Chapter 2782 Cut-In 2
The single-mounted 120MM gun on the bow of the ship was hit by at least three shells in succession before it fired a few shells. The gun barrel, which weighed more than 2 tons, was directly blown into several sections, and the gun mantlet and servo were reduced to a pile. Metal fragments, among tons of metal fragments, were dots of black and red blood and minced flesh.
The terrifying steel storm baptized the Qiuyue from beginning to end. The violent attack submerged the battleship, and after a few minutes, it turned into a hulk floating on the sea.
The second one was the destroyer Tatōkaze. It struggled to resist the opponent's attack and fired a torpedo to stop the opponent's advance. The two sides fought from 3,500 meters to as close as 800 meters. The Americans were outnumbered, and the Japanese The people resisted tenaciously, and in the end, the Taito Wind and an American destroyer perished together. Both sides died from torpedoes launched by the other side. With two groups of water columns rising almost at the same time, the two destroyers were sunk!
"All firepower to intercept the opponent's destroyer! The fleet mainly keeps a distance and prepares to evade!" The Japanese responded really quickly. More than 200 medium-caliber or above artillery on 12 battleships were aimed at the sea not far away. All battleships Choose your own target, and in an instant, a halo like a volcanic eruption envelopes the entire fleet, and the Japanese fleet once again unleashes their terrifying firepower!
Therefore, the Japanese once again used facts to tell everyone that in a fundamentalist battle line battle, groups of battleships are not afraid of any unit except their equal opponents!
boom! As dense rain of bullets fell on the sea, curtains of water columns covered the path forward of the American destroyers. At this moment, they were as helpless as fishing boats struggling in the violent storm. Under the unpredictable fate, they Struggle, they struggle, but these actions will not hinder the arrival of death in any way! In less than 2 minutes, three huge explosions were heard from the attacking US destroyer column! Thousands of tons of destroyers were destroyed and abandoned like expendables. The Japanese fleet's timely counterattack seemed to have blocked the American assault!
"Has the attack target been selected?" Reidel asked.
"It's very bad. Our intended target was blocked by the water curtain and smoke caused by the shell. Only the target in the east seemed easier to confirm." An officer said.
"Damn, let's take that target to the east! Yes, that's it! Rush out! Kill him!" Reidel said anxiously. It is said that the more complex the plan, the more likely it is that problems will arise, and in this battle, problems did occur. The target that Redel wanted to destroy quickly was blocked, so he could only aim the muzzle at those hard-to-gnaw bones!
"I hope Sims can follow immediately." Redel prayed silently in his heart. "Attack! Kill them!" Following Redel's order, the battleship Mecklenburg rushed out of the smoke at almost its highest combat speed. It waved its weapons toward the distant mountains like the Titans in myths and legends. The old enemy issued a challenge! The target of the Mecklenburg is the Tosa, a Fuso-class battleship. This guy is a bit tough and may be difficult to kill in a short period of time.
Behind Redl, Fletcher Jr.'s two armored cruisers aimed at the Fuso-class battleship Takami in front of the Tosa. As the distance quickly shortened, the three battleships tilted their ammunition crazily towards the two Japanese battleships. !
"Damn it, where did the battleship come out?" The Tosa, which had just focused its artillery fire on the destroyer, was knocked unconscious for the first time. The distance between the two sides was already very close, so close that all the main guns could be used on the top of the turret. The rangefinder is here to lock the target! The performance of the German fleet was as excellent as ever. In just a few minutes,
Even though the speed and angle changes were not ideal, Redel still scored a hit, and the combat distance between the two sides was shortened to about 11,000 meters! This distance can be considered a close combat!
A dazzling flame burst out on the side string of the Tosa. At this distance, the Fuso-class's proud armor finally collapsed under the attack of the German 15-inch artillery shells! The shell hit the middle of the hull, punching through the Fuso's thick sloped armor, leaving a huge bullet hole in the hull.
Subsequently, the shell, which was on the verge of disintegration, went all the way down, penetrated one deck and exploded outside the Tosa's power cabin. The shock wave generated by the explosion directly shattered the partitions of the power cabin into pieces, and fragments weighing several tons were An indiscriminate covering attack was carried out against the burning boiler and the hundreds of personnel inside. A series of explosions and flashes of light came from inside the Tosa. This blow was so fierce that it directly took away nearly one-third of the Tosa's power source!
However, this was not over yet. The Mecklenburg once again waved its long sword and struck hard under the No. 3 turret of the Tosa. The 320MM thick gun mount armor also did not block this fierce blow. The arc-shaped armor was cut open as easily as butter. Then, as the fuse was ignited, the entire dressing room turned into a sea of flames. A fire dragon spurted out from the connection of No. 3 turret, as small as popping beans. Explosions came one after another. Thick smoke and flames began to spread uncontrollably inside the hull. The Tosa, which was hit hard twice at close range, was already showing signs of decline!
The two armored cruisers of Fletcher Jr. also tilted towards the distant Gaobo with rain of bullets. However, unlike the bloody attack of the Mecklenburg, even at such a close distance, the 10-inch artillery damage The power is still hard to look at! Explosions and vibrations continued to come from the hull of the Gaobo. However, the thick armor of this battleship easily bounced off the armor-piercing bullets fired by Fletcher's fleet. Even because the ammunition had too little charge, even the arson effect was ineffective. Not so good, the Gaobo was like a heavily armored knight charging in the rain of arrows. Countless arrow clusters were easily deflected by the plate armor, and then the knight knocked the fragile enemy to the ground with one blow!
"Damn it!" Little Fletcher looked at the scene behind him, and a few drops of cold sweat fell from his head. Just a few seconds ago, the Baltimore was shot! A 15-inch shell from the USS Gaobo hit the No. 2 turret of the USS Baltimore! Without any surprise, this 15-inch armor-piercing bullet easily penetrated the 10-inch armor on the front of the Baltimore's turret like a hot knife cutting through butter, and then slammed into the ammunition rack at the rear of the turret. The violent explosion directly destroyed hundreds of tons of turrets, and the impact caused by the explosion of ammunition also severely damaged the No. 1 turret of 1,000 meters. Therefore, less than 3 minutes after the Baltimore opened fire, the Baltimore was disabled. Lost half of its firepower! Although the fire door blocked the fire dragon leading to the ammunition depot, the fire still spread on the ship.
