The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

The change of formation A of the coalition forces was also very fast. The arc of the first three ships had just been drawn, and the three behind slowed down, turned, and interspersed, and it took only a few minutes to form a V. When there was a big explosion, they finally moved to a more suitable position and launched another salvo bombardment!

Only this time, the "Yamato" is a bit miserable!

After more than a dozen rounds of volleys, the hit rate of the "Kunlun class" increased to more than 30.00%. Zhu Bin saw that the fire was about the same, so he began to mix high-explosive charge warheads into the volley.Conventional charges are all Hexokine or Otokkin. The mixed high-explosive charge in his hand is a crystalline alkyl explosive. The explosive power can reach up to eight times that of TNT, but the production is troublesome. There are few, so you can't be the main attacker of probability shooting.

But now, the opportunity has come!

The captain of the battleship "Kunlun Mountain" with string number 109 is Sa Shijun, a descendant of the famous old man Sa Zhenbing, and also the deputy commander of the ocean-going fleet. After entering Zhu Bin's navy in 34, he was reused. He was promoted all the way, smoothly, and basically participated in every foreign war. He has made outstanding achievements.

This time, as the deputy commander of the ocean-going fleet, he basically presided over the daily work, with great power in his hands. In the official battle, Zhu Bin basically did not issue specific orders, but he was in the middle of the command.

From the beginning of the battle to the present, the rhythm has been firmly under his control, he has successfully contained the coalition forces, and has entered the flexible stage of fighting and leaving as he wants!

Sa Shijun immediately understood when he saw that the opponent's battleship was still resisting like iron bumps after several consecutive volleys hit, and it seemed that it did not cause too much damage.It seems that the current bombardment power is still not strong enough, but after the hit rate has risen sharply, he made a decisive decision to switch to high-explosive bombs!

It is not a grenade that kills non-armored targets or land targets in the general sense, but an 18.8 kg standard explosive loaded in the warhead in an armor-piercing projectile.Change to the type of crystalline alkyl explosives!It has both the kinetic energy of armor-piercing projectiles and the detonation and destruction capabilities of grenades!

The commander of the gunner responded with an order: "Mount [-] is replaced with a Type II high-explosive bomb! The launch parameters are adjusted for a three-second countdown, three, two, one! It's over! Continue to fire!" The holographic operation interface changes the parameters of the artillery, and the guards below the ammunition depot quickly replace the warheads supplied upwards in order. The first gun of each turret is replaced with a different red-headed bullet!

If it is not for the difference in coating, the shape and weight of the Type II high-explosive bomb and the ordinary armor-piercing bomb are exactly the same, and the aerodynamic data is no different.However, the requirements for the initial speed and the final landing point are much higher, because the hit rate has to be taken into account, and the small update of the ammunition will double the price of the entire warhead. Save some money!

Especially in the face of an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, kill its vital forces in the fastest way.is the best choice!

After several months of running-in, the thousands of crew members on the "Kunlun Mountain" have no stumbling points in their work efficiency.From top to bottom, the water is smooth, and the cooperation is seamless. The captain above orders down, and the completion here is smooth, such as changing the ammunition type and data, and loading ammunition as usual.no difference!

The stability of the overall performance made Sa Shijun calm and calm. After all the adjustments were made, he could see clearer enemy ship targets in the distance. The triple calibration of the laser rangefinder, radar detection, and airborne early warning aircraft confirmed the distance accurate to meters. The corner of his mouth appeared A determined expression.Gently clenched his fist with his right hand, and ordered in a deep voice: "Target Yamato, five rounds of salvo, hit!"

"boom!"

The "Kunlun Mountain" shook slightly, nine shells whizzed out of its chamber, and crossed salvos with the "Tianshan" behind it, and the final meeting point was the "Yamato" in a hasty maneuver!

But Gao Liuyisan didn't know that the guy on the opposite side had already replaced the high-explosive bomb. At this time, he was sweating profusely directing the crew of No. [-] to run desperately, trying every means to make himself alive in the end under the premise of being a good meat shield. come down!

The two damaged main guns could not be resolved for a long time, and the damage control did not dare to go to the deck to find excitement. The continuous bombardment exploded around the battleship every time, and the huge waves and shock waves were gently swept away. Either they were shot to death on the steel surface, or they were blown into the sea without knowing their lives!

Another dense shell bombarded the head, and even the gunpowder smoke from the muzzle when the opponent fired was clearly visible. Gao Liuyisan didn't bother to order to avoid it---the distance of twenty kilometers, the flying speed of the shells was less than 1 minute, if you want to It's hard to run away, and the worst thing is, every time he makes a maneuver, it just falls into the opponent's scheme, what's going on!

Gao Liuyisan felt that the big ship she was alive was cursed and possessed by ghosts, otherwise so many incredible and incomprehensible things would not have happened.

Of course he didn't know, whether it was the Japanese navy or him, the routines and inertial movements of the usual battles were all clearly felt. It was really Zhu Bin who said, "Everything is under control"!

"Boom---hum!"

The huge explosion sound was full of surging power, and the heart of the shaking people was stuffy like a cowhide drum beating around them!

Choose one of the three high-explosive bombs for a mixed attack, a wave of meritorious deeds!

A Type II high-explosive bomb came rushing close to the sea level, and blasted fiercely above the waterline armor from the side of the bow along the curvature of the earth!The terrible kinetic energy and armor-piercing power smashed the outer layer of hardened armor like an egg shell, and the warhead immediately blasted into the second layer of 200mm armor belt, and was abruptly stopped, so it didn't enter the A turret in one go. The center of the pedestal, but the ensuing big explosion caused unprecedented destruction!

The overall power of this high-explosive bomb is equivalent to twice the grenade, or the 140 kg TNT standard of an air-launched torpedo. Suddenly broke out!

The "Yamato" was shaken violently by the force of the explosion, trembling one after another, starting from the point of impact, a horrifying hole spewed out tens of meters of flames, with bright molten steel mixed in the middle!

Inside, in that narrow compartment.The solid square structure couldn't withstand the violent extrusion impact, and the concave inner armor shattered by the warhead shattered a seemingly small hole, but let thousands of degrees of high-pressure hot air and explosion flames rush in at once. , sprayed violently along the gap, and swept the main body of the vertical bomb machine, and it was paralyzed at that time!

The power of 140 kilograms of explosives must have enough space to vent.But the double-layer armor belt is too restrictive, so in addition to venting through the injection holes, more people find the way out from the top or below, rumbling and crushing the weak partition, sweeping next to each other The cabin, as well as the up and down flow along the base of the gun base, grilled and steamed the big living people inside, and swept it away!

On the bridge, Gao Liuyi watched with three eyes as thick smoke rose suddenly from the A turret.Thinking that it was hit directly and caused an implosion, it was so frightened that its soul almost flew away!

There is an ammunition depot underneath. Once it is detonated, no matter how strong the battleship is, it will definitely be smashed to pieces. In that case, I will be sadly reminded of the [-] members of the entire battleship.It's just as sad!

As for the fact that another shell smoothly penetrated the weakly armored stern from behind, and shattered one of the aircraft catapults without reinforced armor.Don't think about it at all, anyway, the propeller is not damaged, a little fur, it doesn't matter!

He shouted loudly to order people to die and find a way to put out the fire to prevent the explosion, and then he noticed again.The water column blown up nearby is more than twice as big as before, and the near-missing bombs close to the battleship will actually form a powerful squeeze that hits the hull. It seems to have the shock feeling of a giant bombarding the hull with a sledgehammer. It's like attacking with a torpedo... a torpedo? !

Not so unlucky!

Gao Liuyi murmured in her heart.But he couldn't be too embarrassed. After thinking about it with trepidation, he realized that it was impossible---the torpedo effect would not appear in time for the bombardment of such an intense cannon.Besides, it's not that the United Fleet doesn't know how powerful the opponent's torpedo is. If that happens, it's not only such a powerful force, it will definitely blast five tuberculosis and seven injuries all at once!

"Then there is a problem with the shells! They actually used grenades to attack battleships? Don't be joking... No! They won't be so contemptuous, let alone make similar mistakes, it must be...!"

Gao Liuyisan was drenched in sweat again, he remembered it! In January, during the night-time voyage training of the Yamato ship, it encountered a suspicious enemy ship inexplicably, and was blasted out a series of holes. Afterwards, the ship administration headquarters checked and proved that it was caused by a small-caliber naval gun. The power of the explosion was as powerful as It's as terrifying as a grenade. Could it be that this kind of strange thing has come again? !

His face suddenly turned pale!

That's a bad guess!If confirmed, the prospect of the coalition forces becomes very uncertain!The caliber of the previous shell was only about 150, but now it is at least 406mm!How many times that power is greater!

Of course, Mr. Da Zuo didn’t know that special high-explosive bomb charges also have metal-hydrogen mixed explosives, which are even more heaven-defying but expensive, but just this conjecture was too shocking, and he couldn’t care less about the danger. The battleship signals this amazing discovery!

Before he could notify, the coalition generals who had been paying close attention had already seen that something was wrong!

The battle at this time is like a group of broad-shouldered hooligans beating two strong knights in groups. It seems that one side has a large number of people and is aggressive, and they beat their heads and faces. In fact, there are not many tricks that really work, and the other side fights back. But it was punching to the flesh, and even more fiercely pressing one to death, it would be very hot to die, and the other would not stop!

The "Yamato" has become a proper meat shield, surrounded by successive explosions of water jets, but the surroundings of other battleships are as clean as a basin licked by a dog, except for the billowing smoke caused by its own firing. When the strong wind blows, it is the sea Yan Heqing!

So on the bridge, the generals had a very clear field of vision, and even saw the horrifying huge water column and explosion fireworks, and they immediately raised their brows with rich experience!Something is wrong!

Nagumo Chuichi's face changed even more simply, and he lost his voice: "No! The Chinese battleship has been replaced with a powerful special bomb! The Yamato ship is going to suffer!"

"What special bombs?!" The British and American generals, whose scalps were numb due to continuous variables, immediately stared at the Japanese with wide eyes, "Could it be a grenade attack? Otherwise, how could it be so powerful? But against a super battleship Hitting a grenade, this is a bit wrong!"

The flag signal of the "Yamato" came one after another, Nagumo said in a deep voice: "It is a strange type of ammunition that has both the destructive power of an armor-piercing shell and the explosive power of a grenade! It is specially used to deal with ultra-thick armor. Once Hit. Doubling the destructive power!"

General Kimmel almost lost his temper when he heard this. How much is your little Japan hiding from us without telling us in advance? !Why didn't you tell me such important information earlier? !

Lieutenant General Philips, the British guy, simply jumped up and shouted anxiously: "Why didn't you report it at the joint meeting! Do you know how much trouble this will cause!?"

Nanyun Zhongyi put on a dead face, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched: "We were not very sure before, it was just a chance five months ago. We have encountered similar attacks before, but there is no definite physical evidence, so there is no Inform. But it is not too late to know now!

"It's not too late, sir!" Lieutenant General Philips really wanted to spit on that black pancake face, filled with righteous indignation as if his trachea was about to burst.

This is simply a joke!A thing that has the power of two types of shells is definitely a terrifying existence that disrupts the balance of the battle!

Originally, the battleship was rough and thick, and it was far away, and the armor-piercing bullets were not powerful.If you can't penetrate the main armor belt on the side waterline, even if the horizontal armor can be blasted, it is difficult to cause a lot of damage if the explosive power is insufficient, so it can generally be carried to the end, and it is difficult to sink.

But the power of armor-piercing projectiles with grenades is different!Think about it, hundreds of kilograms of explosives exploded in the narrow inner compartment, crushing the weak structure at once, which was originally just a series of minor injuries to the eyes.It's going to hurt all of a sudden, this damn doesn't want to be killed!

More than that!

Lieutenant General Philips has extensive experience.Seeing the thick water column from the second explosion, he pointed out with certainty: "The power of this shell is not just that of ordinary grenades! I think it can be compared with airborne torpedoes! Gentlemen, a shell that can penetrate the deck and launch How do we deal with something as powerful as a torpedo?!"

……no way!Don't say that these generals, staff officers, and weapons officials are also numb!How could there be such a good thing in the world.It's a thing that breaks the rules properly, who invented it is so hated!

The British regretted cooperating with the gray grandchildren of Japan, your uncle's special teammate!If you don't notify important information in advance, you intend to harm people!

"It can't go on like this!" Lieutenant General Philips made a decisive decision and immediately ordered the carrier-based aircraft group to launch a violent air attack immediately.In any case, we can't let them go on like this smoothly!

As for the Yamato, since the Japanese did not report their own feelings, leading to a series of passivity, they should shoulder their own responsibilities!

As a result, the Yamato sadly became a target for the coalition forces to vent their anger on!

The second round of salvo became more and more accurate. A Type II high-explosive bomb also flew in with a low trajectory, hit the middle of the bridge, and after destroying two layers of armor protection in succession, the ferocious explosion blew up the steel structure around the chimney. It flew a large piece with a diameter of seven or eight meters, and even hit inward, squeezing the thick oval pipe of the chimney into a palm-wide crack, billowing thick smoke continuously spewing out from inside, and the warning of power loss sounded immediately!

This shot killed a total of fifty or sixty soldiers!

The bridge of the day battle ship was covered in thick smoke, and it was almost impossible to see the situation clearly. Gao Liuyisan thought that the boiler had been removed, so he ordered the battleship to maneuver again with a semaphore, and asked the flagship to evade with a semaphore.

The result was ruthlessly rejected!Don't bother the two masters with one thing, since the other party has already targeted you, then take it out and use it to take on important responsibilities, don't worry, the coalition forces will definitely remember your contribution!Please be sure to persist until the enemy ship is defeated, it is not far away, our hit rate is rising!

A series of encouragements without spending a share of the capital, Gao Liuyi, who is completely ignorant of internal strife, yells at a group of bastards and beasts without conscience, and continues knowing that she can't stand it. Isn't this sincere tormenting people!

Persevere until the enemy ship is sunk?Why can't I see that sign?

In battle, don't be distracted!Otherwise it must be wrong!

Gao Liuyisan's ability to be the captain of an empire flagship with 300 and [-] people is worthy of recognition, but there are too many accidents, and even if it is damaged repeatedly, even an individual may not be calm-headed!

Now that he had the consciousness of being abandoned, he simply calmed down, and during the pause in the bombardment, he shouted to the whole ship: "All warriors of the empire! Now we are facing a very critical situation! Unpredictable and precise bombardment methods have led to temporary passivity! But, it doesn't matter, our counterattack is rapidly improving, our coalition fleet has formed an advantageous encirclement, and the time to defeat them is coming soon. But in Before that, we must take on the important task of attracting the enemy's firepower! Temporary battle damage is inevitable, I believe that you are all useless imperial warriors like me, and have enough awareness to take on this important task! Please join me , keep fighting, please!"

After speaking, he bowed deeply at ninety degrees to the servants in the command room --- this movement is not easy, the belly is too fat, it is too squeezed to breathe!

This remark moved the entire ship to tears, and each department shouted: "Please rest assured, Commander! We will continue to fight, and we will not let the Chinese army lose!"

Not only that, an emergency death squad composed of more than 20 people rushed out bravely with the help of Bai Bu, tied the body with a cable, stared at the roaring torrent, overwhelming water waves and flying fragments rushed to the damaged turret Go up and do maintenance and rescue!

This kind of spirit is worthy of encouragement, but in the bombardment of giant cannons, it is all scum!

The fierce bombardment continued, and two shells hit the Yamato again in no particular order. One of them accurately penetrated the deck next to the base of the A turret, smoothly penetrated two layers of armor, and ruthlessly hit the root of the arc-shaped turret armor , The force of the explosion nearly uprooted the thousands-ton turret. The death squad that had just rushed up evaporated on the spot, and the turret completely collapsed! (to be continued..)
