Chapter 192: We're Victorious!
Rokuro Yashiro is really scared, this kind of love has not appeared for many years. After graduating from the Etajima Naval Academy in 1881, Yashiro joined the Imperial Japanese Navy after graduation, where he witnessed the rise of the Japanese Navy and participated in many naval battles.
But today, the chief of staff of the Second Fleet, Ishii Shoyoshi, saw that Yashiro Rokuro was timid, he was afraid, it may be the enemy's strange attack method that made His Excellency the Commander feel a sense of frustration, or it may be the cowardice that has been cultivated for many years after it has been broken, anyway, now Yashiro Rokuro has chosen to retreat, which means that he has lost his determination to be a death war faction.
When the commander of the Japanese Second Fleet was scolding his opponent for being shameless here, the commander of the Huafu Fleet, who was the opponent, was talking to his chief of staff, Zong Huaishan, in a relaxed manner.
"The first round of attacks received very good results, and the ultimate goal of torpedo boats and missile boats was to defeat the strong with the small, and today they gave full play to their capabilities." Lin Haichao looked at the results of the report and said happily.
Zong Huaishan also said with a smile on his face: "I guess the commander of the other party is scolding you for being shameless." ”
Lin Haichao didn't care: "What's wrong with shamelessness, the head always teaches us that war is a matter of life and death, and there is no room for arbitrariness, everything is done on the battlefield, defeating the opponent is the highest goal of the battle, and achieving the greatest results at the smallest cost is the supreme command art of a commander, so I don't think a sneak attack is shameful." ”
Lin Haichao asked rhetorically, "Do you think what the head said is right?" ”
"Naturally, the head of the council is right." Zong Huaishan originally wanted to ridicule Lin Haichao, but he was ridiculed in the end, do I dare to disagree with the words of the leader, and it is indeed very reasonable.
Guo Yu is teaching these people. Many of them are educating them with pragmatism, not to be pedantic and not to pursue anything high-sounding, of course, this does not mean that they should be despicable, but only to tell them the importance of pragmatism.
"Report to the commander, the remaining four battleships of the enemy, are heading at full speed in the direction of the Yellow Sea." A staff officer stepped forward to report.
Lin Haichao said: "I still want to run back to Qingdao." Thinking about the beauty, I said that you can't run a single one. ”
Turning to Zhang Peng, the captain of the battleship Guandu, he said, "Don't spare your missiles, now is the time for you to exert your might." ”
"Yes." Zhang Peng saluted.
Then he stood on the command podium and picked up the intercom microphone and said, "I am Captain Zhang Peng, and now I order the battleship to enter the attack state and prepare for a missile attack." ”
"The missile launcher is opened, and the launch is ready."
"Lock on to the target, radio guidance is ready."
Zhang Peng roared: "Launch." ”
I saw that two SS-N-14 anti-ship anti-submarine missiles were launched. The tail spewed flames and flew towards the Japanese fleet, which was six or seven nautical miles away.
The SS-N-14 missile weighs 3930 kg, has a total length of 7.2 meters, a range of 60 km, and a shaped charge of 185 kg with a warhead. With its anti-ship capability, as long as one shot hits the key position of the target, it can make the enemy ship lose its combat effectiveness.
However, Lin Haichao was not idle, and he ordered 2 Sea Dragon-class missile speedboats at the same time. Missiles were launched to attack the fleeing warships of the Japanese Second Fleet, preparing for a group fight. To leave all the Japanese battleships here.
The home weapon of the Sea Dragon-class missile speedboat is the SS-N-22 "Sunburn" anti-ship missile, which is 9.385 meters long, weighs 3,950 kilograms, has a 300-kilogram warhead with semi-armor-piercing blasting effect, and has a range of 100 kilometers. It also has a lot of lethality against huge aircraft carriers.
At this time, Lin Haichao did not spare these missiles, let them attack freely, and the goal was to sink the enemy ship. Didn't your Japanese fleet implement a barrage policy for me, and I will give you a long-range missile attack to see how you deal with this powerful weapon that is ahead of its time. Give you an ultra-long-range precision strike, so that you can taste the taste of Huafu fleet missiles.
Lin Haichao was also afraid that the torpedo boat would drive too close and be swept away by the opponent's shells, and it would be too late to regret it when the time came, so that he would not fight hard with the enemy as he wanted.
Missiles descend from the distant sky like meteors, under the direction of radio waves, accurately fly towards the Japanese battleship, the battleship of this era has no electronic jamming and missile defense function, can only watch the huge missile directly drill into the deck, drill a big hole in the deck and continue to drill into the interior of the battleship, the ability of the semi-armor-piercing blast bomb is fully reflected at this moment, the explosives of the 300 kg warhead exploded instantly, and the huge explosion power made the entire battleship shake all over, Then a huge amount of smoke and dust rose, various parts of the battleship were blown up and splashed in all directions, the boiler exploded, the deck was deformed, and the interior of the battleship became a mess as if it had been stirred.
Originally, there were more than 600 naval soldiers on board, but at that moment, a huge explosion directly took the lives of nearly 200 people, and since that moment the battleship has been paralyzed and has no power to fight again. The captain of the Yakumo was also in the explosion of that missile, and he was loyal to their emperor.
Yakumo, completely defeated. Now only a shell is left floating on the sea.
Missiles continued to wreak havoc over the Japanese fleet, and there was a great deal of posture that they would not give up until they were sunk.
Yashiro Rokuro looked at the huge missile flying in the distant sky, and lost the ability to think for a while, what kind of enemy he had encountered, and he had such a weapon, he had never heard of any country having such a huge cannonball flying in the distance with flames.
But the missile didn't give him time to continue thinking, because the missile had already glided through the sky and headed for the flagship of the Iwate.
"Ah......h
"Boom, boom." The flames soared, and the bridge of the battleship was directly overturned by the power of the missile explosion, and instantly turned into a pile of scrap metal, and Yashiro Rokuro, a vice admiral with legendary experience, was the executioner who once single-handedly plotted to seize Qingdao, so he was directly blown into the sky by the angry missile, and finally became a corpse.
"Bastard, come out to fight to the death, cowards hiding in the shadows." One of the gunners was already in a state of frenzy by this time, shouting and firing the shells into the distance, no matter where the enemy was, all he could do now was keep firing and firing.
"Organize people to rescue the soldiers who fell into the water and put down the lifeboat." A co-captain shouted.
The ships were full of scattered soldiers, some fighting hard, some dodging the fire on the ships, and the whole fleet was already in a state of chaos.
The only four remaining battleships were all attacked by missiles in this round of attacks, the Chitose was hit again, directly hit by a missile, due to the small tonnage was directly hit and sunk to the bottom of the sea, and the protective cruiser Tone was also hit hard, and two missiles patronized the bow position of this battleship, directly guiding the Tone to enter a large number of water, and now it is capsizing, and it seems that it can no longer escape the fate of sinking to the bottom of the sea.
The Iwate and Yakumo, though still able to float on the sea, have now lost any chance of resistance and struggle, and can only wait there for the judgment of the god of death.
The sea was once again silent, and the sea, which was the home of the navy except for the Japanese navy soldiers who were still struggling to survive at sea, has now become a grave for them.
"Help, please come and help me." Soldiers cry out for help at sea.
"Lifeboats, we're here, we're here."
"Please Amaterasu to hear my prayers."
But the cries and prayers of the soldiers did not move the heavens, he just looked coldly at the soldiers who were struggling in the sea, and did not make any response.
By this time, the naval battle was basically nearing its end, and only the final sweeping work remained, except for a few Japanese battleships that had lost their combat effectiveness and were adrift alone on the sea.
"Victory, we are victorious," cheers echoed on every ship of the Huafu fleet, this is the cheer of victory, but also the joy after success, since the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, China did not have a decent navy, the national strength is weakened, and the military strength is also weakened, now the Huafu fleet has defeated the invincible Japanese fleet, how can we not make these soldiers proud, now these soldiers have been excited.
"Commander, we have won, our Huafu fleet has won the battle against the Japanese Navy." Chief of Staff Zong Huaishan was also excited at this time, and kept saying beside Lin Haichao.
Lin Haichao worked hard to make his face look calm, in fact, he was also inexplicably excited in his heart, yes, he won this naval battle, is he going to be recorded in the historical record, it is possible that this naval battle will be recorded in history, and his name Lin Haichao will also be remembered by future generations.
This is all the opportunity given to me by the head of the meeting, otherwise I am only a poor person, how can I have such an opportunity, I should now inform the head of the meeting of the current results, so that the head of the meeting is also happy.
Lin Haichao raised his hand to stop the commotion in the bridge and said loudly, "The battle is nearing the end, and now I want to report the result to the leader." ”
Suddenly, the bridge became silent, and everyone was waiting for Lin Haichao's report.
The communicator was connected, and after Guo Yu picked it up, he heard Lin Haichao's suppressed excited voice coming from inside, "Chief, the naval battle has basically ended, now I will report to you the results of the battle, and ask for instructions on the next task." ”
Then Lin Haichao roughly reported the entire naval battle to Guo Yu, Guo Yu's hand holding the communicator was also a little trembling with excitement, he couldn't help but be excited. This is its own fleet, and the victory over the Japanese fleet on the sea is a national victory and the fulfillment of one's own wish.
"Okay, very well done, when I come back, I will personally give you a medal, you are all heroes, history will remember you, tell every naval soldier, I, Guo Yu, am proud of you." Guo Yu said loudly in the communicator, his excitement overflowing. (To be continued......) R1292
