Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

After Yamamoto left the ship, more than 3400 officers and soldiers on the Yamato fell into greater chaos. People flocked to the rear deck frantically. Many people even shot at their own people in order to save the lifeboat. It was the first time for Japanese sailors to serve in the service, and they faced the end of being buried in the sea.Although the alert formation activated hundreds of lifeboats, due to the chaotic scene, only more than 700 officers and soldiers were rescued until the Yamato sank completely, and the rest of the Japanese became the funeral objects of the Yamato in despair.

Just when Yamamoto 56 left the Yamato sadly, the Chinese fighters did not stop there, and more Lanxiang fighters concentrated their forces and began to attack the battleship Nagato next to it.In just 10 minutes, huge water columns rose around the Nagato, and the sailors on the warship frantically blocked it with anti-aircraft guns, but the speed of the Lanxiang fighter was so fast that it didn't even give the anti-aircraft guns a chance to aim.

At the same time, two fighter planes quietly appeared on the starboard side of the ship like hounds, and dropped torpedoes at a distance of about 600 meters.

"Torpedo, the enemy plane has launched a torpedo!"

Faced with such a close-range torpedo attack, the helmsman in charge of the rudder was helpless. He could only watch the two torpedoes rush towards him with long white lines. Ten seconds later, two explosions appeared on the warship one after another. On the starboard side, the advanced electric torpedo penetrated the Nagato's armor belt, and nearly 5000 tons of seawater surged in from the rupture at a speed that was astounding.The damage control team had no way to close all the watertight doors. The cold sea water rushed through the pipes and hatches to the engine room at the core of the warship. The four boiling boilers that were working immediately exploded after encountering the cold sea water.

In this way, in just a few seconds, the Nagato followed the Yamato and sank into the bottom of the sea irretrievably.

After two consecutive attacks, the Chinese fleet still had no intention of stopping. They rushed to the third and fourth targets, the two formation command ships of the United Fleet, King Kong and Chicheng.Of course, in the face of the aggressive Chinese fighter planes, the United Fleet did not sit still. Most of the destroyers and cruisers moved closer to these two warships. Light scratches and the screech of shrapnel.

But at this time, the Chinese fighter planes didn't seem to care about the Japanese's intensive defense. For them, the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower was still too little. More importantly, their biggest threat, the Japanese carrier-based fighter force, had almost been wiped out.To deal with this kind of anti-aircraft artillery, they still adopt the method at the beginning, turn off the speed brake, turn off the automatic pull-up device, and then drop the bomb at a distance of 500 meters.This tactic made it impossible for the Japanese warships to deal with it. Yamamoto 56 was so anxious that he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot and almost fainted.

In just 10 minutes, the two battleships withstood more than 20 airborne bombs and 6 electric torpedoes, and instantly turned into two huge fireballs. Among them, King Kong tilted 10 degrees in 20 minutes, Forced to retreat outside the combat area.The Chicheng exploded while burning, and then became the third battleship to sink.

Three or ten minutes later, the warhawks of the Beiyang Fleet successfully completed the first wave of air strikes and began to return, but Yamamoto knew that the Chinese would never stop there, and a bigger air strike would come soon.

Although the United Fleet suffered heavy losses from the air strikes by the Beiyang Fleet, it was not seriously damaged in general.If Yamamoto still resolutely implements his predetermined plan at this time and lets all the fleets continue to attack north, maybe there will be another chance to come back.If it really doesn't work, you can also lead the fleet to withdraw from the battle area immediately, and use the method of dispersing and breaking through to detour south. In this case, you can also throw off the opponent's attack.However, now Yamamoto made a mistake that a senior commander must never make: he hesitated.

If it is said that hesitation is not necessarily a bad thing under normal circumstances, but at this critical moment, especially when deciding the life and death of one's troops, a second of hesitation may become a fatal mistake.

Resurrection: World War II Chapter 559 Smashing the Combined Fleet

Ten minutes later, the destroyer fleet on guard at the forefront issued an air-to-air combat alert, saying that a large number of enemy planes from the north were approaching here.Obviously, this is the second attack wave of the Chinese.Now Yamamoto can only bite the bullet and go up. One minute later, Yamamoto's flagship Mutsu hoisted two flags, the Z flag and the signal flag for air defense preparations.

The sound of the fleet engine came from the sky, and the detector in charge of the sound detection marked the source of the sound: "1 o'clock direction due north, 50 kilometers away from the core position."

"Listen to my order-the whole ship fires!" Yamamoto, standing on the bridge of the Mutsu, shouted loudly to the entire fleet through the loudspeaker.At this time, he was wearing a navy blue navy dress, a large white cap, white gloves on his hands, and various medals and medals hanging on his chest, as if he was not fighting, but preparing to participate in a grand ceremony.

Directly opposite Yamamoto is the second wave of the Beiyang Fleet's air attack force consisting of 132 combat aircraft.

"Attention! Attention! Prepare to attack, prepare to attack. The target is the opponent's capital ship. The fighter jets go down first to clear the way for us. The torpedo planes release torpedoes to disrupt the opponent's formation. The dive bombers follow me." After assigning the task, Lin Jiannan took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly: "Start attacking!"

With an order, the Chinese warhawks rushed down from high altitude, and the first ones to rush down were the group of blue bird fighter jets. These fighter jets were mainly responsible for clearing the way for the bombers and suppressing the anti-aircraft firepower of the enemy ships at the same time. The dynamism of the 20mm cannon and 7.92mm machine gun will force opposing anti-aircraft gunners out of their positions or outright eliminate them.The Lanxiang dive bomber followed closely behind, using fighter jets to create a vacuum of firepower on the opponent to target and drop bombs, while the Swordfish torpedo fleet on the other side came from below and launched a torpedo attack on the opponent.This is the trinity's sea attack tactics painstakingly studied by the Imperial Air Force Academy.

This time, they first attacked the two battleships in the middle of the joint fleet, Ise and Fuso, because the two battleships were not only huge in size and prominent in position, but also had a peculiar appearance with three turrets in front.The three Lanxiang fighter jets put down their speedbrakes from the place where they dived from 3000 meters, and fell sharply at high speed, and the buzzer in front issued a mournful sound.

The Ise and Fuso below were clumsy in S-shaped evasion.However, because the center of gravity of the two ships is in the front and the position of the bridge behind is too high, the warship cannot make a large-angle turn in a short time.In the face of wave after wave of attacks by enemy planes, the two warships seemed a little powerless.

Soon, the Ise was fatally attacked. Three Lanxiang bombers roared down and dropped four bombs in a row. Three of the 500kg bombs blew up the two turrets of the Ise in one fell swoop, but the fatal blow It was the third plane that dropped the 1100kg bomb, which flew into the towering bridge and landed near the rear boiler room.A huge fireball exploded from the rear of the Ise in an instant, and the fireball became bigger and bigger until it swallowed the entire hull.

At the same time, groups of Lanxiang fighters rushed towards the Fusang. A Bluebird fighter that was responsible for cleaning up the front was shot down and fell down with a long tail of smoke, but the two Bluebirds that followed him The Xiang fighter plane avoided the barrage very beautifully, and dived at an angle of 2500 degrees at an altitude of 80 meters.A huge bomb fell heavily on the front deck of the Fuso with a roar.At the same time, one of the Lanxiang fighter planes was also hit by anti-aircraft guns the moment it pulled up its nose, turning into a ball of fire, rolling and falling downward.However, in comparison, the huge ship Fuso was much worse. The 500kg bomb just now penetrated the ammunition depot of the right turret. Amid a series of huge explosions, the entire warship began to sink. The area is too large, and the damage control team has nothing to do.Three and ten minutes later, all attempts to save the warship failed.As a last resort, the formation commander Yamada Yuji had to issue an order to retreat.The command flag hung on the mast of the Fuso was hastily lowered.The sinking speed of the warship became faster and faster, and the stern of the ship was raised high, like a giant's finger standing upright on the sea.After another 10 minutes, the pride of the Japanese Navy, a model of modern warships, disappeared from people's sight forever.

The successive sinking of flagships and formation command ships such as Yamato, Chicheng, Nagato, Ise and Fuso dealt a great blow to the Japanese. There were serious problems in command and coordination. For a time, most of the Japanese warships Starting to fight on their own, the originally dense anti-aircraft artillery also became sparse.

Under the fierce attack of the Chinese warhawks, the East Asia Maru oil tanker of the United Fleet, the heavy cruisers Tone, Chikuma, Myoko, and Haguro, the battleship Haruna, and the minelayer Zhenjin Maru were successively sunk or exploded and caught fire. Combat sequence, combined fleet was severely damaged.

Yamamoto 56, who was repeatedly hit by sap, finally came to his senses.

"All turn around, leaving a few destroyers in charge of rescue, and all fleets leave the battlefield immediately at maximum speed!" He gave an order loudly.As a result, the remnants of the United Fleet immediately began to turn around, and fled to the southern waters under the leadership of the flagship Mutsu. The plan to seize Jeju Island failed completely.

At this time, the Chinese warhawks had already completed their expected air strike mission.Under the leadership of the leader of the entire attacking team, after circling for a while, they gathered their formation and returned together.

Although the attack aircraft group flew away, the Griffon reconnaissance plane was still scouting every move of the combined fleet at high altitude, and notified the Beiyang Fleet Command of the new coordinates of the enemy ship by radio.

After hearing the news, Lin Taizeng smiled slightly. The current actions of the other party were within his expectations. What he did now was to slowly tighten the noose around the other party's neck.However, just as he was about to order the third wave of attacking troops to take off, a telegram from the Department of Naval Operations surprised him!

Meteorological experts arranged by the Ministry of the Navy in Jeju Island have discovered through detection that there may be heavy fog in the waters around Jeju Island tonight, and there will be huge waves of about magnitude 10 on the sea surface.This situation shows that if the third batch of troops attacks, it is likely that they will not be able to return smoothly.Lin Tai once had an emergency consultation with a group of think tanks in the headquarters, and then issued an order: "The third wave of troops will return immediately and do not make any attacks." At the same time, he ordered the fleet to advance south immediately to shorten the distance between it and the United Fleet , The Japanese want to leave so easily, it is not so easy.

At the same time, Yamamoto was leading his combined fleet to the southwest like a bereaved dog.The most troublesome thing at this time was Yamamoto 56. He never expected that the powerful combined fleet would be defeated by the opponent in a day's battle. What was even more depressing was that he didn't even see the shadow of the opponent's fleet. He led his fleet to flee the battlefield.But the loss is simply too great.Six giant battleships, more than a dozen light and heavy cruisers, 35 frigates and destroyers, gunboats, torpedo ships, and minesweepers are countless. They also lost 700 naval aviation elites and nearly 8000 naval officers and soldiers.Not only was the task of landing on Jeju Island not completed, but even his own flagship, the Yamato, went in. After returning to Tokyo, how should he explain to the emperor and the citizens of the Empire of Japan?At the thought of this, he had the urge to commit suicide.

"General, I just received the information that there will be heavy fog on the sea soon. Is it appropriate to increase the distance between the ships, or let them spread out, so that unnecessary collisions caused by collisions will be avoided? Loss?" Shintaro Hashimoto, commander of the second security formation, glanced at the frustrated Yamamoto.

"Well! Just do as you want!" At this time, Yamamoto, who had lost his mind, had completely lost his ability to judge the current situation.

"Report, the Beiyang Fleet has sent a telegram." In the 17th Command of the Weihai Navy Department, a communications soldier held a telegram and said: "The Japanese Combined Fleet is fleeing southwest at a speed of 20 knots. It is estimated that their target is A makeshift island base in the middle of the Pacific Ocean."

Deng Shichang was the first to stand up and said loudly to the other generals: "Now that we know the enemy's goal, we should pursue the victory."

But Lin Jianzhang waved his hand: "Zhengqing, but the Beiyang Fleet has no cards in its hands. It is heavy fog, the plane cannot go out, and it is night, and the vision is extremely poor. It is impossible to realize the wolf pack tactics." Paused: "In the current situation, we have to use the submarine force. The role of the submarine is mainly to ambush the opponent's poorly defended capital ships, but if he is asked to actively attack the heavily defended enemy fleet, it will be moths to the flame. After all, the Japanese Combined Fleet now has not just one or two destroyers, but also submarine hunters and submarine hunters who are specially responsible for anti-submarine patrols. Although I also know that General Lin Taizeng has begun to mobilize submarine troops to intercept. But in case If the other party had prepared for it, we would have suffered a great loss." Lin Jianzhang expressed his concerns in one go.

"Zeng Rong, I know what you mean, the battle has reached this point. We can no longer look forward and backward at this time, and delay the opportunity of the war. Besides, now that we have an absolute advantage, it should be Yamamoto 56 who is afraid of it now." Deng Shichang smiled. Said.

Lin Jianzhang thought for a while and nodded: "Then I will immediately let Lin Taizeng launch an attack and strive for the greatest gain."

At this time, more than 30 submarines under the jurisdiction of the Beiyang Fleet began to leave their predetermined channel and head towards the place where the United Fleet gathered at high speed.

At eight o'clock in the evening, groups of white fog rose from the calm sea, slowly connecting into one piece, covering the sky and the moon.The high-speed combined fleet has opened up the distance between the ships and readjusted their speed.The leaders of each squadron also turned on their searchlights to prevent the fleet from getting separated.Only then did Yamamoto breathe a sigh of relief. At this moment, he no longer needed to worry about the enemy's attack, because even a fool knew what the consequences would be if he launched an attack when the visibility was almost zero.

Resurgence: World War II Chapter 5 Sixty Deep Sea Roundup

However, what Yamamoto didn't expect was that the heavy fog would also play a concealing role, especially for submarines, who could quietly sneak into the surroundings of the United Fleet.

"Tell the engine room to slow down and keep a distance from the opponent's warship. We are now in a semi-submersible state. It is not a good thing to collide with the opponent's warship. Also, have you contacted other submarine teams?" Major Zhang Chengzhi, who was in charge of commanding this time, asked the first officer standing next to him in a low voice.

"The whale hunting team and the shark hunting team have been contacted. They have all rushed over. In addition, the fish hunting team is also close to the target."

"That's good. Let's continue to follow the opponent here, let them continue to approach, and we will launch an attack when the fog clears!" At this point, he suddenly ordered loudly: "Prepare to dive and enter the periscope state."

Each submarine immediately shook the handle, filled the water tanks on both sides of the submarine with water, and made the submarine dive rapidly. After 5 minutes, all submarines dived.

The submarine brigade kept silent and waited for about 3 hours before the white mist slowly dissipated.

"Don't wait any longer, it's time for us to act." Zhang Chengzhi gave an order, and all the submarines slowly rushed towards the United Fleet. After half an hour, they finally arrived at the scheduled attack position.

Through the periscope, Zhang Chengzhi began to select hunting targets from the huge Japanese fleet, and he found a large gray shadow, which was a heavy cruiser, and the bow was setting off layers of huge waves.Zhang Chengzhi let it go. After all, among so many warships, the tonnage was much larger than it. It is not wise to expose one's whereabouts for a cruiser.

A larger black shadow appeared in the periscope. The ship was moving steadily and fast to the south, and the huge bow splitting the white waves looked very spectacular.Zhang Chengzhi was about to find the best attack angle, but the warship turned to the southwest by itself, and it was about to form a 70-degree angle with the submarine, which was an extremely ideal attack angle.

"Quick, get ready for a torpedo attack!"

After everything was ready, Zhang Chengzhi raised the periscope again, and fixed the crosshair firmly on the bow of the opponent's warship...

"Shark Hunter 4, get ready!"

"Pay attention to the direction. Pay attention to the distance!"

"Lower the periscope. Don't let us expose the target. Angle, port 20, aim at the target." Having said that, Zhang Chengzhi glanced at his watch: "Launch 1, launch 2, launch 3, launch 4."

"Submarine quickly, don't expose our hull."

During the rapid dive of Shark 4, Zhang Chengzhi heard four explosions in a row. There is no doubt that the four torpedoes hit the target accurately.

At this time, on the sea surface, on the Yamashiro, a battleship command ship of the United Fleet, accompanied by a huge explosion, a huge wall of water rose up on the sea surface, raising the giant ship with a standard displacement of 30600 tons. He lifted it up, and then fell heavily on the sea, and the Japanese sailors on the ship didn't know what happened.

At this time, the left side of the ship had been pierced with four big holes, one of which hit the boiler room on the left side, which immediately caused the entire power system of the warship to be interrupted. on the sea.Although the damage control team tried their best to rescue them, they still couldn't stop the seawater from rushing in from the breach, and the warship began to tilt to the left. Due to the loss of the power system, the generator could not supply power, which caused the entire warship to tilt intensified.The captain gave the order to abandon ship.The destroyer in charge of escorting nearby moved towards the Asagiri.After about an hour of busy work, more than 1 people boarded the destroyer, and at this time the hull of the Yamashiro suddenly had a big rollover, and a few minutes later, the entire warship disappeared into the endless sea.
