Chapter 1300： More wolves kill leopards 2 (1/2)
Slide 1300
The Japanese officers and soldiers on the destroyer Chuxue swiftly counterattacked, but soon, the other two 4.7-inch guns and one 3.1-inch gun were shattered into pieces by the direct hit high-explosive shells along with their battery! In the case of a sudden attack, the destroyer had no chance to find the target at all, so that even now, it has not scored a hit!
However, it was a pity that the First Snow had no chance of hitting anymore. The rain-like shells fell on or around this unfortunate destroyer at a rate of at least 30 rounds per minute. The close combat and fighting of the light warships were **** and cruel. The Germans did not even use torpedoes, and they turned the destroyer into a burning dragon.
The gun position was almost completely destroyed 5 minutes after the battle. More than half of the people on it were killed or injured. The power compartment had been shut down, the ammunition compartment was urgently filled with water, and the steering engine compartment at the rear of the hull was broken into pieces. The battleship tilted 20 degrees. Even if the Germans stop shelling from now on, the ship is destined to never return.
”Give me a signal to my brothers. Let's move faster. This guy is dead. There is no need to waste cannonballs. Leave the cannonballs and torpedoes to the transport ship!” Major Hexing looked at the distance that had been destroyed. Ordered after the destroyer Hatsuki.
As a result, the first thing that the Japanese naval destroyer unit thought was ”disgraceful” was born. A 1,200-ton destroyer was killed by two submarines. Yes, you read that right, they are two ships. After being knocked to death by a sap, the Japanese still believed that they were attacked by two destroyers. In fact, U175 and U177 were separated from the Japanese by night and friendly forces. The perspectives are almost overlapping. Afterwards, the Japanese Navy was still studying why two submarines would have such fierce firepower... (Nonsense, two ships can be regarded as one, can the firepower be fierce?)
However, the matter did not come to an end. The three German submarines did not happily slaughter the transport ship after they killed the First Snow. Just after the three submarines passed the maimed Chusuki (the stingy Germans were not even willing to make up for a torpedo...). A rather unexpected thing happened. From behind the German submarine team, another Japanese destroyer Shimakaze suddenly killed!
This is a destroyer with a displacement of more than 900 tons, equipped with one 4.7-inch gun and three 3.1-inch guns. His arrival came with a certain degree of contingency. However, this contingency made all German submarines uncomfortable. The Japanese destroyer forces were very wild. They dared to engage in close combat at night, sneaking up, and then using torpedoes and artillery shells. Killing opponents between lightning and flint is the Japanese favorite thing to do.
Shimakaze did the same. At a distance of 2,300 meters, Shimakaze first attacked the destroyer U196 on the side! Fierce and precise! Shimakaze rushed straight up to the opponent at a speed of 25 knots, rushing past the German submarine obliquely like a fierce Cossack hussar.
One shell landed around U196, and even two shells landed on the position of a 105MM artillery on U195 and was scrapped. Another 3.1-inch cannon hit the control tower, blasting the top communication antenna and periscope to pieces.
”Aim at that guy right away, hurry up, U196 will not be able to hold it!” Major Hexing was also taken aback by the destroyer Shimakaze that had run out halfway. Naturally, the anti-strike ability of the submarine is not comparable to that of the destroyer, but it is good. Now there are 2 destroyers on my side. There will be damage if they die, but it will not be defeated, right?
