The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Knowing that their speed was not strong enough to catch up with the enemy, the first team of the Japanese Army was very aggrieved, leaving behind people to salvage the sunk soldiers and sailors, and then made a full turn and rushed in to change the current very unfavorable position. Simultaneously dispatched two ships with speeds as high as The 37-knot destroyer followed evasively from behind, and chased after it like a dog-skin plaster because of its small and flexible body.

The reconnaissance planes are almost tossing away. Yamamoto 56's distressed teeth are cold, but he can't be blind on the battlefield, so he has to let the destroyers go to the top. Only their speed can chase those fast and annoying opponents.

The task force resumed blackout and silence, but on the left side, two heavy cruisers and two aircraft carriers quietly left the main formation, together with six destroyers and a supply ship, turned southeast in a circle, but then turned northwest at high speed. The direction of the route cuts across the tail of the Japanese fleet, which has just completed a U-turn. Take a look at the tail of the fleet, which has already entered the main artillery firing range. The two heavy cruisers quietly erected the triple-mounted turrets without even saying hello. They suddenly fired a clear high-explosive shell. Hu rumbling like a swarm to the ships behind the Japanese army!

The turret with the aid of a delay coil evenly sent the shells [-] kilometers away. The destroyer behind the Japanese army immediately noticed the muzzle flash and hurriedly rang the bell and shouted at the entire fleet: "Enemy ship shelling!"

Already suffered a cold run attack, the entire Japanese army's first team cheered up and didn't dare to be careless. The police reported that the people under the ship were already in combat positions, and they were completely unable to use anti-aircraft weapons and small-caliber weapons that could not help. The soldiers operating auxiliary weapons simply hid and prayed that the opponent's large-caliber shells would not hit their heads—if it was the terrifying 406mm main gun with more than one ton of heavy shells.No one can hold it except the battleship!

Regardless of whether it was locked or not, the lagging Japanese ships made evasive changes one after another. They roughly judged that the opponent's shells would have to fly for nearly a minute to reach them, even if they opened up a little distance, at least it would be good to leave the original place.

In the ear-piercing siren.Several battleships pulled out S-shaped wakes at their tails, turned around desperately from the original direct flight, at least don't face backwards and get beaten!

十八枚203mm炮弹破空袭来！德国血统的60倍身管（包括药室）让她们拥有长达33540米的恐怖she程。跟两艘战列舰主炮有一比而jing确程度却高出何止几倍！122公斤重的弹头内29.7公斤的高爆主火药在炮弹落入海水中的刹那骤然激发。轰轰的爆炸声又一次撕开寂静的夜空！

Such a range and such explosive power are no different from battleship armor-piercing projectiles!Many Japanese soldiers instinctively thought that they had been stared at by that big guy for a while, so frightened that they were out of their wits, hugging their heads and lying on the strongest place under the deck, shivering!

The two heavy cruisers could have tossed around with a high firing speed of 8 rounds per minute, but at this time they were slow to maintain a density of [-] rounds per minute to fully stabilize the turret.Aim and prepare, and then launch the next round of attack. The shells fired by the two ships alternately, the air-cracking whistling of the gun, suddenly sounds like an aggressive attack!

The several Japanese destroyers that were drawn into the attack range immediately looked like small sampans in the monstrous waves.The super-heavy deck building with design problems is violently shaking back and forth under the impact of the waves caused by the rapid change of direction and near miss There was a loud noise, and the water column soaring into the sky was blown by the wind and rushed over.Immediately, he was beaten into the air and screamed and fell into the sea water tens of meters below, a wave rolled over him and he disappeared.

Yamamoto 56's ship had rushed to the front of the right wing at this time, as far away as possible from the opponent's main gun, and the sudden explosion and attack alert from the rear made the bloodshot eyes in his eyes almost burst. "Beng" jumped wildly, rushed to the porthole with a cold face, looked intently, and saw balls of flames shining non-stop more than ten kilometers away, ups and downs, and his own ship was illuminated from time to time, and his precarious swaying posture made him unable to bear it. Shake!

"Cunning guy! He went around behind!" Yamamoto 56 gritted his teeth and muttered bitterly. It was simply too difficult to deal with!Could it be that these guys had expected to be surrounded?

The possibility is not great!If I knew that I was being watched by the entire Japanese navy, I would never be so entangled and would only choose to escape wisely. No one would dare to joke with all my wealth and the future of the entire country!

It seems that they want to keep harassing and adopt cannibalism tactics to eat themselves up one bite at a time!

Commander Yamamoto sighed in his heart that the warships he led were still too old and had fallen behind the world's navies' cutting-edge warships in an all-round way. * No matter from the most basic keel, hull steel plate strength, manufacturing technology, equipment weapon ratio and power system, all are greatly insufficient, even after the maximum modernization, the inherent deficiency is destined to be impossible to surpass.

And the opponent's mobility is now judged to be at least 30 knots or even higher than the own side, which is much faster!This means that the two battleships they are most likely to hold back have such speeds, which are terrifyingly faster than the similar ones that have been built all over the world!

And seeing that they dare to leave the mainland for two or three thousand nautical miles, the maximum voyage should not be less than eight thousand nautical miles or even ten thousand nautical miles. Such excellent data is concentrated on a hull of only 3.5 tons, which is incredible!

Could it be that they also sacrificed the thickness of their armor in exchange for high offensive performance like their own capital ships?Probably, the Chinese who have obtained Germany's excellent metallurgical technology and their powerful "titanium alloy" may be able to create some miracles. Just look at the range and power of their offensive main guns.

But the problem is that it is really uncomfortable to be chased and beaten by such an enemy with "kite tactics"!

Yamamoto 56 realizes that they don't want to be safe tonight, and don't expect to easily let the opponent fall into the encirclement trap. The enemy ships with superior speed will definitely try their best to make money at night!

"It's not that easy!" Yamamoto finally couldn't hold back and punched Sanben's staff hard on the table, "The fleet is advancing at full speed to get out of the range of the enemy's main artillery, and after confirming its course, the right rudder outflanks and telegraphs the second team to abandon the east. Xiang Ceying flew directly to Zhengbei and changed positions with our department!"

Huo Ting stared at the chart and slapped the model representing the main force of the task force at a distance of more than 20 nautical miles due north. Yamamoto 56 unconsciously clenched his teeth.

He was also ruthless, since the other party is biting hard and won't let go, then treat it as a Dinghaishen needle!As long as you hold the central yang position, no matter which direction you turn, you will always be close. In a few hours, the second team will be able to outflank them. If you change formation at will, you can wrap them into the encirclement!We'll see how he turns around then!

After six rounds in a row, the squadron headed by two heavy cruisers and two aircraft carriers continued to drive westwards, showing their bodies, so that the Japanese reconnaissance planes could only see the huge figures of the aircraft carriers from a distance, and then beat them up. Lose.

Yamamoto never imagined that the opponent would dare to divide his forces when he was in a weak state. The entire first team gave up and entangled.

At this time, the second team, which had sailed eastward for almost 56 nautical miles and was almost tied with Yamamoto [-], after receiving the order, Commander Yoshida Zengo finally couldn't help but spit and shouted: "Commander Yamamoto, what are you doing? ! How many times a day has changed direction, can't you catch the Chinese fleet once?"

As the commander of the First Fleet, what he dislikes most is the unorganized guy who can't follow the plan. For the sake of Minister Minaikai, he let Yamamoto lead the attack plan this time and put down his body to lead the Second Squadron as a backup. Let him stand out and get the greatest chance of honor to save the decency lost in the past few years.Of course, he himself hated Zhu Bin's troops so much that he gritted his teeth. The two parties had an enmity six years ago, and this account has not been properly settled!

New and old grudges and Yoshida Yoshigo have good reason to go to battle. After several months of careful planning, he was determined to be foolproof. He was even ecstatic when he learned that the opponent rushed into the encirclement. The preparation state is waiting for the thunderbolt to kill the opponent.

Unexpectedly, the situation here at Yamamoto 56 is frequent. After a day, it has been tossed and tossed several times. Even the first team was attacked twice.

The chief of staff, Fukushige, comforted: "Probably the Chinese fleet is too cunning to know that it is not enough to fight against the powerful strength of the Imperial Navy and is just dying."

Yoshida Zengo twisted his nose and hummed, such a statement is unbelievable!I'm afraid that guy Yamamoto has been insisting on his so-called "air force to win", and he has forgotten that the glory of the Imperial Navy is based on the huge main battery surface command ability is disordered?

Fiercely spit out a heavy anger, Commander Yoshida said sullenly: "Do it!"

The huge fleet of the Second Squadron turned left rudder and rushed towards the true north. According to the latest information, it will pass by the tail of the First Squadron one hour later and just intercept the rear of the enemy ship.The battle is expected to start in 1 hours!

But he never expected that less than half an hour after he turned around, the two battleships led by Chen Shaokuan and half of the rest of the ships staggered past the outer destroyers, and the closest distance between the two sides was even less than 20 nautical miles.

Chen Shaokuan, who had everything in his hands now, ordered the fleet to head westward and approach at a high speed of about [-] nautical miles after forming a [-]-degree angle with the Yamamoto fleet again! (to be continued)rq
