Chapter 748: Sasebo Naval Base
The Qinhuangdao Shipyard is also stepping up efforts to manufacture missile destroyers, and the six shipbuilding canals of the Qinhuangdao Shipyard are busy, and the six "Zhao Yun-class" missile destroyers are also stepping up to start manufacturing.
At the same time, the Qinhuangdao shipyard is nearing completion of two new ship canals, where the construction of a newly designed 1,500-ton missile frigate will begin, and each canal can accommodate the construction of two or three missile frigates at the same time.
The main task of the Qinhuangdao shipyard is to create missile destroyers and missile frigates.
Zhang Yunfei returned from inspection and again focused his energies on operations against the Japanese mainland; at present, the number of troops that have landed on the Japanese mainland has reached four whole groups, and in the next stage, the two group armies assembled in Shanghai will also board ships and set off to prepare for the landing of Sasebo on the northwest coast of Japan's Kyushu Island.
The Sasebo Military Port, an important port in Japan, fell into the eyes of Zhang Yunfei, who had already ordered the 6th and 11th Armies to march in the direction of Sasebo, with the task of occupying the Sasebo Military Port.
The 6th Army and the 11th Army fighting in Japan are attacking westward, and these two armies are attacking smoothly, and they have completely occupied Kumamoto Prefecture in Japan in the past few days.
The port of Sasebo belongs to the port of Nagasaki Prefecture in Japan and is an important naval base of the Combined Fleet of the Japanese Navy. According to reconnaissance planes, some warships of the small Japanese Navy were also docked in the harbor.
Of course, the big warships of the little devils, such as battleships, cruisers, etc., were fighting with the American forces in the Pacific Ocean and did not dock at the Sasebo naval base.
Sasebo Port is located on the northwest coast of Kyushu Island and is a major point of communication between the Yellow Sea and the Sea of Japan. The choke point of the Korean Strait was historically Japan's advance base to the Asian continent, and its strategic location was very important.
Sasebo Bay, the bay is long and deep, and it is a natural harbor.
Sasebo was originally a deserted village. It was established as a military base at the beginning of the Meiji era. In 1886, it was established as a naval town guard, and later developed into a military port. The city was established in 1902. During Japan's war of aggression against China and World War II, it was an important base for Japan's foreign expansion.
Sasebo Bay is 10 kilometers deep into the land, the mouth of the bay is 800 meters wide, the water area is 39.6 square kilometers, and the water depth is 10~30 meters. Surrounded by mountains. The large and small islands inside and outside the bay are dotted around, which is a natural harbor for ships to gather in concealment.
Such an important port, Zhang Yunfei has long been eyeing it, there was no chance before, but now. With the four major armies fighting in Japan, everything went well, and the opportunity came.
June 15th.
Today is a rare good weather, Sasebo Naval Base, many little devils are basking in the sun, today, the entire Sasebo military port seems relatively empty, there are few warships in the huge military port, and the warships of the little devils have gone to the Pacific theater.
The entire military port. There were only a few small warships, and in addition, there were some large supply ships and transport ships of the little devils, and the whole military port looked even more empty.
The entire Sasebo naval base, although there are not many warships moored. However, there are quite a few little devils, at least tens of thousands of little devils, and these troops include the guard troops of the little devils. air defense forces, as well as a number of service personnel responsible for the supply of the fleet.
The entire Sasebo Naval Base includes the Sasebo Military Port, the Sasebo Shipbuilding Base, etc., and the Sebo Naval Base is both one of Japan's traditional shipbuilding bases and once one of the military ports of the old Japanese Navy.
The base has a water area of more than 40 million square meters, can berth more than 90 ships, has 5 shipyards and 4 docks, and can repair and build large ships.
There was a loose atmosphere in the entire naval base, the main force of the Little Devil Wing fleet had already left here, and only some second-rate troops of the small Japanese Navy were left here, and the battle was not strong and the morale was not high.
The Japanese Navy's successive defeats and retreats, and the fact that the Japanese Navy's battleship "Yamato" was sunk by the Chinese fleet not long ago dealt a big blow to the Japanese Navy.
If it weren't for the fact that the little Japanese emperor was still ordering the whole of Japan to continue to resist, it might be that many little devils would probably lay down their arms and surrender, and many little devils would have lost the will to resist.
A radar soldier at the Sasebo Naval Base is listlessly staring at his radar, which is an anti-aircraft radar with a radar wavelength of 1.5 meters, with a power of 25-30 kilowatts, which can detect a fleet at a distance of 120 kilometers and a single aircraft at a distance of 70 kilometers. The angular error is large.
Such a radar is basically unreliable, but it is such a radar, and the little devil navy is not equipped much, even the "Yamato" battleship of the little devil is not equipped with such a radar.
During this period of time, the radar has been normal, not a single plane of the Chinese army has been found, and the little devil radar soldiers are also absent-minded and demoralized.
Suddenly, the radar sounded the "drip, drip" siren, and the little devil's radar soldiers immediately stared closely at the radar, and the little devil found that about 80 or 90 kilometers away from him, there was a small group of planes flying towards his naval base.
Could it be their own plane?
The little devil radar soldier hesitated a little, but after thinking about it for a while, he still reported the situation to a little devil Shaozuo, and the little devil Shaozo verified that this was not his own plane, this was an enemy plane.
Suddenly, the entire Sasebo Naval Base sounded a terrible siren, and the little devils suddenly became agitated, and many little devils began to prepare for air defense.
There are three main types of anti-aircraft weapons at the Little Devil Naval Base, one is an anti-aircraft machine gun, one is a 25-mm anti-aircraft cannon, and the other is a 127-mm caliber anti-aircraft gun.
Type 96 60 x diameter 25 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns, the entire Sasebo naval base is equipped with 48 guns, 16 triple mounts, all with shields. 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.
Type 89 40x diameter 127 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns, the entire Sasebo naval base is equipped with 24 guns, 12 twin mounts, all 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.
The air defense of the entire Sasebo naval base is still relatively strong, with a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns in the low-altitude defense, and quite a few 25-mm anti-aircraft guns and 127-mm anti-aircraft guns in the high-altitude defense.
The radar showed the appearance of a small group of planes, about twenty aircraft, and it was necessary to find out that for a small number of aircraft, the radar accuracy of the imp was not enough, and it was impossible to figure it out, and it was only possible for these planes to fly a few dozen kilometers.
A lot of little devils began to prepare for air defense, the little devil's anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, pointed to the sky together, after a short period of panic, the little devils finally quieted down, especially some little devils saw their own large number of anti-aircraft guns, and gradually had confidence.
Some of the little devil officers also seemed to be full of confidence, and the other side was only a small group of planes, and these little devil officers were confident that they would shoot down these planes.
"Your Excellency! This time it must be a Chinese army plane, but I don't know, how did such a small number of planes of the Chinese army come towards our naval base? ”
The little devil Da Zuo laughed and said happily: "It must be that these planes of the Chinese army have lost their way and crashed headlong into our naval base." ”
In this era, planes are disoriented, which is a common thing, especially in the absence of radar navigation, it is even more normal to lose their way, and the little devil Dazuo also thought that these planes were disoriented and flew to their base by mistake.
All around, several little devil officers also laughed, they didn't expect that there was such a good thing, and the plane took the initiative to send it to the door.
Some ordinary little devils were still demoralized, but when they heard that these planes were sent to the door, these little devils also swept away their previous decadence, and they were immediately in good spirits.
The little devils' air defense weapons were aimed at the sky, and the little devils stared intently at the sky, waiting for these planes to come to the door, and the little devils planned to shoot down all of them.
As the minutes ticked by, the dozen planes finally came over and appeared in the sight of the little devils, these were 16 "Super Flying Fortress" bombers.
This "Super Flying Fortress" bomber group is not lost, this time everyone has come specifically to bomb the Sasebo naval base of the little devils.
The little devils also saw the planes in the sky, but these planes flew at a very high altitude, and many little devil officers saw this, and picked up their binoculars one after another, and only saw a little more clearly through the telescopes, and the little devils found that these planes were huge bombers.
Suddenly, quite a few little devil officers felt a strong sense of unease, and these little devil officers knew that they were afraid that these planes had not lost their way and crashed into the sky above their own naval bases, and that they were afraid that these planes had come to bomb their own naval bases.
"Yaga! It's really an aircraft of the Chinese army! ”
The little devil Dazuo also shouted uneasily, the little devil Dazuo stared at the planes in the sky, at such a high altitude, the little devil Dazuo knew that even if it was a 40 times diameter 127 mm caliber anti-aircraft gun, he was afraid that he would not be able to hit these planes.
The flight altitude of the "Super Flying Fortress" bombers is very high, and the flight altitude of these planes is 30,000 feet, that is, an altitude of about 10,000 meters, and at such an altitude, the 127-mm caliber anti-aircraft guns of the little devils will definitely not be able to hit.
