Volume 3: Snowfield Lion Chapter 948: The aircraft carrier is gone

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In order to increase infrared reception without being interfered by water vapor or other infrared rays, Dong Ku designed this forerunner, an airborne rocket with an incendiary warhead, to guide missiles whose technology is not yet very mature, and let the flames guide them.  The missile flies and ultimately achieves an accurate hit.  When the Terminator bombs were killing Japanese warships, Mengzi ordered the battleship group to move forward to clean up the warships that were bombed but not sunk. He wanted to pursue the aircraft carrier and those battleships.  Yamamoto Isoroku can hear the explosion here. Although it is not very violent, the explosion can be heard thirty or forty kilometers away, which is enough to prove that this is not the explosion of an artillery shell, but a loud noise that can only be produced by great power.  ¡°He didn¡¯t know what was going on there, but he couldn¡¯t call for help.  At this moment, he completely believed one thing. The British army was waiting to surround and ambush the group of battleships he left the coast. They had only lost two frigates and more than thirty fighter planes in the previous battle, and then retreated in a hurry.  "Speed ??up the sailing!!" He no longer cares about the Fengxiang. There is no possibility of rescue for that aircraft carrier. The battleship he left behind is also surrounded, and he must get rid of the enemy as soon as possible to find another fighter plane.  He fled at high speed, but the destroyers, frigates, and cruisers that came out were hit by destruction. In just ten minutes, the battleships lost contact one after another. When Yamamoto Isoroku realized that all the battleships were gone,  At this time, I was shocked, not knowing that the enemy was so powerful.  You must know how many artillery shells and Yu Lei are needed to sink dozens of warships in a naval battle. If it is a bomber, it cannot be done with dozens of bombers. After all, the air defense on the warship is not a decoration.  Although the fleet reported being under heavy shelling before, there was no fire and no fatal damage, so.  Yamamoto Isoroku did not realize that the fleet would all disappear so quickly.  When half of the telegrams arrived, he no longer knew what to do.  He likes to gamble, but not his life. He will not gamble his own life.  "The battleships are approaching the aircraft carrier!!!" Shocked, he was worried about bombing by enemy planes and issued an order for tight air defense.  The rapidly sailing fleet began to approach.  The distance between each ship is tens of meters, and they can hit each other with just one rudder.  The anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were also aimed at the back, ready to shoot down those aircraft with the most intensive firepower at any time.  But they have forgotten what hit the Fengxiang. How can their little air defense force block the rockets that arrive instantly?  Mengzi's battleship group began to accelerate, and in a short time, they crossed this large sea of ????fire, leaving a few destroyers to clean up the mess. The helicopter carrying the heavy bombs returned to the aircraft carrier to reload the bombs, and Mengzi also issued an order.  Command to attack the second target.  The Longxiang was locked by Luo Hao.  He was at the end of the battle group.  Luo Hao was not picky about food either. According to the plan, he fired one by one, otherwise the fire would induce the missile to hit the disabled target. After all, the guidance could not be controlled manually, it only received infrared rays.  The missile doesn't care whether the warship has been scrapped or not, it will rush to the target according to the nearest infrared source, so.  You have to fight one ship at a time, then chase for a while and hit the second ship.  After locking the target.  The helicopter carrying Pioneer rockets took aim, and two rockets roared out, heading straight for the fleeing Japanese fleet in the distance.  Spotting flames coming from the fleet in the distance, the observers on all the battleships shouted, not knowing who the next target was, but it must be the same as the Fengxiang.  There will be a second ship hit by new weapons with long-range fire.  People were running around on the chaotic battleship, and anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were firing, trying to build an interception net to block the incoming weapons.  "But cannons can hit mosquitoes, how can they block rocket fire?"  A brief moment.  With two loud bangs, the Dragon Dragon burst into flames. The flames were still the same, burning wherever they splashed. In just a second or two, the Dragon Dragon's deck turned into a sea of ??fire.  At the moment the Ry¨±jang caught fire, a group of battleships in the distance received the signal. Although it was still in the burning area, it did not delay the launch of the missiles.  Firelight rose from a frigate, the fire roared out, and a fire dragon cut through the sky and flew to the sea ahead.  "Kamikaze 1 has left the orbit!" "Start the guidance system!!" "The guidance system has been started!!" The missile left the ship, and each voice on the battleship rang out.  "Launch the second one!!" Not three seconds after the first one flew out, the captain immediately ordered the second one to be launched.  One after another, the two missiles chased each other at high speed, just like coming to catch the sun. They chased each other over the sea. One after another, they landed accurately on the Longxiang, which had not yet tried to spray water to put out the fire.  Boom boom!  Two loud noises sounded one after another, and the Longxiang horn suddenly roared.?, before it sank to the bottom, a second loud noise ripped open the middle of the aircraft carrier.  The first deck was twisted and overturned in the huge explosion. Before all the steel plates could stand up due to the ferocious heat, the ammunition compartment and fuel of the aircraft carrier caught fire one after another, followed by a louder and louder sound.  The aircraft carrier didn't even have a chance to float. While sitting in a deep valley in the sea, it fell apart. Before the sea surface could bounce up, the aircraft carrier sank into the sea one after another.  The ship was filled with more than 600 Japanese troops and the captain, Captain Kanae Uesaka, did not even have a chance to call for help. They sank to the bottom of the sea with the shattered aircraft carrier. When the sea surface bounced up, in addition to the burning of floating fuel, there was just some  There are no more dead bodies and debris sucked into the seabed by suction.  "Target disappeared!!!" Luo Hao and the radar operator behind him shouted the result at almost the same time, their voices filled with extreme excitement.  "That's awesome. An aircraft carrier was sunk by two bombs. Who else in the world can stop the advance navy?"  In less than twenty seconds before and after Yamamoto Isoroku, as if watching magic, the Ryujo disappeared before his eyes.  He was dumbfounded.  The power of this new weapon was beyond his understanding.  How can we fight this naval battle?  It¡¯s over¡­ A sadness arose in his heart.  He knew that the warships of the Imperial Japanese Empire had lost the ability to control the oceans. Even if he escaped to heaven today, he would not have the courage to face this powerful fleet of the British army.  There is simply no way to resist it.  The silence of the Longxiang shocked the several battleships guarding behind it. Is this a naval battle?  This is how naval battles work.  This completely subverted their understanding.  An aircraft carrier, no matter how bad it is, can only be sunk by several artillery shells and torpedoes, unless a single shot from the back hits the ammunition compartment.  Blow up and sink yourself, otherwise, it will take twenty to thirty minutes of fierce battle to decide the fate of the aircraft carrier.  But in less than a minute, an aircraft carrier disappeared from the sea. It had a watertight warehouse.  Just sunk?  !  And it sank while they were looking around.  Although Yamamoto Isoroku was lost, he did not collapse. After a brief absence, he immediately regained his wisdom and shouted: "The Ise led the battleships out of line to meet the enemy ships!! The remaining battleships released smoke, as originally planned  Route retreat!!" Following his order, the battleships left the formation one by one and drew an arc.  Without hesitation, he faced the enemy ship group still 20,000 to 30,000 meters away.  They must use solid armor and large-caliber artillery to let the enemy understand that the majesty of the battleship cannot be provoked.  Knowing that the enemy had divided their forces, Mengzi did not find it strange at all. The enemy was losing their battleships to save their commanders. They must have used some old battleships and heavy patrols to hold them back so that they could save their main battleships and aircraft carriers.  Keep their navy from being wiped out.  You know, these warships are 80% of Japan's warships.  If it loses, Japan will withdraw from the ranks of maritime powers and will be unable to compete for world hegemony.  "Radar man, number the warships one by one, prepare all artillery, target No. 1. High-explosive bombs are fired rapidly in three rounds!!" Following his shout, the radar man quickly numbered the advancing Japanese warships and locked them.  The first target, at 30,000 meters, sent out a signal to shoot.  Then, hundreds of artillery pieces roared.  The captain of the Ise, Yoshizo Yamaguchi, stood in the command tower with the determination to die, quietly waiting to engage the enemy.  He wanted to use solid battleships to let the enemy understand that the battleships of the Empire of Japan would not give up easily.  He knew that the enemy's artillery fire was far away, up to 20,000 meters away. He knew that if he didn't get close, they would have no chance to exert their power. Therefore, the battle formation was in a fan shape, not a sharp knife formation, but in this way of casting a net.  Force the enemy ship to either retreat or engage in a decisive battle.  But he didn¡¯t know that the enemy ship¡¯s firing range exceeded 30,000 meters. As soon as they reached 30,000 meters, the shells from the opposite side flew in like black clouds. ?? Rapid firing, three rounds can be completed in less than a minute. When the shells are still flying in the sky, the shooting of the second target has begun to prepare. Before the shells fall, the shooting of the second target has begun.  The observers on the Japanese warship stared ahead with their eyes wide open as the warship rode through the wind and waves, fearing to miss any suspicious targets.  You must know that they have no destroyer escort. Once there is a submarine, they can only wait to be bombed.  Just when they were concentrating, an observer suddenly saw a black shadow flying in the sky in the distance. Before making a judgment, he shouted in horror, "Artillery attack!!!"  With shouts, battleships were immediately smashed to pieces, sirens blared, and the figures in the class ran, preparing to meet the bombardment.  In just one or two seconds, cannonballs poured down like a hail, and the first battleship, the battleship Ise, in just one or two seconds?? turned into a fireball.  The shells were raging on the deck and on the island. The roaring explosion tore apart all the auxiliary facilities on the deck. The only ones that were intact were the main and secondary guns. The rest were all crushed in a short moment.  A stream of water jets flooded the Ise, washing away all the debris on the battleship and dousing the ignited fire.  On the battleship, all the Japanese troops were stunned.  In these few seconds, they could no longer hear the specific sound of the explosion. The dense explosion of New Year firecrackers over there shocked them.  How many shells does this cost?  Before they woke up in horror, another battleship not far away also received a baptism of artillery shells. The difference was less than a minute.  When the explosion over there was over, the third heavy cruiser also came under fierce bombardment.  How many warships does the enemy have This is the reason why all the Japanese soldiers were stupid.  Such intensive bombardment is definitely not as simple as a warship finishing bombarding the first target, turning its gun muzzle, and bombarding the second ship.  How did they know that the battleship can move and fine-tune to assist the rotation of the naval gun. In the case of fire control, the mechanical rotation of the turret plus the deflection of the battleship will of course take less than a few seconds to complete the action of aiming at the next target.  Five battleships, two heavy cruisers, and two escort cruisers arrived in less than fifteen minutes.  It was all bombarded.  The opponent's fleet had already begun to turn, and had already passed sideways in the direction of their bow. Before entering 15,000 meters, the bombardment had ended.  After the intensive artillery fire, the battleships that rushed forward were all ravaged by artillery fire. This time.  On each warship, all external facilities, except the main and secondary guns, are still intact. Even the chimneys and islands have been greatly damaged, not to mention the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns. Less than one out of ten is still intact.  two.  "It's our turn!" When Shan Jianqun separated to avoid the enemy ships, the helicopter with the Terminator hung on it excitedly followed the cheetah who saw the prey, and they rushed at the maximum speed towards the high-speed ships.  Advancing battleship.  In just a minute or two, they flew over the battleship's head, and then huge bombs fell in the sky one after another.  A loud bang sounded on the sea where the gunpowder smoke had not yet dissipated.  The warships hit by the bombs all made one movement and sank suddenly, as if a huge hand was pushing them under the sea. It felt like the warships were almost sinking to the bottom of the sea, and huge pits appeared on the sea.  , followed by a mushroom cloud rising into the sky.  The battleship almost left the water, and the sea water also bulged into a big package.  Debris from the battleship flew everywhere, and fire enveloped the battleship.  The huge force caused these behemoths to sink even if they did not sink. All the people on the ship were shocked to death or stunned. Even the boilers were shattered by the violent vibrations. Steam gushes and the fire spreads rapidly.  All orders for the first wave of aircraft have been completed.  Then it circled laboriously and flew towards the aircraft carrier behind it in the explosion.  The second wave of planes lowered their noses at the moment when the mushroom clouds rose and the shock wave came, roaring towards these behemoths that were about to sink.  Then the second giant bomb fell, completely shredding the battleship that could no longer float with a loud noise. In a series of explosions, it either died by itself, or was completely blown into two pieces, emitting thick black smoke.  , rolled up a huge whirlpool and sank to the bottom of the sea.  "Keep moving!!" In just half an hour, these nine behemoths disappeared. One of them did not float on the water, and all of them were bombed and sank to the bottom of the sea.  This speed can be said to have created a miracle in naval battles.  You must know that even if a battleship is hit by more than a dozen torpedoes and dozens of shells, it will be difficult to sink quickly. Even if the whole ship is on fire, it will still float on the sea for several hours.  The fleet did not stop, drew a share arc, quickly assembled, and continued to pursue forward.  Yamamoto Isoroku¡¯s heart has sunk to the bottom.  He knew that it might be difficult to escape today.  Enemy firepower is unusually intense, and there are new weapons.  He sat quietly on the Yamato, dictating the message with a calm tone, reporting everything that happened here to the base camp, and was ready to be loyal to the end.  But he did not want to turn back to fight, but continued to escape. As long as he escaped the opponent's pursuit, the main force could still be saved.  But an hour later, the fully fueled helicopter caught up with them again. At the moment Luo Hao gave the order, the Feilong, which was soaking at the end, halved in the roar and ignited a fire, followed by two loud noises, followed by a series of  The internal explosion prevented the Feilong from surviving for even a minute. It was like tofu. The second missile penetrated directly from the deck to the bottom of the ship. It broke directly before it could be destroyed by the explosion.  "Release the smoke!!!" Yamamoto Isoroku was unwilling to wait for death and was unable to meet the enemy. He roared and issued an order to let all shipsOnly to release smoke again in an attempt to escape pursuit.  Unfortunately, this trick was ineffective against radar. Luo Hao continued to follow the smoky sea as the Feilong sank and the fuel burned on the sea. When the fleet passed the burning area, he issued an order to attack the third target.  With the order to lay eggs, two rockets got into the thick smoke. Then, the explosion tore through the smoke, revealing a little firelight, and the Soryu caught fire.  At the moment when the fire broke out, the missiles behind them had already flown up, the same two missiles, one in front and one behind, with only a few seconds difference, flying towards the Canglong at lightning speed.  The poor Soryu also had no time to react. Amidst the loud noise, various large holes were punched through the bottom of the ship from top to bottom, completely making it lose its buoyancy. Since the explosion positions of the two missiles did not overlap, they could not tear her body apart, but  The design height was adjusted, so that the acceleration of the fall plus the huge kinetic energy generated by the thrust allowed the missile to reach the bottom chamber before exploding, striking a depth that even armor-piercing bombs could hardly penetrate. Then, under the huge tearing force of the explosion,  The explosion penetrated the bottom of the ship, and the seawater was rolling wildly. The Canglong was sinking at a speed that was seen in the raging fire, and disappeared on the sea in just three to five minutes.  It¡¯s over A huge explosion was heard in the thick smoke. On the Yamato, which was leading the ship, Yamamoto Isoroku was completely dumbfounded.  The opponent can lock on even in the thick smoke, which means that the opponent's attack ignores the obstruction of the smoke and is not a manual sighting at all.  Is it a radar?  The thought of this made him feel cold all over.  They have already paid attention to the existence of radar and invested in research. They have already produced a land-based radar, but it is too big. They can only hope to install it on warships after miniaturizing electronic components.  As for airplanes, that is even more impossible for the time being.  And the enemy actually has radars on their fighter planes. Doesn't this mean that the opponent's technology is far ahead of the empire?  But these thoughts could not stop the battleship from sinking, nor could they stop the aircraft carrier from being attacked. Just ten minutes after the Soryu disappeared, the Akagi aircraft carrier burst into flames again. The ending was almost the same. In just a few minutes, this battleship's exploits  The impressive aircraft carrier disappeared.  Like a multi-stranded domino, more than ten minutes after the Akagi aircraft carrier disappeared, the Zuiho burst into flames, was blown into two pieces, and sank quickly.  By this time, all the aircraft carriers in the group of fleeing battleships had sunk, and not a single one was left.  (To be continued)
