Chapter 250: Brilliant fireworks
At this time, radar had not yet been invented, and it was not until 1922 that it was first equipped on warships, so now the patrol tasks of the fleet still had to be completed by patrol boats on the periphery.
Once the fleet is discovered by the peripheral patrol boats, it will send a telegram to notify all Japanese warships as soon as possible, which will bring some trouble to the operation of the Huafu fleet, so this problem must be considered. Even with the use of electronic jamming, if the patrol boat fires its guns, it will expose the fleet's sneak attack.
If it is the current old-fashioned fleet, this problem may be more troublesome, but for the new warships with far more space-time technology than the Republic of China, this problem is easy to solve, over-the-horizon strike.
After the replenishment was completed, the fleet set off again, and at night there was some wind on the sea, and the waves on the sea were a little strong, but they could not stop the Huafu fleet from attacking.
At 4:20 a.m., it is the darkest time of the day, the ultimate point of darkness, and the end of darkness will be an infinitely beautiful world of light.
The Huafu fleet has arrived at the predetermined position according to the plan, and the time for war is coming.
Lin Haichao raised his hand again and looked at his watch, then looked at Guo Yu who was standing in front of the command platform and said, "Your Majesty, when the time comes, do you want to start attacking." ”
"Let's get started." Guo Yu gave the order with certainty.
"I'm Lin Haichao, now I have all of them, I order, start attacking." The prelude to the naval battle really began.
Prior to this, the submarine force had already taken the lead in lurking five nautical miles outside the Japanese port of Yokosuka, and had already passed through the patrol circle of patrol boats, just waiting for the moment of attack.
At this moment, the missile hatches of all warships opened, revealing arrows one after another, "radar to lock on to the target, whether to launch or not." The weapon operator shouted loudly.
"Launch, launch, launch." The commanders of each ship give the order to launch.
At the same time, all 16 warships launched missiles one after another, heading towards more than 20 large battleships and cruisers moored outside the port of Yokosuka.
Guo Yu had previously given an order, don't be afraid of wasting ammunition, drive at full speed, take the destruction of the enemy as the first goal, and don't need to save him money.
The warships of the First World War period are essentially different from the warships of later generations, the warships at this time are generally thick-skinned and large, and modern warships are rarely equipped with large-caliber naval guns, and small-caliber naval guns cannot kill these big guys decisively, so they must be greeted with missiles.
However, Guo Yu also thought about it, as long as this battle is won, it will be a fixed thing, and there will only be a small fight left in the future, and now the torpedoes can be produced by themselves, and there is no problem at all in equipping the troops, although the production of missiles is not yet possible, but there is a complete factory equipment, it is only a matter of time, as long as the technology is improved, it will be able to produce in the future, and after fighting Japan, you can go home and buy a batch of missiles for emergency first.
Sixteen warships fired missiles at the same time, and the huge tail of fire shone in the night sky, like a meteor streaking across the sky, which was spectacular.
And even more spectacular is yet to come, when the missile hits the huge battleship with the deafening explosion and brilliant firelight, the truth is a fireworks feast, gorgeous and colorful.
The submarine force was not to be outdone, eighteen submarines went into battle, torpedoes through the embratoon into the sea, like a swordfish under the water, towards the group of battleships, but after all, the speed of the torpedoes could not be compared with missiles, so that the battleships came out on top and took the lead in attacking the Japanese group of battleships.
But after they were so willing, when the missiles hit cruisers and battleships, and these big guys were still there to breathe, a bigger blow came, and the torpedo mercilessly pierced the belly of the battleship, a barrel was a hole, boom boom, the battleship was blown open from the middle, and it was hit hard again.
One, two, ten, there were very few battleships that were not taken care of, and as for the lucky ones, it was because their brother battleships blocked the torpedo route for them and sacrificed their lives.
Today is Disaster Day, the Day of Disaster for the Japanese fleet.
Oki Kumaji felt that his ears were no longer perceptual, because a missile exploded on the battleship he was on just now, he was lucky not to be killed, but the huge shock wave still made his eardrum completely perforated, as for whether it can grow well in the future, it can only depend on luck.
Originally, he thought that he was very lucky, he escaped half a year ago, and he was able to return to the navy, board his favorite warship, and fight for the empire, but now the scene from half a year ago has reappeared, which makes Oki Kumaji feel that the end of the world is coming again.
Half a year ago, he served on the battleship Iwate, yes, the Iwate of the Japanese Second Fleet, the Iwate was finally asked to surrender, but the captain chose to refuse, at that time many crew members jumped into the sea to survive, Oki Kumaji was one of them, he still remembers that he was holding a lifebuoy, and after swimming a few hundred meters, he saw a huge cannonball with a flaming tail hit the Iwate, and the Iwate sank in the explosion of that shell.
At that time, the huge shock wave lifted him far away, fortunately there was a lifebuoy, otherwise he would have been stunned by the stirred seawater.
Fortunately, it was summer, the sea was not so cold, and he had a chance to survive, and after struggling for several hours, Oki Kumaji was able to climb to the shore, and then ran to the Japanese consulate in Shanghai, where he was later sent back to China along with the other surviving naval soldiers.
He was already a deputy gunner on the Iwate, but after losing his battleship and being rearranged, he could only become an ordinary gunner and was assigned to serve on the battleship Kashima of the Third Fleet.
The Third Fleet of the Empire was only reconstituted last year, so the equipment is not too substantial, it is still in the run-in period, and I still have a chance, as long as I work hard, I believe there will be a chance to be a squad leader again.
Now the fleet is in the renovation stage, as a gunner he has very little work, as long as he usually pays attention to the maintenance of naval guns, there is something to help carry some supplies, I heard that there will be a war soon, it seems to be a small indigenous country in the South Seas, Oki Kumaji wanted to laugh when he heard this, is there any powerful country in the South Seas, it seems that this time it is an easy task.
As the lowest soldier, how did he know that the small indigenous country of the South Seas in his mouth was the country that defeated their Second Fleet, if he knew this, he would not be in such a relaxed mood as he is now.
Today, the big wooden bear was arranged to patrol in the second half of the night, he held the rifle on duty, leaned on the railing and looked boredly at the dark night in the depths of the sea, the darkness was so deep, as if he was going to devour people's big mouths, and ate him in one bite.
Oki Kumaji shivered, the winter in Tokyo Bay is still very cold, he took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and searched for a match on his body, but he didn't find it for a long time, he thought to himself, it won't be lost in the dormitory, it's really awkward to have smoke and no fire, if only there was a fire.
As he was thinking about it, he saw a large spot of light lit up in the distance, and then the point of light became brighter and brighter, and he quickly thought about his side, is this a meteor, how can there be so many meteors, this thought just rose in the mind of the big wood bear, and those points of light had already rushed to him.
I saw it clearly, although it was a little vague, but Oki Kumaji definitely saw it clearly, and he would never forget it, it was the Iwate that this guy sank, the cannonball with the flaming tail, and the powerful cannonball.
He instinctively rolled to the deck, and then he heard countless loud noises in his ears, flames in all directions, flames in the sky, and the rattling of steel parts all around, and then, a louder noise, sounded around him, and the Kashima where he was shook violently, and then smoke rose, and it seemed that the Kashima was also attacked.
Oki Kumaji was shocked to his eardrum in the explosion of this missile that attacked the Kashima, and now he can't hear anything, he looks up, and only sees that the sky has turned red, he has experienced it once, that is the moment when the Second Fleet was attacked, and it was the same at that time, the sky of the entire harbor turned red, which was reflected by the fire of the battleship.
His mind was confused, and he could only be like a fish that was about to suffocate when he came ashore, opening his mouth wide and gasping for breath, hoping that this moment could pass as far as possible and end this hellish feeling.
It wasn't long, maybe a minute, or even less, and the explosion sounded again, and Oki Kumaji tried to turn his neck so that he could see the situation outside, and the Akashi was finished.
The battleship Akashi jumped up, as an old naval soldier, he knew that the Akashi was hit by a torpedo, and when the Akashi fell, there was a huge splash, and the sea sprayed, splashing the face of the big wooden bear, and wetting all his clothes, but the cold sea water made the big wooden bear two feel a little more energetic.
The Kashima was lucky, because the Akashi was moored on the outside of the Kashima, which just blocked the torpedo's route, allowing the Kashima to avoid the torpedo's destruction, but he himself was directly scattered.
He stood up with his strength on the railing, looking at the scene around him, where was the Yokosuka military port he knew, and it was now a sea of fire and hell.
Most of the battleships around are on fire and burning, and they are all the main warships of those empires, the Akashi is already sinking, the Akashi is the closest to the Kashima where he is, the distance between the two battleships is only a few tens of meters, the tall pole of the Akashi has been broken, and only the tail of the ship is still supporting and refusing to go into the water, but it is estimated that it will not last a few seconds.
In the distance, Oki Xiongji couldn't see the situation clearly, he could only see firelight everywhere, and from time to time there were one or two explosions, and it was estimated that the ammunition compartment of a ship had been detonated, causing a chain reaction.
At this time, blood flowed from the corners of his eyes on Da Mu Xiongji's face, and the blood in his two ears was still flowing out, but he couldn't care about it now, and there was only one thought in his mind, that is, to run away.
He is also experienced, he knows that this is definitely the mysterious fleet that defeated the second fleet, the last time it was like this, there was no trace of the enemy's warships at all, they were all wiped out, and his own fleet had no chance to fight back. R1152
