#697 besieged the Second Fleet (fifteen)
"If this continues, there will be big problems! If not, the fleet will collapse!"
Nagumo Chu watched with helpless eyes as the "Owari" was beaten until it was covered in smoke in just a few minutes. Most of the firepower suddenly stopped, and it was bumping crookedly among the waves. It was difficult to even aim and launch.
My heart couldn't help but sink, and an unpleasant feeling suddenly arose.
The gap in the strike capabilities of the two sides is not a huge difference, but several times. From the density of the shells and the distribution of impact points, it can be clearly seen that the other party has extraordinary control capabilities, and it is not the same as in previous legends or his personal experience.
, compared to the Pacific naval battle, it was more precise and steady, as if a veteran with many years of experience was operating the entire fleet in an orderly manner!
The confidence that he would surely win in his heart dissipated as quickly as a punctured balloon. Nagumo Chuichi felt more and more unlucky. When another round of shells fell, he ignored his flagship which was more than one kilometer behind.
, still covering the "Owari", and hit the deck again, causing damage from the penetrating explosion. After paralyzing the C turret, he immediately issued an order: "'Owari' immediately withdrew from the battle, and worked with 'Suruga' to break out of the encirclement."
Go back to your homeland!”
The communications commander almost thought he had made a mistake, because based on his experience, he would only voluntarily withdraw when he was really outmatched. It had just begun, and to actually issue such an order, this was done with bravery, determination, fearlessness and fierceness.
The famous Commander Nagumo?
Nagumo was not happy with such an order, and scolded him with a sullen face: "What are you doing standing still?! Do you want to watch the 'Owari' be completely sunk by the Chinese?! You must know that the order we accepted is to return to the homeland as soon as possible.
!This is the resolution of the Admiralty!"
"Hi! Got it!"
At this time, I remembered the decision of the Navy Ministry. Earlier, Commander Yamamoto informed us that he must return at all costs, but you, the old man, insisted on breaking up with the East China Sea Fleet first. It would be best if you can kill a few battleships, and give the navy a lot of help.
Taking a breath...Does this count as running away from the wind?
If we had resolutely retreated from the beginning, even if the East China Sea Fleet tried to stop it, with the strength of the Second Fleet, the chance of forcing it out was very high. But at that time, not only Nagumo Chuichi, but the entire fleet felt it was a shame; after all,
The tragic scene when Commander Yamamoto personally carried out the mission of luring the enemy at the beginning made countless of them burst into tears!
But that’s okay, it’s better than stupidly trying to withstand the opponent’s fire and getting beaten one-sidedly!
The light signal was fired from the top. The structure of the "Owari" was at least strong enough and it did not lose control. Although the captain Tanaka Yorizo did not fully understand Nagumo's change of mentality, he also knew the danger he faced, and he might not be able to withstand more.
Multiple rounds of shells will probably kill the opponent before they hit it.
So he executed the order simply and resolutely, and the intact power system of the "Owari" ran at full power. He flicked his tail to push away the sea water and turned due east. This change of formation happened to avoid the next round of cannonballs.
Shoot, luckily one shot missed.
The "Suruga" turned together from the rear, formed a new detachment under the escort of two heavy cruisers, three second-class light cruisers, and multiple destroyers and penetrated directly into the belly of the East China Sea Fleet.
In comparison, the ships of the East China Sea Fleet were sparse and pitiful. Wang Wenda saw clearly through the telescope and couldn't help but wonder: "What are you kiddos doing? Are you trying to combine points after being beaten like this?"
"It's not like that! Are they planning to run away? If they continue to fight, they will suffer big losses!" Fu Zhenhua made a keen judgment.
Wang Wenda sneered at this behavior: "When did they learn to be flexible? It's rare! But the fat guy I'm targeting, just stay here! Concentrate your firepower and kill him first!"
Take advantage of his illness and kill him! The overcooked duck still wants to fly away? What a dream!
"clear!"
This is the kind of order a group of young artillerymen likes to hear the most. Using the anti-ship missile Shenma's secret weapon to attack is so un-navy style. The bayonets are red and the giant cannons are blasting each other. That's the true nature of a man!
The two ships "Songshan" turned around in response, biting each other and turning all three turrets to take aim. The two ships "Taishan" gradually formed a hedging pattern with the two ships "Taishan" in the distance, and the shells became denser again and pursued the "Owari" relentlessly.
Hit hard!
Nan Yunzhong was furious. Are you looking down on me? You actually dare to show your anus directly in front of you. Do you think that my cannon is just a decoration and cannot be hardened or exploded?
The squadron led by the second ship "Owari" that left the group formed a ninety-degree angle with the main fleet. Wang Wenda took the lead and cut across its tail, and it would inevitably pass through the waist and abdomen of the two ships "Ki". Naturally,
Putting himself in an extremely unfavorable position while the opponent continued to maintain his course, this made Nagumo Chuichi ecstatic!
The distance between the two sides suddenly shortened to about 26 kilometers. The naked-eye aiming of the "Ki" and the two ships finally came in handy. The excited Japanese naval soldiers perked up, gritted their teeth, took aim, and fired with a bang, forming a straddle fire at once.
Military morale has soared!
The dense explosions roared up on the side, and the momentum looked amazing. Wang Wenda was unmoved, and he clung to the "Owari" and the two ships without letting go, drawing a beautiful large arc on the sea, and successfully formed a sharp arc with them.
After making an angle, they fired a loud salvo, converging the heavy artillery shells of the two "Taishan" ships and hitting the unlucky guy again!
This time the attack was too accurate! Due to the deceleration and hedging, the distance between the two sides was closer than the other one, almost 20 kilometers. The armor-piercing ability of the giant cannon was fully utilized, and the shells fired at high speed and large angles were rapidly fired at the end.
Falling, forming a steep trajectory, accurate
In the middle and lower part of the "Owari" bridge, capped armor-piercing projectiles with over 500mm armor-piercing capabilities have amazing penetrating power. They tear open the two layers of armor on the surface with great force, fly away thick sandbags, and penetrate the two middle cabins in one go, crushing them along the way.
It shattered more than a dozen Japanese soldiers and exploded!
The majestic bridge jumped up in response and was almost lifted up. Most of the technical officers and junior officers working inside were thrown up on the spot, swaying around, or hitting their heads with blood, and the entire command system was paralyzed for a while!
Looking from the outside, smoke billows from the bridge of the "Owari", and the eye-catching large hole looks like the mouth of a giant beast. People are constantly running out with their bodies on fire, jumping to the top of the turret below, and screaming in agony.
lung!
The tragedy was not over! Immediately after, a salvo hit its stern rudder from the side, and at the same time deformed a propeller. The battleship suddenly remained in a straight posture. It could no longer evade, and its speed plummeted by a large margin.
cut.
At the same time, there was also a shell that formed a water-floating bomb from behind the midships. The high-speed and low-level ballistic strike directly penetrated the armored belt about one meter below the waterline, blasted open the second compartment and then exploded! On the hull
A hole with a diameter of two meters was made, and cracks extended to both sides. Seawater poured in violently, causing the ship to tilt, and the speed dropped to less than 20 knots!
"No more running!"
Wang Wenda held a big cigar in his mouth with satisfaction and squinted his eyes in contempt. In this state, the enemy ship that had basically lost its combat effectiveness was dead. However, it took nearly ten rounds of cannonballs fired at it, and it took hundreds of rounds to end up like this.
, it seems that the naval gun bombardment is really not very effective.
"Boom!" A shell suddenly flew over and passed over the surface of the trapezoidal main structure under the bridge. The projectile carried huge kinetic energy and scratched a half-meter-deep depression at the corner, and the nearby composite armor collapsed.
A large piece, the shock brought by the huge force caught Wang Wenda off guard, and the soot fell on the white and straight military uniform. Then, the shell exploded when it fell into the water, and a shining water column was set off from the side spin, and rushed onto the battleship!
"Holy shit!" Wang Wenda swayed, threw away his cigar, and hit his clothes hard. But can the dirty stains be removed? A few pieces of Hui Bu pulled him stuck to it, which was very conspicuous!
I'm so angry! You dare to dirty my military uniform. I'm so stupid that I don't want to live anymore!
Wang Wenda was furious. He looked at the radar tracking and saw that the shells were fired from the flagship of the "Kii". He ordered unceremoniously: "Prepare anti-ship missiles! Target the enemy's flagship and fire two salvos!"
On the other side, Xie Gangzhe, who was about to overlap with him, also noticed the situation here and couldn't help laughing: "You kid has finally gone too far, right? The Japanese Navy has been practicing for half a century, how can you despise it? Be practical.
Let’s fight according to the predetermined strategy!”
Wang Wenda gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "You have to say this first! By the way, let's try how lethal our anti-ship missiles are against this new ship!"
Xie Gangzhe didn't object, he actually wanted to know.
Not long after, the rows of protruding upper covers on the rear deck of the "Songshan" quietly slid sideways, and two sturdy figures rushed out of the exposed black hole. They made a big turn in the air and pounced straight.
Towards the sun!
All other guidance strategies within this distance are omitted, and the laser and fire control radar are directly used for double locking. The missile that flashes away pulls out a dazzling beam of light in the night. It looks no different from an oversized tracer bullet. You are not blind.
Can see clearly!
That long silhouette that was accelerating crazily in a straight line was too conspicuous. Nagumo Chuichi realized it all at once, his eyes tightened and his mouth trembled involuntarily - was this the secret weapon that killed the "Nagato" and three other battleships?
!Is this such a scene?!
Before he could get any more exclamations, two "Lance" anti-ship missiles plunged down from low altitude and hit the huge hull of the "Kii"!
One round penetrated the rear of the bridge from the side, completely cutting off the 140mm secondary turret. The tandem armor-piercing warhead directly broke through the double-layer armor and entered the lower cabin. The 500-kilogram high-explosive gun suddenly vaporized. In an instant, "Jiu Ji"
A dazzling flash of light with a diameter of a hundred meters rose up from the middle and rear of the "I", and then the C turret was shattered together with the large deck next to it. The huge fireball set off thousands of tons of steel fragments and roared in all directions!
Chapter completed!
