Redemption of WWII

Chapter 150 Seven: The End of the Navy 2

Less than 20 seconds after the heavy cruiser 'Exeter' of the Royal Navy sank, the battleship HMS Rhodes became the second victim of those howitzers. 【】The cannon that exploded was forced to carry out non-manual work on the bow of the Rhodes battleship without the consent of the owner of the Rhodes.

Rhodes was like a drunk man, the bow of the ship was directly pressed to the surface of the water by those guns, and the stern of the ship was lifted high into the sky due to the reverse force.The [-]-ton British battleship Rhodes is like a toy in a bathtub, and those guns are the hands of naughty children.The incoming propeller of the Rhodes, which was usually hidden deep below the water level, finally gave a warm embrace to the long-lost air.

But after all, the Rhodes battleship is a big guy with a strong body.Such a huge explosion did not cause any damage to its keel.After going through several roller coaster-like large-scale swings, the Rhodes was still tenaciously floating above the water.

Although the Rhodes battleship resisted the attack, the Royal Navy on it was not so lucky.All the people on the deck of the ship were thrown into the nearby sea by the huge movement of the Rhodes.Some people were directly thrown off the pier hundreds of meters away at the stern of the ship due to the reaction of the toughness of the steel. It can be regarded as learning a real air flight, and it can be regarded as the human beings who want to rely on their own strength for thousands of years. Dream of flying.

But compared with the officers and soldiers inside those battleships, the fate of these people is not the most tragic.Almost everyone is overwhelmed by this shaking, moving from left to right and then right to left with all the moving objects in the cabin.Of course, sometimes people landed in the wrong place, and some people even wanted to use their heads to witness whether the walls of those cabins were real steel.Not surprisingly, steel won the final victory.

Fortunately, Major General Black grasped the handrail beside him in time to prevent shaking, so that he was not subjected to a great deal of shock and eventually became a free-falling test object.It was with difficulty that Black survived this real test of human perception of force and reaction.Black hurriedly headed towards the bow of his own warship, and almost fainted at once.

The four 380mm main guns on the bow that were once regarded as a symbol of the strength of the Royal Navy have disappeared at this time, and what remains in that part is a large hole with a radius of more than ten meters.Looking at the various artistic shapes formed by the irregular steel decks that were torn apart by the main guns forcibly pulling off the hull, Black cried.

But Blake soon came to his senses, because he knew that now was not the time to cry.Blake grabbed the phone next to him and yelled into it, "All weapons are fired at the enemy's position immediately, fire." But there was no sound from the phone.Major General Black was very surprised why no one answered his order. It was not until a naval officer next to him pointed to the phone in his hand that Major General Black realized that he had taken the phone down.

Black, who couldn't help but smile bitterly, quickly turned the phone over. Before he could speak, the phone came out with various voices calling for help.

"Anyone, the two main engines in the engine room are tilting badly. There's a lot of fuel leaking, oh my god, it's starting to leak"

"The hatch of the medicine storehouse has been completely deformed and stuck, please send someone to rescue quickly."

"I'm the head chef and all the breakfasts are on the ceiling. Come on we need some ladders to get everyone to breakfast"

"It's on fire, it's on fire, come and put out the fire!"

The entire phone was in a mess, and it was all voices calling for help.Major General Blake couldn't help but froze there.Major General Black knew that after the violent movement just now.Basically, all the officers and soldiers staying in the cabin must have not suffered too few casualties, but anyway, the Rhodes is a large armored battleship with tens of thousands of tons. The giant battleship lost its ability to fight.

The phone was not working, so Black had to pick up the captain's special pager and shout to the entire battleship.The captain's special pager is a one-way calling device, just like a large microphone.All people on board can hear the captain's speech.

"All the soldiers on the artillery positions fired at the enemy's artillery positions immediately, without asking for instructions, they opened fire freely"

Before Black finished speaking, a naval officer beside Black stepped forward and hugged Black, and then shouted loudly, "Captain, the enemy fired again."

Before the sentence was finished, several consecutive cannons hit the top of the bridge command room one after another.Like a giant hammer, the first six cannons completely disintegrated all the facilities on the top of the bridge with shocking blows, while the last two cannons went directly into the bridge command room along the big holes dug by their predecessors. internal.

The gun of the 150mm howitzer immediately fired an explosion beyond imagination in the command room of the Rhodes.The steel walls of all the command rooms couldn't bear the force of the explosion from the inside out, and formed various metal shapes in exaggerated ways.The explosion shattered all living creatures waiting in the bridge control room.

Major General Black is part of the pieces, along with his beloved parrot.And the entire Rhodes battleship also lost their captain and their favorite captain's parrot.

The entire upper deck of the Rhodes also ignited a raging fire following the explosion. The soaring flames made people hundreds of meters away from the battleship feel the temperature of the flames.

It's a long story, but in fact, only a short minute has passed since Liu Qi and the others started their first salvo.But this is just 1 minute in which the British heavy cruiser "Exeter" was discounted and sunk, and the battleship Rhodes became a torch burning at dawn.It can be said that the strength of the Third Squadron of the British Royal Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet has gone from ten to eight.

The remaining six destroyers didn't know that something was going wrong, so they hurriedly started their engines and fled to the outside of the Suez naval port.While fleeing, the 130mm artillery on these destroyers also began to fight back at the enemy's artillery positions.Here we have to admire the level of these British gunners, except that three shots hit the cannon positions set up by Liu Qi and the others.The other guns didn't know where they hit.However, these three guns also knocked over two 105 howitzers that were adjusting their coordinates, and killed dozens of Egyptian soldiers around them.

Just as the officers and soldiers on the destroyer of the Royal Navy were relieving their hatred for the enemy's target, the cannons of Liu Qi's artillery position roared again.In less than 10 seconds, those guns flew over the slowly accelerating destroyer. For these destroyers with a maximum weight of only 4000 tons, these guns were a complete disaster.

And this time the gun has also changed from the original set shooting to covering shooting.Originally, four destroyers were docked at the naval port, and later two destroyers returned to dock after completing their cruise missions. It can be said that except for one destroyer, all the Royal Navy's Indian Ocean Third Squadron has arrived.The above-surface parts of each of the six expulsion ships were hit with a fairly even pattern of artillery.

Saying it is uniform may make people not understand.But if someone has experienced the damage suffered by these destroyers, I am afraid that the only word that can come to mind is even.Each destroyer will drop a cannon at an interval of 20 meters from head to tail. The distance is so accurate that you can use a caliper to measure a little difference.And if someone can look down from the sky, they will find that the landing points of those guns form a straight line.

However, none of the Royal Navy liked the scenes of these geometrically beautiful cannon explosions.After the smoke of the explosion completely dissipated, there were six less beautifully lined Royal Navy destroyers in the Suez Harbor, and six more flat boats that looked like garbage ships.

The guns fired under Liu Qi's command did not deliberately sink these destroyers, but smashed everything on all the destroyers one after another.And these cannons exploding on the upper deck did not affect the destroyer's already activated machines.Those destroyers were still moving forward according to the route set by their masters before his death.The final struggle was not stopped until it hit the shore of the Gulf of Suez.

The entire Royal Navy in the Gulf of Suez has completely stopped firing guns at their opponents. Of course, they just want to happen that they don't have the tools to fire the guns.Of course, there are still a few small gunboats that are constantly busy in the military port, and there are still those 35mm dual cannons on the gunboats.However, after those large warships had been crippled, these gunboats of less than [-] tons fled out of the harbor at the fastest speed, and even the sailors who kept calling for help in the water ignored them.

Some people on the gunboats were not particularly tolerant, so they still gave some lifebuoys and other items to the soldiers who fell into the water.However, this behavior has been unanimously criticized by the officers and soldiers who fell into the water.The one in the navy doesn't swim like a fish in the water.It's not easy to escape from the pier so close here. The soldiers who fell into the water wanted the gunboats to take them away with them, but those gunboats really didn't dare to delay any longer. will fall on his head.

Admiral William, who was waiting in the headquarters with difficulty, admired how his once powerful and enemy fleet was destroyed from the beginning to the end.All the fleet was left with the burning flagship Rhodes.Williams will have to give an order with difficulty.

"surrender."
