ACT535: A strong man breaks his wrist
This battle was actually unfair to IJN from the beginning.
The disadvantage of the Japanese army in front of the Star Fort fleet was very obvious, and this gap between the two sides was not only reflected in the comparison of forces, but also in the tactical use affected by the level of intelligence and technology.
Thanks to Star Castle's perfect battlefield number chain, Zhao Jian's grasp of the battle situation was much higher than that of Yamamoto Fifty-six who was under electronic interference. This kind of one-way intelligence suppression and battlefield transparency make it difficult for any action of the devils to escape Zhao Jian's eyes. The generational difference between the two sides in this field is no less than that between the United States and Iraq in the Gulf War in another time and space.
In this battle plan formulated by Zhao Jian, the first step was to test the special ability of the Musashi with the vanguard fleet, and this step was done very well by Da Lian and others. The second step was to use six capital ships as bait to disrupt the formation of the Japanese fleet through long-range artillery bombardment.
And another big advantage of the Starburg fleet is the "range"! Artillery shells can indeed fly long distances in a gravity-free space environment, but due to the limitations of radar and sighting equipment, there is an effective attack range.
The capital ships on the side of the Star Fort can accurately hit fixed targets and moving targets at a constant speed 400 kilometers away in an open star field without blocking, and this effective distance can be extended if they are assisted by reconnaissance stations or friendly warships and shared through the guò number chain. The Japanese warships, on the other hand, had to use the firing parameters provided by the Guò special observation ship to barely reach an effective attack range of 150 kilometers.
It is a pity that after the battle began, the radio on the side of the combined fleet struck en masse under the interference of electronic warfare aircraft, and even if their observation ships calculated the shooting parameters, they could not convey them to other gunboats in time, and the Japanese ships could only shoot with their own skills.
In this situation of blocked communications, Yamamoto 56 lost control of some of the battleships because of the paralysis of the command system, and many captains discovered that the enemy had only six "lonely" capital ships. Because of impulse, I had the idea of rushing up and eating it.
As a result, just as is happening now, more than 30 Japanese warships got into the crossfire network because of their rash advance. With only the two Titan-class battleships Tarnara and Ruth, their 18 ray cannons can hit a firepower delivery density comparable to that of a fleet when they are at full firepower.
Under the suppression of the strong firepower of the Star Fort fleet, the Japanese battleships that rushed up were quickly surrounded, and except for the Musashi, the other battleships could not parry the lethality of the plasma bombs. What's even worse is that the battleship Musashi is too fierce because of the pig. Accidentally flew out of the domain of the Yamato.
So Zhao Jian was not polite, and decisively let the two griffin wings who were on standby nearby join the battle group, which further accelerated the destruction of these "detached devils".
The battle situation came to this point, and Yamamoto Isoroku, who stayed on the Yamato, knew that unless a miracle could happen, these battleships would be more than lucky. And there are only two roads in front of him, either rush up and fight to the death, or you can only break your wrist as a strong man!
Rushing up to give away someone's head is certainly a hundred, and people die regardless of what happens after death! But Yamamoto Fifty-six, who started a family and held a high position, had long passed the age of love and impulsiveness. He was well aware of the significance of the fleet around him to the entire nation of Japan, and the terrible consequences of losing it.
Just when Yamamoto felt a dilemma, the encircled Tenryu suddenly sent intermittent light words to the rear, and the observers quickly interpreted the message of the light language to the officers on the bridge.
"Don't ...... Whatever we ...... Yes, it's Major General Inoue! ”
"Cheng Meijun!?"
Leng Buding heard that his "good friend" for many years was also in front. Yamamoto remembered that Inoue Narumi, as the commander of the Fourth Fleet, also participated in this operation, and his ship was the Tenryu, the oldest light cruiser in the Japanese army's active forces.
Yamamoto didn't plan to let Inoue Narumi come with him at first. But the other side went to the front line with his Fourth Fleet on the grounds that "you can't leave me as a bare-bones commander".
Originally, with the other party's steady character, the two ships of Tenryu and Tatsuda should not be impulsive with the Musashi. But in the foggy chaos that preceded it. The Tenryu collided with friendly forces, and Inoue Narumi was hit in the forehead by a hard object flying from nowhere, and passed out on the spot. By the time he woke up again, the two ships of Tianlong and Longtian were already on the verge of collapse.
Inoue Narumi, who understood what was happening, did not have time to scold the captain Kotaro Goto, and hurriedly ordered the sailors to signal to the Yamato in the rear, telling them not to come to the rescue.
Under the dissuasion of his old comrades-in-arms, Yamamoto Isoroku was not as reckless as Yamaguchi Tawen, and the other party finally chose to give up the rescue in despair and ordered the fleet gathered around the Yamato to retreat.
Yamamoto knew what would happen to him when he returned to his homeland, but instead of personal honor and disgrace, Yamamoto chose to leave the necessary strength for his country. And his side began to retreat as soon as he ordered it, and Zhao Jian also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Count you as acquaintances...... Inform the fleet and concentrate on annihilating the remnants of the enemy in the encirclement network! ”
"Admiral, what about the retreating Japanese fleet?"
"Leave them alone, be careful not to chew too much."
Ignoring most of the retreating Japanese troops, Zhao ordered the Star Fort to advance and sent all the reserves at hand. The fruits of this "hunting" are already destined to be a bumper harvest!
Soon the encircled Japanese fleet began to crumble, and some of the heavier ships had given up their resistance, while others had chosen to flee. For these small characters, the Star Fort Fleet, which is concentrating on besieging the Musashi and Mutsu, is too lazy to pursue it.
Seeing this, Musashi took the initiative to "adult beauty" and single-ship assault to attract the attention of the opponent in order to provide cover for the retreat of other friendly forces. With her efforts, there were really two or three kittens who took advantage of the chaos to fight their way out of the encirclement, but most of them became turtles in the urn, and the wreckage of Japanese warships was everywhere nearby.
As the friendly forces around her sank one after another, the Musashi, which had endured hundreds of shells of various calibers, was also on the verge of limit, and the hull was covered with large and small scars. These are all traces left after exceeding the limit of reduction, and there are dozens of them in total.
But the huge tonnage of the Musashi is there after all, and this super battleship that the Japanese Navy is proud of can still continue to fight, and the tenacity of the other party is even in awe of the female hooligans of the Star Castle as opponents, they have never fought such a sturdy and durable sandbag!
Seeing that there was only one Musashi left among the enemy ships that were still resisting, and that the capital ships of their own side had consumed more than half of the main gun ammunition, Zhao Zhuxin said that no matter how much grinding and grinding blood was not a problem.
In order to give the other party a real "fatal wound", Zhao took off a reinforced aviation wing from the star fort, with a total of as many as 60 griffin fighters, all of which were loaded with erosion torpedoes.
If this can't kill a Musashi, then Zhao Jian really wants to kneel for the other party! (To be continued......)
