Although the theory of air force victory has been around for a long time, not many people in this era really believe it. Especially in Japan, the theory of victory of battleships with huge guns is the backbone. Look at those pitiful little things made of wood, their carrying capacity

It only weighs a few hundred kilograms, and its shaky flying speed will only make it a target for anti-aircraft guns. Can it sink a battleship? Just dream!

Based on this mentality, until now, the anti-aircraft firepower on the warships of several major naval powers in the world has been relatively weak. The US-made MKL2 127mm high-level dual-purpose cannon was only developed this year, and the German Krupp has not yet completed the

Most of the other 88mm anti-aircraft guns are old-fashioned 762mm anti-aircraft guns, but the rate of fire, accuracy and scientific setting are all seriously deficient. It can be said that most of the warships so far have serious insufficient air defense capabilities!

"The only thing that can sink a battleship is a battleship." This theory is very popular, and the Japanese believe it even more. Even if they are shocked by Kyorō's sudden impact, this group of elm heads will hit Nan.

It’s so hard for a guy who never looks back to change his mind!

"What are those guys doing?! Why haven't they shot down that damn China fighter jet yet?!"

On board the "Nagato", looking at the twisted face of the commander, Chief of Staff Zengo Yoshida scolded him harshly and questioned Colonel Uno Yoshizo of the "Kaga".

Captain Uno could not explain that there was no radio communication system on his fighter planes, and he could only issue instructions with inefficient semaphores and lights. At this time, the fleet was not far from the air combat area. Through high-power telescopes, he could see that his own fighters were

It was intercepted by the high-speed all-metal monoplane fighter on the opposite side and could not pass at all!

You cannot fire directly. Although the warriors of the Imperial Air Force are not afraid of death, the unnecessary sacrifice is not worth it! There is no need to fight in vain when you know that your country's fighter planes are weak and far less powerful than the opponent!

"Intelligence work needs to be strengthened." Unexpectedly, Commander Kobayashi quickly calmed down and made a review first. "Previous reports said that China's old aircraft carrier lacked enough carrier-based aircraft, but now it seems that it is not true.

Zengo Yoshida nodded cautiously: "Your Excellency, Commander, what you said makes sense! It was the underestimation of the China warships that led to the current problem. I think that the General Staff Headquarters should make a review. We cannot be too cautious about the equipment of the China Army.

If you take it too lightly, there may be big problems.”

Fighters that are not as fast as humans will definitely not be able to gain advantage in a fight. Even if there are more fighters on the two aircraft carriers, which are several times the opponent's, is there really going to be a war? This is not the purpose of this trip.

"Order the fleet to conduct exercises in accordance with the predetermined combat objectives." Kobayashi Nobuyoshi issued a surprising order.

Yoshida Zengo was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and lowered his head and agreed: "Your Excellency, Commander, is wise!"

If it is to sink the opponent's warships, there is no need to go to such trouble. Just surround them and bomb them indiscriminately. Everything is solved. This time it is to make the Chinese look embarrassed. The perfect effect is to make it difficult for the two warships to pass. Look.

Do they have the courage to go halfway around the world, and are they still stuck on the Taiwan Strait?

We can't just fight for a fighter plane now. Since we can't win it, we can find other ways to get it back! You know, the anti-aircraft firepower of the battleships on your side is too weak. The opponent's fighter planes are not only sharp, but the two battleships are equipped with at least one class.

We have dozens of 127mmn high-level and flat dual-purpose guns and 76 anti-aircraft guns. The number and power are much greater than our own, which is a great threat to our own slow fighters, especially with the help of American veterans.

Then, according to the scheduled plan, conduct a live-fire exercise to see how the opponent will respond under the powerful 4 cannons!

A shrill siren sounded, and the entire Japanese fleet immediately mobilized. The two battleships accelerated forward to form a line, the aircraft carrier retreated, and the destroyers and submarines spread out, leaving enough space for them to turn. A "Fubuki" was seen.

The destroyer rushed to a place twenty nautical miles ahead at high speed, exactly in the middle of the angle between the two fleets, quickly dropped a series of huge targets, and left.

Subsequently, the 16 main guns of the two battleships adjusted their directions one after another. As the data continued to be reported, they aimed with the top efficiency of this era and were ready to go at any time!

On the Chinese battleship that has already approached the opponent's main gun range, Chen Jiliang and others are sweating after learning about the performance indicators of the Japanese battleships! They all know that the opponent's 45 times caliber 41ok main gun has a range that is almost that of their own 45 times caliber equipment.

m twice the size of the main gun

, the maximum range code, the maximum rate of fire is 25 rounds per minute! It is much better than the poor 20,000 meters range on our side, and the armor-piercing ability of the main gun is not to mention, even the turret armor on our side is no more than

254mur standard, as long as you are hit, you won’t run away at all!

The terrible thing is that at this moment, he has entered the opponent's shooting range, but he can only watch and be beaten, helpless!

"Zhu Bin, you damn bastard! What a bad idea! It's going to end now!"

Many people kept cursing in their hearts, and complained that their superiors were too soft-spoken and too concerned about face. Why should they fight to the death with the Japanese? Isn't it just a detour? If the Philippines can't get around, it's a big deal to turn back! Anyway, once

If there is a place to stop along the way, it’s like traveling around the world!

Wang Shouting was also sweating on his forehead, but he was determined to be single. He gritted his teeth and ordered all the fighter planes on the "Changbai Mountain" to take off and be on alert. If the Japanese army dared to take the risk of offending the United States and fire artillery, it would be a big deal.

It's a fight to the death! If they can't defend against the slow seaplanes, they can't defend against the high-speed 02b. Even if the aerial bombs they carry can't sink their battleships, they can still destroy destroyers and aircraft carriers. It's no problem to pull a bunch of people on their backs!

With a little buffer time, the American soldiers were skilled enough to help all 24 fighter planes load bombs and take off successfully. They ordered the fleet to move forward. They were about to get within 20 kilometers. Suddenly, they saw all the Japanese fighter planes dispersed and turned back.

Immediately afterwards, news came from Zhu Bin: "Little Japanese battleships have begun to advance. Oh, they have placed several targets ten kilometers away on the left side and are ready to fire!"

"Ah?!" There was a dead silence in the command room. "Fire the gun?! Are you sure you read that correctly?!" None of the carrier-based aircraft here have radio instant communication capabilities. Everyone can only wait for the news from Zhu Bin, but he actually said

The Japanese army is about to open fire. Is there anything wrong?

There was no need for Zhu Bin to answer. A burst of earth-shattering cannon sounds erupted in the distance. A few seconds later, even bigger explosions came one after another. Through the telescope, the water in front of the left was clearly visible, and a huge water column rose into the sky.

, with a height of dozens of meters, the bright white sea water looks particularly enchanting against the rising flames, but in the eyes of the officers here, it is like a reminder!

It was so clear from such a distance how powerful the 41okrm's main gun was! I had never seen it before, but the scene when the par cannon shells of my own ship exploded was vivid in my mind. It was already thrilling enough, and it was several times bigger.

With the weight and charge, if this were to hit us... I'm afraid it would flatten the bridge with just one shot, right?!

If you have no concept and have never seen the real thing, once you are afraid, there will be no end to the consequences you can imagine!

Wang Shouting grabbed the radio and shouted sternly: "Major Zhu Bin, are you sure immediately what the Japanese army wants to do and whether they want to attack us?!"

Zhu Bin replied lazily: "Don't worry, my Commander Wang, they are not that bold yet, they just want to scare us into retreat. Otherwise, they may accidentally aim wrongly and fire a shot."

If the bombardment reaches our side, after all, they have already fired a warning!"

"You! You are going to miss something important!" Wang Shouting broke into a cold sweat because he suddenly realized how bad the situation was!

The Japanese are really practicing. They have warned you, but if you don't listen, if you don't listen when they put down the target and fire the artillery, if you continue to move forward, then once the artillery shell misses and hits you, there will be no place to cry!

Driven by the waves on the sea, the battleship is always shaking. Even if the aim seems to be accurate for a moment, when a wave comes over, it is normal for the naval gun to fluctuate three to five degrees, but the fired shells will have an unknown deviation.

Yes, especially now that they are firing sideways, if they miss the target, the consequences will be disastrous!

As if to confirm his bad premonition, just a minute later, there was another loud "rumbling" sound, and he watched a group of artillery shells flying toward the left side of the fleet, grazing the outermost freighter.

It rumbled by just two or three kilometers away. The movement was like a train passing through a culvert at high speed. The dull roar made everyone feel dizzy and their hearts almost uncontrollable!

"Oh my God! This cannonball makes such a big noise when it flies. If it hits our ship, it will fall apart on the spot!" Many soldiers saw this scene clearly, and many of them felt warm in their crotches and knees.

Feeling weak, tongue tied, hands and feet trembling!

"Boom!" The artillery shell exploded violently five or six kilometers behind the fleet! The huge explosion force and shock wave quickly pushed the instantly vaporized water mist and gunpowder smoke into the vicinity, and the high water column and bright fireworks were

Countless soldiers in the photo looked pale!

"It's so... so awesome!" Exclaims arose one after another in the fleet, including the veterans, the stupid and bold group of people on the freighter, and even the Americans who didn't care much at first shivered.

His forehead was sweating and he was nervous. Who would want to kill someone with a cannon for no apparent reason? Especially if he died under such an inexplicable conflict with such power!

"What should I do?" Wang Shouting felt that his hands and feet were a little weak, and beads of sweat were rolling down. But looking at the other people, most of them were confused. Some were even so scared that they approached the wall, as if they thought they would be safe if they stayed away from the window.

of.

"Zhu Hanchen! I've done you a terrible job!" Wang Shouting had just gritted his teeth and secretly cursed the boy. Over there, Zhu Bin seemed to be able to hear what he was saying, and suddenly said, "Commander Wang, the Japanese have already sent an invitation.

, we have to show something. Don’t we also have main guns? They demonstrate from the left and we learn from the right! I will release the target immediately.

"Ah! Ah?! You, you, you, what did you say? We also fired?!"

Wang Shouting's jaw almost hit the ground, and it's not over yet! Why do you think the Japanese are not fierce enough? The shells flew past their scalps, but they still dare to provoke!

Zhu Bin said: "Otherwise, what should we do? Turn around and go back? You are the commander. We cannot bear the responsibility of losing face and losing the national integrity. The Japanese do not dare to attack us sincerely. It is appropriate to test our determination first. Maybe it is

Maybe good things will happen."

Determination, you fool! Wang Shouting just spit on his face, what a fucking bad idea, but he has to admit that he is the commander of the current fleet, and Minister Chen has delegated power.

The Japanese were so frightened that they turned around after firing two volleys. When they got back, they could wait for the overwhelming accusations and curses.

Today’s citizens cannot be offended! They have freedom of speech and no patience at all!

"What the hell, the damn bird will face upward and he will not die for eternity! Anyway, there are so many people accompanying him, let's do it!"

Wang Shouting clenched his molar teeth, straightened his body, grabbed the phone himself and ordered: "Everyone, pay attention, prepare to fire!"
