Chapter 124

readx; Today's day can be described as a bad year for the naval aviation of the little Japanese devils, first of all, the 13 fighters sent earlier to chase and intercept the 10 fighters of the Beiyang Central Air Force failed, but were ambushed by 8 of the 16 fighters sent by Zhao Heng, who made a bad decision behind them, and as a result, none of them were able to escape back to the location of the aircraft carrier, and they did not know that their 13 fighters were killed by others, and at the same time, the officers on the aircraft carrier of the Japanese Navy, who did not know it, were worried that their fighters would suffer a big loss. As a result, the Japanese naval officers on the ship were ordered to send the only 26 Type III ship-based fighters on the ship to reinforce them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

As a result, as soon as they arrived, they were attacked by 16 biplane Zeros that had been waiting in the airspace that had just broken out of air warfare, and they were shot down from the sky one after another like turkeys, and the pilots of the planes were killed and injured countless times. When the navy of small Japan learned the news through the radio, it was so angry that it screamed and felt pain at the same time, how long does it take for a pilot to be trained by Nima, not to mention that the property used on these pilots is about to pile up into a hill, seeing that the fighters brought by themselves are wiped out, but the heart is anxious, originally let the fighters kill the Central Air Force and then drop the bombs on the positions where the 19th Route Army is stationed, now how can the planes be bombed, even if the fighters are transferred from the mainland, the time is not allowed, As a last resort, the devils had no choice but to bombard the Zhabei position defended by the 19th Route Army with naval guns from the ships dispatched by the naval fleet stationed in Shanghai, the Izumo-class armored cruiser Ataku-class, the Hozu-class river-gunboat, and the Urakaze-class destroyer.

After receiving the order to bombard Zhabei, these battleships turned around and staggered towards the shelling destination, and the battleships arrived at the destination point after more than ten minutes, stopping and dropping their anchors to fix them in their current positions. Among them, the Tokiwa-Izumo-class armored cruiser with a displacement of 9,750 tons and a full load displacement of 9,906 tons, under the control of the turret artillerymen, immediately aimed all the naval guns at Zhabei, and 4 2 twin-mounted 203 mm Armstrong main guns and 4 152 mm guns, and 4 ** 127 mm anti-aircraft guns (twin X2) came to several test firing under the operation of the ship's personnel. The result was quite good, and after seeing that there was no reaction from the other side, the gunners on the Joban carried the shells even more frantically, and did not forget to fire indiscriminately at the civilian area, continuously and intensively tilting towards Zhabei, a huge number of shells, and for a time the shells exploded the entire Zhabei sea of fire.

The Ataka-class river gunboat, which has a displacement of less than 800 tons, can only use the two single-mount three-year 120mm L/45 guns with the largest firepower on the ship, and rely on a small number of gunners to carry the shells. Immediately after the Joban spat shells towards Zhabei without a single shot, the smaller tonnage of the Hozu-class used two single-mount three-year 76 mm L/40 anti-aircraft guns with slightly thin firepower to strafe everything that could be seen on the ground opposite, and on the 2,500-ton Yangyan-class (Pufeng-class) destroyer, the three six twin three-year 127 mm L/50 guns also joined the bombardment. After the guns of the small Japanese warships bombarded Zhabei in a frenzied manner, it was the common people who suffered. These homeless and surviving local residents cursed that the little Japanese devils who fired the guns would not die well.

After half an hour of shelling, what made the Japanese strange was that the 19th Route Army did not use large-caliber heavy artillery to carry out any effective counterattack, but instead made a turtle with a shrunken head, which surprised the Japanese ships, and at the same time made the small Japanese navy even more arrogant, and unscrupulously threw shells on the heads of innocent civilians who had just run home to get something.

"Ahh After a burst of swearing, most of the veterans of the 19th Route Army and some of the first-time volunteer crew members hid in the newly constructed anti-artillery trenches, except for some personnel who were outside to observe. Due to the high groundwater level in Shanghai, the sand had to be brought in from afar, tamped, and sturdy logs were used to build field trenches. (This is also due to the fact that Zhao Heng sent several giant airships to transport them around the clock, bringing a huge amount of earth, stones, bricks and wood.) Although the Japanese guns of 100 to 200 mm caliber constantly dropped shells on the positions of the 19th Route Army, and a lot of sand and soil were blown up, but they could not destroy the entire position, it was better for the Japanese to be alive and die in the trenches if the 19th Route Army did not come out.

"Yo Xi, the people of China don't dare to come out and fight with us, so you will work hard to destroy them in the trenches!!" The captain of the Izumo-class armored cruiser Tokiwa, Yamada Dingo, held the binoculars and looked at the empty 19th Route Army position in the distance, nodding constantly, and finally put down the binoculars to cheer up his subordinates.

"Hey, I'm here in Zhabei position, the little devil's artillery is hitting too hard, I hope to send fighter jets to give them some color to see, so that these little devils can stop for a while." Defending this place was the first battalion of Zhang Junsong's regiment of the sixth regiment of the 78th division, and the commander of the first battalion, Liu Changjiang, held a large walkie-talkie and called to the top.

"What, fighter jets can't be sorted? So what to do? You can't just keep getting shot and not fighting back. After a while, the regimental headquarters replied that the fighters were used by him to tell them to hold on for a while longer, and the support would arrive immediately, and Liu Changjiang was very dissatisfied with the regimental headquarters' answer. Since they all call themselves to wait, then wait, I don't know what kind of support is more powerful than a fighter, who calls someone else his top boss.

Just when the first battalion commander and the regiment headquarters were talking nonsense, the little Japanese ** was fighting. A strange catamaran battleship without any national emblem and flagpole cleaved the waves and quickly approached the Japanese artillery ships, because the fighters on the Japanese aircraft carriers were exhausted earlier, and there was not even a reconnaissance, the few remaining reconnaissance planes just took off and did not stay in the sky for a long time before they were wiped out by the winged Zero that swept through the sky from time to time, and these aircraft carriers with very bad weapons could only watch the behemoth in front of them pass by in desperation, setting off a big wave that almost subverted itself. The other party didn't look at them, and they headed towards the Japanese ships that were happily firing at the position of the 19th Route Army, and the little devils on the aircraft carrier wanted to notify the battleships in front of them that the enemy was coming through the radio, but after a long time, the channel was full of busy sounds, and these little devils who shelled Zhabei did not know that a catastrophe was about to come, and they were firing with all their might.

To be honest, this catamaran battleship, which swaggered and ignored the small Japanese aircraft carriers around it, did give a sense of shock. This unprecedented giant beast was made from the system based on a series of drawings and data of the unfinished Alsace-class battleships in France during World War II as a template, and the cost made him cry out of the flesh. At first, I planned to make the small Japanese Yamato out and make it a catamaran battleship, but after looking at the 3D modeling of the Yamato, I found that it had too many weaknesses and problems, including its own bow tower was too high, which completely affected the navigation, so I chose the French Rooster's battleship to deal with it under the consideration of cost performance.

After the system was completed, this unnamed double-hull battleship was delivered to Zhao Heng, after all, the account had already been paid, and there was no reason not to release it. So the standard displacement of 135,000 tons, the full load displacement of 190,000 tons, the total length of the whole ship is 337 meters, because it is a double-body structure, the width of the ship has reached an astonishing 143 meters, and the draft is thanks to the double-body structure structure, so the deep draft of the original single hull is reduced to the current depth of 4.61 meters, which is completely comparable to a ship of thousands of tons. The power system still chooses to use two large magic steam turbines according to this era. It is said that this is a special gift of the system of the top goods, the maximum power of a single single is 197,000 horsepower, which is amazing power at the time, it is enough to be comparable to the current countries garbage battleship engine, and then put the two powerful open hanging engines together, directly installed in the power compartment of the ship's amidships, the actual effectiveness of the result came out: its total power of 394,000 horsepower, due to the magic change of the performance has been improved, the engine size is a lot smaller and saves a lot of space on the battleship. It's like the warships of the great powers now that they have to install three or four steam turbines, but the power behind them is still low and not fast. For the maximum speed of this battleship, Zhao Heng expressed great satisfaction with this, its maximum speed of 54 knots can throw the large battleships in the world today several streets, and what is even more fierce is that the endurance of this battleship reaches 16,000 nautical miles / 18 knots.

Speaking of protection, the main armor belt of the battleship itself has been redesigned to reach the thickness of 640 mm (the inclination of 15.5 degrees remains unchanged) homogeneous armor, the end of the main armor belt is 254-306 mm, the deck is 510 mm, the front of the main turret is equipped with a thick layer of armor to reach 860 mm, the protection of the top cover of 390 mm is not low, and the gun mount is surrounded by a circle of thick armor to reach an astonishing 810 mm. The kind of chicken rib armor of the Alsace-class battleships in the earlier history was not very good in Zhao Heng's eyes, and he spent a lot of points to make this nameless battleship really become a monster with rough skin and thick flesh, not to mention that the 460 mm naval guns of the Yamato-class could not be opened, and even the oversized and modified 510 mm naval guns in Little Japan's fantasy had no way, if it was the Germans' frenzied 800 mm naval guns, this battleship had to run away quickly so as not to become an amusement park for fish on the bottom of the sea.

In terms of armament, Zhao Heng wisely did not choose the triple 406 mm and 460 mm and twin 510 mm main gun scheme, these calibers look very beautiful, but they are actually completely overweight, heavier than the original 380 mm naval guns of the Alsace-class battleships and the quadruple turrets weighing 2274 tons each. After repeated comparisons, Zhao Heng instead chose the 530 mm twin-mounted naval gun produced by the system with strong firepower, the original 45 times the barrel of the barrel was lengthened to 53.5 times the diameter, and the range was greatly improved, and it should not be a problem to hit more than 100 kilometers or even farther, but the power of the disemboweled shell is a bit large.

Yo ho, the entire battleship was installed with 5 twin 10 530 mm 53.5 caliber main guns at one time. First of all, the two main guns in front of the bow are staggered up and down, one main gun is arranged in the front of the double hull, the second main gun is arranged in a higher position behind the front main gun, and the remaining three main guns are also installed on the hull of the rear half of the hull according to the layout of the front, and all the main guns are arranged according to the central axis.

In addition, Zhao Heng still retained the good things, even the French turret at that time adopted the mode of hydraulic control inside, and the use of electric hydraulic pump as the driving power was carried to the battleship intact. Another amazing feature of the French 380mm turret is the ability to reload at any angle. Thanks to the use of a reloading system called "elastic loading", the combat rate of fire of the gun was increased, which was significantly higher than that of other fixed-angle loading battleships. Therefore, this super battleship in Zhao Heng's hands can completely suppress 2 Yamato-class battleships with the combat power of a single ship! In other words, not enough firepower? Then I can make up for it with quantity! 10 530 guns will definitely give the opponent a headache.

On both sides of the hull, 4 triple 12 152 mm 52 x caliber secondary guns were still installed, and all the 16 100 mm anti-aircraft guns (twin x8) on the original French Gallic warships were replaced with 32 flak-41 anti-aircraft guns with a total number of 88 mm 56 x caliber; The early 32 37mm single-barreled anti-aircraft guns were a little painful in Zhao Heng's eyes. In order to further improve the ship's medium-range air defense capability, Zhao Heng simply replaced all the 64 32-seat 59-type 57 mm 100 times caliber anti-aircraft guns with twin installations, and the so-called 450 mm torpedo tubes are cumbersome, what age is it now, this design before World War I has been left to the present, on the contrary, today's battleship construction has canceled this outdated design with great hidden dangers, because that design is out of date in today's era, This is formulated by Zhao Heng according to the historical future development trend.

"The Kamui arrives in the war zone, ready to attack at any moment." The catamaran's telecommunications room was sending encrypted airwaves somewhere.

"Then let's attack." Zhao Heng, who was sitting in a secret place on the outskirts of Shanghai who received the signal, then issued an order, as for the so-called 'Shenwei' name of the catamaran battleship, it was just that he gave it a random name out of laziness. "Understood!!" The Kamui began to officially appear on the stage of this plane and plane.
