The real role of the first thousand and ninety-eight chapters of the stand-alone raid
Jin wanted to know the number of incoming enemy planes immediately because he did not believe that the Japanese army had the ability to launch large-scale air strikes at this time and place.
Jin's guess was correct, because the scale of the air raid this time was indeed very small, as small as only one enemy plane.
The person who launched the air strike was none other than Murakami Kenji, who was on a reconnaissance mission. One thing I have to admit is that although Koizumi Toshiichiro is far inferior to Ouyang Yun, his fellow time traveler, in terms of technological development, economic construction and even troop management, He is far superior to Ouyang Yun in his grasp of people's hearts. Of course, this is also related to the nature of the Japanese. Therefore, the special attack tactics that were originally intended to lead to death were understood by the Japanese as holy war, and they were not afraid of death. Sign up to participate.
There is no doubt that Murakami has been successfully brainwashed by Koizumi, and the scene just played on the beach in Port Vila was too exciting. Murakami attaches great importance to national honor and feels despised by the Americans, so he He wanted to give the Americans a big surprise by launching his own special attack.
The nearest target was about five kilometers away when it was discovered by the Americans. Murakami was not panicked. Thanks to Ouyang Yun, at this time, radar had become a popular military equipment, but so what if it was discovered. , an air attack on a U.S. warship under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of Americans only made Murakami more excited and felt even more sacred.
"There is only one enemy plane." On the radar screen in front of him, the single white light and shadow was really conspicuous, and Jin said a little dissatisfied.
The radar soldier George next to him had sweat on his forehead. He sounded the alarm when he spotted an enemy plane. This was indeed a bit of a fuss. Fortunately, Jin had given an order before. He murmured: "General, I'm worried that there are still people below. I have a date."
Due to technical limitations, air defense radars in this era cannot scan air defenses in all directions. If the incoming enemy aircraft keeps flying at an ultra-low altitude, it can completely break through the radar surveillance. But then again, because it is night, and must Maintaining ultra-low-altitude flight hundreds of kilometers away, with the current level of fighter aircraft technology, no pilot from any country can do it. This is the main reason why Kim does not believe that he will be attacked by large-scale air strikes.
Jin thought for a while, looked at George and said: "It is right to be cautious, but if there is a similar situation, you can report it to your superior first."
George quickly lowered his head and made a gesture of acceptance.
"Order the air defense troops to take it down." Jin said to Cole, who was standing next to him.
"Yes, General." Cole responded and walked out.
With the scale of the U.S. Pacific Fleet's anti-aircraft firepower, to deal with a single incoming enemy plane, it can be said that it is effortless to use a cannon to kill mosquitoes, so after giving the order, Jin no longer worried about it, but when he walked out of the radar room When he saw the scene, Arrangement Why was frightened and then turned back. Then he stood in front of the radar monitor screen and looked at it for a few seconds. He couldn't find the source of the panic. Jin closed his eyes and began to wonder if he had overlooked something.
Murakami was named to perform the reconnaissance mission because of Shota Sasaki. By chance, Shota Sasaki praised him in front of everyone after riding on his Type 99 ship bomber. After becoming a celebrity, he began to be taken care of everywhere. It was precisely because of Sasaki's praise that Murakami became confident, so he launched this unruly single-player raid.
Murakami did not disappoint Sasaki. Although he was exposed by the U.S. military's anti-aircraft searchlights early on, when he was only two kilometers away from the nearest target, he braved the intensive anti-aircraft fire to make a move. He performed a beautiful roll maneuver and suddenly disappeared from the light of numerous anti-terrorism searchlights of the US military.
Compared with the huge U.S. Pacific Fleet, Port Vila is too small to berth all the ships, so in addition to having the fleet's aircraft carriers stay as close to the dock as possible, King ordered other ships including heavy cruisers. They were all anchored in the anchorage near the dock. Of course Jin was not wrong in doing so. Those destroyers, light cruisers, heavy cruisers and escort carriers were originally escort ships for the fleet aircraft carrier. In this way, these ships surrounded the fleet aircraft carrier. , it can protect the fleet aircraft carrier from threats from the sea and the air to the greatest extent, and build a peripheral protection line for the fleet aircraft carrier.
As an improved version of the 50th Special Attack Plane, the biggest change of the 50-Six Special Attack Plane is its enhanced maneuverability, which is why Murakami dared to launch a single-plane raid and had the capital to play cat-and-mouse with the U.S. Navy.
He first flew his plane and dived towards the light cruiser closest to him, in order to confuse the sight of the American sailors and give him a chance to get close to the US battleship group.
Yes, Murakami has a huge appetite. He has no regard for destroyers and light cruisers with a displacement of one to two thousand tons or even four to five thousand tons. The target he has set for himself is at least a heavy cruiser with a displacement of about 10,000 tons. , and if possible, he hopes to surprise the American fleet aircraft carrier.
It seems that Murakami's appetite is not small anymore, and what he and Jin don't know is that compared with what happened a quarter of an hour later, even if Murakami was able to sink a U.S. fleet aircraft carrier, it would not be as real as his single-aircraft raid. one-tenth of its value.
It is said that after that night, when the explosions on the battlefield finally stopped, Jin slapped himself hard. This slap was definitely not unjust, and he clearly had a bad premonition in his heart. But they didn't take it seriously. Then again, the Americans had suffered losses from Japanese special attack torpedoes and special attack submarines more than once or twice. Why didn't Kim have a long memory?
Yes, it was precisely because Murakami's single-plane raid attracted the attention of the Americans that Sasaki's remote-controlled Japanese special attack torpedoes and submarine units were able to approach the U.S. Pacific Fleet and launch a successful raid.
In the end, Murakami was not able to hit a fleet aircraft carrier or even a heavy cruiser as originally imagined. However, because he delayed it for enough time, it even made the officers and soldiers of the U.S. Pacific Fleet become impetuous. Therefore, he The achievements he made were comparable to sinking a fleet aircraft carrier.
Even Jin couldn't hold back his anger at the last moment of the cat-and-mouse play. On the one hand, he was cruel to the Japanese and cunning, but on the other hand, he hated his subordinates for failing to live up to expectations, so he personally used the microphone to shout and direct the battle.
When Murakami and his aircraft finally crashed into pieces on the deck of a light cruiser, and almost completely destroyed the front half of the light cruiser, Jin let out a breath of bad breath and his mood finally improved, and just as he When he was about to say a few words to boost morale, the sea warning siren sounded. He was startled for a moment, then looked at the dark sea ahead, and his face suddenly turned black.
