Chapter 41: The Cunning Ghost
Almost at the same moment, the cockpits of all Japanese planes were filled with fire, but there was no explosion. When the venerable Japanese pilots "appeared" in the air, they all rode in the world's most primitive "ejection seats".
It's just that it's a bit dangerous, especially if you don't have a finished design. Because they have not yet had time to design the placement of the parachutes and the system for the synchronized fall off of the canopy. So although this thing can be ejected, it's a little more dangerous!
The ejection process of the ejection seat is as follows, and the flame of the initial rocket jet is enclosed in a thin steel tube, somewhat like the cold launch used by an intercontinental missile.
The seats carried the pilots' bodies up and down, slamming their plywood-helmeted heads against the canopy that wouldn't fall off. Although the bulletproof glass is very strong, when it comes to this kind of person who is not afraid of death and has to hit his head, he has no choice but to shatter and let him leave freely.
The Japanese pilot, who was lucky not to break his neck bone by the violent impact, came into the air dizzily. Under the cold wind in the sky, they could wake up a little, and then they were horrified to find that the plane had somehow flown away, and they were floating in the helpless sky.
The hordes of Japanese pilots, who were still flying their planes just now, were of course puzzled in the sky, how could such a thing happen? Didn't the plane go through a thorough overhaul by the mechanics?
=δΈ=ζ¬=Read=Yes, even if the mechanic overhauls, it is impossible to find out, and the problem appears in the chair leg! It's like someone puts a thumbtack under the cushion of your stool, and a few people can notice it.
In fact, this is just one place, and there will be a detonator at the core of a part of the transmission cable that controls the control mechanism, and even if the pilot is lucky enough to stay in the plane, what can they do if they can hold on to the lever that cannot control the wing?
Even, if they were ejected for a few minutes, they would find that the joystick would snap at the root. Of course, with this family, you can break the cockpit and escape by parachuting!
As a pilot, there is almost no one who doesn't like the sky, but when he doesn't have a flying machine, I believe that no one will like the sky. Therefore, they opened their mouths and let out the most terrible screams, especially the "faces" in the sea below, which now seemed to be rapidly growing in size and becoming very hideous.
The most peculiar thing was the strange scene that Cheng Biguang saw, a Japanese plane that was about to attack the aircraft carrier and fly over his battleship "Qingdao" actually ejected the pilot, and then the pilot plunged headlong into his warship.
Lao Cheng saw such a mindless spectacle, so he had to scratch his head and ask left and right.
"Damn, can you vote like this?"
Left and right silently .......
Before getting the real fate of the group, Yamamoto Isoroku was in a hurry to go back and forth in the radio room on the warship. Their Japanese planes are not like sabers. The squadron leader can directly talk to the command staff in the "Hawkeye" reconnaissance command airship, and they have to rely on the pilots on the plane to send telegrams to understand the situation on the battlefield.
Therefore, the Japanese side did not know what kind of "adventure" their pilots and planes had suffered, and the entire fleet still maintained its top speed and pursued the task force that was "blocked" in the strait.
It took a long time for the Japanese to receive telegrams from the Korean garrison and the garrison on Jeju Island, so that they understood that they had been deceived by some profiteers. All the planes became "drones" in an instant, and as for the pilots, it seemed that it was more difficult to jump into the sea from a height of several hundred meters than to dive from a high platform, so they were also completely destroyed.
However, by this time, the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy, which had been in rapid pursuit, had already reached the edge of the strait, and even the shadow of the task force was vividly visible.
"The people of China are bastards, the people of these bastards!"
In the war room of his flagship "Ise", Yuzaburo Kato has completely lost the calm demeanor of a soldier. Alas, too, when fighting, being calculated by others about their weapons is really a heartache that needs to be vented. In particular, the anger in this feeling can drive people crazy.
It's like a knight using a spear in a duel, and when you start charging with a spear, you realize that whoever fucked your horse ate croton won't be able to run. And what will you see in your eyes? In this case, can you go to the battlefield without "fainting after anger"?
After the anger, the Japanese Combined Fleet did not give up the pursuit of the task force, after all, they were right in front of them, if the Combined Fleet launched an attack on the task force, then it was possible to completely destroy the other side's hated task force under the blow of the three-way artillery fire.
Yuzaburo Kato, who had just lost all of his naval aviation, immediately commanded his main fleet to press up. As with the aforementioned plan, it seems likely that another battle of big ships and cannons will break out here.
In order not to interfere with the fleet's advance, the 10 "improvised aircraft carriers" of the Japanese Combined Fleet were now completely wasted because they had no aircraft, and in order not to interfere with the fleet's advance, they were ordered to sail to the China Sea to rendezvous with the landing force there, so that they could be protected by cruisers and destroyers.
At this time, Admiral Luknar, who had used a secret weapon, seemed to be firmly attracted to the target on the Japanese mainland, or he was a very stubborn man. Under the suppression of the artillery fire on both sides of the strait by the planes in the sky, he led the task force to continue to pass through the strait of more than 100 kilometers at a speed of 25 knots.
By this time, his rapid detachment of cruisers and destroyers, which had been separated at first, had reached the exit of the strait. A large number of mines began to be laid at sea, as if in the hope that they could stop the Japanese fleet.
Over time, after an hour of chase, the main ships of the task force sailed out of the strait, turned southeast, and reduced their speed. And in the strait, at this moment it is already the main fleet of the Japanese Combined Fleet, including cruisers.
This is where Captain Luknall buried the bones of the Japanese Combined Fleet. And the appearance of attacking the Japanese mainland that he made before was just a trick to scare them and lure them into being fooled.
Therefore, the Jeju Strait between Jeju Island and Korea was chosen as the location for the Japanese fleet to be annihilated, because the narrow channel here was not conducive to the navigation of large warships. In addition, if the Japanese Combined Fleet wanted to make a detour, it would be too late to stop its fleet from attacking the Japanese mainland, and the planes on the "Yue Fei" would have to let them go around.
Interestingly, with the exception of Yamamoto Isoroku, there are basically no far-sighted people in the Imperial Navy of Japan who can completely determine the development of the form of naval warfare for the new type of navy. In addition, Yuzaburo Kato, who is the chief of staff of Heihachiro Togo, is naturally a staunch supporter of large ships and artillery, especially when he is so close to the enemy fleet.
"Let's watch the first release together, please support genuine reading, and support the author's creation" Don't laugh and give birth to a group: 35761481; Mailbox:.
Faced with such a group of cunning and sinister enemies, Tomoro Kato was clearly amused. His main fleet broke into the Jeju Strait without thinking. After all, although the shore artillery on both sides did not have much strength left under the blow of the aircraft, it was finally controlled by the Japanese side, and if the other side was not afraid, what reason did he Kato Yuzaburo have to be afraid?
But when he saw the other side's cruisers and destroyers busy at the mouth of the gorge, he seemed to understand the other party's intentions. After all, if they blockaded it with mines, his fleet would not be able to pursue them effectively, and wouldn't it have fulfilled the enemy's goal of attacking the Japanese mainland?
"The main ships are slowing down, and the cruisers and destroyers are going to the front for minesweeping operations!"
Dozens of cruisers and destroyers are arranged to block a gorge that is only 80 kilometers wide, which is not at all the same thing, not to mention that the control area of such fishnet mines can often reach about 100 square meters. Coupled with the help of those "Benlei II", it is not worth mentioning at all to arrange a line of defense composed of mines.
Looking at the dense and thickened mine belts, Yuzaburo Kato, who had already broken in with the fleet, understood that he had fallen into the trap of the other party. Wherever they want to attack the homeland, they just want to get their own attention. When you get here, you can destroy your air power, and then basically the entire Combined Fleet will be a lamb to the slaughter.
"Order the ships to turn around, we need to get out of this area quickly!"
Yuzaburo Kato, who understood it, felt that a huge crisis had befallen him, as well as the entire United Fleet. Under this crisis, he had no choice but to let the cruisers and destroyers he sent to carry out demining tasks fend for themselves, and the main fleet slowly turned its huge body and prepared to turn around.
In fact, the blow they suffered today is just the beginning.
If they had the US "Watchtower" early warning planes, they would have been so frightened that they would not dare to sleep, and more than 140 large airships were rapidly approaching them at a speed of 150 kilometers per hour at a small altitude.
It's really strange that naval battles can also be dropped with airships? Otherwise, what are they doing here? Could it be that this is the special force that Luckner applied to Tang Yunyang? Is Luknar going to use 5,000 tons of bombs to blow all these warships to the bottom of the sea?
That's a bit too much, isn't it?
You must know that in this short strait, almost all of Japan's warships are included, and if they are eliminated, then the door to the Japanese mainland will be completely opened.
You must be asking what's inside that gate?
Let me tell you, there is a place where Japan's industrial capacity has increased almost tenfold since the beginning of World War I!
