Chapter 620

The Yamaguchi battleship belongs to the Japanese Fusang class. Three years ago, after a series of modern refitting, it became one of the more advanced battleships among the Japanese battleships. This warship has a full load displacement of more than 40000 tons, and it is also one of the largest battleships in the world in terms of weight.

Moreover, under the influence of Japan's "single ship winning" theory, the Fusang class battleship adopted a total of six dual mounted 356 mm caliber guns. According to the number of guns, the number of single ship guns of this battleship reached an amazing 12. At least in terms of the number of cannons, it surpassed all the battleships of the great powers at that time. It can be said that it was a battleship with wonderful data.

According to the game data, the data of this kind of battleship looks very good, and it can even be said that it is the top super weapon in the battleship. After all, the German Bismarck class battleship, which served later than this kind of battleship, had only eight guns, while the last British avant-garde class battleship had only eight guns.

However, the shortcomings and advantages of Japan's Fusang class battleship are just as prominent, and the poor actual level behind the proud data is really not flattering. Because there are six main gun turrets on the ship, there is a wonderful layout inside the ship: ammunition depot, boiler room, ammunition depot, boiler room, ammunition depot

As long as you are not stupid, you can see that this kind of layout is no different from seeking death in the battle of battleships that emphasize artillery. Once the ship is hit by the enemy, then the warship will immediately become a giant firecracker, burst out the most brilliant fire.

The whole six turrets, ammunition depots and boilers have to be protected by long armor to ensure their safety, so the armor of the whole warship has to be taken into account. Therefore, on average, the armor thickness of this warship is not enough at every place where protective armor should be set up, It also interprets the embarrassing situation of this warship from another angle: there are more places to protect than others, so it is more likely to be hit when being hit. As a result, the armor is thinner because it is too scattered, and the possibility of being punctured is higher.

However, these shortcomings are insignificant in the face of the Japanese Navy's crazy bushido spirit. After all, we believe that God will protect our emperor. Since God will protect our emperor, we will not be defeated by the enemy if we fight for him. Therefore, the so-called lack of armor protection and ammunition depot issues, the Japanese high-level has always felt that it is not particularly important.

Little mother of Pearl Zuo weimen (the elder brother is the captain of the 41 year old Shancheng, please don't be surprised to use it here) stood in his command room with his hands behind his back. Not far away from him, the helmsman was still supporting the steering wheel. Zuoweimen received the news that Yamamoto was retreating from Pearl Harbor. At the same time, he received the operational order from the second battle line fleet, asking him to lead a sub fleet south to support the Japanese eastward offensive in Australia.

Behind the battleship yamacheng are two heavy cruisers, the Kaohsiung and the moye. This fleet is ordered to support the Japanese soldiers along the coast and attack the densely populated eastern part of Australia all the way south. Their combat task is very simple, that is, to cover the Japanese coastal forces and bombard the lines of resistance.

Of course, in addition to the three main warships, there are also several destroyers. These warships form a complete Japanese sub fleet and sail to their combat waters.

"How can marshal Yamamoto retreat in the battle of Oahu? This is extremely irresponsible to the great Japanese Empire! The samurai of the great Japanese Empire have no habit of muddling along. They would rather die on the battlefield than retreat despicably! " Zuoweimen is a very extreme Japanese militarist. This guy used to command warships to bombard the Chinese garrison in the battle of Songhu. He got the name of ocean wolf in the Navy because of his belligerence.

At this time, he still did not understand why Yamamoto chose to withdraw from Oahu Island, which seemed to lose face. In his opinion, even if he fought there to the last man, he should not choose to retreat despicably. Just because the idea of this left back door is different from that of Sanben, Yamamoto secretly instructs general Kurita to transfer this left back door to the second battle line fleet and send him an unimportant task from afar, so as not to damage the overall situation at a critical time.

As the head of a ship and the supreme commander of the whole detachment, when he complained about Marshal Yamamoto, most of his men could only pretend not to hear him. Everyone was silent, allowing the left guard general to greet his top official with dirty words. They not only have to stand, but also stand on the swinging bridge, which is a technical job in itself.

To tell you the truth, the towering central building of the Japanese warship has seriously affected the appearance of the warship, and even damaged the comfort. But the stubborn Japanese naval designers and users came to the conclusion that the higher the command tower of the warship, the better.

World War II is a great era of scientific and technological development. Before the advent of this era, everyone was in the embryonic stage of their own exploration without experience. At this time, all countries have their own unique opinions summed up in the war, such as the exotic tank fighter theory of the United States, the weird high-speed bomber theory of Germany, and the stubborn biplane aircraft of the British navy.

Don't think awesome Americans are so fucking great. In fact, the way they walk can definitely make their eyes worshipped by those who worship the American power. In World War II, the theory of American armored forces was like this: tanks were used to support infantry, while tank destroyers were used to destroy tanks. Thus, the standard operational process of the US armored forces is as follows: the M4 tanks march forward with the infantry. If they encounter enemy tanks, the commander of the M4 tanks will call the nearby M10 tank destroyer to destroy the troubling enemy tanks. In actual combat, the situation encountered by the Americans is that the M4 tank was beaten by the German tanks. When the M10 tank destroyer came, the German had cleaned the battlefield and had a meal before withdrawing. The experience gained by the Japanese Navy is that the higher the aiming equipment of naval warships is installed, the better, so that they can find their own enemies faster and provide more accurate firing parameters for artillery operations. How can this theory be heard? Of course, without the invention of radar. Today, Japan's electronics manufacturers such as Panasonic and Sony are very popular. It seems that Japan has dabbled in advanced electronic technologies all over the world. However, in 1938, the Japanese did not have many advanced technologies. It seems that they can keep up with the world trend to make concept items such as aircraft carriers, but when it comes to details such as radars, The gap was immediately apparent. In 1934, that is before the war, Germany purchased and applied for a series of technical patents, and began to produce and improve the latest plane position display equipment in China. This device eventually made Germany use plane scanning imaging in its radar at the beginning of 1937, which is known as using circular scanning to visually represent the target within 360 degrees. However, the current radar system in the United States is still the old-fashioned and original oscilloscope. Only a very experienced radar hand can find the target echo needed from those chaotic waveforms. Of course, even with this kind of radar, the US Navy has preserved its fleet in the waters near Oahu, forcing Yamamoto to return in vain. From a series of intelligence provided by the Germans, the Japanese military knows that the US military is ahead in radar, but now the Japanese military can't imitate it at all, because the hostility with the Germans and the confidentiality of the latest technology, and Japan has not been able to learn the world's latest technology from Germany. So up to now, the Japanese Navy can only use the ancient method of standing high and looking far to improve the aiming distance of its warships. Of course, because the United Kingdom has its own unique technology in magnetron, with the help of the United Kingdom, the detection accuracy and range of the American radar, which uses the unknown oscilloscopes, has fallen behind that of Germany. However, this does not mean that the gap between Germany and the United States in radar technology has been narrowed. The reason is that weapons and equipment are used instead of data competition. Because of technical reasons, the US radar itself is unreliable, and it has no stability in operation. Today, it is not easy to debug it, and tomorrow, when it is turned on, it will not know what state it will become. In the eyes of us radar soldiers, radar is hard to use. The Japanese fleet was advancing on the sea. The huge bow cut the sea and left huge waves on the sea. The huge round chrysanthemum on the bow of the ship is shining in the sea and sunlight. Of course, according to the current standard, it's a bit vulgar to install a chrysanthemum on the face as a decoration. Left back door is still venting his dissatisfaction with Yamamoto's withdrawal. He doesn't know that on the route of his fleet, a German U-shaped submarine that has never appeared in the Pacific Ocean is staring at his warship with periscope. Of course, if he knew about it, he would not be in charge of such a rotten thing as Yamamoto's withdrawal from the waters off Oahu“ Like the Soviet battleship! I don't have any anti submarine common sense! " Prion leaned against the periscope, focused on his prey, whispered, "wait for it to come near! Wait for it to get closer! Don't worry! This is a battleship! Let's go back to Germany and let the marshal open the champagne for us
