Chapter 35 Cannon
The "fire" shore defense 406mm giant cannon muzzles were high. At this time, the Japanese naval warships had already lined up on the sea surface of the northern part of Liandao to suppress the island's fortress. Except for a few large artillery with strong defense measures, the turrets suffered heavy losses. At this time, the giant cannon with a range of twenty miles also began to speak.
"Bang" the huge gun body shot out the shells, and the entire gun body shook violently, including the huge cannon trembling, and the huge shells disappeared into the air in an instant.
"Baga! The Chinese people's fortress is really strong... On the sea, looking at the dusty and artillery fire, Kazuko Koga has to admire the Chinese people's strong turrets built by the Chinese. Facing so many large-caliber artillery and suppression of two battleships, the remaining five large-scale shore defense artillery fortifications were safe and sound. Every time the Japanese army's artillery was completed, they could fight back immediately.
"Jiu" was about to avoid again and then shoot, and suddenly heard a sharp sound of breaking through the air and looked towards the west sky.
"Baga" saw a huge shell breaking through the air, with an overwhelming momentum, as if the target was the Inland River. For a moment, Koga Ichiko méng!
"Swoosh..."
"Bagahu" Kazuko Kazuki was relieved until the shell flew over its head, but his face immediately changed. The shell passed over the Inner River, so the target that it fell might be the battlecruiser of the Okama.
"Boom" As expected, only a moment of thinking, a huge explosion came from his side. When Koga Ichimon turned around and looked over, he saw a shell smashing on the main gun armor in front of the Sadmama like a helper, and instantly penetrated the armor, and then exploded with a bang!
"Baga! It's over" The most deadly thing about the warship is the ammunition depot, which is just under the turret. In this era, the Japanese warship has not been converted into a sealed ammunition depot, so this explosion will definitely cause a death-destruction.
"Boom Boom" After the giant cannon shell exploded, the Male made another deafening explosion. The penetration of the front main gun armor and the explosion of the shell directly caused the ammunition depot to explode. For a moment, the explosion of the huge ammunition directly lifted the cannon seat on the top, and a turret flew directly to a 3,000-ton destroyer on the side, as if an adult swept down a child. The small destroyer was instantly smashed down, and its power was even more terrifying than the shelling. The entire destroyer's hull was crushed by huge pressure in an instant.
"Good fight!" Zhu Feng was suppressed by these two warships. At this time, a heavy artillery shell that was like a helper of gods actually sank the opponent's warship with one blow. How could he not let it move?
"Fire the gun" Taking advantage of the Japanese army's panic, the five remaining turrets immediately started to operate and aimed at the Inner River, which was hiding from fear.
"Baga! Why didn't the Imperial Intelligence Department provide this information?" Kazuki Ichimoto cried without tears. The Okama was the main warship, and he died here just like that. Moreover, the 400-mm main gun is a threat to any warship, because even the current battleship has a maximum armor thickness of 356mm, and most warships' defensive armor can't defend against such large-caliber powerful cannons at all at around 100-180.
"Boom Boom Boom" Just as the Inner River was terrified and hesitant, five artillery guns on the coast of the northern island opened fire on all of them.
"Boom..." Before the Inner River could react, it was hit by three shells, one 356
The shells happened to hit the front main gun, which instantly bent the main gun. The front deck and secondary gun were also hit by two 305 shells, and twenty or thirty sailors were killed in the artillery fire.
"Order the fleet to retreat beyond the shore defense cannons of the Chinese people! Immediately generate electricity to the military headquarters to explain the situation..." The matter cannot be done. The shore defense work of the Iron Blood Army is too strong and too strong. What made the Japanese fleet most afraid of was that the 406mm shore defense cannons had the same shore defense cannons. There were also 〖Japanese Wugang Fortress, so they naturally knew how terrifying its power was.
While the first fleet in Japan was retreating, the second fleet led by the battleship of the USS King Kong battleship, the USS Tsubo, had also arrived at the estuary of the Yangtze River, but they were at a loss now because there were a large number of torpedoes in front.
"Boom" a destroyer accidentally touched the torpedo placed in the water, and instantly exploded and caught fire and sank, causing the entire Japanese fleet to send all destroyers to clear the mines.
"Fire the gun" but a large number of shore defense guns built on Chongming Island and Changxing Island began to speak at this time.
"Baga avoided" the nine destroyers suddenly heard the sound of shelling while detecting thunder. They immediately became clever. It was unknown whether it was the sound of the "China shore defense guns".
However, they were in the torpedo range, but they could only dodge carefully. Groups of shells directly hit three destroyers. Except for one who was seriously injured and staggering back to the fleet, the other two caught fire and burned.
"Baga! The Chinese people's firepower is very strong! We are very passive!" Looking at the scene on the sea, Iwasaki's mind was calm. Obviously, China was prepared. From the sound of gunfire in China, he knew that the security power of the Chinese people was not weak, and coupled with the barrier of mines, it was likely to bring them a disaster.
However, even so, the Japanese fleet still insisted on clearing out the mines in front of it until the only sea areas seen in Chongming Island and Changxing Island stopped and attacked the shore defense artillery positions on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
"Boom" the flames were all reflected, and artillery fire was spread all over the sky. Under the leadership of the King Kong and the Chubo, all the Japanese warships poured out ammunition and the positions on both sides of the straits, and the positions on both sides of the straits were immediately trapped in a sea of fire.
"Fire the gun" However, with its strong fortifications, the shore defense position is not afraid. At the same time, the artillery in the rear is also waiting for the enemy warships to enter the range. More than a dozen hot air balloons are paying attention to the dynamics at sea at any time. The 406mm cannon in the middle of Chongming Island is also slowly operating. Now the Japanese warships have entered their range.
"Proofread the corpses and prepare to fire!" The huge shell was installed into the cannon chamber, and the huge muzzle slowly turned southeast, where the Japanese fleet was located.
"Boom" on Changxing Island, the artillery of Japanese warships completely covered the island, and for a moment, smoke and dust covered the sky. All the shore defense soldiers were covered with smoke on their faces, carrying ammunition with artillery fire, or aiming according to the guidance of hot air balloons.
"Bang" The cannon ejected from the cavity, and the cannon shell was pulled out from the rear, with super high heat and blue smoke.
The "Boom" naval guns are also firing. Although several large-caliber shells hit the King Kong, the artillery of this caliber cannot cause it to be severely damaged or sunk.
"boom……"
"Ah" with a loud bang and a scream, the two shore defense fortifications were hit by large-caliber artillery, and all the personnel and weapons in the fortifications were injured and killed.
The "strike" of many shore defense artillery did not stop the artillery attack because of this.
"Reload"
"aim……"
"shooting……"
After repeated training, the shore defense soldiers were very calm at this time. Even when they saw the fortifications around them jumping, they still insisted on their work. The shore defense artillery has not stopped and responded to the attack of the Japanese warships in a rumbling manner.
In the fierce artillery battle, the artillery that did not have the upper hand in firepower was constantly bombarded, and gradually several fortifications were destroyed. Although the framework of the steel and cement structure was very strong in theory, it only exists in theory. The road is one foot higher than the demon is one foot higher. There will always be the strongest attack, but no strongest defense.
"The debugging of the yuan has been completed, and the target "Japan" King Kong battle cruiser, requests to fire!" Inland Chongming Island, the huge artillery has adjusted its shooting angle, and the ammunition has been loaded into the cannon chamber under the efforts of three soldiers.
The commander of the 406mm shore defense artillery "fire" immediately issued an order.
"Boom" violently vibrated. When a man's long cannon shell opened the rear cabin, it immediately fell down on itself, making a collision sound on the ground, and the warhead flew towards the distance.
"Baga! Fire the cannon" The King Kong was still fighting against the shore defense cannon, and he didn't know that a shell was flying towards him in the distance.
"boom……"
"Baga! What's going on?" Iwasaki master who was commanding the shelling suddenly felt the warship trembling violently. This shouldn't have happened. Although the fire of the shore defense guns on the opposite side was not weak, they could not pose too much threat to the King Kong, which is a dreadnought. Of course, as long as the engine wheels are not concentrated.
"Major General, we were attacked by shore defense artillery, and the rear armor was seriously damaged..." After a while, an officer came to Iwasaki Tatsuto.
"Baga? Giant Cannon?" Iwasaki Master slapped the Japanese officer in the face and asked angrily.
"Hay! Your Excellency, it's a giant cannon! A giant cannon with a caliber of more than 356mm! The rear armor is seriously damaged, and we need to evacuate the battlefield." The officer knew what the destruction of the rear armor means! It means that the combat capability of the King Kong has been greatly reduced. Before, it was not afraid of these shore defense artillery, but now it is not possible. The rear armor has been destroyed by shells, and its defense ability has been greatly reduced. If it continues, the King Kong may be destroyed.
"Baga! Withdraw from the battle! Withdraw from the range of Chinese artillery firing!" Like Lianyungang, the shore defense cannons once again played their huge deterrent role. No warship dared to continue fighting with groups of shore defense cannons and giant cannons that could sink their shore defense cannons to continue fighting.
"Baga!" The two telegrams of Ijiyuan Goro were furious, but they could do nothing! They did not expect that Dunson would equip such giant cannons that threaten the warships, which made their shelling of the port impossible.
"Change the strategy immediately and block all ports of the Jiangsu and Anhui government! I just see that he is blocked and still refuses to surrender!" In the end, the Japanese cabinet could only cancel the shelling and instead carry out maritime blockades. In all capitalist countries, if the coast is blocked, it is equivalent to being pinched to the artery.
"Prime Minister! Beiyang has called back." Just as the letter of re-issuance of the letter issued a blockade order, Beiyang's call back arrived.
