Chuichi Nagumo, the commander of the fleet, knows how difficult it is to deal with submarines. Especially at night like this, if it were not for destroyers or light cruisers carrying anti-submarine sonar to sweep, it would be difficult to find submarines in the vast ocean.

It’s not easy. Not to mention the current mixed environment.

Nagumo Chuichi had more ideas. The Imperial Navy's submarines seemed to be naturally at odds with Zhu Bin's team. From the time they first tracked the freighter bound for the United States, they had been sunk or disappeared in various ways. In the end, they were sunk or disappeared in various ways.

The most ridiculous thing was that time when they quietly followed a huge returning fleet, but ended up being killed by two ships before they even bubbled up in the waters of the East China Sea. The weirdness was almost supernatural.

So this time... Nagumo Chuichi felt that something was wrong no matter how he thought about it, he decisively ordered: "All submarines withdraw from the warring waters and wait in hiding near the straits and island chains as a warning! Try to avoid conflicts with enemy warships!

"

The Chinese Navy's anti-submarine methods are too mysterious and unpredictable. If you don't understand them clearly, excessive casualties are really unnecessary. There are hundreds of naval officers and soldiers in a submarine, and it takes many years of training to succeed. Today's Japanese Navy,

Nearly half of the people have died. The reserve force is worrying!

In fact, even if he didn't say it, there were no more submarines in the center of the battle. Wang Wenda had always done it in a dark way, and he had to clean it up all at once before starting the war. Today's Second Fleet only has a few submarines on the left wing and in the front and rear.

, now everyone has heard the news and ducked down to avoid unnecessary casualties.

In the dark night, the Japanese side relied solely on their eyes for observation, and the radars installed on the four battleships were not reliable at all. The search distance was appallingly short, and the accuracy could not be improved. It was not as good as their eyes. With the help of the night radar imported from Germany,

Depending on the equipment, soldiers with good eyesight can even see more than ten nautical miles under the starlight, which is enough for precise bombardment by naval guns.

Wang Wenda did not have the same obstacles as them. The precise radar had already locked the location of the Japanese ships. On the main control screen, the formation of the entire Second Fleet was displayed in real time, which was clear and scary.

However, he did not directly bombard with missiles. After all, he lacked the mid-stage guidance of the early warning aircraft. The effect would be worse. Furthermore, his mission was to destroy all Japanese ships, so he could not make any mistakes!

The confrontation area between the two sides was on the water more than 200 kilometers northwest of Ryukyu. Wang Wenda's East China Sea Fleet blocked the way and then turned north, forming a figure-of-eight angle with the Second Fleet. Because of its speed advantage, the Japanese ships were not allowed to move.

After grabbing the top of the T-shaped formation, the two sides extended the formation and moved closer together. Each other placed the battleships on the outside. The naval guns were raised and pointed at each other from a distance. Soon, they reached the edge of the longest range of 40 kilometers!

Nagumo Chuichi was convinced that in the confrontation between four ships with thirty-six 410mm cannons, no force could resist, and the opponent's two battleships would definitely be sunk. Since they did not use the so-called secret weapon first

Attack, then accept the fate of defeat! Victory must belong to the Imperial Navy!

He looked resolutely and looked at the sea with sharp eyes. Unknown to him, two hundred nautical miles to the north, two battleships and cruisers of the North Sea Fleet quietly broke away from the group and drove at full speed. In four hours, they would meet them!

Above the sea, there were heavy clouds. On the coast of the East China Sea, an unprecedentedly large fleet of Japanese aircraft swarmed into the mainland airspace. The leader of the aircraft successfully broke through hundreds of kilometers at a speed of more than 400 kilometers per hour. They first encountered ground artillery bombardment from the Kuocang Mountain defense line.

The Central Army's air defense troops, hastily mobilized from behind, deployed hundreds of artillery pieces of various calibers and more than 300 machine guns on this line. Under the unified command of radar fire control, they formed a dispersed defense formation that was staggered 20 kilometers in depth.

The first to bear the brunt were the Japanese squadrons that were divided into three breakthrough peaks. More than 20 fighter planes each flew through the air from a height of two thousand meters. Suddenly, patches of fire appeared in the mountains below, and dozens of guns and cannons formed.

The triangular anti-aircraft array fired hundreds of bullets and artillery shells in an instant, the "pop-pop" explosions of anti-aircraft shells with fixed height fuses were heard continuously, and continuous flashes of light in the sky illuminated the Japanese aircraft formation.

The Japanese planes clustered together to deceive the radar signal suddenly dispersed, like frightened bats, pulling away from each other. Suddenly, one spot of light on the ground radar screen turned into a field, and the head of the inexperienced commander "buzzed" three times.

, I didn’t know which one to start with for a while!

At this critical moment, a signal cut into their communication equipment out of thin air, coldly giving coordinates and instructions.

The commander was stunned for a while and suddenly realized that these guys from the north had used their special means to temporarily seize control of the equipment! But this is not surprising, as all decent high-tech equipment in the entire Central Army is provided by others.

What? If there is no backdoor, who would believe it?

The somewhat panicked air defense positions were actually distributed in a regular manner, but in terms of application, the officers of the Central Army were obviously far behind. After being forcibly taken over, the newly given coordinates, gun firing rhythm and altitude calibration were all

Taking into account the differences in each position, after a while of silence, the adjustment was completed, and the re-sprayed shells suddenly changed their appearance!

The artillery shells that were originally fired at the dense group of aircraft were no longer scattered. Four or five types of firepower, including the maximum 75mm, the middle 37mm and the minimum 7.92mm heavy machine guns, were staggered and mixed. They were aimed at a height of one thousand to three thousand meters to form a well-organized interception iron curtain. Especially

When a 75mm shell with a fixed-height fuse explodes, the air wave impact and fragmentation damage it generates pose a fatal threat to night bombers with almost no armor!

In just a few minutes, more than 20 Japanese aircraft were hit or destroyed on the attack surface with a depth of 20 kilometers. The fire caused by the volley explosion even illuminated the figure of the wingman next to him!

The chaotic fleet of aircraft suddenly became sparse, and the radar soldiers and fire control cooperated more tacitly. The high-power searchlight that had been silent suddenly turned on, and bright beams as thick as a house tore through the night sky, illuminating the figures of Japanese aircraft that were deliberately blackened.

Every detail was revealed, followed by twin 20mm cannons that fired accurately and sprayed up like wind, blowing it into pieces in the air and causing it to fall in chaos!

The decreasing numbers on the radar screen made the officers overjoyed, but only then did their smiles appear. A larger group of Japanese planes suddenly rushed over. This time the number reached an astonishing over a hundred, and most of them were at an altitude of more than three thousand meters.

Most of the anti-aircraft firepower was simply out of reach. Their suddenly dispersed formation filled the radar screen with so many light spots that they were almost indistinguishable. They were so fierce that they passed over the heads of those who opened the way in front of them.

Not only that, but dozens of "Moonlight" twin-engine night fighters swooped down from the sky, aimed at the air defense position that had just opened fire, and dropped swarms of 100-pound bombs.

The ferocious firepower was not inferior, hitting the air with tracers mixed with short shots one after another, as sharp as a knife, blowing up the large-caliber anti-aircraft cannons on six positions in an instant, smashing more than a dozen of them, causing over a hundred casualties!

The Kuocangshan defense line has never encountered such a ferocious air strike since it was built. Before that, they had only dealt with sporadically Japanese aircraft that had bypassed the central theater. On such a night, faced with such a ferocious air strike,

For a time, everyone from the soldiers to the officers were panicked.

The searchlight that was too conspicuous was taken care of first, and the cannons fired from the head were blown to pieces one after another. The shining beams of light disappeared without a trace for a while, and then balls of flames exploded on the ground. After three consecutive waves of strafing bombings, the entire air defense line was completely destroyed.

A small part of it was lifted off, and I could only watch the radar screen covered with snowflakes, with nothing to do!

After listening to the report, Chen Cheng, who was at the base camp, shouted into the microphone unceremoniously: "The initial defense line was set up too hastily and it was not possible to stop it. It is excusable and I will not pursue it. But you dare to say that you shot down more than a hundred Japanese planes?"

, it’s just nonsense! The number of Japanese aircraft detected by the Jinhua Xiaoshan radar network is still no less than 500, can the Japanese do magic tricks?!"

On the opposite side, Qiqi Ai Ai was in trouble. It was so dark and dark. Who knew how many Japanese planes had been killed? But after hearing the numbers revealed by Chen Cheng, everyone was sweating profusely. They were really going to be in big trouble now!

From the coast to Nanjing, a total of three radar nets and air defense positions were deployed. The first line seemed weak, but in fact it was more than enough to deal with ordinary gaps. However, the Japanese troops came this time and they were too many to resist!

Chen Cheng didn't listen to his explanation. He pressed the phone hard and turned around to look at Zhou Zhirou, whose eyes were red. What should he do? He really didn't have enough night fighters here!

Zhou Zhirou was helpless. He had already come forward to ask Zhu Bin for help, but he saw that the Japanese planes had crossed the defense line. Where were the reinforcements?

At this time, he regretted that he had not seriously reminded the chairman and his wife to increase the construction of the air force in the past few years. He originally thought that a thousand advanced fighters were enough to cope with all changes, but when the war started, he discovered that the Japanese

In just two days, thousands of fighter planes of various colors were dispatched. Including the northern battlefield and the East China Sea battlefield, there were probably two to three thousand aircraft?!

Chen Cheng had nowhere to vent his frustration, so he ordered the second line of defense to find ways to stop the Japanese planes as much as possible, and then sighed dejectedly: "The rest depends on whether Zhu Hanchen is willing to help!"

Where is Zhu Bin at this time? Right above the heads of the Japanese fleet!

At an altitude of five thousand meters, the faint blue light all over the "Big-billed Parrot" is almost invisible. Against the background of the starry sky, it is absolutely invisible from the ground and extremely difficult to spot from the air.

But he could clearly see everything below. The poor performance of ground artillery fire made him twist his nose and groan: "It's so mud that can't hold up the wall! My equipment is the best in the world! As long as we make good use of it,

, how could the Japanese planes break through with only such a small amount of damage? Trash!"

There is no other radar in the world that can accurately detect altitude, speed, angle, distance, and quantity. The ability to give instant calculation results and flexibly command dozens of air defense groups was also lent to them, but the results were still so inconsistent that it was hopeless.

.

But this is good, at least you don’t have to worry about these guys counterattacking in the future. Even if they are given such good equipment, it will not be effective. It can only be said that Chiang Kai-shek and the Democratic Party have exhausted their energy!
