Chapter 523: The First Head-on Clash between the Chinese and Japanese Navies

After the order for the second round of strikes was issued, the fire control radars of the four 4H missile frigates again targeted another four Japanese fighter planes.

And after the second round of missile launches, four more Japanese fighter planes were shot down.

"The Ping'an County Security Corps' air defense equipment is too accurate. If this continues, our fighter fleet will definitely be wiped out by the enemy!"

"Baga! Stop talking nonsense, you idiot! Their weapons can only fire one round at a time. They won't fire the second round until they hit our plane, and this is our last chance! All fighter planes, speed up and rush towards the Ping'an County Security Corps' fleet!"

"Hai!"

Encouraged by the commander of the Japanese Air Force Battalion, the Japanese pilots stabilized their morale and once again organized an attack on the Red Alert Force.

After the Red Alert forces fired three rounds of anti-aircraft missiles, the Japanese planes had already entered the 5-kilometer range of the Red Alert forces.

"Attention all air defense units! Begin a full-scale attack on Japanese fighter planes!"

After the Red Alert's air defense order was issued, various types of air defense equipment on the warships began to fire fiercely at the Japanese army.

The main equipment of Chinese ships, including dual 57mm guns, dual 37mm guns, 30mm Gatling guns, and 14.5mm quadruple anti-aircraft machine guns, began to fire at Japanese fighter planes in the sky.

However, the anti-aircraft guns on the ships were not so effective in killing the Japanese fighter planes flying at high speeds in the sky.

However, the navy of the Red Alert Force still inherited the glorious tradition of the original Chinese army. If the ship equipment is not enough, they will use the army equipment. If the army equipment is not available, they will use individual weapons.

As the Japanese air force approached, the crew members of the Red Alert Force ran into the equipment depot and took out the Hongying-5 individual air defense missiles that had been prepared in advance.

"Alpaca! You little bastard, I have something good for you!"

"Whoosh~"

As the Japanese fighter planes approached, as the Red Alert's anti-aircraft firepower opened fire, the Japanese fighter planes of various types immediately dispersed and evaded, while looking for opportunities to attack again.

But within just a few minutes, they suddenly discovered that the anti-aircraft weapons that could hit accurately before took off from the naval ships of the Ping'an County Security Corps like a hedgehog.

Missiles flew towards the Japanese fighter planes like arrows shot from a bow.

The dozens of Japanese fighter planes no longer thought about how to inflict damage to the naval fleet. They simply turned their planes around, evading and waiting for an opportunity to leave the battlefield.

This kind of battle is not something that humans can fight!

Even if they risked their lives to attack, they would not be able to cause any damage to this naval fleet!
So after the Red Alert's dozens of anti-aircraft missiles hit the target, the remaining dozen or so Japanese fighter planes flew away without looking back.

"How can we stop? With this secret weapon, the aviation unit won't be able to defeat us!"

In fact, this attack by the Japanese was very hasty in the eyes of the Red Alert Navy. Since the opponent's attack was almost unprepared, the attacks of the Japanese air force and surface ship forces were completely out of sync.

If the Japanese surface ships and air forces launched an attack at the same time, given the strength of this small fleet, Fleet Commander Li Xiaochen would definitely choose to withdraw without saying a word.

Now that the Japanese air force has been repelled by the Red Alert forces, when their surface ships arrive, the pressure faced by the Red Alert forces will be greatly reduced.

At this moment, the radar soldier of the fleet flagship 112 Harbin suddenly discovered multiple radar reflection signals on the radar display.

"Report to the commander, a large-scale Japanese surface ship force is approaching us! Position 245, speed 27 knots, 50 nautical miles away from us!"

At the same time, a 037 anti-submarine boat that used towed sonar for anti-submarine surveillance during air defense operations was also discovered.

"Captain, the towed sonar detected two underwater targets approaching us from direction 278, 30 nautical miles away, 20 meters deep, and at a speed of 14 knots."

"Synchronize data information to Ship 112 and Boats 401 and 402, and notify all units to prepare for anti-submarine operations!"

"understand!"

After discovering the submarine, the Red Alert Force's 037 anti-submarine submarine and two Ming-class submarines immediately began underwater surveillance operations.

When this fleet set out, the main role of the 037 and Ming class was to provide defense and anti-submarine missions for the main force of the naval forces. After all, the 037mm gun on a small-tonnage ship like the 57 could not even penetrate the armor belt of the Japanese heavy cruiser during World War II.

But if it is used for anti-submarine warfare, 037 is definitely a good hand!
When the 037 was playing a leading role in the Chinese Navy, naval submarines from all over the world had to take a detour when they encountered the 037 near the Chinese coast.

Including nuclear submarines!
The main anti-ship mission is given to the 051 missile destroyer, 053H missile frigate and 021 missile boat.

When the 037 and other ships were carrying out anti-submarine combat missions, the fleet flagship 112 Harbin also issued combat orders to the anti-ship unit.

Li Xiaochen: "Order! All 051 destroyers, 053 frigates, and 021 missile boats, prepare for battle and launch a comprehensive attack on the Japanese surface fleet!"

"understand!"

在李晓晨的命令下,2艘051导弹驱逐舰、4艘053H导弹护卫舰以及5艘021导弹艇全部将反舰导弹发射箱进行90度旋转,同时打开发射箱盖。

"Attention, all ships! First round of missiles, one salvo, fire!"

"Whoosh~"

As one by one the Upstream II anti-ship missiles flew out from the missile launch boxes on the Red Alert force's surface ships, the fire control radars on the warships also began to guide the course of the anti-ship missiles, heading straight for the largest ship in the Japanese fleet.

Among the Japanese warships rushing towards the Red Alert forces at this time, there were 4 heavy cruisers, 3 light cruisers and 15 destroyers.

These were just the first support fleet of the Japanese Navy. Behind this fleet were two Japanese aircraft carriers, five light cruisers, and six destroyers.

Since the Japanese battleships had been sunk or damaged by the Red Alert's air force off the coast of Tanggu, the Japanese had no battleships to deploy in this operation against the Red Alert's surface ship formation.

However, even without battleships, these Japanese ships are not something that can be resisted by an ordinary fleet.

However, these Japanese devils still don't know enough about the Red Alert's methods.

After all, the Red Alert never relies on numbers to win when conducting combat. Using the few to defeat the many is the norm for the Red Alert!
Ten minutes later, the first round of anti-ship missiles fired by the Red Alert Force had already approached the Japanese fleet and began the final dive phase. The Japanese soldiers who were advancing at high speed but did not pay attention to the missiles in the sky suffered.

The first ship to be hit was the second ship of the Japanese Navy's Takao-class heavy cruiser, Atago.

As a World War II heavy cruiser with a full load displacement of 13,400 tons, the thickness of its armor is definitely not comparable to that of modern warships.

Due to the times, the warships of various countries during World War II were thick-skinned and tough, and could withstand much more attacks than modern ships with thin skin and large fillings!
After the first missile hit the bow of the Atago, the explosion of the Yuyou No. 2 caused serious damage to the Atago, but did not make it lose its combat capability.

The other three Kaohsiung-class heavy cruisers that operated with the Atago, the Kaohsiung, Harumi and Chiyoda, were also each assigned an anti-ship missile.

Fortunately, the areas hit by these missiles were superstructures or anti-torpedo belts. Although a single anti-ship missile caused considerable casualties to the Japanese sailors, it was still not fatal to these large-tonnage ships.

After all, the tonnage of these warships is there. If you want to destroy a 10,000-ton heavy cruiser, it is not something that can be solved by just one or two ship-borne anti-ship missiles!

Compared with shore-based anti-ship missiles, due to the limitations of the ship's displacement and onboard space, the explosive equivalent of ship-borne anti-ship missiles is much smaller than that of shore-based anti-ship missiles.

Two shore-to-ship missiles can destroy a Japanese heavy cruiser, but the same cannot be said for ship-borne missiles.

This time, the Red Alert's ships capable of carrying anti-ship missiles carried a total of 48 anti-ship missiles. After launching the first round of 11 missiles, the Red Alert now only has 37 anti-ship missiles left.

(Six 015s, four 053Hs and four 021s.)
However, the first round of anti-ship missiles also achieved relatively good results. Among the Japanese army's four heavy cruisers, three light cruisers and fifteen destroyers, all the heavy cruisers and light cruisers were hit by an anti-ship missile, and three of the Japanese destroyers were hit.

All of the eleven missiles hit the target except one that missed.

However, these eleven missiles only sank two Japanese destroyers and one light cruiser.

In theory, it should be no problem for the Red Alert's anti-ship missiles to sink a destroyer with one shot, but the destroyer was only hit on the superstructure, and the missile hit the mast of the destroyer.

Although the Japanese destroyer captain and other Japanese soldiers on the superstructure were all killed in the explosion, the destroyer did not sink.

The Japanese light cruiser that was sunk was unlucky.

An Upstream-2 anti-ship missile launched by the Red Alert force penetrated directly into the hull of the Japanese training ship from the midship. When it exploded, it not only detonated the power compartment of the light cruiser, but also directly blew up the hull, causing serious water ingress.

With this level of damage, let alone damage control, the Japanese wouldn't be able to do anything even if the damage control department sent the mold.

The other Japanese warships that were hit suffered varying degrees of damage.

As the three radar reflection signals disappeared from the Red Alert's shipborne radar display, the Red Alert immediately launched a second round of missile strikes.

Compared with modern ships, the Japanese warships from World War II were tough and sturdy, but in terms of strike range, they could not even touch the Red Alert.

Although it was the first direct conflict between the Red Alert fleet and the Japanese Navy, the Red Alert was still able to rely on its range advantage to ignore the Japanese ships.

This made the Japanese navy very uncomfortable.

At the same time, the Japanese warships proudly did not participate in this naval battle, but left the firefighting area far away in the name of covering the transport troops.

This is your navy's business. What does it have to do with our army?
What? You said it was to protect the Thirteenth Army?
That was an order from the cabinet, not something our army asked you for!

If you have the guts, ask the cabinet to give orders to our army!
As the Japanese 13th Army gradually completed its withdrawal, the Japanese army ships also began to watch the navy from afar.

At this time, the Japanese navy had no time to argue with the army. They knew very well that it was unrealistic to rely on the army now. However, if the army could do one thing, their navy could also do fifteen.

So the Japanese navy immediately withdrew all the ships and forces around Tanggu and sent them to the waters near Dazhushan Island to reinforce their offensive fleet.

At the same time, the Japanese also transferred away all the naval aviation forces patrolling in the Tianjin area.

At this time, the Japanese garrison troops and a brigade of the Eighth Army that were blocking the enemy in the Tianjin area were in a state of panic.

What the hell happened to them?!

It would be fine if there was no air cover, but now there is not even artillery support from the sea?

How the hell are you going to fight like this? !

When Zhao Han, who was standing opposite the Japanese, saw this situation, he almost laughed out loud.

My goodness! Originally, due to the naval guns, Zhao Han's troops had to be cautious even when attacking. Now that the Japanese naval warships have withdrawn, the Japanese in Tianjin and surrounding areas are now a piece of fat meat in Zhao Han's mouth, and he can eat it whenever he wants.

However, as a troop commander, Zhao Han was still very cautious before taking action. While the troops were preparing, Zhao Han also sent several reconnaissance planes to test the Japanese army.

If this was just a feint by the Japanese, it would not be fun if they fell into their trap and suffered losses later!
After receiving the feedback from the reconnaissance plane, Zhao Han was greatly encouraged and immediately ordered his troops to attack the Japanese troops on the ground.

Just when the army led by Zhao Han launched the final attack on the Japanese troops in the Tianjin area, the Red Alert force's fleet had already launched the third round of anti-ship missiles at the Japanese.

At this time, there were only two struggling heavy cruisers and six destroyers left in the Japanese advance fleet, and the number of missiles launched by the Red Alert was no longer 6, but 11.

After all, after these three rounds of missiles were launched, the Red Alert force only had 18 missiles left.

Under such circumstances, the Red Alert's intention to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese transport fleet in the Bohai Sea area had basically failed.

But now that they are here, these naval ships cannot come in vain.

Li Xiaochen decided to prepare all the combat ships and retreat after they had fired all the missiles. The main goal was to kill as many enemies as possible.

At the same time, the Japanese warships that were originally in the Tanggu waters were heading towards the double aircraft carrier fleet heading to the waters near Dazhushan Island.

They want to gather their forces and destroy the Chinese fleet in one fell swoop! (End of this chapter)
