Chapter 461: Aftermath of Victory
PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "Steel Hammer and Copper Plate", and ask for recommendation votes ^_^ again
The rate of fire of the "Skynet" anti-aircraft cannon far exceeded the imagination of people in this era, and the Japanese pilot who was in the front of the plane did not even have time to let out a scream, and was torn to pieces by at least 100 25mm shells that hit the fuselage along with his dive bomber
"This cannon is really good, who is the one who dies, since I entered this artillery squad, I haven't seen that devil plane can fly back after being targeted by it. Even this shell is too fast to use, a shuttle is 300 rounds, and the reserve ammunition is only enough to fight three times (the ammunition depot of the warship naturally has reserves, but the artillery squad only has 900 shells available at hand, after all, if there are too many piles, not to mention that the threat of martyrdom will increase exponentially, there must be a place on the gun mount of the "Skynet". ", sighed the old squad leader of this artillery squad who was not very old but had already experienced a hundred battles.
"This kind of artillery was originally mainly used to deter the enemy, don't you see that the devil is frightened?" , a recruit with a high degree of Chinese seized the time to show off. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw an enemy plane dragging billowing smoke from its tail actually crashed into the Zhiyuan
The artillery squad hurriedly manipulated this "Skynet" to fire fiercely at it, directly hitting it into a volley and exploding, and the high school student breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time did not forget to add, "There is also a role, which is to solve these targets that can pose a deadly threat to warships"
It's not that the devil pilot is tired of carrying out suicide attacks, but the air defense capabilities of the two ships are too strong. As a result, many devils were desperate, so they reluctantly chose this extreme approach. However, strictly speaking, the Japanese army's failure to achieve victory has a lot to do with its own problems, since the first time to abandon the torpedo bombers on the Shijie, the Japanese Navy bombers only attack high-altitude horizontal bombing and low-altitude dive bombing, and the horizontal bombing method, because the devil pilots are almost perverted in the pursuit of bombing accuracy, so the bomb altitude is often lowered to about 2000 meters, instead of the usual 3000 meters or even 4000 meters, Although an 800-kilogram heavy semi-armor-piercing aerial bomb was enough to penetrate the horizontal armor of any kind of warship except for the new battleship, even if dropped at an altitude of 2,000 meters, the probability of the bomber itself being hit by enemy ship anti-aircraft fire inevitably increased at least several times. Not to mention large-caliber anti-aircraft guns. Even small-caliber rapid-fire guns (except for the "Phalanx") can be obtained (PS: The reason why the Pearl Harbor incident was able to achieve such great results was that, in addition to the factor of sneak attack, most of the battleships in the harbor were old, and the anti-aircraft weapons on the ships, especially the small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, were not equipped enough, and the thickness of the horizontal armor was insufficient. Again, it is a factor that cannot be ignored. ); At the same time, it is the same as the pursuit of bomb delivery accuracy. The devil's bomber pilots will try to keep flying at level before dropping bombs to reduce errors. However, this also increased the probability that Japanese bombers would be hit by enemy anti-aircraft fire
As for dive bombing, it is much more flexible than horizontal bombing, but the problem is that the Japanese dive bombers generally have a small bomb load. Whether it is the Mitsubishi 97 light bomber, the Kawasaki 98 light bomber of the Army Airlines, or the 99 carrier-based bomber newly equipped by the Navy, the bomb load is only 400-450 kilograms, and the bomb mounted on the belly weighs only 250 kilograms. Objectively speaking, although the power of the 250-kilogram bomb is slightly insufficient, it is barely enough to deal with heavy cruiser-class warships, but the problem is
After the war, Ye Fei said with emotion, "The old military commander (Hu Weidong) was too accurate about the temperament of the little devil, he knew that the devil would definitely concentrate on bombing the turret and other vital parts, and wanted to sink our warship at once, so the shipyard specially strengthened the armor in these positions (not only simply thickened, but also replaced with the latest double-sided hardened armor steel, so that the defense of the vital parts of the two ships even exceeded that of the King Kong-class battleships), and the little devil really threw bombs at these positions." But thanks to the devil's bomb is too accurate, if you throw it off and hit it in other positions, it may be more troublesome."
In this way, the contingent suffered less than 100 casualties (of which 29 were killed and 11 were seriously disabled, and the proportion of permanent attrition was relatively high due to the relatively poor medical conditions on board). Shooting down and damaging more than 60 enemy planes, completely bankrupting the desperate frenzied attack of Taiwan's Japanese air force, with their brilliant record of breaking diplomatic relations of nearly 300,000 tons and two warships that had not been substantially damaged, they escaped the tracking of Japanese reconnaissance planes and went further south. But to Hu Weidong's surprise, the Japanese authorities actually sent people to the liberated areas to sue for peace at this time, and perhaps they finally realized that the war of aggression against China was destined to end in a shameful defeat, right?
However, although the Japanese authorities realized that the Northeast was difficult to protect, they still hoped that they could continue to retain the "Kanto Prefecture" of the University of Luda and enjoy the privileges in the Northeast, at least in the South Manchurian region, after the Russo-Japanese War and before the September 18 Incident. The Red Party, on the other hand, demanded that Japan completely withdraw from China's territory and return the surrounding islands such as Taiwan, Penghu, and Diaoyu Dao, which had been occupied for many years (this was specifically requested by Hu Weidong to be added, and many people did not know about this island at the time), and only agreed to make a certain degree of concession on the three issues of Korean independence, the list of war criminals, and war reparations. The differences between the two sides are so serious that the negotiations will undoubtedly not be able to continue, and both sides of the negotiations have long been mentally prepared for this, but the United States and Germany, which hope that peace between China and Japan will be restored to the benefit of their own countries, will be even more disappointed.
Among them, the United States hopes to prevent Red China from completely defeating Japan, so as to obtain Japan's industrial and technological liliang to become stronger, and at the same time to force the Japanese authorities to sell more rights and interests to the United States, especially those Pacific islands that the United States is very interested in, through mediation
Germany hopes to step on the two ships again, after all, China's role in the Soviet Union is huge, but Japan's strong navy also makes it difficult for the Germans to give up, although because of the relationship between Jishu and economic cooperation, Germany has chosen to favor the Chinese side, but the cooperation will eventually end one day, and the subtle attitude of the Germans can be seen from their insistence on cooperating with Japan on carrier-based aircraft in spite of China's opposition.
However, even Hu Weidong had to admit that without the help of the Japanese, it would be difficult for the groundless German Navy to change the land-based Stuka dive bomber into a carrier-based version with acceptable performance before the outbreak of the European War, but after the Japanese Navy obtained the Stuka that can carry 1.8 tons of aerial bombs and the bomb load is completely different from that of the dive bomber (the Japanese Navy hopes to solve the problems exposed by the naval bomber force in the Battle of the Bass Strait), it will undoubtedly pose a fatal threat to the small surface ships of the Chinese Navy ( To be continued ......)
