The gunners who opened the Hawkeye, although the shooting efficiency was still not as good as 100 shots, and from time to time some shells flew to the sea.

However, it's much better than a blind shot.

After two minutes of shelling, the first target of the fire, the light cruiser was on fire in many places.

Although this is not a big problem for a warship, it greatly slows down the enemy's advance.

……

"Captain, let's fight back, if we go on like this, we won't be able to get close to each other's ships at all." The adjutant looked at the thickening black smoke, and the deck and superstructure that were constantly rising from the bridge, and reluctantly advised his commander.

"We ......"

"Boom ......"

A violent explosion came from the left side of the bridge, and a violent blast swept through most of the bridge......

When the lieutenant stood up, shaking his still buzzing head, it took a moment to take a look at the surroundings:

The captain was dead, two sharp shards of glass piercing his neck, and the blood had stained the captain's lieutenant's uniform redder and redder......

The second officer was directly shocked to death because he was too close to the explosion area......

The navigator was knocked to the ground, struggling to his feet with his hands on the glass shards that were almost paved to the ground.

The telegraph operator, on the other hand, was bleeding from his forehead and looked at the messy bridge at a loss......

……

The gunner of a GW Tiger showed a puzzled look, he was obviously aiming at the second turret, why did he fly directly to the bridge?

"Forget it, let's be accurate next time......" The gunner pouted, waiting for the shells to be reloaded.

……

"I am the vice-captain, because the captain died in the line of duty, I am now temporarily performing the duties of the captain, all ships, now shelling the opposing transport ships!"

The adjutant gave a new combat order after several medics carried the deceased away from the messy bridge.

Soon, several warships slowly stopped, and then aimed their gun barrels at the transport.

Zhang Shixin couldn't see this scene clearly, but it was not good for the other party to stop, so he ordered the self-propelled artillery unit to continue firing.

……

In fact, after more than a dozen rounds of shelling, the first turret of the light cruiser was already out of combat capability. For no other reason, after several high-explosive shells, many of the crew members of this turret were killed and injured, and most of them have lost their combat capability.

Although it is difficult for high-explosive shells to penetrate the turret of naval guns, it is not a big problem to kill and injure the personnel inside.

As for the second turret, the raised turret base was connected to the entrance of the deck, and a soldier staggered out with blood flowing from his nostrils and the corners of his mouth, and he wanted to call out to the medics, but before he could shout, a cannonball smashed on the deck next to him.

Several soldiers with faucets in their hands ran out of the cabin dragging water pipes, and one soldier slipped on the deck, and when he looked closely, it was half of a blown off arm......

He was about to scream, but a 203mm high-explosive bomb landed on the deck, quickly engulfing him, and several others, into a heat wave of death......

……

Unbeknownst to the S-51 gunner, who fired the 203mm shell, he was one of the few people in the self-propelled artillery formation to get off to a good start. He just felt that his luck was quite good when he hit the enemy.

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

"......" Zhang Shixin watched speechlessly as the shells fell in front of the transport ship, knowing that the other party had begun to counterattack, but he was not speechless because the other party was only counterattacking now, but he found that the light cruiser was actually going to put on a sideways shooting posture.

In many cases, the lateral shelling stance is the combat method adopted by most warships, because the T-position can exert all the firepower as much as possible.

But the light cruiser obviously did not change its attack posture because of this, but according to Zhang Shixin's estimate, the other side seemed to have broken the two turrets in front and had to use the stern turret to attack.

"Is this all right?" Zhang Shixin smiled subconsciously, because this was completely unexpected.

He used high-explosive bombs to effectively kill and injure the opponent's personnel, and Zhang Shixin had not thought about attacking the opponent's hull, or even penetrating the opponent with heavy damage.

Because it's not possible.

Unless you use Dora mm and hit the deck with one shot, the other party will not say that it is a light cruiser, even if it is a battle cruiser, it may be a second shot......

Therefore, Zhang Shixin did not expect to sink the warship with these self-propelled guns, which can only be regarded as light firepower compared to naval warships.

His plan is to use high-explosive shells as much as possible to inflict area damage on the enemy and make them retreat.

In fact, Zhang Shixin's estimate is not much different from the actual situation:

The light cruiser that was set on fire, the crew of the first turret basically lost their combat capability, and the second turret was even more unlucky, a 210mm shell directly hit the heat dissipation hole of the gun barrel, and the triple 203mm naval guns were all blown up in an instant, and almost half of the crew members were killed and injured.

Needless to say, the bridge suffered heavy casualties, and the few people could still feel the sea breeze blowing in their faces, which had been pouring black smoke into the bridge, so that the adjutant had to order the transfer of the flagship.

Because this bridge has been difficult to perform as a command center.

Flames were already rising in many parts of the deck area, and the ever-expanding fires were only enough for the surviving members to fight with their lives against the toxic smoke.

Some of the soldiers who participated in the firefighting were stunned by the poisonous smoke, some were carried to the already overcrowded infirmary in time, and after receiving treatment, they were still able to live, while others were suffocated to death because of too much inhalation of poisonous smoke, various gases, toxins, and lack of oxygen.

Zhang Shixin did not have enough firepower to sink a warship, but these circumstances could make a warship lose considerable combat effectiveness.

But Zhang Shixin also encountered shelling at this time.

The 155mm triple guns of the two destroyers were constantly pouring ammunition on his transport.

Although most of the shells were also missed, or were bounced off by the 300mm protective armor on the side of the ship.

However, there was also a Panther self-propelled gun located in the center, which was directly hit by a shell, and after a violent explosion, the Panther self-propelled gun warhead disappeared, the suspension system was almost completely destroyed, and the barrel was even blown up in front of a GW Tiger P dozens of meters away.

Zhang Shixin was not much better at this time, because the two jets of water that were nearly missed, and the waves splashed on him, making him almost a soup chicken.

"......" Zhang Shixin At this time, he was still in a posture with a telescope......

The next moment, a pleasant laughter came from his side, and Zhang Shixin turned around angrily, but he saw that Grelian's clothes were also soaked, and they were tightly clinging to the other party's body, looking exquisite......

Zhang Shixin hurriedly turned his head, and was about to say something, but he heard Grelian's voice: "Why did you twist your head?" ”

Zhang Shixin heard this, until now is not the time to be polite, so he said directly: "Shouldn't you change your clothes?" ”

After hearing this, Grelian subconsciously looked at his body......

A few seconds later, a scream was heard from among the warships with the rumbling of cannons......

"Ahh

Zhang Shixin had been prepared for this, except that he was really startled by the other party's voice, Zhang Shixin was not surprised by this.

The sound of leather boots sounded, Zhang Shixin shrugged his shoulders, and then left his original position and returned to the lower cabin.

Before entering the cabin, Zhang Shixin made a risky order: "Prioritize destroying the opponent's turret as much as possible." ”

After entering the cabin, Zhang Shixin walked to the aisle of the cabin, heard the sound of laughter coming from a cabin, and didn't care, but walked straight in front of the two plainclothes doormen.

Zhang Shixin's gamble was to sink the opponent with an assault tiger king.

It's unlikely, but it's better than trying nothing.

……

Zhang Shixin's order was well executed, and dozens of self-propelled guns were constantly firing in addition to the assault Tiger King, as well as other self-propelled artillery and self-propelled rocket artillery.

Although the hit rate of the 210mm high-explosive shell is very low, as long as one shot hits the opponent, even if it hits the barrel of the opponent's naval gun, the opponent's naval gun will at least end up damaged.

A 203mm high-explosive bomb smashed into the top cover of the first turret of a destroyer, and soon after a burst of explosion, the rear passage door of the turret was opened, and a soldier with a bloody face, all over his body injured, and his left arm was blown off.

However, the soldier shook his head, and in a hoarse voice, with all his strength, but incoherently, he said two words: "Quick...... Run ......"

Before the two soldiers who rescued people could understand what was going on, the first turret exploded violently, and the entire turret was almost torn apart by the fierce blue flames, and a stream of blue flames directly devoured the soldier in front of the passage door.

The soldiers were stunned by the scene before them, because they never expected such a thing as a turret explosion......

Not to mention that they didn't know, even the gunner, who was now waiting to be reloaded, didn't know that he seemed to have hit the jackpot.

His 203mm shell smashed into the top cover of the destroyer's first turret, and the violent shock wave penetrated more than 100 millimeters of turret armor, and many of the personnel in the ship's gun turret were directly injured.

Although the 203mm high-explosive shell did not directly penetrate the top armor of the turret, one of the soldiers who was injured was lifted from the gondola.

Badly wounded, he threw himself into the cannonballs that were pulled up, knocking several shells to the ground, and the fuse of one of the shells was slammed into the ground......

The other shells were pushed down into the lower ammunition depot of the first turret......

The soldier had not been killed directly because he had been far away from the shells that had been killed in the turret, and he had heard a muffled sound from the ammunition depot below.

The soldier then used all the strength he had left to make that scene......

This also foreshadowed the fate of this warship, although the 155mm shells are more powerful than Theo, but they can't hold the huge base of shells in the ammunition storage, and how can the hull of the destroyer withstand such damage?

The ammunition storage depot of the first turret was detonated, and although it was not possible to tear the hull directly, several relatively large cracks had appeared in the hull, and a large number of them had entered the water.

Soon, the cabin at the bottom of the first turret was almost completely flooded with seawater, and the hull, which had lost a certain balance of bearing capacity, could not bear the increasing weight of the center and front, and the hull began to break on a large scale from the bottom, and the sea water frantically poured into the gap, speeding up the pace of the hull break......

Soon, the people on deck felt the groaning sound coming from the hull of the ship, and some experienced soldiers naturally knew what was going on, and after they were stunned for a while, they quickly risked being hit by artillery fire, and ran from all parts of the ship to the lifeboat.

There were many busy officers and soldiers gathered near the lifeboat, and some even did not hesitate to use their old fists or even raise their weapons for a position......

Some people knew that if they waited so long, before they put the lifeboat down, the destroyer would have to sink first, and then jump into the water without saying a word.

Some kind veterans saw that some recruits didn't move, and they were still stunned, and couldn't help shouting: "Stupid, don't jump yet?!" The ship is sinking! ”

So, most of the soldiers followed the veterans and looked for a place to dive......

"Captain, the soldiers are all ......" the officer on the destroyer's bridge saw this scene, and then said to the captain who smiled helplessly.

"I see, you can go too." The captain said with a calm face suddenly. "I'm going to stay here because I'm ...... I've been here since I joined the army, and I can't let it go......"

"But what about your family?" The officer also wanted to persuade his own captain.

"......, I think you also know the news, my two sons are both commanders in the 1st Integrated Panzer Corps, and I am afraid that they have also used the reputation of a soldier to complete their mission. I also don't want me to be ridiculed by them down there. Let's go. It's been a pleasure working with you. After the captain finished speaking, he showed a smile of relief.

"Captain, go all the way!" The officer gave a military salute, and then quickly ran down the stairs down the deck with the rest of the crew on the bridge.

Captain "......" didn't say anything, but took out two things from a leather bag hanging behind his seat.

A notebook with a yellowed cover, and a photograph.

The photo is a photo of a middle-aged naval cadet and two young army lieutenants......

……

The destroyer sank quickly because the hull was broken in two.

On the surface of the sea, there were more than a dozen lifeboats and more than a hundred soldiers swimming towards friendly warships......

After Zhang Shixin got the news, he had an incredible feeling in his heart: "This is all right?!" ”

"You're lucky...... "Cinya woke up, gave Zhang Shixin a blank look, and then fell asleep again......

Zhang Shixin looked at Sinia with a bad face very helplessly, and thought, "You deliberately woke up, just to spit out me?" ”

……

After Grelian, who had changed his clothes, got the news, he also had an incredible feeling in his heart.

Because she couldn't have imagined that Zhang Shixin would be able to create an unprecedented miracle.

"Unexpectedly, that pervert really deserves the title of miracle worker. If he wasn't, so much the better. Grelian subconsciously waved his calloused fist in his palm, but he didn't expect the maid next to him to be teasing her:

"Your Royal Highness, do you care a little about a certain man?"

"No, who cares about that pervert!" Grelian categorically denied such a thing. However, when she saw the playful eyes of this maid who was called a master and servant, who was actually no different from a good friend, she couldn't help but be ashamed: "Little Nizi, you have itchy skin!?" ”

"Princess, spare your life!"

Another fight took place in the cabin......

…………………………………………………… Dividing line ..........................................

"Commander, we can't fight anymore." Another destroyer bridge that turned into a temporary flagship, the captain of the destroyer said this fact.

The adjutant of "......" looked at several warships that had almost completely lost their long-range attack capability, and knew that if he wanted to complete the task, he would have to get close to two kilometers or more and release torpedoes......

Originally, I thought that the opponent's firepower was not enough to sink the warship, but now, there is a lesson from the past. They got too close and probably didn't wait for the opportunity to release the torpedo, and they had to follow the end of the destroyer.

He looked at the rest of the warships, almost all of them were beaten into thick smoke, although the actual damage to the hull was not great, but it looked very miserable.

"That's enough of an excuse......" the adjutant asked himself uncertainly. But after thinking about it for a while, he decided to follow the advice of the destroyer captain.

"Retreat!"

……

Looking at a few fast-running warships, Zhang Shixin looked back at his self-propelled artillery unit again, except for a few self-propelled guns that were destroyed, and the deck was smashed out of a few craters with broken wooden planks, Zhang Shixin never expected that he would win so easily this time.

Although there are many unexpected factors, war is often a place where accidents often occur.

It's like the other party has a battle cruiser, he doesn't have to fight, just fight with the enemy and run away......

A shell of more than 300mm came down, not to mention those self-propelled guns, even the Assault Tiger King had to be blown into a state of parts......

"Huh......" Zhang Shixin breathed a deep sigh of relief, he suddenly felt that it was still good to blow the sea breeze after the battle.

"It would be more perfect if there were no vicious girls." Zhang Shixin glanced at Grelian, who was constantly glaring at him, and shrugged his shoulders......

PS: Okay, finish the mission, albeit a little late......
