Chapter 40: The Secret Weapon
You can't hesitate any longer, since you want to defend the mainland and destroy the Chinese fleet, then the current location is naturally the best place. Just entangle them there, everything
"It's time to dispatch the entire air force of the fleet and launch an air attack on the enemy in several waves, the main purpose is to delay their actions and wait for the capital ships to arrive to settle the battle!"
Yuzaburo Kato felt that although the victory in the Battle of Tsushima did not give him more influence among the people, the second elimination of the Chinese Navy would definitely give him the highest honor of the Navy.
The catapults on top of the 10 "improvised aircraft carriers" roared like crazy, and the planes were shot into the sky one after another, forming a huge group of attack planes in the sky! The first attack wave included a large number of fighters, and only four squadrons of 72 torpedoes actually carried them.
After all, Chinese aircraft were at this time somewhat more advanced than the Japanese side, and the main task of these aircraft was to compete for air supremacy with the "sea sabers", which were not many in the Chinese Navy. By the time they left, the Chinese Navy's air patrol fighters should have run out of ammunition and fuel, and the fleet had to deal with the Japanese attack planes in the absence of air power.
Two hundred planes flew forward in the already clear sky, and in order to ensure the continuity of the attack, a second attack wave of attack planes was followed by a large number of catapulting take-offs, mainly attack planes, and they would take advantage of the gap in the lack of air power of the Chinese fleet to launch torpedo attacks.
When aircraft carriers came out, the operation of sea forces became the most complicated kind of war in the world, and every link and every button directly affected the survival of the entire fleet, just like the Battle of Midway in World War II, when Nagumo Tadaichi of the Japanese side commanded air forces to attack two targets at sea and land, he lost his rhythm, and as a result, the torpedoes and bombs piled on the deck were attacked by US dive bombers.
This battle lost four large Japanese aircraft carriers and a large number of excellent naval pilots, so that the Japanese Navy lost the advantage of taking the initiative to attack in the subsequent war, and eventually led to the defeat of the Pacific War. Otherwise, if the Japanese had won the Battle of Nakajima, the Pacific War would not have been what it would have been!
Today, the always shrewd "ghost captain" seems to have been out of order, and although there may not be much wrong in the plan of "encircling Wei to save Zhao," attacking the Japanese mainland will inevitably bring the Japanese fleet back to help. But when it came to passing through the Jeju Strait in North Korea, it seemed that Luknar, a man who had always been shrewd, had made a mistake.
Even, when the Japanese aircraft group rushed over the Chinese fleet, there was no air patrol or air defense force here. The planes that had just finished attacking the enemy batteries on the shore were landing, and the second wave of planes had just flown to the positions of the nearby coastal batteries when the Japanese planes arrived.
Seeing this, the Japanese aircraft immediately went on the offensive. Attack planes carrying aerial bombs climbed high, torpedo-carrying planes intruded at low altitudes, and fighters flew forward, intending to suppress the enemy's anti-aircraft machine guns with armor-piercing shells from their own machine guns.
The sudden appearance of enemy planes apparently caused a surprise attack on the task force led by Colonel Luknal. Although the whole fleet did not make a mess, they no longer had a chance to put on a circular air defense formation, because the Japanese warships had already dived down.
The first generation of the "Phalanx", which used the ships with 12.7 mm 6-barreled machine guns as the main firepower, has already begun to search for targets. These "phalanxes" resemble the turrets of tanks, and the armor in the shape of "" protects the two 12.7 mm machine guns themselves from both sides, and between the two machine guns is the gunner's operating compartment.
In front of the gunner was a "large field of view" sighting system with several luminescent rings on it. The gunner, sitting in the middle, controls the rotation of the entire turret with two feet, the middle handle controls the angle of fire of the machine gun, and the buttons on the handle control the firing of the machine gun.
The entire "Yue Fei" aircraft carrier is equipped with two modules on both sides of the deck plus the control tower, a total of 10 phalanx modules. That is, the aircraft coming from any direction will be fired at least half by 3 Phalanx modules.
One might say that the maximum range of the 12.7 mm machine gun is only 1,800 meters, and the effective range is much closer. In fact, the person who says this, not to say that he is completely a "little white" for weapons, but also to say that he is also a "little white" to the level of failing the most basic knowledge of physics.
Think about it, an airplane with a speed of nearly 150 kilometers per hour, even the birds have to worry about it, so the bullet of the 12.7mm machine gun, even if it is stationary in the air, let the plane crash head-on, but it is also an unbearable thing, and the most basic physical problem involved at this time is the problem of relative speed.
But will such armaments be enough to cope with a saturation attack of 200 aircraft? Of course not! Even if an aircraft of this era drops a hundred and ten torpedoes, this 34000-ton aircraft carrier will definitely not be able to stand it.
However, the fact at this time was that half of the planes of the entire task force had landed, and the other half were suppressing the opposing shore artillery, and even if they came back immediately to meet the battle, it would definitely not be in time.
Alas, when the battle reached this point, both the officers and men from the German Navy on the warships and the seamen from other places were somewhat disappointed and nervous.
Cheng Biguang looked at the crowds of approaching planes in the sky and felt a catastrophe. After he went to war full of blood, he was bent on fighting a battle with the Japanese Navy to turn over and win glory. But seeing today's situation, he calculated in his heart that he was afraid that the end of himself and the task force had come.
"Quick, distribute weapons to the crew, and ask them to join in the anti-aircraft shooting!"
If it had been placed before, he did not know the horror of airplanes. But when he joined the task force, he understood. The battleship is completely outdated, and later it will be the time when these little things fly in the sky. Because after understanding these truths, he now understands what these more than 200 Japanese planes represent.
Nervous, I don't know whether to blame Tang Yunyang for selling these planes to the Japanese, or to blame Luckner for bringing the task force into this mortal place!
Like Cheng Biguang, almost every officer and soldier of the navy became nervous when faced with such a large group of planes. After all, to a certain extent, the "Yue Fei" attack aircraft carrier represents the power of China's rejuvenation, and if it is sunk by the Japanese Navy, I am afraid that the revival of China will embark on another extremely bumpy road.
But when faced with this predicament, Luknall was not nervous at all. This is not to say that his concentration is so strong, and what the danger at hand represents, as a well-organized German he would not understand. However, Tang Yunyang, who has far-sighted concerns and has no immediate worries, has already solved this problem for him, what else is there to worry about?
Ignoring the nervousness of the staff officers beside him, Luknar himself rekindled the freshly compacted tobacco from his pipe and drank the liquor from his glass before getting up and returning to his captain's quarters. There, he pulled out a sealed envelope with top secret inscriptions from the safe in the captain's quarters. Turning around, he came to the war room not far away, and beckoned a staff officer casually.
"Order, all the radio stations on the warship should be turned on to the maximum power, and the telegram in it should be sent out immediately as required!"
"Send a telegram, do you want to report bad news to Commander Tang? Although our situation is not good, we are not immune to a fight! ”
The staff officers were suspicious of the orders of the superiors, but doubting the orders of the commanders was not the custom of German naval officers. Soon the telegram reached the officer in charge of the radio room, and when the envelope was opened, none of the senders could see what the it was.
The requirement in this telegram was that ten radio stations, using ten different frequencies, send out a series of messages with the contents of the "book from heaven."
At this time, the first wave of attack planes of the Japanese Navy was approaching the attack position, and as mentioned above, the planes were in the process of dropping bombs or launching their own positions.
In order to maintain cohesion, the second wave of attack aircraft is 50 kilometers behind them, after all, only such continuous attacks can ensure that the second wave of attacks is unlikely to be attacked by the opponent's air power.
Just when everything was going according to plan, a mutation happened.
Radio waves are emitted from the antenna, and in an instant they fly through infinite space in the air, to where they are supposed to go. The place is in a confined space, on a cylindrical object, some small lights are lit up one after another, they are activated by special radio wave channels and special "messages", when all the small lights are lit up .......
Here, I have to say that the Chinese Renaissance Party attaches great importance to it. The old wolf is in charge of the scientific research troops. After all, he is the only one in this world who knows and believes Tang Yunyang's true origin. So, the research in the middle of scientific research will come to the research out, something strange that is not needed now.
When Tang Yunyang decided to sell planes to the Japanese, according to Tang Yunyang's request, try to prevent the other side from using these weapons to attack his own side, Mike. The old wolf used his crooked brain. He put some things that belonged to the future and had been pre-researched on the plane.
But what are these things? What kind of danger do they pose to others? Although their purpose is to prevent the opponent from attacking their own side with this weapon, then Mike. The IQ of the old wolf, what kind of mischief will he come up with?
