As an air-cooled machine gun produced in France, the Hotkiss has the characteristics of light weight and high power. Its unique [-]mm bullets can tear apart wooden wings with just one hit.However, the wonderful Japanese engineers did not think of a problem, that is, the feasibility of installing ammunition in the air.

In order to increase the flexibility of the aircraft, Japanese engineers tried to reduce the weight of the aircraft as much as possible, so they installed the M[-] Hatchkiss light machine gun on the aircraft.This machine gun is very powerful on the ground, but it has a fatal problem in the air.Because this machine gun uses [-] rounds of ammunition for ammunition, if Japanese pilots want to use the machine gun to shoot, they have to replace the veneer for the machine gun every time they shoot [-] rounds, and then pull the bolt to continue shooting.

This kind of shooting not only has no continuity at all, but the pilot has to operate the aircraft with one hand and replace the spring board with the other. This kind of acrobatic action in the air is extremely dangerous, and the slightest carelessness will cause the aircraft to crash and kill people.Seeing the Japanese army planes coming, the fighter jets raised their altitude one after another, and under the leadership of the division commander Li Ruyan and the regiment leader Liu Baotai, they hid in the clouds.

The pilots of the Japanese army did not see the existence of the Hualan fighter, because their eyes were all attracted by the huge bomber.The pilots of the Japanese army operated the temporarily modified aircraft and threw themselves into the air battle.This squadron was originally deployed in Jinzhouli. After hearing that the Hualan Air Force bombed the Japanese army's forward position, it took off in a hurry and came in this direction.

Seeing the heavy and large bomber in front of them getting closer and closer, the pilots of the Japanese army became excited. They thought it was time for them to make contributions.The Japanese pilots fought on their own, and Farman fighter jets bit the bomber, intending to shoot it down.However, these Japanese pilots who had no experience in air combat did not realize that gray-black biplanes had pierced through the clouds above their heads.

Fukichi Kinoshita, the squadron leader of the Japanese Air Force flying at the forefront, tried his best to control the plane, barely covering the tail of the bomber with the aiming ring of the machine gun.The bomber was still flying smoothly, as if it hadn't noticed the crisis from behind. This situation seemed a bit abnormal.Kinoshita Fukichi couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, he always felt that some danger was approaching.

The roar of the engine came from the rear, and at the beginning he could clearly distinguish that it was the Farman plane piloted by three of his subordinates.The sound of this four-cylinder in-line water-cooled engine was familiar to Kinoshita Fukichi.But soon a louder engine appeared, and the sound quickly became chaotic. This was by no means the sound of three engines.

Kinoshita Fukichi turned his head in astonishment, and looked at his companion behind him.He was surprised to find that there were more than 30 lightweight single-engine biplanes following the four Japanese army planes, and the distance between the two sides was still rapidly closing.Kinoshita Fukichi's face turned pale immediately, and he finally knew why the bomber ignored him, because he and three of his men fell into a trap carefully arranged by the West Army.

Li Ruyan first used the aiming ring to trap the tail of a Farman [-] fighter jet. When the high tail of the plane filled his sight, the firing button of the machine gun was pressed hard.The J-[-] fighter is equipped with two [-]-type heavy machine guns with the water-cooling sleeves removed. Although these [-]mm machine guns are not as powerful as the Hotkiss, they are much more convenient to use because of the belt feed.

The shrewd Hualan engineers were much more thoughtful. They integrated the trigger of the machine gun into the joystick, allowing the pilot to shoot without taking his hands off the joystick. This design is the most advanced in the world today.

Chapter 638 Fleet Encounter

What Li Ruyan pressed at this time was the machine gun button on the top of the joystick, and as the red button was pressed, the two machine guns on the nose spewed out long tongues of flame, and the bullets flying out at high speed passed the propeller and accurately hit the Japanese in front. military aircraft.

Two streams of fiery red bullets were like whips, slamming on a Farman [-] fighter, leaving two rows of huge bullet holes in the fragile wooden fuselage.As the billowing black smoke came out, the Japanese fighter jet tilted its head and fell straight to the ground.

Seeing that one of their own planes was shot down, the other Japanese planes were frightened and turned quickly, but it was too late.With a burst of clear gunshots, the remaining three Farman [-] fighters were wiped out cleanly.Because the Japanese army was not equipped with parachutes, the four Japanese pilots had no chance of surviving.

Looking at the thick smoke rising from the ground due to the explosion of the plane, Li Ruyan smiled slightly: "Attention all units, we are returning."

"Okay." The soldiers replied one after another.On the way back, the fighter pilots talked excitedly about the battle. This was their first real air battle, so they were naturally very excited.The pilot with the number of shot downs talked eloquently, which immediately attracted envious clicks.Everyone talked a lot today, so noisy that Li Ruyan had to close the communication channel.

Li Ruyan sighed. He rubbed his temples that ached from the noise, opened a small box on the side of the plane, took out a piece of chewing gum and threw it into his mouth.

Aircraft in this era are still very primitive, and the requirements for not placing sundries in the aircraft are not yet strict, so pilots in this era appear to be more sentimental.Not only are there some snacks in the plane, some even put family photos in the windshield.

Li Ruyan chewed Wrigley's chewing gum produced by Zhongchuan Fast Food Factory, thinking about how to write a combat report after returning home.This time, in order to let all the pilots feel the atmosphere of actual combat, Li Ruyan brought everyone out, but now it seems that his own strength has been exposed, so that the Japanese can clearly see the strength of the SAR Air Force, and they don’t know whether it is good Still bad.

Li Ruyan sighed, and his thoughts flew to the aircraft factory again.Before leading the team to the Eastern Hun Province to participate in the war, he once saw the latest aircraft being tested in the aircraft factory.It is said that based on the actual combat experience in the Western Continent, Feng Ru designed a new high-wing fighter.Although the hover performance is slightly worse, it has a clear advantage in top speed, roll and rate of climb.Li Ruyan couldn't help thinking to herself, when that kind of fighter jet can be used, maybe the air force's combat power will be improved again.

Just when Li Ruyan was thinking about the new fighter jets, the battle at sea was imminent.The main fleet sent by the Japanese army patrolled the East China Sea, covering the transport fleet and transporting troops and supplies to Pusan ​​Port non-stop. After two days of voyage, from Zhao Shouhong's real-time notification, he could know the exact coordinates of the Pacific Ocean in the western special zone. The fleet has come up.

At nine o'clock in the morning on May 5, the Jiujiang-class cruiser Songjiang appeared in the sight of the telescope of the Wa country lookout post.The Japanese sailors on the Fuso sounded the alarm, and the whole ship quickly entered a fighting state.Commander Yusaburo Kato stood on the bridge, looking at the cruiser Matsue that had started to turn around and leave, his brows were tightly knit together.

It is not a good omen to find Hualan's cruiser in this sea area.At this time, Kato Yusaburo is most worried that the main force of the Hualan Navy may appear at any time. "The whole army has entered the first level of combat readiness and is ready to meet the enemy at any time." Kato Yusaburo issued an order, and all Japanese warships became busy. Two Fuso-class battleships and Kongo battlecruiser formed a formation, heading in the direction where Matsue cruiser left Speed ​​up and rush over.

"Songjiang called back and found the main Japanese fleet, which is [-] kilometers away from the southeast." Cai Tingqian's heart tightened at the words of the communication staff officer, and he immediately issued an order: "Sound the battle alarm, and everyone enters a state of combat readiness."

The main forces of both sides began to speed up and rushed towards each other. At 37:[-] in the morning, both sides were already in sight.When he saw the thick black smoke in the sky, Cai Tingqian showed a relieved smile. He knew that he had finally captured the main fleet of the Japanese army.How the situation will develop next depends on the performance of the officers and soldiers.

"Open the communication channel, I want to talk to the officers and soldiers of all the warships." Cai Tinggan said to the communication staff officer.Through the microwave communicator and the speakers of each ship, Cai Tinggan's words will be heard clearly by all naval officers and soldiers.

"All naval officers and soldiers, I am Cai Tinggan, commander of your fleet. After several days of searching, we finally found the main fleet of the Japanese people. Coincidentally, we are now in the vicinity of Dadonggou in the Yellow Sea .22 years ago, our predecessors, the Northland Navy, suffered heavy losses in this place from a surprise attack by the United Fleet of the Japanese Empire. Since that day, the Hualan Navy has been burdened with an indelible shame, which was once the Chinese Empire The shame of being defeated by the lower state. For many years, from the Houjin to the Republic of China, the navy has not been greatly developed, and the distance between us and the world's navy is getting wider and wider. Until the governor Zhao Shouhong, he privately funded the expansion of shipbuilding After countless hard work, we have the big ship we have today. The opportunity finally came today, and the fleet of the Japanese people is right in front of us. When this opportunity is once in a century, we should bravely and courageously Forward. In order to wash away the shame that the Wa country imposed on the Hualan Navy, let us use cannons to return the name of the weak navy to the Wa country, let us pay homage to the spirits of our ancestors with the blood of the Wa people, and let us fight for the motherland. A bright future. Fight the enemy bravely and never retreat."

"Fight the enemy bravely, fight to the death without retreating." All the naval officers and soldiers roared at me. This is the release of the Hualan Navy's suppression for decades, and this is the horn of the Hualan Navy standing tall in the East again.When the naval officers and soldiers of the special zone began to prepare for combat again, everyone's heart was filled with flames.That is the flame of anger, the flame of vengeance, and these flames will burn all the enemies who stand in their way in today's battle.

The three battlecruisers braved the wind and waves, and drove towards the Japanese warship at a high speed of 25 knots.The Guanghaicheng-class battlecruiser was designed and built by Hualan designer Wei Han with reference to the Teutonic Von Tann battlecruiser and the Derfflinger-class battlecruiser.

The standard displacement of the battleship is 27 tons, and it uses two Parsons direct-drive steam turbines for four-shaft propulsion, [-] heavy oil water tube boilers, and an output power of [-] horsepower, which can reach a maximum speed of [-] knots.

Chapter 639 Hitting the Target

The battleship adopts the Dongdayang ship type with a bow that floats outwards, with a length-to-width ratio of seven to one. Eight 350mm [-]-caliber guns are neatly arranged on four double-mounted turrets arranged along the central axis.

Due to the adoption of the key protection concept, only important parts such as the turret, power transmission compartment, and bridge and deck are equipped with decks, and other secondary parts are subdivided into subdivided watertight compartments to resist sinking.Therefore, the designer was able to put more armor weight on the key parts, making the armor belt thicker than 350 mm, and even the deck was 260 mm.

For these three battlecruisers, Cai Tinggan has absolute confidence. Even if they are one size smaller than the opponent's battleship, he still believes that his side has an absolute advantage.

Standing on the bridge, Yusaburo Kato had the same feeling as Cai Tinggan. The Fuso-class battleship with a displacement of [-] tons and the battlecruiser Kongo with a displacement of [-] tons were bigger than their opponents no matter what. number one.In the idea of ​​​​a naval cannon giant ship whose tonnage is equal to combat power, size has already determined the outcome.

The three faster battlecruisers of the SAR Navy began to turn at a high speed of 25 knots, and the twelve main gun turrets quickly turned to the right, aiming at the approaching Japanese fleet.

"Fire the guns." Cai Tinggan gave an order, and 24 main guns on the three battlecruisers that were about to complete their turn roared at the same time, and the water column around the Japanese fleet immediately shot up into the sky.

"Turn to the left." Seeing that the enemy army, which had an advantage in speed, completed the turn first, Kato Yusaburo immediately ordered the battleship to turn along with it.Led by the flagship Fuso, the Tosa and King Kong also began to turn.Although the King Kong battlecruiser can also reach a speed of 27 knots, it cannot exert its speed advantage at all because it is dragged down by the Fuso-class battleship with a top speed of only 23 knots.

The Japanese fleet could only turn slowly at a speed of [-] knots. Fortunately, half of the officers and soldiers in the Hualan Navy were on the battlefield for the first time, and they failed to hit the three salvos. This gave Kato Yusaburo a favorable opportunity to turn.Wa's three battleships spewed long white waves from their sterns, and their hulls were almost tilted to [-] degrees. They drove at almost the limit of the turning speed, and seized the opportunity to complete the front turn.As soon as the bow was turned, all the main guns of the Japanese ship began to roar.

The Japanese main fleet with 32 350mm main guns also started firing, and the main warships of the two sides began to shoot at each other continuously.The three rounds of volleys had no effect, Cao Mingfeng, the first mate of the Guanghai City, was unavoidably anxious. This top student from the first phase of the Maritime Academy has a very deep knowledge of the position of gunnery officer.After getting permission from Cai Tingqian, he quickly ran up to the firing command room on the uppermost floor of the bridge.

"Mate Cao, why are you here?" Several artillery officers asked curiously.

"Now we are at a disadvantage, and we must achieve results as soon as possible. I will take over the command for a while." Cao Mingfeng's words did not arouse the disgust of several gunnery officers. attainments.Now that Cao Mingfeng took over the command, they became excited instead.

"Report the data." Cao Mingfeng put his eyes on the ten-meter optical rangefinder, carefully adjusting the lens.

"The wind force is six, and the roll is fifteen degrees." A gunnery officer reported loudly.

"The speed is 25 knots, and the angle is [-] degrees." Another officer also reported.

"The distance is 310 meters." Cao Mingfeng actually reported a data accurate to ten meters.These data were quickly transmitted through the wired telephone system to the computing room below the deck, where a transistorized large electronic computer was responsible for ballistic calculations.The operator quickly entered the data into the computer, and with the rapid flow of data on the mechanical screen, the calculated data appeared soon.

"Attention all main guns, turn to 75 degrees, muzzle elevation angle 37 degrees, install armor-piercing shells, and fire with full charge." Seeing the data sent back, Cao Mingfeng immediately issued an order.

The four turrets on the Guanghai City began to fine-tune, and with the commander's order, the fourth round of salvo began.With the flashes of the gun muzzle, thick gunpowder smoke covered most of the hull, and the warship sailing at high speed was recoiled by the main gun and moved a distance of four meters.

Captain Hyakutake Saburo, who was observing the situation on the battleship Tosa, raised his head. He listened to the screams from far and near, and suddenly felt a panic in his heart.Before Hyakutake Saburo gave instructions, eight large-caliber shells had already fallen.Seven shells fell into the nearby water, setting off a water column tens of meters high around the Tosa, but the last shell hit the Tosa accurately.

With the sound of a huge explosion, a huge hole exploded in the front deck of the Tosa.The SAR Navy uses the hooded and capped armor-piercing projectile developed by Zhao Shouhong. This kind of projectile has a very strong armor-piercing ability, and can even penetrate carburized and hardened armor of the same caliber thickness.

The Fuso-class battleship with a relatively conservative construction concept, its design also follows the layout before World War I, with a deck thickness of only 51 mm.How can such weak armor stop the attack of the hood by the cap armor-piercing projectile.An armor-piercing projectile easily penetrated the upper deck and exploded below the waterline after penetrating three decks.The huge explosion caused considerable damage to the hull structure of the Tosa, and the scorching shrapnel even penetrated a deck, almost detonating the torpedo compartment below the waterline.

Seeing the billowing smoke from the Tosa and the Guanghai City, they finally hit the target.

"Keep shooting." Cao Mingfeng ordered loudly excitedly.It has already hit the Tosa, which shows that the shooting data is very correct. As long as the salvos are fired continuously in a short period of time, the results of the battle will definitely be expanded.

Hyakutake Saburo broke into a cold sweat from the sight in front of him. He really wanted to order the battleship to turn to avoid the opponent's trajectory.But he is in the middle of the battle line, once he leaves the battle position, the whole formation will fall into chaos.In order to avoid the failure of this naval battle due to formation confusion, Hyakutake Saburo could only grit his teeth and order the battleship to keep on course.

The Fuso-class battleship has six turrets arranged along the centerline. The arrangement of so many turrets causes the shock wave to cover the entire ship once a salvo is fired.In order to avoid structural damage to the warships due to excessive recoil, the two warships had to divide their main guns into two groups for alternate salvos.

In addition, because of the excessive emphasis on firepower, speed must also be taken into account.Coupled with the fact that there are too many turrets, the hull is too long, and the armor of the Fuso class is quite weak.When such a battle line was bombarded, the weaknesses of the Japanese warship's armor were quickly exposed.

6 Chapter Forty

The Guanghai City fired two salvos again, and three more shells hit the Tosa.One of the shells unexpectedly hit the No. [-] turret in the middle.The armor-piercing projectile penetrated the turret with huge kinetic energy, causing a big explosion inside it.

With the violent vibration, the No. [-] turret was blown into the sky, and a dark pit appeared in the interruption of the hull, and cracks appeared in the already weak hull.

The officers and soldiers of the Guanghai City had no time to celebrate, and a 350 [-]mm shell hit the side of the ship.With the loud explosion, the whole ship trembled.The armor steel technology from the Teutonic country is quite excellent, and the explosion of the shells did not penetrate the armor.
