Chapter 146 The Bloody Battle in the Sea (2)
Two bombs hit the "Nanxiang" guardrail steel plate and the stern respectively, although they did not cause much damage.But this signal is very obvious that "Nanxiang" has been targeted by the two cruisers, and it is impossible to escape.Only bite the bullet and attack, hoping that my defense can last until the arrival of the rescue warship.

"Right full rudder, use the main gun to attack, and sandbags to cover the sides of the sidestring secondary gun. Zhang Biao, go and connect the fire extinguishing hose and put it on the deck. Be ready to put out the fire at any time. Give me the door of the ammunition depot. The lock is tight, close the door for me after moving the ammunition, don't make me trouble, one shell will destroy it all." Zhou Zhan responded quickly.

"boom"

Under Zhou Zhan's command, the "Nanxiang" also started to fight back.A shell fell into the middle of the two ships "Akitsusu" and "Naniwa" and set off a jet of water.

In front of the high-speed cruiser, the shooting that was not very accurate is now even more unbearable.

"Damn, what the hell is the gunner doing? Which warship is he hitting? It's too shameful to land in the middle of the two ships. Aim for me and hit hard." Zhou Zhan was anxious in the observation room. I started to scold my mother.

"Yes." A communications soldier turned and left.

At this time, the other warships of both sides were also intertwined. In an instant, hundreds of guns from each ship on both sides were fired in full bloom, the smoke filled the air, and the sea water boiled.

"Nanxiang" shook violently again, and it was obvious that it had been shot again.Zhou Zhan, who was in the observation room, didn't pay attention to the shaking at first, and was still observing the movements of the two cruisers "Akitsusu" and "Namiwa" through the telescope.

"Damn, why did the artillery fire stop? Tell him to aim at the point and fire again, not to let them stop shooting if they can't aim!" Zhou Zhan suddenly found out why his warship hadn't fired shells for a long time.

"It's not good, Zhou Guandai, the bow of the warship was shot, and a shell pierced through the top deck of the first floor, destroying the ammunition delivery device used to lift the ammunition from the main ammunition depot in the first floor, and stand by nearby to fight the fire at any time Four soldiers of the damage control died on the spot." The communications soldier with a face full of black smoke rushed in and told Zhou Zhan the bad news.

Because at the beginning, Zhou Zhan suffered a devastating blow in order to avoid showing his side strings in front of his opponents.So it has been facing the enemy ship head-on, and now the only main gun bomb delivery device on the bow has been destroyed.This really becomes a "dumb" ship that cannot be attacked.

"Ask someone to move it? Damn this is going to be reported? Is everyone dead? If there is no bomb carrier, don't you need to fire?" Zhou Zhanming knows that there is not enough manpower now, but other than doing this, he really wants to become a dumb ship up.

"Yes."

The "Nanxiang" was unable to find the rhythm of the battle for quite a long time after the main gun ammunition delivery device was destroyed.The staffing on the warship was disrupted first. In order to keep the main gun firing, a large number of people kept transporting ammunition from the first floor to the second floor.Then everyone had to hide far away when firing. The recoil of the 190mm main gun is quite amazing. Those soldiers standing near the original bomb delivery device may be accidentally injured.So they had to dodge every time a shot was fired.

In this way, "Nanxiang" fired one cannon after another, and the terrible hit rate made this cruiser with no characteristics except defense always play a dispensable role in this naval battle.

However, although there are no bright spots in the attack, they are still entangled with the two most powerful cruisers "Akitsusu" and "Naniwa".At a distance of 5000 meters, the two cruisers of Japan have already hit no less than 20 shells.But "Nanxiang" has no problems at all, except for the slower speed than before, other places are the same as before it was not shot.

"What a jellyfish, the German warship's escort capability is really extraordinary." Captain Akitsuzu Riichiro Komitsu said to himself.

"General, it's better to get closer and use the main gun to deal with him directly." A staff officer suggested.

Liichiro Xiaoman thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Don't look at the horror of the low hit rate of the warship opposite, but if it is hit by his 190mm main gun at close range, it will be over."

"Yes, General. But the gunboats in the rear need our reinforcements, look," the staff officer said worriedly.

"Let Naniwa and Takachiho go for reinforcements, and this German Class A cruiser will be handed over to me." Koman Riichiro seemed full of interest in sinking a German cruiser.

"Roms."

The flames of war have been burning continuously in the sea for an hour, and the fierce battle between the two sides seems to make the whole sea boil.Daqing No. [-], Daqing No. [-], Yamato and Musashi are equal opponents, and they are inseparable.However, Changsheng and Unbeaten are quite difficult in front of Kyushu and Katsuragi. Fortunately, with the cover of three torpedo ships and several gunboats, Changsheng and Unbeaten not only do not lose the wind, but also firmly occupy the offensive initiative. right.

Although temporarily taking the lead, it is not easy to sink a [-]-ton ship.Unless Changsheng, Bubai use the main gun to directly penetrate the opponent's deck at close range, but they will not give you a chance to get close, or even if you are allowed to get close, the caliber of the sidestring secondary gun of the [-]-ton ship must be The caliber of the main gun of Changsheng is much larger, and it is not certain who will be sunk.

"Zhou Guandai, a warship has left." An adjutant ran in excitedly.

Zhou Zhan was still holding the binoculars to observe the changes in the entire battle situation, without any smile on his face, and said coldly: "I see, this is not a good thing." Zhou Zhan put down the binoculars, turned around and continued: " The devils are going to make trouble for Chengfeng and them, we can't let them succeed."

The burnt adjutant with a blackened face and ragged clothes could no longer see his original appearance in the naval uniform embroidered with golden dragons. After hearing Zhou Zhan's words, he couldn't help but wonder: "But the enemy ship has already started speeding up. I'm afraid it's too late to catch up, and my ship has already "

"Fucking brains? Who told you to chase after him? Didn't the school teach you the law of straight lines on the sea surface? Go, give me an order to cross over and block it with the hull, and I must hold that speed boat for me." Waves." Zhou Zhan cursed angrily.

"Guan Dai, that straight line is within the firing range of Qiujinzhou's main guns. What's more, my ship is already submerged in water, and the full speed is only 14 knots." The adjutant said embarrassedly.

"Afraid of death?" Zhou Zhan ignored the adjutant's words and continued to look through the binoculars.

The adjutant who was asked blushed, straightened his neck and said, "No, no."

Zhou Zhan put down the binoculars, walked to the adjutant and taught: "Who is not raised by his father and parents, knowing that there is no calf cramps in the death, this is common. But there is no reason to do it. Now is the time to be a devil." , let’s let the devils pass, and we are safe. But they are in danger by riding the wind and breaking the waves. General Yan’s 4000-ton Changsheng just resists the devil’s 10000-ton battleship. The wind, the waves, they deal with the devil's gunboat and torpedo ship to buy time. If we let the devil's cruiser pass, once the initiative on the battlefield is lost, in the future, even if we can go back alive, do we have the face to sacrifice to those brothers who died in battle? Pat Conscience, I can sleep peacefully for the rest of my life"

The adjutant didn't wait for Zhou Zhan to finish, and said anxiously: "My lord, don't tell me, I'll pass the order right away. See you at the Heroes' Hall in the future."

Zhou Zhan nodded silently.
