Chapter 429: The Raging Grenade
Zhou Qingfeng waited for about half an hour at Baijiao before he saw the majestic Ocean Princess slowly sailing in front of him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and about 500 meters behind is the Aegis destroyer 'Lassen' accompanying the voyage.
The scene in front of him once appeared repeatedly in Zhou Qingfeng's live-fire drills, and it can even be said to be the best situation. Due to the limited width of the channel, the Lassen is only 1,500 meters away from White Reef. It takes less than two seconds for the shell to hit the target.
Seeing that the distance was appropriate, Zhou Qingfeng put on earplugs for himself and pulled the gun rope in his hand heavily. One hundred and thirty mm guns exploded, and the muzzles of the guns at night lit up with dazzling flames. The thick barrels of the guns sat down sharply, and the platforms on which the guns were placed were shaken.
A flare flew out of the high muzzle, and Zhou Qingfeng didn't even have time to see the effect. He immediately opened the bolt, and the hot shell was pulled out, followed by an anti-explosive grenade. With the same clang, the bolt closes and goes into standby.
Next, Zhou Qingfeng quickly shook the high and low machine on the gun carriage to lower the gun muzzle, followed by the direction machine to point the gun muzzle to the destroyer's bridge position.
At this time, the flare is lit, and the parachute is opened at an altitude of about 2,000 meters and slowly descends, and it will take several minutes to reach the surface of the sea at this altitude. Under the bright field of vision, Zhou Qingfeng fine-tuned the muzzle of the gun, grasped the amount of advance, and locked on the vital fire control radars above the bridge of the warship through the direct sight on the gun body.
Inside the bridge, Captain Francis was chatting with the officer on duty. He would have to wait inside the bridge because there was a team of reporters arriving in Singapore by helicopter to cover tonight's events. The U.S. government is very concerned about how it has the right to speak.
And when the cannon sounded, the captain was actually chatting happily with his subordinates, and he didn't hear any movement outside. It was only when the flares, as bright as day, hung high in the sky that he sensed something was wrong, "What's going on?" ”
There were a lot of officers in the bridge, and no one could figure out what was going on? Everyone just stared blankly at the sky, and at first everyone thought it was the searchlight of a police helicopter - but the brightness and range of this searchlight were too great!
And immediately after that, the captain knew what had happened to him -- a 130-millimeter anti-explosive grenade accurately hit the top of the bridge, where the antennas and radar equipment of the whole ship were most concentrated, and it was also a critical location.
The first anti-mortitude grenade hit the target, hitting an SPG-62 irradiation radar impartially. After the shell exploded, the exploding shrapnel swept through a large number of antennas and radomes around it, and most of the fire control of the "Lassen" was wiped out at once.
The thunderous explosion frightened everyone on the bridge to the point where they could barely stand on their feet, and Captain Francis shuddered and fell to the floor. He first looked blankly at the deformed bridge ceiling, and then shouted bitterly: "The enemy attacked, the whole ship entered a combat state, and we were attacked." ”
As soon as the shout sounded, the second anti-explosive grenade hit again. The antennas and radars of the pile of electronic equipment above the bridge were instantly blown apart and flew around, and what was finally left behind became crooked and black.
The normal rate of fire of the M-46 cannon was six to eight rounds per minute, but that was the speed at which the nine-man gun crew worked skillfully. Now Zhou Qingfeng is responsible for the work of the entire artillery group alone, and his strength and speed are extremely perverted, and he even achieves five rounds per minute.
The speed of the ship is slow relative to the flight speed of the shells. Zhou Qingfeng's first three shells barely adjusted the position of the muzzle, and hit the bridge from above to the back of the bridge, and even the mast twisted and tilted to one side in the explosion. Fragile electronics have been swept away.
......, the warship is now blind, and it is completely blind to targets at close range. The next step was to completely cut off the opponent's ability to fight back, and Zhou Qingfeng continued to load and kill explosive grenades, this time targeting the helicopter hangar at the stern of the ship.
In fact, Zhou Qingfeng continued to fire cannons, and the strong muzzle flame was extremely conspicuous even if it was separated by a distance of 1.5 kilometers. The crew of the Lassen is aware that their warship is under attack, and everyone is preparing to fight back.
In addition to the 127 mm caliber naval gun in the bow of the 'Lassen', the only thing that can react quickly and pose a threat to Zhou Qingfeng is the two SH-60B helicopters in the helicopter hangar at the stern.
The SH-60B is primarily a carrier-based helicopter for anti-submarine purposes, but it is also equipped with a 7.62 mm machine gun. Originally, a few sailors were still talking about the impossibility of being attacked at the stern of the ship, but the ruthless man who slapped him in the face immediately came.
"Push the helicopter out and take off, take out that firing point." The officers hurried out, and the helicopter pilots scrambled to climb into the cabin. Several sailors were about to go up to help, but then an anti-explosive grenade hit the helicopter hangar.
The thin helicopter hangar had no armor at all, and the anti-explosive grenade easily blew open the shell of the hangar, and the power of several kilograms of explosives raged wildly in the hangar. After the explosion, a large hole was broken in one side of the hangar, several ground crew members pushing the helicopter fell in a pool of blood, and the fuselage of the SH-60B was crooked, and there were more holes in the fuselage with a large number of shrapnel penetrations.
The gurgling of jet fuel leaking out of the broken fuel tank scared the surviving flight officer to death, "Push it into the sea, push it into the sea, it could explode at any moment." ”
If there is any unique skill of the US imperialist navy, it must not be a powerful carrier-based aircraft, or a domineering and arrogant anti-aircraft missile, but an obscure damage management team.
Since the beginning of World War II, the US Navy has been bombed in various ways, not only by the enemy, but even by itself. As soon as a dangerous situation occurs, a damage management team immediately rushes out to rescue.
Now that an SH-60B helicopter has penetrated its fuel tank, the most important thing is not how to rescue it, but simply push it into the sea, lest it suddenly explode and bury everyone with it.
But it is extremely dangerous to rescue in this situation, because Zhou Qingfeng's artillery will not stop. When he saw that the helicopter's hangar had a big hole, he simply aimed at that place and bombarded it until it was completely destroyed.
So when the damage management team did their best to push the damaged SH-60B out of the hangar, it was hit again by a kill grenade. The explosion occurred on the side of the fuselage, and the damage management team that rushed to the rescue immediately suffered heavy casualties, and the most important thing was that the helicopter completely broke down, completely blocking the hangar, and even blocking the possibility of another SH-60B leaving the hangar.
Without fire control radars and helicopters, naval guns with fully automatic firing have become ornaments, and the 'Sea Sparrow' short-range anti-aircraft missiles cannot see their targets. The only thing that could pose a threat to Zhou Qingfeng now was the two 25mm cannons and four 50-caliber machine guns on the ship.
Finally, some people ran to the gun position to shoot, but at a distance of more than 1,000 meters, even if there were infrared night vision devices, even if there were sights, the machine guns and machine guns that were reliably operated manually were basically inaccurate.
Moreover, Zhou Qingfeng's anti-explosive grenades followed, blowing up these machine guns and machine guns that might threaten him.
When the first flares fell, the last rays of light were reflected on the disarmed destroyer USS Lassen. The whole ship was stunned and stupid by this sudden attack. This is the U.S. Navy, and it's been bullied so that it's powerless.
And this was not the end, followed by another boom, and the second flare was fired into the sky again. (To be continued.) )
