Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

The 200-kilogram bomb, minus the bomb skin, contained at least 170 kilograms of explosives. It hit the No. 3 turret of the Great Wall, causing a violent explosion.

The entire warship began to shake violently, and Li Ruinian in the bridge staggered and almost fell.

When the shaking was over, he gave the order: "All units check for personnel losses, and damage control units get ready!"

He ran to the other end of the bridge and looked carefully at the No. 3 turret.

He breathed a sigh of relief. The turret on the battleship was the hardest part except for the ammunition depot. The bomb only caused the turret to be severely deformed.

By this time, all units had finished roll call. The No. 3 turret, which was hit the hardest, only had eight crew members knocked out. The turret is such a large object that it has a shock-proof structure inside, so no one was killed.

The people in the turret were fine, but those on the deck outside were in trouble.

The anti-aircraft machine gun group near the No. 3 turret was affected by the explosion, suffering heavy casualties. The three machine guns disappeared without a trace, and the 3 members of the machine gun group disappeared without a trace.

The machine gun position a little further away was hit by the shock wave, and the machine gun crew fell on the deck with blood pouring from all their orifices. They were no longer able to survive.

"No, this won't work..."

Li Ruinian murmured.

Their modification was to weld the machine guns to the deck. Once bombed, the battleship was fine but most of the people on it were killed.

At this time he thought of Li Zhenghe, the guy who advocated major modifications to the battleships.

If a hole could be dug on the deck, an automatic machine could be placed in the hole, an anti-aircraft machine gun could be placed on the automatic machine, and then a round turret could be built. In this way, as long as the ship is not directly hit by a large-caliber shell, the chance of casualties could be greatly reduced.

But the modification is a matter for later, as the second group of Japanese bombers is about to arrive at the bombing position.

"Don't worry about the one at the rear! Focus your fire on the bomber at the bow!"

Li Ruinian made a quick assessment. The ship had just been hit by a 200-kg bomb, and many of the anti-aircraft machine guns on the deck had been destroyed. The firepower was beginning to be insufficient, so he could only concentrate his fire to take down one machine gun.

All anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns were aimed at the plane flying from the bow of the ship, and a large amount of firepower was directed at it.

The plane was smoking from the barrage of bullets, its flying posture became crooked, and then a 127mm shell hit it hard.

The shell rushed into the plane from the nose and exploded in the belly!

The shell detonated the bomb in the belly of the aircraft, and the 600-kilogram bomb exploded violently, blowing the entire aircraft into pieces no bigger than a palm.

"Good job! Now take care of the other one!"

Li Ruinian didn't expect to hit a critical hit, taking out one plane in one go. Now they can calmly deal with the other one.

All anti-aircraft weapons turned around and fired at the bomber at the stern of the ship.

A large number of bullets were fired at the bomber, which was not moving very fast, and many holes were densely hit on it, and then it started to smoke and stalled.

But this time the bomber did not fall miserably onto the distant sea, and the pilot inside had not given up operating the plane.

He controlled the joystick and used the remaining lift to aim at the Great Wall battleship.

"It's dark and the card is on board!!!"

The pilot's face was distorted and he actually wanted to crash directly into the Great Wall!

This little Japanese guy accidentally helped the Japanese to discover the kamikaze skill 12 years in advance.

Fortunately, the Japanese pilot was immediately hit by a large number of bullets and lost control. The impact direction of the bomber began to deviate and finally crashed 30 meters away from the Great Wall, disintegrated and sank.

Everyone on the ship was scared. Damn, 30 meters, this distance is quite dangerous. For a giant like a battleship, it was almost a collision.

Although the kamikaze attack failed, it seemed to have turned on a magical little switch for the Japanese. One after another, Japanese pilots shouted "load on board", increased the speed of their planes to the maximum, and began to hit the Great Wall.

Logically speaking, the Japs would not carry out kamikaze attacks at that time, but they were really driven into a corner. The shame of the Great Wall being captured, the fear of their superior's order to commit seppuku, and the enemy's extremely powerful anti-aircraft weapons were all driving them crazy!

The bomber was only 30 meters away from success. If it could have hit the Great Wall, it would have severely damaged the Great Wall!

"It's dark and the card is on board!!!"

Another plane shouted on the radio, then aimed at the Great Wall and attacked!

It was going so fast, over 300 kilometers per hour.

A machine gunner immediately turned on bullet time and fired at the plane, but even with bullet time turned on, his gun barrel almost couldn't catch up with the plane.

The machine gunner tried his best to calculate the flight path of the Japanese plane, hoping to fire the barrage in front of the enemy and force the enemy to crash into it.

But the Japanese plane was too fast, and he had been using bullet time, which made him dizzy. As a result, the plane successfully broke through the fire blockade of the Great Wall and crashed into the bridge.

With a loud bang, the two 25-kilogram bombs carried by the plane exploded due to the impact, the armor plates on the bridge were twisted, and the bulletproof glass was shattered.

Li Ruinian and others all fell to the ground. When they stood up, they found a piece of plane wreckage stuck on the bridge.

He coughed violently and found that the wreckage of the plane was burning.

"Damage control! Come out and put out the fire!"

As soon as his order was given, the battleship shook again, another violent explosion was heard, and another small plane hit the side armor of the battleship.

The side armor of the Great Wall battleship is 127 mm thick. The two 25 kg bombs carried by this small plane can only slightly bend the armor.

Although the damage caused by the small plane was limited, Li Ruinian vigilantly discovered that the remaining two bombers were actually moving away.

Li Ruinian was confused. What did this mean? The small plane was a kamikaze, and you two, who were the biggest threat to the warship, ran away?

Suddenly, he remembered something and was shocked!

They are trying to stay away from acceleration!

"All deck personnel, abandon your positions and take shelter below the deck!!"

Li Ruinian quickly used mind sharing to give orders to everyone, and then he pulled the people in the bridge to hide under the deck.

He thought to himself that it was just a kamikaze attack, not a naval gun. With the size of the Great Wall, it would not sink even if it was hit by dozens of 410mm shells. It was just two bombers. You could just blow them up and replace them with better ceramic steel armor.

The personnel on the deck and bridge were quickly evacuated, and they retreated directly to the lower level below the waterline.

By the time they had taken shelter, the Japanese bombers had retreated to a sufficient distance, so they turned around, accelerated, and charged towards the Great Wall.
