Chapter 475 The Battle of the Pacific Ocean (11)
Knowing that his speed was not strong and he could not catch up with the opponent at all, the first Japanese army team was very frustrated and left behind to salvage the sunken soldiers. After the seaman, he turned his mind and snatched the ball, changing the current very unfavorable position.
Two destroyers with a speed of up to 37 knots were sent to dodge and follow them from behind, relying on their small and flexible figures, chasing them like dog skin plaster.
The reconnaissance planes were almost gone, and Yamamoto Iroku felt so distressed that his teeth were cold, but he could not be blind on the battlefield, so he had to let the destroyers go up and push the bar. Only their speed could catch up with those fast and annoying opponents.
The task force restored light control and silence, but on the left, two heavy cruisers and two aircraft carriers quietly left the formation, and together with six destroyers and a supply ship, they turned to the southeast, and circled around.
Turning to the northwest at high speed, the route crosses the tail of the Japanese fleet that had just turned around, and see that it had entered the range of the main gun. The two heavy patrols quietly raised the triple turret, and suddenly fired without even calling.
All the high-explosive bombs rushed to the ships behind the Japanese army like rushing in swarms!
The turret with delay coil assisted evenly sent the shells thirty kilometers away. The Japanese destroyer behind the palace immediately noticed the muzzle flash, and hurriedly sounded the alarm, yelling at the entire fleet: "Enemy ship shelling!"
Already been attacked by Cold Run, the entire Japanese first troop was cheering up and did not dare to be careless. The alarm came, and the people on and off the ship were already in the combat post, and they were completely unable to use their air defense weapons that could not be helped.
The soldiers who operated small-caliber auxiliary weapons simply hid, praying that the other party's large-caliber shells would not hit their heads--if it was more than one ton of large shells from the terrifying 406mm main gun. No one can bear it except the battleship.
live!
Regardless of whether it was locked or not, the Japanese ships that were dragged back made changes one after another. They roughly determined that the other party's shells would have to fly for nearly a minute to arrive. Even if they set a little longer, it would be better to leave the place.
of.
Amid the harsh alarm, several warships pulled out S-shaped trails at their tails, and turned desperately from the original direct flight. At least don’t be beaten up with the butt!
Eighteen 203mm shells broke through the air! The 60-fold tube (including the medicine room) of German blood gives them a terrifying range of 33,540 meters. Compared with the main guns of the two battleships, the accuracy is more than a few times higher.
!In the 122 kilogram warhead, 29.7 kilograms of high-explosion main gunpowder suddenly became excited when the shell fell into the sea. The banging explosion sounded and tear open the silent night sky again!
Such a range and such explosive power are no different from the armor-piercing bombs of the battleship! It was so dark that it was hard to see the situation clearly. Many Japanese soldiers instinctively thought they had set their sights on the big guy. They were so scared that they were lying in their heads with their heads in their arms.
The strongest part under the deck was shivering!
The two heavy cruisers could have used a high firing rate of 8 rounds per minute, but at this time, they were slow and always maintained at a density of 2 rounds per minute, so that the turret was fully stable. Aim to prepare and then send out the next one.
The attack of the wheel, the shells that were sprayed alternately by the two ships, and the cracks of the air was whistling, suddenly sounded like a large-scale attack atmosphere!
Several Japanese destroyers swept into the attack range immediately looked like small sampans in huge waves. The overweight upper deck building with problems in design was violently back and forth under the impact of rapid change of direction and near-burn loss.
It was shaken and there was a possibility of overturning at any time. The soldiers who were still working on the deck or watchtower did not tie themselves up. Suddenly, a loud noise was heard, and the water column that soared into the sky rushed towards him under the wind.
He was beaten to fly, screaming and fell into the sea water dozens of meters below. A wave swept by and disappeared.
Yamamoto Izuru's ship had already rushed to the front of the right wing, and was able to stay away from the opponent's main gun range to the maximum extent. The sudden explosion and attack alarm from behind almost broke the blood in his eyes, and the blue tendons on his forehead
The sudden burst, "Cangbang" jumped randomly, rushed to the porthole with a cold face and looked at it intently. When I saw a dozen kilometers away, a ball of light shining constantly, rising and falling. From time to time, my own ship was illuminated, and the precarious ones were in danger.
The swaying posture made him tremble all over!
"Cunning guy! He actually got around behind him!" Yamamoto Iroji gritted his teeth and muttered hatefully. It was so difficult to deal with! Did these guys have expected to be surrounded?
The possibility is not great! If it were me, I would never be so entangled when I learned that I was targeted by the entire Japanese Navy. I would only choose to escape wisely. No one dared to joke with my entire net worth and the future of the entire country!
It seems that they want to harass themselves all the time and use the nibble-taking tactic to eat themselves bite by bite!
Commander Yamamoto sighed in his heart that the warships he led were still too old and had already lagged behind too many new warships in the world's navy. Whether it is the most basic keel, the strength of the hull steel plate, the manufacturing technology, or the ratio of equipment weapons.
And the power system are greatly deficient. Even after the maximum modernization modification, innate deficiencies are destined to be impossible to surpass.
As for the other party's maneuverability, it is now judged that the overall mobility is at least 30 knots or even higher, which is much faster than the one on his side! This means that the two battleships that they are most likely to drag their backs have such speeds, which is better than the whole one!
The same kind that has been built in the world is terrifyingly fast!
As they dare to fight in a roundabout way two or three thousand nautical miles away from their homeland, the maximum range should not be less than eight thousand nautical miles, or even more than tens of thousands of nautical miles. Such excellent data is concentrated on the hull of only about 35,000 tons, which is simply a voyage of 10,000 tons.
Incredible!
Could it be that they sacrificed armor thickness like their main battleships for high attack performance? Probably, the Chinese who obtained the excellent German metallurgical technology also had a powerful "titanium alloy". Maybe they
What kind of miracles can be created? Just look at its attack, the range and power of the main gun are quite large, and they are enemies that cannot be underestimated.
But the problem is that being chased by such an enemy with the "kite tactic" is really unpleasant!
Yamamoto Iroku realized that they should not be able to live tonight, nor should they expect to easily let the other party fall into the trap of the encirclement. At night, enemy ships with speed advantage will definitely try their best to make money!
"It's not that easy!" Yamamoto finally couldn't help but punched the table hard, and said to Staff Sanben, "The fleet advanced at full speed, escaped from the range of the enemy's main gun, and circled the right rudder after determining its course.
He telegrammed the Second Team, gave up the eastward support, went directly to the north, and exchanged positions with our department!"
The fire stinged at the chart and slapped the model representing the main force of the task force more than 20 nautical miles north. Yamamoto Iroku unconsciously gritted his teeth.
He was also angry. Since the other party was stinging and not relaxing, then just act as the Dinghai Shen Needle! As long as you keep the center position, no matter where the other direction is, you will always get close. In a few hours, the second team will
If you can encircle them in place and change the array at will, you can wrap them in the encirclement! At that time, let’s see how he deviates!
After six consecutive rounds, two heavy patrols and two aircraft carriers continued to advance westward, Dala laid his body out, allowing the Japanese death reconnaissance aircraft to see the huge figure of the aircraft carrier from a distance, and then
Knock them off.
Yamamoto could not have thought that the opponent was already in a weak state and dared to divide his troops. The entire first team gave up and tangled, ran out at the maximum range of the opponent's main gun, rushed out 20 nautical miles, then turned right and penetrated straight into the southwest.
At this time, the second team, which had sailed eastward for almost fifty nautical miles and had almost tied with Yamamoto Iroku, received the order, Commander Yoshida Shingo finally couldn't help but get angry and squirted, "Yamamoto,"
What is the commander doing?! How many times have you changed directions in a day? Can’t you catch the Chinese fleet once?"
As the commander of the First Fleet, he was most disgusted by the fact that he could not do things according to the plan. The unorganized guy. For the sake of Minae Haixiang, he let Yamamoto take over this attack plan and put down his figure and lead the way.
The second team serves as a supporter, allowing it to stand out and get the greatest chance of honor and save the decency that has been lost in recent years. Of course, he himself gritted his teeth with Zhu Bin's army. He made enemies on both sides six years ago.
The accounts have not been settled properly yet!
Add new and old hatreds to one piece, Yoshida Shingo has a good reason to go to the battle. After several months of strict planning, the whole country and the others believed that it was foolproof. He was even ecstatic when he learned that the other party rushed into the encirclement without knowing his life and death.
He repeatedly checked the preparations of each ship of the team, and waited for a thunder strike to kill the opponent.
Unexpectedly, Yamamoto Izuru's situation is frequent, and he has been repeatedly struggling several times a day. Even the first team was attacked twice. As the future leader of the Imperial Navy, his level seems to be too poor!
Chief of Staff Colonel Furuman comforted him: "It is probably because the Chinese fleet is too cunning and knows it is not enough to fight against the powerful forces of the Imperial Navy, and they are struggling to death."
Yoshida Shingo twisted his nose and hummed. This statement is unreliable! I'm afraid that the guy Yamamoto has been insisting on his so-called "air force victory" and forgot that the glory of the Imperial Navy was built on the huge main gun and commanded
Is there any disorder in ability?
He exhaled a heavy anger and Commander Yoshida said in a depressed voice: "Do as you do!"
The 2nd Team's huge ship group turned left and rushed towards the north. According to the latest information, it will wipe the tail of the first team in one hour and intercept the rear of the enemy ship. It is expected to be launched.
Fight, after 3.5 hours!
But he never expected that less than half an hour after his turn, the two battleships led by Chen Shaokuan and half of the other ships intersected next to their peripheral destroyers. The closest distance between the two sides was less than 20 nautical miles.
.
Now, Chen Shaokuan, who was in his hands, ordered the fleet to rush westward, and once again formed a sixty-degree angle with Yamamoto's fleet, about thirty nautical miles behind, and the highway was very close!
Chapter completed!
