Chapter 926: The Friction of the Bismarck Sea 3

At this time, the more courageous the New York made another hit, this shell directly hit the 8-inch armor belt in the middle of the King Kong hull, this time the angle was not good, the shell exploded directly outside the armor plate, but the impact of the violent armor and explosion still tore a large piece of armor from the hull, and at the same time caused the back plate of the rear of the armor plate to crack! The shattered back plate pierced the watertight compartment inside the hull like a shrapnel bomb, and a large amount of seawater poured into the interior of the hull from the torn armor belt.

"King Kong, temporarily out of the battle!" Lieutenant General Dingyoshi Kato gave the signal. The King Kong gave him the feeling of eating jujube pills, ah....... He really didn't dare to let the battleship stay on the battle line any longer.

Of course, the current situation does not need King Kong, the Nevada has lost most of its combat effectiveness, even if the Fuso is one to two. What's more, he still has the order from above in his head, if it really misses the gun, don't fight to death. If Nevada is really left here, Kato Dingyoshi can't afford the political consequences.

After a brief hesitation, the King Kong estimated that the Fuso would be able to handle the current situation on its own, so it temporarily released smoke and withdrew from the battle. Then, the Fuso's six 15-inch guns began to tilt angry flames at the New York!

Although there were some problems with the British's shells, it was impossible to say that they did not penetrate deeply, especially as a Niu Niu heirloom, especially the 15-inch L42 gun used from World War I to the end of World War II! And this time, the Japanese tested how deep this gun was in real combat!

In the sixth round of shooting, the Fuso successfully caught the target, and in the ninth round of shooting, the Fuso made its first hit against the New York! A 15-inch shell smashed into the armor belt of the upper gun gallery of the New York, and after easily tearing off about 7 inches of armor, the two 5-inch guns in the back and the gun crew were smashed to pieces!

The second hit shell hit the gun mount of the No. 2 turret of the battleship New York. As a non-iron turtle warship, the defense of the New York is much worse than that of Nevada, and the 10-inch gun mount is not so reliable, although it successfully blocked the projectile body, but when the explosives inside the shell exploded, the violent explosion and impact still pierced a large hole in the gun mount, and a large number of fragments and flames scattered along the hole inside the gun mount, blowing up the internal conveyor into pieces, but fortunately, it did not cause the ammunition to detonate. Puffs of smoke and flames poured out of the breach. It even began to spread on the upper deck. A large number of U.S. military damage management team members rushed forward and wrestled with the raging fire demons.

The third hit was also good, and the shell hit the position under the chimney in the rear of the New York, and unlike the normal situation on the vertical armor belt, this shot hit the horizontal armor belt, which was only 2 inches ...... the horizontal armor of the battleship New York. The sharp warhead of the shell easily tore through the thin horizontal steel plate and plunged headlong into the ammunition compartment, but fortunately, the overly sensitive fuse detonated the shell early, but even so, the shell still tore a large hole of several square meters in the main horizontal armor!

A huge fireball exploded in the upper part of the power compartment, surging flames fell from the sky, and a powerful shockwave swept through half of the boiler room with a large amount of debris! Four boilers were destroyed in an instant, a large amount of high-risk high-pressure water vapor diffused from the cabin, and a cloud of black and white smoke rose from the middle of the hull. The power output of the entire battleship was instantly lowered by a notch. And the fire that caused it is still trying to spread around.

"Kill the New York! The Fuso will be the first to sink a super-dreadnought Japanese battleship! "Unlike the situation just now, no matter how much you hit Nevada, the lethality of Fuso's 15-inch guns was still quite strong in the face of the New York, and the morale of the Japanese naval officers and men was once again raised to the extreme, and they clamored to kill the American fleet in front of them, imagining the grand occasion when they returned to Korea in victory, without considering what a terrible thing it would be if a war really broke out between the United States and Japan!

However, the New York was not without a win, a 14-inch shell smashed on the No. 4 turret of the Fuso, and after bouncing high, it landed on the barrel on the left side of the turret, cutting off the thick 15-inch L42 barrel directly. This can be regarded as causing some trouble for this "first Japanese battleship". It's not a loss of face.

"Otherwise, it's almost over." Looking at the Nevada, which was already shrouded in smoke and flames in the distance, and the hull was also a little tilted, and the New York, which was beaten and dusty. Lieutenant General Kato Dingyoshi already had plans to retreat. And when the gunner reported that the number of armor-piercing shells for each main gun of the battleship was less than 20, Kato Dingyoshi finally decided to retreat.

Having calmed down, he also realized that his actions were a bit hasty, for example, if it was really the American fleet that deliberately attacked the Japanese fleet, then after the successful submarine sneak attack, then why didn't the Nevada and the New York strike first? Another problem is that the torpedo trajectory was not found before the Akashi was destroyed, although it is normal that the torpedo trajectory was not found due to the problem of vision or sea surface interference, but judging from the location where the American submarine was found, the probability of the opponent's successful attack on the Akashi is not large. After all, the two sides are a little far apart, about 3500 meters, and the submarine hits a cruiser at 3500 meters? This probability is really not high.......

"What if I get it wrong......." A terrible guess suddenly popped up in Kato's mind, which made him shudder. This is not a brawl between the children next door, more than half an hour has passed, and the casualties on the other side are more than three digits, and if Japan beats the Americans for no reason, how will this matter end.......

Although this possibility was thought of, Kato still could not imagine that the explosion of the battleship was the cause of the Japanese Navy itself. Now in a combat voyage, the ammunition depot is even more of a top priority, the human factor has almost been ruled out, and then you tell me, the battleship just blew itself up? Because the heat dissipation of the ammunition depot blew itself up? This TM is too talkative, right? If it is passed out, the Japanese Navy will not be laughed out of big teeth? Just by virtue of this "record". What else is called the third in the world?

Kato Dingji found himself unusually entangled, and his actions seemed to have made a big mistake. It's beyond your control. So what now? The Japanese general is a little uncertain, but he at least knows that it can't be done, so let's stop it first!
