The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Chapter 1024 Iowa-class battleship, first battle 1!

The blood in Major General Mitchell's body seemed to be on fire, and the hot stream started to boil from his heart, and spread to the whole body instantly with the powerful pumping of the heart, so that the thin summer military uniform felt like a burden. Streams of hot air are released through the pores!

He has been waiting for this day for a long, long time!

The U.S. Navy, in the world, has never had great military exploits and a brilliant reputation.

America had not yet been born when the Spanish enemy fleet was sailing across the Atlantic.While the global arming of the British Empire slumped the title of the 300-year-old sun never sets, the United States was just emerging from civil war on its way to unity.

When the world's top echelon powers fought to the death from the European battlefield, and the Battle of Jutland completely reversed the strategic situation, the U.S. Navy was nothing but a huge skeleton body, but it drew its sword and looked around in a daze, unable to find it. An object that can let go and fight!

It can be said that for a hundred years, the U.S. Navy has not lived up to its name.On the contrary, when it was at its strongest, a backward and decadent nation in the east that was despised by all the countries hurriedly established a new navy in less than ten years.

Mitchell just missed such a humiliating battle because he was the assistant director of Naval Aviation, but it by no means meant that he couldn't empathize.Kimmel, Hart, Nimitz, Fletcher, Spruance and a large number of shining generals all missed and were humiliated by love. This account was severely engraved on his In my heart, I dreamed that I must get back the place and take revenge fiercely!

Today, the opportunity finally came!

He, Rear Admiral Mark Mitchell, will lead the unprecedentedly powerful US Navy aircraft carrier formation, and use the flames of revenge to destroy the fleet that represents China's powerful maritime power.Complete annihilation! [

action!

The entire 19th Fleet suddenly broke the silence of the wires, and issued an order to attack with a previously designed secret code.

Instantly.On the turbulent and dark sea, it seems that a huge volcano is recovering. More than 100 U.S. ships were fully powered, all their muzzles were raised, and the group of destroyers circling in a camouflage parade completely accelerated their terrible speed of 35 knots at the lowest and nearly 40 knots at the highest. , from all directions, like a mad shark.Pounce fiercely on the sea area where the heavy cruiser is releasing "fireworks" wantonly!

Not only here, but also the branch fleet that has already met with the remaining fleet on the right, and went to Yangon for reinforcements.Form another mighty fleet and set off, head towards the northern part of the Bay of Bengal, the rear of the South China Sea Fleet, and outflank it at full speed!

In order to prevent being intercepted, the U.S. military deciphered the wire signal.He made up a lot of codes painstakingly, only sent them out briefly, and then continued to be silent, what to do next, all the ships.All clear!

The seemingly chaotic formation of the US military quickly changed its appearance.The destroyer at the forefront gathered a total of 20 destroyers in one breath, and shot towards the center at the fastest speed, and released the torpedoes at a distance of more than 200 kilometers. In just a few minutes , There are as many as [-] different types of torpedoes, which release their speed on the water surface and shallow water respectively, and shoot them out recklessly!

They didn't even see the target clearly, or simply didn't care about the target or not. There is only one way to do this. As long as you are in that area, just wait for the torpedo!

More than 200 pieces!From the beginning to the end, the maximum distance between each other is a huge cross-section of [-] kilometers, and they are besieged in the middle. At the end of the voyage, there is almost a convergence of three to five kilometers. After that, they will cross each other, forming an x ​​shape and continuing to spread If you miss the target, or run out of fuel and sink to the bottom, never give up!

This kind of practice is actually very dangerous, because if you don't pay attention, you may accidentally injure your own people, but the U.S. military did not hesitate at all.Compared with the one-in-a-million probability, what they value more is the chance to deal a heavy blow to the hidden enemy.Even if they only hit ten hits, they will make a lot of money!

On the radar screen scanning the sea, more than 200 target light spots suddenly popped up, and the radar officer let out a strange cry, almost thinking that he had read it wrong, but he knew it was impossible, so there was only one result, the Americans Become crazy!

Hearing the report, Chen Ce laughed angrily, and snorted, "Good! Good! Good! The Americans have a way! Relying on a lot of money and a lot of boats, they are not afraid of wasting "medicine". It's a dream! I want to see if you have more torpedoes or I have more cannons! Intercept!"

Destroyers and cruisers guarding the left, respond together!Facing the signal source on the water surface that accelerated rapidly for more than forty knots, a group of induced rockets were launched first, and at a distance of about 5000 meters to 7000 meters, rumbling explosions formed an uninterrupted fire net. Countless noise sources were created, luring the torpedoes equipped with acoustic seekers, and they rushed over by mistake.

These are just some of them.Crazy Americans released at once, including the most primitive guided collision torpedo, the sound torpedo successfully developed by talented people, and a very dangerous magnetic conduction torpedo that might kill you!

There are four or five kinds of waiting, mixed together, scrambling to go out together, one catches the other, in short, let the other party taste the pain, and at the same time, waste their blocking firepower so much that they can't spare their hands!Block their other tricks!

It's not just destroyers who act together.Rear Admiral Mitchell was born in command of an aircraft carrier, and his level and experience in using naval aviation is among the best in the U.S. Navy! [

The torpedo of the destroyer on the front foot was launched, and the ship followed at full speed to besiege. On the back foot, groups of carrier-based planes swarmed into the sky, forming night attack formations one by one, and pounced on the same direction. In just a few minutes, unexpectedly Formed a rare attacking stance of the trinity of underwater, surface and air!

At this moment, there are as many as 300 units attacking the South China Sea Fleet, not much more!In the absence of firing naval guns, the number standard for super-saturated attacks has been reached!

Compared with the South China Sea Fleet, which only has dozens of warships, their strikes are really intensive enough.

And that's not all, two Iowa-class battleships and four heavy cruisers formed the second wave.Moving forward at the same full speed, all the turrets are placed horizontally as the hull turns.Staring at it, aiming at the waters thirty kilometers away.

Destroyer of the South Sea Fleet.Heavy cruisers, light cruisers, all interception and defense systems are fully operational!One is a 36-tube anti-submarine rocket nest, which spews twice the number of torpedoes. The twenty or thirty sound torpedoes rushing to the front are first detonated, and the rumbling explosion fireballs rise in a row. Like little suns blooming in the dark night.The brilliant light illuminates the 300-meter-high water column soaring into the sky, shining brightly, billowing gunpowder smoke, and rumbling loudly.Move the tide, the crest surges!

"Found a suspected audio torpedo!"

The sea search radar on the heavy cruiser caught the unusual explosion, and made an assessment based on the established strategy in the database to give an early warning.

Chen Ce's gaze narrowed slightly, and he nodded thoughtfully: "It's interesting! It seems that the foreign devils have not stopped their research on weapons. They are catching up very fast! Well, just about to see and see, their level What kind of standard can be achieved! Continue to verify!"

The "Iron Curtain" system of the heavy cruiser and the multiple rockets of the light cruiser can be quickly replaced with special guns and rockets.Immediately afterwards, continue to launch towards the rapidly approaching arc-shaped front line!After more than ten seconds, hundreds of heads exploded one after another, but it was not the previous explosion, but shelled one by one, revealing a small umbrella like lighting inside, and a long round tumbling device hanging on it , swaying, plopping into the water.

These devices are only about the size of a warm flat tank, and they have a certain degree of buoyancy. They float on the water surface and sink with the waves. However, after the electronic equipment inside is activated, it emits bursts of extremely high-frequency howling. It sounds like when the propeller of the battleship is running at full speed, the fine bubbles stirred up by the cutting sea water are squeezed, and there is a rapid and dense bursting sound!

The launching of all battleships stopped suddenly, and all the lookout posts and observation equipment were staring at the places where the signal sources fell. It didn't take long before dozens of explosion flashes suddenly lit up, followed by thunderous explosions. The roar of the fire rolled in, and the huge water column was as dense as a jungle---another batch of torpedoes were detonated!

"That's right! The Americans must have successfully researched the acoustic torpedo! It seems that they can't be allowed to come close to launch in the future, it's too dangerous!"

The detonation was successful, but the result was not optimistic!The simulation of those baits is not real after all, and the working hours will not be too long, but they actually detonated the torpedo, so the sensitivity of American electronic equipment is quite amazing!

Chen Ce did not change his face, and said calmly: "As expected! The world's largest country does not have two brushes, so it is strange! Continue to clean up the rest! Move quickly, don't let their warships surround you! "

The U.S. destroyers following the torpedo charge have all entered the radar scanning range, densely packed, in groups, and constantly maneuvering at high speeds, changing positions. It is clear that they have long been prepared for shelling or guided bombardment. shrewd!

He didn't want to occupy all the power of the battleship in order to deal with the countless torpedoes, and force them into melee combat. In that case, both sides would suffer!

Zhu Bin personally participated in the design and construction of cruisers and destroyers, all focusing on both air defense and anti-submarine capabilities. Only the main guns of heavy cruisers and battleships are the main attackers.Of course, this is a comparison with their own various abnormal weapons.Compared with the armed forces of other countries, it appears extraordinarily balanced and ferocious.

Up to now, the destroyers of all countries, including the United States, dare not say that they are all-powerful, and most of them are still the concept of the older generation. The emphasis is on strengthening the main gun, the distribution of multiple turrets, and the equipment of anti-aircraft weapons, which are still not up to the first batch of China The extent of the destroyer.

As for anti-submarine technology, they are even worse.Not to mention rocket interception systems, sound induction and other high-end goods, even ordinary hedgehogs and deep water bombs are not all equipped.

But in Zhu Jiajun and the Chinese navy, don't expect to find such loopholes.As an auxiliary escort force for aircraft carriers and battleships, they are well prepared for the most threatening torpedoes and air strikes!

After just a few rounds of launching, the group of torpedoes has approached within less than five kilometers, and has reached the maximum speed - close to fifty knots!Moreover, because the launch density is too high, and it is fired from a semi-enclosed arc array, it is completely impossible to evade with mobility!

Fortunately, the heavy and light patrols of the escort, as well as half of the destroyers, are equipped with hard-kill blocking systems.The transducers and deep rocket launchers lined up along the side of the ship are staggered in a fan shape, when the torpedo approaches about 2500 meters.Continuous firing, covering a frontage as wide as 300 meters and a depth of about 120 meters at one time.The impact zone formed by the sudden explosion will destroy all the torpedoes that hit it!

But at this moment, the first batch of U.S. night fighters also approached!They are divided into three levels, the highest group is 15 kilometers away at an altitude of more than 6000 meters, and they project the simple gliding bombs mounted under the wings towards the ships that are constantly emitting fire.Then pause for a while, followed by a dive!

The second level, below the altitude of 3000 meters, is composed of night fighters with the highest maneuverability.Follow closely behind the glider bomb, maintain a similar inclined trajectory, and dive while accelerating!

The third level is never more than a few hundred meters high.After long-distance acceleration, they reached nearly the maximum low-altitude level flight speed. A pair of twin-engine heavy fighter jets, with strips of torpedoes mounted on their belly, suddenly passed over the head of their own destroyer and stuck to the sea.Chase the torpedo that is about to reach the end, precisely aim at each ship, cast, assault!

In an instant, the joint attack force of the US military expanded from the third floor to the sixth floor!

Even Chen Ce couldn't have expected this move at all. He stood up suddenly in shock, and blurted out: "Good guy! How did you practice this move? There is a set! Order the battleship, and you can go into battle! Anyway, Can't let the Yankee succeed!"

He originally thought that relying on the powerful power of cruisers and destroyers alone, he could finish the battle without any pressure, but now it seems that he was too optimistic.Americans, if they are not sure and prepared, how can they easily run out to seek death?

All the gunfire of the cruiser and the destroyer went madly to the air. For the first time, the entire crew felt that there was not enough manpower, and the powerful intelligent fire control unit also had to temporarily borrow the calculation redundancy of the aircraft carrier and battleship to move at full speed. Handling of super-saturation attacks that exceed preset standards.

The fighters with the most obvious targets were shot down first in succession.The joint area anti-aircraft artillery fire under the intelligent fire control operation forms a killing grid, which can accurately hit the aircraft with a single turret, and the 40mm anti-aircraft gun at a high rate of fire is also unambiguous.

But the threat they are facing now is not just planes!Hidden gliding bombs and torpedoes are all things that can kill you!

For the first time, flames erupted from the cabins of the two battleships!Equipped with the same equipment as nuclear-powered guided cruisers, the "Dandelion" mother-in-law guides specially used to deal with high-altitude and high-speed target interception sent out a total of eight pieces in a row!It rushed to supersonic speed in an instant, and released the bullet when it was "pressing" into the outer defense chain. The radar array integrated with sea and air scanned, and immediately blasted the fastest glider and screened it out!

The unique attack priority design of the Dandelion Guide comes into play immediately, the small sub-guides dexterously rush towards the thick gliding bomb with a speed exceeding Mach 07, collide and detonate one by one!The pieces collapsed and flew, viciously piercing through the shell of the bomb, and even detonated. When it exploded in the air, the terrifying wind wave caused by the hundreds of kilograms of high explosives had a radius of several hundred meters in a rush, and the following planes were forced to die. overthrow!

On the surface of the sea, all the destroyers, shooting wildly, while maneuvering to intercept at high speed, have almost exerted their greatest performance since they were built, with more than half the crew of the US military, and they are busy without touching the ground , the automatic installation was empty in a blink of an eye, and the manual conversion in the "medicine" warehouse was too late!

Everyone's attention was drawn to this broad arc-shaped front. The U.S. military advanced rapidly, and the multi-faceted siege formation also compressed and advanced extremely quickly as all the torpedoes reached the limit of range. Following the exposure of the Chinese ships one after another, the formation of the formation was judged, and the two Iowa-class battleships also led the crowd out, followed closely behind, and entered the range of the main guns!

"Boom! Boom...!"

Another group of torpedoes were detonated!Most of them are direct-firing torpedoes without any guidance, rushing as fast as a blind man, diving into the intercepting fire net, and exploding!And sandwiched inside, the magnetic conduction torpedoes with the most complex technology can't find the target---all the ships of the Chinese navy are degaussed regularly, and the steel for ships smelted is not comparable to other countries. This type of situation has been taken into consideration.

But their mission has been completed. They really occupy and consume all the manpower and resources of intercepting cruisers and destroyers, and together with the dive fighters, they have won precious approach time!

The few gliding bombs that broke through the interception also fell one after another!Most of them smashed towards the first "exposed" heavy cruiser. The ones that were most likely to hit were killed one by one by the near-defense guns, but the heavy cruiser that exploded nearby caused the waves to shake violently , people can't stand still, all the guns are naturally empty, let a few fighters break through and rush in!

"Stop them!"

The whole ship was tense!They never thought that it would be so dangerous today!Such a powerful defensive firepower, such an advanced technology, was almost overwhelmed by a group of backward broken gadgets, how could this be possible!China has never had a capital ship sunk, and they must not become a precedent!

At this moment, two Iowa-class battleships locked on the target far away, couldn't wait, and opened fire first!
