ACT505: Tokyo air strike
Intimidated by the obscenity of Zhao Jian, the ghost animal admiral, Hama Feng and Isokaze, who had been frightened to the point of turning pale, closed their mouths very wisely, and then obediently went to receive the two hulls they didn't like.
As for Zhao Jian, the new master, the two of them had already learned something about the affair between the other party and the big sisters of the capital ship. In this place where there is no gendarme, the Admiral is a complete leader in the entire "Town Guard's Mansion".
Whether it's Hamafeng with a pair of good breasts or Isofeng with a pair of good legs, the situation here is not good in every sense. Coupled with the fact that their appearance is not like that of ordinary destroyers, the possibility of Zhao Jian attacking them is even higher.
However, after the two of them drove the hull out and slipped around, the feel of this new ship was not a little better than that of the Yang Yan class. Not to mention the weapon configuration, the third-generation destroyer naval gun opened by Tor, in addition to the caliber and multiplier diameter have not changed, the power, shooting, and accuracy have been greatly improved.
During the gun test, Hamafeng and Isokaze were able to achieve the firepower projection density of a destroyer detachment with only a single ship's full fire. With this kind of frenzied shooting, it should not be difficult to overturn a Japanese Nagara-class light cruiser head-on.
After the testing of the new destroyer, the two hulls were assigned to Hamafeng and Isokaze, and then incorporated into the Star Fort guerrilla fleet, where they were assigned to the two battle patrol sisters, King Kong and Onihime.
It is worth mentioning that when selecting their respective wingmen, King Kong took the lead to take Isokaze, and the speed of the shot did not even give Onihime much time to react. And Zhao Jian next to him only took a glance to understand the reason why King Kong didn't pick Binfeng, revealing a snickering expression on his face.
In the third week after the end of the Japanese attack on Star Fort, Zhao sent an offensive force composed of 12 combat ships to attack several outpost strongholds placed by the Japanese near the No. 2 Star Gate. Since it had been decided to share part of the pressure on the US military, Zhao Jian planned to take advantage of the vacuum period when the Japanese main fleet retreated for rest and recuperation, and took the initiative to attack and pull a wave of hatred.
These asteroid strongholds are generally weak because they are only on alert duty, and are usually garrisoned by two patrol gunboats and a small squad of infantry. The attacking fleet completely wiped out all the Japanese strongholds in this area in only one day, which made the Japanese feel very angry when they learned about it.
But soon, another big event that shook the whole of Japan was born in Tokyo!
Since Admiral Nimitz took over the Pacific Fleet, it has been convenient to put the importance of "paying tribute to Japan" in front of the defense of the homeland. The elites of the U.S. Navy 6 and the U.S. Navy also gathered together to make plans for the operation.
The initial plan was to organize a fleet of fast fleets to raid Europa and carry out artillery bombardments on the Japanese mainland in low-earth orbit. However, Colonel Doolittle, who came from the 6th Air Force, believed that this kind of "child throwing stones across the fence" attack alone was not enough to boost the morale of the people.
They should respond to the undeclared war of the Japanese in a more "gentlemanly" way.
After some final deliberations, Nimitz agreed to Doolittle's almost crazy idea of using a fleet of bombers to break into Titan's atmosphere in order to bomb Tokyo with greater precision!
For this retaliatory action, the U.S. military prepared 16 B-25 medium bombers and specially made a batch of 1O-ton doppelganger chips, and New York City even had a city-wide power outage for a day.
Originally, out of prudence, the US military was going to use a large cargo ship as a bomber carrier, after all, it is much easier to release aircraft in a space environment than in the atmosphere, and it is not bad to have a deck or not.
But soon the military realized that there was a distance limit between the bomber's crystals and the mothership, which had to be on standby in low-earth orbit during Doolittle's air raid on Tokyo. If it was discovered by the Japanese fleet at this time, the survivability of the freighter would not be enough at all. The bombers were assigned to the USS Hornet, which was assigned the crucial role of carrier.
On April 18, the day the retaliation began, the Hornet, under the protection of the Second Sister Enterprise, passed through the Second Star Gate to the Shattered Star Zone. But the expected battle didn't happen, because just a few days earlier, Starfort's fleet had cleared the Japanese strongholds in the area.
As if there is providence in the dark, Zhao Jian's unintentional insertion of willows has done the US military a great favor!
The vengeful fleet then arrived in front of the gate of Titan without alarming the Japanese army. The 16 B-25s were taken advantage of by the Hornet, like paratroopers dropped by transport planes, one by one, and let the planes run their engines in mid-air. The bombers then plunged headlong into the atmosphere and flew towards the unsuspecting city of Second Tokyo.
The Japanese base camp, which thought that it had defeated half of the combat strength of the US Navy, did not expect that the other side would give it to him. When the 16 bombers flew over Tokyo, the vast majority of civilians on the ground thought it was their own planes celebrating something.
Only a small number of people who know the goods can see that it is an American plane and exclaim loudly about it. But no one around simply wanted to believe the "nonsense" they were talking about, until these bombers began to drop bombs!
To put it bluntly, the bomb load of 16 medium bombers was not much, and although Colonel Doolittle led the formation to drop bombs on important industrial areas, only a small part of them were destroyed. But in a strategic sense, the crazy feat of Doolittle Squadron was enough to inject a boost into the low morale of the United States.
But alas, the fate of these bombers after the bomb dropping was not as lucky as they were in another time and space. Before they could return home, the remaining Japanese fleet spotted the Hornet hovering in low-earth orbit.
In order to preserve the more important aircraft carrier, Colonel Doolittle resolutely gave up the return voyage, leaving the Hornet alone and leaving first. The bomber formation then flew to downtown Tokyo, and Doolittle was going to drive the bomber to the Japanese emperor's house for a meal. But their actions were quickly noticed by the Japanese army, and before they could fly to the palace, they were defeated by the swarming Zero. Doolittle's plane finally crashed into a river just 4oo meters away from the palace, and Doolittle himself was uncertain!
This crazy suicide attack was like a resounding slap in the face, and all the Japanese were deafened. The commander of the Navy, Isoroku Yamamoto, personally pleaded guilty to the emperor for this, and took a hand of coercion to prepare for seppuku. Fortunately, Hideki Tojo understood that now was not the time to exclude dissidents, so he rarely said a few kind words for Yamamoto in front of Hirohito, and finally saved the other party's life.
However, as the price of making up for the merits, the Navy must remove every obstacle in the way of advance at any cost before the 6th Army attacks the US mainland in June! r1152
