Anti-Japanese War: Red Alert Base, I am the Power

When the fleet was about 4 kilometers away from the Japanese army, they encountered two Tenryu-class light cruisers blocking their way.

These were two light cruisers built by the Japanese army during World War I.

The air defense capabilities of these old-fashioned ships from World War I were very weak.

The Japanese army was also unwilling to invest resources in such old ships.

They only dismantled some of the 76mm anti-aircraft guns and replaced them with twin-mounted 25mm anti-aircraft guns.

That's right, it was the Japanese army's 25mm anti-aircraft gun that was a scam during World War II.

And there were only four on the entire ship.

Although they had a lot of air defense capabilities, the peacekeeping bomber fleet still targeted them.

"Team 3, kill them, the rest of the aircraft formations continue to move forward, our target is that big guy."

At this moment, they only have eyes for the battleship Hiei.

After receiving the order, the three peacekeeping bombers directly attacked the Tianlong-class light cruiser that was spewing shells into the sky.

As the door of the magazine opened, a huge rotating bomb rack was revealed.

In this large rotating bomb rack, six 1.5-ton Fritz X-ship missiles were hung.

"Bart....."

As the Fritz X missile detached from the rack, it flew in a parabolic shape towards the Tianlong cruiser in front.

The smoke device at the tail allowed the operator to clearly see the gliding trajectory of the anti-ship missile.

Through the glass, the operator constantly made fine adjustments.

Although there was a delay of several seconds, the Fritz missile still slid straight forward.

"bomb......"

Seeing the Fritz X anti-ship missile coming directly at them, the Japanese sailors screamed in fear.

Some people also saw that the bomb had deviated from their direction.

But after a while, it came directly towards them again.

In the end, the Fritz X anti-ship missile hit the Tianlong light cruiser straight.

Although it was a cruiser

""490" but its tonnage is actually only more than 3,300 tons. It is even smaller than the assault-class destroyer.

The armor-piercing bomb of the Fritz X-ship missile has an armor-piercing thickness of 130 mm and a maximum penetration depth of 280 mm.

How could the Tianlong light cruiser withstand its attack?

It smashed directly from the front deck, penetrated through layers of decks, and finally exploded inside.

The 320 kg warhead charge is extremely powerful.

It almost blew open the upper deck and even the front turret of the Tianlong light cruiser.

Fierce flames and thick smoke rose into the sky.

Not only was the deck opened, but a hole more than one meter long was also torn in the underwater part.

Countless seawater began to pour in.

Another Tianlong-class light cruiser, the Ryuta, was not so lucky. The

Fritz X-ship missile hit the front of the front turret very accurately.

It landed directly in the shell compartment below.

Along with the huge explosion, the shells inside were also ignited, and a violent explosion occurred.

The front The ship was almost blown to pieces. Almost broken into two pieces.

The tragic condition of the two Tenryu-class light cruisers directly shocked the fleet commander, Captain Katsura Taro, the captain of the battleship Hiei.

His eyes almost popped out.

Standing on the command tower, he watched the entire process of the two Tenryu-class light cruisers being attacked.

It simply refreshed his cognition.

The bombs attacking the Tenryu-class light cruisers seemed to have eyes.

Using a gliding attack mode, both shots hit the target.

Two light cruisers weighing more than 3,000 tons were directly destroyed.

Suddenly he looked at the formation of 7 peacekeeping bombers coming directly at them.

Suddenly a sense of fear rose in his heart.

"Stop them from getting close, and immediately perform irregular maneuvers at maximum horsepower, quickly!"

This seems to be the best solution he can think of at the moment.

"boom...boom....boom......"

At this moment, the destroyers on the periphery of the fleet were attacked again.

Three more destroyers sank to the bottom of the sea under the attack of torpedoes.

There are less than half of the 9 destroyers left now.

And they are still struggling to survive.

Although they are throwing depth charges frantically.

But there is no effect.

Passing over the two sinking Tianlong-class light cruisers.

At this moment, the fleet of 7 peacekeeping bombers is less than 5 kilometers away from the Hiei battleship.

Two Myoko-class heavy cruisers are converging towards the Hiei battleship at full speed.

But at this moment, they have been targeted by the fleets that have been outflanking on both sides.

They can no longer protect themselves.

The three-plane formation flying in the front took the lead in attacking the Hiei battleship.

Because at this moment, the Hiei has entered their attack channel.

Three Fritz X ship missiles fell one after another, heading directly towards the Hiei battleship.

Some of the 4 peacekeeping bombers behind also couldn't wait to launch an attack.

Less than three seconds later, another 4 Fritz X anti-ship missiles attacked one after another

"Shoot them down, shoot at these bombs."

Katsura Taro screamed madly.

At this time, the Japanese's Type 96 25mm anti-aircraft gun began to really suck.

Although this thing has a firing rate of 260 rounds per minute.

But it still uses a 15-round magazine, and it takes more than ten seconds to manually reload it once.

Even if you reload it with all your strength, you can only reach half the firing rate.

The most important thing is that it has a limited range.

The firing height is only 3,000 meters.

The altitude of the aircraft group at this moment is about 3,500 meters.

In short, this anti-aircraft gun has no advantages except being light.

The Japanese also suffered a lot from it during World War II.

Facing the 7 Fritz X-ship missiles rushing towards them.

Katsura Taro's eyes were bloodshot, staring at these black shadows.

"Hmm? Why is it still moving?"

He was surprised to find that whenever these bombs deviated from the attack line, the warheads would deflect and the bombs would hit them again.���

This also made him understand why two Tianlong-class light cruisers were taken away directly with just two shots.

This thing seemed like someone was controlling it.

But this thing was an aerial bomb.

The Chinese must have used some means to control the direction of the aerial bomb.

Although he discovered the secret, what could he do?

"boom......"

The first bomb fell straight down, brushing past the conning tower and landing at the rear of the ship.

The deck was easily penetrated as if it were paper-thin.

"boom.....boom......"

Two more anti-ship missiles fell.

One hit the front of the deck.

The other rubbed the port side deck and fell into the sea.

"Boom..Boom....boom......"

Almost at the same time, violent explosions occurred in front and behind the deck of the Hiei battleship.

Flames and thick smoke shot up from the gap.

The violent explosion caused the entire Hiei battleship to shake violently.

At this moment, the internal cabins of the ship were severely damaged.

The boiler room at the rear was affected by the explosion.

A serious leak occurred immediately.

The sailors in the boiler room were enveloped by the leaked high-temperature steam. They were steamed before they could even scream.

The high-temperature steam swept around like a mist.

The propeller at the rear also slowly stopped turning.

Because at this moment, the Hiei battleship had lost its power source.

The explosion on the front deck did not have a particularly large impact on the Hiei battleship. It was just a gap that was blown open on the starboard side of the front of the ship near the underwater part.

The nearby cabins were also completely destroyed.

However, the remaining four incoming Fritz X anti-ship missiles dealt a fatal blow to the Hiei battleship.

The first two were disturbed by the smoke.

It did not hit the battleship Hiei.

But the third one penetrated the front deck and fell straight into the ammunition depot below the deck.

Seeing the bombs falling directly, the two Japanese sailors were startled.

Just when they were about to shout, the Fritz X missile exploded.

Countless flames swept around under the explosion.

Under the influence of high temperature, the ammunition depot exploded without any surprise. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

"Boom boom boom........"

One after another, the 383mm caliber shells exploded.

One can imagine how loud the noise was.

The entire front of the battleship was engulfed in the huge flames that shot up into the sky.

Thick smoke and flames swept across.[]

The battleship Hiei made a harsh sound of metal tearing and twisting.

This explosion dealt a fatal blow to the battleship Hiei.

Even the two twin-mounted 383mm turrets of the Qianzhan were blown away. It caused a huge wave in the sea.

The Hiei was like a flaming coffin floating on the sea.

Tons of seawater poured in, and the keel had cracked.

Damage control was useless at this time.

The Japanese sailors could only look at the surging sea water in despair.

It was only a matter of time before the battleship Hiei sank.

The two Myoko-class heavy cruisers were so angry at this scene that they were about to burst into tears, and at the same time, they felt a chill in their hearts.

This strange way of attack simply refreshed their understanding of horizontal bombers.

Did the Chinese bombers cast magic? Why is the hit rate of the bombs so high?

"Turn around, retreat, retreat!"

At this time, the two Myoko-class heavy cruisers had no time to escort.

It was too late to run away.

But they had been targeted by two 10-plane formations, so there was no way they could escape.

The destroyers on the periphery were almost cleared out.

The huge fleet crowded together became the new target of more than 20 submarines.

They wanted to sink the Hiei.

But the Navy did not give them this opportunity this time.

So they could only turn their target to the crowded transport fleet.

The two Myoko-class heavy cruisers that fled were very miserable.

20 bombers were like fighting for heads.

One bomb after another hit them hard.

Although they avoided one or two bombs by maneuvering, they could not avoid the bombs that kept falling.

The Myoko heavy cruiser was directly hit by three bombs.

Although it has a displacement of 15,000 tons, it can't withstand such a bombing..........

The situation of the Haguro was even worse.

It was hit by five Fritz X anti-ship missiles in succession.

It sank after struggling for less than five minutes.

But the Myoko was reluctant to sink.

So it was hit by three more missiles, all three of which hit it.

Then there was a violent explosion, and it broke into two pieces.

The escort fleet was wiped out.

The fleet, which was proud of such a luxurious escort fleet, was completely exposed to the offensive of peacekeeping bombers and submarines.

At this time, the 30 Invader fighter-bombers that arrived late also entered the scene.

When I saw that there was no floating warship on the sea, I was very depressed.

But when I saw those transport ships that were about to flee, I rushed over directly.

These transport ships were unable to resist the encirclement and suppression by sea and air.

Moreover, the speed of these transport ships and cargo ships was very slow.

Even the Akula submarine ran faster than them.

So they had no way to go up to the sky and no way to go down to the ground.

Under the joint encirclement and suppression, none of these ships escaped.

Especially the troop transport ships, which were attacked jointly.

Even the escorting MiG fighters came down to sweep.

The Japanese soldiers on top were really helpless.

In the fierce explosion, they all went to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.

The 13th Division, which had just been formed not long ago, was wiped out without even seeing land.

This was a fully-staffed permanent division of more than 24,000 people.

At this time, the Japanese side also received this bad news.

This was indeed bad news for them.

Both the General Staff and the Military Affairs Department were stunned when they received this news.

"Encountering powerful air raids and large-scale submarine attacks, all the ships sank?"

Emperor Hirohito suddenly felt dizzy and took several steps back. Fortunately , he was supported by his attendants and did not fall down.

"How is this possible? Why is this happening?"

Faced with the emperor's mumbling, everyone lowered their heads.

"Why can this group of Chinese people grow to this point? Who is supporting them? Who is it?"

Hirohito roared like a madman.

He was no longer elegant and steady as before.

Because this was too much of a blow to him.

Since Jiang Fan appeared in Chengde, they have not had a smooth journey, and the losses have been greater each time.

Especially this time, not only a battleship and two heavy cruisers were involved, but also a full-strength division and a large amount of weapons, ammunition and supplies.

This is enough to support 200,000 people fighting for several months.

This is undoubtedly a double blow to the already resource-scarce Japan.

"What should we do now? Chu Qing, what should we do now?"

The Chief of the Military General Staff, Fushimi Palace Hiroyoshi, winked at the Minister of the Navy, Otsuki Tsuneo.

Then Otsuki Tsuneo stood up and said,

"Your Majesty, such a large fleet of ours was destroyed so easily.

And from the farewell telegram, we can know that the Chinese used a mysterious weapon this time.

So our fleet has no power to resist.

At this moment, the Yellow Sea is probably full of their 1.4 submarines and fighter planes.

Unless they send out the main force of the entire Combined Fleet to support Port Arthur.

Otherwise, our losses will become greater and greater.

But even if we send out the main force of the Combined Fleet.

I am afraid it will not be of much help to the Battle of Port Arthur.

Instead, it is easy to encounter a surprise attack and cause losses.

So our navy’s suggestion is to abandon Port Arthur"

"you......"

After hearing this, the army naturally refused to do it.

But there seemed to be nothing wrong with what he said.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that the ship really cannot pass.

It is even more impossible for Hirohito to take risks with the Combined Fleet.

Although the army does not want to admit it, this is indeed their biggest reliance for Japan.

After a long time, Yu looked at the army who did not speak.

He also understood what they meant.

But he was willing to give up the Far East fortress of Lushun.

And he also wanted the Chinese to pay a heavy price.

Just like them during the Russo-Japanese War. They must cover every high ground with Chinese corpses.

"Then withdraw some troops, and the rest will defend Lushun to the last moment.

I will definitely erect a monument for them personally."

But they didn't think about it.

Is it so easy to evacuate from Lushun?

How could Ling Liang not think of this?

These heads are needed when the commander is upgraded.

Ling Liang will never let them run away.

So in the afternoon of the day when the Japanese fleet was annihilated.

The Navy was busy again.

This time they dispatched 60 peacekeeping bombers.

The bomb bays were all filled with air-dropped mines.

She wanted to use mines to directly seal Lushun Port.
