Chapter five hundred and seventy-two full-scale fierce battle
Chen Shichang's order was passed on, and soon, except for the three submarines accompanying the submarine to guard the Wuwei aircraft carrier fleet, the seventeen frigates all protruded from their respective aircraft carrier fleets. Then, under the command of Zhang Pengsheng, Li Zhuoqi, and Fu Tao, the main force
The front of the fleet formed three clusters and faced the Japanese fleet that was approaching fiercely. After the frigates, twenty-five heavy cruisers also protruded from their respective aircraft carrier fleets and set up a formation to greet them. And behind the battleships
One hundred kilometers northeast of the group, Qi Minghao's Swordfish missile boat force was in front, and Xu Kai's submarine force was behind. They turned their horsepower to maximum and ran towards the battlefield.
Zhang Pengsheng, Li Zhuoqi, Fu Tao, and the captains of other frigates are all naval officers trained by the Xuebing Army. There are a large number of Frenchmen in the captaincy of heavy cruisers. Of course, these Frenchmen are
They have withstood the test and were promoted with Ouyang Yun's approval. They may not be as willing to sacrifice their lives as the captains trained by the Xuebing Army themselves, but there is no problem with their loyalty. The heavy patrol force is the absolute main force of the fleet after the aircraft carrier.
, although in the presence of aircraft carriers, their role is limited. However, once the competition between naval and aviation forces reaches a deadlock, they will definitely be the ones to open up the situation.
The air battle at this time had expanded from the initial airspace to above the vanguard forces and subsequent attack forces of both sides. Although most of the bombers and torpedo planes from both sides that participated in the battle were intercepted by the enemy, there were still some
Many blockade breakers appeared above the enemy fleet. Therefore, during the assembly process, whether it was frigates or heavy cruisers, they would organize anti-aircraft firepower to intercept them depending on the situation. In the sky, there was the roar of fighter jet engines and the bombardment of machine guns.
The sound, the explosion after the fighter plane was hit; the sound of gunfire and gunfire filled the sea at sea... Various sounds were mixed together, and artillery shells hit the sea surface and stirred up giant langs tens of meters high. It was like a scene of the end of the war.
Bian Jingdao's Beijing Mobile Fleet and the Japanese Third Mobile Fleet were the first to exchange fire. Half an hour ago, the command had defeated the Third Mobile Fleet. There is still a big gap between battleships and heavy cruisers.
Not to mention the Richelieu-class battleships, which are famous for their armor protection capabilities. During the close range bombardment, the Japanese heavy cruiser was only hit four times by the main gun of the battleship Beijing, and its main gun ammunition depot exploded.
Then it was broken into two pieces. On the other hand, although the Beijing was fired more than ten times, in addition to the death of more than ten cadets, the main gun and the hull were not seriously damaged. After winning the first battle, the morale of Bian Jingdao and his officers and men was high.
And just when they were about to make persistent efforts to engage in a firefight with the oncoming Japanese second battleship fleet, the Japanese naval aviation force noticed the big guy Beijing, and under the command of a captain named Murakami Hashi, organized two teams of bombers to attack it.
The Peking conducted a raid.
Isoroku Yamamoto has been promoting the theory of aircraft carrier victory in the Japanese Navy for a long time, but there are still many Japanese who have a soft spot for the tactics of giant ships and cannons. For example, Murakami Hashi, after seeing the battleship Beijing, he immediately became like
Like a wolf seeing a rabbit, it pounces on it with its red eyes regardless.
Nearly twenty-four bombers from the two teams broke through the blockade of the Xuebing Army Aviation Force, and only sixteen flew over the Beijing mobile fleet as expected. Because there were Xuebing Army fighter planes chasing and encircling them all around, Murakami Hashi had no time to make detailed arrangements.
tactics, shouting "The time has come to serve His Majesty the Emperor", and took the lead in flying down.
On board the Huangdi aircraft carrier, Chen Shichang paid attention to the Beijing mobile fleet. Just a quarter of an hour ago, he called Bian Jingdao and told him not to rush forward anymore and wait for reinforcements from frigates and heavy patrols. Bian Jingdao kept his promise and acted.
But he refused to do so. He had long thought of overpowering Li Deyan, but when he saw the enemy's battleship force approaching, he naturally refused to give up this opportunity to make a contribution. But he forgot that in the eyes of the enemy, the battleship Beijing was not a big one.
military exploits?
A brutal air defense battle began.
The Beijing was modified and added eight rocket launchers and a number of twin anti-aircraft machine guns in addition to the original air defense weapons. When the Japanese bombers began to gather over the ship, Bian Jingdao issued combat orders to the air defense forces. Large-caliber
The anti-aircraft artillery fired first, and just as Murakami's plane began to dive, a rocket launcher in its direction opened fire.
Rocket artillery has been popularized in the world at this time. For example, in Japan, its army is currently equipped with rocket launchers similar to the Soviet Katyusha. However, in terms of rocket manufacturing technology, the Xuebing Army is far ahead. Take
As for the "Thunderbolt III" rocket, no other country can currently master the design of the clustered submunitions in its warhead.
Ouyang Yun's idea is that ship-borne rocket launchers are actually a substitute for missiles and are transitional equipment. This is related to the limited range and low accuracy of rocket launchers. In other words, rocket launchers can only be used for short-range support. Once they are used for large-scale
In fact, it does not have much effect in naval battles. Of course, because it also has considerable air defense capabilities, it is good to use it to enhance the air defense capabilities of large ships when ship-to-air missiles are not yet mature.
Murakami began to dive at a straight-line distance of three thousand meters. This distance, for the high-diving Type 97 ship bomber, was only a matter of seconds. Because of Kinoshita Keygi's order, people like Murakami were deeply loved by the military.
The die-hards who were die-hard loyal to the Emperor were poisoned by communist ideology, and they were already prepared to be destroyed when they boarded the plane. Therefore, when he thought about it, even if he could not avoid the bombardment of ship-borne anti-aircraft weapons during the dive, as long as he maintained the course, the entire aircraft would be destroyed.
It is not a problem for the aircraft to hit the target battleship. The Type 97 ship bomb carrying two 400 kilogram bombs, even if it cannot complete the bomb delivery, it itself will become a super large bomb. And the target battleship is so huge, even if
It's not a problem to be hit on the way. So, even if you are shattered to pieces, as long as you can severely damage the enemy ship, it will be worth it.
"For the Empire! For His Majesty the Emperor!" Murakami thought through gritted teeth as he increased the accelerator to the maximum.
Things were not as "good" as Murakami thought. Just when he felt lucky to have avoided the bombardment of the enemy ship's long-range anti-aircraft artillery, a firework burst out at the end of his eyes, and then more than ten fireballs were dragged out.
Flying straight over with a plume of smoke.
Murakami had never seen a rocket launcher, so he didn't know what kind of weapon it was. His eyes widened and he asked in surprise: "This is?" Then he wanted to control the machine to avoid it, but found that the throttle had been increased to the maximum.
Because of this, the nose of the plane suddenly couldn't be pulled up.
Before he could reduce the throttle, three of the sixteen rockets exploded around his aircraft. Immediately, a ball of fire filled his vision, and he felt a burst of pain, and then the world went completely dark.
