Chapter 132: Survived?
The waters around the Japanese landing site at the entrance of the garden were filled with warships of the Japanese Navy. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Since the "Naniwa" was used by the First Volunteer Brigade to land the fighters with a very strange plane that can hover in the air, and finally blew up and sank the warship, the commander of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, Yuhiro Ito, has ordered the Japanese ship not to act alone.
The Japanese intended to crack this tactic that they had never seen before, by firing at the boarders of the 1st Volunteer Brigade from nearby ships. Shooting at one's own warship will of course injure one's own soldiers and the warship, but it is better than having the deck controlled by a small number of First Volunteer Brigade personnel and sinking the warship.
Of course, increasing the number of marines on the warships was also one of the ways the Japanese coped, and the wealthy Japanese navy equipped the marines on the ships with rifles with bomb bays and some revolvers.
While the Army's red deer were still debating whether it was necessary to use repeating weapons, the Japanese Navy had already sent orders to Europe for the purchase of Maxim machine guns. They hoped to install this weapon in a suitable position on the warship, which would have a longer lasting firepower than the Gatling gun, in order to prevent the tragedy of the "Naniwa" being blown up by the enemy on board the ship again.
At this time, the news of the breakdown of negotiations between the First Volunteer Brigade and the Japanese had not yet come, and although the depressed mood brought about by the bad news of the sinking of the "Naniwa" had not yet dissipated, the Japanese Navy, from officers to sailors, had the idea that since the First Volunteer Brigade had chosen to openly admit to blowing up the "Naniwa" and negotiating with the Japanese, it would not launch any more attacks on these Japanese warships cruising in the waters near Liaodong in the short term.
Therefore, despite the strict prohibition of single-ship operations and the increase in the number of marines on the ships, the officers and sailors of the Japanese Navy agreed that these measures were in response to future battles, and did not think that the attack on the Japanese warships by the 1st Volunteer Brigade was imminent.
After receiving the news of the breakdown of negotiations from MissFox from Fuzhou Avenue, the super hind did not delay for a moment and immediately took off to the Yellow Sea near Huayuankou. This time, they did not have a specific target to kill, as long as Li Hongzhang hunted the warship on the order, they would hit whoever they caught, and beat them directly until they sank.
"The Japanese frigate Fuso was discovered, which was about ten nautical miles from the coastline, and was accompanying the Japanese Tsukushi formation." The Super Hind soon caught another unlucky egg.
"That's it, you can time the attack for yourselves, and make sure that the Fuso won't run aground on the beach after being injured and get out of danger." Zhao Yi handed over the initiative to the Super Hind crew at the scene.
The Super Hind lowered its flight altitude and first made a detour to the stern of the "Fuso", ready to attack.
Boom, boom, boom, Super Hind fired 57mm rockets at the superstructure of the "Fuso" at a very long interval. Although the Super Hind mission carried four nests of cluster rockets and launched a rapid salvo at the Fuso, which would improve the hit rate and strike effect, the pilots abandoned the risky approach.
Launching a large number of rockets in a short period of time will produce a large amount of tail flame exhaust gas around the helicopter, and if the helicopter engine inhales these exhaust gases, it is very likely to cause the engine to stop and fail, resulting in a crash.
Since there were no anti-aircraft weapons in this era, the Super Hind did not have to risk the engine inhaling too much exhaust gases to fire a rocket salvo to increase the hit rate, and the pilot used a "stupid method" to achieve this effect, that is, the closer you go, the more accurate the shot.
How close does the Super Hind pilot have to be? It was so close that it was almost visible to see the frightened faces of the sailors on the deck of the "Fuso".
Although the captain of the "Fuso" was Arai Yougong who was not mentally prepared for the helicopter suddenly approaching his own ship at this time, he still quickly issued an order to all the crew to defend against the helicopter attack according to the plan.
At this time, there were bunkers built with sandbags on the fore and aft decks of the "Fuso", and the sailors got the rifles distributed by the officers and began to rush into the bunkers. The muzzles of rifles also protrude from the windows and hatches of the superstructures of some warships. The Japanese shoot at the approaching Super Hind with their rifles, and then the eggs, those 11mm round-tipped rifle rounds are no threat to the Super Hinds, and the Battlefield Poison Milk is actually a helicopter gunship, okay, is it really okay for you to shoot it with a rifle like this?
The Japanese were prepared to deal with the helicopter absolutes fighters, but this time the crossing crowd did not intend to play like this, they just kept attacking the semi-open turrets of the "Fuso" and the sailors on the deck, and they had no intention of abseiling the fighters at all.
When the Super Hind sees a sailor appearing, she approaches and shoots people with a 23mm cannon, and when there is no living person in sight, she slightly distances herself and attacks the buildings and turrets on the deck of the ship with rockets.
It didn't take long for the Super Hind to make the "Fuso" smoke and fire, of course, there was not much ammunition piled up in the turret, and even if the ammunition was killed by an attack, it did not cause substantial damage to the structure of the hull. Arai insisted that as long as the steel dragonfly was not allowed to send personnel to the "Fuso" to seize control of the ship, such a fire would soon be under control.
The steel dragonfly attacked for a few moments, and finally turned away. Presumably the ammunition is running out, and if you want to shake the "Fuso" with such a small body, hmph, as long as I can't hold on and don't let you drop the fighters, you can only set fire to my superstructure. Without access to the important compartments inside the ship, you are helpless against the heavily armored warships of the Imperial Japan. Although the "Fuso" caught fire in many places, the captain Arai Yugong still found a very good reason to boost his courage.
Although he thought that this steel dragonfly would not be able to sink the "Fuso", Arai Yugong could not let the superstructure burn like this, and when the super hind turned around and flew away, he immediately issued an order for all the personnel to cooperate with the management damage to the deck to extinguish the fire.
The super hind, which had just flown away, immediately turned around at this time and opened fire on the sailors of the "Fuso" who rushed to the deck to extinguish the fire. Rockets, 23mm high-explosive grenades, and small aerial bombs were smashed on the "Fuso" one after another, and the casualty figures on the "Fuso" were constantly being refreshed.
The battered sailors had to give up fighting the fire and take refuge in the ship's holds, relying on the ship's thicker armor to avoid the attack. Finally the terrible steel dragonfly flew away, this time literally, completely out of sight, on the surface of the sea.
The sailors, driven out of the cabin by the officers, began to put out the fire and rescue the wounded crew. Arai Yugong found out that the crew had just rushed to the deck to prevent the steel dragonfly from sending people to the "Fuso" and fighting the fire. They were all fiercely attacked, and now less than half of the people on the "Fuso" could move, and their management damage was basically hung up.
It doesn't matter anymore, the "Fuso" survived, the 1st Volunteer Brigade failed to seize control of the ship's deck as expected, and we won! As long as the warship is still in personnel, we can replenish it, Arai Yougong thought.
However, did the "Fuso" really survive? The Super Hind, which is carrying 9M120 anti-tank missiles at the airfield in the green paint area, is not convinced, and the battle is not over yet.
