Seeing the white flags hoisted on several passenger ships, the Patriot Army showed no mercy. As the artillery shells were loaded, 18 127mm secondary guns took the lead in roaring, followed closely by 36 76mm high-level guns.
"Boom! Boom!"
Artillery shells of various calibers fell on the four Fuso passenger ships one after another. With earth-shaking loud noises, the explosions produced dozens of surging fireballs.
The blazing shock wave accompanied by hot shrapnel rushed across the passenger ship, instantly annihilating the Japanese on board and tearing them to pieces.
Since there were only a few passenger ships with a displacement of 1,000 tons, the bombardment ended in a hurry after a while. The sea surface was illuminated red by the flames, and the billowing smoke rose into the sky like an overwhelming sandstorm.
Seeing that there were still a small number of remaining Japanese, Li Mizi jumped into the sea to survive. He subconsciously clenched his fists without any regard for benevolence, justice and morality. "Old Deng, you said that we should deal with the Fusang Kingdom. This kind of wolf-ambitious nation that has a blood feud with us, how can we deal with it?" Are you merciful?"
"Haha, if we hesitate now, we are disrespecting those compatriots who were killed by the Fusang people." Deng Shichang was not Guanyin Bodhisattva, not to mention Lu Xiaojia had already said that he would not leave anyone alive.
"First mate, let the Marines on the cruiser take action and kill those livestock in the sea!"
Tooth for tooth, this is the way of the Chinese people, how you deal with me, I will deal with you, as for the bullshit international convention, go away.
"Report, captain, Commander Zeng of the Army's 2nd Armored Division just sent a message to ask if we have arrived at Jiaozhou Bay and when we can start bombarding Biaohupo."
Deng Shichang and Li Mizi smiled knowingly, "First send a message to Brother Zeng and others not to approach Biaomapo. The power of our naval guns is no joke. Also, let the seaplane take off immediately!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Hundreds of Marines stood sparsely on the decks of the four cruisers. "Brothers, those Japanese in the sea are actually trying to attack us with wooden planks, lifebuoys and other weapons. Kill these Japanese!"
"Aim at the target and hit me hard!" After saying that, hundreds of GeW43 sniper rifles and more than twenty MG34 general-purpose machine guns presented crossfire, aiming at the drowned Japanese, regardless of gender, old or young, and opened fire.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Clear gunshots were heard one after another on the sea. The surviving Japanese on the passenger ship thought they could escape by jumping into the sea. Unexpectedly, the Patriot Army really killed them all.
At this moment, they were all like lambs to be slaughtered. After being shot, many Japanese howled and struggled for a few times on the surface of the sea, and finally sank to the bottom of the sea without looking back.
On the battleship, a pilot and an observer proudly climbed onto the OS2U-3 Kingfisher hydroplane, which had been placed on the metal slide rail at the stern of the battleship, and quickly took off with the help of a catapult.
Although the two South Dakota-class battleships are equipped with SC sea search radar, later SK-2 air search radar, MK8 fire control radar... this kind of black technology from World War II, these are naval warfare equipment and are of little use for land support. .
So at this time, the seaplanes carried on the ship come into play. They can fly over the target and provide shooting elements for the main gun's first calibration.
After the initial calibration, the impact area of the main gun after firing can also be observed.
The observed bomb impact point information is then quickly fed back to the crew of the ship's fire control system.
The crew then used the fire control computer to constantly adjust the main gun firing factors based on the battleship's own speed, orientation, roll, pitch, temperature, wind direction... and other conditions.
The pilot skillfully flew the seaplane, circled over the battleship, then pulled the operating lever and roared to Biaomapo, about 30 kilometers away.
…
On the shore, along with the explosion of the civilian dock, everyone in Qingdao City was attracted.
Seeing the passenger ship burning with flames in the sea, Ushijima Kimichi and Kamio Katsumi, who were wearing casual clothes and about to run away with buckets, looked at each other in shock.
Don’t think that Fuso’s senior officials won’t run away or surrender just because they talk about Bushido every day.
This is like taking off your pants and farting. The so-called bushido spirit is purely a brainwashing method used by Fuso senior officials to give people on the street at the bottom.
Let those low-level people on the road die under the enemy's gunfire like drugs, while I rely on my high position and authority to hide directly in the back, drink red wine and enjoy the fruits of victory.
After the end of World War II, the Fuso Kingdom was liquidated by the Allied Powers. As a result, look at how many of the truly powerful people died when they were tried by the International Court of Justice?
The two Fuso generals who were about to run away stared blankly at the six majestic warships floating on the deep sea surface of Jiaozhou Bay, like giant steel dragons, and the blood-thrilling naval guns. .
Kamio Katsumi came back to his senses, sighed heavily, and covered his forehead with his hands: "I really didn't expect that China, a country with weak industrial power, would actually have battleships. This is really a ghost!"
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Lu Xiaojia mobilized the battleships to deal with Biaohupo, right?" Ushijima looked at Biaohupo in horror, "If this is the case, the 124th Regiment cannot stop the Patriot Army at all. ."
"The battleship only needs one salvo to easily demolish the corridors and hidden fortresses in Biaohu Slope, burying thousands of our imperial warriors in the rocky soil!"
Although Ushijima and Kamio were in the Army, they were no strangers to battleships, a powerful weapon that symbolized maritime power. Their thick armor and surging firepower were far beyond what the Army's weapons could match.
When Kamio Katsumi saw the soldiers on the cruiser using the Fuso residents as targets, his face was ferocious and his eyes were blazing, as if he wanted to burn the people to ashes, "Ushijima-kun, you see our passenger ship has been sunk by the Patriotic Army, but They actually shot at the drowned immigrants frantically, which is really abominable!"
…
At the same time, the OS2U-3 Kingfisher seaplane also roared to Baohupo and began to hover in the sky. The observers began to provide shooting elements for the battleships on the sea through radio.
After receiving the order, two South Dakota-class battleships were floating on the sea.
A shrill alarm sounded, the crew quickly evacuated into the cabin, and the deck was quickly cleared.
The high-power motor placed under the turret began to roar, and the three huge triple 406mm main turrets on the ship began to rotate slowly.
Triple Mark 6 45x caliber 406mm main gun
In the end, they all rotated about 90 degrees, pointing the nine Mark 6 45-caliber 406mm main guns at the Baohu gun. The thick barrels pointed straight into the sky, which was daunting. After adjusting the artillery elevation angle.
The ammunition storage tray in the ammunition supply room deep in the hull also began to rotate when the motor was started. Several AP8-type 406mm artillery shells weighing 1,220 kilograms quickly passed through the layers of cabins through the bomb conveyor and were lifted to In the triple main gun turret on the deck.
The gunner pressed the metal operating lever, and with the help of the chain loader, the heavy shells were quickly loaded into the chamber. The charging hatch opened and six silk cloth bags that were thicker than a human rolled out. The loaded guns are stuffed into the breech one by one, and then the screw breech is closed.
In the command room of the ship island, Deng Shichang was a little ready to make a move and looked at Li Miz expectantly.
And Limitz couldn't wait to throw cannonballs at the Fuso people's heads to see if their so-called bushido could withstand the bombardment of 406mm naval guns.
As the crew reported that the preparations were completed, Deng Shichang immediately issued the bombardment order.
"This is our first actual combat. Don't let me off the hook. After the test firing, let the gunnery officer, observer, computer soldier, sighter, and gunner cooperate with each other to bombard the Fuso Army with salvos."
"Yes, Captain!"
In the No. 1 turret on the bow of the two battleships, the gunner pressed the firing button, followed by a roar that resounded through the sky like a dragon coming out of the sea.
The picture shows a salvo of three 406mm main guns
The propellant in the gun barrel was instantly ignited, turning into an overwhelming high-temperature and high-pressure gas. The propelled 406 mm shell rotated at high speed along the rifling, and rushed out of the muzzle with thunderous momentum.
"Boom!"
The muzzle storm released at the moment when the cannon was discharged quickly spread out and spread towards the sea like a river, setting off turbulent waves on the sea. The frenzy slapped on the ship like a golden bell ringing, sonorous, sonorous, Very rhythmic.
