Chapter 748 Sasebo Naval Base
Qinhuangdao Shipyard is also speeding up the construction of missile destroyers. The six shipbuilding channels of Qinhuangdao Shipyard are busy, and six "Zhao Yun-class" missile destroyers are speeding up the construction.
At the same time, two newly built ship channels at Qinhuangdao Shipyard are close to completion. The newly designed 1,500-ton missile frigate will start construction here. Each ship channel can accommodate the construction of two or three missile frigates at the same time.
The main task of Qinhuangdao Shipyard is to build missile destroyers and missile frigates.
After Zhang Yunfei returned from inspection, he focused on fighting against Japan. At present, the troops landing in Japan have reached four armies. In the next stage, the two armies gathered in Shanghai will also board the ship and set off to prepare for landing on Sasebo on the northwest coast of Kyushu Island, Japan.
Japan's important port, Sasebo Military Port, fell into Zhang Yunfei's eyes. Zhang Yunfei had ordered the 6th and 11th armies to march towards Sasebo, with the mission to occupy Sasebo Military Port.
The 6th Army fighting in Japan, the 11th Army is attacking westward. The two armies have successfully attacked and have completely occupied Kumamoto Prefecture in Japan in the past few days. At present, these two armies are heading towards the important military port of Japan, Sasebo Port, in accordance with Zhang Yunfei's order.
The Port of Sasebo belongs to the port of Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan and is an important naval base of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet. According to the reconnaissance of the reconnaissance aircraft, some small Japanese Navy warships were docked in the harbor.
Of course, the Japanese's large warships, such as battleships, cruisers, etc., were fighting fiercely with the US military in the Pacific and did not dock at the Sasebo Naval Base.
Sasebo Port is located on the northwest coast of Kyushu Island. It is a key traffic jam between the Yellow Sea and Japan, and it chokes the throat of the Korean Strait. It has historically been Japan's advance base to the Asian continent, and its strategic location is very important.
Sasebo Bay has a long and deep water, making it a natural harbor.
Sasebo was originally a deserted village. Meiji was originally a military base. In 1886, the naval garrison was established and later developed into a military port. In 1902, the city was established. During the Japanese war of aggression against China and World War II, it was an important base for Japan's foreign expansion.
The Bay of Sasebo is 10 kilometers deep into the land. The bay mouth is 800 meters wide, the water area is 39.6 square kilometers, and the water depth is 10 to 30 meters. Surrounded by mountains, the islands inside and outside the bay are scattered, making it a natural harbor where ships gather invisibly.
Zhang Yunfei has long been targeted by such an important good harbor, and there was no chance before. Now, with the four major armies fighting in Japan, everything goes well and the opportunity comes.
June 15.
Today is a rare and good weather. At Sasebo Naval Base, many Japanese devils are basking in the sun. Today, the entire Sasebo Military Port seems relatively empty. There are not many warships in the huge military port, and all Japanese warships have gone to the Pacific battlefield.
There are only a few small warships in the entire military port. In addition, there are some large supply ships and transport ships of the Japanese. The entire military port looks even more empty.
Although there are not many warships parked in the entire Sasebo Naval Base, there are quite a few Japanese, including at least tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers. These troops include Japanese guards, air defense units, and some service personnel responsible for fleet supplies.
The entire Sasebo Naval Base includes the Sasebo Military Port, the Sasebo Shipbuilding Base, etc. The Sasebo Naval Base is not only one of Japan's traditional shipbuilding bases, but also one of the military ports of the old Japanese navy.
The base has a water area of more than 40 million square meters, with more than 90 ships, 5 shipyards and 4 docks, and can repair and build large ships.
The entire naval base was filled with a scattered atmosphere. The main force of the Japanese wing fleet had left here. The only ones who stayed here were some second-rate troops of the Japanese navy. They had poor combat and low morale.
The Japanese Navy's retreating step by step, and the Japanese Navy's "Yamato" battleship was sunk by the Chinese fleet not long ago, which was a big blow to the Japanese Navy. In addition, what's worse is that a large number of troops of the Chinese team have landed on Japan's mainland, and many Japanese devils seemed to see the end of Japan.
If the Japanese Emperor had not ordered the entire Japan to continue to resist, many Japanese might have probably put down their weapons and surrendered, and many Japanese had lost their will to resist.
A radar soldier at Sasebo Naval Base was staring at his radar listlessly. The Japanese radar is an air-to-air radar with a radar wavelength of 1.5 meters, with a power of 25-30 kilowatts, and can detect aircraft groups at 120 kilometers and stand-alone aircraft at 70 kilometers. The angle error is large.
Such radars are basically unreliable, but even such radars are not equipped with many such radars. Even the Japanese "Yamato" battleships are not equipped with such radars.
During this period, the radar has been normal and no plane of the C-Team was found. The Japanese radar soldiers were also absent-minded and their morale was low.
Suddenly, the radar sounded the "Drip, drip" alarm. The Japanese radar soldiers shuddered and immediately stared at the radar tightly. The Japanese discovered that about eighty or ninety kilometers away from him, a small group of aircraft was flying towards their naval base.
Is it my own plane?
The Japanese radar soldiers were a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, they reported the situation to a Japanese major. After verification, the Japanese major found that this was not his own plane, but an enemy plane.
Suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded from the entire Sasebo Naval Base, and the Japanese suddenly became turbulent, and many Japanese began to prepare for air defense.
There are three main types of air defense weapons at the Japanese Navy Base, one is an anti-aircraft machine gun, one is a 25mm anti-aircraft machine gun, and the other is a 127mm caliber anti-aircraft gun.
The Type 96 60-diameter 25mm caliber anti-aircraft gun is equipped with 48 doors and 16 triple-mounted units, all with anti-shields. The pitch angle of the gun is +90 degrees - (-)10 degrees. The initial velocity of the gun is 900 meters/sec, the maximum range is 6,800 meters, the maximum firing height is 5,000 meters, and the rate of firing is 220 rounds/min.
The Type 89 40-diameter 127mm caliber anti-aircraft gun, the entire Sasebo Naval Base is equipped with 24 units and 12 double-seats, all with anti-shields. The pitch angle of the gun is +90 degrees - (-)8 degrees, the initial velocity of the gun is 725 meters/sec, the maximum range is 14,800 meters, the maximum shooting height is 9,400 meters, the rate of fire is 14 rounds/min, and the life of the body tube is 800-1,500 rounds.
The entire Sasebo Naval Base has relatively strong air defense power. There are a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns in low-altitude defense, and there are many 25mm caliber anti-aircraft guns and 127mm caliber anti-aircraft guns in high-altitude defense.
The radar showed a small group of aircraft, about twenty aircraft, and it was necessary to find out the specific appearance of a few aircraft. The radar accuracy of the little ones was not enough and could not be clarified. It would be possible to wait until these aircraft flew nearly dozens of kilometers.
Many Japanese devils began to prepare for air defense. Japanese anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft cannons pointed at the sky together. After a brief panic, Japanese devils finally calmed down, especially some Japanese devils who saw their large number of anti-aircraft cannons and gradually gained confidence.
Some Japanese officers also seemed full of confidence. The other party came over with only a small group of aircraft, and these Japanese officers were confident of shooting down these aircraft.
"Grand Colonel! This time it must be a Chinese team plane. I just don't know why the Chinese team's plane came to our naval base with such a little plane?"
The Japanese devils laughed and said happily: "It must be that these planes from the ** team lost their direction and crashed into our naval base."
In this era, it is common for aircraft to lose their direction, especially without radar navigation, it is even more normal to lose their direction. The Japanese colonel also thought that these aircraft were lost and flew towards their base by mistake.
Around the surroundings, several Japanese officers also burst into laughter. Unexpectedly, there was such a good thing, and the plane came to the door with voluntarily.
Some ordinary Japanese devils were originally in a low morale. I heard that these planes were delivered to them. These Japanese devils also wiped out their previous decadence and immediately became energetic.
The Japanese's air defense weapons were facing the sky. The Japanese stared at the sky with their eyes fixed on them, waiting for the planes to come to their doors. The Japanese planned to shoot down all of these planes.
As time passed by minute by minute, these dozen planes finally came over and appeared in the sight of the Japanese. These were 16 "Super Air Fortress" bombers.
This "Super Air Fortress" bomber group was not lost. This time, everyone came to bomb the Japanese Sasebo Naval Base.
The Japanese also saw planes in the sky, but these planes flew very high. Seeing this, many Japanese officers picked up their telescopes and saw it a little clearer through the telescope. Through the telescope, the Japanese discovered that these planes were huge bombers.
Suddenly, many Japanese officers felt strongly uneasy. These Japanese officers knew that they were afraid that these planes would not have lost their direction and hit the sky above their naval bases, and that these planes would come to bomb their naval bases specifically.
"Baga! It's really the plane of the Chinese team!"
The Japanese colonel shouted uneasyly. The Japanese colonel stared at the planes in the sky. At such a high altitude, the Japanese colonel knew that even if it was a 40-dial 127mm caliber anti-aircraft gun, it would be afraid that it would not be able to hit these planes.
The "Super Air Fortress" bombers have a very high flight altitude. The flight altitude of these aircraft is 30,000 feet, which is about 10,000 meters. At such an altitude, the Japanese 127mm caliber anti-aircraft guns will definitely not be able to hit.
