The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Chapter 255 Precise Strike

Accepting the order bravely and fearlessly, the second-level destroyer "Sakura", led by Major Yoshito Miyasaka, drove the warship with a standard displacement of only 600 tons out of the formation without any hesitation, and went down nearly 15 kilometers around Lingshan Island Turning his head, facing the gray-white breakwater that he could barely see from a distance, he began to make a sharp turn at a speed of [-] knots.

It has been 30 years since the "Sakura" type destroyer was built. In today's new era where any destroyer costs two to three thousand tons, it is already too old. ", "Oi" and four second-tier destroyers were sunk, and it only had to return to the mainland as a spare.But now, it has taken on an important mission, which has to be said to be a great irony.

However, Major Miyasaka Yoshito did not feel wronged, such an honor would not come to others.Danger ahead?Who doesn't know what a battle without danger requires their brave military presence?

Of course, His Excellency Major was also very nervous. Standing outside the command room, he held the cold railing tightly with both hands, opened his sharp eyes, which can be regarded as sharp in the entire destroyer team, and stared at the underwater hundreds of meters in front of the battleship.

In addition to the soldiers who had to maintain the boiler room, course, and armaments, the rest of the dozen or so people were also distributed throughout the ship to observe the underwater situation. Although the draft was only 2.21 meters shallow, it was not even comparable to a fishing boat with a larger tonnage. Still have to be careful and careful, it's not good to touch any sudden rock.

Speaking of it, the guy as the opponent is really hateful and awesome.What's hateful is that the land reclamation affects the waterway without authorization, so that larger ships dare not approach. What's awe is their ability to work. It is said that the stalwart breakwater was built in three months!According to the hydrological records of Japan, there is a depth of 20 meters over there, so they have to fill at least several million cubic meters of stone and reinforced concrete to build it. This speed is simply terrifying!

What's even more weird is that God knows where they got so many rocks in this ten-kilometer-wide sea area, and they piled up here and there.

"Steady! Must be steady! Keep the battleship stable, don't rush to take risks, you must find a safe channel!"

The setting sun is slanting to the west, the light is not so strong, and the reflection of the water surface is not so glaring, so you can see more clearly.Without the disturbance of the ship, the water surface is clearer.

"Boom!"

There was a whistling of a train passing through the cave at high speed, followed by an earth-shattering explosion on the left side one kilometer away, raising a thick water column with a height of hundreds of meters, which shocked Major Miyasaka Yoshito almost deaf up!

"It's heavy artillery! The coastal defense heavy artillery of the Chinese people! At least 300mm, abominable! Such a big guy is deployed here!"

Miyasaka Yoshito shook his head vigorously, shouted and cursed loudly, and at the same time his body trembled slightly, scared!

I don't know what the intelligence guys did, but they didn't know that the other party had such a large-caliber coastal defense gun!Can bring out this kind of roaring sound, at least the guy who can be compared with the battleship, a small ship like myself will fall apart even if it encounters a near miss!If it hits directly, it will completely become a part state!Even if the flagship "Pan hand" is hit, it will sink!

But fortunately, the aiming of this kind of cannon is too difficult, and if the artillery skills are too poor, it is difficult to hit a tiny target more than ten kilometers away.

"Turn! Keep going!" Miyasaka Yoshitaka gritted his teeth and ordered, and then hurriedly reported to the fleet.

"Coastal heavy artillery?".Imamura Shinjiro pondered for a while, and then said, "Tell Miyasaka, the enemy should have at least two of these cannons, but they are relatively old and have poor accuracy. Don't take it to heart and continue to investigate!"

The cruiser in charge of monitoring at the back also confirmed the firing of the opposite fort, and confirmed for the first time that the main fort of the opponent was at the hillside at the south head of Dazhu Mountain. It is so obvious that it is clearly visible in a high-power telescope.

"Hey! I finally found something." Lieutenant General Imamura breathed a sigh of relief. He has been waiting for this moment for too long, almost a full day!

He knew that Zhu Bin had heavy artillery in his hand.He brought back the five dual-mounted 305mm main guns dismantled from the "Florida" battleship bought the year before last, and four of them were installed in Jiangyin Fortress. It is no secret that it was on the fort of the Zhoushan base.One of the targets of the aerial bombing of Yoshida Zengo's fleet in the morning was that guy, but the fort was directly embedded in the mountain, so it couldn't be bombed from the top, and parallel sweeping didn't hurt at all.

The construction scale of the Guzhenkou base is so large, and Zhu Bin has spent hundreds of millions of dollars. It is impossible not to focus on defense. The most likely reason is that the remaining four heavy artillery are all guarded here. Because of this, he dare not rashly let the fleet Close to the attack, the consequences of being bombed by four 305mm naval guns in the nearby sea are extremely terrible!Although the 395kg armor-piercing projectile of this old naval gun has a maximum range of 21950, which is not even as good as the 152mm naval gun on my side, let alone the 203mm naval gun used by the heavy cruiser, its armor-piercing ability can still be achieved. Reaching a depth of 2000mm from 254 yards!

This kind of power can easily penetrate any warship of the Third Fleet with just one shot. The end will be quite miserable!

Or if he kills the main fleet to prevent the main fleet from approaching the waters within 20 kilometers, this is the defense!Now, one fort has been exposed, so what about the other?where? !

The second-class destroyer "Sakura" turned sharply to the south, and made a gesture of staying away from the entrance of the military port, but approached Gulouzui on the south side of the bay. After traveling less than five kilometers, "Boom" fired another cannon far from the south. This time the deviation was farther, a full 2 ​​kilometers, and the blasted water column was truly spectacular!

"The second fort! It's in the middle of Langyatai Mountain! The same caliber!" Miyasaka Yoshiteng was not surprised, but he slammed his fist on the railing and shouted loudly, "The enemy's two main forts are exposed, report To Your Excellency the Commander!"

The news came so easily and so fast, it was unbelievable!But it's understandable when you think about it. After all, the two forts are ten kilometers away from each other, but my own ship is ten kilometers away from their intersection angle, which is the best distance for shooting. Let it go, otherwise, he will see the truth and reality in the port!

Imamura Shinjiro responded lightly: "Understood. Continue to move forward and explore carefully!"

What Zhu Bin bought back was a double-mounted fort. Although he could disassemble it and use it scattered with his ability and financial resources, it was not necessary or valuable. Judging from the deployment methods of the Jiangyin Fort and the Zhoushan Base, they were all double-mounted. The one used by the joint installation is just a single cannon fire this time.It is not so easy to master the alignment of multiple cannons on the fort, and this kind of cannonball is too expensive.

Or, a small 600-ton ship is not worth it, and they fired both guns?

Lieutenant General Imamura has become more and more careful, his opponent is too cunning and insidious, he must not be reckless and judge that this is his trump card!How could he possibly just guard the gate with 2 old guys?

In the mountain command hall, Wang Weishan also asked Serena with some puzzlement: "Why did we expose our large-caliber heavy battery first? Will this scare away the Japanese fleet? Then our annihilation plan will not be easy to carry out." gone."

Serena said: "This kind of cannon was the first to be exposed, and it is impossible to hide it. Instead of letting the Japanese army blindly test it, it is better to let them feel at ease. With Japan's own habits, I will not believe that we only have so many coastal defenses Cannons, and other deployments will conform to their judgment."

"Playing hard to get!" Deputy Chief of Staff Yu Shaotang nodded thoughtfully, but this was the core of the entire battle plan.Because the incident happened suddenly and the preparation time was short, we could only use one of the previously formulated response plans to block it and adjust the camera.

"Yes. We can't estimate how determined the Japanese army is. We must find out the limit of their attack. If we can destroy our entire fleet and base, we must attract them to the maximum and annihilate them in one fell swoop. Collected so far Judging by the intelligence, the Japanese army has such a pre-set goal, so they must try to attract the main force of their southern fleet to come here, and rely on the powerful coastal defense artillery fire to deal them a heavy blow."

Serena always has a cold and calm expression, and she speaks without the slightest emotion. The light taste of the wind is extraordinarily calm and capable.

Wang Huishan nodded, and asked again: "So, how far can our coastal defense force go? Are we sure we can destroy the two invading fleets?".The base is too big and too mysterious for him and others to grasp the whole situation.

Serena said: "If the Japanese army doesn't know how to advance and retreat, at least most of them can be wiped out. After all our bases are completed, there will be no ability in the world that can directly break through our defenses, even if all the Japanese combined fleet is dispatched."

"Hiss---! So strong!" Wang Weishan, Yu Shaotang and others all exclaimed, this thing is not a joke! How many light battleships are there in the Japanese Combined Fleet?King Kong, Hiei, Haruna, Kirishima, Fuso, Yamashiro, Ise, Rixiang, Nagato, Mutsu, ten big guys!The maximum 410mm gun barrel can put people in it, and it can blow up half a small hill with a single shot over a distance of [-] to [-] kilometers. How can such a terrifying force not capture the base? !Doesn't that mean that the most powerful fortress in the world will be built here? !

Serena didn't explain, and Wang Weishan and the others consciously didn't ask too much detail. There is a division of labor in the army, so they don't need to know everything.All you need to know is that it is enough to be able to ensure the safety of the base.

"Boom! Boom! Boom...!"

With one monotonous explosion followed by another, the second-class destroyer "Sakura" drew a chaotic curve pattern on the sea surface, and the two turrets, which only fired once every minute, dexterously designed the downstream fish to rush forward for five kilometers in a straight line. I can vaguely see some overviews of the front of the military port, and successfully found a deep water channel, but I dare not go along it. Apart from that, basically, the purpose of the test has been completed.

"It's almost there, let's return!" Major Miyazaka Yoshito waved his hand vigorously excitedly, and the battleship turned around again, and the bottom of the ship narrowly and dangerously brushed against the slight side of the long thin hull on top of a pile of boulders.

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of continuous bangs from the forts on both sides. In Miyasaka's eyes, only a large expanse of boiling fireworks suddenly erupted on one side. A few seconds later, deafening bangs and screams came in parallel. At least a dozen rounds of 150mm high-explosive bombs and four rounds of 4mm high-explosive bombs smashed into an area less than one square kilometer in radius, and three of them blasted into the bow, bridge and At the waterline amidships, it split its thin shell into a terrifying hole like a piece of paper, and there was a "rumbling" explosion. The 305-meter-wide battleship was broken into two pieces, countless fragments and screams. The bodies of tattered soldiers exploded to the sky!

"Ah! The Sakura was hit by the coastal defense artillery!" The cruiser observing from the rear discovered the tragedy for the first time, and couldn't help but screamed. Then the neat and huge explosion sound came, and it was transmitted directly to Imamura through the radio. In the ears of Lieutenant General Shinjiro, the shock made him tremble all over, and he broke out in a cold sweat again!

"It's dangerous! Fortunately, it's the 'Sakura'! If it's another big ship, it's going to be a disaster!"

It cannot be said that he is guilty. The "Sakura" is the smallest destroyer in the entire fleet. It has only one 120mm main gun and four 4mm single-mounted guns. The little guy has a maximum of 76 people. He is flexible and light, with a speed of 94 knots. The whole job is very suitable, but I also encountered such a strange and weird thing. One can imagine what kind of ghost-like enemies are hidden on the opposite side!

It was another unanimous shot, another hit in one fell swoop, such a strange thing is too rare in the navy, how did the other party do it? !

If this problem is not clear, Lieutenant General Imamura may not be able to sleep in the future. Not only him, but the entire Navy and the General Staff will try their best to study it. Is this a new technology, or is it a blind cat hitting a mouse?It's better to be the latter, otherwise you'll be in big trouble!

"This is our base, and our positions are within a radius of [-] kilometers. Here, no one can gain the upper hand." In the headquarters, Serena seemed to have done a trivial matter.

But Wang Weishan and the others were taken aback again!If the previous attack on the air force had the advantage of distance and the number of artillery, then what is going on this time!The giant cannons were fired at the sea by more than a dozen guns, and there was such a result!

Serena flicked her fingers lightly, and the sea surface on the holographic screen immediately leveled out, and neat grid lines appeared. Each grid was exactly 1000 meters long, and the salvo just now happened to be in the same direction. grid.

"This is the firepower set by our base defense system. According to the advance route and speed of the enemy fleet, the target area is predicted, and then the artillery fire is concentrated. The two dual-mounted 305mm main guns are scattered around 300 yards, It is not a problem to control it within the range, but the 150mm German naval gun as a secondary gun is more accurate, and after calculation and control, it can achieve such a result."

Wang Weishan and the others were completely speechless.The cannon can still be controlled to this extent, how can this battle be fought!
