Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2330 Frigate Liwei

No matter what Nagumo's motives were, he finally grasped the gist of the Timor Sea naval battle.The contest between aircraft carrier fleets, of course, aims to sink the opponent's aircraft carrier as the first goal.Once the aircraft carrier sinks, it means that the fighters carried by the aircraft carrier will lose the possibility of being recovered.What's more, the party that owns the aircraft carrier will have the ability to launch long-range pursuit and strikes, and can provoke battles without its own fleet being threatened.The party without an aircraft carrier can only be beaten passively, and if it does not receive reinforcements from the aviation force, its destruction will only be a matter of time.In this regard, Chen Shichang's strategy is actually problematic.Of course, because Nan Yunzhong no longer has mobile fighter groups and mobile fleets in his hands, even if he understands, it is already too late.The series of orders he issued at the end actually became the last struggle of the Yamato aircraft carrier fleet to get rid of the fate of failure.

The frigates of the Xuebing Army are currently in one category - "Hengshan class".This type of ship is divided into three types according to the displacement, among which the displacement of 2108 tons is the first model, the displacement of 2686 tons is the latest model, and the displacement of 2213 tons is transformed from some old destroyers from the French Far East Fleet. Come.The three types of frigates have different displacements, but their armaments are almost the same. They are equipped with 12 Poseidon ship-to-ship missiles, plus three rocket turrets and several machine guns or anti-aircraft machine guns.The Hengshan-class frigate does not have a main turret, which is the biggest difference between this type of ship and ships of the same class in other countries.This has something to do with Ouyang Yun's positioning of it. In Ouyang Yun's refutation of Chen Ce and others' words at the time: the frigate, the key is to provide anti-submarine and air defense cover for the main battleship, and there is no need for long-range artillery.

In Nagumo Tadashi's eyes, the Hengshan-class frigate of the Pacific Fleet is still a type of destroyer, but in the eyes of Abe Hiroki, he doesn't pay attention to this small ship of about [-] tons at all.Hiroshi Abe underestimated the Hengshan-class frigate, not because of his aloof personality, but because compared with the heavy cruiser he commanded, the Hengshan-class frigate was really inconspicuous.

The flagship of Koki Abe is the heavy cruiser Nachi.This type of ship is not the best performance among the heavy cruisers under its command. Its ability to become the flagship depends on the historical honor of the ship.Because it participated in the Taikan Ship Ceremony of Emperor Showa's enthronement ceremony held in Yokohama in December of the third year of Showa, it was often valued by Japanese naval officers, and therefore it was often designated as the flagship of a certain fleet.

The performance parameters of the Nachi heavy cruiser are not outstanding among the many heavy cruisers of the Japanese army, but compared with the Hengshan-class frigate, it is also completely overwhelming.Displacement, [-] tons; main gun, [-] main guns with a caliber of [-]mm——On these alone, the Hengshan-class frigate is far beyond comparison.This is the capital of Abe ignoring the Hengshan-class frigate.

Of course, it was the Hengshan-class frigate that Abe ignored first.

If you take a bird's-eye view from the air, you will see that the fleets of the two warring parties are showing such a change. The fleets of both sides are gradually divided into two clusters - some giant warships start to slow down, while some large warships and small warships accelerate towards each other. , The distance between the giant ship swarm and the mixed swarm composed of large warships and small warships is getting farther and farther. When the mixed swarms of the two sides collide, the sea is actually divided into three new swarms.In the sea area where the ships of both sides exchanged fierce fire, there were clusters of fighter planes tumbling and entangled in the sky.The rumble of guns on the sea, the fireworks and huge waves caused by the explosion of large shells, plus the smoke from the chimneys of battleships and the engines of fighter planes, the fireballs and smoke balls produced by explosions of fighter planes, and the lines of fire formed by tracer bullets are intertwined. This area, the scene is like hell.

Like the three frigate groups in the Pacific Fleet, the five frigates under Li Zhuoqi's command took the lead in attacking.The two heavy cruisers located 35 kilometers southeast of them became the first targets of attack.Li Zhuoqi unified command, and following his order: "Fight!" The frigate he was on opened fire first, with a muffled "boom", and then with a "poof", a Poseidon missile dragged its orange tail. Flame flew out.Although the Hengshan-class frigate is small in tonnage, it has high technological content. The most prominent feature is that this type of frigate is equipped with a new type of sea defense radar and supporting fire control system.Through this set of equipment, the students in charge of manipulating missiles and rocket launchers can easily obtain the coordinates of the target, and then add the weather and other factors into the calculation to obtain a more accurate launch angle.

The flight trajectory of the missile was too obvious, so when the missile was about 5000 meters away from the target enemy ship, it was discovered by the ghost soldiers.The missile is still a strange object to the devils, they take it for granted that it is a shell, and a shell of such a caliber scares the devils on the target enemy ship.The missile was still about ten kilometers away from them, and they all exclaimed in unison.However, as if the missile was going to trick them on purpose, it lost power when it was 3000 meters away from them and fell into the sea.

Both Li Zhuoqi and Abe Hongyi used binoculars to monitor the missile. When Li Zhuoqi saw this, he cursed angrily: "Damn it!" while Abe Hongyi exhaled softly: "Eight grids!"

"Can a destroyer fire shells of this caliber?" Behind Abe, the captain of the Nachi, Shibuya Shiro, asked.

"It should have been launched by the Chinaman's heavy cruiser!" Abe replied.

Not far behind Li Zhuoqi's troops, there were several heavy cruisers.

Shibuya Zilang frowned slightly, thinking: Am I delusional?Thinking about shaking his head.

Li Zhuoqi cursed bitterly, and then issued an order: "One shot per ship, launch!"

"Yes!" "Received!" "Launch!"...

The five frigates launched at the same time, and the five Poseidon launched into the air one after another, drawing a beautiful arc in mid-air, and flew towards the two heavy cruisers running in front.

This time, Abe Hongyi also saw clearly where the "cannonball" came from, and he couldn't help being startled.

Shibuya Shiro put down the binoculars and said loudly: "Your Excellency, those destroyers launched it!"

Abe said in a deep voice: "Order the first patrol team to attack them!"

The first heavy cruiser team consisted of the two heavy cruisers targeted by Li Zhuoqi and the others.The two devil captains received Abe's order and were conveying it to the artillery. A Poseidon roared, hit the island of the heavy cruiser on the left wing of the fleet and exploded violently.A huge cloud of mushrooms rose up, and with a thunderous explosion, the island of the ship, including the devils inside, was torn to pieces.Immediately afterwards, two more Poseidon hit the target, and one of them hit the main gun mount of another heavy cruiser, directly causing the shells and propellant in the main gun's bore to explode——Boom Amidst the booming explosion, the main gun and the gun mount were directly overturned into the sea, and the heavy cruiser also burned violently.
