Chapter 472 The Battle of the Pacific Ocean (8)
Naval battles are the most difficult to endure people. They often take a long time to plan and wait, just for a few hours or half a day of blood and fire, and there is no room for turning around in life and death.
At 5:40 pm, the second Japanese army team drove to about 150 nautical miles away from the first team and headed north. With the pursuit of the task force, the three formed a diagonal line through. The two aircraft carriers of the "Canglong" and "Flying Dragon" took off 110 fighters and dive bombers and rushed towards the scene!
Almost at the same time, Chen Shaokuan issued a short and powerful order on the flagship: "Clear the scene!"
The fleet that had been entangled over the fleets of both sides for nearly six hours scattered. First, thirty or forty F-25 dive bombers broke away from their own formation and retreated at high speed in the direction of the fleet. They followed the F-24c flying sharks and fought and retreated with exhausted Japanese fighter jets, confronting each other and slowly retreating.
Yamamoto Iroku was determined to order the pursuit, but after asking, he realized that almost all the aircraft fuel was not much. If he barely chased, he would not only not be able to get it, but he might not be able to come back. When he thought of the opponent's terrible combat power and air defense firepower, he wisely chose to give up, landed in batches, and urgently repaired the supply. Anyway, in another half an hour, reinforcements will arrive, so he is not afraid that the opponent will come to cause trouble.
It seemed that both sides ended peacefully, but Yamamoto Iroku could not have imagined that the enemy planes that should have returned to the aircraft carrier supply were flew straight back to the fleet airspace and suddenly spread out from all directions. The two aircraft and a group of two swept all around. The two were carefully trying to get close to reconnaissance twenty nautical miles away. Or the submarines that were scooping up some cheaper were sunk by bombs falling from the sky!
Subsequently, except for more than ten fighter jets injured in the battle landing and repairing, the reserve fighter jets took off the same number, and they separated them like double-clicking, and rushed to the boundless sea with all their might! Almost all areas with a radius of 500 kilometers were included in the attack range, and all ships encountered were warned and driven away. Seeing Japanese ships, they rushed up without saying a word and shot and bombed!
Chen Shaokuan's orders crossed the sky through radio waves, and within a radius of 500 kilometers around Nanniao Island. Nearly 20 Ming-class and Song-class submarines suddenly rose from a submersible depth of 200 meters. Slim 533mm high-speed torpedoes rushed out of the launch port with long bubble trails, killing all the eight Japanese submarines they had been targeting!
Not only that. Some of the Japanese freighters and fishing boats wandering on the nearby sea were either a torpedo that was blown up or broken by cannons on the deck. Those who were lucky enough to fall into the water did not leave any living mouths and all swept to death with machine guns!
The worst thing is that the naval meteorological observation station on Nanniao Island was swooped down by a sudden "sea mortar" long-range patrol aircraft, leaving six bombs behind. The small island was immediately swallowed by flames, and the two naval soldiers stationed inside turned into coke in a daze!
The patrol plane was still diving down with confidence. It repeatedly used a 20mm cannon to plow back and forth, and hovered for half an hour and was sure that there was no living mouth before it was swaying and leaving!
As night fell, a mysterious fleet quietly rushed into the empty land of thousands of miles south of Nanto Island. The leader was two "Taishan-class" battleships, accompanied by two aircraft carriers with longer and wider decks! In addition, there were six 2,500-ton "island-class" destroyers and a 10,000-ton high-speed supply ship, slashing the sea surface in a mighty manner. Chasing the tail of the enemy's second team, chasing the speed of 33 knots!
If someone outsiders see this group of warships at this moment, they will be surprised to hear the sound of the enemy. Where did so many huge creatures come from? How did they emerge?!
No one knows how abnormal the speed of Zhu Bin's ten major ships that started construction in the machine production line of the Shanfu Cave were all processed by robotic arms!
Although the four "Taishan-class" battleships started construction almost with the outside port, the construction speed was surprisingly fast. The ten 500-meter ships inside, the 10 120-meter ships outside, and the production lines on both sides of the channel, dismantled the huge battleships into modules and welded and assembled. The production speed was nearly 4 times faster than manual labor!
It doesn't even take 6 months to manufacture the hull. It's just that the production of boilers, steam turbines, generators, artillery and other facilities cannot keep up, so it takes longer. Even so, the interval between two ships in each batch is only 2 months.
Now, the two battleships that were completely welded from the keel to attract attention have completed the main construction, and they are still lying on the platform to assemble internal facilities. It will take at least one year before they are launched into the water to serve. The second batch of two ships, which were completely completed by the automatic production line, and two aircraft carriers with a standard platoon of more than 30,000 tons, have completed all the construction work early. While the 101 and 102 ships were quickly traveling to the world to attract attention, they quietly drove out at night and conducted multiple sea tests.
After two months, the naval officers who were familiar with Yu Xiong through the virtual training system had already played more easily, so they quietly drove out from behind, and hid in the mobile version of the "Mirage" system at day and night. They went to the Zhoushan base once, passed Ryukyu twice, and walked to the end here!
Because this fact is too incredible and too confidential, the subordinate officers don’t know at all. Only a few people such as Chen Shaokuan know how big a card he is holding! Otherwise, he would not have such a big delusion and dare to be in front of the Japanese army twice as strong as his current strength!
The clearing of the scene was precisely for the mysterious reinforcement to sneak into the battlefield quietly. Chen Shaokuan's plans and ambitions were greater than ordinary people imagined! He wanted to avenge his shame and cleanse the ancestors of the Huanghai, Dadonggou and Beiyang Navy more than 40 years ago, and the ancestors of the Huanghai, Dadonggou and Beiyang Navy were helpless and shameless!
The night fell completely with the recovery of the fighter jets on both sides! After two hours of speeding, the First Squadron of the Task Force was nearly 80 nautical miles away from the Japanese fleet, and one hour of crossing, both sides were about to enter the main gun range. Chen Shaokuan ordered the turn again, from the heading west to southwest, and vertically rushing to the Japanese army's waist and abdomen, but after more than an hour, it would be just right to stagger, which would form an advantageous position over its tail.
Yamamoto Iroku was overwhelmed by a series of reports. More than a dozen reconnaissance planes were killed in a row, many submarines were destroyed, and even fishing boats were not spared. What exactly were these guys doing?!
There has never been a formal declaration of war between China and Japan. Every time, Japan finds an excuse to raid the cold, and makes a breakthrough when making a profit, and stops when suffering losses. Every time, it can succeed. From top to bottom, it has become accustomed to taking the initiative in everything. Apart from verbally protesting and mediating with the League of Nations, the Chinese government has always had no choice but to light up the water and not dry itchy. Even Zhu Bin, who has a strong military force, seems very gentle. At least, his bombers have not visited Tokyo.
But what happened this time? As the entanglement was about to end, they suddenly went crazy! The sank of freighters and fishing boats and submarines were not considered a loss. This was a signal of a full-scale war! No matter what Commander Yamamoto thought, what the conservatives thought, the Japanese citizens, radical army, young and strong sects, and the madmen of the commander-in-chief, were not willing to suffer this loss. The slogan of war would probably be heard all over the country tonight!
Yamamoto Irokuo felt anger at Chen Shaokuan for the first time. This was too much! You are a dignified admiral after all. You should have traditional honor and integrity, right? Taking action against innocent civilians is not something you should do, it will only make your colleagues feel cold.
In addition, if the full war between the two countries is triggered and the deaths of thousands of innocent people is caused, the hundreds of thousands of pro-Japanese factions in China will definitely hinder all kinds of dirty words and slandering, criticize them, and knock them down to the ground and step on ten thousand feet, and never turn over!
The culprits that caused the complete break of friendship and diplomatic relations between the two countries, the executioner who provoked war, and the criminal who undermined international peace...! As a noble soldier who regards honor as life, can you resist it?!
In the first team that was pursuing deathly, the many assistants and generals were stunned by the unusual news first, and they couldn't believe it was true. The Chinese dared to break the rules of the war first?!
Then, the screams and curses, and the calls for crazy petitions to the end almost blocked the radio channel!
Severe punishment! Severe punishment! If these guys are not completely eliminated, I will be sorry for those civilian compatriots who died! Not only should they be killed, but they should also drive the warships to the coast of China and bombard all the cities, villages, and ships that can be seen to the slag! Endless artillery fire must be used to let them understand that the dignity of the Great Japanese Empire cannot be trampled on!
Countless spits of star splashed in the command room of each warship. Dozens of pilots with night flight experience had bloodshot eyes and menstrual belts tied on their heads. They boarded the fighter plane in a desperate attitude and bravely rushed into the sky for enemy searches. They all knew that if they could not hold on until dawn tomorrow, they would hit and die on the sea during their trek or landing, the greatest possible ending point would be theirs.
However, for the glory of the empire and the safety of the fleet, even if they die, they are fearless warriors and can climb to the God Platform to receive incense offerings.
Yamamoto Iroku didn't believe that his opponent would sail in the predetermined direction. If the opponent seized the advantageous position, once the fire was opened, their four battleships would not be able to exert their firepower, it would be very disadvantageous. It is necessary to grasp the opponent's traces and seize the fighter planes. Then, with the powerful advantage of the Imperial Navy's night battle, they would definitely be able to send them all to the seabed with giant cannons!
On the other hand, Chen Shaokuan is even more unlikely to give up his advantages in long-range radar and night aviation reconnaissance in vain. With his strong maneuverability, how can he not seize the initiative on the battlefield?
Seeing the entire fleet turn, he calmly ordered: "Light control! Submarine troops retreat to the scheduled location, the main guns of each ship, prepare!" (To be continued.
