Japanese naval artillery in World War II (II) Ten shells in the Surabaya naval battle
Why did you choose these three naval battles? The author Tamura Shang also believes that in order to analyze the hit rate of the Japanese navy's large-caliber artillery, we must first exclude the battles in which aviation units participate, and then rely on vision and radar to carry out night artillery battles (mostly in Tiedi Bay, Solomon Islands).

During World War II, Japanese cruisers and warships participated in only a few surface daytime artillery battles, and no aviation participated.

Of the three battles that Tamura also paid attention to, two were the stage for the Ten Artillery to relive.

Surabaya naval battle-the Japanese soldiers who participated in the war were Yuping [Miaogao style] and Na Zhi [Miaogao style];

Battle of Kamando-The Japanese soldiers who participated in the war were Maya [Kaohsiung type] and Na Zhi [Miaogao type];

Without exception, these are all ten rounds.

How are the battlefields of these old places revisited? Let's take a look at their pre-war training results first.

Shooting results of naval guns from Taisho 15 to Showa 15.

Data source:? Colonel Dai Zhifu's history of naval gun shooting

The above data show that during the period of 1935~ 1940, the average shooting percentage of the Japanese army revisiting 20,000 yards was 5. 17%.

In the Surabaya naval battle, in order to defeat the ABDA joint fleet, the number and hit rate of ammunition fired by the Japanese army were as follows:

Tamura is also data:

It can be seen that the hit rate of Japanese patrol shooting is only 1/20 of the pre-war training level, so there is no way. This is actual combat, not killing the target. Tamura also believes that allied ships continue to implement missile evasion maneuvers through observation in the battle, effectively avoiding Japanese shelling.

The reason why Japanese destroyers have a high shelling hit rate is the short shooting distance. Colonel Sato Yasuo commanded two destroyers of the Japanese Ninth Expulsion Team to approach the Allied forces for artillery battle, and achieved a high hit rate.

Supplementary explanation:

Three of the four 203mm bullets did not explode.

(Houston, California, 2 rounds, unexploded; CL dretel 1 hair, unexploded; Exeter, California 1 hair, explosion)

In the domestic translation of the Battle of Java, F.C. Van Hostains Ocean Publishing House, 1986, describes the Battle of Surabaya as follows:

-16: 00 Allied flagship Dreitler was hit by 203mm, with a dud.

-17: 07 Allied flagship Dreitler was hit by 203mm, with a dud.

In order to disable the target enemy ship, the number of hits required to paralyze the target is:
