760 West Wind Flame (6)

Chang Yuchun, like a shuttle, the cold and sharp bow crashed through the sea, forming two white waves on both sides of the hull, and it galloped towards the "dark clouds" in the sky at a speed of 33 knots, as if it had become a fairy flying on the sea. ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※

Even after more than 2 years of war, the Weiqing-class is still a good destroyer in the world, and although the navy has prepared the Chongming Island class in small batches, it still can't change the situation of the Weiqing-class in the ocean.

Inside the bridge, the captain Wang Ke's face was full of nervousness, including in the Octave Strait, two groups of enemies have been found so far, but without exception, they are all fake, this is the third target in front of him, can he have good luck this time?

"How much longer?"

"In 10 minutes more, you can get close to the observation distance of 23,000 meters......."

"At 11 o'clock, 6 enemy planes!"

Before the captain could finish speaking, a scream came from outside the deck, and the shout made the sea elf suddenly turn into a bared hedgehog, a twin 25 mm rapid-fire gun and a meter-heavy machine gun, and a twin 130 mm high-level dual-purpose gun in the bow and stern, all turned almost simultaneously, aiming at a few small black dots in the distance.

"It's really a New Year's greeting for the cat, our plane didn't come, so fucking let the British ghost practice first!"

Zhu Gui rolled up his sleeves and scolded and yelled, in addition to confronting the dragon wings in the exercises over the years, he had forgotten that the main responsibility of his twin machine gun was air defense.

Compared with the 37mm cannon, the 25mm cannon improved from the aviation cannon is small in size, speed, and uses a belt to feed the ammunition, which can maintain the fire intensity for a long time.

"Boom......." The 130 mm twin high-level guns in the bow were the first to fire, the semi-enclosed turret filled with smoke, and the whistling muzzle wind constantly brought hot flames, making the already hot air even more scorching.

"5000 meters!"

"Click."

Almost at the same time, the two loaders stuck ammunition boxes with the words 5,000 meters written on them on both sides of the cannon, and the small-caliber delayed fuse shells were set in advance on the shore, because the speed of the small-mouth cannon and the speed of the aircraft were very high, so it was impossible to install them on the ship.

After feeling that the steel helmet was slapped by someone, Zhu Gui immediately pressed a Schott 184 into the sight, and pulled the trigger with his fingers.

"Knock knock knock ......." The unique sound of artillery bombardment sounded, the two cannon barrels retracted and flowed non-stop, and the long cannon flame reflected on Zhu Gui's face, making him look particularly hideous.

The yellow-orange shells kept jumping out of the receiver, and in the blink of an eye, the turret seemed to be covered with a brass floor.

Hundreds of black smoke balls exploded in the sky, and after the delayed shells exploded, the steel balls and fragments filled inside could form a kill group with a radius of more than ten meters, not to mention the old wooden aircraft like the Schott 184, even if it was the Empire's own dragon teeth and night owls, they would either be killed or injured if they were hit by it.

"Birdman, come on!"

"Disturb grandpa for the New Year, you!"

Zhu Gui is a typical person who is crazy, the more crazy he is at this time, the two cannons seem to come to life in his hands, and he constantly sprays shells at the enemy plane. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Learning Network)

The mobility and survivability of the SCHOTT 184 seaplane was not strong in the first place, and at this time it was hung with a 430-kilogram 343-mm light torpedo, which simply could not avoid so many shells.

"Boom."

The fragment coincidentally hit the thunder head under the belly of the plane, and the 30 kilograms ** instantly turned into a ball of flames, swallowing the fighter and the pilot into it.

"Well done." The loader clenched his fist hard and shouted excitedly. Zhu Gui also twisted his sore neck very proudly, and was just about to look for the second prey, when the observer shouted again in panic: "Mom, 11 o'clock, 22!" ”

"I'm grass!"

A large black dot appeared on the horizon, making Zhu Gui and the gunners couldn't help but wave: "Grandma, what the hell is this world!" Where did the British get so many planes! ”

"Fire! Fire at full speed! ”

"Cannonballs, give me cannonballs!"

"Be careful, they're going to drop bombs!"

"Left full rudder!"

Inside the bridge, seeing a black spot flashing under the belly of a Schott-184 plane that had broken through the air defense network, the captain Wang Ke immediately saw the right time to turn the rudder, and the deck of the destroyer tilted suddenly, forming a huge arc on the sea surface.

"Fuck, where did the Brit get so many planes! Did we really run into the main force? ”

The destroyer dodged left and right, and the track behind it was like a huge white snake that was twisting and turning, and the navigator himself mastered it while dodging the torpedoes while constantly scolding.

"Not necessarily, we still need to confirm!" Wang Ke snorted, and his heart was also very nervous, because he knew that he had to do his best to confirm whether it was the Indian Grand Fleet under the dark clouds, and if he sent a telegram to Long Yi to come over, it would only delay time in vain!

"On the left, three planes have come around!"

"Stop it, stop them! It's time to drop a bomb! ”

"Knock knock knock ......."

"Killed, always hit, damn it! Torpedo, it dropped the torpedo! ”

"Be careful!"

In Zhu Gui's shouting, the hit Schott-184 actually dropped a torpedo at the moment before it was planted, and the swarthy torpedo immediately pulled out a white line and rushed towards the destroyer after entering the water.

Rumble!

With a loud bang, the Chang Yuchun, which rushed left and right, still did not dodge, and the hull of the ship of more than 2,000 tons seemed to have been kicked hard, and the stern of the port side of the ship suddenly shook, and the officers and men were staggered, and the two portholes on the left side of the bridge were instantly shattered and burst open, injuring several officers and men on the bridge who were caught off guard.

Wang Ke didn't have time to care about the injured, so he grabbed the phone and shouted, "All departments, report the damage." ”

"The damage management report shows that multiple compartments in the stern of the ship are flooded, and they are trying to plug the leak ......."

"The ship's gun turret reports that the rotator is stuck and is being repaired ......."

"The deck reported that the two brothers were shaken into the water and are being rescued."

"The power compartment reported that the left spindle made an abnormal noise, requesting a shutdown to check ......."

"Turn off the left console and keep me back at any time." Wang Ke looked around and saw that several people were scratched by the glass, and hurriedly asked, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

"It's alright, Captain."

"Bastard." Wang Ke grabbed the binoculars outside the cabin door and shouted, "Guns, concentrate your firepower to kill them." Mast, can you determine how many capital ships ?! ”

"No, it's too far away to see clearly, you have to get closer!

"it, I've lost my speed!" Seeing that he had been torpedoed, and still couldn't determine whether it was the enemy's main force under the "dark clouds" on the horizon, Wang Ke's eyes were red, but he had no choice but to shout: "Contact the nearby ships and let them come over!" ”

"Yes!"

After losing an axle, Chang Yuchun suddenly fell into a crisis, Zhu Guizhong sat up straight, everyone knew that they had to work hard at this moment, otherwise they would wait for a lot of torpedoes to come over, not to mention a small destroyer, even a light patrol would be extremely dangerous.

"The plane, it's our plane!"

Just as he was about to die, a hummingbird reconnaissance plane in the distance quickly approached.

"Captain, the destroyer is wounded."

"Damn, on the left, an American cruiser is rushing over, inform the destroyer to get ready!"

"It's the main force of the Grand Fleet, it's sure it's the main force!"

"Fuck, that's great! Go operate the machine guns, notify the fleet and bases, catch them! Jiang Qixiong looked at the huge formation below, his whole body trembled with excitement, and the only self-defense machine gun on the hummingbird began to hiss, although it was not a fighter, it still had the speed and circling advantage to deal with the bulky Schott 184 seaplane.

"General." Inside the bridge of the Malaya, the staff officer pointed to the hummingbird that appeared over the battlefield and shouted: "It is a Chinese reconnaissance plane, and they are strafing our seaplane!" ”

Campbell quickly raised his head and looked at the hovering hummingbird, just a destroyer may not be a big problem, so far away he may not be able to determine himself by blocking it with an airplane, but the plane can easily see itself clearly and bring the enemy's aircraft carrier! He was conceited, and he did not dare to face the rotation of nearly 100 torpedo attack planes, not to mention that it was a breakthrough now, no matter if the battleship was hit by a torpedo and lost its speed, it would mean that it would completely lose the possibility of leaving!

"Full left rudder, get out of here at full speed!"

"Inform the Y1 and Y2 formations to flank the south at full speed."

"Order the cruisers and destroyers to disperse and protect the main battleships as planned." Campbell looked up at the sky, and said to Cameron and the staff officers with a serious expression: "Let the plane expand the search area."

It's already afternoon, and I don't know they're there, but they only have one more chance, so I need everyone to do their job and stick to their posts! In any case, the capital ship must be protected until night! ”

"Raise the battle flag." Campbell's eyes swept and said coldly: "Tell everyone, it's up to them whether we can return home alive!" ”

"Yes, General!"

At the same time that Chang Yuchun discovered the Indian Grand Fleet, it was already a tense moment in the bridge of the Xichu, and the staff officers and officers were calculating over and over again around the charts.

"What's the distance?"

"To the southeast, 120 nautical miles from us."

"Can you be sure of the Chang Yu Chun number?"

"Not yet, it's too far away to tell how many ships there are on the other side, but the destroyer said it was bombed by planes, at least 30 or so Schott-184 seaplanes."

"Commander, do you want to ......." The staff officer turned his head and looked at Gu Junhuo and said.

Gu Junhuo shook his head, dozens of planes do not mean that they are the main force, intelligence shows that when attacking Gapo, Britain transported at least 120 Schott 184 seaplanes that can carry torpedoes to India.

For this breakthrough, Campbell will definitely give all his strength, and the seaplane does not need to take off on the deck, and the transport ship carries a lot of aspects, so it must be confirmed once!

The reason why it is necessary to confirm it is because it is already afternoon, and it will take almost 2 hours to fly 170 nautical miles from the Dragon's Tooth attack plane, and even if he picks up the group of planes returning from completing the mission at full speed of 30 knots, it will take more than 3 hours to go back and forth, and if this is another suspicious formation arranged by Campbell, it means that even if the main force of the Indian Grand Fleet is found, there will be no way to launch another wave of attacks during the day today.

"I have already asked the nearby 73rd Patrol Detachment to support, and the reconnaissance plane has also departed, I believe it is very certain." Zhou Cheng handed a cigarette to Gu Junhuo, thought for a while and said, "Why don't you ...... and send half of the attack planes over?" ”

"No, I can't. We don't have many planes, and they can't form a fist when they spread out, so it's better to wait a little longer...... Gu Junhuo immediately waved his hand: "Order the 4 driving patrol detachments to rush there at full speed, ready for night ...... at any time." ”

"General, the Chang Yuchun reported that the port side of the stern was hit by a torpedo and lost a main engine."

"Damn, hasn't the reconnaissance plane arrived yet?"

"It's here, the plane has arrived ....... Sir, the Gandao Base Hawkeye 3 arrived in the skies, and they reported the discovery of at least 6 capital battleships, as well as ....... ”

"Full speed!" Without waiting for the staff officer to finish speaking, Gu Junhuo jumped up violently and grabbed the aircraft carrier pilot: "Remember my words, don't ask for sinking, be sure to hurt more!" ”

"Yes, General."

"All of them, 270 azimuth, attack!"
