The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

You can never be too careful in the face of a cunning and mysterious enemy.

Nagumo Chuichi suffered from old age, and he still dare not conclude that there will be only one enemy ship in the vicinity.No matter how powerful the opponent's combat power is, how incredible the anti-strike ability is, any unconventional non-tactical posture is unacceptable. The opponent will never provoke with just a warship, unless he has more backup forces How dare you be so arrogant!

Backup!Just thinking about it makes me sweat!Nagumo Chuichi could even imagine that in the dark night, the huge fleet that sneaked up like a devil would launch a devil's attack unexpectedly and completely wipe out their powerful fleet in one fell swoop.And this weird warship was just released by them as a bait...

If this is the case, then not only his fleet will suffer, but the northern fleet may encounter something. Who dares to say that the vast ocean is not the opponent's vast hunting ground?And they are perfect prey?

Everything is so suspicious!

Don't blame Nagumo Zhongichi for having too much imagination, it's because the performance of "Yingzhou" is very abnormal!A cruiser with a mere 5 to [-] tons, faced with a behemoth of [-] tons and a [-]-ton behemoth, has repeatedly succeeded in melee combat without damaging the skin, what should you think?

Perhaps, it is a powerful special warship secretly manufactured by the other party, which is specially used for hunting and breaking diplomatic relations?Thinking about what the Germans are doing, using the "Deutschland-class" pocket battleships to sail across the Atlantic, you know that this is very reliable. Who told the Chinese Navy to start buying warships from the Germans? Maybe they don't have similar tactics. ah!

Nagumo Chuichi was really scared, so he didn't hesitate to call for more warships to gather together to keep warm and fight against the danger that may come at any time.

At the same time, he was also soberly aware.The other party did not use electromagnetic shielding, and asked him to send a report at will. This is by no means a mistake, but intentional. Then it is safe to say, and it may be waiting for him to do so.And then a spoonful of it...well, anything is possible!

Faced with such a situation, he will not carry it alone. In this vast Pacific Ocean, there is a guy named the United States of America in terms of a strong man with a thick waist!

"Your Excellency, Commander! What do you mean by calling the U.S. Navy... Could it be that you want to use their power to deal with the Jin? But in that case, our 'Yamato Ship' may also be exposed!" the chief of staff reminded worriedly.

Nan Yunzhong twitched his cheeks, and said firmly: "No! That's not important! All countries have known about our super battleship. It's just that we haven't seen the real thing. My purpose is to create a super battleship for the Americans. An excuse to join the war!"

"Hey?! You mean...?!" The chief of staff stared at him incredulously, this statement is really amazing!

Nan Yunzhong nodded heavily: "That's right! It's exactly what you think! The Great Japanese Empire should not fight against a powerful enemy alone, and we will not be gunmen who are placed in front of the big powers. The British and American ghosts want to use us as enemies." With the knife at hand, we will drag them all into the whirlpool!"

The chief of staff was frightened, how could he have such a rebellious idea?Could it be.Commander, have you gone mad with fright?What is a powerful enemy? The Chinese army has only developed for a few years by chance.How to compete with an empire with half a century of development?Temporary victory does not mean their long-term military luck. If this statement is spread, it will cause unprecedented anger. Maybe some disobedient army officers will rush out and hack them to death with knives!

He probably knows something about dragging Yingmi ghost animals into the war, but how to do it.The final decision has not yet been made, and besides, the timing is not right!It didn't mean that Yingmi was ready until several powerful warships were officially commissioned.Just started?

Nagumo Chuichi seemed to have expected that he would think so, and said lightly: "Sometimes, the situation will change beyond our plan! In the past, we looked down on the Chinese soldiers, so from now on, please completely abandon that ridiculous idea! In any case, our enemies have the power of technological weapons to completely crush the empire. Although it is impossible to conquer the empire, it is enough to cause eternal bleeding wounds and trap us on narrow islands! An opponent with such a powerful force must Give it enough respect! Gentlemen, you must treat it with a different way of thinking!"

Unacceptable!Not only the chief of staff, but all the generals, officers and junior staff officers in the command room stared at him in disbelief.

In the whole of Japan, the psychological advantage over China has been formed for half a century. The thrill of the thousand-year-old slave turning over and climbing on the master's head to domineeringly tramples on the master's head has only been enjoyed a little bit, and there is no more violence and presumptuousness. Get cathartic, let them jump off the stage and treat them as equals?How can it be!unacceptable!

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.Today's Japan seems to be used to living a poor life and suddenly got billions of dollars of floating wealth. It is so beautiful that the nose is full of snot, but it is absolutely unwilling to go back to living a poor life.Nanyun Zhongyi poured cold water on him, just relying on him being on the ocean, try another place?Can't kill him!

On the other hand, what he said was obviously not what was drafted by the cabinet before. The United Kingdom and the United States made a threatening gesture, and the Japanese soldiers came forward for a decisive battle. Chuichi Nagumo really wanted to directly involve the US military in the war!

It is not difficult to imagine that in that case, the whole world will be involved.Americans who have the world's largest economy may not be very interested in territory, but they must have full ambitions to control the economic and military hegemony of the entire world!In that way, the fate of Japan that has just escaped British control will be reversed again!And once it falls into the remote control of the United States, which is in the same ocean, with its strong national power and military power, it may become a puppet to check and balance the situation in Asia, and to beat people and provoke troubles at will. What a fart!

A group of people can't help but look at Nagumo Chuichi with strange eyes, it's really such an idea, it's outrageous!

Nagumo Chuichi did not explain in detail what he meant to them. The so-called "I was looking at the bright moon with my heart, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!" In the entire empire, there are not many people who are really sober, and most of them are still being fooled into dreaming of a great empire. !

He was so passionate before, but he was hit hard several times in a row.Wake up!

Although Japan, after decades of development, its technology, industry, and military have greatly surpassed that of China, which has been poor and white, it seems that it can easily handle this master of thousands of years.The continuous progress since the First Sino-Japanese War seems to confirm this point.

But in fact, how many people have really noticed it.Even at the worst time of being bullied, China, with its vast land, astonishing population, and great heritage, still has the same gross national product as Japan.

It seems ridiculous to say that China has 7000 million people, Japan has [-] million people, and the land ratio is tens to one, which is really inappropriate!

Careful analysis will reveal that China.At that time, there was almost no qualified heavy industry, all agriculture was in its original form, and light industry and handicraft industry were all small-scale. The only decent things were textiles, matches, chemicals, etc., and the rest, which conformed to the characteristics of modern industrial civilization, were absent.And any economist should be clear that a powerful country.It is only reasonable to say that industrial power must account for more than half of its national power. Compared with China's industry.Infinity approaches zero!

What about Japan?It seems to have developed to a bottleneck stage. It seems powerful, but in fact, it is completely inappropriate!There are not as many people who are ahead of China as imagined. Now China has spent eight years.From scratch, a larger, more systematic and comprehensive industrial system than Japan has been established. Appropriate and appropriate education has provided tens of millions of qualified workers and millions of high-level intellectuals. The conditions for its rise have already been met. !After several wars with Japan, it gained unprecedented national self-confidence.An unprecedented explosive development opportunity is in front of them. If there is no strong containment ability, they will be unstoppable!

To be a qualified senior Japanese talent, one must study Chinese culture.When looking at China, we should not be as brain-dead as those [-] foreign students who were fooled into donating funds to undergo brainwashing. Let them go back and try their best to slander Chinese civilization, belittle their ancestors, dig deep into various shortcomings and chronic diseases, and hold all the bad roots of all human beings. On the head of China... hundreds of thousands of such idiots persevere in doing that. The Japanese should put their heads on this basis and think about how to stop this powerful momentum!

It's a pity that in today's Japan, there are too few clear-headed people. There are only a few in the army, such as Ishihara Waner, who still often suffer from head cramps and dizziness.What about the navy?Does Yamamoto 56 count?Maybe, but in fact, Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe's thinking is more reliable.The question is, who dares to support it!

Nagumo Tadaichi is not only a naval commander, he also had rigorous thinking and introspection after his head was beaten awake. It is already quite remarkable to have such an awareness!

Japan and China will not be strong at the same time, one must fall, this is clear.The big powers will not allow a peaceful Asia to exist. Creating wars and frictions to disrupt the situation is their basic international political thinking. If you see the situation clearly, you should take the initiative to attack. If you don’t want to be manipulated, then muddy the water!

Nagumo Chuichi couldn't analyze his feelings to these subordinates, he just used the method of giving orders to directly produce relevant results. Since the enemy didn't care, he didn't have to care either.As long as the existence and strength of the Imperial Navy can be guaranteed, the rest is ignored!

The crippled fleet changed its formation and surrounded the "Yingzhou" with two main giant ships alone, and the relevant telegrams were quickly sent out in the form of cipher text temporarily concluded by Japan.

Of course, it was not unexpected. He was intercepted immediately, and it didn’t even take a bowl of tea to crack it. Zhu Bin saw the real content. Not only was he not surprised, but he laughed excitedly: “Sure enough! There is a connection between the United States, I didn’t expect it to be so deeply involved! It’s just that it’s a bit naive to expect the Americans to join the war! It’s not profitable to start early, Yankee bankers don’t do meaningless things !"

Originally, he found it strange that Japanese submarines and American destroyers had secretly infiltrated the Eastern Pacific Base.

But now it can be confirmed that the Japanese and American officials have reached a definite agreement, otherwise, it would be impossible to send a similar telegram.The Japanese are going to risk exposing two powerful battleships to the United States, which is almost showing their belly for people to touch casually!

"Report! Found the whereabouts of an enemy ship 118 kilometers to the north! It is determined to be a Japanese naval ship, and there is a new main battleship. It is expected to enter the contact distance in 2 hours!"

Under the radar scan of the aerial reconnaissance plane, the second trial fleet that rushed to attack was fully exposed!In particular, another majestic "Yamato-class" battleship is as conspicuous as a floating island.It's hard not to see it!

Zhu Bin's spirit was lifted, and he clapped the table and shouted: "Okay! Just wait for them to come to your door! This time we don't have to run around and get tired, and we are ready to open the door to welcome guests!"

"Yes!"

The actual combat test voyage originally required many confrontation drills. Even if the Japanese navy did not come, he would touch the door to provoke.Take a look at your own stealth design, whether the opponent's radar can detect it, and whether you can compete with coastal defense forces in combat -- of course it must be at night, during the day, he can't deal with thousands of planes!

A "Yamato" is already very surprising, and there is another one that is delivered to the door as a target, that would be great!

Concentrating on his thoughts, Zhu Bin immediately ordered the "Yingzhou" to maintain a speed of more than [-] knots and circle the sea back and forth, at least until dawn.They didn't plan to run too far, and kept rubbing back and forth with the two Japanese battleships.

The battleship "Suruga" was forced to stand up to meet the challenge and bravely blocked in front of the flagship. All the main guns and auxiliary guns were fully fired, aiming at the enemy who was pulled nearly [-] kilometers away for intensive and uninterrupted attacks. to gain valuable time.

The "Yingzhou" is like a dexterous shark. After biting a few mouthfuls of fresh and tender meat, it immediately sped away, and killed the surrounding submarines and destroyers within the observation distance with a few shots, ensuring that no one within a radius of [-] kilometers could Seeing its real body, it was followed by a rapid maneuvering change of direction.After going on three turns and two turns for ten minutes, the "Suruga" couldn't find the target!

Fight in the dark.It's such a fucking thing, the radar can't lock the opponent's figure at all, and the naked eye can't see it. Just relying on artillery fire to search is not only time-consuming, laborious and expensive, but has little effect.If it was not deliberately exposed before.They want to find it, but there is no door!

The "Suruga" lost its target all of a sudden. The radar soldiers beat the simple circular picture tube screen repeatedly, but couldn't find any suspicious signals. They helplessly said to the captain Yamaguchi Gizo: "I really didn't find it! Maybe they escaped." Maybe!"

"Baga! Such a thing will never happen! The Chinese people are cunning and cunning! They must be hiding in the dark and waiting for a sneak attack! Keep searching! Such a big battleship, it can't disappear out of thin air!"

"Hi!" The radar soldier answered happily, secretly cursing, didn't they just appear suddenly, and there was no trace of them before!During the entire combat phase, even if it is close to a place that is visible to the naked eye, the radar cannot detect it. Maybe this crap is not as idiomatic as it is said to be at all!

The Japanese navy, still advocating traditional combat theory, doesn’t really believe in the so-called radar technology, because what they currently have is very unreliable. A fishing boat and a warship can’t be distinguished together, and the artillery can deviate a few kilometers. , is not as clear as the naked eye.

Yamaguchi Gizo was right. After the two sides paused for about ten minutes, the "Yingzhou" suddenly came over with a few shells. It was routinely attacked by armor-piercing bullets, although it could not penetrate the main armor of the side, turret and bridge. , but abused the other turrets and buildings exposed on it wantonly, a string of shells, as if there was no regular shower, and suddenly there were seven or eight rounds, the accuracy was horrible, and two or three explosions were created each time, although It's nothing more than hurting the fur, but it can't help but add up!In less than half an hour, nearly [-] shells were hit in a row. The ship was full of flames, debris covered the deck, hundreds of soldiers were killed and wounded, a hole was drilled in the chimney, and a catapult was killed. Two auxiliary guns were paralyzed, five anti-aircraft guns were destroyed, and four shells were hit on the bridge, killing and injuring dozens of people. It seems to be burning!

Nagumo Tadaichi remained unmoved, insisted on heading north, fired steadily across the straddle, and joined hands with "Suruga" to bombard, no matter whether he could hit or not, it was impossible to fight back without being beaten!

The gunfire flying along this road is almost a one-sided fireworks show!Every salvo of the two battleships made the sea boil and the flames shot into the sky!Under the infrared observation, the shells flying across the sky draw gorgeous lines, which is spectacular!

"Yingzhou" is like an extremely stubborn cheetah, always relying on its speed advantage to keep circling, with a distance of [-] kilometers as the radius, swinging back and forth from left to right, sometimes on the left, and sometimes on the right.More than an hour later, the positions of the three consecutive bombardments were different, causing the two Japanese ships to be battered. When another huge warship appeared in the distance, they each received no less than thirty or forty rounds of small-caliber armor-piercing shells. Where the body structure is weak, there are holes everywhere, so miserable!

"The 'Musashi' has arrived!" Exclaimed in joy, Nagumo Tadaichi felt as if a big stone fell to the ground, nodded in satisfaction, and shook his fist vigorously: "It is not too late to start a search attack on the enemy ship! Until dawn, then, kill him completely!"

"Yamato" and "Suruga" split left and right like blossoming flowers, each with full rudders on the left and right and turned their heads to outflank. The majestic "Musashi" struck from the middle like an arrow, forming a trident posture, and rushed towards the hiding place in the middle. "Yingzhou" in the waters ahead!

At the same time, the U.S. fleet wandering in the Pacific swarmed like frightened sharks and rushed to this side! (to be continued..)
