The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

The second batch of 17 ninety-seven attack ships was supposed to attack in 1 minute, but seeing that the partner in front died so terribly, the strange bullet rain swept from two directions was so accurate and terrifying To such an extent, where do you not know what strange weapons must be installed on the opponent's warship?

But now they can't help them change their strategy. If they want to climb from a height of 4000 meters to 10 meters, they need to fly for at least [-] minutes. For such a long time, they are all in the circle of other fleets. It is enough to torture them to death ten times , for the current plan, only fight!

All the ninety-seven warships dived to 60 meters at the same time, preparing to drop the torpedo at an angle of 22 degrees. In that case, after about 1 minute, an exciting water column of fire could be seen rushing into the sky!Their mission can be accomplished!

However, things backfired!They obviously lack the most basic understanding of how abnormal the enemy they are facing is!

More than a dozen fire whips suddenly killed!The close-in defense turret calibrated by du li fire control radar and laser, and the steering and aiming speed driven by high-power stepping motors are calculated in milliseconds!Not to mention their slow fighters, even higher-speed subsonic fighters, and even large artillery shells with terminal speeds lower than the speed of sound, are all intercepted!

None of the 17 ninety-seven ships escaped, and they all exploded in the air in less than 5 seconds. The neat explosion scene seemed as if they had hit an invisible barrier. Looking at it from a high altitude, the huge battleship He and the aircraft carrier are like terrifying giants with arms, with a single wave, everything is shattered!

at this time.The group of a6m3 fighter jets that escaped by chance had just pulled up, and they didn't even break out of the fleet's defensive circle, and were left behind by them.The pilot who took the time to turn his head to watch the excitement suddenly turned cold!

They were able to escape smoothly, not because they had crossed the opponent's defensive fire net, but because they chose to strike at the target!

"Quick retreat! Leave all!"

A shrill cry sounded on the radio, and all the fighter planes accelerated desperately. Although they had the fastest climbing speed in the world, they pulled up powerfully with the high speed of the dive, but they wanted to rush out of the killing range of the anti-aircraft artillery .It takes at least 1 minute, and this 1 minute is doomed to their fate!

Destroyer guns in the second half, fire!The heavy cruiser turned past the turret.fire!The secondary battery of the battleship!The cannons of the aircraft carrier, fire together!

The deafening series of explosions made the sea surface with a radius of more than ten kilometers seem to be plunged into the middle of a thunderstorm. Thousands of shells swarmed to various heights, from the lowest 1000-meter machine gun to the 2000-meter near-defense gun. , 3000-meter Bofors gun, 4000-meter 76.2 three-inch gun, 5000 and 105 high-level dual-purpose guns above 127 meters, and various explosives or fixed height, or radio bombs.Booming and rumbling one after another, the sky and the earth seemed to be turned upside down, and the boiling smoke suddenly blocked the sunlight covered by the clear sky!

Racks of machines were shattered and disintegrated, and even the larger structures couldn't be maintained.Whether the pilot likes it or not, skydiving does not skydive.All of them were sucked into the infinite killing fire hell and turned into a mass of fleshy meat, which crashed into the sea.

Several destroyers walking behind were hit.The wreckage of the burning plane fell down with a "thunderbolt" and hit the deck. Although it could not cause much damage, relatively weak places such as machine guns and chimneys could not stand it!The people on the deck hurriedly hid in the bunker, and the explosion foam of the fire extinguisher kept splashing large white droplets, making it look like a mess.

In the command room of the "Chicheng", the three staff members hung up the phone, their faces turned pale, and they stammered: "Report to Your Excellency, Commander! The first wave of fighter jets attacked the group, and all pieces of jade were broken! ... Did not achieve any scheduled results !"

"What mud?!"

Chief of Staff Imo Takahashi exclaimed in disbelief: "How is that possible! There are a total of 120 fighters, but they are the best pilots in the empire! They are also equipped with our carefully formulated combat plan, even in the face of powerful anti-aircraft firepower. , can also break through! This has been proved through many exercises, even our huge fleet can't stop them, how could they...!"

Yamamoto 56 raised his hand to stop him, squinted his eyes slightly, and muttered meaningfully: "Is all the jade broken? It seems that the air defense force of the China Fleet is stronger than we expected! More than 100 aircraft attacked The answer to the riddle is indeed not enough! There are still too few aircraft carriers!"

He looked up again, and outside the porthole, he could vaguely see the group of flexible "flying sharks" fighting with the second wave of fighters outside the limit range of the fleet's anti-aircraft firepower. He nodded thoughtfully: "It seems, The other side probably knew that a surprise attack with insufficient numbers of planes would be impossible to achieve results, so they did not strike immediately. It’s a pity.”

Air strikes and air defense are the two sides of the spear and the shield. Everyone wants to gain the upper hand, but it is very difficult to figure out the point that breaks the balance.

Yamamoto 56 has always believed that aircraft will definitely defeat all surface ships, intensive dive bombing can completely destroy all warships, and heavy bombs and torpedoes dropped from high altitude will become unstoppable killers, at least a few years ago, His theory is undeniably correct.

In the several wars against China, the experience of the Navy’s losses made him realize that the air defense capabilities of warships are also constantly being strengthened. As long as it reaches a certain level, for weak fighters, dive bombing is no different from suicide. .The number of fleets, flight speed, and attack technology must all be strengthened.

In order to achieve this goal, he personally sank his heart and devoted himself to research for many years, and only then did he have the seemingly huge attack formation today.The four aircraft carriers in one attack alone carry more than 200 fighters of various types, which is about a quarter of the entire navy's carrier-based aircraft. Such a scale is unprecedented, and even the most modified The fleet that passed the air defense may not be able to stop it, but unexpectedly, it failed!

"It is estimated that those stubborn guys will laugh at me when they know this news?" Yamamoto 56 shook his head with a self-deprecating smile, and then recovered his calm face.The order said, "Let the second attack aircraft group continue to fight with the China fighter jets, and make sure that they do not have the opportunity to attack the fleet. At the same time, all ships move forward quickly, and strive to form a close-range deterrent to the enemy fleet as soon as possible!"

If the air force can't break through, then just continue to fight the cannons!

In this regard, Yamamoto 56 is not worried. On his side, there are four battleships. Nagato and Mutsu have the same main guns as the opponent, although the number is 2 fewer.However, the other two Ise and Rixiang each have eight 8mm main guns, enough to form an overwhelming firepower density, and the other eight heavy cruisers.It is much more powerful than the opponent's firepower, even if you fight head-on, the chances of winning are huge!

After thinking for a while, Yamamoto said again: "Order the second battle group to speed up and approach as soon as possible. When it is scheduled to reach 200 nautical miles, the carrier-based fighter jets can take off first, forming an advantage over the Chinese air force. Try to launch the first battle before the fleet enters the artillery confrontation distance. Second air strike!"

"Hi!" The three staff officers repeated the order without error, and sent it out immediately.

Takahashi Yiwang looked up at his determined expression.He swallowed back the words of dissuasion that came to his lips.It is too difficult to persuade the commander not to play the air force to win.Or let him try it out.

In the second battle group, two newly completed aircraft carriers, "Canglong" and "Flying Dragon", were assembled. In 35, the two "Kaga" ships were almost finished. They thought they were going to be scrapped, so they had to carry out the aircraft carrier supplement plan in advance. The two ships were almost the same, each carrying 57+16 fighters, but the two ships with 152000 horsepower could reach 34.5 knots. High speed, a model of the latest generation of high-speed warships.

At the same time as them, there were four battleships "Hiei", "Kirishima", "Fuso", and "Yamashiro", which were equipped with heavy cruisers and destroyers. They almost set off with the first team, but the direction was straight. Cut to the south, circumnavigate South Bird Island along the Ogasawara Islands, almost chasing the tail of the first squadron of the task force to form a two-sided attack.

Now, the second team is still hundreds of nautical miles away from here, and if they run at the full maximum speed of 24 knots, it will take several hours.As long as the enemy ships do not evade intentionally, then a few hours later, both sides will enter the firing range of the naval guns at the same time. At that time, there will be a spectacular scene of two powerful fleets separated by tens of nautical miles, and eight battleships fighting in groups!

"With such a powerful artillery attack, no matter how cunning the Chinese people are, it is absolutely impossible to escape! They are dead!"

Thinking of the spectacular scene where hundreds of giant cannons roared together and half of the ocean was about to be turned upside down, San Ben's staff couldn't help but burst into blood!As a member of the Imperial Army, if you can encounter such a great battle in your life, you can rest in peace even if you die!

In the sky, nearly 4000 fighter planes from both sides had clear barriers, each formed a formation and kept entangled at an altitude of 30 meters or more. The -25 dive bombers hid aside and circled freely, calmly watching the 72 "flying sharks" circle around with the Japanese fighters, always drifting at a distance of more than ten kilometers from the Japanese warships, and from time to time divided into 12 squadrons to rush in All of a sudden, as long as the blockers are attracted, they will immediately turn around and entangle for a few moments. It's a short shot to be cold, which makes the Japanese military aircraft group extremely annoying.

Under this weird situation, the Japanese Army's No. [-] Squad opened its formation non-stop, charged straight ahead, and was ready to seize the T-head at any time, forming a battle line to strike first!

The two sides moved forward at the same time. After two hours, they were close to 100 nautical miles. The two huge clusters were like super arrows with a width of tens of miles.In the sky on the east side, the long-range patrol plane taking off from Hawaii, USA is speeding up. It is so lively, you must watch it!

"Report! The second fleet of the Japanese army has detoured to 120 nautical miles away from our side at seven o'clock, with a speed of about 24 knots. Its carrier aircraft group has taken off and is heading for the enemy's first fleet to meet up!"

The reconnaissance report from the outer submarines was laid out in detail on the desk. Chen Shaokuan lowered his head and glanced at the chart, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up: "Hehe, I want to attack from head to tail, let's make dumplings! It's a good idea!"

He straightened up, his face shone with unprecedented brilliance, and said loudly: "Order the fleet to move forward at full speed, direction 280, let's see who runs faster!"
