Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

The first thousand and 590 chapters see the light and die

However, the main force of the national army to destroy the enemy is not heavy aerial bombs and bombs, but harpoon anti-ship guided missiles.

Although the island army has come up with some countermeasures to the harpoon after the Battle of Midway, such as intercepting low-altitude dense firepower nets and launching jamming bombs.

But in the end, it is a temporary solution, not a permanent cure. Once the harpoon is lowered, it will not stop until it reaches its goal. As long as there are a few caught fish, it will be enough for the Yamato to be unable to eat.

In the first round of bombing, the roof of Yamato No. [-] main gun turret was directly hit by a harpoon, and one was hit on the bow and both sides of the ship. However, due to the heavy armor of Yamato, it did not penetrate.

Only the bow of the ship was slightly damaged below the waterline, and water began to enter.

Immediately afterwards, the national army aviation began a second wave of bombing, and six b24s rushed up again.

A harpoon hit directly on the starboard rear at rib 130.As a result, the thunder in the Yamato instantly tilted to the right by 5.5 degrees, the defense next door deformed, water entered the No. 7 and No. 11 boiler rooms, and the speed began to drop significantly.

The Yamato is indeed a behemoth with a displacement of nearly 7 tons. Even if it was hit by four harpoons in a row, it would not be a serious problem, but the huge vibration caused by the explosion made the aiming device of the auxiliary battery plate completely stuck and unable to rotate. The Yamato lost its salvo capability, and its anti-aircraft firepower dropped sharply.

The Air Corps of the National Army immediately discovered this situation, and immediately mobilized a dozen or so bombers and military aircraft to fly over the Yamato, and began to line up and dive-bomb.

For a moment, the entire Yamato was instantly surrounded by flames and thick smoke, and the sound of explosions was endless.

In just ten minutes, no one knew how many bombs were hit on the Yamato and how many planes dropped bombs on it?Relying on the large number of aircraft and sufficient ammunition, the Chinese Air Force kept adding nearby aircraft to the bombing team until the hull of the Yamato continued to tilt, and finally the mountain-like slate-gray steel hull turned over abruptly, and the aircraft were still rushing. Dive bombing with the upturned hull.

The violent sound of the explosion shook the mountains, and the explosion caused several planes that were too late to be lifted up to be buried in the sea of ​​flames. The smoke lingered for a long time.

"Yamato" is what the islanders call their own nation. The "Yamato Ship" named after the synonym of their own nation shows how much the islanders expect from the ship.

But in this battle, the No. [-] ship of the Yamato-class battleship built by the Imperial Navy is also the largest battleship in human history. The battleship "Yamato" once known as "the world's number one battleship" and "the savior of the island empire" was buried here. The seabed, together with the buried spiritual totem of the islanders, also announced the end of the era of big ships and cannons.

The nightmare of the island army did not end here. The Yamato was sunk, and the air force of the national army rushed to tell the good news through the radio waves. Their morale was high for a while. The Japanese enemy fleet was even more merciless and started bombing indiscriminately.

Since the Battle of Midway, the island army has lost a large number of excellent naval and aviation forces, and now both the quality of the navy and the quality of the aviation force have declined sharply.

However, the Chinese army has won battles all the way, the casualties are getting smaller and smaller, and the overall quality of the soldiers is getting higher and higher. The overall quality of the soldiers is not to say that it surpasses the island army, at least it will not lag behind. Basically, it is no problem to be equal.

Under the condition of the same literacy, the national army still has advantages in the number and quality of aircraft, and its weapons are more sophisticated than the island army.

The Yamato sank, and the soldiers of the national army quickly set their sights on the four battleships Nagato, Kongo, and Haruna, as well as other heavy cruisers and destroyers.

The enemy also lost confidence because of the sinking of the flagship, coupled with the disparity in strength, they began to flee around like headless flies. The warship left the air protection, and basically could only be passively beaten. For a while, the remaining three battleships were all destroyed. Destroyed, only a few less than ten heavy cruisers and destroyers that fell behind escaped successfully under the desperate cover of carrier-based aircraft and land aircraft.

This battle caused the destruction of the main warships of the Japanese navy, and it was almost impossible to organize an effective offensive lineup again.

Although the aircraft carrier is unharmed, it can only serve as a sea platform for carrier-based aircraft from a distance, and there is a danger of destruction if it gets close.

Or simply berth in a port with strong air defense forces. In short, it can already pose a fatal threat to the Chinese navy.

……

The naval battle in the South China Sea has just ended, and the Miao coalition forces have begun to attack Saipan in the Mariana Islands.

Saipan is the second largest island in the Mariana Islands. It is about 21 kilometers long, 4 kilometers to 8 kilometers wide, and covers an area of ​​about 184 square kilometers. , the commanding height is Tapocho Peak at an altitude of 450 meters in the center of the island. There is a coral reef covering the entire beach on the west coast of the island. Garapan Cape divides it into two, and the north forms a natural harbor-Tanapan Port.

The port is also the economic and cultural center of Saipan and the Mariana Islands. To the south is the flat Macchiches Beach, which is an ideal beachhead for landing.

The island army has three airports on Saipan. The Aslilo Airport in the south was built in the 30s. New fighter jets, is the main airfield on the island.

The nearby Chalan Kanoa Airport is an airstrip that can only take off and land small aircraft.Mapi Airport in the north has a short runway and is used as an alternate airport for fighter jets to make emergency landings.

The airport facilities are good, but it is a pity that the strength of the island army's air force is really worrying. There are less than [-] aircraft of various types on Saipan, which is not even a fraction of the Allied forces.

The rice army dispatched ten main aircraft carriers and twelve escort aircraft carriers this time, and the number of carrier-based aircraft has reached more than a thousand, and it is supported by powerful land aircraft on the Marshall Islands in the rear.

Of course, the island army also has four aircraft carriers urgently transferred from the Philippines to support them, and the number of carrier-based aircraft can be close to [-], but it is still a drop in the bucket.

What's more, the four aircraft carriers faced the [-] aircraft carriers of the Mi Army.

The deployment of troops on both sides is also not at the same level.

The 31st Army of the Island Army has a total of six divisions with a strength of more than 14. They are mainly deployed in: three divisions in Saipan, one division in Tinian, and two divisions in Guam.

The strength of the Mi-Australian coalition forces is seven divisions of the Mi Army and 25 divisions of the Australian Army, with a total strength of more than [-]. Half of them are going to go to Tinian and Guam, and the remaining half are going to Saipan, because The gain or loss of Saipan is the key to the whole campaign.
