Chapter 957 The enemy plane is behind me
"Don't naval warfare be won by relying solely on giant ships and cannons! The equipment of the Chinese Beiyang Navy was stronger than our empire back then, wasn't it defeated by us? Later, the Russians' Pacific Fleet was also stronger than the empire, but was defeated by us. Brave and ability are the invincible reliances of the empire!" Toyota Junwu shouted with a stern face.
In the command tower of the Kaga aircraft carrier, the commanders of the Japanese ships sitting straight up on both sides had heavy expressions on their faces.
The technical characteristics of the navy make it impossible for the generals of the Japanese Navy, who accept Western civilization, to pull their IQ to the point of being fanatical young people because of Hirohito's instructions. They still have a rough understanding of the next confrontation with the Chinese Navy.
After the Japanese rule, they seemed to have gathered 2 battleships, 2 aircraft carriers and 4 cruisers, but in fact they have a lot of moisture.
The more than 30,000 tons of USS Fusang battleship was already an old-fashioned warship in World War I. After three transformations, its performance was still worse than that of mainstream battleships.
It was incorporated into the reserve fleet in 38 years and was mainly responsible for the training of officers and soldiers. It has been away from the battlefield for a long time.
Considering the threat of the Chinese Navy in the Whale Sea and feeling that the Chinese Navy is still at the level of a novice, the Japanese focused on the training of officers and soldiers and trainees in the Whale Sea.
Thanks to this arrangement, after the main battleships defending the Whale Sea ran to support Kyushu Island and Hokkaido, several main battleships could be found from the training grounds.
Another battleship is also responsible for some training tasks.
After the King Kong battleship escaped under the vanguard cannon, not only the remaining crew members above were collectively nervously collapsed, but the entire hull was also seriously damaged and almost scrapped.
After a lot of repairs, there are still some hidden dangers in structure, and a big storm may even make it fall into the sea. Therefore, after returning to service, it only cruises offshore in Japan and does not dare to go far. Finally, after a large number of Nagato-level and Yamato-level service, it is also included in the reserve fleet and is often used for training.
There were many new recruits on the two warships, and many students.
Although the Japanese are confident that the level of the recruits and cadets they strictly selected is better than that of the regular Chinese navy, they do not have much confidence in the performance of warships.
Even though China has not found the naval forces invested by Wakasa Bay, it has been clear that there are at least two battleships and two aircraft carriers.
The battleships against China were about Fusang and King Kong, but according to Japanese intelligence, China's battleships were either Zhenyuan-class or Dream-class. Where was there a weak one?
I heard that the fantasy level similar to the Yamato-level and the H-level fantasy level produced by the counterfeit company are not as strong as the dream level equipped with a 500mm caliber cannon. Even in the Battle of the English-German Navy at Cape Roca, the fantasy level performance is far inferior to that of the Zhenyuan level.
Even the Yamato-level is not good, and it is far from being able to fight against old warships like Fusang and King Kong, and it is even more ineffective, even 2-on-1.
"We have an aircraft carrier! There is also the Kaga." A Japanese officer said unwillingly.
Since the Kaga was almost sunk by China and dragged its body back to the local area, it was finally repaired and released. If it weren't for the urgent use of the front line, the seriously damaged Kaga might have to stay in Kobe Kawasaki Shipyard for a while.
The newly renovated Kaga is still in the trial period and is arranged to be near Sado Island and Niigata. It will escort and supervise the gold produced in Sado Island and arrange to join the Jinliri plan.
Now the situation is in crisis and has been drawn out to deal with the Chinese Navy.
After a series of modified Kaga, both the equipment and the officers and soldiers are the most regular among these warships. Although the number of carrier-based aircraft is not large, they are all new fighter jets such as Liefeng, Tianshan, Comet.
For these new fighter jets, HNA Japan sent out a team of coaches and officers composed of ace elites, and even the students above were already among the top rookies.
The Japanese put in so much energy to prepare to use the Resurrection Kaga to deal with the current crisis of shortage of aircraft carriers by the Japanese. The Japanese also gave great hope to the main force of this aircraft carrier at that time, and at this time it became the greatest hope for the Japanese to resolve the Wakasa Bay crisis.
As for another aircraft carrier, the Seahawk, it has been responsible for training and transportation since it was converted into an aircraft carrier. Most of the students above are recruits and rookies and cannot be used as real warships.
And it will also face the challenges of China's aircraft carrier.
Although the Japanese Navy kept belittling the Chinese Navy and even ignored the mother after China won the East China Sea Navy, the strength of the Chinese Air Force still made the Japanese a little worried.
The air force that rushed from nearby to rescue did not gain the upper hand in Wakasa Bay.
You should know that after being bombed by China, the Japanese intercepted fighter jets in their local area were not comparable to those rookies. The air force that mainly relies on the strength of aircraft carriers to support shows that China HNA's strength cannot be underestimated.
These four leading warships are not cheaper than China, let alone the four Japanese cruisers that are said to be more than 7 large cruisers in Wakasa Bay.
The number of destroyers is also incomparable to China. Other small warships are not even enough for China's destroyers to clean up.
As for those civilian ships that were launched, they were pure cannon fodder and could only hope for miracles.
After careful comparison, the commanders of the Japanese Navy did not have the confidence to win.
"Any miracle can happen in a naval battle, and just one torpedo can change everything! The Chinese navy is at most just the level of elementary school students. Do you have to watch these novices show off their power in front of the empire's honor flag?" Toyota Juntake glanced at the worried people and couldn't help shouting again.
"Be loyal to the empire, and do not hesitate to break up!" A commander responded very tactfully, which aroused the shouts of everyone.
Toyota Juntake nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's still unknown who will win this battle! We still have secret weapons!"
...
"Discover the Japanese brigade fighter fleet! The number exceeds a hundred!" The Qi Jiguang Kirov airship at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters had discovered another air counterattack of the Japanese early, and immediately issued an alarm to the Chinese Navy, which was preparing to deal with the Japanese reinforcement of the naval fleet.
"Be prepared for combat!" Chen Guan, who was in charge of the commander-in-chief, immediately issued various instructions on the third-level fearless battleship.
The F2 Banshee reconnaissance aircraft on the Midway-class aircraft carrier Tarzan took the lead and went to investigate more specific information. The fuel and bombs began to be unloaded from the elevator. Pirates and Hellcats were also ready for takeoff. Fighters took off from time to time, enhancing and replacing the overall strength of the fighter formations of air guards.
"Enemy aircraft formation has been discovered, and new enemy fighters have been discovered!" The Banshee reconnaissance plane soon received the message.
The Banshee reconnaissance aircraft was modified based on the F1 Furious carrier-based fighter. It is already a standard jet fighter. Moreover, the F2 itself is also an extremely powerful carrier-based bomber with excellent combat capabilities and extremely fast speed. As soon as it hits the Japanese fighter fleet, it throws the Japanese Caiyun reconnaissance aircraft coming behind and rushes to the Japanese fighter formation.
Although the Banshee reconnaissance aircraft has not exceeded the speed of sound, its speed is beyond the reach of the Japanese fighter jets. Pilot Liu Chunhai ignored the fire snake sweeping out of the Caiyun reconnaissance aircraft that was not convinced in the rear, but focused on observing the specific number of Japanese fighter jets and the newly incorporated more than 30 new fighter jets.
Liu Chunhai kept passing through various Japanese fighter models. With the manufacturing of bases, not to mention pictures, even physical fighter jets are not short of them. As a reconnaissance who is familiar with various types of fighter jets, he is very confident in his memory. After every battle, all kinds of abnormalities that appear in the battle summary are also a must-know for an excellent air investigator. He finally confirmed that the new type of fighter jet was the first time he appeared.
But he still got along with a photo in his mind.
"It's very similar to the purple electric modification that the Japanese are developing!" He passed on his judgment with a little hesitation.
Meng Xiang didn't want to show it too much. Some of the Japanese secret weapons were shocking enough to produce some photos and models, so the Zi Electric Fighter has not yet revealed the physical objects. At most, in the middle and high-level training grounds of the Weapons Research Institute, Liu Chunhai can only see photos and some text and pictures. From a distance, it is not very certain.
"It's clearer to get closer!" He was unwilling to get closer again.
But then two fighter jets rushed out of the formation and headed straight for him.
When their 8 20 cannons opened fire together and made holes on the banshee's wings, Liu Chunhai finally judged that this was the Purple Electric Change on the fighter that looked like a little purple electric 11.
"The enemy's new fighter is very likely to be a Zi Electric fighter." Liu Chunhai pulled up the fighter and stepped up his efforts to break away while reporting.
The scout can express his own judgment as a reference so as not to be able to convey information in time and delay the opportunity to fight, but cannot make a final judgment to avoid misleading the commander's judgment. The camera function of the reconnaissance aircraft is enough to record the images of these new fighter aircraft. Once back, professionals will naturally carefully compare and make the final judgment.
"Be careful of enemy aircraft, they are very fast!" A staff officer on the opposite side also knew some of the data of Zidian Reform and couldn't help but worry.
"The enemy plane is already behind me. None of them can catch up with me!" Liu Chunhai glanced sideways at Caiyun and Zidianai who were chasing her desperately behind her, and couldn't help but laugh. (To be continued...)
