"Aw! God!"

The officers on the battleship Alabama let out a series of exclamations, but their voices were completely drowned by the fierce roar of the explosion. Only the panicked faces were left, and no one was illuminated by the fire that shot up into the sky.

The color is filled with despair!

No one would have thought that the latest powerful battleship, which had just joined the ranks of naval battles, would end up like this when it officially participated in the battle for the first time! In less than ten minutes, it was bombarded with four bombs. Such luck

, I just carried it home!

In the dark, the opponent's artillery fire was so accurate. So what kind of terrible situation would it be if it were daytime? Could it be that if more than a dozen shells were fired at a time, all of them would not hit?! That's ridiculous!

At the same time, they felt unhappy for a while. Why was the other party just staring at themselves and chasing after them? The Indiana not far away had been calm and steady, firing shells steadily, and seemed to be completely unnoticed.

In my eyes, this difference in treatment is too big!

Similar emotions only briefly flashed through everyone's mind, and were immediately overwhelmed by the tense situation in front of them! Seeing that there was nothing he could do, the captain made a prompt decision and ordered an immediate evasion. If the fight continued like this, more than two thousand people would have to be killed.

fish!

The Indiana discovered the trouble here, and took the initiative to move closer, trying to help cover the front, and at the same time strengthened contact with each other, so that the salvo could be fired more accurately.

But this process is too slow! On the sea, it would be extremely clumsy for a huge warship to turn around, and with a distance measured in kilometers, it would take time to get closer, and what they lack most is precious precious metal.

time!

In comparison, the Kunlun Mountain hit the target with artillery fire very easily. Vice-captain Zhang Tianhong smiled and praised: "Great shot! Just do it! I think if there are another seven or eight hits, the American soldiers will have to surrender their guns."

Surrendered!"

The corners of Sa Shijun's mouth curled up slightly, and he was too reserved to express his position. However, looking at his confident expression, he was obviously convinced of the result. He personally commanded the giant ship. He set out to meet the enemy for the second time, and under his command were the entire Chinese navy.

The best sailors and officers, if they can't deal with the little guy on the other side, it would be too embarrassing for their father! Let alone Commander Zhu's respect.

Well, proper praise is still necessary. He pondered for a while, then picked up the phone and said to the whole ship: "Everyone performed well. The enemy ship has completely entered our attack trap. When we seize the opportunity, we will completely defeat it in one go."

!”

"clear!"

Responses came from all the turrets and cic centers. Young officers and enthusiastic boys were shouting and screaming, almost showing their greatest enthusiasm and efficiency since their service, maximizing the firing efficiency of the three main turrets!

The Kunlun Mountain-class battleship basically does not need to consider the problem of being hit, whether it is in the air, at sea or underwater. At least so far, there is no weapon in the world that can pose a threat to her. So their only job is to try their best to

Fire the cannonballs more accurately if possible, and completely sink the enemy ship in the shortest time!

"Boom~~Buzz!"

The salvos were fired one after another, slowly and firmly, and each passionate eruption was like a volcanic eruption. The huge hull steadily withstood the recoil force of more than 10,000 tons. The unprecedentedly excellent artillery ensured the stability of the flight trajectory of the artillery shells, and

The pleasure of the final hit!

It was still the USS Alabama. This unlucky battleship was chosen to be the first salvo target because it was the closest and charged the hardest. As the distance between them gradually narrowed, her speed and maneuverability were at a disadvantage.

It was just that I was being ravaged. After finally changing speed and turning, I was shot again!

The shell was still fired at a steep angle. It blasted through the main armored belt from near the side and stern almost straight along the waterline. It penetrated steadily and exploded, destroying the main shaft of the left propeller.

The tearing force erupted, tearing out a large gaping hole in the stern, and one of the rudder plates was deformed. The forward speed and controllability of the entire battleship immediately dropped by an order of magnitude!

This is simply adding insult to injury! The damage control officers on the battleship were so shocked that the hairs on their bodies stood up. They knew very well what terrible consequences such damage meant - a battleship that lost power and steering capabilities, no matter how thick the armor was.

No matter how big the main gun is, it will definitely become a living target, an iron coffin! Even if the opponent comes with a small destroyer, it can easily beat them to death with torpedoes!

Emergency repair! It must be repaired in the shortest possible time!

However, their thoughts were obviously in vain and extravagant hope! Such a serious injury, even if it was dragged back to the shipyard and put on the slipway, it would not be possible to recover in ten days and a half, let alone in such a battle!

The fifth round, the sixth round... continuous shells, with the two Kunlun-class battleships always occupying the position, bombarded them in an orderly manner, until the fifteenth round, the Alabama hit a total of eleven

Fire armor-piercing rounds! Three turrets are useless

Two ships were lost. One of the boiler compartments was hit, causing an explosion and fire. The mainmast and lower middle part of the bridge were blown down. The radar was completely destroyed. The raging fires spread everywhere in the power cabin and on the deck. Several ships were destroyed.

Hundreds of sailors began to jump into the water!

The battleship is already in a semi-paralyzed state!

Immediately afterwards, the target was changed to another USS Indiana!

At this time, this battleship of the same model finally moved into position, barely using its own body to block half of its companions, and lay about three kilometers to the left, less than 18 kilometers away from the opponent. Theoretically, this was

Excellent range for firing strikes.

In fact, the Indiana was indeed trying hard to do that. After more than ten rounds of salvos, facing the Kunlun-class battleship that did not make any evasions at all, the Americans basically found the best shooting points and fired the salvos.

It looked like the cannonball hit the opponent without any doubt, and the explosion of fireworks illuminated the huge body of more than 60,000 tons, but the damage it caused in the end... no matter how you looked at it, it seemed like it was useless!

"This is unscientific! No matter how powerful a warship is in the world, it is impossible to remain indifferent when faced with a 406mm armor-piercing projectile! This must be an illusion!"

Whether it was the captain, the gunnery commander, or the gunners at each gun position, they all exclaimed incomprehensibly! They all knew how powerful their shells were. Within 20 kilometers, they can definitely penetrate more than 400mm.

Capability! If the opponent's waterline main armor may exceed such data, what about the horizontal armor? What about the turret canopy? What about the secondary battery protection? What about the exposed radar and mast? The chimney... okay.

Didn't see it.

But no matter what, it is impossible to hit multiple artillery shells, and there will be no impact at all!

Faced with a strange situation that cannot be understood, no matter how calm a person is, he will have doubts about himself and his confidence will be shaken. Even if he grits his teeth firmly and continues to work, he still has to think about what is going on!

When the mood is agitated, people with weak mental and willpower begin to perform abnormally!

First, the radar soldiers, who were repeatedly proven to be extremely poor, reported more and more accurate coordinate data time and time again, but after being bombarded by naval guns, they were proven to be completely unreliable. They collapsed first!

Then came the lookout post, holding a high-power telescope, using the flash of the explosion to search for the opponent's true figure with eyes wide open, and make an assessment. Obviously, more than once, he saw that the shells fired from his side were on the opponent's hull.

The explosion even hit the turret, but the subsequent blow from the opponent seemed not to be affected at all!

They were also a little unconfident! In the end, even the captain, gunnery commander and others once doubted whether they had been firing at a phantom? If not, how to explain the sudden failure of the 1-ton armor-piercing projectile?!

Chaotic emotions spread within the ship. But at this moment, the opponent finally turned the gun's muzzle and aimed at them, killing them!

The whistling volleys of artillery shells fell from the sky densely. The impact point of the volley of eighteen artillery shells was actually no more than 500 meters away! The spread left and right was only about one or two hundred meters. It was no longer than the length of a battleship.

This means that as long as the high and low angles are accurate, you can definitely hit or cause a near miss!

The Indiana had no chance to dodge. The shell accurately hit the bow of the ship. It hit the front of the rotating A turret from the front deck and almost passed through the starboard side. The explosion opened up a large steel plate and blew away countless surfaces.

The teak wood bulges out a big bump on the side!

Such a close explosion made the soldiers in turret A deafen their ears at the time. The shock was so great that the direction and pitch angle of the already adjusted gun positions were immediately disrupted, and they temporarily lost their ability to strike.

This was just the beginning of the disaster! Less than a minute later, the second round of shells followed! This time, an armor-piercing shell penetrated from above the midships into the root of the bridge, blasting away the external sandbags, composite armor, and the main steel plate.

Entering the cabin, more than a dozen crewmen were blown to pieces on the spot, and the building on top was blown away. The large hole blasted out caused a torch dozens of meters high to shoot upwards, which was a spectacular sight!

Such damage was far from enough to make a battleship with a standard platoon of more than 35,000 tons surrender. They could continue to fight. However, the commander of the task force, Rear Admiral Spruance, sensed something was wrong and ordered the entire fleet: "The Chinese

Their purpose is not to attack Midway Island! Their real intention is to take advantage of the night and attempt to completely kill us! All ships, disperse and retreat immediately, don't get entangled with them!"

He saw it very accurately, but it was too late! In a sudden battle that lasted less than half an hour, most of the destroyers following the battleship were killed by subsonic anti-ship missiles! One battleship became a living target.

Even the Indiana is in danger!

The accompanying light cruiser was also anxious at this time and rushed forward desperately, releasing swarms of torpedoes one after another towards the opposite side. At the same time, the two heavy cruisers saw that the situation was not good and decisively withdrew and prepared to escape, but at this moment,

Seven or eight of the opponent's weird destroyers suddenly appeared in the darkness of the night, and another group of anti-ship missiles came rushing towards them from both wings like a rain of arrows!

The encirclement has been completed!

This maneuvering speed is really amazing! And these destroyers, which only have one twin 127mm turret, are even more astonishingly courageous! With the thickness of their armor defense, they cannot withstand the 203mm main gun of the opponent's heavy cruiser.

They just rushed up!

However, they did not act recklessly. The entire battlefield was attracted by the battleship bombardment. No one expected that this group of clever little guys would take risks and act as real killers, surrounding enemies several times their size on both sides.

A powerful opponent!

Of course, they have enough confidence. The stealth hull makes it difficult for the poor primitive radar of the US warships to detect them at close range; the unique anti-ship missiles directly offset the power of the opponent's main gun, and has an incredible

To get a high first hit rate, you only need to double the launch volume. It’s hard even if you don’t think it’s brilliant!

The anti-ship missiles fired in pairs first hit the two heavy cruisers! We accurately found out from the few remaining American ships, and one of them fired four missiles, one after the other.

Hit the tail!

An anti-ship missile that can seriously damage a battleship. Dealing with a weakly armored heavy cruiser is like chopping up melons and vegetables! The heavy cruiser USS Pensacola bore the brunt, and was hit by three missiles at the stern, bridge and chimney root.

The serial armor-piercing warhead can easily tear apart steel plates

, sending cylindrical 75 kilograms of explosives in, and the continuous explosion spray almost made a transparent hole in the front and rear of the hull. Thousands of tons of steel, mixed with molten juice, swept across half of the hull, and the stern was even more torn.

Open a big hole and spit out a stream of fire!

This heavy cruiser was immediately half disabled! The rear turret was completely destroyed, and its power dropped sharply. It was extremely difficult to fight back!

On the other end, the light cruiser USS Atlanta suffered the same fate! Compared to the former, she was much more miserable. She was targeted by six anti-ship missiles launched by two destroyers. Four of them hit the center, destroying the keel on the spot and detonating the ammunition depot.

, the power cabin was shattered, and the earth-shaking explosion exploded into three pieces on the spot, causing countless casualties!

The other heavy cruiser was not much better. The insidious guy who flew close to the sea opened three holes along the waterline in one go. Metal jets were sprayed in and burned. The warhead exploded and caused damage, causing half of the damage on the spot.

Paralyzed, the sides were flooded, the ship was tilted severely, and it was impossible to move!

If you don't make a sound, that's it. If you make a blockbuster, if you don't make a move, it will be like thunder!
To be continued...
