The reason why Ouyang Yun asked Xu Kai and others to disguise themselves as British boats to sneak attack on the Kaga aircraft carrier was not only because the cadet navy at that time did not have the capital to deal with the Japanese army, but also because he wanted to completely muddy the waters in Southeast Asia.
Ask Xu Kai and others for their opinions. Although it is definitely more dangerous to perform this mission with their true identities, and may directly lead to the two coastal fleets of the Xuebing Army being nipped in the bud, they will still choose to fight as soldiers.
——After all, for the young navy trainees, they really need this honor.
Yanagimoto and Yanasaku almost instinctively shouted "We have been fooled". The original reason was precisely because of this - he had always thought that the transport fleet was being attacked by American submarines, but now he looked around and saw that the five submarines that had revealed their bodies were all
From the Xuebing Army, plus the two hundred fighter planes that appeared earlier and the two hundred torpedo boats that appeared later, even if there were American submarines lurking nearby, he thought it should be the Xuebing Army.
A trap carefully set by the Bingjun - Thinking of this, the little devil can't calm down. The Xuebingjun Air Force has sunk the aircraft carrier one after another. Is it a person with a false reputation? Coupled with those torpedo boats that pounced on like evil wolves, Yanagimoto
The more I analyze it, the more I feel that I might be in trouble this time.
The Royal Navy can no longer afford the humiliation of losing its aircraft carrier. Otherwise, the advantage that Mr. Yamamoto has worked so hard to gain in the military department some time ago will be lost. As one of the core members of the Yamamoto Clan of the Japanese Navy, Yanagimoto is qualified to know
Some unknown secrets from the upper echelons. Therefore, his mental burden was particularly heavy. With this thought in mind, he gave the order decisively, asking Goto to order all merchant ships to surround the three aircraft carriers.
Goto's full name is Goto Shino Hayabusa, and he is the person in charge of this transport fleet. As a businessman who retired as a major in the navy, he naturally understands what Yanagimoto's order means to his merchant ships. The old Japanese was angry.
, asked through the intercom: "Your Majesty Colonel, you were ordered to protect us, but now you want us, who are unarmed, to help you resist the attack?"
Yanagimoto thought that Goto was feeling sorry for his ship, and said rudely: "Goto-kun, please don't forget that your current status and wealth are all thanks to His Majesty the Emperor. Now His Majesty's royal family
Doesn’t the navy need you to make a little sacrifice? Don’t worry, the empire will compensate you for your losses. I promise that if this battle can be won, I will ask the Navy Ministry to reward you.”
While the two were bargaining, Shunsaku Nabeshima had already ordered his battleship to fire. A rumble of gunfire sounded, followed by a dull explosion from the explosion point and the sound of rolling waves. Six Japanese ships fired at the same time, and the scale was huge.
It's spectacular, but the effect is limited. The Swordfish's breakthrough speed is too fast, and the targets are small and scattered, so not one of the Japanese ship's ten guns may be able to hit the target. As long as it does not hit the target directly or at a distance
Beyond ten meters, it cannot cause damage to those torpedo speedboats.
Seeing this, Shunsaku Nabeshima became anxious. The little Japanese glanced up at the sky, then looked toward the northeast, and found the silhouette of a fighter plane flying over there. He suddenly shouted: "Stop air defense, concentrate your firepower to attack the incoming attack."
Enemy torpedo boat!"
Xue Changkong discovered the Japanese fighter group coming from the direction of Taipei early through airborne radar. When the group was still fifty kilometers away from them, he issued a retreat order and ordered the Long-range Aviation Division and Cheng Aviation Division to immediately retreat back to Guangdong.
If you go to Fujian, don’t go to Kaohsiung Airport for the time being.
Then, he looked at the flashing white sea below and prayed silently: "Huang Tianxun, please hurry up!"
Huang Tianxun lived up to his expectations. When the Japanese fighter jets coming from Taipei were still twenty kilometers away from the battle sea area, more than ten Swordfish swarms attacking from the direction of Green Island finally broke through the blockade constructed by six Japanese ships.
This made the little devil suddenly feel at a loss.
"Left the anti-aircraft machine guns, kill them, kill them!" Nabeshima Shunsaku waved his command knife and shouted crazily. As the torpedo boats of the Xuebing Army got closer and closer to the "Maya", the large-caliber naval guns had already
There was no room for display, and the strike density of small-caliber naval guns alone was too sparse. Although the Xuebingjun fighter planes in the sky were still wandering around looking for opportunities, he couldn't care less, and simply used the anti-aircraft machine guns to attack the sea.
Combat.
The sinking of the Yi-15 was a big blow to the captains of the remaining three submarines of the Little Devil. When he first saw the shape of the Xuebingjun submarine, the Little Devil laughed with a mocking look on his face because of its ugly appearance.
However, not long after the war started, the destroyer "Hamakaze" was first lost, and then even the submarine's ace I-15 was sunk. Only then did they feel a sense of crisis, and then they hurriedly searched for fighters, and then discovered that, except for that
A few of them took the initiative to reveal their bodies, but they were unable to proactively discover other enemy submarines hiding on the bottom of the sea.
There is a fierce battle in the sky, and the surface ships behind are firing wildly. In this environment, the feasibility of relying on passive sonar to find the underwater enemies is almost zero. The Yi-15 was sunk, and the little devil inside
The Japanese will have no mercy. According to the pre-war deployment, once Nobuo Ishikawa dies, Masao Kawamoto, the captain of another large-scale I-153, will take over the baton. Masao Kawamoto's mind is flexible, and he suddenly thinks of a possibility, and immediately
He ordered his telegraph operators to contact the commander of another destroyer unit, Colonel Konishi Kaito, and asked him to send two destroyers to help find the submarine of the Gakuin Army.
As the main type of anti-submarine warships, Japanese destroyers are equipped with active sonar. Kawamoto thought that the Xuebing Army submarine had avoided passive sonar detection by drifting with the flow, so he thought of this.
His idea was a good one, but the destroyers under Konishi's command were busy using naval guns to build a sea fire blockade, trying to prevent the swordfish school from approaching, so his request was directly rejected by Konishi.
Without the help of destroyers, it is almost impossible to proactively find enemy submarines lurking under the water. Kawamoto did not want the remaining three large submarines to become living targets for Xuebingjun submarines, so he ordered the destroyer squadron to return to the rear.
, simply use it as a floating ship, so as to share some firepower and sniper tasks.
Just after he gave this order, two kilometers away from the three o'clock direction, a Ming-class submarine suddenly surfaced, and then two water lines lined up, and two torpedoes headed straight towards the Yi-153 where he was.
It hit him.
"An enemy submarine was spotted at 11 o'clock. Ah! Torpedoes, two torpedoes!" the lookout immediately warned.
"The left and right rudders are ready to dive at the same time -" Kawamoto said solemnly.
"Sir, there seems to be something coming from the 9 o'clock direction -" the sonar soldier suddenly shouted loudly.
"Could it be a Chinese submarine? The Chinese want to use special attack tactics!" said a captain next to Kawamoto.
Kawamoto clenched his fist fiercely and shouted: "Dive as quickly as possible and ignore the fort!"
"Dive down, dive down immediately, the Chinese have launched a special attack," the captain roared, and the cabin of the I-153 immediately became busy.
