Chapter 190 Unbeatable!
Before the No. 13 gun position commanded by Captain Hiraoka Inuta had time to fire, the battleship began to rock continuously.
This seriously affects the aiming of the cannon!
Although they were more than 200 meters away from the main gun, the explosion of a shell weighing more than 300 kilograms still made them feel a tremor from the bottom of their hearts.
There are many cabins between the main gun and them, so the fragments and shrapnel generated by the explosion did not splash here.
This made them lucky that none of the Japanese were injured.
The "Izumo" finally calmed down after a period of violent shaking.
Captain Hiraoka Inuta shouted an order: "Aim!"
Nobita Noze, Ryunosuke Tegoshi and the others were still adjusting parameters even when the battleship was shaking just now.
At this time, we are ready to fine-tune the parameters again.
"Report! Ready!"
All the Japanese in the artillery left the cannon and hid on the edge.
"put!"
Utada Tsubasa pulled the rope hard and there was a "Boom!" sound, and the cannonball flew out.
This was the first cannonball flying in the direction of Wei Mingyang and the others.
The shells landed far behind Wei Mingyang and the others, with a distance of at least one or two kilometers.
"Barracks! The Japanese dared to fire at us!" Yang Dazhu was angry.
In his opinion: if the enemy fires artillery at the camp, the Japanese will suffer, and it is wrong to fight back.
"It was fired from the penultimate gun position at the right stern of the ship." Yang Dazhu continued to report.
He saw very clearly, remembered clearly, and reported very clearly.
Wei Mingyang and Lu Fei had just fired twelve cannonballs in a row. At this time, they stopped and observed which cannon they were going to fire next, when they heard Yang Dazhu's complaint.
Wei Mingyang understood immediately and said to Lu Fei: "Continue!"
This time he no longer sent three cannon shells to each gun position, but started from the bow of the ship and sent only one cannon shell to each gun position.
"Barracks! Why don't you blow up the Japanese who are attacking us first?" Yang Dazhu was anxious.
"It just fired its cannon, and it's impossible to fire a second shot for a while.
Of course, we need to attack those that haven't fired yet.
From those gun positions that were not fired just now, a shell can be fired at any time." Wei Mingyang explained unhurriedly.
He never shows off to his subordinates, and talks about things directly to their faces.
Yang Dazhu suddenly understood: That's right! The camp is still wise, whoever is hit first will be hit later, and everyone will be lined up.
At this time, mortars kept exploding from the artillery positions in the river, like firecrackers, exploding in rows one after another.
Some gun positions have no reaction after being hit, but some gun positions can cause explosive explosions!
Captain Hiraoka Inuta on the 13th gun position saw the shells flying far away, and quickly ordered: "Lower the altitude by three meters, reload!"
Ryunosuke Tegoshi hurriedly pushed the loading cart and ran out to pull the shells. The shells of a 150 mm caliber naval gun weighed more than 100 kilograms, and they were pushed on a special cart.
Captain Hiraoka Inuta watched the gun emplacement in front of him being bombed, and his heart burst into flames.
He kept urging: "Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!"
Fortunately, its artillery position was not hit by bombs for the time being, so it was even more anxious.
Ryunosuke Tegoshi's movements did not speed up because of the squad leader's urging. He had not yet sent the cannonballs.
Captain Hiraoka Inuta was already at the artillery position and was blown away along with the Japs like Nobita Noze and Tsubasa Utada.
Although the 82mm mortar could not cause much damage to the deck and side of the battleship "Izumo", it was absolutely unambiguous to deal with a mortal body like the Japanese.
Wei Mingyang sent a shell to each gun position one after another before starting the second round of last-ditch attacks.
At this time, Commander Kiyoshi Hasegawa had been dragged into the cabin by the escort and dragged below the deck.
These guards are all professional, and they are also calm: through this observation.
They already knew that the attack on the "Izumo" was just a mortar, and the power of this gun was not too great. At least its shells did no damage to the deck at all.
It is safe to hide below the deck at this time.
The battleship "Izumo" was already blazing with flames, but the mortar bombardment continued.
Wei Mingyang wanted to ensure that every cannon on the battleship would be blown up.
He waited until the smoke from the entire battleship enveloped the entire ship, making it impossible to see the gun emplacements.
Then the next target was changed: those destroyers that had lost their power and were drifting with the tide.
The destroyer "Tianlong" completely lost power during Wei Mingyang's second round of bombing, and a raging fire broke out on the destroyer.
Under the command of Captain Yuzo Miyazawa, the open fire was finally put out at this time.
Captain Yuzo Miyazawa ignored the high temperature on the gun emplacement where the fire had just been extinguished and was already issuing an order: "Everyone is here! Fire at the artillery positions on the shore immediately."
He also ordered signalman Kanta Sakurai: "Immediately send an order to the other ships: stop all work and concentrate firepower to destroy the artillery positions on the shore.
Unless the artillery on the shore is killed, we will be killed."
The forty or so soldiers on the Wusongkou Fort were dumbfounded at this time: What did they see with their own eyes?
A mortar actually disabled a battleship with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons.
This was no ordinary remnant. Gu Zuo and the others were standing high on the fort, with different viewing angles, and the river wind was blowing eastward today.
They could clearly see that the bow of the "Izumo" had been blown through several layers.
How many layers had been blown through? They couldn't see clearly because fire and thick smoke kept rising from below.
People like them could only see a big hole in the bow of the ship when the river breeze blew.
This hole is very large, accounting for almost one-third of the entire battleship.
At this time, Gu Zuo and the others already understood what was going on: "Mortar shells are not so powerful, and the camp is the same as the Japanese artillery position that was bombed yesterday.
Detonate the enemy's artillery shells and let the enemy's artillery shells blow themselves up."
"So far away! How did you see the Japanese artillery shells from the camp?"
"You're stupid! It's just luck! Didn't you see that when the main gun was exploded in the camp, it was all three shells, and when the secondary battery was exploded, it was all one shell."
"I have decided: I must bring Yingzuo to the casino to gamble a few times. How lucky can Yingzuo win the casino?" Guan Dahai said.
"Will Yingzuo go to the casino?" Gu Zuo asked.
"Yes!" Li Daqiang hesitated and said.
