Chapter 1060: Independent School Three Yuan
"Yo Xi! Miyari-kun, you're doing a pretty job! The Yamato battleship is worthy of the pride of the Yamato nation. Please continue to maintain such attack strength and accuracy. I believe that those damn shore defense turrets will be wiped out in a short time!"
Through the telescope, Takenaka Ri clearly saw the shelling effect. Although the specific effect could not be confirmed, he was very confident about the power of the 460mm main gun of the Yamato battleship!
Captain Miyari Hide proudly said, "That's natural. The main gun of the Yamato battleship is the most powerful naval gun in the world at present. No ship or fortification can withstand her attack!"
This is true. The three three-unit 3-mounted 94 460mm naval guns installed by the Yamato battleship are the largest caliber naval guns in human history and the most powerful naval guns in human history.
Compared with the 406mm caliber 50 caliber gun equipped by the US Navy Iahua class battleship, it is in an advantageous position in terms of armor-piercing projectile weight, initial muzzle velocity, and range.
The 460mm armor-piercing blasting bomb on the Yamato battleship, the initial velocity of the shell exceeds 900 meters per second, which is more powerful than the explosion of the current anti-ship missile.
Hitting the deck will cause the aircraft carrier to lose its combat effectiveness. One shell is enough to cause large surface ships of cruisers to be severely damaged and lose their combat effectiveness or sink. Medium surface combat ships such as destroyers and frigates will be sent directly to the seabed as soon as possible, which shows the huge power of a 460 mm weighing 1.5 tons of shells.
So even though Yang Fancai was very generous and the turret of the opposite shore anti-cannon was super thick reinforced, if he was hit by 460 mm continuously, even if he did not directly hit the vital point, he could not withstand a few shots even if he hit the outer wall of the turret!
Thanks to the fact that Yamato battleships did not dare to get too close, the attack distance was as high as more than 30 kilometers, and the artillery accuracy was greatly reduced. Otherwise, the coastal defense guns around the mouth of the Xidang River would not be able to withstand the Yamato battleships at all!
"The target distance is 35,000 meters and 853 meters, with three scales southeast and south, with thirteen wind speed and northwest and northwest!"
"Repeat it, the target distance is 35,000 meters and 853 meters, the direction is three scales southeast, the wind speed is 13, and the wind direction is northwest and northwest!"
"A test shot! Prepare and fire!"
“…”
After receiving the order, the observers of each turret quickly calculated the specific location of the Japanese Yamato battleship.
Immediately afterwards, more than ten super-caliber coastal defense cannons turned their guns one after another, locking their targets at the Japanese Yamato battleships that were firing wildly in the distance.
Bang bang bang bang, each of the turrets spewed out long flames and roared in shock, and heavy artillery drew beautiful arcs in the sky.
"Bagaya Road, the damn Chinese coastal defense cannon has launched another fire attack!"
A series of dazzling fires flashed, and Captain Miyari Hide suddenly became alert and quickly said to Takenaka Ren: "Commander, it's no longer safe here. Please return to the command cabin immediately!"
"It's okay! The Yamato battleships of the Great Japanese Empire are powerful battleships in the world, with unparalleled defense!
Not to mention whether the Chinese coastal defense can hit this place from such a distance, even if you are lucky enough to have a few shells hit, the Yamato battleships of the Great Japanese Empire can easily resist it."
Takenaka Lian was in a state of great excitement, so he was not willing to return to the cabin to avoid it.
"Your Excellency Commander, what Gong Lijun is worried about is reasonable. Please return to the command cabin as soon as possible!"
The Chief of Staff of the Special Mixed Fleet, Nakatani Shin also felt that it was unsafe and quickly helped to persuade him.
"Soga! Then let's go!"
Looking at the small black dots flying rapidly in the distance and listening to the heart-pounding sound of artillery shells coming from far and near, Zhu Zhonglian did not dare to continue to show off and immediately went down the pole.
Although the initial velocity of the shore defense artillery shells exceeds 900 meters per second, due to the long range of the artillery shells, the speed of the shells will gradually decrease during flight, and the flight speed will not take long to be lower than the speed of sound.
Moreover, the shells are still parabolas, and the sounds are spreading in a straight line. If the shells are far away, the sounds of the shells whistle or even the sound of the shooting can be reached in one step, giving the targets the attack has the opportunity to listen to the sound and identify the position to avoid.
"Hurry! Commander, please come in and ask!"
The more I heard that the more I felt something was wrong, I hurriedly supported Zhu Zhonglian and ran towards the cabin.
More than ten seconds later, when these old Japanese had just run into the cabin, the heavy artillery that came from afar finally landed on the ground and blossomed, exploded wildly on the sea around the Yamato battleship, splashing huge waves into the sky.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A blind cat can also encounter a dead mouse, not to mention that this test shot has been carefully calculated. This fire-gathering test shot has three heavy artillery hit the Japanese Yamato battleships.
Two of them hit the armor on the side of the ship, and one hit the armor on the deck. Three groups of rolling smoke rose into the sky, the sound of the super decibels of the sky, the explosion of super pressure shock waves and the fragments shot from all sides formed a death storm.
The armor on the side of the hull was blown out of two craters of varying depths, and a large crater was blown out of the deck. Although it failed to blow through the deck armor, it also caused great damage.
More than a dozen Japanese artillery soldiers at the explosion center were directly bombarded into pieces and torn into several pieces scattered all over the ground. For a moment, blood rained all over the sky, and red and white were everywhere.
The Japanese soldiers who were a little further away survived fortunately, but either had broken arms or had severe internal injuries in their ears, leaving only half of their lives.
In addition, the death storm caused by the explosion caused considerable damage to several nearby sub-cannons and hull buildings.
There is no doubt that the old Japanese such as Zhuzhong Lian, who were not far from the landing point of the shell, did not evacuate in time, and this 280mm heavy artillery could definitely take them away in one wave.
I have to say that the Japanese Yamato battleship is really thick-skinned. Although they won three yuan in one breath, they only hurt the fur. If they were replaced by small tonnage ships such as destroyers, frigates, gunboats, etc., these three-point heavy artillery is enough to make them either dead or disabled.
The armored belts equipped by the Yamato, according to the design requirements of the battleship, the armor of this class of ships can withstand the shelling of its own 460mm main gun at a distance of 20 to 30 kilometers, and are hit by two torpedoes or several heavy bombs, which will not affect the battle.
The front protective shield of the main turret on the ship is 650 mm thick, 410 mm armor on the side of the ship, and 230 mm armor on the edge of the deck.
The armor on the top of the defense zone is laid on the middle deck of the battleship, with a thickness of 200-230 mm. The front and rear ends of the defense zone are protected by a 270-350 mm thick armored cross-district.
The armor arrangement of the entire Yamato ship is the thickest type in the history of the entire battleship. The armor belt has been strictly designed and processed, and the oblique design greatly improves the elastic resistance of the Yamato ship's armor.
Otherwise, it would never be so easy to get out of these three large caliber heavy artillery guns.
