Warlord: Red Alert Base, I challenge the whole world alone

"Immediately launch fighter jets from the aircraft carrier and locate these five coastal defense guns!"

Kojima Takizo's reaction was still very quick. From the direction from which the shells came, he could determine that they came from the direction of the island city.

But the island city is now under their control.

The coastal defense artillery batteries on both sides of Jiaozhou Bay are under the control of two Marine Corps teams.

So these coastal defense guns must be near the island city.

But if that's the case...

Takizo Kojima immediately came to the map and began to measure.

"Hiss! At least 60 kilometers! The enemy's artillery has a range of over kilometers. It must be a railway gun. Let them search along the railway line. They'll definitely find it."

He knew very well how heavy a cannon with a caliber of at least 280 mm was. It was impossible for such a thing to appear out of thin air around the island city.

But if it is a railway gun, it can be explained.

Although railways are a constraint for railway guns, they also give them high mobility.

"Order all ships to increase their speed. If you see any shelling, immediately maneuver to evade it."

In particular, the Fuso battleship where he was located had obviously become the target of concentrated fire.

As Kojima Takizo's order was issued, the entire fleet began to operate efficiently.

The battleship Fuso also began to gradually increase its speed.

As a battleship with a full displacement of more than 24.7 tons, its power is only hp, so its top speed performance is not ideal, only 25 knots, not even reaching knots.

Seven minutes after the first round of shelling, the first round of shells followed and appeared above the fleet.

"Bombs incoming, steer hard left to evade!"

Looking at the direction where the shells were coming from, Kojima Takizo said in a calm tone.

Upon hearing this, the helmsman immediately started to operate.

The sudden full left rudder also caused the battleship Fuso to tilt to one side.

The Fuso battleship itself became top-heavy due to modifications, especially its island, which was jokingly called an illegal building.

However, the Fuso battleship seemed a bit cumbersome to the incoming shells.

7.5 shaft horsepower is really too much for it.

“Boom…Boom…”

Five shells fell as fast as meteorites, landing in the sea on the right side of the Fuso battleship, and the explosion once again set off a column of water.

The closest one was less than 80 meters away.

After seeing this scene, Kojima Takizo's face changed, which also meant that the opponent's artillery was becoming more and more accurate.

Thinking of this, Kojima Takizo couldn't help but be shocked.

"Reconnaissance plane, there must be one of their reconnaissance planes nearby, find it immediately!"

If we can find their position and calibrate it, then there must be an enemy reconnaissance plane in the sky.

At this moment, the large reconnaissance plane that appeared a few days ago emerged in his mind.

Sure enough, the observation post reported in less than a minute.

"A reconnaissance plane was spotted in the northwest. It was flying very high, probably about 5000 meters."

"Have the Feng Xiang launch fighter jets to drive it away. Don't get too close."

He was deeply impressed by the fierce defensive firepower of the reconnaissance plane that day.

So he just ordered the fighter planes to drive it away instead of shooting it down.

Because their fighter planes seemed a little behind this reconnaissance plane, he would report this situation after returning and ask the Military Affairs Department to develop new carrier-based fighter planes.

The Fengxiang aircraft carrier was very busy, launching two batches of fighter jets. All 15 fighter jets on the carrier were launched, leaving only four spare fighter jets.

The first batch of fighter jets flew towards the island city.

The second batch of fighter jets rose in altitude and flew towards the RB-17G reconnaissance aircraft.

There were a total of 9 Fuso fighter planes flying towards the island city, 5 of which were Type carrier-based attack aircraft, which was also an imitation torpedo plane used as a reconnaissance aircraft.

The RB-17G reconnaissance aircraft in the air also discovered the incoming fighter planes, but they did not panic at all.

If you can get people to come, why can't I?

After a radio call, a P-38 Lightning squadron located in the rear immediately accelerated and rushed over here.

As for the nine Fuso fighter planes that conducted in-depth land reconnaissance, they were naturally intercepted by aircraft groups.

Without air superiority, they had no chance of threatening the railway artillery positions.

Another six minutes passed and the third round of shells fell.

This round of artillery fire still did not produce any results.

Because the speed of the Fuso battleship has been increased, its maneuverability has been enhanced, and it is easier to avoid artillery fire by just twisting.

It is really difficult to hit an enemy battleship in the vast ocean.

After all, it is more than 60 kilometers apart.

What's more, Jiang Hua didn't expect these K5E railway guns to sink the enemy's battleships.

The railway gun group poured shells at the battleship Fuso at a rate of about 6 rounds per hour.

The fourth round of shooting finally produced some results.

One of the shells grazed the Fuso's illegal island and landed less than 20 meters away from it.

The huge waves caused by the explosion immediately caused the Fuso battleship to shake violently several times, and the deck was soaked through by the falling waves.

The bombardment at sea continued and the battle in the sky began.

When the six Type 6 carrier-based fighters finally climbed to an altitude of 5000 meters, they were ready to approach the RB-17G reconnaissance aircraft.

At this time, the P-38 Lightning fighter swooped down from a higher altitude like a falcon.

These five Type 5 carrier-based fighters were turned into aerial torches without even struggling.

These biplane wooden fighters were too vulnerable to the 20mm cannon.

Looking at the five carrier-based fighter planes that were blown up by the Lightning group, Kojima Takizo's mouth twitched involuntarily, revealing a helpless look.

Now he really had no way to deal with this reconnaissance plane.

Their only remaining threat to the reconnaissance plane was their anti-aircraft guns.

But they were too far away from the reconnaissance plane and the range was simply out of reach.

Soon, the group of aircraft that went out for land reconnaissance also sent a farewell telegram.

They encountered a large number of lightning fleets.

Obviously, they are in great danger.

"Fall back!"

He hadn't given any orders before because he wanted to use himself as bait, and then let the fighter planes find the position and destroy the cannons.

Now that the Fengxiang aircraft carrier is left alone, there is no need for it to stay.

After all, 60 kilometers is too far for their naval guns to reach.

What else can I do here except get beaten?

So the Fuso started to turn first, but this also exposed its large side.

At this time, the fifth round of artillery shells arrived.

Five shells fell one after another, one of which was an armor-piercing shell that landed in front of the No. 5 main turret at the rear.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, flames from the explosion shot up into the sky.

Then I saw that the two 6mm main guns of the No. 356 main turret were slightly bent.

Although this shell did not cause much damage to the battleship Fuso, it made Takizo Kojima feel nervous.

"damn it!"

Since the enemy has already hit the Fuso, it means that the next shells will also have a high probability of hitting.

This is the same principle as the cross-fire during the bombardment of huge artillery in naval battles.

As long as a cross-fire is formed, the probability of hitting in the next round is very high.

"Try to turn around and run? Have you asked me?"

When Gu Zhengyang heard that the Fuso fleet wanted to escape, he immediately snorted coldly.

"The railway guns are still a little lacking. Now that we've driven them away, let's have the shore-based aviation attack. We can't let any of them escape."

The main function of the railway gun is to drive away the enemy, and the real trump card in his hand is the newly formed shore-based aviation force.

Drive the Fuso fleet farther away from the land, and then sink it with various types of fighter planes.

This can also reduce the risk of exposure and prevent other forces from knowing that fighter jets pose such a great threat to warships that they can even sink battleships.

If the great powers knew that fighter planes could threaten battleships.

This will undoubtedly draw their attention to fighter jets and aircraft carriers.

In the next few rounds of shelling, two more shells hit the Fuso battleship.

Both shells landed on the front of the ship, destroying the No. 1 turret and creating a large hole in the front deck.

There was no fatal damage, but the battleship Fuso was in an extremely miserable state.

Hundreds of shells were fired, but only three hit the target, with a hit rate of 3%.

Without the assistance of radar and fire control systems, it is extremely difficult to hit a moving target at a distance of more than 60 kilometers.

In less than an hour, the battleships Fuso and Yamashiro, along with their smaller crews, had run more than 20 nautical miles away, less than 20 nautical miles from the aircraft carrier Fengxiang.

This area is already far away from the land.

"Order shore-based aviation to attack!"

At the command, at several temporary field airfields, various types of fighter planes produced in the past two days took off from the airfields.

An entire squadron of carrier-based aircraft was prepared for the bombing of the Fuso fleet.

These include the F4U Corsair fighter-bomber, the SBD dive bomber, the TBM Avenger torpedo bomber and a more mysterious model.

The first batch of attacks came from the 48st Fighter Brigade, with a total of 36 aircraft, of which were on the offensive.

Their mission is not to seize air superiority, but to be responsible for "washing ships".

The meaning of boat washing is also very simple.

They will carry eight HVAR rockets to destroy the Fuso warship's air defenses.

So their mission was to deprive the Fuso fleet of its air defense capability, which is also called ship washing.

Then the second batch of fighter jets took off, and this time the entire army was mobilized.

12架护航的F4U海盗、36架SBD俯冲轰炸机、36架TBM复仇者鱼雷轰炸机以及12架携带着弗里茨X制导炸弹的DO217轰炸机。

The second batch of fighter jets are the trump card against the Fuso fleet.

36 F4U Corsair fighters assembled over Jiaozhou Bay and rushed towards the Fuso fleet at a speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour.

The F4U Corsair carrier-based fighter is one of the best carrier-based fighters in World War II, with excellent performance in both air, sea and land operations.

Before jet carrier-based aircraft entered service, it had been active on various battlefields.

Especially the F4U-4 Corsair they are flying now, which has enhanced power and many improved designs.

Its top speed is 721 kilometers per hour.

The weapon consists of 6 12.7mm caliber machine guns and can carry 8 rockets or 907kg bombs.

A distance of more than 4 kilometers is less than half an hour for the FU Corsair fleet.

Soon the Fuso fleet appeared in their sight.

Fuso warships were sailing at high speed on the sea, with long wakes behind them.
