Chapter 864

There are many factors that can interfere with whether a shell hits the target. When firing, whether the firing data input by the gun is correct or not, and whether the shell encounters wind in various directions in the air, etc. On naval warships, it is also necessary to calculate whether the warship is swaying and how the enemy ship is moving when firing. This series of factors make it extremely difficult for the navy to hit the opponent. It is often found that it fails to hit the opponent after dozens of launches.

However, in many naval battles, the participating warships hit their opponents with a few classic volleys, completing the naval battle examples that are forever recorded in history. What do they rely on? Besides the strict and hard training of sailors and the precise aiming equipment on warships, another indispensable factor is faith.

Yes, it's faith! Believe in God, Buddha and brother Xinchun. No matter what you believe in, you pray constantly when you fire. There will always be unexpected things: either this shot is far away, or this shell hits the target. In a word, something will happen. This is the power of faith. No matter whether you believe it or not, many people believe it.

In fact, the US fleet is not a small destroyer fleet, but a forward fleet composed of three cruisers and three destroyers. Not far behind this force, there is a larger fleet. Their purpose this time is not routine patrol, but to challenge the joint fleet of the Japanese Navy.

These Japanese don't know. Their three destroyers showed three pitiful signals on the US cruiser, which made the US Navy determine that there were only three lambs waiting to be slaughtered. So the three cruisers and three destroyers in the lead accelerated their advance and had a direct confrontation with the Japanese destroyer fleet. The Americans intended to cover up the fact that their troops entered the Marshall sea area, so they willingly launched a artillery battle against the Japanese, which the Japanese are good at.

But when the first ranging shell of the US Navy hit the side of a destroyer of the Japanese Navy, all the naval officers standing on the bridge of the US Navy and watching the battle with binoculars were stunned by the brave shot of their own gunners. How could the first gun be nearly lost and almost killed the opponent?

However, such a good start has improved the morale of the navy soldiers on the US warships. All those who know about this matter cheered. For a long time, the US Navy destroyer sub fleet was defeated by the Japanese Navy destroyers. Today, it is a small mouthful.

Then the American Gunners adjusted their firing angle according to their usual training, and fired their second gun today. No one thought of what kind of result this shell could make. This is the same as most people who have prepared for the higher education entrance examination all their lives and would not feel that they can be admitted to Tsinghua University.

It was only at this time that the U.S. Navy realized that its first shot had not hit the other side because it was too unimaginative. Because the shell hit the bridge of the Japanese destroyer in an impartial way, and the fire was visible more than ten kilometers away.

It's like spending 100000 to buy a car, only to open the canvas and find that it's a brand new Porsche Cayenne; It's like a newly married girl suddenly knows that she is actually married to the eldest son of the local rich. The soldiers of the U.S. Navy now feel that they are very men in this second, and they are very happy in this second.

The Japanese Navy on the other side is a bit bitter now. They have heard that the US Navy has some skills in the end. The accuracy of artillery combat is not as good as that of the strictly trained Japanese Navy. They can even say that it is not a rival of the Japanese Navy at all.

The snow wind destroyer is a new ship that Japan has just served for a short time. Because the captain, Kenjiro OTA, is too young to be the commander in chief of the destroyer's patrol fleet, at this time, the flagship was blown up into a pile of sinking scrap iron. Kenjiro OTA was so scared that he didn't know what to do.

He looked at his first mate and didn't know whether to order the ship to turn around or to fire. On the other hand, the signal for help from the flagship also made him feel that he should lean over and rescue the friendly soldiers who were already about to soak in the water.

"Zhongzuo! Zhongzuo! What should we do now? At this time, we should continue to fight! It's not the way to go in this way! " The first mate is more experienced. He has served on other warships and participated in some operations in Nanyang, so he is the most experienced officer in Xuefeng bridge.

With such a reminder from the first mate, Kenjiro Kita Nakasone remembered what he should do. He quickly gave the order to continue fighting and not to retreat: "speed up! Ready for torpedo launch! Long live the Empire of Japan! I will never die with the US Army! "

After hearing this order, everyone felt that their future was the death of the widow and the hopelessness of their son. In the case that the flagship has been shot and sunk, it is absolutely a suicide choice to compete with the superior US forces on the opposite side. But at this time, the Japanese Navy was holding the resentment that they could not fight a decisive battle. When they heard the captain's order to fight to the death, no one raised any objection.

"At this time, it's unreasonable for us to put down our comrades who were sunk by the enemy and not go to rescue. We'd better turn the bow and go back to rescue." Finally, when everyone thought he was going to die here, the first mate said what he thought.

So the sergeants began to nod their heads and echoed: "our brave comrades are still struggling in the water. This is not the time when we will die together with the enemy by virtue of a moment of resentment. We should save people first, salvage the friendly soldiers, and then make a fuss." Smart people all know that if you turn the bow to save the friendly army, you'll have to worry about nothing. You'll probably pick up the lucky ones and then run away. However, there are few people who want to be the big culprit at this time. Especially on the destroyer Xuefeng, there are few people who want to kill themselves for the sake of the Empire. It was only for a while that Kenjiro OTA gave the order of fighting to the death. Looking back, he also felt that he should not be buried in such a small battlefield. In order to remain useful and continue to contribute his strength to the Empire, he did not oppose the chief mate's words. He just sipped his mouth and thought in silence. In the end, reason conquered madness. He looked at his first mate and all the personnel on the bridge, felt the shells of the US Navy's large caliber naval gun hitting on the sea not far from him, and finally issued a new order: "tell the friendly ship that our ship is turning, and the combat content is changed to rescue the fallen friendly army! Ask them to provide cover! " Hearing such an order, everyone was obviously relieved. Because of the small tonnage of the destroyer, the speed of turning around was not slow. The sharp bow of the destroyer tilted to one side as it cut the waves on the water. Because it was to save people, not to die, everyone showed 120% enthusiasm, and the speed of the boat seemed to be faster. Another Japanese destroyer was not a fool either. They saw another Japanese warship, Xuefeng, turn around, and then they turned their bow and signaled that they wanted to cover Xuefeng's retreat together. So the two Japanese Navy destroyers were fierce from the beginning, and in a twinkling of an eye they became scurrying“ Baga road! Where is this to cover us? We are running faster than us On the bridge of the destroyer Xuefeng, Kenjiro Feitian looked at the friendly destroyer and turned the bow with them almost at the same time, making a big break. It seems that not only the destroyer Xuefeng wants to survive, but also another destroyer is doing the same thing. In this sad situation, there was no time to rescue the fallen friendly soldiers. Kenji Feitian zhongzuo also had no confidence. So when he turned the bow half way, he launched all the torpedoes that could be launched as usual, hoping to buy himself more time. Of course, the destroyer of the friendly army did the same thing. The Japanese army finished its attack task by firing nearly 20 torpedoes at one go. Then the snow wind began to speed up its turn and move closer to the position of the sunken ship of the friendly army, making the appearance of rescuing the people who fell into the water. However, although Xuefeng wanted to save people and leave, it couldn't do better than another destroyer. The Japanese destroyer sent a light signal to Xuefeng, a signal that "the US warship is approaching", then it made a big circle and accelerated to escape from the sea. This makes Kenjiro Feitian have an impulse to curse his mother. The destroyer Xuefeng under his command somehow prevaricates in the name of saving people. The other party doesn't even want to face and directly chooses hongguoguo's escape strategy“ Baga road! fuck! Baga The angry green faced Kenjiro Feida knows that without the protection of friendly forces, his ship suddenly slows down, which will definitely make the US warship catch up with and sink. Now if he still wants to save people, he can't even die in battle. He just disguises himself as a target for the US warship to hit. As a result, Kenjiro OTA had to give up his plan to rescue the friendly troops and yelled: "speed up! Get out of this sea! Send a telegram to marshal Yamamoto! Let's say we found the American fleet. " As for the Japanese sailors in the water, everyone seems to have chosen temporary amnesia. Standing on the bridge, one punch hammered on the railings. Kenji Feitian looked at the friendly troops in the water and swore loudly: "damn Shiyu! He ran faster than me
