Chapter 430: Armor Piercing! Armor-piercing!
"Sir, the irradiation radars are all destroyed, and we can't guide the ship's guns to attack. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Sir, the helicopter hangar was destroyed, an SH-60B was stuck at the exit of the hangar, and we could not lift helicopters into the air to attack the enemy."
"Sir, the enemy is on the reef 1,500 meters away, but we don't have the weapons to hit anywhere now."
When the first flare went off, the heart of Captain Francis of the 'Larsen' sank to the bottom.
The cost of more than a billion 'Ali. Burke's destroyer is a powerful weapon for the United States to sail all over the world. How many high-tech weapons are concentrated on this ship, how many countries envy it, and how many countries dream of having it!
This is the backbone of the US Navy, the embodiment of the strength of the United States to balance the world, and the confidence of white Westerners to show off their military might. But this kind of weapon of the country was so tempered by a cannon?
What about the Aegis system that monitors the sea? Sorry, that's for air defense drops!
And what about the incomparably powerful Tomahawk cruise missiles? Sorry, that thing can't hit a target that's close at hand.
And what about the sharp and terrible 'standard' anti-aircraft missiles? It's all said that it's an air defense drop!
And what about the anti-submarine helicopter that was overwhelmed? The unlucky one was knocked apart before he left the hangar.
Now the nearly 10,000-ton warship has been disarmed, and only a small number of sailors with rifles have fired indiscriminately in the direction of the artillery fire. It's like a kid shooting a water gun, it's just funny. A few bullets flying randomly can't even deter, but can only show the spirit of American sailors who are not afraid of danger!
Well......, there is no way not to be afraid, where can a ship flee without resistance, can't it be impossible to jump into the sea?
"Captain, what do we do now?" In a critical moment, the entire warship can only count on Captain Francis's decision.
"Hurry up and call for help from the Changi base in Singapore, tell them that we are under attack, and have them send planes to take out that artillery gun immediately." The captain of the ship was already angry, and it was a great shame that a powerful battleship was forced to such a point by a single artillery.
If someone had told him to be careful when he went out today before the shelling, the captain would have blasted him out. Who has the mighty America feared? And now, ...... he will definitely question God, why is this disaster happening? Doesn't God bless America?
However, the captain's call for help was not easy to enforce. A bunch of officers on the bridge cried even more: "Captain, our radar and antennas have been blown up, and we can't contact the Changi base." ”
"Then look for a maritime satellite phone, what about a satellite phone, what about a phone?" The captain is going to be angry, this place not far from the door of his own base has been attacked by someone, and no one will believe it!
But where can I find a satellite phone at this time and a half? Just when the bridge group was sweating profusely, a second flare hung up in the sky. The officers and men of the 'Lassen' were almost desperate, and it seemed that this shelling had not yet been played!
And just now it was an anti-explosive grenade that washed almost all the decks of the ship. Now which damn artillery has actually changed ammunition. It was replaced with armor-piercing shells!
The M46 cannon is a gun that can fire directly at a tank, if necessary. However, since the birth of this artillery, it has not hit a tank at all. But it doesn't matter, the tank can't hit, today there are bigger guys for it to hit - warships.
In fact, compared to tanks, warships are much easier to fight. The target is so big, you can hit it with your eyes closed! The best thing is that modern warships are no better than the battleships, cruisers, destroyers of the WWI and WWII eras, and the current warships are unarmoured. Because no matter how thick the armor-piercing is, it can't prevent the attack of anti-ship missiles, so it's better to save some armor in exchange for higher speed.
So Zhou Qingfeng's first armor-piercing bomb was aimed at the power compartment in the middle of the hull, where four LM-2500 gas turbines were installed. As a result, an armor-piercing bullet easily came in, and a working gas turbine was immediately reimbursed.
The engine room is the key to a warship, and the consequences of shelling in this place are extremely serious. The captain had already ordered the engine room to go at full speed and ask to get through this dangerous strait quickly, but now reimbursing a gas turbine is equivalent to a quarter of the power reduction.
What's even worse is that shells keep coming in one after another, from beginning to end. Zhou Qingfeng aimed at the bow of the 'Lassen', and then desperately loaded and opened fire. One, two, three, four, five, as the warship advanced, a row of holes were punched in the side of the ship.
However, the US officers and men were unable to fight back, nor could they retreat, so they could only rush forward, hoping to rush through this dangerous sea area as soon as possible. And the helmsman in charge of the pilot desperately adjusted the direction of the ship's sailing, trying to get as far away from Baijiao as possible.
It's just that in a crisis situation, where is it said to avoid it? In the chaos, Captain Francis was ruthless and ordered the warship to hide on the other side of the Ocean Princess, to put it bluntly, using the huge cruise ship as a shield.
"Accelerate, accelerate, accelerate without a gas turbine." The captain of the ship, who was constantly being bombarded, no longer cared about any humanitarianism, and now he only wanted to stay away from the terrible artillery on the islands and reefs, and he didn't care if there would be any casualties among civilians.
The 'Lassen' began to accelerate as soon as it was shelled, and the destroyer was so powerful that it soared to more than thirty knots in an instant, quickly closing the distance between it and the Ocean Princess.
But sometimes things backfire, and the more you try to hide, the more you can't dodge. An armor-piercing projectile hit the stern of the Lassen, fired downwards after a collision, and finally got stuck in the stern underwater steering gear.
"Captain, we can't change the course anymore."
"What?"
"Maybe our servos are stuck."
"The servo is stuck and it will give me a rush forward."
"But there's the Ocean Princess ahead of us."
Almost instantly, danger befell the cruise ship that had been watching the incident, and the destroyer rushing up at high speed originally wanted to use the cruise ship as a shield, but before it could maneuver into place, the problem of the steering gear jamming made it crash directly into the Ocean Princess.
It didn't take long for the sharp bow to split the side of the cruise ship, and the destroyer of nearly 10,000 tons inserted itself into the interior of the cruise ship of more than 100,000 tons. After a crackling sound, at least seven or eight layers of the cruise ship's deck were destroyed, and a large number of cabins behind the deck were shattered.
It's over, it's really over, I don't know how many people will die on the cruise. And the stuck 'Lassen' could not go at all, because the captain of the Ocean Princess was afraid of leaking and sinking the ship, so he simply sailed to the coast near the fairway, preparing to run aground.
At this time, Zhou Qingfeng was also tired from the continuous shelling of the short-term high-intensity shelling, he stopped shelling the 'Lassen', but took his own kit, staggered off the helicopter platform on the island and reef, and walked towards the motorboat he was driving.
"Bastard, you know how good Lao Tzu is, right? If you dare to rob me of my money, I will kill you! Zhou Qingfeng started the motorboat hatefully, and the roar of the engine took him towards the destroyer 'Lassen' that was stuck on the Ocean Princess.
Landing on the warship, I snatched the money back! (To be continued.) )
