Chapter 1, After Fighting Each Other

"I heard that Japan and the United States had a fight in the Pacific. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Yes, this is reported in foreign newspapers today, and I heard that the losses on both sides are very serious."

"How much was lost? Who has the most losses? ”

"Half a catty and eight taels, the losses are very serious, and the battleships are almost half sunk."

"Half of it, how much is that, how good it is for me."

"You're delusional."

"By the way, do you have any specific loss data?"

"It's still collecting, and it is estimated that it will come out soon, but the British and American sides are making a big fuss about the news, saying that they have severely damaged the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy, and the Japanese side has been silent, as if they have acquiesced in this matter."

"Well, hurry up, I want to know what their losses are."

"Okay."

That's right, it was Lu Qiang and the monkey who were talking.

It's been a few days since the Japanese Combined Fleet vs. the U.S. Pacific Fleet, but it's still fermenting. The eyes of the world are glued to Japan and the United States.

Of the Axis powers, Japan had the most developed navy, and the United States had the most developed industry among the Allies, so their engagement was destined to be remarkable.

The Allies, in particular, had been bullied by the Axis powers and desperately wanted a victory for their whites to boost morale.

And this war in the Pacific gave them an excuse.

In this battle at sea, no one won or lost, and the losses on both sides were extremely serious, but in the eyes of the United States, they won because their strategic goal had been achieved, and although the losses were extremely miserable, they succeeded in inflicting a heavy blow on the Japanese Combined Fleet, so that Japan would not have time to patronize their coastal shipyards, and they could boldly go to ship ships.

On the Japanese side, Yamamoto Isoroku had a black face, and since that naval battle, he has not been happy, because in this battle, he did not achieve the expected results, but the losses were not small.

According to his ideas, his fleet should destroy the American fleet at a small cost in this naval battle, and affirm their position in the Pacific Ocean.

But for some reason, several of their battleships were inexplicably torpedoed and sunk. At the beginning of the battle, the Yamato was inexplicably hit by a shot, and the cabin was flooded, and until the end of the fight, it remained in a state of tilting to the left.

Japan was inferior to the United States in terms of damage management, and it was not as good as the American army, so until the end of the naval battle, the Yamato failed to fire a single shot, and Yamato's first expedition was defeated.

The reason for the torpedoes in the Japanese battleships was that after these battleships were towed back, after some inspection, the navy found that this torpedo seemed to be very similar to their Type 93 oxygen torpedo, and some torpedo fragments found on the hull were very consistent with their 93 torpedoes.

From this it can be concluded that these torpedoes were fired by their own people, but from where it is not known, who let their torpedoes range too far, already more than 20,000 meters.

In this kind of oolong incident, the Japanese side naturally kept silent, it was too face-saving, and who would say anything about this kind of face-losing thing. In this way, people from the outside world do not know, and the US military still thinks that those warships were blown up by torpedoes fired by them.

It can be said that Japan's naval battle this time did not achieve the expected results, and it was completely a pit for its own people, and if it were not for those torpedoes that accidentally injured their own people, the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy would not have been so miserable, and even one aircraft carrier sank in their torpedoes.

True, one of the aircraft carriers was sunk by a torpedo fired by their own people, and after swimming 30 kilometers, one of their aircraft carriers was sunk by the Wyvern.

Such a large aircraft carrier was sunk by a torpedo, which also shows the power of the 93 torpedo from the side.

The Flying Dragon, which was originally sunk by a torpedo fired by a US submarine, was blown up and sunk by a 93 torpedo launched by his own people, and died at the age of 1 year and 4 months.

The Wyvern was the only battleship sunk by its own men in this naval battle, and some of the others were hit, but not sunk and towed away, but more than one aircraft carrier was sunk.

This time, the Japanese army dispatched a total of 8 aircraft carriers, namely Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, Flying Dragon, Shozuru, Fengxiang, Flying Eagle, and Zuizuru. Among them, 3 ships were sunk by US bombers, and 1 ship was sunk by their own people, a total of four.

Three torpedoes were fired by US planes, and one bombshell sank the Kaga, the aircraft carrier that had bombed Guangdong twice, after receiving a bombshell, a fire broke out on the deck, and everyone went to put out the fire, no one noticed that five torpedo planes were then thrown at her, except for two torpedoes that were missed, the other three successfully hit the Kaga, sending her to the bottom of the sea.

The Canglong is more miserable. At first, I was a little lucky, and was hit by two torpedoes for the first time, but both torpedoes failed. The US military is now using the MK13 torpedo, which is not very good, it is a problem torpedo, it often fails in various ways, and the power is also small.

Although it escaped a catastrophe for the first time, it was patronized by several bombers in the back, and the fire was soaring, and all the wooden planks on the deck were burned by the fire, and the firefighting troops were killed and wounded in the continuous bombardment, and the other Japanese soldiers were almost killed in the explosion, and then the Canglong was burned all the time, like a mobile barbecue platform, the fire was raging, until the flames spread to the ammunition depot, boom, and it was completely blown off, during which it also suffered two torpedoes, but for some reason it also failed. So the Canglong was completely burned alive.

The third aircraft carrier to be sunk was the Fengxiang, she died not as miserably as the Canglong, after a few bombs and a torpedo, the hull tilted, and finally another torpedo machine fired a torpedo at her, I don't know if it was her misfortune, or the pilot of the torpedo machine was too lucky, this torpedo was successfully detonated, which became the last straw that crushed her.

If it weren't for the torpedo that swam 30 kilometers and sank the Wyvern, the Japanese would have lost only three aircraft carriers this time.

The Japanese lost four aircraft carriers, and the American army lost three, although there was one less, but it was a big loss for the American army, which did not have many aircraft carriers.

There were 4 aircraft carriers transferred from the Atlantic, plus the Lexington, those seaplane aircraft carriers are not counted, there are only five aircraft carriers in total, and three were killed by the Japanese at once, the Japanese lost four of the eight, and the American army lost three of the five ships, and they lost more than the Japanese in proportion.

The Japanese suffered a 1:2 loss, and the American army suffered a 1.2:2 loss.

Therefore, it stands to reason that the losses of the US military should be greater.

However, the key is in the speed of construction, and the Japanese army cannot catch up with the American army. (To be continued.) )
