Chapter 668 East China Sea War (24) Missile Bombing 3!
Yamamoto Iroku was taken to a traffic boat and fled in panic before the "Navon" sinks. He just ran away less than 500 meters and saw the flagship of the chrysanthemum badge representing the long history and glory of the Imperial Navy, which was seriously unbalanced. The tail was severely flooded and sank deeply, dragging the hull head upwards. The two turrets were unwilling to point to the high altitude. On the shattered commander tower, soldiers and officers kept falling down in a shrill and desperate screams, falling on the mast or cannon, bounced up and fell into the water.
The dizziness caused by the two consecutive explosions has not disappeared. Yamamoto is not young at all, and his spirit is far less than that of a young man. After being washed away by the cold sea water splashed by the debris, he finally woke up a little. Then he looked at the warship that was sinking down the tail in disbelief. The top was swallowed by the burning fire little by little. His lips were pale, his hands and feet were trembling. He was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly turned around and asked, "What the hell is going on!"
Chief of Staff Furuwan had a thick bandage on his head, and his nose was covered with a collapsed bone that seemed to have burned. He said in a strange tone: "Master Commander, we have been hit by a powerful blow from unknown sources. The Nagato was hit twice in a row, and the explosion destroyed the hull, so he had to abandon the ship!"
"Baga! What does the flight group do for food? Haven't they discovered anything?!"
Even though Yamamoto's temper is famous for being good in the Japanese Navy, he couldn't help but become furious at this time. Such an irresponsible answer is too inappropriate! What does it mean to be unknown? Are there other enemies in this sea area?
Furuo Qian was helpless, it was only ten minutes later. He had no more intelligence support at all. Only a fighter plane that was almost implicated and lost control issued a report, saying that the strike came from the air. In addition, the observer in front claimed that he had seen a huge, thick and long guy. In addition, he didn't know what the thing looked like and who launched it!
Not to mention, they are now running away in a mess on the traffic boat. Where can I get the conditions to keep up to date with the latest information at any time?
Yamamoto Iroku soon woke up and realized that he might have to repeat the same mistake this time. The enemy was too cunning and mysterious. Every time he could take out something he could not understand to cheat people. It was hard to defend against. Needless to say, this time it was the mysterious weapon of Zhu Bin's army, but this power was too outrageous. It only had two strikes. It sank a 40,000-ton giant ship?! Isn't that even more terrifying than the main gun of a battleship, or a thousand-pound bomb?
This is his second time to abandon the ship and escape. In just two years, his naval career has suffered two ruthless humiliations. If it were a person with a weak mind, he would probably have to commit suicide by septum? He has such an enemy. I really don’t know if it is the misfortune of the Empire. But no matter what, he has to persevere. The Imperial Navy must have someone with a clear mind to take charge of the overall situation!
"Boom!"
A sudden loud bang came, and the boiler room of the Changmen was scorched by a fire. Thousands of tons of fuel and the adjacent ammunition depots exploded, as if bombarded by giant fish or bombs. A large fireball with a diameter of over 100 meters rose into the air, rolling strongly to form a mushroom cloud soared into the sky. A shock wave that could be seen suddenly spread along the sea surface, pushing the waves into a layer of stirring ripple, and in the blink of an eye rushed onto the traffic boat, shaking the boat.
The "Navonmen" finally tried to jump up like a drowning person, barely poking out a trace of the sinking heavy body, and then resolutely fell down vertically until the flagpole on the bow of the ship finally sank into the water, pulling out a huge vortex, dragging all the soldiers around him who were half dead and unconscious in the explosion into the seabed hundreds of meters deep.
Yamamoto Iroku closed his eyes and couldn't help but shed tears of pain. Is this an elegy symbolizing the sunset of the Imperial Navy? How could he see the sinking of the flagship with his own eyes so cruelly? Is it really a retribution for some violent behaviors of the Empire? Or did he not respect his own will and did not stop the war from expanding?
Perhaps I didn’t agree to send troops from the beginning, agreed with the conservative resolution of Ishihara Kanji or someone, stopped the head-on conflict with China, silently developed itself, improved industry and technology, and finally had an invincible powerful force, and continued to maintain the position of the Great Japanese Empire in the world. I don’t have to fight for the status of any leader. It was a fanatical dream!
Fu Liufan wiped the water stains on his forehead and comforted him helplessly: "Commander, please take a break. This is an irreparable loss. As long as we can kill the Chinese navy in the next battle, everything will be redeemed! Such a thing is really helpless, so don't be too sad!"
Iroru Yamamoto nodded in agreement and said nothing, but his face was cold, not as gentle as before. A main flagship completely sank in less than ten minutes, and the loss of at least five or six hundred people. Who can give up such a blow just by saying it?
A hundred years of navy! This is not a casual talk. It only takes three years to build a warship, and it takes five or six years to train qualified pilots and sailors. An excellent commander, without 10 or 20 years of experience and the baptism and training of a few wars, would not be able to mature. This time the loss is too great!
The "Muo" marched less than a kilometer in front of it. Its structure and the highest bridge tower looked very spectacular from a distance. At this time, she had raised the flagship flag. As long as Yamamoto climbed up, it would become a new flagship and lead the fleet to continue fighting.
The alarm of the air strike echoed on the sea. On the "Luo", more than a thousand naval officers and soldiers rushed to their posts, and all the air defense firepower was ready to be alert and fired at any time; more than a dozen fighter jets flew in circles at a height of 1,000 meters, ready to catch fire at any time; more than a dozen high-altitude interceptors rushed to an altitude of 8,000 meters, trying to find enemy aircraft that might be hidden in the clouds.
Yamamoto Iroku nodded with relief. The emergency plan he had prepared in advance was fully implemented. Before taking the attack, after integrating the information obtained from the Army Department, he and the staff team formulated various plans in particular, including the fleet's operation strategy after the flagship was raided.
Yamamoto, who is deeply aware of the Air Force's victory theory, is very clear about the opponent's strengths, but it is not something that can be surpassed casually. Everything was shown in yesterday's Ryukyu Island air battle. The Chinese Air Force, or Zhu Bin's air force, is stronger than expected. They can raid for a long distance and accurately hit ground targets. Then as long as their bombers reach the top of the fleet, the bombs dropped hit huge warships, is not a problem at all.
At this time, the actions of the high-altitude interceptor are one of the targeted plans, and those dangerous guys must be blocked outside the bomb drop zone. Well? It seems that the bombing just now may have been done by them?
Yamamoto frowned, but he could not contact the fleet at any time on the traffic boat and command it. He could only reach "Muo" in a few minutes, and everything was still in time...
Yamamoto was thinking about it, and suddenly exclaimed, he reacted like an electric shock, and suddenly looked up. He suddenly saw a silver light coming from far to near in the sky. In just a second, he looked up, and in less than a second, he suddenly rushed to the front. A few hundred meters away, he could clearly see that it was a figure similar to the main gun of the battleship. His two flat wings were slender and slender, and his figure looked like there was no beauty.
But it was such a guy who left a afterimage on Yamamoto's retina at the speed of a cannonball, and plunged into the bow of "Muo" with lightning speed!
The next moment, a dazzling white light suddenly came, piercing Yamamoto Izuru's pupils suddenly contracted. Seeing a large area of "Muo" bulging upwards, a huge fireball suddenly rushed out from the side and top. The blazing flames splashed indescribable speed. The huge hull sank downwards, and then it seemed as if it was lifted up from the bottom by a giant!
"boom!"
The huge explosion made Yamamoto's ears deaf again! The dazzling light made him blind and could not see the front. The turret of the same mighty warship, which was overturned backwards, and the 360-ton structure flew to the height of the bridge. When it fell, it hit the base of the commander's tower, smashing a large piece of more than ten meters in diameter, causing dozens of casualties!
A "spear" anti-ship missile accurately hit the bow of "Muo" because the angle was too straight, and the collision position was exactly a thick cable column. However, the missile still penetrated the upper deck and entered the main cabin box and exploded. The forward force almost tore half of the bow off the keel!
Yamamoto Iroku shouted instinctively: "No!"
Unfortunately, no one would listen to his howl, and the second missile then attacked! This time, the angle of the strike was slightly off, and it penetrated from the right side, and penetrated a double-mounted turret skyward to the back of the commander tower. The high-temperature jet burst all the soldiers inside into slag. The supersonic flying bullet body was injected into pieces and the ammunition depot, and it penetrated to the end and went directly into the main power cabin.
This location is too straight. A boiler was penetrated by two large holes. The high-temperature and high-heat steam rushed to tear open the broken gap and rushed out. The following violent explosion swept horizontally, frying the remaining boilers and steam turbines to pieces. The high-temperature steam that suddenly lost its constraints rages horizontally along the break, roasting all the crew here into a state of maturity. The flames mixed in the middle then triggered the steam to expand sharply.
