As an excellent admiral's intuition, Tsuboi Kozo was keenly aware that the freighter flying the American flag was not simple!

He never thought that such a guy would appear in the world. But since it is in front of it, it must not be taken lightly! Just like the book of commentaries, walking the rivers and lakes, you meet monks, Taoists, laymen, beggars, nuns, children, and blind people, you must be careful. But where there is such a strange existence, most of them will have unexpected abilities.

Similarly, a freighter that rushes forward in a naval battle and fires inexplicably, who knows if it is a strange warship impersonated?

Beat! Let's take out the most threatening guy first!

The "Dongming" table is too abrupt, and the acceleration is fast! The speed is also fast! The key is that the speed at which he fires the cannonballs is just as fast and accurate!

Such a target, if you don't knock him out, if you don't pay attention, it may become a killer weapon!

The "Yoshino" fiercely adjusted its direction, and after firing three shells at the "Jiyuan Ship", it aimed at the "Dongming" at the oblique stab and accelerated its advance!

The gun fire setup of Japan's fastest flagship makes it easy to fire three rapid-fire rapid-fire guns at the front at the same time as it advances. In terms of rate of fire and density, it is one of the best in Asia. Although facing five ships, Tsuboi Kozo was completely sure that he could tear a gap in the middle, fire on both sides, and bombard them to death!

There is also an advantage to doing this, it can easily avoid the two 210mm twin-mounted Krupp main guns in the forward direction of the "Jiyuan Ship", which can be said to be counted in one fell swoop.

It was already racing at speed, and the Yoshino's maneuvers looked exceptionally nimble. The "Jiyuan Ship," which had finally aimed its bow at the target, lost its firing range when it landed. But Fang Boqian felt inexplicably relaxed. Seemingly surprised, he asked, "Strange." The enemy ship actually turned? ”

First mate Shen Shouchang glanced at him in surprise and reminded: "My lord! The target of the enemy ships was our troop carriers. If he is allowed to approach and open fire, the future is unimaginable! ”

Fang Boqian snorted coldly: "This official knows, there is no need for you to remind me!" He Guangcheng, the ship over, be sure to stop it! ”

For Shen Shouchang, he is becoming more and more dissatisfied. Do you still need to teach you such common sense? Do you think that there is really a level higher than this official? Joke!

Fang Boqian made up his mind, and he had to clean up this kid when he turned around. is always so big and small, how can you guarantee your prestige in the future? If you can't control your subordinates, you will be laughed at by your colleagues!

The "Jiyuan Ship" turned its head again and cut the enemy's ship course forward with the advantage of its position.

Looking at the "Dongming" again, it seems that he does not pay attention to the incoming enemy ships at all, Yang Haiwei still steadily commands the ships, and continues to fire at a distance of 11,500 meters from the enemy ships!

After the second shot, after about a minute of silence, the third shell whistled out! This time the landing point. It's closer to the target than the last time. The exploding water column could be sprayed directly onto the deck of the Yoshino. Let Tsuboi Hang Sanyi be creepy for a while!

It's so precise! What the hell is going on?

He knows the range of rapid-fire guns used all over the world. It's also clear how powerful it is. The freighter on the other side, when launched, had very little fireworks. The rate of fire of the shells is obviously extremely high! Coupled with such accuracy, the terrible explosive force ...... "Yoshino" only needs to be hit with one shot, and it will be seriously injured!

He didn't know that Yang Haiwei saw that there was still no hit, but his brows furrowed slightly, and he muttered in a low voice: "The artillery is still strict and lacks training." Unfamiliar with the control of modern artillery, it is not easy to get results. ”

The Huai military pipes next to them had already looked straight in their eyes. Jiang Zikang muttered: "My mother! It's really accurate! I heard that the group of guys in Beiyang got the target early when they were performing martial arts, and they missed nine out of ten shots. This guy almost hit the three shots, it's amazing! ”

The rest of the officers nodded. Don't look at them on land, they are not in the same league as the sea. In his spare time, he discussed the navy with a pile of silver, which was all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred. Talking too much, some topics that are ridiculed by lace news, unconsciously know some gossip.

Yang Haiwei was unmoved, keeping his eyes on the movement of the "Yoshino", ensuring that the ship was always at a distance of 10 kilometers, the two diesel engines were fully powered, and the advantages of double oars and double rudder were brought into full play. A slender general cargo ship of 3,000 tons has exerted a maneuvering effect that is not weaker than that of a serious warship of this era.

For a quick hit on an enemy ship, his confidence comes from the stability of the platform and the advancement of technology.

Regardless of the appearance of the current "Dongming" as a mixed passenger and cargo wheel, inside it has a set of optoelectronic targeting and radar fire control systems at the level of the world's seventies and eighties -- although it is a second-hand patchwork version.

The front and rear turrets are equipped with semi-automatic firing commanders and optical rangefinders, and with the main firing command system, they can completely achieve fully automatic remote control firing, or semi-automatic manual control.

The 152mm gun in front looks like the Armstrong rapid-fire gun from a hundred years ago. But inside it is something else entirely! Its re-entry device is no longer a spring, but hydraulic. It's more stable and faster. Its barrel is made of modern naval gun manufacturing technology, forged alloy steel, single-tube hydraulic self-tightening, and surface strengthening treatment. A thick-walled single tube alone is enough to withstand the chamber pressure of modern propellants.

However, in order to ensure the appearance effect, the four hoop sleeves are still strengthened. The bore and bolt are also optimized as needed, so that a gun that has been lengthened to 45 times the diameter can fire up to 752 m/s (armor-piercing) or 837 m/s (grenades, high-explosive shells)!

This led to the firing range of the artillery, which rose in a straight line to more than 19800 meters!

In the use of 47.6kg armor-piercing shells to shoot at close range, it is completely possible to penetrate the wrought iron armor of most contemporary battleships! And its high rate of fire of 8-10 rounds is a nightmare for the target it is aimed at!

The same is true for the 120mm gun in the back, with its high muzzle velocity, the firing range has also jumped to more than 16,000 meters. Combined with the top speed of 16.5 knots brought by two high-power diesel engines, even if you can't fly a kite on a modern warship, at least before the other party approaches you. can play a deadly barrage.

Tsuboi Kozo apparently didn't realize it. The target he wants to deal with. What a weird, terrifying, whale-skinned great white shark!

The maneuver of the "Yoshino" was undoubtedly excellent, and it quickly rushed to the side of the course of the "Tomei". The distance between the two sides has also been shortened to less than 10 kilometers. Seeing that it takes a little more time, it can be reached with the front main gun. But just then, the unexpected happened!

The freighter sailing in the forward direction, the front and rear guns suddenly opened fire together! A shell from the back fell in the distance over the stern of the ship, but a shell from the front. But it accurately hit the left side of its bow!

Rumble!

A dazzling firelight almost blinded Kenzo Tsuboi's eyes! The deck next to the front main gun collapsed, and a terrifying hole appeared in front of you! The seemingly heavy dome armor couldn't stop the piercing of the cannonballs at all, and the surging explosive force was like a heavy hammer smashing on the armored cannon cover!

Countless fragments slammed into the front of the conning tower, and the steel shards mixed in it splashed a large spark! Billowing smoke rose from the bow of the ship, so that, under the severe trembling, Tsuboi Hangsan mistakenly thought that he had been bombarded by a 305mm heavy gun!

"Shot! Shot! ”

The young staff officer in the war room exclaimed. Captain Kawahara wanted to slap them one by one. Staring at the front turret behind the smoke and dust, he found that the whole thing was intact. Safe and sound, mentioning the half-empty heart flickered back down.

But whether it is him or Major General Tsuboi, the faces are very ugly!

The artillery power of the target freighter is beyond imagination! The shooting accuracy is just as beyond imagination!

In recent years, their imitation of the Armstrong gun has been considered extremely good. It can produce a high rate of fire of 7 rounds per minute, which is unique in Asia. The fly in the ointment is that the range is too close. If you keep shooting from 7 kilometers away, the hit rate can reach 5 percent.

But now, the two sides are 10,000 meters away!

Kawahara Yao Dazuo hurriedly ordered the battleship to maneuver to avoid, and sent the damage management over to quickly extinguish the fire and rescue. After making sure that the main gun was not fatally damaged, but the four artillerymen inside were shocked, he strengthened his confidence and ordered: "Turn on the strong pressure ventilation, continue to attack, and prepare for battle!" ”

Distance! Damn the distance! It has to be closer, closer!

Like a wild horse, the Yoshino soared again! She could have reached 23 knots, but now she was still improving, and the waves rising from the bow of the ship were particularly spectacular under the ferocious impact.

This scene stunned the surrounding ships!

Fang Boqian's eyes straightened, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he exclaimed, "It's actually hit!" What kind of cannon is on that ship? ”

Surprised, he thought to himself, "The Japanese are just like that." A big ship, actually injured by a freighter, hum, it's still a superficial cargo, nothing to be afraid of. ”

He made great efforts to command the "Jiyuan Ship" to continue to lean forward, to see that it would be able to enter the range of the main gun, and gave the order to fire!

"Boom!" Smoke billowed from the bow, and two armor-piercing shells splashed a kilometer away from the Yoshino, which looked very energetic.

The corners of Pingjing Hangsan's eyes twitched, and he snorted coldly: "Don't pay attention to him!" It is completely impossible to hit this ship. Keep chasing that freighter! In addition, send a flag message, let the other three ships get close to each other quickly, and be sure to take them down as much as possible! ”

On the "Dongming", Yang Haiwei took a deep look at the speed of the enemy ship measured by the radar, and sighed helplessly. The gap on this basis is really difficult to bridge. However, the Japanese insisted on going their own way, but it was just the right time for him to test the results of his training.

He personally remotely controlled the front and rear turrets, and after a short silence of the two barrels, one thick and one thin, suddenly each fired 3 shells in a row! The ballistics were parallel, straight and steady, and the "Yoshino" in the midst of the wild rush suddenly shook, and a high-explosive grenade smashed the side side, exploding and flying the life-saving boat, and a snorkel exploded into a horn flower!

A 120mm rapid-fire cannon sticking out of the side was blasted down by the empowerment, and all the personnel inside were finished with the artillery! (To be continued......)
