Chapter 592: A Counterattack from the West (6)
Before the lookout could exclaim, a huge explosion exploded in the boiler room, followed by an even more violent explosion, that is, the boiler room was detonated, and the huge hull of Charlie's flagship was blown up on the sea surface by the violent explosion, and the waves and flames erupted from every passage and porthole, and countless soldiers were engulfed by the high temperature steam and fire before they could find a single scream!
That is the Eagle Strike 83 missile launched by the 022 missile boat, under the guidance of the real-time data of the rune calibration of the Tai'an Jushi, the Eagle Strike missile crossed more than 200 kilometers of sea surface, flying quickly, of course, at such a long distance, the data link of the 022 missile boat has been unable to provide the latest coordinates for the missile, but when entering the end of the attack, the head combat radar of the Eagle Strike missile was automatically turned on, the target was found, and the flagship of the Western Fleet, which had the largest outline, was found, and plunged headlong. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The warhead of the YJM missile is equipped with 200 kg of high-performance explosives, a semi-armor-piercing warhead, and a time-delay fuse, which are not comparable to ordinary armor-piercing shells, not to mention that the computer in the missile automatically avoids the thicker part of the armor belt, but aims at the chimney with obvious infrared animals and pierces it, which is the weakest part of the whole ship!
It's no wonder that Charlie's flagship was hit by only one missile, and it exploded like a volcanic eruption.
Uqing rushed towards the enemy fleet with the determination to die, and his flagship kept charging forward, attracting the most enemy fire, at this time, several turrets were damaged, the tail propeller was stuck after being shot, and it was difficult to turn, and even one shell hit the ammunition depot, but fortunately, it was a dud - Tanegashima had limited production capacity, and the workers were not skilled enough, and the proportion of duds was high, almost 10% This is also the reason why the Science Gate fleet has been able to hold out until now - but, everyone knows that if the flagship is hit by a few more shells, it will really be doomed.
However, at this moment, Wu Qing suddenly saw a meteor flying from beyond the sea and sky, rushing headlong into the enemy fleet's flagship with the thickest armor and the most ferocious artillery, and then, the enemy's flagship exploded like a volcanic eruption in front of both the enemy and us.
Wu Qing had studied in the Silent Jade Bottle for "many years", and immediately understood what he was seeing, and he shouted with joy: "Missiles! Anti-ship missiles! Mr. Houlong has used his magical powers to save us!"
There was a burst of cheers from the fleet of Science Gate, because, they saw, more "shooting stars" emerging from the other side of the sea level - 8 YJ-83 missiles on one 022 boat, 16 on two 022s!
Sixteen missiles roared in, and in just a few tens of seconds, they plunged into the Western Fleet, and one ship after another exploded, burned, and sank, and the situation was suddenly reversed.
Wu Qing shouted: "Rush forward! I want to capture the commander of this fleet alive, and I must ask them where they came from!"
On the flagship of the Western Fleet, Charlie struggled to stand up in the bridge, he looked out of the porthole, and just saw an Eagle Strike missile hit the ammunition depot of one of his own warships, and in the continuous explosions, the poor ironclad ship was directly broken in two, and sank to the bottom of the sea in just half a minute, leaving only a huge whirlpool on the sea surface and countless fighters jumping into the sea to survive.
"No! This is impossible! Science Gate must have betrayed his soul to the devil and cast a magic spell!" Charlie was not injured in the attack just now, because he had already been cast on his body, and the big explosion caused by the Eagle Strike missile hitting the boiler caused although it shook the heads of many soldiers on the ship, but Charlie was fine except for rolling to the ground, disheveled, and a little embarrassed.
However, Charlie now even has the heart to die, just a moment ago, the fleet led by himself was still one-sided and slammed the fleet of the Science Gate, which will win a big victory, but in the blink of an eye, he was defeated by the evil magic that he had never heard of before - Charlie has also seen the priest cast a spell to summon the meteors in the sky, but the most pious priest in the entire church prayed and cast spells, and the summoned meteors were only a few to talk about, which is like the Science Gate, it is like a meteor shower.
A deep voice sounded behind Charlie: "No, that's not some evil art, I didn't sense any spiritual power, those meteors are just another weapon of Mr. Long behind the Science Gate." This weapon is completely different from artillery, it should be fired from hundreds of kilometers away, and it can find targets autonomously, which is really beyond my imagination. Alas, we still underestimate Mr. Houlong, since he can invent ironclad ships, he can naturally invent weapons to destroy ironclad ships. Charlie, abandon the ship, let me take you away with magic At this time, the fleet of Science Gate was approaching, and the shelling stopped for a while, obviously trying to capture us. ”
It was Father Aristarch who spoke, but he simply took Charlie and other senior officers with him, seeing the defeat.
Charlie also wondered if he could take one or two ships that were still in good condition - after all, ironclads were too precious to even be in the Western Ocean, and if he could bring one or two complete ironclads back to the mainland, he would soon be able to build a fleet with the help of the local wealth, skilled craftsmen, and the Holy See.
However, Charlie glanced at his own fleet floating on the sea with billowing smoke, and then looked at the Science Gate fleet that was getting closer and closer, and could almost see the black hole and cannon mouth, and sighed, knowing that if he didn't leave, he would have no chance.
Charles was about to abandon the ship with Father Aristarch to escape - in Western countries, there is no shame in the escape or surrender of high-ranking officers after losing a battle, and even the enemy will give them the courtesy they deserve, as long as they pay the ransom, they can return home safely, of course, the mud-legged soldiers are not so lucky.
At that moment, Father Aristarch suddenly snorted, "What is that? What a strange thing! Is it a weapon of the Science Gate? No, that flying thing has the mark of the red sun on it." Wait, that's the secret weapon of the Venezue people!"
Charlie hurriedly raised his binoculars to look at the horizon pointed by Father Aristarch, and sure enough, facing the rising sun, there was a group of small black dots flying, with the buzzing sound, the black dots were getting bigger and bigger, but it turned out to be a flying instrument in the air, it seemed to be made of wood and wire, with cannonballs hanging under the belly, and two large red sun markers under the wings.
In Charlie's telescope lens, the driver in the cockpit who flew first was none other than Taro Yamamoto!
Charlie gritted his teeth: "It's really a slave countryman! They didn't build any ironclad ships at all, but built this kind of flying machine! Damn! They deceived us! If they had gone out earlier, we would have wiped out the fleet of Science Gate a long time ago! These yellow-skinned monkeys, I said they were unreliable!"
Aristarch was not as excited as Charlie, the Holy See and the Venezue were originally using each other, not talking about a deep relationship, in fact, he had also deceived the Venezue people, he sighed lightly: "Charlie, stop your complaints, we are still relying on the Venezue Slave people to save us, maybe, we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory." ”
The black press group in the air is the seaplane group that departed from the space carrier of the Veduazu Country, led by Taro Yamamoto, who once attacked the Science Gate with the Haori team, and he can be regarded as having experience in air attacks, so he became the commander of the command.
The reason why the carrier-based aircraft unit of the Venezuela country was late was due to the heavy rain at sea, and in the rainy night, the planes made of wood and wire could not take off at all, and it was not that Taro Yamamoto deliberately delayed the fighters. As soon as the rain stopped and the sky was bright, he urged the soldiers to use cranes to lift the seaplanes one by one to the sea and organize takeoff.
When the planes were hoisted, several planes accidentally rolled on their sides in the seawater, and after a rush of work, the two space carriers finally released 30 seaplanes, formed an attack formation, and flew towards Tanegashima.
Taro Yamamoto didn't fly fast in the plane, because the plane was full of oil and bombs, and it was extremely heavy, but this was already a major weight that this small wooden propeller plane could carry, and Taro Yamamoto's secret agent lurking in Yoshigaku Gotaka Village had vaguely heard that Science Gate had a more powerful fighter plane in the northwest, and heard that it was made of metal, but Taro Yamamoto did not believe it -- the metal was extremely heavy, how could it fly in the sky? It must have been the secret agent who heard it wrong.
But Taro Yamamoto was not in a hurry, he calculated clearly in his heart that in this battle between the Western Fleet and the Science Gate Fleet, the Western Fleet must have the upper hand, because one is calculating, the other is to cover the clumsy civilian ships, one cannon armor is prepared, better, the other is suddenly met by the enemy, caught off guard, so, Father Aristarch is sure to win.
And the reason why Taro Yamamoto led the space carrier to participate in this naval battle that did not have much suspense was more to deter Westerners.
Western people are arrogant and greedy, this time after they defeated the Science Gate, with the power of a big victory, they will definitely get involved in the country of Enslaver, in this way, the country of Enslaver has really become the front door to reject the wolf and the back door to welcome the tiger.
However, the space carrier and bomber formation led by Taro Yamamoto will make the Westerners sober up, and the country of Venezuela also has considerable strength, and it is not a person who can be given what it wants.
Taro Yamamoto led the group, in the roar of the engine, flew over Tanegashima, and soon saw that on the sea in front of him, there were ironclad ships floating like hills, as Yamamoto Taro expected, after a fierce battle, the warships on both sides were damaged, and a stream of smoke drifted high into the air from the injured ships, and some ships were still on fire, and the ant-like soldiers were busy fighting the fire.
Taro Yamamoto was quite proud, look, this is the ironclad ship that thinks he is invincible, the ironclad ship against the ironclad ship, both sides must have their own victories and losers, and no one can win completely. But the plane is different, landing in the air, invincible, the sky is the real king's land.
Taro Yamamoto was hovering over the sea, the ships of both sides were intertwined, and he was going to find out the fleet of the Science Gate, and the fleet of the Science Gate was easy to identify because they were all uniformly hung with the five-star red flag - wait, what was going on?!
Taro Yamamoto rubbed his eyes, and for a moment, he thought he was wrong!
Because the two fleets on the sea were the most seriously damaged, and many of the ships were already half-sunk, and they were actually Westerners' fleets! Although the fleet of Science Gate was also wounded, it was still stubbornly firing its guns, and the Westerners' fleet was powerless to fight back!
The fleet of Westerners suddenly attacked by surprise, and the artillery fire was more fierce and the armor was thicker, but it was completely defeated by the battleships of the Science Gate!
Taro Yamamoto's eyes were about to bulge in shock--this Westerner is too incompetent! This science gate is too strong!
Damn, this mess has to be cleaned up by our enslaved people.
After judging the situation on the battlefield, Taro Yamamoto immediately shook his wings and took the lead in flying towards the flagship of Uqing, he recognized the flagship of Uqing, he had never seen this giant ship in Kyoto Bay, he knew that the thief captured the king first, as long as he killed Uqing, the other ships of the Science Gate would be in turmoil.
Wu Qing also saw the sudden plane on the bridge, although he did not know where the plane came from and which side it belonged to--he had never seen the mark of the red sun before--but when he saw the other side put on an attacking posture, he immediately ordered the soldiers to carry out air defense operations.
In the sharp air defense siren, the fighters jumped into the anti-aircraft guns or high-altitude aircraft battle positions, but a considerable part of these open-air artillery guns were destroyed in the ironclad duel just now, not to mention, because of the chaotic battle, now the fleet of Science Gate has not had time to adjust to the air defense formation, and there are huge loopholes in the firepower of the air defense network.
However, Wu Qing is not waiting to be killed, because he also has one trump card, that is, the radio proximity fuse!
Since the first battle between the Science Gate fleet and the Venezuelan fleet, Wuqing's detachment encountered a special attack team wearing a feather weaving uniform, Guo Dalu realized that the air defense of the ironclad ship was extremely weak, and on the one hand, he asked for air defense missiles from the 21st century, and on the other hand, he organized people to develop their own radio proximity fuses -- air defense missiles are too expensive, and they are too wasteful to use to deal with the special attack teams that fly extremely clumsy in feather weaving uniforms. Radio proximity fuses are much cheaper.
On the Wuqing fleet, a batch of anti-aircraft guns that can fire radio proximity fuses have been prepared, and at this time, under the order of Wuqing, it spits out flames and scatters countless shrapnel of death at the enemy in the air.
Hoo hoo hoo, one shell after another exploded in the bomber formation led by Taro Yamamoto, Taro Yamamoto immediately discovered that something was wrong, he had seen anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns before, although the firepower was fierce, but it was not without loopholes, with the Zero fighter he was piloting now, he would definitely be able to easily dodge the opponent's anti-aircraft fire network.
However, this time, the shells flying from the battleship of Science Gate were strange, as if they had eyes, and they exploded near the bomber!
In order to pursue the range, the Zero fighter was mounted with auxiliary fuel tanks and heavy bombs, and the flight was extremely clumsy, and in order to reduce the weight of the fuselage, many parts were not protected, and in the shrapnel flying around, three bombers were hit immediately, and the wooden fuselage was ejected and several big holes were punched, and even broken in the air, and then the fuel tank was broken, and with a bang, the whole fighter turned into a burning fireball, falling from the air to the sea, splashing a high column of water, and the pilots inside did not even have the opportunity to parachute.
"Throw away the auxiliary fuel tank! Throw away the auxiliary fuel tank!" Yamamoto Taro yelled, although there was no radio installed on the plane, but each plane was pasted with a rune drawn by the great monk Changfa himself, through this rune, Yamamoto Taro could command the formation freely.
Monk Changfa himself is opposed to using any spiritual power spells on fighter planes, but with the current capabilities of the Enu Country, it is okay to make a bulky radio station for use on ironclad ships, but it is absolutely impossible to use it on an airplane that can be reduced by reducing the radio.
In desperation, the monk Changfa had to draw these runes for Taro Yamamoto, otherwise, the soldiers would not be allowed to communicate with each other by gesturing or waving various small flags in the plane, right?
After throwing it into the heavy auxiliary fuel tank, the Zero fighter suddenly climbed lightly, quickly climbed, threw the radio proximity fuse shell behind him, and swooped down from the air at a vertical angle towards the Wuqing battleship.
As soon as Taro Yamamoto rode in the dust, the whole plane was trembling in the high-speed dive, as if it would scatter at any time, and in the sight of the nose windshield, the figure of the black flagship was getting bigger and bigger, and it was getting bigger and bigger, almost filling the entire field of vision of Taro Yamamoto - if the bomb was not dropped, Taro Yamamoto and the fighter plane would crash into the deck of the flagship!
Taro Yamamoto roared, pulled the handle, the heavy bomb on the belly broke away from the hook, and roared towards the black flagship below, Taro Yamamoto clenched the lever between his legs, and the Zero fighter that got rid of the heavy load regained its lightness, and with a buzz, he wiped the top mast of the ironclad ship and pulled it up, throwing off a string of shells behind him.
Boom, with a loud bang, dozens of kilograms of bombs exploded on the top of the flagship bridge, and the huge acceleration made the bomb directly penetrate the roof of the bridge and explode violently inside!
Immediately behind Taro Yamamoto, the group of fighters of the Veduashi Kingdom dropped bombs one by one, except for two fighters that were shot down, and one fighter plane that was not pulled up in time because the altitude was too low and crashed, a total of eleven bombs hit Wuqing's flagship.
This attack, even if the Wuqing flagship is intact, it can't stand it, not to mention that the flagship was originally scarred in the artillery battle with the Western warship, the flagship exploded like a small volcanic eruption, the huge chimney, the heavy turret was thrown out of the hull in the violent explosion, and the vast majority of soldiers didn't even have a chance to escape, they were directly blown up, burned, and burned to death.
In just a few minutes, the Wuqing flagship sank into the sea, only a very small number of lucky people jumped into the sea in time, and did not sink with the giant ship, among them, there was a bridge after being hit by a bomb, Wuqing was thrown out of the porthole by the air wave, his internal organs were injured, three ribs were broken, and he was unconscious in the sea, and was found and protected by other fighters who jumped into the sea.
