Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Fierce artillery battle

"Boom boom boom..." A series of violent explosions sounded around the three ships, and the entire bombardment area, which was still a calm sea just now, immediately became choppy.

A large amount of seawater was directly rolled onto the deck of the warship amidst the sound of shell explosions.More importantly, every few seconds, there are always one or two shells that land on the thick decks of the three ships with great precision, setting off billowing smoke and airtight shell fragments.

Amidst the dense explosions, the three warships that were still as stable as Mount Tai just now began to shake violently.

"Boom...>

The stern of the ship, which is less than 50 meters away from the commanding platform, has been shrouded in a burst of thick gunpowder smoke.Although it wasn't particularly clear, the wreckage of a large number of soldiers and the ruins of a secondary artillery that was completely blown up by shells were still looming in front of Zhongzuo Yin Teng.

Less than five seconds after the explosion sounded, a combat staff officer with a face full of gunpowder rushed in out of breath, and reported in great horror: "Your Excellency, the No. 14 secondary gun was hit by an enemy shell and has been lost Combat power, loss of [-] gunners...>

As soon as the voice fell, the communications staff responsible for communicating with the other two destroyers rushed into the command platform, and also reported in horror: "Captain, the destroyer Qiufeng reported that the deck of the ship has been hit three times. Shells. A secondary gun was destroyed. More than [-]% of personnel were lost. In addition, water leaks have appeared in the cabin of the ship, but they have been blocked by damage management personnel... >

"The destroyer Yufeng reported that the deck was hit by two shells, a secondary gun was destroyed, and 25 people were lost. At the same time, the deck leading to the power cabin was seriously damaged and must be repaired immediately... >

"Baga, what are the intelligence agencies doing? When did the Chinese equip so many large-caliber coastal defense guns. Why don't we have any news, why...>

"Hay, Captain...>

"Boom boom boom... >

"Fire...>

Several violent explosions sounded from the coastal artillery positions, and the pre-emptive forts were immediately shrouded in thick gunpowder smoke from the shell explosion.The cannonade had just ended.The head of the regiment, Jiang Qiwei, rang out with a slightly anxious voice of order: "I don't know how much these forts can withstand. Immediately contact the four forts 6, 7, 8, and 9 to see if there is any damage to the fort. The artillery can still No to continue the fight...>

A reinforced concrete bunker with a thickness of far more than one meter is definitely not comparable to the tens of millimeters thick armor on a warship.The explosion of more than a dozen naval gun shells only made a few small holes in the fort, and did not affect the gunners in the fort.

"Tuan Zuo, the four turrets are intact and can continue to participate in the battle...>

"Very well, order all the turrets, according to Major Jim's order, continue to fire, and sink the little devil's warship for me...>

But at this very moment, the sky was bright.With the help of high-powered telescopes, the sea area where the three ships of the Japanese Navy are located has been clearly displayed in the eyes of the observation post of the regiment headquarters.

I saw three ships of the Japanese Navy, with billowing smoke, dodging left and right in the dense rain of shells, as if preparing to retreat to the rear.The anxious voice of the observation post quickly sounded in the command room: "Reporting to the group, the Japanese navy warship is retreating rapidly to the rear...>

As soon as the voice fell, Major Jim, who has rich combat experience, rushed to the lookout.While observing, he issued the latest order to the German instructor behind him: "Immediately measure the speed of the Japanese navy warship... Calculate the new shooting parameters, move forward 500 meters in the direction of the Japanese navy's retreat, and send two rapid " shoot, shoot...>

"Boom boom boom... >

Because of being hit by two shells, on the cruiser that has been completely covered by gunpowder smoke, Zhongzuo Yin Teng looked at the large amount of sea water that was continuously rolled onto the deck by the shells, and at the same time hoped that the shells that would continue to explode around him would not fall on the place where he was. above the deck of the ship.

As the speed of the three ships continued to increase, they finally left the intended bombardment area of ​​the Chinese coastal defense artillery.The captain, Nakasa Kondo, let out a long breath, and ordered like a heavy release: "Yoxi, God bless you, we have finally left this area of ​​death smoothly...>

"Romper...>

In the eyes of Lieutenant Zuo Yin Teng, even if the Chinese army is equipped with a certain number of coastal defense artillery.However, in such a short period of time, it is impossible to build a fort with high-strength protection.Without a fort, and still unable to move, these coastal defense guns will definitely become their best shelling targets.

but.What Lieutenant Yin Teng didn't expect was that.The Chinese army actually took advantage of the former German coastal defense artillery positions that the Japanese navy had spent a lot of ammunition and failed to attack.At the same time, what he didn't expect was that right in front of him, two rounds of shells from the coastal defense artillery regiment were waiting for his arrival.

"Wooooow...>

Because the shells came too suddenly, and the three ships were retreating quickly to the rear at a very high speed.Three ship decks with nowhere to hide.It directly suffered the baptism of five large-caliber naval gun shells.

Two violent shell explosions sounded again and again on the front and rear decks, and the ship that had just stabilized was shaken violently by the blast.Even Zhongzuo Yin Teng, who was standing on the podium, faced violent shaking.He was also thrown directly to the ground.

Relying on the protection of its thick deck, the two naval artillery shells did not affect the performance and firepower of the entire cruiser except for leaving two huge craters on the deck and the corpses of officers and soldiers everywhere.However, the destroyer Yufeng, which once again suffered two naval artillery shells, and one shell with a caliber of more than [-] mm, is not so lucky...>

A cannon shell with a caliber of more than [-] millimeters happened to land less than one meter away from the point where the shell hit a few minutes ago.No matter how thick the deck of this destroyer is, the same point has been baptized by two consecutive naval shells.It will also be directly blown out a large hole through the deck.

More importantly, this big hole, unfortunately, is just above the ship's engine compartment.The shells whizzed down, without any surprise, directly passed through the hole, and slammed into the engine compartment of the ship.

"Boom...>

A boiler with strong steam pressure was torn open, and the result can be imagined.

"Boom..." Another violent explosion sounded in the power cabin, a huge steam boiler.Immediately after the sound of the shell explosion, there was an explosion...

The boiler exploded.The entire ship will also lose its only power source.Immediately, the destroyer Yufeng, which was still avoiding shells just now, stopped slowly because of the loss of power.

Looking at the Yukaze destroyer that had stagnated, he saw a thick black smoke rising from the stern of the Yukaze destroyer.A bad premonition gradually surfaced in Zhongzuo Yin Teng's heart.After reacting from the shock, he roared loudly to the communications staff behind him.

"Baga, what are you still doing in a daze, contact the destroyer Yufeng immediately, why the destroyer is stagnant, and what is wrong with it, please contact me immediately...>

Lieutenant Commander Yin Teng frowned, holding up his binoculars, and kept watching every move of the Yufeng destroyer, waiting for it to start moving again.The anxious figure of the communication staff officer finally appeared in front of him.At the same time, a news that almost made me despair and vomit blood also reached my ears.

"Reporting to the captain, the report of the destroyer Yufeng: The power compartment of the ship was hit "devastatingly" by the shells of the Chinese naval guns. The entire ship has completely lost power and cannot move forward...>

"Nani, the power pod is destroyed...>

Since the other party voluntarily requested to stay to cover himself, Lieutenant Commander Yin Teng certainly did not have any opinion, and ordered directly and decisively: "Contact Major Fukuda immediately and tell him, I will definitely report the heroic fighting spirit of all the officers and soldiers of the Yufeng destroyer to the military headquarters , Ask the military department for commendation. I wish them good luck in the next battle. At the same time, tell Major Fukuda that at the critical moment, I allow him to surrender to the Chinese army. In terms of the current national strength of the Great Japanese Empire, our navy lacks They are not warships, but officers and soldiers with rich combat experience. Therefore, Major Fukuda must avoid it, and for the sake of the Great Japanese Empire, he must survive as much as possible... >

"Also. Notify Major Yokoyama. Immediately abandon the destroyer Yukaze, advance at full speed, and quickly leave the combat sea area."

Now that they can no longer go back, the Japanese officers and soldiers on the destroyer Yukaze who have experienced the spirit of bushido, under the condition that Major General Fukuda allowed the surrender telegram to be temporarily suspended.With the determination to die, he started to fight back at the risk of being sunk at any time.The remaining two main guns and two secondary guns are under the control of the little devil's elite gunner.With his fastest firing speed, concentrate his firepower, and continuously fire shells at the Ninth Army's coastal defense artillery positions.

Four rounds of naval gun shells are fired at a rate of eleven rounds per minute.It quickly poured into the corner of the coastal defense artillery position.And the several forts that were heavily attacked by the Yufeng destroyer were also shrouded in thick gunpowder in an instant.

In order to avoid these forts, they were breached under the continuous bombardment of Japanese naval guns.While launching an attack on the two retreating Japanese naval ships, Captain Jiang Qiwei had to mobilize one-third of the artillery. The attack seemed to be in trouble, but the Japanese destroyer Yufeng seemed to be going crazy. [

The shells from both sides came and went, just as everyone believed that the destroyer Yufeng had lost power.Under the fierce attack of several heavy artillery from the coastal defense artillery regiment, when they couldn't hold on for a few rounds, an accident happened...>

The destroyer Yukaze, which had been hit by at least ten shells, because all the shells fell on the non-lethal deck, did not play any role at all except causing a lot of damage to the Japanese naval officers and soldiers on the deck.

The four forts that were heavily attacked by the destroyer Yukaze of the Japanese Navy, because the forts were old and unrepaired for a long time, collapsed one after another, losing their combat effectiveness one by one... >

"Regiment seat. All four forts have lost contact..." Looking at the four forts that still showed no signs of counterattack, the communications staff reported with a solemn expression.

"Asshole...>

When the questioning gaze was placed on Major Jim.Holding up binoculars.Major Jim, who observed the specific enemy situation, said: "Order, the three double-linked large-caliber naval guns of the third battalion. Concentrate firepower and bombard the destroyers of the Japanese Navy that have lost power. The rest continue to bombard the remaining two ships of the Japanese Navy. All Artillery, shoot with full force...>

After the order was issued, the artillery staff in a group of two quickly notified the specific artillery coordinates to each artillery position.

In five seconds, the muzzles of all naval guns were adjusted in place.A new round of 15 rounds of naval artillery shells, with a sharp whistling sound, quickly swept across the sky and appeared over the Japanese naval fleet.

"Boom boom boom... >

Naval gun shells with a caliber of more than 150 mm are tens of kilograms more than [-] mm naval gun shells in terms of charge.And it was the charge of dozens of kilograms that instantly tore the armor of the main gun, which was still indestructible just now, into pieces.

In addition, the few shells in the main gun that had not had time to fire were directly detonated amidst the sound of explosion.The main cannon weighing more than ten tons turned out to be like a toy, pushed high into the sky by a huge air wave.

"Boom...>

The bow of the ship sank, and under the buoyancy of the sea water, the stern of the ship lifted accordingly.Facing the pouring deck, the officers and soldiers of the Japanese navy stuck on the deck of the warship were thrown into the sea one after another like dumplings.In the end, around the ship, amidst the continuous explosion of naval gun shells, they were quickly smashed into corpses by fragments...>

The entire ship, more than two-thirds of the naval officers and soldiers, and all the officers and soldiers on the deck were all buried in the sea.After the ship swayed from side to side due to loss of power, the undulating ship gradually stabilized.On the deck of the entire ship Nuo Da, there was hardly a living person to be seen.

Although the destroyer Yufeng still had two secondary guns left after the attack just now.However, in the absence of artillery, these two secondary guns can only be blocked as a non-threatening display.

In this way, under a round of attacks from the third coastal defense artillery battalion, the destroyer Yufeng, which was riddled with holes, maintained a complete hull.However, because he lost all his ability to resist, he could only let the waves slap his broken hull, and follow the waves, swaying and floating on the sea surface...>

The destroyer Yufeng fell silent for an instant, and Jiang Qiwei, who was nervous, immediately found a huge fighter in front of him.Before waiting for Major Jim's reminder, he ordered decisively to the combat staff behind him.

"Order, the 205rd Battalion of the Coastal Defense Artillery Regiment, (the three double-linked [-]mm naval guns attacking the Yufeng destroyer), immediately turn the muzzle, concentrate firepower, and attack the rear cruiser of the Japanese army. The [-]st Battalion, continue to harass Attack the remaining destroyer of the Japanese army. The second battalion, together with the third battalion, concentrate their firepower and attack the cruiser that the Japanese army lags behind. In a word, I must sink the little devil ship before it leaves the "shot" range...>

Six double-linked large-caliber naval guns, including three cannons with a diameter of more than [-] mm.Under the control of the German instructors, as if they had eyes, they continuously poured shells into the waters that the little devil cruiser must pass through.

Immediately, the thick water columns rising into the sky one by one, and the huge waves constantly being rolled up by the shells, like an indestructible water curtain, directly blocked the cruiser. (To be continued..)^-^
