Chapter 935: Battle Plan No. 1
readx; Because they collected the only remaining heavy oil for ships in the country, they were able to raise enough fuel for the fleet's one-way voyage, and even if they didn't sink, they would have no fuel to let them come back. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After many years of war, China's oil consumption has been kept at a very high level, and China's oil supply to China was also limited before, in order to avoid himself hoarding a large amount of oil, so at the beginning of this year, after China cut off the absolute oil supply of China, coupled with the blockade of the Nanyang region, the oil supply of China has suddenly become extremely tight, and after half a year of war with China, he has used up the only remaining oil reserves.
Even if there is no restriction on fuel, it is said that this sortie of this navy is destined to go and never return!'
Because the Chinese Navy has concentrated almost most of the strength of the Chinese Navy in the western part of Kyushu Island, in the Benhai Sea, and in the Tsushima Strait, the more than 20 aircraft carriers and hundreds of cruisers and destroyers are not at all capable of resisting the remnants of the current Honko.
After many years of war, especially in the last six months, we have faced many strangulations by the Chinese and US navies, and it is said that "the vast majority of our navy's capital ships, including aircraft carriers and battleships, have already sunk in battle, and they are not counted in the Nanyang theater." If you only count it in the direction of the mainland, I said, "The only new battleship that I can use now is the Yamato-class Musashi, and this Musashi is also in a damaged state, and the No. 3 turret on it has not been able to be repaired and replaced after it was destroyed in an air raid launched by the Chinese Navy."
He said, "Of the four Yamato-class high-speed battleships built and commissioned before and during World War II, the Yamato and Shinano were sunk by the Chinese Navy, while the Owari was sunk by the U.S. Navy while fighting in the South Seas, and even the Musashi was seriously damaged.
The other three battle cruisers were also sunk one by one.
The other old battleships were either sunk or damaged and were unable to fight, and only one of the Mutsu was able to take on the battle with a relatively minor injury.
In addition to the battleships, there are only two aircraft carriers that I can mobilize, one is the Bird Sea and the other is the Yunlong. The other large fleet aircraft carriers have been sunk one after another, and the Shipho, Ibuki, Shozuru, Zuizuru, Feilong, Soryu, Maya, and other naval commanders of various countries are familiar to them, and the fleet aircraft carriers that made great contributions to this in World War II have been sunk by China and the United States one after another. Among them, the Ibuki is the most tragic, because it was not sunk in the naval battle, but was sunk by the Chinese Navy after the air raid in the port, although it is said that it only sinks in the port and exposes most of the ship's island, which can be salvaged and repaired and can continue to be used, but now it is said that "I still have enough time and energy to salvage the Ibuki, and even if it is salvaged, there is no shipyard to repair her, because those shipyards have now been reduced to ruins in China's intensive bombardment."
It is also the Sasebo Military Port, which has been bombed beyond sight many times in the past, and Teraoka Jinhei stood on the Musashi, and his line of sight was the dense variety of warships in the port, as well as the many shipwrecks in the harbor that exposed the shipyard!
"Your Excellency, you're all set!" One of the next to him said, "This naval officer walked up to the side of Temple Gang Jinping and whispered.
"Now that you're ready, let's go!" Teragang Jinhei spoke, but did not pay attention to everyone, but looked at the land on the shore again, and said, "The land of this one."
This time, I will never be able to see the land and fireworks again, so I can see it more now!
On the first day of China's landing, it said: "This navy quickly issued an order to dispatch the navy to intercept it, and according to the 'No. 1 Operational Plan,' that is, the anti-landing plan for the defense of the homeland, it said: "This navy is ready to dispatch all the remaining warships to launch a decisive attack on the Chinese landing fleet, in an attempt to inflict heavy damage or even destroy a large number of ships in the Chinese landing fleet, so as to achieve the goal of encircling the mainland."
However, the Chinese navy naturally did not let this happen at the landing site, and the main fleet of the Second Mobile Fleet had been cruising in the waters west of Kyushu Island, and a large number of carrier-based aircraft were dispatched to carry out fierce air raids on Sasebo and other military ports that day and yesterday.
By the time the only remaining sortie ships in the harbor had filled the steam boilers with steam, it was six days in the evening, and the weather had already darkened.
Because China's naval aviation is so strong during the day, even a suicide attack on Teraoka Jinhei would not dare to attack during the day, and only by attacking at night can the ubiquitous Chinese carrier-based aircraft be avoided. Moreover, in the case of night battles, Teraoka Jinhei pondered that even if he was unlucky, he should be able to achieve a certain number of results, thereby relieving the huge pressure on the ground troops.
It would be even better if we could get close to Dangjin, so that we would be able to destroy the large number of transport ships and landing troops and all kinds of supplies that China had gathered in Dangjin in one fell swoop.
And what he didn't know was that outside the Sasebo Military Port, many medium [***] ships were monitoring Teraoka Jinhei's fleet!
Even when his fleet had just sailed out of port, a Chinese submarine close to the reconnaissance quickly reported the news, and then the Second Mobile Fleet, the Fourth Submarine Fleet, and other units of the Navy were all nervous and busy.
Since the Fifth Mobile Fleet was now deployed in the Tsushima Strait and the Honkai area, and the Second Mobile Fleet was located in the waters northwest of Kyushu Island, the Chinese Navy's largest task force moved quickly.
In order to avoid indifferent losses, the aircraft carriers have already retreated to the north at high speed, and the few capital ships of the Chinese Navy, the Yandi, the Yellow Emperor, and the four large cruisers have been urgently assembled. In addition to these capital ships, there are dozens of destroyers and cruisers for auxiliary missions, and a large number of submarines along the way for reconnaissance and even night raids.
Although the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aviation is awesome and coaxing, shouting that it is the first in the world! However, the battleship force of the Chinese Navy is really not good, and it is at the bottom of several major naval powers, and since the outbreak of the war, it has always been able to rely on the support of the old battleships built in the twenties, although these four battleships have undergone many modifications in their service life for more than 20 years, and their surnames have been much higher than the place of service, but they still cannot change the fact that they are old battleships.
In the early stage of China's declaration of war, in the Amami naval battle that broke out between China and the two countries, the aging hulls of Chinese battleships and the weak protection of Chinese battleships were exposed, and the Yandi and Huangdi that participated in the war were severely damaged and repaired in the shipyard for more than three months before returning to the battlefield.
In contrast, his four Yamato-class high-speed battleships and the Americans' Iowa battleships are much more powerful, although the four Yamato-class battleships have been eliminated, but each of them was sunk with difficulty after many blows, and the Chinese and U.S. navies paid a huge price to sink them.
In the history of the Navy today, it is said that the Yamato-class high-speed battleships of the United States and the Iowa high-speed battleships of the United States are second to none in all aspects, far surpassing other types of battleships.
Although they are far inferior to these two new battleships in terms of combat effectiveness, among a large number of old battleships, China's two battleships are quite good, and the Yandi class can be ranked in the second echelon with several other 40,000-ton battleships of the British and American countries, and the Yaodi class can barely reach the end of the second echelon.
In addition, there are only four battleships of the Chinese Navy, which are naturally used very frequently, and they can be seen in every major battle, and this time they are landing on the land, whether it is to bomb the land or to resist the night attack of the capital ship of the Chinese Navy, the role of these four battleships is irreplaceable.
However, on the day of landing, the Shundi was seriously injured by his suicide plane and was forced to return to the port of Busan for a short period of repairs, so there were only three battleships available in the Chinese Navy that night.
In addition, there are four large cruisers!
The performance of large cruisers in the many naval battles of China and Yuben can only be said to be average, and it is far from meeting the expectations of the Navy for them!
However, this has to be said to be problematic with the admirals in the way they used these large cruisers! According to the design idea of large cruisers, they were used as the main force of artillery warfare on the secondary front and the backbone of air defense in the fleet.
However, there is a huge gap between reality and ideals, because the number of Chinese battleships is too small, and he is not stupid, he will not go out with China in broad daylight to seek death, and be killed by the dead kites of China's carrier-based air forces, he said: "The strategy of this navy in this regard is to conduct a night battle and give full play to the superiority of their battleships and the superiority of their lightning strike forces." Even if it is said in the night battle, 'This navy also does not have much advantage, but it is better than being beaten during the day and not fighting back.'
Under such circumstances, the Chinese navy has also become very passive, because if the navy wants to support the landing force and launch a bombing campaign on the mainland, it must be close to the coastal areas of the country, and this also gives the island the opportunity to launch a night attack.
And in every large-scale naval battle, such as tonight, the admirals on the front line will arrange large cruisers to participate in a duel of fleet artillery with battleships!
It's not that they don't know the arrival of the defense capabilities of these large cruisers, and they can't bear even a single sixteen-inch shell, but almost every admiral who commands the battle on the front line can't give up the firepower of those twelve-inch guns on the large cruisers!
Even if the caliber is smaller, it is at least a large-caliber naval gun, and its power is comparable to that of those old 14-inch naval guns, which can effectively enhance the firepower of the battlefleet and share the pressure on the battleships.
Large cruisers, which were originally designed to serve only as secondary fronts, artillery battles, and air defense missions, were frequently thrown into duels between capital ships! As a result, the Shaohao sank, and the Pearl River was severely damaged, and it is still being repaired in the domestic shipyard.
This situation is the same as the British during World War I when they also incorporated the battle cruisers into the battlefleet to participate in the fleet duel, not because they did not know that the protection of the battlecruisers was fragile, but because they could not give up the allure of the powerful naval guns on the battlecruisers.
Tonight, the Chinese Navy once again used the large cruiser as a battleship, and incorporated it into the main fleet, preparing to cooperate with three battleships to intercept the night attack fleet of the Chinese navy.
However, it wasn't these capital ships that first appeared, but submarines!
