Chapter 412: The Battle of Hokkaido, Twenty Years Development Report(1/3)
Chapter 412: Hokkaido naval battle, Twenty-year development report
"Quick, hurry, hurry, bomber is here."[]
"Torpedo, torpedo, turn left rudder 35 degrees, chopping the muff, chopping the muff..."
A US captain's rushing commander's commander was on the sea-level battleship, and the cold sweat fell down his head like rain.
A group of bombers flew overhead, and the anti-aircraft guns on the ship continued to move and fire. After the shells hit the sky, they exploded, forming black fireworks. The fragments of the shells splashed around in the sky, continuously shooting down the bombers of the Imperial Air Force from the sky.
The American captain suddenly heard the sharp whistling sound above his head.
"Bombs are bombs, so the deck staff should be concealed."
"Bang……"
A Haiquan-class battleship next to him suddenly made a loud bang on the deck, and a bomb directly smashed through the thin deck, then made a dull explosion sound, and then the explosion smoke penetrated out of the hull, and the flames were vaguely seen jumping from the inside of the warship.
Many other bombs fell into the sea, and after the explosion, they splashed out rushing water columns.
The captain breathed a sigh of relief. It was not that his warship was shot, but he wanted to go back to the United States to reunite with his family!
"Sheit, who mentioned the shit plan? Now the sneak attack has not been done, and he has also provoked so many big hens to put bombs on us." The captain cursed for a while, and continued to command the warship to attack planes in the sky while dodging bombs and torpedoes.
With a sudden bang, the entire warship was shaking violently.
"Captain, we were shot." The second deputy reported.
"How is the situation? Let's put out the fire."
"The bomb fell from the deck, but it was not a fatal position, so it should be able to continue fighting." said the second deputy.
At this time, the bombers in the sky flew away after they dropped the bombs, and the large torpedo planes were lifted up and flew away after diving, which made everyone in the joint fleet of the British, American and Japanese naval forces breathe a sigh of relief.
In the air strike just now, the joint fleet destroyed nearly one-third of the bombers and torpedo aircraft, and shot down at least 200, but the losses of the entire joint fleet were also very serious.
Six aircraft carriers were bombed and almost completely lost their combat capability because the runway could no longer be used, and the aircraft of these aircraft carriers had no time to fly.
There were also 2 super battleships and 3 super meaningless ships, 2 types of cruisers, 5 light cruisers were sunk, and 13 frigates were sunk.
However, before the US, British and Japanese naval joint fleet could be glad for half a minute, a group of rapidly approaching black dots suddenly appeared in the sky. These black dots covered the sky and were even larger than the first air strike.
"There is a group behind." Suddenly, a sailor screamed in horror.
I saw the fleeting machines in the sky wave after wave, as they got closer, as if they were covering the sky and connecting the sky, and coming like locusts.
There are too many of these planes. It looks like there are at least two thousand.
Everyone's scalp is numb.
A group of American sailors and British sailors were already screaming in horror, while the Japanese sailors were frightened and their hands were trembling, but they were even more implicit and did not scream.
The roar of the engine filled everyone's eardrums at this moment, and the shrill air defense alarm sounded again, and the sailors woke up like a dream and quickly returned to their respective posts.
The anti-aircraft artillery on each warship were firing shells frantically, but there were too many planes in the sky, and they couldn't even beat them.
...
"Captain, the air defense firepower is too strong and the loss is huge."
"No matter how much the loss is, you will have to rush." A strong voice came from the communication station, "Let me listen to it. This battle is related to the destiny of the country. Everyone is ready to serve the country. Let's rush!"
A group of torpedo planes dived without hesitation from the sky. Amid the violent whistling, the bullets fired from the cannons of the warship below crackled like magma.
A torpedo plane was hit, the fuselage was covered with holes, and thick smoke was raised from the engine. The pilot in the cabin was still rushing down without hesitation.
boom!
The entire plane hit the deck of the warship.
Boom...
The explosions were endless, and the torpedoes on the plane exploded one after another in the impact, which immediately blew the warship into a fireboat, and most areas were burning with raging fire.
This was destined to be a tragic air strike. The United States, Britain and Japan combined fleet with complete air defense facilities caused great damage to the Imperial Chinese Air Force participating in the air strike.
However, more and more dive torpedo planes rushed towards the large warships that were firing anti-aircraft shells.
Young faces, with a hint of tension and a hint of determination, threw the torpedo out and crashed into the decks of battleships at the highest speed.
Those super battleships became the most conspicuous targets,
The bombers flying over high altitude kept throwing bombs, and the bombs in the sky fell to the head of the United States, Britain and Japan on the sea like raindrops.
These bombers use the most advanced bomb drop sights, which greatly improves accuracy. Although the hit rate is still less than 10%, it will be terrifying when there are more than 10%.
During the entire air strike, the attacks of the Chinese Empire were at right angles, bombs fell straight from the sky, and torpedoes advanced rapidly on the sea surface.
In order to avoid torpedoes and bombs, the United States, Britain and Japan combined fleet began to disperse its formation.
The resolute attack of the dive torpedo pilots made all the British, American and Japanese Navy personnel frightened, and the entire fleet was no longer brave enough to face such a steady stream of air strikes.
According to Britain, the United States and Japan's estimates, under such strong air defense firepower, no aircraft could pose a threat to the fleet.
But the planes of the Chinese Empire either flew very high or had thick armor, and ordinary fragments could not do anything to these planes.
Only about one-third of the Chinese Empire aircraft involved in the air strike were shot down, and many pilots successfully parachute before the plane crashed into the sea.
Under the intensive bombing and rows of torpedo attacks, the US-British-Japan joint fleet was quickly eliminated. These live forces were precious to the United States-British-Japan. This joint fleet almost concentrated most of the naval main forces of the three countries.
The battle was extremely fierce. This was the largest maritime battle ever. The total naval displacement of the US-British-Japanese joint fleet exceeded 2.8 million tons. This number seemed terrifying, but the displacement of 16 sea power-class battleships alone reached 960,000 tons, and the displacement of 30 super-fair battleships also reached 900,000 tons.
If we follow the naval treaty proposed by the United States in Washington, it will be equivalent to the naval displacement of 28 naval powers.
This is also why both the United States and Britain agreed to Japan's attack on the Imperial Navy.
Such a huge navy would cost a lot of resources just to maintain this navy, and the Chinese Empire was cheating and did not invest resources into the navy.
Such a huge navy has become a heavy burden for the United States, Britain and Japan, so this navy must play a role, otherwise it will be a pile of scrap iron.
In addition, the Chinese Empire did not build so many battleships, which made the United States, Britain and Japan think that defeating the Chinese navy is just a breeze.
After all, the Chinese Navy is a rising star, while the British, American and Japanese Navy are all experienced old navy.
As long as the navy of the Chinese Empire is destroyed, the huge maritime power they have built can exert their due value. After destroying the Chinese Empire's navy, it is equivalent to the Chinese Empire who wants to re-enter the ocean, they have to invest new resources to build a new fleet.
At the same time, the United States, Britain and Japan can also take the initiative in the ocean, which can ensure Japan's security and ensure the supply of the Soviet Union.
The United States wants to let go as a war factory, and the first things they make must be shipped out.
If things cannot be transported out, the war factory will have to go into battle barefoot, and the battlefield will be the mainland of the United States.
But ideas are beautiful, reality is cruel.
Faced with the overwhelming and continuous air strikes, the United States, Britain and Japan jointly began to retreat. If this continues, the entire fleet will be destroyed because many bombers of the Chinese Empire have returned to the airport. Add fuel and hang a bomb to take off and fight again.
In this tragic air strike, the United States, Britain and Japan jointly lost more than half of the naval tonnage, which was even more tragic than the Imperial Chinese Air Force.
However, before, the Chinese Empire's Navy had never appeared.
When the United States, Britain and Japan jointly began to retreat, the Chinese Empire navy appeared behind them, and the United Kingdom, America and Japan jointly retreated in that direction.
Three huge battleships rushed forward with sun and moon flags hanging in front, and their huge hull seemed extremely conspicuous.
However, what frightened the sailors of the United States, Britain and Japan's joint naval was the speed of the three big guys, which was conservatively estimated to be at least more than thirty knots.
“There are definitely more than thirty-four sections.”
An experienced British officer looked at the three battleships that appeared sixteen or seventeen kilometers away with a telescope and said in horror, cold sweat flowing down his forehead.
Fifteen kilometers!
The three Chinese Empire super battleships slowed down and then turned their rudders, aiming at the United States, Britain and Japan's joint navy.
Five well-preserved super battleships of the sea power class rushed to the front and aimed their muzzles at the three Chinese Empire super battleships in the distance, Qi Jiguang, Yue Fei and Wei Qing.
All...
The sound of cannons came from fifteen kilometers away, and the three battleships slowly sailed suddenly opened fire. The 27 450mm super naval guns on the three battleships ejected strong flames, and nearly three thousand kilograms of giant armor-piercing bombs shot out and flew towards the Japanese Yamato battleship advancing fifteen kilometers away.
The Yamato, who is moving forward, has no idea that danger is coming. After all, the distance between the two sides is 15 kilometers, and it is generally difficult to be hit.
After the shells flew for ten seconds, shells fell from the sky, and most of the shells fell around the Yamato. However, suddenly a shell hit the Yamato's navy turret. The thick armor seemed to be easily penetrated in front of the giant armor-piercing bullet.
boom……
After a loud bang, the entire Yamato turret was cut off and flew to a high altitude under the explosion.
However, this is just the beginning.
In just an instant, five more shells hit the Yamato, one directly from the deck to the bottom of the ship, and a huge hole was blown out at the bottom of the ship.
The sea water began to frantically pour into the Yamato battleship.
With 27 shells and 6 shots, the Yamato was beaten like a sieve and quickly sank into the sea on the spot.
The fierce firepower and super high hit rate of the three Chinese Empire super battleships made the sailors and officers on other warships of the US, British and Japanese Combined Fleet gasp.
Too perverted!
"Luck, it must be just luck."
Five seconds, just five seconds later, three super meaningless ships opened fire again, while the super meaningless ships of the United States, Britain and Japan have not yet been adjusted and a single shell has not been fired.
In addition, the shells had been flying for ten seconds before, and the fifteen-second loading speed can only be said to be too scary.
To be continued...
