For me personally, I very much agree with what our ancestors said: If you fall behind, you will be beaten! --- "Kongchen Quotations"
The precision rangefinder is a new product developed by the official science and technology research and development center. And it is precisely because of these rangefinders that the Hainan Army artillery's bombardment accuracy has been greatly improved. Li Weidong believes that the navy will use precise bombardment to defeat all the Japanese navy.
Sent into the cold sea water.
"Boom...boom...boom!" "Boom!" The brutal artillery battle continued. Almost every few minutes, a Japanese warship would burst into flames.
Smoke filled the battlefield, explosions and flames filled the battlefield. The dark blue naval flag floating from the mast of the Hainan Navy warship fluttered in the wind. The flag in the smoke was not affected by the flames of war at all.
"Distance is 5,900 meters, fire!" Fu Youdi, the gunnery officer of the main battery turret on the Hainan Army No. 018 battleship, loudly ordered the main gun to fire.
Immediately, the screaming shells streaked across the blue sky, instantly falling in front of the Japanese fleet on the opposite side, exploding high water jets, which splashed onto the deck of the Japanese battleship.
Putting down his binoculars, Fu Youdi shouted dissatisfied: "Damn it! Are your eyes on your buttocks? Keep firing! Let the little devil drink Zuma's foot-washing water!"
He stepped forward and pushed away the nervous and sweating artilleryman who was taking aim, and skillfully pushed a large-caliber shell into the gun chamber. Skillfully and quickly, even the tremor caused by the battleship's firing could not stop him for half a second.
Since the armored defenses of the Hainanese warships are weak, the consequences of being hit by the main guns of the Japanese battleships are unimaginable. Therefore, the Hainanese battles are based on flexible tactics. They rely on long-range and powerful naval guns to make up for the shortcomings of insufficient defense.
.
It is no longer possible to have a boarding battle in modern naval warfare. Both sides engage in artillery fire at a distance until they sink the other side. The Hainan Army 018 warship immediately turned after entering the range of the Japanese naval gun. As a result, the hull tilted, and the ball was round under its feet.
Shell casings and scattered debris began to roll to starboard.
"Distance correction, 5,370 meters, load the shells!" Fu Youdi adjusted the rangefinder carefully and shouted fiercely.
Hearing his shout, the other two secondary guns also adjusted their distance, and the shirtless ammunition handlers hurriedly stuffed shells weighing dozens of kilograms into the gun barrels.
When the warship's hull returned to normal, Fu Youdi saw the right moment and shouted loudly: "Fire!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" I saw the three turrets on the ship firing in sequence, and the rumbling sound of the cannons suddenly resounded across the blue sea.
The God of War roared, and successive artillery shells fell on the Japanese combined fleet 5,300 meters away. Suddenly, a fierce flame illuminated the entire sea surface, and the violent explosions almost covered up the sound of artillery fire from both sides.
The loud noise was accompanied by scorching fire, and the intense light even stung Yamamoto Isoroku's eyes. A huge fireball exploded from the belly of the Japanese battleship, and the strong airflow even swept the soldiers on the giant ship beside it into the rough sea.
, the Japanese rising sun flag on the mast slowly fell into the sea.
Li Weidong saw from the telescope that the Hainan Army's No. 018 battleship shell directly hit a battleship of the Japanese fleet. The huge battleship was almost like a piece of clay under the Hainan Army's 305 mm caliber naval gun.
In an instant, a huge hole opened in the abdomen, and then a stronger explosion in the abdomen was blown into two halves from the middle.
That was when the shell penetrated the hull and detonated the ammunition compartment inside the battleship, causing a more violent explosion. The entire battleship was instantly enveloped in a ball of fire, and finally formed a violent big explosion that caused the entire battleship to instantly
It was split into two, and all that remained were the wreckage that slowly sank into the whirlpool of the sea, and the corpses of Japanese soldiers floating on the sea.
The first battleship since the beginning of the war exploded and sank, which greatly damaged the morale of the Japanese army. The furious Yamamoto Isoroku even smashed a chair with a samurai sword. A battleship was sunk by the ignorant Chinese people, regardless of their feelings.
He couldn't even accept it rationally.
Perhaps he never expected to encounter such a situation. Since the war began, he has been led by the Hainan Army, and the combined fleet's combat effectiveness has not been even 30/40% effective.
"Where are the Imperial Air Forces? Why didn't they take off?" Yamamoto Isoroku asked with a gloomy face after calming down after being furious.
The Japanese combined fleet has three aircraft carriers and about a hundred carrier-based aircraft that can take off, but so far the aviation force has not played its due role. Yamamoto Isoroku couldn't help but ask.
"Report to Commander! The aircraft carrier Kirishima has taken off fighter jets, but it was dragged down by Hainan Navy carrier-based aircraft and unable to attack the opponent's fleet! The other two ships are undergoing emergency repairs because their deck runways were damaged!" Knowing that the commander is easily angry,
Because he was worried about harming Chi Yu, a Japanese lieutenant colonel reported the report cautiously.
As expected, Yamamoto Isoroku stared closely at the poor Lieutenant Colonel, and the anger in his eyes even made the Lieutenant Colonel frightened. The powerful Japanese combined fleet was actually suppressed and beaten by the Chinese people whom they despised, and suffered setbacks from the beginning.
, this was simply unacceptable to him.
He even felt that he was hallucinating. The violent explosion just now was the sound of his own battleship sinking the opponent's battleship.
The naval battle continued, with countless shells falling, like raindrops hitting the sea, and countless water columns rising. The Japanese fleet was already at an extreme disadvantage. From time to time, battleships were hit on the deck or side by Hainan warship guns.
But no matter where they are concentrated, there will be deafening fire and explosions, everything on the deck will be swept away, followed by smoke and fire.
Some unfortunate warships were directly hit in vital parts, triggering huge and devastating explosions. After a while, the burning hulls could only sink into the cold seabed.
"The situation of the battle is decided!" Zhao Yujian put down the telescope, and a smile appeared on the corner of his serious face.
In terms of long-distance bombardment, the Hainan Army's artillery fire had an absolute advantage. The Japanese Navy's artillery could rarely organize an effective counterattack. Their shells mostly just landed near the Hainan Army fleet and stirred up water columns, but they did not cause any damage.
There are too many effects.
Every salvo fired by the Hainan Army concentrated the Japanese warships. The original 'V'-shaped formation quickly became chaotic under the fierce attack of the artillery. The remaining Japanese warships opened the distance between each other, each fighting for their own strength.
battle, but it greatly reduced the hit rate of Hainan Army's artillery fire.
"Order all ships to fire freely." Of course Zhao Yujian noticed this and calmly issued the order.
Subsequently, all the warships of the Hainan Army selected their targets and launched a fierce bombardment against the Japanese combined fleet with the assistance of precise rangefinders.
