Chapter 486 Battleship Showdown (2)
"Boom!" Another shell fell on the front deck of the "Ise" battleship. Even if 135mm of horizontal armor was added, it still could not withstand the strong attack of the 1225 kilograms of armor-piercing bombs. The first layer of armor with a total of 85m was easily torn apart, and together with the teak board on the surface, it cracked a big mouth, forming a miserable black hole with miserable corners!
Three minutes ago, after being penetrated by an armor-piercing projectile from the left side of the bow, the turret A was completely paralyzed. Fortunately, the relatively straight ballistic of the shell smashed the bomber from the middle and rubbed the middle of the turret B. The explosion caused damage that the former could not be repaired for the time being. The shells and launching drugs below could not come up. Most of the members in the turret died and could not continue to fight, but there was no unspeakable tragic consequences such as the explosion of ammunition.
However, the strike position of this shell was too straight, almost rubbing the main gun into the center. Due to the deviation of the firing angle, the lower structure of the right side of the turret tear out a large hole as thick as a person, penetrated the two layers of ship boards one after another, and fell into a corner of the ammunition depot. The next moment, it suddenly exploded!
This time, I was not so lucky. The storm caused by the explosion first swept across the entire confined space. The five soldiers working inside turned into meat scraps on the spot. Then the launcher was ignited. The violent explosion exerted terrifying destructive power in the next moment. The two turrets closely connected with each other were on earth planes at the same time. The whole thing was blown up from the root and flew upwards. Two 86.4-ton guys were thrown lightly and slanted like wind blowing egg shells, nearly 50 meters high. They disintegrated in the sky, and most of them rumbled into the seawater!
On the deck widened to 33.83 meters, a large hole sprayed with flames, steel, wood, and human body fragments erected a mushroom cloud column hundreds of meters high towards the sky. Whether it was the main gun operating, the 127mm anti-aircraft gun installed after removing the secondary gun, or the clumsy and garbage soldier with 3-company 25mm anti-aircraft guns, his feet trembled violently at the same time. He couldn't help but flew into the air! Around him, the anti-aircraft guns that had never been used after modification, were all scattered into twisted parts, and they sprinkled towards the turbulent sea like fireworks and hail!
A thick 356mm gun barrel was blown away from the turret and flew backwards. The thick bridge in the middle of the thick root was rumbling loudly, and the bridge tower that was already trembling and shaking all over by the explosion suddenly shook violently!
In the commander's room, Captain Yamaguchi Dawu was roaring and directing the main gun to counterattack. Suddenly, the heavy artillery barrel smashed over and swept all the reinforced explosion-proof bunkers and steel ladder cables, etc., and slapped firmly on the window. Large pieces of glass exploded, erupting into the interior like shells. Large and small looked like hornets that exploded in the nest, and hit Colonel Yamaguchi with a head-on face!
The sharp shatters were like a knife. Even the tempered bulletproof glass was like a bullet at the end of the range, and it instantly cut dozens of holes into Yamaguchi's upper body. The worst thing was that a handful of pieces of fingertips were slapped on his face, and it was like a football spike in the face. The bloody holes of all sizes were densely covered with blood!
Yamaguchi Dawen screamed, and a backward green onion knocked over the chair and lay down with a "bang". His eyes couldn't see anything clearly at that time!
The people next to them were not much better. They were so shocked that they sat down, or hit the wall, on the table, on the door frame, broke arms and legs, and broke heads and smeared their front teeth. They were all kinds of injuries!
Two staff members who had no luck in their fortunes ran up and rushed to Yamaguchi Daowen and hugged him anxiously: "Colonel! Are you okay, Colonel?!"
Yamaguchi Dawen shook his head hard, wiped off the blood stains on his face with his backhand, and cut off at least five pieces of glass fragments, but the piece embedded in his right eye was squeezed in, making him scream in pain. However, he was not only not defeated by the pain, but instead stimulated the cruelty in his bones. He gritted his teeth and pinched the glass with both heads, pulled it out, and threw it to the side. The fierce light flashed in his one-eye shouted at the staff officer: "What are you doing around me! Go and help and continue fighting!"
The fat face was covered with blood, and the one-eyed eyes were gloomy and looked like the fierce evil spirit who had just crawled out of the Uzumaki Birasaka. The two staff officers were so scared that they almost fainted. They couldn't help but fight coldly all over. Without saying a word, they turned around to rescue the other wounded.
Yamaguchi Dawen took out his handkerchief, wrapped around his right eye like mud, pulled his military uniform and shook it hard, "Pu Lala" and broke off more than a dozen glass fragments, and simply pulled it away to both sides. The buttons were all bounced away, revealing the shirt and vest soaked in blood inside. He tied it up randomly, rushed to the porthole and jumped up, kicking it on the cannon barrel that had been smashed into several inches.
I don’t know if the power he burst out was too great or if the cannon tube was not able to hang up, and the deformed 356mm cannon shook his feet and rolled and fell all the way.
Yamaguchi Dawen held the porthole frame with both hands, staring at the rolling smoke with one eye, and appeared unstable after he opened fire while urging in the "Tarzan" who was rushing in diagonally, using all his strength: "The warship turns right seventy degrees, and the remaining main guns fire with all their strength, kill!"
The deputy captain rushed up, pulled his belt and pulled it down hard, shouting loudly: "Captain! The turret No. 1 and 2 has been completely destroyed, the bow is in full swing, and the casualties are very serious. We should withdraw from the battle!"
Yamaguchi Dawen turned around and grabbed his collar, spitting out the other party, shouting loudly: "Our mission is the greatest possibility to attack the Chinese warships, and to buy enough time for other warships. Apart from death in battle, there is no possibility of retreat. You understand?!"
"Ming...understand!"
The deputy captain was frightened by his appearance! His face was already broken and shattered like a steamed bun that had been stepped on. The edges of the bloody holes were uneven, which was particularly creepy. Blood dripping dripping with his lips shaking hard, splashing everywhere, and his face was always spreading. He looked like a mad dog who was impatient!
Yamaguchi Tatsumeshi had never thought about what his appearance would be like, so he pushed the other person away. He twisted his body and grabbed the porthole frame and poked his head out, allowing the churning smoke below to smoke and resolutely refused to shake it.
The Ise shot five shells in ten minutes, all of which were 406mm armor-piercing bombs. Except for two on the bow, the main mast was broken in one of them, and the one near-lost bomb explosion caused a three-meter-long hole to crack in the port side. However, the water inlet was not very serious, and the 305mm armor in the water line with a firm armor resisted the attack.
But one shot went through the edge of the chimney, and the explosion destroyed the smoke exhaust system. The crack caused by the crack ran around in the power cabin. The soldiers inside choked dozens of times like rats, but the repairs have not been completed. They were almost unable to move, and the water in the bow was causing the entire ship to slowly stick out his butt!
When he lands in such a field, he usually chooses to withdraw from the battle, but Yamaguchi Tatsuki has no choice! He must insist on being at the forefront of the battle. Behind him is the same model of the Hinaga, which quickly changes direction and leaves the opponent's attack area. In front, there are two Kikura-ei ships, "Nakamon" and "Muo" led by Commander Yamamoto, who represent the dignity of the imperial navy!
The Nagato, who was riding on the Nagato, was responsible for taking the initiative to fight the enemy and protecting the "Mui Ao" into the advantageous combat position!
The commander did it desperately. How could he escape at the last moment and give up easily? At worst, he would survive and die with the warship and die with fearless courage. When he fought to the end, he would definitely become a war god and be admired by all generations!
The "Ise" made a difficult adjustment of direction, gave up the idea of rushing straight to the other side or competing for speed, and despite the danger of staying in place, he would be attacked by two battleships, slowly turned the ship around. The two 356mm double-mounted turrets in the rear finally entered the maximum shooting angle. After the soldiers were desperately stable, they opened fire at the "Tarzan" that was forcing in!
"Boom! Boom!"
The two turrets were fired together less than a second apart. Four shells flew towards the target with more than a thousand alive soldiers with expectations. About 30 seconds later, the abominable opponent with simple and graceful lines in the telescope suddenly burst into a thick ball of fireworks!
The Japanese soldiers on half of the boat were stunned for a moment, and suddenly cheered and shouted: "I've hit it!"
Finally hit! From the start of the war to the present, more than 100 shells were fired in more than ten minutes, and finally hit the opponent. He sacrificed two or three hundred lives and half of his firepower and power were wasted. Even the captain and colonel were seriously injured, he actually hit! All their efforts were rewarded!
"Hurry up! Aim at that guy and keep shooting! Fight! Don't stop!"
Yamaguchi Dawen almost jumped off the bridge in excitement, punched the porthole, and was bleeding from the glass stubble. Perhaps he was too painful, or the medical soldier rushed up and gave the injection of morphine. He couldn't feel the pain at all, but he screamed happily and waved his fists hard and roared endlessly!
On the "Taishan", Wang Wenda looked at the rising fireworks outside and blurted out, "Damn, the Japanese's luck is too outrageous, right? Can you still hit me if you have such virtue?! Hurry up and see, what's the loss? Is it important?"
Not long after, the damage tube was reported, and an armor-piercing bomb hit the root of the turret that was about to open fire, and almost hit the deck. As a result, the shell with a very low speed and weighing 673.5 kilograms did not make any contribution. It even failed to break the composite armor on the surface of the turret, but was rebounded by the high-strength alloy on the surface. After it fell, it rolled out and exploded for more than ten meters. Instead, it exploded a double-equipped 127mm secondary cannon on the right front to fail on the spot. The explosion failed to destroy the armor protection, and the people inside were not seriously injured.
On the turret base, the depression caused by collision is about an inch deep, but it is slowly repaired under the tension of the metal layer itself...
"It's okay! I thought the Japanese would be lucky. It turned out that it was just that. No matter who he was, keep fighting! He was so heavy!"
When Wang Wenda heard that nothing big happened, except that the 50mm thick basalt fiberboard on the surface of the front deck was exploded and the deck underneath was intact and the main gun was safe and sound. He breathed a sigh of relief and felt very unhappy. He urged him to continue firing!
The Japanese army found that the torpedo attacks of light cruisers and destroyers did not work very well, and they were dragged by the destroyers of two heavy cruisers and other task forcees, so they could not help at all. In the head-on battle between giant ships and cannons, they were all foils, and they could only watch as both sides threw tons of steel and ** at each other.
A shot made Wang Wenda angry. He originally planned to cripple the other party, so he left it for the aircraft carrier and destroyer to clean up. He followed the flagship to chase other Japanese ships. This time he was hit, so he stopped and simply kept a distance of more than ten kilometers and fired at high speed.
Two minutes later, another round of volleys shot over, and two shells hit the "Ise" from the front and back. One shot rubbed the stern of the ship and broke a thruster, and a large hole was penetrated from under the keel at the tail. With a "boom", an explosion was completely destroyed, and the main engine was damaged. The bearing card owner of the other main shaft next door was deformed, and the chrysanthemum was seriously exploded.
Another shell exploded with Wang Wenda's usual level of luck. He drilled into the middle of the bridge just right, and a transparent hole was penetrated by an inclined leg. The shell pierced into the main structure of the bridge and exploded violently, destroying half of the side. The heavy upper half moaned and was about to break!
Yamaguchi Daowen lay down at the open window and stared out. Suddenly, a fire flashed in front of him. Large steel racks were spit out horizontally like chewed garbage. The violent tremor under his feet made him unable to control himself and roll to the ground again. When he got up, two more big bags were added on his head. The rolling smoke made the commander cough in the room.
The next moment, the sound of steel twisting and breaking on the bridge was heard, and the members of the command center who barely got up all changed their color and used their feet to know that the place they stayed in was absolutely unsafe! There was no need to wait until the warship sank, and when they "cracked" to break, they would fall down from a place dozens of meters high, and they would definitely smash hundreds of tons of steel into a sandwich pie!
Some of the command organizations hit by the shell were all finished, the observation post and shooting command system were basically paralyzed, and the turret below didn't know where to fire even if it wanted to aim and shoot. Most of the evil spirit in Yamaguchi's heart was blown away by the bombardment. Look at the rolling smoke rising behind, the strange sound from the main engine breaks, the strong water vapor that rushes away when the boiler explodes and pushes away the sea water, and the slowly balanced hull, which is being blasted by the explosion, can be easily on the deck...
He knew that his life and the ship had come to an end.
Even if there were shooting commanders, the two turrets could not aim at the fire when they were shaking violently. Yamaguchi Tatsuki calmed down and waved to the deputy captain and said, "You all leave! Tell others to evacuate immediately and stop attacking again. Being able to walk one more will be of the greatest help to the Imperial Navy."
The deputy captain choked and burst into tears. He coughed and shouted, "What about you?! Captain, keep a useful body and will avenge your shame in the future!"
Yamaguchi Tatsume shook his head firmly: "No! I can't be the escape captain, that will be a lifelong shame! I want to live and die with the warship!" (To be continued)!~!
Chapter completed!
