The Ryutian has a base displacement of 3,230 tons, a total length of 142.65m, a width of 12.3m, a maximum speed of 33 knots, and a range of 5,000 miles when full of fuel. It is equipped with four 14cm 50-caliber main guns, an 8cm anti-aircraft gun, and a 53cm torpedo launcher.

It has six firing tubes and 48 torpedoes. Compared with battleships, large aircraft carriers, and heavy cruisers that weigh more than 10,000 tons, it can only be regarded as a light cruiser. But even so, it is very powerful. A 140mm heavy gun, if thrown on the battlefield,

That's a lot of death.

Unfortunately, Feng Quan's surprise attack caused them to lose their firepower due to bomb explosions before they had time to resist. Feng Quan also wanted to do something big. Remember, Japan sent two aircraft carriers first to see if they could continue their efforts.

On the Ma'an Islands, about 130 kilometers east of Shanghai, Feng Quan contacted a large ship at night, and a team of 100 people arrived here overnight. After hiding the ship, they immediately lurked and searched carefully.

Sure enough, on the morning of January 31, the Japanese aircraft carriers "Kaga" (26,000 tons) and "Hosho" (7,470 tons) arrived carrying about 30 aircraft of the First Air Force. "Damn it! I thought I had to wait all day in vain."

, Aren’t you going to send these planes to drop bombs? How tiring it is. As long as you hang up properly, I will do you a favor and I won’t charge you.”

The two aircraft carriers were very obedient, their speed became slower and slower, and finally stopped. The crew members walked out of the cabin one after another and came to the flight deck. Some skillfully refueled the aircraft, and some deftly attached bombs to the aircraft. "Holy crap! This is

Isn’t it a mobile arsenal? It’s a pity that I won’t let you move it!”

In fact, naval warfare at that time still relied on heavily armored battleships. Aircraft carrier technology was not yet mature, the cost was too high, and the protection was relatively weak. Unlike battleships, some could not be sunk even after being bombed for several days. At that time, early aircraft carriers were not taken seriously.

Blindly reducing costs, many of them are modified ships. Adding armor will inevitably increase the center of gravity and affect combat effectiveness. The tonnage of aircraft carriers in the United Kingdom, Japan and other countries is affected by the treaty, and the surplus is too small, so they are forced to reduce their protective performance in order to carry more aircraft and combat effectiveness.

.

But even so, the aircraft carrier is too big after all, and it is generally difficult to sink it. Because the aircraft carrier adopts a compartment design, it has many cabins. If one is destroyed, the other cabins will still be sealed. It can still float on the sea and become a fortress.

Combat power. How can such a huge warship attack and destroy it? The aircraft carrier is actually a mobile airport on the sea. This feature is the key to determining the method. Carpet bombardment by bombers is one way.

The bombers at that time were not very accurate in delivering bombs, and the bomb dispersion was too large at medium and high altitudes, so they were only suitable for large-scale bombing of key targets by large bombers. Due to their poor maneuverability and vulnerability to attack, they rarely attacked moving targets at sea. The main role of aircraft carriers

The opponent is still a carrier-based dive bomber. Because these aircraft are more powerful than

Generally, carrier-based fighter jets are large in size, so their maneuverability is relatively poor and their speed is relatively slow. For moving targets at sea such as aircraft carriers, in order to ensure hit accuracy, close-range and low-altitude bomb delivery is the main method. Due to the shortcomings of dive bombers' slow speed,

, it is easy to be attacked by fighter jets protecting the aircraft carrier. Therefore, it is generally used

After a certain distance from the aircraft carrier, enter a certain height and then dive towards the aircraft carrier. This can increase the dive speed to avoid being attacked by local fighters. However, although high speed has advantages, the maneuverability is limited. It is not easy to force some actions during this period and it will cause

lost control or broke up, so when the dive bomber entered

After the dive route, the flight path is almost fixed and can be predicted completely. At this time, the low-speed aircraft carrier is more maneuverable than the aircraft. By doing some evasive actions, you can avoid the aircraft's bombing route and dive.

The bombers may return in vain, and it is inevitable that the bombers will not hit any bombs even if they drop many bombs.

"During the Vietnam War, it took a lot of effort for the United States to blow up a bridge." The aircraft carrier is much larger than the bridge, but because it is always moving, it is difficult to blow it up and sink it.

The hit rate of aircraft bombs in World War II was 13, and many of the results were achieved by experienced pilots. Therefore, the perverted Japanese army envisioned the Kamikaze Agent Team to make the bomb hit rate almost 100%. One aircraft was replaced with one ship, and the Japanese

I'm happy to do this, the Japanese are pretty mean anyway.

Bombers are interfered by aircraft carriers and escort ships' anti-aircraft guns and fighter planes, making it difficult to enter the best angle for bombing. Moreover, the lead time for bombing must be estimated based on the speed of the aircraft, which requires experience and long-term practice. During World War II, the air defense of the aircraft carrier fleet mainly relied on ships

Along with the aircraft, there are also anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns of itself and the escort formation.

It is much better to use torpedoes to bomb aircraft carriers than to use aircraft, but it is also difficult to sink aircraft carriers. People can just stick their butts out and get away.

Bombing and sinking an aircraft carrier mainly depends on luck and hitting the key positions. Of course, it is best to put the bomb into the chimney to save time and effort. Although the Japanese are perverted, their ideas and vision are sometimes used in the right place. This chimney is really well designed.

It is worth using on modern battleships as it can reduce the chance of being hit directly.

The location of the chimney has always been a problem in the history of aircraft carrier design. As for the design of the earliest aircraft carriers, due to the all-flat deck and no island above the flight deck, it is really troublesome where to place the chimney. If the chimney is not properly designed, the smoke will be exhausted.

It may heavily cover the flight deck, making it impossible to take off and land aircraft.

The Japanese took two major measures to solve this problem. First, they set the chimney on the side of the ship and bent it downward, and used a seawater cooling pipe design on the chimney to reduce the smoke generation rate. This design was implemented in Akagi, Kaga,

It can be seen on the Canglong class, Feilong class, Xianghe class and Yunlong class.

Seeing that Little Japan had just refueled the plane and loaded it with bombs, Feng Quan raised his hand and waved it down suddenly. Zhu Yuan's friends, who had already planned to shoot, fired, "Whoosh..." Most of the shells fell.

On the flight decks of the two aircraft carriers, "bang, bang, bang..." Feng Quan used high-explosive bombs this time, and the high-explosive bombs exploded one after another.

Hearing the explosion of the mortar, Little Japan was killed and injured, and its limbs and arms shot up into the sky and fell down again. The Japanese army was shocked and quickly started the sprinkler device, hoping to contain the incoming fire and eventually put out the fire.

, desperately trying to take the bomb off the plane, but to no avail

The chain explosion of bombs and gasoline made the disaster worse. The leakage of aviation gasoline and the gradual spread of gasoline vapor caused a big explosion. The plane that had not yet taken off was easily blown away by its own bomb, and the bomb also destroyed the flight.

Explosions were heard from time to time on the decks and inside the two giant ships.

Hundreds of shells hit the Shokaku and Kaga, causing fires on their flight decks due to fuel leaks. The fire dragon, which could not be extinguished, rushed into the cabin and also caused a fire in the clothing storage room. Because this location is close to gasoline storage

chambers and ammunition depots. Although the shells missed the target far away, the bombing was blind. However, due to fuel leakage, explosions suddenly occurred inside the two ships, causing fires that spread rapidly and became uncontrollable.

Some shells fell into the sea, and water columns immediately rose to the sky. Within a few minutes, the two aircraft carriers were blown into two pieces and slowly sank into the water. The seawater condensed into a huge whirlpool, sucking the broken bodies and parts of the ship into the seabed.

.

The victory or defeat was decided before the guns of the two aircraft carriers fired a single shot. "Damn it! The scene is so spectacular, this is a live broadcast. It's time to deal with those armies. Isn't your little Japanese navy known as the invincible in the world? Why still?
