Invincible Base of Anti-japanese War

Yang Wei's heart was very calm at this time, but he didn't relax at all. After all, the general will inevitably die before the battle. It would not be fun if he lost his life in this place because of a momentary carelessness.

But at this time, although John Bull's aircraft still have the advantage in numbers in the sky, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the defeat of John Bull's air force is only a matter of time!

At this time, the commander of the John Bull air formation was very anxious. He had already prepared for the failure of the air battle, but he did not expect that the blow would be so severe. John Bull lost all of it in just five minutes of the firefight. More than a dozen fighter jets, if this continues, even if reinforcements arrive later, the result may not be very good.

But at this time, he didn't give him extra time to think about these messy things, because at 9:40, the battleship Qin Guo completed straddling the battleship John Bull's Revenge, that is to say, the Qin Guo The only difference between hitting the Revenge is that little bit of time and luck.

Seeing such a situation on the sea, John Bull's air force commander was on fire, and he really couldn't sit still at this time, but the first formation of John Bull's air force was all fighter jets, and they didn't face the sea at all. With the ability to attack, he can only stare blankly here.

And Abraham, who was staying in the Royal Oak, felt a little numb after seeing this situation. He knew that his chances of winning this naval battle were very slim.

Because since the two sides exchanged fire with each other, the distance between the capital ships has been kept between 18 and 20 kilometers. At this distance, the artillery power of both the Vengeance class and the Elizabeth class is somewhat insufficient. - Needless to say, the power of the gun, coupled with the gap between some other data, and the PLA Navy's good combat awareness, this made Abraham understand that it is not a good thing to win this battle simple things.

At this time, as for the South China Sea Fleet, Hong Shichang, who stayed in the command cabin, did not dare to carelessly observe the fleet's movements.

At this time, as for the South China Sea Fleet, Hong Shichang, who stayed in the command cabin, did not dare to carelessly observe the fleet's movements.

"This John Bull is worthy of being the overlord of the sea for nearly 200 years, and these 200 years have not been in vain. If nothing else, their artillery skills are really amazing〃〃!" Hong Shichang looked at One shot landed on a shell less than 200 meters away from the Qin Guo, and he said with some emotion.

At this time, Qin Guo seemed to be hit by something suddenly, the whole ship shook violently to both sides, and even the command cabin also produced obvious vibrations.

"What's going on? Did you get shot somewhere? How about the casualties? Hurry up and investigate?" Hong Shichang asked immediately after shaking his head and regaining consciousness.

"Reporting to the captain, the No. 356 turret of Qin Guo was shot. A [-]mm shell fired from the Revenge hit the frontal armor of No. [-] turret. The armor was not penetrated. There are no deaths and injuries. The number of people is being counted." The No. [-] turret is not damaged, and the personnel can fire immediately after recovery." Two minutes later, a communication staff officer at the side immediately reported the news received from the No. [-] turret.

After hearing this, Hong Shichang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "¨' Immediately treat the wounded, restore the use of the No. [-] turret as soon as possible, and then attack the Revenge with all your strength."

"Yes, Commander." The communications staff immediately went down to carry out the order.

In the distance, the observation group of the bald eagle who happened to see this scene seemed a little surprised.

"The luck of this group of John Bulls is not so good. They can be hit like this. I have to say that the luck of the Chinese people is really not very good!" A young officer said with a little emotion.

"Young man's conclusion, don't make it so fast. Let's take a closer look, some things are not that simple." Another older officer shook his head and said thoughtfully.

"There shouldn't be any problem, right? The cannonball just hit it directly. No matter what, it will have some impact. (Qian Nuohao) Didn't one of their turrets misfire? Damn, why? Yes?" While the young officer was explaining his thoughts, Qin Guo fired another round of salvo.

The young bald eagle officer was very surprised, and Abraham, who was staying in his command cabin, felt heavy in his heart. When the turret misfired, he was also very excited, but the salvo fired by the Qin Guo soon afterward made Abraham's heart cold.

At this moment, the battleship Chu State on the other side also straddled the battleship Elizabeth, which made Abraham's heart cold.

Finally, as time passed, one of the 21st salvos fired by the Qin Guo hit the John Bull's Revenge, and the situation on the battlefield also tilted up.

Chapter 248: When the decisive battle is in progress (2)

The naval battle was still going on. At 9:52 a.m., in the 21st salvo fired by the Qin Guo, a shell finally hit the Revenge, and the armor-piercing projectile weighing more than one ton penetrated the Revenge Armor, a violent explosion occurred inside the hull.

But John Bull's luck was not bad. This shell hit the waterline and didn't hit any important places. It just blew up two anti-aircraft guns and killed some sailors around!

However, after the first shell hit the target, the accuracy of the PLA's shelling became higher and higher. The scattering points of Qin Guo's shells in each round of salvo after that were basically around the Revenge.

However, the Qin State was still unlucky, and none of the shells hit the target in the next few salvos. However, at this time, the Chu State on the other side had a new harvest. At 10:12 in the morning, the Chu State He fired his 31st salvo in this battle, and two shells weighing more than a ton hit the Elizabeth's main armor belt almost simultaneously.

The main armor of the Elizabeth was like paper. The armor-piercing projectile weighing more than one ton was torn apart and the powerful armor-piercing projectile exploded violently after penetrating the armor. A series of 553 problems began to appear.

On the other side, the heavy cruiser Jin Guo, which was exchanging fire with the Malaya at this time, also gained some gains. Three 305mm shells hit the superstructure of the Malaya at the same time. This time John Bull was lucky because The reason for the lack of power of Jin Guo's shells was that the weak armor of Malaya was not directly penetrated, but after the shell exploded, a raging flame ignited, and Malaya was also burned for a while.

The battle lasted for less than an hour. John Bull's four battleships were all wounded except for the Royal Oak, while the two Sengoku-class battleships of the South Sea Fleet were basically injured except for some superficial scars. No actual harm was done.

The flames were still raging on the Malaya, and the damage control personnel around them tried their best, but they were only able to control the fire and prevent the fire from spreading. Due to the huge flames, the Malaya was able to fight in a short time Lowered by more than one chip.

The battle continued. At 20:[-] in the morning, Qin Guo hit the Revenge with two more shells. One shell hit the front of the No. [-] turret of the battleship Revenge, and the other shell hit the waterline tank. (bfce) The position below the armor.

Facing these two powerful shells, the last armor on the Revenge, which was less than 330 mm, was powerless to stop them. After a burst of violent explosions, almost the entire No. [-] turret of the Revenge was blown to pieces. The huge hole on the armor and the two gun barrels that have been blown into twists.

However, for the Vengeance, the most troublesome problem is not just the complete scrapping of the No. [-] turret, but another shell that hit under the waterline armor. Although the sea water absorbed a lot of the power of the explosion, this one The shell still tore a five-meter-long opening below the waterline of the Revenge, and the icy sea water quickly poured into the Revenge through this opening.

It took five minutes for the damage control personnel on the Vengeance to stop the water from continuing to flow into the Vengeance.

However, in this short period of five minutes, hundreds of thousands of tons of seawater still poured into the Revenge, causing the Revenge to begin to tilt to the left.

Chapter 248: When the decisive battle is in progress (2) -->> (page 1/2),

However, in this short period of five minutes, hundreds of thousands of tons of seawater still poured into the Revenge, causing the Revenge to begin to tilt to the left.

But even in such a tragic situation, the Revenge was still fighting, and the remaining three turrets still fired round after round of shells at the fastest speed.

However, at this time, the pressure on the John Bull Navy has been partially reduced. Compared with the naval aviation on the two aircraft carriers, the John Bull Air Force has an advantage, and this advantage is still very large, so even if it is The aviation of the People's Liberation Army is desperately blocking, and some John Bull planes will still break through the defense line and launch some attacks on the battleships on the sea.

However, compared to John Bull's capital ships with very poor air defense capabilities, the PLA Navy, whether it is a Warring States-class battleship or a Spring and Autumn-class heavy cruiser, has quite powerful air defense firepower. Although the current fleet is not in an air defense formation, John Bull's air force wants to It is still very difficult to break through the dense air defense firepower network.

Moreover, John Bull's bomber technology is quite difficult to hit a battleship at medium and high altitudes. After all, in the era without guidance technology, the accuracy of other types of bombers except dive bombers is basically difficult to obtain. To come out and meet people.

However, the John Bull Air Force did not do it in vain. Some technologies obtained from the aircraft purchased from Huaxia also improved John Bull's aircraft manufacturing technology to a certain extent, so this time it is responsible for attacking the PLA battleships. Some of the latest torpedo attack aircraft.

And these torpedo planes caused the People's Liberation Army to suffer a small loss at the youngest time. The heavy cruiser Song Guo accidentally hit two torpedoes, that is, John Bull's torpedo charge was insufficient, so the Song Guo was also hit by two torpedoes. He didn't suffer any fatal injuries, but had to withdraw from the battle temporarily due to the water ingress.

However, for the sake of the battle, some pilots of the John Bull Air Force also went crazy. Some bomber pilots began to lower their altitude actively, which also forced the battleship to devote part of its energy to dealing with these planes.

The desperate efforts of these pilots created some opportunities for John Bull's navy to breathe. After all, in the eyes of John Bull's navy in the previous battles, the fight was really aggrieved!

But planes need fuel after all. The first batch of John Bull planes in the sky have gradually begun to reverse flight, and the rest will not last too long, and the Sea Panda fighter jets of the People's Liberation Army he owns The air time allows it to stay in the sky longer.

As the John Bull Air Force began to return, the People's Liberation Army Navy once again focused on John Bull's capital ship.
