Chapter 2775 Counterattack 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-level may be removed from the battlefield earlier than the American iron turtle." Yamaguchi Takamori took a deep breath, as if he was determined, a decision that might allow the Japanese Navy to gain an advantage quickly, and at the same time it might also allow the Japanese Navy to face unknown risks!

"Temporarily give up the attack on New Mexico and concentrate all firepower on the warship behind! Pay attention to coordination with Nagato and do not let the water columns exploded from the two rounds of shells mix together!" Yamaguchi Takamori ordered.

Two minutes later, the 10 15-inch gun of the battleship Tosa fired again, and this time, they targeted the US fleet's flagship Colorado. The Colorado, which was suddenly attacked by two battleships, suddenly felt extremely stressed!

"Damn it? What's the situation?" An officer of the Colorado looked at the sudden increase in water around the warship and couldn't help but cursed. After a brief chaos, the firepower of the two Japanese battleships was coordinated very well. Nagamon and Tosa alternately tilted a huge amount of ammunition towards the target, and almost every 20 seconds a round of shells would fall near Colorado! And after a successful cross-fire, it was only a matter of time to hit it!

"We were hit!" The dazzling flames in the front of the battleship were all reflected in Sims' retina, and the bright yellow flames even made people feel a little dazzling. The battleship trembled slightly under this blow, and countless pieces splashed from the side of the hit ship. The upper deck, which was almost unprotected, was chewed out of a gap by a heavy shell, and the rolling smoke and flames began to spread in the cabin. A large number of damage-guarded team members ran over from all directions with fire extinguishing equipment, and at this moment, another heavy shell landed in almost the same position with the breath of destruction!

Boom! This attack was even more serious than before! The shell successfully penetrated two decks and then hit the main horizontal armor of Colorado. The violent impact caused severe distortion of the thick horizontal armor. The rivets originally used to fix the armor plate were collapsed, and the large armor plate fell off, and the back plate behind the armor plate was also shattered. With the ignition of the shell fuse, a ton of shells exploded inside the Colorado, and tons of debris covered the area of ​​nearly 20 meters around.

The scattered cabins and inside were covered with metal storms formed by flames and debris, including those close to the damage tubes. This blow caused the Colorado to lose at least 50 people! Survivors struggled to escape from this hell of blood and fire. They crawled on the ground, struggling to move forward in the scorching smoke and flames. Blood flowed across the deck, and most of them never stood up again.

However, in the face of the two battleships, the Colorado also showed great resilience and was worthy of being the most advanced warship in the US Navy. Although from the most basic data, the gap with Tennessee before was not large, the Americans still made many improvements in many details. For example, the layout of large compartments and thick sub-walls on the ship surface. This thick sub-wall successfully limits the damage range after being shot. Otherwise, the damage range of the shot from Nagamon just now would be greater. For example, twice as much power as Tennessee also makes the internal damage pipe of the Colorado seem at ease.

After being hit hard twice in a row, Colorado also regained its color. A 16-inch shell accurately hit Nagamon's No. 2 turret, blowing one of the 16-inch cannons into two pieces. A fire was lit on the deck. The burning flames affected Nagamon's fire control observations, causing Nagamon to plummet in the next few minutes.

"It won't work like this. The Colorado can't last long. It's the most wrong decision for us to put New Mexico ahead of us. He can't share our pressure. The enemy on the opposite side has realized the bad situation of New Mexico. They concentrate all their firepower on us!" Majiphin said, looking at the New Mexico ahead with some irritation, which kept shooting but failed to hit.

"There may be some problems with the fire control system of the New Mexico. Give them a signal and try to use aviation correction to correct the ballistics. Tell me, and tell Bailey, just say that if he cannot make the warships on the opposite side feel threatened within five minutes, the situation of Colorado will be difficult!" In addition to command, Sims is also an artillery expert. Although the rangefinder has a higher correction than a seaplane, if the former fails, the latter is the only reliable way to aim.

In this 1V2 match, Colorado insisted on it. Yamaguchi Takamori's fire-raising tactic did not achieve the expected results. However, just a few minutes later, the first twists and turns in this naval battle finally occurred!

"Close bombs, the distance increases by 10 meter!"

"Very good, hold the target again, and the artillery switches from half volley to full volley!"

Accompanied by the fire controller's order, Mecklenburg started a full-scattered shot again. The previous efforts of King Kong to dodge through a small range maneuver were lost again. In the previous battle, although King Kong was beaten badly, he was lucky and did not hurt too many important facilities. But this time, King Kong's luck ended!

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

So, everything was so natural. The 875-kilogram shell successfully opened a bullet hole with a diameter of nearly 1 meter on the mount of the King Kong. Then, the shell hit the ammunition elevator inside the mount. With the excitation of the bullet bottom fuse, tons of shells and spray packs were ignited! The violent explosion seemed to turn the entire No. 3 turret into a volcano! The violent explosion even shocked hundreds of tons of turrets from the mount. Like a volcano spray, a fire dragon rushed from the gap between the artillery and the cannon. The violent explosion continued to come from the mount, and the orange flame even covered one-third of the hull!
