Chapter 566: Coral Sea Aircraft Carrier Battle Ten
After the aircraft carrier battle ended during the day, the two Typhoon-class strategic submarines that had rushed to the combat waters and were on standby, escorted by more than a dozen conventional attack submarines, began to search for the Japanese-U.S. coalition fleet. Although at night, Japan and the United States had already
Most of the communication secrets were changed, but this assault formation still found the Japanese-US coalition formation group. The Far East submariners were constantly analyzing which tonnage-level warships were on the water through the feedback from the reconnaissance instruments, and classified them
Record the coordinates one by one.
Time passed by unknowingly like this. At this moment, the radar soldier of the Himalayan Typhoon-class strategic submarine suddenly found a huge bright spot on the instrument panel. He immediately opened the lid next to him with trembling hands.
data meter, and began to carefully calculate the data of Fang Jian's ship. Soon he called the captain in a very low voice. After hearing Geng Zhi's report, the captain of the Himalaya, Zhang Guozhu, was so excited that he almost wanted to roar.
, because after searching hard for more than five hours, I finally found it.
It is neither a human nor a monster, but the USS Yorktown, a medium-sized aircraft carrier.
"Signal Corps!"
"arrive!"
Whispering to the communications soldiers on the side, Zhang Guozhu immediately ordered: "Immediately inform the Hulun Buir of our coordinates, tell them that the last shark has been found, and ask them to come over immediately!".
"yes!"
Just as the communications soldier turned around to leave, Zhang Guozhu picked up the ship's intercom with an excited hand, then pressed the red communication button and ordered in a low voice: "In the torpedo cabin, I will install torpedo tubes No. 1 to 4 equipped with radars.
The guided A-05 large torpedo is ready to attack at any time!".
The next second, a response came from the other end of the intercom: "Captain! We are only equipped with four A-05 large torpedoes for this trip to sea. It would be a pity to use them all at once! I still have
I want to use them to kill a few Japanese heavy cruisers!".
"Shut up, Guawazi! You know what the heck, the 8,000-ton heavy cruiser of the little devil is nothing! What we are going to do this time is a 50,000-ton medium-sized aircraft carrier! One of them can hold up to 6 heavy cruisers!
Captain Zhang Guozhu cursed angrily and anxiously.
The other end of the intercom immediately fell silent. It seemed that he was reflecting on himself. It turned out that the 8,000-ton heavy cruiser was really a bit petty, but looking at the new torpedoes that were like his own children, in the end the torpedo room squad leader was still
Gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, he and other soldiers in the torpedo room loaded all four radar-guided torpedoes into the launch tubes.
The current Far East Army has long been equipped with a large number of radar equipment, and has begun to make in-depth and comprehensive use of this electromagnetic wave detection equipment. Radar is a kind of electromagnetic wave that emits electromagnetic waves, illuminates the target direction, and finally receives the echoes emitted, thus obtaining
The distance from the target to the electromagnetic wave emission point and the distance change rate can be used to obtain important information such as the target's speed, orientation, height, width, etc.
Therefore, the huge role played by radar is like people using their eyes and ears during the day. Of course, it is not a masterpiece of nature, but invented by people through the accumulation of knowledge, regardless of whether it is visible light or
They are radio waves, which are essentially electromagnetic waves. The difference lies in their respective frequencies and wavelengths. The transmitter of the radar equipment emits electromagnetic wave energy to a certain direction in space through the antenna, and objects in this direction reflect the electromagnetic waves encountered.
The radar antenna receives this reflected wave and sends it to the receiving device for processing to extract certain information about the object.
As one of the most important weapons of the Far East Army, the Typhoon-class strategic submarine is naturally equipped with the latest radar and is also equipped with radar-guided torpedoes. However, because the production of this weapon has not yet gone into large quantities, limited supply has been adopted.
Therefore, after discovering the target, the Himalayan Typhoon-class strategic submarine immediately lurked, while using radar to measure the most accurate distance, constantly measuring the time difference between the transmitted pulse and the echo pulse, and based on this, the precise distance was calculated. Only waiting for the Hulun Buir
After arriving, they launch an attack on the target together.
At this time, on the USS Yorktown, a medium-sized aircraft carrier, the senior leaders of the Japanese-American coalition were having a fierce argument. The continuous battle losses made the commanders of both sides red-eyed. Japan mainly blamed the United States.
The navy failed to cooperate well, while the Americans angrily called Japan a pig.
Because if their code had not been cracked, the Battle of the Coral Sea would not have been so miserably lost. However, the little devil refused to admit that his code was cracked, and finally said that it was the Americans who had been cracked by the Far East Legion.
.
In short, the two sides were arguing endlessly, and even the soldiers on duty outside the conference room could hear clearly. After this incident came out, Li Donghua, commander of the North American Theater of the Far East Army, laughed wildly, because if they hadn't had a big fight during the meeting
, and it was impossible to give the Far East Army such a good opportunity as it did at that time.
Because later, the Hulunbuir, which arrived in nearby waters, joined forces with the Himalaya to attack the USS Yorktown medium-sized aircraft carrier, and finally eliminated the entire senior command of the Japanese-US coalition forces at once.
After the incident, the only survivor of the USS Yorktown medium aircraft carrier, Captain Taylor of the US Navy, said in his first recollection: "At that time, I was on duty in the command room, and suddenly I heard two loud noises.
Looking into the distance, I immediately discovered that about fifty to one hundred feet from the port side of the mothership, from the waterline to the flight deck, it was a sea of fire. However, the loud noise did not stop after that, and the Far East Navy launched a full
The attack lasted for fifteen minutes, and after the attack stopped, that was the last time I saw the aircraft carrier. The fire was so intense that it almost lost its balance and suffered very serious damage. It didn't take long in the end.
It sank."
In this way, in the Battle of the Coral Sea, after the USS Yorktown medium-sized aircraft carrier sank, the Japanese-American coalition was disintegrated. The remaining three aircraft carriers of the Far East Navy's East China Aircraft Carrier Battle Group continued to pursue the enemy all the way to the east coast of the United States.
The Far East Navy just began to retreat. The entire naval battle lasted 23 days. This naval battle fully demonstrated that the navy of the twentieth century will no longer be an era of giant ships and cannons, but a new maritime era in which multiple arms cooperate with each other.
In this battle, it can be said that both sides gained nothing, but lost a lot. However, invisibly, the Far East Army has begun to establish a certain voice in the Pacific region, and the pain this naval battle brought to the Americans is
It had a more profound impact than the Midway outbreak eleven years later.
