The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

() Speaking of which, Zhu Bin's behavior is called a typical bully.

In this era when the whole world is still trying to increase the range, caliber, and precision of artillery, even fire control radars are rare, and there is no complete shooting command system, and computer aids are primitive and terrible. But provocatively driving a stealth missile cruiser that has been advanced for at least five or sixty years, it is clear that he is bullying a three-year-old child with a strong figure.

Of course, this is not to say that Zhu Bin deliberately planned it that way. In fact, as a person in the interstellar era, he couldn't bear the old warship that was full of strong engine oil smell and billowing smoke. Basu, it took a long time to hit a shot.

It is said that men are more passionate, but every time they fight, they will face great danger. If they are not paying attention, they will be hit by shells. When a ton of battleship shells hits them, no individual armor can hold them. What he tested was not what he wanted.

The "Yingzhou" this time represents the meaning of crossing the ages. The reason why it dared to come out alone is of course not to learn from the crazy tactics of the Germans. It seems that the Germans have not learned their lesson. . .

Zhu Bin has great confidence in his new main battleship, and has the ability to deal with the opponent without being killed. Now, he has finally caught the opportunity, and he will not let it go easily!

This is a typical modern naval warfare method. Under the detection of sea and air radars, the position and composition of the opponent's fleet is determined. After calculating the threat capability, one rides up to meet a thousand, and relies on technological advantages to deal with each other. While eliminating opponents to the greatest extent, it can also ensure its own safety and concealment, so that it will not be discovered by opponents.That is more qualified.

The "Yingzhou" slashed into the Japanese formation and rushed inward, its posture looked fierce, but after all, it was too far away from the Japanese ship, and with its stealth design, it was hard to be found.

Ri himself couldn't take it anymore.The scene of the second-class destroyer being sunk by several consecutive shots was witnessed by the surrounding linkage ships, and various judgments swarmed into the flagship "Yamato".After a few minutes of synthesis, the combat staff came to a seemingly reliable conclusion.

"The number of enemy ships will not exceed three, maybe even two or one, and the caliber of the artillery will be between 127mm and 254mm, at least not less than 203mm. It should be judged that it is a warship of the Chinese Navy. It has a night combat radar system and is extremely fast. Accurately grasp the situation on the battlefield. Extremely cunning!"

This kind of judgment is not unreasonable. First of all, judging from the power of the shell explosion, it should be the case, and it is more reliable to guess based on the effective range of general warships.

"Based on the above! It is determined that the enemy ship should be a 'Capital Class' heavy cruiser of the China Navy, or an amphibious assault ship with very little equipment! The former is most likely!"

Chuichi Nagumo agreed with this, and put forward his own opinion, it is likely to be one or two heavy cruisers.Because according to intelligence.The only two amphibious assault ships of the Chinese Navy are now wandering back and forth with the South China Sea Fleet, and they are parked in the military port all day long.It didn't move, and the Chinese didn't intend to build more ships of that kind of ship that didn't move up and down and didn't have much practicality. It was just to exercise shipbuilding skills.

Furthermore, the main gun of the amphibious assault ship is a big 280mm gun, and its range and power are completely different. If the thousand-ton body of its own small destroyer is hit by two guns, it will be finished.It won't last that long at all.Moreover, the voyage is also a flaw. Even if it starts from Taiwan or Ryukyu, it is unrealistic and unsafe to go all the way to the Eastern Pacific.

by contrast.The heavy cruiser specially designed for bombardment takes into account various performances, and the grenade fired by the 203mm artillery has the closest effect.It is very suitable for a single ship to escort or break diplomatic relations. If it were Japan, it would probably do the same.

"The preliminary determination is that it is a Chinese heavy cruiser. It may be that we accidentally discovered our formation ships, rather than intentionally blocking the trial voyage. We did not even discover our capital ship formation, and regarded the submarines and second-class destroyers in front as sailing alone. Therefore, a strike strategy is adopted. Therefore, we suggest that we should launch a sudden and violent encirclement and suppression against it, and strive to annihilate it in one fell swoop!"

The staff officer closed the clip, tensed his body and stood quietly waiting for his decision.

Nan Yunzhong stared at the sea night outside and was silent for a full minute. He didn't know what he was thinking, and finally nodded gently: "Just follow the above plan. Keep the fleet as far away as possible. Block the back of the China warship first, and make the second squadron more vigilant to prevent accidents!"

"Hi! Understood!"

The staff officers who followed him also understood the situation. Your Excellency, Commander, has suffered a lot. The Chinese navy has always been cunning and cunning, not at all like the decisive and brave navy possessed. Conspiracy to deceive people, this time, it is estimated that they are worried about similar traps and adopt a safe strategy!

A series of telegrams were sent out, and another trial fleet sailing northeast immediately raised its vigilance, and all of them entered a fighting stance.The rest of the ships in the local military port also came out to help, the fists must be concentrated together to be powerful!

What's more, the security ships deployed on Saipan were also urgently mobilized to outflank here, not to mention the submarines active in the nearby waters and other forces that broke the border, all turned around and prepared to fight at any time according to Nagumo Chuichi's order.

As for the test fleet, two cruisers, four destroyers, and four submarines split into two lanes and staggered to the two wings, opening a pocket with a width of 50 kilometers in a large encirclement posture, while the battleship "Suruga" as the main force of the escort, accelerated. The faster the speed, the faster they rushed straight forward to the sea area where the sunken destroyer was located. The power of the newly installed primary version of the radar was fully activated, together with the personnel looking out, looking for the target, and preparing to kill that guy with one blow!

The situation on the calm sea changed suddenly, and the muzzles of the galloping Japanese warships were full of murderous intent. Under the confrontation with the "Yingzhou", they entered the combat distance in less than half an hour. However, all the ships of the Japanese army were without exception. No trace of the attacker was found!

"The front coordinates are 165, the distance is 23, and the Japanese submarine is found!"

"The right front coordinate is 33. The distance is 28. We found one Japanese heavy cruiser and two second-class destroyers..."

Relying on the developed radar system, the "Yingzhou" methodically grasped the enemy's situation on the entire battlefield clearly, briskly splitting the waves and advancing forward, but did not find any traces for the Japanese army.

Zhu Bin sits in the command center.There is no fear of the Japanese formation that is about to approach, and the commanding warship calmly maintains a centerline assault posture and keeps approaching, slowly rushing diagonally from the left side of the Japanese formation, almost facing the three ships that are outflanking. .

Seeing that the Japanese second-class cruiser in front of the assault was already close to the range of 15 kilometers, and the angle was about to be evened out, he slapped his chair and shouted: "Target Japanese light cruiser, fire quickly, fire!"

The hard-working naval gun roared suddenly at the next moment, the fast flashing flames undulated on the sea surface, and a series of shells roared and rushed out!

It takes a few breaths.Eight shells suddenly appeared above the second-class cruiser with a terminal speed exceeding Mach [-]. The Japanese army only discovered it when the explosion sounded, obviously it was too late! The precise calculation of the attack point just shrouded it in the middle. Two shells hit the port side and the stern respectively. After the stern deck was pierced, the rudder was blown up, and the light cruiser immediately turned into a stupid ship advancing along a fixed arc!

Fifteen kilometers away.The flash of fire for a few seconds was suppressed to the maximum extent by the extended electromagnetic reconnection device, and the Japanese army did not discover it in time.The shells fell at supersonic speed, and after they heard the rumbling roar and even exploded, they could barely judge the approximate direction, but they couldn't calculate the precise angle and distance!

The "Yingzhou" did not intentionally carry out electromagnetic jamming, so the communication between the Japanese ships was deliberately free, and the warning of the attack was immediately spread throughout the entire fleet.The battleship "Suruga" on the center line swooped forward like a shark smelling fishy!According to the judgment, the enemy ship must be there!

However, the "Yingzhou" did not continue to fire, and suddenly turned 5 degrees to the left to cut across the center line channel. After running at full speed for 50 minutes, the heavy cruiser aimed at the right flank of the Japanese army suddenly fired another eight shells!Wait until the shell hits the ground.Turning the muzzle again, this time it did fire eight shells in a row at the "Yamato" which was finally [-] kilometers away, then turned its head silently, and rushed to the right wing of the Japanese formation!

The explosions that erupted one after another made the entire Japanese ship formation jump like crazy!The heavy cruiser on the right was more than 35 kilometers away, and was hit by a sudden shell, blowing up a secondary battery, killing and injuring more than a dozen people. The "Yamato" seemed to be the safest at the end, but He was hit by two shells for no reason!

However, it is obvious that this big guy's rough skin and thick flesh have reached a heinous level. Although the terminal storage speed of the 127mm armor-piercing projectile exceeds the speed of sound, the landing points are respectively on the No. 406 main turret and the front armor belt of the bridge, which can resist [-]mm The heavy armor of the cannonball did not respond at all to this, the explosion only tore through a layer of skin, and the people inside were safe and sound.

But that's enough!The three attacked points were all more than [-] kilometers away from each other. Even if we judged the landing point, it would be reasonable to hide at least two or three ships in the open area ahead.

The "Yamato" immediately calculated the possible lurking positions of the enemy ships, which were undoubtedly within their encirclement, and the number of targets was at least three!

Three heavy cruisers!Nan Yunzhong didn't realize it all at once, and the thought in his heart was: "Impossible!"

This is not in line with common sense!From any point of view, there is no reason to send so many warships of the same type to form a group to break the war. It is unscientific and does not conform to the laws of naval operations.But it is obvious that the firing time is relatively close, and the targets are scattered. If it is a ship, it is absolutely impossible!

Most importantly, the shells all fell at supersonic speeds, making it impossible for them to accurately determine the source of the shooting. Small-caliber naval guns over 40 kilometers away were even more unlikely, and they couldn't reach them either!

"There should be at least two enemy ships! One is in the encirclement on the left wing, and the other one may be operating jointly on the center line of the right wing!"

Only such an explanation is reasonable. The premise is that the target must be found first!

The explosion of the two shells did not shake the "Yamato" in the slightest. Chuichi Nagumo expressed his composure and decisively ordered: "Ignore the harassment from the outside, continue to search for the Chinese warships in the encirclement with all your strength, and be sure to kill him first!"

The opponent was probably a little panicked because he fell into the encirclement, so he did not hesitate to expose the outer battleships to support him, and launched an attack on the capital ship of the fleet.It's more like harassment, because as long as they are not fools, they should understand that such a level of blow is completely ineffective!

Nanyun Zhongyi also relieved most of his heart, the ultra-long-range mysterious weapon he was most afraid of did not appear, otherwise if that thing fired.I'm afraid that there are not many things left in my own fleet, even the "Kii-class" battleships can't handle it. Except for the latest two "Yamato-class", the rest are just living targets.

Well, it seems that the carrying requirements of that kind of weapon are relatively strict. Only super-large battleships can support it, and the number is limited and extremely valuable. It is also very possible!

He had no choice but to guess like this, otherwise, that thing would really look like a naval gun.There is no way out for your own navy!

In the "Yingzhou" combat command center, the movement of the Japanese fleet was clearly reflected on the big screen. Seeing the obvious signal of the battleship rushing in from the middle, Zhu Bin had a good time, and ordered: "Left full rudder, let's go first!" Let's talk about the little devil!"

The warship turned its head in response, and sped towards the Japanese ship, not only maintaining the advantage of a distance of more than 20 kilometers.He quickly caught up with the heavy cruiser that was opening the way ahead, and almost touched the opponent about ten kilometers away.Zhu Bin shouted: "Give them two torpedoes to try!"

The gunner swiped both hands on the touch screen, and a sliding cabin on the rear deck buzzed open, and the two box-shaped launch tubes made a muffled sound, and the entire projectile flew out, and the flameless spray propellant hit it to the ground. After hundreds of meters in the air, the shell exploded, and two 533mm torpedoes dragged their parachutes crookedly and fell to the sea surface.With the engine running, the smooth torpedo was pushed close to the water surface and quickly accelerated to 40 knots, heading straight for the Japanese ship!

The advantage of the full vertical launch does not come casually. The whole launching process can't even be found from a distance.But it is not comparable to ordinary gadgets these days. The distance of a mere [-] kilometers is no different from that of other countries' torpedoes, but they are as accurate as missiles!

Everyone on the ignorant Japanese heavy cruiser was groping around vigilantly, but they didn't expect the enemy ship to charge behind them. When the two torpedoes ran close to the water surface, the active sonar scan finally triggered Attention of the Japanese army!

"Not good! There is a sonar signal actively approaching! It is judged to be a Chinese torpedo boat, no! It is even faster!"

The sonar personnel of the Japanese army still have a lot of experience, and they all know that the scene of being raided by a torpedo boat at night in the first naval battle encountered is completely similar to this time.

They didn't have time to think about why offshore defense warships like torpedo boats appeared in this kind of ocean. In short, the opponent's attack capability is very terrifying!

The captain of the heavy cruiser is not an idiot, he immediately ordered: "Immediately launch the decoy bombs, and launch the depth charges to stop it!"

The speed of the torpedo attack is too fast!At the end, the speed reached more than [-] knots, which is not what the speedboat can achieve, and the sound of the engine is not heard at all!

A series of depth charges and induction bombs were thrown more than 100 meters behind the stern of the ship, and they were detonated one after another. The huge explosion pushed a water pressure blocking wall hundreds of meters wide below the sea surface, and blasted several thick water splashes!

Not to mention, this method seems to be effective. The first torpedo in front of Pentium plunged into it. After being interfered by the depth charge that exploded nearby, the shell was squeezed and deformed, and it ran off and turned; Explosion at the end!

"Boom!" In the huge flash, the heavy cruiser seemed to be caught by a giant and suddenly lifted its tail. The propeller on the buttocks was blown up on the spot, not to mention half of the buttocks were blown away, and countless steel fragments were detached from the main body. The Japanese sailors who were caught off guard killed more than a hundred people on the spot, the entire propulsion system was paralyzed, water flooded in the rear cabin, and a fire ignited to quickly slow down the progress, and there was a danger of overturning backwards!

This explosion was so obvious that the battleships in the rear could see it clearly, and the feedback information they got was so vague that the entire command and deployment were messed up for a while!

Nanyun Zhongyi almost couldn't help scratching his bald head, he really couldn't figure out what was going on!In the short period of time before and after, the opponent's attack was so messy and needless, how many ships came, why can't I see any of them? !

It’s fine if the sea is covered with dark clouds and the visibility is poor. It’s a clear and bright night, and you can see far away with the naked eye, and there is an obvious flash of flame when the gun is fired. It’s so strange that you can’t even see it. !

However, he became more and more determined that there were enemy ships in the front encirclement, and ordered the center line to accelerate forward, and the two wings immediately retracted and outflanked, and the guy must be trapped in the middle!

However, Zhu Bin commanded the "Yingzhou" to turn around and sweep across the entire middle road, and ran to the right road at full speed, facing the heavy cruiser on the right road that had been hit by a shot, and when the battleship "Suruga" came, the two The distance between them was less than ten kilometers, but they didn't find the target they wanted to encircle. After passing through the gap easily, they quickly inserted into the gap between them and the "Yamato", and turned around. , the muzzle points to the central target!

The figure of the [-]-ton giant ship reflected the strongest signal on the radar screen. The officers in the command center all had eyes lit up, and the corners of their mouths almost drooled. They glared at Zhu Bin and asked, "Should we kill this one directly?" Big guy?! Ri himself will definitely feel distressed to death!"

Zhu Bin gritted his teeth: "What's the hurry! With such a good target, we have to complete all the performance tests. Just in time, let's try his armor strength and main gun power!" (To be continued...)
