Chapter 467 The Battle of the Pacific Ocean (3)

The armor-piercing shell used by the 25mm machine cannon was so sharp that it was so sharp that it sank half of the Japanese submarine was exposed on the top of the bridge outside. The periscope and antenna were first affected, and were pierced and broken, and then it was destroyed by the high-explosive bomb!

The outer shell of the bridge is very thick, but the rivets are not that strong. One shot collapses over, and the surface is broken and the flesh is broken. Fortunately, the entire hull is underwater. Otherwise, after sweeping the cannon, I will definitely open the ladle!

Listening to the slamming rumbling of the lid on the top, the captain who was indented was so scared that his body was covered in white sweat! He knew very well that when he encountered a reconnaissance plane, the best way was to run quickly, run as far as he could, and dive as deep as he could, otherwise, wait to feed the fish!

When he encountered the attack of Chinese armed cargo ships and the telegrams fired by reconnaissance planes, he was sent out immediately. He might have been suffocated to death because of the broken antenna. The captain breathed a long sigh of relief. He was about to order to use torpedoes to kill the obviously problematic freighter when he suddenly heard a muffled sound outside. His face suddenly changed and he shouted loudly: "All people pay attention..."

Before he could finish his shouting, there was a loud "boom". The entire submarine seemed to be knocked by a sledgehammer. The captain staggered out, shaking his head and causing blood to be unconscious! Almost none of the other crew members could stand firm, either falling to the ground, rolling and falling, or hitting the door, in the corridor, on the pipes or in front of him, broken bones, twisted necks, and everything!

The disaster has just begun. Although the slim submarine shell can withstand the squeeze of hundreds of meters of deep water, it was in a uniform state. At this moment, a 100-pound bomb dropped from the reconnaissance plane exploded less than five meters outside. The instantaneous expansion of hot gas pushed the seawater. The huge force acted firmly on the steel shell, and in an instant, tearing open two cracks that were one foot wide. The entire submarine moved four or five meters, and then it became dozens of tons of sea water and rushing in to "gudu"!

"Drain! Drain quickly! Float..."

It is not 15 meters away from the sea surface, and the depth is limited. As long as the water is discharged, everything will have a chance! The more powerful sailor screamed in panic and struggled hard, and the equipment was constantly sparking. Suddenly, there was another loud bang outside. The submarine was shaking like a sieve, and cracks were torn apart from the bridge. The sea water was "hulong" squeezed in, and the whole submarine rolled and rolled on the side, and its head was tilted downward and straight into the deep sea!

On the water surface, two huge water columns rushed into the air and quickly dissipated. Large areas of oil mixed with broken pieces floated up. The two reconnaissance planes shook their wings and rushed to the sky with satisfaction.

In the "Maria" cargo ship, Old Robben shouted at them at the top of his voice: "Good job! Young men! When I arrive in China, I will invite you to drink!"

This is equivalent to firing an empty cannon. In fact, he must be impossible to know who helped him. He looked down and looked on the ship. Those who collapsed and fell from the container must not be found. The rest of the sailors who had already pounced on him were re-fixed. The guys who had fired several cannons were so smoky that they were all blackened by the smoke of gunpowder, but they all screamed excitedly, as if the submarine was sunk.

Old Robben waved his fist angrily at the Japanese reconnaissance plane that appeared in the distance: "Damn Japanese devils! I will come back!" He quickly turned around and turned to Hawaii--he was not stupid. The Japanese submarines and reconnaissance planes were there, and there must be a large group of warships in front. Maybe it's a good idea, and there will be a fight here!

Two task force reconnaissance planes that had sunk submarines had just climbed more than a thousand meters and saw their opponents coming towards them without saying a word!

The Japanese plane was shocked! When they saw the other party's model, they ran away without saying a word, and they couldn't do it!

The "Flying Shark!" was a "Flying Shark!" in the air fighting in the North China battlefield in China, this kind of fighter was in the limelight, killing the Army's proud Type 96 high-speed fighter, and was killed and injured! Unexpectedly, he encountered such a guy at sea, and with his own small body, he could not do it at all!

The Japanese reconnaissance aircraft ran cleanly and neatly, with almost the same appearance as the Type 96. It was almost made of a base version of Mitsubishi Navy A6m3 carrier-based fighter. Unlike the Army version, it uses a small "Rising" turbocharged engine with 1,250 horsepower and a flat-flight speed of 595 kilometers. It is considered awesome in the world.

But the problem is that the opponents they face are too rough and thick, with greater horsepower! The model is larger! The maneuverability and climbing speed are not bad, and even the level flight speed is higher! When fighting one-on-one, the opponent will most likely be able to dominate with more fierce firepower and strike resistance. Two-on-one, it is inevitable that you will go up to find trouble!

When the Japanese plane fleeing frantically reached its maximum horsepower, it was so fast! Especially when the high-speed dive could reach a short-term speed of 680 kilometers, it almost reached the limit that the body could withstand, and it was not so easy to catch up.

The two naval versions of the F-24c were chased for ten minutes and gave up. One was difficult to catch up, the other was that the other party had called for support, and the reflection of the wings dozens of kilometers away could be seen from a distance. The Japanese fleet was also rushing towards the full speed, and the army was alone, so there was no need.

In the Japanese fleet, the report ahead made Yamamoto Izuru frown into a lump, and he was pacing back and forth in the command room with some uneasiness. Everything seemed too unusual!

First of all, the Chinese flag of the cargo ship. As we all know, China now has no international status. It is not glorious to sail under their banner and is easily robbed. Not to mention the US-Hawaii-Japan route, the domineering Japanese ships often cause trouble for them. Therefore, almost all Chinese ships are under the flag of the WorldCom Group or other, and most of them are armed cargo ships under Zhu Bin's name, so there is no problem.

This is already a loophole. The disobedient lower-level officer made a fuss again. He couldn't help but take action as soon as he saw the opportunity. According to his understanding, Yamamoto Iroku dared to conclude that his own people must have fired first, which led to the other party's counterattack with a naval gun. Under normal circumstances, the submarine has the advantage, but the reconnaissance plane comes so quickly! It's very unreasonable!

The submarine is finished, and the losses have been caused, so it is inevitable to start fighting. But no matter how he thinks about it, it smells like conspiracy. Could it be that there are ghosts inside?

At this time, there was no time to consider other reasons. The captains in the fleet were screaming. Since they had discovered the whereabouts of the other party and such a conflict occurred, it would be useless not to take action. The signal was obvious!

Yamamoto Iroku made a quick decision, tidied up his military uniform and shouted in a deep voice: "Order the carrier-based aircraft to take off and implement it immediately according to the scheduled combat plan!"

"Hi!" The staff members with their eyes shining shouted together, and the battle alarm immediately echoed shrillly over the fleet.

On the four aircraft carriers of the "Fengxiang", "Akagi", "Kaga" and "Ryukazu" which are in the center of a huge escort formation, the total number of the first wave is 120 aircraft, including 80 A6m3 fighters and 40 Type 97 carrier-based attack aircraft, took off quickly!

The two aircraft carriers that were once seriously injured have been repaired and catapults have been added to the original basis, which can allow all carrier-based aircraft to take off within 20 minutes. Therefore, from the sound of the alarm, in less than 20 minutes, the sky was already filled with a large group of fighter jets.

However, they did not immediately rush to the predetermined target, but slowly hovered and accelerated. It was not until the second wave of 100 fighter jets took off, and then they quickly accelerated and rushed to the war zone!

At the same time, the four battleships of Nagato, Muro, Ise, and Hinaga accelerated from the formation, forming battle lines in the front, and gradually stretched to about 8 nautical miles apart. The rear was "Miaogao" and the eight heavy cruisers at the top of the two levels followed closely behind and formed a large air defense formation, cooperating with more than 20 destroyers, lying on the vast ocean, pushing strongly!

If you don’t fight, you will have to use an airplane to fight! This is the strategy that Yamamoto Izuru has been adhering to!

He always believed that naval warfare had reached the era of aircraft victory, and experiments from various countries have proved that under the bombing of enough aircraft clusters, no powerful warships could be spared. Therefore, over the years, he has been promoting the development of faster fighter jets and the construction of more aircraft carriers.

Unfortunately, the empire tore up the naval agreement too late, and it was too late to build aircraft carriers. So far, only the three aircraft carriers, "Longxiang", "Canglong" and "Flying Dragon", have completed. The total number of carrier-based aircraft of the three is only 186, which is far from the number he dreamed of!

According to the size of the American fleet, the largest enemy that the empire has always planned, if you want to completely destroy them, you must be able to assemble a huge fleet of 300-500 aircraft to ensure that one strike is fatal. If there are fewer, it will not be enough to see it, and it will not be safe!

In addition, it is the quality of carrier-based aircraft. In the past few years, the two-wing wooden fighter jets were just fine to deal with the Chinese people, but after the battle in Shanghai, China's aircraft technology soared and has now become the world's top leading force. There is no rival on land and air combat! The navy's will definitely not be bad, and it is an extremely dangerous opponent for Japan!

Fortunately, with his insistence, Type 96 was born, and a faster ship-based model appeared. Type 97 ship attack, attack aircraft that can carry torpedoes also appeared. The huge fleet of aircraft, with more powerful forces than the opponent, will definitely achieve brilliant victory!

The "buzzing" engine roared in a cluster, and the ripples of the shocking vast sea surface surged. Yamamoto Iroku waved his hand silently at them in a state of great excitement, and prayed in his heart: "Go! With the expectations of billions of subjects of the empire, bravely defeat the enemy and return with the glory of victory!" (To be continued)!~!
