Chapter 491 Battleship Showdown (4)
"The Japanese army launched a suicide impact, and all four aircraft carriers were damaged, and they temporarily lost their air support capabilities!"
Seeing the report, Chen Shaokuan couldn't help frowning, looking at the Japanese ship "Higa" that was looming on the horizontal plane in the distance, took a deep breath, and pondered: "I didn't expect the Japanese to take this move. It's really cruel and ruthless! Fighting against such an enemy with no limits, it's hard to defend!"
His offensive plan was completely disrupted by a sudden change!
In the plan, even if there was no support from the Shen Honglie fleet, he was confident that he would kill the Japanese with the maneuvering operations of the two aircraft carriers. And when they came, they doubled their confidence. Seeing that a huge encirclement had been formed, they would happily harvest the fruits of victory. I never expected that this would happen. As expected, the situation on the battlefield was unpredictable!
Chen Shaokuan is not a long-time general on the battlefield. He was embarrassed to mention the battles in the first half of his life. He fought in the country like playing house, which was boring. The first time he fought against foreign countries was three years ago, and he was not commanded by him. He actually formulated a combat plan and commanded the whole process. This was the first time, and it may be the only time in this life.
No mistakes can be made, and the final result cannot be changed!
Chief of Staff Cheng Yaoliang's face was not very good-looking. He participated from beginning to end, and it was a secret, which led to serious consequences. He did not plan all kinds of forces on both sides of the enemy and us. That was a shame and work mistake as a staff officer. After returning, he had to teach those self-righteous boys!
Seeing that Chen Shaokuan seemed to be not as excited as expected, he suggested: "Sir Chen, it's time to do so, and it's unlikely that the predetermined goal will be difficult to complete. In the next few hours, we will face twice as many Japanese main ships as ours. If we face a head-on battle, it may be detrimental to us! Otherwise, we will temporarily open the distance and make adjustments?"
"No! Fight how you should fight, how you can fight! Don't give the Japanese army a chance to breathe!"
Chen Shaokuan flatly rejected his seemingly safe proposal: "Without the participation of the fighter, we are not without a chance to win. If we make a little compromise, we are afraid that the Japanese army will immediately recover our morale. At that time, whether we retreat or attack in a cluster, the situation we have worked hard to create will be lost and we will lose all our efforts! Fight according to the scheduled plan!"
"Okay!" Cheng Yaoliang didn't say anything, and raised his eyebrows and said, "In addition, we still have about thirty bombers hovering around the periphery and not participating in the attack. Should we use them?"
Chen Shaokuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "No hurry, they are going to become the killer weapon. They can play a big role at critical moments! Continue to cruising first. Wait for the opportunity!"
The group of aircraft that attacked was too large. In addition to bombing the aircraft carrier and landing to replenish ammunition, the ones that were held on top of the aircraft are now unable to get up. There are more than 30 fighter jets loaded with ammunition. In addition, the warplanes on guard are not very small. At this time, they are not in a hurry to use them. The Japanese warships are carried into a group to keep warm, and they are strictly guarded and defended. Without the numerical advantage, they will inevitably suffer huge losses when they launch an attack. The results are not necessarily very good.
Cheng Yaoliang thought about it and understood, and turned around and arranged it quickly. Then, the two ships of "Taishan" and "Hengshan" followed "Himaga" without hesitation!
Chen Shaokuan's tactics are very clear, which is "Tian Ji's horse racing", and the upper fours are the lower fours!
Strictly speaking, in front of the "Tarshan-class" battleship, all Japanese ships are constantly at the same level of opponents, the most powerful "Nakamen", "Muo" is considered at most Zhongsi. The rest of the Japanese ships can only be considered "
", but if you do it seriously, the first two ships are more troublesome. They will take too long to fight and have a greater chance of losing both sides. The latter is much easier!
After sinking the "Ise", I have a certain understanding of the various performances and armor levels of this type of Japanese ship. It is obviously not an opponent. At present, taking advantage of the good opportunity that the four battleships behind the Japanese army have not yet arrived.
Kill it, and when will it last!
The two giant ships did not stop at all, fired fire, and the torpedo clearance of the two heavy patrols and destroyers continuously fired, chasing the "Hyura" in the north, 25 kilometers away, and each of them was two in front.
The turret began to rush to concentrate fire without hesitation!
On the left wing battlefield, the "Namen" battleship headed straight forward in a stable direction. In the front of the left, the two enemy ships formed a 45-degree angle and quickly approached. The first round of artillery bombardment formed on all the water surfaces one kilometer on the right.
After a few shocking water pillars, Yamamoto Izuru took a calm look, and a strange brilliance appeared on his face!
"You guys! Our warriors achieved brilliant results with one death blow. All four Chinese Navy aircraft carriers were seriously injured. They, like us, have no help from the flight team for the time being. The situation of the battle finally leaned towards us.
Now!"
He changed his usual calmness and calmness, raised his chest and waved his right hand hard, and no one could see the warm light in his eyes clearly.
The three-ben Staff Officer and a group of young people couldn't hold back and immediately cheered loudly: "Onboard! Imperial Pilot onboard!"
Some people even shed tears with excitement! It’s not easy! They all thought they would go back to their hometown this time. They faced the pressure of four battleships and four aircraft carriers and hundreds of fighter jets. It was too great. Unexpectedly, the situation would be turned upside down!
Iwang Takahashi's excited cheeks thrust, and he shouted quickly: "Commander! In this way, we will use seven battleships and 11 heavy cruisers to compete with the Chinese Navy. We have an absolute advantage in terms of quantity and firepower.
!Then, kill them before their aircraft carrier is repaired!"
Seven to four! Don’t worry about the difference between the main guns of the warships. The smallest one is 356mm caliber. The armor of the warship also has 305mm waterline armor, and there are even 350mm. Whether it is defense or attack, there are enough opportunities.
.
Looking at the number of naval guns, not to mention that most of them are four or eight gates, with a total of 40 gates. The "Fusang-class" is an exaggerated 12 gates per ship, and the total number is 64 giant cannons!
Each cruiser has 10, and there are more than 100. With such a large amount of firepower, it can deal with only four battleships, 36 main guns, and four heavy patrols scattered everywhere, and it is also 36 small cannons.
, the quantity advantage is more than twice as high!
With such an advantage, there is no lucky main gun fire, then whoever has greater firepower density, whoever has better artillery skills, whoever has more courage, whoever is the final winner!
The balance is completely tilted towards Japan!
Things on the battlefield cannot be simply calculated like this. Many off-field factors often play a big role. For example, Japan's bad artillery technology has led to the spread of "Nagom" shells easily reaching 1,000 meters away.
If you aim at it, you will definitely not hit it. If you aim at it, you may be able to get rid of such a thing. Can you just say it casually?
Furthermore, due to the construction structure of the "Fusang-class", the two middle turrets will seriously affect the stable balance of the warship. Once they are shot, at least half of the warship's firepower will be paralyzed, and the ammunition depot's armor is extremely weak, so it cannot be casual.
Talking nonsense.
It’s not that Yamamoto Izuru didn’t know, but at this time, his morale was strong and he finally turned around. He did not do anything in one go and he would not have a chance to come again in the second half of his life!
Taking a deep breath, he shouted with a strong voice: "Give power to the Second Team, my loyal and brave naval flying soldiers completely paralyzed the Chinese aircraft carrier. The fighter planes are fleeting. We will hold the Chinese main ship with a determined attitude. Please Chief Yoshida
Be sure to seize the opportunity and defeat each one!”
"Hi!" The three supervisors simply repeated it, and one word was good and it was quickly spread.
Yamamoto Izuru clenched his fists with both hands and hit the chart table with a "splash": "Facing the Chinese warship, fire the gun!"
"fire!"
The warship was shocked, and the strong fireworks pressed down the ship's side, urging the heavy hull to tilt to the right. The 410mm heavy artillery shells roared out of the bore and rushed straight to the distance!
The "Songshan" battleship, whose bow raised like a knife, split the waves and ran with all their might at a speed of 33 knots, facing the Japanese flagship from a distance. The front two and the back one and three turrets deflected horizontally. In the deafening roar, another round of volleys shot.
Spray more than ten tons of steel gunpowder!
The short and plentiful recoil made the hull tilt slightly to the left. In the command tower, Shen Honglie, who was gradually accustomed to this rhythm, just shook his body gently and stood steadily. His slightly narrowed eyes were boiling after the fireworks were boiling when the bombardment was bombarded.
With the rapid pounce on Chengming, he stared at the Japanese ship in the distance, then turned around and asked casually: "How long will it take for the Huashan to reach the predetermined position?"
The combat staff immediately replied: "In another five minutes, the optimal shooting angle will be formed at the rear of the flagship against the enemy!"
Shen Honglie waved his hand: "Let them change their strategies immediately, fire as much as possible from behind enemy lines, immediately rushed to the right-wing battlefield and reinforced Chief Chen's troops, and strive to form a total of the Japanese army's "Hyugao" in the shortest time!"
This change surprised everyone. Xie Gangzhe suddenly looked up at him and said in a lost voice: "Old Shen! In this way, we will become alone! If the Japanese "Muo" arrives, we will
It is inevitable that one fights two, this….”
Shen Honglie shook his head calmly: "Form is forcing people! If we divide our troops in this way, we will inevitably be besieged. The battle will last too long, and I don't know how many uncontrollable troubles will occur! For the current plan, we are the only one who is the chopping board and fight first.
The heavy blow of the Japanese main battleship created time for Chief Chen and others, and then defeated one with three and four, and had a greater chance of winning!"
Xie Gangzhe hesitated for a moment and stopped persuading: "Okay! But this way, we will take a lot of risks!"
Shen Honglie smiled slightly: "War on the battlefield, life and death change rapidly, why bother to think about so much!"
Without the support of the Air Force, these Chiang Kai-shek, who had gained the opportunity to contribute for the first time, chose to continue fighting, even if he was in danger, he would not hesitate!
The right rudder of the "Huashan" swept over the tail of the "Muao" and blocked the "Hyugao" with its head, while the "Songshan" itself faced the shelling of the "Nakamen" and moved forward with all its might!
Chapter completed!
