Nine warships of the Japanese Combined Fleet rushed towards the western Sichuan Navy at full speed. They chose the bow of the ship to aim at the western Sichuan Navy, so that the firepower of their bow could be exerted and the area of the bomb was reduced. Nine ships
The speed of the warships is different. The "Takachiho" and "Langsu" rushed to the front, followed by three Sanjing ships, and the ones behind were the "Xikyemaru" and "Hairui"
The gunboat Akagi and the "Fusang" were the slowest, and fell at the end. At this moment, the distance between the joint fleet from the first fleet of the western Sichuan Navy was 12,000 meters.
Although the cannons on both sides have not started to roar yet. However, no matter how you look at it, the Japanese Navy is at an absolute disadvantage. For them, this is a completely "tragic" charge. What will the end after the charge be? This everyone
It's also very clear.
"Are these Japanese crazy? They are definitely not opponents of the Western Sichuan Navy. Using such tactical charges is simply seeking death!" The captain said in surprise on the American warship "Brooklyn".
"No! Although these Japanese are very crazy, this is their last solution. If they can advance to 5 kilometers or even closer, their excellent shelling level will be able to be exerted. Especially those three boats' three scenes
The 320mm naval guns on the ship can definitely pose a fatal threat to the western Sichuan Navy. This is also their last chance. However, judging from the tactics of the western Sichuan Navy, the plan of the Japanese joint fleet is difficult to work!"
Said.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the upcoming naval battle. Is it the Japanese Navy that continued to write glory and defeat the strong with the weak, or the Western Sichuan Navy destroying the Japanese Navy and becoming a new naval power in the Far East? All this is waiting for the war
It's over.
"Each ship is ready, freely chooses targets, and prepares to launch artillery attacks!" On the "Sichuan", Deng Shichang issued an order with a sneer on his face. Whether it is these four battleships or four heavy cruisers, it is definitely not something the Japanese Navy can deal with.
一. Without a fire control system, the western Sichuan Navy, which was not trained, may not be able to exert its maximum combat power. However, now, after almost two years of running-in, the soldiers of the western Sichuan Navy are already very good at the warships under their feet.
It is familiar with it. With the fire control system, they have been able to exert the power of the warships well. This battle is an exam to test their training results over the past two years. Like the Japanese Navy, Kawashima
The navy is also highly morale. However, there will only be one final winner of the war.
The main gun on the "Sichuan" began to rotate. The muzzles of the three dual main guns pointed obliquely towards the Japanese joint fleet that was approaching rapidly. The balloons of the shelling observation have also been launched, and they will be the warship's
The artillery fire provides more precise guidance.
At 2:20 pm, the Sichuanese took its first volley, aiming at the target, the fastest charge of the warship "Takachiho" was the warship "Takachiho" that only charged. The "Takachiho" only had 3,709 tons, but it was equipped with
Two 260mm naval guns, typical small boat-mounted cannons.
"Fire the cannon!" With the order of the gun officer of the "Sichuan", six 305mm naval guns emitted a deafening roar, and orange-red flames flashed through the muzzle, and six shells weighing 325 kilograms,
It hit the "Takachiho" far away ten thousand meters away.
"Baga! Are the shelling levels of these western Sichuan people so high? It's just a waste of shelling when they start shooting ten thousand meters away!" Major Sadashi Nomura, the captain of the "Takachiho", cursed.
He was greatly shocked by the performance of the cruiser in western Sichuan. However, he did not think that the main guns of battleships could be as accurate as those of cruisers.
"Boom!" Six shells hit the sea hard, splashing water into the sky. No shell could hit the target, and the closest one was 300 meters away.
"Terrent three hundred meters left, correct the shelling parameters!" Although the first round of volleys did not achieve results, no one cared about it. Based on the obtained shelling competition, the angle of the cannon began to be corrected.
At 2:25, the Sichuanese fired a second round of volleys. This time, the distance between the six shells from the Gao Qiansui was much closer, and the closest shell was even
Less than one hundred meters away from the "Taochisui".
"Bastard, how could the shelling of the western Sichuan Navy be so accurate?" Nomura Sadaki was shocked. In addition, other Japanese generals felt a little incredible. If the shelling level of the western Sichuan Navy really reached this level, then they
But there is no possibility of winning at all. Therefore, they would rather believe that this is simply a coincidence. The Western Sichuan Army was just a blind cat and a dead mouse.
"Captain, can the shelling of the US Navy's main battleship achieve such accuracy when it is ten thousand meters apart?" Mahan asked on the Brooklyn.
"Professor Ma Han, are you kidding? If our main battleship can achieve such a result at a distance of 5,000 meters, it should be God's blessing!" The captain of the Brooklyn shouted.
"But why can the western Sichuan Navy be able to do it? You know, it's less than two years since they were in the army!" Ma Han said in confusion. This is what he urgently needs to understand.
"This, maybe they train hard!" The captain of the Brooklyn found such a reason. However, it was obvious that even he himself did not believe it.
"Perhaps, the western Sichuan Navy has some secrets we don't know." Ma Han's eyes shone with a wise light.
The Japanese joint fleet quickly approached the First Fleet of the Western Sichuan Navy. The Western Sichuan Navy began violent artillery bombardment. The four battleships and four heavy cruisers each chose their own targets, and a large number of shells smashed towards the enemy. Although
Until now, no target has hit, but the distance between their shells has become shorter and shorter. If this continues, it will be a matter of time before the United Fleet's warships are hit.
On the "Matsushima", the commander of the Japanese Joint Fleet, Yuki Ito, looked as if the shells were constantly falling in front of the warship. He was also very shocked. Although the "Matsushima" has not yet been captured at the current location.
But the prospect is very unoptimistic. The 320mm naval gun on the front deck of the Songdao did not fire, because he knew that at this distance, firing at the warships of the Western Sichuan Army was a waste of fire.
Just a precious shell.
Because the western Sichuan Navy can maintain the distance between the two sides, even half an hour later, the western Sichuan Navy is still eight thousand meters away from the Japanese Combined Fleet. At this distance, it is difficult for the Japanese Combined Fleet to hit the enemy, and the western Sichuan Navy is not able to hit the enemy.
, the shelling can be started unscrupulously. The current course of both sides has become the west Sichuan fleet northwest, the Japanese joint fleet west, and the four battleships of the west Sichuan fleet and four heavy cruisers facing the head of the Japanese joint fleet on starboard.
And both sides are constantly adjusting their direction. The Japanese fleet hopes to bring the distance between the two sides closer, but the western Sichuan Navy maintains this distance as much as possible. Typically, using speed and accuracy of artillery bombardment to bully the Japanese joint fleet.
At 2:40 pm, the eighth round of the "Sichuan" finally made a cross shot. On the surface, what the "Sichuan" lacks now is just luck. And this cross shot also gave "
The Takachiho caused a great shock. The Takachiho drove at full speed and rushed towards the Sichuan as fast as possible. Otherwise, once it was hit, the Takachiho would definitely die.
The weak armor on the ship was simply impossible to withstand the bombardment of the 305mm naval gun.
At 2:50, the tenth volley of the Sichuanese began. As six guns weighing 325 kilograms were out of the bore, the huge recoil made the Sichuanese move two meters across the sea.
The luck of the "Takachiho" seems to have been used up.
A 305mm main gun shell hit the head of the "Takachisui". The 260mm naval gun installed on the front deck was immediately blown away. The entire head seemed to be bitten by a huge monster.
The fire caused by the explosion spread on the deck of the Takachiho. For a moment, the Takachiho was shrouded in rolling smoke.
"Okay! Good job! Continue to shell the Japanese, who are raised by these dogs, send all the fish to the sea!" Fleet Commander Deng Shichang, whose face was gloomy because one of them did not hit the target, finally turned cloudy.
After the "Sichuan" set a precedent, the other warships began to reap the results. One Japanese warship after another was hit.
"Did God Amaterasu abandon his people?" On the "Matsushima", Yuyuki Ito, the commander of the joint fleet, thought secretly. Although he had guessed that it would fail, he did not expect that it would be the result.
The Japanese Combined Fleet was hit by one after another before even reaching the best combat distance. If this continues, they are not far from failure.
At this time, a huge explosion suddenly came from the sea. I saw a Japanese warship broken into two pieces and slowly sank into the sea.
"The commander, it is the Hiei. The Hiei was hit by the ammunition depot and the shell exploded!" said the staff officer on the Matsushima.
"Order all ships to continue to fight bravely!" Yuki Ito said coldly, as if he did not take the sinking of his own warships to heart. In fact, he no longer had any hope for the Japanese Combined Fleet and was waiting.
His was just a glorious death. Most of the Japanese officers had already recognized the reality, but this made them even more crazy.
