The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

"Oh! God!"

The officers on the battleship Alabama let out a series of exclamations, but their voices were completely drowned out by the fierce explosion. There were only panicked faces illuminated by the fire that soared into the sky. , It is full of despair!

No one would have thought that the latest powerful battleship, which has just joined the ranks of naval battles, will end up in such a fate when it officially participates in the battle for the first time!In less than 10 minutes, four heavy bombs were bombed. This luck is so good!

Heideng is blind, and the opponent's artillery fire is so accurate, so if it is daytime, what kind of terrible situation will it be?Could it be that it would be impossible to hit more than a dozen cannons at a time? !so funny!

At the same time, they felt uneasy for a while. Why is the other party just staring at their own family and chasing and beating them fiercely?The USS Indiana not far away has been safe and sound, firing guns continuously, and seems to be ignored at all. The difference in treatment is too great! [

Similar emotions just flashed across everyone's minds for a short time, and then they were overwhelmed by the tense situation in front of them!Seeing that there was nothing to be done, the captain made a decisive decision and ordered to evade immediately. If the fight continues like this, more than two thousand people will have to feed the fish!

The Indiana discovered the trouble here, and took the initiative to move closer, trying to help cover it in front, and by the way, strengthen contact with each other, so that the salvo can be shot more accurately. -"

But this process is really too slow!On the sea, a huge battleship would appear extremely clumsy if it wanted to turn around, and the distance calculated in kilometers would take time to get closer, but what they lack most is precious time!

in comparison.On the Kunlun Mountain, where the shelling hit the target, it seemed extremely relaxed. The deputy captain Zhang Tianhong praised with a smile: "It's a beautiful fight! Just do it like this! I think if there are seven or eight shots, the American devils will have to hand in their guns and surrender!"

The corners of Sa Shijun's mouth curled up slightly, he was reserved and didn't express much, but judging by his confident expression, he clearly believed in the result.He personally commanded the giant ship.The second attack to meet the enemy, and the subordinates are the best sailors and officers in the entire Chinese navy. It would be too embarrassing to my old man if he couldn't deal with the little guy on the other side!I'm even more sorry for Mr. Zhu's respect.

Well, proper praise is still necessary. After he pondered for a while, he picked up the phone and said to the whole ship: "Everyone has performed well. The enemy ship has completely entered our attack trap. We should seize the opportunity. With one bang, we will completely destroy it." !"

"understand!"

Responses came from all the turrets and centers, and the young officers and enthusiastic boys screamed and screamed, almost displaying the greatest enthusiasm and efficiency since their service, and maximizing the firing efficiency of the three main turrets!

The Kunlun Mountain-class battleship basically does not need to consider the issue of being hit, whether it is in the air, at sea or underwater.At least so far, there is no weapon in the world that can pose a threat to her.So their only job is to shoot the cannon as accurately as possible, and completely sink the enemy ship in the shortest time!

"Boom~~hum!"

There was a salvo, slow and firm, every time he exhaled passionately.It was like a volcanic eruption. The huge hull firmly resisted the recoil force of more than [-] tons. The unprecedented excellent artillery ensured the stability of the flight trajectory of the gun and the joy of the final hit!

Still the USS Alabama.This unlucky warship was chosen as the first salvo target because it was the closest and the most aggressive. As the distance between them gradually narrowed, she was at a disadvantage in terms of speed and maneuverability. Finally, the shifting speed and turning started, and I hit it again!

The gun was still fired at a steep angle, almost straight from the side stern, close to the waterline, pierced the main armor belt, penetrated steadily and exploded, destroying the main shaft of the left propeller. The force of the eruption and tearing made a big hole in the stern, one side of the rudder was deformed, and the forward speed and control ability of the entire battleship dropped by an order of magnitude!

This is simply worse!The damage controllers on the battleship were so shocked that their hairs stood on end. They knew very well what a terrible result such damage would mean—a battleship that lost power and steering ability, no matter how thick the armor and how big the main gun was, , will definitely become a living target, the iron coffin!Even if the opponent comes with a small destroyer, they can easily torture them to death with torpedoes!

Repair!It must be repaired in the shortest possible time!

However, their ideas are obviously futile and extravagant!Such a serious injury, even if it is dragged back to the shipyard to go to the berth, it will not be able to recover in ten days and half a month, let alone in such a big battle!

The fifth round, the sixth round... The continuous artillery bombardment came in an orderly manner with the two Kunlun-class battleships always occupying the position. Until the No.15 round, the Alabama hit a total of eleven Hair piercing!Two of the three turrets were abolished, the boiler room was hit by a bomb, causing an explosion and a fire, the main mast and the middle and lower parts of the bridge were blown down, the radar was completely finished, and the raging fire was on the power cabin and deck respectively. Spreading everywhere, hundreds of sailors started jumping into the water!

The battleship is already in a semi-paralyzed state!

Immediately afterwards, the target was replaced by another Indiana! [

At this time, this battleship of the same model managed to move in place with great difficulty, and barely blocked half of its companion with its own body, lying about three kilometers to the left, less than 18 kilometers away from the opponent. In theory, this is Great distance for firing strikes.

In fact, the USS Indiana is indeed trying to do that. After more than a dozen rounds of salvos, facing the Kunlun-class battleships that did not do any evasion at all, the Americans basically found the best shooting elements. The cannon seemed to hit the opponent by mistake, and the explosive fireworks illuminated the huge body of more than 6 tons, but the damage it caused... No matter how you look at it, it seems useless!

"This is unscientific! In the world, no matter how powerful a warship is, it is impossible to be moved in the face of 406mm armor-piercing! This must be an illusion!"

Whether it is the captain, the gunner, or the gunners of each gun position, they all exclaimed incomprehensibly!They all know how powerful their guns are.Within 20 kilometers, it can definitely hit more than 400mm penetration!If the opponent's waterline main armor may exceed such data, what about the horizontal armor?What about the turret canopy?What about secondary gun protection?What about the exposed radar and mast?Chimney all right.Did not see.

But in any case, it is impossible to hit multiple cannons, and there is no impact at all!

No matter how calm a person is in the face of weird situations that are not understood by the law, they will have doubts about themselves, and then their confidence will be shaken.Even if you grit your teeth firmly and continue to work.You must also think about what is going on!

Under the turmoil of the mood, people with a little weak will begin to perform abnormally!

First, the radar soldiers, who have been repeatedly proven to be extremely sloppy, reported more and more accurate coordinate data time and time again, but after the bombardment by naval guns, it was proved that they were completely unreliable, and they collapsed first!

Then there was the lookout post, holding a high-power telescope in his hand, and with the help of the explosion flash, his eyes widened to search for the real figure of the other party and make an assessment.Obviously, I saw more than once that the guns fired by my side exploded on the opponent's hull, and even hit the turret, but the opponent's subsequent blows seemed to be unaffected at all!

They are also a little less confident!In the end, even the captain, gunner and others were suspicious for a while.Have they been firing at a phantom?If not, how to explain the sudden failure of 1 ton heavy armor piercing? !

Chaotic emotions spread within the ship.But at this moment, the other party finally turned the cannon and aimed at them, killing them!

The whistling salvo of guns fell from the sky densely, and the volleys of eighteen rounds were scattered no more than 500 meters far and near!The left and right spread is about 200 meters.It does not exceed the length of a battleship at all, which means that as long as the angle of height is accurate, it can definitely hit or cause a near miss!

The Indiana had no chance of dodging.Accurately hit the bow of the ship by a cannon, it wiped the front face of the rotating turret from the front deck and blasted in, almost passing through the starboard side. Here comes a big bag!

The explosion so close made the soldiers in the turret deaf and the vibration was too strong. The direction and pitch angle of the gun positions that had been adjusted were immediately messed up, and they temporarily lost their strike ability.

This is just the beginning of the disaster!Less than a minute later, the second round of gunfire followed!This time, a round of armor-piercing penetrated into the root of the bridge from above the midship, blasted away the external sandbags, composite armor, and main steel plates, and then penetrated into the cabin. The building, the huge hole blasted upwards and the torch tens of meters high, is spectacular!

Such damage is far from enough for a battleship with a standard displacement of more than 35000 tons to surrender. They can continue to fight, but Major General Spruance, the commander of the task force, felt something was wrong and ordered the entire fleet: "Chinese The purpose is not to attack Midway Island! Their real intention is to take advantage of the night and try to kill us completely! All ships, disperse and retreat immediately, and don't get entangled with them!"

He saw very accurately, but it was too late!In the sudden battle of less than half an hour, most of the destroyers following the battleship were all killed by subsonic anti-ship missiles!A battleship has become a living target, and even the USS Indiana is at stake!

The accompanying light cruiser was also impatient at this time, rushing forward desperately, releasing swarms of torpedoes to bombard the opposite side. At the same time, the two heavy cruisers saw that the situation was not good, and decisively pulled away to flee, but at this moment, Seven or eight of the opponent's eccentric destroyers sprang out of nowhere in the night, and another group of anti-ship missiles rushed towards them like a rain of arrows!

The encirclement is complete!

This maneuvering speed is really amazing!And these destroyers with only one twin 127mm turret are even more courageous!With the thickness of their armor defense, they couldn't resist the opponent's heavy cruiser's 203mm main gun, but they just rushed up!

But they didn't do it rashly.The eyes of the entire battlefield were drawn by the battleship bombardment. No one expected that this group of dexterous little guys would take risks and act as real killers, besieging powerful opponents several times their own!

Of course, they have enough confidence, the stealth hull makes it difficult for the poor original radar of the American warship to be found at close range; the unique anti-ship missile directly cancels the power of the opponent's main gun, and has a law-abiding effect. Acceptable high starter hit rate, as long as the launch volume is doubled.It's hard not to think of a good one! [

The anti-ship guided missiles launched in pairs first attacked the two heavy cruisers!Accurately find out from the few remaining US ships, and one ship is given four leads, connected front and back, and the tail hits!

An anti-ship missile that can seriously injure a battleship.Dealing with a heavy cruiser with weak armor is like cutting melons and vegetables!The USS Pensacola heavy cruiser was the first to bear the brunt, and was hit by three missiles on the stern, the bridge, and the root of the chimney. The armor-piercing warhead in series easily tore apart the steel plate, and sent a cylindrical 75 kg explosive into it. The continuous explosion sprayed, The hull was almost punched out with transparent holes in the front and rear. Thousands of tons of steel, mixed with molten juice, swept across half of the hull, and a large hole was torn open in the stern.The whirring flames!

This heavy cruiser was immediately half disabled!The turret at the rear is completely finished, and the power drops sharply. It is more difficult to fight back!

On the other side, the light cruiser Atlanta also had the same fate!Compared with the former, she was much more miserable, being targeted by six anti-ship missiles launched by two destroyers.In the middle of the four, the keel was broken on the spot.The medicine storehouse was detonated, the power cabin was shattered, and the earth-shattering explosion that killed the detonation was blown into three parts on the spot, causing many casualties!

The other heavy cruiser was not much better. The insidious guy flying close to the sea opened three holes along the waterline in one breath, and the metal jet sprayed in and burned it.The warhead exploded and caused damage. It was half paralyzed on the spot, water was poured on the side, and the hull was seriously tilted, unable to move!

If you don't sing, you are done.Blockbuster!If you don't make a move, just do it, once you move, it's like thunder!

This is the real ocean-going fleet, and this is the powerful force in Zhu Bin's hands to dominate the world and run across the seven seas!

The Americans couldn't figure out what kind of terrible guy they were dealing with, and they were caught just by a little decision-making error, and this should have been at least a dozen hours, but it was shortened to less than an hour. In the fierce firefight, the winner will be decided directly!

That's not a normal victory or defeat, the winner wins all, and the loser is completely defeated!

Spruance was blasted continuously from here, and the corners of his eyes were about to explode in anger!His reminder was fast enough, but the speed of the opponent's attack was faster and more ruthless than he imagined!No chance at all!

Just 15 minutes later, the USS Indiana also followed in the footsteps of the USS Alabama. It was hit by more than a dozen cannons in a row, and it was covered in smoke and fire.

Here, the two Kunlun-class battleships are obviously not interested in continuing to smash with inefficient cannons. Seeing that the opponent has no escape ability, they decisively leave the two destroyers behind, lead the brigade around, and continue to chase forward. That direction is clearly the three aircraft carriers of Task Force 16!

Spruance was reminded in time, and hurriedly ordered all to retreat, leading a few pitiful destroyers and submarines, retreating sharply towards Midway Island. The key is to buy time!

Now he also understands the other party's sinister intentions, and he did not forget to remind the 17th Task Force, but the message was sent out, and there was no response for a long time, so he understood it. I am afraid that the guys over there also suffered To the same fate, even worse than his side!

He guessed right!The truth is, that's it!

Compared with this side, the "Xin Qiji" aircraft carrier formation that is clearly advancing forward is much more arrogant!Not only because their opponents suffered heavy blows during the day, and lost an entire cruiser unit, their strength was greatly reduced, but also because almost all of them were old aircraft carriers and battleships, and their overall speed and combat effectiveness were lower than Task Force 16 is a notch weaker, as long as it forms a confrontation, there is no need to worry about any changes at all!

Similarly, the opponent is also farther away from Midway Island, and has received less support. Even if they want to escape, the distance is still farther!

The two battleships "Yinshan" and "Taihangshan" here are the second batch of service. In the northern part of the Yellow Sea, they used naval guns to deal heavy blows to the Japanese army. Naval battles may lack experience, but the combat effectiveness is not bad at all!

The young sailors who have just experienced running-in have no place to consume their momentum. How can they not be ecstatic with the piles of enemies jumping out in front of them!

Fortunately, the commander of the 17th Task Force obviously needs to be more clear-headed. Knowing that his subordinates are old, weak, sick and disabled, he resolutely does not have a direct confrontation with them. All the old battleships retreated first, leaving behind two light cruisers, four destroyers, and three submarines. They took advantage of their speed to maneuver around to ensure that the aircraft carrier was always at a safe distance further back.

The idea was good, but they never expected that the opponent's attack was so ruthless and decisive that it was far beyond imagination!

Unlike the "Yue Fei" formation advancing quietly, the "Xin Qiji" stayed firmly in the rear, but the guided cruiser "Zuzhou" quietly rushed out from the right wing at full speed, and suddenly released it at a distance of about 20 kilometers from the opposing formation. More than [-] anti-ship missiles were sent out, and the four old battleships were opened up one by one in one breath, and the two light cruisers and three destroyers were also taken care of by the way, all of which were seriously injured!

At the same time, the two super battleships lost no time in long-distance locking, using sub-caliber guided guns, fired several rounds of salvos, and opened big holes one by one in this group of battleships that escaped from the Ryukyu Island defense battle last time!

The battle began to heat up from fifty kilometers away!While firing, they accelerated their approach, and when they narrowed the distance between each other to about [-] kilometers, the USS Arizona, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Idaho were all paralyzed, followed by a close-range sweep The ship's guns were forced to fire, all of them died of serious injuries, exploded and caught fire, and quickly sank!
