Chapter 670 East China Sea War (26) Giant Cannon Bombing 5!

Yamamoto Iroji landed on a modified aircraft carrier that pretended to be the "Sora Dragon". He temporarily raised the commander's flag to serve as a flagship. Why didn't he dare to continue to stay on the battleship - God knows whether the opponent regards the battleship level as the primary target of the attack. If two more secret strikes are made, wouldn't it take his life?

Strangely, the opponent seemed to be very scarce to attack, and there was no new strike within an hour, which made him suspicious. The two battleships dodged left and right, and sailed in a straight line without any effort. The curved zigzag tracks made looked a bit funny.

"Can you say that such attack methods are very expensive and difficult to achieve? Even with the opponent's ability, it cannot be achieved in large quantities?"

Yamamoto Iroku was suspicious. According to his idea, if he mastered such a method, he would never need to consider it. He would definitely use it to the end, maximize the killing effect, and cause major damage to the opponent in the shortest time.

Any secret weapon, as long as it is released once, is no longer an ulterior motive of mystery. It must be studied and figured out by the opponent. Therefore, it is common sense to put its functions to the limits from the beginning.

The other party did not follow the blow, so can they not last?

Chief of Staff Furuhara carefully put forward his opinion: "The development of scientific and technological weapons cannot be achieved overnight. The development of the Chinese Navy is too fast and obviously does not conform to the law of gradual progress. Even if this is a brand new powerful means, there will not be too many, and the price should be extremely expensive!"

General Izuru Yamamoto was skeptical. He really didn't have a very accurate judgment on the opponent in front of him. The opponent's endless means were incredible, and he could not guess. However, from a hostile standpoint, I hope the other party has only such ability!

The flocking fleet of flight teams did not obtain good fighter jets. The opponent's perverted rocket weapon with high accuracy showed its power in the area around ten kilometers. Without waiting for Japan's powerful fighter jets to reach within five thousand meters, they rushed up and killed them. The losses were so heavy that it was really terrible.

After an hour, more than 200 fighter jets taken off from four aircraft carriers were killed and less than fifty were left. The living were basically frightened. A few of them rushed to the front and suddenly found that the other party's maneuverability and speed seemed to have no limit. They always pressed them tightly!

The unfazed warship finally got closer. Both sides and naturally left the aircraft carrier. Wang Wenda even left two light patrols and four destroyers, leaving only one light patrol as the guide, and under the escort of the two heavy patrols, he rushed to the distance between the artillery battles, without waiting for the Japanese army on the opposite side to make more reactions, the upgraded 406 artillery took the lead in firing according to the data of radar locking and long-range calibration of early warning aircraft!

The upgraded turret is not only five times longer. When using the same shell, the optimized and improved launching medicine increases the range from 33 kilometers to 38 kilometers, and the terrible data that the maximum loading limit can reach 43 kilometers. It surpasses the Japanese "Nagom-class" battleship main gun for the first time, and temporarily ranks first in the world!

The bigger improvement is precise shooting fire control. It no longer fires nine gun barrels together as soon as they start, and then uses less than three percent of the hit rate to avoid being hit, which makes it exciting to jump when it crosses. Today's 406 main gun has updated performance!

In the CIC center of the "Songshan" battleship, the gun captain Wang Xuechun stood straight behind the main console, grabbed both sides of the arc control panel with both hands, and his eyes fell on the target enemy ship locked by the radar, and the warning aircraft overlapped signals, and gave a steady order: "A turret armor gun. One shot to schedule and fire!"

The gunner pressed the red button in response to the sound. The hull immediately shook slightly, and a dull loud noise came.

The A-turret in the front of the battleship turned right and stood horizontally ninety degrees. The outermost main gun was raised high to 48 degrees. The thick body tube was violently and then stumbled, and a strong firework spewed out more than ten meters long. A 1225 kilogram armor-piercing bomb roared out at a speed of 750 meters, and disappeared in a flash!

Almost at the same time, on the "Huashan" about two kilometers away from the rear, a shell was launched less than a second behind. Under the control of the unified intelligent combat system of the fleet, the precise calculation of the coordinates of the enemy ship fully considers and takes into account various data such as the direction, speed, Earth's curvature, air resistance, etc., and even the rhythm of the ship's swing with the waves and the offset caused by the water surface in front are calculated. It is almost the same as the preparations of the army's sniper before firing!

The slowly rotating shells flew for dozens of seconds, from the initial speed of more than twice the speed of sound to the end subsonic speed, and even the storage speed of less than Mach 0.5 more than 30 kilometers away. If various complex calculations were not assisted by computer intelligence, they would be exhausted just by relying on people.

But the two shells are completely different now. They span the airspace of more than 30 kilometers and almost exceed the limit of the top of the ship's vision. The two shells shot at the aimed "Hirui" at one time at an accurate angle of almost miracle. They fell into the sea water on the front and on the right only less than 200 meters away from the other side, splashing two shiny water columns. The 18 kilograms of high-explosion** blasted smoke was blown by the strong wind and went directly to the deck of the warship!

"Nah?! Did the Chinese warship actually fire in advance? It's still so accurate. Could it be that it's inaccurate?!"

Captain Abe Takajo was suddenly scared and sweated. Especially the smoke and strong water mist blown in through the porthole, choking him almost suffocated, and even more frightened!

Isn't it said that it is still 35 kilometers away from the enemy ship! At such a distance, firing a gun is equivalent to wasting ammunition, and there is not even a one-percent probability. Moreover, this is also the range limit of the 356mm main gun of the "Kingang-class" battleship. The medicine room with a lifespan of only 90 rounds is really precious. No matter what the situation is, the warships of the Japanese Navy will not be so chaotic!

It was just two shells, which was really suspicious! If the other party had already aimed at this ship, wouldn’t it be that nine cannons should have been fired in a salvo?!

No matter what, this is not a good sign! Abe Takasuke immediately ordered: "The left rudder of this ship is 70, serpentine changes direction, speed is 26, move forward!"

It is better to believe that there is something than to believe that there is nothing! The other party has a way to sink the two ships of "Namen" across a hundred kilometers. Now that they are forced into such a distance, there will definitely be other tricks!

He was really guessing it right! Two shells were shot in the air, which was the most normal thing to shoot in the battleship. After the cross-fire was formed, according to the general rules, it was to directly cover the volley without saying a word, and it would be possible to hit the target in just a few rounds. With the performance of the opponent's new battleship, I'm afraid that the next round of shells would be bombarded without a minute!

But the two ships "Songshan" are not satisfied!

The splashes of the shells and the position of the enemy ships were clearly visible on the screen. Such a probability was actually enough to continue the attack, but Wang Xuechun was still not satisfied. She quietly waited to see the Japanese ship "Hirui" make a snake-shaped maneuver, turning to the inside and tilt away from the original trajectory, until the opponent completed the first large S-shaped curve and was turning back, his hand quickly tapped about four hundred meters in front of him, and shouted: "abc turret, No. 2 bullet, No. 3 loading, free correction, four volleys, and fire!"

The nine main guns roared in response, and the huge recoil force caused the heavy hull of more than 40,000 tons to move across the water for more than thirteen meters. The trembling gun barrel slowly fell down without further trimming. The white steam poured out from the muzzle, clearing off the internal residue, and quickly cooling the gap. The second shell was quickly loaded under the work of the automatic bomb lifter. It was raised again, maintaining its previous angle and continuing to fire!

The "Huashan" followed by its shells, and eighteen 406mm armor-piercing bombs were arranged in three uniformly spaced curves and whistled out. At a delay of one thousandth, the loud noise sounded like a sound, but the slight deviation caused by the tremor just kept the overall uniform and constant after preset correction. Even if it flew out for more than 30 kilometers, the deviation between the landing points did not exceed 300 meters!

The old hull of Hiei is not easy to maneuver in snake shape, because of its usual high bridge design style and the natural shortcomings of light armor. This guy who was originally a heavy cruiser has become more powerful after three modifications. Similarly, the loss of the power system and the overall stability make it unable to swing and change directions as freely as the new cruiser.

The speed of 25 knots was rotated left and right, causing the warship to sway. Abe Takasuke was very glad that this was in the gentle East China Sea, and the low tide that the storm had just passed. The waves were extremely small. Otherwise, if he did this, he would have capsized even if he didn't make a good deal!

A bomber who rushed forward to prepare for bombing but was frightened by the terrifying anti-aircraft artillery fire found smoke from the battleship's volley from altitude. He immediately called to remind him with a radio call. Colonel Abe was very calm. According to the usual naval battle method, the opponent aimed at the landing point he had just tested, right? Now, if he ran out of three hundred meters, he should have escaped from the other party's aiming area---In other words, it is not a good thing to be too accurate when the giant cannon bombarded! The heavy turret and the unstable sea surface, it is not so easy to change the shooting of the elements!

He looked back and looked back. On the side two kilometers away, "Kijima" was lowering its speed to try to disrupt the opponent's aim. The roar from the sky was like a train passing through a tunnel, steadily over the sound of the warship's engine. Colonel Abe clearly saw with his naked eyes that more than a dozen black dots lined up in a stable and uniform formation falling obliquely from the west sky, but the direction was his ship!

"Impossible!" Abe Takajo screamed in grief and anger just as he let out his 18 armor-piercing bombs crashed down!

Just like a chess piece that a powerful thug has mercyed from the air, the landing points of the eighteen shells are arranged into a square kilometer front and back, and the probability shooting mode is a sure-fire mode, locking the "Hirui" firmly in the middle, and two of the shells hit the target directly with excellent luck!

ps: I drank a little too much last night, but I fell asleep as I wrote... I made up for it in the third update today!
