readx; There are many reasons why the 71st Squadron is unable to send a large number of fighters to fight in a short period of time, on the one hand, the 7th Mobile Fleet received the news of the air attack too late, and the other is very important, that is, the 73rd Squadron is too far away from the 71st Squadron, and the reason why this arrangement was made was to ensure the absolute safety of the two aircraft carriers of the 71st Fleet, so the 73rd Squadron was allowed to take the lead, which also caused the 73rd Squadron to be attacked. The carrier-based aircraft of the 71st Squadron could not go to support in time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 At the same time, it was just at the setting time, and the F15 fighters of the 71st Squadron did not have the ability to fight at night now, and they were originally going to take off the fighters on duty after recovering the last batch of fighters on duty.

Minute by minute!

At 6:37 p.m., there was a sudden violent explosion from the Zisong, which was hit by a torpedo fired by a German torpedo boat.

Although Hong Ronghan in the joint operations room was in control of the entire situation on the surface, he was not the commander of the Zisong, and he could not understand the situation faced by the Zisong at that time.

At the beginning of the incident, in order to avoid a misfire, the Zisong delayed for several minutes to ask the other party's information, and this is how the opponent's torpedo boat had already advanced in these few minutes, and then when the Zisong found more torpedo boats, the German torpedo boats had already fired torpedoes in a volley at a long distance.

More than a dozen torpedoes fanned out towards the Zimatsu, causing the Zimatsu to have no room to dodge, and in the end, although it dodged most of the torpedoes, it was still hit.

With the huge power of the torpedo, it was not at all that the destroyer with a displacement of only 3,000 tons could resist, only one hit, and this one did not hit any ammunition depot or other vital points, but it still caused great trauma to the Zisong, and the large influx of sea water in just a few minutes caused the deck of the Zisong to sink into the sea.

On the bridge of the Zisong, Lieutenant Colonel Pei and several other officers of the Zisong, at this moment Lieutenant Colonel Pei's face did not have a look of anxiety, as a naval officer, he had been taught from the day he entered the Nanjing Naval Officer School that he must remain calm no matter what the situation.

Not only him, but in fact, most of the naval officers seemed to be ruthless in battle, and did not care about the casualties of the sailors around them. In an anti-aircraft battle or an artillery battle between light ships, the naval officers who stay on the open deck to direct the anti-aircraft guns or unprotected secondary guns are absolutely able to ignore the explosion of enemy shells around them and the blood on the deck.

The battle between warships, especially light warships, is actually more brutal than the battle between the army or the air force, such as lightning strikes and anti-lightning strikes between light ships, cruisers and destroyers on both sides are tilting ammunition back and forth towards each other, and these light ships are generally low in protection, and even the artillery belongs to the kind without turret protection, that is to say, their battles are directly exposed to enemy fire.

It might be described as a battle between them, in which both sides stand with machine guns in hand and shoot at each other until the other is killed by themselves.

So almost every naval battle in which such a battle took place, the destroyers and light cruisers that participated in the battle were covered with blood on the deck, and the entire battleship was covered with bullet holes of all sizes.

In anti-aircraft operations, too, anti-aircraft artillery is deployed in the open air and has no protection, and if it is hit by an enemy's aerial bomb, it will cause many casualties among the members of the anti-aircraft artillery crew.

Lieutenant Colonel Pei looked at the officers beside him, looked at the deck that had been submerged by the sea, and then said calmly: "The herald orders to abandon the ship immediately!" ”

Although Lieutenant Colonel Pei had abandoned the ship, the speed at which the Zisong sank was so fast that many of the officers and men on board did not have enough time to escape.

In less than five minutes, the Zisong sank!

And Hong Ronghan on the Hindu clenched his fists when he learned of this!

The German torpedo boats quickly fled after firing their torpedoes, and only three of the eight German torpedo boats that arrived escaped, and the other five were sunk by the Zisong and the other destroyers of the 73rd Squadron that arrived later. However, although five torpedo boats were sunk, the Germans made a lot of money in exchange for one Zisong.

The torpedo boats of the Germans are gone, but the planes of the Germans are coming again!

The 73rd Division, which had already deployed a close air defense formation, faced the approach of the Luftwaffe planes, first the large-caliber six-inch high-level dual-purpose guns carried out long-distance interception and fire, and then the five-inch high-level dual-purpose guns also joined the pace of interception and fire.

And it didn't take long for the first German plane to be shot down, and after the first, there was a second.

Immediately afterwards, the 75-mm anti-aircraft guns, which are the backbone of the air defense of the Chinese naval fleet, opened fire one after another, and these 75-mm anti-aircraft guns, under the guidance of the fire control radar, have achieved fully automatic shooting, and the accuracy is more accurate than the five-inch and six-inch guns.

The results were also greater than those of large-caliber anti-aircraft artillery.

As the Germans fell one after another, the German air attack aircraft group also got closer and closer, and when the German planes got closer, the 40-mm anti-aircraft guns and 20-mm anti-aircraft guns, which were used as an air defense line, also opened fire one after another.

The interception of the three layers of air defense networks in the far, middle and near areas launched countless anti-aircraft shells in a short period of time. At this time, it was getting late, and from a distance, you could clearly see the 73rd Squadron spraying countless tongues of fire into the air, anti-aircraft shells as if they didn't want money, and the light of the bombs, the fire after the explosion of the shells, and the explosion of the German plane when it was hit, staged an extremely expensive fireworks display over the sea.

It is so gorgeous that even the 1944 Nanjing New Year fireworks show, which is known as the grandest of this century, is far behind.

At the same time that the 73rd Squadron fired countless anti-aircraft shells at the German aircraft group, in a German bomber in the air, the huge twin-engine bomber was loaded with only one bomb, and after the bomb throwing order was issued, the bomb compartment door in the belly of the aircraft was opened, and then an aerial bomb weighing thousands of pounds was dropped, this aerial bomb is different from the traditional aerial bomb, and if there are people from the Chinese Navy here, they will definitely be surprised, Because this aerial bomb looks very much like a TV-guided bomb that the Chinese Navy put into actual combat only last year.

As the TV bomb was dropped, several German soldiers were nervously staring at a monitor in the bomb control room on the plane, and one of the German soldiers was carefully controlling the dropped guided bomb to run under the 73rd Fleet.

And the target, directed at the largest battleship in the fleet, is the Hindu!

The Germans actually developed guided bombs not much slower than China, and they also developed early guided bombs with visual wireless guidance, followed by television-guided bombs. However, the German TV-guided bombs, like the early development of the Chinese Navy, were extremely unreliable and very easy to jam, and the Chinese Navy spent several years to solve the problem, and it was not until 1944 that the TV-guided bombs were initially solved and put into actual combat.

As for Germany, I don't know where they got some of the technical information of China's TV-guided bombs to improve their own TV-guided bombs, so that the reliability and anti-jamming of their TV-guided bombs have greatly increased, at least for the time being, the radio jamming equipment of the 73rd Squadron has not affected their bombing operations.

It is not so easy to put an end to the leakage of information on advanced military equipment; if it is a nuclear bomb or a strategic bomber, these are fine, but because of the small number, the deployment places are all top secrets, and it is very difficult to leak them out, but it is very difficult to achieve true secrecy for those conventional equipment that are equipped in large quantities. In addition, all countries are closely watching the development of China's various advanced military equipment, and if they can't get information from the military, they will go directly to those defense contractors to get information indirectly.

Not to mention this small area of TV-guided bombs, even the F12 fighter jet, a national weapon, there are some leaks, 10,000 steps back to say that even if people can't get detailed technical information, but just a shape of the aerodynamic layout is enough to bring a lot of inspiration to the development of jet aircraft in various countries.

When China's F12 fighter jets entered service, it was as if the world had become popular overnight with jet swept wing single-engine fighters. The Americans not only wanted to change the F80 jet to a swept wing, but also launched the research and development project of the F86 fighter, and the aerodynamic layout of the F86 was simply a copy of the F12 fighter, and even the angle of the swept wing was the same. Even the Germans have redesigned the TA183 they are developing based on the aerodynamic shape of the Chinese F12, preparing to use the TA183 fighter as the successor to other fighters such as the ME261. However, in 1945, the jet engine strength of the Germans was actually far behind China and the United States, and they could only come up with engines with a thrust of 1,300 kilograms, which led to the TA183 Although it imitated the shape of the F12 fighter, it was much smaller as a whole, and the maximum take-off weight was only more than four tons. It is the smallest of the latest jet fighters developed by various countries today, and the range is very short.

With the Germans' many years of experience in jet aircraft, despite the serious lack of engine thrust, the TA183 has reached a very good flight ability, with a maximum flight speed of 955 kilometers per hour, and the ceiling has reached 14,000 kilometers.

To a certain extent, after the F12 fighter of the Chinese Air Force was put into service, it brought a great shock to major countries, and it is almost an exaggeration to say that it has set off a revolution in jet fighters.

China can't stop other countries from following the trend and copying it, but there will be a very embarrassing situation, that is, countries will soon learn and copy China's advanced military equipment and use it against China.

The television-guided bombs dropped by the Germans today are a clear example of this.

Many anti-aircraft guns on the Hindu were still spraying shells, and at the same time, the Hindu had already launched its maximum combat speed to evade the air defense, drawing a distinct S-shaped wave on the sea surface at a speed of up to 32 knots.

The Hindu had a combat displacement of 15,000 tons, but it was equipped with only 12 six-inch guns. And this tonnage was placed in the past, that is, a proper heavy patrol tonnage, and at least it had to be equipped with more than six eight-inch main guns. And since this cruiser is used as an air defense cruiser, its only mission is to accompany the aircraft carrier battle group for maneuver operations and serve as air defense missions, in order to keep up with the speed of the aircraft carrier, it is equipped with a power crew of up to 100,000 horsepower, so that the battleship can gallop at a maximum speed of 33 knots.

In terms of tonnage, this cruiser is actually not as many as the Worcester-class cruisers with the same tactical positioning in the US Navy, and the Worcester-class air defense cruisers of the US Navy have a standard displacement of nearly 15,000 tons and a combat displacement of up to 18,000 tons.

However, this is also the result of the difference in the design concept of the Chinese and American navies for artillery and air defense ships, the Chinese Navy does not look at the fact that he has built so many ships, but in fact it has much less funds than the US Navy, so it pays more attention to the surname-price ratio in building ships. In addition, in recent years, the navy has invested heavily in aircraft carriers in order to confront the United States, which can free up less funds for the construction of cruisers and other large ships, this warship is a penny, the greater the tonnage, the higher the cost, plus the Chinese Navy does not expect the Xing'an-class cruisers to fight against any heavy cruisers and the like, as long as they can meet the air defense task, it is enough, plus the service of the new air defense system, so the tonnage is limited to death.

In addition to aircraft carriers, in fact, most of the other ships of the Chinese Navy have this kind of consideration, from the surname of a single ship, it is not the world's top, the most obvious embodiment is the Chinese Navy's large cruisers, whether it is the Fuxi class or the Yangtze River class, are only more than 20,000 tons. However, the Alaska class in the United States is nearly 30,000 tons, and the speed is lower than that of the Alaskan family. So the Americans' Alaskan large cruisers can claim to be chasing the King Kong class, but the Chinese Yangtze River class is not.

But the cost of the two is also very different.

In the history of shipbuilding in the Chinese Navy, they have never pursued the surname energy too much, and the surname price ratio is what they pursue.

Today's Hindu is carrying out S-shaped air defense maneuvers at a speed of more than 30 knots, and around the Hindu, a number of water columns have been set off one after another, which are caused by bombs dropped by German planes.

In this sortie, the Germans did not match torpedo planes, but except for the escort fighters, most of them were dive bombers, but in fact, these dive bombers were used to interfere with China's anti-aircraft fire. The real killer feature of the Germans was actually the twin-engine horizontal bomber that flew high in the air and seemed to pose little of a threat.

The TV-guided bombs they dropped were what they really relied on.
