or 3G [Update] "Torpedo, it's a torpedo"

Looking at the white sèlàng line that suddenly appeared on the sea, a navy shouted a warning

Discovering these torpedoes that suddenly appeared, the fleet, which had been relatively calm, began to become more peaceful

For ships of this era, whether it is a shell or an aerial shell, it is not very scary, as long as the armor of the ship is thick enough, there will be no problem if it is hit a few times, if it is a small-caliber naval gun, it doesn't matter if it even stops there and lets you fight

As for aerial bombs? Unless it's a critical part like the Arizona, it's usually not a big problem

However, torpedoes are different ...

The historical battleship Yamato attaches great importance to protection, according to the design requirements, the ship's armor should be able to withstand the blow of its own 460 mm main gun at a distance of 2000030000 meters, and the middle deck can also resist 800 kg of aerial bombs dropped from a height of 3,900 meters In order to achieve the above requirements, the Yamato ship is equipped with a total of 22,895 tons of armor and defense plates, accounting for 33% of the normal displacement of the whole ship

But in the end, the Yamato still sank, and the 10 torpedoes that hit the Yamato were the most powerful

Although there was no drama of the sinking of the Yamato at this time, the threat of torpedoes was still obvious to all, so when someone discovered the torpedo, the entire fleet quickly began to maneuver to avoid it under Chen Shaokuan's order

However, the appearance of the Japanese submarine was still too sudden after all, although not all the torpedoes hit the target due to the fact that the fleet had been in the sailing stage in the first place, but there was still one torpedo that kept heading towards the Lingbō...

"Damn it"

Looking at the torpedo, which was likely to hit the Lingbō, several sailors shouted loudly with their hands on the railing

Although it is impossible for a torpedo to sink the Ling Bō, which is loaded with more than 80,000 tons, it is possible to inflict damage or even heavy damage, and in the case of the fleet's position, it is foreseeable that a major battle will soon occur, and at this time, the aircraft carrier with the strongest combat effectiveness in the fleet will be damaged, and the next will definitely affect the outcome of the battle...

However, at this moment, a destroyer suddenly came up and blocked the torpedo's path

"Boom"

The destroyer hit by the torpedo not only set off a column of water more than 100 meters high, but also opened a huge gap in the destroyer's hull

The target was a [Qingfeng]-class destroyer that was only finalized in early 41, this destroyer has a standard displacement of 3,000 tons, and a full load displacement of 4,000 tons, which is the most equipped air defense destroyer in the Wehrmacht Navy, equipped with four twin 105mm high-level dual-purpose naval guns, in addition to a considerable number of 30mm cannons, 127mm multi-barrel machine guns and multiple torpedo engines...

Although the [Qingfeng]-class destroyers have only been finalized for more than a year, because it is a war time, more than 50 destroyers of this kind have been built, and more than 40 are under construction

In addition, thanks to the engine technology, the [Qingfeng]-class destroyer has a range of 35 knots and a cruising range of 8,000 nautical miles

At present, the [Qingfeng] class has surpassed Japan's [Akizuki] class and has become the largest destroyer in the world, but it is not necessary to say that the [Qingfeng] class is the strongest destroyer

Although the [Qingfeng] class destroyer has become the largest destroyer in the world, it has a specialization, and the [Qingfeng] class was built and designed to be the guardian of the aircraft carrier, mainly to provide air defense cover for the fleet, so it is equipped with a 105mm L70 high-level dual-purpose naval gun

At the same time, some destroyers, such as the American [Fletcher] class and the Japanese [Shimakaze] destroyer, were equipped with 127mm caliber naval guns, which had a certain advantage over the [Qingfeng] class in terms of firepower

Therefore, if you really fight, it may not be who is better than whom, but the evaluation of the [Qingfeng] level within the navy is only two words, easy to use......

Although there are only two words, it can also prove the value of the [Qingfeng] class, in fact, if this were not the case, the navy would not have placed an order for 100 ships at one time, and there is a possibility of increasing depending on the progress of the war

Of course, in terms of firepower, it cannot be compared with the above two types of destroyers, but in terms of firepower density, it is much stronger than the above two types of destroyers, after all, the Seifeng class has 4 twin guns, while the American Fletcher class has only five single-barreled 127mm naval guns, and the Japanese Shimakaze has only three

In any case, the Qingfeng-class was designed to be the guardian of the aircraft carrier, and even needed to sacrifice itself to protect the aircraft carrier and other capital ships when necessary, so the twenty-ninth ship of the Qingfeng-class destroyer [Lanfeng] was also considered to be a well-deserved death...

――――――――――――――――――――

Directly hit by a torpedo, the Qingfeng-class destroyer is not a monster like a battleship after all, it can resist multiple torpedoes without sinking, not to mention that an aircraft carrier of more than 10,000 tons like the American Vespa, after being hit by four torpedoes, also sank into the sea, the first was three, the latter one was a mending knife, and the Qingfeng-class with a full platoon of only 4,000 tons naturally could not compare with them...

Although the Lanfeng did not sink directly into the sea at this time, but was still sailing, looking at the fire on the destroyer and the huge gap in the hull, almost everyone understood the fate of the Lanfeng next

Not long after, two cruisers broke away from the formation under Chen Shaokuan's order, one sailed to the vicinity of the Lanfeng, preparing to rescue the surviving crew on the destroyer, and the other was on guard duty around the Lanfeng to prevent the presence of other submarines, and to carry out a sneak attack on the Lanfeng that was still floating on the sea, and another cruiser on a rescue mission...

As for the Japanese submarine that has already exploded???

"Shoot that submarine and sink it"

Submarines are not able to use radios underwater, because the conductivity of seawater is very high, and ordinary radio bō will quickly consume the micro-bō, short bō and short bō communication equipment that can be used on the ground and surface after the submarine enters the water

So in order to report the location of the ocean fleet to Yamamoto Isoroku, the submarine had to surface, so after the torpedo was removed, the submarine quickly surfaced and reported the location of the fleet to Yamamoto Isoroku

Of course, the surface of the submarine is also tantamount to violently destroying one's position, which is an act of seeking death

However, before setting sail, the Japanese officers and soldiers in the submarine already knew the importance of the battle and had the determination to die, so these were naturally not important

However, for the officers and men of the Ocean Fleet, the Japanese submarine floating on the surface is the best target

"Fire"

Before the order was given, most of the ships were ready, so when the order was given, more than a dozen shells soon fell around the submarine, and one shell flew over the submarine's hull

The submarine is not very far from the fleet, this is due to the fact that the fish range of this period is not enough, or even if there is a long-range torpedo like the Type 93 spear torpedo, it is useless, after all, the torpedo is not a missile, even if the range is long, as long as the number of knots is not enough, it is difficult to hit the target

So as a rule, submarines fire torpedoes when they are extremely close to the target

It is precisely because of this relationship that none of the more than 10 shells hit the situation, which made many officers and men of the navy feel a little hot

On the other hand, it may be that there is no hope for survival, or it may be ......... Ahem, anyway, a few Japanese submariners ran out of the submarine and then shot at the nearest cruiser with the submarine itself

Not to mention for the time being, how much damage can be caused by the naval guns carried by this kind of submarine or whether it can cause damage, it is also very face-hurting to be provoked like this...,

So just in the next second, more than thirty shells struck the submarine again, and unlike the last time, this time at least twenty shells hit the target

There are both shells for 105mm caliber naval guns and shells for 210mm caliber naval guns, as for the 406mm naval guns and 380mm naval guns of battleships and cruisers, they are not mixed in, after all, shells also cost money, and the larger the shells, the higher the cost, there is no need to làng shells for this kind of stable guy

On the other hand, it is also true that after more than 20 shells hit the submarine, the submarine was directly torn apart, and it was considered dead and could not die anymore

After determining that the submarine could not be resurrected in situ like the alien spaceship in the later American movie "Skyrim", except for the two cruisers still there to rescue, the remaining ships were clustered around the four aircraft carriers and flew away―――――― and the position had already exploded

As for whether to rescue the soldiers in the Japanese submarine???

Hehe...

Not to mention the fact that under the attack of more than 20 shells, no one may be able to survive ...

――――――――――――――――――――

"The location is violent, I'm afraid it won't be easy to do next..."

Looking at the smoke still burning over the destroyer in the distance, Shen Honglie smiled bitterly

Originally, he was counting on finding the Japanese Combined Fleet first, but now he was the first to be stormed out

"It's nothing, I can only say that fate is like this..."

Shaking his head, Chen Shaokuan said to the officer on the side

"What's going on with Li Shijing?"

"I've got the battle in my hands..."

"That's good, order the aviation unit to return immediately..."Saying that, Chen Shaokuan glanced at the carrier-based aircraft densely arranged on the deck of the aircraft carrier, "It's good to keep a hand, and I won't be caught off guard..."

Although Li Shijing needs air support, Chen Shaokuan can't send all the fighters out after all, but leaves a considerable part of them in case of accidents, so he won't be too anxious about the current situation

"By the way, contact the Air Force and let their AWACS aircraft pay attention to the situation"

"Yes"

While Chen Shaokuan was still there commanding, the alarm of the fleet had been sounded, and the officers and men of the fleet, who had been quite leisurely, ran to their posts one after another, so that the entire fleet entered a state of combat readiness

On the other hand, after learning the location of the Ocean Fleet, under the order of Isoroku Yamamoto, groups of fighters also took off from the deck of the aircraft carrier in turn and flew towards the position reported by the submarine

No one is surprised that the submarine has lost contact, because it is clear to everyone that the submarine can no longer exist

Probably twenty minutes after the discovery of the submarine ...

"This is a Japanese plane..."

Looking at the dots of light that appeared on the radar display, a soldier spoke

After learning the news that the position of the fleet had been violated, an early warning plane quickly rushed to the airspace near the fleet to carry out a vigilance mission for the fleet―――――― and the scanning range of the radar of the early warning aircraft flying in the air was obviously much farther than that of the radar equipped on the warship

"It's the Japanese army, that's right"

A radar soldier glanced at it and nodded

After the confirmation was made, the officers and men on board the early warning plane hurriedly transmitted the news of the discovery of the Japanese plane to Chen Shaokuan, along with the general location of the Japanese plane

After learning the exact news, Chen Shaokuan immediately ordered more than 100 JZ10s on the deck that had been preparing for a long time to take off to meet the battle

On the other hand, he asked the AWACS aircraft to follow the course of the Japanese planes and carry out reconnaissance missions to find out the location of the combined fleet.

The Air Force did not refuse this task, so at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, the AWACS aircraft began to fly along the course of the Japanese planes and used radar to scan the sea surface

Because the flight altitude of the early warning aircraft is very high, several thousand meters higher than that of the Japanese aircraft, even if the early warning aircraft has flown over the heads of the Japanese aircraft group, the Japanese pilots have not found the shadow of the early warning aircraft―――――― and even if they do, I am afraid that they are only surprised, after all, the degree of secrecy of the early warning aircraft in China is similar to that of the atomic bomb project, and no one in the United States or Japan knows about the existence of the early warning aircraft

And the early warning aircraft is precisely Chen Shaokuan's greatest grasp in this battle

It's a pity that there were some deviations, and the AWACS aircraft did not find out where the location of the combined fleet was, but it was the Japanese submarine who discovered the ocean fleet first, which is really helpless...

――――――――――――――――――――

The distance between the Combined Fleet and the Ocean Fleet is almost several hundred kilometers, but the flight degree of Japanese planes is only 500 or 600 kilometers per hour, and the carrier-based bombers, which are the main force, are only 2 or 300 kilometers per hour

So by the time the Japanese fleet was about to fly to the head of the ocean fleet, more than an hour had passed

And when the Japanese aircraft group was still a few tens of kilometers away from the Ocean Fleet, the fleet's carrier-based aircraft units had already taken off to meet the battle

Although the number of carrier-based aircraft in Japan is more than that of the Ocean Fleet, the xìng ability of the Zero Battle is not as good as that of the JZ10, so although the number is relatively small, Chen Shaokuan is not worried that his flight unit will lose to the Japanese in air combat

He was worried that someone would fly over the head of the ocean fleet and drop torpedoes and bombs

More than ten minutes later, when the two groups collided together, the battle situation was similar to what Chen Shaokuan thought

Although it is slightly inferior in numbers, because China is at least a few levels higher than Japan in terms of technology, the xìng energy of the JZ10 is much better than that of the Zero Battle, so although it is at a disadvantage in numbers, the Chinese aircraft group is not at a disadvantage in air combat

However...

While the JZ10 was still fighting with the Zero at a low altitude, more than 100 bombers had already flown over the Ocean Fleet

"Hit"

Looking at these Japanese planes flying overhead, an officer shouted

In just an instant, the anti-aircraft fire of the fleet itself has covered the entire sky, and the most brilliant of them is probably the 30mm multi-barreled cannon and the 105mm L70 high-level dual-purpose gun equipped with the Qingfeng-class destroyer

As long as the former is targeted, it is basically the end of being crushed

Although the latter is not as perverted as the former, its killing range is much higher, and its ability to sustain combat is also much stronger

It's just that although the anti-aircraft firepower is strong, there are fish that slip through the net after all

Soon, several warships were attacked, including a light cruiser, like the Lanfeng just now, that blocked a torpedo for the aircraft carrier Louvre

In addition, the Kunlun aircraft carrier was also hit by a bomb, but fortunately, the Kunlun paid great attention to the protection ability when designing, so there was a layer of armor under the deck, so although the Kunlun suffered some damage, it did not have the ability to fight because of this

On the contrary, it was the Japanese bomber, after the bomb dropped hit the Kunlun, it was hit by the anti-aircraft weapons equipped with the Kunlun, and the intensive anti-aircraft fire directly dismembered the bomber

Although the Japanese air raids were fierce, they did not last long, but the fleet also paid a lot of costs

The Kunlun was damaged, a light cruiser was torpedoed, although it has not sunk yet, but it will settle down after a few more clicks, in addition to many ships were damaged, some were unjustifiably damaged, originally aimed at the aircraft carrier's bomb, but it hit them...

On the other hand, the AWACS aircraft that was flying in the direction from which the Japanese plane was flying had not yet sent back the slightest news at this time, although Chen Shaokuan did not have any expression on his surface at this time, but Shen Honglie on the side knew that he was already a little anxious in his heart

It was at this time that the radar of the aircraft carrier itself detected a group of enemy aircraft

Fortunately, at this time, the fighter plane that provided air support for Li Shijing had returned, so it did not put too much pressure on the fleet

And just when Chen Shaokuan ordered the fighters that had been reloaded with ammunition to prepare for battle, an officer finally sent back the news of the early warning aircraft

"Commander, the Air Force has discovered the location of the Japanese fleet"

"Good" to be continued)
