The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

What kind of general is there, what kind of soldier is there, and an excellent leader can often imprint the troops under his command with distinctive personal characteristics.

Zhu Bin's indifference and unscrupulousness, which originated from outsiders, had an obvious impact on the entire team. Except for Yu Baoguo and other people who had been influenced by strict Confucianism since childhood, they could still stick to their true colors, and Wang Wenda and other young generals who became monks on the way He really learned from others, and he was not stingy all over the place!

But no matter how presumptuous the appearance is, it is unambiguous at all to start a war!When he ordered to go down rudely, the huge East China Sea Fleet responded immediately, and moved like arms and fingers!

The formation consisting mainly of two aircraft carriers, two heavy cruisers and four destroyers immediately departed from the course and accelerated to outflank the rear of the Nimitz fleet. The two "Taishan-class" battleships took the remaining The destroyer and the light cruiser continued their current course, and also increased their speed to 32 knots, shooting straight at the enemy's waist like a javelin!

Wang Wenda has great ambitions!He is trying to get rid of the little remaining power of the US Pacific Fleet in one fell swoop, so as not to leave any future troubles!

In his thirties, he should be satisfied as the commander of a fleet.However, as the war progressed, after the Japanese navy was quickly wiped out, the existence of the East China Sea Fleet became useless. In external operations, the ocean-going fleet was responsible; in the South Pacific waters, the South China Sea Fleet was active; , He actually became the otaku fleet guarding the mainland!

Wang Wenda is a person who can't be idle at all. He has to find something to do when he has nothing to do. He can't stand it after only half a year of idleness. He can't be happier when he receives the task of escorting the Marine Corps and the Army to the North American continent.Now, he took advantage of Zhu Bin's busy wiping his ass and cleaning up the mess, so he had no time to talk to him.Having won the task of besieging the U.S. Navy, regardless of whether they are not familiar enough with the Pacific waters or whether the ships under them can withstand the long-distance trek of thousands of nautical miles, they came excitedly!

And this shot is a crazy strategy of double flanking and front and rear attack!Even if it has been known, the Nimitz formation in front.It is impressive to have a huge force of six aircraft carriers of various types!

Nimitz is not unprepared for this!Just when Wang Wenda's squadron rushed out about [-] kilometers, a "Catalina" patrol plane deliberately deployed in the rear, using the Panama Canal as a temporary base, spotted their traces from a distance, without hesitation Send out the warning signal at the first time!

At this time, the Nimitz aircraft carrier formation had just crossed the 150-kilometer sonar array warning line, and the flagship "Enterprise" deliberately dragged behind had not yet entered the electromagnetic shielding area. After receiving it, Nimitz made a decisive decision.Let Halsey lead the three main aircraft carriers, Enterprise, Yorktown, and Lexington, to immediately turn around, take a heavy cruiser, four destroyers, two submarines, and supply ships, and immediately turn around and leave. The strike array, himself, raised the Saratoga to a flagship, with two rudimentary carriers from the remnants of the Japanese Navy.Continue to attack forward.

Halsey quit immediately, and protested: "I can't do this! General. You are the commander of the entire Pacific Fleet, and you should be in charge of strategic work as a matter of course. The specific battles are left to us. Well, it is impossible for me to watch you take risks and become a deserter myself!"

He was as stubborn as a stone in a latrine, which made Nimitz quite a headache.But his firm will also does not allow him to change the order, and he ordered without doubt: "The task you shoulder is even more difficult! You must ensure that you will not be surrounded by the Chinese navy. In other words, your actions will directly affect the success or failure of my side! Therefore, you are not running away from the battle. You are buying precious time for the main fleet to complete the mission!"

Halsey couldn't argue with Nimitz, so he had to compromise after a while. Watching the commander transfer the entire department to the Saratoga, he roared with resentment and ordered the squadron: "Boys! Damn it! The Chinamen want to surround us and destroy us, I want to say, this is delusional! Great American Navy, never afraid of any challenge! Since they want to fight, let them fight! Follow me and kick them hard ass!"

"Huh! Yoho! Fuck the yellow-skinned monkey to death!"

Enthusiastic American soldiers let out bursts of shouts, and on the deck of the aircraft carrier, hundreds of ground crews shook their fists vigorously at the echoing loudspeaker, jumped up and yelled.

Military spirit is available!Halsey was relieved.It seems that the spirit of fighting has not been completely lost because of the previous consecutive defeats. After all, the U.S. Navy is still relatively strong. With the strong national power as the backing, they should have this kind of bravery that disdains everything!

The three aircraft carriers immediately turned around with the auxiliary ships, but they cut to the rear of Wang Wenda's aircraft carrier squadron. This was an anti-encirclement posture.Of course, the information is all temporary, and until there is no follow-up, they can't tell whether what they encounter at that time is the other party's ass, or the poisonous mouth that came back!

Nimitz was not that optimistic at all. In fact, his heart was heavy, and the pressure was as heavy as a mountain!

From the beginning of the war, he understood a basic principle that the battlefield is one-way transparent to the Chinese.In every battle, the opponent can always find out in advance and respond quickly, and there will never be a chance of a successful sneak attack.Conversely, if they want to attack, they will definitely be able to do so. This ability is actually the most terrifying!

People can fight as they want, and they can run there ahead of time if they want to come. The dominant power is in hand, and the passive side is exhausted, and the probability of failure is too high!

Just like now, when I do a little activity, people actually know it in advance. The estimated five to seven days of action time is directly compressed to no more than 12 hours. What kind of consequences will such a big gap lead to?The simplest judgment is that when the entire fleet rushes to the vicinity of the core target to launch an attack, the opponent's attacking force has already completed the encirclement and deployment, cut off the rear, and calmly trapped the entire fleet on the vast sea !

It is not impossible to achieve complete annihilation.In the entire formation, the aircraft carriers with the largest range are only about [-] nautical miles. If the engine power is fully turned on during the battle, it may be reduced to [-] to [-] nautical miles, and it is nearly three miles away from any coast. thousands of nautical miles.As long as the opponent entangles for two days, the fuel of the entire fleet may not be enough to support the return!

This is still an aircraft carrier. The continuous combat range of those destroyers is shorter, and it is only three to five thousand nautical miles when they are dead. There is no supply or even going back halfway.Trouble will come naturally!

Knowing oneself and the enemy, Nimitz couldn't be more optimistic.But right now he has the only choice, because even if he turns back with all his strength, the opponent will intercept him halfway, and it is impossible for him to have the opportunity to go to Panama. How much benefit can be obtained.How much is it!

After the fleet separated, Nimitz then ordered the carrier-based amphibious force to disperse to the two wings and occupy all the three offshore platforms that were discovered one after another. In this case, the platform becomes a dead object that cannot be moved, but something that can be removed from it.It is also commendable enough.

Ahead, after the first wave of fighters hit the wall briefly.The bomber turned around and climbed cautiously from the 20-kilometer perimeter to a high altitude, continuing to look for opportunities to break in.

More than 30 fighter planes ventured to the outer roundabout from an ultra-low altitude close to the water surface.Just after crossing the 15000-meter border, another sudden blow shattered them one by one, as if there was an invisible barrier lying there.It seems that nothing can penetrate!

Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly issued a light signal to order the suspension of the attack. He took the rest of the fighters and began to circle around, tentatively advancing, to see where there were loopholes to exploit.

An hour passed by.The fleet was divided into two parts and acted separately. The destroyer that was coming forward was getting closer and closer. The three ships separated in a triangle tentatively moved forward and made a snake-like maneuver, but they did not receive any strange attacks.

The Doolittle fleet found helplessly that they had no loopholes to take advantage of!On the silent ring-shaped floating island platform in the distance, there seemed to be no dead-end defense system, no matter whether he charged alone or charged in groups, he couldn't get through!The power to blow up the fighter plane in the air with one blow is so powerful and weird that it makes people desperate!

He naturally didn't know that this sea base was equipped with the second set of electromagnetic gun tactical defense system successfully researched by Zhu Bin Bright City. Compared with the set on Wake Island, it was more powerful. The launch tower, the intelligent radar fire control integrating sea and air, plus the assistance of synchronous satellites, and the trinity coordinate locking of the underwater sonar array, not to mention fighter jets, even a slightly larger seabird, don’t even try to avoid it!

The huge electromagnetic giant tower in the middle of the base not only receives surging power over long distances, but also a floating nuclear reactor and a submarine volcanic power station, which provide a continuous power of more than 1000 million kilowatts in total.

These twelve small electromagnetic railguns alone are enough to form a 15-25 km crossfire network, and the ring platform below is equipped with dual 127mm high-level dual-purpose guns, 150mm anti-aircraft guns, 203mm and even 305mm coastal defense guns. It is densely packed, all erected, and there are proper turrets like a forest!

On average, there is a cannon almost every 50 meters. The shells are either wireless proximity fuzes, remote-controlled explosions, guided, or bottom concave extended range...and sea-based missiles Interception system and the like, this is a huge hedgehog base!

Zhu Bin's sense of insecurity in a foreign country, and the dangerous situation of being close to the United States, made him spare no effort to pile up various weapons and equipment, second only to the large-scale computer of the spaceship's brain, especially Serena's The first batch of artificial intelligence systems produced by Biochemical Brain as prototypes were set up in the base of the center. In terms of value, it is immeasurable!

The Americans, even the navy under Commander Nimitz, don't actually know what kind of terrible thing they are planning. If they know, they may become even crazier, or they have to think hard about whether to calculate it or not.

For more than an hour, more than 30 fighter planes were destroyed, and the defense line with a radius of [-] kilometers was insurmountable!

Finally, the destroyer at the forefront drove into the 20 kilometers. It didn't dare to rush in. It immediately turned its buttocks and emptied the two quadruple torpedo tubes. The eight torpedoes combined with Japanese technology quickly accelerated to 50 knots. , rushing out of a faint flight path close to the water surface, and swooping towards the ring platform!

That is not a ship that can run, and if it cannot move, it will definitely not escape the torpedo attack!

In the sky, under the intense attention of countless people, the eight torpedoes lived up to expectations and quickly crossed 15 kilometers and 10 kilometers. 5 kilometers, continue to advance at high speed!

Just when everyone thought they were going to succeed, white smoke suddenly rose from the calm arc-shaped platform, followed by a dazzling red light, and dozens of slender rockets flew into the air, crossing the 1000-meter line in the blink of an eye.Plunging headlong into the water, like a group of playful dolphins, the flames ejected from the tail evaporated the sea water to form a boiling track, and blocked the torpedo running in a straight line, just as the bulky 533mm torpedo broke into the 10-meter signal When probing the radius, it exploded!

Specially used to deal with underwater targets, the rocket depth bomb system with a maximum depth of 200 meters!A launch tower has 12 shots, and each 203mm rocket has an underwater destruction radius of more than 8 meters. Multiple shots are combined to form an underwater destruction array.The destruction chain is as long as 100 meters. No matter how strong the shell of the intruding torpedo is, it will never be spared under such continuous and rigorous explosions!

Boom!The torpedo with 240 kilograms of high-explosive mixed explosives was detonated, and the earth-shattering loud noise spread along the water for dozens of kilometers. The huge water column that vacated hundreds of meters looked like a mountain rising from the ground, which was spectacular!

The eight torpedoes rushing in chaotically were all stopped and killed by four groups of deep rocket shells 800 meters away.Not one was spared, not one was missed!

The fighter planes flying back and forth in the sky witnessed this scene with their own eyes.Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle couldn't help being discouraged, it was so unreasonable!Could it be that the platform ahead has no loopholes at all?

After receiving the report, Nimitz remained calm and firm, and ordered the other two destroyers to join in the torpedo attack, and then continued to bombard a narrow front.And tentatively move forward to find out other defense methods of the opponent.

In addition, let the amphibious soldiers carried by the three ships take rubber boats, spread out with the smallest combat units, and rush towards the ring platform.Further test the opponent's defense density, to what extent it can reach.

The two destroyers on the two wings quickly approached, and the first one released four rubber boats in a row, and under the drive of a gasoline engine, they deftly jumped over the waves and sprinted at a speed of 30 knots.And the destroyer itself continued to move forward. Just after crossing the 15-kilometer line, the bow of the ship was suddenly hit six times in a row with "bang bang bang". The weak front armor was easily blasted open six washbasin-sized holes. Three consecutive bulkhead steel plates were smashed, not to mention causing a fire!

The inexplicable attack that came close to the sea directly penetrated the compartment from the bow to the front turret, and finally the shattered alloy warhead swept inside with a fan-shaped spray, smashing more than a dozen soldiers into sieves on the spot!Two of the holes close to the waterline poured water into them with the action of the bow splitting the waves!

This change shocked the officers and soldiers of the whole ship and didn't know what to do!

But they couldn't help thinking about it, the second wave of electromagnetic shells swarmed in again!This time, it was aimed at the towering bridge, with another six warheads, two of which penetrated into the waist, and hit the place where it passed through, causing more than a dozen casualties!

Another two blasts broke the mainmast, and two more blasted the chimney. The same high-speed friction caused a fire. The scattered warheads caused greater casualties, and the billowing smoke immediately rose!

The captain who was almost frightened out of his soul hastily asked the signalman to light the lights to the rest of the ships and air units, and waved flags to inform them of the attack. The two destroyers that had just approached stopped advancing immediately, but only then remembered , it's too late!

On the platform, there was suddenly another burst of fireworks, a dozen forts erupted together, and dozens of shells ranging from 127mm to 203mm swarmed in, drowning the first destroyer with outrageous precision. , Rumbling and roaring, seven or eight holes were blasted out on the spot, two of the 203mm shells blasted from the deck into the bilge, the explosion completely killed the boiler, the battleship cracked in the middle, crookedly pouring water, sinking at the same time !

The air unit relayed the situation to the flagship quickly. Nimitz twitched his cheeks slightly, not too surprised, and nodded calmly: "This is normal. It is impossible for such an important base to not have a strong defense. Then, Bomber formation, you can launch a formal attack!"

As the commander, Nimitz knew best what they were doing.Not to mention the technology possessed in the target base, these platforms alone are worth a lot, and getting a huge fortune is worth even destroying the entire Pacific Fleet.The most critical thing is the shocking news revealed by the people of the four major families---Zhu Bin's City of Light possesses the active substance that can restore health, rejuvenate, and prolong life. The research base is most likely here!

Some papers that have not been leaked, as well as top doctors who came out to give health checks and treat diseases to high-ranking Chinese officials and rich people, inadvertently revealed the information that the thing came from the ocean. An analysis can draw conclusions.

It's just that the news was received a little late, and after repeated confirmation, the Pacific Fleet was also severely beaten, caught off guard, and there was no way to talk about a comprehensive mopping up.Nimitz's actions right now are nothing but a desperate move, but if it succeeds, it will be worth everything!

The stronger the blocking force encountered by him and the fleet, the more credible the intelligence, then the next step is to let go!

Dolittle received the signal in the air, his spirits were immediately lifted, and he immediately sent a signal to the surroundings. Immediately afterwards, the remaining 15 B-25s followed one after another, connecting with their landlines, and flying from an altitude of 6 kilometers. Two bombs each weighing 1.5 tons were dropped.

What is different from the past is that the thick waist of these bombs has four more wings with a width of 3 meters, and a horizontal rudder at the tail. It looks like a miniature version of the plane. After unlocking and falling more than 100 meters, it actually rushed towards To the circular platform --- this is a brand new glide bomb!
