Chapter 935: The First Battle of the Naval Battle

At the beginning of the naval battle, the fierce man waved his hand at the moment when the opponent's battleship moved, and ordered: "Thirty knots, shoot quickly!" ”

With his command, the battleship stopped firing a salvo, spitting fireballs with a boom, and the speed began to pick up.

The Japanese Mochizuki was the flagship, and Captain Yoshikazu Sato ordered the battleship to approach at full speed without firing a cannon from 10,000 meters away.

This will be the caliber of the Japanese destroyer artillery is still 45 times, that is, 155 caliber, the firing range of seven to eight thousand meters is the most suitable, and they are all carrying torpedoes, too far away, it is difficult to rely on shells alone, that is, the caliber of the artillery is too small, although the range is long enough, but not fatal.

Seeing the momentum of the Japanese warships, how could the fierce son not know their intentions?

Want to get closer?!

He ordered again: "Thirty-five knots, shoot quickly!" ”

With his order, the battleship increased its speed again, always maintaining the angle of seizing the T-position, so that the Japanese warship could not run into the bow of the battleship here, and it was difficult to form a decisive situation.

He is a training soldier, how can he let the decisive battle appear?

Rapid firing, the main and secondary guns roared in turn, and in the loud roar, clusters of flames continued to erupt, and the sea was soon filled with gunsmoke.

The artillery bombardment here was controlled by radar, and the accuracy of the shooting did not weaken because of the movement, and the water column continued to rise around several Japanese warships, and the Japanese soldiers who were bombed were also terrified.

"Yaga!! How can they shoot so accurately!?? ”

Kawa Sato looked at the water column in front of and behind the battleship, and was shocked, and then gave the order to open the cannonball, trying to interfere with the speed of the opponent with cannonballs and release torpedoes closely.

Balls of fireball erupted from the Japanese warships, and one after another shells flew towards the battleship 10,000 meters away, and exploded columns of water at a distance of two or three hundred meters from the battleship. The accuracy is too far behind.

And the shells on this side exploded on the left and right of the battleship, and the accuracy was enough, it was just luck.

also bought and damaged, and the ten battleships of Mengzi were almost as if they were being chased by the Japanese army, and the speed became faster and faster, so that the Japanese shells fell behind one after another and were useless.

Three minutes after the shelling. A few loud bangs rose on the surface of the sea, and a Japanese frigate was the first to be hit, and two shells drilled into the boiler room and ammunition compartment successively, and the violent explosion instantly tore apart the battleship, and the moment a black and red mushroom cloud rose, the battleship was torn apart, and it disappeared in the fire without rain.

Immediately after that, a torpedo boat was torpedoed by a shell, and a ball of orange flames burst out. The battleship was stunned, and then a fire broke out, and before the Japanese troops on the battleship could react from the huge earthquake, the explosion of another torpedo completely scrapped him.

Rumble!

The slowed torpedo boat sank sharply, and then sank to the bottom of the sea with flames, never to bounce again.

Two battleships were hit in a row, and Yoshiwa Sato was furious, roaring and giving the order to open fire.

But their speed was thirty-seven knots at most. It is impossible to fire a cannon at all at full speed, that is, the speed of thirty-two and three knots. It was simply impossible to shoot at thirty-five knots, and the advance warship was still increasing its speed.

The artillery battle was carried out at this point, and it was completely one-sided, they did not hit a single shot, but several battleships were shelled and damaged to varying degrees. It's just not fatal.

A cannonball from the Mochizuki hit the island, and the excellent armor-piercing ability of the armor-piercing shell allowed the running An to pass through the island, and exploded on the surface of the sea on the side of the ship, a huge hole was formed in the explosion, and the sea water poured into it frantically.

"Replace the flagship!! Such as the moon number is in charge of command!! ”

Speed plummets. Without the slightest hesitation, Yoshiwa Sato gave the order to lower the flag of the flagship.

Just as he was giving the order, the Mochizuki shook suddenly, and a loud bang followed, and the battleship, which had been slowing down, was unlucky enough to be shot, and a cannonball did not fall into the sea dozens of meters away from the left side of the battleship, but relied on the tension of the sea water to fire flat again, and drilled straight into the side of the Mochizuki, exploding near the No. 1 ammunition compartment.

The violent explosion overturned Yoshiwa Sato in the command tower, hit his head on the table, dizzy, his eyes went dark, and he fainted happily.

His battleship was unlucky, but he was lucky. At the same time as he arrived, an even more violent explosion came, and the Mochizuki sank violently, and then the flames gushed out in all directions, and as the fire rose, the bow of the ship broke off a third of the battleship, and under the impetus of the speed of the voyage, its head plunged into the sea, and as the fire rose, splashed and disappeared.

Yoshiwa Sato doesn't have to be afraid, this is his luck, and the Japanese soldiers who are still alive on the station are desperately trying to leave the cabin in the huge earthquake, and those who are not dizzy are all heartbroken, but the struggle is futile, and the silence of the battleship is not counted in minutes, but in seconds.

As soon as the bow of the ship plunged into the seawater, the position of the rear half of the fracture was erected high, and then the stern of the ship pierced straight down, allowing the Japanese soldiers in the cabin or to scream in horror, rolling like a ball, standing upright, posing, and quickly sinking to the bottom of the sea, with those Japanese soldiers who were desperately struggling after the sea water poured in, and plunged to the bottom of the sea without hesitation.

The disappearance of this period drove the Japanese army crazy, whether it was the navy or the army, and the surrender of the Japanese army was rare, except under certain circumstances. This will make their warships still have combat effectiveness, and naturally they will not flee the battlefield because of the disappearance of the flagship.

On the Ruyue, Kawada Yoshitoshi's eyes were blood-red, and he shouted to raise the flag and take over the flagship, and at the same time ordered to chase and fight to the death, approaching and torpedoing these British battleships that had seen the flag clearly to the bottom of the sea.

Fierce did not get carried away by sinking a few battleships, and in his excitement he ordered to maintain the speed of the voyage and continue to shoot rapidly.

As a result of the shelling, three more of the four torpedo boats, two more destroyers and one more frigate. The frigate and destroyer were each shelled, but the damage was not great, but the torpedo boats were small and fast, except for one that exploded and sank, the other three were still intact.

At the command, the three torpedo boats accelerated sharply, quickly rushed out of the pursuit line at a speed of thirty-five knots and still accelerating, tried to get closer, and then sank the enemy ship with torpedoes.

How could the fierce son give them a chance? Seeing three approaching torpedo boats, he again ordered: "Hit the fire and sink the approaching torpedo boats!" ”

Fire control radar, the rotation of the turret is automatic, and the aiming of Zhuyuan is radar, which has almost reached the level of automation, and against the thin-skinned torpedo boats, not to mention the 200 caliber main gun on the battleship, it is the 127 caliber secondary gun, and ordinary high-explosive shells can tear through its armor.

Sure enough, the dense shells flew towards the torpedo boats that came out of the column, and hundreds of shells fell one after another, making this suicidal charge so fragile that it didn't even have a chance to rush out of a distance of a nautical mile, and it was surrounded by shells and exploded on the torpedo boats with a bang.

One by one, the high-explosive shells tore open all the protrusions on the boat, and the torpedo tubes were hit one after another, followed by a loud bang, and the explosive force generated by the detonation of the torpedoes made the three torpedo boats not even last a minute, and they were blown up one after another, and the bones were gone.

"Sample!"

Mengzi underestimated in the cheers of the crew, only two rounds of shells, and before the third round was fired, the three torpedo boats flew one after another, and it can be said that they really couldn't help fighting.

Raising his head and looking at the two destroyers and one frigate that were still chasing, the fierce man did not despise them. Knowing that he was invincible, he still rushed forward bravely, although he was a little stupid, but the spirit of the soldiers was still commendable.

This is what it means to die standing rather than to live on your knees.

I'd rather die than surrender, the Chinese Navy also has it!

Mengzi took a deep breath, and then ordered: "Armor-piercing shells, lock on the battleship separately, shoot rapidly!" ”

On the chasing Ruyue, Kawada Yoshitoshi had already taken off his hat, with a strip of white cloth wrapped around his forehead, pointing to the battleship in the distance and roaring: "Catch up!" Sink these British pigs!! ”

His roar did not increase the strength of the battleship, and the speed of the battleship was like that, not even thirty-five knots, but was pulled farther and farther away. And the opponent is always deflected to the hull of the ship, most of the side is aimed at them, and the main and secondary guns can fire. And they, only the single-barreled main gun can fire, and the output of firepower is judged.

It's not that Kawada Yoshitoshi doesn't know how to take a detour, he is a veteran, and he has already seen that the opponent's speed has not yet reached the limit, that is to say, he has no chance to get out of the battle first and find another fighter, and the other party will not give him a chance at all. And more than a dozen troop carriers and more than two dozen freighters in the back, they ran away, and the freighter and the troop carrier were not sunk by the other side like paper paste?

This is also the reason for desperately staying alive, if you can't fight, you can't escape, you can't escape, then, the only thing you can do is to fight to the death, maybe troop carriers and freighters still have a chance to get close to the coast, so that they don't all die at the bottom of the sea.

But he didn't know that at this time, the troop carriers and freighters had been surrounded by another fleet that had arrived, and there was definitely no hope of escape.

His desperate efforts did not make the fierce man soft, and the battleship locked on to the target, which was convenient to fight, and he didn't care how many ships dealt with one.

Less than two minutes after the shelling began, four rounds of shells flew out, and the Ruyue exploded violently, and four shells hit the Ruyue one after another, the chimney one was the lightest, but the remaining three, one went into the boiler room, one into the stern, and one tore a big hole in the side waterline.

The steam instantly cooked the Japanese troops in the boiler room, and the madness spread in all directions. The propeller shaft in the stern of the ship was shaken off the bearing seat by the explosion, causing the propeller shaft to twist and lose its ability to transmit. The large hole in the side of the side let the sea water pour into it frantically by tons, so that the battleship that had begun to glide slowly tilted.

The other destroyer and frigate were not much better, at the moment when Ruyue was shot, they were also hit by several armor-piercing shells, in the flames rising, the fire spread rapidly, in the deceleration of Ruyue, successively hit a few more shells, but still lucky to be strong, not hit the fatal point, but the fire forced the crew to have begun to jump into the sea, and the firefighters were gone.
