"It's the commander!" The intelligence officer once again made a solemn imperial salute to Li Yong, and ran away with a determined face. However, his heart was wrinkled and painful! Because he knew that Li Yong was
Tired, Li Yong has not slept for three days and three nights since he received the telex from the south. Even an iron man cannot bear it!
Now it's okay, the damn ghost guys finally showed up, and after wiping them out, the commander can have a good night's sleep! And all he has to do is tell all his comrades not to be merciful later, but to be ruthless.
Beat these damn grandsons to death, who told them to worry about them?
"Ship No. 2 is in position!"; "Ship No. 4 is in position!" An hour later, the two torpedo leaders on the edge, which were moving forward in a horizontal formation, reported the situation through their positions. At this time, the Imperial No. 4 ship was also moved by
The enemy's opposite side has turned into a guide boat, and formed a triangle to surround the enemy in the middle, with the flanks about 4 kilometers apart.
"Each ship shrinks the encirclement circle centripetally and approaches the enemy ship to enter the battle sequence. Ships No. 1 and 3 target the enemy's front ship, and ships No. 2 and 4 target the enemy's rear ship. Within 12 kilometers, they launch flares at the enemy and enter the battle!
"
Under the bright moonlight, Li Yong, standing on the bridge, used low-light night vision goggles to stare at the two enemy ships behind him that had turned on their night navigation lights. The Mi flag could be vaguely seen fluttering on the bow of the ship. At this moment,
However, the Imperial 4th ship had quietly turned off the navigation light. So, with a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, he gave a decisive order.
Li Yong was not prepared to hold back, because he knew that after the artillery battle, there would definitely be living "tongues". If he wanted to know the whereabouts of the Locust aircraft fragments, he could definitely learn it from the mouths of these tongues. He didn't want to
Let the enemy have the opportunity to hurt the Imperial soldiers, don't even think about it!
His order caused the four Imperial torpedo leaders to become busy instantly. They introduced the shells into the gun chambers, pulled up the breech bolts, and pointed the gloomy muzzles at their targets. Ships No. 2 and No. 4, which were on both sides of the enemy ship, suddenly
Speed up and cut into the middle, while ships No. 1 and No. 3 appearing in front of the enemy ship begin to slow down.
Ten minutes later, ships No. 2 and 4 appeared within 12,000 meters from both sides of the enemy ship, while ships No. 1 and 3 suddenly moved horizontally, blocking the enemy's T position. At the same time, the four ships simultaneously moved towards the sea area of the two ships of the other side.
, fired a strong flare. In an instant, the sea area of the enemy ship was bright and bright as day.
Before that, the enemy ships felt that there were ships appearing around them, but they never dreamed that there would be imperial ships appearing in the distant Arabian Sea. Faced with the sudden large number of flares, Gui Lao
They were completely awakened, and the alarm bells on both ships rang loudly.
"Quick, quick, quick... There is an enemy situation ahead, and all units will immediately enter combat positions." In the crowded rest cabin, the Ghost Commander screamed to the confused Ghost Soldiers who had just woken up. In fact, there is no need to
The ghost commander reminded. The piercing battle alarm bell told these stunned ghosts: "Enter the combat position immediately!"
At this time, the ghosts exploded. The disheveled ghost soldiers were scurrying around like headless flies. The escalators were overcrowded for a while. However, the heritage of being the world's largest naval power is still there. There are still many people at various combat positions.
There are some ghost soldiers on duty, otherwise, by the time these people wake up from their sleep and come to duty, the day lily will be cold!
But even so, by the time the bare-breasted Gui Lao soldiers stepped onto their posts, the Chinese Empire's naval guns had already fired two rounds!
Under the illumination of the flares, the nameplate marks on the enemy ships clearly showed that these two warships were light armored cruisers of the John Bull Empire, with a standard displacement of about 8,000 tons.
All Imperial Navy soldiers, including Li Yong, have detailed study and memory of it.
According to the data, their waterline armor is between 102 and 152, and their armament is 12 single-barreled 152mm type A guns, two twin-mounted 152mm type B guns, and three single-barreled 102mm type A anti-aircraft guns.
Ten 20mm caliber machine guns, four twin 406mm torpedo tubes...
Compared with the 8,000-ton enemy cruiser, the Imperial D torpedo leader, which is only more than 2,000 tons, is much smaller, but the technical gap cannot be measured by tonnage. Each of the four ships has 6 D-type 126mm main guns.
, and simultaneously opened fire on the so-called "elephant."
The two enemy ships under the strong light of the flares were unable to accurately capture the traces of the imperial ships. They could only rely on the flash of artillery fire to determine the situation. The enemy ships were in an extremely passive situation. In order to restore the disadvantage, the enemy ships simultaneously turned on their shipboard searchlights and looked around.
Illuminate it to capture the Imperial Ship.
This trick was indeed effective, and it was possible to roughly determine the position of the Imperial Ship. Then, the enemy ship's main gun began to roar. But it was only the main gun. You must know that the enemy ship was built more than 10 years ago.
For this type of ship, at a distance of 10,000 meters, only the main gun can barely reach the range. As for other artillery, don't even think about it.
Even the main gun's shooting effect was quite weak in the dark night when the two sides were thousands of meters apart.
On the other hand, the Imperial artillery not only has an anti-recoil system, but also has artillery Zengcheng shells available. Although the two warships are 10,000 meters apart, after using Zengcheng bombs, even if the artillery accelerator is not used, the Empire using Zengcheng bombs
The D-type 126mm gun has an effective range of more than 10,000 meters.
Two of the empire's first range-finding shells hit the enemy's pilot flagship. These two shells were fired by ship No. 1 and ship No. 3 respectively. Because the two ships were in the most advantageous T-position,
According to the data provided by the radar, the positioning is quite accurate.
By coincidence, the two shells that hit the enemy's flagship all hit the enemy's left P turret, but failed to penetrate the turret. The violent explosion killed the ghost hiding in the turret on the spot.
The two of them also lit a fire on the turret.
Imperial capped bullets with special fuel added will produce extremely high temperatures when burning. The most terrifying thing is that they can burn anything and last for a long time!
Gui Lao's reserve team immediately put out the emergency fire. Unfortunately, they used ordinary fire-fighting methods. For this special fire, it could only add fuel to the fire, but it could not achieve the purpose of putting out the fire at all.
Before the ghosts had time to counterattack, the Empire's second wave of artillery shells arrived. With the range-finding shells as a foreshadowing, the attack of the artillery shells this time was much more accurate. There were 5 shells fired by the 24 main guns in total.
It hit the target directly and exploded on the enemy ship. There were 12 near-misses and exploded in the sea water about 6 meters away.
This time, the enemy ship's encounter was even more miserable. Thick smoke and fire ignited on the enemy ship's hull and the surrounding sea area. The enemy ship's entire state was like a large shark roasting in the fire. Although the shells did not cause any damage to the enemy ship.
may be seriously injured or sunk, but the psychological pressure on the enemy is enormous.
However, the enemy ship is indeed a ship of the First Navy. Under such unfavorable circumstances, the opponent's artillery finally roared! The two ships have 24 single-barreled 152mm type A guns and 4 twin 152mm type B guns, concentrating their firepower
Hit the No. 1 D-type torpedo leader with its flagship raised in the front, exposed to the searchlight.
However, due to the extremely unfavorable combat position, the only useful enemy ship gun was the 152mm twin B-type gun installed on the bow of the enemy's flagship ship. Two huge shells fired simultaneously at 50 meters on the inner side of the Imperial No. 1 ship.
They fell into the sea everywhere and exploded one after another in the sea water, with huge water columns rising straight into the sky.
A large amount of seawater, with huge inertia, hit the Empire 1 ship hard, and the ship's hull was bumped by the huge waves. Fortunately, no damage was caused to the ship's hull!
After the hull had just stabilized, Li Yong ordered to fire on the enemy again. This time several more shells exploded at the left P turret of the enemy flagship. Finally, under a series of blows, the P turret of the enemy ship was seriously injured, but unfortunately
Yes, none of the shells penetrated the inside of the turret.
After the third blow, Li Yong changed his strategy and ordered ships No. 1 and No. 3 to move forward and no longer maintain the T-position. Because he felt that although this could maximize the use of naval guns, it would also put him in a dangerous position.
Under the enemy's gunfire. In this case, the T position does not seem to be the best choice!….
He wanted to take advantage of the Imperial Ship's speed advantage to carry out guerrilla warfare outside the effective range of enemy ship fire. The advantage of this was safety, but the disadvantage was a decrease in accuracy. But in the face of rough skin and thick flesh,
And for enemy ships with many main guns, this will be the best choice.
Under Li Yong's order, the four ships of the Imperial Skeleton Fleet moved to a safe distance from the enemy ships. Within this distance, the four ships adopted mobile warfare to avoid the enemy ship's artillery bombardment.
As a result, the enemy ships will have a difficult life. Originally, the visibility of the night battle was not good, and it was impossible to accurately capture the Imperial fleet information by relying on searchlights. In addition, there were always flares to obstruct the enemy ships. Now the Imperial 4th ship uses mobile warfare, and the enemy ships
It is no longer possible to fight back effectively.
What's even more unfavorable is that the subsequent rounds of artillery bombardment by the Empire completely destroyed the searchlights of the two ships, making them blind again. The ghost guys who lost their searchlights could only use the cannon fire from the 4th Imperial ship to identify and fight back, and wait for the shells to hit.
When we left, the Empire 4 ship was no longer in the sea area.
Although the Imperial 4th ship was firing while in motion, the hit rate seemed low, but from time to time, shells hit the enemy ship, causing minor damage to the enemy ship. The fire never stopped on the enemy ship. In the end, the enemy ship was the first.
The one that was sunk was the enemy's flagship.
The Imperial artillery shell hit the port turret bar. From time to time, shells hit this part, and finally a cap shot penetrated the turret. The enemy ship was originally an old warship, and the inner deck of the turret was a wooden structure. In this way,
The capped bullet with huge inertia penetrates into the bottom ammunition compartment in an instant. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest
