super god warlord

Seeing the seaplanes of the Seat Army circling back and forth in the air, Kanji Kato instinctively felt that the main fleet of the Seaite Navy was nearby.The air-to-air combat just now achieved considerable results, which greatly increased his confidence in the decisive naval battle.In order to boost morale, he would say that. Of course, in order not to increase the tension of the soldiers, he did not explain the possible naval battle, but in the conversation with the captains, they made arrangements before the battle.

It is obvious that the brainwashing of Japanese militarism is very thorough. Encouraged by Kanji Kato’s declaration, the morale of the Japanese soldiers was high again. Regardless of the splashing of the waves, they stood on the side of the ship and watched until their whole bodies were wet.

"I found the enemy situation, there are at least ten ships in the direction of 030, and they are approaching at high speed." The lookout post suddenly issued a warning, and Kato Kanji's heart couldn't help but tighten.

"The whole fleet is in combat mode, ready to fire at any time." Kanji Kato responded immediately, the gunners were in position one after another, all the waterproof compartment doors were closed, and the slippery deck suddenly became busy.A series of anti-aircraft guns pointed to the sky, and the huge main gun turret began to turn, looking for the upcoming target.

Chapter 55 Ultra Long Range

Because the ship Akagi was sunk by one's own side, the captain of the Daiwa, Rear Admiral Yamamoto 56, temporarily participated in the battle as Kanji Kato's staff.At this moment, he held up his binoculars and looked in the direction of the enemy ship. Against the background of the white waves, five cruisers and five destroyers were rapidly approaching.

"The enemy is a cruiser fleet. It seems to be trying to disrupt our formation. Maybe their air force is behind." Yamamoto 56 said.What he meant was very clear. The enemy may be disrupting their own formation, and the aircraft will solve the problem after the air defense formation is dispersed.If this were not the case, the opponent's attack on the battleship fleet with cruisers would be death.

Admiral Kanji Kato agreed with Yamamoto 56's thoughts very much. He nodded and said: "I also think it is possible, otherwise they would not take the initiative to meet them. I think it is enough to let the cruisers and destroyers pass by and entangle them. The main force The fleet moves on."

"Yes, I'll notify you right away." Rear Admiral Yamamoto 56 nodded and walked out of the bridge.The cruiser fleet of the Japanese army quickly broke away from the large formation and rushed towards the fleet commanded by Lin Jixun.In order to solve the opponent as soon as possible, the cruiser fleet of the Japanese army dispatched superior forces to intercept it. Among them, there were four first-class cruisers and eight second-class cruisers. Judging from the tonnage and firepower, they had an almost overwhelming advantage.

Seeing the opponent approaching, Lin Jixun sneered, and he immediately issued an order: "The cruiser fleet follows the flagship to turn, and all main guns are ready to fire."

"Is this a group of lunatics? Turning around at a distance of fifteen kilometers, they thought they were battleships?" Rear Admiral Oguriyuan, who commanded the cruiser fleet, widened his eyes, watching the cruiser being turned quickly.He even thought that the reason why the other party turned was to seize the T-head position early, waiting for him to be sent to the door.

But such thinking is obviously wishful thinking. After they reveal their intentions, it is estimated that no one will be so stupid as to send them to their door.Rear Admiral Oguri Gen smiled coldly, and immediately wanted to order the fleet to deviate from the course, avoid the opponent's priority to grab the battle position, and let the fleet detour to the opponent's tail to attack.What he didn't expect was that the opponent's main gun had already fired before his order was issued.

When he heard the opponent's main gun start firing, Xiao Liyuan couldn't believe his ears. His first realization was that the opponent was a rookie and started firing outside the firing range. It was a waste of shells, but the next He couldn't laugh for a second.

Because of the positioning of the seaplane circling in the sky, as well as the help of the warning radar and the six-meter optical rangefinder on each cruiser, the accuracy of their shelling is quite high.In the first shelling alone, three near-misses were fired.Rear Admiral Oguriyuan's face changed drastically. He never knew that naval guns with a caliber below [-]mm could hit so far.

In fact, such a range is unique in the world, and this is why Lin Jixun dared to take on such a mission, using cruisers to attack battleships.Relying on the super-strong gun steel refining technology from the Teutonic Kingdom combined with the new smelting technology of the Western Special Zone, the researchers quickly refined enough strong gun steel, allowing the West Army's naval guns to exceed sixty times path.

When the Zhongshan was replaced with a 203mm caliber gun, it was installed with a 65-caliber main gun.Of course, if only the double diameter is high, it cannot make the shell hit so far. More importantly, the navy has switched to the bottom concave armor-piercing shell.

The shell breaks through the air and moves forward during flight. At this time, the air pressure on the bullet head is extremely high, and due to inertia, the air at the tail has no time to fill the local air sparseness caused by the movement of the projectile, so the air pressure there is much smaller.

This pressure difference between the head and tail of the shell results in a head-to-tail air pressure in the opposite direction of the shell's flight, which is known as bottom drag.The bottom concave bomb just uses this principle. It just adds a groove at the bottom of the warhead, so that the shock wave of the air in flight is transmitted here to generate turbulent flow, so as to disperse the low-pressure vortex at the tail and reduce resistance. Indirectly increased range.

The concave bottom bomb has a simple structure and does not occupy the weight share of the warhead. Due to the reduction of the bottom resistance, the requirements for the shell are also reduced. The production process of the shell is simple and low cost. At the same time, it achieves the effect of increasing the range and improving the accuracy. Today All the shells of the West Army have been modified to this process.

When the 203mm shells of Zhongshan and the three Jiujiang-class cruisers and the 152mm main gun of Yingrui fell around the Japanese cruiser fleet almost at the same time, the best Aoba-class and Furutaka-class first-class cruisers in Japan The effective range of the fifty times the 200 mm caliber main gun is still a long way off.

Rear Admiral Oguri Gen was startled. If the opponent fired one minute late and the cruiser fleet started to turn, the entire fleet would become a target.When he adjusted his direction again, it was estimated that at least one-third of the twelve cruisers would be sunk.

Rejoicing secretly that the opponent fired earlier, Major General Oguri Gen commanded the fleet to advance at full speed, making sure to rush into the effective range of his own side in the shortest possible time.

After dismantling all the armor and replacing the small-caliber artillery, the former Gwanghae-class battlecruiser has transformed into the Chongshan-class heavy cruiser. Because of the weight loss of almost 32 tons of displacement, the speed of this battleship has increased to [-] knots.

The speed of Zhongshan is extremely fast, and the modified Kyushu-class light cruiser and Yingrui can also reach a speed of more than 34.5 knots, which is not much different from the speed of the Japanese cruiser fleet.What's more, due to the gap in craftsmanship, the battleships of the Seat Navy can maintain rapid sailing for a long time, and the top speed of the two first-class cruisers of the Japanese country has reached 10 knots, but if Oguri Yuan dares to drive at this speed for [-] minutes The power systems of the four first-class cruisers can be scrapped.

The two sides kept chasing at the same speed, so the distance naturally couldn't be shortened. However, Lin Jixun relied on his superb command ability and used the kite-flying tactic to keep pressing down on the opponent, so that the Japanese had no chance to fight back.In such a situation where they were beaten and unable to fight back, the Japanese cruiser suffered losses very quickly.

A 203 mm caliber artillery shell hit the second-class cruiser Sendai following behind. What surprised Oguri Yuan was that the shell was very powerful.The cannonball penetrated directly from the deck, penetrated through the third floor to reach the core of the hull, and exploded in the power cabin.The huge explosion destroyed several boilers and slowed the ship's speed by almost half.

It turns out that the Seat Navy has already popularized the hooded and capped armor-piercing projectiles, and at the same time the shell charges have been replaced with TNT charges.This kind of shell with full armor-piercing ability and full blasting ability is naturally very easy to deal with thin-skinned cruisers.

The first thousand and fifty-six chapters out of the encirclement

There is no morality to deal with the Japanese army. Seeing that the speed of the Chuanuchi dropped sharply, several Jinzhou-class cruisers turned their main guns.After a heavy rain of shells, the Chuanuchi sank to the bottom of the sea helplessly.

The sinking of the Chuanuchi seems to be a signal. As the sailors of the West Special Army fought more and more smoothly, the hit rate continued to increase. Soon, the second-class cruiser Naka and the first-class cruiser Aoba were also sunk. up.The No. 1 shell of the second-class cruiser Yubari was blown into the sky, and the chimney was broken in half, and it was about to be sunk.

Just when Lin Jixun was fighting vigorously and was about to wipe out the Japanese cruiser fleet, a large-caliber artillery shell suddenly fell 500 meters away from the Zhongshan.Although the shell did not pose any threat to the Zhongshan, the huge water column startled them.

Lin Jixun turned his head to look, but found that the four battleships of Wa Kingdom had quietly surrounded them. The two Ise-class ships, Ise and Hyuga, were from the north, and the Nagato-class Nagato and Mutsu were from the south. The attack came over, and the large-caliber shell just now came from the mutsu's sturdy 406mm main gun.

Seeing the opponent's four battleships encircling him, Lin Jixun narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that the situation was definitely not that simple.In addition to the six battleships, the warships that Wa came to this time also had four battlecruisers.Speaking of these battlecruisers, it is also thanks to the blessing of the Western Special Zone.

As the Amagi-class battlecruisers that Japan started construction in 1920, there are a total of four ships, Amagi, Chicheng, Kaohsiung, and Atago. Originally, according to the Washington Naval Treaty, they would be dismantled if they exceeded the specified tonnage.However, in the battle with the West Naval Air Force, a large number of old ships were sunk, which freed up a lot of tonnage.For such a situation, the Japanese Navy was ecstatic, and they immediately devoted themselves to the work of building new ships.Because more new ships were built, they even hid them privately, exceeding the tonnage limit.

Daiwa is a super-standard battleship that is completely privately owned. In addition, after Kaga was converted into an aircraft carrier, its second ship, Tosa, was built as a battleship.That's why Japan can now come up with six new battleships to attack.

Therefore, the Amagi-class battlecruiser continued to be built, but because of the severe damage to the Amagi in the Kanto Earthquake, it could no longer be used, so only three battlecruisers were built, plus the previously imported from the Saar Empire. The King Kong battlecruiser, only now has the share of four ships.

Now Lin Jixun made it clear that he was using kite flying tactics, intending to consume the Japanese cruiser fleet alive.If the Japanese fleet wants to rescue the cruiser fleet, the best choice is to use the battlecruiser of the cruiser buster.Now the opponent is doing the opposite, using battleships to make a rescue, obviously there is something tricky about it.

Lin Jixun asked the radar to re-scan, and he found that on the original route of the Japanese fleet, there were only two big guys left, which were the marks of Daiwa and Tosa, and the four battlecruisers had already circled in a big circle , sailing to the east of the fleet.It is obvious that the Japanese have sinister intentions and plan to use the high speed of the battlecruiser fleet to completely encircle and destroy Lin Jixun's fleet.

Seeing such a situation, Lin Jixun couldn't help sneering. With the presence of the sea warning radar, such a sneak attack at sea is not worth mentioning.If it was in normal times, Lin Jixun would definitely lead the fleet out of battle, and then go around in a big circle to find the air raid cruiser again.But now Lin Jixun's task is to hold back the Japanese United Fleet. He must firmly attract the opponent's attention and buy time for the main force.If after he evacuated, Wa country used the battlecruiser fleet to block him out, but the main fleet accelerated to leave him, there would be nothing he could do.Both sides know the value of the incident, and once that happens, all the previous efforts of the Seat Navy will be in vain.

"Through the gap in front, the whole fleet launches an assault on the Japanese flagship." Lin Jixun made an almost crazy decision. They wanted to pass through the gap in the middle and attack the battleship Daiwa before the four battleships closed the encirclement.This is an almost fatal order, but it is the best order that can hold back the enemy.

When Lin Jixun launched the death charge, Shen Shoukun and Cai Tinggan had jointly issued an order, and all the planes took off immediately.This area is still more than 230 kilometers away from the combined Japanese fleet, which is almost the limit distance for fighter jets and dive bombers, but several naval commanders can no longer wait.

The radio station continued to receive news that Lin Jixun's fleet was desperately fighting, and several commanders were very anxious. They knew that every minute of delay would put Lin Jixun and his subordinates in more danger.In the end, Cai Tinggan came up with a plan. Anyway, all Japanese fighter jets were destroyed, and they could no longer conduct air defense operations.Then simply don't send fighter jets, only let torpedo planes and dive bombers attack.

When the aircraft is dispatched, the aircraft carrier will also approach the theater at a very high speed, which greatly reduces the return distance of the aircraft.In addition, the sea area where the Japanese combined fleet is located is only more than 70 kilometers away from Hualien. Once a plane is injured, you can choose the airport there for an emergency landing.

After rigorous planning, Wang Yongzhi and Yang Wenxie personally led the team, leading nearly 140 torpedo planes and [-] dive bombers into the sky one after another.The various types of aircraft that took off from the eleven aircraft carriers were organized first, and then rushed towards the combined Japanese fleet aggressively.

When the large-scale carrier-based aircraft took off, Lin Jixun was commanding the fleet to run at full power and launch a charge as a whole.The waves rolled over the ship like a flying shuttle, and the snow-white waves dragged far away, showing that the speed of the warship was extremely fast.At this time, the engineers don't care about maintaining the machines anymore. They just know how to hurry up. Only if they are fast enough can they avoid the enemy's shells, and only if they are fast enough can they have a chance of survival.

Lin Jixun's proactive attack disrupted the Japanese army's encirclement plan, and the four battleships on both sides all speeded up, hoping to block the gap before Lin Jixun's fleet crossed.

Concentrated shells fell around, and the mist from the explosion was even stained with a little glow. Lin Jixun was unmoved by all this. He knew in his heart that only by rushing out could he gain the initiative, and only by rushing out could he disrupt the opponent's deployment. Let the flagship of the Japanese army be exposed within its attack range.

With a loud bang, the Yingrui, which was the slowest, was hit hard. A [-]mm shell hit the rear deck of the Yingrui, causing it to jump up suddenly.After the power plant was damaged, there was another big hole in the deck, and the speed of the Yingrui dropped a lot, but the brave sailors were unmoved at all. They still shouted the ruler loudly, and threw shells at the neighboring Japanese army battleship.

Chapter 57 The Banner of the Fathers

The deceleration of Yingrui attracted the firepower of most of the Japanese army, and several large-caliber shells hit the hull almost simultaneously. With the sound of the explosion, Yingrui broke into two pieces from the middle and sank slowly to the bottom of the sea.At the last moment when the cruiser sank, the gunners on the gun positions were still firing desperately until they sank with the ship.

The bravery of the soldiers shocked the Japanese army and gave Lin Jixun a chance to break through.Because the attention was attracted by the Yingrui, the fleet he was able to lead broke through the gap.

"Come out." When he got out from the huge shadow of the Nagato and saw the vast sea, Lin Jixun felt as if he was reborn as a human being.Breaking out of the encirclement at the last moment, Li Jixun immediately led his team to encircle the Dawa.

Accompanying the Daiwa at this time, except for the battleship Tosa, are all destroyers.As a battleship of more than 4 tons, it was difficult for the Tosa to chase these little guys, so the real task of driving them fell on a dozen destroyers.

The Japanese sailors were brave, and more than a dozen destroyers rushed towards Lin Jixun's fleet frantically, vowing to sink them all.The four cruisers opened fire, and cooperated with the five Huxing-class destroyers to launch an anti-siege, intending to kill these ignorant guys.

The cruiser fleet has strong firepower, especially the Chongshan, which was originally built as a battlecruiser. Although the caliber of the main gun is only 203 mm, the caliber of the secondary gun is also 152 mm. They all sank.

There was a loud bang, and the Jiujiang-class Qinzhou cruiser rushing to the rear was hit by a large-caliber shell.The huge shell directly blew up the nearly [-]-ton cruiser into pieces. Everyone didn't even have a chance to jump into the sea to escape, and was directly blown to pieces.

Such a powerful cannonball made everyone stunned. If it was hit directly, even a battleship would be unbearable.At this time, the smoking muzzle of the Daiwa was slightly lowered, and it was obvious that the shelling just now was its masterpiece.

Because the distance is relatively short, the accuracy of this direct shot is very high, and it directly hit the cruiser.The terrifying 460mm cannon is so powerful that even the recoil from a single salvo caused the Daiwa to move nearly 20 meters laterally.The waves blown by the muzzle wind were more than four meters high, and destroyers with a smaller tonnage might be blown over if they got too close.

Lin Jixun's face changed suddenly. He knew that even if he got rid of most of the battleships of the Japanese country, it would be impossible to win against the strongest battleship of the Japanese country, but the pride of being a navy made it impossible for him to back down.With his eyes fixed on the majestic battleship Daiwa, Lin Jixun gritted his teeth and said, "Start a wave of charges and use torpedoes to deal with it."

After Lin Jixun issued the order, he hung a pennant with a yellow background and a red heart on the mast, and leaned against the leader's flag.This flag has a long history. During the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], the gunboat Yangwei led by Lin Jixun's father, Lin Luzhong, happened to be the naval officer on duty that day. fought under this flag.
