Chapter 2774: Battle II

　　 "Fire!" Almost at the same moment, more than 2 dozen large battleships from both sides spewed deadly fire dragons! The roar of more than 200 large-caliber guns resounded like thunder throughout the battlefield! Only two years after the end of the war, a large-scale fleet artillery battle broke out in the distant Pacific once again, and the fleet also composed of the world's most elite and most terrifying war machine issued a doomsday roar to its enemies! A battle that determines the direction of the future war has finally begun!

Accompanied by bursts of violent vibrations, the flames roared out from the long barrels. The shock waves produced by the artillery shots even formed huge waves on the sea. The battle lines between the two sides stretched for several kilometers. The fireballs are connected into a line, like a fire dragon running vigorously on the sea. Hundreds of tons of steel staggered through the air, and then flew into the distance with howling! After dozens of seconds, the fleets of both sides were surrounded by dense water columns!

"Long shot, reduce the firing table by 300 yards, test fire again!" The gunners on both sides could not see their opponents. They were like mechanical parts beside them, integrated with their own weapons. They received the fire control system. Data, and then working in a closed turret, the artillery weighing hundreds of tons was again placed at the specified loading angle, the huge breech block was opened, and then with the help of the servo equipment, the shells weighing hundreds of kilograms and the number The package of propellant is sent into the barrel in turn. Finally, an automatic push rod will load the cannonball and the propellant together, the tail is closed, the huge artillery adjusts its angle according to the new data, and finally fires!

The dual-shot rangefinder keeps tracking the target of their choice, the huge artillery keeps using tons of steel to correct its trajectory, and everything is shrouded in fire and smoke. Only Titans can participate in such battles. , And a large number of destroyers hid on the non-combat side like cowering soldiers. They waited for an opportunity, an opportunity to use their lives to save the war!

　　 Boom! Three minutes later, the distant King Kong was hit first. Even if it was more than ten kilometers away, after zooming in 40 times with the rangefinder, the Germans could still clearly see what happened just now, a 15-inch shell. Accurately hit the front deck of the King Kong, a black smoke column tens of meters high burst out of the fire, and the No. 1 turret below was covered by gun smoke and flames. If nothing else, this turret should be complete. Scrapped.

　　 "3 minutes? It's okay." Raidel said calmly. The officers and men under him were indeed very powerful. In this battle line battle, Mecklenburg made the first main gun hit! Nimitz next to him congratulated his German allies and promised to return to the port. Every German naval officer aboard the Mecklenburg would receive a gift, but Raidel's face was still cold, because he knew, In this no-frills head-to-head battle, the Japanese fleet will be hit sooner or later!

　　 "Boom!" With a loud noise, Rydell cleansed and saw the fourth-ranked battleship New Mexico's side string exploded and shot a huge fireball! After the explosion, a large amount of off-white water vapor was mixed in the gunpowder and gushed out from the side of the hull, and it has a growing trend.

"What a bad luck!" Raidel said with a sigh. The shell just now must have damaged the steam pipe of the New Mexico, and it is a very important pipe. Otherwise, the high temperature and high pressure water vapor will not be able to keep going out. As for getting the New Mexico out of the battle line, the resulting smoke was enough to interfere with the performance of the rangefinder at the top. In addition, the New Mexico’s fire control system had been damaged during the battle on Taragen Island. In the next battle, this warship equipped with 12 14-inch guns performed worrisomely!

Another hidden danger comes from the US Navy’s flagship USS Colorado. Because of the bombing, Colorado’s No. 2 turret was severely damaged and was judged to be unsuitable for combat missions. Now, although after several days of repairs, according to the technical staff It is said that it is available now, but because of the damage of the servo equipment, the walking situation of the two artillery is also a bit worrying!

Raidel looked at the back row again and observed the battle between the two Japanese dreadnoughts and the armored cruiser in the back row with a telescope. After collecting intelligence from the seaplane, Raidel also had a general understanding of the situation in the back row. The two new armored cruisers of Jr. Fletcher and Hanoi fought, and the accuracy was not satisfactory, but the performance of the other three old armored cruisers was very bad. According to the telegram from the seaplane, the three old armored cruisers His long-distance walks can be described as terrible!

　　 Although the U.S. Navy and the Japanese Navy fought back and forth on the battlefield, in Riddle's view, the hidden dangers of the U.S. fleet are far greater than those of its opponents!

　　 Just as Riddle was looking at the entire battlefield, Mecklenburg's Mecklenburg once again hit the distant battlecruiser King Kong! Two shells hit the first super-intrepid Japanese ship within one minute. One shot hit the front of the hull, and the other hit the gun gallery in the middle of the hull. The violent impact and explosion caused two 6-inch guns. Cannon destroyed. And the Nevada behind Mecklenburg also took advantage in the fight against Hiei~www.wuxiaspot.com~ A 14-inch shell hit by Hiei before did not cause damage to the thick-skinned Nevada, and A 14-inch shell from the Nevada destroyed a chimney of the Hiei, and billowing black smoke gushed from the breach, seriously interfering with Hiei's shooting. And the Rydell’s kilometer Arizona was evenly matched in the battle with the battleship Ibuki, but the tie was a bit embarrassing. Until now, they have not hit each other....

　　 "Your Captain, we hit the enemy again, and it won't be able to fight back under our blow!" an officer said to Yamaguchi Takamori.

"This warship should be the one that was damaged on Taragen Island a few days ago? The damage to the optical instruments can not be repaired on the battlefield. We are like fighting an enemy with a bad eye. At this distance, the opponent's attack is inaccurate, and it is normal for us to suppress the opponent." Yamaguchi Ryuomori said as he looked at the opponent's fall point that could be described as unreliable.

"The other party has no threat to us at all. I don't think we should waste ammunition on this unthreatening target." Yamaguchi Ryuomori picked up the telescope and looked at the distant target again, but this time he was not looking at the New Mexico. It was the battleship behind the New Mexico, the Colorado. Although he did not know that the Colorado was the flagship of the US fleet, he thought that if he could work with the Nagato to kill the most advanced new warship of the US Navy. It might be better!
