Chapter 414: Naval Battle (5)
Chapter 645: Naval Battle (5)
It must be said that the current situation is extremely unfavorable for them.
The so-called "19th" fleet of the Maritime Self-Defense Force refers to ten warships plus nine carrier-based helicopters. Of course, the so-called ten warships here refer to these main warships of destroyers and above, and frigates, submarines, transport ships, and minesweepers of the main warships are not counted.
The fleet under the command of Daiki Ueno is subordinate to the 3rd Escort Group of the Maritime Self-Defense Force, and has three destroyers, six frigates, and three carrier-based helicopters. In his opinion, apart from the Seventh Fleet of country M, no one in the Asian waters has dared to challenge the authority of the R Hon. This is also the reason why he had the audacity to launch an attack on the Japanese fleet.
However, since the beginning of the war, the development of events has greatly exceeded his expectations, not only did it not defeat this inaccessible fleet as easily as expected, but he was greatly surprised by the strong combat power of the Japanese fleet. First, the "Shimazu" was damaged at the beginning and lost most of its combat strength, and then the "Akitsu" and "Nagoya" were sunk one after another. Coupled with the "Mutsu", which exploded inexplicably at the beginning and returned to the base ahead of schedule, most of the six frigates in the fleet were lost in an instant. The remaining "Early Frost" and "Chie" are also scarred.
The three main destroyers were not spared, especially their flagship "Mount Fuji", which was already riddled with bullet wounds, and the officers and men on the battleship suffered heavy casualties, almost on the verge of collapse. Although the Japanese fleet sank one frigate, the four destroyers and five frigates were still alive and well, and although there were losses, they did not hurt their bones.
The sinking of the two battleships "Akitsu" and "Nagoya" had a great negative impact on the R-Ben fleet, and the morale was extremely low, and no one knew whether it would be themselves who would be sunk next. The most critical problem is that after the frigate "Nagoya" was sunk, Ueno Daiki suddenly discovered that the entire fleet had been divided and surrounded by the other side without realizing it. At the same time, the port side portal of the "Mt. Fuji" was wide open, completely exposed to the fire of the opposing side. The guns of several battleships were now all aimed at themselves, and it is conceivable that once the enemy fired, a single salvo would be enough to crush the badly damaged "Mt. Fuji".
Daiki Ueno closed his eyes in pain.
He is not afraid of death, because of his own mistakes, the country has lost so many warships and brave soldiers, even if he can return alive, he will no longer be able to face the trial of military tribunals and the condemnation of hundreds of millions of people.
Of course, as long as the battleship has not sunk, it must continue to fight. Big R was originally a coward who did not surrender on the battlefield. Ueno opened his eyes sharply, ordered the bridge staff to hand over command of the flagship to another destroyer, the "Hakusan", behind him, and then ordered the battleship to continue firing.
It seems that choosing to go to war with the other party is indeed a big mistake, and I hope this mistake can be ended on me! Let your life be atoned for all your sins.
The staff officer had just passed on the order, and dozens of shells and anti-ship missiles exploded on the hull of the battleship "Mt. Fuji". The hatred of each of the warships of the Japanese fleet for the "Mt. Fuji" can no longer be described in words.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The "Mt. Fuji," which had already broken in many places and its steel armor protection was in tatters, could no longer withstand such a violent explosion at this moment, and the central keel was broken one after another, and the entire hull of the "Mt. Fuji" was torn apart and shattered in an instant.
The fact that an all-steel "King Kong-class" destroyer, which was nearly 10,000 tons, was smashed to pieces shows how tragic the battle situation was. The Japanese fleet hit nearly 100 shells of various types and five anti-ship missiles of the destroyer "Mount Fuji" one after another, which together were enough to withstand the explosive yield of an intercontinental missile. Sunk by so much ammunition, the "Mt. Fuji" is indeed worthy of being the most advanced "Kongo-class" destroyer in the world today.
The sinking of the flagship "Mt. Fuji" brought great shock to the other warships that were struggling to support it. All the officers and men of the R Ben stared blankly at the huge battleship body, the fragmented parts, and the corpses floating on the surface of the sea as the destroyer "Mt. Fuji" continued to sink, and they all felt that they could not breathe.
Originally, the two destroyers and two frigates of "Hakusan" and "Kasama" were already very difficult against the three destroyers and three frigates of the Japanese fleet, and each of the four battleships was injured. However, even in this case, they still relied on their rough and thick armor to follow the warships of the Japanese fleet, which cannot but say that the R Maritime Self-Defense Force is indeed an extremely elite maritime force.
However, with the sinking of the "Mt. Fuji", the balance of forces between the enemy and us on the battlefield once again changed dramatically. If this continues, once the destroyer "Feitian" and two other frigates join the ranks of encircling and destroying them, the situation will probably be even more serious and worse.
The captain of the destroyer "Baishan," who had just taken over as the flagship, immediately made a decision and immediately ordered all warships to cover in turn and gradually withdraw from the battlefield.
Seeing that the battleship began to flee, enthusiastic cheers rang out from the warships of the Japanese fleet. In the naval battle, they defeated the Asian naval power with basically the same warship, which made each of them extremely proud and joyful, and that look was as if they had won the eight-year War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression that year, and their hearts were full of joy.
Qin Zhonglin naturally commanded the fleet to pursue the victory and beat the water dogs. However, because the warships of the Japanese fleet sacrificed part of their speed in order to strengthen their defenses, even if they pursued with all their might, the Japanese fleet gradually got rid of it with the speed of the warships.
However, the frigate "Shimazu," which had been heavily damaged at the beginning of the war, was not so good, and was hit by an anti-ship missile fired at the Japanese and stopped for a time.
When the captain of the "Shimazu" Takeru Sato learned about it, he could only sigh helplessly.
He's done his best. If the naval battle is in full swing, he will certainly not hesitate to hold out until he is sunk. But now, three battleships of the fleet, including the flagship "Mt. Fuji", have been sunk, and the other warships have fled, leaving only their own bullet-riddled "Shimazu".
Looking at the fact that in addition to the command tower where he was and the main gun in front, there were flames everywhere around the hull, a mess, broken corpses everywhere, and rivers of blood. Looking at the strong desire to survive in the survivors' eyes looking at him, Sato Ken and the bridge staff officer glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of helplessness and sadness.
A few minutes later, the "Shimazu" raised the white flag and announced its surrender to the Japanese-shooting fleet.
At this point, the naval battle of the Diaoyu Islands, which lasted only half an hour, ended with an unexpected victory for the Japanese fleet. In this battle, the Japanese Shooting Fleet achieved a brilliant record, defeating the fleet of the R Maritime Self-Defense Force at the cost of sinking only one old frigate, sinking three warships including the flagship destroyer "Mt. Fuji", and capturing the frigate "Shimazu" and 128 members of the R Maritime Self-Defense Force.
By the time the mixed fleet of the East China Sea Fleet arrived urgently, the battle was over. The smoke in the nearby sea stretched for dozens of nautical miles, the wreckage of the battleship and the fragments of objects everywhere, the corpses were floating in it, and some objects drifting around on the sea were still burning, and everywhere was a shocking and tragic scene after the great war.
The Sun-shooting fleet is sending many small boats to search and rescue the officers and men who have fallen into the water, including the bodies of the dead. Of course, this also includes members of the Maritime Self-Defense Force.
Seeing everything in front of them, everyone in the mixed fleet of the East China Sea Fleet showed shocked expressions.
In their opinion, although the Flying Fleet's Japanese fleet is also called a fleet, it is not at the same level as the R Fleet. Therefore, when they heard the news of the war between the two fleets, they were all anxious. The vast majority of the members of the Sun-Shooting Fleet came out of China's three major fleets, and many of them were still their old comrades-in-arms, and besides, the fact that Feiyuan Company was able to come out to help solve the Diaoyu Island issue this time was very happy, and none of them wanted to see anything go wrong with the Sun-Shooting Fleet.
Lu Feng reported the situation to the base almost immediately, and his superiors also attached great importance to it, and immediately ordered them to immediately move closer to the Diaoyu Islands, to ensure the safety of the Japanese fleet, and to authorize them to open fire on the R fleet if necessary.
After getting the approval, the mixed fleet did not dare to delay for a moment and rushed over immediately, for fear that it would be one step too late and regret it for life. I didn't expect to hurry up, but it was still a step too late. What I didn't expect was that the Sun-shooting Fleet actually surprised everyone and defeated the invincible fleet of the Maritime Self-Defense Force.
It's rare that the current little R is really glamorous on the outside, but it can't be beaten?
However, when they saw the bullet marks and shocking blood stains on each battleship of the Japanese fleet, they couldn't help but secretly say to themselves, if it was their own battleship, they would have been sunk long ago, right? There is no doubt about the brutality of this naval battle.
It wasn't just the mixed fleet that was surprised, as the rest of the crew at the Maritime Self-Defense Force base were stunned when they saw the dilapidated and scarred warships. They all don't believe that the most elite Maritime Self-Defense Force will have such an embarrassing day. The surviving officers and soldiers all looked frightened, their spirit was gone, and without that sharp spirit, there would be no fighting spirit. Their depressed expressions even affected the other SDF members.
