Chapter 1292
"Fuck!" As soon as the destroyer Ukaze, who thought it was hidden, rushed out, he saw a huge meteorite-like fireball flying towards him. In less than 1 second, a huge water wave came from here. The battleship rises less than 20 meters away from the left string! The entire battleship seemed to be retreated by a pair of giant hands and slid to the right.
The shock wave produced by the explosion of the high-explosive bomb hit the tail of the destroyer. The rudder at the tail was like paper, shattered by the sea water mixed with shrapnel, and a propeller was also destroyed by the shrapnel! The destroyer Urakaze, which had originally planned to win by surprise, was destroyed by the flying disaster.
Afterwards, the destroyer Urakaze, which lost control, began to drift with the flow, and its slender hull was directly exposed to the side-string gun array like shark teeth. The distance is so close, and because of the fire of a nearby transport ship, the lighting is very good, so good, in this case, who will not hit you? !
The four 150MM guns and three 88MM anti-lightning guns on the left string of Scharnhorst quickly aimed their muzzles at this Eastern Japanese sword!
"The barrage should be thicker! Those Junkers said we were not strong enough just now!" a gunner in the gun station shouted loudly. What responded to him was the roar of his men and even more frenzied battles! As a result, with four 150MM guns at a rate of fire of up to 10 rounds per minute, Pufeng completely knelt...
At the same time or even at the same time, 5 huge fireballs rose on this hapless Japanese destroyer! A destroyer with only a few millimeters of hull is as fragile as a small tree struggling in the storm. A few minutes later, with a loud noise, a pillar of fire tens of meters high rose from the sea. At this time, the captain of the Gneisenau discovered that his warship was at war with a destroyer... ...
"What happened?" the captain asked.
"A destroyer touched it just now, and it was killed." The deputy captain said lightly, as if killing Pu Feng just now was such a humble thing.
Just when Gneisenau increased its record to 5 ships (including the destroyer Urakaze.), the Scharnhorst, who was relatively late, had the most brilliant record today! Su Xiong's flagship directly caught the personnel carrier Awamaru at the tail of the team! This is a 7,000-ton passenger ship with 2,000 Japanese army officers and 1,500 Japanese laborers preparing to go to France. Originally, they thought it would be the safest and fastest to be escorted by the battleship of the invincible Great Japan Navy's combined fleet. However, what is unexpected is that most of these people have embarked on a path of no return. !
Originally, Scharnhorst didn’t notice this goal because Awamaru’s position was relatively forward. However, when the captain of the ship asked the ship to speed up and quickly escape the battlefield, the 140-meter-long hull quickly sailed from the sea. The movement caused by the past immediately attracted Su Xiong's attention!
Awamaru could have a speed of 15 knots, but when faced with a fast German battleship, this speed was still too slow! This fast cruise ship, with its beautiful hull and a lap larger than other ships around it, became the target of the German battleship's fire!
The two huge twin turrets on the bow of the Scharnhorst aimed at a target 9800 meters away. With the firing order issued, the four artillery guns simultaneously ejected a dragon of more than ten meters long, and the shells roared towards the target. The distant target, ten seconds later, four huge water jets wrapped the target battleship!
In the second round of the salvo, Scharnhorst’s main gun made the first hit! A 635KG high-explosive bomb directly hit the huge superstructure of the Awamaru and penetrated all the way. It exploded after entering the bridge!
With the fuze igniting the charge, more than 50 kilograms of picric acid explosives detonated instantly, and tens of thousands of shrapnel and flames flew around! Even other Japanese ships a few kilometers away could observe this explosion. Inside the hull, a bright ball of light suddenly appeared, and then the middle of the superstructure was directly torn into countless fragments by the huge shock wave! A huge pit appeared on the Awa Maru.
This shot just hit the restaurant of the Awamaru, and at this time, hundreds of people were having dinner. This time, directly more than three-digit people had the last dinner... After the bomb exploded, the flames spread around the teak deck of the ship, because it was a luxury cruise ship. There are a lot of decorations on it, and these decorations are all flammable products. Under the yellow-green flame caused by picric acid, the flame spreads around like a green snake!
The Awamaru was struggling towards the depths of the night, and the broad and sturdy bow ran across the sea, and even smashed many Japanese officers and soldiers who had fallen into the water on other ships into pieces! But unfortunately, no matter how hard it struggles, the final outcome is certain! Scharnhorst was close to 7000 meters when it was closest. At this distance, Scharnhorst’s starboard secondary artillery was fully fired, and a series of orange fireballs roared against the poor transport ship. A series of explosions came from the hull, the cracking of the deck, the sour noise of metal twisting, and the hysterical wailing of the dying people, turning this ship into a real hell!
"We seem to be attacking a ship transporting people." Raidel frowned as he looked at the Awamaru in the distance.
"If there are only us and our opponents on this battlefield I don't mind stopping after the opponent surrenders, but now, the two Japanese capital ships are nearby. We have no choice but to kill them!" Su Xiong paused and then said somewhat self-deprecatingly: "Perhaps after today, the Allies should call me Marquis of Blood, right?"
"Then you must first be granted by His Majesty the Kaiser." Raidel joked.
"Other kingdoms can also canonize marquis, but you are a good suggestion. I will consider operating it." Su Xiong said with a smile. This thing has nothing to do with morality. The opposing personnel carrier is also a military goal. If you don’t surrender, you will sink you. As for the rescue after sinking, it depends on the situation at the time. If the German fleet is in a dangerous situation, naturally there will be no sooner. Moral accusations. After all, the soldiers must fight first. After Bismarck was sunk in history, the British left immediately because they were worried about the attack by the submarine.
Happy time is always so short. When Awamaru broke into a few knots with flames and sank into the sea, Kanji Kato's main fleet finally arrived...
There are two changes today. Three shifts tomorrow~~~! To tell you the truth, it's sad to make an order later--!
