Chapter 432 The debut of the Shannan-class battleship
The moment before the bomber exploded, Chen Feng broke the operating rod and the attack plane cut out from the left and left the bomber. It was his wit that avoided the end of the burial.
"How is it? Are you okay?" Hearing Qin Ze behind him in the headphones, he grinned. Chen Feng thought he was injured. At this time, he could not look back at the plane. Chen Feng could only be anxious in the sending machine.
ask.
"It's okay, it's just that the bullet shell fell on the hand and burned it." Qin Ze replied while blew the scorched area on his hand and cooled down. Chen Feng was relieved. Seeing Chen Feng Jiangong, he didn't know
The attack aircraft that shot how to shoot followed suit. One by one, the Saar bombers were shot and exploded in the air. After the landing fighter planes refueled and loaded, they took off again. Twenty Handley Page bombers were all shot down.
Amid the cheers of the sailors, attack planes landed on the deck. Chen Feng was the first to park the plane on the deck. He jumped off the plane and shouted at the mechanic who came over bee pupa, "Hurry up."
I drew three five stars on my plane, but I didn’t expect that I would have shot down too, hahaha.”
Chen Feng stood in front of the plane and laughed. He was so excited that he could shoot down the enemy plane, but the cheering crowd drowned his words, and Chen Feng himself was thrown into the sky by the cheering crowd.
The Sar people and the aircraft were wiped out, while their colonial governor's office and the southern fleet were still confused. "Discover the enemy fleet." The lookout on the Shannan battleship first saw the thick black smoke in the distance, on each ship
The battle alarm was quickly sounded, and all the sailors were in their place. Today they would fight a face-to-face fleet artillery battle with the Sars of the world's first navy.
"Discover enemy ships and discover the fleet of the Chinese Empire." The warships of the Chinese Empire have all used oil-fired boilers, and thick black smoke does not appear from the chimneys. Therefore, ten minutes later, Saar discovered the battleship led by Sun Xiaohu.
.
Because it was discovered too late, the Saar people had much less preparation time. The Saar sailors on the deck ran around and rushed to their respective battle positions, and the warships began to quickly adjust into combat formations.
.
"Turn left thirty degrees." Lieutenant General Okaran shouted on the bridge.
"Turn left forty-five degrees." Sun Xiaohu also issued almost the same order at the same time.
The two fleets that were originally opposite each other deviated from a certain angle due to their respective turns, and the battleships that gave up the angle began to fire their guns. The first one fired the gun was the Battleship of the Saar fleet. This Saar Empire was before the war.
The first ship of the last class of Chinese ships built has a giant cannon with a caliber of 356 mm, which is quite powerful.
Immediately following the two monarch-class battleships in the Saar Navy's ranks, two prestige-class battleships and three 100-man captain-class battleships began to fire their guns. Among these Chinese ships built by the Saar, in addition to the 100-man captain-class battleships, other battleships were also launched.
The gun has a minimum caliber of 330 mm, and its range is very long and its power is strong.
The 305mm gun that the Saar Navy bullies against the Chinese-class battleship has a small caliber and a short range. If you want to rely on your own range, you will start to seize the T-head position outside the range of the opponent's gun and suppress the battle fleet of the Chinese Empire.
What surprised Lieutenant General Okaran was that the opponent did not continue to rush forward, but also chose to turn. Some surprise Lieutenant General Okaran raised his telescope and looked at Sun Xiaohu's fleet that was turning, and when he saw the opposite side
When the battleship was so majestic, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh my God, what did I see? Why are those battleships so big?"
When he was walking towards each other, he couldn't see anything. When Sun Xiaohu commanded the fleet and began to turn, the Shannan-class battleship, which was almost twice as big as the Chinese-class battleship, appeared. It was 36,000 tons.
The Shannan battleship completed the steering with flexible movements, and the nine 381mm main guns raised their muzzles high.
Looking at the Saar battleship opposite, Sun Xiaohu's mouth curled up slightly: "Always remember to eat but not beat, let me tell you again, the first article of the Chinese Navy manual, when others enter your range, you will be the same.
, all main guns should be careful and fire the gun."
"Commander, what you said last time was like to say to the Cossack fleet." Song Wu, who had been promoted to the commander of guns and cannons of battleships, kindly reminded.
"Uh, is that right? Anyway, it's the countries we are fighting with, let them remember them all." Sun Xiaohu blushed and defended.
After receiving the order to fire the artillery, the battleship Shannan fired two calibration shells. Two shells fell into the water one after another, and exploded the water column soaring into the sky. The height of the water column was higher than the previous Saar shells.
More than half.
A shell landed more than 60 meters away from the port side of the Magnificent Battleship. The sudden water column would operate the secondary cannon on the deck. The sailors who transported small-caliber shells were poured into chickens. Seeing that the shell landing point was so close,
The captain of the Magnificent Ship was really shocked. The calibration bullet was so accurate, which was quite impressive.
The calibrating bullet is mainly due to the chief gun officer Song Wu. This magic gunner, who was not old at the time, still played the naval gun so accurately. Moreover, after further studies at Vladivostok Naval School, he learned more scientifically.
The calculation method is even more accurate.
Captain Majestic's worries soon came true, and the Shannan battleship quickly transmitted data to other ships via radio. Four Shannan-class battleships adjusted their muzzles one after another. Half a minute later, the first round of artillery began.
On the town star, only the Chinese Empire carried out calibrated bullet firing before artillery battles. This benefit is that it facilitates gun officers to observe the landing point and correct the ballistics.
Other countries, even the Saar Empire, the largest naval power, did not have such habits. In their perception, only by dropping more shells to the other side faster can they kill the enemy as quickly as possible. Therefore, they will come up as soon as they come.
He launched a volley, fearing that he would not be able to get the first shot, but it would be difficult to calculate such a shooting. Therefore, although the fleet of the Chinese Empire was a back-attack every time he shot, he could always achieve better results.
The first round of accurate volleys fell into the sea not far from the Saar fleet. The water mist stirred completely blocked the shooting sight of the Saar battleship, causing the Saar battleship's volleys to deviate a lot from this round of volleys.
The Shannan-class battleship was equipped with a power winch for the first time, which increased the loading speed of his main gun a lot, so a new round of volleys began half a minute later. The gunners of the Dansar Empire were still busy.
When he was lifting the shells with a mechanical winch, thirty-six 381mm shells were already in the air. Although most of the shells fell into the water, one directly hit the side of the battleship Coventry.
Side.
How could the Coventry, which had a thickness of only 310 mm on the side armor, with such a large caliber shell? The shell penetrated directly into the hull, not only tearing a large hole in the side of the Coventry, but also penetrated it.
The shells were still exploding in the residential cabin, causing the place to be in a mess. Fortunately, the sailors were busy in their respective combat positions, and there was no one in the residential cabin, so they were lucky to have no casualties.
Even if there were no casualties, the big hole on the side of the warship was shocking. The captain immediately ordered the damaged pipe to plug the leak. Several sailors quickly lifted the steel plate and spliced it in the hole. Two sailors were wearing masks and busy with the welding guns in their hands.
, but their busyness did not make much sense, because soon the second wave of shelling attacks came again.
The sound of explosions sounded one after another, and this time there were more shells hitting the target, with three shells hitting the target, two of which hit the Coventry.
Today must be the most fortunate day for the Coventry. One of these two shells hit the No. 1 turret. Although it was barely bounced away by the inclined armor, it knocked its two main guns into bends.
The captain and the officers inside the bridge were torn into pieces before they had time to escape, and the entire bridge was blown into pieces.
A big hole, the Coventry suddenly lost command.
Another shell hit the deck of the La Naro. The deck, which was only 120 mm thick, could not stop the invasion of the powerful kinetic energy of the warhead. The shell penetrated straight into the coal bin and exploded, causing the coal powder accumulated in the cabin.
All of them ignited, and a fire broke out on the Ranaro in an instant.
Seeing that his own battleship suffered a loss, Lieutenant General Okaran was shocked. He immediately ordered the cruiser and destroyer to launch a charge, attempting to get close to the battleships of the Chinese Empire to fight hand-to-hand combat. This is the old tactic of the Saar Empire, and Sun Xiaohu is also guarded against this.
of.
Seeing the opponent's cruiser and destroyer coming out, Sun Xiaohu also ordered his cruiser and destroyer to rush up. At the same time, the four Chinese-class battleships that had not fired their guns behind the four Shannan-class battleships were aimed at these urgent needs.
The small warship of the Saar Empire came.
As soon as we entered the firing range of the 305 mm main gun of the Chinese-class battleship, four Chinese-class battleships launched a volley. The dense shells fell on the sea and rushed into mass mist, causing the nearby people to sail at high speed.
The destroyers of the Saar Empire swung left and right and almost overturned.
Relying on the modified and replaced electric hoist, the Chinese-class battleship vented artillery fire at a higher rate of fire than the Shannan-class battleship. Although the 305mm artillery seemed to be at a disadvantage in the fleet battleships between battleships, it relied on it higher.
The speed of fire is easy to deal with cruisers and destroyers. With the joint efforts of Chinese-class battleships, cruisers and destroyers against the enemy, the small Saar warships had no chance at all. Before they entered the torpedo launch distance, they
Has been lost most of it.
Gao Bo, who commanded the torpedo boats to fight the Japanese cruiser, was already the commander of the Southern Ocean Fleet Cruiser. Seeing that although the small Navy ships of Saar suffered heavy losses, they still rushed towards him. He immediately ordered the cruiser to accelerate and arrive.
