Chapter 204: The Battle of the Arabian Sea 15

The cheers of the fighters aboard the Pacific have not stopped. At that moment, there was a rapid whistling sound in the air. The first time Li Guang heard this kind of whistling, it was like a demon whistling at his head, which was terrible and terrifying. Definitely not the whistling of shells that deviated from the target.

Although he has not experienced it, and no one has taught him by word and deed, Li Guang just knows it. Maybe it's the sixth sense.

Li Guang moved extremely fast at this moment. Zheng Xuechang, who hugged the porthole, squatted down, and while squatting, he didn't forget to yell, "Squat." ”

This was not a shell fired by the Hiei, but a salvo of naval guns from Kirishima, another battleship of the devils. It was the first time that the Kirishima shell had hit the battleship Pacific, and as luck would have it, the huge shell was blowing up in the middle of the bridge building and the third turret.

More than 700 kilograms of shells, carrying huge kinetic energy, directly penetrated the armor with a thickness of 10 inches and 254 millimeters, and exploded inside the battleship.

The huge force of the explosion caused the butt of the third main turret of the Pacific, which weighed nearly 1,000 tons, to pout and completely scrap. And the armor of the front face of the superstructure, which was more than 100 mm thick, was also blown to tatters and staggered with canine teeth.

The impact point of the shell was only 15 meters away from the bridge where Li Guang was located, and the height difference was about 20 meters. This distance, even with layers of steel barriers, is very terrifying.

In the bridge, they are all the elites of the Naval Resistance Force. Li Guang, Zheng Xuechang, four staff officers, chief officers and more than a dozen people are all the core figures of the Naval Resistance Army.

If the devil's cannon is a few meters away, it will be difficult for none of these people to survive, and if it hits the bridge, not only these people, but hundreds of people in the entire superstructure will not survive.

After Li Guang came to his senses, he found that several officers of the Naval Resistance Army were watching him. Zheng Xuechang still stood in front of the observation hole and commanded the battle.

It was a miracle that none of the officers of the Navy Resistance Army in the bridge were killed, and only three of the broken ones were carried to the infirmary for treatment.

A British officer, however, bled and died on the spot.

Without him, everyone in the Maritime Resistance Army unconditionally believed in Li Guang, Li Guang's words were orders, and when Li Guang shouted and squatted down, everyone squatted down.

This posture is the best at cushioning the shock of the explosion to the human body. And, more crucially, crouching can avoid the blast wave of the explosion coming from the porthole of the bridge.

To a certain extent, the number of people killed directly by shells of this level is far less than that of shock waves.

According to later statistics, this shell killed 35 people and injured nearly 100 people. The hardware loss was the scrapping of a twin main gun turret. The artillery itself was intact, but the automatic ammunition feeding mechanism was completely destroyed. This armor-piercing projectile not only pierced the armor of the upper deck, but also the huge kinetic energy penetrated the two lower decks, and exploded just one layer above the propellant warehouse. If the kinetic energy was a little larger, it would cause the shells to explode, and the battleship Pacific could be completely scrapped, or even blown in two.

When Li Guang woke up, the situation on the battlefield had changed dramatically.

Although the battleship Pacific was heavily damaged, the devil's Birui was even worse.

As if in retaliation, the bomb landed at a similar location to where the Pacific was injured.

The explosion was so powerful that it destroyed the second turret of the battleship Hiei. The crashing steel blew up the superstructure on the battleship Hiei beyond recognition.

To be fair, the damage to the Pyei was not as severe as that of the Pacific, and all the damage was mostly superficial. The protection of the battleship Pacific was still slightly inferior to that of the Japanese battleship, and the Japanese turret was not penetrated by armor-piercing shells carrying such high energy. However, even if it did not penetrate, the turret had been scrapped. The explosive power of a shell of this level is already difficult for all machines in the world to resist.

Although the damage to the turret was not very serious, the point of explosion was closer to the porthole of the bridge, and the shock wave rushed into the bridge without any shelter in the middle. The shock wave that came from the observation window directly killed all the Japanese commanders in the bridge.

In this case, even if all of them are squatting, it is difficult to get alive. A huge shock wave rushes from the mouth, nose, ears and eyes into the internal organs of the human body at a speed far beyond the speed of sound, and can destroy all the functions of the human body in one second.

The British liaison officer who died on the bridge of the Pacific was like this, with few external injuries on the surface, but all the internal organs were rotten into a pulp.

Take advantage of your illness to kill you. The Hiei lost command and did not respond at all, continuing to go straight. Zheng Xuechang would be a fool if he didn't know to seize such an opportunity. During the time that Li Guang was unconscious, the Pacific hit two shells of the Hiei in succession.

One of the shells was the side armor of the Hiei. According to the design of the battleship, the key part is to be able to withstand the main gun attack of the same class. Remember that it is the key part, if the shell hits three or four meters down, it is difficult to say whether it can penetrate or not.

The Hiei, on the other hand, was only a modified version of a battle cruiser, and many parts of the armor are difficult to compare with a real battleship.

The impact point was just over a meter from the upper deck, and the huge force not only pierced a large hole in the hull, but the bomb exploded inside the battleship, destroying more than a dozen cabins, and the Hiei was now billowing wolf smoke.

What's more, this shell killed not only the personnel, but also affected the maneuverability of the battleship Hiei.

The Japanese battleship saw that the flagship was damaged, and it didn't care about safety, and if it didn't work hard, it wouldn't be successful, and a destroyer began to desperately approach the Pacific.

The destroyer of the little devil has a great advantage over the pickup destroyer of the Naval Resistance Army, first of all, it has the main gun, followed by the speed, and then the torpedo with a great range.

But all this is in terms of hardware and software, and the Maritime Resistance Army has two major advantages, sonar and searchlight. These two things are also available on the devil's destroyer, but the performance gap is much bigger.

A simple searchlight, the single power of the searchlight of the Naval Resistance Army reached 10 kilowatts, and the three groups of searchlights were 240 kilowatts. The pillar of light can be up to ten kilometers away.

The little devil's searchlight, although it can also shine ten kilometers, but the beam of light is less than three kilometers, which is barely enough as illumination, but it is impossible to interfere with the opponent's aiming line.

Watch as the Japanese destroyers rushed up. The two pickup trucks of the Maritime Resistance Army did not show weakness and took the initiative to meet them. This is the formation that Zheng Xuechang readjusted during Li Guang's coma.

The little devil destroyer worked hard, and he really came up with the means of taking care of the house. At the beginning, the Naval Resistance Army captured several officers of the Devil Navy and asked about the tactics of the Japanese destroyers, which attacked five kilometers with torpedoes during the day and two kilometers at night.

For a destroyer with almost zero armor, this is indeed a desperate tactic. However, after the exercise and test of the Naval Resistance Force, this tactic is really quite dangerous, especially at night, and it is simply a killer for the main warship.
