The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

"Boom! Boom---!"

The salvo of the battleship's main guns was louder than a certain level, and the thick and thick prevailed. In order to ensure that they would not be deafened, even though all the cabins and turrets were sealed, they still wore thick earmuffs. , so it sounds very calm.

But this does not mean that it cannot produce enough shock!The three turrets and nine giant cannons were fired sequentially with a time difference of one-thousandth of a second under the coordination of the delay coil. It sounded like a drumbeat, but it cleverly reduced the damage caused by the recoil of the salvo to the hull. The turret itself The borne force was effectively buffered by the 46000-ton steel hull, and was basically offset after the overall translation of more than ten meters.

The people on the battleship can feel the tremor twice a minute, accompanied by the thunder-like loud noise that seems to erupt from the depths of the heart, a shock that penetrates deep into the bone marrow lingers in the heart for a long time and cannot be vented!

Only by experiencing it personally can you know how attractive the giant ship cannon is!Why do men like it?Because such a guy can most arouse the male impulse!

At a distance of more than 20 kilometers, all the people in the center of the radar and air colonel can't see it. Even the soldiers on the top of the watchtower can't see clearly with a large telescope.

But all of this did not prevent them from rushing with blood, and their bodies were boiling hot with excitement!

Encountered such a violent blow, the "Kaga" was completely distressed!Probably from birth.Neither the designers nor the Japanese navy thought that one day she would be ravaged by two new battleships and heavy cruisers, or in a very unseemly state of sneak attack, as if she was stripped naked and let others destroy her !

The hit of the first 406mm shell seemed to be the prelude to the bombing, and the continuous shelling of the four warships soon yielded fruitful results!

Three minutes later, in the sixth round of strikes by the two battleships, a high-explosive shell accurately hit the center of the deck of the "Kaga". It smashed through the first flight deck with its own weight.After tearing open a large hole with a diameter of nearly one meter, he went straight into the lower cabin, killed the wall of the second compartment and fell into Zhong Yang. In the next instant, 3 kilograms of high explosives filled with explosives exploded!

Like a volcanic eruption, a huge ball of fire suddenly rose from the middle of the "Kaga", and amidst the loud noises of tens of kilometers of vibration, the terrifying explosive force enough to blow up a mountain began to wreak havoc from the middle of the ship, high temperature and high speed Flames spread along the damaged passage to the hangars and rooms on both sides.Wherever it passed, within a diameter of 50 meters, it was torn apart in an instant, the steel melted, the lining board was burned to ashes, and nearly forty Japanese soldiers who were busy inside were completely burnt to coke in an instant. , Fat and body mineral residues were slapped on the steel wall abruptly by the impact air waves.It forms imprints like the strange graphics in Van Gogh's pens, and seals them in the molten iron that gradually solidifies!

The entire battleship was pulled upwards abruptly, and in the next instant, the top two damaged decks were completely shattered by the hot air waves that soared into the sky, and a large bag with a radius of ten meters bulged upwards on the first layer. The rift in the middle and yang area was torn out to a length of five meters, and the pyrotechnic column under the constriction of the narrow space rushed into the sky for four to fifty meters like volcanic lava!

The four remaining fighter planes in the hangar were all blown up to pieces. The terrible thing was that a refueling truck temporarily withdrew here and hadn't driven away. It was immediately ignited by flames, and only followed by a second violent explosion.The power of the oil-gas mixture is no less than that of TNT explosives. In a short while, a new dojo was opened next to it. The gasoline that did not burn out immediately was released from the passage and the cracks that were opened with flames. Surrounded, hundreds of soldiers of the Japanese army were immediately circled in, and the barbeque squeaked and howled miserably!

The vibration caused by the explosion was too violent, and the old keel "Kalala" burst into teeth-piercing twisting and breaking sounds one after another.The riveted steel beam skeleton looked out of shape, but under the impact, the four boilers in the power cabin stopped working on the spot, and the speed slowed down again. The shocked captain Noichiro straightened up with difficulty. body, looking down at the runway that has been completely disused, his eyes are full of despair!

In such a combat environment, at such a distance, facing such a powerful battleship, the huge hull with a severely slowed speed is a living target!The 1700 crew members from him will definitely become victims of the steel explosion. The "Kaga" and him are finished!

In the command room on the bridge of the "Hengshan" battleship, Chen Shaokuan calmly put down his binoculars, turned his head and ordered: "All artillery fire turns to the next target, 'Chicheng'!"

"Yes!" Zheng Dateng asked in confusion after passing the order, "Why don't you just completely sink the injured Japanese ship?"

Chen Shaokuan smiled slightly: "Destroy tactics. It would take a long time to sink a giant ship of [-] to [-] tons by artillery. In such a favorable situation for us, it would be a waste of time. The most urgent thing is to manufacture as many ships as possible. Effectively kill them and make them all crippled, unable to run away, unable to die, other warships have to worry about it, and the speed will be dragged as a whole; if they are ignored, it is still a food in our pockets?"

Zheng Dateng suddenly realized, and Cheng Yaoliang, the chief of staff next to him, shook his head lightly. This is the level of Chief Chen's personal adjutant. It may not be so easy to grow up like a qualified admiral.It seems that the fellow has no similar ideals.

The 12 turrets of the four battleships turned in unison, lined up along the battle line, and aimed at the "Kaga" that had turned inward. The direction of the attack has been clarified, and it is embarrassing not to hit him.

The all-electric turret turns too fast!The bombardment only stopped for less than a minute, and then exploded again. It sounded like there was no interruption in the middle!

The gunners who had already found their sense formed a straddle in the first round of strikes, but the deviation was a little too far forward, and the blasted water column could not even be scattered on the flight deck of the "Akagi".

But this was enough to panic the senior officers above!The captain, Junichi Mizuno, anxiously shouted at the five sons of Yamamoto: "Your Excellency, Commander! Please leave this ship immediately, the enemy's artillery fire has been directed at us!"

Even if the battleship was used as the base model, Mizuno knew very well that with the metallurgy and construction technology 20 years ago, the strength of this ship was not reliable at all!Except for the 250mm armor retained at the waterline, whether it is the flight deck built up to the top, the cabin in the middle, or the original armor plate at the bottom, even the opponent's heavy cruiser 203mm artillery armor-piercing shells can't handle it. It's a dozen holes!

And the middle of the open deck is full of holes. At close range, shells with a slightly smaller angle can penetrate through it. The inside and outside are just iron cans with air leaks everywhere, which is not a problem at all!

The opponent's artillery shells are about to hit, and I don't know when they will eat one. The consequences... just look at the sister ships ahead!

Although Yamamoto 56 had enough mental preparation, he watched the "Kaga" turn into an inextinguishable fire burning, his heart ached like a knife, his cheeks twisted slightly and he roared: "I can't go! The Imperial Navy Your generals have never been greedy for life and afraid of death! How can I hold my head up in the future if I run away in battle?!"

He grabbed the microphone and moved it to the side of the brass pipe, shouting loudly: "Warriors of the Imperial Navy! We are facing a shameless sneak attack by the Chinese Navy, and temporarily lost the cover of the capital ship. We may be hit or blown up at any time! But , you are here, I am here, we are the pride of the Imperial Japanese Navy, the glory of His Majesty the Emperor, and the flower of the invincible empire! We will never show weakness to shameless enemies, let alone because of a momentary encounter Even in the face of powerful naval guns, we still have enough courage to draw out our swords and launch an assault! Please join me and fight to the end!"

"Fight to the end!"

"Imperial Navy onboard!"

"His Majesty onboard! Onboard!"

The sound from the loudspeaker in the explosion first rang throughout the "Akagi", and then was played from the speakers of other ships. Gathering the entire Japanese Navy's elite fleet, there was a deafening, deafening sound immediately. Heart-piercing roar!

At this moment, the three light cruisers and five destroyers completed their turn, and launched an impact on the four warships that were approaching more and more in the diagonal stab!

Chen Shaokuan looked at it clearly, frowned slightly, and Cheng Cheng Yaoliang sighed: "Our navy is still too weak! It is difficult to achieve a systematic combination of ships. Compared with the Japanese army, it is still far behind!"

Chief of Staff Cheng asked puzzledly, "Why did Chief Chen say that?"

Chen Shaokuan pointed to the light cruiser that was charging with full horsepower: "Look, just the flank of a Japanese army team has gathered a variety of ship types such as aircraft carriers, heavy cruisers, light cruisers, and destroyers. Light cruisers, in ocean-going operations, serve as a variety of tasks such as front path detection, flank anti-submarine, and rear enemy resistance. They are flexible, quick-responsive, and very practical. There are nearly twenty such warships in the Japanese army, plus their heavy cruisers. It is very important to form an all-round defense against capital ships!"

Cheng Yaoliang was stunned, and nodded deeply: "Indeed! Although we seem to have a lot of ship types, except for destroyers, they are all scattered and unsystematic, and there is a lack of a key transition between heavy cruisers... ...Speaking of which, Commander Zhu should be able to recognize this problem, why didn't he improve it?"

The corner of Chen Shaokuan's mouth showed helplessness: "We don't have relevant reference objects. The cycle of all research by ourselves is too long, and the ship design and manufacturing personnel are too short!" (To be continued)rq
