Early June.

In the waters of the East China Sea, a fleet is sailing, this is an aircraft carrier formation, not only has a huge aircraft carrier, there are a lot of planes parked on the aircraft carrier, but also two heavy cruisers, 4 light cruisers, 6 destroyers.

This is the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Navy, and the aircraft carrier is naturally China's "Datong" aircraft carrier, and the number of heavy cruisers and light cruisers has increased, and some of the light and heavy cruisers captured in Vladivostok have been repaired and equipped to the Pacific Fleet.

As for the six destroyers, they are all "Zhao Yun-class" missile destroyers, and in mid-May, four more "Zhao Yun-class" missile destroyers were equipped with the navy, and the number of missile destroyers in the Pacific Fleet reached six.

As for the small gunboats that were previously equipped, they were completely transferred to the Coast Guard for offshore patrols.

On both sides of the fleet, you can also see several "Black Ghost" small submarines, these submarines, who are sailing on the sea, can see the black hull of the submarine.

Comrade Liu Dazhu, commander-in-chief of the Navy, was standing in the command room of the "Datong" aircraft carrier, looking through the glass at the boundless sea, and his heart was full of passion.

Since Zhang Yunfei appointed Liu Dazhu as the commander of the navy, Liu Dazhu felt that he had completely rejuvenated his second spring, and his whole person was full of energy.

Since the first battle with the Japanese Navy more than a month ago, after sinking more than a dozen warships of all sizes in the Japanese Navy, Liu Dazhu has been looking for fighters for some time, looking forward to the arrival of the second naval battle.

In the past half a month, Liu Dazhu has led the Pacific Fleet to patrol the waters of the East China Sea, and the transport ships and merchant ships of the little devils have found a lot. But none of the little devils' fleet hairs were found.

In fact, many transport fleets and merchant fleets were sunk in the East China Sea, and the little devils already knew that the main naval force of the Chinese army was in the East China Sea.

In order to strike at the Chinese Navy, the Japanese Combined Fleet sent a powerful fleet that also entered the waters of the East China Sea a few days ago to wander, preparing to annihilate the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Navy.

It's just that Liu Dazhu didn't know that Liu Dazhu was expecting to find a Japanese fleet and then fight another sea battle, and Liu Dazhu was full of confidence in his fleet. There is even more confidence in the Stinger missile.

"Chief! We found suspicious targets, and at a distance of about 150 km from us, a fleet was spotted. ”

"Oh!" Hearing the news, Liu Dazhu's face was overjoyed, and he immediately said, "Send a helicopter to investigate." Hurry up and figure it out. ”

"I hope it's a Japanese fleet this time." Liu Dazhu thought secretly in his heart.

On the "Datong" aircraft carrier, a helicopter gunship immediately took off and flew toward the target sea area, and the normal flight speed of the helicopter gunship was 200 to 300 kilometers, and in about half an hour, the helicopter on its way to carry out reconnaissance tasks began to approach the fleet.

The helicopter flew at an altitude of nearly 1,000 meters, condescendingly, and saw this fleet several nautical miles away, and there was no doubt that it was a large Japanese fleet.

One of the pilots picked up his binoculars and looked at the Japanese fleet. After looking at it for a long time, I was secretly frightened, this was a large fleet, and one of the warships actually looked much larger than the "Datong" aircraft carrier.

How can there be such a big warship, is it a super battleship.

The pilot looked at it carefully. As a naval pilot, there is still a certain amount of common sense, and it is determined that this is a huge battleship with a displacement of at least 60,000 or 70,000 tons. What is the concept of 60,000 tons? Quite a few aircraft carriers may have only half of this displacement.

Such a big battleship, and a battleship of little devils, it would be great if this battleship could be sunk, thinking of this, the pilot couldn't help but be excited.

However, in addition to the excitement, I was also a little worried that the fleet of the little devil was much larger than his own Pacific Fleet, with twenty or thirty large and small warships, and the long fleet was sailing in formation, and there was almost no end to the fleet.

This is a huge fleet under the combined fleet of little devils, with two battleships, seven or eight light and heavy cruisers, plus destroyers, supply ships and transport ships, and the entire fleet has more than 20 large and small ships.

After carefully observing the situation, the pilot immediately reported the situation to the "Datong" aircraft carrier through the radio communication system.

"Datong" aircraft carrier.

After receiving the detailed report from the helicopter in front, Liu Dazhu was overjoyed and happily slapped his thigh, "Great, it's really a small Japanese fleet." ”

"Chief! This little Japanese fleet took the initiative to send it to the door, and we found out, this time we are going to annihilate them all! ”

"That's for sure!" Liu Dazhu is full of confidence.

"Chief! In the report just now, it was said that there was a huge Japanese strategic ship in this small Japanese fleet, and could we sink such a large battleship? ”

Hearing this, Liu Dazhu thought for a while and said, "Comrades! It depends on whether the spear of our 'Stinger' missile is powerful, or the shield of the small Japanese strategic ship. ”

"Chief! Then there's another big war! ”

Liu Dazhu nodded, and then began to give orders, ordering the soldiers to be ready for battle, enter a state of combat readiness, and order the Pacific Fleet to move towards the fleet of the little devils.

The fleet of the warriors is in the dark, and the fleet of the little devils is in the light, and this time, it is just right to quietly move closer to the fleet of the little devils.

The radar on the "Datong" aircraft carrier and the radar on the "Zhao Yun-class" destroyer are closely monitoring the little devil's fleet, and the direction and course of the little devil's fleet are clear to everyone, while the little devil's fleet knows nothing about all this, and many lookouts on the little devil's warship are constantly observing the vast sea.

The distance between the two fleets was gradually shrinking.

Inside the command room of the aircraft carrier "Datong".

Several commanders had a heated discussion there, and everyone speculated that this giant ship in this small Japanese fleet was a battleship of what kind of small Japan, and it was so huge.

"Chief! What kind of battleship did you say this little devil battleship was, and how could it be so big? ”

Hearing this, Liu Dazhu thought about it in his heart. There is a faint speculation that this huge battleship should be the battleship "Yamato" of the small Japanese combined fleet.

If it was really the battleship "Yamato", it would be shit luck, if the battleship "Yamato" of little Japan could be sunk in the waters of the East China Sea, it would be great, and the thought of the possibility of sinking the battleship "Yamato" of small Japan, even Liu Dazhu couldn't help but get excited.

Liu Dazhu couldn't help but be excited.

The battleship "Yamato" was one of the largest super-battleships in the history of the Japanese Navy. Belonging to the Yamato-class battleships, this super battleship was built in small Japan in a total of three, namely the "Yamato", "Musashi" and "Shinano". The first two have already been equipped with the Japanese Navy, and the "Shinano" is still in the shipyard and is under construction.

The construction of the battleship "Yamato" had a strong historical background, and Japan was a country with a relatively weak industrial base and few resources. It is simply impossible for Japan to compete with the United States, which has a strong industrial base and abundant resources, in terms of the number of warships.

The Japanese Navy expected that the battleships built by the U.S. Navy would carry 406 mm (16 in) naval guns due to the Panama Canal restrictions. In accordance with its policy of "insufficient quantity and making up for it by quality" since the Meiji era, Japan has attempted to offset the opponent's quantitative superiority with the quality superiority of a single ship. Under this guiding ideology, the Japanese Navy began to prepare for the construction of super battleships equipped with 460 mm guns, and the Yamato-class battleships were designed and built under this guiding ideology.

When the Yamato was built, it had a standard displacement of 65,000 tons. The sea trial displacement is 69,100 tons, and the full load displacement is 72,808 tons.

The total length of the hull is 263 meters, the waterline is 256 meters long, the perpendicular length is 244 meters, and the beam is 38.9 meters. The waterline is 36.9 meters wide, 18.915 meters deep, 10.4 meters average draft (sea trial), and 10.86 meters full load.

Furthermore. The weapon system of the battleship "Yamato" was also super terrifying, and the Yamato was famous for its giant main guns. The main gun is a triple Type 94 45 x diameter 460 mm caliber naval gun, three main turrets, two triple turrets on the foredeck, and one triple turret on the aft deck.

The Type 94 460 mm main gun equipped with the "Yamato" is the most powerful naval gun in history, and compared with the MK7 Type 406 mm caliber 50 times the diameter naval gun equipped with the "Iowa" class battleships, the Type 94 460 mm naval gun is in an advantageous position in terms of armor-piercing weight, muzzle velocity, and firing range.

Such a huge cannon, as long as it is hit by one shot, for a small warship, it is simply the end of the world, and it may be sunk with one shot.

In addition to the terrifying main gun, the secondary guns and anti-aircraft artillery of the "Yamato" are also very powerful.

The secondary guns of the "Yamato" were 12 155 mm guns of 60 times diameter (four triple packs) dismantled from the conversion of the most advanced heavy cruisers, with a turret weighing 150 tons and 25 mm armor plates. Maximum firing range (45 degrees of elevation) 27,400 meters, maximum firing altitude 12,600 meters (can also be used for anti-aircraft fire), rate of fire 5-7 rounds / min, 150 rounds per gun,

The main and secondary guns of the "Yamato" were capable of firing at the air. But these two types of artillery were not specially designed anti-aircraft guns after all. Anti-aircraft shooting can generally only play a role in intimidating the flight of incoming aircraft, and the ship's air defense tasks are mainly carried out by its 127-mm and 25-mm anti-aircraft guns.

Type 89 40 x diameter 127 mm anti-aircraft guns, the "Yamato" was built with 12 guns (6 twins, all with shields), and later increased to 24 guns in the modification (12 twins, half with shields). The gun has an elevation angle of +90 degrees - (-) 8 degrees, the muzzle velocity of the gun is 725 m / s, the maximum firing range is 14800 m, the maximum firing height is 9400 m, the rate of fire is 14 rounds / min, and the barrel life is 800-1500 rounds.

Type 96 60 times diameter 25 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns, the Yamato was built with 24 guns (8 triple packs, all with shields), and later added one after another, and the final total reached 152. The gun pitched at a distance of +90 degrees - (-) 10 degrees. The muzzle velocity of the gun is 900 m / s, the maximum firing range is 6800 m, the maximum firing height is 5000 m, and the rate of fire is 220 rounds / min.

With such terrifying anti-aircraft fire, the battleship "Yamato" could completely break away from the aircraft carrier and did not need the cover of the aircraft group, and even if it encountered a large number of aircraft, the battleship "Yamato" could protect itself.

In addition to the terrifying weapons, the armor of the battleship "Yamato" was also very strong.

The battleship "Yamato" was equipped with a total of 22,895 tons of armor and defense plates, which accounted for 33% of the normal displacement of the entire ship. The steering engine nacelles of the battleship "Yamato", which were outside the main defense zone, were also laid with thick armor, and the top armor of the main and auxiliary rudder nacelles was 200 mm, and the bulkhead armor was 350-360 mm thick in the main rudder nacelle and 250-300 mm thick in the auxiliary rudder nacelle.

Such a thick thickness of armor is a big test for the "Stinger" missile.

This time, I really don't know if it's because the spear is stronger or the shield is stronger.

This will not be known until the ensuing naval battle.

In addition to the battleship "Yamato", there was another battleship in this fleet of small Japan, and that was another battleship of small Japan - the battleship "Yamashiro".

It seems that little Japan has invested a lot of money this time, and in such an unfavorable situation in the Pacific theater, it actually sent two such battleships, the battleship "Yamato" and the battleship "Yamashiro".

More than a month ago, the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Navy completely annihilated a medium-sized fleet of little devils, sinking more than a dozen small Japanese warships, including heavy cruisers, and for some time now, it has sunk many small Japanese transport ships and merchant ships.

Although the battleship "Yamashiro" cannot be compared with the battleship "Yamato", the battleship "Yamashiro" is not small, the battleship "Yamashiro" is the sister ship of the super battleship Fuso, it is a battleship in the annual plan of Meiji 44 (1911), and it is the first of the seven battleships Yamashiro, Ise, Hinata, Nagato, Mutsu, Yamato, Yamato, Musashi, which were started in the Taisho era.

The battleship "Yamashiro" also has a displacement of 34,500 tons, a total length of 212.75m, and is equipped with 12 360 mm caliber main guns and 14 150 mm secondary guns, which is also very terrifying in terms of firepower.

Now the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Navy is only 70 or 80 kilometers away from the fleet of the little devils, and the small Japanese fleet will soon enter the effective range of the "Stinger" missiles of the Chinese fleet.
