The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

"Haha! My luck is invincible indeed! I met a big fish when I came up!"

On the "Songshan" battleship, Wang Wenda looked at the approaching US fleet on the holographic screen, patted the table and laughed loudly.

His nickname of "Commander Shit Luck" was not given for nothing.Since joining the army, every time he led an army to go out, no matter how dangerous the situation was, he always managed to turn the crisis into a safe place, and he didn't scratch his skin at all. Let alone today, the troops were divided into two groups to besiege Nimitz, who also played cards that did not follow common sense. By accident, I touched the real master.

The flagship flag waving in the wind on the "Saratoga" is extremely clear and conspicuous in the lens of the reconnaissance plane. Under the mental calculation, Wang Wenda never thinks that the Americans will respond so quickly and make people pretend to be the commander of the fleet. When it came out as a bait, there was no time to say anything, and it was impossible for the U.S. military to figure out its own actions.This is a one-way transparent battle, very unfair, but this is the reality.

The distance between each other is less than 70 kilometers. The aircraft carrier and other ships escorted by Nimitz did not divide their forces, or plan to escape or something.Knowing all the enemy's intelligence, he knew in his heart that the only reason why he hadn't suffered a devastating blow at such a short distance was that the other party had other plans.

Nimitz resolutely rejected the suggestion of the only escorting heavy cruiser and other destroyers to cover his retreat, and decisively ordered Doolittle to lead all the bombers to take off immediately, but instead of attacking the enemy, they went to catch up and retreat. The Halsey Fleet in Panama, after helping them survive the siege and interception, escaped to land as much as possible.

This is equivalent to dismantling all the vital forces of the fleet!

The generals and officers up and down were very puzzled by Nimitz's order, but under his strong order, he reluctantly implemented it, and when the staff suggested that the fleet feint, Nimitz said unabashedly My own judgment: "We can only continue to fight forward! If we make an escape move, the Chinese's long-range attack will arrive in the next moment. At that time, we will not even have a chance to retain the last bit of vitality!"

Everyone is silent.By now, they have also understood the huge gap in strength between the enemy and us, which really cannot be made up by numbers alone, let alone.They don't even have the upper hand now.

But even so, you can't just watch the Supreme Commander personally charge into the battle to die. At their firm request, a Catalina plane is on standby next to the flagship. If the situation is not good, it will immediately carry General Nimitz Flee from the battlefield.With the ultra-long range of this patrol aircraft, it is enough to fly back to land safely.

The so-called difference between officers and soldiers exists in reality, and no one thinks it is unfair to do so.Nimitz has been able to persist until now and has not escaped. He has fully fulfilled his duties as a commander, and there is nothing to complain about.

But the appearance of fighting is always something to do.After the b25 brigade led by Doolittle and the other slow bombers all left, the rest of the carrier-based fighter jets and attack planes took off immediately. After gathering in formation, they circled around from both sides and prepared to attack the enemy from the rear attitude.

All this fell into Wang Wenda's scouting line of sight, seeing that the three large and small aircraft carriers on the opposite side did not escape immediately.Instead, it was sandwiched among the escort ships to seize the upper hand with naval warfare strategies, and took off a large number of various fighter planes.He also couldn't help expressing his admiration: "It seems that Yankees are not all trash. Knowing that they can't run away, they decisively adopt the best counterattack strategy, hehe, it's not boring at all! If that's the case, let's help them !"

The two battleships "Songshan" and "Huashan" immediately rushed out.One point left and right, forming two majestic sharp corners, quickly widening the distance between each other from the previous 10 kilometers to 20 kilometers, and opening a ferocious mouth towards the Nimitz formation in the distance!

The cruisers and destroyers that followed did not show the meaning of poor range at all.Speeding up without lagging behind at all, all anti-aircraft weapons have entered the first-level security, just waiting for the fighter planes in the sky to pounce down to find excitement!

But a few minutes later, Wang Wenda suddenly understood what it meant!High in the sky, the group of bombers that they valued the most supported the rest of the fighters from a distance. After the formation was completed, it seemed to be halfway in the posture of attacking from the right side, and suddenly turned from the middle, accelerating and heading straight to the east!

"Damn! Run away?!"

Wang Wenda came back, cursed angrily, and immediately called the aircraft carrier squadron: "Take care of the planes of the Yankees for me, grandma's, the meat that is delivered to my mouth dares to jump, no so easy!"

He regretted a little that he shouldn't have thrown away all the troublesome two aircraft carriers in the first place. If one was left behind, a group of carrier-based aircraft would be dispatched now, and maybe the group of enemy planes could be stopped?

There is no medicine for regret in the world, and besides, those fighter planes are just small gadgets, which do not affect the overall situation, he just feels that it is embarrassing.

On the sea, the heavy cruiser "Salt Lake City" under Nimitz's command lined up with the light cruiser "Nashville", together with the rest of the destroyers, along the advancing route like a scimitar, from the right side at full speed Cut a long arc, press the three aircraft carriers on the abdomen, change from the original parallel formation to a column, and meet the "Songshan" that is rushing.

The fleet in the sky did not feint ahead of time, and slowly hovered at low altitude to cooperate with the forward maneuver of the ship. It was delayed until the distance between each other was reduced to forty kilometers, and then suddenly accelerated, and climbed up to the ceiling at full speed. , After a short stay at the height of 8000 meters, one by one, like an osprey, suddenly fell down with their heads upside down!

Hundreds of fighter planes made such intense maneuvers together, it seems that the scene is truly astonishing!Especially when the engine is fully turned on, with the help of potential energy, regardless of whether the pilot's body is affected or not, and regardless of whether the body structure will fall apart, the maximum speed and angle are single-minded, and the convenience of the opponent's anti-aircraft fire is minimized. , The almost suicidal high-speed impact is really the first of its kind in the U.S. Air Force tactics!

This move can be called fresh!If it is made by an attack aircraft, it is understandable, but if a fighter jet plays like this, then it is really desperate!If you don't pay attention, you may lose control, or spin, or the engine will stall.Or the body disintegrated, or the pilot's brain became too congested and died directly... All kinds of dangers exist, and the success rate?That only God knows!

Wang Wenda didn't feel nervous about this at all, just slightly surprised, and laughed loudly: "I don't know what a unique move, but I learned from the little devil's kamikaze assault! I want to break Lao Tzu's golden body. There are no doors! There are all of them, give me a blast!"

Without his ordering, the artillery fire of each ship was already ready. With an order to fire, the "Iron Curtain" rocket interception system of the light cruiser exploded first!The two rocket pods sprayed out at the maximum elevation angle "嗤嗤嗤", and the densely-packed guided rockets roared into the sky, forming a two-row and four-layer staggered blocking grid at an altitude of about 5000 meters. When the first more than 20 fighters rushed forward, they were under the unified operation of the intelligent fire control system.According to the height scrambling to explode!

"Boom! Crack!"

In the clear blue sky, an explosion zone with a width of several hundred meters and a length of three kilometers suddenly appeared!Among them are tens of thousands of prefabricated fragments and steel ball warheads flying wildly at a high speed of thousands of meters per second!The airspace covered by each rocket is as large as 100 meters, and the dive fighter plane seems to crash into the clouds bursting with steel flames. Even with thick armor, the weak cockpit and upper fuselage can't hold much. In an instant, amidst the intensive explosion of hail hitting the iron sheet, at least fifteen or six fighters were blasted into sieves, ignited a fire and dragged billowing smoke, screaming and crashing into the sea!

follow closely.The 127mm dual-mounted high-level dual-purpose guns of each ship fired together!This kind of excellent guy with a shooting height of more than 1 meters was originally a naval weapon developed by the Americans.Now it is used on their own heads, not to mention the same sharp killing effect, but the range, rate of fire and explosive power of the improved type are even better!

Whether it is a "Taishan-class" battleship, light cruiser, or destroyer, they are all in accordance with Zhu Bin's personal requirements, making them look like a jungle of turrets.More than a dozen ships staggered each other and fired together, forming two fireworks belts in full bloom at the same time!

The multicolored flames that bloomed upwards were launched from the long and narrow body of the warship, which was 200 meters long and tens of meters wide, but expanded to an explosion zone that was several kilometers long and a kilometer wide at an altitude of several kilometers!The colorful fireworks sandwiched in it look amazing even in broad daylight!

From the outsider's perspective, it is a beautiful scenery, but from the perspective of the swooping US fighter planes.That's hell!

All wireless proximity fuze shells, under the intelligent fire control operation, are completely in the fixed-point sniper mode. Under the attack of two turrets and four guns aimed at a target, almost no one can survive!In the short space of two to 3000 meters, the airspace changed, and more than [-] U.S. fighter planes were lost in one go. The debris formed by the explosion scattered over more than ten square kilometers in the air like a torrential rain!

The tops of the two battleships, which were the primary targets of attack, were immediately covered in brilliant light. The 127mm secondary guns fired at full speed and the 76mm anti-aircraft guns spit out continuous projectiles every second. The majestic figure on the ground pulled out a smoke belt that was one kilometer long!

5000 meters!

The U.S. military fleet suddenly changed its action strategy, and the dense vertical impact formation suddenly exploded, each deflecting towards the outside like a goddess scattered flowers, and deviated from the explosion zone abruptly with a force that almost twisted the keel of the fighter. From a dive angle of more than [-] degrees to [-] or [-] degrees, the large-radius turning and tilting trajectories intersect with each other, forming a super large spiral with a diameter of several kilometers, forming a huge tornado posture around the two battleships. !

This time, more than [-]% of the predicted shells were passed immediately, and it was not a matter of ten or eight seconds for a turret whose running speed could not keep up to make such a large angle adjustment.

However, the U.S. fighter jets are not so easy. In the entire fleet, there are at least seven or eight planes that were severely damaged due to excessive movements, or the pilots lost consciousness. Free fall like a stone, hitting the sea!

But most of them are successful after all!They slammed away from the torrential anti-aircraft artillery fire of the battleship, stealing the short time counted in seconds, and maintained a stable high-speed dive along the spiral trajectory. The strength of the rod controlled the nose of the aircraft, and when it circled three or five times in a row, it finally approached to a height of about a thousand meters, embedded in the open area between the two fleets of ships, and then dispersed again in a herd, each heading towards The intended attack target is fully attacked!

This series of changing actions is enough to make the most experienced commander dizzy and unable to react in time!

Experienced as Wang Wenda.It was also the first time that the boys of the Air Force could play such tricks.It has to be said that it is extremely imaginative to use such a weird and desperate method to break through abruptly and enter the center of the fleet's air strike array to seek fighters!

He forgot, Americans, that is the country where modern airplanes were invented.It is also the country with the most developed aircraft research, the largest number of manufactures, and the fastest update speed in the world today.Dozens of large and small aircraft companies, with hundreds of thousands of employees, are continuously producing various aircrafts that are getting faster and faster every day. In terms of creativity, even Zhu Bin, who is a golden finger, can't do it. It's a little bit better than others.

In the same way, how can Americans who have been flying in the sky for 40 years not engage in some advanced air combat techniques?

Yes, for the time being, people are lagging behind.But it hasn't reached the point where there is no power to fight back!Today, it is obviously a new force, and a new tactic has been applied to launch a breakthrough attack on the desperately powerful Chinese Navy's iron barrel array!

Even fifty or sixty enemy planes rushed in!Wang Wenda took the opportunity to underestimate the enemy a little bit, and after being dazed for a moment, he was furious: "I'm sorry! The American devils have two tricks! This is to let Lao Tzu's artillery fire at each other. Is it going to hurt both sides?"

Can't you?He commanded the siege tactics of two columns.At this time, the ship is separated from the left and right, and the light cruiser is in the middle and rear.In the vast low altitude of more than ten kilometers in the middle, if you want to hit the plane with a large-caliber gun, the shells that miss will inevitably hit your own ship on the opposite side.

However, it was just a moment to be amazed, and he immediately regained his composure.He even smirked: "It's a good idea! Our strength is beyond your comprehension! Let me die!"

The reaction speed of the air battlefield is calculated in seconds. Every second, a fast-diving fighter can run 200 meters.The distance that seems to be far enough is actually only a matter of taking a deep breath, especially when viewed from the plane, the figure of the towering battleship is rapidly expanded and enlarged!

The U.S. fighter planes that had just dispersed, leveled off, and sped up their attack stabilized their course within two seconds before they were locked on by the battleship's counter-control radar. Sixteen anti-aircraft missiles whizzed out, and after rising several hundred meters, they took a steep turn, and the elongated white trails rushed towards each other, swarming towards the fighter plane that had just stabilized, unceremoniously aiming at a fierce When it rushed to the front, the warhead burst forward violently, and countless needle-shaped hard-killing fragments smashed the fighter into a broken lantern in an instant!

"Boom! Boom!"

Intensive explosions bloomed one after another like a pot at low altitude. Each group of fireworks represented a fighter plane being shattered. Pilots even had the opportunity to parachute, which was originally designed to deal with heavy bombers and jet fighters. The anti-air missile smashed the split face, without even a chance to struggle!

The brave U.S. pilots broke out with extraordinary operations under the aroused ferocity. Clusters of fighter jets broke through the billowing fireworks and appeared in the front row, but they saw two battleships, a light cruiser trailing behind, and several phalanxes for close defense. The system suddenly spewed continuous thick streams of fire, sweeping across the air like a whip. Wherever it went, fighter planes that couldn't dodge were hit by more than a dozen small shells the thickness of a thumb in a few tenths of a second!

One shot can seriously injure a fighter jet, and high-explosive bombs that can destroy it in three shots are sprayed on it in a row, so you don't need to think about the fate!And the three ships add up to 11 multi-barreled phalanx close-in defense systems that can fire, and the three-sided iron net formed is staggered and torn. Even if the speed of the propeller plane is driven to the highest speed, it will not escape!

In the distance, taking advantage of the opportunity of the air force to launch a fierce attack, Nimitz, who led the ships to advance quickly, saw the brilliant scene in the sky with binoculars from the high bridge command room. The battleship created an explosion arresting zone several kilometers wide. Such terrifying anti-aircraft firepower made him clearly realize how terrifying the enemy he had to deal with was!It made him judge with a heavy heart, how big the failure of the fighter plane might be!

It can be said that the success rate is not even [-]%!

Every minute, the ships of the two sides are rapidly closing the distance between each other. Just 1 minutes later, the light cruiser and heavy cruiser that came forward blasted the shells of the main guns at the huge oncoming battleship, but it caused a lot of damage. The counterattack turned out to be a deadly 10mm heavy artillery. With just two salvos, the heavy cruiser "Salt Lake City" was pierced through three transparent holes, exploded and caught fire, and the sinking was inevitable!

Immediately afterwards, the two rudimentary 2-ton modified aircraft carriers originally belonging to the Japanese United Fleet had just escaped, and they were blown up on the spot by the "Songshan" continuously releasing four anti-ship missiles. There was not much left, and it sank into the seabed thousands of meters deep with Gululu!

Nimitz himself was fled at full speed by the "Catalina" water patrol plane attached to the sea by his subordinates. In his busy schedule, what he saw when he turned his head was the "Saratoga" retaliating in vain with its twin 127mm guns. The heroic scene of fierce artillery bombardment, steel flying, and fire boiling! (To be continued..)
