2782 Cut in 2
The single-mounted 120mm cannon on the bow was hit by at least three shells in a row before it even fired a few shells. The barrel weighing more than 2 tons was directly blown into several sections, and the gun shield and servo were even reduced to a pile of metal fragments. Between tons of metal fragments, there were spots of black and red blood and minced meat.
The terrifying steel storm baptized Qiuyue from beginning to end, and the violent attack drowned the warship. After a few minutes, it turned into a waste ship floating on the sea.
The second one is the Taidaofeng destroyer. He 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 the nearest 800 meters. The Americans were numerous and the Japanese resisted tenaciously. In the end, the Taidaofeng and a US destroyer died together. Both sides died from the torpedo launched by the other side. Accompanied by the two regiments of water columns that rose almost at the same time, the two destroyers were sunk!
"All firepower intercepts the opponent's destroyers! The fleet mainly keeps a distance and is ready to avoid it!" The Japanese reacted very quickly. More than 200 medium-caliber artillery on the 12 battleships aimed at the sea not far away. All warships each chose their own targets. In an instant, a halo like a volcano erupted wrapped the entire fleet, and the Japanese fleet once again fired their terrifying firepower!
So, the Japanese once again told everyone with facts that in the battle line of fundamentalism, the battleships that were surrounded by groups were not afraid of any unit except their equal opponents!
Boom! With the dense rain of bullets falling on the sea, the curtains formed by water columns covered the way for the American destroyers to advance. At this moment, they were as helpless as fishing boats struggling in the storm. Under the impermanent fate, they struggled and struggled, but these actions would not hinder the arrival of death at all! In less than 2 minutes, three huge explosions were heard in the attacking American destroyer fleet! Thousands of tons of destroyers were destroyed and abandoned like consumables. The timely counterattack of the Japanese fleet seemed to block the Americans' assault!
"Have you selected the target of attack?" Redell asked.
"Very bad, our planned target was blocked by the water curtain and smoke from the shells. Only the targets in the east seemed easier to confirm," said an officer.
"Damn it, then that target on the east side! Yes, it's it! Blast out! Kill him!" Redel said anxiously. As the saying goes, the more complex the plan, the more likely it is to have problems. In this battle, problems did occur. The target that Redel wanted to destroy quickly was blocked, so he could only aim his muzzle at those hard-to-knitting hard bones!
"I hope Sims can keep up immediately." Redel prayed silently. "Strike! Kill them!" With Redel's order, the Mecklenburg battleship rushed out of the smoke at almost the highest speed. It waved its weapons like the mythical and legendary Titan gods and challenged its old enemies in the distance! The Mecklenburg's target is a Fuso-class battleship Tosa. This guy is a bit hard and may be difficult to kill in a short period of time.
Behind Redell, two armored cruisers of Fletcher were aimed at the Fuso-class battleship Gaobo in front of the Tosa. With the rapid closer distance, the three battleships tilted their ammunition frantically towards the two Japanese battleships!
"Damn it, where did the warships jump out?" The Tosa, who had just concentrated the artillery fire on the destroyer, was knocked a little dizzy at the first time. The distance between the two sides was very close, so close that all main guns could use the rangefinder on the top of the turret 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, Raidel still scored a hit, and the combat distance between the two sides was narrowed to about 11,000 meters! This distance can be considered a close-fitting fight!
A dazzling flame cracked out on the side string of the Tosa. At this distance, the proud armor of the Fuso class finally collapsed under the attack of the German 15-inch shell! The shell hit the middle of the hull, breaking through the heavy inclined armor of the Fuso, leaving a huge bullet hole on the hull.
Then, the shell, which was on the verge of disintegration, penetrated a deck and exploded outside the power cabin of Tosa. The shock wave generated by the explosion directly shattered the next door of the power cabin. Tons of debris carried out an indiscriminate coverage attack on the burning boiler and hundreds of people. A series of explosions and flashes came from the inside of Tosa. This attack was extremely fierce, and it directly removed nearly one-third of the power source of Tosa!
However, this is not over. Mecklenburg once again waved its long sword in its hand and came fiercely under the No. 3 turret of Tosa. The 320mm thick cannon armor also did not block this fierce attack. The arc-shaped armor was easily cut open like butter. Then, with the ignition of the fuse, the entire dressing room turned into a sea of fire. A fire dragon gushed out from the connection of the No. 3 turret, and small-scale explosions like a burst of beans were heard one after another. Thick smoke and flames began to spread inside the hull uncontrollably. The Tosa, which was hit twice in a row at close range, had already shown signs of decline!
The two armored cruisers of Little Fletcher also tilted the bullets toward the Gaobo in the distance. However, unlike the Mecklenburg attack, even at such a close distance, the lethality of the 10-inch cannon is still unaware of it! Explosions and vibrations are constantly coming from the hull of the Gaobo, but the heavy armor of this warship easily bounced off the armor-piercing bombs fired by the Xiaobo fleet. Even because of too little ammunition, the effect of setting fire was not good. The Gaobo was like a heavy knight charging in the rain of arrows. Countless clusters of arrows were easily bounced away by plate armor, and then the knight then 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, Baltimore was shot! A 15-inch shell from the Gaobo hit the Baltimore turret No. 2! Without any accident, the 15-inch armor-piercing projectile easily penetrated the 10-inch armor on the front of the Baltimore turret like a hot knife cutting butter, and then hit the ammunition rack at the back of the turret. The violent explosion directly destroyed the hundreds of tons of turret, and the impact force generated by the ammunition explosion also severely damaged the No. 1 turret 1, which was 1, a thousand meters, so less than 3 minutes after the Baltimore fired, half of the firepower was destroyed! Although the fire door blocked the fire dragon leading to the ammunition depot, the fire still spread on the surface of the ship.
