Chapter five hundred and seventieth special attack tactics
The outstanding performance of Qi Minghao's missile speedboat is an unexpected surprise so far in the decisive battle. The senior officials of the headquarters will not talk about it. They may not even know what missiles are, so naturally they will not favor the unit. That is Chen Shichang
There are also professionals like De Gu, who did not have much expectations for the missile speedboat unit because of its previous test-firing results. The more so, the performance of the missile speedboat unit will be more surprising and eye-catching.
The feeling. Each Swordfish missile speedboat has a base of six Poseidon ship-to-ship missiles, two 37-mm caliber cannons, and several machine guns. Such armaments are suitable for a naval battle of this level.
, which means that once all the Poseidon ship-to-ship missiles are launched, they will have nothing to do with them. Fortunately, the supply fleet has a lot of missiles in reserve, so Chen Shichang, who had not decided to reuse the missile boat force, saw the sharpness of the ministry.
After that, the supply fleet was immediately ordered to send several ships to supply Qi Minghao's troops. Naval battles involve too many related factors. Of course, giant ships, artillery and naval forces are the most important. In addition, the supply technology of warships is also indispensable.
.In this regard, although the Pacific Fleet is a rising star, it relies on technological progress to firmly beat the other navies of the same era. Take Qi Minghao's supply as an example, because the supply ships are all equipped with
There are high-power cranes, and they are also supplemented by guide rails and oil transfer platforms specially used for filling missiles, so Qi Minghao's department only took one and a half hours to complete the replenishment. The missile speedboat unit that replenished the Poseidon ship-to-ship missiles was immediately replenished.
They turned into a pack of wolves on the sea. When Chen Shichang came to order, Qi Minghao and Xu Kai generously agreed and immediately led their ships to gallop towards the main battlefield.
In this decisive battle, because the main battleships of both sides were equipped with sea defense and air defense radars, and reconnaissance aircraft were invested at all costs, neither Chen Shichang nor Nagumo Chuichi had many tactical options. For example, Chen Shichang spent all his efforts
In the end, they only came up with the idea of ambushing submarines and missile boats near Deyanna Island; another example is Nagumo Chuichi. Originally, his unit was divided into several teams according to functions: alert, mobile, main force, etc. The battle line was spread out over a wide area, but after discovering
After imitating the main force of the Pacific Fleet, they immediately assembled all the ships, and in the end only one raiding fleet was allowed to leave the main fleet. The special geography of the decisive battle sea area, as well as the importance of the battle, made both sides dare not take it lightly. From the beginning,
Gather all the troops. This is what is meant by completing the battle in one battle. As for Nagumo Chuichi, because in addition to the Yamato aircraft carrier fleet, there are also the Wuwei and Takeku aircraft carrier fleets, then even if the battle is defeated, as long as it can be consumed
If Xu Pacific Fleet has certain strength, he will have no regrets even if he commits seppuku.
All the naval forces of both sides took to the air, and the air battle situation that had become increasingly clear suddenly fell into chaos again. When Kinoshita Keygi replied to Chuichi Nagumo, he only said that as a last resort, dive bombing and torpedo planes could be carried out by the squadron and the torpedo plane squadron.
In fact, when he ordered all dive bombing and torpedo plane battles to take off, he gave strict orders to the flight captains, requiring them to curb the Chinese air superiority at all costs. Isoroku Yamamoto in Hangzhou
Special attack tactics were used over the bay to thwart the raid of the Gakuin Army's air fortress cluster against the combined fleet. When Kinoshita Keygi heard the news at first, he was actually disapproving of it. As a senior officer of the naval aviation force, he thought that the value of pilots was far greater than
As for the value of fighter planes, special attack tactics are not worth the gain. With Japan's current military aircraft industry, three or four fighter planes can be taken off every day. However, the training of pilots cannot be achieved in a short time. So, let those with rich combat experience
It was too wasteful for pilots to implement suicide tactics. However, now, after seeing the sharpness of the naval aviation force of the Xuebing Army, he had to resort to this magic weapon. For him, this in itself is a great deal.
Irony. As he said after issuing the order: "Gentlemen, I actually don't want to do this. But you have seen that the performance of our fighter planes is far inferior to that of the Chinese, and our 50th special attack aircraft is the most capable of penetrating defenses.
Now he has not been able to rush to the battlefield (Nagumo Chuichi considered the factor of morale and did not disclose the news that the raid fleet was severely damaged, so now only a few low-level officers of the Yamato aircraft carrier fleet know the news, so Kinoshita is like this
Said). Gentlemen! I don’t need to elaborate on the significance of this battle. We, the emperor, have received the grace of His Majesty the Emperor in this life. Now is the time for us to dedicate ourselves to His Majesty the Emperor, even if we risk our lives!"
Both sides had specialized reconnaissance forces patrolling around the air battle. Soon, both sides received reports that the other side had dispatched bombers and torpedo planes. At this time, another performance advantage of the Tiger Shark and the Chinese Sturgeon was highlighted.
.The various self-defense weapons of the Japanese army are all aircraft machine guns, but a considerable number of the Tiger Sharks and Chinese Sturgeons of the Xuebing Army are equipped with 20 mm caliber machine guns. First of all, and secondly,
The tiger shark and the Chinese sturgeon, which were born out of the white-tip dolphin, have armor protection capabilities that are only slightly inferior to that of the white-tip dolphin. In other words, their anti-strike capabilities are much stronger than the various types of naval bombardment of the Japanese army. Adding the two items together, although both sides were almost at the same time
Bombers and torpedo planes were dispatched, but in fact they failed to change the pattern of air combat.
When Kinoshita Keygi gave the orders to the dive bombing and torpedo plane teams to implement special attack tactics, he still hesitated. After all, using bombers and torpedo planes for suicide attacks is the best way to achieve the best outcome of dying together with enemy fighters.
But it means that the threat of the naval aviation force to enemy ships has been greatly weakened. It is tantamount to using one's own shortcomings to attack the other's strong points, which is a relatively stupid tactic. However, after the bombers and torpedo planes of both sides entered the battlefield, he instead suppressed
Well, fortunately, fortunately, he gave the order to implement special attack tactics, otherwise, our bombers and torpedo planes would have perished waiting for them to take off.
There was an intersection between bombers from both sides in Kinoshita's field of vision. Kinoshita clearly saw that his bomber hit the other side's Tiger Shark first, but the other side's Tiger Shark only emitted a string of fire from the hit area, and then continued flying as if nothing had happened and fought back.
, the bombers on both sides immediately caught fire, and he realized that not only were the Chinese fighter planes rough-skinned but also the bombers and torpedo planes were also thick-skinned. Then after calculating the progress factors, the bombers and torpedo planes of both sides were not at the same level at all.
If your firepower is not as good as others, your protection capabilities are not as good as others, and your speed is not as good as others, you can only be beaten passively. Fortunately, there are special attack tactics. The officers and soldiers of the naval aviation force who learned from the Pacific Fleet obviously did not expect that the Japanese bombers and torpedo planes would implement them as soon as they arrived.
This kind of tactic, so I was completely unable to adapt to it at first. In the rush, several of them were hit by surprise, and then both of them were broken, somersaulted and fell from the sky.
