Chapter 827 Engagement! The pinnacle of giant ship artillery (2)!
The Aviation Research Center hosted by Wang Zhu and the Advanced Power Propeller Laboratory that Tesla has been involved in, have a thorough research on all flying things around the world. Especially in Japan, which often deals with, the more familiar ones are even more familiar than most local Japanese researchers.
It can be said that the entire Japanese aviation technology research and development was a potential that was forced out by the world's top experts, Wang Shu and Tesla. However, due to Japan's weak foundation, their foundation was greatly overdrawn, so it emerged that experts like Jiro Hiroshi can design high-speed, high-motorized and small fighting aircraft, but they cannot solve a series of problems such as materials, armor, engine reliability and right turn loss.
Jiro Hiroyuki is still capable, so in the "Ultimate Zero War", most of the above problems were solved, but the engine quality and turbocharger were nowhere to be copied, which led to a drag on the hindrance and could not solve a completely reliable and perfect fighter.
However, there is one thing they deserve to be proud of, that is, the speed of the plane. Without the mixed fingers of Zhu Bin, the Japanese made the main fighter jets reach a level flight speed of more than 700 kilometers, far exceeding all the contemporary powerful aircraft! Just this day, it was enough for them to be proud.
The team led by Wang Zhu analyzed and studied all the Japanese products and clearly understood their stubborn problems. Now products that are beyond their research context and way of thinking are emerging on the battlefield. It goes without saying that it is not that the Japanese suddenly exploded, but that outsiders intervened!
Japan's local area was bombed in scattered areas, and its aircraft industry was the first target. Even a safe place could not be found. How could it be possible to quickly research and manufacture more advanced fighter jets?
The US aviation industry level has also been closely grasped by commercial spies. Only they can successfully transform an advanced fighter with obvious shortcomings but excellent foundation with mature Pratt & Whitney engines, advanced aviation materials research and other expertise.
Coupled with the current reality of secret cooperation between Japan and the United States, it is conceivable that there will be no shortage of technical exchanges between the two countries.
Zhu Bin was quite entertaining about this situation: "It's interesting! I don't know what kind of sparks will be created when a nation that likes to go to extremes and cooperates with an extroverted, inclusive and upstart who likes to break through the rules!"
The Japanese paranoia often leads them to create something incredible, which is really a model for national temperament to run through industrial production. Americans are rich and generous in the market, so the wonderful ideas of various talents are fully displayed, and there is a variety of products and extensive expansion. If the combination of the two is the effect of one plus one greater than two, unexpected strange things are likely to erupt!
Zhu Bin couldn't help but be glad that he always insisted on the advanced development strategy is so correct! If he hadn't started research on jet aircraft early, with its long R&D cycle and maturity time, he might have suffered a small loss.
Think about it, if it is confirmed that what we encountered today is the "Ultimate Zero War II" that the Americans helped to improve, or according to the Japanese number a7m2, the maximum flat flight speed exceeds 700 kilometers, there is no shortage of high and low altitude maneuver, the body is strong and equipped with armor, and the cannon solves the problem of ammunition supply. Then it can compete with the second-generation flying shark! If it relies on the terrifying industrial capacity of the United States, it will be very difficult for me to get out thousands of aircraft at a time!
He held his chin and pondered, and immediately felt something was wrong in Chen Shaokuan's eyes. He asked with concern: "Have you encountered any trouble?"
Zhu Bin waved his hand: "Some small accidents have occurred, everything is still under control. Some tricks cannot cause big storms! Let's continue!"
The commander-in-chief nodded. Without further inquiring, he trusted Zhu Bin to handle everything well.
The entire battlefield reconnaissance situation is increasingly gathered in front of Zhu Bin, and the corresponding battle strategy is also corrected and determined.
It can now be determined that the Three Kingdoms coalition forces have made up their minds to take advantage of the empty combat power here, or that after long and careful deployment, they deliberately created an empty state without reinforcements here. Then they went out in full swing and used a strong blow in the name of military exercises. The goal was at least to eliminate the young ocean fleet and occupy Ryukyu. The first batch of fighter jets that had been eliminated before were just appetizers.
The second batch of aircraft have been found in the carrier-based light bombers of Japan and the United States. The number is huge, but it will not exceed the limit of the air defense capabilities of Ryukyu bases. Zhu Bin started out as an air force, so how could he be overturned in this regard!
Then what we have to face next is that after the opponent finds that the ocean-going fleet is sailing alone, he must adjust the attack direction and launch a direct attack on the warship with a number of terrifying fighter jets! As long as the fleet is killed, some island defense forces are not worth mentioning at all!
The air force strike is only the first part, and the naval attack must have taken the opportunity to come. If Zhu Bin deliberately hides, the Three Kingdoms Navy will never have the possibility of catching up. But if the ocean-going fleet avoids war, Ryukyu will definitely lose, so there is no other choice except to fight.
This is exactly the result needed by the Three Kingdoms coalition forces. With their super joint force, I believe that it will definitely be easy to beat up and be foolproof.
So what should Zhu Bin do? A group of old seniors also want to know where his confidence came from when he ordered the fleet to fight in an emergency.
Zhu Bin said a goal that shocked them: "We will annihilate these invading enemies in one fell swoop and completely destroy the Japanese navy! Let the UK have no maritime power protection in the Far East for at least one year, and let the US Pacific Fleet go into the sea to feed the fish! At least a year for us, and then concentrate on killing Japan completely!"
Ruthless! Very cruel! Arrogant! Very arrogant! Just by these three or two new warships, you dare to say a bold statement to annihilate the huge maritime power composed of hundreds of warships. Isn’t this a sleep-talking?!
Except for Chen Shaokuan, the other gentlemen basically don’t understand how strong the current navy is. They just think it’s very powerful from the sensory perspective, but they are not so awesome, right? If a few warships can make the Three Kingdoms coalition forces fall down, wouldn’t that be against the will of heaven!
Zhu Bin stood up with his chest and looked at the world with a strong attitude: "Please wait and see!"
The old gentlemen's consciousness of the fleets that had been dealing with each other for several days before slowly starting to compete for the battle line, and the fighting style of firing artillery against bombardment for a long time has become the old almanac! The current war is rapidly unfolding and fiercely colliding. It is short and the mind is unable to keep up even if it is a little slower!
The second-tier fighter jet formation of the Three Kingdoms coalition forces rushed forward and was killed before they reached the sky above Ryukyu Island. However, the enemy lured the enemy in the middle was slightly better. They used a loose group of formations to make repeated tentative impacts on the "Flying Shark Wall" that had aired missiles from three directions, and then turned around. Once they encountered a pursuit, the enemy's material formation was watching, and the more they fought, the more they were fighting, and this kind of tactics were becoming more and more skillful.
In this way, it is more difficult to get rid of them simply. Undoubtedly, this is also a feasible tactic summarized by the Japanese flying soldiers, that is, do not compete with the Chinese Air Force for technical and experienced firepower, and they must not take advantage of the quantity. Send the best pilots as bait. Take risks and seduce provocations, and then lurk at least two or three times the force, which is obviously a successful move!
It took more than half an hour to finish a game under normal circumstances, but there were almost no shot down numbers here, which was the lowest record since the Sino-Japanese Air War.
Only forty-eight flying sharks were scattered in the airspace of twenty kilometers wide. They formed an arc cordon, and more than one hundred and thirty coalition aircraft were used as bait, and the maneuverable and flexible firepower a7m2 was hunted on the back and forth, fighting back and forth.
This move has made the pressure of the flying shark aircraft group unprecedentedly huge! They have to make the wingmen be alert to the rear at any time and block the enemy aircraft that are attacking. After they have concerns, the effect of the long-distance aircraft chasing them is greatly reduced.
At the same time, the attack aircraft group on the right encountered a jet fighter formation led by Jin Shijie. With its overwhelming advantage, it intercepted dozens of enemy aircraft outside the island airspace. The continuous shooting down scared the coalition aircraft group that was divided into several waves. The two teams of bombers and escort fighters behind turned their heads and left without saying a word! Wait until they die?!
The second echelon's next wave of fighter jets simply turned halfway and would be mixed with the third batch of formations. According to the latest instructions of the fleet, they detoured from the seemingly safe left wing and rushed directly to the oncoming ocean fleet. Their target also changed to directly bombarding and sinking all the main battleships!
But the previous battle report still shocked the generals of the coalition command again! Especially Britain and the United States, which had the first official fight, had to admit that the Japanese have always emphasized that the caution that the Japanese have always emphasized is correct, and the enemy on the other side is indeed cruel and terrifying!
General Kimmel was particularly dissatisfied. His pipe was squeaking, and his fierce eyes were like a wolf who saw the prey. He said angrily: "It's so strange! How could the Chinese have so many inventions? How great is they have national strength! Advanced weapons appear every now and then, which is incredible!"
General Philips said that this is not all your Americans. How did Zhu Bin make his fortune? The whole world knows that Americans sell everything to solve the economic crisis. China's earliest aircraft industry was helped by the United States, Curtis, Douglas, Pratt & Whitney, and Global Aviation. These are all famous aviation giants in the United States, and they created so many headaches at once.
Frowning, it was difficult for British gentlemen to slap in the face in person, but just said in a slight manner: "We have to admit that the Chinese have created that city of light, gathered hundreds of thousands of scientific research talents, and became the engine for their explosive scientific research. It would be great if countries could insist on retaining their own talents at the beginning!"
Natsuki turned his eyelids and thought to himself that you knew you had done something wrong! Who doesn’t know that the most people in the City of Light are scientific researchers from the United States? There are also many in Germany and the United Kingdom. Isn’t it all caused by your own inability to control it? If it was in Japan, those guys were well worshipped, so why did they go out to help others and cause trouble for their own homes!
Japanese people just like to put gold on their faces. In fact, many Japanese researchers who requested to study or work in the City of Light were rejected without exception. The reason is very legitimate. Let’s see what rewards China has received for Japan’s civilization support for thousands of years!
On the contrary, the City of Light has become a holy place for scientific and technological talents who are tired of war and seek sufficient research conditions in the world. In today's world, there is a second organization and individual who can be like Zhu Bin, basically without asking for returns, and spares no expense to provide the top laboratories and enough students and practical environments to give them free to use their imagination? No. None!
The UK is a bit better, at least it has the support and honor of the Royal Research Institution. In the United States, it is purely a consortium and large enterprises that control research and sponsor research. Although the conditions are also very relaxed and sufficient, it is almost unhuman. If you don’t like it, you may leave the house the next day. This is not a basic environment with insecurity and sustainability. It is not without choice. Who is willing to stay there in a worried life?
Of course, these issues are unclear. The generals of the Three Kingdoms did not want to break up. They just wanted to use this to make excuses for the previous losses. If they had listened to the Japanese's advice, why would they have caused such a big loss? Hundreds of planes, that's not a small number!
On the battlefield, avoiding the real and attacking the virtual is the best strategy. If you fight against other people's strengths, the wise will not do it!
"Next, it depends on whether our air attack works! But since the Chinese dare to come forward, we should not be too polite!"
The bilateral battlefield is almost strangely transparent!
Zhu Bin did not deliberately hide his tracks, so the Three Kingdoms coalition easily discovered the existence of the ocean-going fleet. After taking off the third wave of fighter jets, the aircraft carrier formation fell in two and followed slowly, with its own anti-submarine, air defense light patrol, destroyers and submarine protection.
The main fleet. Twelve battleships, the same number of battle patrols and heavy patrols, are also divided into two formations, including two "Yamato-class" super battleships, two of the latest North Carolina-class battleships in the United States, plus the "Omi" and the British "George V". They form the main attack Alpha formation, and take the lead in front of the attack with the overall high speed.
The other six slow-speed US battleships formed the second echelon and surrounded and intercepted from the side, intending to strike head-on when the other party was forced to turn to escape!
The generals believe that even if the Chinese have three heads and six arms, they cannot escape!
The two fleets were four hundred kilometers apart, and the hedging speed reached fifty knots per hour! When the second battle in the sky came to an end, the distance became three hundred kilometers. The third batch of coalition fighters arrived first and rushed to the front of the ocean-going fleet. More than one hundred aircraft were dispersed, and they formed nine or twelve units, and accelerated dives from different altitude airspaces according to their own advantages!
What surprised them was that the ships below did not seem to have escort aircraft groups, and all the fighters were entangled by the total number of 500 fighters set out in front. What they faced was the endless sea surface and the fresh and delicious meal floating on it!
Well, almost all the pilots of Britain and the United States think so. In the past six months, they have piloted the TBF Avenger torpedo bomber produced by Grumman, the most advanced carrier-based bomber in the two countries. They have sunk the "enemy ship" countless times in exercises and combat, with brilliant results! Even in the face of unprecedentedly dense air defense firepower, high-speed fighter dives away their firepower, and they can easily drop bombs and hit them. How refreshing!
Only the Japanese dare not have such an idea. Even on the latest aircraft carriers, all the old slow torpedo aircraft have been cancelled. It can be said that before the torpedo attack distance and aircraft speed have exceeded, the Japanese Navy temporarily gave up the tactics of using unreliable small torpedoes to attack battleships, all seeking death, and no results have been achieved.
Foreigners don’t believe in evil! They don’t believe in death. There are warships in the world that have no omissions in air defense. There are many ants that bite you to death. I have more than one hundred planes to deal with you, but I can’t handle you? Just kidding!
Groups of a7m2 and f4u dived rapidly from a height of three thousand meters, and roared at nearly the maximum speed towards the battleship that was advancing at a speed of 26 knots. In that posture, it seemed that the game eagle was very majestic and domineering!
A lonely light patrol ship was marching five kilometers in front of the formation. The air defense alarm sounded by the entire fleet spread on the sea surface within a radius of 20 kilometers. The 127mm high-level dual-purpose cannon and the 36-barrel 122mm "Iron Curtain" rocket interception system was activated together. A rumbling explosion occurred. The entire warship was submerged in the smoke of the launch. Those who didn't know thought he had self-destructed.
The barrage of the six double-unit anti-aircraft guns was sparse, but they were all aimed at a single target under the traction of the fire-controlled radar. With a burst of explosions, twelve shells exploded in the front nine-machine formation!
However, these Japanese soldiers were all veterans who suffered losses. Not only were they very different from each other, but they were also very well used in three-dimensional spaces up, down, front and back. Each aircraft that detonated shells was injured by fragments. However, with the strengthening of American technology, they did not explode directly in the air. Either the fuselage wings were holes, the engine was smoked, or the cockpit was damaged. They looked at the point where they could not escape, and they accelerated and dived directly, collided with the target warship!
The Rockets' "Iron Curtain" is quite impressive! Two 72-round rockets were sprayed out in one breath, forming a huge funnel-shaped formation, covering the conical airspace with a diameter of one kilometer and exploded together. The fighter jets rolled inside had no power to fight back at all, and were torn apart by tens of thousands of prefabricated fragments and steel balls! Even if they were not hit, the airflow disturbance caused by the large number of explosions was enough to make them lose control!
The six-seater double-tube high-level dual-purpose guns have an orderly change direction, firing, and each group will turn after two rounds. The speed is already extraordinary!
But the crew with Japanese experience came up and took a stick and immediately learned their lesson, leaving two small formations to continue to attract firepower, and the rest rushed from both sides to two super battleships moving side by side!
Chapter completed!
