Rebirth without Regrets

Chapter 642 Naval Battle (2)

Although the confrontation had lasted for so long, Qin Zhonglin did not expect that the little devil would dare to risk the disapproval of the world and start a war with Feiyuan Company. However, after hearing the rumbling sound of the cannons and seeing the "fireworks" flying everywhere, he did not think at all.

Instead of being timid and nervous, an inexplicable excitement arose in his heart. It was as if his whole life was dedicated to this destined battle.

"Order all ships to maintain battle formation and speed up. No firing is allowed without my order." Qin Zhonglin ordered loudly.

Almost everyone in the sun-shooting fleet couldn't understand why the Japs' cannonballs hit their heads, and Qin Zhonglin ordered not to fire. However, the orders were overwhelming, and no one dared to disobey them. So the fleet risked the entire fleet.

A hail of artillery fire quickly moved towards the opponent.

At this time, the Japanese fleet fired another salvo of fire, and the overwhelming cannonballs stirred up countless huge water columns, and once again exploded countless mushroom clouds on the Japanese-shooting fleet warships. As the distance between the two fleets continued to shrink, the bombardment

The accuracy has also improved a lot. Each battleship suffered varying degrees of losses, and personnel also suffered casualties. However, the fleet always followed Qin Zhonglin's orders and just sailed towards the Japanese fleet at high speed without opening fire.

Seeing that the Japanese-shooting fleet did not fight back, the officers and soldiers on board the Japanese fleet suddenly laughed loudly. In their opinion, these two rounds of massive bombardments were enough to scare the crew of the Japanese-shooting fleet out of fear, otherwise

Why don't you even dare to fire a shot?

However, when Ueno Daiki saw this abnormal phenomenon, he was not happy at all. He frowned and looked at the sun-shooting fleet opposite, but the uneasiness in his heart became increasingly intense.

He didn't believe that the shooting opponents were really too frightened to accept the challenge. If that was the case, then they could have fled in all directions. Even if they surrendered, they wouldn't have to risk continuing to be bombarded by coming over and throwing themselves into a trap, right? What's more?

Maintain battle formation.

"Continue the bombardment and be careful of the other party's attacks!" Ueno Daiki ordered.

Just when all the officers and soldiers of Japan's navy had just received the order, another dull sound of "dong dong dong" came to their ears, but it was the sun-shooting fleet that counterattacked.

Braving the intensive firepower of the Japanese fleet, relying on its greatly enhanced armor protection, and paying the price of dozens of casualties and multiple damage to the hull, the Japanese fleet successfully approached less than two meters away from the Japanese fleet.

Thousands of meters away. As Qin Zhonglin issued the attack order, the warships, which had been preparing for attack and had already been simmering with fire, immediately launched a fierce bombardment at the Japanese fleet.

"Boom boom!"

The "Shimadzu" frigate closest to the front was hit by several 356mm heavy artillery shells in just a few minutes, and countless other small-caliber artillery shells. Violent explosions raged on the hull, high and high.

The island became like a hornet's nest on fire. The "Shimadzu", which had only a hundred people, suffered more than half of its casualties in an instant. However, these little devils still stubbornly used the front and rear main guns to fight back.

Other battleships also suffered varying degrees of damage.

Huge water columns rose into the sky around the destroyer "Fujiyama", the flagship of the Japanese fleet, causing the destroyer to shake. Huge waves fell on the ship, causing Ueno Daiki and a group of nearby officers and soldiers to feel pain.

.

"What a powerful firepower!" Ueno Daiki couldn't help but exclaimed.

Based on this shot alone, Ueno Daiki concluded that the main guns of the Japanese-shooting fleet were not inferior to the main guns of his own ship, which can be called the most advanced destroyer of the times, and the shell charges and power of other warships were not inferior to those of other warships.

Battleships. He really couldn't imagine when these retired battleships from Country M, Russia and China had such strong protection and sharp artillery fire?

However, the war was in full swing, and Ueno Daiki had no time to think too much and hurriedly commanded the fleet to sail irregularly to dodge while launching a more violent attack.

In an instant, hundreds of cannons from ships on both sides went into full bloom. Sparks from the muzzles were shooting out, deafening. The sky was filled with smoke, but the waves were not yet rough and the sea was boiling.

Huge columns of water rose into the sky from the sea, intertwined with the black smoke in the sky, as if they were a summons before the end of the world, announcing that the naval battle between the two sides had entered a fever pitch.

Seeing that the sun-shooting fleet he commanded was not losing at all against the Japanese naval fleet on the opposite side, Qin Zhonglin had mixed feelings. When people mention Asian naval powers, the first thing that comes to mind is Japan. As a huge country, China, besides

In addition to the advantage in the number of battleships, there seems to be a big gap in other aspects. How long ago, could we fight so happily?

When he came to Feiyuan Company's escort fleet - the Shooting Fleet - with a glimmer of hope, Qin Zhonglin never thought that those so-called retired warships were just a cover. The battleships of the Shooting Fleet did not look very good on the surface.

But the actual performance is extremely superior. This is also a battleship specially customized through various channels by Feiyuan Company. It has sacrificed part of its speed in exchange for stronger armor protection. Anyway, against Leng Binghan.

It is said that these warships are mainly used for defense rather than offense. At the same time, their artillery configuration is second to none among the world's warships.

It is precisely because of this that Leng Binghan dared to send this fleet to have an armed confrontation with r's navy so confidently, not even caring whether r's side would start a war. But Qin Zhonglin dared to take dangerous risks, approach the opponent and then fire, and in one fell swoop

The heavy damage to the "Shimadzu" has something to do with the fact that these battleships are specially customized with strong armor.

Ueno Daiki was also kept in the dark. He always believed that his opponent was just an inferior fleet, so he would be so careless. Otherwise, before the war started, he would have informed the other "Nineteen" fleet in advance.

If the two fleets merge into one, then even if the armor protection and artillery of the battleships of the Japanese-shooting fleet are very powerful, they will not be any better.

The officers and soldiers on each battleship may have been a little uneasy and nervous at the beginning. After all, this was a war with the R-party navy, which is known as the "No. 1 Navy in Asia", and they were somewhat confused. But after these rounds, they felt that,

The navy in this small country is nothing more than that. The original nervousness and uneasiness gradually disappeared. Instead, it was full of fighting spirit and wanted to give this little naughty kid a good beating.

At the beginning of Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force, the "Mutsu" frigate exploded inexplicably. Now that the war has begun, they have discovered that the enemy is far from being as vulnerable as originally thought. On the contrary, they fought in a methodical and orderly manner.

He couldn't take any advantage at all, so his morale gradually became a little low.

After careful observation, Qin Zhonglin suddenly discovered that the "Akijin" frigate of R's fleet gradually deviated from the main force during the fierce battle. He immediately boldly ordered the fleet to make an emergency 90-degree turn, and the entire fleet accelerated, and with R's fleet

The fleet formed a right-angle posture and rushed towards the frigate "Akitsu".

Ueno Daiki also seemed to have discovered the purpose of the sun-shooting fleet, and hurriedly ordered the "Akitsu" frigate to move closer to the main force. However, the captain of the "Akitsu" frigate informed that the battleship had a mechanical failure and lacked power.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ueno Daiki ordered the nearby warships to go to cover, but it was already too late. The sun-shooting fleet had already concentrated its firepower and launched a fierce bombardment on the unlucky "Akitsu" frigate.

Boom, boom, boom!

The dense shells fell on the left and right sides of the "Akitsu" frigate like a heavy rain, causing a cloud of smoke and rain in the sky.

The fierce gunfire immediately shattered the armor protection of the "Akitsu" frigate. The "Akitsu" frigate, which had just fired one round of shells, was hit by dozens of shells and exploded before it had time to fire the next round of shells.

Debris flew everywhere, causing a large number of casualties among Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force officers and soldiers. The violent explosion caused almost all the superstructure of the entire battleship to be razed to the ground, with layers of fire clouds and thick smoke billowing. The entire battleship was shrouded in thick smoke and

In the sea of ​​​​fire, even the steel was burned and deformed in serious places. The disgusting smell of burnt corpses floated in the air.

Explosions were heard one after another, fire spread everywhere, and seawater poured down.

Boom boom!

Several high-explosive armor-piercing shells hit the "Akitsu". The overwhelming energy almost didn't explode inside the ship until it penetrated several layers of armor. In an instant, the entire hull of the "Akitsu" could no longer withstand the violent energy impact.

, tore, shattered, and then exploded, like fireworks blooming in the air, splashing and falling to all sides, and the flying fragments even flew to Ueno Daiki's side.

Seeing the frigate broken into two pieces in the middle and sinking rapidly, Ueno Daiki was shocked and angry.

Unexpectedly, he had just lost a frigate and more than a hundred brave soldiers on the battleship before he had achieved anything. This was really hard for him to accept. He couldn't even understand why he was always so diligent.

Due to maintenance, what happened to the fleet that has never failed? The frigate "Mutsu" exploded inexplicably in front of it. Fortunately, the casualties in the hull and personnel were not serious. But now is the time when the fight is fierce.

The "Akitsu" frigate had another problem. If not, maintaining a tight battle formation, how could the other side sink it so easily?

The sinking of the "Akijin" made the already low morale even worse. Seeing some of the comrades who had managed to escape struggling and wailing in the sea, everyone's heart sank into the bottomless abyss.

Is this a punishment from the God of Rizhao for our wrong behavior?

The sinking of the "Akitsu" was a great joy for the Japanese-shooting fleet. You must know that sinking and damaging are two completely different concepts in naval battles. This is the first time that the Japanese-shooting fleet has sunk the "Akitsu".

Sinking the opponent's warship, for this special fleet, is indeed a great encouragement to everyone and doubles their fighting spirit.
