The commander cursed: "Hey, when did the old men become so courageous? They are so willing to take risks."
Despite the scolding, the order had to be carried out. The Nanhai aircraft carrier formation sailed eastward, bypassing Japan's Sakishima fleet, which was on the hot pot, and headed directly for Miyako Island.
***************
For ten days, the crew of the Lushun submarine had been hoping that a naval battle would not break out and waiting for them to repair the submarine.
Today we heard about the bombing and sinking of several Japanese ships, and tomorrow there will be similar news.
Yang Jiangyi prays every day, hoping for a miracle to happen. He never thought that he would be so pious. A miracle happened. The Lushun submarine was launched on the afternoon of the 25th. If it weren’t for the comrades at the shipyard who needed to test it for 12 hours, Yang Jiangyi would have taken the submarine with him.
The boat left.
In the last 12 hours, Yang Jiangyi was like an ant on a hot pot, tossing and turning at night but unable to sleep.
A message came from the flagship that it was necessary to carry a radio. The correspondent asked doubtfully: "Captain, why do you think we need to carry a radio?"
Yang Jiangyi's mind was entirely focused on the 12-hour countdown, and he answered his subordinates without any help: "Whatever, the radio doesn't take up much space, just move it."
The morning sun had just risen. The entire crew of the Lushun submarine cooperated with the comrades from the Logistics Department of the Expeditionary Force Tainan Command to hand over the repaired submarine. The soldiers filed in excitedly.
Yang Jiangyi stood at the door of the dock, stroking the cold metal shell of the submarine like a beloved son and whispering: "The rest is up to you!"
The submarine couldn't wait to leave Tainan and headed straight to the Sakishima Islands to pursue the flagship and prepare to join the battle.
*************
The sky gradually brightened, and senior American advisers who had been searching for the aircraft carrier formation in the South China Sea all night finally lived up to their expectations and discovered clues of this fleet in the waters not far from Miyako Island.
Half an hour later, this piece of news, filled with the fatigue of a senior American official from a night, was sent to the naval commander of the Japanese Sakishima Islands.
Like a pack of hungry wolves, the Japanese fleet headed towards Miyakojima.
At ten o'clock in the morning, in the waters a hundred nautical miles east of the Miyako Islands, the Japanese Navy and the Chinese Navy met. The two sides launched a tentative attack. The missiles of both sides were unable to penetrate the other side's defense system. As usual, both sides sent out
A small number of ships conducted close-range tests.
China dispatched two Shun-class cruisers and three electromagnetic missile destroyers. The Shun-class is a new type of cruiser that was launched after the Olympic Games. The ship has a displacement of 12,000 tons and the entire ship is a new type of electronically controlled ship. The electromagnetic missile destroyer is also a new type of ship and has been in service for a long time.
In no more than three years, this type of ship will be the development direction of the Chinese navy in the future.
Japan sent an old battleship with a displacement of more than 30,000 tons, and the other four were old destroyers.
The Japanese Navy has developed in the direction of automation, electronics, and intelligence since the beginning of this century. After more than ten years of development, the Japanese fleet's intelligent, electronic, and automated ships have reached 85% of the nation's Naval Self-Defense Forces. This is why
The reason why the Japanese Navy looks down on the Chinese Navy is that the figure of the Chinese Navy has just reached 34%.
The Shun-class taming ship did not have naval guns. Six missiles were fired from the tail and flew towards the battleship. The destroyer also launched missiles. More than twenty missiles were aimed at the battleship at the same time. The Japanese Navy was not idle either. Two missiles were fired from the tail.
Missiles and countless naval gun shells fired in parabolic salvos at the Chinese Navy.
China's missiles approached the battleship. The battleship's defense system locked all the missiles, but suddenly a missile exploded in the missile group. The slight gunpowder and large amounts of debris suddenly exceeded the load of the defense system. The radar analyzed at least 200 missiles.
An unknown target approached, and the defense system analyzed its power to determine the interception direction. In this short period of time, more than twenty missiles hit the battleship firmly. After a violent explosion, the battleship ignited blazing flames, tilted downward, and was about to
sunk.
The Chinese side was not much better. The defense systems of cruisers and destroyers were relatively small. One-tenth of the naval guns fired from the sky hit the hull. Unfortunately, one destroyer was hit by the ammunition depot and was blown to pieces.
Disappeared into the sea.
Half of the battleships have been sunk, and both sides have only four battleships left. It is a tie at 1:1. Japan lost a battleship, but it was an old battleship that was basically going to be eliminated. Although China sank a destroyer, it was a new type of ship.
, in comparison, both sides are not much better.
Without the powerful firepower support of the battleships, after two rounds of firing, only two of the five Japanese battleships remained. The Chinese fleet was unscathed, but of course it was scarred by the naval guns.
The Japanese fleet suddenly rushed forward, with both wings forward in a naval battle U formation. The Chinese fleet was not to be outdone, and counterattacked in a C formation with the aircraft carrier as the center.
The carrier-based aircraft J-11 flew into the sky, densely throwing anti-ship missiles at the Japanese fleet. The Japanese commander had already thought of this problem. The Japanese fighter jets who did not know where they were hiding appeared in the sky five minutes later. Both sides
A fierce fight ensued.
Plane vs. plane, battleship vs. battleship, a battle without skills, relying entirely on the will and strength of both sides.
Naval cannon shells and missiles came and went, soaring in the sky, roaring towards the other side's ship.
Thick smoke, fierce flames, sinking ships, wreckage on the water, and sailors fleeing to safety on the sea, this is destined to be a war of attrition.
The commanders of both sides also understood that the result of this battle was that there would be no winner. Even if they defeated the other party, their own strength would be very low. However, the battle lines were glued together and no one could retreat. To retreat would mean being completely annihilated.
Persevere, persevere, keep persevering, this is a battle of wills.
Four hours later, the advanced weapons of both sides were exhausted, and the battle went from the 21st century to the 18th century. The duel between naval guns and naval guns was just like when England's new gunboats defeated the Spanish Armada. The frequency of the battles between the two sides became more and more frequent.
Slowly, move around the battlefield and use your speed to get rid of the enemy's naval guns.
The advantage of the Chinese Navy is the rapid supply of the air force. The advantage of the Japanese Navy is that the fire control system of the naval guns is much more accurate. Under their respective advantages, both China and Japan have shown the spirit of dying with the enemy. No one has
The warship withdraws from the battle and sinks is the final result of this warship.
No one expected that the battle would evolve like this, not even the naval commanders of the Japanese Sakishima Islands, nor the Chinese aircraft carrier formation in the South China Sea.
The number of ships sunk by both fleets has reached 50% of the total number of ships on both sides of the war, and another warship will be sunk every ten minutes. The battle is so cruel.
