The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Chapter 697 Siege of the Second Fleet

() "If this continues, there will be big problems! If not, the fleet will be defeated!"

Nan Yunzhong watched helplessly as the "Owari" was hit with smoke all over in just a few minutes, and most of the offensive firepower subsided all of a sudden, and it was crookedly bumping among the waves, and it was difficult to even aim and fire. , my heart sank involuntarily, and a bad feeling suddenly rose.

The gap between the strike capabilities of the two sides is not a big one, but several times. From the density of the shells and the distribution of the landing points, it can be clearly seen that the opponent has extraordinary control capabilities, and it is not the same as in the previous legends or in his personal experience. , compared with the Pacific naval battle, it is more precise and stable, as if the veterans are operating the entire fleet in an orderly manner! ..

The confidence in his heart that he would definitely win dissipated like a punctured balloon. Nagumo Chuichi became more and more uncomfortable. When another round of shells fell, he ignored his flagship, which was more than a kilometer behind. , still covered the "Owari", and hit the deck again, causing damage through the explosion. After paralyzing the c turret, he immediately issued an order: "'Owari' immediately withdraw from the battle, and work with 'Suruga' to break through the siege Go home!"

The chief of communications almost thought he was wrong, because based on his experience, he would only voluntarily withdraw when he was really invincible, and it was just the beginning. To actually issue such an order, it was still a result of bravery, decisiveness, fearlessness and brute force. The famous Nagumo Commander?

Nanyun was not happy with such an order, and scolded with a sullen face: "What are you doing in a daze?! Do you want to watch the 'Owari' be completely sunk by the Chinese?! You must know that the order we accepted is to return to the mainland as soon as possible ! This is the decision of the Admiralty!"..

"Hi! Got it!"

At this time, I remembered the resolution of the Ministry of the Navy.Earlier, Commander Yamamoto told you to return desperately, but you, old man, insisted on getting out of the way with the East China Sea Fleet first. It would be best if you could kill a few battleships, and give the navy a sigh of relief... Is this a lookout? And escape?

If you retreat resolutely from the beginning, even if the East China Sea Fleet tries to stop it.With the strength of the Second Fleet, there is a great chance of rushing out.But at that time, not only Nagumo Chuichi, but the entire fleet felt it was a shame; after all, Commander Yamamoto personally carried out the tragic mission of luring the enemy, which made countless of them burst into tears!

But that's okay, it's better than foolishly resisting the opponent's gunfire and being beaten one-sidedly!

The light signal is played from the top. The "Owari" was strong enough in structure and did not lose control. Captain Raizo Tanaka did not understand Nagumo's change of mind, but he also knew the danger he was facing. He might not be able to withstand more rounds of shells. Before hitting the opponent, it is estimated that it must be finished first.

So he simply and resolutely carried out the order, and the complete power system of the "Owari" was running at full power, and with a flick of its tail, it pushed away the sea water and turned its head towards the east.This change of formation happened to avoid the next round of salvos, and was lucky to miss one of them.

The "Suruga" turned together from the rear, and under the escort of two heavy cruisers, three second-class light cruisers, and several destroyers, they formed a new team and went straight into the belly of the East China Sea Fleet.

In contrast, the ships of the East China Sea Fleet were pitifully sparse. Wang Wenda saw them clearly through the binoculars, and couldn't help but be surprised: "What are you doing, you little devil? They're all beaten up like dogs, and you're still playing split attack?"

"It's not like! Are they planning to run away? If they continue to fight, they will suffer a lot!" Fu Zhenhua made a keen judgment.

Wang Wenda sneered at this behavior: "When did they learn to be flexible? It's rare! However, I'm eyeing the fat head. Just stay obediently! Concentrate your firepower and kill him first!"

Take advantage of his illness.Kill him!The boiled duck still wants to fly away?dream!

"understand!"

This is the kind of order that a group of young artillerymen like to hear the most. It is too unlike the style of the navy to strike with the secret weapon of anti-ship missiles.

The two "Songshan" ships turned in response, biting each other and turning all three turrets to aim.The two ships "Taishan" and the distant "Taishan" gradually formed a confrontation pattern, and the shells that became dense again chased "Owari" relentlessly!

Nan Yunzhong was furious, why did he look down on me?He actually dared to show the chrysanthemum directly in front of him. Could it be that Lao Tzu's cannon was just a decoration and couldn't be hardened.Can't blow you up?

The squadron led by the second ship "Owari" and the main fleet formed an angle of [-] degrees, and Wang Wenda took the lead to cut across its tail, and it was inevitable to penetrate the waist and belly of the two ships "Ki". Putting himself in an extremely unfavorable position while the opponent continued to maintain his course, this made Nagumo Tadaichi ecstatic!

The distance between the two sides suddenly narrowed to about 26 kilometers, and the naked eye aiming of the two ships of "Kiyi" finally came in handy. The excited Japanese navy soldiers shook their spirits, gritted their teeth and aimed, and then fired loudly, forming a stride in one shot. For a while, the morale of the army soared!

Intensive explosions roared up from the side, looking astonishing. Wang Wenda remained unmoved, biting the two ships of "Owari" tightly and drawing a beautiful arc on the sea surface, successfully forming a sharp collision with it. After the corner, they shot together with a bang, gathering the heavy shells of the two ships of "Taishan", and hit the unlucky ghost again!

This time it was so right!Because of deceleration and hedging, the distance between the two sides is closer than the other, almost 20 kilometers, and the armor-piercing ability of the cannon can be fully utilized. The shells suspended at high speed and large angle drop rapidly at the end, forming a steep trajectory, accurate Hitting the middle and lower part of the "Owari" bridge, the capped armor-piercing projectile with an armor-piercing capacity of more than 500mm has amazing penetration. Not less than a dozen Japanese soldiers were broken, and they exploded!

The stalwart bridge jumped up in response, and was almost lifted up. Most of the technical officers and adjutants working inside were thrown up on the same spot, staggered here and there, or hit their heads badly, and the entire command system was paralyzed for a while!

From the outside, thick smoke billowed from the bridge of the "Owari", and the eye-catching big hole looked like the mouth of a giant beast. People kept running out with fire all over their bodies, jumping to the top of the turret below, screaming heart-piercingly Split lungs!

The tragedy is not over!Immediately afterwards, a round of salvo hit its stern rudder from the side, and at the same time deformed a propeller propeller. The battleship immediately remained in a straight-line posture, unable to turn around and evade, and the speed plummeted a lot.

At the same time, a shell formed a water drifting shell from the rear of the midship. The high-speed and low-level ballistic strike directly penetrated the armor belt about one meter below the waterline, and exploded after blasting the second compartment!A hole with a diameter of two meters was punched in the hull, and cracks extending to both sides, the sea water poured in, the hull tilted, and the speed dropped below 20 knots!

"I didn't run away!"

Satisfied, Wang Wenda picked up a big cigar, squinted his eyes and looked down on it from a distance. In this state, the enemy ship that was basically out of combat power was doomed, but it fired nearly ten rounds of shells back and forth, and it took hundreds of rounds to make it In this way, it seems that the naval artillery bombardment is really not very powerful.

"Boom!" A shell flew over suddenly, and skimmed over the surface of the trapezoidal main structure below the bridge. The projectile carried a huge kinetic energy and wiped out a half-meter-deep depression at the corner, and the nearby composite armor collapsed. A large piece, the shock brought by the huge force caught Wang Wenda off guard, and the soot fell on the white and straight military uniform.Then, the cannonball that fell into the water exploded, setting off a gleaming water column from the side spin, and pounced on the battleship!

"Cao!" Wang Wenda shook his body, threw away his cigar and slapped his clothes vigorously, but can the dirty stains be splashed off?Huibula's few pieces stuck on it, very conspicuous!

Angry!How dare you soil Lao Tzu's military uniform, you fucking don't want to live anymore!

Wang Wenda was furious. Looking at the radar tracking situation, it was the artillery shells fired from the flagship of the "Jiyi", and ordered unceremoniously: "Anti-ship missiles are ready! Target the enemy's flagship, and shoot with two rounds!"

On the other side, Xie Gangzhe, who was about to form an overlapping posture with him, also noticed the situation here, and couldn't help laughing: "You kid has finally overplayed it? The Japanese navy has experienced half a century, how can you underestimate it? Be down-to-earth Fight according to the predetermined strategy!"

Wang Wenda gritted his teeth and said resentfully: "I have to let it out first! By the way, let's see how lethal our anti-ship missiles are to this new ship!"

Xie Gangzhe didn't object, he actually wanted to know.

Not long after, the row of protruding upper covers on the rear deck of the "Songshan" slipped quietly, and two stout figures "huhu" rushed out of the exposed black lacquered hole, made a big turning point in the air, and jumped straight. To the Japanese ship!

The rest of the guidance strategy within this distance is saved, and the laser and fire control radar are used to double-lock directly. The flashing missile pulls out a dazzling beam of light in the night. It looks no different from an oversized tracer bullet. You are not blind. You can see clearly!

The long figure that accelerated crazily in a straight line was too conspicuous. Nanyun Zhongyi realized it all at once, his eyes were tightly locked, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help trembling. Is this the secret weapon that killed the "Nagato" and other three battleships? !Is it such a scene? !

Before he could have any more surprises, two "Spear" anti-ship missiles plunged down from the low altitude, and all hit the huge "Ki" hull!

One shot pierced the rear of the bridge from the side, shoveling off the 140mm secondary turret at the root, and the serial armor-piercing warhead directly broke through the double-layer armor and entered the lower cabin. A dazzling flash with a diameter of [-] meters rose from the middle and rear of the No. [-]", and then the C turret and the large deck next to it were smashed together, and the huge fireball set off thousands of tons of steel fragments roaring and scattered!

The "Kii" seemed to be loaded with a super torpedo, and the hull of more than 5 tons suddenly jumped from the sea, soaring high! (To be continued.)
