Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

The Japanese torpedo fleet entered ultra-low altitude flight, preparing to release deadly torpedoes on the opposing warship.At this time, it is impossible for the Chinese fighter jets in the high altitude position to dive and attack them at high speed.Except for the anti-aircraft guns and machine guns on the warships, there is nothing that can stop the enemy planes, and now, the Chinese are actually using the main guns to fight back, which is almost the same as suicide.However, the Chinese navy did not have so many scruples. More and more shells swarmed in, and huge water columns flew up from the already rough sea level. These water columns formed an airtight water wall on the sea.It turns out that this is the unique skill of the Beiyang Fleet to deal with torpedo bombers. "Water curtain shooting" is to use large-caliber artillery to fire on the mine-throwing route of the incoming enemy plane, and engulf the enemy plane by the water column raised from the impact point.

Sure enough, in the face of the ever-rising monstrous waves, the Japanese torpedo planes had to make curved sails on the sea again and again to avoid the rising water column. "Damn it, run away."

At this time, a huge shell fell into the water again.This time his landing point was very precise, just below the two enemy planes in the very center of the fleet.A huge water column swallowed those two unlucky planes in an instant.

The Japanese commander Inoue Chuanizumi felt very angry and immediately ordered his troops to climb quickly to avoid these terrible water jets.However, their trick just hit the trick of the Chinese.Because behind this water wall, there are 150mm and 88mm anti-aircraft guns equipped with advanced fire control systems and dozens of Gatling revolver anti-aircraft machine guns.These weapons prepared an impenetrable crossfire net for Japanese fighters.Immediately afterwards, the Japanese torpedo planes, including the lead plane driven by Inoue Chuanquan, all hit the muzzle of the gun one after another, and were ruthlessly torn into pieces by shrapnel.Even if some aircraft were lucky enough to escape the high-density fire counterattack, it was impossible for them to launch a powerful attack again because the optimal attack distance had been missed.

Resurgence: World War II Chapter 557 The End of the Yamato

The defeat against the battleships did not dispel the Japanese will to fight. This time they began to focus on the battleships that seemed easier to deal with.Under the second wave of dive attacks by enemy planes, the destroyers Minjiang and Zhanjiang were sunk by 250-jin bombs and torpedoes.More than 300 people were killed and injured on the two ships. The bomb also caused the boiler room of the Minjiang to explode, causing the hull to break in two.Encouraged by this victory, the Japanese began to shift their targets, and about ten or so planes began to attack what they believed to be the second weak target, the formation command ship Yuntian located at the forefront of the fleet.

Seeing the enemy planes swooping over, the fighter jets on the battleship immediately set sail, and the anti-aircraft guns installed on the warship also started to speak, and cloud after cloud of black smoke appeared around the enemy planes.However, this helped the Japanese instead, because the anti-aircraft guns prevented the interceptor planes on the Yuntian from climbing to the necessary altitude.

"Hurry up! Fill up the gas!" Lin Jiannan, who had just landed, urged the ground crew on the deck loudly.At this moment, his damaged wing leader had already been dragged off the deck by a trailer, and beside him was a brand new spare.The air above the entire aircraft carrier has turned into a huge battlefield. Debris from the anti-aircraft guns mixed with silver-white aluminum pieces and burning canvas kept falling on the deck. The ground crew is struggling to clear those messy things for the runway .After working for a long time, the fuel was finally filled up.Lin Jiannan was also ready for the final battle. In front of him was a plane that was being refueled.Through the tactical symbols on the side of the plane, he knew that this was the lead plane of the 5th Wing. The propeller was still turning continuously, and the ground crew on the side were replenishing ammunition for the plane.

Lin Jiannan knew that the pilot of the lead plane was Zhuang Cheng, the captain of the 5th Wing. There was a little friction.This friction did not stop until they transferred from the Air Force to Naval Aviation.See your competitors' planes getting ready to take off.Lin Jiannan here immediately felt the pressure, because he knew that the opponent might surpass him in record, so he immediately urged his ground crew loudly, asking them to let him take off immediately.

Just at this time.Suddenly the alarm on the warship sounded, and the huge hull of the Yuntian began to turn.Not far away, several Japanese torpedo planes are swooping towards this side, and the torpedoes mounted one after another are very conspicuous under the thick fuselage.

The anti-aircraft guns on the side of the ship, which were in charge of air defense, immediately spun and sprayed out flames at the same time.However, the enemy aircraft group did not slow down, and flew to a place only about 5000 meters away from the warship, and successfully dropped the torpedo.Accompanied by slight splashes of water, three torpedoes fell into the gray ocean one after the other, and three long white marks appeared under the sea surface, rushing towards the Yuntian from three sides.

Faced with this situation, the soldiers on the Yuntian seemed very flustered.Torpedo attacks are often fatal, and the opponent is obviously very experienced. The three planes use three different directions to attack, and the huge warship has no way to maneuver and evade.Just when everyone was preparing for the fatal blow of the opponent's torpedo, Lin Jiannan suddenly heard the roar of the engine, and he saw that the Falcon aircraft in front began to accelerate slowly.

"Things that didn't grow!" Looking at the other party's action, Lin Jiannan thought that Zhuang Cheng was going to escape from the deck by flying a plane, so he spat hard.

Unexpectedly, the Falcon fighter flew away from the wide flight deck, made a beautiful spin in the air, and suddenly swooped down!

"What is he going to do?" Seeing this situation, Lin Jiannan suddenly understood, and Zhuang Cheng was going to use his plane to block the torpedoes fired by the opponent. "Zhuang Cheng! Are you crazy, kid?" Lin Jiannan yelled involuntarily.

But it was too late, Zhuang Cheng's fighter plane plunged into the sea, and then a huge water column rose, "Boom!"

Three torpedoes concentrated on the fuselage of the Falcon fighter at the same time, and Zhuang Cheng and his plane were instantly torn to pieces. At the last moment, Zhuang Cheng saved the lives of Yuntian and more than 1000 sailors with his own life.Lin Jiannan stomped his feet anxiously, slowly closed his eyes, and two tears welled up in his eyes.

The heroic behavior of Major Zhuang Cheng not only saved the entire warship, but also made the momentum of all the soldiers and Chinese people reach the highest point.Of course, it also caused the morale of the Japanese to drop to freezing point.Seeing this, the Japanese fleet left in a hurry after dropping a few bombs indiscriminately.After all, they have done their best.

This intense air battle lasted about 10 minutes.The Japanese lost about 42 combat aircraft.

At 7:40, the carrier-based planes of the Beiyang Fleet began to land on the mothership one after another. The ground crew was busy again lifting heavy bombs and torpedoes to the deck through the elevator leading to the ammunition depot, and then carefully Installed under the pylon under the cabin of the aircraft.Others began overhauling machinery and refueling planes. After 10 minutes, all aircraft were ready for combat.Just wait for the order of the Gust, and all the fighters can attack.

Lin Tai was deeply saddened by Zhuang Cheng's death. The Japanese air raids did not take advantage of them. Now is the time when their defense is weakest, so he categorically ordered: "All combat aircraft groups attack!" For the Beiyang Fleet under their leadership, now is the time to show their true strength.

At 8:20 p.m., the first attack wave was guided by three Falcon fighter jets to the sky over the United Fleet.Immediately, a harsh siren sounded on the Japanese warship, and then began to fire back.The black clouds blasted by the anti-aircraft artillery pointed out the direction for other Chinese fighter planes. More and more Chinese carrier-based planes flew here, densely gathered in the sky above the combined fleet.

Although the United Fleet suffered heavy losses in the previous air battle, Yamamoto still cobbled together 34 planes to meet it.The Falcon fighter jets swooped over from high altitude immediately, and fierce tail-biting battles and air defense battles broke out over the various Japanese fleet formations.Although the United Fleet Aviation has tried its best, it is really powerless to face the Chinese carrier-based aircraft that are higher in quantity and quality than their own.

The battle in the air lasted only a short 10 minutes, and the battle showed an overwhelming situation.After another 3 minutes, the Falcon fighter force had effectively curbed the interception of the enemy plane. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Chinese torpedo attack aircraft force also launched an attack immediately.

"Falcon 5! Did you see the big guy at three o'clock on the right?" Lin Jiannan, the captain of the First Wing, said to the wingman next to him through the intercom.Only then did the Falcon 5 pilot realize that a huge island was turning right, and the slightly downward deck extending from the bow could be seen very clearly from high altitude.

"I see, Captain, according to the arrangement characteristics, it should be the flagship of the United Fleet, the Yamato."

"Order. All troops, spread out formation, target the Yamato at three o'clock! Attack!" Hearing this order, the Falcon 5 immediately pushed down the * joystick, and the fighter jet rushed down at a very small angle .

"Sir, the enemy seems to be swooping down. Are they going to drop bombs on us?" Looking at the swooping plane, a soldier said loudly to Yamamoto 56.

"Don't worry, my second lieutenant, we have prepared a powerful fire defense network, and those toy planes can't hurt us at all." Yamamoto waved his hand and said very confidently.

"But why are these fighter jets swooping down on us now?"

"They may be planning to use machine guns to suppress our anti-aircraft guns, or to correct the dive route for the dive bombers." But now Yamamoto is also a little strange, because the opponent's fighter jets formed a strange diamond-shaped formation.So he raised the binoculars again and looked at it. It didn't matter if he didn't look at it, he was surprised immediately.Because the so-called auxiliary fuel tanks are not mounted under the belly of those fighter jets, but a long, big torpedo. Is this the latest Chinese Swordfish fighter?

"Bastard!" Seeing this situation, Yamamoto shouted: "Attention! Attention! The target is at 9 o'clock. The enemy's torpedo plane formation is coming." He knocked on the helmet of the officer next to him, "Why are you in a daze? ? The enemy is attacking!"

But it was too late at this time, the formation of Swordfish fighters had quickly passed through the best air defense area in Japan, and the formation of four aircraft disintegrated over the Yamato, divided into several attack waves and approached the Yamato from four angles.Then these planes adjusted their altitude again. At this time, they were only less than 20 meters away from the sea level. This would not only make the torpedo attack of their own planes more stable, but it would also be a blind spot for the opponent's anti-aircraft guns, and the Japanese would not be like Beiyang. Fleets play water curtain attacks like that.

At a distance of 500 meters from the target, Lin Jiannan took the lead to pull down the red handle next to the * joystick, and then he felt the plane fall heavily, and then threw it high, the whole plane instantly felt a lot easier .He started to steer to the left, and at the same time gradually raised the nose of the aircraft, looked down through the isolation glass, and saw a thin white line in the lower right corner rushing towards the Yamato at high speed.

"Zhuang Cheng, my brother will avenge you soon!" Lin Jiannan prayed secretly.

"Torpedo! Torpedo attack!" Seeing a white western line rushing here from not far away, the lookout post on the Yamato shouted hoarsely. According to his visual inspection, the torpedo was about 450 meters away from here. , According to the speed, it is estimated that it will hit its own warship in 12 seconds.So he was meditating in his heart: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...

12!Fortunately, he didn't hear the explosion. "The torpedo has passed!" Unexpectedly, as soon as the sentry's voice fell, a huge explosion threw his whole body off the watchtower, and soon there was a second and third sound... ...At the moment when the sentinel's body was about to fall on the deck, a thought flashed through his mind: he counted fast.

Resurgence: World War II Chapter 558 The End of the Yamato

ps: Today's big seal, send ten more, flowers come here.

At this time, on Yamato's bridge control tower, Yamamoto 56 was listening to the report of the damage control captain: "A torpedo hit the starboard side below the island and exploded, causing damage to the boiler room and airtight compartment on the right side, and the oil tank. The water began to seep. Another hit hit the rear of the right side. The main telegraph room and the standby operating system in the bilge were flooded, and the hull had already begun to tilt! In addition, a torpedo concentrated on the bow."

"Immediately fill the left cabin with water to ensure balance, and immediately drain the water in the telegraph cabin to ensure smooth communication. In addition, use a manual rudder. In short, don't forget, this is our flagship, and I will never allow it to have any major accidents !" Yamamoto 56's face was extremely gloomy, and in his opinion, this was really a bad start.

Although the ship was hit by three torpedoes, there was no problem for the rough-skinned Yamato.After some adjustments, the Yamato regained its balance.But the battle is far from over. The Chinese fighter group will not let go of this behemoth that has been injured and has basically lost the ability to fight back and move.While the damage control team members on the Yamato were desperately trying to eliminate the danger, the worst thing happened.

There was a huge roar at an altitude of about 7000 meters, so that the explosion of anti-aircraft guns was difficult to cover up.The most frightening Lan Xiang dive bomber group appeared.Since this kind of bomber appeared in the Singapore counter-insurgency campaign, it has been regarded as a treasure by countries all over the world, and countries all over the world have begun to compete to manufacture their own dive bombers.But no bomber can compare to the Lanxiang fighter.After the Japanese started the war, they first took suppressing the opponent's Lanxiang fighter as the most important tactic.Now when something that brings death appears in the sky above the United Fleet, everyone knows what it means.

At this time, above them, the Lanxiang fighter group began to dive down from an altitude of 7000 meters. They recognized two battleships at the lower left, one of which was smaller and frantically doing a zigzag evasion, while the other Larger ones appear sluggish.

"Attention all teams, attack target No. 2." They chose the smaller one because it was closer.As for the other big one.Now in the eyes of the Lanxiang team, it is no different from a dead target.

After the Battle of Singapore, in order to deal with the Second World War, the Ministry of Air Force began to make some improvements to the Lanxiang fighter. In addition to modifying some parts such as aircraft hooks and folding wings to make it suitable for aircraft carrier operations, it also increased The power of the engine, of course, is limited by technology, so this time the new engine only reached 1800 horsepower, which is enough even so. In addition, the bomb load of the aircraft has also been improved again.It can carry two 500kg bombs or four 4kg bombs, and if an external pylon is added, it can carry eight 250kg or 8 100kg bombs.

The 4th team's shooting angle adjustment has been completed, and they are about to turn their plane into a dive state, but the machine gunner in the back seat screams loudly.It turned out that the fighter planes of the first team had already started a dive attack on the opponent.Obviously, they wanted to grab the meat that was already on their lips.

The 4th team adjusted its course while cursing, and began to rush towards the big guy who seemed to have lost its fighter.After completing a beautiful left turn, the four Lanxiang fighters began to dive down, and at the same time adjusted the dive angle to 70 degrees, then pulled the speed brake, and with a screaming sound, they rushed towards the center of the warship. swooped on.

"Engine gun attack!" When rushing to 3000 meters, the four fighters pulled the triggers of the front airborne machine guns, and eight orange tracer bullets sprayed out from their cabins, and the straight ballistic trajectory pointed directly at the front elevator platform of the Yamato .

At this time, in order to avoid the sudden attack, Yamato began to recover its ability to move. Obviously, he also sensed the danger he was in, so he moved slowly with the wind, but it was too late.

After considering the wind direction and the moving speed of the opponent's target, the 4th team aligned the front sight slightly forward of the bow. Although the opponent's anti-aircraft shells kept exploding beside him, the rough-skinned Lan Xiang Did not suffer any loss.

In an instant, Team 4 had reached the standard bombing altitude of 150 meters. The pilots quickly pulled down the red bombing handle, and then pulled up the nose suddenly. After a beautiful arc, the plane began to climb upwards at high speed.

Four 500-kilogram heavy bombs penetrated straight through the Yamato's 2.5-inch armor plate and reached the bottom transmission compartment. Three minutes later, three huge pillars of fire erupted from the body of the largest and most perfect battleship of the Japanese Navy. These pillars of fire gradually gathered and turned into a huge fireball. Violent explosion.

"The Yamato is about to sink, quickly evacuate the warship!" There were shrill shouts on the deck one after another.

"General, the escape boat is ready, you must withdraw here as soon as possible." The guard fleet commander Shintaro Hashimoto rushed to the Yamato at the first time to rescue Yamamoto 56.

Yamamoto looked blankly at the sailors running around. The hull of Yamato, known as the world's number one battleship, slowly tilted, and the steel bracket made harsh noises due to the cracking. Is this the end?Yamamoto still can't believe what is happening before his eyes.

"General, evacuate quickly, it will be too late if you don't leave." Hashimoto Shintaro was almost crying to persuade his chief.

"No! I want the Empire of Japan No. [-] battleship to live and die together." Yamamoto said stubbornly.

"General, the Yamato sank, but we still have the Maizuru ship, the Nagato ship, and the King Kong ship. These are the pride of the Japanese Empire. We have not failed yet..." Hashimoto Shintaro tried hard to persuade .

Yamamoto took one last look at the towering mast of the Yamato, sighed, and said, "Well, whether this war is won or lost, I will explain to the Emperor why the Yamato sank."
