Chapter five hundred and seventy fifth Sea God's performance
The performance of Hengshan-class frigates and Poseidon ship-to-ship missiles has just begun. After Li Zhuoqi's troops, Zhang Pengsheng and Fu Tao's troops also launched attacks one after another. One after another, Poseidon dragged its orange tail flames into the sky, and then, it was deafening.
With the sound of explosions, more than ten heavy cruisers were hit successively. The captains of the Japanese heavy cruisers originally focused their attention on the heavy cruisers behind the frigates and the aircraft carrier group further away. Those behind the group were also focused on
Pulled by the roaring fighter planes in the sky - although the air combat pattern is not yet clear, the advantages of the Pacific Fleet are already obvious, so the Tiger Sharks and Chinese Sturgeons of the Pacific Fleet are also able to frequently attack the Yamato aircraft carrier fleet.
Launch an attack. Not only Abe Koki, but also all the heavy cruiser captains of the Japanese army, almost did not pay attention to the Hengshan-class frigate with a displacement of only about 2,000 tons.
Affected by World War I, the Japanese have a strong attachment to giant ships and artillery. Even though they accepted the theory of aircraft carrier victory because of Yamamoto Isoroku's strength, deep down, they still have a place for "giant ship and artillery tactics". This
It is also the fundamental reason why the Yamato-class battleship came into existence. Of course, the bigger the ship and the naval gun, the better. It is best to be able to ignore the opponent's bombardment, and at the same time, it can send the enemy ship to the bottom of the sea with one shot. The Japanese heavy cruiser, the caliber of the main gun
The smallest one is 200 millimeters, and has at least eight. So, if eight guns are fired at once, not to mention the Hengshan-class frigates of two to three thousand tons, even the much larger Songshan-class heavy destroyers may not be able to withstand it.
.
"The Chinese want to use destroyers to attract our military firepower - haha! The Chinese are so naive. As long as they are not given a chance to launch torpedoes, what if they eat ten or eight shells?" Suzuya said this.
The captain of the heavy cruiser Kimura Masafuku.
The Suzuya heavy cruiser belongs to the uppermost class. After modernization, its displacement has reached 12,400 tons, its main gun caliber is 203 mm, and it has five twin mounts. Its armor protection capability is 30,000 tons.
There is absolutely no problem with artillery shells with a caliber of less than 200 millimeters at a distance of about meters. This is exactly what Kimura Masafuku dared to say.
Kimura's wild words still echoed in the ears of other heavy patrol captains. First, the first heavy patrol team at the front both bombed, and then, dozens of sea gods roared towards them. The Japanese captains were dumbfounded. At first, they
The reaction was the same as the reaction of the Nachi captain Shibuya Shiro, shouting in a tone of disbelief: How is it possible? Eight cells! What's going on? Then, when the heavy cruiser they commanded also faced the threat of Poseidon and even caught fire,
Only then did they wake up and angrily called for artillery to fight back.
The Japanese heavy patrol naval gun units, like their captains, also paid little attention to the Hengshan-class frigates. And by the time they received the order to adjust the firing angle, most of them had lost the chance.
The cost of Poseidon ship-to-ship missiles is high. Therefore, although all types of ships under the Pacific Fleet are generally equipped, the trainees do not have many opportunities to test fire live ammunition. The trainees usually conduct armchair training.
Naturally, the performance was poor during the live-fire exercise. In addition, the target ship at that time was a "dead ship" and had no power equipment, which made the Poseidon's heat-seeking system useless. Therefore, the most important thing in the growth process of the Pacific Fleet was to learn from it.
An oolong joke appeared - at that time, five Poseidons were test-fired, but the result was zero. The cost of one Poseidon was worth fifty rounds of main guns of the Beijing and Nanjing. Such a high investment, but the output was zero.
, it’s no wonder that Chen Shichang and De Gu have no hope in Poseidon.
Senior officers such as Chen Shichang and Degu no longer have any hope in Poseidon, and naturally no one below them is optimistic about Poseidon. And their neglect of Poseidon misled the Japanese New Delhi agency. In addition, Li Lan Wang Cong
To make matters worse, the name Poseidon did not appear in the "Analysis Report on Combat Power of the Pacific Fleet" submitted by Koga Mineichi. However, it turns out that Poseidon is worthy of the name "Poseidon" and actually became the decisive factor in the victory of the Timor Sea Battle.
key factors in the trend.
Data available is that the frigate unit led by Zhang Pengsheng, Li Zhuoqi, and Fu Tao successfully launched a total of 131 Poseidons. However, nearly a hundred of these missiles hit enemy ships. This means that
This means that the hit rate of Poseidon has reached two-thirds, which has far exceeded the hit rate of naval guns. These nearly one hundred Poseidons have dealt a fatal blow to the Japanese heavy patrol force. This round of Poseidon
After the rain of missiles passed, the Japanese army patrolled twelve ships, three were sunk, seven were severely damaged, and although the remaining two were only slightly injured, they were no longer able to influence the direction of the battle.
The performance of the Hengshan-class frigates did not end here. In subsequent battles, the rocket launchers they were equipped with also had a chance to shine. The Yamato aircraft carrier's on-board armament was destroyed by its troops.
The heavy patrol force suffered heavy losses. With the naval aviation force completely suppressed, the Yamato aircraft carrier fleet and others would have lost an arm. Nagumo Chuichi saw thick smoke billowing in the sea area where the heavy patrol force was located through the telescope, and his expression changed immediately.
When he received the battle report from Koki Abe, the old Japanese staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Is this retribution?" The old Japanese man murmured after being supported by his subordinates. What appeared in his mind was a imaginary picture of Togo Heihachiro using torpedo boats to defeat the Russian Baltic Fleet.
The Japanese Combined Fleet was able to win the Battle of Tsushima because the torpedo boat force was able to make a small force. But now, the Gakuin Army's destroyer force has successfully severely damaged its own heavy patrol force. Is this a certain fate?
What? Nan Yun, who did not believe in ghosts and gods, began to become superstitious in the face of the cruel facts.
Poor Nagumo, at this time, he actually thought that it was destroyers that defeated his heavy patrol force, and he didn't even have the concept of guided missile frigates in his mind.
However, the battle was far from over. The defeat of the heavy patrol unit certainly frightened the Japanese, but at the same time, it also aroused the determination of a considerable number of people to fight to the death.
In the sky, the Japanese Air Force launched a suicide attack with more decisive actions, and this time, they targeted the ships of the Pacific Fleet.
At sea, after the main gun was damaged, the battleship Kirishima began to increase its power and rammed towards the Hakuin warships on the opposite side. In the northwest and southwest of the battlefield, the battleship had been avoiding the active sonar search of the Hakuin Pacific Fleet.
The Japanese submarine sailed towards the center of the battlefield regardless of the situation.
