Chapter 471 The Battle of the Pacific Ocean (7)

"Let the Japanese take a good look at the strength of our Chinese navy!"

The people next to him were very surprised by Chen Shaokuan's condition, especially Zheng Dateng, who had been with him for many years. However, they rarely saw this commander who was usually serious and refused to give up his traditional naval appearance from morning to night. He was so sharp!

At this time, Minister Chen was no longer accustomed to the treacherous ups and downs of officialdom, or even though he knew it was impossible, he still tried his best to fight for the construction and future of the navy. He was scolded by the Fujian faction within the navy as a scammer, and tried every means to reconcile the relationship with the central and other local naval generals, and wanted to make this scattered sand come back into a personal form. However, he kept hitting walls and failing again and again, which made Shaohua die early and exhausted loneliness.

Replacing the decadence and helplessness that are cold and cold, is a surging enthusiasm that can ignite the volcano and boil the sea. On the rosy face, the brilliance that blooms like the excitement of a boy, and the upright body as pine and cypress releases a magnificent will as strong as a mountain!

It was as if the vast thousand-mile sea killing field, hundreds of thousands of tons of steel were under his control, and with a wave of his hand, he was about to overturn the world!

"Sir Chen, finally live out his energy!"

Zheng Dateng and others couldn't help but choke. He thought that he would never see the old commander relaxing his face and fulfilling his ambitions in his life. Unexpectedly, in this crisis-ridden battlefield, it was very likely that the war that would determine the rise and fall of the Chinese navy and even the country would come unexpectedly!

More than a dozen pairs of spicy gazes looked over with respect, and Chen Shaokuan seemed to feel something. He turned around and glanced at them, and smiled and said, "What are you watching me do? Keep working!"

"Yes!" He shouted with enthusiasm and excitement, and everyone in the command room burst into efficiency and became energetic.

The two heavy patrols suddenly accelerated and overtook the front of the battleship and aircraft carrier with 36 knots, and turned sharply to the northwest. The four destroyers that were slightly behind followed closely, and their sharp knife-shaped bows split the waves. They were as fast as galloping horses, slender and huge four ships drifted greatly in the loud alarm sound, and the huge ships weighing tens of thousands of tons pushed away the waves. The layers of surging waves were discharged and the huge formation was like a group of migrating giant whales, which changed lanes and galloped!

The entire fleet accelerated by 35 knots! If the battleship had not dragged the hind legs, it might have been even higher! It was staggered with the hedge Japanese fleet at an acute angle and rushed towards its left front!

In the "Taishan", Wang Wenda slapped the table excitedly and shouted: "Okay! Finally, it's time to see the truth! The small plane flickered and was not powerful. At the critical moment, our cannon tube speech must be effective! Hahaha! The Japanese, please wait for grandpa to open the ladle for you!"

The captain and commander who had no stamina at all showed such a lack of stamina, which made a group of subordinates cover their faces. It was so inappropriate! If Chief Chen saw this, he might have to criticize him! As a navy, he always pays attention to his behavior. That is an unchangeable dogma! What's going on!

However, they could only see the truth. The so-called upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked. Since the big boss Zhu Bin, few young and strong sects can sit still, and they all run to the forefront of the battle regardless of their identities. It is unreasonable!

Now, I finally let this guy succeed! Sitting under his butt is probably the most advanced battleship in the world. It would be strange if he doesn’t bother to death!

The performance of the task force is extremely high in all aspects, especially the overall speed, which is compared with the group of old warships that were seriously dragged by the Japanese army. That is not a little higher. As its main battleship, the four battleships and the aircraft carrier "Fengxiang" have even been modified, the maximum speed is only 25 knots, which is a 10 knots apart! And there are huge differences in acceleration performance, turning radius, and airworthiness. The "Namen" with the world's first-high bridge is inherently afraid to play this high-angle high-speed steering, not to mention that its reconnaissance and decision-making speed is all-round behind!

The two fleets were about 100 nautical miles apart, and the reconnaissance aircraft from both sides at high altitudes could capture the movement in time. In less than half an hour, a Japanese reconnaissance aircraft that broke through the block suddenly discovered that the target fleet had a deviation in its orientation and hurriedly sent out an alarm with a telegram.

But sadly, the guys on this reconnaissance plane were obviously not qualified. The content of the first telegram was just: "The enemy fleet suddenly changed its direction!"

Yamamoto Iroku frowned and ordered a call back: "Please explain clearly the specific orientation and speed of the enemy ship, as well as the exact number."

The reconnaissance plane called back a few minutes later: "The enemy ship seized the T-head, and the main battleships were 2."

Yamamoto Iroku was a little angry. His order was clear enough. What was going on with these guys?! But thinking about it, I needed to send it from him and send it to the heavy cruiser where the reconnaissance plane was located, and then forward it to the unreliable guy. It was normal to have a bit of long-windedness, so I urged to confirm again.

But at this little time, the reconnaissance plane was discovered by the hunting formation cruising around. Two "flying sharks" suddenly pounced on it and exploded it!

When another reconnaissance aircraft desperately found the exact location of the aircraft carrier formation and reported it, it took nearly twenty minutes. At this time, an angle of nearly thirty degrees had been formed between the fleets of both sides!

Yamamoto Irojiu immediately got furious! He had to rush down directly, and the other party could reach the left side of his house in an hour. At that time, he cut it down obliquely and could just chase it. Their fleet could be beaten by hundreds of tons of ammunition alone!

The combat staff had already quickly marked the position of the enemy ship on the chart. Yamamoto Iroku thought for less than a minute, and decisively ordered the fleet to turn left rudder, and firmly demanded that Beihang University be directly from the greatest angle, and that the opponent would never allow the opponent to take the lead.

The opponent was able to accelerate like this for nearly an hour, which showed that he had no intention of fleeing south or avoiding north. He obviously wanted to fight with him on the new warships. Yamamoto couldn't help but nod: "Well, the courage is commendable! It is said that as the commander and commander, the Chinese Navy Minister, I hope it won't be too disappointing."

After the initial surprise, a group of staff officers showed disdain. They all knew that Chen Shaokuan was just a sailor from the late Qing Dynasty and later attended the Nanyang Navy Academy. In terms of academic level, he was far inferior to those of them, the imperial naval professional talents! Although he had never commanded such a large and advanced fleet to fight in front of a nameless minister, he only knew that he had a false reputation by looking at this reckless formation change.

The staff officer of the Sanben was young and energetic, and smiled relaxedly: "Does the Chinese want to regain the dignity of their ancestors in the attack of giant ships? It's really naive. Don't you know how powerful the imperial power you have to face?"

Whether it is a battleship or a heavy cruiser, the number and firepower are twice theirs. There is no possibility of winning directly in battle. Do they not understand such an obvious gap? In this case, escaping with high speed is the wisest choice. Even for the honor of soldiers, you cannot joke about the naval power of a country!

Yamamoto Iroji waved his hand to stop their gloating: "Don't underestimate our opponents! They will not be unclear about our strength. They still choose to change the formation like this. They must rely on something. Don't be careless. Order the reconnaissance plane to continue to pay close attention and don't relax their vigilance!"

He narrowed his eyes and thought quickly in his mind: "What exactly is that Minister Chen doing? It is said that he is also a smart man who values ​​aircraft carriers and aircraft operations. Even if he does not have the spirit of sacrifice of the Imperial Navy, he should not be lucky."

Although the fleet's speed could not keep up, Yamamoto was not too worried. The other party sailed far away from the country and ran more than 2,000 nautical miles. The short-legged destroyers should have been replenished once. The combat sustainability is not much, which is far less convenient than Japan, which is only more than 1,000 nautical miles away from the local area. Avoiding northwards, perhaps seeking greater maneuver space, or finding traces of the second team encircled? But even so, how much distance can it be? If the fighter plane is there, it cannot be escaped.

"Hmm?! Do they have subsequent warships to support me?!" Yamamoto Iroku's forehead jumped and he hurriedly asked for the latest information summary and found that as of this morning, another part of the enemy's ships were still gathering in Hainan, and both aircraft carriers were there.

It seems that he was thinking too much. Yamamoto smiled self-deprecatingly. The aircraft carrier and the battleship are not dumplings. It is the limit to how much they want to put in. The other party can secretly build the two ships in front of him. In just a few years of construction, I want to exceed the Imperial shipbuilding capabilities? Don’t joke.

Shaking his head, Yamamoto Iroku abandoned this unreliable idea and focused on continuing to work on the chart.

Through the vast sea, the two fleets were heading north with all their might. The task force seemed to be afraid of being chased. They rushed for another three hours in one breath and ran for 130 nautical miles before turning east. Yamamoto's fleet delayed half an hour of turning light. When they turned around and chased, they found that the distance from the other party had actually increased to a straight line of 100 nautical miles. If this continues, when the two sides met, they would be cut to the head by the battleship pulled away by the other party!

This will definitely not work! While secretly shocked at the opponent's high speed, he ordered the fleet to turn again, forming a huge U-shaped reversal, cutting across the opponent's channel by 45 degrees. If he keeps this way, he can still occupy a favorable position after about 4 hours, provided that the opponent does not change the array.

But this is obviously impossible. Both sides are too close to each other, and there are reconnaissance planes in the air, and no one can hide their tracks unless it is controlled at night. However, in such a clear weather, even if they are ten or twenty nautical miles away, they can find traces. As long as the other party does not run away, there will always be a chance!

But there is one thing that is bad. The encirclement plan of the Second Team obviously does not work, and the take-off fighter plane is too far away, which is inappropriate.

After determining the position of the second team, Yamamoto Izuru ordered: "Secretary of the second team immediately turned, head north from our left wing, and beware of the Chinese fleet's attack using its speed advantage."

Looking up at the sun that had already set in the west, he couldn't help but sigh. It seems that it is not that easy to fight quickly! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
