The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

() Wang Wenda replied lazily: "If you don't come, old Xie, I can't help but get rid of these grandchildren! Anyway, our fleet's actual combat training tasks are basically completed, and I don't care about accumulating more experience!"

Xie Gangzhe said with a smile: "Brother, I will accept your favor, thank you for being merciful and leaving us something delicious!"

Xie Gangzhe led the North Sea Fleet through full speed, and finally arrived at the predetermined combat area at a critical moment.

It is not easy to sneak and run hundreds of kilometers from the waters of the Yellow Sea at night, especially under the pervasive surveillance of the Japanese army.Of course, their purpose is also very clear, which is to cooperate with the East China Sea Fleet, completely block the Nanyun Fleet in the East China Sea, and prevent him from running back to the mainland! ..

To simply kill the Nanyun Fleet, relying on the East China Sea Fleet alone is almost the same, and the aviation force is added at worst, but this is not the key point. The main purpose is to give all the fleets precious and rare opportunities for actual combat training.

The so-called century-old fleet is not only difficult to establish, but also slow to cultivate talents. A large part of it is that the fleet must have enough actual combat to accumulate experience, temper the spirit, and create its own unique military spirit. It can come out by relying on more ships, so we must fight more, fight wars!The military soul can only be formed in the baptism of blood and fire!

The Chinese navy has quickly degenerated from a powerful maritime army in the late Qing Dynasty to a spearhead of warlords in melee, thugs who escorted corrupt officials in their struggle for power and profit. Already disappointed. ..

Zhu Bin's arrival finally gave him the hope of a comeback. In the last battle, Chen Shaokuan even boldly let the entire fleet go out to take risks, in order to completely reverse the decadent mental outlook of the entire Chinese navy.After a comprehensive merger and rectification, the four major fleets were reset, and the original backbone plus the rookies of the Zhu Legion were integrated into a group.The cohesion on the surface is not convincing, it must pass the actual combat test!

And the best whetstone is Japan!In terms of scale, combat effectiveness, and tenacity, they are all very suitable, and there is no burden on the morale of the army, and they can directly enter the critical stage of frontal fighting and life and death tests!

That's why Zhu Bin didn't let the air force and anti-ship missiles work directly.compare with.The Air Force has exercised enough, and the Navy, a gold-swallowing behemoth, is about to grow up, so it must seize the rare training opportunity!

Xie Gangzhe left behind the aircraft carrier and destroyer, and led the main force to kill them secretly. Wang Wenda only fired when he was about to enter the shooting process. Now that a few rounds have passed, Nagumo Zhongichi, who was changing formations, didn't realize that he happened to be double-teamed by the opponent. , especially the two battleships of the North Sea Fleet, which stopped the T-head from west to east, were stuck in the best position.The six turrets on the side are aimed at the same time!

After he exchanged greetings, Wang Wenda shouted: "Your brother, stop nagging! The little devil's flagship has retracted, just in your angle, strike!"

Xie Gangzhe straightened his face and sternly ordered: "Of course! Fire!"

The two ships "Taishan" and "Hengshan" shook at the same time, drifted more than ten meters laterally, and eighteen shells roared out of their chambers, cutting across the bows of "Ki" and "Owari" and killing them through the air!

The intense flash of light surprised the light cruiser clearing the way ahead.I looked carefully with wide-eyed eyes in disbelief, that's right!It's the battleship's main guns firing!that body.The size of the flame, the loud noise, all the same!

The lights flickered and the signal came out. Nanyun Zhongyi jumped up with a sulky face, and said in a deep voice: "Hey?! There is also a Chinese warship ahead? Are you sure you read it right!"

Of course you can't go wrong!This is China's waters.There are two powerful fleets floating in the narrow offshore waters. What's so strange about coming here from the north?Originally, because most of the waters of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea were too shallow, most of the battleships wandered back and forth in the east of Shandong, and the main guns could often hit North Korea without paying attention.What a surprise!

Nagumo Chuichi doesn't think so!He is most worried about such a situation!A single fleet is not scary, but the opponent has proved their strength by killing most of the main force of the First Fleet; now there is another group, so what is going on with those idiots who said that the Beihai Fleet is still in the north during the day! ?

"Baga! A bunch of trash! Don't the idiots of the Third Fleet know how to count? They don't even know that such a big battleship disappeared?!"

The size of the battleship is so conspicuous that it can be seen with a telescope from a high place on the coast, let alone a high-altitude aircraft, which can basically see the other side's shore when it goes up into the air. There is such a big omission!

The main forces of the two fleets and four battleships formed a T-shaped dominant formation with frontal intersections. If the second fleet wants to go home, it must break through their blockade, but no matter whether it goes north or east, it must face the opponent's cross-cutting superior formation Bit, do you turn back to the west?That's off the coast of China!You only do that if you want to die, go south?Who knows if the South China Sea Fleet is also here!

This is a trap!

Nanyun Zhongyi suddenly came to his senses!It's not that the other party really doesn't understand their own rules of action, nor is it that they don't have a little precaution. It's not that the East China Sea Fleet really dare not approach the Japanese mainland to hunt down the remnants of the First Fleet. They really have already set their minds on themselves!Think about it, everyone knows, what a tempting bait the four new battleships are!

Not allowing him to think too much, the North Sea Fleet crashed down for the first time in unison!Because they are almost parallel to each other, the distance between the two "Kii-class" battleships is less than one kilometer, and the outermost deviation of the shells aimed at the bow of his flagship is extremely small, and the rightmost side does not come out. The mezzanine between the two ships happened to be in the middle, and the front and rear were less than 100 meters away from the battleship, forming a near miss!

The unlucky one this time was the battleship "Owari". The commanding battleship bravely rushed up to block the eye-catching Sansa Tanaka, who never expected that he had just come across such a bad thing, and the side blow hadn't come yet. The shells hit first!

A shell landed less than 30 meters from the stern and exploded. The violently surging water wave hit the propeller on the right side severely, which seriously affected the work. The marine soldier Cao exclaimed for a while!

Fortunately, the power of the armor-piercing projectile was not strong enough to cause obvious damage, but for the sake of safety, the chief engineer decided to temporarily shut down the thruster for inspection to prevent further damage caused by hard opening.This is also good, the sudden speed reduction will increase the distance from the opponent, so as not to crash into the closer bombardment distance.

Nagumo Tadaichi was very calm, and immediately ordered the front turrets of the four battleships to turn immediately, and fired at the enemy ships in front. In this way, there are twelve intensive firepower, enough for them to drink a pot, and there are still eight 24 on the side. The number of doors has certain advantages.

In addition, let the light cruiser take the risk to move forward immediately, release the torpedo to drive after pushing in, it is of course better to be able to kill the opponent!

The situation couldn't be worse!It is very correct to suddenly slow down the forward sailing speed, take the initiative to turn to the right, and push the East China Sea Fleet into the melee.After all, the opponent has already fought a fierce battle with the First Fleet, and the main gun and medicine room have been used to a considerable extent, so the number of salvos must be limited!

In addition, there is another advantage, straight into the middle angle between the two attack groups, so that none of them can occupy the best position, but all of their turrets shoot at the best angle, which is the best choice in desperation !

The bombardment rhythm of the four "Kiyi-class" ships changed again, and the staggered firing sounds became more chaotic. On the vast sea, one after another flashes of light and loud noises shook the waves, and they were bombarded by eight giant ships within a hundred miles. The sound was so loud that no other movement could be heard.

Under the microwave communication link, the fire control systems of the two fleets condensed into one, and coordinated attacks under the command of the intelligent system. Twelve turrets attacked from the arc-shaped front, firmly locking the two enemy ships within one square kilometer. In the area, regardless of the opponent's howling shells, they will all be fired at once, covering them all at once!

The hit rate of such a concept shot has increased by more than two times at once, and the sparse gaps that were originally sparsely formed a waste of space, but now they are full all of a sudden, and the four ships shoot together at once and hit again!

The "Kii", which was given priority care, finally had bad luck this time. A shell shot from the front rubbed against the top of the bow flagpole and hit the deck, tearing the plaster flag which was swinging grinningly into pieces. The heavy armor-piercing projectile just hit the center of the A turret, forming an angle of about [-] degrees with its slanted protective armor!

The "Hengshan" fired the gun at a distance of less than 30 kilometers. Although it could not exert its maximum armor-piercing ability, the heavy shell was specially reinforced by the shell, which first crushed the outer shell of the turret. The composite armor (this is obviously from the Chinese cottage) hardly played any role and was broken into pieces. The inner main armor was obviously not hard enough. The sub penetrated into the 410mm thick composite steel plate!

The fierce impact kinetic energy shook the turret violently, and almost lifted it from the gun mount, and the gunner who was ready on the spot became unstable and fell to the side.But this process was too short to be ignored, because the warhead that squeezed the slender head into the armor exploded!

"Boom!" The power of the 18 kg crystalline alkyl mixed explosive is about four times that of ordinary charges, and it is almost the same as that of high-explosive bombs. I don't know how many sections of the winding steel wire were broken; all the composite armor hanging on the surface fell off and collapsed, like broken leaves in a strong wind!

The hard steel surface of the turret was blown to pieces, the nearest No. [-] main gun was completely destroyed, and the canopy almost fell off completely!

The worst thing is inside. The impact caused by the shells that went in hard deformed the armor plate. The force was so great that the people inside fainted or died on the spot, but the irregular jets formed by the explosion shattered the first half of the warhead and sprayed it in. , The trumpet-shaped flame formed completely charred and smashed the people inside into pieces in an instant!
