Chapter 988: Shelling aircraft carrier

More than 100,000 people from the Nine Corps besieged the First Marine Division, and its impact was considerable. The U.S. military immediately took the initiative to arrange its withdrawal from the battlefield when it discovered that its powerful brigade might suffer major losses. In order to accomplish this task, the US military mobilized a huge naval fleet.
When Zhou Qingfeng drove his IS-7 to the shore of Xingnan Port and crossed the Chengchuan River with the frozen river surface in winter, he immediately saw dozens of warships floating on the sea in the moonlight.
"What a huge navy! It is really enviable." Zhou Qingfeng had to sigh about this. The Yankee's navy is powerful enough to slay the world, even when the bears were in their heyday.
Just sighing and sighing, after slightly identifying the ship's model, Zhou Qingfeng focused on a few flat-top ships floating on the sea-US aircraft carriers.
When the war was most intense, there were seven aircraft carriers outside Xingnan Port, and now Zhou Qingfeng saw three. The specific ship number could not be resolved in the dark, but this did not prevent him from immediately using enemy aircraft carriers as his first target tonight.
Killing the US aircraft carrier is probably the biggest dream of all future Chinese military fans. Think of the super warships that are arrogant and powerful, and the PLA Navy is really envious of envy. And now Zhou Qingfeng has a chance to make a few rounds to these behemoths.
Naval guns rely on warships for their power, range, and rate of fire are much faster than army artillery under the same caliber. The IS-7's artillery is modified from the naval gun. Although it is not as powerful as the original gun, it can still easily achieve a range of more than ten kilometers.
The warship parked on the sea was an ideal target for artillery. Zhou Qingfeng couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart, and immediately ordered the aircraft carrier on the sea to measure the distance. Three tanks correspond to three aircraft carriers, which is just right.
Although the firepower of the IS-7 is powerful, it is obviously impossible to directly kill tens of thousands of aircraft carriers. But as long as a few holes can be smashed into the deck of the aircraft carrier, it will be enough for these big guys to go back for repairs for a few months, and the intensity of the US air strikes will definitely drop significantly during this time.
You should know that this is a great advantage for the Nine Corps of Volunteers in a hard battle. However, the blow was fatal, and it was not easy to hit a few ships. So Zhou Qingfeng called out his fast column and ordered them two things.
The first thing was to detach a company to raid Lianpu Airport west of Xingnan Port. This airport has a large number of transport aircraft and fighter jets, which is the main point of the US Army's close support of the 1st Marine Division. Responsible for leading the team is the frontline aviation controller of the US military who has been taken to the thief by Zhou Qingfeng.
The second thing is that the remaining two companies crossed the frozen river and entered the Xingnan Port for destruction, and incidentally attacked the US artillery positions in the port from behind, opening a gap for the follow-up forces. While two things were going on, naturally three IS-7s that had completed the ranging kept firing.
"Perform the mission according to our plan." Zhou Qingfeng dispatched the people from the fast column, but knew that more than 300 people in this team would be killed or injured in the next battle. After all, the enemy forces in Xingnan Port The number far exceeds them.
But no one complained, everyone obeyed the order silently, the vehicles of the fast column left in turn and went to their respective targets. Zhou Qingfeng contacted the two regiments in the rear who were violently violating the Third Division of the US Army and informed them to keep up quickly and see if they could rush into Xingnan Port for a sum.
"Prepare for semi-armor-piercing grenades," Zhou Qingfeng ordered, including a total of seven rounds on the bomb chamber and the ammunition. There will be seven bursts in the future, and strive to hit the strongest firepower in a short time. Moreover, semi-armor piercing grenades have certain armor-piercing capabilities, but I don't know if they can penetrate the deck of the aircraft carrier?
"Ranging is about 7.4 kilometers. Using a high projectile trajectory, the aircraft carrier take-off deck is hoisted." Zhou Qingfeng used a telescope to give an approximate distance, while the tank's optical rangefinder gave a similar number, an electromechanical ballistic After the computer solves the problem, the fire control elements are manually set and input.
Zhou Qingfeng took control of the entire column's operations through the radio until everything was ready. He took a deep breath and shouted, "Fire!"
Boom ..., three IS-7s on the coast raised their muzzles high, and the thick main gun spewed a few meters of orange flame at night. In order to shoot long-range targets, the shelling uses full charge, and strives to obtain maximum power.
At this moment, Major General Smith had just landed by helicopter on the aircraft carrier Wright. This is an 'Essex' class fleet aircraft carrier, and it is currently the most powerful combat weapon in the world.
Your Majesty has just stepped on the deck, and the marines on the ship are approaching to greet you. At this time ... the shelling is coming!
With a distance of more than seven kilometers, it took almost half a minute for the sound of shelling to reach, but the glare of the shelling was very obvious. A large number of people across the sea saw this scene, and Major General Smith was surprised.
However, a second glare followed, followed by a third and a fourth. The 130-mm shell was flying nearly three times faster than the speed of sound. When the third gun popped out of the bore, the first shell had already shot in a parabolic trajectory and landed accurately on the Wright On the main deck.
"Careful bombardment!" The heavy artillery approached, and Major General Smith finally realized what the dazzling light on the coast was. He shouted loudly to try to remind the people on the deck, but the personnel on the aircraft carrier felt inexplicable, and no one expected that this seemingly quiet night would have hidden murder.
A loud boom exploded on the 'Wright', and a hot flame erupted on the flight deck less than forty millimeters thick. The flame emerged from under the deck, releasing its power in the form of a splash.
Unlike later aircraft carriers equipped with jet fighters ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Essex ’class aircraft carriers take off from propeller fighters, whose deck thickness is really limited. The semi-armor-piercing grenade smashed through the armor and entered the hangar on the next floor, which exploded, and the narrow space fueled its fierce power.
At this moment, the flight deck is preparing to take off the night fighter, and the fuel and ammunition are placed on the deck. The violent explosion made the flight attendants on the deck frightened. They didn't know where the explosion came from, but immediately shouted, "Pushing ammunition into the sea, the deck is not safe."
But it was too late to say anything. The IS-7 with the semi-automatic loader had shelled seven rounds in a row, and the shells began to land on the huge carrier deck in less than ten seconds. Such a big goal is really hard to miss.
When Zhou Qingfeng's IS-7 shot down seven shells, he immediately ordered the driver to leave the shelling position. The pilot asked him: "The platoon leader, don't you often say that you want to confront the US military, don't you ask? We are also naval guns, keep fighting!"
Zhou Qingfeng's Qi Qi suddenly smoked and yelled, "Stupid, when did I say this? Hurry up and run for me, and the retaliatory shelling of the US convoy will come."
While Zhou Qingfeng was holding the turbulent turret quickly to avoid it, fireworks exploded suddenly on the distant sea, shining the night sky. Suddenly a huge ball of fire appeared on a distant aircraft carrier, which could be clearly seen without a telescope.
No sound was heard by the seaside for a while. Zhou Qingfeng only looked coldly at the fireballs rising in the distance, as if the burning clouds reflected the night sky and reflected on his face.
"What did we hit?" Zhou Qingfeng stared blankly. He heard the explosion loudly from a distance more than twenty seconds later.
The air was shaking, the sea was boiling, the heavy bombs and aviation gasoline being loaded on the 'Wright' aircraft carrier's flight deck were detonated, and the fire was soaring! .
