The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

The impact of the kinetic energy of the 1050-kilogram heavy shell, and the subsequent impact of the explosion, made the people on the bridge of the "Songshan" disoriented, staggered, and even fell down!

But after the gunpowder smoke passed, Shen Honglie brushed off the non-existing dust on his body calmly, straightened his military uniform, and even smiled at Xie Gangzhe leisurely: "Boss Zhu really does not lie, our After the battleship is armored, there is no one in the world! Good and bad, good and bad!"

Xie Gangzhe had lingering fears, his lips were a little white, he spit out his speech, and nodded in shock: "It's really! I didn't expect it to be so powerful! But Commander Shen, in my opinion, let's go down to the command cabin, this place is not very safe! "

Shen Honglie waved his hand lightly: "No! I want to see Japan's strongest battleship being sunk by us from beginning to end! Otherwise, it will be hard to get rid of the lump in my chest!"

After scanning the other officers in a blink of an eye, he said meaningfully: "We must have confidence in Commander-in-Chief Zhu! We must also have confidence in our warship design and manufacturing experts!"

"Yes!" His statement seemed to be a reassurance, and a group of people responded loudly, let go of their hearts, and continued to work.

The direct hit of this gun not only did not cause much damage, but made them more and more invincible. This is probably something that Yamamoto 56 never thought about.

If Yamamoto knew what monster he was dealing with, he would jump up in anger and scold Zhu Bin for being shameless!

The design and manufacturing process of the "Taishan-class battleship" is all calculated and controlled by the brain, and the main body is welded and assembled by all robots.What it brings is an absolutely constant production and processing quality. The main body of the entire battleship is almost similar to that casted by a mold. The power transmission and mutual support of each part is not due to paper work and later revisions in this era, and a large number of riveting is used. Craftsmanship as far as Ri himself can imagine.

The upper bridge was hoisted up after it was manufactured separately.It is a heavy overall structure in itself, and it is not the same thing as Japan's building block-style thing built up layer by layer.

Material armor.It's not the same either.In order to ensure that the superstructure is light enough so that the center of gravity of the entire battleship is not too high, less than half of the steel used inside the bridge is even used.Most of them are constructed of high-strength fiberglass, and on the outside, they are pasted with a 100mm thick basalt fiber layer!

Inside the bridge, there are elevators, up and down stairs, and slides to ensure traffic safety during wartime; on the smooth exterior, the composite armor structure layer at any place will not be less than 350mm thick, and the key parts even have 400mm, don’t forget , This is not a homogeneous steel plate, but a composite material that is stronger and more durable than armor steel!

so.The Japanese artillery shells with poor armor-piercing ability have such a good character and power to penetrate such armor!

The confusion on the outside is too deceiving! Ri himself judges others by himself, thinking that the guy made by the other party will be weak, but he is completely wrong!

If it weren't for the extensive use of ultra-light composite materials. The standard displacement of the "Taishan class" will definitely exceed 4 tons!The "Nagato-class" who are older and backward than them are only higher than lower!

The obvious gunfire of the "Nagato" is sparse, and the smoke billowing on the front deck can be seen at a glance. They have a big problem!The shelling in front had caused huge damage to it, and Shen Honglie felt relaxed and happy with a bad breath all over his body.Behind the elegant gold-rimmed glasses, there was a cold light in his eyes, and he yelled coldly: "While he is sick, kill him! Don't stop, sink this ship with all your strength!"

"understand!"

We are about to usher in a full-scale bitter battle, and it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt his ten fingers. This truth cannot be more clear.After finally seizing the opportunity to beat up Little Japan, all the officers and soldiers on board were full of energy!

"Songshan" turned right in a large arc and continued to circle and intercept the front of "Nagato". The turning radius and speed advantage are extremely difficult to play out.At this moment, the two are zoomed in to a range of 18 kilometers. If a single turret aims at it, it is no different from killing the target!

But at this moment, a battleship with a similar appearance suddenly flashed out from the right front of the "Nagato" at high speed!With a slender hull, a towering bridge, 410mm twin turrets, and a spoon-shaped bow, its true identity is clearly revealed --- "Mutsu"!

Five kilometers earlier than the flagship, "Mutsu" turned around and headed north!

After missing part of the voyage in a straight line north, this warship of the same level finally arrived at the battlefield at a critical moment, and adjusted its direction in advance. At the critical moment when "Nagato" lost half of its firepower, it suddenly burst out from its right front , the huge hull crosses obliquely between the two ships, and the four turrets turn to the starboard side in unison. And they are about to go their separate ways, attacking from both sides!

The "Hengshan" immediately reversed from a unipolar initiative to a two-way interception by two Japanese ships!Going forward, you will face "Nagato" and the four battleships of the Second Squadron galloping forward; backward, you will collide with "Mutsu" in a straight line, and you will not be able to grab the head. The terrible thing is that no matter how he changes direction , at this moment, the distance between the two sides is less than 20 kilometers, and for at least ten minutes, they will be hit by the opponent's continuous firepower!

Yamamoto 56 made several calculations, and used the flagship as a bait to carry it to this moment!

A joyful smile finally appeared on his tense face, as if he had finally unblocked his constipation after three days, his eyebrows were raised up, and he shouted loudly: "I can finally breathe a sigh of relief! Order the turrets to immediately replace them with the Jiuyi type." Armor-piercing projectiles, given to the China warship, lethal lore!"

"Type [-] armor-piercing bomb?!" All the officers stared in surprise, Takahashi Iwan even clenched his fists, and repeated in a trembling voice, "Sir, are we going to use this secret decisive weapon?"

Yamamoto 56 nodded heavily: "It's time! We have endured until now, and paying such a high price, isn't it just to seek the best opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the Chinese battleship? It's time!"

"Hi! Got it!" Takahashi Yiwang happily exchanged glances with the others, each of them straightened their chests, and let out a long breath!

Type [-] armor-piercing projectile.What the hell is it?So much so that a group of Japanese elites are so serious and secretive?

This is a special warhead specially developed for the "Nagato-class" battleship. It is 203 centimeters long and more than two meters high. A little bit.

But that's not the point, the point is.This shell is equipped with a special hood on the head, and the hood will fall off automatically after falling into the water at a relatively small angle.Then the shell, which should have changed direction severely and lost its kinetic energy rapidly, will maintain a stable flight direction like a torpedo.In the shallow water area, it crashed directly under the armor belt of the battleship's waterline!

The supersonic speed blasted by naval guns, the physical impact of a ton of steel warheads, the kinetic energy is strong enough to penetrate thick armor plates, and it is stronger than the slow torpedo penetration, causing damage below the waterline. Even if only a charge of 15.5 kilograms explodes, it is enough to cause serious damage, and it is light to fill one side of the cabin with water!

After the successful development of such super gadgets.It is classified as a very high secret by the Japanese Navy, and it is regarded as a "decisive weapon".

Previously, it was difficult to form a concentrated fire strike because the distance was too far to be sure, and it was still unable to gain an advantage.Yamamoto 56 would rather fight hard than use it, just to create a sudden blow from the machine!

But now, "Mutsu" came and successfully seized the reverse advantage angle, two to one, 12 main guns to 9.The form is completely reversed, the distance is only 18 kilometers, it is the best time to use this ultimate move!

"Boom! Boom boom!"

The "Mutsu" launched an attack unceremoniously, the eight main guns spewed out thick smoke, and every ton of zero armor-piercing shells whizzed away, half of the tail and right side of the "Songshan" sailing diagonally The hulls are all exposed within its precision strike range!

Ri's own gun-making technology comes from the British. The steel wire used in the "Nagato class" is wound to tighten the barrel, which is lighter than those of the seven-story artillery. If a single gun turret shoots accurately, the theoretical accuracy can reach the excellent data of 300 meters far and near, and 130 meters around, but if the four gun turrets are fired together, plus the turbulence of the ocean and the tilt of the hull, it goes without saying.The so-called precise strikes from 30 kilometers away are basically used to fool people, apart from bragging about it.

But within 20 kilometers, it is completely different!Almost the main guns of battleships all over the world can achieve relatively accurate strikes, and the Japanese themselves have always been very experienced in gunnery skills, and they are extremely well trained. Even if they use relatively primitive shooting directors and optical sighting systems, seriously Do it, still not to be underestimated!

At this time, the distance is right, the firepower is enough, and the secret big killer --- Type [-] armor-piercing bullet is replaced. A desire to win the victory seems to be completely spewed out along with the raging artillery fire!

The spectacular scene of the two ships launching together fell into the sight of the telescopes of everyone in the bridge command room of the "Songshan", and even the huge projectiles flying into the air at more than twice the speed of sound could leave a short spot of light on the retina, Shen Honglie There was no expression of worry or anxiety on the face of the two-on-one, but a faint smile on the corner of the mouth: "Finally here! In this way, our task is half completed. Next, you must ensure that we No matter what, we must support until the end!"

"Please rest assured, sir! With us, the battleship will be there!"

The answers from various departments are not neat, but the confident atmosphere between the words is exceptionally clear.Shen Honglie nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, continue to surround the enemy's flagship, keep the course, and fight!"

put all one's eggs in one basket!Who said old Mr. Shen can't be decisive?It's just that he didn't catch the opportunity, and now he's playing hard, not weaker than the average Lengtouqing!

The artillery shells fired by the Japanese army finally hit the front after traveling a long distance!After precise calculations and drills, almost all the shells landed ahead of time on the right side of the "Songshan" which was less than 18 kilometers away. The straight and arc-shaped trajectory ensured a high terminal velocity. Among the 12 shells, three were within 200 meters. The place smashed into the sea, the hood was washed off by someone, and the shell pierced several meters under the water with a sharp angle of more than 20 degrees, and suddenly flattened. One shot was too far away and sank into the deep sea due to kinetic energy failure. Before he had time to adjust, he touched the surface of the waterline armor sideways, and there was a loud "boom", like a Hong Zhong Dalu, and a slight depression with a diameter of two meters was forcibly hit!

In the last shot, the distance was just right, the angle was just right, and the time for the hood to come off was just right, and it hit the middle yang of the waterline armor belt after the full load sank at an angle of almost seventy degrees!

"Boom!" There was a loud noise! The starboard side of the "Songshan" was full of flames, and the sea water was raised tens of meters high. The whole ship trembled violently, as if it had been hit by a sledgehammer weighing hundreds of thousands of catties!

The 350mm thick high-strength space alloy main armor belt is half lighter than conventional hardened armor steel, and its hardness, strength, and toughness are at least twice as high. Shengsheng was smashed into a depression more than a foot deep!

Even with the thick basalt fiber lining inside, and the dome armor layer that rises obliquely and extends to the horizontal height, it almost surrenders with such a terrible puncture!

The armor-piercing projectile of the 410mm main gun used by the "Nagato-class" battleship has a large-angle piercing power within 18 kilometers.

Thanks to the advanced laser, plasma, ultrasonic and high-pressure fusion welding technology, the hull of the "Taishan-class battleship" is almost perfectly round, and there are no structural defects of chains hanging at various critical moments of rivet joints all over the devil's body. The huge kinetic energy The impact is quickly buffered to the surroundings by the high-toughness alloy plate, and the internal liner plays a strengthening role at critical moments, ensuring that it will not be damaged due to this.

But in the "Songshan", everyone from Shen Honglie onwards was shocked!Shot!Or the waterline armor belt!Although it claims to be able to withstand the shooting of its own main gun, but there is no data of the Japanese naval gun, who knows if this thing can withstand it!

In addition, the angle of the shells fired by the Japanese army is so fucking weird!Did it just happen by chance?

The damage control quickly reported the inspection results against the heavy shells: "The starboard armor belt was hit hard, but it did not cause destructive damage. It will not affect the temporary combat, and we can continue!"

Only then did everyone heave a sigh of relief, and then returned the color, nine armor-piercing bullets continued to smash at the "Nagato"!

In less than 1 minute, the Japanese army launched another round of concentrated artillery shelling, which was still the shells that fell ahead of time. This time, all the observation posts stared and saw clearly, and even the radar and sonar close-in defense systems creaked alarms. 1.5 Mach speed long-distance artillery shells fell into the water and formed a straight line of impact... This was caused by intentional shelling techniques!

Once was an accident, twice, it is definitely not a coincidence! The Japanese army is using this completely different shelling technique to deliberately create close-range strikes on the waterline armor!

"Boom!" One shell grazed the port side of the stern, skimmed over the falling water and exploded, and another shell hit the waterline just like the previous one, hitting a place about 2 meters below the bow, still unable to deal with the thick space Alloy plate, but the huge vibration made the entire battleship tremble, and the vibration caused by the steel collision and explosion made many people on the whole ship stunned!

At this moment, a young shooting commander suddenly yelled strangely: "I remembered! Isn't this the 'water bomb' we played? I can do it too!" (To be continued) rq
