The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

The Japanese navy in this era and the admirals of some countries have a good habit, that is, they insist on commanding in the bridge command room before the battle, and never hide in a safe place casually, which will be regarded as a lack of courage.

The Japanese are especially obvious. As captains or fleet commanders, they are in the day battle command room during the day and at night in the night battle command room. Stick to it without wavering.

Doing so can obviously boost morale. For example, if the chief is fighting on the front line, can the soldiers be discouraged and retreat casually?Of course not, the navy itself is a military force that relies on courage and knowledge and technology, and it must be tough with both hands.Not only must they be proficient in operating complex equipment with high technical content, but they must also have the courage to resist the bombardment of giant artillery, which is why they appear more delicate and arrogant than other arms.But this will soon be caught up and surpassed by the Air Force. In the future, the price of an advanced fighter will not be much cheaper than a warship, and it will still be operated by one person!

The officers on and off the Musashi are no exception. As representatives of the most powerful warships in the empire, they undoubtedly have to set an example. When a bunch of bombs fell, the people on the bridge were not directly killed, but almost all of them were killed or injured. In short, no one can command the battle anymore.

That's just what the first two bombs do!There are six more, follow closely!

Just as the shock wave of the first one converged and the mushroom cloud rose, the other six bombs fell down one after another, three hit the main body of the battleship accurately, and three exploded in the nearby sea water!

The three hits smashed into the front and rear decks respectively, and the huge explosion force blasted out two huge holes that opened toward the sky.The internal transverse impact tore apart most of the cabin structure, causing serious damage to the keel, the side hull burst and flooded, and two boilers exploded!

The destructive force of the three explosions in the water was not small at all. The impact and extrusion caused the bottom keel to twist, directly damaging half of the propeller and rudder plate.After crushing the armor belt more than ten meters long, it poked it in, so the irrigation became even more crazy!

As for the anti-aircraft artillery positions on both sides of the deck, basically no one could be seen, and the deck was repeatedly washed and swept away by the turbulent fire and air waves. Anyone who was not in the closed bunker was killed or injured. The thin auxiliary turrets and other anti-aircraft artillery positions were also shocked and injured, and the direct casualties exceeded [-] in a blink of an eye!

Although the three main turrets and the two auxiliary turrets did not directly hit the sky cover, the front and rear bombardment directly shook the middle of the turret, causing the people inside to initiate extremely serious injuries.For a while, the entire battleship was almost out of control!

After all the smoke and clouds from the explosion passed, everyone saw in astonishment that the Musashi, like a struggling homeless man, was covered in black rags and tatters, emitting thick smoke from the fire, and fell crookedly in the water. The water was badly causing the tilt to exceed an angle of 10 degrees.It looks like it's about to show its belly and turn over at any time!

Unfortunately, almost all of the upper half of the bridge collapsed.The wide and thick ship island seems to have been hit with a big hammer out of thin air, and I can't bear to see the broken ones. You can imagine what will happen to the people inside!

Nanyun Zhongyi's eyes were straightened at that time, and he stared blankly for half a minute with his mouth wide open, and then yelled: "Baga! The Chinese people are so unreasonable! How can they only face the imperialists?" Battleship attack! Shameless. Too shameless!"

He spoke Japanese too fast, and the translator didn't understand it for a while, but the pronunciation at the beginning was so classic that even the British and American officials knew what it meant without translation.Immediately, everyone's faces turned ugly!

After all, they are all lieutenant generals, a man of his age, who controls the huge military power of an empire, and you are actually swearing at people in front of you, what kind of quality is this!It's outrageous!

When the translator came back to his senses and understood what was going on behind him, the British guy almost lost his face on the spot: "Your uncle! What do you call a warship dedicated to attacking you! The little dwarf of the dog day is looking for himself, isn't your house the only one on the whole sea?" Are those two guys the biggest? It is very reasonable and logical to capture the thief first, and to fight the most threatening target first. What did the Chinese do wrong? What do you mean by facing us first? Is the small battleship going to attack?"

At this point, the commanders of the United Kingdom and the United States were really shocked!The strike ability displayed by Zhu Bin's warships and armed forces was shocking and frightening!

Not to mention the Air Force, until now four or five hundred planes are gone, think about it, less than twelve hours!What speed is this?Even if you are chasing and hitting it in the sky, it shouldn't be that fast?But it's really gone!

Then there are battleships!They are also huge monsters. They dare to fire and hit them at a distance of [-] kilometers, and they can hit them accurately and continuously at [-] kilometers. In just a few hours, they knocked out the two Yamatos. What an attack power!Thinking about the battleships of our two countries, the head armor is much worse than that of the Japanese. If the other party attacks themselves first... General Kimmel and Vice Admiral Philips suddenly felt that they were staying in North Calero. It was a huge mistake to direct on the Na number, this damn is too unsafe!

Then came the dreaded air-dropped bombs!They really have never seen such a big and powerful bomb!The pilots in the sky said that the bomber stayed above [-] meters and refused to come down. They couldn’t reach it and had no choice but to fall so fast that sharp-eyed people seemed to see small wings. The amount of explosives definitely exceeds that of the largest [-]-pound heavy bomb at present!

If it hits other battleships, one might blow up in two!

Finally, there is the incomprehensible missile!Dozens of battleships were swept away in one breath, which was even more terrifying than the legendary forbidden curse magic. What if we concentrated on attacking the capital ship?What will happen to that? !Their tall bridge, what a target it is!

The generals who were full of worries didn't care about talking to the Japanese. They had a complicated exchange of eyes and turned around. Immediately, the clever subordinates turned dark and suggested excitedly: "Sir! This place is already very unsafe! Go on!" Come down, we may encounter the enemy's key attack! For the command of the entire fleet, for the final victory, please board the aircraft and transfer to the aircraft carrier to control the overall situation!"

The generals didn't mean to say that they couldn't run away. General Kimmel was a man with no taboos, he dared to think, speak and act.But it is definitely not a brain-dead person who is screaming and dying. He agreed without hesitation. Lieutenant General Philips did not want to die for Japan and the United States. He was on behalf of the British Empire to provoke the Far East War and consume the power of several countries to create a balance. How could he die for the country without seeing the dawn of victory?That's so precarious!withdraw!

Nan Yunzhong's belly was like a toad.He opened and closed his mouth several times without uttering the words "I will never back down".As a commander, that's very immature!

Just do what they said, a group of dozens of No. [-] officers immediately withdrew from the bridge, those with high military rank directly boarded the carrier-based aircraft and took off one by one, while those with low military rank boarded the lifeboat and moved back. The speed was so neat.

At the same time, in order to ensure their safe transfer, the remaining three warships actively moved forward to attract firepower, and cooperated with the seven ships on the other side to continue to form an enveloping attack firepower. At the same time, anti-aircraft guns opened fire on suspicious areas in the sky.He even fired up the main guns, and continued to surround and beat the two Kunlun ships with secret shells!

The corresponding facilities on North Carolina were already ready, and the commanders left in a seaplane in a short while. The captain of the ship was a little relieved. Next, you can safely and boldly launch Done!

The shells flying randomly in the sky had a little impact on the bombers, after all, there were battleships below.No matter how small the caliber of the anti-aircraft artillery is, it is 133mm, and all of them can reach more than 127 meters.The Japanese 12mm high-angle gun is not accurate enough.The rate of fire is not high and it is at the bottom of the list, but the threat of the American mk127 dual-mounted [-]mm dual-purpose gun is great!

This 38-fold gun has extremely high accuracy. With its fire control radar and wireless proximity fuze shell, the damage effect on air targets is ten times that of the previous one!At the beginning, Zhu Bin plagiarized other people's designs and upgraded them to fully install all ships. They were used as the main guns of destroyers, secondary guns of cruisers and battleships, and even the dual main guns of guided missile cruisers.That performance, nothing to say!

This thing can also hit more than [-] meters, which means that the body tube cannot reach the bomber, but it also prevents the bomber from lowering the altitude easily to find excitement. It can support the air defense net to a distance and height beyond [-] meters.It can be said to be very awesome!

What is particularly eye-catching is that its wireless proximity fuze has no worse effect on gliding bombs than fighter planes, and its destruction accuracy at an altitude of 4000 meters is particularly amazing. Zhu Bin let the bomber drop four bombs in a row, but two were stopped, and he had to Do not step back for a distance.

Waiting for the escorting cruisers and destroyers to come up, they fired these shells into the air non-stop. It was a cost-effective way to force the bombers to retreat again and again. In the end, they simply exceeded the attack radius and couldn't reach the battleship!

Zhu Bin originally wanted to use bombers to directly deal with the remaining battleships, but now it seems that it is not so easy!Unless a large number of planes come up to fight in groups regardless of casualties, a wave of heavy bombardment by forty or fifty planes is probably the same, but there must be more than a dozen planes that may be hit hard.

Not counting the cost of US$50 million per plane and casualties, Zhu Bin can't accept this kind of loss ratio alone. He is willing to let others die, but he is not willing to let his own people lose their lives, let alone this kind of killing It's unnecessary to fight for a thousand to lose three hundred!

In the chaotic battle, the departure of a few seaplanes really didn't attract his attention, mainly because there were too many planes in this airspace, and he couldn't tell them apart, but he was happy to see the three enemy ships rushing up for excitement. When they arrived, they immediately lifted their spirits, slapped their hands and laughed loudly: "I thought they would run away in fright! They rushed up on their own initiative, okay, then the man will clean up you in a serious manner!"

Chen Shaokuan and the others had just withdrawn their attention from the power of the bomb gang fight, and they were a little unhappy to hear him say this: "As the navies of the three strongest countries in the world, their traditional spirit should be taken seriously! In battle, you can't meet Fleeing at the slightest loss is not the quality that the navy should have! You must not be too careless, or you will suffer!"

The seniors all had good intentions, and Zhu Bin accepted it humbly, but no matter how he did it, he still did it!With such a powerful force in his hands, it would be too shameful if the opponent's so-called spirit was frightened!

The two ships of the Kunlun lightly turned quickly on the sea surface, leaving behind the enemy ships of the β formation that had just approached, facing the three battleships that were approaching by the Alpha formation, and unceremoniously hit them head-on!

At this time, because of the strategic retreat of the North Carolina, the three prominent ships were George V of the United Kingdom, Washington of the United States, and Omi of Japan.The shapes are different, the firepower is completely different, and the strength is obvious.Among them, the three triple-mounted 410mm main guns of the Japanese "Omi" are more powerful and have the thickest armor, but this guy is obviously a little timid, and because of the formation method.The farthest away, the angle is wrong!

At this time, Zhu Bin's attention was on the two British and American warships that participated in the battle for the first time.

The tonnage is about the same, but the caliber of the main gun is quite different. In all aspects, the British have made a very file, and the shells they hit are soft and have little strength.

But being weak doesn't mean you can ignore it. In fact, Zhu Bin would say that the person he hates the most is not the Japanese, but the British guy who stirs up trouble everywhere!

If it weren't for the British bastards making trouble.The central plan led to the collapse of the WorldCom Group, and the blockade and siege of the entire Western world. He would never make trouble with several countries so quickly. Even if the time is postponed for half a year, he will calmly clean up Japan first, and then Continue to rectify the entire Far East force, and take steady actions step by step after full preparation.In his timetable, the full-scale conflict will have to wait until next year when the ocean-going fleet is fully formed!

The British rely on their boss qualifications.The skillful use of checks and balances to provoke disputes forced Zhu Bin to be ruthless.As a result, it was out of control, and until today there is no room for buffering, and I am surrounded by enemies on all sides. Even if I am not afraid, it is still very uncomfortable!

So Zhu Bin just flipped his glasses on a few battleships, and he took out the George V first.Send an order to the two battleships: "Sink her first! Let the Brits taste our cannonballs first!"

It doesn't matter if the two battleships hit anyone, they are all the same threat anyway, and they will all have to be dealt with sooner or later. The big boss said to fight that one first, whichever is better!

The two giant ships sailed together.The six main gun turrets were aiming at the same time, booming and booming for three consecutive rounds at 25 kilometers, and the George V hadn't figured out what was going on, and inexplicably hula la attracted a large number of shells!

The two shells hit in a row made the British almost go crazy on the spot!For nothing else, that power is too great!

A shell hit the quadruple-mounted main turret in the front. The pitiful 324mm main panel armor was vulnerable to the 420mm shell with strong penetrating power. With a loud bang, the entire turret was basically blown to pieces!

The impact of the second shell was even more vicious. It shot directly from the thickest part of the waterline armor, pierced through multiple compartments and blasted into the main boiler compartment. The explosion caused the explosion of two Parsonian boilers, and the entire battleship immediately exploded. Turn into a big ball of fire, burning steaming hot!

It's not over yet!Of the two shells hit by the third round of salvo, one hit the middle of the island. After the terrible kinetic energy penetrated into it, it blew up the back half of the middle, causing the mainmast to collapse on the spot, and the other shell smashed into the root of the chimney, and thick The smoke was boiling and submerged the entire battleship, and more than 1000 manned crew members were killed and more than 300 were injured, basically losing their combat effectiveness.

Zhu Bin didn't have the idea of ​​forgiving and forgiving, so he took advantage of his illness to kill him!

Another two rounds of volleys were fired, and one shell was so lucky that it easily penetrated the thick horizontal armor and penetrated into the engine room, causing a big explosion that almost tore the battleship apart. Another shell smashed through the opening of the front turret. It triggered the explosion of the ammunition depot, and a huge mushroom cloud with a height of 600 meters exploded. The [-]-ton warship jumped violently on the sea surface, creaked and cracked a terrifying hole, and quickly poured water crookedly and sank!

From the beginning to the end, the people on the entire battleship have not even come back to their senses!

The plane of Lieutenant General Philips had just left the radio shielding area when he received a report that was transmitted over and over again. He almost fainted at that time!As soon as I left, the capital ship exploded, what kind of style is this damn!Is it intentionally disgusting?

However, his heart was more filled with embarrassment and anger, and he ordered viciously: "We must kill all the Chinese warships at all costs! It's disgusting!"

This tone, you can figure it out!He led the team out to severely threaten these ignorant guys in the Far East, and let them know that the British Empire is still the world's largest country, and not just anyone can pierce it. Don't accept it?Beat it!

Before departure, Churchill's rhetoric was not a joke, it was true. A sense of arrogance from the Victorian era filled it. Except for the UK, the whole world is a low-class person. The British Empire sent the most advanced warships, which is to let You bastards are knowledgeable, what is rich and what is high class!

But this was a bit of a blow to the head, and the representative British gentleman has not yet awakened.

So Zhu Bin unceremoniously added another fire to it!

Seeing that the George V was basically hopeless, he turned around and saw the battlecruiser "Retaliation" joining the β formation!

This guy is not much smaller than a battleship, the caliber of the main gun even exceeds that of George V, and the speed is not slow, but the armor is a little thin, but in the British Navy, he is a well-known veteran!It has been over [-] years since it was built, and it is still old and full of ambitions!

Zhu Bin doesn't care if he is a senior or not, as long as the Union Jack is flying, it must be her bad luck first!At this time, it is not appropriate to let the battleship turn around randomly, so I ordered the "Yingzhou" to start, and after aiming, four anti-ship missiles hit it in one breath! (To be continued..)
