Chapter 144
"Bow off their plane!" In the command tower of the King Kong, a group of Japanese people with red eyes shouted, wanting to retaliate against the Gripen fighter flying on Taiping Island.
Since the Beca Valley air war, countries have begun to serve third-generation aircraft, there has never been so many fighters in an air battle. In the Gulf War that year, the United States destroyed Iraqi aircraft one-sidedly. Even in the subsequent air battle between Yugoslavia against NATO, the losses of two thrilling air battles were only six MiG-29s.
The f-15, which is claimed to have never been shot down, plus the two shot down before, 7 have been lost here. In addition, there are 9 f-2 aircraft produced by the Japanese on their own.
A war against a small miniature country lost 16 fighter jets, but the other side had not been damaged, which definitely left a shameful title in the history of world wars. Even though Taiping Kingdom was fighting against air defense missiles, the Japanese set a precedent for so many third-generation aircraft were shot down in a war.
"The Japanese need to pay the price for their underestimation, but the main reason is that Taiping Island's strength is too much beyond expectations." When the war situation reached the White House of the United States, Secretary of Defense Hacker was shocked and was glad that the United States did not take action and passed the Japanese to test it first.
Of course, if the Americans came to fight, they would directly launch Tomahawk missiles from a distance, or even powerful ballistic missiles, and the war would end early.
But if you are not careful, you can easily get rid of the weird submarine lurking in the sea. Who would have thought that the submarine that was most afraid of air power would be specially set up as an air arsenal? Think about the saturation attack of more than 40 air defense missiles at one time, which makes people feel numb. It is spread on the Americans. Even if the losses are not as much as the Japanese, two or three of them will be shot down, and they will be exaggerated at home and abroad.
The Japanese, who had just been sunk into a Autumn Moon destroyer, was beaten again, and was even more angry and wanted to give up.
The King Kong and Hinata, Murasu and three Abukuma-class frigates, even the seriously injured Thunder destroyer and the slightly injured Uraga minesweeper, all aimed their weapons at the Gripen fighter jets rushing from the sky. At this time, the Japanese didn't care about saving. The standard 2-range air defense missile with a range of 150 kilometers on the King Kong was launched as soon as the Gripen fighter entered the range. They locked the Gripens together with the Aegis and the early warning aircraft in the sky.
But no one expected that these Gripen fighters also released 12 RBS-15f anti-ship missiles at a distance of 130 kilometers from the Uraga, and immediately turned around.
Both sides attacked from a long distance, with the Uraga in the middle. Once the distance was widened, the speed of Standard 2 was fast and the range was not enough, it was useless. The Japanese could only quickly cancel the original target and instead intercept the RBS-15f anti-ship missiles. This hastily converted greatly reduced the interception rate. The Japanese had to continue firing the second round of Standard 2 missiles to intercept. The closest Uraga and Abukuma even turned on all the air defense weapons on the ship to intercept the anti-ship missiles that had escaped.
Everyone's hearts were tense by these anti-ship missiles, as if they had forgotten how the Qiuyue name was sunk.
The poor Japanese still think that it was caused by the Taiping Kingdom's submarine, but they didn't know that the undersea fortress that had been ravaged by deep bombs was quietly filled with the Type 65 torpedo and locked the nearby Uraga.
Li Xiang had hesitated whether to attack before, but when the Japanese anti-ship missile landed on Taiping Island, Li Xiang had already decided to launch a resolute counterattack, even if it was even more troublesome.
"Discover torpedoes! There are submarines!" This time, the Japanese discovered the torpedo one step earlier. Although their attention was attracted by anti-ship missiles, the anti-submarine equipment on each ship had been turned on. As soon as the torpedo appeared at such a close distance, the Japanese immediately noticed it and even locked directly at the location of the undersea fortress.
"What kind of submarine are they? They can actually lurk to us quietly?" The Japanese were shocked. In order to fight against submarines from mainland China and Russia, the Japanese invested a lot in anti-submarines and had American support. It can be said that the Japanese's anti-submarine capabilities are definitely at the advanced level in the world, but they were actually lurking underground by a submarine.
"This must be the submarine attacking Qiuyue, they have not left yet!" someone said excitedly.
After the bombing just now, the Japanese found nothing and were depressed. Suddenly they discovered something again, so they were naturally excited. However, no matter how excited they were, they had to get rid of the crisis in front of them first.
It was less than 5 kilometers again, but this time it was when Uraga and the others escaped back. They arrived near the undersea fortress. A rabbit was waiting for him. The chrysanthemum was pricked up, which made Li Xiang unable to help but want to poke it with a thick 65-type torpedo.
"Is it easy to build a small miniature country by yourself? Why are you always bullied?" Li Xiang, who was furious, ordered the four torpedo tubes to launch all the 65 torpedoes in one breath.
Even if the technology of Type 65 torpedo hunting is a bit out of date, it can still bite the target with such a close-range sneak attack. The Japanese used all their strength and only attracted 3, and one Type 65 torpedo still completed its mission.
"Boom, boom" a series of loud noises frozen the final fate of the Uraga minesweeper at 12:13 noon on April 29.
It was even worse than the Qiuyue name. A 65-type heavy torpedo was enough to kill it. But it was unlucky to trigger the death of the torpedo carried on the ship. It was broken into two pieces, and half of the body quickly sank into the water.
The surviving Japanese officers and soldiers on the ship dived and escaped, and they had no time to get the life-saving equipment, so they swam out desperately. The whirlpool formed by the rapid sinking of the ship could easily sweep people in.
This time, the other Japanese who were prepared had a shorter time to stay quiet. Anti-submarine helicopters and the Abukuma next to them threw deep-water bombs and fired anti-submarine torpedoes while emergency rescue.
...
However, the senior officials of Taiping Country who have been paying attention to this place were collectively stunned for a second, and a sentence appeared in their minds: "This time it's a big deal again!"
The Akimori had completely sunk into the seabed at this time. This time, there was another Uraga ship worth more than 5,000 yuan. In addition, the Lei destroyer was seriously injured and there were 16 lost fighters. This loss was almost the same as the losses of the British in the Horse Island War. But the British had even achieved even greater results in the Argentines, but the Japanese now could not even make a decent record.
"The Japanese are going crazy next!" said the fat man tremblingly.
"Don't worry, what can the Japanese do if they go crazy? They are just paper tigers. Even if they have the ability to be hungry tigers, there is always an iron chain tied around their necks. Do you think Americans will spread this chain?" Li Xiang said indifferently.
"I'm afraid that the Japanese will use this as an excuse to break the constraints on themselves and force them to deal with Taiping. Americans may not be willing to go out and suppress Japan again." Gu Weijun said worriedly, "This time the Japanese have suffered too much loss, and their skin has been swollen by us, and they can't hold on anymore."
"If we were both defeated, can we save some?" Li Xiang pondered for a moment.
"At least, it can prevent others from feeling wronged by the Japanese, but need to find compromises from us. If we operate through diplomatic operations, we can still restrict Japan from taking excessive actions." Gu Weijun nodded slightly.
"Why are both sides suffering from losses? Do we cut three times?" The fat man asked curiously, and asked Gu Weijun and others about the doubts.
"This is simple. Let's just act in a play and give them some face." Li Xiang said with a smile.
...
"Be sure to sink it!" Yamamoto's furious order was directly transmitted to every anti-submarine helicopter surrounding him that was constantly attacking the seabed.
The remaining 10 fighter jets on Mito Island in the rear are coming, but the current six lucky escaped fighter jets are not enough to launch an attack on Taiping Island. The remaining warships, including the King Kong and Hinaga, cannot threaten Taiping Island. At this time, Yamamoto, who was almost collapsed, had no choice but to pour all his anger on the head of the submarine that brought the two main battleships Akitsuki and Uraga into the abyss of death.
"We hit it!" Anti-submarine equipment signals did not search for the submarine, but oil and some garbage suddenly appeared on the water.
"Continue to bomb nearby!" Yamamoto was not deceived directly by this ancient trick and continued to order. He guessed that the submarine must have reached the most dangerous time, otherwise he would not have used this move. However, he didn't know that the undersea fortress wearing thick stone armor was still as stable as a mountain, and the most of the undersea sediments above were blown up in a mess.
"Can you deceive the Japanese devils like this?" Sergeant Liu Chunran muttered and entered a series of instructions.
Before the war began, 5 to 10 people were arranged in each seabed fortress, mainly from Xuanwu Camp and Navy submarine formations to work.
The undersea fortress has complete facilities, the environment is more comfortable than that of submarines, and there is not much abnormality in the bombing outside. When the bombing is the most violent, the water in the cup in front of Liu Chunran will shake more with the vibration of the earth.
"In order to save your last face, the Japanese will choose to believe it yourself!" Lieutenant Yuanwei next to him couldn't help laughing and hearing this, "Work quickly! There's a chance."
