You people are out of your mind when you fire artillery at this distance. Haven't you ever participated in a battle before? That's why we use artillery fire to boost your morale now. If this is really the case, then what will happen to you in this battle? The battle must not be won.
Just when the sailors of the Rakshasa Empire were laughing at the warships of the Daqian Empire, they suddenly found a water column rising next to them.
Although they were still more than three hundred meters away, everyone knew that this should be the first correction of the position. When their second wave of artillery fire came over, the shells might have hit their warship.
"How is this possible? Are they all devils?"
Mihatovich couldn't believe what he saw in front of him. In his impression, no one's artillery could hit that far.
Even the most advanced warships in the West can only hit about fifteen kilometers at present. They can never hit that far. They are indeed far away from the advanced countries in the West, but this distance will never be that big. And how did the people of the Daqian Empire have this ability?
In fact, this is also the first time that the navy of the Daqian Empire exposed the range of their main guns. When they were fighting in the Dongdi Kingdom, the fleet of the Dongdi Kingdom had no chance to go out to sea to fight. They were held down and beaten violently by us in the port. After a while, as for using cannons to bombard some buildings on land, we did not expose the farthest range just for this day.
"Target the opponent's flagship, fire volley..."
Wang Baichuan personally issued the order, and the five 203mm heavy guns located on the bows of the six heavy cruisers fired shells at the same time.
Each cannonball weighs one hundred and twenty kilograms and is filled with high explosives. If it hits the flagship of the Rakshasa Empire, it will definitely be enough for them to drink a pot.
More than thirty rounds of artillery shells roared past in an instant. The artillerymen didn't care what the consequences of these shells would be. They had to quickly reload the next time.
"The target deviated 120 meters and hit the enemy warship No. 1085."
The observer does not know the name of this warship, and his task is not to find out what the name of this warship is. He only needs to adjust the coordinates for the people below.
Although this warship is not the flagship of the Rakshasa Empire, its tonnage and attack power are the same as the flagship. At this moment, this guy is really unlucky.
The target of the Daqian Empire's fleet was the Rakshasa Empire's flagship, and there was no thought of what to do with this guy. He happened to be near where the shells fell, so two shells hit directly and one shell hit the rear turret. , another shell hit the island.
"No need to adjust coordinates, continue bombardment."
Wang Baichuan also saw clearly that since the opponent has formed a horizontal line, we can continue to attack as long as our position remains unchanged. Destroying the flagship can put pressure on the opponent's fleet, but there is no need to miss this opportunity.
When the second shell was fired, the people in the Rakshasa Empire fleet were already blinded. How long had passed, not even half a minute at most, before the opponent was able to launch a second salvo. What kind of speed is it?
If our heavy cruiser maintains its fastest speed, it can fire at least three shells per minute. Of course, this is just a theoretical data. Once our soldiers are proficient, it will be no problem to reach this data in a short time, but Normally, it's okay to fire two shells per minute.
The fleet of the Rakshasa Empire could only fire one shell per minute, which was the best record. If there was a slight delay, it would most likely have to be fired every two minutes.
"Warship No. 1085 was hit again, and the coordinates were adjusted one degree to the left."
As the observer's voice came over, it meant that there was no need for the warship to continue to fight. If it continued to fight, it would be a waste of shells. From his position, the warship was everywhere It was all thick smoke, and there were flames rising underneath the thick smoke. Even though it was not silent yet, it had stopped.
Thick black smoke envelopes the fleet of the Rakshasa Empire. This is not a good thing for the fleet of the Daqian Empire. It will reduce our visibility a lot.
Of course, because of the stop of warship No. 1085, the following warships fell into chaos. If their command system was very perfect, there would be orders to tell the following warships at this moment. Unfortunately, the command system is now in chaos. The following warships are in chaos. Some of the several warships turned left and some turned right, which brought us a lot of opportunities.
"Gather five destroyers forward to release torpedoes."
In this case, most of the opponent's warships have already fallen into chaos, and our destroyers can come into play. If it was absolutely impossible to send out the destroyers just now, the opponent's warships still maintain their formation. Combat power is no joke. If your destroyers were sent out just now, they would be delivering food to others.
Already prepared, the destroyers drew a very beautiful wake. They maintained a high speed of thirty-two knots and quickly rushed in front of the heavy cruiser. Of course, the heavy cruiser did not rest. According to the target they had assigned before, Fiercely release cannonballs forward.
Wang Baichuan finally realized that the navy cannot be developed in a day or two. Even though our hardware facilities are much better than the opponent's, our hit rate is not very high. We usually practice so diligently, but on the battlefield Still can't perform well.
No wonder many navy seniors have said before that the usual training results are completely different from the battlefield results. As long as you can perform 80% of the training results, you are not required to have any extraordinary performance, then this You will definitely win this battle.
The light cruisers can also take credit. Although they all have 155mm artillery, because the power of the shells is relatively high, it also caused a lot of losses to the opponent's fleet. They were unable to penetrate the opponent's main force. warship, but it can sail towards other warships.
Mihatovich looked at his watch. Only forty minutes had passed and the entire Rakshasa Empire fleet was in chaos. If they had followed their previous thoughts, now should be the time to set up their formation and suppress the prisoners. Is this how military warships fight?
