Chapter 2775 Confrontation 1

"This is a bold and dangerous idea." said the officer on the side.

"But the fastest way to break the deadlock is that our King Kong class may be eliminated from the battlefield earlier than the Americans' Iron Turtle." Yamaguchi Takamori took a deep breath and seemed to be making up his mind. A solution that may allow the Japanese Navy to quickly The decision to gain an advantage may also expose the Japanese Navy to unknown risks!

"Temporarily give up the attack on the New Mexico and concentrate all firepower on the next battleship! Pay attention to coordination with the Nagato and don't let the water columns exploded by the two rounds of shells mix together!" Yamaguchi Takamori ordered.

Two minutes later, the 10 15-inch guns of the battleship Tosa fired again, and this time, they aimed at the USS Colorado, the flagship of the U.S. fleet. The Colorado, which was suddenly attacked by two battleships, suddenly felt tremendous pressure!

"Damn it? What's going on?" An officer of the Colorado couldn't help but cursed as he looked at the sudden increase in water columns around the battleship. After a brief period of confusion, the firepower coordination of the two Japanese battleships was handled very well. The Nagato and The Tosa alternately tilted a huge amount of ammunition towards the target, and almost every 20 seconds a round of shells would fall near the Colorado! And after successfully forming a cross-shot, it is only a matter of time before it hits!

"We've been hit!" The dazzling firelight from the front of the battleship reflected in Sims's retinas, and the bright yellow flames even made people feel a little dazzling. The battleship trembled slightly under the blow, and countless fragments flew from the side of the hit ship. The barely protected upper deck was gnawed out by a heavy shell, and billowing smoke and flames began to fill the cabin. spread. A large number of damage control team members came from all directions with fire-extinguishing equipment, and at this moment, another heavy artillery shell landed at almost the same location with a breath of destruction!

boom! This blow was even more serious than before! This shell successfully penetrated two decks and then hit the main horizontal armor of the Colorado. The violent impact caused the thick horizontal armor to be severely distorted. The rivets originally used to fix the armor plate were blown away, and the large A piece of armor plate fell off, and the back plate behind the armor plate was also shattered. As the shell fuse was ignited, a shell weighing more than one ton exploded inside the Colorado, and tons of debris covered an area of ​​nearly 20 meters around it. .

Scattered cabins and the people inside were covered by the metal storm formed by flames and debris. Including the approaching damage control personnel, this blow caused the Colorado to lose at least 50 people! The survivors struggled to escape from this hell of blood and fire. They crawled on the ground and struggled to move forward in the toxic smoke and flames. Blood flowed across the deck. Most of them never stood up again. .

However, in the face of the attack from two battleships, the Colorado also showed full resilience. It is worthy of being the most advanced battleship in the U.S. Navy. Although from the most basic data, it is not much different from the previous Tennessee, but the U.S.S. There are still a lot of improvements in many details. For example, the ship adopts a layout of large compartments and thick partitions. This thicker partition successfully limits the scope of damage after being shot. Otherwise, the damage range of the shot from the Nagato would have been even greater. For example, there is twice as much power as the Tennessee, which also makes the Colorado's internal damage control more capable.

After being hit hard by two consecutive punches, the Colorado retaliated. A 16-inch shell accurately hit the No. 2 turret of the Nagato, blowing one of the 16-inch guns into two pieces. And a fire was lit on the deck. The blazing flames affected the Nagato's fire control observation, causing the Nagato's hit rate to plummet in the next few minutes.

"This can't go on like this.

The Colorado couldn't hold out for long. It was the worst decision for us to put the New Mexico ahead of us. It couldn't share our pressure. The enemy on the opposite side had already realized the New Mexico's bad situation, and they focused all their firepower on us. On your body! "Magiffin said impatiently as he looked at the New Mexico, which kept shooting in front but failed to score a hit.

"There may be some problems with the New Mexico's fire control system. Send them a signal and ask them to try to use aviation correction to correct the trajectory. Tell me Bailey. He said that if within five minutes, he can't let the opposite warship If you feel threatened, the Colorado will be in a difficult situation!" In addition to command, Sims is also a gunnery expert. Although the rangefinder is more accurate than the seaplane, if the former fails, , then the latter is the only reliable way to aim.

In this 1V2 duel, the Colorado struggled to hold on. Yamaguchi Takamori's concentrated fire tactics did not achieve the expected results. However, just a few minutes later, the first twist in this naval battle finally appeared!

"Close shot, the distance increases by 100 meters!"

"Very good, clamp the target again, and the artillery will switch from half salvo to full salvo!"

Following the fire control officer's order, the Mecklenburg once again started firing at full speed. The previous efforts of the King Kong to dodge through small-scale maneuvers were once again in vain. In the previous battle, although the King Kong was beaten It was miserable, but luckily, not too many important facilities were damaged. But this time, the King Kong's luck has come to an end!

One minute after clamping the target in the first round! With the roar of the eight main guns again, three shells flew in the air for dozens of seconds before landing on the poor King Kong! This blow directly killed the battleship! Two shells hit the gun mount part of the No. 3 turret at the stern and the generator room next to it respectively. The King Kong strengthened the dome armor, but the gun mount armor was still a fragile 8-inch armor!

So, everything went so logically. The 875-kilogram shell successfully opened a bullet hole with a diameter of nearly 1 meter in the gun base of the King Kong! Subsequently, the shell hit the ammunition elevator inside the gun mount. As the fuse at the bottom of the shell was activated, tons of shells and propellant packs were ignited! The violent explosion seemed to turn the entire No. 3 turret into a volcano! The violent explosion even shook the several-hundred-ton turret out of the turret. Like a volcanic eruption, a fire dragon surged up from the gap between the artillery and the turret. Violent explosions continued to come from the King Kong, and the orange fire even covered one-third of the hull!
