The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

After three salvos, both Wang Wenda and the captains of the two "Taishan-class" battleships discovered the abnormality of the "Hiei", especially the double detection by satellites and pre-alert cameras, as well as the abnormal movement under radar scanning. The trajectory, and the picture of the smoke from the stern, let them quickly judge that the guy might have broken the rudder!

The fourth round was urgently stopped and the center was readjusted, and the six turrets of the two ships were readjusted for loading.This time, instead of just six rounds of armor-piercing rounds, the remaining twelve rounds were replaced with high-explosive rounds with higher firing speed, lighter weight, but greater destructive power!

The charge increased from 18 kg to 70 kg, and the high-explosive bombs with a certain increase in speed and range arrived at a faster speed, whistling, and one of them hit the slowly climbing seaplane, weighing a full 862 kg. The iron bumps smashed the flimsy little plane down the middle, and the kinetic energy carried by the hurricane projectile and the shock force caused by the impact of the air caused the whole body to be smashed into pieces in an instant. Just knocking off the hood was not enough to cause an explosion, but it also shattered the upper part of the plane. The pilot, the deputy captain, and His Royal Highness were all smashed into meat at once!

The small plane disintegrated in the air, exploded into countless fragments, and scattered on the sea surface one after another. After the shells fell into the water, a thick water column more than 100 meters high was "boomed" and blasted the broken plane from bottom to top. When it came, it couldn't see the shape at all, only broken wooden boards and burning fragments floated and sank.

Just in time for Takamura Abe to see this scene, he was immediately stunned, trembling and unable to speak, even if the battleship was hit by a high-explosive bomb on the stern again, blowing up the crane and the bomb launcher, not to mention, " "It also blasted a large hole with a diameter of four meters on the mere 19mm thick deck.The tilted gun barrel of the C turret was also smashed and bruised, causing more than a hundred deaths and injuries!

Mr. Captain, he couldn't care about anything, even the chief engineer next to him reported the damage loudly, but he couldn't hear it. His mind was rumbling like a ball of rolling thunder, and only one thought was stirring back and forth. His Royal Highness was killed!

The thin prince was not very strong, even after a month of training in the navy.It just became a little bit darker. If such a flesh and blood body was hit by a shell, it would not be able to withstand it even if it had great abilities. At this moment, it might turn into a piece of flesh that could not be assembled, and it would be completely washed away by the sea water. It's gone, there is no use for it except to feed the fish!

However, such a noble person was so unlucky to be killed.What a sensation it will be for the entire navy, the entire empire!Don't say that he is the commander, he is Commander Yamamoto 56, I am afraid he doesn't know what to do? !

Takaso Abe was stunned for half a minute, until the fifth round of salvo hit, and another shell blew up the rear funnel, mast, and rear bridge, and the mast broke from the middle and flew more than a hundred meters away. .The chimney tore a big hole from the waist and gurgled thick smoke, and the rear bridge was torn from the root at a short distance of less than three meters and half of it was blown off.Most of the members inside were killed. The weak deck couldn't stop the heavy shells from penetrating. It actually hit the top of the power cabin and exploded, destroying a boiler and the main engine. The raging fire burst out from the bottom, engulfing the black Thick smoke filled the air.Wrap the whole battleship in it!

The three turrets of the "Hiei" were bombed or smashed and lost their function. Only the d turret barely remained intact. Facing the danger of the ammunition depot being detonated.The damage management tried their best to put out the fire, but the water was poured to level the tilt, and the breach could not be blocked. The speed dropped from 25 knots to 14 knots, and the smoke was billowing, which was spectacular!

Takasuke Abe swallowed his saliva with difficulty, nodded to the navigator, closed his eyes and made some calculations, and found that the battleship will not sink for a while, but it will definitely not last long, even if the opponent does not continue to bomb, sooner or later he will be stupid If you rush to the vicinity of others, it only takes one torpedo to kill them.

There is no choice!

He took a deep breath, personally grabbed the phone to call the temporary flagship, and reported to Yamamoto 56 in a hoarse voice: "Your Excellency, Commander! There is very bad news to report to you! Your Royal Highness... Unfortunately, it is broken!"

"What?!" Yamamoto 56 couldn't believe his ears. He didn't hang up the phone until the other party repeated it again, looking blankly at the smoke column rising into the sky in the distance, and muttered to himself, "Sure enough...it is Did such a tragedy happen?"

Chief of Staff Fu Liufan heard it clearly from the side, his black face turned pale in shock, his eyes widened and he exclaimed: "How could this happen!? I just started to get close, but I was hit by the Chinese warship... Or Knocked out in flight? That's unbelievable!"

Yamamoto 56 looked at the sky and sighed faintly: "Perhaps Amaterasu didn't want to see us take it too easy. Such a tragedy actually arranged for it to happen. I bear the inescapable responsibility! Originally, it was completely avoidable!"

In fact, he wanted to say that if they were arranged on two "Nagato-class" battleships, they would die earlier now.Originally, Yamamoto 56 fully considered all kinds of dangers, and the two battleships were the primary targets, so the prince was not allowed to go up, but arranged in the "comparison" with the best comprehensive facilities, especially self-rescue conditions and speed. Rui" went up, but the result was still so sad.

Tears welled up in the corners of Yamamoto 56's eyes, he shook his head lightly, his body slumped all of a sudden, as if he had aged ten years, and said in a manly voice: "Since it is irreparable, then don't look for reasons to shirk responsibility! We , we still have to work hard to complete the mission, and of course give His Royal Highness the utmost revenge! Order the flight regiment, all attack, the target, the enemy's capital ship, kill them at all costs!"

Enemy lure mission or something, that's it!If you don't deal a heavy blow to the other party, you can't explain it no matter what!

Following his order, the remaining sun planes that were entangled in the air suddenly changed their formations, desperately accelerating to disperse their formations, and from the wide airspace, they either detoured or went high and low, and crazily charged towards the direction of the two battleships!

The "Flying Shark Wall" blocking the front was caught off guard, and the desperate interception only stopped half of them. Hundreds of Japanese planes flying from the mainland successfully broke through, and two battalions of twin-engine bombers even circled around the main position. , rushed over from behind, and collided with the defense fleet!

Wang Wenda was excited about killing another enemy ship, and the communications chief of "Republic of Steel Maniac" suddenly notified him with a strange expression: "Commander Wang! We just intercepted a strange telegram, the deciphered content, The younger brother of Emperor Hirohito died in battle... It seems that we killed a prince just now! He is also the younger brother of the Emperor of Japan!"

"What the hell!?" Wang Wenda thought he heard it wrong, is this too outrageous?On such a battlefield, how could a royal relative appear? !Could it be that the Japanese royal family is worthless because of its large number of people, so they will die if they get it out?

The chief of communications repeated: "There is no mistake! The message we intercepted was sent to Tokyo in the name of the enemy commander. In addition, we also intercepted the wireless communication sent by the battleship 'Hiei' to other warships, which reported Similar content. It seems that the prince who was killed is on the 'Hiei'!"

They had no chance of discovering that the unfortunate prince had died in a seaplane shattered by shells, but that was enough news.It proves that Ri himself is not lying, but when something like this happened, it was not in their plan at all!

Wang Wenda's head turned three times immediately, and he grinned and said, "This is a big game! You say this little devil is too, why did he come on the battleship when he was free? He was killed... What should the little devil do?" Won't you go crazy over this?"

"They are already crazy!" Chief of Staff Fu Zhenhua continued, and at the same time showed him the sudden escalation of the battle situation in the air, "The Japanese army is obviously out of control! They have paid huge losses in order to break through the defense line, but without exception, they rushed We came here, like this, we will not give up until we are killed!"

Wang Wenda snorted nonchalantly: "It's just a dream to kill us with this bunch of things! A bunch of broken planes, let him" come! Order the capital ship to continue bombing, and don't let an enemy ship go! Let me go! Fight to the death!"

"Understood!" The chief of communications conveyed the order to all the battleships, and the bombardment of the two battleships continued to jubilate. Just when the Japanese fighter planes barely broke through the air defense line, they hit the "Hiei" with two shells again, one of which hit the bridge , halfway down the middle, causing it to be completely paralyzed, and the other shot penetrated the deck from the bow and penetrated into the ammunition depot of the A turret, causing a violent explosion, blowing the keel of the battleship to pieces, and it was about to capsize at any time!

But the air power of the Japanese army finally came to kill it!A simple line of defense cannot be foolproof. A group of more than 20 "Ultimate Zero Fighters" rushed into the 15-kilometer near-defense border line without formation, and were killed by the "Iron Curtain" anti-aircraft rocket array of the light patrol. Suddenly rushed to the height of [-] meters, plunged down from the zenith, almost vertical angle, that posture, actually wanted to continue the previous "Kamikaze Special Attack", directly hit the battleship with a fighter plane, and burn all jade and stone together!

Wang Wenda saw it clearly, grinning and sneering: "Sure enough, it's this move again! Is it enough just not to be afraid of death? I want to kill Lao Tzu's battleship, just dreaming!"

Two "capital-class" heavy cruisers sounded the air defense alarm. At the same time, two eight-barreled multi-barreled launchers on both sides of the middle of the two ships rotated and adjusted their direction, facing the air at a high elevation angle, and fired a burst of fire. A tiny figure with a long tail flame! (To be continued.)
