Chapter 1975 Sea Eagle Attack

After nightfall last night, two "Sea Hawk" I-type shore-to-ship missile launching battalions were smoothly deployed in place, the missile combat vehicles were smoothly deployed according to the predetermined plan, and the trumpeters at each combat position quickly took place and began to control the equipment. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In the early hours of the morning, after the Japanese fleet was divided into two parts, the airships and land-based radars continuously reported the location, distance, course, and speed of the target warship.

In the command cabin of the formation, the display screen of the information command terminal and the signal lights of the weapon display and control console flashed incessantly, all kinds of technical parameters were updated in real time according to the radar information, and the sonorous responses of the operation trumpeters at each combat position came and went.

Preparations for missile launch proceeded in an orderly manner, and soon, a total of eight anti-ship missiles from the two sets of installations stood proudly and angrily pointed at the target sea area, and the launch positions entered the intense stage of preparing for launch.

In the dark night, the little fluorescence on the launch vehicle looks mysterious and reverie.

As soon as the preparations were ready, it was already the second half of the night, except for the personnel on duty, the rest of the officers and men began to eat properly, drink water, or smoke a cigarette to relieve their nervous mood and wait for the moment when the launch order arrived.

In a tightly sealed armoured command vehicle, the walls of the vehicle isolate the lights from the outside world. Colonel Zhang Junbao, commander of the Navy's First Shore-to-Ship Missile Regiment, was drinking tea and holding a small meeting with the two commanders of the missile battalion who were responsible for the launch mission.

The commander of the first battalion, Major Liu Jiafu, listened to the roar of shells in the night and said with a smile:

"The fight in the north is really lively, and the little devil has hit the iron plate this time...... Don't say that there are so many artillery in the fortress area, just say that in the Gaotai Town and Ertaimiao area, we have deployed a **heavy tank brigade and a ** rocket artillery brigade, even if the enemy takes the fortress area, we can recapture the position through counterattack in the shortest possible time. ”

Zhang Junbao looked at the two subordinates and said disapprehantly:

"Not necessarily...... The most critical thing in the entire West Fort is the large-caliber fortress guns that pose a great threat to the battleships, and according to the latest battle reports, the Japanese battleships retreated several times, but they could not stand the fierce bombardment of the fortress guns, and had to choose to retreat. Once the fortress is lost, the Japanese warships have no threat, and they can completely approach the artillery bombardment, with the power of the enemy's 356 mm caliber naval guns, our Tiger tanks will be crushed to pieces after a single shot, and the enemy can send gunboats deep into the Liao River to land from the urban area of Yingkou, and the entire front will quickly erod. Therefore, based on the stable defense of the fort, and then properly give full play to the advantages of our firepower, this is the best policy! ”

Major Yang Qingyun, commander of the Second Battalion, and the unit he led were transferred from the 150-mm cannon artillery of the Second Artillery Corps to the shore-to-ship missile unit of the Navy after half a year of operational training.

"In this relatively dense and narrow area, rocket artillery can play the most obvious role, why not simply transfer the ** rocket artillery brigade above? Even if there is only one regiment, as long as a salvo comes down, those Japanese soldiers on the beach will not exist...... Listen, the gunfire is so fierce now, if I were to command, I'm afraid it would have been quiet by now, where is there such a hard work? ”

Zhang Junbao smiled: "Qingyun, I see that you are the same as me, you don't think about the consequences when you do things...... Think about it, if we destroy the enemy too quickly, then don't we tell the opponent early - this way is not working, please leave quickly? Why delay the war until dawn before it is finally settled, because at this time our air force can be dispatched without scruples, and then we have a full day to squander! The entire Liaodong Bay is under the control of our air force, and how easy is it for the Japanese fleet to calmly withdraw from the Bohai Sea?

"This time, our task is very critical, to use shore-to-ship missiles to directly destroy the enemy's aircraft carriers, destroy all the enemy's fighters on the deck, and break the enemy's three-dimensional defense.

Majors Yang Qingyun and Liu Jiafu nodded their heads repeatedly, both proud of their ability to serve as the main part of the action plan.

At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Gan Ze, the political commissar of the regiment, opened the door and walked in, and said: "The artillery fire in the north has been thinned, everyone should be in place, it is estimated that the order of the headquarters will be issued soon!" ”

Zhang Junbao looked at his watch and stood up: "Let's go, we will create the first example of land missiles hitting sea surface warships in human history, and we will go down in history for this!" ”

......

The surface of the Bohai Sea.

As time went on, Vice Admiral Tsukahara 243, commander of the Japanese Navy's 3rd Aircraft Carrier Task Force, became more and more impatient.

The fleet was divided into two parts, east and west, and fought separately, and the perfect air defense system that it originally had was gone, and seeing that the sky was about to dawn, the minesweepers sent out had not yet completed mine clearance, which gave Tsukahara the idea of retreating immediately.

Finally, Tsukahara 243 issued an order for all ships to be ready, and if the demining work could not be completed within half an hour, the fleet would immediately evacuate.

At six o'clock in the morning, good news came from the front, and the demining boats on the east and west sides happened to be in the same direction of demining, and it was expected that a passage would be cleared in another half an hour at most.

Tsukahara 243, who was about to lead the fleet, had to press the strong uneasiness in his heart again and wait for the demining work to be completed, after all, the crime of leaving the precious warship of the empire and escaping without permission was not something he could bear.

At this time, in the waters of Yingkou, the sound of guns and artillery is still endless, but it is no longer as fierce as the most intense time, the three divisions of the Japanese army each invested two wings to launch a landing operation, and after a night of hard fighting, Yingkou Harbor Wuzi stood still, seeing that the sky was about to dawn, and the remaining three wings were no longer able to enter the battle as the capital of the reorganization of each division, and even Kato Hajiro, who had the most resolute attitude, lost his will to forge ahead in fear and despair.

At a quarter past six, as the minesweepers accelerated the speed of minesweeping, Kato Hajiro gave the order to retreat, but at this moment, the Japanese troops on the beach had no way to retreat, most of the landing ships were turned into torches, and the few intact landing ships could not be so easy to go up?

The entire beach was as bright as day under the illumination of flares, and there was no cover, and the process of retreat was a process of death, even if some Japanese troops were lucky enough to return to the landing ships and a series of shells fell down, these devil officers and soldiers who had not had time to breathe were blown to pieces along with the hull.

The small number of landing ships that did not dock retreated, but the overall losses were so great that every Navy and Army general who participated in the operation was terrified.

At half past six, the sky was slightly bright, and as the minefield was swept out of a passage again, the ships of the Japanese assault fleet began to retreat in disarray.

......

At 6:35 a.m., as the command order was delivered, the two battalions of the shore-to-ship missile regiment entered the final countdown to launch.

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1, launch!"

In an instant, the firing units were launched one after another, and the first wave of eight missiles with a light blue tail flame pierced through the dark night and flew towards sea targets.

A distance of more than 40 kilometers is only a matter of three or four minutes for a shore-to-ship missile with a cruising speed of Mach 0.85.

In the last 15 kilometers, the eight shore-to-ship missiles were raised to an altitude of 300 meters, and after the small radar inside the missiles successfully captured the target and locked onto it, the shore-to-ship missiles accelerated again to Mach 1 and rushed at high speed toward the aircraft carriers "Unryu," "Amagi," "Katsuragi," "Tanba," "Omi," "Mimasaka," and "Toyama."

At this time, the Japanese Third Aircraft Carrier Task Force, which consisted of aircraft carriers and air defense destroyers, did not yet know that the danger was approaching.

In the command post of the "Yunlong" aircraft carrier, which is the flagship of the fleet, Tsukahara 243 was calmly listening to the report of the herald, because radio communication was blocked, and the radar was also seriously interfered with, and the fleet's communication at present was all dependent on lights, flags, and speedboats.

If you look at the sea from the air at this time, you can see the general appearance of the entire fleet:

The assault fleet in the east is forming a long snake formation, slowly passing through the waterway formed after the torpedo is removed, and is moving closer to the main fleet in the west, while the more than 10 Akizuki-class air defense destroyers of the western fleet are surrounding seven aircraft carriers in the middle, forming an air defense and antisubmarine formation, patiently waiting for the return of the assault fleet.

Tsukahara two-four-three turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, and asked anxiously, "It's already dawn, how much time will it take for the assault fleet to completely pass through the waterway?" ”

Chief of Staff Matsunaga Sadashi replied helplessly: "It will take about half an hour!" Is it necessary to send all the fighters out to escort it? ”

Tsukahara 243 nodded decisively: "The enemy's air raid may come at any time, and now the assault fleet is passing through the minefield, and it is impossible to form an effective air defense formation at all, and only the aviation can take on the task of protection!" ”

At this moment, the voice of the lookout deployed on the upper open deck came from the speaker of the command post of the ship: "Commander, an unknown object has been found ahead and is approaching us at high speed!" ”

The open-air deck is the air defense command post of the mother ship, equipped with 12 cm and 8 cm binoculars, which the lookout uses to observe the air and sea at all times, so to speak, the eyes of the aircraft carrier. Tsukahara 243 felt a tense heart when he heard this, strode out of the command post of the ship, came to the compass bridge outside, and asked loudly upwards, "Is it the enemy's fighter?" ”

A lookout came down quickly from the stairs, handed Tsukahara 243 a pair of binoculars, pointed to the distance and said in horror, "No...... Commander, look, they're coming to us! ”

Tsukahara picked up the telescope in confusion and looked in the direction of the lookout's finger, only to see that his eyes suddenly widened, and his mouth opened rapidly, as if he had seen a ghost, standing on the bridge without moving.

At this moment, all the devil admirals who were gathered around Tsukahara 243 showed the same shocked expression. I saw that the things flying from the east were extremely fast, almost instantly, and they could be clearly observed with the naked eye without even using a telescope, and under the gaze of all the Japanese naval officers and men, eight cigar-shaped things were flying towards the fleet at super high speed, and in the dawn of dawn, these things shone like broomstick stars.

A distance of two or three kilometers is a blink of an eye for a shore-to-ship missile that has reached a speed of Mach 1 per hour, and under the horrified gaze of the Japanese naval officers and men, Tsukahara 243 did not even have time to react, and the first shore-to-ship missile had already passed through the outer protective "Egetsu" destroyer and slammed into the bow of the "Amagi" aircraft carrier in front of the flagship.

Under the action of the time-delay fuse, the oil tank loaded on the anti-ship missile exploded violently, and the remaining fuel on the missile had a fierce chemical reaction with the aircraft fuel carried by the aircraft carrier, and the explosion power was doubled, and the broken and twisted steel, burning fire, billowing heat wave and thick smoke were shocking.

The 11 carrier-based planes docked at the stern of the deck were thrown high by the bounced deck, but due to the fetters of the tie-down ropes, the planes were pulled rapidly, turned back headlong, and hit the deck heavily, and then were ignited by sparks splashing in the distance, and exploded with a "boom".

As one fighter plane exploded, the rest of the fighters also exploded one after another, and the entire aircraft carrier "Amagi" was shrouded in flames.

Tsukahara 243 turned pale and shouted, "Hurry up, hide quickly!" ”

Chief of Staff Matsunaga Sadashi asked in a panic, "Where are you going to hide?" ”

"You can go anywhere, ...... quickly"

Before Tsukahara could say anything, an anti-ship missile had already hit the "Yunlong" aircraft carrier.

All the personnel on the "Yunlong" were tilted from east to west in a violent tremor of the hull that was more violent than hitting the reef, and before they could react, as the flagship of the fleet, the "Yunlong" aircraft carrier enjoyed one more anti-ship missile than other aircraft carriers, and this missile directly hit the open-air deck, and then penetrated downward, tearing through the compass bridge and deck bridge one after another, and exploding in the lower part, directly destroying the command post, the herald post, the wheelhouse, the war room and chart room, the bridge wiring room, The Nakawave measurement room and the pilot's standby room were blown to pieces, and Tsukahara 243 and the members of the fleet headquarters were sent to see Amaterasu without even the slightest pain.

Seven aircraft carriers, at the moment were shrouded in flames and smoke, and all carrier-based aircraft were trapped in hangars due to the destruction of the deck.

The sailors on the mothership and the nearby destroyers, one by one, panicked, ran back and forth, trying to do something. No one noticed that in the north, east, and south of the sky, there were large waves of planes flying at high speed, and not far away on the sea. The periscope of the submarine had already seen the panic of the Japanese army, and a new wave of attacks was about to be launched.

The fall of the Japanese fleet was in the blink of an eye.
