The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

The armament of the "Kunlun-class" battleship can actually be improved, but who made Zhu Bin's mind full of the spectacular scene of a forest of turrets at the beginning of the design?If it was not forced by the environment, he would not even be willing to install the vertical launch system at the back early.

With today's equipment strength, he can completely abandon small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, leaving 127mm high-level dual-purpose guns and 76mm anti-aircraft guns, plus six 6mm close-in anti-aircraft guns, which are enough to handle all air defense work.

And the advantage of this arrangement is that the design of more than a dozen mechanical devices is reduced, making the overall force stronger, the structure simple, and easy to build and maintain—even though all the turrets are actually automated and basically do not require manual operation.

Theoretically speaking, it’s true to do this, but Zhu Bin doesn’t care about a little bit of force and a little bit of trouble. In his heart, the rough concept that big is good, and more is beautiful occupies the first place. Moreover, the fully automatic production line It is all modular construction from the very beginning, and what is produced is a virtue, and it is too late to change, so why not just use it like this?

Now, the effect is extremely in line with his aesthetics. When the twenty quadruple anti-aircraft guns fired at once, strings of flames spewed out from the mouths of the densely erected horns, and the billowing smoke made the huge ship The body is submerged in it, like an ancient dragon crawling out of the lava hell, and the light band drawn out by the dense road piercing the sky is like a galaxy pouring down, which is spectacular and ecstatic! [

The generals standing together in the bridge command room were shaken by the roar and explosion coming from outside, and their heads were buzzing!The clusters of cannons whirling and standing up below are constantly spraying flames, and the turbulent shock wave airflow brought by breaking through the air for a moment, the armor structure of the bridge with a thickness of 650mm is buzzing and trembling, that feeling.It was as if the volcanoes around him were erupting, and the poor power roared violently from the depths of his heart, accompanied by howling cannons, full of great destructive power that was unstoppable and blood-boiling!

At this moment, everyone was so excited that they couldn't help jumping up!The five and sixty-year-old men were trembling all over.His eyes were shining brightly, and his trembling speech was out of tune.

strength!This is what the navy should have!It was violent and savage, earth-shattering, invincible, and made the world tremble.Ferocity, majesty, domineering!And so on, all the specific words to describe the destructive power of human beings can be piled up without hesitation!

With such power, what else can stop and resist?

No!nobody!That seemingly overwhelming and majestic aircraft.When the hail-like cannons soared into the sky, they became trembling chicks under the hunter's gun!

The intelligent fire control system of the "Kunlun-class" battleship is desperately superior. Although it cannot reach the terrifying ability of the "Yingzhou-class" to directly kill aircraft with double-barreled guns, it can control each of the four-barreled turrets and aim at one The planes rushed to shoot, but there was no problem at all. It was easy to feel that it was holding a super long bamboo pole to poke the fruit within reach.

After the introduction of the 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun, it has been optimized.The barrel is lengthened by 70 times, and the rate of fire is increased to 120 rounds per hour. The four guns are assembled together, and are supplied by a fully automatic machine with 60 rounds at a time, and can be replaced at any time according to the needs of intelligent fire control.

Then the entire turret is installed on a rotary turret deep into the hull, which can rotate freely 360 degrees, so there is almost no shooting dead angle; each turret hangs inward and deadlocks when it is not in combat, and synchronously has a high-strength gun with a thickness of 150mm. Wrapped in an alloy shield, it is difficult to damage unless it is directly hit by a large-caliber main gun.And most of the guns fired flatly are more difficult to penetrate the surrounding arc-shaped shields, and their anti-strike capabilities are not weaker than the main guns of battlecruisers!

This is the benefit of having advanced technology and space alloys.Zhu Bin's entire spaceship is filled with metal space junk, how much is enough for him to squander, the price?That cannot be calculated!

The quadruple-mounted anti-aircraft guns under intelligent fire control form a stable killing formation for the guns fired at the target.The one-time covering space is not large, but it can just fit an aircraft in it. Once it is aimed, two or three salvos of guns with a muzzle velocity exceeding 1000 meters will surely win the bid once. Just one time is enough to blow up a screw plane. !

Therefore, in theory, such a battleship is enough to deal with a combined attack of less than [-] aircraft. Even if there is a fish that slips through the net in the end, there will be more accurate close-in defense guns!

The anti-aircraft guns were fully fired, and a huge cloud of explosion smoke was formed in the sky. A chaotic coalition plane crashed into it, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into fragments and fell down.

Their task can be regarded as completed!On the two wings, the remaining bombers pierced through the gunpowder, sprawling from the front and rear ends of the battleship into a distance of 3000 meters, and they did not dare to neglect to shoot immediately---they all knew that the big guy had even more terrifying defensive weapons on him. They can't get past it at all!

Seven or eight airborne torpedoes on one side "plop plop plop" into the sea water, and after the square wooden stabilizer wing at the rear hit and broke off, the propeller started, and the slender little guy splashed a piece of water bubbles and rushed straight ahead, the speed was getting faster and faster!

On the battleship, the sonar array installed on the bulbous bow immediately caught the signal, and the siren sounded annoyingly in the center!The captain who took over the command calmly glanced at the slender figure on the holographic screen that was approaching the water surface calmly in front of the console, and then turned off the alarm casually. That little threat is not worth mentioning!

It's not self-importance. In fact, the airborne torpedoes these days are really not very threatening.Not to mention the extremely slow speed, and the charge of only over 100 kilograms, but the painful accuracy, and the timing of the detonating firing pin, all add great uncertainty, Not to mention whether it can hit or not, even if it hits, whether it can explode or not is another matter!

What's more, the "Kunlun-class" battleship, how can such a thing be able to catch up casually!

The two battleships coincided with each other, and suddenly increased their power output as if they had taken medicine. The four five-bladed propellers accelerated their speed, and the 26-33-ton steel body accelerated extremely quickly from [-] knots to [-] knots, and it was as soft as a knife on the sea. Like a skateboard, he randomly drew down a beautiful big S-shaped trajectory, and when the torpedoes slowly approached, they could only bounce twice in vain on the slowly recovering trajectory.Then the power ran out and slowly sank to the bottom of the water.

The whole change was seen on the holographic screen in the bridge command room. Seeing that the torpedo attack method that had made them fearful was so lightly resolved, the seniors didn't know what to say for a while. --- Between people.Why is the gap so big? [

In their era, no matter how the torpedo was released, as long as they saw the track drawn by the torpedo on the water, the people on the ship would not stiffen in fear, and the sailors would stare at it with wide-eyed eyes. The fast-approaching terrifying steel shark, the captain commanded desperately to dodge.As long as you can avoid it, who doesn't break out in a cold sweat!

That's still the case of facing two fish at a time!Now, seven or eight at a time, or even more!

Zhu Bin said with a smile: "It's nothing! In the past, the little Japanese cruisers launched more than a dozen fast 610mm oxygen torpedoes at a time. In fact, that's all. Get on an advanced modern warship! If we catch up, even that little charge will not be able to pierce our waterline armor!"

Chen Shaokuan had personally witnessed a similar scene, so he nodded in endorsement without hesitation, and a group of old seniors were shocked to say the same, feeling sad, their little things.There is really nothing to show off.

After releasing the torpedoes, the TBF bombers did not dare to stay longer. With the power of the fuselage's natural upward jump after dropping the torpedoes, they accelerated with all their strength, turned around and fled, and never formed a group. They each chose a direction and ran away. The purpose is to prevent being caught in a pot.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel!It's one thing to let them drop torpedoes, but it's not that easy to leave after the fight!

The airspace where the battleship is located, with a radius of [-] kilometers, is completely shielded by wires.The signal between the sea and the sky was completely blocked, and the remaining fleet could not obtain the navigation signal of the fleet, let alone greet other companions. After successfully breaking away, they did not dare to fly too high.Soon, the battleship was more than ten kilometers away, and the anti-aircraft guns were basically out of reach. Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a series of fighting guides rushed from the sky, beating them all over the sky. !

Fleet sailing without air force escort?How is that possible!No matter how arrogant Zhu Bin is, he will not make people toss like abolishing his martial arts!

It is true that the "Kunlun-class" battleships have strong defense and attack capabilities, but it does not mean that they are not afraid of anything. God knows if the enemy will come up with something?Just in case, there must be an aircraft covering it within a certain distance.

It's just that in the face of such a large-scale air strike, the addition of a very small number of escort planes will not have much effect. Wandering around is like a destroyer dragging behind, because it's coming up, and it can't be of much help.

But they still have to play a role, that is, to deal with these bastards who want to leave when they are done fighting!Leaving the range of the battleship's firepower, just after relaxing, he suddenly came out and gave him a violent beating, that was really desperate!

The escorts are all "Flying Shark-e" fighter jets that have stayed in the air for a long time. They can easily wander in the sky for several hours until the fuel is exhausted. Stay as long as you want, our aircraft is advanced and can withstand it!

With mental calculations, the two-aircraft formation worked together, and the scattered bombers were blown up one by one in the air. A few saw the situation was bad and tried to repeat the same trick, fleeing from a low altitude close to the sea level, how could it be so easy!

The poor maneuverability of the TBF bomber and the maximum speed of more than 400 have an advantage over warships, and it is vulnerable to air superiority professional fighters whose speed is more than double their speed!Before flying a few kilometers, they were named and destroyed by the hunters who came up with machine guns!

This wave of air attack lasted less than half an hour before it was completely over. The scene was spectacular and fierce. At the end, the two target battleships were intact, not even a single shot was dropped, and the surrounding sea area was full of wreckage and oil stains. , and the skydiving pilot who floats and sinks.

The remaining bombers who followed up in the second echelon also arrived at this time!

However, they were fortunate enough to witness the whole process of the battle behind them, especially when they saw the same kind of bombers being hunted one by one while fleeing. --- Such an enemy.There is really no good way to deal with it!

They are very wise not to follow the same attack --- that is almost like sending to death, the destroyers and weird large cruisers that have not seen others have followed up?Soon it will be lined up as a defensive posture with heavy troops surrounded inside and outside, and the anti-aircraft firepower will undoubtedly be even more fierce and unstoppable!

As a result, the remaining hundreds of aircraft in total began to circle in the air, and the covering 7m and f4u ran to the periphery of the bomber group.Be vigilant and track those esoteric escort fighters to fight and prevent them from rushing in to kill the bombers, which is not worth the candle.

The coalition pilots hid in the anti-aircraft gun-threatening airspace [-] kilometers away and looked at the target from a distance, feeling awkward in their hearts. Is this threatening others, or being threatened by others?Can't tell!

They don't come to fight.Zhu Bin was also not interested in using poles to deal with it. It was just a group of small planes, and it was not a big deal.

The reconnaissance plane, which watched the battle from behind and took pictures, flew back frantically early. After breaking out of the wire shielding area, it immediately began to verbally report the whole process of what it saw. It was so tragic and spectacular.The foreheads of the British and American generals who had never seen before couldn't help turning blue and sweating on their foreheads!It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I feel helpless! [

Especially the British guy, who has never fought against the Chinese navy, let alone seen such a scene. He was full of disbelief and disbelief in his heart, and repeatedly confirmed with his wide-eyed eyes: "Are you sure you read it right? One hundred Aircraft. Attacking two warships, they couldn’t even break through the air defense network! Do their guns have eyes? Or can they turn themselves?!”

How hard is it to hit a plane with a naval gun?They are all old navy, who doesn't know!That is definitely not the level of tracking a moving target with a rifle in hand, but the troublesome level of bombarding mosquitoes with a cannon!

Battleships are always lumps of iron. The firing angle and range of the turrets are limited. The number, rate of fire, and density are even more limited. The wide airspace allows small aircraft to pass through too many places. How can they not rush through?

Nanyun Zhongyi coughed lightly and said: "As we said, the radar and fire control of the Chinese battleship are very powerful! They seem to be equipped with a separate fire control radar for each turret. They can target a single target for long-range strikes independently, while their The artillery shooting technique also seems to be very powerful, similar sieges have been launched many times by our Empire United Fleet, and the effect is not good!"

Lieutenant General Philips really wanted to yell at him: "Why didn't you say it earlier!" When you think about it, people have already said it, but they don't believe it at all.

The Yankees have experienced it firsthand, and that was when the entire Pacific Fleet encircled and suppressed a warship... It seems even more embarrassing to say it!

Lieutenant General Philips really couldn't accept this fact, and said anxiously: "Is there really no way to deal with them? We have all witnessed the effect of the air force's attack on warships. How could this be..."

The other two sighed together, he has an exception for everything!Our country's anti-aircraft guns can't handle it, but it doesn't mean they can't do it!Without such capabilities, what qualifications does the Chinese navy have to grow rapidly from a few small sampans to such an extent under the threat of a huge combined fleet!

There is another item that General Kimmel will not disclose, that is, the wire bomb fuze gun that they regard as a strategic secret. The U.S. Navy’s own exercise test shows that after improving the air defense system, it can rely on the fuzzy detection of the fire control radar. , Focus fire, even a destroyer, with its ten to fifteen 127mm guns, is enough to deal with a formation of ten or eight aircraft. The hit rate can only be described as horror!

"Maybe we can only wait for faster and better aircraft, or the horizontal strike of heavy bombers."

Nagumo Chuichi shook his head, all the tricks of the Japanese United Fleet have been tried, and the result is obvious, it doesn't matter.It is still the most reliable to concentrate a large number of battleships close to the attack!

The rest of the planes did not get on the pole to die, leaving a part of the high-mobility fighter jets around the fleet to harass them like flies, not letting them relax and get a rest. They must always be vigilant, and the slow bombers were withdrawn to the periphery , See if you can find an opportunity to take cold shots.

The ocean-going fleet continued to advance at a high speed toward the three-armed combined fleet, which was divided into three. The overall speed slowly dropped to 28 knots, but it was still much faster than the speed of the coalition forces. It looked like the virtue of taking the initiative to seek death.

The destroyer that had fallen behind quickly moved in, escorting the left, right and rear of the two battleships, while the "Yingzhou" was slowly lifted up from the rear, forming a prismatic position with the foremost light cruiser, and became a battleship. The leading force in the middle of the entire formation, I don't know, I thought this guy was the flagship.

This tossing has brought the formations of the two armies closer by hundreds of kilometers, and the distance between them is only [-] kilometers. If the shielding area of ​​wires and electricity is not expanded, the coalition reconnaissance plane can clearly see the target and report back directly. The situation of the ship!

According to the experience and reminders of the Japanese army, the coalition ships have increased their vigilance. They know that the guy on the other side has a terrible rocket weapon that can launch a precise attack from a hundred kilometers away. Who knows that their new super battleship will not be equipped with a big guy with a higher range. ?

This feeling of being attacked at any time is very uncomfortable!But nay, because that was avoidable!

Another hour later, the aircraft group that was going to attack Ryukyu Island failed completely. The remaining ones fled in embarrassment and flew towards the aircraft carrier formation. The submarine belonging to the ocean-going fleet came out suddenly from a depth of 200 meters. Several torpedoes killed the half-submerged and half-floating opponent. The huge water column of the explosion made the coalition forces only tens of kilometers away tremble with fear---Chinese, come here! (To be continued.
