Chapter 335 Gunnery Practice
"Engine room, please start the engine."

"Engine start complete."

"Advance at a slight speed."

"learn."

One thing Arisa was right about was that these crew members were indeed top students.Even if everyone is basically operating the Zhanshou for the first time, they can still start the ship very quickly.

After replenishing enough crew members, the ship's operating mode was switched from fully automatic to semi-automatic, and its functions were enriched at once.

"The application has been approved, and we can practice at the 6-10 driving range." Arisa paused, and then continued: "After leaving the port, immediately move to 6-10."

"learn."

Said to be the navigator, but Arisa acted more like the deputy captain, stopping most of the things that the captain should do.

No way, if she doesn't stand up at this time, a certain mouthless captain will drive people crazy.

Otowa's current position is the gunner, so she will naturally not stay in the bridge, and is blowing the sea breeze at the position of the main gun at the bow.

Having said that, Shizuku was actually very kind to Otowa, and directly gave the inexperienced Otowa the position of gunner.

The power of the gunner is very great, and all the weapons on the warship are under her control.Although Zhanshou-level weapons are a bit small, there are still three main guns and two anti-aircraft guns, which means that there are four people who want to listen to her.

But on the other hand, this is also putting Otoba on the fire.If she can't show the artillery skills that a gunner should have, she will be criticized by many people.

"It's about the same as the artillery on the chariot, it should work..."

Looking at the ten-year-style 12cm single-mounted cannon in front of him, Otoyu couldn't help sighing.

Just as Otowa was thinking wildly, the ship slowly sailed out of the port.

The speed of the Zhanshou-class coastal defense ship is not fast, with a cruising speed of 16 knots and a maximum speed of 19.7 knots.Fortunately, the place where they practiced this time is not far away, and the ship reached the target within an hour at full speed.

"This is also one of the battlefields of war games. Ships totaling hundreds of thousands of tons have been sunk, so many people also call it the 'Iron Bottom Channel'."

Arisa was still very considerate. Before the ship arrived at the training ground, she explained it on the radio in the ship.

"The Iron Bottom Strait is okay."

In other words...the productivity of the 22nd century really exploded. Ships of hundreds of thousands of tons sank just for entertainment. It is really hard to imagine that the world will change so much in 100 years.

"Let's do sailing training first." Shizuku's voice came from the radio.

"Then, pay attention to all units and prepare for sailing training." Arisa also added.

Sailing training, as the name suggests, is naturally practicing sailing, mainly to examine the helmsman's operation of the ship.

In naval battles, the helmsman's operation is very important, especially in low-end rounds.

For such a thousand-ton coastal defense ship, any torpedo or aerial bomb is fatal, and one shot can blow up the entire ship.

If the helmsman's operation is not good, the coastal defense ship will not survive for 3 minutes in front of the torpedo boat, and it will be given away when it goes out.

However, the operation of the helmsman on the Otowa boat did not seem to be bad. During the sailing practice, he directly avoided all the mines with coquettish movements, and finally drove the ship through the five approaching torpedoes.

"Next, gunnery practice."

"Gunner Changquan-san, please get ready to fire."

"learn."

After Otowa finished speaking on the radio, he started to operate the cannon in front of him.

"All the main guns follow my orders and aim at the target ship 3 kilometers away."

"""learn!"""

A uniform reply came back from the radio.

It seems that it is not easy to hit a target 3 kilometers away on a shaking ship, but the size of the target ship is much larger than that of the chariot, so it is not difficult in general.

Amidst the humming of the turret motor, Otowa quickly aimed the muzzle at the target ship in the distance.

Although the Zhanshou in the war game is equipped with a turret motor, in order to restore the history, the rotation speed of the turret is still similar to the historical hand-cranked turret. In short, the speed is quite impressive.

"Fire!"

After Otoyu finished speaking, he was the first to pull the trigger of the cannon.

The main gun on Zhanshou is relatively easy to use. This 45cm gun with a diameter of 12 times has a good ballistic.

After hitting the target, the shell exploded violently in an instant, blasting a big hole in the hull of the target ship.

During the few days at sea, Otowa didn't do nothing. She was so bored that she exploded and even used up all the 12cm ammunition on board.

Under such high-intensity practice, Otowa quickly figured out the trajectory of the gun.

"It's also very powerful..."

In land battles before, the largest caliber gun that Otowa had touched was the 251mm BK-90 of Ru90. This time, he changed to a 12cm gun and felt that the lethality was instantly increased by several grades.

After Otowa, the two main guns in the middle and rear of the ship also fired shells, but these shells were still a little short of the target ship, and they landed around the target ship one after another.

In fact, such a result is normal. In naval battles, there is no one who can hit the target in the first round. It is not the constant correction of the trajectory to attack, so Otowa can achieve the first hit.

In the destroyer civil war, it is not without reason that the 40mm Bofors is better than the 127mm main gun...

"It's amazing, as expected of a gunner."

"That's it."

Just the first shot, Otoyu left a deep impression on many girls.

After firing a round of shells, the automatic loader on the main gun also started working.

Like the turret motor, the working efficiency of the loading machine is also limited to the level of manual loading. In short, this slow movement is quite painful for Otowa.

"Prepare for the second round of shooting."

After the loading was completed, Otowa immediately gave the order for the second round of shooting.

The ship did not stop, but maintained a cruising speed of 16 knots, and the shooting environment naturally changed compared with the previous shot.

"Fire!"

The moment he said those words, Otowa pulled the trigger.

Even though the shooting environment had changed, the shell still hit the target ship without deviation, opening a big hole in the ship's bridge.

This result is not surprising to Otoyu, after all, she is Otoyu.

As for the remaining two main guns, the shooting results were still unsatisfactory. One shell hit a near miss, and the other shell flew directly over the target ship.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with this result, but compared with Otowa's two-shot and two-for-two results, it seems a bit embarrassing.
