Chapter 420: Total Annihilation of the Japanese Navy
readx;?“ ......The roar of the plane's engines resounded through the blue sky, and Chinese and Japanese warplanes flew at high speed in the air, crossing from time to time, and the dense machine shells were like dazzling chains of fire crisscrossing the air, dazzling and dazzling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the fierce exchange of fire like meteors, fighter planes were constantly shot, burst into flames, smoked, crashed, and even exploded directly in the air by a dense rain of bullets, turning into a ball of brilliant fireworks.
Of course, the Japanese planes that were hit and crashed were basically painted with the sun flag.
The difference in the performance of the two planes is a whole era, and the difference in the most basic flight speed is nearly doubled, no matter how well-trained the Japanese pilots are, in this era when aiming depends on the pilot's sight, how can they beat the air force of the Northeast Frontier Army (pig) (pig) (island) (novel)?
As more and more Japanese planes were hit and damaged, the overall strength gap between the two sides was gradually widening, and the inferiority of Japanese fighters became more and more obvious, and the number of battle losses also increased sharply.
Without the intervention of external forces, the outcome of this air battle would have been predictable, and the only suspense was, how many Japanese planes could successfully escape back?
After all, their naval fleets were fighting bloody battles below, and the Japanese pilots who had not received orders dared to take the initiative to retreat and escape?
When the air battle lasted for more than half an hour, Zhang Xinghan personally led the main force of the Northeast Navy Fleet to the battlefield.
From a distance of more than ten nautical miles, eight battleships suddenly opened fire on Japanese destroyers that were struggling to defend themselves against attacks by the submarine forces of the Tohoku Navy.
In addition to the cruisers and destroyers accompanying the escort, hundreds of large and small battleships, thousands of naval guns fired in unison, and thousands of shells of different calibers roared with scorching flames.
Some of the shells fell into the water, causing a terrifying wave, but many more fell on the Japanese destroyer group.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble......! A deafening earth-shattering explosion rang out one after another.
The destroyed destroyer that was hit was in flames, black smoke billowed into the air, and a large number of unprepared devil sailors were swallowed up by the blast wave and turned into a bloody storm.
Just the first salvo. More than a dozen Japanese destroyers were unable to evade being hit, and two of them were directly hit by the super-caliber naval guns of the 70,000-ton super battleship Huo Quai, and were blown into two and quickly sank.
Several other ships were also badly damaged and incapacitated on the spot.
Japanese Navy Center, on the battleship Nagato.
The sudden and loud sound of artillery bombardment shocked Shusei Nagano and Isoroku Yamamoto, who were urgently discussing countermeasures in the battle command room.
Nagano Xiu Huo Ran raised his head, looked at Yamamoto Fifty-six and said, "Yamamoto-kun, what's the situation?" ”
Before Yamamoto could answer, a Japanese communications adjutant stumbled in, and the person who came looked hurried and didn't salute, so he said with a short breath: "Your Excellency, Commander." No, it's not good! The naval fleet of the Chinese People's Army suddenly appeared and was firing heavily on our destroyer group, and our side suffered heavy losses......! ”
A group of senior naval officers, including Nagano Shushen, were shocked when they heard this, and their faces changed drastically.
Only Yamamoto Fifty-six's narrow eyes kept turning, and when everyone was panicking, he suddenly said out: "General, the appearance of the Shina Navy is not necessarily a bad thing for us. ”
"Oh? Yamamoto-kun, what do you think? Nagano Xiu asked curiously when he heard this.
Yamamoto Fifty-six's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness and said, "Now the Chinese Air Force is just entangled with our air force. Unable to provide air support for it, we can concentrate all our forces and use the superiority of our naval fleet to storm the Chinese fleet with all our might, as long as we can completely annihilate the Chinese navy, then we have already won this battle. ”
Hearing this, Nagano Xiu frowned and said, "But the aviation unit has been in a hurry several times. Wouldn't this be worth the death of the aviation troops? ”
"Your Excellency, if you can completely annihilate the navy of China, you can resolve this unprecedented crisis in the empire. Then it is worth sacrificing the aviation forces, besides, as long as we can win this naval battle. The nearly 100,000 Shina's army on the island of Kyushu will be in mourning, and we will use them to pay tribute to the naval and air forces who died in battle. ”
"And what if we can't annihilate the China Navy before the defeat of the aviation forces? Aren't we in a very dangerous situation? One admiral asked.
Yamamoto Fifty-six looked at the admiral coldly and said: "There will never be an absolute victory in a war, its risks and benefits coexist, yes, if we take the initiative to retreat now, we can avoid all risks, but the consequence is that the people of China will successfully land on Kyushu Island, and what does the loss of Kyushu Island mean to our Great Japanese Empire?"
If the island of Kyushu is lost, millions of Yamato people will become slaves of the Shina people, and if you think about what the Imperial Army did in Manchuria and Shina, the fate of our Yamato people is already predictable.
The tragic encounter between Kitakyushu and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians on Yukihashi will be played out throughout Kyushu.
And this is also related to the dignity of our Great Japanese Empire and the entire Yamato nation, Kyushu Island no longer exists, what is the face of the Great Japanese Empire? Where is the dignity of the Yamato nation?
Therefore, for the sake of Kyushu Island, for the dignity and glory of the Yamato nation and the Japanese Empire, we will not hesitate to fight, even if the whole army is annihilated. ”
In the end, Yamamoto Fifty-six, the old devil, said in a somewhat choked tone: "The mission of the Combined Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy is to protect the territory of our Yamato nation from being violated, and if this mission cannot be fulfilled, then there is no need for it to exist!" ”
Feeling the tragedy in Yamamoto Fifty-six's tone, the long-lost blood in Nagano Xiu's body boiled again, and he immediately said with a final word: "Order all fleets to immediately assault and fight to the death with the Shina Navy!" ”
"Hay!" A group of Japanese naval generals led by Yamamoto 56 bowed their heads and responded violently.
Nagano's order to cultivate himself was quickly conveyed, and hundreds of Japanese ships of all sizes moved with all their might, and one after another battleships rode the wind and waves with their guns high.
At this time, the Japanese destroyer group had almost been completely wiped out under the all-out bombardment of the main fleet of the Northeast Navy, and dozens of destroyers of various sizes were either sinking or were exploding violently, billowing smoke.
The carrier-based planes on the few remaining aircraft carriers of the Japanese army had already taken to the air to meet the air force of the Northeast Frontier Army, and now there were almost nothing left.
Therefore, it was almost used as a battleship, and under the leadership of the Nagato, they opened fire on the Tohoku Navy, which was raging against their own destroyer group.
All of a sudden, thousands of naval guns of various calibers opened fire one after another, and the earth-shattering rumbling sound of artillery resounded in all directions above the blue sea and under the sky.
"Boom, boom, boom......" shells whistled and exploded deafeningly.
On the battleship Huo Quai, the captain and other commanders were orderly ordering the battleship to dodge, and adjusting the muzzle to fire at the Japanese ship.
In the command room of the ship's cabin, Zhang Xinghan sat silently smoking a cigarette, and Guo Zhong stood straight behind him like a sculpture.
"Headquarters, the Japanese fleet is all pressed up, and they are firing at us with all their might." A combat staff officer walked in in with a hurried expression.
Zhang Xinghan took a puff of cigarette, looked up at him and said lightly: "The soldiers are coming to block the water and cover the earth, what are you panicking about?" Our Huo Quai, with a displacement of 70,000 tons, was the largest at that time, and the Nagato of Little Japan was only more than 30,000 tons. Order the ships to fire their guns with all their might, and sink them for me!" ”
"Yes!" The combat staff officer hurriedly stepped forward and was about to turn around and leave, when Zhang Xinghan waved his hand again and stopped him: "Slow, send a telegram to the Jiaolong task force, it's time for them to perform, give me a hard beating, this time we must completely annihilate the Japanese naval fleet and completely clear the obstacles for my landing force!" ”
After the combat staff officer left, the careful Guo Zhong found that Zhang Xinghan's hand holding the cigarette seemed to tremble a little.
As the commander-in-chief, Zhang Xinghan's composure was strong, and he couldn't help but be nervous, because this was a battle that could only be won and not lost.
If it fails, not only will the 60,000 vanguard troops who have already landed on Kyushu Island fall into a desperate situation where they will be buried, but more than 100,000 echelon landing troops and officers and men of the navy and air force will also die in the blue waters.
He knew that although his ships had a considerable advantage over the Japanese warships in terms of displacement, defensive armor thickness, and speed, the overall number of ships between the two sides was still not small.
Now he pins all his hopes on the submarine force, which has always performed miraculous feats.
When the main forces of the Japanese fleet are all focused on a decisive battle with their own fleet, the submarine force will have an opportunity, as long as it can take out several large battleships of the Japanese army, the Japanese flagship is likely to be among them, then the victory of the Northeast Navy this time is in sight.
Inside the Japanese battleship Nagato.
Isoroku Yamamoto personally went to command the battle on another battleship, also in case the Nagato was sunk, so that the entire fleet would not lose its command system and fall into a dangerous situation without a leader.
Not long after Yamamoto Isoroku left, a Japanese vice admiral said to Nagano with concern: "Your Excellency, our destroyer group has suffered great losses, almost all of them have been wiped out, and the entire fleet has already engaged in a fierce battle with the Shina Navy, in case at this time, the submarine force that has disappeared from the Shina people suddenly appears, how should we deal with it?" ”
Nagano Xiu said without thinking: "Hasn't Yamamoto-kun already deployed our submarine force to guard against it?" ”
The vice admiral said hurriedly: "Your Excellency, the performance of our submarine is backward, and it is not enough to resist the attack of the submarine in China!" ”
Nagano Xiu was a little flustered when he heard this: "Then what does Suzuki-kun think we should do?" ”
