Chapter 1650 Victory in the First Battle
The best defense is offense, and that's what Xu Huandong did.

On the surface, the speed of the "Zhenhai" ship is much faster than that of battleships, but because Xu Huandong didn't consider that there would be battleships in the devil fleet, it is very difficult to escape from its range at this time:
The top speed of the battleship is 27 knots, and the top speed of the "Zhenhai" ship is 34 knots.

Assuming that both are running at the highest speed, the speed difference is only 7 knots, and it takes 50 minutes to cover a distance of ten kilometers.

In short, not only the "Zhenhai" ship, but also other warships are also likely to be sunk one by one under the bombing of the devil battleship.

Therefore, the naval battle was not as simple as imagined. The disadvantage of the coastal defense regiment was still that there was no aerial reconnaissance. As a result, they did not know it when they entered the range of the devil battleship.

Therefore, Xu Huandong knew right away that he had to fight back, and the target should be the Devil battleship.

As for the devil's other warships, such as the devil's Miaoko and the destroyer, the maximum range of its artillery is less than 30 kilometers and cannot reach the coastal defense regiment, so it can be temporarily put aside.

Xu Huandong grabbed the microphone in the shaking warship and ordered: "Except for the 'Zhenhai' ship, all warships are free to fire missiles at enemy battleships!"

The reason why the order emphasizes "except the 'Jinhae' ship" is because the "Jinhae" ship at this time is not suitable for launching missiles.

This is not to say that the "Zhenhai" ship has no time to respond to the snake-like maneuver.

There are more than 200 people on a warship, and those who drive the ship are responsible for launching the missiles, and they do not interfere with each other.

However, at this time, the "Zhenhai" ship was being chased and bombed by the devil battleships, and huge waves were thrown around it from time to time, making the ship extremely unstable.

It is very dangerous to launch a missile when the hull is unstable. It may cause the missile to lose its balance and lose control the moment it is launched, and it may even hit the deck directly.

This is also the reason why the modern Asan aircraft carrier kept "nodding" during sea trials, and the military fans complained.

When the aircraft carrier "nods" while sailing, the carrier-based aircraft is basically in a state of being unable to take off, because the moment the carrier-based aircraft takes off, no matter whether the carrier deck is "lowering its head" or "raising its head", it will bring great danger to the carrier-based aircraft : "Down" will give the carrier-based aircraft a downward speed to pull it into the sea, and "raise the head" will give the carrier-based aircraft an almost vertical upward speed and instantly throw it into the air. Destruction.

Therefore, Ah San's aircraft carrier can basically take off and land carrier-based aircraft only when it is stationary or sailing at a low speed on calm seas.

Thinking about World War II, Yingjiang's aircraft carrier was already able to scramble to take off heavy bombers to bomb Tokyo in the wind and waves, and the gap is clear at a glance.

In other words, the superficial data of the Asan aircraft carrier looks good, but its combat effectiveness is likely to be inferior to that of Yingjiang's aircraft carrier during World War II.

At this time, the missile is almost a small plane, so of course there is such a problem, so Xu Huandong didn't dare to take this risk.

Several other warships immediately prepared anti-ship missiles after hearing the order... In fact, the warships were already ready before that.

They have no other options. Although the main guns have not been dismantled, the range is not enough to bomb the Devils battleships, and the torpedoes are too far away to have a very low hit rate, so only anti-ship missiles can work.

Following the order of the captains of each ship, more than ten missiles were fired from four "Fury" class destroyers in succession in one side of the smoke: each ship fired two or three missiles, and a total of eleven missiles were fired.

Seeing this, Toshihei Inoguchi, who was holding up the binoculars and looking triumphantly at Toshihei Inoguchi who was fleeing in a hurry, could not help but change his expression, and hurriedly shouted: "Prepare for air defense!"

However, it was too late at this time, and the Devil's anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were not ready at all.

This is not to say that Toshihei Inoguchi was careless, but that all the devil crew members were careless.

But we can't blame them. This is a ship-to-ship battle. The Eighth Route Army fleet doesn't have planes, not even seaplanes, so why air defense?

On the other hand, the "Musashi" battleship is the pride of the empire, but it has always been questioned... Those guys who talk about the aircraft carrier think that it is better to spend a lot of money to build the "Musashi" than to produce several aircraft carriers, and they also say that the "Musashi" It is a "vase" that is not useful.

(Note: The cost of the "Musashi" was 277760000 yen. At that time, the cost of an aircraft carrier was about 87233000 yen, that is, the cost of the "Musashi" battleship was worth three aircraft carriers)
Now, it is finally time for the name of the "Musashi" to be corrected, and it will use a brilliant victory to sternly stop those "rumors"!
Therefore, the devil crew members on the ship watched the battle with great interest on the deck. The naval guns of various calibers were in a state of readiness, but the anti-aircraft firepower basically stopped.

If the battleship "Musashi" is prepared, to be honest, these eleven missiles may not be able to approach it or only a small number of it will approach it.

Because the "Musashi" is equipped with terrifying 130 25MM anti-aircraft guns after the anti-aircraft firepower is strengthened, and the middle part is densely packed like a hedgehog, and there are triple-mounted 25MM anti-aircraft guns everywhere.

Under normal circumstances, it would be quite good if two or three of the eleven missiles of the Eighth Route Army came over and hit them. But at this time, because of the slackness of the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower, they rushed to their guns when they received Toshihei Inoguchi's order. bit to reload it.

The distance between the two ships is only more than 300 kilometers, and the anti-ship missile travels at more than 6 kilometers per hour. In theory, it only takes less than [-] minutes to arrive.

However, because the missile has a process of taking off, climbing and then diving, and the speed during the take-off stage has not reached the maximum, it took about seven and a half minutes for the whole process.

On the "Musashi" side, only thirty or so fast-moving anti-aircraft guns on the entire ship responded, and when the others just aimed their muzzles at the target, they saw missiles roaring towards them, followed by a burst of "boom boom" , Groups of flames erupted on the deck of the "Musashi".

A total of seven anti-ship missiles hit the "Musashi", and the remaining four were either shot down by devils or failed to hit.

But of course, these missiles cannot sink the Japanese battleship... The "Musashi" is a tough thing. It is said that when it was sunk, it suffered a total of 20 torpedoes, 17 bombs, and 18 near-miss bombs.

(Note: The so-called "nearest bullet" means that it does not directly hit the target, but it is very close to the target and causes a certain amount of damage to the target)

However, there were more than a hundred casualties on the "Musashi", most of whom were fanatics who planned to witness the glory of "Musashi" on the deck.

At that moment, Toshihiro Inoguchi was dumbfounded. He watched the fire on the warship and the casualties all over the place. It took him a long time to curse angrily: "Bastard! The Eighth Route Army actually moved the anti-ship missiles to the warship!"
