Chapter 1025 Iowa-class battleship, first battle 2!
In order to be able to control the width of the Panama Canal, the slender hull looks particularly thin and slim in front of the Yamato class. Three nine-door 406mm50-diameter body tube cannons were used for the first time to use advanced hydraulic tightening tubes, which only requires two layers. Just like the MK2 before, the strength of the 7-layer gun barrel inlay was not weak, the range was longer, and the accuracy was higher!
The first ship of Iowa, which was standing across the sea, raised its thick cannon barrel from afar, released the earth-shaking first cry of the battlefield with a silence!
"boom!"
The nine firings almost condensed into one sound, and the millisecond time difference made the severely interfering muzzle wind and recoil into continuous violent shocks!
Because of the launch of the maximum elevation angle, the recoil force was even downward and the right impact caused the entire warship to sink down fiercely and move several meters in parallel. The sea water on the port side was squeezed into a round depression of 300 meters long by the orange flash. The sea surface with the surging waves was instantly flattened, reflecting rippling brilliance, illuminating the long ship's body with mighty and mighty power!
The MK8 armor-piercing bomb, a slender 1225kg body, was stolen by Zhu Bin using excessive technical means and was first equipped with excellent weapons. It lined up in a stable arc and rotated gently. At the initial speed of 762 meters per second, it drew a beautiful arc and pounced on the dark night sky, and was embedded into the complex and chaotic air-ground integrated joint combat system, and passed the flying fighter jets and arrived first!
"Report! The battleship fire was detected! Direction 78, distance 33,650, number 9, target, 605, hit probability, zero!"
In just a few seconds, the intelligent unit of the general control battlefield calculated the earth-shaking volley data, and repeated it with the defense officer's quick mouth. Nine ballistic arcs were depicted in the holographic image of its operating platform.
The nearest shell was about 600 meters away from the heavy cruiser of the Jinan. At such a distance, the first volley was amazingly accurate!
The data was shared simultaneously in front of Chen Ce's main console. The expanded holographic image expanded even more, depicting the overview of the naval battle with a diameter of nearly 100 kilometers. The densely packed stars represent the enemy units that are launching the attack from time to time and then disappearing rapidly. They are flying missiles, thrown bombs, downed aircraft, and eliminated torpedoes.
The number of signals is dazzling and cannot be taken care of. Only after extremely rigorous training and experienced combat staff and weapons experts can keep up with the changes and make real-time judgments.
The US battleship finally opened fire!
Chen Ce's face showed a satisfied smile! He stroked his hands and said, "Okay! The Americans finally didn't disappoint me too much! No matter who the commander opposite me is, if you have the chance, you can invite him to have a drink. I have some courage!"
This is not pretentious. After years of practical testing, the navy of the world is not fools who should be clear about it. Facing the Chinese people, the safest way is not to expose the target, otherwise the outcome will generally not be very good. How about Nimitz? Such a huge Pacific Navy still fought only a few small boats, and the world's third-largest Japanese Combined Fleet was wiped out. They are all bloody role models!
Today, even on the dark night, according to the traditional concept of the navy, between them, there are probably no artillery shots between them. Well, to be precise, they will definitely not be able to hit. Until now, the records of night shelling are still created by the Chinese - there is still the result of intelligent fire control radar for aiming correction, and the joint probability shooting of multiple warships and multiple turrets.
Then, while the Americans were attacking super saturated and intensively, they boldly launched the artillery bombardment of the main battleship, either impatient or making their voices: "We are not afraid of you!"
“I like challenges!”
A hard pattern appeared on the corner of Chen Ce's mouth, and ordered: "Let Hengshan and Yandangshan prepare to enter the battle! Reciting the exchanges, this time, we also greeted with the cannon!"
It's so crazy!
The chief of staff next to him looked worriedly, but he didn't say anything. He knew very well that in the Zhu family army, every general was very unique, and he was so arrogant that he would rather break than bend, and no one could persuade him. Giving such an order would be like taking a life-threatening risk! To be honest, it was a bit unreasonable.
However, when the orders spread throughout the fleet, the violent cries erupted from ships of all sizes were enough to make him more clear that the young Chinese navy was actually more impulsive and liked to use this intense means that made people's blood boil to fight, to exude youth and blood, and to face challenges!
The navy, the traditional navy, places ideals and glory in the majestic steel warships, thick muzzles, deafening roar, spectacular explosion, collision of iron and fire, and baptism of waves!
In the shouts, in the endless destruction, in the boiling flames, realize their ideals, their spirits, and their personality, sublimate and shine together!
The Hengshan battleship, captain Chen Hongtai, Yandangshan, and captain Gao Xianshen, were also from the old navy. They were also colonels with a ragged 1,000-ton boat. Now they are leading a 45,000-ton giant ship. They are still colonels, but their quality, feeling, temperament, and confidence are completely different concepts.
At the beginning, they faced the Third Fleet of the Japanese Navy that was rushing into Shanghai with great power, those ragged ships that could be put into the museum and exhibited, retreated, shrunk, dared not say a word, dared not fire a shot, and even the commander shamelessly went to contact each other to pretend not to see each other. This is a shame that can be engraved for a lifetime! Each of them needs to wash the snow with their own hands!
In the North Sea, the East Sea, the Ocean, all the old navy soldiers personally washed away the dirt in actual combat and could become a new person. Today, it was finally their turn to carry the stains of their lives and they would be completely erased!
Fight! Go to fight!
The two battleships, once the strongest force of the Chinese navy, shocked the world and defeated the backbone of the Japanese army, and once again stood at the forefront of the war!
"Left rudder 105, target, enemy battleship, defensive offensive mode, start! Advance!"
The power system is fully powered, and the auxiliary Tesla diesel steam turbine is added to the operation. The four-sided one-piece propeller thrusters are running wildly. The tails of the two Taishan-class battleships rumble and rumble white and bright waves. They split the two deep trails and rushed forward against the dense attacks!
In front, around the heavy cruiser Jinan, nine 406mm armor-piercing meteors fell one after another like a moon-catching meteor. In the rumbling explosion, water columns joined a joint carnival of airdrop bombs and torpedoes.
The crew members did not have the initial nervousness, and there was no itch if there were too many lice, and there was no worry if there were too many troubles. This greeting, which was regarded as the main target of the enemy, made them proud, and they were hit by an armor-piercing bomb, an aviation bomb, or a torpedo or a fighter, and the result was not much different. Instead of worrying about those, it would be better to let go and do a big fight!
All weapons on the entire ship are released at the maximum speed and with the highest efficiency. Regardless of costs and the subsequent rhythm, they are fierce and cruel, and they are released outward!
Three triple-mounted 203mm German blood main guns aim at one target each time, and the rumbling single tube and multi-pronged fires accurately hit the enemy destroyer or the torpedo that jumped out!
The 6 densely-established dual-purpose 105mm high-level dual-purpose cannons were vented into the sky without any stopping efforts. Together with the 12 quad-equipped 40mm anti-aircraft cannons, forming an insurmountable aerial firewall, one wave after another, shooting down and injuring the enemy planes that are hit!
The four six-barrel close-proof cannons on the last, and there were no time to rest. A series of fire chains composed of strings of shells. One by one, one long, one swept a large piece, and from time to time, swept the enemy planes and torpedoes close to each other, swept into pieces, causing explosions and rising fragments, rushing on the hull, on the deck, on the bridge, and the splashing flames shine brightly!
The torpedo tube on the side, the transducer-controlled rocket deep bomb, and the rocket nest of the Iron Curtain Intercept System are all bursting out!
This is the most violent outbreak since the birth of the capital-class heavy cruiser! A ship of only 14,000 tons was forcibly mounted to the front desk and became the most eye-catching star. But this light, facing endless attacks, may be completely eliminated in the next second.
Until two Taishan-class battleships rushed forward together!
"Boom!" Another gliding bomb exploded against the upper part! The huge energy pushed the sea water, which converted the terrible power of an aircraft carrier into a horizontal squeeze, and slapped hard on the side of the waterline armor of the Jinan heavy cruiser, and forced the sturdy ultrasonic welding skeleton to squeeze, squeaking and deforming!
The heavy hull not only moved seven or eight meters, but also squeezed out an irregular depression on the side. Several cracks suddenly appeared, tons of sea water pouring into it!
Seeing that, if you do it again, you might seriously injured her. The officers and soldiers on the ship all had the consciousness of dying. Without any warning, a ray of light suddenly appeared above their heads!
Several "dandelions" released from the two Taishan-class battleships at the same time bloomed fiercely!
A dozen sub-missiles formed a dense and insurmountable network, wrapped the entire Jinan in and pushed it outward, expanding the defense line with a diameter of ten kilometers, and scattering the second round of the Iowa ship, a very dangerous near-missile bomb, and a continuous explosion, pushing off the trajectory and falling into the distance!
In the air, five or six enemy planes that were imminent exploded with a bang, and the gliding bombs that rushed to the top of their heads hundreds of meters high disintegrated!
Immediately afterwards, a deafening volley broke out on the side, and the eighteen main guns of the two battleships pointed at the distant waters. The strongest American battleship, which was spewing smoke, whistling warheads spanned the air above both sides of the heavy cruiser, pierced the clouds and split the sun, and swarmed away!
"The Chinese battleship has finally officially opened fire!"
The unique flash and grand scene are so vivid that they can be used as a lighthouse in the dark! Mitchell used all his plans and various plans, and finally created opportunities, forcing his hidden battleship out. The counterattacking volley not only did not make him nervous, but instead breathed a sigh of relief and called the two warships with a smile: "Look at yours for the rest of the battle!"
The siege of the 19th Fleet of the US Army suddenly turned after this volley!
The night fighter jet, which was about to dive to the limit, suddenly pulled up its fuselage, leveled it like a water float, and rushed towards two towering figures at high speed!
The second wave of F7F, which was eyeing the target, was like a vulture that discovered the target, suddenly falling down, piles of gliding bombs. It was decoupled one after another, and then rushed down!
After being hit on the sea for more than a dozen consecutive ships, there were still more than twenty besiege destroyers left. The direction of their maneuvers changed again, and they all shook their tails one after another. They shot out a second wave of torpedoes in front!
The most distinctive ones were that the two Iowa-class battleships rotated the turrets weighing 1,730 tons together, and pointed at a new angle with the muzzle of rolling white smoke. Calibrate the aim and fire in sequence!
Almost as their third round of bombardment was launched, the 406mm shells on the opposite side also arrived!
In the high-speed maneuver between each other, under extremely harsh sea conditions, the view of various interferences stirring together is unclear, and it is impossible to aim accurately, and there is no suddenness. Almost returned to the original artillery attack state, the volley shells fired out have limited accuracy!
The boiling sea surface presents an unprecedented chaos!
The four battleships on both sides carried the same turrets and main guns and fired the same shells. They shot wildly without caring about their life span. Round after round, getting closer and closer, and more accurate again and again!
The forty or fifty destroyers and several cruisers on both sides were like the ingredients in sandwich biscuits. Although rich and fulfilling, they were soft and vulnerable. They were sandwiched in the powerful battleship, and above their heads were heavy shells whistling over their heads. Any terrifying killer who could blow them in half, the shadow of death. They were just a short distance away.
But these warships ignored each other and used various killer moves and various attacks on opponents with similar physiques, brutal and cruel!
Explosion! Roar! Echo! Gun smoke! Waves! Flash! Flame!
Just like a grand symphony between the sea and the sky, an infinitely wide theater performance, the loud noises are like the heart-shaking notes, or the finishing touch of the military music, bang bang bang, shocking impact!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The monotonous, rhythmless and aesthetically stunning warheads can flatten a car's steel lump. The powerful mutual damage weapon created by humans continues to push in and explode through the vast sea water!
Thirty-five kilometers, thirty kilometers, twenty-five kilometers!
The four battleships squeezed each other's space! The destroyers inside exploded and caught fire in a crazy attack. Most of them were US warships with extremely poor defense, and seven or eight Chinese ships set on this side were covered in wounds and fireworks. If it weren't for the high-quality technology of the damage tube, explosion and firefighting bombs were available at any time, I'm afraid they would all become the nests of joy for the undersea torpedo!
The battle entered the precise strike distance of the main battleship! All light ships, who can move, hurriedly avoided both sides. If they stayed there, they had to be cannon fodder!
The scarred heavy cruiser of Jinan once again used his main gun to rush up to pick up cheap US military heavy cruiser and flew around, dragging the rolling smoke and leaving. Behind them, a large group of explosions began to stage spectacularly!
Major General Mitchell, who spent a lot of money, sent almost all the night fighter jets he could use, forming a second wave of attacks. A large group of blue and white men opened the way with gliding bombs, constantly consuming the air defense missiles and artillery fireworks bloomed one by one, representing bombs and planes being destroyed, but he refused to issue an order to withdraw!
Everything is just for battleships, to get close time and opportunity!
It's getting closer! The huge hull, like a mountain, may feel very far on land, and it may take half a day to walk, but the shells only need to fly for more than ten seconds!
The first official spearhead of the two Iowa-class battleships since they were completed and put into use, and the tenth and twenty volleys finally achieved results!
A shell extended low and flat along a stable arc, and fell suddenly when it was about to approach Hengshan. It was like a fallen leaf ball kicked by a famous football player. The track change caused by unknown reasons caused a strange change to the warhead that could not hit. Just as it was approaching the battleship, it fell into the water. It bounced gently on the sea surface, with a pointed tip facing up, and hit the main armor belt about one meter on the waterline of the battleship!
boom!
The 1225 kilogram armor-piercing bomb, with the best angle and powerful kinetic energy, hit the super-strength alloy armor layer up to 350mm thick!
The shell, which is comparable to the strength of titanium alloy, collapsed in response, forming an inner pit with a diameter of three meters. In the middle, a small hole as big as a basketball was squeezed out by the warhead, but in the end it jammed the shell hard on the neck. The subsequent explosion, 18.55 kilograms of high-explosion explosives bloomed gorgeously from the surface!
The terrible chemical energy and the reverse impact pushed the warship into trembling. Thousands of tons of sea water were suddenly gasified, forming a stream of smoke that was more than ten meters wide and nearly a hundred meters long and rushing out!
The powerful hull, along the small thunder, was a terrifying energy, and instantly high temperature, sprayed out the tip of half of the warhead with hundreds of kilograms. The burst fragments were diffracted in a fan shape. In an instant, the 50mm basalt lining plate in the inner compartment collapsed, and two layers were penetrated straight up, down, left and right. The instant air explosion caused not only doubled the depression opening, but also made the facilities inside a mess!
"I've hit it!"
Chapter completed!
