The "Nagato" battleship is the first powerful battleship built by the Japanese navy after thest World War with a main gun with a caliber of up to 410 mm. When it waspleted, the discement was as high as 33,000 tons. However, three years ago, this battleship underwent arge-scale modification, not only adding arge number of anti-aircraft weapons, but also further thickening the armor, causing the discement to soar to more than 43,000 tons.
The powerful defensebined with the powerful main gun made the battleship ''Nagato'' a first-ss capital ship in the world.
However, the captain of the battleship ''Nagato'', Colonel Tokunaga, is about to go crazy.
Cannonballs are falling around the battleship ''Nagato'', and the jet of water sshed from the sea almost drenches the entire battleship. Although they have been modified and their defense has been greatly enhanced, if they are hit by theserge-caliber main gun shells, they will still be severely damaged or even sunk. What''s worse, the enemyunched an attack, but they didn''t even know where the enemy was. This feeling was about to drive him crazy.
"Baga! Where did the Germans hide? Where are they?" Dazuo Tokunaga cursed.
This is also to me for the bad luck of Dazuo Tokunaga, who made their position at the forefront of the entire fleet, which made them the first attack target of the battleship formation of the German Navy''s Pacific Fleet. Five "King-ss" battleships and three "Derfflinger-ss" battlecruisers are all focusing their fire on it. In each round of salvo, as many as 72 armor-piercing projectiles weighing one ton were dropped. This kind of firepower is undoubtedly very fierce.
"Master Tokunaga, calm down. The German battleship is very far away from them, and it is not so easy for them to hit us!" Lieutenant General Koga Mineichi,mander of the 3rd Battleship Team of the United Fleet, learned After the status of Lieutenant General Tokunaga, he deliberately used a radio call to remind him. As one of the four battleships of the 3rd Main Fleet, Lieutenant General Koga Mine didn''t want thebat power of the battleship ''Nagato'' to be damaged so quickly.
"Hi, General!" Colonel Tokunagai quickly replied. At the same time, he gradually calmed down.
"Sir, the gship ordered us to form a battle line and prepare for battle!" said the staff officer.
"Follow the gship''s order!" Colonel Tokunagai ordered. At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief. After forming the battle line, the battleship ''Nagato'' should not be at the forefront. In this way, they may not be besieged by the Germans again. After all, in the main fleet, there are several battleships that are stronger than the battleship ''Nagato''.
"Hi, sir!"
Under the surprise attack of the German navy, the main fleet of the ind navy was shocked. But then the main fleet of the United Fleet, which calmed down, immediately began to prepare for the battle.
Under themand of Vice Admiral Yoshida Zengo, 12 capital ships will form a battle line. The four battleships of the 3rd Battleship Squadron were in front of the line of battle, the four battleships of the 1st Battleship Squadron were in the middle, and the four battleships of the 4th Battleship Squadron were in the rear.
Although Lieutenant Admiral Koga Mineichi, themander of the 3rd Battleship Squadron, had someints about this, he did not show it on the battlefield. After all, this is an urgent battle. If he dares to disobey the order, Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo will definitely not let him go. It might even be possible to use him as a scapegoat. Therefore, even if you are dissatisfied, you can only endure it temporarily.
The battleship ''Nagato'' began to turn, trying to join other capital ships and join the battle line. Their position should be the third in the battle line.
However, it is a pity that the battleship "Nagato" seemed to have bad luck. It not only became the first attack target of the battleship formation of the German Navy''s Pacific Fleet, but also became the first target to be hit.
A 380mm shell hit the side of the battleship Nagato hard. The 305mm side armor was easily torn apart, leaving a big hole. A 140mm secondary gun was also destroyed, causing a raging fire.
When the battleship ''Nagato'' was being refitted, although its defenses were strengthened. However, the waterline armor and side armor have not been thickened, and are still 305mm. The deck armor and turret armor were thickened to be able to deal with attacks from enemy aircraft.
"Quickly put out the fire!" Colonel Tokunagai shouted loudly.
If the fires cannot be extinguished, this makes them the best targets under the night sky. However, at this moment, the capital ship of the German Navy is still 28 kilometers away, almost out of sight, and the soaring mes cannot be seen.
The radar waves emitted by the artillery sighting radar continuously scan the battleship ''Nagato'', and then transmit the data to each main turret, so that these main turrets can be readjusted after each shot to ensure that the impact point is far from ''Nagato'' The battleship HMS was getting closer and finally hit the target.
Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo couldn''t help feeling tense after witnessing the battleship ''Nagato'' being hit.
"Damn it, why are those old warships of the Germans so powerful? Even the ''Ki-ss'' battleships are absolutely impossible to hit the target at such a distance. Those old battleships that have been in service for more than 20 years , but has such an ability, it is really unbelievable!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo waspletely shocked. This result waspletely beyond his expectation. Originally, he thought that even in a confrontation with the main fleet of the German Navy, they could easily win. However, the current facts gave him a p in the face.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion erupted on the battleship ''Nagato'', and the mes almost enveloped the entire bow of the ship. A 380mm artillery shell prated the bow armor of the battleship "Nagato", exploded inside the battleship, and caused a fire at the same time.
In the following, shells hit the battleship ''Nagato'' almost every minute.
Although these attacks were not fatal, they made the battleship ''Nagato'' very embarrassed, and the entire superstructure even burned, as if it were a huge torch under the night sky. Many sailors on the battleship had already been killed during the battle. Almost everyone believed that if this continued, the battleship ''Nagato'' would be sunk soon.
The old warships of the German Navy''s Pacific Fleet showed unbelievably powerfulbat power at the beginning of this duel.
