Rebirth without Regrets

Chapter 643 Naval Battle (3)

Everyone was working hard and preparing to sink a few more of the Japanese warships to see if they would dare to come here again to show off their power.

Qin Zhonglin also suppressed the excitement and excitement in his heart. He issued various instructions according to the rapidly changing situation on the battlefield, and still had an extremely serious tone. However, the smiling wrinkles at the corners of his eyes had betrayed the emotions in his heart at this time.

Commanding a fleet to sink enemy warships, such a glorious achievement can definitely be recorded in the annals of history.

The number of ships in the two fleets was originally about the same. However, before the Japanese fleet, the "Mutsu" returned to the base early for repairs, and the "Akitsu" was sunk, which suddenly reduced the number of two warships. Therefore, the number of warships suddenly increased.

It is at a disadvantage. Although the overall combat strength does not entirely depend on the number of battleships, but under the premise that there is little difference in other aspects, the Japanese fleet is somewhat passive. Even the destroyer "Fujiyama" is fighting against the "Feitian"

While the destroyer was attacking, it also had to expend a lot of firepower to defend against the attacks of other warships of the Sun Shooting Fleet. As a result, the formation of the already scarred Japanese fleet immediately became a little disorganized.

The fierce artillery battle caused the nearby sea area to be completely shrouded in smoke, blocking the sky and the sun. Countless artillery shells falling into the sea stirred up water columns and waves, plus the generated air waves, artificially creating an unprecedented storm.

As the main battleships of the two fleets, the two flagships "Fujiyama" and "Fitian" are the primary targets of attack by the other party. Naturally, they were hit the most by bullets. I don't know how many rounds they were hit. In short, they were riddled with bullet marks, and the superstructure was blazing with fire everywhere.

and smoke. A 15-meter-long and 3-centimeter-wide crack appeared on the starboard side of the "Feitian". Water entered the fuel tank, fuel flowed out, and the right propulsion shaft was deformed. The "Fujiyama" did not recover either. There were breaches in many places on the hull, and the boiler

The missile cabin was damaged and the missile cabin caught fire. However, no important parts of the two ships were penetrated, so there was no fatal threat yet.

At 10:55 in the morning, after a fierce battle, the Japan-shooting fleet "Flying" frigate braved a hail of bullets, broke through the defensive interception of the two Japanese frigates "Nagoya" and "Izumo", and headed towards the huge "Mt. Fuji"

"The number forced him over.

"No, they are going to launch torpedoes!" Ueno Daiki immediately realized something was wrong.

Generally speaking, frigates cannot compare with destroyers in terms of tonnage, armor, or firepower. Obviously, they cannot use artillery to attack large destroyers. Even ship-based missiles will be difficult to cause serious damage to the "Mount Fuji".

Only by relying on torpedoes to attack key parts below the waterline at close range can the destroyer be most likely to be sunk. This is one of the main reasons why torpedoes have not completely withdrawn from naval battles. Therefore, he immediately ordered the attack

Medium artillery fire attacked the "Feiyang".

The main battleship's volley of firepower was extremely ferocious, giving people the impression of an oppressive force that was about to destroy the world. The dense firepower suddenly hit the "Feiyang" like a storm.

The "Feiyang" frigate made an emergency turn to the right, as if it was a show. The warship tilted more than ten degrees, and its port side drew a beautiful arc on the sea, setting off waves of rolling waves.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Rows of shells exploded, causing sea water to fill the sky.

Under such intensive artillery fire, although the "Feiyang" tried its best to dodge, it was still hit by several artillery shells. In an instant, a bright red mushroom cloud bloomed. The explosive power of two 356 mm heavy artillery shells was even more intense.

The hull of the "Feiyang" was instantly stuck, and its speed suddenly dropped. The armor on the starboard waterline was penetrated, and after a sudden explosion, two holes more than one meter wide were torn open. In an instant, seawater poured in.

, the battleship tilted toward starboard.

"Damn it!" Wei Jinxu, the captain of the "Feiyang" frigate, was shocked. He knew very well that if the armor of the warship had not been specially reinforced, this round of shelling might be able to destroy it.

Battleship sunk.

"Launch torpedo No. 1 and No. 2!" Although the distance to the "Mount Fuji" was still seven to eight hundred meters at the moment, which was not the optimal attack distance, Wei Jinxu no longer dared to wait any longer due to the damage to the ship's hull.

In a naval battle, losing speed means becoming a target for the enemy.

"Yes!, No. 1, No. 2 torpedoes are launched!" The signalman repeated the captain's order.

At this moment, the "Feiyang" suddenly trembled, and a shell hit the top of the ship island. In an instant, the upper bridge was penetrated, and the shell penetrated the three bridge decks and exploded behind the command tower. The explosion

The command tower was not penetrated, but Wei Jinxu and several bridge staff were knocked to the ground by the huge impact, making them dizzy. Several people leaning against the back wall of the command tower fainted on the spot, their ears and ears

Blood oozed from his nose and mouth.

The order had not yet been conveyed because the signal soldier had fainted and was unable to convey the order.

Wei Jinxu was so anxious that he looked at the microphone that was close at hand, hurriedly struggled to crawl over, managed to lean on the microphone and shouted loudly: "I am Captain Wei Jinxu, and I order No. 1 and No. 2 to be launched immediately."

torpedo!"

Hearing the reply from the torpedo room on the phone, Wei Jinxu breathed a sigh of relief, shook his increasingly dizzy head, and just about to stand up, a 356mm heavy artillery shell landed on the left side of the command tower.

With a bang, the huge explosive force instantly shattered the armor of the command tower. Unable to withstand the huge tearing force, the command tower immediately fell apart and splashed around.

At the same time, more shells hit the "Feiyang", and the bridge command post was destroyed. In an instant, it cracked like lightning and thunder, making a huge noise, blazing flames scorching the sky, and white smoke covering the sea. The entire battleship was

Shrouded in thick smoke.

After a while, Wei Jinxu woke up slowly and felt a burning pain in his head. There was blood all over his body. When he looked at the other people on the command tower, he was stunned. All other personnel fell in a pool of blood.

Some of them had eyes wide open and bleeding from all their orifices; some were in pieces, with stumps of limbs and internal organs visible everywhere, and blood everywhere.

Holding back the tumbling in his stomach, Wei Jinxu raised his eyes and saw two torpedoes on the sea speeding towards the "Fuji Mountain".

"Da da da!"

Upon seeing this, the "Fujisan" quickly accelerated to evade, and opened fire violently with the rapid-fire cannon on one side, forming a dense blockade on the sea surface 400 meters away, raining down bullets.

At this time, everyone's heart was in their throats. Everyone knew what would happen if the "Fujiyama" was hit by a torpedo in such a fierce naval battle.

Under the sea, the torpedoes were like black swordfish, rushing straight towards the "Mount Fuji". The dense rapid-fire artillery shells passed through the sea surface, wrapped in bubbles composed of air, and shot into the sea water. If you look up from the bottom of the sea, it would be like

It was like a stream of meteorites falling from the sky, streaking across the sky, leaving behind an extremely brilliant brilliance.

"Boom!"

The two torpedoes heading straight for the "Fujisan" were not detonated by rapid-fire artillery until they were 50 meters away from the ship. The two huge explosions stirred up two water jets that shot into the sky, making Ueno Daiki and all other personnel unable to help themselves.

Breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the waves brought by the explosion shock wave violently hit the side of the battleship, and the strong smell of sea mixed with the aroused water mist made Ueno Daiki feel very confused and uneasy.

Vaguely, he suddenly and inexplicably thought of failure. For him, this word had never existed in his dictionary. However, at this moment, he couldn't help but think of this word.

Seeing that the torpedo did not achieve the expected results, Wei Jinxu was very disappointed. He staggered to the microphone, picked up the microphone and shouted a few times, but there was no response. He knew that the battleship's communication line must have been in the past just now.

Destroyed by shelling.

"Come here, is anyone alive?" He braced himself, dragged his injured body out of the command tower that had been almost razed to the ground, and called loudly. But looking around, he saw blazing fire, thick smoke, and corpses all over the ship.

You can hardly see anyone alive in the wild.

It is obviously a miracle that the ship was so badly damaged and did not sink.

"It's rare that all the more than a hundred brothers on the entire ship are dead?" Just when Wei Jinxu was almost desperate, he heard a voice from behind: "Report, I, I am still alive!"

Wei Jinxu hurriedly turned around and saw a big man wearing a sun-shooting fleet uniform standing in front of him. His face was all black. He didn't know whether it was covered with cannon fodder or blackened by fireworks.

, only showing two white eye circles, a living giant panda.

"Great!" At this time, Wei Jinxu no longer cared about who the person in front of him was. He grabbed him excitedly and said, "Go to the torpedo room immediately, convey my order, and launch No. 3 and No. 4 torpedoes immediately!

"

At this time, there was only one thought in his mind, and that was: He must hit the "Mount Fuji" with a torpedo. Even if he couldn't sink it, he would still skin him! But no one thought about living.

"But..." The big man looked confused, but after a moment of hesitation, he responded resolutely: "Yes!" He turned around and ran towards the torpedo room.

Seeing the big man's back turning away, Wei Jinxu smiled, his body softened, and he immediately collapsed on the spot, and his vision gradually blurred.

As soon as he pushed open the door to the underground, a flame burst out. The big man hurriedly closed the door, and a section of his hair on his head had been scorched by the fire.

This was the reason why he hesitated just now. There was already a fire under the cabin. Since the battleship was severely damaged and most of the crew members were killed, the fire was even more uncontrollable. But when he thought of Wei Jinxu's instructions just now, thought of the comrades who died, and thought of returning

As the enemy ships kept firing, his eyes were bloodshot, he gritted his teeth, opened the door again and rushed into the sea of ​​fire.

Not long after, two torpedoes jumped into the sea from the "Feiyang" frigate again, bubbling and bubbling, and quickly rushed towards the "Fujiyama" destroyer.
