The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

"The communication of the second attack echelon is interrupted! It is impossible to confirm whether the information is accurate!"

The voice of the communication officer's staid report echoed in the command room of the "North Carolina". There is no psychological preparation in advance!

General Kimmel looked sideways at Chuichi Nagumo, and the Japanese immediately said in a deep voice in broken English: "There should be no mistake! In the nearby waters, there is only the Chinese navy! And its new warship must be very conspicuous." .Electromagnetic shielding often happens in the battle against China. Presumably it is difficult to transmit news from that airspace! But be patient, I believe there should be reports from planes!"

When it comes to the experience of fighting against China, the Japanese have a great right to speak, and both Britain and the United States must admit this --- they are lessons learned at the cost of more than 100 million tons of warships, more than 100 million troops, and thousands of air forces. ah!At this time, it is not worth lying.

Lieutenant General Philips got itchy ears and eyes from the Japanese's weird pronunciation of English, and wanted to say: "I beg you Japanese, don't spoil the noble English, what is it called when it comes out of your mouth? !"

But a gentleman is a gentleman, you can't even curse in front of your face, right?Frowning, he nodded helplessly: "That's the only way to go! But if this is the case, I'm afraid the situation of the first echelon fighters will be worse! Otherwise, the Chinese will not be so bold to launch warships to provoke!"

For this situation, the Japanese have long been reminded.Basically, against the Chinese Air Force, there is almost no possibility of a sneak attack -- God knows how they got the radar up in the sky, and it looks like it is everywhere!Then the frontal attack is the best and only way.It is to use multiple numbers and multiple waves of repeated impacts to consume them with more hits and fewer lives.

It is undeniable that such a tactic is very fucking, not to mention the heavy losses, the current bad situation in the UK.We can't afford a war of attrition at all, so the rich and powerful United States can support the war damage, and the Japanese, who are not afraid of death, are willing to die.

Of course, there is also a way, and that is to create more and more advanced fighters, such as aircraft that fly faster and have more firepower than the opponent.However, adding up all the aircrafts of the three countries at present, there is no one that can exceed the altitude determined by the Japanese intelligence.

The best of the U.S. Navy are f4u and p-40, and the f6f and p47 that are about to be successfully developed---this is an order from the British.And the performance of the British's own "fire" and "hurricane" is the same, and the output can't keep up. These add up.It can't keep up with Japan's "Super Zero War"!

In other words, the best aircraft in the three countries are not as good as the second-generation "Flying Shark" that is routinely installed in China, let alone the Flying Shark-e that just appeared.It is said that there is also a similar carrier-based aircraft "Tiger Shark", with similar performance, and they are currently difficult to surpass opponents.

Nanyun Zhongyi didn't intend to save face for the two allies at all, and nodded decisively: "There should be no hope. So in fact, I don't agree with the temptation to them, and the price paid is too high! It should be a frontal attack from the beginning. Yes, for China. We don't need to talk about so many international conventions."

Lieutenant General Philips' face became ugly again.He presided over the entire action plan. In the face of the British Empire, he didn't want to be that kind of sneaky scum, and it would be embarrassing to be told about it.Originally, I wanted to give China a "sorrowful Medton letter", and then the other party definitely disagreed!That's easy to handle, just start fighting.How justifiable this is!

The Americans are also inclined to this opinion, but they are more supportive of creating friction and letting the other party make unforgivable mistakes first, so the so-called "military exercises" of the mighty so-called "military exercises" are laid out, but they do not agree with the repeated emphasis of the Japanese The first blow to the problem.More than 300 planes were photographed directly.

In their eyes, the worst strategy was proposed by the Japanese. Don’t make any excuses, don’t make any temptations, completely covert actions, move carefully to the attack distance, and use the absolute superiority of the force to strike suddenly, and blow up all the opponent’s weapons. Armed!For this reason, you can even make some sacrifices to create all kinds of fog to confuse the enemy.

Neither the British nor the Americans supported this plan. No matter how much Nagumo Tadaichi insisted, it was useless. As a result, everyone has seen it now?

Lieutenant General Philips was not so thick-skinned, so he couldn't help but squeezed his fists, and said bravely: "I choose to believe that the boys in front can overcome the temporary difficulties. So, since the Chinese have already appeared on their own initiative, shall we How about speeding up the action?"

General Kimmel did not participate in the specific command, but watched with a pipe in his mouth.

Nagumo Takaichi said in a veteran tone without hesitation: "It should be done that way! We must assume that the new capital ship of China has extremely advanced armaments, such as rockets that can attack from a distance of [-] kilometers, and ultra-long-range naval guns, etc. Wait! If they attack from the outside, our losses will be great! Therefore, it is best to advance at full speed and strike with all your strength!"

This is what he said at the beginning.

In order to ensure the success of the cooperation, the Japanese army did not hesitate to take out a lot of experience and lessons they had exchanged for huge sacrifices.When fighting with the Chinese navy, the first thing to do is not to choose night, because in that case, your side is like a blind man, but they have very advanced radars that can see and assist shooting from a distance.

General Kimmel expressed his approval on behalf of the U.S. military. The humiliation in January is unforgettable!

The second is not to give the opponent a chance to fight. Once entering the battle, in addition to the aircraft carrier providing a steady stream of air strikes, the main gunboat must surround it at full speed, try to withstand the blows and enter the range of the main gun, and then fight more and less. lethal!

In a word, don't give the opponent a chance to take advantage, pack tactics, beat the master to death with random punches!Among them, sacrifice tactics are indispensable!

Fighter planes, light warships approaching to launch torpedoes, and submarines can all be sacrificed in order to hold back the opponent and provide a window for capital ships to attack.

This sounds very tragic!

The British were very disapproving at first.The Royal Navy of the British Empire has a long history of 400 years to show that there is no such method of fighting!As soon as the co-authors come up, they regard the opponent as an invincible warship that cannot be defeated. Could it be that the opponent's capital ship is immune to all heavy shells?No matter how thick his armor is.Even if it reaches more than 406mm, it can't withstand the bombardment of 460mm or [-]mm main guns!

Well, yes, the Brits and Americans know now that the damned Japs sneak up on the dreaded 460mm 6" gun!Also Nima is a three-seat triple-installation!Put it on top of a super hull with a standard displacement of more than [-] tons!Do they want to build sea monsters?

Japan really made up its mind to cooperate and took out the last hole card to break the boat.Both the United Kingdom and the United States broke out in a cold sweat when they saw it!These dwarfs, who are not very big, actually made such a terrible thing!Comparing the caliber of their own battleships, the Americans are lucky to say that most of them are 406mm 356-inch guns. The British are tragic. Whether it is a battle cruiser or a battleship, the poor [-]mm [-]-inch guns are weak. have!

It is obviously at the same level as the latest North Carolina of the Yankees, and it has three seats and three units of 406.The majestic British Empire has gone back more and more, this embarrassing mess!

Coupled with the difference in quantity, Lieutenant General Philips has no face to mention anything else.It's really... I can't say.

But how to say it, anyway, it's not my own business, so I don't feel bad about how many people are killed. There are only three battleships in the UK, and the participation is also a role of soy sauce, as the main force.There must be three Japanese battleships and eight American battleships, adding up to twelve battleships.There are also a bunch of heavy patrols and light patrols. If you say that you can't kill two enemy ships, you won't believe it!

Of course, the British had absolutely no idea that the nasty opponent warships on the opposite side would put an electromagnetic force field shield that surpassed the times, and the Japanese were fortunate enough to see it with their own eyes.But not sure it's possible -- the imagination isn't that high.But they know that they have a ship that has penetrated into the formation of the entire United Fleet calmly, and its anti-strike ability must be superb!

Commander Kimmel was well aware of the relevant problems, and came out to support him at this time: "Just do what General Nagumo said! In short, the battle must be ended quickly, so you might as well use your full strength from the beginning. Otherwise, the delay will be too long. Yes. Make other allies feel trouble!"

This action against China is not just the Triple Alliance!In the north, Japan secretly contacted Soviet Russia to contain the army, immobilizing its entire first theater and preparing for the counterattack of the Kwantung Army.In the south, nearly 20 Kwantung Army elites were secretly transported to the Indochina Peninsula to contain the deployment of troops in the third theater.

Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army has to contain the East China Sea Fleet and some domestic forces, and then the only South China Sea Fleet that can be spared has to face the temporary coalition forces composed of old warships from Australia, France, the Netherlands and the British Far East Navy. Contain the threat!

correct!Regardless of the fact that the Netherlands was occupied by the Germans, the Far East was still with the Allies, not to mention France, they were part of this matter.Inside and out, the proper Eight-Nation Allied Forces!

According to the predetermined plan, the key is to seize the bridgehead first and win a vital force of the Chinese navy.And Ryukyu Island is undoubtedly the best target choice. If you can seize this place and destroy the defenders, and then capture Taiwan, you can form a blockade of China's island chain and be trapped inside!And when the multinational coalition forces have an advanced base, everything will be easy to handle!

The problem now is to grab time!This side must end quickly, otherwise, when the South China Sea Fleet notices, those dilapidated naval ships will not be able to stop their powerful formation!At that time, the East China Sea and the South China Sea will all rush over, and the battle will be more troublesome!

The two main partners have said so, of course Lieutenant General Philips will not insist.

At this time, the submarine force and the following aerial reconnaissance planes also sent the latest battle reports, but the content surprised the generals!

The first batch of fighter planes were completely wiped out!I don't even know how the two fleets that rushed to the vicinity of the islands died, because the Chinese fleet that came out to stop them didn't move!This shows that they still have back-up power, but they can't see it for the time being, and the second echelon has entered the electromagnetic shielding area and cannot send back effective reports!

The scouting submarine confirmed the previous report that the Chinese naval ships were indeed dispatched, and the leaders were two huge super warships!In terms of size, it is estimated that it is not much worse than the two "Yamato class" of the Japanese army!

Now, everyone was shocked!Could it be that the so-called latest "Kunlun-class" battleship announced by the Chinese two years ago has been successfully built? !This speed is too damn fast!It will take less than two years to fully count, even if the Chinese workers work 24 hours a day.It will also take at least a year to test and improve in the water, okay?

The second batch of three planes sprinted back from several directions with all their strength, reported the same situation, and took a very blurry and unclear photo back, because the distance was too far, and all the close ones were shot down.

The photo is not very clear, but the advantage is that a nearby destroyer was also photographed.And the various data of that destroyer.The databases of various countries have it --- the capital ship of global defense at the time.

I don't know if I don't know, I'm shocked!Seeing the huge hill-like figure beside the destroyer, the generals immediately believed the results of the investigation and judgment.But after being surprised, they became excited at the same time. Lieutenant General Philips smiled reservedly: "It seems that we are very lucky! We met a big guy as soon as we came up!"

This is even better than the original plan!Originally they thought that it was some other main ship that was launched, such as an aircraft carrier or a heavy patrol.Or the subsequent "Taishan-class" battleships and the like.Otherwise, it will not attract the appearance of almost the entire Chinese navy high-level.

But I didn't expect this grand prize to be so exciting, two heavy battleships like mountains!Haha, I caught a big fish!

Nanyun Zhongyi was excited, and his face showed a trace of solemnity, and reminded: "Everyone! We must be careful of the main ship, which will have some incredible weapon power! Since they can build such a large gun, the caliber of the main gun and the armament must be there. The increase. The next battle may be more difficult. It is not even ruled out that a huge price will be paid!"

General Kimmel raised his eyebrows and said nothing, while Lieutenant General Philips raised his chin and waved his hand arrogantly: "The Navy never shrinks back because of difficulties! This time, we must show the Chinamen that the Navy is not If you put it together casually, you can dominate the ocean!"

It sounds like that.It's a bit of a slap in the face anyway!If the Chinese navy is patchwork, what is the Japanese navy? !

Nan Yunzhong felt blocked for a while, but he couldn't express it. He swallowed a sigh of relief, and made a note of the British guy in his heart!

But he had to admit it.General Philips was right.In particular, the navies of Japan and the United States have almost all inherited the tradition of the British, which has been established since the Nelson era. The navies will never retreat in battle, and even if they fight to a sampan, they cannot escape!

More reconnaissance planes were sent out, and they all used high-speed carrier-based planes to play guest roles. Those slow seaplanes were not expected to be targeted, and they were all targeted.

In the distant waters, the ocean-going fleet has completed its turn and started sailing southeast. It seems that a large group of unprecedentedly powerful enemy ships is approaching four hundred kilometers away. In the bridge command room, the generals are looking at the sea, talking and laughing happily.

The left-wing fleet of the second batch of fighters sent by the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms circled around the Sakishima Islands before turning right and headed for Ryukyu, but it just passed over the fleet. Zhu Bin did not call for the air force to cover, and directly ordered all ships to sound the air defense alarm immediately. Then the anti-aircraft guns were erected one after another, and a burst of 8000mm shells were thrown at the aircraft fleet sweeping across from a height of 127 meters!

The fleet advancing in a loose formation was very alert. They maneuvered and dodged immediately, keeping a wide distance from each other, and then rushed forward in an S-shaped trajectory with all their strength. In the blink of an eye, they passed through the thin vertical air defense net, leaving four or five unlucky planes behind. Eggs escaped smoothly.

Chen Shaokuan let out a sigh: "Oh? Didn't they come to bomb the fleet? Why did they just run over?"

Zhu Bin laughed and said, "It probably didn't occur to us that we would take the initiative to fight. According to the original plan, we judged that we would flee towards the East China Sea! Now that the radio is blocked, they can't receive orders from behind. They should be heading towards the military port." .”

Chen Shaokuan nodded without asking if Zhu Bin was safe.You can tell by its appearance, there must be a complete countermeasure over there, otherwise it would have launched anti-aircraft missiles to fight off the group of enemy planes first.

There is nothing wrong with this idea!As the center of gravity of Zhu Bin's ocean base, the Ryukyu Islands have a strong defense force beyond the imagination of the outside world!The aircraft group that just broke through here has not passed the fleet ten kilometers, and a group of six "Flying Dragons" suddenly rushed out from above [-] meters. The speed is so fast that it is dizzying. The second killed half of the invading enemy who was still in shock!

In the rest of the fleet, the heavy and slow bombers were the first to suffer. Although the "Ultimate Zero Fighter" of the escort was desperate to fight, they still couldn't buy enough time for them to break away. It took less than 10 minutes before and after, [-] Broken, defeated in a mess!

However, a new discovery made Zhu Bin's eyes shine. It was discovered during the battle that the performance of the "Ultimate Zero Battle" of the Japanese army that appeared in the escort fleet was actually improved compared to the previous ones!Almost all the problems of the previous models have been solved, the maximum speed has also been improved, and the anti-strike ability is also stronger!

Zhu Bin immediately ordered the fleet behind to salvage the crash site, trying to get a few more samples back for research and research. However, when he contacted the rear research institute, the response he got was: "It is impossible for Japan to continue to improve. It should be suspected that the U.S. military Participating in related manufacturing does not rule out that the Americans helped them solve technical problems."

It's really possible!Now that they have joined forces, there is not much that can be kept secret from the U.S. military when the Japanese army is desperate.The high-speed "Ultimate Zero Fighter" is much better than all the US carrier-based aircraft under the current circumstances. Regardless of speed, maneuverability, and firepower, it far exceeds the main US military's f4f and half-top f4u!

With the technical capabilities of the Americans, it is easy to solve the problems of "Ultimate Zero War" engine instability, insufficient turbocharging, weak body structure, too slow machine gun feeding, etc. The modified stuff may be more abnormal! (To be continued..)
