    Some people say that a duel between giant ships and cannons on the sea is like a face-to-face charge of heavily armored knights in the Middle Ages, full of romance with blood and steel temperament!  Charge against the artillery fire, face to face as the artillery shells from the opposite side come roaring like raindrops. That kind of fearlessness, that kind of burst of the most courageous temperament of mankind, is the true essence of the giant ship and cannon doctrine of this era!

    No matter who said this, it is obvious that they have not been to a real battlefield!

    ??In modern battlefields, can artillery shells be seen?  This is obviously nonsense!  The super cannon's shells, which are several times faster than the speed of sound, leave behind in the human senses apart from its devastating power, it is impossible for people to see its true form with their own eyes!  Moreover, in the vast sky, even if hundreds of artillery shells appear at one time, in human vision, there will never be a visual scene such as raindrops falling one after another. All of this is of course an exaggeration.

    The 305MM main gun on the Emperor-class battleship, codenamed Sun-shooting Type 7, is the pinnacle of the local super-large-caliber artillery technology that has been developed freely over decades by the integration of modern space-time metallurgical technology in the Three Kingdoms.  Due to the early mastery of the electric furnace smelting method of modern alloy steel and the use of electroslag remelting technology, the quality of steel for naval guns in the Three Kingdoms time and space far exceeded that of the Republic of China time and space.

    The Sun-shooting Type 7 305MM fifty-fold caliber heavy gun independently developed by the Imperial Academy of Engineering was developed on this basis. It is one of the relatively mature naval guns developed by the Empire in recent years. The gun weighs 67 tons and has a muzzle velocity of 948 meters per gun.  seconds, using various types of artillery shells weighing 412 kg to 420 kg, with a maximum rate of fire of 2.8 rounds per second, and a barrel life of more than 300 rounds.  The kinetic energy of its cannon after it is ejected from the chamber far exceeds the large-caliber naval guns of the great powers of this era!

    When this kind of super cannon flies through the air, its speed far exceeds the speed of sound. When it cuts through the air at close range, it will only leave its terrifying scream.  In real space, the only evidence of the existence of cannonballs that humans can capture is the tens of meters of water waves rising on the sea in front of Uemura Hikonoshima!

    "Water waves shaped like landslides and tsunamis spread over hundreds of meters in radius, and the impact points of dozens of shells were distributed on the sea with a distance of no more than 500 meters, forming a fierce and intensive bombing!  Several tons of TNT charges exploded in a small area, and the huge kinetic energy contained in it was transmitted along with the impact of water waves, causing the underwater side of the cruiser squadron's flagship Tsukuba nearly 100 meters away.  They were all under terrifying water pressure, and the space inside the ship echoed with a loud creaking sound.  The entire hull is more like a rolling toy on the sea, undulating violently, as if it will be overturned by this giant gun at any time!

    It is indeed a fully equipped heavy artillery, and it is probably equipped with a more advanced artillery control system than the Empire's rangefinder. With a one-time coverage design, the difference in the distance of five kilometers is only nearly a hundred meters!  In the command tower, trying hard to stabilize his body, Uemura Hikonoshima judged the approximate data of the enemy battleship's artillery in an instant, and then couldn't help but put his hand to his forehead to wipe the cold sweat!  This is really terrible!

    If the shells of such a giant cannon are even closer than a few dozen meters, then Uemura Hikonoshima's current vehicle, the Kurama, the flagship of the Imperial Cruiser Squadron, will be completely scrapped.  Even if it doesn't hit the hull, the torrent formed by the underwater explosion of the concentrated fire alone is enough to crack the hull of the cruiser!

    A duel with a battleship is indeed too dangerous for a cruiser.

    The Kurama chose to send a telegram and a flag to the rear at the same time. The simultaneous use of the two communication methods showed the tension of the situation at this time. Cruiser squadron, disperse!

    Kurama, Ibuki, Tsukuba, Ikomathe original impact formation of a series of armored cruisers behind them spread out like flowers in an instant. Japan has spent a lot of effort in recent years to build this full force.  Asia's most elite naval team showed wonderful driving skills at this critical moment!

    The battleships of the East China Sea Fleet launched a second salvo, and the concentrated fire bombardment of dozens of heavy artillery shells once again spread a large area of ??violent whitecaps on the water. Together with the fleeing cruisers, they formed a stunning scene.  Beautiful painting, the bombardment point is in the center, and the wakes of the cruisers are like stamens stretching out along the sea surface in the center.

    "Your Excellency, we escaped!" On the command tower of the Kurama, everyone exhaled in unison, and Captain Kondo Shinichi said to Uemura.  His tone was full of respect for His Excellency Uemura's decisiveness at critical moments.  It was obvious that the enemy had already caught the Kurama's trajectory in the first shelling attack. If the enemy kept the same speed and direction in the second round, it would definitely lead to death or death!  The godlike Commander Uemura once again saved the lives of everyone on the ship during the battle.

    But in the face of such tribute!

    "No! Not yet!"

    ?After escaping a fatal attack, there was still no joy on Uemura's face: the enemy's bullet impact point was completely stuck in the position of the Kurama. If the ship hadn't turned around at the critical moment, this shelling would undoubtedly have been  The end of all the Kurama crew!  This kind of bombardment is so terrible!

    The cruiser squadron as a whole escaped with this beautiful maneuver, but what about next time?

    The terrifying and precise bombardment of the battleship's artillery was indeed as deadly as a nightmare!

    In a decisive battle with this kind of warship, the empire's navy is simply facing death all the time!

    Uemura pondered for a moment, his face turned stern in an instant, and he suddenly made an incredible decision:

    "Send a signal to the empire's battleship squadron: The enemy ships are powerful and irresistible! For the sake of the empire, please conserve your strength and retreat quickly! The cruiser squadron will serve as your flank to entangle the enemy's main force."

    "What? Retreat! Bagya Road!" As soon as these words came out, the entire command tower was silent, and everyone was stunned. Kondo Shinichi next to him immediately cursed.  As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he suddenly realized that he was scolding his immediate boss. He was shocked and had a strange expression on his face.

    ??In the midst of everyone's doubts or surprised gazes.  Uemura cursed angrily:

    "Go! Go quickly, the enemy's battleships are too powerful, and this is obviously a trap, a trap for the Imperial Navy!"

    "Bag! Escape without fighting? Absolutely impossible!" At the critical moment, Captain Kondo Shinichi and other senior officials resolutely chose to resist Uemura Hikonoshima's order. The Army's attitude of defeating the superiors was indeed inevitable.  spread to the navy.

    "No matter how powerful the enemy is, it cannot stop the Imperial Navy from marching towards victory. Behind us are the eight elite battleships of the Empire, and we also have tens of millions of people in the Empire! It is absolutely impossible for the Imperial Navy to accept the fate of failure!"  In the commander's tower of the Kurama, the attitude instantly evolved into two factions, and the two groups stared at each other covetously!

    Then, there is no more.

    The next three Emperor-class battleships launched their third focused fire attack, ending the Kurama's entangled fate and making the final decision for this small group of people.

    Dozens of giant cannonballs flew in, and the sky-high flames combined with the giant gun, covering the Kurama inside. One of the main gun shells hit the ammunition depot of the Kurama, and the front half of the hull of the Kurama was  , suddenly exploded into the air, and then quickly fell to the sea, pitifully exposing the internal steel supports, etc., and completely sank in just a few dozen seconds!  Everything on the Kurama disappeared in just one minute.

    ¡­¡­

    "Hey! Finally killed him!"

    The destruction of the Kurama made the officers and soldiers of the East China Sea Fleet's battleship squadron finally heave a sigh of relief. The third round of bombardment simply knocked out the flagship of the enemy's cruiser squadron, without exceeding the fleet's previous estimate.  Then, without unified command, it will be time for the imperial fleet to completely massacre the enemy's cruiser detachment!

    All crew members on the ship, whether they are veterans of the expeditionary force or local newcomers from time and space No. 3!  In an instant, the morale seemed to explode suddenly, and the morale soared to a full state!  (To be continued.
