"Boom-boom-boom-boom-" The four admiral-class super dreadnought battleships of the Fourth Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy launched a salvo of their main guns at the remaining batteries in the port more than 30,000 meters away from the port of Yokohama.

Of the 176 carrier-based aircraft that launched an air raid on the port of Yokohama, after blowing up 8 batteries and several warships of the Japanese Navy, only 138 carrier-based aircraft were able to return in the direction of the four Shinzan-class aircraft carriers, and the other 38 carrier-based aircraft were destroyed by Japanese anti-aircraft fire.

Seeing the four super dreadnought battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy firing at the remaining batteries in the port of Yokohama, the Japanese captured two New York-class super dreadnought battleships of the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy, and immediately began to bombard the four super dreadnought battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy with their 356 mm main guns.

The 10 remaining batteries in the port of Yokohama, the shore defense guns in 2 of the batteries, also shelled 4 super dreadnought battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy.

These two batteries are the two largest in the port of Yokohama, about 4 kilometers apart, and each battery has six 40 times caliber 305 mm coastal defense guns and five 40 times caliber 280 mm coastal defense guns, each battery also has four 45 times caliber 102 mm coastal defense guns and four 45 times caliber 75 mm coastal defense guns, and the large-caliber coastal defense guns of Yokohama Port of 280 mm or more are all deployed in these two batteries.

The 2 batteries were also built very well. The reinforced concrete at the top is even 2.5 meters thick, and the reinforced concrete walls on the side facing the sea are also 2.5 meters thick. On the sides of both sides, as well as behind the casemates, the reinforced concrete walls were also 2 meters thick. Definitely can be called 2 giant turtle shells.

Just now, during the air raid, an 800-kilogram armor-piercing aerial bomb hit the top of one of the giant turtle shell batteries. But the 2.5-meter-thick reinforced concrete stubbornly withstood this aerial bomb and protected the 11 large-caliber coastal defense guns in the battery, and now the 12 40-caliber 305-millimeter coastal defense guns in these two batteries first fired on the super dreadnought battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy, because of the large elevation angle of the coastal defense guns, the 12 40-caliber 305-mm coastal defense guns, the effective range can reach almost 30,000 meters, against the four general-class super dreadnought battleships of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire. There is still a very big danger.

The Japanese firmly believe that as long as there are these two giant turtle shell batteries in the port of Yokohama, the warships of the Imperial Chinese Navy will not want to get close to the port of Yokohama, and in the underground bunker of the port of Yokohama, the Minister of the Japanese Navy and the commander of the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy, Heihachiro Togo, ordered to a Japanese Navy Commander next to him: "Let the 12 305-mm giant guns in the No. 1 and No. 2 batteries keep firing at the four super dreadnought battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy, if they can sink a super dreadnought battleship of the Imperial Chinese Navy." , maybe the fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy outside the port of Yokohama should retreat. ”

The No. 1 and No. 2 batteries mentioned by Heihachiro Togo refer to the two giant turtle shell batteries.

The Japanese Navy Commander nodded and said, "Hi! Commander! The subordinates immediately sent the commander's order to Battery No. 1 and Battery No. 2. I believe that the artillery officers and men of our two batteries will definitely bring surprises to His Excellency the Commander! ”

Heihachiro Togo nodded, if there were no these batteries in the port of Yokohama, especially the No. 1 and No. 2 batteries. Heihachiro Togo didn't have the confidence to be able to block the huge Chinese Imperial Navy fleet in front of him, but the fighters of the Chinese Empire were really powerful, and they were in the air raid just now. Eight batteries in the port of Yokohama were completely blown up, and most of the 40-caliber 210-mm coastal defense guns and 40-caliber 150-mm coastal defense guns were destroyed. At present, the firepower of the shore defense artillery in the port of Yokohama mainly depends on the No. 1 and No. 2 batteries.

With this fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy, the distance between it and the port of Yokohama was brought closer. The artillery bombardment of both sides became more intense, and each other's shells fell on each other's bodies, and when the battle line composed of 4 famous general-class super dreadnought battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy was 27,000 meters away from the port of Yokohama, the 10 40 times caliber 280 mm coastal defense guns in the No. 1 and No. 2 batteries of the port of Yokohama also fired at the four super dreadnought battleships of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, and this distance has entered the effective range of 280 mm large-caliber coastal defense guns.

A violent explosion sounded on the Qin Qiong, a famous admiral-class super dreadnought battleship of the Imperial Chinese Navy, which was a 305-mm shell fired from the No. 1 battery in Yokohama Port, hitting the turret of a double 50-caliber 343-mm main gun of the Qin Qiong super dreadnought, although it did not completely blow up the turret, but it killed more than 20 officers and men of the Royal Navy in the turret, and the barrels of the double batteries were also deformed. The Qin Qiong Super Dreadnought Battleship immediately lost one-fifth of its main gun firepower.

In the bridge of the Zhao Yun Super Dreadnought Battleship, the flagship of the Fourth Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy, Chen Ming, the commander of the Fourth Fleet, saw that the Qin Qiong Super Dreadnought Battleship was hit, and immediately said to Li Ran, the captain of the Zhao Yun: "Immediately ask about the loss of the Qin Qiong!" ”

Li Ran immediately walked to several radio stations on the other side of the bridge, and returned to Chen Ming's side in less than half a minute and said, "One of Qin Qiong's double-company main guns was damaged and could not participate in the next battle. ”

At this moment, an explosion sounded on the top of the flagship Zhao Yun Super Dreadnought battleship, and the bodies of Chen Ming and Li Ran in the bridge couldn't help but shake, Chen Ming frowned and shouted: "Find out the loss immediately!" ”

After a while, the news came that reassured Chen Ming, 1 shell hit the side armor on the surface of the Zhao Yun super dreadnought battleship, it should be a large-caliber coastal defense gun fired by the Japanese battery, the caliber should be about 280 mm, fortunately, the position where the side armor of the Zhao Yun was hit, the armor thickness reached 380 mm. The Japanese shell, which was about 280 mm, did not penetrate the armor. It just left a deep pit mark.

What made Chen Ming's brows suddenly furrow even tighter was that he was staring at 1 343 mm armor-piercing shell. Hit the top of a giant battery in the port of Yokohama, but it didn't cause much damage to the giant battery, and it didn't take more than 1 minute for the gun port of the giant battery to start blazing again.

Chen Ming said to Li Ran beside him: "It seems that the two giant batteries mentioned by the Military Intelligence Bureau should be the two batteries that are currently firing at our four general-class super dreadnought battleships." ”

Li Ran said in a deep voice: "According to the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Bureau, the thickness of the reinforced concrete of these two giant batteries is more than 2 meters, and in some directions, it is more than 2.5 meters, which are really two giant turtle shells. If we want to destroy the Japanese navy in the port of Yokohama, we must knock out these two turtle shells, but now it seems that it is not easy to get rid of these two giant batteries, just now in the air raid, 800 kg of aerial bombs hit the giant batteries, and the 343 mm main gun shells of our super dreadnought battleships also hit the giant batteries, but they did not bring any damage to the giant batteries. ”

Chen Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Order the four general-class super dreadnought battleships to continue to close the distance towards the port of Yokohama, the closer the distance." The higher the armor-piercing power of the 343-mm main gun shells, I believe that after we close to a certain distance, the shells of the 343-mm main gun will definitely be able to penetrate the front of the giant turret. As long as these two giant batteries are destroyed, the other batteries in Yokohama Port will not pose much of a threat to us. ”

The armor-piercing ability of armor-piercing shells of naval guns can be divided into two vectors, that is, horizontal forward and vertical downward. Armor-piercing shells that have just come out of the muzzle have the strongest horizontal forward armor-piercing power, and the shells fall vertically at the maximum range. has the maximum vertical downward armor piercing power, and the vertical armor piercing power is lower than the horizontal armor piercing power.

The shell of the main gun of the Admiral-class super dreadnought battleship just now. Hit the top of the giant turret, and as a result, the power of the 343 mm armor-piercing shell to penetrate the vertical armor did not penetrate the top of the giant battery, Chen Ming can only let the 4 general-class super dreadnought battleships close the distance to see if the horizontal armor-piercing power of the 343 mm armor-piercing shell can penetrate the reinforced concrete on the front of the giant battery.

At this time, the Japanese captured a 356-mm main gun shell fired by the US Pacific Fleet's super dreadnought battleship Kennedy, which fell into the sea water more than 100 meters away from the super dreadnought battleship Zhao Yun, and exploded a water column more than 20 meters high. Now these 2 super dreadnoughts of the Japanese are constantly firing at our 4 Admiral-class super dreadnought battleships, and if we don't pay attention to them, our 4 Admiral-class dreadnought battleships may suffer. ”

Chen Ming nodded and said: "Order Bai Qi and Li Mu to immediately turn the muzzle, Bai Qi will fire at Kennedy, Li Mu will fire at the other US Navy super dreadnought battleship Adams, and the flagships Zhao Yun and Qin Qiong will continue to fire at the two giant batteries in Yokohama Port." ”

Togo Heihachiro saw the 1 main gun shell of the Chinese Imperial Navy's super dreadnought battleship in the underground bunker, which hit the top of the No. 1 battery, and was immediately frightened, and immediately asked people to contact the No. 1 battery to inquire about the situation, but then the large-caliber shore defense artillery in the No. 1 battery continued to fire, so that Togo Heihachiro's tension suddenly dissipated a lot, and soon the No. 1 battery sent a telegram to Togo Heihachiro, and the No. 1 battery was hit by a shell from a large-caliber naval gun, in addition to more than 20 Japanese artillerymen who were shocked and bruised, It did not cause much damage to the No. 1 battery, and the 11 large-caliber coastal defense guns and 8 small- and medium-caliber coastal defense guns in the No. 1 battery were not affected in the slightest.

The Japanese Navy Osa who had been following Togo Heihachiro said excitedly: "Commander, if we continue to fight like this, our No. 1 and No. 2 batteries in Yokohama Port will occupy a very big advantage, and the main guns of the Super Dreadnought Battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy will not be able to penetrate the reinforced concrete walls of our No. 1 and No. 2 batteries, maybe it won't be long before our No. 1 and No. 2 batteries can sink one super dreadnought battleship of the Chinese Imperial Navy, This is something that the entire Second Combined Expeditionary Fleet has not done! ”

Just as the words of the Japanese Navy Commander fell, a violent explosion suddenly came from the No. 1 battery built by the Japanese in the port of Yokohama, and the thick reinforced concrete on the top of the battery was overturned, and the giant battery became a pile of ruins in a series of explosions.

The Japanese Navy Osa and Togo Heihachiro were stunned as the highly-anticipated No. 1 battery turned into a pile of ruins, and Osa stumbled and said, "This is ...... This is...... What's going on? ”

It turned out that the Zhao Yun super dreadnought battleship conducted another round of salvo fire at the No. 1 battery of the Japanese in the port of Yokohama, one of which was a 343-mm armor-piercing shell, fortunately directly from the No. 1 battery port into the inside of the battery, this 343 mm shell exploded after the explosion suddenly detonated a large number of shells in the battery reserves, no matter how hard the turtle shell was, it could not bear the power of so many shells to explode together, and in an instant, 11 large-caliber coastal defense guns and 8 small and medium-caliber coastal defense guns in the No. 1 battery were all destroyed. The bones of more than 300 Japanese artillerymen in the turret are gone.

Before Heihachiro Togo could figure out how the No. 1 battery in the port of Yokohama was destroyed, something suddenly appeared that made Heihachiro Togo desperate, the top of the No. 2 battery in the port of Yokohama had already been hit by a 343-mm armor-piercing shell, and another 343-mm armor-piercing shell hit this position at the top of the No. 2 battery, and the first 343-mm armor-piercing shell had blown a deep pit nearly 90 centimeters deep on the top of the No. 2 battery. As a result, another 343-mm armor-piercing shell fell into this pit, so battery No. 2 was saddened.

The 343-mm armor-piercing shells pierced through the remaining reinforced concrete in the pit at the top of Battery No. 2 and exploded inside Battery No. 2, detonating a huge number of shells of various types inside, turning Battery No. 2 into a pile of ruins immediately after Battery No. 1.

The two giant batteries built by the Japanese in the port of Yokohama turned into ruins one after another, which made Chen Ming, the commander of the Fourth Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy, feel incredible, Chen Ming was ready to pay a certain price in order to pull out the two giant batteries, but how suddenly the two giant batteries were blown up one after another! (To be continued.) )
