The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

At this time, the warships of both sides are within a distance of less than [-] kilometers, and the actions of either side will be detected by the lookout post. In order to speed up to the east, immediately arouse the alert of "Nagato"!

The crew of the entire ship from Yamamoto 56 had been prepared as bait, and they fought against the opponent's cannons without regret, and dragged them until the second team arrived. At this time, they suddenly turned over, and the opponent planned to use a battleship to face them. I, and "Mutsu", who can catch up in ten minutes, spared a ship to kill "Ri Xiang" and intercept the second team. Are they also crazy? !

"The fleet commander on the opposite side is a very brave guy!"

Yamamoto 56 nodded appreciatively, daring to make such a decision in Chapter 492 Battleship Showdown ([-]), it is not an ordinary decision that can be made with bravery, everyone knows that when facing the two most powerful battleships in the world, the fate will be different. How tragic, they must already have the consciousness of death!

Of course, their plan is also very clever, trying to get ahead with the absolute superiority of firepower, kill a capital ship of their own, and fight against the second team repeatedly. Threat!

It's just that you want to block the most powerful warship in the empire with just one?

Yamamoto 56 is not a huge cannon fanatic, but he is still full of confidence in his own battleship. Seeing that a guy has robbed him of the exciting scene, the corners of his mouth can't help drooping, and he snorted coldly: "Then let him do it!"

"Nagato" quickly turned the rudder to the right, and tied with the opponent in the shortest time.Four main guns fired at the same time!

"Boom~!"

A dull explosion struck the port side, and the power of missing bombs close by was not enough to threaten the super-thick armor of the hull, but it also surprised the entire "Songshan"!After chasing and wrestling for nearly half an hour, it was the first time that the opponent formed a straddle to him, and he shot so accurately, it seemed that his character had exploded!

An imminent threat.Shen Honglie's Chapter 492 Battleship Showdown ([-]) Not only did he not have the slightest panic, but his face became more and more excited, and an aura of "an old man chatting with a teenager crazy" filled his chest.He almost raised his voice and shouted: "Very good! Is the little devil finally unwilling to run away? Then don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Brothers, the opportunity for revenge has come!"

Through the loudspeakers, his shouts echoed inside and outside the battleship.A large number of non-commissioned officers from the former Third Fleet or from the Qingdao Naval Academy scattered in various posts, all of them were full of enthusiasm when they heard about it, and the fierce responses were like a sea tide!

They have all lived in Qingdao for many years and have personally experienced the weakness of the country. They watched the old ships of the Japanese Navy come and go in and out of the military port, sending soldiers to rush ashore at every turn to make trouble.Beat people, arrest people, run amok, do all kinds of evil, but there is nothing you can do!

Aggrieved!Yu angry!Kong has blood but is helpless.All kinds of shameful incidents make every passionate youth hate from the bottom of their hearts, but whoever makes all their warships add up is not as good as a "Izumo", the country is falling apart, and everyone bows their heads and obediently to the Japanese from above.They sighed in vain, they couldn't do it even if they had the strength!

But today, now, at the moment, they are on the most powerful warship in the world, and in front of them is the leader of the Japanese navy who has ravaged their homes many times. Finally, they no longer run away in embarrassment like mad dogs, and dare to turn around and bite , then as the Chinese navy, as a representative of countless compatriots who have suffered humiliation, with such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, starting from the highest officer, they have issued slogans of revenge. How can they not be excited and bloody? !

The young people of Qianbaihao wished to turn into cannonballs and throw them into the center from a distance. The native Qingdao radar soldiers kept their eyes on the screen, kept drinking, and announced new designs.Inside the turret, the commander covered the earphone with one hand and repeated loudly: "Azimuth 15 degrees to the right, altitude 25 degrees, distance 23550, ready—release!"

"...Azimuth 18 degrees to the right, altitude 23, distance 23389, prepare---release!"

"Let it go! Let it go! Let it go...!"

There was a loud shout, followed by earth-shattering bangs. The three turrets displayed their maximum shooting speed and astonishing accuracy. Under the scanning data of the fire control radar accurate to [-] meter, every shot was accurate. The accuracy was ensured to the greatest extent. As the warships of both sides drew closer and closer, they always approached the "Songshan" on the top of the "Nagato" dome in a large arc. The shells fired were far away from its bulky hull. Getting closer!

Finally, in the third minute of the head-on confrontation, at a relative distance of 3 meters, an armor-piercing projectile hit the port midship of the "Nagato" first, and the sharp shot pierced at a 21800-degree angle driven by the full charge was overwhelming A 45mm secondary gun was uprooted and pierced through, then plunged into the bottom of the upper deck and exploded, blasting the secondary gun and the steel, wood boards, and personnel three to four meters nearby into pieces, and a column of pyrotechnics boiled into the air. The corners of 140 Yamamoto's eyes in the command tower couldn't help but twitch!

But following them, they couldn't help cheering!In the next round of confrontation, seeing the crazy opponent from a distance set off a cloud of fireworks, the watchman shouted in a pitch-shifted voice: "Hit him!"

It was indeed a hit!From the very beginning to the present, the Nagato fired almost [-] shells, and all the barrels were almost overheated. A morale boost is guaranteed!

This is also an armor-piercing projectile, which hit the distance of a full 21 kilometers as if it was lucky. When the other shells were scattered for a kilometer, it happened to hit the starboard side of the "Songshan", far away from the bow of the ship. About 45 meters away!

The "Taishan-class" battleships are all designed with inclined armor. The thinnest part on the waterline also has a 305mm thick high-strength steel plate. The penetrating power is simply not enough to penetrate in one fell swoop, but the projectile head drills into a small part, and then explodes!

But look from a distance.It seems that huge damage has occurred on the opponent's hull, and the scene of thick smoke billowing is really exciting!

According to Ri's own tests and estimates, a strike at such a distance can almost achieve the second largest armor-piercing effect of a shell, and the guy on the opposite side with a small body carrying a large naval gun will definitely be hit hard!

With the explosion of more than ten kilograms of explosives, the broken projectiles swept across the upper deck.Indeed, it brought certain troubles to the "Songshan".It was the first time that it was hit by the shells head-on, and the hull was hit by the shells with huge kinetic energy, and the tremors and thick smoke produced by the explosion.The turret that was about to launch had to stop for a while, and stabilized the hull a little, followed by the furious soldiers to launch without hesitation!

20 kilometers.It is the best distance for such battleships to exert their maximum attack capability. Whether it is a Japanese ship or a Chinese battleship's main gun, the hit rate at this distance will rise linearly. They respectively broke out their own excellent standards, and the next main gun confrontation officially entered the tragic scene of eggs smashing each other with a sledgehammer!

Two minutes later, the "Songshan" fired again, and a shell hit the stern of the "Nagato".At the same time as the bombing and explosion, all three triple-mounted anti-aircraft guns at the rear were blown away, causing more than a dozen casualties!

Not long after, a shell from "Nagato" retaliated and hit the midship of the "Songshan", and smashed into the upper deck smoothly like shit!

The 50mm basalt fiberboard deployed on the surface successfully wiped off the shell's windshield.However, it was still pierced by the shells falling at a large angle. After removing its kinetic energy to the maximum extent, the second layer of 150mm composite horizontal deck layer stuck the shells tightly, and the hardest and most resilient space alloy plate The shell did not successfully break through, and the lower high-yield steel plate was only torn a small hole.

The shell exploded in an instant!Under the impact of the horizontal sweep, a 127mm twin-mounted turret was affected.The armor plate on the surface withstood the blow fiercely, and was blasted out with several pits and depressions, and the people inside were shocked to the point of bleeding!

Half of the steel warhead blasted into the cabin on the first floor through the hole, and the second floor of the empty cabin was against the high and thick dome armor, and it was not even put into a hole, despite the hundreds of catties of everyone The guy jingled and flicked in it for a while, turned into pieces and stopped obediently.

There is no time to take into account the loss situation, as long as the main gun is not blown away, and the hull is blown up, the counterattack will continue!

Three minutes later, the distance between the two sides was shortened to 3 kilometers, and the "Songshan" once again made a concerted effort!After a long journey, an armor-piercing projectile smashed into the rear mast of the "Nagato" at a 19.5-degree angle, entered directly from the left, and exited from the right, tearing a transparent hole with a diameter of one meter. Wherever it passed, the Japanese army officers in the infrastructure cabin There were many casualties, and nearly 30 people were killed!

The kinetic energy of the shell was exhausted, and it fell from the right rear, blasting away a 127mm high-shelf turret. The poor turret with almost no cover could withstand the toss of 1225 kg armor-piercing shells. The double-barrel turret was smashed into a discus on the spot, and then The explosion made all the gunners inside completely dead!

The worst thing is that there are still a bunch of shells and propellant charges ready to be loaded at any time, which will cause a second explosion after being triggered by the shells. The power is comparable to the ten kilograms of explosives in the armor-piercing shell. With a loud bang, the root of the turret was shaken to pieces. After the entire turret was uprooted and completely disintegrated, a shocking big hole was blasted out on the deck!

The "Nagato" was shocked suddenly, and the huge pillar of fireworks made Yamamoto 56 on the front command tower think that the rear main turret had done it. After asking hurriedly, he was slightly relieved, but the expression on his face was not optimistic at all. !

There was another burst of explosions that were close at hand, forming a straddling near-missing bomb that almost brushed the upper half of the tall conning tower and flew over to hit the sea surface. The water column from the explosion continued to hit the deck, making the corners of Yamamoto's mouth droop and almost become lowercase. N up!

The opponent's shelling is getting more and more accurate!Almost every two or three rounds can hit, and this is still in the state of high-speed sailing, in order to stop themselves and keep turning... They have only been in the army for a few years!How can a battleship that has just been launched into service and all novice artillery display such amazing combat effectiveness? !

Before he could think it through, another shell hit the "Nagato"!

This time, it was obvious that the opponent's gunner's personality exploded, and the launch from a distance of 18600 meters was too straight!The shell almost hit the left front of the b turret accurately, and blasted in from the top of the turret. It unstoppably drilled into the interior and exploded, together with the newly filled shell and the propellant, which exploded continuously!

The heavy turret looked like a piece of paper. It was lifted off the turret and flew into the air. It was shattered together with the gunner and commander inside. Half of the turret was destroyed like a goddess scattered flowers, and more than half of the destructive force was applied to it. On the A turret in front!

The two triple-mounted 25mm machine guns installed on the top, together with the soldiers, flew up to a height of more than 56 meters. The huge broken steel swept across the bridge at the rear, knocking down half of the mast and the bottom platform, and Yamamoto 62.5 on the top It felt like the earth was shaking, as if the world's tallest bridge with a height of [-] meters was about to break and collapse!

More than half of the glass in the front direction was completely shattered, and the anti-gun sandbags arranged below were blown away by the air waves. Flying from a height of 40 meters, he ran with his hands and pedals and finally failed to escape. He slammed on the deck and fell out of shape!

The a turret is tilting its head and trying to aim, never expecting danger from the sky, the thin and flat top steel plate may not even be able to withstand the armor-piercing shells of the heavy cruiser, let alone dozens of tons of steel!

Flying up, a gun barrel and half of the gun mount of Lao Gao's B turret "bangdang" volleyed on it, cracking and denting the welded and riveted plates immediately, and the three soldiers below were dizzy from the explosion. It became a patty, the gun mount A suddenly sank, and the "Kara" got stuck!

Half of the firepower of the "Nagato" was destroyed in an instant!

After a large number of commanders on the bridge got the report, their expressions all changed!Without further ado, Iwan Takahashi wanted Yamamoto to change places again, standing on such a high bridge, as if setting up a target for the opponent more than ten kilometers away, no matter who it is, don’t follow here I'm sorry to beat them, it's too conspicuous!

And the opponent's shells are terrible!The thick armor of the battleship seems to them like paper, completely unstoppable!If this is a high-angle hanging she, what danger will happen next? !

Yamamoto 56 resolutely pushed everyone away, and categorically shouted: "I will never give in! 'Mutsu' is coming, let's hold on! As long as we hold on for a few more minutes, everything will be fine!"

As if the courage of your Excellency the commander inspired the soldiers below, 2 minutes later, the "Nagato" with only two twin turrets hit the target again. bridge!

According to the general rule, the armor thickness of the bridge is far from being comparable to the waterline. At most, it is thicker around the command room, but the main structure will definitely be pierced!

But after the explosion, everyone was dumbfounded. At least half of the trapezoidal bridge was small and smooth with no building block structure and turning stairs visible. (to be continued)rq
