"Report, the flagship ordered us to wipe out all enemy ships." The communications officer took the incomplete radio signal and figured out the general content of the order.
"Can the torpedo still be launched?" Yang Jiangyi asked.
"You must manually load ammunition and manually aim." The weapons commander replied after communicating with the radar room.
"Okay, follow my order, I'll take aim." Yang Jiangyi stood in front of the periscope, stared at the lens closely and said: "The target is the Yamato-class battleship Yamato, the azimuth is 35 degrees, and the left and right torpedoes are launched at an interval of four seconds."
The battleship Yamato suffered losses in the last naval battle, and Yang Jiangyi has been preparing to recover it. The battleship Yamato has been equipped with the Japanese Navy since 1915. From then on, no matter how the main fleet of the Japanese navy is upgraded, the most advanced ships will be named Yamato.
It has been almost 100 years since the current generation of Yamato battleships. There are six generations of ships before and after. However, the Yamato battleship generally does not have a long life. It has been sunk three times in naval battles.
This battleship was the most advanced warship equipped by Japan in the 1990s. It was a giant battleship with a total displacement of more than 70,000 tons.
The new generation of Yamato-class battleships have just entered service, so they have not had time to change their names. This warship still represents the highest combat effectiveness of the Japanese Navy.
A torpedo hit the Yamato. At this time, the Yamato battleship switched to manual operation, firing shells while retreating to the north. Thick smoke and dust were still rising from the left side, and it disappeared into the darkness of the north. The Japanese navy saw Yamato
The ship withdrew from the battle, and the warships that could move broke into pieces and fled in all directions.
The Chinese navy was busy sinking Japanese warships that refused to surrender and could not find time to pursue the fleeing navy. Moreover, in the vast Pacific Ocean, there were no radars or satellites. Where could you pursue them?
The Navy of the Sakishima Islands was completely finished. The last few battleships surrounded the flagship and hoisted black self-destruct flags. As usual, the Chinese Navy stopped the bombardment, and small lifeboats and life rafts were lowered from the battleships. The Navy
The soldiers boarded the life raft and looked back at their warship. A white flag hung on the life raft and rowed towards the Chinese navy warship.
With the roaring sound of explosives, the battleship broke in the middle, seawater poured into the warship, and the warship gradually sank to the bottom of the sea.
The battle is so unpredictable. One minute they may be fighting each other, but by the time this minute passes, the war has changed dramatically.
Chinese naval officers and soldiers cannot even be normally excited. Victory on the battlefield is both too hard to come by and too easy.
It's not easy to say. After almost ten hours of naval battle, two-thirds of the naval force disappeared. Tens of thousands of naval soldiers were buried in the sea, and their souls were shattered. It's easy to say that suddenly the enemy's ability to resist disappeared, as if
A stone floating on the sea can only be beaten, but cannot fight back.
In any case, this battle will eventually be recorded as a classic naval battle in history. It was China's first large-scale modern maritime battle and China's first naval victory in modern history.
In particular, he used his own strength to defeat his old enemy the Japanese Navy. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1898, the Beiyang Fleet, the first navy in Asia, was sunk by the Japanese with all their strength. At the same time, the rise of the Chinese navy and the forty thousand nations were also sunk.
Man’s ocean dream.
Today, a century later, the Chinese Navy has stood up again with its own capabilities and announced to the world with facts that the Chinese have since begun to face the ocean.
From the beginning to the end of the Battle of Sakishima Islands, both sides deployed a total of more than 1,500 ships, more than 1,000 various aerial aircraft, China dispatched 40 submarines, and Japan also dispatched two reconnaissance submarines.
The scale of this naval battle was basically the same as the largest naval battle of Leyte Gulf between the United States and Japan in human history. Legend has it that after the naval battle, the number of ships returning to China dropped by two-thirds.
After the battle, the Chinese navy captured 2 battleships, 5 cruisers, 3 destroyers, 9 frigates, and 16 large transport ships. It captured 5,283 Japanese naval officers and soldiers, including 22 senior officers (college level or above), and China lost 3 battleships.
16 cruisers, 47 destroyers, 60 frigates, 2 nuclear submarines, 11 conventional submarines, 301 aircraft of various types were lost, 117 Sakishima Air Force aircraft were captured, and more than 600 enemy ships were directly sunk. Japan first
The navy of the islands was completely annihilated, the J19 joint transport fleet was completely annihilated, and the navy of Okinawa Prefecture has basically lost its combat capability.
At 8:30 pm on September 26, the J19 fleet was completely wiped out, which also marked the successful end of the battle to defend Taipei. The Japanese in Taiwan were no longer able to attack Taipei, so they had to shrink their defense lines and wait in Keelung to build a defensive offensive and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.
However, Japanese reinforcements may not be able to wait for the time being.
After the Battle of Sakishima Islands, the Chinese Navy occupied Iriomote Island for repairs and digested the huge war losses. After this battle, China lost almost a quarter of its naval power and a third of its air force, which was very important for development.
China in China simply cannot be described in any words.
The war was so cruel. Hundreds of billions of yuan and tens of thousands of well-trained naval officers and soldiers sank to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, becoming the first cornerstone of China's fight for the ocean.
On October 3, the United States declared war. There was a rather ridiculous thing. At that time, the United States Congress discussed China's invasion of Japan as a reason for joining the war. This was suddenly broken by the Japanese People's Provisional Government established on October 2, leaving the United States without its own opponent when it entered the war.
.
The reason for invasion is simply untenable. The Japanese People's Government joined the East Asia Alliance Defense Organization on the day of its establishment, so it can invite the contracting states to participate in the war. The contracting states are also obliged to assist countries that are experiencing civil war or are under military threat. The Japanese People's Provisional Government and the Japanese Government can
Two countries considered to be in civil war.
However, the Japanese People's Provisional Government has officially invited the contracting states to enter and participate in the war, so China cannot talk about invading Japan. The three-day discussion in the U.S. Congress has become a piece of waste paper, as disgusting as eating flies.
The U.S. Ministry of Foreign Affairs was faster. After communication was restored on September 30, it submitted a report on sanctions against China for invading a sovereign country to the Security Council. Unexpectedly, two or three days later, the situation suddenly reversed, and the Sino-Japanese war became a Japanese civil war.
China’s legal assistance.
On October 2, the Special Envoy of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the United Nations delivered a 75-minute speech, which elaborated on China’s position and unchangeable policy from three aspects. The speech pointed out that China and Japan are countries that have declared war, and
China and the Japanese People's Provisional Government are contracting states. At the invitation of the Japanese People's Provisional Government, it is reasonable and legal for China to enter Japan and participate in the war. Even if the invitation from the Japanese People's Provisional Government is illegal, as both parties declaring war, attacking their respective territories is in line with international law.
