Chapter 774 Single-handedly rampage (1)(1/2)
ps: Kaven is as uncomfortable as constipation... The recent plot is a bit wrong, I apologize!
Some people later called Halsey "Barton in the US Navy", which actually refers to their similar toughness, stubbornness, fighting, perseverance and maverickness, not sticking to secular rules, not being bound by bureaucracy, and not being afraid of them.
, without compromise, the stinky and hard character in the pit made many people feel helpless, but their paranoia eventually won.
That's enough to prove everything.
As a representative of American power, nothing in his mind deserves attention than honor and dignity. Zhu Bin's approach is simply to slap them in the face. If someone else had done it, he might have taken into account the attitude of the US government and the president.
It's out of control, and the two sides will break out in a war that will both sides suffer a loss, and so on.
But Halsey didn't care. It seemed that he thought it would be the best way to kill that bold guy first and then discuss something else!
The vast ocean is a natural jungle. It is very difficult to discover a stealth battleship hidden inside!
After easily breaking through the encirclement, the Yingzhou ship left behind two seriously injured cruisers who had temporarily lost their combat capabilities and left. When other warships surrounded them, they could not even see any smoke.
Well, in fact, the nuclear-powered fully electric cruiser will not leave too many traces, and it will be difficult to track it for a little longer. After the plane on the battlefield was also cleared, its whereabouts became
Extremely troublesome thing!
At least a dozen reconnaissance aircraft need to venture a low-altitude detailed search to find it. We also have to expect the weather to remain sunny. This is very difficult! The problem is that there are only so many aircraft available in this sea area!
Halsey's order came very timely. The total number of reconnaissance aircraft on more than a dozen warships was totaled nearly thirty, except for those killed. The remaining dozen were swarmed out with the tragic tragedy of being shot down, searching from all directions, using
After nearly three hours, I finally found the trace of the "Yingzhou" again, an electromagnetic shielded airspace!
This unique trick is so far only the Chinese Navy has mastered, and no other countries can do anything about it. In turn, it has become a verification of the existence of the target. In order to ensure that there will be no more cases of yesterday's search and being fooled by a submarine.
The reconnaissance aircraft that was raised was divided into multiple dual-plane groups, keeping the visible distance in the field of view and connecting it into a series to slowly search forward to see which one is shot down in the end, and then you can determine the general location of the target warship.
The efficiency of such a method is so incredible, but it is the only way to work. The other party's electromagnetic blocking area has a radius of hundreds of kilometers, which is too large!
At around 3:00 pm, a group of seaplanes that took off from Midway Island arrived and joined the search queue. Finally, at around 5:00 pm, relying on the advantage of quantity, the "Yingzhou" was brought from the endless sea.
I found it! At this time, the total number of various aircraft added to the search was as high as fifty!
This is the largest air search operation since the establishment of the US Pacific Fleet. It will not be mentioned in terms of the effect, and the importance it has been taken into account!
The Yingzhou, which had just broken two heavy cruisers of the US military, seemed to have no idea how bad things they had done. It was moving forward leisurely and steadily at a speed of 25 knots, drawing huge s on the sea.
The track is not as afraid of the US military's pursuit.
It was almost dusk. The reconnaissance aircraft used a maneuverable attitude to transmit the message out of the electromagnetic shielded area like a baton, and finally arrived in the pioneer fleet. After repeated confirmation, General Halsey's face became less happy for a moment.
"Gentlemen! I have to say that our enemy is very cunning! His exposure time is really good! It is about to be night, and that will be an environment for them to fully utilize their technical and equipment advantages! According to the current course and speed
, in the early morning tomorrow, he can either enter the attack distance between fighter jets and go south to hide in the Marshall Islands, and walk in a hidden place! He may even rush into our formation to attack!"
A wise light flashed in Halsey's eyes, and a bloody look at the difficulties he faced.
The staff and the captains were relaxed on the surface, but they seemed to have been crushed to a huge rock in their hearts, and they were making suggestions in a verbal way.
"Night combat is not scary! Our aircraft carrier also carries high-power SG radars. There are also hidden submarines on the periphery, so it should not be difficult to find him!"
Halsey vetoed this without hesitation: "No! From the experience of the 'Helena', we can tell that our radar has little effect on him! The key is that so far, we can't figure out him out.
What is the real purpose!”
Mills Browning reminded: "If it were Chinese, it might be a revenge on the unilateral blockade adopted by Congress! The losses caused were very fatal to a businessman! As we know,
Mr. Zhu’s temper will never swallow his anger!”
"But he has stole the gold from the Federal Bank? He has blocked the Panama Canal. Is that enough?!"
This matter is too big, and no one who is a little smart doesn't know about it. With the guidance of the Morgan Consortium and the resentful groups such as DuPont, the public opinion in the United States has deliberately or unintentionally placed the responsibility on Zhu.
On Bin's head.
Mills shook his head: "No one can prove that he did it! That cunning guy left no evidence! And in the long run, he suffered much more losses than the United States!"
Halsey waved his hand hard to stop the controversy: "Those are not important! It is best to kill the guy in front of you first! Order the whole fleet will reduce the speed of progress and ensure that they will not enter the other party's long-range before sunrise tomorrow.
Attack range!”
When fighting, you cannot have a one-sided calculation! Using your own disadvantages to deal with the opponent's advantages, the wise will not do it!
Halsey inferred the attacking ability of the two main heavy cruisers from the crushing defeats, and felt "shocked". According to the battle report, the opponent only had one double turret, but could hit three triple turrets.
The rate is several times more than the one, and the ability to resist strikes is superb. The entire battlefield seems to be controlled by them. This is a completely one-sided battle situation!
He asked himself, even if he commanded two identical heavy cruisers, he probably wouldn't be able to do this well. Maybe a fast battleship could achieve such a record!
The fast fleet changed from direct flights to oblique arc routes, and changed from the original direct flight to the target area to the side by side. This delayed at least three or four hours of flight, but greatly increased the time for the two sides to meet.
Night fell. All reconnaissance planes lost their function. The Yingzhou calculated all these conditions. The original course in Hawaii suddenly changed into the southern route between the Marshall Islands and Johnston Island, and took advantage of the night to take a quick turn to rest.
The radar system quietly discovered in advance that the search destroyers and submarines avoided it without any friction.
After a peaceful night, the warships suddenly ran to the south of the Halsey Express Fleet, which was nearly 400 kilometers away from each other, just outside the combat radius of their carrier-based aircraft! Especially after the electromagnetic shielding was stopped at night. The US Army
The Investigation Search Network cannot detect anything, and the investigation work must be started over again, which has become a big trouble!
Until 10:30 in the morning, a large group of warships suddenly appeared on the radar screen of the "Yingzhou"; in addition to the submarines and destroyers that were moving around, the most conspicuous were four battleships advancing in two columns.
!There are also six heavy cruisers and piles of auxiliary ships!
Halsey's troops were indeed extraordinary. The fast and slow fleets he created helped each other. They each blocked a sea area, and the three encirclements formed exceeded 1,500 nautical miles in diameter. However, they seriously blocked the target!
Of course, Zhu Bin also deliberately commanded the warships to come here. He was not interested in going to the north to challenge the thousands of various fighter jets deployed by the US military, which was a rhythm of seeking death!
The distance between them was less than 100 kilometers. More than a dozen reconnaissance aircraft that took off in the early morning swept across a wide airspace of 100 kilometers, forming a huge search network, and the dozen scattered destroyers were also on the front of 500 kilometers wide.
Release measures to ensure that there are no omissions.
Halsey determined that the target warship was just between the three encirclements they formed, searching through dozens of warships and hundreds of aircraft in the network, and it would not be impossible to find it!
Almost when the "Yingzhou" radar saw the US fleet, two US reconnaissance planes found suspicious traces from different directions. Halsey immediately ordered: "Drive him at all costs!"
The unprecedented number of force, piles of giant ships and cannons, and the formation of two aircraft carriers have exceeded the theoretical combat capabilities of the "Yingzhou".
Zhu Bin stood on the top of the high bridge, looked up at the large dark clouds that were quickly rushing into the distance, and laughed: "Look! Even God is helping you! Such a good opportunity must not be missed
!Let us make a big fuss and do a big fight!”
A sea storm came unexpectedly, with a low intensity. It was enough to put it on land to tear down walls and pull out trees, causing disasters!
First, the strong wind rolled the waves from afar. The five or six meters high waves seemed to raise the sea in an instant, forming a huge wall nearly two stories high to push the vast sea across the sea. Immediately afterwards, one by one,
The crests followed one after another in the rumbling roar!
The 8.2-to-1 slender hull of the "Yingzhou" is designed for harsh sea conditions. The longitudinal keel and armored box composed of high-strength alloy form a strong whole, enough to fight against huge waves above level 7 sea conditions and above 9 meters.
The combat capability is guaranteed to be not greatly affected, and it is not the same level as the poor design of the Japanese Fourth Fleet being cut off by triangular waves!
The first wave of sea waves surged, and the warship suddenly rose up as if it was held by the palm of the Titan giant. With the steering and avoiding posture, the violent forward and backward pitching and bumping made the people on the ship almost unstable!
Tesla's eyebrows were flying in excitement and laughed: "What a rare good luck. It's a test of bad weather so quickly! See if our warships and equipment can withstand it!"
Zhu Bin complained in his heart: "The old man is really optimistic! He is not afraid that if something goes wrong, he will give the American devil a chance to pounce on him and bombard him and kill him!"
Fortunately, all the occupants were mentally prepared for this and sat on their own positions to continue working, and were not panicked.
The US fleet was completely different! When the dark clouds and strong winds that were advancing like mountains against the sea, the squadron commander suddenly changed his face! Based on his experience, he judged that they were in big trouble at that time!
In the Pacific, the least rare thing is tropical storms. They always come every few days and there are regularities. They are different in strengths and weaknesses. Under normal circumstances, they are not afraid of them. American warships are not as unprovoked as those poor guys made by Japan.
But this time it is different. There is an enemy ship that I just discovered on the other side! And it is a mysterious guy who doesn’t know how powerful his force is, but can easily defeat two heavy cruisers. At least more than half of his warships will be threatened!
The most important thing is that they originally had to rely on the winning fighter plane and could not take off!
As the waves of the storm and dark clouds first made the ships on the periphery sway, at least the judgment of the sea conditions of the fifth level made the commander's face become more serious. The ships were busy recovering reconnaissance aircraft to prevent accidents. As the flagship "York City" aircraft carrier
F4f, TBD and other fighter jets that had already started to be launched had to be fixed and recycled in a hurry and take off and attacked? In this weather condition, we are looking for death!
The last reconnaissance information returned showed that the warship was continuing to move forward in the wind and waves, not avoiding its strong formation at all; they realized that the other party was not not discovering themselves, but was going to challenge directly!
Yes! Challenge! Zhu Bin takes advantage of the storm and heavy losses in the US fleet's combat effectiveness and rushes forward and take the initiative to challenge!
The wind and waves pushed, the warship swayed, and the sharp knife-shaped bow split the waves and approached. When heavy rainstorms arrived, the CXAM1 radar of the "York City" finally caught a trace of signal. It almost scared the radar crew on the spot and urinated them.
The target was discovered at 25 nautical miles, and the signal strength was two laps larger than the battleship they already knew!
The radar crew thought they had read it wrong! It is true that their radar can detect such a far signal. However, the accuracy is not as high as expected, and there are interferences from storms. In fact, it would be great to be able to find the other party at a distance of 16 nautical miles!
The discovery should be a good thing. The key is that various intelligences and the latest reconnaissance judgments show that the other party is a large heavy cruiser's body shape! The displacement will definitely not exceed 20,000 tons. With such a body size, according to the design performance, the cxam1 radar can only be
It can only be seen within 15 nautical miles! Before, the more advanced SG radar installed on the "Helena" has been confirmed, and this guy may not be able to see radar echoes even within 10 kilometers!
Hell!
After repeatedly confirming that there was no error, he had to report the situation as usual. When the radar heard that his head was too big, he kept feeding it to the commander of the squadron, and was scolded: "No matter what kind of signal they are, as long as
Just be right if the goal is right! All ships are ready to fight!"
On the "Yingzhou", Zhu Bin laughed and said, "Americans should be shocked, right? The signal strength of the Yamato battleship we released was that they could not guess what was going on even if they wanted to break their heads.
Bar?!"
Not bad! He asked the warship to form electronic signals for all the collected "Yamato" data, and then actively released it to the other party's radar to discover, causing serious misjudgment. If this is completely unavailable at night, it will definitely be
It will cause great trouble.
The electronic warfare system of the "Yingzhou" is not only that. It can even simulate the signal of an entire fleet. As long as it is not discovered by naked eyes, just relying on the radar signal to judge who believes it will be fooled!
