On the Xiangrui "Yukikaze", Navy Lieutenant Sakata was on duty at the lookout post, and the oncoming sea breeze seemed to tear him apart, at least he felt happy compared to a few unlucky people who were laid off with ice ballast on the night shift. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info raised the telescope again, and the black dots on the horizon in the eyepiece appeared one after another, and after confirming it, he reported the arrival of the Chinese "Xianglong" task force through the microphone. Reaffirming the plumes of smoke that were barely visible from the ships of the Chinese Navy, and looking at the dense black smoke rising from the chimneys on his ships, he thought that the Chinese Navy must have seen their formation a long time ago, after all, more than 20 columns of smoke rising into the sky were on the uncovered sea, and it was impossible to be conspicuous. He couldn't help but think of what Commander Toyota had said that gas turbines were just bombs compared to oil-fired boilers, and that overseas supplies were also very difficult, and that Japan could not blindly pursue the new technology of ghost animals like those landlubbers in China. Although it is not known whether the gas turbines on the Chinese warships are very dangerous, at least they are excellent at controlling the smoke column. At this time, the turret under his feet was already turning, of course, this distance is that battleships like "Hyuga" and "Hizen" have no chance to hit the opponent, so there is still some distance to enter the firing range, his task is to continue to observe the movement of the Chinese fleet, when he saw that China used a parallel direction to maintain line-of-sight contact, and did not further turn to seize the T-shape, he felt a moment of doubt, didn't the Chinese Navy know what an artillery position is? However, they are not enemies now, which makes the performance of the Japanese Combined Fleet seem very petty.

"Report, the data processor has completed the distribution of firepower, and the radars of each ship's guns have locked onto the target, please instruct." Report of the communications chief on board the cruiser Anhui. The captain put down the telescope in his hand and looked at the deep blue ocean, and in a while, dozens of warships with tens of thousands of young navies would sleep in her arms forever, just like Dadonggou forty-five years ago. In just a few seconds, it seems like a quarter of a century has passed. "Order each ship to enter the countdown to launch, and conduct a salvo after thirty seconds, and then each ship will fight independently, and I will be invincible in this battle."

"No." The communications officer conveyed the order to the bridges of the ships, and the commanders of the ships on the bridges gave the order to fire from the countdown. The countdown soon approached zero o'clock, and a series of fire dragons rose from the decks of each ship, and the controllers in the weapons operation cabin below the deck, wearing headphones, operated the handles finely according to the radar signals on the ranging mast and the information from the early warning aircraft in the air, and constantly corrected the trajectory of the flight. Less than 150 kilometers away, and only ten minutes later, these dragon milk swallows generally shot into the hulls of the aircraft carrier battleships, heavy cruisers, light cruisers, and destroyers of the 58.3rd Task Force. Of course, Sakata couldn't see all this, but this round of salvo from the Chinese fleet surprised the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Admiral Keno Awata, and he couldn't help but ask his chief of staff, Vice Admiral Nan Yong. "Is this weapon fired by the Chinese Navy a rocket? Are they going to wash the decks of the Americans with shotguns? ”

However, they soon received a piece of news that surprised them: the Chinese fleet confirmed that a quarter of the US Pacific Fleet, which had caused Japan to lose hundreds of planes without any injuries, had either been killed or injured in the round of "rocket" attacks just now, and the 58.3 Fleet had lost the possibility of continuing operations.

"This, how is this possible?" Lieutenant General Nan Yong was knocked down by this news almost instantly, and his expression showed a strong look of decadence. The Chinese Navy did not even dispatch planes, but only cleaned up the US reconnaissance planes over itself and the Combined Fleet, and also used electronic jamming to block the other side's telegraphic alarm, and when it was still 100 nautical miles away from the enemy, it would knock out the opponent at once by relying only on ship-based firepower, in this case, unless there was sufficient air superiority, it would be a joke to engage in a naval battle with the Chinese Navy on the ocean, because this kind of "rocket" of the Chinese Navy is like an immortal flying out of the sky who takes the enemy's head thousands of miles away. No navy can guarantee that its fleet will be able to retreat in such a blow.

"Is this what it is?" Keno Awata suddenly had a guess, but he was not sure yet, because this kind of technology that could change course by itself and chase the enemy's target was theoretically already available to Japan, but unfortunately their effect on the battlefield was not good enough. Awata's guess in his heart was the eight-frame bullet that the Japanese army had used in the Battle of Oshima.

In the Battle of Oshima, the losses of the US 58 task force were not too great compared to the Marine Corps, but the American sailors were too impressed by the attack of the Japanese suicide "kamikaze", and the US troops at that time could not figure it out. How can a person explode a bomb? These "kamikaze special attack teams," which were once called "eight-frame bombs" by the US military in those years, were used in the early days and caused great losses and damage to the US military.

The main background to Japan's use of the dehumanizing suicide "kamikaze" was that at this time Japanese militarism had already shown signs of failure, and in particular, the United States had carried out a "hunger war" for nearly two years since the beginning of the total blockade of the Japanese archipelago in 22 years, which had taken Japan by surprise, and had no food rations and no fuel. At that time, Stimson, then the US Secretary of the Army, said very incisively, "The only way to deal with Japan is to give it nothing." The ways and means in which the United States dealt with Japan in those years can also provide useful inspiration to some countries. Faced with the dilemma of running out of fuel, Hideki Tojo, then prime minister of Japan, encouraged the soldiers, "In Japan, it is not the plane that flies in the sky, but the spirit that flies."

The Japanese did not have enough fuel at the time, so they had the fighters fly only one-way fuel, carrying 250 kilograms of explosives that exceeded the normal bomb load by four to five times, and carried out a dive impact (note that it was not an attack).

On October 19, 23 years, just after the US troops landed on the island at the mouth of the Leyte Gulf in the Philippines and MacArthur delivered his famous speech "I am back," Vice Admiral Ryujiro Onishi selected those soldiers who were "infinitely loyal to the emperor" from the 201st Flying Squadron of the First Air Force, put on ceremonial dresses, pinned special badges of honor, and named them "kamikaze special assault team" after the allusion that Kublai Khan's ocean-going fleet of the Yuan Dynasty of China invaded Japan in 1281 when it was destroyed by a typhoon.

On October 22 of the same year, Japan's first "kamikaze" attack plane crashed into the USS Princeton, an aircraft carrier escorted by the US military. Three days later, on the 25th, five more Japanese "kamikaze" attack planes rammed and sank another aircraft carrier, the "St. Louise"; During these three days, Japan carried out nearly 200 "kamikaze" attacks, killing two US aircraft carriers, three destroyers, and other warships. This move by the Japanese army was a big surprise to the US military, and the US military not only felt terrible, but also felt unreasonable.

On April 12, 24, as the U.S. military hit the gateway to Japan - Amami Oshima, the Japanese army even exerted the kamikaze attack team to the extreme, this time there were no fighters available, so the Japanese soldiers operated the glider that had installed 3 solid-fuel rocket engines, loaded with 1,000 kilograms of high explosives, first transported by the bomber, after finding the target, the bomber dropped these "human flesh bombs" at an altitude of 800 meters, and after gliding for dozens of kilometers, the kamikaze fighters started the engine, Rushing to the US warship at a speed of up to 800 kilometers per hour. At the beginning, the US military was at a loss for what to do, and the warships could not guard against these "human bombs" and were shot one after another.

After suffering heavy losses, the US military, after careful research, discovered the tricks of these "human flesh bombs" modified by kamikaze special forces. As a result, the US military dispatched fighter planes to deal with the "human bombs" that were still floating in the air, and used bombers to destroy the airfields that had not yet reached the sky. At this time, the Japanese army's "human flesh bombs" either "blossomed" in the air or "bloomed" everywhere on the ground. In the end, Japan's donkey skills were poor, so they had to give up this costly and ineffective attack method, but seeing China's offensive method, they couldn't help but imagine whether China also put a daredevil's in every "rocket" to manipulate, and had to admire the imagination of the Japanese soldiers, but for the US Navy at this time, all this made no difference, because their nightmare had just begun.

Rear Admiral John of the 58.3rd Task Force Levis was sitting in the traffic boat with a bandage on his head at the moment, watching the familiar warships around him turn into fireworks platforms on the water. The rebuilt aircraft carrier: the New Enterprise has tilted 40 degrees to the right, the red bottom of the ship is almost floating out of the sea, and her sister ship, the New Lexington, has broken in two, with less than a third of the stern still floating on the water.

In the distance, the escort aircraft carrier "Princeton" has turned into a huge whirlpool, bringing the sailors who did not escape in time to be buried under the water. The other escort aircraft carrier, the San Jacinto, was covered with fireworks, and apparently there was little salvage value, but it was not sunk for the time being.

In addition, 1 heavy cruiser, 3 light cruisers, 1 air defense cruiser, and 13 destroyers were only one light cruiser and 4 destroyers unscathed, and they were now busy saving people. The report from the radio at this moment that "everything is in order, no enemy fleet or aircraft group has been found" made John?? Major General Leavis didn't even have the strength to smile bitterly.

"This must be a nightmare, and the mighty U.S. Navy can't just be defeated. Well, God, save your people. May God bless America. "Before the coma, the guards of the Major General heard John?? Leavis's last sentence may have been to himself. But the rear admiral will not wake up again, just as Task Force 58.3 will not appear again on the staffing table of the American Pacific Fleet.
