No one wants to have a second experience.

"The storm just now, presumably the Chinese fleet can't avoid it......"

Yamamoto Fifty-six came to the chart table, stared at the chart, and said as if talking to himself.

"The Chinese fleet should also have suffered serious losses, and it is likely that all of them have disappeared." Kuroshima Turtle Osa said.

"Oh? Why? Yamamoto asked, but didn't look back.

"Since the end of the storm, we have not listened to the communications of the Shina fleet, and all communications seem to have disappeared." The Black Island Turtleman replied.

"Oh......" Yamamoto Fifty-six sighed and didn't say anything more.

"Have we restored our radio communications?" The Chief of Staff, Major General Ugaki, asked suddenly.

"Not yet, sir." An officer replied.

"That is, no contact has been made with General Inoue's fleet yet." Yamamoto Fifty-six sighed again.

Since the arrival of the fleet in the "Dragon Triangle," radio communications have inexplicably failed, and they have not been restored to this day.

"This is the wrong battleground, sir." "It's too dangerous to stay here, we should leave as soon as possible." ”

"The enemy is near, and you say we're leaving?" Major General Ugaki glared at Kuroshima Kameto with some annoyance and asked loudly.

"Yes." The Black Island Turtle said with an unchanged face, "The reason why this place is called the 'Demon Sea' by the folks is because of this terrible storm. Now that the storm has subsided, it's hard to say when it will appear, and if it's a bigger storm, the fleet will suffer even more losses. ”

"The storm has just passed, and it shouldn't be so soon." Major General Ugaki knew that what Kuroshima Kameto was telling the truth, and he remembered the storm just now, and suddenly there was a faint feeling of vomiting in his stomach.

"But now we don't know where the enemy's fleet is......"

As soon as Kuroshima Turtle Osa finished speaking, a terrible alarm suddenly sounded.

"Enemy ships spotted! More than three! The lookout shouted.

Yamamoto Isoroku and his staff rushed out of the command tower and onto the bridge, without binoculars, and in the faint sea fog in the distance, the tall mast that pierced the sea level was very clear.

On the mast of the ship, the huge red, yellow and blue three-color "human" flag fluttering high was particularly eye-catching.

It is said that the warships sounded the alarm one after another, and for a time the whistle sounded throughout the sea and air.

"The rise and fall of the empire is here! Gentlemen, do your best! Yamamoto Fifty-six stared closely at the Chinese battleship opposite and said in a deep voice.

"With such a mess of the formation, Lao Chen is so unhappy."

On the bridge of the battleship "Fuxi", Chu Yangwei looked at the Chinese fleet that had formed a battle column, and said to Zhang Enming with a smile.

"Not only did we disrupt the formation and put them under our command, but we also let Lao Chen personally take the lead, haha! He's scolding us to death for a while. Zhang Enming nodded with a smile and said.

"He wants to take the lead." Chu Yangwei looked at the battleship "Chiyou" located in front of the ship, and raised the telescope again.

The Chinese fleet marched forward in a single column, starting with the two "Fuxi"-class super battleships, with the "Chiyou" in front, the flagship "Fuxi" in the rear, followed by the battleships "Chunqiu" and the battleship "Warring States", and behind the battleships "Warring States" were six "Republican"-class battleships "Republic", "Mingzhu", "Constitution", "Free Spirit", "Reading Power" and "Nation".

This was the first time since the Battle of Dadonggou in the First Sino-Japanese War that the Chinese Navy appeared in front of the old enemy Yueben Combined Fleet with the strongest lineup.

"I said that my movements are also very fast." Seeing that the fleet had also quickly completed the formation, Chu Yangwei couldn't help but nodded.

"I seem to have one less than us!" Zhang Enming said.

Listening to Zhang Enming's words, Chu Yangwei raised the telescope again, he counted it carefully, and sure enough, as Zhang Enming said, there were only 9 battleships in this fleet.

At this time, the flagship "Yamato" super battleship was in the lead in the array of the main battlefleet, followed by the ship "Musashi" of the same class, followed by the battleships "Akagi", "Cloud Castle", "Kii", "Owari", "Nagato", "Mutsu", and "Kai".

"Looks like two are missing." Chu Yangwei said.

"Don't sink in the storm just now, do you?" Zhang Enming said.

Just as Zhang Enming guessed, the battleships "Kaga" and "Tosa" in this fleet, which were absent, had sunk with all their crews in the terrible storm just now because of their poor navigational skills.

"Possibly." Thinking of the storm he had just experienced, Chu Yangwei still had palpitations, he looked at the watch on his wrist, and was surprised to find that the watch had stopped.

"Don't look at it, my watch has stopped." Zhang Enming noticed Chu Yangwei's surprised expression, smiled bitterly, and said, "Not only the watch, but also the table clock and the compass are all out of order now." ”

"Looks like this 'Dragon Triangle' is fucking weird!" Chu Yangwei looked up at the gray sky and said to himself.

"Yes! Who knows what other strange things could happen in this place. Zhang Enming also said.

"Then don't bother! Hurry! Send me on my way! Chu Yangwei was overwhelmed, and said viciously, "Speed up!" Grab its 't' head! ”

With the long roar of a dragon, the Chinese battleships began to accelerate and rushed straight towards the fleet.

"Your Excellency, Commander! It's too dangerous here! Please go back to the cabin! Rear Admiral Ugaki said earnestly to Isoroku Yamamoto, who was standing on the bridge.

Yamamoto looked at the telescope for a long time before nodding and turning back to the command tower.

Just as Yamamoto had just entered the command tower, his feet suddenly fell empty and he almost fell.

Yamamoto Fifty-six stood up straight, and then the hull of the "Yamato" shook again.

The faces of the officers in the command tower suddenly became nervous, and a premonition that there might be a disaster rose in their hearts, and then the black island turtle Osaku was the first to discover the situation:

"Hurry up! The currents on this sea surface are abnormal! ”

As soon as the words of the Black Island Turtle Man fell, the other people also saw a terrible scene.

I saw that countless sea holes, large and small, suddenly appeared on the calm sea, and they converged together, forming a huge black vortex!

At this time, the "Yamato" was driving between two whirlpools, and the huge hull was shaken back and forth by two undercurrents from different directions.

Yamamoto Fifty-six ran out of the command tower, re-came to the bridge, leaned down and looked down, only to see that huge whirlpools appeared one after another on the sea, and people were dizzy for a while, where did they dare to count the dozens and hundreds of whirlpools that had appeared on the sea.

At this time, Yamamoto Fifty-six's whole body seemed to be drenched in ice water, and he shivered at first, and then came to his senses.

"Turn! Fast! Major General Ugaki yelled.

At this time, the opposing Chinese fleet also discovered the anomaly on the sea and began to turn in a hurry.

The commanders of both warring sides understood that while the whirlpool was just beginning to take shape and the sea water had not yet leaked significantly, it was important to turn the bow of the ship and evacuate as soon as possible. If it is half a step at night, once it is swept into the whirlpool by the sea, even super giant ships like the "Fuxi" and "Yamato" will be sucked into the abyss by the ruthless whirlpool and torn into countless pieces!

At this time, the sound of the waves in the depths of the whirlpool came out like a giant bell wave after wave, the sea water swelled and buzzed, and the ships of the warring sides turned to the limit of power at this time, and turned to evacuate lifelessly, hoping to get as far away as possible from the large black pressure vortex, and if they could be one meter away, they would have a little more life to escape from the sea swallowing.

Yamamoto Isoroku on the bridge saw it very clearly, only to see the sea current swirling, and the whirlpool was being formed in circles, and the roar from the bottom of the sea was deafening. "Whirlpool" and "tornado" are the two major disasters of the sea falling together, although it has not taken shape at this time, but look at the precursor of this "sea subsidence", far beyond the power of the sea surge before the "dragon takes water", fortunately found in time, "sea subsidence" has not really appeared. Although the warships are driven by the current, they can still control their course, and at this critical juncture. Immediately cut through the waves and retreat sharply.

The countless vortices gradually closed and converged into an unfathomable vortex.

Once again, the unpredictable sea revealed its true face of madness, and the endless sea water swirled into the depths of the whirlpool, and the "Yamato" and other warships were gradually swept into the turbulent current, and the water in the whirlpool stood on the wall, sucking and swallowing the heavens and the earth.

The "Yamato" was firmly sucked by the whirlpool of the fallen whirlpool, and the huge whirlpool at sea became stronger and stronger the suction became stronger the more it reached the center, and in the deafening roar of the seabed, the "Yamato" gradually sailed into the edge of the whirlpool, and was slanted by the rapids, and the bow of the ship was tilted, and it shook crookedly with the swirl around the whirlpool.

Yamamoto's hands and feet were cold for a while, and he looked up and was surprised to find that the Chinese fleet, like the Yamamoto fleet, was sucked close by the huge whirlpool.

Seeing this terrible scene, Yamamoto Isoroku marveled at the infinite suction in the "vortex". What makes people feel strange is that there is no trace of sea breeze on the sea surface, but the sea around the whirlpool is surprising, and the sound is amazing.

The ships on both sides were all at full power, so that they could barely maintain the distance from the center of the vortex and not be sucked into the endless abyss.

At this time, if anyone looks down from the sky, he will see such a magnificent scene: two fleets are like two long dragons, constantly circling around a huge whirlpool.

Yamamoto 56 saw that the distance between the "Yamato" and the other warships and the center of the vortex had been fixed, and somehow his horror gradually calmed down.

Seeing the Chinese fleet opposite the vortex center, Yamamoto Fifty-six was stunned and shouted, "Open fire!" Shoot at enemy ships! ”

The officers were stunned for a moment, only then did they realize that the enemy was not only the unpredictable sea, but also the Chinese fleet that was close at hand, and they no longer watched the whirlpool from the bridge, but ran back to their posts.

Soon, the three quadruple main turrets of the "Yamato" began to slowly turn, pointing directly at the Chinese battleship "Chiyou" on the opposite side. Seeing the movements of the flagship, the subsequent battleships also began to turn their guns one after another.

As if he had "a soul in his heart", at about the same moment, the main turret of the Chinese battleship also turned.

Seeing that the muzzles of the four quadruple main guns of the "Chiyu" were aimed at the "Yamato", Yamamoto Isoroku suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion.

This is the naval battle he has been looking forward to participating in all his life!

The Chinese gunners were still one step ahead of the gunners, and just as the main guns of the "Yamato" had just finished aiming, the main guns of the "Chiyou" were the first to fire.

The muzzles of the 12 460 mm guns erupted long orange flames, followed by a loud sound that seemed to be the collapse of heaven and earth, and it unexpectedly drowned out the roar of the whirlpool.

This is the first time that human beings have shown their destructive power to nature in such a way!

The Chinese gunner's bullet was unusually accurate, and the huge shell landed on the port side of the "Yamato" and exploded, and in the huge vortex, a wall of water soared into the sky. The shock wave from the explosion shook the hull of the "Yamato," and the broken shrapnel hit the surface of the ship, as if the stream of machine gun bullets swept over, and many of the sailors could not dodge and fell down screaming.

"What a cannon!" Major General Ugaki sighed.

As soon as Rear Admiral Ugaki's words fell, the 12 510-mm cannons of the "Yamato" also roared wildly.

The thunderclap overwhelmed everything around, the huge cannon barrel spewed out a long flame, and huge ripples rushed out on the vortex on the sea surface, and the huge hull of the "Yamato" was actually moved several meters to the other side of the sea under the effect of the recoil generated by the salvo of the main guns!

Probably, in such sea conditions, the calculations were not very accurate, and the first salvo of the "Yamato" also did not hit the target, but exploded at a great distance on the port side of the "Chiyou". The explosion also lifted a high wall of water, enveloping the Chiyou in the mist.

Following the opening of fire on the Chiyou and Yamato, the remaining ships of the two warring sides also opened fire in turn.

On this indescribably strange sea, the sailors of the two countries desperately piloted their warships, trying their best to get rid of the huge vortex generated by the whirlpool, and at the same time firing a series of cannons and bombarding the ships chasing the enemy.

With the dark roaring vortex as the center, the sea water on the sea surface swirls and rolls, and the hideous giant ships seem to circle on a disk, the hull undulates up and down, and the bumps and shakes extremely violently, and the unloaded cannonballs carry a series of sparks, drawing huge parabolas in the air, falling into the sea and exploding.

A puff of gunpowder smoke erupted from the port side of the "Yamato," and an armor-piercing bullet fired from the "Chiyou" shot like a fireball at the body of the "Yamato" poking out of the waves.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and Yamamoto Fifty-six on the bridge felt a thunderclap in front of him, his ears "buzzed", his eyes couldn't help but darken for a while, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Yamamoto held on to the bar, barely falling, and he saw what seemed to be a volcanic eruption, spewing smoke from the port side of the "Yamato".

Despite being hit by the enemy ship, the "Yamato" shot without much interference, and the 510-mm gun once again spat out long flames, and Yamamoto's eyesight had recovered at this time, and he clearly saw the huge shells piercing through the water curtain and flying towards the enemy ship like a meteor.

At a distance of only one or two meters, the shells fired by the "Yamato" exploded on the sea surface on the side of the "Chiyu", and Yamamoto Isoroku saw that such a good opportunity would be lost, and he couldn't help but stomp his feet again and again.

As the hull of the ship kept going back and forth on the surface of the sea with the vortex around the whirlpool, everyone felt dizzy and sick for a long time. There seemed to be an invisible force field in the air, which pressed everyone to breathe. At this time, the warring ships seemed to be stationary, but they did not stand still, but were slowly rotated by the huge black sea surge, and under the action of the mysterious force field, it seemed that even the sea water had been frozen in the darkness of nothingness.

Yamamoto Fifty-six was full of screaming echoes in his ears at this time, and he could not hear any sound, but his vision was fine, and he noticed that the hull of the "Yamato" suddenly stopped rotating with the whirlpool, and the sea water in the sea cave did not seem to have any suction, although the current swirled and rolled, but the hull seemed to be fixed in one position.

At this time, this was true not only of the "Yamato", but also of the "Musashi" and other battleships of the Akamoto.

The same happened to the Chinese fleet opposite.

Although the sea conditions became extremely strange, the warring sides did not have the intention of stopping at all, but continued to fire the main guns, because the sea surface was no longer undulating for the time being, the gunners of the two warring sides became much easier to get accurate than before, and the bullets of both sides became more accurate.

The "Yamato" fired six more ferocious salvos in succession, and the last one was successful, two 510-millimeter huge projectiles hit the "Chiyou", and Yamamoto Isoroku saw that the "Chiyou" was instantly surrounded by a huge ball of fire, followed by billowing smoke.

But at this moment, a huge explosion suddenly broke out in the middle of the fleet, and Yamamoto Fifty-six was taken aback, and immediately turned his head to look, only to see a huge column of smoke rising from the ships behind him.

"It was the Kii that was hit." Major General Ugaki said.

At this time, on the battleship "Kii", the No. 1 main turret had been shattered, and the two 410-mm gun barrels were also twisted and deformed, and they were slanted there in despair.

The Kii-class battleships were built after the battleships of the "Nagato" class and the battleships of the "Kaga" class. Compared with the Kaga-class battleships, the biggest difference in the appearance of the Kii-class plan was that the shape of the ship was changed from a "flat deck type" to a "long bow type", so the original tail section was arranged in the word "pin", and the turret sandwiched between the bridge and the higher stern turret was raised, so that the problem of limiting the use of firepower was solved to a certain extent
