Chapter 386 Min 01 and Fifty Special Attack Machines
Koizumi does not recommend dispatching the combined fleet, but that does not mean that he will watch the Pacific Fleet of the Academy of Military Affairs calmly enter the coast of the Philippines and do nothing. Although the Western Expedition Fleet in his hands was severely damaged in the early battles, After adding more than ten ships newly launched by the Singapore Shipyard, they were still a force that cannot be underestimated. He decided to conduct a tentative attack on the Pacific Fleet to see what its combat power was. If the Pacific Fleet It is really just a super toy of Ouyang Yun, so he doesn't mind breaking it by himself. If the test results are opposite, then he will just take the opportunity to obtain first-hand information and accumulate intelligence for the combined fleet's future combat operations.
When Koizumi first traveled through time, his biggest dream was to become the commander of the Combined Fleet, lead the Imperial Navy to defeat the United States, defeat England, and build the Combined Fleet into the strongest armada in the world. The dream is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Yes, in his destiny, God had arranged for him Ouyang Yun as his enemy early on. In his first battle, Ouyang Yun only sent out his former guard commander, but he actually defeated him and returned home. , almost ended his military career. The Battle of the Philippines was a big blow to Koizumi, which made him see clearly his abilities. However, he did not admit defeat. Not only did he not admit defeat, he also started a comeback plan that was hard-working and courageous. If you are not good at commanding, then you should find more people who have commanding ability and use them for your own use. If you have a weak concept of the overall situation, then you should reminisce more about history and learn from the major events that happened in that time and space before deciding what to do next.
In that time and space, the reason why the Combined Fleet was defeated again and again in the confrontation with the U.S. Pacific Fleet was for three fundamental reasons. First, the Japanese were still obsessed with strong ships and powerful guns, and ignored the role of aircraft carriers. Strategically, Secondly, the Japanese navy's command system was rigid, its tactics were outdated, and its senior commanders had insufficient tactical literacy; finally, Japan clearly had the most advanced submarine force in the world at the time, but its submarine tactics were extremely backward, which made the submarine force unable to Play its due role. The failure of the Battle of the Philippines cost Koizumi the opportunity to join the Combined Fleet. Koizumi is not discouraged. If the aircraft carrier fleet cannot be commanded, then he should specialize in submarine tactics. Submarines, in that time and space, do not have Will China's aircraft carriers soon rely on it to support the long coastal defense line? In this time and space, anti-submarine technology is still relatively backward. Japan's submarine manufacturing technology is already ahead of the world. If I borrow some golden fingers appropriately, I can build a submarine that far exceeds the world level. , is it possible to make a comeback with this humble submarine? Xiaoquan had this idea in his mind, and his work focus gradually shifted to the transformation of Iraqi-style submarines.
After half a year, Koizumi successfully designed a new submarine named Min-01 based on the Yi-400. The main size of this submarine is similar to that of the Yi-400, but its appearance is similar to the Song-class submarine of the Xuebing Army, and Its underwater displacement reached an astonishing 8,431 tons, and the cabin volume was increased, which was used by Koizumi to load fighter aircraft. The standard configuration of the Yi-400 carrier-based aircraft is three Seiran attack aircraft, while the Min-01 is equipped with three Seiran attack aircraft. In addition to the Lan attack aircraft, four more "Fifty Special Attack Aircraft" were added.
"Fifty Special Attack Plane" is another one of Koizumi's favorite works. It is said to be a "Special Attack Plane". To be precise, it should be a man-controlled missile. The inspiration for this type of weapon was obtained by Koizumi from Yamamoto Isogyo. 6. The suicide tactic invented in the Hangzhou Bay air battle. As a time traveler, it is impossible for Koizumi not to know about missiles. Not long ago, news came out from the European battlefield that Germany used missiles to change the outcome of the Battle of Britain, so that the British had to give up. The mainland retreated to the Far East, and intelligence showed that the Xuebing Army had also manufactured missiles. This greatly stimulated Koizumi. Japan's electronics industry was backward. For radars with the same performance, the ones manufactured by Japan were actually better than those of the Xuebing Army. About twice as much. The backwardness of the electronics industry has also limited Koizumi's ambition to develop missiles. Guidance technology cannot keep up, so manufacturing missiles is just a cloud. Missiles are the mainstream weapons in future wars. With the trend of popularization of early warning radars, there is a difference between those who have them and those who don't. It will directly determine that one side can carry out precise strikes beyond visual range, while the other side can only be beaten passively, and has already failed before even finding traces of the enemy. Out of practical needs, Yamamoto happened to give Koizumi inspiration, plus that Time and Space Japan had produced the same type of "special attack aircraft" used to implement suicide tactics, so he came up with the idea of manufacturing man-controlled missiles. The "Fifty Special Attack Aircraft" was his first aircraft to implement this idea. It is a product. The biggest difference between the "Fifty Special Attack Aircraft" and a fighter jet is its short range and fast speed. Its top speed is comparable to the Golden Eagle of the U.S. Army. Of course, because it does not have a matching engine, in order to pursue speed, the "Fifty Special Attack Aircraft" "Special attack aircraft" can only be realized by sacrificing the necessary instruments and weapons of a fighter plane. If you want to call it a fighter plane, it is because it almost maintains the shape of a fighter plane, except that the wings have become shorter and the fuselage is round. It doesn't slip much, so it seems more appropriate to say it is a man-controlled missile.
The Western Expedition Fleet is currently equipped with three Min-01 submarines. These three submarines are Koizumi's darlings. He is reluctant to take them out except under special circumstances. This time, in order to test the Pacific Fleet of the Xuebing Army, he used Two ships, coupled with two heavy cruisers and several auxiliary ships, formed a fleet of more than twenty ships.
The fleet was commanded by a naval officer named Kobayashi Morikawa who was personally recruited by Koizumi. After the Japanese army in New Guinea sent back information, reporting that the Pacific Fleet of the Japanese Army had crossed the Banda Sea and entered the Maluku Sea, it had already been waiting on the west coast of the Sulu Sea. Morikawa led the fleet to quietly enter the Celebes Sea, and then headed towards the Grand Island of Mindanao along the island group at the boundary between the Sulu Sea and the Celebes Sea.
After Koizumi determined the purpose of entering the Southeast Asian waters (for the convenience of distinction, the Pacific Fleet of the Gakuin Army will be named the Pacific Fleet from now on, and the Pacific Fleet of the United States will be called the U.S. Pacific Fleet), he repeatedly inspected the waters around Mindanao. map, and finally determined that the Academy would dock at Gran to implement the retreat. His speculation was echoed by Morikawa and others. Morikawa further suggested launching an attack while the Academy Pacific Fleet was receiving ground troops to board the ship, so that even if the Academy Pacific Fleet The combat effectiveness far exceeds their expectations, and they will also be timid because of the need to protect the ground troops. This can ensure the safety of the raiding fleet to the greatest extent and prevent the exploratory attack from developing into a head-to-head battle.
The Western Expedition Fleet was the foundation for Koizumi to return to the Combined Fleet. Naturally, Koizumi did not want anything to happen to it, so he agreed with Morikawa's suggestion.
May 13th was later known as the Founding Day of the Pacific Fleet. This day is destined to be remembered by future generations of Chinese navy people, because it was on this day that the young Chinese Navy began to emerge in the world, and the name of the Pacific Fleet began to be used. Spread around the world, learn from the Pacific Fleet. This young ocean-going naval fleet, once ridiculed by naval powers such as the United States, Japan, and the United Kingdom, has proven its worth with practical actions. The naval athletes who learn from the Pacific Fleet may be the best in the world. He is the youngest naval officer in the army, but he is by no means a so-called layman.
The commander of the Pacific Fleet was Chen Shichang. At around 10:30 in the morning, when he saw that Mindanao could be seen through a high-power telescope, Chen Shichang, who had been sticking to his fighting position, finally relaxed. He opened his mouth and gently spit out the contents of his chest. A breath of turbidity,
Three aircraft carriers, two battleships, fourteen cruisers, twenty-one destroyers, and two frigates (Note: During World War II, the concepts between destroyers and frigates were sometimes confused. It was not until missiles became conventional weapons that frigates eliminated destroyers and became An independent standing ship type), fifteen submarines, six supply ships, twenty-one troop carriers, and three mine clearing boats. They imitated the Pacific Fleet and just stayed still. The moment they moved, the whole world was shocked. When they sailed from the sea off Australia When they passed by, American and Australian officers and soldiers on American patrol boats and reconnaissance planes saw them, and many of them were almost shocked, because they couldn't figure out when such a large naval force suddenly appeared in the Indian Ocean. They do not understand the efforts made by the military trainees to develop the ocean-going navy. In their minds, the trainees from the Pacific Fleet are like magic soldiers descended from heaven.
The flagship of the Pacific Fleet is the Huangdi aircraft carrier. At this moment, Chen Shichang is standing in the cab of the Huangdi aircraft carrier. "Put the reconnaissance distance farther and strengthen the anti-submarine detection. Commander Guo has not received any new telegrams. If so, please give it to me immediately." I'll send it over." Chen Shichang took the microphone and issued a series of orders through his mouth.
The Philippine coast is densely covered with islands and the sea conditions are complex, which greatly reduces the effectiveness of coastal defense radar. The coastal defense radar equipped on the Huangdi has an effective monitoring distance of about 100 kilometers. This monitoring distance is enough to provide coastal defense warning for the fleet. However, considering that the densely populated islands can provide cover for ships, Chen Shichang is more willing to trust the eyes of HNA soldiers.
Complex sea conditions have also made it more difficult for sonar troops to monitor enemy submarines. Although the sonar troops of the Pacific Fleet have made great progress with the help of training from the French, this has not changed their inherent weaknesses. , That is the lack of actual combat. The lack of actual combat makes it impossible for them to know the characteristics of the sonar signals of enemy submarines, and they cannot quickly find out which danger signals are from the complicated underwater sounds.
Fortunately, both Ouyang Yun and Chen Shichang knew this, and the Xuebing R&D Institute also worked hard and developed a helicopter that can tow sonar. With the help of these anti-submarine helicopters, Chen Shichang was able to expand the anti-submarine detection range, thereby avoiding Being caught off guard by the Japanese raiding fleet,
Koizumi and Morikawa didn't know this, so their so-called raid turned into a strong attack from the beginning, which doomed their failure.
