Chapter 495 Battleship Showdown (8)

The common problem of Japanese warships' innate design and construction is that their stability is too poor! The high center of gravity causes them to be unable to fight against too bad sea conditions, and they are even more afraid of one-sided water inflow overturning!

Even in the "Youhe Incident", the entire ship weighing hundreds of tons was overturned and destroyed. However, by accident, in 1935, because the fleet was dispatched to block the two main battleships returning to China, the Japanese army did not conduct large-scale maritime exercises, so the "Fourth Fleet Incident" did not occur. Therefore, one was an update on the structural design of the warship, and the other was a debate on welding technology and riveting technology. This led to a series of completely different changes later!

For example, now, the "Namen" battleship, which has undergone a modern and large-scale modification within two years, has not changed its original problem at all. Two consecutive rounds of shells caused the side to hit the shell, causing the hull to tilt rapidly over 30 degrees. The people in the bridge commander's room are almost unable to stand firm!

Someone had already yelled and ordered the starboard water to pull back to balance, but the speed, which was not very good, slowed down again, and the rotation was even more inflexible, making it difficult to keep up with the other party's maneuver.

Yamamoto Iroku almost used all his tricks to get such a result. He was depressed, but after staring at his opponent for dozens of seconds, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Did you find out that the speed of the enemy ship seems to have slowed down!"

The others did not dare to neglect. After hurriedly confirming with the lookout on the top of the tower, they smiled happily and nodded vigorously: "Yes! The speed of the Chinese warships has indeed slowed down! It must be the shelling just now that their thrusters were damaged. This is great good news!"

The feeling of being beaten with a head is very bad. No one likes this. The other party was actually destroyed by the crucial power system. A group of people immediately found a psychological balance point, and even a little bit encouraging and enthusiastic!

But looking back, I still advised Yamamoto Izuru: "Commander! Given the very bad situation of the warship, you should transfer to 'Muo' immediately!"

Continue to move forward? Yamamoto Izuru was so tired that as the commander of the fleet, he was beaten and moved continuously within half a day. There was no one who was not unlucky wherever he passed, and it was simply a disaster star auspicious! Are these guys worried that they would be implicated in the flagship and be sank by the other party?

This is not impossible! Who made this the "Namen" a symbol of the Imperial Japanese Navy, the cradle of the commander of the navy and the senior commander of the Navy Department, the general's only way. Every navy's need is started with the captain of the "Namen". If he sank the other party, he cannot explain it!

The navy is not his Yamamoto Izuru's navy or warship, nor is it his warship! It did not affect the survival of the empire until the juncture of life and death, because a battle sank the Kikuma flagship, he was so guilty!

"All right!"

Yamamoto Iroku agreed helplessly. When the current situation is right, it is really not appropriate to stay. Including the situation of "Navon Gate", it will definitely be over if it continues. Since the tactical mobilization has been completed, it is OK to make appropriate adjustments.

The plan was not as fast as the change, so the commander made a quick decision. He hurriedly got off the bridge with his staff, got on the boat from the right and rushed towards the "Luo".

At the same time, the escort heavy patrols and other auxiliary ships rushing over like swarms, and the main guns and torpedoes of various caliber were sprayed out like money. The opponent's power was damaged, which was a good opportunity to hit the dog in the water!

The explosion in the rear caused complete damage to the power, and the raging fire began to spread upward from the bottom cabin, and soon it completely swept across the entire ship. The captain Ugaki Chan ordered the abandonment of the ship!

At this moment, after several days of circles, Yoshida Shingo's second team, who had been working hard but still couldn't catch up, finally arrived!

At this time, the old Japanese face was gloomy like June Tian. The bad news that came from successively made him arrogant and was about to be promoted to the Navy. The Imperial Navy, who is likely to become the next minister, almost couldn't hold back! The "Navon Gate" almost killed him, "Ise" sank, and "Hyuga" burned in front of his eyes. Who will be next?!

In addition, four aircraft carriers were finished, two were seriously injured and dying, and the dignified Imperial Navy was almost ravaged to death by the fledgling Chinese Navy. How can you face the Chinese people and the emperor like this?

Unforgivable!

After such a big trouble, my old classmate, Commander Irosaki Yamamoto, is afraid it will be difficult for him to become the next official commander of the joint fleet! The stain is too big and it is almost impossible to wash it off! The only chance is to do your best to kill all the enemies in front of you!

The distance between them is within the range of the main gun. Yoshida Shingo gritted his teeth and ordered: "All main guns face the Chinese warships, and at the fastest speed, they will focus on fire and strike!"

The four battleships "Fusang, Yama Castle, Hiei, Kirishima" now form a tight vertical line under his command. The main gun comes across and can be aimed at the southward enemy.

At this time, the three main battleships of the task force, the flagship "Hengshan" on the eastmost side, was the farthest, about 24 kilometers, and the one that went north in parallel was the "Taishan" about 17 kilometers away from the Japanese ship. In addition, 10 kilometers away from the west, the "Huashan" that hedged to the east with the Japanese fleet, with a parallel distance of only 13 kilometers!

From the perspective of formation, the Japanese ships undoubtedly occupy an excellent angle and can sail forward while firing the gun without delaying it. The lethality of 40 356mm main guns of four warships is not something that can be easily dealt with for anyone.

A wise choice is probably to turn around and run away. In that case, some shells will be hit behind your butt, but those with thick skin may be able to live for a longer time.

But Chen Shaokuan coldly swept over the enemy-to-me situation chart and ordered: "The three ships are transformed into formations in parallel and attack the Japanese army in an staggered manner!"

This means that he and the other two warships had to change from vertical course to parallel eastward, and at an average distance of more than ten kilometers, they had escort heavy patrols with four Japanese main battleships, and face to face with the main guns with all their strength! That scene was like before the 19th century, when the sailing warships era, two groups of people and horses were passing by with simple boreholes across hundreds of yards, and fired from the side with all their strength!

Such a shelling posture is simply a matter of character. In the end, who has a thicker shell, who has better luck, and who can persist until the moment the other party is beaten with holes all over his body!

Not only was Wang Wenda not worried, but instead shouted fanatically: "I have been waiting for this day for a long time! Brothers, come on!" (To be continued)!~!
