Chapter 941: Isn't this Huaxia's battleship?
"Is the main force of the China Navy coming?" Takasu Shiro was surprised.
Although the Japanese Navy has suffered several losses at the hands of Huaxia, it has all kinds of reasons to comfort itself.
From the earliest Soryu aircraft carrier to the Nagato-class Mutsu, they were basically lost to the Pioneer Cannon and the Huaxia Air Force, and the other Kirishima was sunk by the earliest Nagato-class Zhenyuan, which was also caused by a close raid, and the overall strength, the Japanese were too much stronger than the Huaxia with only one battleship.
In the later encounter between the East China Sea and Huaxia, although the three battleships Anyu, Ise, and even Musashi were folded, the Japanese still blamed Koga Mine on the top of the black cauldron, and still did not think that the Huaxia Navy was strong.
"The intelligence we have gathered shows that the China Navy now has 6 battleships and 6 aircraft carriers." Yoshizo Tanaka answered directly next to him.
Yorizo Tanaka still made a big splash on Kuah Island, causing the Americans to suffer a big loss, but he should also oppose the Tokyo Rat Express plan, believing that the lack of air supremacy and supplies could not last.
The war in the Marshall Islands had confirmed his idea, but there were still fast destroyers in the Northern Mariana Islands carrying supplies, and he was repatriated to meet the attack of the Chinese army.
After carefully studying the intelligence, he found that there should not be many warships in the Chinese army's attack this time.
"In the vicinity of the port of Sovet and Vladivostok, there was one battleship of the Zhenyuan class each." With his excellent skills, Tanaka Yoizo quickly discovered the whereabouts of the Huaxia battleship, "Now these two battleships have arrived near the Soya Strait!" ”
"There was originally a Dream-class super battleship stationed near Lushunkou and Qingdao near Qingdao. Recently, the two Dream-class battleships of the third rank have not moved. Yorizo Tanaka continued.
The recognized Zhenyuan-class battleships in the world generally refer to the second-class dreadnought-class battleships of the Red Alert, and the third-class Red Alert dreadnought-class battleships that appeared when conquering Lushun are generally called dream-class battleships by the world.
The Yamato-class battleship of the fantasy class, the H-class battleship of the fantasy class, and the Dreadnought-class battleship of the dream class are in the series of three thoughts. Probably the 3rd class dreadnought battleship with 500 mm guns is the most powerful.
The Japanese have been following the movements of these two Dream-class ships. These two super battleships, which could completely overwhelm the Yamato-class, did not act, which reassured the Japanese a lot and gave them a little more confidence in defeating the Huaxia Navy.
"The people of China probably had 2 more battleships. Similar to the German Bismarck-class battleships and the French Richelieu-class battleships. "Yorizo Tanaka, who was beaten and returned to his homeland to serve as a staff officer of the major general, was very conscientious.
After all, the Japanese intelligence agency has been operating in China for many years, and the information it has used is also very accurate.
The other 2 battleships of Huaxia were indeed Bismarck-class and Richelieu-class battleships, and they were not of base origin. It's still authentic.
Because Meng Xiang has always been worried about the potential threat of the base, and even the warships produced by the base are worried that in some cases, there will be an accident, which will cause Huaxia's military strength to regress by 20 years at once, so the backup plan was activated very early.
When the Germans sensed the growing threat from the air, the copycat company enthusiastically extended a helping hand to the Germans and cheaply helped to modify the anti-aircraft weapons of the Bismarck-class battleships.
Faced with a copycat company that can produce super Yamato-class battleships and H-class battleships, there is no doubt about him, and he is very happy to hand over to the copycat company to upgrade the two Bismarck-class ships one by one.
And take advantage of this time. The battleship Tirpitz was replaced with a base-built battleship.
Meng Xiang actually changed even the Bismarck class, but there are too many traces of use, as well as possible changes. So that Meng Xiang did not change drastically. just secretly changed the battleship Tirpitz to the command of the Huaxia Navy.
In the same way, the copycat company also switched to the battleship Richelieu, which of the French.
If it weren't for the fact that the Americans have always been very deep on the embankment of copycats and umbrella companies. Maybe even the Iowa-class battleships and even the latest Montana-class battleships were replaced by Meng Xiang's trick of changing the tanuki for the prince.
However, the Japanese, who have always been cautious and cautious, have no idea that the ship of the king in their minds, the Yamato, has long been replaced by Meng Xiang.
In the case of the Yamato-class battleship being dumped everywhere by copycat companies, Japan was no longer so secretive about the Yamato, and finally the umbrella company that repaired the Yamato near Singapore was replaced.
Also because the Germans did not defend the cottage company, the excellent Scharnhorst battlecruiser and the lucky Prinz Eugen cruiser were replaced by Meng Xiang, which also made Meng Xiang feel a lot more relieved.
In this way, even if there is a problem with the base, even if all the weapons involved with the base have problems, with the support of these three battleships and several heavy cruisers, the Huaxia Navy will not decline all at once.
In addition to the hidden battleship Yamato, the Japanese could easily detect the six battleships in the Huaxia Navy sequence. With these battleships in their respective positions, Japan had the confidence to easily defeat China.
This time, the battleship under Takasu Shiro was the battleship Hiei.
After the Japanese got two more battleships from the cottage company, one replaced the Musashi, which was sunk by Huaxia, and the other was named after the Kongo-class Hiei, which was also sunk by Huaxia.
During the First Sino-Japanese War, the Hiei had been murderous in front of the Beiyang Navy, and Japan also hoped to take advantage of this good omen to fight against China.
The Yamato-class battleship Hiei has been stationed in Sasebo. This time, the Japanese intercepted the Huaxia landing fleet and also dispatched it together.
In the eyes of the Japanese, such a super battleship alone was enough to suppress the Huaxia Navy, which had not been dispatched by super battleships.
Moreover, the Japanese also dispatched the No. 2 ship Yamashiro, the Fuso-class battleship, from Sasebo to the Huaxia Landing Fleet together.
They were accompanied by the Eagle and the Falcon, two aircraft carriers that had escaped last time.
In the eyes of the Japanese, with the cooperation of the army aviation, these two modified aircraft carriers are enough to cope with the affairs of the near sea.
But who knows, from the very beginning, the Japanese native defense fighters were beaten by the Chinese escort fighters and could only avoid them far away.
The Japanese, who lacked the latest fighters and qualified pilots, were too busy to cope with the overwhelming array of Chinese fighters, even if they wanted to use suicide attacks.
A group of about 30 suicide fighters from near Hiroshima was shot down near Shimonoseki by a group of Hellcats and lightning before they could launch an attack on the Kasuma transport ships in the Tsushima Strait. What's more, the Japanese, who could not grasp air supremacy, still maintained a psychological advantage in their hearts, hoping to teach the Chinese an unforgettable lesson with their powerful navy.
It's a pity that the unforgettable lesson fell on the heads of the Japanese first.
When 3 battleships and 5 aircraft carriers, 9 cruisers and more than 30 destroyers of the Huaxia army appeared in front of the Japanese, the Japanese did not react for a while.
"The battleship in front of you, isn't it a Chinese one?" Takasu Shiro couldn't believe his eyes for a while, looking at the information of the third-class dreadnought-class super battleship coming from the opposite side, he couldn't help but have a thought in his heart, "When did the Shina Navy become so powerful?" ”
"I'm afraid our intelligence isn't very accurate!" Yoshizo Tanaka, who was next to him, could only explain like this.
The Japanese tried their best to collect the information, but they could not even grasp the target as large as a battleship, and it can only be said that they were a little derelict in their duties. According to the analysis of the intelligence from the Zero seaplane, the three battleships of the Huaxia Navy in front were two second-class dreadnought Zhenyuan class and one third-class dreadnought dream class. In addition to not matching those Bismarck-class and Richelieu-class battleships, it is obviously far from the movements of the Huaxia battleships obtained by Japanese intelligence.
Kenji Dohihara could only pinch his voice and sing Dou E's injustice, the information sent by the intelligence officers of their development in China was indeed not wrong, what was wrong was that the Japanese had always been brainless to think that there were only these 6 battleships in China.
Not to mention the German-class pocket battleships that Meng Xiang had converted into an air defense fortress early, Huaxia already had 7 battleships, and now, 5 new battleships have been added to the ranks of battleships of the Huaxia Navy, breaking through the single digits.
Although aircraft carriers began to show great power, battleships were still not old enough to launch on the stage of history. Through the landing operations in Lushun, Vladivostok, Taiwan, and even Australia, Meng Xiang experienced the power of the cannons of giant ships, as long as there are no more loopholes in the air, battleships are still an invincible deterrent comparable to nuclear bombs.
Considering future operations, Meng Xiang successively produced 5 more battleships, including 3 Dreadnought-class, one H-class battleship, and one Montana-class battleship.
In addition to the whereabouts of the latter two ships that need to be kept secret, the other three ships are involved in the attack on Kyushu Island.
They were accompanied by two Midway-class aircraft carriers and three Red Alert aircraft carriers.
The convenience of Red Alert weapons is more suitable for this type of difficult battle.
But even Meng Xiang didn't expect that this task was a little less arduous, and it was unbelievably easy.
……
"Attack!" Takasu Shiro hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to attack Huaxia's escort fleet.
It's a pity that their whereabouts have long been on the detection of the Kirov airship suspended in the air.
Before the Japanese acted, the order for a series of attacks was already transmitted. Without waiting for the Chinese battleships to strike, the bombers and torpedo planes on the surrounding escort aircraft carriers attacked first.
And the anti-aircraft firepower of these old Japanese battleships, which barely grew at all, faced with the rushing group of aircraft, immediately became tragic.
