520. sea battle
The "Xie Shuangyu" has three triple turrets and nine 406mm naval guns.
Its gunner is the three officers with the highest level of spiritual cultivation in the entire fleet.
They entered the state of refining the gods and firmly locked in the "Yamato", and at the same time, they also had the assistance of the advanced "optical rangefinder", which made them even more powerful.
After Captain Lin Zhongqing's order to "fire" was issued, the soldiers hurriedly squatted and grabbed the surroundings.
Immediately afterwards, there was a deafening roar! and a violent shaking!
I saw more than 20 meters long, able to penetrate into the huge cannon of adults, spraying out violent flames and thick smoke that covered the entire warship, and the shells weighing 1.2 tons roared out of the bore!
When the Jieshuangyu was built, the large-caliber naval gun technology was mature and it was particularly accurate.
The combination of the God Refining State and the "Optical Range Finder" produced a magical reaction!
Even if it is more than 20 kilometers away, the first round of shooting has a remarkable record!
The first 406mm shell hit the No. 1 main turret on the head of the Yamato ship.
Amid the violent metal impact, the shell was blocked by armor as thick as 650 mm, and failed to penetrate and then exploded.
However, the huge impact force still damaged more than a dozen Izumo Navy inside, and the observation equipment was also damaged.
Immediately afterwards, a second scorching shell roared and hit the Yamato's secondary turret.
This place is equipped with a 155mm naval gun, with weak defense design and only 25mm armor.
At this time, it was penetrated on the spot, and a tragic explosion occurred, and the entire turret was blown up into the sky.
Later, three more shells hit the Yamato everywhere, but unfortunately they did not penetrate the hull armor as thick as 410 mm.
But such a battle result was unexpectedly good, and the morale of the Zhenhai Fleet was greatly boosted:
“Beautiful fight!”
"The warship given by the True Lord is so amazing!"
All the soldiers hoped to expand the results of the battle, annihilate the obvious Yunhai Army ace in one fell swoop, and make contributions at the same time... to complete revenge!
Lin Zhongqing yelled wildly: "Recharge quickly! Shoot the various corpses and convey the ships!"
The "Xie Shuangyu" has a more advanced aiming system that transmits data to friendly ships, and they can hit it with a little adjustment.
However, the warships such as "Laiyuan, Jingyuan" that came together were built 20 years ago and could no longer keep up with the times and would not play much role.
The key to winning this battle depends on the "Xie Shuangyu" itself!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although it is difficult to get attacked suddenly on the Yamato side.
But Colonel Matsuda's previous roar made everyone mentally prepared.
Taking advantage of the loading of the opponent's main gun, he quickly launched a counterattack.
At this time, the two fleets were one horizontal and one vertical, forming a "T-shaped shape".
The Zhenhai Fleet occupies a favorable horizontal direction, lined up in a row, and all the main guns can play a role.
The Yamato is in a vertical line, and only the front main gun and some side sub guns can fire forward; the rear main gun cannot be used.
He didn't care about so much in a hurry, and the "Yamato"'s six 460mm naval guns opened fire immediately.
The 1.5-ton shell flew out at twice the speed of sound, and it hit no hit in the bumps of the waves. It either flew over the head of the enemy ship or fell into the sea to splash waves dozens of meters high.
This is the level that a normal warship should have. The first round of shooting is generally calibrated.
Before the radar matured, the artillery range measurement and fire control methods were very backward. You had to observe the landing point of the shells after testing, and then you could accurately shoot after adjustment.
But he had already lost the opportunity and was empty again in the first round, and the "Yamato" could only helplessly bear the baptism of another wave of shells.
I saw the hot shells with a trajectory of tearing the air and smashing into the sky like meteorites, causing a violent explosion like a rocking mountain!
Many seafarers were thrown into the wall of the warehouse, and countless bones were broken.
There was also an armor-piercing bomb with an excellent angle, which penetrated the "Yamato"'s front armor on the spot, tearing open a large hole with a diameter of nearly two meters, and a large amount of sea water poured into the water-tight compartment.
Faced with such disadvantages, Colonel Matsushima, the commander of the Yamato, did not choose to retreat, but ordered: "Go forward at full speed! Get closer!"
The helmsman repeated the captain's words loudly and immediately rushed towards the enemy at full speed.
"The brave one wins when they meet on a narrow road! The opponent's gun is accurate, so close the distance and offset its advantage!"
Izumo's side has full confidence in their "Yamato"!
Although I have been shot a few times now, for the battleship with thick skin, this injury is not bad at all.
The combat effectiveness of the Yamato was not affected much and always maintained at high speed. Only use the two turrets in front to fight back and quickly close the distance!
But the other Izumo warships following behind him were in trouble.
The "Yamato" fired or shot, which would produce smoke from the gunpowder, seriously hindering the vision of friendly forces and causing chaos.
But what's worse is that the opponent's shells are hit by a crooked shot and may hit the back of yourself.
A supply ship walking at the back was hit by a 406mm naval gun and was cut into two pieces on the spot.
There was also the heavy cruiser Aoba, which was pierced through the ply by a 406mm armor-piercing projectile, lifting off the entire boiler room and igniting a fire.
The group of people suddenly realized the gap between ships, and no one could withstand the other party's volley!
So they slowed down and looked for a comparable opponent - the small ship of the Zhenhai Fleet.
The Yamato didn't care about these little brothers who were only one-sixty-seventh of their tonnage, but only focused on implementing their own tactics, and finally narrowed the distance from their opponents to within 15 kilometers!
~~~~~~~~~~~
Seeing the opponent rushing towards him with great momentum, Captain Lin Zhongqing was fearless and even communicated with Deng Baixiang, the deputy captain who commanded the turret in the rear:
"Izumo is in a hurry to die, so let's help him!"
Deng Boxiang was observing the enemy ships and said at this time: "The opponent's full speed is only 27 knots, and the speed is much slower than ours."
"Yes, you need to fight slow with fast!" Lin Zhongqing shouted immediately: "Slide it twice first~ the left full rudder!"
The "Xie Shuangyu" immediately sailed to the left at full speed, and always maintained an angle of 35 degrees with the "Yamato" chasing behind him.
Next, the two battleships chased each other on the vast ocean without giving in the slightest.
The distance between the two sides was always around 15 kilometers, and the secondary guns opened fire one after another.
For a moment, firecrackers were heard on the sea, and hot shells slid down like meteor showers, and the air was filled with the smell of choking gunpowder, and the battle became white-hot.
After chasing like this for a quarter of an hour, the Yamato gradually realized that something was wrong.
The two ships always maintain an angle of 35 degrees... All the main guns of the other side can show their power;
On the other hand, I was at a loss, and there were still only two turrets that could counterattack, and I could only hit the opponent's large-angle tilted armor.
After a battle, the "Xie Shuangyu" also received several shots.
But although the armor is slightly thinner than the opponent, the metallurgical technology used is more advanced and the degree of solidity is not even worse.
In addition, the large angle of inclination was placed, and the enemy's shells were not significantly damaged except for causing violent shaking.
On the other hand, the Yamato was much more miserable. I can't remember how many shots my life was hit. Even the hull was strong, it had broken many places.
After being kited around, Colonel Matsuda finally realized that it would be a disaster if he continued like this, so he quickly ordered to retreat.
But how could Lin Zhongqing let him go? He immediately commanded the battleship to cut through the waves and turned the bow and chased after him.
This time it became the "Yamato" and wanted to run away. The "Xie Shuangyu" chased after it. It only took three minutes in total to catch up!
Seeing that he was easily caught up, Colonel Matsushima realized that the other party was not only a gun technique, but also had a speed that was far higher than him!
"Where did the Chinese people come from such an advanced warship!!"
