368. The Battle of the Entrance
This afternoon's meeting, and Mu Feng's opinion in the evening, determined the direction of action in the future.
During the previous visit, the two battleships on which the Liaoning group rode had not been flagged.
After today's meeting, the 1 August Navy flag was hung as a matter of course.
Everyone will unify their voices, and if they communicate with other Admiralty ships in the future, they will no longer use the name of the Command Alliance, and will directly call it the Chinese Navy Command.
The fleet continued to sail westward.
At night, I passed through a medium-sized Russian Admiral's Palace, and the next morning, I entered the confines of a large Japanese Admiral's Office called "Izumo".
The Izumo Admiral's Mansion is also the last large Admiral's Mansion at the western end of Kamitsuki Island.
As the fleet gradually approached the military port where the Izumo Admiral's Mansion was stationed, and when there were about 100 kilometers left, several shipwives on the ship habitually connected to the air police 3000 in the sky and observed the situation of the port.
Everyone was somewhat surprised to find that within 60 kilometers of the Izumo Naval Port, several groups of fighters and reconnaissance planes were patrolling back and forth, and there were warships patrolling within a range of about 20 kilometers above the water.
All ships entering and leaving the port are stopped at a distance of 20 kilometers for a check.
Looking at this scene, Nanchang couldn't help but squint his eyes and muttered to himself:
"The vigilance of this Admiral's Mansion is quite high, is it because it is close to the entrance of the bay......
Liaoning nodded:
"Probably, if there were a few deep seas breaking into the bay, they would be vulnerable here."
Several others nodded, not thinking much about it, as the fleet continued westward.
The whole day was spent on the voyage, and when it was dark, the fleets of Shenzhen, Liaoning, and Qingyu were still 600 kilometers from the western entrance to the bay.
Everyone knows that tomorrow morning, we will have to make contact with the local ship mother who is fighting at the entrance.
In other words, the integration plan for the Bimoon Islands will officially start tomorrow morning.
Everybody put it together again, and now they have the relevant information.
In contrast to the eastern entrance of the bay, the western entrance of the bay is the closest direction to which the ocean currents come from, and is the most resource-rich place.
It is also a relatively dangerous place, the deep sea will follow the ocean current, and once the deep sea enters, the military port here will be the first to suffer.
A few people from Liaoning and Nanchang briefly discussed the specific actions for tomorrow, had dinner in the cabin, and then let the ship's mother change shifts.
The two battleships that sailed before returned to their state to replenish, and then rested with everyone.
At night, the fleet, sailing on duty, slowed down a little, moving at a speed of 20 knots.
The next morning, the sky was dark, and the fleet was still 150 kilometers from the entrance.
The resting shipwives all got up, replenished, and then the shipwrecks who sailed on the hull changed shifts again to rest.
Everyone once again confirmed the surrounding situation through the AWACS aircraft, and a small aircraft carrier was parked on the sea 60 kilometers ahead, which seemed to be the French Beyan.
On the sea 100 kilometers ahead, a stubby battleship was parked, which was supposed to be Nevada.
On the sea 130 kilometers ahead, there are four hulled cruisers, divided into two teams, each with four destroyers, patrolling back and forth.
Small aircraft carriers, battleships, and cruisers, there are also some humanoid ship wives who are ready to enter battle at any time.
150 kilometres further away is the ocean beyond the bay, where a few deep seas are scattered around, wandering aimlessly.
Because the ocean currents flow towards the entrance of the bay, these scattered deep seas can easily break into the bay.
Not long after everyone stared at it, there were 8 ordinary deep-sea birds, because they had no control direction, and drifted towards the entrance of the bay with the current.
The ordinary deep sea in the state of a humanoid ship can be said to be a very small target in the vast sea.
The two cruiser fleets patrolling in front of them did not finally spot them until they were about 15 kilometers away, and then immediately raised the alarm.
The hull of the ship's mother.,The deep sea of the ship's mother's state.,And it also has a numerical advantage.,Basically, it can be guaranteed to be suppressed.,There shouldn't be any danger.。
But the entire defensive fleet immediately tensed up, and Béarn, who was behind, began to fly planes, and Nevada guns began to be loaded.
The shipwives on their hulls also jumped into the water in batches, and after pulling away from each other, they spread their hulls on the sea, all of them looking like they were facing a great enemy.
The four cruisers of the patrol fleet, lined up one after another on the sea, with all their guns facing the side side, began to test fire after observation.
The eight destroyers continued to rush forward, 15 kilometers was still a bit far for them, and they needed to close the distance before they could fire.
There is also an advantage to the state of the ship, that is, the target is small and very flexible.
In the first round of test firing of the four hulled cruisers, more than a dozen shells all missed, stirring up a column of water on the sea surface, but the deep sea was not affected at all.
But it doesn't matter, this is just a test launch, after observing the landing point and the distance to the target, the cruiser ship mother calculated, adjusted the shooting elements, and immediately started the second round of shooting.
This round of firing, although still missed, several shells were very close to the deep sea, and the huge waves of shells falling into the water overturned the two deep-sea destroyers.
After observing the landing point of the shells, confirming that the firing parameters were fine, several cruisers opened fire with all their might.
The large-caliber main guns of the Navy during World War II had a relatively impressive hit rate.
During the artillery battle, as long as the range of the shell landing point can be enveloped in the attack target, it means that the parameters of the main gun are fine.
Whether you can get a hit or not is a simple matter of probability.
After a few rounds of all-out firing, a cruiser burst out, and three 203-mm shells hit the two deep seas that were very close to each other.
The shell exploded in the water, and the two deep seas were paralyzed on the spot.
At the same time, the destroyers, rushing in the front row, also entered the ideal firing distance.
Eight destroyers, more than sixty 127-mm guns, after test firing correction, soon entered the stage of effective firing, covered by a large density of firepower, and soon achieved hits.
The rest of the deep sea has also begun to fight back, but the attack range of the ship mother state is not that far, and the power is relatively small, it is difficult to pose a threat to the defense fleet.
At the same time, Bayarn's carrier-based aircraft also arrived, dropped several aerial bombs at low altitude, and bombed several ships in the deep sea, and the battle entered the stage of annihilation.
After almost half an hour of fighting, all 8 destroyers in the deep sea were destroyed, and two destroyers in the ship's team were hit by the main guns of the deep sea, and received a little minor damage.
At this time, the deep sea was still about 10 kilometers away from the cruiser and had not yet entered the range of the battleship, so Nevada did not have time to open fire.
The destroyers and Bayarn's carrier-based aircraft reported the results of the battle to the cruisers and battleships in the rear.
Many of the shipwives waiting on the hull jumped with cheers.
The shipwives who unfolded their hulls on the sea also breathed a sigh of relief, and returned to the battleships and aircraft carriers one after another.
Liaoning, Shenzhen and other ship mothers, looking at these pictures through early warning aircraft, their expressions are very bland.
Xiao Sixteen swallowed the snack in his mouth and subconsciously muttered:
"It's just five ordinary deep seas, I feel like they're fighting so hard......"
