() In a small building not far from Ryukyu Port, a young man had just come back from outside. It happened to be raining lightly, and his clothes were already soaked, but he didn't seem to care, and his face was relaxed.
se.
After arriving at the window of the small building, he sat down. Here he could see the situation in the Ryukyu Port. When the weather was good, he could clearly see the aircraft carriers docked at the port, with silver-gray paint on them.
Shining under the sun, these huge warships are a symbol of China's majesty. Every time he sees these warships, waves surge in the young man's heart. He hates this powerful navy...
Whenever he remembered that it was this army that almost wiped out the Japanese combined fleet, he was filled with anger. How could these dirty and humble Chinese people deserve to have such a powerful army? How dare they destroy the cause of the Japanese Empire?
!
Greater East Asia can only have a way out under the leadership of Japan. Coexistence and common prosperity is the best choice. Whoever obstructs this magnificent cause is his enemy.
The young man's eyes fell outside the port. In his mind, as long as tonight passed, this place would be in ruins, the aircraft carriers would be sunk, and the Japanese Empire would still dominate East Asia.
There seemed to be a sky-high fire in front of his eyes. In the fire, the despicable Chinese people cried and struggled, and then were mercilessly swallowed up. Thinking of this, a trace of joy appeared in his eyes, but then he discovered something unusual.
.
Today is officially the Qixi Festival of the Chinese lunar calendar, which is also the Qiqiao Festival. According to Chinese custom, this day is a collective holiday. In the evening, most young naval officers will call their girlfriends and take a walk on the beach...
This year, due to the rain, this practice was naturally cancelled. However, there are still a large number of dance halls and clubs in Ryukyu. There will be a lot of people there. It is very lively. It is normal for energetic soldiers to stay up all night.
But today there was no movement.
Thinking of this, the young man suddenly felt as if a basin of cold water was poured over his head. There is only one explanation for this abnormal situation, and that is that the Chinese Navy is not in the port. Or it has entered a state of combat readiness, whether it is
Either situation means that the Chinese seem to have noticed something.
The plan was leaked!
The young man suddenly jumped up from his seat and rushed towards the door desperately. But when he just opened the door, he saw several black guns already pointed at him.
"Mr. Wang Wenbin, or Mr. Hidemi Hashimoto, come with us!"
On this night, a large number of Japanese spies were arrested, and all the intelligence systems that Japan had worked so hard to develop were destroyed. On the surface, it seemed an ordinary night, but this night would determine the fate of two countries in Asia. Who can
To become the master of East Asia, fight here.
There were some people who could not sleep all night in the two capitals of Beijing and Tokyo. Time passed by and finally arrived at dawn. Light appeared on the dark sea surface, and Yamamoto Isoroku commanded the Japanese combined fleet.
We arrived at the sea area about 200 kilometers away from Ryukyu.
His fleet also ended the radio silence and officially issued the attack order. The Zero fighter jets took off quickly on the wide deck. The first wave of Japanese fighter jets took off more than 200, which was larger than the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Bigger and more powerful.
Isoroku Yamamoto watched with hope as Japan's carrier-based aircraft rushed towards Ryukyu, overwhelming the sky. He wanted to become the greatest naval admiral in Japan's history, defeat the weak and the strong, and defeat the two major powers. This
What an honor.
Just when Yamamoto was looking forward to a bright future, more than 130 nautical miles away from the Japanese aircraft carrier formation, China's carrier-based aircraft were also taking off on a similar scale, targeting the Japanese fleet.
Two huge fleets of aircraft were quickly passing over the sea. Japan's carrier-based aircraft flew all the way to Ryukyu unimpeded. At this time, the Chinese Air Force was already in full swing, and the anti-aircraft artillery units on the ground were already ready for battle.
The Japanese carrier-based aircraft hit China's first blocking net head-on.
These Japanese pilots were also shocked. Many of them had participated in the attack on Pearl Harbor. The paranoia of the islanders made them take it for granted that China would be like the United States and neglect to take precautions. They did not expect that China would attack so early.
He made preparations for battle.
However, Japan himself did not take these shore-based aircraft seriously. With their skillful flying skills, they quickly shot down several Chinese aircraft. This line of defense was easily broken through. Until this time, Japan himself had not noticed them.
The sneak attack has been leaked.
Commander Mizuo Fuchida only regarded these planes as normal patrols. He also longed for the miracle of Pearl Harbor. The Japanese planes passed through Ryukyu Island, and Naha Port was right in front of him.
Contrary to Fuchida Mizuo's expectation, no huge Chinese fleet appeared in front of them, and all large ships disappeared. Only a large amount of anti-aircraft firepower greeted them. All firepower networks were carefully calculated. By the time the Japanese aircraft had just arrived,
As soon as they appeared, several of them were hit and caught fire, turning them into aerial lighters.
At this time, a large number of shore-based aircraft also came over. Only now did Mizuo Fuchida realize that he had been fooled. The Chinese fleet had already left the port. Thinking of this, Mizuo Fuchida felt cold all over.
Since the Chinese fleet is not here, where might it appear?
The combined fleet is in danger!
Mitsuo Fuchida almost fell from the sky. His worries were not wrong at all. Just when Japan's carrier-based aircraft sensed the Naha Port, Chinese aircraft also found Japan's combined fleet.
The core of the huge Japanese combined fleet is five aircraft carriers, and there are also escorting cruisers and destroyers. There are more than thirty warships, densely displayed on the sea. In the center of the Japanese fleet, is the huge Yamato.
, on the left and right are the Shinano and Taiho. The three super giant ships are like three mountains, majestic in the waves.
However, no matter how powerful the warship is, in the eyes of the aviation force, it is just a pile of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. The pilots chose the attack angle with great understanding and quickly rushed towards the Japanese aircraft carrier.
At this time, Japan's fleet had also noticed. Yamamoto Isoroku, who had been waiting for news of victory, did not wait for the news of a successful sneak attack. What he waited for was an attack from Chinese aircraft. In an instant, Yamamoto Isoroku knew that Japan
The sneak attack operation has gone bankrupt. Looking at the current situation, it is likely that China has mastered the intelligence in advance, and has also adopted a posture of taking advantage of the situation.
At this moment, Yamamoto felt as if he had fallen into an ice hole. He was shivering all over and had lost the confidence he had in the past. He hurriedly ordered the surveillance aircraft in the air to block it as soon as possible, and at the same time, the other carrier-based aircraft quickly took off to block it.
Carrier-based aircraft from both sides were once again going back and forth on the sea, fighting each other. Planes one after another on the deck of the Japanese aircraft carrier were taking off quickly, preparing to intercept the Chinese carrier-based aircraft attack.
But this is where the problem lies. When a Japanese carrier-based aircraft was taking off from the Yamato aircraft carrier, it hit the island building. The aircraft filled with fuel was like a huge bomb.
, exploded instantly, and a big hole was knocked out of the ship island.
What frightened the Japanese was that there was fuel everywhere, many fires broke out on the warship, and several carrier-based aircraft parked nearby were also facing threats, which made the Japanese immediately panic.
In fact, Japan's very large aircraft carrier has had serious problems since the beginning of its construction. Japan itself is not good at grasping the overall situation. They like to split things into different aspects, then study them separately, and then synthesize the research results.
Come together.
There seems to be nothing wrong with this approach, but due to the lack of overall perspective, problems often arise in the opposite direction when integrating. I personally believe that the combat effectiveness of an aircraft carrier is carrier-based aircraft, so the more carrier-based aircraft, the better the performance
The more advanced it is, the more combat effectiveness it can exert.
Therefore, they built monsters like the Yamato and the Shinano, which carried more than a hundred aircraft. However, they ignored a fatal problem, which was that as the number of carrier-based aircraft increased, the difficulty of command operations increased.
It has also increased exponentially, and the warships are messy and wet, seriously affecting the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier.
Looking at the nuclear-powered aircraft carriers of World War II and even later generations, most of the mature aircraft carriers with strong combat effectiveness have around 70 or 80 carrier-based aircraft, and no more than 100 aircraft at most. The reason is that after a one-sided increase in the number of carrier-based aircraft, it will bring
There are many unexpected problems. For example, the Midway-class aircraft carrier built by the United States historically had too many carrier-based aircraft, which caused a series of problems.
Yamato is having this problem now. It is very difficult to command a large number of carrier-based aircraft. It is very normal for an aircraft to hit the bridge. Just when Japan is about to rescue, the two surrounding aircraft
The plane also exploded, with fire rising instantly and thick black smoke covering the Yamato's deck, making it impossible to take off and land the plane.
After the Chinese pilots saw the Yamato on fire, they were very puzzled. They thought which fighter jet had successfully attacked the Yamato. They also did not expect that it was the Yamato itself that had the problem.
However, the Chinese pilots were no longer polite. They quickly broke through the obstruction of the Japanese aircraft and rushed towards the Yamato. At this time, the overly large Yamato exposed another fatal flaw, that is, the target was too large and it was easy to
It became the target of attack.
The Japanese put all their energy on extinguishing the fire, and did not care about the Chinese aircraft. Six of the slowest torpedo planes easily approached the Yamato and dropped fatal torpedoes.
Six torpedoes attacked the Yamato like a fan. In an instant, several large holes appeared on the side of the Yamato. The dark holes swallowed water crazily. The huge hull of the Yamato tilted rapidly, and the deck
The parked plane slid into the sea.
All members of the Japanese Navy felt a chill to the core. The warship they were proud of was unexpectedly fatally attacked. Everyone was terrified, not only for the fate of this aircraft carrier, but also for their own fate. (To be continued.
