Chapter 16 Japanese Ships Escape

Further behind are two ships, informing ships Ryuta and Asami gunboat Atago.

Both ships only have a displacement of more than 600 tons. Although the Atago carries a 10mm caliber cannon, the hull is all made of ordinary steel plates and does not have a piece of armor, so the defense is extremely poor, especially the double 100mm caliber cannon on the Xiangyang ship, and the 76mm naval cannon on the Yueyang ship is more than enough to deal with these two ships.

As a result, the Yueyang ship first attacked the Longtian guns first. The dense artillery fire almost knocked the Longtian into a sieve. The sea water rushed in from the gap wildly. Seeing that the Xiangyang ship would not fire, the Longtian would not work.

The Longtian was sunk by the Yueyang ship's naval guns, which made Wang Hailong proud. Honestly, the three rounds of artillery just now had real results. The Xiangyang ship was the Xiangyang ship, which also made the officers and soldiers on the Yueyang ship feel very stubborn, because in the Chinese Navy, the Yueyang ship is the main frigate and the main participant in most military exercises. It can even become a member of the aircraft carrier formation and escort the aircraft carrier; while the Xiangyang ship has gradually retreated to the second line, its main function is to cruise near the coast. Generally, high-level military exercises will not be required to participate. Moreover, the Yueyang ship's comprehensive combat power is one generation ahead of the Xiangyang ship. When the officers and soldiers of the two ships meet, the soldiers on the Xiangyang ship must lower their heads.

Although I have the opportunity to participate in actual combat, it is an old-style naval gun battle. As a result, the Yueyang ship's performance was obviously not as good as the Xiangyang ship. How could the officers and soldiers on the Yueyang ship be convinced? However, the sinking of the Longtian this time made the officers and soldiers feel a little relieved.

However, after sinking the Dragonda, the remaining Atogo was of course given to the Xiangyang ship, and the victory was won, but Wang Hailong still had this vision, not to mention that this was just the first battle after the time travel. There was still a chance to make the Yueyang ship clear its name in the future. When the Yueyang ship was able to show its strength against tens of thousands of tons of battleships, it was time for the Yueyang ship to show its strength.

After receiving the command from the Yueyang ship, the captain of the Xiangyang ship Xie Fuzhan couldn't help laughing and said, "It seems that Captain Wang did not call him Dushi, so he left us a copy."

Deputy Captain Jin Kewen said: "Since Captain Wang left the Atago to us, don't let Captain Wang down. We should show off and see how many shells are sunk Atago."

Political Commissar Li Chao put down his telescope and said with a smile: "It's so awkward that I can hear it when I sink the Atago. Before crossing, our Chinese Navy, only the Kunming ship, can challenge the Atago, and we are tied to the Yueyang ship, are not the opponents of the Atago."

Although in this era, Atago was just a shallow-water gunboat with a displacement of only 615 tons, which was inconspicuous at all, in another 21st century, Atago was very famous. It was a missile destroyer built by the Japanese Self-Defense Force on the basis of the King Kong-class missile destroyer, using the Aegis system of the American Arleigh Burke-class destroyer. Therefore, it is called Japan's Aegis destroyer, and is also one of the most advanced missile destroyers in the world. It is also the main opponent of the Chinese Navy in Asia. Before the fleet crossed, only the 05d missile destroyer known as the second generation of the "Chinese Aegis" missile destroyer, that is, the flagship Kunming ship in the fleet, can compete with it.

Xie Fuzhan said: "The name of the new ship using the old ship is a naval tradition. In fact, there is another warship in Japanese history called Atago, which is the heavy cruiser of the Japanese Imperial Navy and the Kaohsiung-class ship during World War II. Before that, Japan also built an Atago, which was the ship of the Atsushi-class battlecruiser planned to be built after World War I. However, due to the limitations of the Washington Naval Treaty, the ship disintegrated before it was completed. Therefore, Atago is the most commonly used warship name in Japan."

Jin Kewen laughed and said, "No matter how many Atago ships he was, as long as they were not the Atago of our era, we could destroy the other Atago ships in minutes, and start with this Atago ship."

Just as a few people were chatting and laughing, the Xiangyang ship's naval guns opened fire again. This time, the Xiangyang ship's naval guns were single-shot mode and double-shot fired volleys. The first round of shells fell ten meters to the port side of the Atago, stirring up two water columns more than ten meters high; and in the second round of shelling, one shell hit the stern of the Atago ship.

At this moment, the 10mm main gun on the Atago opened fire, but the shells only landed more than 300 meters away from the Xiangyang ship, stirring up a water column more than ten meters high. Just as the Atago was firing, the Xiangyang ship opened fire again. This time, both shells hit the Atago. One shot hit the bridge and the other shot hit the ship's side, which caused serious damage to the Atago and the hull was obviously tilted.

Immediately afterwards, the fourth round of artillery shells of the Xiangyang ship all hit the Atago. The hull was tilted at a high angle, and the Japanese soldiers on the ship jumped into the sea to escape, just like laying dumplings.

However, although the two ships were sunk, the other three cruisers, Akitsusu, Akishishi, and Sumo, all intersected with Yueyang and Xiangyang ships, and gradually distanced. Although these three cruisers suffered varying degrees of damage, they were all within a range that they could withstand. At this time, they all drove at full speed and headed in the opposite direction of Yueyang and Xiangyang ships, obviously intending to leave the battlefield.

Although Iwasaki Master is determined to make achievements, he is still a clear-headed captain after all. After a round of fire exchange just now, Iwasaki Master knew in his heart that these two strange-shaped warships seemed to have weak firepower, but the artillery had extremely fast firing speed, long range, and outrageous accuracy. Therefore, there was no way to continue this battle. While the two sides were staggering, they did not escape the battlefield and wait for when. As for the sunken Ryuta and Atago, they could only endure the pain and give up.

At the same time, Iwasaki Master was a little lucky. Fortunately, the two warships were not equipped with many artillery guns. If there were more than a few more guns, the three cruisers would probably be in danger in the battle just now.

After temporarily leaving the battlefield, Iwasaki Master breathed a little relieved, while the Japanese soldiers of the three cruisers were all busy, rushing to repair the damaged warships.

Although the Akitsushi was first beaten, the hull was not damaged much. Although there was some water seepage, it was controlled by the time the Akishishi was damaged by the soldiers. As for the Akishishi, the damage of the Sumoshishi was much worse. The front deck of the Sumoshishishi was almost completely destroyed, but the power was not damaged. The time the soldiers were damaged by the time the water seepage was blocked by the time the water seepage was blocked by the time the Akishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishi.

However, one of the boilers of the Akashi was damaged and their speed was greatly reduced. In addition, a large amount of water in the ship was probably pouring in dozens of tons of sea water. Captain Masashi Oda had to order to put thirty tons of sea water on the other side to keep the hull balanced. However, the speed was slower. Originally, the fastest speed of the Akashi was twenty knots, so it could only drive at a speed of about twelve knots. Oda Mosashi personally led the soldiers to speed up repairs and plug leaks.

However, at this time, Iwasaki master had some leisure skills and could think about the battle just now. Although he didn't know who the opponent he had encountered was, his attitude towards being an enemy of Japan was very clear, and the opponent obviously had mastered some advanced technology that could improve the effective range and shooting accuracy of the artillery. Perhaps this technology was not mature. It can be inferred from the fact that only one single and one double artillery installed by these two warships, it should have a strong experimental nature. Now among the world's great powers, most countries and Japan have had good relations. Even if it is not good, they cannot be broken. Only Russia has a very serious conflict of interest with Japan in the Northeast China and the Korean Peninsula region, and the contradictions are quite deep. It is difficult to make these two warships built by Russia, and Russia has developed an advanced artillery technology? If this is true, it will be too unfavorable for Japan.

It should be that Iwasaki Master Iwasaki is indeed a naval officer with quite quality. His inferences also have certain logical reasons. It is just that because the times are too different, his inferences are far from the facts, and he goes further and further along the wrong path. Therefore, Iwasaki Master Iwasaki's mind was first made up his mind and must report to Japan immediately after he fled back to Dagukou and let the country prepare early. Of course, he must first escape back to Dagukou safely.

However, although Iwasaki master thought well, the Yueyang ship and Xiangyang ship would not let these three Japanese ships go easily. Wang Hailong immediately ordered the two ships to turn and pursue the Japanese ships. He must sink all the three Japanese ships or capture them. He must not let them escape back to Dagukou.

At this moment, Wang Zhenqing, the lookout who was on duty on the watchtower, reported: "Captain, there are still some Japanese soldiers in the sea, what should I do? Should I save them?"

It turned out that although the Atota, which was sunk in the previous round of battle, was only a ship with a displacement of more than 600 tons, each ship had more than 100 soldiers. Although most of the soldiers sank with the warships, and some soldiers died under artillery fire, some soldiers ran out of the cabin and jumped out of the sea to escape. At this time, there were about thirty or forty Japanese soldiers struggling in the sea.

Wang Hailong had nothing to say yet, political commissar Cai Ning said: "Captain, I think we should go to save these Japanese soldiers. First, it is humanitarian, and second, the headquarters also has orders to capture as many enemy soldiers as possible."

Although most modern Chinese people have no good impression of Japan, their education and ideas do not allow them to stand by death like this. Just like Wang Hailong, although he kept calling Japanese soldiers "Drugs", and when he heard that he wanted to go to war with the Japanese fleet, he had no objection to the rescue of the Japanese soldiers who fell into the water, he said, "Okay, put two lifeboats down to save people, we will still chase those three Japanese warships. The main business cannot be delayed."
