Chapter 430 Armor Piercing! Armor Piercing!
"Sir, the irradiation radars are all destroyed, and we cannot guide the naval guns to attack."
"Sir, the helicopter hangar has been destroyed, and an sh-60b is stuck at the exit of the hangar. We cannot launch the helicopter to attack the enemy."
"Sir, the enemy is on the island and reef 1,500 meters away, but we don't have any weapons to fight there now."
The moment the first flare was extinguished, Captain Francis' heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
The "Arleigh Burke" destroyer, which cost more than one billion yuan, is a sharp weapon for the United States to sail all over the world. How many high-tech weapons are concentrated in this ship, how many countries envy it, how many countries dream of owning it!
This is the backbone of the U.S. Navy, the embodiment of the power of the United States to check and balance the world, and the confidence of the white people in the West to show off their power. But this kind of sharp weapon of the country lost his temper after being hit by a cannon?
What about the Aegis system that monitors the sea? Sorry, that's for anti-aircraft drops!
What about the extremely powerful Tomahawk cruise missile? Sorry, that thing can't hit the target that is close at hand.
What about the sharp and terrifying 'standard' anti-aircraft missiles? They all said it was an air defense drop!
What about the anti-submarine helicopters that overwhelm them? The unlucky one was broken up before leaving the hangar.
Now the nearly 10,000-ton warship has been disarmed in this way, and only a small number of sailors are holding rifles and firing indiscriminately in the direction of the artillery fire. It's like a kid shooting a water gun, it's just hilarious. A few flying bullets can't even be a deterrent, it can only show the fearless spirit of the American sailors in the face of danger!
Hmm..., there is no way to avoid fear, where can you escape if you don't resist on a ship, can't you jump into the sea?
"Captain, what should we do now?" At a critical moment, the people on the entire warship could only count on Captain Francis' decision.
"Hurry up and ask for help from Changi Base in Singapore, tell them that we are under attack, and let them send planes to kill that artillery immediately." The captain is already in a state of desperation, the powerful battleship is forced to this point by an artillery, It is simply a great shame.
If someone told him to be careful when going out today before the shelling, the captain would definitely throw this person out. Who has the mighty America been afraid of? And now..., he would definitely question God, why did such a disaster happen? Doesn't God bless America?
However, the captain's request for help was not easy to implement. A bunch of officers on the bridge even cried: "Captain,
Our radars and antennas were blown out, and we couldn't reach Changi base. "
"Then look for a maritime satellite phone, where's the satellite phone, where's the phone?" The captain was going to die of anger. This place was attacked not far from the door of his base, and no one would believe it!
But where can I find a satellite phone at this hour and a half? Just when the crew on the bridge was sweating profusely, the second flare was thrown into the sky. The officers and men of the "Larsen" were almost desperate. It seemed that the bombardment hadn't been played yet!
And just now it was the explosive grenade that washed almost the entire deck of the ship. Now which damn artillery has changed its bomb type. It changed armor-piercing shells!
The m46 cannon is a kind of artillery that can shoot directly, and can shoot directly at the tank when necessary. However, since the birth of this artillery, it has never hit a tank at all. But it doesn't matter, the tank can't hit it, and today there is a bigger guy to make it hit-the warship.
In fact, compared to tanks, warships are much easier to fight. The target is so big, you can hit it with your eyes closed! The most wonderful thing is that modern warships are no better than battleships, cruisers, and destroyers during World War I and World War II. Today's warships have no armor. Because no matter how thick the armor is, it cannot prevent the attack of anti-ship missiles. It is better to save some armor in exchange for higher speed.
So Zhou Qingfeng's first armor-piercing projectile was aimed at the power compartment in the middle of the hull, where the four lm-2500 gas turbines were installed. As a result, an armor-piercing projectile was easily shot in, and a working gas turbine was immediately reimbursed.
The engine room is the key point of a warship, and the consequences of shelling in this place are extremely serious. The captain had originally ordered the engine room to run at full speed, requesting to hurry through this dangerous strait, but now that one gas turbine is reimbursed, the power has been reduced by a quarter.
What's more terrible is that one round after another of the shells kept coming in, from the beginning to the end. Zhou Qingfeng aimed at the bow of the 'Larsen', and then desperately loaded and fired. One shot, two shots, three shots, four shots, five shots, as the warship advanced, a row of holes were punched on the side of the ship.
However, the U.S. military officers and soldiers could not fight back, nor could they retreat, so they had to bite the bullet and charge forward, hoping to rush across this dangerous sea area quickly. And the helmsman in charge of driving desperately adjusted the direction of the ship, trying to get as far away from the White Reef as possible.
It's just that in a crisis situation, where does it say to avoid it? In the confusion, Captain Francis became cruel and ordered the warship to hide on the other side of the Ocean Princess. To put it bluntly, he used the huge cruise ship as a shield.
"Speed up, speed up, speed up even if there is one less gas turbine." The captain, who is constantly being bombarded, has no regard for humanitarianism. He just wants to stay away from any terrible artillery on the island. Civilians will be killed or injured, he doesn't care.
The 'Larsen' began to accelerate as soon as it was bombarded. The destroyer was so powerful that it soared to more than 30 knots in an instant, quickly closing the distance with the Ocean Princess.
But sometimes the situation backfires, the more you want to hide, the more you can't escape. An armor-piercing projectile hit the stern of the "Larsen", shot downward after a collision, and finally got stuck on the steering gear under the water at the stern.
"Captain, we can't change the voyage anymore."
"what?"
"Maybe our steering gear is stuck."
"If the steering gear is stuck, let me rush forward."
"But ahead of us is the Ocean Princess."
Almost instantly, danger fell on the cruise ship that had been watching the incident. The destroyer rushing up at high speed originally wanted to use the cruise ship as a shield, but before it maneuvered in place, the steering gear stuck and it crashed directly into the Ocean Princess. past.
It didn't take long for the sharp bow to split the side of the cruise ship, and the nearly 10,000-ton destroyer was inserted into the interior of the more than 100,000-ton cruise ship. After a crackling and distorting sound, at least seven or eight decks of the cruise ship were destroyed, and a large number of cabins behind the decks became shattered.
It's over, it's really over now, I don't know how many people will die on the cruise ship. And the "Larsen" that got stuck couldn't get away at all, because the captain of the Ocean Princess was afraid of leaking and sinking the ship, so he simply sailed to the coast near the channel, preparing to run aground.
At this time, Zhou Qingfeng was also exhausted from the short-term high-intensity continuous bombardment. He stopped bombarding the "Larsen", but took his own tool bag and staggered off the helicopter platform on the island. , and walked towards the motorboat he was driving when he came.
"Bastard, do you know how powerful I am? If you dare to steal my money, I will kill you!" Zhou Qingfeng started the motorboat bitterly, and the roar of the engine brought him to pull the boat stuck on the Ocean Princess The USS Mori sailed away.
Land on the warship, I'll get the money back! (To be continued.)
