readx; "Three o'clock direction, torpedo three, speed forty!" An officer on the bridge reported urgently, and the captain of the Shinano, Nobusuke, immediately ordered: "Turn right forty degrees!" ”

The Shinano spotted the torpedoes relatively early, giving them enough time to maneuver to evade, and a minute later, the lookout on the Shinano reported that two more torpedoes had been found. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Shinano evaded again!

Then, just when Nobusuke Daisa on the Shinano thought that all five torpedoes had been dodged, suddenly there was a loud noise from the Shinano, and the loud noise was accompanied by violent vibrations.

"Hit! It's a torpedo! Shin Naosuke's eyes seemed to breathe fire: "Damn, there are more than five torpedoes in Shina!" ”

Of the six torpedoes fired from the Zhan, it is normal for the Shinano to be able to detect and avoid five in advance, but considering that it is night, especially it is still a rainy night, the wind and waves on the sea are extremely strong, and the two fleets are in the most intense state of engagement, so it is reasonable to miss a torpedo.

When the Shinano shook violently, a huge column of water had risen in the middle of its starboard side, and the sixth torpedo accurately hit the underwater position in the middle of the starboard side of the Shinano, and in an instant the Shinano was flooded with a large amount of seawater.

"Immediate management damage work!" By the time Nobusuke delivered the order, a large number of personnel on board the Shinano had already begun to work on the damage, and a large number of pumping machines were activated as soon as possible, and several compartments on the starboard side were closed to prevent further flooding.

As the last battleship built and put into service by the Navy, the Shinano is surnamed enough to be called the most powerful battleship in the world along with the Iowa class battleships, and it is weaker than the Iowa in terms of firepower and speed, but the protection capability of the Yamato-class is stronger than that of the Iowa, and a single torpedo is not enough to kill the Shinano. Unless it was as unlucky as the Yamato, which was attacked by carrier-based aviation, and the same part was sunk by two torpedoes in succession, causing a large amount of water to enter the water, or it would not be an easy task to sink the Shinano.

It is no exaggeration to say that a battleship of Shinano's class was able to hold out for several hours even if it was left in place for the enemy to attack.

Now one of the Zizhan torpedoes hit was not enough to make the Shinano lose its combat effectiveness, and the Shinano carried out emergency management damage and controlled the speed of water intake.

However, at this time, the Shinano had already advanced to the southwest in the previous maneuver to avoid torpedoes, and the Shinano was originally less than thirteen nautical miles away from the Yandi of the Chinese Navy.

Because he had already seen the Shinano being torpedoed, the explosion of which set off a huge column of water that could be seen through a telescope on the Yandi, who was more than a dozen nautical miles away.

Moreover, now that the course of the Shinano has changed to sail straight towards the Yandi and the Yellow Emperor because of the evasion of torpedo attacks, a Lieutenant General Lu Jian must think that it is going to continue to advance and strike at his own side.

"It is necessary to keep a certain distance, and our fire control radar still has an advantage in long-range shooting!" Vice Admiral Lu Jian said: "Order the Yandi and the Yellow Emperor to launch a salvo against the enemy's No. 1 ship!" ”

At this moment, although the accuracy of long-range shooting has been greatly reduced by the complicated sea conditions and night operations on both sides, the Chinese Navy still has the advantage of fire control radar, and this is something that the Chinese Navy does not have. In any case, the greater the distance, the greater the advantage for the Chinese Navy.

After ordering the Yandi and the Yellow Emperor to go to war, Vice Admiral Lu Jian once again descended and turned to the right, trying to keep a distance from the enemy ship Shinano!

Lieutenant General Lu Jian's strategic goal is different from that of "himself, Lieutenant General Lu Jian now only needs to delay time, as long as it drags on until dawn, then victory will not be far from him, he only needs to entangle himself and delay time at the same time, and he does not need to fight to the death with himself."

But they didn't know that at this time, the aircraft carriers of the Second Mobile Fleet were already withdrawing at the southwest high speed under the cover of a large number of escort ships, not to mention that the distance was now more than 50 nautical miles, even if it was closer and discovered by them, Ben's high-speed fleet would actually not be able to catch up with the Chinese aircraft carrier formation.

In the fire control radar control room of the main gun on the Yandi, the officers and soldiers were nervously scanning and calculating, and then transmitting the relevant results to the fire control type. Inside the gunnery bridge, a lieutenant colonel was waiting for the final result.

"Turret No. 1 is ready!"

"Turret No. 2 is ready!"

"Turret No. 3 is ready!"

After the fire control radar and fire control computer calculated and entered the relevant results, the turrets had already completed the final preparations, and the lieutenant colonel did not pause much at this time: "Fire!" ”

With the order of the lieutenant colonel, the nine sixteen-inch and fifty-fold main guns on the Yandi opened fire one after another in a very short time, and formed a salvo!

Nine huge 1,200 kilograms of super-heavy armor-piercing shells flew out of the muzzle of the cannon with an initial velocity of up to 780 meters per second, and the huge muzzle flames rose at the same time, and there was a loud rumbling sound echoing on the sea, if you drove towards the Yandi from afar, you could see that the port side of the Yandi had risen nine huge flames one after another, and the nine huge cannonballs in the flames galloped out and flew into the sky!

The nine huge shells flew upwards at an angle, then reached their highest point halfway through and began to decrease in altitude under the gravitational pull of the earth, thus creating a clear arc in the air.

This is the scene of the situation when the sixteen-inch cannon is fired in a salvo, although the Yandi and the Yellow Emperor have carried out many rounds of shelling before, but some of the officers and soldiers on the bridge of the Shaohao in the rear saw this scene, and they couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts by such a situation!

Twenty seconds after the Yandi fired a salvo, the Yellow Emperor behind it also fired a salvo, and also sent out nine huge cannonballs that flew towards the Shinano!

After a long flight, these shells landed in the waters near the Shinano one after another, and set off huge droplets of water on the sea surface, although the nearest shell landed nearly 100 meters away from the Shinano, but it still made the officers and men on the Shinano tremble!

"The enemy ships have already opened fire on me!" A lieutenant said nervously to Shin Naosuke: "Your Excellency, are we going to fight back!" ”

"Nonsense, don't you fight back?" Shin Naosuke looked at this subordinate who was already extremely nervous and even his feet were trembling, and his heart naturally didn't get any better.

How did such a person become an officer in the Imperial Navy!

Even though the Shinano is limited by the limitations of the radar surname and is inferior to the Yandi in long-distance shelling, it does not mean that they will not be able to return fire. The fire controller of the Shinano adjusted the light of the cannon flame of the Yandi shooting, and after setting the shooting parameters, the six sixteen-inch guns in front of the Shinano opened fire one after another, and the Shinano had already turned while firing, on the one hand, they did not want to continue to get closer, and on the other hand, they also hoped to be able to exert the firepower of the No. 3 turret at the stern.

Subsequently, the four sixteen-inch front main guns of the Kaohsiung, which was following the Shinano, also began to fire one after another!

After the two sides gradually approached in the early stage, the capital ships of the two sides officially began to fight, sixteen-inch shells flew around, and then set off a huge column of water near the enemy warship.

There is no doubt that the showdown scene between the battleships was spectacular and gorgeous!

The scene of the 16-inch huge naval cannon firing is enough to make a sailor remember for a lifetime, and the 100-meter-high water column set off by the cannonball after falling into the water is even more beautiful than the 100-meter waterfall!

The two sides battleships costing hundreds of millions of dollars faced off with all their hearts, and staged the most gorgeous fireworks display of the year for the officers and soldiers of both sides with explosions and flames!

In the gorgeous duel, the hit rate of the two sides was very tragic, the eighteen sixteen-inch main guns of the Yandi and the Yellow Emperor carried out three rounds of salvo fire respectively, and a total of forty-eight sixteen-inch giant shells were fired, but without exception they all fell on the sea near the Shinano, and at the same time as lifting off the water column, they did not get a single hit, not even a close miss.

Similarly, in the blows launched by the Shinano and the Shinano against the Yandi, dozens of shells also did not achieve any results!

Although the battleship's main guns are powerful, the hit rate is too tragic! If the situation is calm and the sea is calm, the hit rate of the main guns of the battleship is only a single-digit percentage point, and tonight's sea conditions are so complicated, the hit rate of the main guns of both sides is even more tragic.

While the battleships of the two sides were engaged in a gorgeous duel, those light ships did not just enjoy the gorgeous fireworks display, but all took this opportunity to launch a larger-scale attack!

At this time, the three destroyers of the 17th Destroyer Group also broke through the interception of the naval firepower, and then approached the Kaohsiung and obtained a valuable window for launching torpedoes, and then the three destroyers projected more than a dozen Type 37 torpedoes at almost the same time!

So many torpedoes galloped towards the Kaohsiung at a speed of up to forty knots in white waves, making the Kaohsiung who was firing a salvo towards the Yandi with the Shinano fighting all nervous! 、

"Torpedo spotted at four o'clock!"

"Torpedo spotted at three o'clock!"

"Hurry up and evade!"

"Right full rudder!"

"They're almost there! Yaga, another torpedo has been found ahead! ”

"Knock out these torpedoes with secondary artillery!"

"Hit!"

"There was no explosion, it's a dud, long live Amaterasu!"

"I dodged another one, it's so dangerous, it's less than a few meters from the stern!"

"Great, I knocked out another one! The Imperial Kingdom Martial Arts Fortune Lives Forever! ”

Although the Kaohsiung dodged one torpedo after another as if playing acrobatics, it was attacked by enemy ships with a salvo of more than a dozen torpedoes less than four nautical miles away, and even if the Kaohsiung was reincarnated as a space battleship, it was impossible for the Kaohsiung to completely dodge!

"Another one is close, not good, hit ......"

When the Kaohsiung dodged several torpedoes in a row, knocked out two torpedoes with secondary guns, and hit one torpedo but it was a dud, its luck finally ran out!

In the next moment, a violent explosion erupted from the underwater part of the front half of the starboard side of the Kaohsiung, which lifted the water column and vibrated the Kaohsiung violently!

It was hit!

Then this situation could not make Lu Jian excited, because at the same time, there was a sudden loud noise on the Yellow Emperor, and there was a violent vibration and a huge column of water in the rear half of its port side!

It was also torpedoed!
