The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

A large group of Boeing's swan song b-17 heavy bombers and McDonnell Douglas' pb4y bombers specially provided for the navy, after departing from Japan, they went around a long distance and finally arrived at the battlefield!

Going down this road is really not easy.Fearing that arriving in Japan ahead of time might be destroyed by the Chinese Air Force, the U.S. military had to disperse and park its huge fleet in places such as Hawaii and Wake Island before taking off and flying here before the war started.Another group flew to the Philippines ahead of schedule. They were also worried about being violently attacked, so they hid carefully and did not participate in the battle, or they felt that they might not be needed.

The sudden turn of the battle situation forced the Allied Forces Command to pull out these precious killers in advance. Not long after arriving in Japan, the bomber formation that had not yet rested was summoned and hurried on their way.

But they didn't expect that even if they were wary of being detected by radar in advance, they specially let the plane take off from the main island and run eastward for several hundred kilometers before turning to Ryukyu.But they didn't know that the power of the radar station installed on the Ryukyu Islands far exceeds the radius of [-] kilometers!From afar, I saw them clearly!

When he first found out, Zhu Bin was also taken aback!Good guy, the radar screen is full of black and white!According to the preliminary judgment, there are at least a hundred or so, which almost reached the limit of the transition tolerance!

It is really a bit extravagant to only use it on a piece of sea area!In fact, the U.S. military was originally planning to use it to directly bomb key air defense facilities on the Ryukyu main island after winning the air supremacy and winning the sea battle, and even directly bombed mainland China to deal a heavy blow to Zhu Bin.

Unexpectedly, the plan was all messed up, and they directly pulled in to bomb the battleship.Speaking of it, that thing is not very suitable, but now all the tricks have been exhausted.I had no choice but to make do with it, regardless of the cost, as long as I could kill the three battleships in front of me and win the final victory, no matter how big the loss was, I would accept it!

More than 100 four-engine heavy bombers!Divided into small groups and lined up in the air, it can form an area of ​​influence with a radius of tens of kilometers!You must know that each of this thing is equipped with more than a dozen 12.7mm heavy machine guns.The ceiling is close to tens of thousands of meters, and the range is more than [-] kilometers. Generally, high-altitude interceptors want to deal with them, or they will end up miserable.

In particular, the Yankees were willing to spend a lot of money, making each plane rough and thick. Ordinary machine guns were not deadly enough to hit them, but they might have been taken down by heavy machine guns with abnormal ranges.This large group of bombers is a bunch of hedgehogs!

At least for others, it is a very difficult bone to chew.

But for Zhu Bin.That is to say, I was taken a little by surprise, and then laughed happily.Chen Shaokuan had never seen such an extravagant attack method. He counted with his fingers and couldn't help but be speechless: "The Americans are really rich! There are more than a hundred of these heavy bombers worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. If they can be sent out continuously, I am afraid that there will be no need to fight on the ground. Bombing will also blow up people!"

Zhu Bin also spread his hands helplessly, and sighed: "After all, they are the largest economy in the world. The industrial production capacity is equivalent to the sum of a lot of powerful countries behind, which is very scary in this era! And they don't lack any domestic Raw materials are not afraid of being stuck in the neck. The mineral resources are much richer than our country, and it is easy to mine. The population is small and the burden is light. Industrialization is early and production efficiency is high, the overall level of national education is high, and a lot of advantages are listed. That is a huge and terrifying monster that is impossible to swallow!"

"Knowing that the United States is an invincible monster, why do you mess with them?"

Chen Shaokuan gave him a hard look.It is not a shame to say this!You kid knows everything, but you never stop to cause trouble!Why do you have to rush to completely tear yourself apart with the great powers?It is not easy to get rid of the great powers in 20 years and achieve prosperity and independence of the country.But you want to rush to complete the work within three to five years, and now all the problems have exploded?

Zhu Bin laughed shamelessly: "I am also forced by the situation! We have been in the Great China before, and we were bullied by a bunch of devils who haven't brushed their hairs. I can't be angry!"

Shen Honglie and others also helped to say good things: "Without President Zhu's enterprising spirit, I am afraid we would not be where we are today! It is worthy of recognition and encouragement! As long as we can survive the pressure of the British and American attacks, our future will be It will be a smooth journey!"

Chen Shaokuan snorted and said no more.He didn't have any opinions, but he realized from the bottom of his heart that Zhu Bin was not authentic, ambitious, generous, and tempered, but he couldn't figure out what he wanted to do.Chen Shaokuan didn't believe in the so-called national upliftment, national independence, world peace and so many high-sounding slogans he was talking about.

For such a dangerous person who holds terrible force in his hands but doesn't know what he wants to do, he must be more careful, beat and beat when he has the opportunity, so as to avoid a big trouble that can't be dealt with!Right now, there seems to be some signs, this kid is actually very happy about the joint development with the world's three major naval powers!

This is very abnormal!

Of course, Chen Shaokuan never expressed similar attitudes and meanings to other people. He just observed carefully, took care of him carefully, subtly influenced the spring wind and rain, tried to gather Zhu Bin's wild and unruly heart, and devoted all his energy to the righteous way.

Zhu Bin didn't have time to guess the complicated intentions of the old senior. He was a little flattered and surprised to see the Yankee so solemnly set up a dragon formation to deal with him, and couldn't help being complacent: "But speaking of it, we are not completely There is no confidence. All the basic industries, heavy industries and all industries we have established over the years are established according to the most advanced assembly line production system, scientific management, and macro control of the unified industry system. Whether it is production efficiency or products In terms of quality, the output from any factory is no worse than the best in the United States!"

In the early 30s, China's basic industry and heavy industry were almost blank, and the population of high-quality industries was pitifully small.But this has the advantage that you can draw on a piece of white paper without all the constraints before.

While fishing for gold from the bottom of the sea, Zhu Bin systematically introduced various industrial facilities, and then introduced hundreds of thousands of skilled workers and management talents from various countries.Up to now, there are about 50 foreign devils who have worked in China before and after!This is not counting the hundreds of thousands of professors and experts in the City of Light and various universities!

With these people as the foundation, tens of millions of qualified industrial workers have been trained.They adopted a scientifically planned assembly line operation system and an advanced management system, and spent five years building up the first echelon team, and then the masters led apprentices to turn the tens of millions of young workers trained each year into even larger basic industry workers.In terms of the number of workers in China today, it is no less than the United States!

Secondly, Zhu Bin is not afraid of the blockade at all. What minerals cannot be found in China?It can be found in the sea where there is no ground, or it can be synthesized and processed. With technology and equipment, you are not afraid of anything!

Even if it was going to start a resource consumption war with the Yankees, Zhu Bin felt that he could probably hold on.Anyway, the two sides are fighting each other across the vast Pacific Ocean, and the preparation time difference in the middle is enough to do all kinds of supplementary work for production. At that time, as long as one's own side is doing well enough, the demographic dividend can still be eaten.

A group of old-timers have no say in this kind of thing, and now they can't even pick up their own stuff, so they can only stay in their positions and help suppress a group of middle-level naval officers.Helping to escort the escort is barely considered a vegetarian meal for the corpse.

Zhu Bin deliberately talked.It was also to let them all relax, so as not to be frightened by his overwhelming danger of attack.It was thanks to his well-informed intelligence, and let the old gentlemen know that these bombers of the Yankees can carry seven or eight tons of bombs, and there are more than 100 of them.It can pull thousands of tons of bombs at once!

Thousands of tons!At their young age, it was enough to fight a war!The Yankees are the ones who put out the amount of an attack. If you count the war, it may increase by at least a hundred times!One hundred thousand tons!Just thinking about it makes people dizzy!That would probably blow up Ryukyu Island to nothingness!

Not an exaggeration!The Yankee can really do it!Their annual production of explosives is over one million tons, why keep them for use?It's not uncommon to go to war!

The witty remark is over.There should be no ambiguity about how things should be done.Without waiting for the bombers to approach, Zhu Bin immediately dispatched all 24 "Flying Dragon" jet fighters to deal with the uninvited guests.

No way, to deal with these big guys, we must rely on the ceiling and high-altitude combat advantages to catch them off guard, so as to ensure that the number of fighters is small and avoid casualties as much as possible. The "Flying Shark" fighter is not bad. The climb rate of the propeller plane can't keep up, and it is easy to be entangled by the escorting enemy plane.

At this time, Zhu Bin especially felt that the armed forces in his hands were still not enough, too few!Once the battlefield is scattered, it will not be enough to support it!Unless Ryukyu can have hundreds of jet fighters, or five hundred flying sharks, it really can't handle the dispatch density of hundreds of them at every turn these years.Looking back, we still have to expand the factory severely!

24 Flying Dragon fighters are already the total number of advanced fighters that Ryukyu can dispatch. If there are more, the production speed cannot keep up!Now the enemy's fighter jets and carrier-based bombers are almost dead, leaving some of them as escorts, and they can all be freed up to perform fast combat missions.

Going back to refuel, reload and overhaul the ground staff for a while, and when the bomber reached the airspace of [-] kilometers, the six replacement fighters launched the attack first, fully loaded with combat ammunition and full of machine shells, which greatly squeezed the limit of the bomb loading capacity, anyway, fighting at the door of the house , the combat radius is only [-] kilometers, and the standard fuel is enough to toss!

After taking off, the six Wyvern fighters climbed all the way to an altitude of [-] meters, overlooking the American bombers that began to slowly lower their heights, spread out their offensive formations, and prepared to bomb the warships on the sea!

Flying at full speed, these guys will be able to reach the combat zone in another 10 to [-] minutes, and there is not much time left for the interceptor crew.

Without further ado, the six Wyverns didn't even need a two-aircraft formation. They just spread out one-on-one, dived in the air, and launched two missiles in one group, and quietly fired at a team of B-17 flying in the forefront!

When the Yankee found out, the missile had already hit the plane!No matter how strong the b-17 is, it still can't withstand the damage of fighting bombs! At a speed of Mach 2.5, the 35-kilogram energy-concentrated armor-piercing warhead ejects deadly prefabricated fragments, and it can violently eject a big hole in the sturdy body at a short distance!No matter how strong you are, you can't handle it!

For a while, the bomber fleet was in chaos!The Dragon fighter jets wiped out a total of 36 missiles in one go, nineteen B-17s billowed black smoke on the spot, and ten of them were seriously damaged.It creaked and couldn't hold back the tearing of the high-air flow, and it burst, and it lost control crookedly, and fell towards the sea!

The severity of the injuries to the other nine planes varies, but judging by the smoldering posture, I am afraid that even if they stick to the combat airspace, they will not be able to safely drop their bombs—if they fly too low.That's purely feeding the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft missiles of the three warships!

With all the missiles fired, all the Wyvern fighters were relaxed and pushed into the visual combat airspace. The escort fighters, which were flying at low altitudes, hurriedly pulled up. From the perspective of the Wyvern fighters, they slowly climbed to the altitude of 8000 meters. Ready to find an opponent to start a fight.

The rest of the intact bombers did not dare to neglect, and the twin 12.7mm heavy machine guns on the top of the cockpit immediately fired wildly, trying to hit those fast jet fighters that came and went like lightning!

How can it be so easy!Compared with their flying speed of more than 400 kilometers, the flying dragon with a limit speed of nearly 1300 kilometers is simply a magic weapon.Although the specially designed air-optimized aerodynamic layout sacrifices some speed, it is definitely excellent in terms of maneuverability!

A stance team composed of tens of thousands of the best pilots of the Chinese Air Force, all of them are playing with the steel eagles like arms and fingers, and they are full of domineering arbitrariness. The machine guns will shoot short bursts from time to time, and clusters of explosions The light continuously opened holes the size of basketballs in b-17's body!

That was the breach from the explosion recoil after the hit!If it happens to hit a steel structure, the warhead will penetrate halfway and explode to form a fan-shaped jet, which can smash a large number of people in the cabin on the spot! The power of 25mm shells.That is not to be underestimated!

The escort fighter plane that finally climbed up was rushed by the flying dragon before it could stabilize its position.Kill more than a dozen of them in one go with machine guns, and the rest just hid beside the bombers if they didn't see things well. Everyone worked hard to form a group and gather firepower to slash, and count as much as you can shoot down!

When the Dragon fighter plane ran out of ammunition and had to return, the battlefield had basically entered the airspace above the battleship.The coalition ships cheered happily!

Regardless of the more than 30 bombers that were killed, there are still seventy or eighty bombers!When each one is stretched out, the wings more than 30 meters wide seem to be as spectacular as covering the dark clouds!

These scarred and shocked guys were unable to notify the people below by radio, so they had to use a predetermined maneuvering posture to remind them, and then prepared to rush into the encirclement.Level bombing!

The four-engine heavy bombardment can only attack in this posture, but it cannot dive at low altitudes compared with biplane bombers. They need to slowly descend from high altitudes, aim at the seemingly small warships on the sea below 4000 meters, and then The horizontal and stable bombing depends on the intensive bombing of dense aircraft groups to win.

The bombers are loaded with heavy bombs that are specially designed to deal with heavy battleships and super-thick armor!The small ones can weigh 500 pounds, and the big ones can weigh thousands of pounds!As long as it hits once, even if it can't penetrate the battleship level armor, it will definitely bring great damage!

The remaining 4 or [-] aircraft in the escort fleet, including Japan's Ultimate Zero Fighter and the American F[-]U, split into several groups to accelerate the dive, and help the bombers attract the anti-aircraft artillery of the battleship first. With a fearless spirit, since they decided to dive at the maximum speed Hurricane, screaming, rushed to the two ships of the Kunlun!

The anti-aircraft firepower on the battleship opened fire in response!The uniform array of 76mm double-linked anti-aircraft guns forms a cross-killing and blocking network, and the wireless proximity fuze shells precisely grouped and killed are continuously detonated, blasting out clusters of densely arranged fragment killing areas in the airspace of 5000 meters to 3000 meters. Each of them is as big as a football field, no matter how many fighter planes dodge left and right, they will inevitably be dragged down along the way!

These fighter planes are also very sophisticated, they won't come down in a straight line in a stupid way, almost every flight trajectory is different, and they fly wildly like a gust of wind blowing leaves, even if they may collide with their own people after passing over Well, that will be a matter for the future, now, if you can attract the firepower, you will win!

Zhu Bin couldn't help but slapped his mouth when he saw it: "There are really two brushes! Even if it's a group of pigeons, the number is too large to be unbearable! Not bad, under the careful training of Lao Tzu, the big and small devils have made progress. Very fast!"

Chen Shaokuan wished he could go up and pinch his neck and shake him vigorously. He was so nervous, you boy still have the heart to talk nonsense!Really young and vigorous!

After Zhu Bin said it, he was not ambiguous at all!The two battleships crossed fire across each other, blocking half of the planes on the outside, and then rushed in with close-in anti-aircraft guns to kill them one by one. At the same time, they made a smooth snake-like maneuver, defeating more than a dozen Japanese planes that attempted suicide collisions. Suddenly, in the empty sky, the bomber was about to fly overhead!

"Missile waiter! Shoot them all down!"

Zhu Bin waved his hand vigorously, and together with the "Yingzhou" behind, a large group of "dart" missiles rushed out of the vertical launch box, and there were even a few expensive and rare guided sub-cluster bombs mixed in. Squirt out!

At this moment, the three-jump warship looked like a stimulated octopus, stretching out countless white tentacles towards the sky with its teeth and claws, each with a hideous and eye-catching head, aiming at the huge bomber figure and bumping into it! (To be continued..)
