Chapter 359
"Spotted an enemy ship at eleven o'clock."

Not long after entering the archipelago, the voice of the observer came from the radio station in the bridge.

Tianlong specially set up a cabin for observers on the mast. When the station is higher, observers can naturally see farther.

Arisa's reaction was quick, and he immediately picked up the telescope beside him, and then looked towards the position the observer said.

"It seems to be a destroyer. I don't know the exact model." When Arisa said this, he suddenly turned around and looked at the captain behind him. "Shizuku-chan, what should we do?"

Although Arisa is in charge of most of the matters, Shizuku is still the captain of this ship, and Arisa still needs to ask her for advice when something really happens.

"Sink."

Shizuku's reply was very short, only two simple words.

"Understood~" Arisa nodded, and then shouted on the ship's broadcast: "Attention all units, prepare to fight the enemy!"

After entering the archipelago, the speed of Tianlong actually dropped a lot.However, after entering the combat state, the speed of the ship quickly returned to the maximum combat speed.

"The enemy is 8 kilometers away from us. They found us, and they seem to have no intention of retreating."

Unlike battles in the sea, the distance between the two sides is actually not far due to the fact that there are floating islands blocking the view between the islands.

"Courage is commendable, but we won't give them any chance!" Arisa paused, and then continued: "Otowa, how are the artillery preparations going?"

"The artillery groups are aiming at the enemy ship and will be able to fire soon."

Otowa spoke on the radio while spinning the cannon.

"Very good, blow them up for me!"

"You don't need to tell me I will."

After saying that, Otowa began to aim precisely.

The distance of 8 kilometers is actually not too far. After spending some effort, Otowa quickly roughly estimated the ballistic data.

"Fire!"

After each artillery group adjusted the artillery according to her data, Otowa gave the firing order without hesitation.

boom--

The artillery on the ship spat out tongues of flame, and four 140mm caliber high-explosive bombs also flew out at the same time at a high speed of 800m/s.

After a short flight, these shells finally landed on the sea in front of the enemy ship, splashing four pillars of water.

Otoyu didn't care too much about missing a round of shots. After all, it is too difficult to hit the first round in a naval battle.

After being beaten for a round, the enemy ship also quickly started to counterattack, and three orange-red shells were shot from the enemy ship.

Yin Yu missed the hit here, and the opposite side did the same. The three shells all brushed past the rear of the ship, and finally landed in the sea not far from the Tianlong.

"Three guns... plus this layout, it should be of the Isokaze class. I will pay attention to their torpedoes later!"

Arisa can become the head of the navigation department of a school, of course, there are real materials.

The main gun configuration of the Isokaze class is the same as that of the Sanshu class, which are three 12cm single-mounted guns. In addition, the Isokaze also has three dual-mounted torpedo launchers that the Sanshu class does not have.

"Fire!"

After notifying the battery groups of the recalculated data, Otowa gave the firing order again.

Another round of 140mm caliber high-explosive bombs was fired, flying towards the enemy ship eight kilometers away.

With the data of the previous shooting as a reference, the accuracy of Tianlong's shelling was much higher in an instant. One of the four shells landed next to the enemy ship, and the effect of near miss was achieved.

Although it didn't get a direct hit, the near miss still surprised the girls on the enemy ship.

The opponent had almost lost bullets in the second round, and it was obvious that the shells would be thrown at them soon.

And the fact is the same, in the fourth round of shooting fired by Tianlong, a shell hit the Isokaze.

This shell hit the anti-aircraft machine gun seat in the center of the Isokaze hull. The explosion not only sent away the machine gunner here, but also dismantled the 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun into parts.

The 140mm high-explosive bomb is very powerful, and the charge is much more than the 120mm high-explosive bomb on the Zhanshou.

"Hit! Well done everyone!"

Through the telescope, Arisa naturally saw this scene.

Although this shell only destroyed an anti-aircraft machine gun, it caused great psychological pressure on the opponent. After all, the shells on their side did not know when they would hit.

With the continuous progress of the two sides, the distance is now only 6 kilometers.

"You can't run away, open fire!"

Through the previous rounds of shooting, Otowa had completely locked on to the destroyer.

Soon, Tianlong fired another round of salvo.

By constantly correcting the trajectory, the shooting accuracy of the Tianlong is also constantly improving. This time, two shells actually hit the target.

A shell hit the tail of the Isokaze, and the fragments from the explosion took away the gunner of the Isokaze's tail turret on the spot.

Like most destroyers at the time, the main gun of the Isokaze was not protected, it was just a naked cannon, the gunner was directly exposed to the outside, and any attack could cause the gunner to be killed.

But now, the girl on this ship suffered from no protection.There was nothing wrong with the cannon itself, but the gunner was sent away by a piece of shrapnel the size of a fingernail. The scene was quite embarrassing.

Although it is possible to switch to another girl to take over the shift, but before that, the cannon cannot fire again.

Another shell hit the side of the Isokaze's bow, which is where the living area is located.The violent explosion opened a big hole here on the spot, and by the way, the gunner of the front turret above was shocked and fell down.

Until now, none of the shells fired from the opposite side had hit the Tianlong. It must be said that the gap in artillery skills between the gunners of the two sides was too great.

After being hit continuously, the captain of the enemy ship finally responded.

"The opposite side started to turn, it looked like it was about to launch a torpedo."

Arisa was not the only one who had been staring at the opposite side. The observers on the ship also focused all their attention on the enemy ship, so they noticed their strangeness immediately.

"Do you want to launch a torpedo..." Arisa hesitated for a while before continuing, "But isn't this distance too early?"

The maneuverability of the Tianlong is very good, and it can even be described as a large destroyer. If you want to ensure the hit rate of the torpedo, you must launch the torpedo from the riding distance.

To Arisa's surprise, the torpedo launcher on the opposite ship actually started working.

"It seems that the captain on the other side seems to be a novice, and he actually launched a torpedo at such a long distance."

Looking at the six white lines in the telescope, Arisa's mouth suddenly turned up.
