The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

() Nagumo Chuichi felt very terrified again and again!

This situation is too dangerous!If the opponent's battleship really mixed in and pushed into the advantageous strike range of more than ten kilometers to shoot at him, but he didn't notice it at all, and he was blindly passively beaten, how miserable the end would be, he had personally experienced it. Second-rate!

He is very clear about how thick the armor of "Yamato" is.In order to ensure that the armor is strong enough to block the Chinese main gun, at the beginning of the successful research and manufacture of the new steel plate, it did not hesitate to take out hundreds of tons of steel for close-range penetration experiments, using its own "Nagato-class" main gun, It should be said that the difference in power and penetration ability with the opponent is very small, and the experimental results show that at a distance of about 20 kilometers, the thick armor of 410mm on the side is enough to resist the opponent's blow!

Because of the various technical updates brought by Zhu Bin, not only caused the flood of advanced German metallurgical technology and products, but also the sporadic sales of titanium alloy and Kevlar materials to the outside world also had a huge impact on various military equipment!

In order to pull Ri himself as an accomplice, Hitler did not hesitate to export some sensitive products. After some of the Kevlar fiber plates and titanium alloy plates were obtained by Ri himself, they were all piled up on the battleship "Yamato".Due to the limited quantity, it is impossible for these materials to cover the entire battleship. Therefore, liners were added to the most critical sensitive parts such as the bridge, main turret, and the second layer of the side armor box to enhance the anti-strike capability. ..

Theoretically speaking, the current "Yamato" and even battleships of the same level, if it is not very unlucky to be bombarded by capped armor-piercing projectiles at a close-range supersonic end at a large angle, it is not easy to penetrate.Even if a torpedo with a charge of 320 kg was thrown to the bottom and exploded, there would be no problem if one or two went down.

But now, the opponent's cannonball pierced through the thickest side armor, and the sound and power of the explosion sounded similar to that of a high-explosive grenade. What kind of shell can it produce?

Nagumo Tadashi seemed to see the scene of the "Ki-class" battleship being brutally tortured to death a few months ago.The picture of countless 406mm shells penetrating wantonly from all angles is so unforgettable, and it also made him shudder.If such a tragedy happens again today, then there will be no hope for the future of the entire Imperial Navy!

"No! Never admit defeat!"

Nanyun Zhongyi suddenly clenched his fist, gritted his teeth and shouted in a deep voice: "Aim at the suspicious position of the enemy ship and open fire with all your strength! Make sure to find him in the shortest possible time. Kill him!"

"Hi!" The officer under his command was busy for a while.

"Yamato" is called "Yamato Hotel", the interior decoration and facilities are extremely luxurious and advanced, and even installed solar light tubes imported from China, which not only save electricity, but also have a long lifespan!Of course, the price is also a top ten expensive, if it is not for these two unprecedented super warships built with the strength of the whole country, it is absolutely impossible to afford it.

Your Excellency the Commander has become ruthless, of course the people below will not bear the humiliation.Five gun turrets, large and small, each pointed at the predetermined area, and "boom, boom, boom" fired in unison. Fifteen large and small naval guns at different speeds blasted a wide explosion area with a radius of five kilometers on the sea fifteen kilometers away!

During the firing interval, two night reconnaissance planes were ejected. The pilots were determined to die, with menstrual belts wrapped around their heads, and their wide-eyed eyes flying close to the sea.Their goal is to find traces of enemy ships in the shortest possible time.As long as the target can be found, it will be worthwhile for them to crash to death in the end!The empire will never treat them badly!

The entire Japanese ship formation has entered an unprecedented state of tension!

As the perpetrator, Zhu Bin pierced the side armor of "Yamato" with a single shell.Facing the clear damage picture on the screen, he smacked his lips and sighed in dissatisfaction: "The power of the naval gun is still a bit weak! After finally piercing through the armor, it seems that the damage caused is not too big. , if you do it like this, at least you have to fire a hundred and eighty cannons to be effective! It's not worth it!"

Although the power of metal hydrogen ammunition is huge, the price is also extremely expensive!In addition to the clear strategic missiles and his "big-billed parrot" that can be used indiscriminately, as a large number of warships, at least ten "Yingzhou-class" guided missile cruisers must be built, and it is impossible to replace all of them with such precious ones. It's really because the production of metal hydrogen requires the unique fusion reactor of the spacecraft to achieve it, and the output is too low!

In the 127mm main gun of the naval gun, the price of the tungsten carbide wire bundle used for the body of the armor-piercing projectile is already very expensive. The explosive warhead made inside has a total of one kilogram of metal-hydrogen mixed crystalline explosives. , The cost of such a round can catch up with a hundred rounds of ordinary cap-piercing bullets, which are fully loaded, which is wasteful and expensive!

Tesla, however, was lying on the screen excitedly, carefully studying the damage results scanned by the small unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, shaking his head and sighing: "Unexpectedly, such a backward industrial capacity of Japan can actually manufacture such a powerful armor! It seems that they The ability to absorb British and German armor steel manufacturing technology is still good. I have to say that people in this country have a certain quality in learning. Unfortunately, it is not a good thing!"

God Tesla has always supported and appreciated people who are smart and studious, but it is not what he likes to use their intelligence to destroy the world, cause massacres, and destroy human nature.However, the two most technologically advanced places in the world, Germany and Japan, are actually such bastards, which is really regrettable!

Straightening up, he said with a smile: "Originally, the target of our electromagnetic reconnection accelerator is below heavy cruisers. Expensive and heavily armored targets like battleships still need larger caliber main guns and more powerful shells to deal with them." ! That will not be realized until the 'Kunlun class' enters service. Presumably by then, the new 420mm main gun will be able to show satisfactory performance!"

Zhu Bin nodded and gave up the entanglement.

Yes, originally the main means of attack of the "Yingzhou class" were various missiles, not small-caliber naval guns.It's just that in this era, all kinds of materials and electronic components used in missiles, rocket engines, turbine engines, even propellants, warheads, etc., are all expensive products, except for its fully automatic production line, which can exceed reality. In addition to dozens of times the efficiency of manufacturing, even manual production is unaffordable.

Therefore, unless you are dealing with a really valuable target.Otherwise, he really doesn't intend to overkill.In addition, this thing has been used a lot, and it will inevitably attract the attention of the whole world. If the seduced powers join forces to start a war, it will be really embarrassing!

In contrast, the "Kunlun class" is not so conspicuous.The appearance is a conventional battleship structure, with a forest of turrets, but it has one more missile launcher than others, and the main weapon is still a large-caliber heavy artillery.

The difference is that the 420mm main gun of the "Kunlun class" adopts an overall technology that surpasses the contemporary one too much. The base material made by electroslag remelting and plasma high-purity metallurgy has more than two or three times the strength and mechanical properties of conventional metallurgy. The double-layer gun barrel has undergone internal chrome plating, laser strengthening and super large gravity magnetic treatment, which can withstand the impact of instantaneous high temperature and high pressure.The corrosion resistance of launch agents, the friction loss of shells, etc. have been greatly improved.

According to the results of the final calculation, the triple-mounted turret is slightly lighter than the 406mm "Taishan-class" turret. The life of the barrel and the chamber is at least 1500 rounds. It can almost be said that there is no need to replace it in this life.

In terms of power, the long-body tube lengthened to 50 times the diameter can reach a range of 48 kilometers. If the bottom row of extended-range ammunition is used.It can hit a terrifying range of 63 kilometers!Of course, the distance and precision are not easy to say.

Even the regular best strike range of 1528 kilometers.The precision of the terminal spread of no more than 100 meters is terrifying enough, and the high penetration brought by the terminal storage speed, if you use capped armor-piercing bullets, you can easily kill the 410mm side armor belt of the "Yamato class".

At that time, that guy will be the main weapon against these super battleships!

Today, two warships that are seriously unequal meet unexpectedly.It was the right idea for Zhu Bin to use the opponent as a target to experiment with weapons. It would inevitably take time to sink something.Could it be possible to kill him directly with missiles?

It seems that it is a very tempting goal!

Zhu Bin thought of this.His eyes lit up, he rested his chin to calculate, hesitating for a while, unable to make a decision.

no.After thinking about it, he temporarily gave up this tempting idea.To deal with Ri himself, he can strike at any time, but his long-term goal is to use Ri himself as a bait to drag the entire Western powers into the water. If other measures are taken to toss, the Japanese themselves will surrender in a very simple way. Before they commit the heinous crimes of the whole nation, they try to directly kill a world-recognized civilized country. This resistance is too great!

Let them be the targets of this experiment first!

Ahead, the salvo of the main and auxiliary guns of the "Yamato" exploded with spectacular water jets and flashes, almost exposing the target of the "Yingzhou", and shocked the officers and soldiers on board, leaving them behind The "Suruga" battleship was also ordered to turn quickly, and at the same time began to fire with the triple 410mm main gun on the stern to join the bombardment of the battle group. The heavy cruiser injured on the right wing also helped reinforcements. The artillery fire blew up the fifteen-kilometer-wide sea area in the middle to explode again and again, roaring and shaking the sky!

"Hey! The little devil is smart enough! It's not easy to judge where we are right!"

Zhu Bin teased calmly.In my heart, I also admire the quality of the Japanese navy. If it were an ordinary person, those who were blinded and bombarded repeatedly, resisting or fleeing in vain without seeing the opponent's location, chaos is the most likely.Not only did they not escape, but they also quickly fired at suspicious areas to directly investigate. These methods are not just as simple as being brave, but their overall quality is amazing!

This is the disadvantage of single-ship confrontation. No matter how good the equipment is, as long as you enter the area where the opponent's main gun can see, it is too difficult to hide. Risky incorrect tactics matter.

The "Yingzhou" remained unmoved, and headed toward the explosion area in the face of the increasingly dense artillery strikes. Another round of armor-piercing shells was stuffed into the main gun, aiming at the "Boom" of the "Yamato". go out!

Within a dozen kilometers, almost every hit! The warhead fired at 6 times the speed of sound has a diameter of less than 76mm after shelling, but its kinetic energy is extremely terrifying. After a flash, it precisely shot into the towering bridge of the "Yamato", and the sharp warhead pierced through the accumulation unstoppably The thick sandbags on the surface, the detonation effect brought by the tip shock wave even shattered the pile of sandbags, a nearby triple anti-aircraft gun was blown up, and three Japanese soldiers flew up and fell down on the spot!

There is also a layer of external armor close to the main body of the bridge, which is learned from the Chinese, using purchased fiberglass plus some ceramics, thin titanium alloy and Kevlar.And thick nylon, composed of plates with a thickness of 150mm. It is said that the experimental results have proved that the hood of the 410mm armor-piercing projectile can be deflected, resulting in insufficient penetration performance.

But in front of a tungsten carbide warhead with several times the speed of sound, it is no different from straw paper, and it hardly brings [-]% of the resistance, and it still shatters!

Behind is the real main body of the bridge!Improved Vickers armor structure.A layer of Kevlar and a layer of fiberglass are stuffed in the middle, and an armor steel layer imported from Germany, and a layer of expensive "Igarashi" aluminum alloy is embedded in it. The overall construction of the bridge, the main armor, and the middle liner , rear armor, add up to more than 500mm!On the other side of the command room, it has a thickness of 650mm!

Such a complex structure.Although the total amount of armor has exceeded the standard, the lightening and thickening of the material has greatly enhanced the defense ability!

The large-thickness Vickers armor in the front removes most of the kinetic energy and penetration speed of the sabot-piercing projectile, causing the projectile to deform and shatter rapidly. The beam fan-shaped sweep was blocked by the third layer of armor, and finally it did not completely penetrate, theoretically.The penetration ability that can kill 1500mm homogeneous steel plate has been greatly weakened!

There are five full layers of defensive armor belts before and after. Ri's own goal is to resist the penetration of the 460mm main gun.And the blow of the unknown super lethal weapon that they haven't seen yet, it's definitely not a joke!

The final explosion finally erupted after a millisecond pause!The warhead exposed after the projectile body was completely shattered was still not deformed much. The original structural forward explosive force was reflected back after being distorted by multiple layers, like a volcano erupting from the inside. The spectacular bridge tore a three-meter-wide hole and almost wiped out the side building structure!

on the huge bridge.The flames with a diameter of tens of meters suddenly rose into the sky, and the impact and vibration caused by the explosive force made the entire battleship tremble. and inside the compass bridge.The officers below Nagumo Chuichi were all staggering and dizzy!

But this time, Nanyun Zhongyi was surprised and delighted, pushed the officer who came up to help him, and shouted loudly: "Hey! The Chinese warship we are facing is not firing giant artillery shells, but A guy with a small caliber! Gentlemen, once you find them, you can easily kill him with our main gun!"

All the legions were shocked and surprised when they heard this!If this is the case, how great will it be to improve morale!

In just a few hours of confrontation, they were blindly beaten passively, but they couldn't even find their opponents anywhere, which made the whole fleet tense. If it continued until dawn, most of the morale would be weakened!In particular, if it is guessed that a battleship that can "stealth" may be beaten at close range, the tragic result that will never be spared is so helpless!

It is different now. Although the strike effect is amazing, since your Excellency the Commander said so, there must be a basis. If it is true, the opponent is not a battleship. "He"'s 460mm gun, even the heavy cruiser's 410mm or 203mm secondary gun, is estimated to be able to beat him to death!

Nagumo Chuichi immediately stated the basis for his judgment: "Don't look at the astonishing power of the explosion. Didn't you realize that the reaction of the battleship when it was collided was actually not strong! It shows that the caliber of the shell is not large, and the damage caused by the explosion is It is also extraordinary, there is a high possibility that it is the special weapons of the Chinese cruiser!"

It may not be obvious to the naked eye, but Chuichi Nagumo has a wealth of personal experience.Generally speaking, the heavy artillery shells of battleships come through the air, the rumbling roar is inevitable, and the terminal speed is not so fast, but now, the flying sound comes after a long time after the explosion, and it sounds completely different , there is a problem.

The second is the feeling of kinetic energy impact. He has personally experienced the instant vibration of the 406mm caliber main gun hitting the battleship many times. The way it exploded after penetrating the human body is completely different!

Regardless of whether it is true or not, no one doubts it. Your Excellency the Commander released the judgment result to all ships as quickly as possible, and another round of shelling search was also blasted out. This time, the "Suruga" also The turn was basically completed, and with the addition of the main and auxiliary guns of another heavy cruiser, a total of thirty or forty cannons were scattered, blasting a large water column in the area with a diameter of ten kilometers in Zhongyang, and one of them exploded in the air. The grenade unexpectedly illuminated a slender blurred figure!

"Battleship China! We found it!"

The weird shape, the extremely simple upper deck structure, the round top radar bridge, the extremely simple mainmast, the location, everything and everything shows that that guy is not his own!

Nanyun Zhongyi was shocked and shouted: "Fire with all your strength! Kill him!"

"Fire! Fire! Fire!"

The main and auxiliary guns of various calibers of the three ships roared together, and dozens of tons of dense shells rushed towards the "Yingzhou"! (To be continued..)

ps: Do you dare to be hot again?
