super god warlord

The Japanese navy did not know that their communication code had already been deciphered by the intelligence department of the Western Special Zone.Although the fleet has maintained radio silence, its course of action has been mastered.In order to fight the Japanese navy, the two major fleets of the West Special Army dispatched at the same time. They assembled secretly on Yizhou Island, waiting for the order to attack.

The four seaplane regiments stationed in Guanghai City and Yizhou Island of the West Special Navy took turns to dispatch, using ultra-long-range seaplanes to patrol the sea, looking for the movement of the enemy.

The plan couldn't keep up with the change, because the weather at sea was unpredictable, and the Japanese fleet encountered a storm in the Eastern Ocean.Admiral Kanji Kato, commander of the joint fleet, was very experienced in fleet navigation. He immediately ordered the fleet to keep a safe distance to avoid collisions between warships.Admiral Kanji Kato quickly checked the direction and strength of the wind, and determined the eye of the storm. Then he carefully commanded the fleet to deviate from its original course and slowly advance along the edge of the storm.

At this time, Shen Shoukun, Cai Tingqian, Du Xigui, and Xu Zhenpeng were in the naval war room in Keelung Harbor, waiting for news from the naval aviation.The sudden storm disrupted the tracking plan of the submarine force. Because the sea conditions were too bad, the submarine was forced to dive to avoid it, so the combined Japanese fleet disappeared.

Cai Tingqian drew a circle [-] nautical miles east of the Miyako Islands and the Ryukyu Islands with red and blue pencils and said: "This is where the submarine was lost. It has been three hours now, and the storm is heading northeastward." Dong, I think the combined Japanese fleet should be between Miyako Island and Ryukyu Island."

"The sea conditions there are bad now, and we can't use planes or submarines to conduct investigations. Where do you think the Japanese fleet will appear?" Shen Shoukun asked in a deep voice.His words made everyone frown. Although they learned that the opponent's target was Guanghai City by listening to the Japanese navy's telegram beforehand, there was only one target, but there were many roads.

Chapter 45 Fighting the Storm

Today, due to the impact of the storm, the weather around the Miyako Islands and the Ryukyu Islands is bad, and neither planes nor submarines can enter for reconnaissance. Once the joint fleet bypasses the West Te Navy ambush on Yizhou Island and directly attacks Guanghai City, the problem will be very serious. .

Du Xigui sighed and said, "Should we seek stability now and order the fleet to return to Guanghai City and fight the Japanese army in a decisive battle off the Zhoushan Islands?"

"The commander-in-chief's meaning is very clear. Since the Japanese army intends to fight to solve the problem, we will give him this opportunity. The whole army will launch a flank attack to block the route back to the Japanese country, so that the opponent has no chance to escape back to the old nest." Xu Zhenpeng replied. road.

"But in this way, Guanghai City will be in danger. The current fortress guns are no longer able to compete with warships, and there are no naval bombers available there. The situation is too complicated now, and it is difficult for us to find traces of the Japanese fleet. Guanghai City was attacked, who can bear the responsibility." Du Xigui said.

"We can't change our plan. This is our chance to dominate the western part of the Eastern Ocean. As long as this Japanese fleet is wiped out, we will have no opponents in at least half of the Eastern Ocean." Shen Shoukun said solemnly: "Your Excellency is right. In order for the Hualan Kingdom to really rise, it is necessary to control the ocean. The United Fleet of the Wa Kingdom will be the first stepping stone for us to dominate the ocean. If we choose to retreat now, how will we be able to face the more powerful White Eagle Kingdom and China in the future? The Saar Kingdom Fleet. The current emergency situation is just a small test, we must face up to the difficulties and make contingency responses."

Looking at the three old comrades in arms for many years, Shen Shoukun, the most respected member of the domestic navy, said: "Although we have more and more new equipment in recent years, don't forget our old methods. Sometimes the oldest method is It can save lives. Since the aircraft cannot enter the storm area, we will send destroyers to search. In addition, we will order all the seaplanes to search the periphery of the storm in turn. Once the combined Japanese fleet rushes out of the storm, we must not let them slip away."

Just as Shen Shoukun arranged a joint sea and air search for the Japanese army, the officers and soldiers of the Japanese combined fleet were fighting against the wind and waves.Huge waves as high as more than ten meters came one after another. Admiral Kanji Kato relied on decades of experience at sea to calmly judge the situation and tried his best to maintain the integrity of the fleet.

In the face of the power of nature, any human creation is so weak. The originally huge and mighty warship bumps between the peaks and valleys, just like a fallen leaf in a strong wind, which may capsize at any time.In the face of huge waves, if a small warship does not want to be overturned by the waves, the only way is to face the difficulties and charge directly towards the big waves.The principle is the same as that of surfing. Only by going head-on at full speed like climbing a mountain can you avoid being overturned by big waves.Kanji Kato commanded the fleet carefully. The [-]-ton battleships were like surfboards, charging forward against the big waves, not daring to stop at all.

The large warship rushing to the forefront of the entire fleet is the flagship of the Japanese United Fleet, the Daiwa.This battleship with a displacement of more than [-] tons was secretly built by Japan because it had exceeded the permission of the Washington Naval Treaty.

After the main force of the Japanese fleet was severely damaged by Hualan aircraft, the Japanese military had a strong sense of crisis. When they were desperately researching aircraft carriers and aircraft, they did not forget to rebuild the battle fleet.The navy of Japan agreed that the aircraft of West Special Air Force was far more advanced than that of Japan. If Japan followed the opponent's footsteps and desperately developed aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, it would never be able to surpass its opponent.

After many experts' arguments, the Japanese Navy believed that it must rely on its own technological advantages to build super battleships to deal with the sky superiority of the Western Special Zone Navy.Only by relying on the installation of intensive anti-aircraft artillery fire on the ship can the opponent's unscrupulous sea bombing be prevented.

After a series of tests, Japanese experts concluded that the same number of anti-aircraft guns placed on the same battleship has a much stronger air defense capability than that placed on several battleships. The better the performance.It is precisely for this reason that the Wa Kingdom secretly built such a huge battleship at the risk of offending many powers in the Western Continent.

The standard displacement of the Daiwa is [-] tons, and the full-load displacement is close to [-] tons. It can be said to be the largest battleship in the world today.In order to allow such a large ship to have a strong combat power, the Wa country used all the latest technology they could get.

First of all, in terms of power, the Dawa is the first warship in Japan to use all heavy oil boilers. 12 heavy oil boilers are linked with 4 steam turbines, and relying on four-axis propulsion can output a surging power of 15 horsepower. The behemoth barely managed 27 knots.

The battleship has 410 mm thick hardened armor, which is quite difficult to damage. Three triple-mounted 3mm guns, 155 double-mounted 12mm high-level dual-purpose guns, 127 156mm cannons and four 25mm anti-aircraft machine guns densely distributed throughout the hull form the anti-aircraft firepower network of the entire battleship.Such a perverted air defense firepower network constituted a three-dimensional protection of high, medium and low, which was enough to cause serious damage to any aircraft that attempted to approach. This was also the result of the Japanese army's lessons learned after the last defeat.

然而这艘战列舰最为令人称道的，是3座三联装460毫米口径主炮。原本倭国是打算安装406毫米口径主炮的，可是在对比了西特海军中川号战列巡洋舰的55倍径406毫米口径火炮之后，倭国海军工程师发现自家使用的五十倍径406毫米炮根本难以抵敌。

In order to increase the power and range of the artillery shells, the Japanese navy had to choose to increase the caliber of the artillery due to insufficient technical capabilities. The 460mm caliber main gun comes from this. Although the main gun has a multiple diameter of only 45, its range is comparable to that of the battleship Nakagawa, and the warhead is much more powerful.Of course, such a large-caliber artillery is not without cost. The life of this artillery is only [-] rounds, and the barrel must be replaced after that, otherwise the artillery will become a smoothbore gun.This is because the bore pressure of the gun is too high, and the material of the gun steel is not good enough, so a layer of rifling will be scraped off every time the gun is fired.After [-] rounds of shells have been fired, the original deep rifling will be smoothed out.

Standing on the bridge of such a giant battleship at this moment, Kanji Kato firmly grasped the railing with both hands, calmly watching the violent storm outside.Swinging his body in the turbulent sea, Kanji Kato couldn't help sighing secretly that even the super warship built at the highest level of Japanese shipbuilding, the Daiwa, which was boasted by the navy as an unsinkable ship, would tremble in the face of a storm.

The Thousandth Chapter 16 Adventure Crossing the Channel

The Japanese fleet has been fighting in the big waves for nearly three hours. Seeing that the wind and waves have subsided slightly, the sea conditions are gradually improving.Everything indicated that the United Fleet had successfully circumvented the storm along the edge, and the entire storm was moving northward, gradually leaving their route.

The storm gradually subsided, the dark clouds were gradually dissipating, and the sight on the sea was much clearer.The huge waves no longer surged onto the deck, and the turbulence of the ship was also reduced a lot. Those exhausted Japanese sailors who had been fighting at their respective posts could finally breathe a sigh of relief.When a ray of sunlight pierced through the dense dark clouds and fell on the drenched front deck of the Daiwa, Kanji Kato finally showed a smile on his tense face, and the United Fleet finally broke through.

"Report the loss immediately, and use the semaphore to announce it." Kato Kanji said, in order to maintain radio silence, the ships can only use the most traditional semaphore to communicate.After the inquiry, the information was quickly fed back. The three destroyers leaked, and the two carrier-based aircraft of the Kaga aircraft carrier were swept away by the big waves. No losses were found on the other warships.

Hearing the report from the communication staff officer, Kanji Kato heaved a sigh of relief. The joint fleet is safe, and it seems that he can continue to carry out the mission of attacking Guanghai City. "Where are we?" Kato Kanji asked, because of the impact of the storm, if he didn't measure it with an instrument, would he be able to determine his position.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we are now between Yizhou Island and the Sulu Islands, which belongs to the Nanhualan Sea and is very close to the Xilai Islands." After some measurements, he reported the news.

"What?" Kanji Kato was taken aback. Unexpectedly, due to the impact of a big storm, the United Fleet missed its original route and came to such a southerly place.If they continue with the original plan and pass through the Miyako Channel in the north, they will need to sail nearly [-] nautical miles, which will waste a lot of time and fuel.

"Your Excellency, Commander, shall we return to the Miyako Waterway?" asked Matsushitaro, the navigation staff officer.

Kato Kanji's eyes flickered a little, and he shook his head after thinking for a while and said: "No, we have to go back to the Miyako Waterway now, and we have to take the risk of passing through the vicinity of Yizhou Island, which is easy for the other party to detect. If the other party relies on If Yizhou Island attacks us with land bombers, the combined fleet will be very passive."

"What does the commander mean..." the navigation staff officer asked.The action plan must be decided by Kato Kanji, otherwise he cannot plan the route.

Looking at the military chart on the table, Admiral Kato Kanji pointed to the area between Yizhou Island and Kuaiji Province: "We will pass through here and directly attack Guanghai City. This will shorten the reaction time of the West Special Army a lot. We have a chance."

"Crossing the Yizhou Strait?" The several staff officers next to him all exclaimed.The surprise of several staff officers is not surprising, because Kato Kanji's plan is crazy.The Yizhou Strait is located between Kuaiji Province and Yizhou Island. The narrowest part of the strait is only 130 kilometers. The Hualan aircraft along the coast within this range can fully control it.If it encounters a large aircraft group attack like last time, the maneuvering space of the fleet will become very narrow, and whether the combined fleet can survive is a problem.

However, Kato Kanji's idea is not impossible, because the Hualan Civil War has not yet ended, and Kuaiji Province is Jiang Ruiyuan's territory.Although the National Army does not have an air force to cover the United Fleet, thanks to the good cooperation between the two parties, the United Fleet will never be attacked as it moves north along the coast of Kuaiji Province.

Because Kuaiji Province has not yet been acquired, the West Air Force stationed on Yizhou Island should not easily toss around the coastal areas, which greatly reduces the possibility of the combined fleet being discovered.If they could sneak northward to attack Guanghai City along the coast of Hualan, the chances of success for the combined Japanese fleet would increase greatly.

In fact, Kato Kanji was not wrong at all. The target was lost due to the storm, and the West Sea and Air Force had lost the trace of our combined fleet.According to the judgment of the Navy, the searches by seaplanes and destroyers are all concentrated near the Miyako Waterway in the north, and no one will pay attention to various parts of the south.If Kanji Kato leads the United Fleet northward like this, there is a real possibility that the sneak attack will succeed.

After Kanji Kato explained, everyone agreed with his thoughts. The United Fleet replenished fuel in the last wide sea area, and ordered three flooded destroyers to detour back to the country. Northbound road.

The huge combined fleet secretly crossed the Bashi Channel, and they sailed westward until they were thirty nautical miles away from Quanzhou Port before turning north again.Taking advantage of the complicated sea conditions off the coast of Kuaiji Province, they quickly rushed into the Yizhou Strait.

Shen Shoukun was still waiting for the reconnaissance report from the seaplane. After the weather improved, all the destroyers and submarine troops were scattered. In addition, the four seaplane regiments also dispatched collectively. Within a 180-degree fan with Keelung as the origin, two Patrols in hundreds of nautical miles.

The Seat Navy's attention is all in the north, and no one will pay attention to the seemingly very safe southern waters, which has become a blind spot for Seat Navy's reconnaissance.At this time, the Sanya Squadron had already set sail and headed towards Keelung Port.

Due to the passage of the storm, although the Sanya Squadron was moored in the port, some ships were damaged.Because of these repairs, Lin Jixun's troops were delayed for two full days, and they hurried northward until five days before the final assembly date requested by the four fleet commanders.

Unlike the Japanese United Fleet, which carried a large number of oil, coal, and ammunition supply ships for long-range operations, the Sanya Squadron just went from the Sanya sub-base to the Keelung sub-base, and the sea route was less than [-] nautical miles.In order to speed up the march, they didn't even carry any supply ships, and directly drove out the warship.

Such a naval fleet quickly entered the Yizhou Strait at a cruising speed of 10 knots, and at this time it was only [-] minutes before Kanji Kato passed here.Kuaiji Province is still in a hostile area, so although the Sanya Squadron is not too far away from Kuaiji Province, the fleet's course is also slightly biased towards Yizhou Island.

If the Western District's reconnaissance satellite is still operational, it will capture a marvelous sight.The two fleets belonging to the enemy country actually went towards each other along two routes more than 50 kilometers apart. Due to the faster speed of the Sanya Squadron, the distance between the two sides is still getting closer.

The Sanya Squadron has entered the waters off Hualien. Lin Jixun sat on his leather swivel chair, looking at the vast sea with many thoughts.According to the Navy's intelligence, the Japanese fleet is coming towards Guanghai City. This will be a sea battle that has never been seen in the history of China and Japan.

The Thousandth Chapter 17 The Discovery of the Long Tuan

Since the rise of the Western Special Zone, the navies of the two sides have not collided much. Apart from the last attack by aircraft, the Dadonggou naval battle more than ten years ago was already the largest.Lin Jixun also participated in the naval battle at the beginning as the captain of the Zhongshan, but at that time it was only a duel between several large ships. It was not so much a large-scale naval battle as a duel between knights.Although Hualan achieved some results that time, it did not hurt the Japanese people. It can be said that the revenge of the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War was not completely avenged.

Since the last air attack on the Japanese fleet, the Japanese navy has made great efforts and invested most of the country's funds in the navy. It has built a number of new battleships in a row and greatly strengthened its air defense capabilities.Lin Jixun knew this, and so did the top navy executives.Today, the navies of the Wa Kingdom and the Hualan Kingdom are on the same level as they were during the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-]. It seems that history is repeating itself, and the fleet of the Wa Kingdom sneaked in again.

This time the two countries once again stood at a fork in the road, and the navy once again became the key to the success or failure of both parties.After more than ten years of hard work, Fang Shouhong relied on various incredible means to give the Seat Navy another chance to make a decision. This opportunity will not be missed by every naval officer.

This will be a battle of national destiny, a battle of luck between China and Japan.Once the Seat Navy is defeated, although the economic strength is much stronger than the opponent, there is no possibility of defeating the Wa Kingdom at sea for at least 20 years, and once the Wa Kingdom is defeated, the only thing waiting for them is subjugation.

Thinking of the upcoming decisive battle at sea and the death of his father in Dadonggou, Lin Jixun sighed again.He secretly made up his mind that this time he must avenge his father Lin Luzhong and the thousands of Hualan marines who died unjustly.Today, the warships owned by the Sitt Navy are no longer comparable to those in history. Lin Jixun is also confident that he will complete such an arduous historical mission together with his comrades.

When Lin Jixun was deep in thought, the communications staff officer suddenly turned his head: "Commander, the destroyer reported that the enemy was found."

"What?" Lin Jixun jumped up suddenly, he quickly walked to the communication equipment, and put on the spare earphone.

"I'm Lin Jixun, I'm reporting your position and the enemy's situation." Just as Lin Jixun put on his earphones, he heard the rumble of artillery from the opposite side. Obviously, the destroyer had been spotted by the enemy.

Hearing Lin Jixun's question, a voice quickly came from the headset: "Commander, I'm Gao Yifeng, the captain of the destroyer Longtuan. We are on alert [-] kilometers to the west of the fleet, and only one Japanese destroyer has been found so far. , should also be a warning ship, and the specific situation is still under investigation, but according to my experience, the main fleet of the Japanese Kingdom should be not far from the coastline of Kuaiji Province."

"What?" Lin Jixun exclaimed, and then immediately said: "Try to sink the opponent's sentry ship, then look west for traces of the enemy, and try to confirm the number and size of the Japanese fleet."
