The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

() In the rippling East China Sea, dozens of ships from the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy are arranged in a complex formation with a width of [-] kilometers. Four "Kii-class" battleships are staggered forward and backward, forming a sharp attack front , the triple-mounted turret pointed the muzzle of the black hole to the right, and the entire fleet entered a state of alert!

Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi, the commander, raised his head and listened to the continuous "humming" roar in the air, with a faint smile on his face.That was the fighter planes of the Imperial Air Force taking advantage of the night to attack thousands of miles towards the capital of China.I believe that they will be able to succeed, and it is worthwhile for me to lead the brave naval soldiers under my command to work hard. "",hand type

However, it is difficult to guess whether he can return to the mainland smoothly, because about [-] kilometers in front of him, the East China Sea Fleet, which has just cleaned up the old, weak, sick and disabled in the First Fleet, is setting up a posture to block the way.The two "Taishan-class" battleships that have made great contributions have already reached the standard here, ready to attack at any time!

"We want to fight at night! Those guys must have considerable confidence to do this. Do they think that my fleet will be so vulnerable?"

Nan Yunzhong raised the corner of his lips, revealing a slight sarcasm.It is simply whimsical!As we all know, the Imperial Japanese Navy is good at night battles, especially now, the Second Fleet with four powerful battleships is by no means comparable to what it was a few years ago.Switch to their battle in the South China Sea six years ago, using various circumstances to successfully attack, resulting in the loss of the attack fleet.But now, stop delusional!Search "" to see the latest chapter

The news from Commander Yamamoto of the First Fleet has confirmed that the opponent has a secret powerful weapon that can strike at a long distance, even more amazing than the battleship's main gun.Nagumo Chuichi believed that his strengthened "Ki-class" battleship was absolutely sure to block the opponent's blow!

Not to mention anything else, just the thickest 350mm armor belt on the side.The armor on the upper deck is at least 120mm and the maximum is 180mm, which is already very strong.And, on this basis, a thick layer of Kevlar-wrapped fiberglass, at least 100mm thick, is laid instead of teak boards.This adds up to a strong structure nearly 300mm thick, plus a second layer of at least 50mm of horizontal armor.Even if it is an armor-piercing shell of a giant cannon, if the angle is not enough, don't even think about piercing it!

So, are their powerful weapons still useful?Hmph, maybe?Moreover, I have enough time to kill them completely!Four against two, no suspense!

The last wave of fighter planes passed by in the sky, and the roar faded away, and Nagumo Zhongyi felt a faint joy in his heart.Taking a deep breath, he ordered in a deep voice: "Attention all, according to the predetermined battle plan, attack the enemy fleet in front of you!"

At the top of the mast tower, the signal light quickly issued the order, and a short burst of light flashed alternately on the calm sea, and then.The four "Kii-class" battleships accelerated to 30 knots and came out more, forming a diamond-shaped line with a distance of one nautical mile.Cut towards the front of the East China Sea Fleet!

Fifty kilometers away, on the flagship of the "Songshan", Wang Wenda hung up the phone, pushed aside the chart, and lazily sighed: "Our boss Zhu is really dark enough, just to kill the little devil." There is vitality. I don’t hesitate to let them jump one after another, and I am not afraid of playing with the fire and making a basket!”

The chief of staff, Fu Zhenhua, had a straight military uniform, combed his hair meticulously, and said with a smile on his face: "Only extraordinary people can do extraordinary things. If you are not fully sure, the big boss will not let go easily. It's a pity that Ri himself can't see through the truth. If you continue to be so obsessed with mistakes, you will be to blame for being cheated to death. Well, shouldn't we also take the initiative?"

Wang Wenda took off his military cap, scratched his scalp, and said hesitantly, "We still have to wait! The main reason is that the Beihai and Nanhai sides are not in place yet. If the attack is too fierce, it will be difficult to startle the little devil. We can't just chase after him right now." They landed and fought. This matter is delayed!"

Fu Zhenhua nodded, which was what he should have meant.According to the plan, the three major fleets will encircle and lock the second fleet of the Japanese army firmly in the East China Sea, leaving them nowhere to escape.Opportunities are rare and cannot be missed.

In order to confuse the Japanese army to the greatest extent, the North Sea Fleet has been wandering in the waters of the Yellow Sea, and it will take time to rush over; the South Sea Fleet is training outside, and it will also take time to block the Taiwan Strait, but this cannot be rushed.

But the chance is only tonight, after a while, the Japanese army will be able to run to the edge of its homeland, and countless fighter planes will rush forward to rescue them, and it will be more difficult to kill them.

"However, we can't just sit idle!" Wang Wenda glanced at the Japanese battleships on the radar screen that were changing formations to take advantage of the position, bared their white teeth, and had a cold light in their eyes. Cleaned up!"

Under the water less than [-] nautical miles away, a total of six Japanese submarines are sneaking towards this side, obviously intending to approach and release torpedoes, and sneak attack first!

Wang Wenda has never been able to figure out why Japan himself has to use submarines to fight warships.

This kind of strategy adopted by the Ministry is simply ridiculous. Submarines are used to break diplomatic attacks and deal with freighters. If they are paired with warships with anti-submarine capabilities, their heads will be flooded!The key is that if he fails once, he will never repent!

Well, probably influenced by the Germans.It seems that the guy in Dönitz over there is desperately expanding the U-boat sequence, trying to use swarms of waves to kill all the British and French warships in the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.

Fifty kilometers, far less than the bombardment distance, several capital ships of the East China Sea Fleet turned flexibly to the north and continued to maintain their positions, actively approaching the North Sea Fleet; five nautical miles away, the "Qingdao-class" light cruiser quietly After dropping his buttocks, he released more than a dozen torpedoes in one breath, facing the Japanese submarine below.

The tail of the sturdy "Yujia 2" 533mm fast torpedo set off a long string of fine air bubbles, and the rapidly rotating seven-bladed propeller pushed away the cold sea water. Sinking down, penetrating downwards at a small angle, the active sonar on the head is activated and starts a range search. The "I"-class submarine, unaware of the danger, is slowly moving forward from a depth of 50 meters. The sound almost deafened his ears!

"We've been detected by sonar!"

Similar voices sounded in the six submarines one after another, and the captain of an "I-15" submarine that was at the depth of the periscope shouted angrily: "Nonsense! I didn't see anything! Where is the sonar coming from?! You must have misheard." Already!"

The huge "I-15" is not very conspicuous at night, but the captain's excellent eyesight can see very far. There is no trace of any warship within a radius of five kilometers. This is [-]% certain.

The sonar operator lowered his head depressedly. Just as he put on the earphones, there was another sonar crash. This time, the captain himself could hear it clearly. He pressed his eyes on the eyepiece and turned around in disbelief. Nothing!

But this is always wrong!He turned his head and shouted: "Take evasive action immediately! Angle 15, depth 100, hurry up!"

The enemy on the opposite side is very cunning and mysterious. I don't know what kind of weird methods they will have, so we must guard against them!Maybe it might be the ghost of the night reconnaissance plane in the sky!

The captain didn't dare to hesitate, although he couldn't hear the roar of low-altitude flight above, but in the speaker, the interval between the sonar hitting the hull of the submarine became shorter and shorter, from once in a few seconds at the beginning, it quickly developed into a second A few times, it was like a time bomb counting down, which made my heart tighten!

The front of the submarine with a displacement of 3654 tons (underwater) immediately began to inject water. It was huge and heavy, and the slow movement made people anxious. Under the water in the distance, a torpedo threw out a string of uniform foam like a shark, and the propeller accelerated suddenly, split a narrow passage at a terminal speed of 55 knots, and slammed into the thick waist of the submarine!

"Boom!" A water column with a diameter of tens of meters suddenly jumped into the air, as if a submarine volcano had erupted. The red flashes mixed in the water illuminated the surrounding sea surface for several kilometers, and the tail of a little submarine that was close to the water surface slammed A setback reveals a part, followed by crunching and the front half breaks off!

The "I-15" submarine, which has a larger displacement than the two destroyers combined, was crushed by the water pressure caused by the impact of 320 kg of high-energy explosives that exploded at close range. The body collapsed, and a big hole was opened from the impact point as the center. The 94 crew members inside died tragically on the spot without saying a word!

In less than a minute, five loud bangs rang out from the surrounding area. The superficial ones threw thick water jets directly into the air, and the deeper ones gushed out large oily sprays like a large fountain. The cracked wooden boards and All kinds of human body fragments and sundries in the submarine rolled out.

Under the water, there are submarines over a hundred meters in the middle, like dead whales, suddenly lost control due to the huge impact force or hit from the tail. The pitiful screams came indistinctly, and gradually fell silent!

The hateful target was swept away, Wang Wenda straightened his neckline refreshed, looked directly at the opponent who was approaching in the night, and said softly: "Come on, little devil, let us see the winner or loser!"

The explosion in the distance and the red beam of light rising into the sky can be clearly seen from the command room of the flagship of the Second Fleet. Nagumo Tadaichi frowned and ordered in a deep voice: "Ask what's going on ahead!"

The lights came on, and the closest destroyer responded immediately: "It seems that our submarine has been attacked!"

Although each other kept radio silence, the formation was clear to each other, especially the outer escort and front attack warships were ready to cooperate with each other at any time.The explosion less than three kilometers away was so conspicuous that it was impossible not to see it.

Nan Yunzhong's eyes widened in surprise, and he thought to himself: "Can the other party sneak attack the submarine?!" (To be continued.)
