The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Chapter 263 The Atago sinks!

In the sky, the northern air force returned to the battlefield after the initial panic, set the bombing target on the smoky hillside, launched a fierce attack on the exposed air defense position, and bombed the frontier mountain where there might be ambushes and hidden fortifications Sweep she.

The Southern Air Force turned around and launched an attack on important facilities such as the smoking lighthouse and the oil depot on the hillside behind it.

"The defense strength of the Chinese people is like this." Yoshida Zengo muttered to himself, his eyes became sharper.

The Langya Mountain Fort was abolished, and the fleet was able to slowly approach the front of the coast, so that the artillery shells could be directly blasted to the opponent's key command organization and anti-aircraft artillery fire hidden behind the hillside, as well as the fleet that he had not killed after chasing all the way.Although the breakwater is high, it can't stop the figures of those battleships. The half of the bridge exposed from behind the high stone wall and the gun barrels that are spraying anti-aircraft ammunition are constantly stimulating Yoshida Zengo's nerves. It just so happens that this time Destroy you together!

At the critical moment, we have to rely on the battleship's cannon to end everything!

Yoshida Zengo, with greasy cheeks, waved forward forcefully, and shouted: "All fire!"

"boom---!"

The four heavy cruisers and the two old-fashioned armored cruisers "Tokiwa" and "Yakumo" who came as reinforcements from the north, fired a total of 48 203mm naval guns in unison, and the roar that exploded within five seconds shook in a radius of more than ten The sound of the Caspian Sea is empty!

The six large warships moved a few meters in unison, and the roaring storm of the guns erupted the dense gunpowder smoke into fiery balls of fire with a diameter of more than ten meters. With a deafening roar, suppressing the roar of hundreds of fighter planes in the sky, across the 48 kilometers of clear water in the sky, it soars towards the mountain and the port where fireworks are constantly rising!

In the underground command hall, on the holographic screen, in less than a second, the 48 ballistic arcs of the cannon fired by the Japanese warship were accurately marked. Zhu Bin only glanced at it and found that there was no important target On the landing point, he breathed a sigh of relief, punched hard and shouted: "Fire!"

A violent tumbling smoke came out of the hidden fort on the mountainside, followed by an earth-shattering explosion that swept across the entire military port. Dozens of smoke columns shot out by the aerial bombs were all blown away by the muzzle storm. Six 6 The kilogram-weight 300mm armor-piercing projectiles lined up in a slash with only a few milliseconds of launch error, and rushed towards the Japanese heavy cruiser swimming slowly on the sea!

The mutual disturbance of the muzzles of the triple-mounted turret is effectively reduced by the electronic slowing equipment. The spread area between the three shells does not exceed 300 yards. Even if it flies 23 kilometers away, it can be accurately limited to a calibrated area!

"Boom!" "Boom!"

The two explosions exploded successively at two ends more than 20 kilometers apart. The Japanese artillery shells fired first spread over an area of ​​two kilometers, and the farthest group almost hit the research center on the south side of the military base, causing clusters of explosions. The fire and shrapnel storm swept across the 150-meter-diameter area. Wherever it passed, the carefully planted pines and cypresses were cut off at the waist, and they were roughly torn into pieces, and the flames splashed one by one!

Seven or eight blasts hit the 30-meter-thick reinforced concrete structure of the breakwater above water. The embankment is completely built with huge stones with a diameter of 2-3 meters and a weight of [-] to [-] tons. The strength of the embankment is beyond imagination. The thick concrete pouring blocks on the surface The high-explosive shells were tenaciously blocked, only to be blasted into a shocking hole, and the entire embankment was as stable as Mount Tai!

More than a dozen shells blasted into the wide military port, and even one almost hit the cave under the camouflage of the light curtain. The rumbling water column was almost higher than the top of the mountain, and the waves it set off were in a long, 500-meter-wide The turbulent back and forth between the docks, the waves splash seven or eight meters high!But all the battleships parked behind are safe and sound!

The rest of the shells were concentrated on the front of the mountain, and the violent explosion shook the ground like a mountain. The whole mountain seemed to be trembling. The dense explosion of fireworks covered the entire mountain in an instant. The nearest explosion point was at In the partition wall of the lowest global defense base, the vicious shock wave directly tore through a huge gap more than 20 meters wide in that weak wall, and all the glass of the adjacent buildings burst into pieces!

Yoshida Zengo didn't wait to see the results of the shooting, so he used a 120mm large-caliber telescope from the high bridge to spot the launch of the opposite mountain. He just wanted to sneer disdainfully, laughing at the opponent's maximum strengthening range of no more than 22 kilometers , and then he was suppressed by the sound of several groups of strange churning air currents!

"No! This is not the artillery that was fired earlier! The Chinese also have other large-caliber coastal firepower!"

He had seen clearly the 305mm turret and the 150mm coastal defense cannon that had been exposed earlier. The barrels of these two kinds of artillery were not enough, and the range was far from enough to threaten the battleship. That's why he dared to get so close, but it was obvious that his The judgment was wrong!These damned guys still have a hand now!

In the command hall of the mountain, Zhu Bin’s smile was particularly ferocious. He held back all kinds of hardships, just to vent freely at this moment, so not only did he save the 40mm triple-mounted fort on the mountainside with a maximum range of nearly 280 kilometers until the end, the four 305mm The old naval guns have always played in their original colors, and more than a dozen 150mm skc28s are deliberately compressed to a range of less than 22 kilometers, which is a little bit hidden compared to the original 23 kilometers. After laser hardening and chrome plating, it can allow more High-intensity charge, this launch is a version after strong charge, and the range has been increased to 27 kilometers!

Six 280mm cannons, two 2mm cannons, and twelve 305mm cannons were all aimed at a target area. Just a few seconds after the Japanese artillery shells hit the head, they blasted into an area with a radius of one square kilometer. Unfortunately, The heavy cruiser "Atago" is cruising inside!

"Boom!" Intensive explosions swept across the entire sea, and Yoshida Zengo saw with his own eyes that the world's strongest heavy cruiser "Atago", which had just launched into service for less than two years, was submerged in a jungle of water columns that rose hundreds of meters into the sky among!

"Don't do it!" Yoshida Zengo almost crushed the telescope, shouting silently in his heart!Seeing the largest jets of water moving a little far away from the battleship, just as I missed a call from Amaterasu, I suddenly heard a few unusual explosions, and vaguely saw the "Atago" jump up strangely !

Immediately afterwards, two groups of huge flames with a diameter of hundreds of meters roared and rose above the sea, and the heavy bridge of the "Atago" tore, shattered, and flew in all directions from the middle with an unstoppable wild momentum. she!

Then another ball of fire erupted from under the main mast at the back, and the simple four-cornered iron tower was uprooted. After flying tens of meters, it disintegrated into hundreds of steel parts in mid-air, and fell towards the sea hundreds of meters in all directions. The weak upper deck of the No. 4 turret was directly penetrated, and a 280mm shell pierced through several thin structures below, and plunged into the ammunition depot located too high, stagnated quietly for about two or three seconds, and exploded. !

Hundreds of rounds of 203mm shells and propellant charges piled up inside exploded together. The huge explosion caused the entire heavy cruiser with a displacement of more than 1 tons and a self-weight of more than 4200 tons to jump several meters high, and then violently exploded from the rear Suddenly, the two piggyback turrets No. 100 and No. [-] first flew up more than [-] meters, disintegrated in the air, and then the slender hull keel broke in the "Kalala", and the second half was followed by an explosion The explosion rushed away from the main body in a hurry, and the accelerated acceleration of the front half caused a large wave of waves to rush onto the bow of the ship!

The captain on the conning tower and a group of senior officers barely endured the pain of losing the giant ship. A 305mm high-explosive bomb hit in the middle was sent back to Kudanzaka, and the bloated and huge world's most majestic bridge was blown away A large hole with a diameter of seven or eight meters, the upper half including the watchtower of the command room flew into the sky together, and the mast next to it was distorted out of shape, crookedly broken and smashed on the top of the chimney behind!

"Impossible!" Yoshida Zengo leaned out of the watchtower with half his body, his eyes almost popped out, and he let out a heart-piercing scream!

How can there be such a thing!Naval giant artillery bombardment often doesn't seem to be effective for half an hour. Those who can really hit the target with a range of 20 kilometers away in a few rounds are considered lucky, but why the opponent can hit it with just a single shot And directly sank the strong "Atago"!What kind of cannon did they use and how did they do it? !

Even if the coastal defense guns are stable enough, they are all large-caliber shells. Whether they can be hit after they are fired depends on luck. Is the opponent's luck so good that they have been blessed by the gods of all parties? !I did not disturb the Guanyin Bodhisattva on Mount Putuo!

"Your Excellency, Commander! Please order the fleet to retreat immediately, the range of the Chinese fortress is beyond our estimate!" The subordinates at the side saw him as a little stupid, and hurriedly persuaded him loudly.

"Yes! Yes! Order the fleet to speed up and withdraw to a distance of 30 kilometers!" Yoshida Zengo spent his whole life in the sea, calmed down a little, and immediately chose the most sensible course of action.

But, easier said than done!In order to ensure the continuity and precision of the shooting, the fleet is moving slowly at a low speed, and it will take time to speed up at this moment!But this is the worst time!

These single-seat turrets, which are intensively used by intelligent radar fire control units, have higher shooting accuracy!A dozen or so guns launched together still produced a uniformly distributed marked kill area. The "Atago" which was still drifting slowly encountered violent replenishment. The cannonballs that fell from the sky exploded into the air, killing people in all directions!
