At this moment, the New York, which was more and more brave, hit the hit again. The shell hit directly on the 8-inch armor belt in the middle of the hull of the King Kong. This time the angle was not good, and the shell exploded directly outside the armor plate, but the violent armor and the impact of the explosion still tore a large piece of armor plate from the hull, causing the back plate to crack at the rear of the armor plate! The shattered back plate penetrated the watertight compartment inside the hull like a shrapnel, and a large amount of sea water poured into the interior of the cabin from the torn armor belt.&1t;/p>

"Kingar, leave the battle line for the time being!" Lieutenant General Kato Dingyoshi sent a signal. Kingar gave him a feeling of taking jujube pills... He really didn't dare to let the warship continue to stay on the battle line.&1t;/p>

Of course, the current situation does not require King Kong. Nevada's combat effectiveness has been lost, and even if the Fusang is worth two, it is OK. What's more, he still remembers the above order in his head. If he really gets fired, don't hit him to death. If Nevada is really left here, Kato Tadakishi would be a little unable to bear the political consequences.&1t;/p>

After a brief hesitation, the King Kong estimated that the Fusang could handle the current situation by itself, so he temporarily released smoke and withdrew from the battle line. Then, the 6 15-inch heavy artillery of the Fusang began to tilt the angry flames towards the New York!&1t;/p>

Although there are some problems with the British shells, it is impossible to say that they do not penetrate deep, especially as a Niu Niu family heirloom, the 15-inch 142 cannon from World War I to the end of World War II is even more so! And this time, the Japanese tested in actual combat how big the depth of this cannon is!&1t;/p>

In the sixth round of shooting, Fusang successfully clamped the target. In the ninth round of shooting, Fusang achieved its first hit against New York! A 15-inch shell hit the armor belt of the upper artillery corridor of the New York. After easily tearing open about 7 inches of armor, the two 5-inch guns behind and the gun team were smashed into pieces!&1t;/p>

The second hit the shell hit the gun seat of the No. 2 turret of the New York battleship. As a non-iron turret warship, the defense of the New York is much worse than that of Nevada. The only 10-inch gun seat is not so reliable. Although it successfully blocked the bullet body, when the explosive inside the shell exploded, the violent explosion and impact still penetrated a large hole in the gun seat. A large number of debris and flames flew along the holes into pieces, blowing the internal conveyor device into pieces. Fortunately, it did not cause the ammunition to explode. Thick smoke and flames surged out from the thrust and even began to spread on the upper deck. A large number of US military personnel rushed up and fought against the raging fire demons.&1t;/p>

The third hit was also good. The shell hit the position below the chimney at the rear of the New York. Unlike the normal situation when hitting the vertical armor belt, this cannon hit the horizontal armor belt, while the horizontal armor of the New York battleship was only 2 inches... The sharp warhead of the shell easily tear opens the thin horizontal steel plate and then plunges into the ammunition compartment. Fortunately, the overly sensitive fuse detonated the shell in advance, but even so, the shell still tore a hole of several square meters in the main horizontal armor!&1t;/p>

A huge fireball exploded in the upper part of the power compartment, and surging flames fell from the sky. The powerful shock wave swept half of the boiler compartment with a large amount of debris! Four boilers were instantly destroyed, and a large amount of high-risk high-pressure water vapor spread out from the cabin, and balls of black and white smoke screens rose from the middle of the hull. The power output of the entire warship instantly decreased by a level. The fire caused was still thinking about spreading around.&1t;/p>

"Kill the New York! Fuso will become the first Japanese battleship to sink into fearless!" Unlike the situation where he could not kill Nevada, facing the New York, Fuso's 15-inch cannon was quite lethal. The morale of the Japanese naval officers and soldiers was once again raised to the extreme. They shouted to kill the American fleet in front of them, imagining the grand occasion of their victory and returning to Korea without considering that if there was a real war between the United States and Japan, it would be such a terrible thing!&1t;/p>

However, the New York City was not without a loss. A 14-inch shell hit the No. 4 turret of Fusang. After bounced high, it landed on the barrel on the left side of the turret, directly cutting off the thick 15-inch 142 barrel. This can also cause some trouble to this "Japanese No. 1 Battleship". It does not mean that it is a loss of face.&1t;/p>

"Or, forget it." Looking at the Nevada, which was already covered in smoke and flames, and the hull was also tilted, and the New York, which was beaten to pieces, Lieutenant General Kato Tatsukishi had already planned to retreat. When the gunner reported that the number of armor-piercing shells per battleship was less than 20, Tatsukishi Kato finally decided to retreat.&1t;/p>

He had calmed down and realized that his actions were a bit hasty. For example, if the US fleet was really deliberately attacking the Japanese fleet, then why didn't Nevada and New York take action after the submarine attack was successful? Another problem is that before the Akashi was destroyed, there was no torpedo trajectory. Although it was normal for the torpedo trajectory not to be discovered due to the interference of the horizon or sea surface, judging from the position of the US submarine, the probability of the other party successfully attacking the Akashi was not high. After all, the two sides were a bit far apart, about 35oo meters, and the submarine hit a cruiser with 35oo meters? This probability is really not high......&1t;/p>

"What if I get it wrong..." A terrible guess suddenly appeared in Kato Tachiyo's heart, which made him tremble for a moment. This is not a fight between the children next door. More than half an hour has passed, and the other side has conservatively calculated the death and injury to have exceeded three digits. If Japan beat the Americans for no reason, how will this end...&1t;/p>

Although I thought of this possibility, Tadaki Kato still couldn't imagine that the explosion of the warship was the cause of the Japanese Navy itself. Now it was in combat navigation, and the ammunition depot was the top priority. Human factors have almost been eliminated. Then you tell me, this warship exploded by itself? Because the radiating of the ammunition depot was blown up by itself? Is this tm too silly? If it was spread, the Japanese Navy wouldn't be laughed at? Just based on this "war record", what else can you call the third in the world?&1t;/p>

Kato Tadakichi was extremely entangled. His actions seemed to have caused a big disaster. He could control his own control. So what should I do now? This Japanese general was a little unsure, but at least he knew that it really didn't work, so he stopped first!&1t;/p>
