Chapter Ten Fast Fleet

The lack of a powerful army does not mean that the federal army's offensive capabilities are insufficient. In Liu Fu's opinion, the tactic of two armies digging trenches, then hundreds of cannons fighting desperately, and finally relying on the army to attack by force

It's just stupid. It costs money and trouble.

The death is still huge. Since I am a person who has traveled through time and knows the deeper understanding of war in later generations, why do I have to choose this older fighting method? As long as the reality allows, the technology and technology of this era

Manufacturing capacity allows, Liu

Fu will resolutely choose a fighting method more similar to that of later generations, that is, air strikes, air strikes, and air strikes again, from the front line of the battlefield to the enemy's rear, and then weaken the enemy's physical strength and war strength.

, that’s when the Army should take the field

At that time, their mission was to drive armored vehicles and tanks to pick up enemy positions and prisoners one by one, and then use heavy machine guns and tank cannons to pick off the disobedient enemies who were hiding deeper and who had not yet been killed by bombs.

One click, and then the war is over.

After the declaration of war, the first one to take military action was not the South China Sea Federation, but the Japanese Navy. They actually dispatched a medium-sized fleet from Naha Port, consisting of 1 battlecruiser, 2 cruisers, and 5 destroyers.

Taking advantage of the night, I planned to sneak attack the naval base in Keelung.

This fleet chose a day with bad weather and quietly sailed northeast from Amami Island, pretending to be returning to Japan's homeland. Then, after the sun set, under the cover of darkness, it turned due south and sailed in.

Deep in the Pacific Ocean. This trick of the Japanese Navy really deceived the submarines monitored by the Federal Navy nearby. Because the Japanese fleet is composed of high-speed ships, coupled with weather conditions, the submarine that was ultimately tracked

After dark, we lost our target and had to return.

After successfully getting rid of the tracking, this Japanese fast fleet ran at sea for 6 hours and gradually turned to the southwest. It took another 5 hours to reach the east of Ishigaki Island. According to the Japanese Navy's plan, this Japanese fleet

The fleet will turn northwest here. Their ultimate goal is the federal naval port in Keelung. This Japanese fleet intends to

Use a sneak attack to severely damage Keelung Military Port, because in the recent period, the Japanese Navy has received a lot of reports, indicating that it is likely to be used by the Federal Navy as a base to attack Japan. Because there are large-scale attacks here every day

The fleet comes in and out, and is escorted by federal navy warships. This is 100% a fleet transporting various equipment and supplies.

If the raid can be successful, it will not only destroy this important military port of the Federal Navy and disrupt the combat deployment of the Federal Navy, but also boost the morale of our navy and even the whole country, because there have always been some negative arguments in our country.

, those politicians and soldiers who were frightened by the federal navy always accused the Japanese government and military of ignoring their own situation and provoking war without authorization, and even alarmistly said that this would destroy the future of the entire nation of Japan.

r The navy's strategy is very correct, and the tactics of this fast fleet are also very successful. It relied on the cover of weather and darkness to successfully escape the surveillance of federal submarines, and quietly approached Keelung Military Port at the fastest speed. As long as you pay attention

Without getting close to the mine array, you can bombard the port outside the military port.

, although the distance is a bit far, the effect of the bombardment may not be very good, but the federal fleet is likely to fall into chaos due to the sudden bombardment. If the fast fleet is more lucky and hits an oil depot or something, causing a fire, then by

The brightness of the fire and the accuracy of the bombardment will also increase.

But the Japanese Navy had calculated everything and considered all the details. It just didn’t expect that the Federation Navy would have radar, something that shouldn’t exist at this time. When the fast fleet just tried to pass the north side of Ishigaki Island, it was defeated by the Federation Navy.

The navy's roadbed radar station on Bitou Mountain discovered it, and then this

The news was sent to the Keelung Naval Base by electric current. After receiving the early warning, the Keelung Naval Base immediately issued an interception order to the federal submarine force patrolling outside the port. Subsequently, the 10 submarines in Keelung Port also sailed out of the port. According to the radar

instructions to assemble toward the planned interception sea area.

The eight Japanese fast fleets whose whereabouts were exposed did not know that dozens of nautical miles directly in front of them, there was already a group of sea wolves sitting around the dining table, wearing napkins, holding knives and forks, waiting

After their main dish was served, they started to eat. They followed the original plan and took the fastest speed and shortest route to Keelung Port.

Driving at the front of the fleet are two "Shakespeare-class" large destroyers purchased by the Japanese Navy from the United Kingdom. It is a destroyer leader designed by the British Navy. It is equipped with 5 mk1 single-mounted 120mm main guns, 1 of which are 3 inches.

guns, 2 triple-mounted 533mm torpedo launchers, a standard displacement of 1,500 tons, a total power of 40,000 horsepower, and a maximum speed of 38 knots. The two destroyers were named Shimakaze and Hakaze respectively by the Japanese Navy.

Following the destroyer is the "King Kong" battlecruiser, one of the three major battleships of the Japanese Navy. Like its sister ship "Kirishima", it is a "Hood class" purchased from the British Navy.

Battlecruiser, this is a big thing, its standard

It has a quasi-displacement of more than 40,000 tons and is equipped with 8 381mm main guns, 14 102mm secondary guns, 24 40mm bang-bang guns, and 4 533mm torpedo launchers. It used 24 small water tube boilers for the first time, driving Blanco

Tees Steam

Turbine engine, 4-axis propulsion, can run up to 32 knots. In addition to the powerful main gun firepower and high speed comparable to a cruiser, the armor of this level of battle cruiser is also very powerful. Its turret armor is 381mm thick, and its waterline armor

The belt is also 305m

m, in addition, it has specially installed protruding "anti-torpedo compartments" on both sides of the waterline, which not only improves the defense capability against torpedoes, but also increases the buoyancy of the hull. Finally, it also has an aircraft ejection

It is a device that can catapult a seaplane to take off while it is moving.

Let me say a few words here. The "Hood-class" battle cruiser was already a perfectly designed battle cruiser at that time. Its main gun was not inferior to any battleship, but its speed was also

Start throwing the battleship several blocks away,

As a battle cruiser, its firepower and speed were top-notch, but its fate was very bad. The First World War was over after it was built. After serving for nearly 20 years, the twilight old Hood caught up again.

After World War II, although after the modern

It was modernized and modified, but the design at the end of World War I could not be changed, so it was completely defeated in the showdown with the Bismarck, the masterpiece of the younger generation of battleships. It only lasted for 6 minutes before being destroyed by the Bismarck. Some people may say that this

It's the Hood

It was bad luck and happened to be hit in the ammunition depot. But then again, in the naval battle at that time, the huge ships and cannons lined up to bombard each other 10 kilometers apart. That was to find the possibility in the impossible. Luck was that the naval battle at that time was

The biggest negative determinant.

If the "King Kong" is allowed to approach the Keelung Military Port within 15 nautical miles and uses its main gun to fire at the military port, the losses to the Keelung Military Port will be great. The range of the 381mm main gun is about 35 kilometers, on average

It can fire about 2-3 rounds per minute. The eight main guns can project 20 rounds to the target in one minute. This kind of gun can fire

There are two kinds of shells that shoot armor-piercing shells and high-explosive shells. Their length is about 170 centimeters, their waist circumference is 381mm, which is basically the size of an adult, and their weight is 800 kilograms. When these high-explosive shells fall on the ground, they will explode.

A large crater the size of a basketball court and nearly ten meters deep has a damage radius of several hundred meters, and large pieces of debris can penetrate thick wooden boards 1 kilometer away.

Therefore, no matter it is the naval facilities or naval ships of the federal navy, they cannot withstand the raging of this kind of artillery shells. If they are allowed to bombard for an hour, Keelung Port will be in ruins.

But war, especially the modern war model now pursued by the South China Sea Federation Navy, is pursuing and attacking and destroying the enemy beyond the enemy's visual range. There is no competition with you whose artillery has a larger caliber, sufficient power, high accuracy, and firing speed.

Fast, we don't even give you a chance to fire, we have to eliminate you from the distance where you may pose a threat to us. Therefore, the federal navy has not developed in the direction of giant ships and cannons, but has chosen to use aircraft carriers.

The ship is the main one. (To be continued...)
