The combined firepower of the two Sunsky Battleships couldn't even match up to a single heavy cruiser. In other words, the main character of this battle was still Wei Chenghong's flagship, the Prideful Sky Battleship.
People had identification, and so did ships. Wei Chenghong's fleet didn't have a ship's registration at all, which was the so-called illegal household.
"Commander, the other party did not respond to our radio.”The communications controller said to the commander of the sub-fleet, Shankou. Shankou's flagship was the highest number.
He was using binoculars to observe the Prideful Battleship. According to his memory, he had no impression of that warship. After all, there were only a few battleships in service in the Japanese Navy.
"I've never seen that battleship before. The cruiser should be a Heavenly Dragon class, and the destroyer is Ruo Zhu and Hai Feng. That must be the Empire's navy.”Yamaguchi did not think that the other party was an enemy. Warships had never been stolen before, so the possibility of the other party being an enemy was slim.
The distance between the two sides was gradually closing. At this distance, the cannons of both sides could hit each other's heads in less than ten seconds. If they were closer, it would be a fight of daggers.
"Let's begin. The Pride and the Sun will focus all their firepower on the enemy's first heavy cruiser. We must sink it as quickly as possible. The destroyer will be responsible for keeping the enemy's destroyer busy. We can't let them rush over and release torpedoes on the flagship.”Concentrating fire on a single target was common sense in naval warfare. Wei Chenghong knew that as long as he could obtain a numerical advantage, victory would naturally be easy.
As for the enemy's transport ships, it was fine if they did not attack. No matter how fast they were, they could not be faster than the destroyer. Moreover, their route was blocked, so they could only choose to turn around and run.
The movement of the turrets would naturally attract the attention of the Japanese navy. It was a very obvious battle action. At this time, the quality of the Japanese navy was very high. Before the officers above had even spoken, many Japanese sailors had already begun to take their positions.
They would rather this be a misunderstanding than ignore this danger, even if the other party was flying the same military flag as them.
The Aotian's cannonballs rotated very slowly. In comparison, the open-air turrets of the Japanese and Heavenly warships were much faster. The torpedoes were also ready to fire.
"Aim and fire." Other than the main cannon of the Pride, all the firepower of the seven warships hit the top ship. At such a close distance, coupled with the first-class quality of the system navy, there were very few missed shots. This made Wei Chenghong admire the spectacular scene of his first naval battle. The high-explosive bombs ruthlessly beat the top ship into a pig's head. Even if it was a heavy patrol, after eating so many shells, it was not much better. Many parts of the ship were burning.
"Beautiful, but the counterattack is very fast.”The Sunsky No. 1, which was 800 meters away from the Prideful, also suffered a round of concentrated fire from the enemy. The old-fashioned armor could not withstand the attack of the new armor-piercing bullets, and it was blasted with several holes. Its speed was obviously reduced greatly, and it was already beginning to get flooded. However, the gunners on the ship did not give up fighting. They continued to use the four cannons to attack the topmost Heavy Patrol.
The secondary cannon had already fired two rounds before the three turrets of the Proud Heaven were finally aimed.
The formation of both sides was roughly in the shape of an eight, with the flagships leading the way. The Japanese navy had suffered heavy losses and basically had no combat strength left. They were already preparing to withdraw from the battlefield.
Even if it was a heavy patrol, they would be unlucky to encounter a battleship at such a distance. There were eleven secondary cannons on the right side of Aotian, which were excellent in both air and ground attacks.
"Open your eyes wide. If anyone can't hit it, I'll throw him into the sea to feed the sharks.”Sun Wanghua laughed coldly. If the most heavily injured player had taken six 356mm shells from the Pride, he would have been half-dead even if he didn't die.
"Fire!" Sun Wanghua shouted. Due to the volley of shots from the main cannons, the Prideful Heaven had a huge tremor. Wei Chenghong, who had never experienced this before, lost his balance and fell into Hengshan Tatami's arms.
Everyone could clearly see the trajectory of the cannonball. Yamaguchi, who was on the top, closed his eyes. This ship was finished. He could hear that the main cannon of the other party's battleship was the same as the Vajra class. It was a Type 41 continuous cannon produced by the empire. Even if the armor on the top could withstand it, it would probably be useless.
The arced shell fell from the sky and hit the deck of the topmost ship. Wei Chenghong, who had just gotten out of Tatsumi's shower, saw a turret in front of the topmost ship being blown up into the sky. It flew high into the air and finally fell into the sea, splashing a large amount of water.
A notification came from his phone. He had sunk an enemy ship, letting Wei Chenghong know that the ship was finished.
"Commander, Captain Ma of the Sunsky No. 1 requests to abandon the warship. The Sunsky No. 1 is going to sink.”The communications controller said to Wei Chenghong.
"It's going to sink. Are you kidding me? It's too weak.”Wei Chenghong didn't expect the old-fashioned warship to be so fragile in the face of the new warship. He picked up the binoculars and looked back. The Suntian-1 had begun to tilt greatly. Even the gods couldn't save it.
"Let them abandon the ship. After the battle is over, we will gather them. The enemy wants to escape, so we can't let them go.”If they let the Japanese navy escape, there would not be such a good opportunity next time.
The intense artillery battle and the rising smoke attracted the attention of many merchant ships. However, when they saw that both sides were flying the Japanese flag, they were puzzled. Was the Japanese navy having an internal conflict?
The four Good Day Destroyers had already begun to accelerate, and the enemy's Destroyer had also begun to turn around and flee. As for the troop-carrying ship, it had already turned around and fled the moment the battle began. It had already run almost 10 kilometers. The troop-carrying ship did not have much equipment, and its armor was pitifully lacking. Most importantly, there was a division of Japanese soldiers on board. If the ship sank, these guys would probably not survive.
"Don't turn your back to me, or else be careful of your heads.”The captain of the Proud Sky, Sun Wanghua, suddenly said this. The navy was the same as the army. When you left your back to the enemy, it was equivalent to putting your life in the hands of the enemy.
"Take off the reconnaissance plane immediately. Order the Ritian 2 to immediately focus fire on the enemy's heavy cruisers. Turn the helmsman around and give it your maximum horsepower.”As soon as he was in a good state, Sun Wanghua directly ignored Wei Chenghong and directed the fleet to attack the enemy's Gaoxiong. No one in the bridge was stupid. Everyone could tell that Wei Chenghong was a rookie in command.
Although he was deprived of control, Wei Chenghong was not unhappy. As long as he wanted to give orders, the people in the fleet would naturally listen to him. However, in terms of experience in naval warfare, he was just a novice. It was good to learn from Sun Wanghua's command of the fleet. No one was born to fight. A mature naval officer had to enter the naval academy for many years and then practice on a warship before he could be assigned a position. He wanted to be a captain. One had to have high qualifications and abilities.
The captain of an aircraft carrier, in particular, not only had to meet the requirements to become a navy captain, but he also had to be an aviator. He had to have extremely high flight time and the number of aircraft carrier takeoffs and landings. There were only a few people who met these requirements.
