~.-~    Chapter 332: Target shooting at sea

On the Amphibious Assault Ship No. 202, Captain Ma Han stood in the command room of the command tower, and used a large-caliber telescope to look at the "King Kong" battleship here. Somehow, he felt a sense of sadness when he died of a rabbit and fox.

He was not sad that the Japanese soldiers had fallen into such a situation. As an opponent, he actually looked down on the Japanese who had no demeanor or credibility. It was not a psychological burden to be able to kill these little dwarfs on the battlefield.

What made him feel a pity was this British-made warship. As a stereotyped orthodox soldier, he always thought that all the monsters caused by steel should have their own destiny, but no matter what, they should not be demolished on the ship platform, or parked on the sea like in front of him and were beaten to pieces like a target. That was too cruel.

But there is no way, who said they are opponents? Unfortunately, they have to take ruthless measures for their own survival. There is no choice.

With a sigh, Captain Ma Han waved his hand gently and ordered: "Fire the cannon and sink him!"

The two turrets "boomed" and spit out huge fire balls that made the sea water ahead feel low. The thick and heavy shells spanned thirty kilometers of space with extremely stable ballistics. In the first round, there was a hit. The armor-piercing projectile with huge kinetic energy penetrated the side armor of the "Kingang" effortlessly through a large hole, and exploded in the inner compartment. The sweeping storm bulged a large bag of the upper deck, blew up a secondary cannon from the bottom and flew into the air.

The other direction was that the 201 ship opened fire. After the storm, the calm water surface as calm as a harbor could only cause a slight shaking, which made the artillery soldiers who had heated their hands aim at it without much effort. After two consecutive rounds of artillery bombs, a high-explosive bomb suddenly fell from the high altitude at a high angle of the lob, piercing through the middle chimney of the "Kingang", penetrated through the upper deck and exploded violently!

The shell exploded so much that it was so solid that it first blew the nearest chimney to pieces. The roaring flames swept across all sides, blowing all the lifeboats hanging on both sides into pieces. The two densely arranged double-mounted 25mm machine guns were directly scrapped into parts. A 127mm double-mounted high-angle gun near the side of the ship did not escape the fate of being destroyed. Without the turret, the seven or eight soldiers surrounding them were smashed and gasified before they could even scream!

The disaster was not over yet, and the third round of bombardment was even more sharp. Three of the twelve armor-piercing bombs hit the target. One hit the waist of the former commander tower, blowing half of the complex building that had lost a lot of weight. The captain was lucky to not be affected, but all the glass in the entire tower exploded, and more than 20 people were killed or injured.

The second shell hit the main mast, and one of the three legs was blown off. The main chimney next to it was torn open by the power of the shells that penetrated the deck, and both of them were tilted, and thick smoke covered half of the deck.

The third round penetrated under the No. 3 turret, drilled directly into the ammunition depot and exploded, causing a violent explosion in an instant. A fireball with a diameter of more than 100 meters flew with a steel structure weighing thousands of tons and the turret for half a day. The entire "King Kong" actually jumped up, and the keel cracked from behind!

At this time, the real body of the "King Kong" could not be seen clearly from a distance, but it was stranded and could not run away. The two warships with no conscience bombs successively bombed five rounds of high-explosion bombs, and the shooting became more and more accurate. They hit eleven shells to smooth out the entire upper deck building. Both the commander tower and the turret were blown up, and the flying metal fragments were spread out one kilometer away. Finally, the two shells fell into the ammunition depot of the No. 2 turret and the power compartment below, causing the double explosion of ammunition and boiler. The warship was watching it breaking and turning into a pile of scrap iron that could not be scrapped!

"It's almost done! Stop the troops and yell!" Zhu Bin confirmed the photos of various angles taken by the lifeboat and ordered the two warships to retreat to the western waters, and met with the destroyers and supply ships scattered there. Ten submarines quietly surfaced, setting up a formation of twenty kilometers wide and turning around and running towards the north at full speed.

At this time, the sky was bright, and the fighter jets that took off from the Japanese aircraft carrier saw the smoke pillars soaring into the sky from afar. They couldn't believe their eyes. After several low-altitude flights, they finally confirmed that the scattered sea areas in diameters of thirty or forty kilometers were all the imperial fleets on their own! Especially the largest torch, the "King Kong" battleship!

Minai Mitsumasa jumped up on the spot when she received the report, her eyes almost popped out of her eye sockets, and she shouted in a different tone: "What?! The King Kong was sunk?! How is it possible! Why didn't I receive any report?! What did Colonel Kishimoto do?"

Kishimoto Kakoji had already returned to heaven, of course he could not hear his roar. When the five warships that survived into the reef turned back to rescue, the more than 2,300 crew members of the King Kong were killed, two-thirds of the total death! The entire ship could no longer see its shape. The consequence of being hit by more than twenty shells was that it was completely scrapped!

Mine Mitsumasa sat on the chair in a daze, unable to make a sound for a while. Why, for a whole night, he couldn't receive any news? No matter how strong the storm was, could he not even send a telegram?

And how did the other party discover that group of warships? Even if they have night vision equipment, such night vision in the wind and rain is useless. If you want to hit and destroy the entire squadron, how efficient and firepower is it? No matter how they can't do this, is it God is helping? It's impossible!

But he could not explain such losses to the country. Battleships are different from others. This is the fundamental guarantee for the establishment of the entire Japanese country. They represent the face and dignity of the Japanese Empire. If they were sunk in such a confused manner, the country will definitely be in a state of chaos!

After sitting for ten minutes, Mine Hiromasa squeezed out a few words from his teeth: "Find them and destroy them with all your might!"

On the two aircraft carriers, sixty fighter jets rose to the sky as if they had blown up a hornet's nest. After crossing the Zhongsha Islands area, they divided into twenty teams and spread out, spreading forward across the airspace of 500 kilometers. In less than two hours, they found the task force they had just met. Then the telegram was sent, and the various aircraft groups called him and launched an attack with great momentum!

"You have to fight for your life! I'll accompany you!" Eighteen destroyers and two main battleships have already set up their formations. When they saw the Japanese fighter jets rushing, dense air defense cannons were opened. The 127mm guns alone were as high as 124, 76mm air defense cannons, and 25mm dual-mounted machine cannons have as many as 160 seats and 320 gates! A diamond formation that is ten kilometers wide is opened across the globe. Under the command of the unified link of the cluster intelligent system, two barriers were arranged with VT fuse shells to cover the two fronts of the fleet respectively. The dense machine cannons divided into groups to block the gap in the middle. A single shell dragged the dense whistling sound of a wide web of death in an instant!

The bravery of the Japanese fighter jets with red eyes was amazing! The first wave was too late to avoid it, so they simply hit it in one head. More than a dozen biplane fighters exploded into balls of fire in the sky, spilling into the sea. The pilot had no time to parachute and escape, so they died with the fighter jets!

But the second wave of aircraft group following him rushed out. When Zhu Bin saw his appearance, he was shocked and shouted: "*** There are also advanced fighter jets!"

It was just a dozen Type 95 single-wing fighters that had just been produced not long ago! A new guy who looked like a carrot and could fly to a maximum speed of 503 kilometers! These guys didn't show up yesterday, and today they hid behind other fighters and suddenly rushed out. This is a surprise attack!

"You can't let them break in! The Japanese guys are cunning!" Zhu Bin yelled, and the control unit immediately pulled out half of the dual-mounted machine guns. The dual-mounted 76mm anti-aircraft guns even opened the defense area. Two groups quickly aimed at the group of uninvited guests who were attacking at high speed, and concentrated on shooting!

The Type 95 fighter is very flexible! It minimizes the thickness and weight of the fuselage. The bulky engine can also give flexibility over the p-21a and has great firepower. The original imported 20mm Erickon machine guns are launched in two connections, and when sprayed "thump" and even a dazzling fire chain is created!

Perhaps this group of Japanese planes were too greedy! They swept across the destroyers on the periphery without hesitation, staring at the two huge amphibious assault ships in the middle, diving at a high angle at high speed, and swearing to smash the bombs they carry on the flat deck!

Looking at the flashing red alarm beside the radar screen, Zhu Bin sneered: "If you want to make me a fool, you are a little tender! The anti-aircraft guns in this world are not just stupid and random! There is a thing called close defense!"

In order to maximize manpower and ensure safety, none of the artillery of the two amphibious assault ships is man-controlled! All are electronically controlled, and all light and heavy artillery fires are marshalled and commanded by a special fire control radar. Three dual turrets of 127mm, 76mm and 25mm are divided into four. Each group takes care of a fighter jet. Suddenly, three continuous blockade barriers are sprayed out. Whether from the longitudinal or horizontal directional directional directional maneuvering, they will always crash into a death fire wall!

"Boom! Boom!" Before the dozen Type 95 fighter jets had time to make a profit, they hit the advanced near-proof firepower that should not have appeared in this era. The seemingly high speed of 500 kilometers per hour is no different from that of ant in the processing of smart units. Although the turret under the flexible motor control is bulky, its rotation speed can definitely keep up, not to mention that they can also play "regional joint defense"!

Balls of fireballs burst out one after another, turning into dazzling glare on the heads of the two warships. Most of the surviving 95 fighter jets left their bodies after death. They turned their heads and rushed to escape from this terrifying air defense firepower network. They were all stupid and didn't know what to do. All this was different from what they knew and practiced!

As the first naval aviation unit to develop aircraft carriers and first invest in actual combat, Japan has rich experience in using fighter jets to attack maritime forces and has conducted a lot of targeted training. In their records, dozens of fighter jets have never failed to raid their own fleets. Each time the result is to easily throw bombs onto the warship to cause huge damage, but what happened this time! The opponent's shells seemed to have eyes, and they could explode next to the fighter jets every time. Even if they showed a set height and exploded on their own, this was a bit coincidental!

The mystery of the vt fuse shell is here! Those who don’t understand will always feel as incredible as seeing a ghost!

If Zhu Bin had not had so many backup plans, he would never dare to have the courage to fight the Japanese army alone. What we are playing is technical advantages!

In a blink of an eye, more than twenty of the impact aircraft group were knocked out. The rest were either off-attack or bombarded the slender destroyers below. Unfortunately, the destroyers with super fast and flexible speeds are definitely not that easy to deal with. If the scattered small bombs are dropped, they will suffer minor injuries at most. If they want to explode, they will not be enough to double the number!

Seeing that the range had exceeded, more than 30 Japanese planes were preparing to launch another wave of attacks, but suddenly they received a telegram from the aircraft carrier that the mothership was attacked by enemy planes and asked to return to rescue immediately!

At this time, they were shocked and realized that the fleet below had been hit by a lot of bombs and did not take off a single fighter plane. No, no fighter plane was on the ship. At this time, they were likely to take a detour to attack their aircraft carriers!

I guessed it right! That's how it is! Although this fleet is so weak, it has a few fighter planes.

The two amphibious assault ships carried 12 fighters, each with a patrol aircraft, and the four hospital supply ships also carried two fighters, which together had thirty-eight aircraft of all kinds! With the air force technology that was much higher than the Japanese army, these fighters had no exception at all speeds. Even if they had a speed of less than 400 kilometers, their firepower was very strong! For example, the big "Catrina" P2V patrol aircraft carried four machine guns, and the air combat may not be effective, so it would be a big surprise to launch a raid on the ship.

The old Japanese destroyers have only added some anti-aircraft machine guns. Only large warships have added high-angle guns to air, and the number is not as many as imagined. You can bully others in normal times, but suddenly you will be beaten by yourself and you will be panicked!

Continue attacking? Or return to help?

After hesitation, the Japanese plane immediately made a decision. Not only did the bone in front of him could not be chewed and delayed, but his aircraft carrier didn't know whether he could survive. He had to jump into the sea collectively and return to the rescue!

The remaining Japanese planes flocked to each other, Zhu Bin wiped his sweat and said with a long breath: "It's so lingering! If these Japanese men force themselves down, we must smoke today!"

Chen Shaokuan asked in confusion: "Why do you have to be so dangerous? Why are the fighter jets on the two airships hidden? It is not wise to let a group of carrier-based aircraft attack Japanese aircraft carriers with strong air firepower."

Zhu Bin laughed and said, "Airships and fighter planes are killer weapons! Now it's time to show up. The carrier-based aircraft group is a feint attack. How can they let them touch the "Kaga"'s large-caliber anti-aircraft guns!"
