Chapter 128 The Burning Ocean (II)

Xu Fan Cluster Flagship, Guangzhou.

"The armor-piercing bomb in the head of the port side of the Russian Formation No. 4 Borodino class... The high-explosion bomb in the swollen part... The main turret of the Russian Formation No. 4 Borodino stopped firing, and the reason was unknown... The sub-iuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

"The Russian formation No. 5 Polodino-class commander tower has a high explosive bomb, and the port side of the swelling sub-turret ceases..."

"The swelling of the Guilin unit was shot, the high-explosive bomb was shot in the head of the Guilin ship, and the water was inlet... The stern of the ship was hit near the bomb, and the hull was broken..."

"The Guilin caught fire... The Guilin sent a signal, and the maximum speed dropped to twenty-three knots..."

"The main turret of the Russian ship No. 1 was shot and ceased, burned...extinguished... The main turret of the Russian ship No. 1 Kutuzov class No. 1 lost its combat power, confirm..."

"Update the relative position of our team and the enemy's army and the route data." Xu Fan shouted at the horn inside the ship.

"Russia's No. 1 formation is located in the southeast, with a speed of 17 knots, a distance of 8,000..." The lookout hand was fast and clear, "The Japanese first team is located in the northeast, with a speed of 18 knots, a distance of 15,000."

"The team's first speed is fast, turn right and eight prayer points"

Xu Fan's order immediately shocked the audience.

His eight warships were to lie between the Russian Makarov formation and the Japanese Togo formation, cut off the path of their rendezvous, and start fighting against the two formations at the same time.

south.

The Togo Heihachiro fleet, who was striving forward bravely, encountered a scene that made him dumbfounded.

In the southeast of its ship, Xu Bo's formation was catching up with a speed of nine knots in a north direction, and launched the main turret of the third company of the Boding and Anyang to shoot against the Yashima at the end of the Japanese ship. Yashima was shot repeatedly, and it had already stalled in water and was gradually leaving the entire formation.

To the northeast, eight Chinese light cruisers rushed towards him at a speed of 26 knots, sweeping over the upper Japanese building with six-inch main guns, and releasing torpedo attacks at 2,600 yards. For a moment, the Japanese warships were overturned and in chaos.

On the other side of the Japanese battleship, Zhang Feiyun, the first squadron leader of the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Flying Eagle seaplane, rushed towards the Japanese warship with five seaplanes, pointing directly at the Satsuma.

Zhang Feiyun pulled the button, and the light machine gun at the base of the wing poured the bullets onto the Satsuma bridge.

Although everyone on the Satsuma saw that the group of planes had bad intentions, they did not expect that the other party had equipped weapons. The Chinese army has always used airships for reconnaissance, at most it was bombing. As for the simple wooden skinned flying toys in front of them, no one really thought it was of great use.

Six planes and dense machine gun bullets caused heavy losses to the Satsuma, which was caught off guard. The glass of the bridge was broken, the observation deck's observation hand was injured, and some staff officers and sailors who did not dodge in time fell to the ground. On the battle position on the swollen deck, the machine gun bullets rebounded back and forth between the steel, screaming for a while.

The Chinese seaplane that flew past dropped a forty-kilogram aviation bomb from the starboard side of the Satsuma, six aircraft, a total of twelve.

Although the Chinese army's bomb dropping head was not high and it was not dive bomb dropping, fortunately the aircraft was slow and the Japanese army lacked air defense firepower and air defense awareness, these bombs actually received miraculous results.

The deck of the Satsuma was temporarily submerged in the flash of explosion, and the secondary cannon was blown up in a twist.

One of the Chinese pilots, Ma Weiguo, who had just graduated from Sanya Naval Aviation School for three months, insidiously dropped the bomb at the stern of the Satsuma ship, and the target was undoubtedly two propellers.

Although it didn't hit, it was enough to make the Japanese hearts chill.

The most terrifying thing is that this series of blows seriously interfered with ship control and observation.

A torpedo exploded a soaring water column on the port side of the Satsuma, which was a 533-mm torpedo launched by the Chinese destroyer.

The Satsuma's hull shook violently and its speed gradually decreased.

"The eighth cabin of the No. 4 loss pipe area is broken, the first and second teams will go to the No. 4 loss pipe area..."

Inside the bridge, Akiyama Matsuki, who was still scared, got up from the ground, looked up and saw a figure standing tall.

General Hirahachiro Togo, who has a short figure, stood firmly in front of the sound tube, his voice as firm as before: "The whole team maintains its original course and has the greatest speed of battle... In any case, he must meet with Commander Makarov."

Akiyama Matsuyuki felt a burst of blood rushing to his head, his eyes turned red, and he stood up and yelled: "Staff, master the damage to each ship, formulate a combat strategy, and prepare to fight the enemy's surface fleet."

" はい(Yes)!"

At this moment, the situation of the battlefield from north to south is as follows:

The northmost is the former Witgeft cluster, which is traveling parallel to the southeast with a speed of 15 knots. Now that the ship Prince of Witgeft sank, Witgeft died, the commander of the Litgeft captain, Major General Rudnev, led the Litgeft, Peresvet and Victory continued to try to approach the Chinese warships, while the Chinese army took advantage of the speed advantage of the four knots to gradually seize the southwest side of the Russian heading, preparing to seize the t-shaped head.

Behind the Russian warships, the lagging Navarrin was chasing forward at a speed of fifteen knots, while the first, second defense patrol formations and third torpedo teams of the Chinese army had arrived at their respective combat positions, pounced on them like bloodthirsty sharks.

In the west of the former Witgevt of Russia, there are several protective cruisers surviving the second Russian defense patrol team, preparing to launch lightning strikes on the Chinese army when necessary. On the east side of the Lintaizeng formation of the Chinese army, the fourth fish team is hidden.

On the south side of the Lin Taizeng cluster, fourteen nautical miles away from Lin Taizeng's flagship Haishuo, the last ship of the Russian Makarov formation, was rolling black smoke and was seriously damaged.

The Xu Fan formation in the southeast direction of the Makarov formation had already begun to turn right, slid into front of the Russian formation, and seized the t-head. Admiral Makarov, who witnessed this situation, did not turn and continued to maintain his course, ignoring that Xu Fan had already grabbed the t-head.

At 15,000 yards south of Xu Fan's formation, the Dongxiang formation fell into chaos due to sudden lightning strikes, airship torpedo attacks, and even the strange baptism of the 40-kilogram bombs of the Chinese seaplane, and was reorganizing the team. The Dongxiang ship Satsuma was hit by a torpedo. Although the damage was effective and the damage was not large, the speed still decreased by one knot. However, since the speed of this class of warships itself was as high as twenty knots, the speed of the formation could still be maintained at eighteen knots.

After the reorganization of the team, the Dongxiang formation rushed towards the Xu Fan formation from the southwest direction.

On the south of the Dongxiang formation, Xu Bo's rapid formation had quickly snatched up at a speed of 27 knots, taking advantage of the time when the Dongxiang formation was blocked.

The last ship of the Dongxiang formation, the Yashima, was already scarred and struggling.

Before the Sino-Japanese War, the British monarch-class modified iron armor ship ordered by Japan from the Wetworth Shipyard in Wellswick, England, was indeed outdated on this battlefield compared to the new Chinese warships. The ship's armor was still traditional steel-surfaced iron armor, and its protection was less than half of the Krupp's armor. After counting, it was equivalent to the protective power of the new armor patrol, and the speed, armor distribution and other aspects were much worse. The two double twelve-inch turrets in the front and back were very old. Facing the Baoding and Anyang chasing at high speed, the accurate and fierce firepower, the Yashima's counterattack seemed weak and more tragic. However, its sisters'>ship Fuji, and even the previous Kasuacea, also shot to the side and rear to block Xu Bo.

Under the fierce firepower of the Japanese warships, Baoding and Anyang had to change directions frequently and avoid them in a z-shaped route. Twenty minutes later, Yashima was hit by more than 20 large-caliber shells, gradually slowing down until they stalled. The Chinese army's high-speed formation flew past its side and carried violent shelling. Finally, the Chinese destroyers, the Heyu and Xiaoyu, were finally sent to the bottom of the sea with torpedoes. The 637 crew members and 47 survivors were captured by the Chinese army destroyers, including the Navy Navy Navy.

The artillery fire of the Xu Bo formation turned to the new tail ship of the Dongxiang formation, the sister of the Yashima ship Fuji.

Until now, the damage to Xu Bo formation was not large. The Madao light patrol was already behind, and there was no big problem with the Saber and the Saber. The four destroyers were basically intact. The Baoding had two grenades and two armor-piercing bombs, which were nearly missing. There were 400 tons of water inlets and a speed of one quarter decreased. One grenade in Anyang had nearly lost six bullets, and there were no serious damage.

In addition to this person making full use of the coquettish speed of the fast formation, as well as the two Baoding-class twelve-inch forty-five-diameter main guns and advanced sight-seeing and shooting system, there is also a secret magic weapon: paint.

During this battle, the Chinese army deliberately used another oblique striped anti-submarine coating that was more common in the navies of various countries during World War II. This pattern is extremely deceptive to human vision in the high-speed movement of warships, and can seriously affect the human eye's judgment of distance with the help of optical instruments. The Japanese warship's lookout hand observed the route data of the Chinese army through the rangefinder, and estimated that the relative positions of the explosion point and the Chinese warship were frequently inaccurate, resulting in huge errors in the data given. Based on this, the various elements were naturally different from 100,000 miles.

The Japanese army was still ignorant about this. In their opinion, compared with the Victorian paintings of our army imitating the British Navy, the Chinese paintings were a bit flashy.

Not a zebra, is it necessary?

Guangzhou number.

Li Tianlin looked solemn: "Is Makarov preparing to ignore our army's artillery blockade and meet with Dongxiang directly to the south... If he is willing to sacrifice one or two leading warships, it is indeed very likely to reach it. Once the distance continues to approach, our advantage in protection and long-range firepower will be weakened."

"Maybe he will turn left, run in the opposite direction with us, and quickly leave contact." Xu Fan narrowed his eyes, his face also had a little gloomy, "This veteran is indeed old and stingy. If we don't turn to the east ship battle with us... If he meets Dongxiang, the battle will be more variables. Without waiting, the whole team follows the flagship and turn left by sixteen guinea pig points."

Li Tianlin opened his mouth to say something, but immediately returned to peace and issued instructions calmly.

Above the tall and majestic pagoda bridge of the Guangzhou, the signal lights around the combat command bridge began to flash.

On the sea surface, Xu Fan's six steel warships began to turn. The flying scissor head split the waves, and the slender hull cut the water waves above the jasper, rippling layer by layer around. A counterclockwise trajectory walked through a U-shaped shape.

Almost at the same time, the Russian fleet, with Makarov's Duke Kutuzov, began to turn left and turn eastward to four prayer points.

The Xu Fan formation, which had turned a 180-degree turn, became the Makarov formation that chased the northeast from the west.

The two sides started another artillery battle.

Due to its speed advantage, the Chinese army quickly caught up with the Russian formation, and the dense artillery fire continued to baptize the Eagle at the end of the Russian battleship, and finally restored the ship-to-ship battle situation.

In a sense, this battle can be regarded as another enhanced version of the German shipbuilding idea after the summary of time and space, and a collision between the German classic shipbuilding idea in this time and space.

The Chinese army's armor-piercing bombs combine the experience of the Russian-Japanese war in Japan and the Jutland naval battle, especially the reference to Germany's delayed fuze and self-destruction prevention cylinder, and try to reflect it with the technical level of the Chinese Empire in this era. In terms of protection, China's shipbuilding elites, with the personal intervention of Xu Fan and Zheng Ying, drew on the protective structure of the famous Bismarck-class warship in Germany during World War II, and even drew on the lightning protection design of the Richelieu class in France, which can be regarded as a director of the many schools.

The comprehensive integrated bridge, box-shaped structure and multi-layer design of the Chinese army were derived from the Japanese Kyoto class and Yamato class in another time and space. The turret structure refers to the Iowa class and Yamato class, and the comprehensive fire control command system is set to refer to the German Ocean Fleet in Jutland.

This collision of sharp spears and strong shields made Xu Fan vaguely feel a mysterious tremor, as if something deep in the blood was calling him, burning more passion, making this battle a true classic.

Both sides are the pinnacle of human scientific and technological standards and industrial manufacturing technology in this era, and the officers and soldiers who operate the ship are also brave soldiers who have undergone rigorous training and have the strongest sense of honor and dedication.

Hundreds of tons of steel come and go to each other, causing a shocking explosion on the opposite side. In the fire and in the jungle of water columns, it reflects the highest wisdom of mankind, as well as the most admirable courage and unity.

War, the ultimate manifestation of all human virtues and bad roots, the greatest courage and the greatest cruelty, the highest wisdom and the deepest despicable, wonderfully integrated together, and the classics that come together must be passed down through the ages

Ignoring the flashes of the front deck, the team members who fought in the smoke and fire, Xu Fan's face was as cast as iron, holding the telescope in his hand, staring at the ship opposite Makarov.

This elite German warship suffered at least a dozen twelve-inch armor-piercing bombs and high-explosion bombs, but it was still persistent

No, the other party's limit is coming soon

Guangzhou has also been injured.

The armor-piercing bombs ordered by Russia from Germany were used by three German warships in Kutuzov class. These were loaded with TNT charges and sealed with ore slurry, and formed the armor-piercing bomb core with high-strength high-speed steel. The twelve-inch armor-piercing bombs with a soft steel hood roared out of the Krupp main gun and shot towards the Guangzhou with a bursting roar.

The high initial velocity, strong kinetic energy, high-intensity bullet body, and powerful thrust of the German main gun combined together to form the most terrifying artillery battle combination of this era.

Eight thousand digits.

Such close-range shooting will be a severe test for the protection of any battleship.

Intensive shooting from the Duke of Kutuzov and Baglation have opened several bullet holes in the upper starboard armor of the Guangzhou-class.

The Guangzhou-class is worthy of combining the experience of naval warfare among countries in another world war in time and space, and embodies the design essence of excellent warships of countries over the past thirty years. The multi-layer armor protection inside the hull, the 30-mm high-elastic armor of the watertight compartment, and the excellent overall structural design are all ingeniously conceived.

The armor-piercing bombs that penetrated into the critical compartment did not cause much damage to the explosion. The explosion of the shock waves and shrapnel did not cause much damage. The thick and swollen armor box of the Chinese army protected all key parts. Even at a distance of 8,000 yards, it was still not the German twelve-inch armored bombs used by the Russian army to penetrate.

After all, the level of German armor-piercing bombs is not as good as that of Jutland ten years later.

The well-trained members of the Huajun's damage management team wore gas masks and carried various damage management equipment. Under the unified dispatch of the damage management command center next to the engine room, they cleaned up dangerous situations in an orderly manner to maintain the long-term combat effectiveness of the warships.

The Guangzhou-level loss pipe system integrates the wisdom crystallization of the Chinese Navy's loss pipe system for more than 20 years, the division of loss pipe areas, the configuration of various loss pipe equipment, the loss pipe telephone and signal command system, and the well-trained loss pipe team ensures that although the Guangzhou was once concentrated attacked by three Kutuzov-class ships, it was not really seriously injured.

Admiral Makarov, the Russian army, was on the ship, Duke of Kutuzov.

The German-class battleship modified with a standard displacement of 13,200 tons was fully demonstrated in the rigorous and meticulous German shipbuilding industry during the stage before this naval battle, and also demonstrated the excellent survival ability of German-style warships.

Germany is worthy of being the pinnacle of human industrial civilization in this era.

In another time and space, relying on the world's top education system, the Germans' superior abstract thinking ability and rigorous and rigid nationality have developed a world-class heavy chemical industry science and technology system. In terms of metallurgy, the Germans' systematic creativity has been perfectly reflected.

Krupp armor, reinforced structural steel made by Germany's special craftsmanship, and high elastic homogeneous steel used in horizontal decks are the world's top alloy steel materials. As a rising star in the shipbuilding industry, the Germans also perfectly reflect their rigorous and meticulous attitude in the design of warships. Their shipbuilding ideas may not be compared with the British in terms of innovation and advancement, and temporarily cannot catch up with the Chinese Empire, which combined the essence of shipbuilding in other countries in time and space, but are very practical and reliable.
