Chapter 175: Shelling of Warships


The commander of the artillery regiment of the military headquarters had already received the order of the army commander, and when he heard that Zhou Wu had directly ordered him to fire, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came back to his senses, since Zhou Wu had called in Mingyu, it meant that the situation ahead was urgent, and if it was a little slower than half a beat, the fighter might be fleeting.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked Zhou Wu the specific location of those devil targets, Zhou Wu held a telescope in one hand, and used his thumb in the other hand to visually inspect the devil warship on the river that was emitting black smoke and was maneuvering desperately, and at the same time reported the location parameters of the devil warship to the artillery commander.

After receiving the approximate location of the devil warship provided by Zhou Wu, the commander of the artillery regiment of the military headquarters immediately ordered a 150 howitzer under his command: "The target azimuth is 15 degrees to the right, and the distance is 13 kilometers, and one test shot will be fired."

Fire" The 150 howitzer made an earth-shattering bombardment sound, the smoke of gunpowder spread over the artillery position, and the thick muzzle with the flames that erupted sent the 150 mm warhead to the devil warship 13 kilometers away, Zhou Wu clearly saw in the telescope that the cannon shell exploded fifty meters next to the injured devil warship that was maneuvering back and forth desperately with black smoke, setting off a large column of water that soared to the sky, "It's a pity, it didn't hit."

It's a little bit worse to fight a devil warship.

Zhou Wu secretly regretted in his heart.

You must know that at such a distance, using a 150mm howitzer to hit a high-speed moving warship target like the devil, the first shot can hit only 50 meters away from the devil's warship, which is already quite remarkable, and it can be said to be quite accurate.

Zhou Wu immediately informed the commander of the artillery regiment of the military headquarters of the location of the latest devil warship and the landing point of the cannon shell just now, and after receiving it, the commander of the artillery regiment quickly made a decision to adjust the shelling parameters in the shortest possible time according to the speed and orientation of the devil warship provided by Zhou Wu, and with the issuance of a series of passwords, several 150 howitzers and several other 100 howitzers of the military headquarters quickly adjusted the new shelling parameters, and only waited for the regiment commander to give an order, and all opened fire on the devil warships on the river in front.

At this moment, those devil warships on the river were a little confused by the artillery bombardment of the national army, they were just busy dealing with the national bombers overhead, fortunately dodged in time, although they were hit by several aerial bombs, but fortunately there was no big problem, seeing that when the national military planes in the sky returned from dropping bombs and left, suddenly a row of shells flew over from the Huashan position, and exploded around the warship, and a destroyer was unfortunately hit by shells, igniting billowing black smoke, The commander of the Devil warship immediately ordered the wounded warship to immediately maneuver and retreat to avoid the inexplicable artillery shells from the Huashan position.

Just when the devil warship was roughly locked onto the Huashan position and was about to retaliate for the artillery bombardment there, a large-caliber shell suddenly flew from another direction and exploded next to the destroyer that was evacuating at high speed, so frightened that the commander of the devil warship immediately ordered the cancellation of the shelling of the Huashan position, and all the warships withdrew from the range of the national artillery shelling at high speed.

Before the devil warships moved to move, the large and small howitzers of the artillery regiment of the military headquarters opened fire on these devil warships that were ready to evacuate, and in the face of those cannonballs that suddenly came from the land, the devil warships were at a loss, so they had to maneuver to dodge, but several warships were hit by shells, igniting billowing black smoke.

Zhou Wu saw that exciting scene in the telescope, and excitedly shouted on the radio: "Well hit, keep fighting, sink them" The commander of the artillery regiment of the military headquarters heard Zhou Wu's shout, and knew that a few shells had hit those devil warships, and his strength also came up, so he immediately adjusted the shelling parameters and issued an order to continuously and rapidly shell the devil warships.

So there was another desperate shelling, which made the devil warships that were desperately fleeing out of range mess up their own positions, and in a panic, they hit the destroyer that had been shelled before, and knocked the destroyer out of a big hole, and the river water immediately poured into the hole, and saw that it was not saved.

Zhou Wu saw in the telescope that the wounded devil warship was about to be sunk, and he was very happy, he was afraid that the artillery regiment of the military headquarters would open fire for too long, and it would be easy to cause the devil planes and warships to retaliate, so he immediately ordered them to cease fire immediately.

Zhou Wu immediately contacted Zhai Daping on the side of the Jiangyin Fort, and asked him to quickly inform the commander of the battery of the location parameters of the devil warship, and asked him to hurry up and come to him a few guns while the devil warship had not yet run out of the range of the battery, even if it couldn't hit the devil warship, it was good to scare and scare these bitches.

As soon as Zhai Daping received Zhou Wu's order, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately informed the commander of the garrison of the Jiangyin Fort by phone, and the commander of the garrison was also anxious about the artillery battle on the river just now.

Fuck the hell a few shots.

Soon the commander of the battery found that only the two 305 mm cannons on the far right of his battery could hit the ghost warships that were fleeing outward, and the cannons on the other emplacements could not fire at those warships due to geographical limitations.

At this time, he saw from the observation scope of the fort that those devil warships on the river were fleeing in a hurry to the mouth of the Yangtze River, and if they hesitated and hesitated like this, they would not be able to hit anything, and they could not continue to rub like this, even if they only had two cannons to reach, they had to knock the devil warships hard, that is, they would hit the river and scare the devils, so that they could taste the taste of being bombed.

The commander of the battery immediately issued an order to the two 305-mm cannons to fire at the fleeing devil warships on the river: "Two 305 guns pay attention, target the devil warships on the river, eight rounds of rapid fire, fire" The two 305-mm Krupp cannons had already set the shelling parameters, and when the battery commander gave an order, they opened fire violently, and the two cannons took turns firing at the devil warships on the river, and the large-caliber shells roared out of the huge gun chambers and flew towards the devil warships that were fleeing from the mouth of the Yangtze River in a hurry.

I saw a burst of water column rising to the sky, and these large-caliber shells exploded on the river next to the devil warship, and the huge air wave set off a high column of water to wrap those devil warships tightly, seeing Zhou Wu secretly applauded, and secretly shouted in his heart: "Good fight, if you hit it more accurately, such a large-caliber shell is enough for these devil warships to drink a pot." ” With the impact point of the first shelling, the regimental commander of the battery also saw the situation just now in the artillery observation scope, and he immediately ordered to change the parameters of the shelling, asking the two cannons to immediately change the parameters and quickly fire at the devil warship.

The brothers on the turret quickly changed the angle and direction of the gun breech, and soon the second wave of shells immediately rushed out of the breech and flew towards those devil warships, one of the large-caliber shells correctly landed on a devil warship that was twisting its ass back and forth and carrying out a serpentine maneuver, "boom" A loud sound, a flame mixed with black smoke rose on the deck of the warship, and a hole the size of a round table was blown up on the devil's warship, and the devil warship quickly stopped moving.

Coupled with the large column of water that kept rising next to it, it desperately rushed towards this devil warship, and soon a large amount of river water poured into this devil warship, which had been seriously damaged, and it began to be unable to support it, and slowly tilted to the left, and it looked like it was about to sink to the bottom of the river.

The commander of the battery saw it clearly in the observation glass, he saw that this devil warship was about to sink, and he thought to himself that this time he must not let it go back alive.

In order to increase the range of the attack, he ordered the other four or five other cannons of various calibers near the two 305-mm cannons to fire at the side of the devil warship.

Now it was very lively, a total of seven or eight cannons of various calibers on the turret fired at the devil warship that had been beaten to the ground, and there were constantly large-caliber shells exploding next to the devil warship that was about to sink.

A huge wave of air set off a huge column of water that soared into the sky, swinging the devil warship back and forth like a toy, and several of the shells exploded on the warship, rising flames mixed with thick smoke.

Soon, this devil warship finally couldn't withstand the combined blows of these batteries and cannons, and capsized to the left, taking advantage of the deep bottom of the Yangtze River, causing a whirlpool and big ripples on the water surface.

Those devil sailors who abandoned the warship and jumped into the river before the warship sank were swept away by the rushing river and disappeared without a trace. t1706231537:
