961, crazy air combat
Dragon City, the capital of the Republic of Lan Phuong, is 900 kilometers away from the Barrow Military Port to the west.
Bai Shujie arrived here by special plane overnight, only to find that the rescue ships of the Third Fleet had already begun to salvage the wreckage of the enemy submarine, and some debris had already been made.
After six hours of continuous salvage by the rescue ship, some wreckage was finally found, allowing Bai Shujie to piece together a piece of the appearance of the submarine, and as the tail of a submarine was salvaged, cold sweat broke out all over her body.
It was not a torpedo that sank a target ship and destroyed a deep-water dock, but a "human mine."
In fact, there is no term "human thunder" in the world, but Bai Shujie named this weapon of the little devil "human thunder".
The so-called man-torpedo, the real name should be called the "Huitian" torpedo submarine, the length of the boat is about 3.4 meters, the shape is basically similar to the normal torpedo, but the volume is slightly larger, the structure is very simple.
The entire torpedo submarine is divided into three parts: front, middle and rear:
At the front is the explosives compartment, filled with 1.5 tons of high explosives, plus a set of contact instantaneous fuse devices, connected to the middle cockpit. The rear part is the engine qรฌ cabin, which is generally equipped with one main and one secondary diesel engine. In the middle is the driver's cockpit, and because the front compartment is so charged, the cockpit is very cramped, and only one person can sit curled up.
The cabin was equipped with a steering wheel that could be used to maneuver the torpedo boat, a periscope to capture targets, and a few necessary instruments.
As soon as the kamikaze enters the cockpit, the hatch is watertight and cannot be opened. Therefore, once the "Huitian" torpedo is launched, it can only move forward, and when it discovers the target, it will die with the target.
The torpedo submarine is actually a torpedo meat bomb with people, so Bai Shujie called it a "human mine".
This kind of torpedo is controlled by a large living person inside, so it can cope with very complex maneuvers, and it is really lethal.
But Bai Shujie clearly remembers that if you follow a fixed historical trajectory, the little devil should have adopted this crazy attack method in 1944.
It's only May 1943 now, a full year ahead of history, is it that the little devil can't carry it anymore?
Of course, Bai Shujie knows that historical data is the most unreliable.
According to the information of the previous life, "In July 1944, the 2nd machine was completed in the trial machine, and on the 1st day of the same year, the official adoption of the machine. 11ๆ8ๆฅใซๅใใฆๅฎๆฆใซๆๅ ฅใใใใ ็ฆใพใงใซ420ๆบใๅถใใใใ โ
In July 1944, two ships were completed and officially incorporated into the assembly on August 1. That means that research must have started before that, and then it was able to be produced, and 420 ships were finally produced.
It can be seen that the little devil has been fully mentally prepared for his complete defeat from top to bottom.
Moreover, Bai Shujie believes that Hideki Tojo and others should be ready to die together by mid-1943 at the latest.
This is because the little devils have not only developed "torpedo submarines," but have also developed and produced a large number of special "special attack and death" equipment for the army, navy, and air force.
On July 24, 1944, the Army and Navy Headquarters of the base camp issued the "Guiding Outline for Future Operations of the Army and Navy," which put forward the policy of "swearing to destroy the enemy's aircraft carriers and transport ships," and for the first time formed the concept of special offensive operations.
Combined with the tactical idea of fighting bayonets with its own soldiers, the army believed that the army should also have a group of troops that fought hand-to-hand with the enemy's navy. Therefore, a "hand-to-hand combat attack boat" was specially developed and claimed to be a liaison boat.
This type of boat is 5.6 meters long, 1.5 tons displacement, 70 horsepower, 23 knots, and 3.5 hours.
This guy did not have any armament, that is, 250 kg of TNT explosives, and there was no launcher. It is a one-man operation, and he strapped himself to the bridge and directly hit the target, striving for the same end, and a total of more than 3,000 ships were produced.
However, in August, the Army organized the 1st to 10th teams to advance on the sea, and since then it has reached the scale of more than 50 teams. Each Maritime Advance Brigade has 3 squadrons and 100 single-man special attack boats.
Even if there are only ten teams, that is 1,000 "hand-to-hand assault boats".
If the little devil can produce 1,000 "hand-to-hand assault boats" in half a month, although they are all wood products, how can such a strong production capacity not be able to hold on?
At the very least, 1,000 "hand-to-hand assault boats" require 1,000 submarine pilots, and they must also be daredevils who can drive a submarine alone to ram an American warship in the vast sea.
Moreover, the post-war situation showed that the little devils produced 3,000 "hand-to-hand attack boats", 420 "torpedo submarines" and hundreds of aircraft of "kamikaze" at once.
Could it be that the little devils are all geniuses who can fly submarines and airplanes without training?
Because of this, Bai Shujie believes that the base camp of the little devil was actually planning to form the "Air Force Special Attack Team", "Navy Special Attack Team", and "Army Special Attack Team" very early on.
The "kamikaze" belongs to the Air Force, and the "hand-to-hand assault boats" belong to the Army.
The "Huitian" torpedo submarine, the "Zhenyang" suicide torpedo boat, the Hailong and Jiaolong suicide submarines, and the I-400 submarine belong to the navy.
Bai Shujie believes that whether it is Hideki Tojo, or those ministers of the military department, or the front-line high-level commanders on the battlefield, they cannot be ignorant of Japan's declining trend and weakening day by day.
At the same time, they also know what will happen to them if they are defeated. Rather than being hanged by others, it is better to die together.
Bai Shujie believes that since at least 1943, Hideki Tojo and others have been thinking about how to deal with the aftermath in the event of defeat.
It's just that what Bai Shujie didn't expect was that the little devil's sea death squad was the first to take a knife on himself!
Moreover, the salvaged wreckage shows that this should be the little devil who regarded himself as a real object, and verified the power of the "torpedo submarine" through actual combat.
was used as an experiment by the little Japanese devil, Bai Shujie was really angry. Very angry, very angry.
However, before Bai Shujie could really get angry, something that made him even more angry finally happened.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, Bai Shujie was holding a meeting at the Navy Headquarters to study the deployment of coastal defense work when a terrible siren suddenly remembered.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief: The radar has spotted two large groups of aircraft that are splitting up towards Kuching Port and our Barrow Military Port. The current distance is 70 nautical miles and the speed is 680 kilometers per hour. โ
Navy Commander Zhang Bingyang suddenly roared: "The carrier-based aircraft will take off immediately to intercept!" โ
The third and fourth fleets are stationed at the Barrow Military Port, which are personally controlled by Zhang Bingyang, the commander of the Admiralty, and belong to the last maritime deterrent force around Bai Shujie.
The third aircraft carrier fleet: 1 Daqin 804 Ark Royal aircraft carrier, 72 supersonic J-9 fighters, 8 anti-submarine helicopters; 1 Shihuang 918 founder-class battlecruiser and 4 anti-submarine helicopters; There are 4 North Korea-class cruisers, Datang 209, 210, 211, 212, and 1 anti-submarine helicopter.
The fourth rescue fleet: 1 Daqin 805 aircraft carrier (Kaga), 72 supersonic J-9 fighters, 4 anti-submarine helicopters; 1 Dahan 905 battleship (North Carolina class), 4 anti-submarine helicopters; There are 2 Datang 207 and 208 North Korean-class cruisers and 1 anti-submarine helicopter.
1 Shennong 603 medical transport ship and 4 anti-submarine helicopters; 1 Yanhuang 702 ocean-going supply ship and 4 anti-submarine helicopters, modified by Dutch tankers. 2 luxury cruise hospital ships and 4 search and rescue helicopters; Emperor Wu 501, 502, 503 transport landing ships 3, anti-submarine helicopters each 4.
Ever since last night when he was attacked by the enemy right under his nose, everyone has been on fire. The two fleets are already on all-weather combat duty, and each combat position can enter combat state at any time.
With the order of Navy Commander Zhang Bingyang, the entire Barrow Military Port suddenly roared, and the 144 Jian-9 fighters on the two aircraft carriers took off one after another, and pounced on the two groups of planes that rushed over.
Now that there is no need to hold any meetings, Bai Shujie did not listen to the advice at all, and directly climbed the base control tower and used binoculars to observe the airspace in the west and north.
"Report to the base conning tower: we've found the target, we've found the target! Twenty-four fighter-bombers in the northwest group and twenty-four fighter-bombers in the north group. See clearly, all of them are 97 ship attacks, and torpedoes are hung in the belly! โ
The radio from the base control tower began to be noisy, and the conversation between the captain and the wingman could be heard clearly.
"Pull it up! Pull it up! Use our altitude and speed advantage to maneuver with them, and wait for the follow-up formation to come and surround them! โ
"Attention Changji, I'll go down and kill their spearheads!"
The long machine suddenly exclaimed: "Pull it up!" Pull it up! โ
Boom - there was a loud bang on the radio.
Bai Shujie stood up with a loud voice: "Our plane exploded in the air!" How can our supersonic fighters not be able to defeat the 97 ship attack of the little devils? Zhang Bingyang, what's going on? โ
Zhang Bingyang shook his head and didn't speak, but the voice of the long plane appeared on the radio: "Report to the base: The torpedo suspended by the enemy will explode in volley, and it is a fire all over the sky, and my No. 02 wingman can't dodge and die!" โ
Bai Shujie grabbed the intercom and shouted: "Keep a distance from the enemy, don't keep it secret anymore, use air-to-air missiles to strike remotely, and never allow hand-to-hand combat!" โ
About a minute and a half later, the voice of the long plane sounded again: "Report to the base: our follow-up formation has surrounded all the enemies, we must annihilate them all to avenge my wingman No. 02!" โ
Bai Shujie was already full of tears, but he still shouted hoarsely: "You fucking remember Lao Tzu: safety first, annihilation of the enemy second, no one is allowed to fight hard!" โ
"This is my mistake, this is my mistake!" Bai Shujie couldn't see the air battle dozens of nautical miles away, so he could only sit down gloomily: "This incident has nothing to do with your navy, it's all my fault, it's all my fault!" โ
Zhang Bingyang still hasn't figured out why his supersonic J-9 fighter opportunity and the enemy's 97 ship attack have ended up together: "Don't be sad commander-in-chief, there will be sacrifices if there is a battle!" However, I still haven't figured out why the enemy's torpedoes explode in the air? โ
Bai Shujie wiped a handful of tears and said, "This is my negligence!" The little devil was not hanging an ordinary torpedo, but a 601 oxygen torpedo. This torpedo will explode violently when exposed to high temperatures, and it will cause a large fire. We used to develop too smoothly, and I forgot about the oxygen torpedo of the little devils. โ
"If I had heard at the beginning that enemy planes were flying torpedoes, I had asked them to attack with missiles, and the tragedy would not have happened. This matter has nothing to do with you, and I will review it with the whole army! โ
Zhang Bingyang was also very sad, but he still comforted Bai Shujie: "There is no need for the commander-in-chief to blame himself, you also don't want the Americans to see the killer weapon of our air battle, and you also consider it from the strategic level." โ
"No!" Bai Shujie's face suddenly became hideous: "The little devil killed my brother in front of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will definitely not give up!" โ
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
