- Dreadnought!
Uemura Hikonoshima felt a tremor rising from the bottom of his soul that instantly spread throughout his body! In this era, although this kind of super giant ship has never had any achievements, there is no one in the world who does not know how powerful this concept of warship artillery is! The Satsuma-class battleship, the flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet, was originally designed with this type of concept in mind. However, when it was finally completed, due to various reasons, it had to become what it is today.
Dreadnoughts, men¡¯s dreams, the embodiment of the ultimate force of this era, the pinnacle of the development of giant ship cannonism: using steel and heavy armor to create a fortress that can never be sunk on the sea, and at the same time, this fortress is also super powerful The extremely high hit rate achieved by the unified caliber coverage-level artillery fire can sink any target it sees on the sea.
This is the perfect combination of spear and shield. It is the display of human sea power and war thoughts at the peak stage of this era. It creates a record of the unparalleled dominance influence of a single man-made weapon on the entire era in the history of human warfare. Almost as soon as it appeared, it caused all the existing battleships of the entire era to become obsolete. By the way, it also set off a vigorous competition for the construction of dreadnoughts among the world's great powers!
It can be said that a considerable part of the current confrontation between the major powers in Europe is caused by the absolute deterrence brought by the emergence of super-powerful weapons such as dreadnoughts. No one is willing to put their trade and coastline at risk. under the threat of this terrible weapon. Therefore, countries have to invest their limited national budgets in force in an attempt to nip the enemy's threat in the bud.
But unfortunately, this threat is two-sided. Every time a country invests, it will inevitably lead to vigilance in surrounding countries. Continuously build new giant ships to form a balance of power in terms of numbers. This trend has quickly become a vicious cycle that no one can stop.
And Japan, a remote part of the world in the East, luckily escaped the early stages of this competition and couldn't participate even if it wanted to. Until now, there has been no dreadnought of its own. Not only due to funding reasons, but also due to industrial reasons, Japan cannot build its own dreadnoughts.
But. Now, opposite Uemura's telescope, Japan's old enemy, China, already has three terrifying dreadnoughts!
Uemura really wanted to suspect that none of this was true. Those eight terrible cannons were all fake. They were ridiculous things that the poor and stupid Chinese people piled up paper shells on the battleship to comfort their dreams. From the appearance, that heavy gun seems to be a super-long barrel heavy gun that exceeds the 305mm caliber naval gun, the strongest artillery in Britain at this time. How can this be?
? But he knows. This is absolutely true. No one would make such a joke about this.
Next, he can only keep comforting himself, this is not a dreadnought, this is not a dreadnought, at least this will not be a standard dreadnought. China doesn't even have any industry. Its ship armor technology cannot produce the super armor steel needed for the dreadnought. Another important feature of the dreadnought is the high speed brought by its super power. It is even more impossible, even for the UK. In this regard, I have been having a headache. Although naval steam turbine technology has received renewed attention. Rapid development, but with the progress in a short period of time, it is still impossible for the dreadnought to reach the ideal speed!
The three huge ships that Uemura saw in front of him were facing the Chinese fleet on the opposite side. They seemed to be moving slowly. Until now, the huge ships had not made any moves to fight. They were sailing slowly and clumsily on the sea, as if they were walking on their own. The king in the territory seemed not to pay attention to the threat of more than a dozen cruisers and warships here.
Uemura couldn't help but continue to think to himself. If the enemy's dreadnoughts did not have high speed and strong armor, they would still be able to fight. Just being fully equipped with heavy artillery should not have the capabilities of a dreadnought. That kind of desperate fighting power. With the absolute numerical superiority of our eight battleships, it is absolutely possible to destroy them all in an encirclement attack!
At this moment, a strong sense of desperate tension grabbed Uemura Hikonoshima's throat, as if the future of the empire was in his own hands at this moment. No matter what, he had to destroy the three giant ships on the opposite side. Eliminate it, otherwise, Japan will have no future.
¡¡
On the sea, when more than a dozen giant steel ships from the entire Japanese cruiser squadron swarmed in with arrogant and domineering momentum, suddenly for a while, all the warships seemed to have suddenly come to a standstill and suddenly paused. Suddenly, everyone was stunned for a short time in front of the Chinese dreadnought, and experienced a short period of mental struggle that changed violently like a roller coaster in their minds.
Then, an atmosphere of crisis and a sense of mission enveloped the entire fleet. They were unwilling, desperate, and dangerous. They fought to the death. In an instant, they were helpless.This kind of emotion enveloped the hearts of every crew member in the cruiser fleet. A series of fluctuations and changes flashed through everyone's hearts. After that, all the cruisers suddenly accelerated in unison and pounced on the Chinese battleship again like a hungry tiger pouncing on food. Passed by!
For the future of the Japanese Empire, we must sink them no matter what! This is the beating heart of all the Japanese navy in this fleet at the same time!
In the distance, behind the ferocious offensive of the cruisers, the battleship detachment of the combined fleet has surrounded them from the sea.
¡¡
Togo Heihachiro also saw the battleships of the China Fleet. For a moment, like Uemura, he fell into a short-term extremely contradictory mentality!
But unlike Uemura, he adjusted his mentality in a short period of time. If the navy loses the spirit of brave attack, it will cease to exist. Even if the China battleship in front of us is a real Dreadnought-class battleship, the heroic Japanese Combined Fleet will still sink it!
Between China and Japan, there can only be one winner, and that can only be Japan!
He raised his head and looked at the sky. Suddenly, Dongxiang's eyes softened and a relaxed smile appeared on his lips.
"The Imperial Fleet of Japan, attack! The empire will rise and fall in one fell swoop!"
Violent electromagnetic fluctuations with huge power follow Dongxiang¡¯s orders. In an instant, it spread throughout the entire hundreds of square meters of the surrounding sea area!
¡¡
It¡¯s bad at this time! All the correspondents on the battleships of the Chinese Empire's East China Sea Fleet felt huge electromagnetic waves coming from them in an instant. The roar of the crest of the wave almost tore the correspondent's eardrums!
Imperial Fleet Radio Communications. It was unexpectedly interfered with and suppressed by the huge power broadband fluctuations of the Japanese Combined Fleet's spark-type wireless telegraph system. The situation spread to the entire army in the blink of an eye. This was something that the expeditionary force staff had not expected at all.
¡¡
At 17:58 in the afternoon on November 6, 1911, the sun had set, and the sea level to the west was about to swallow up the last ray of light from the sun. Under the dim light, the wind and clouds in the northern Yellow Sea suddenly changed. In winter, the sea surface was still blowing with strong sea winds exceeding ** level, bringing tropical warm and moist air from the South Pacific along the East China Sea to the north. The northwest wind coming down from the Mongolian Plateau met here, and the violent weather changes caused instantly dominated the surrounding sea areas!
Huge waves surged forward, turning the surface of the sea into ever-changing ravines. The thick clouds were as thick as a ball of ink. Countless demonic faces were changing in the sky, brewing the lightning that was about to awaken the world. !
In such weather, there are still one or two seabirds rushing into the sky from time to time, like a warrior, facing the coming storm! Under the sky. It's dozens of giant steel ships from the human world fighting in a decisive battle!
At this time, on the sea, the situation of the two parties participating in the battle: the East China Sea Fleet of the Chinese Empire had three Emperor-class battleships and eight Wutaishan-class light cruisers. Among them, the battleship detachment was turning in a line formation, trying to occupy the top of the T-shaped formation of the oncoming Japanese cruiser fleet. The light cruiser detachment of the East China Sea Fleet was scattered around by the Japanese cruise fleet. The seemingly scattered formations strangely re-formed into two single-line teams within ten minutes, forming two lanes, north and south. Outflank the rear flank of the combined fleet.
On the front, behind the Japanese cruiser detachment. About ten kilometers away, the battleship detachment of the combined fleet. Fuji, Asahi, Mikasa, Shikishima, Katori, Kashima, Satsuma, An Yun, eight powerful Asian first-class behemoths, rushed towards the Chinese battleships that were about to engage the cruisers!
¡¡
On the battleship Qin Shihuang, Zhou Yu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly broke the silence and spoke:
"Look at this, our air force can't come!"
Lu Xun nodded in agreement.
Sa Zhenbing seemed to suddenly wake up from a dream,
"Can't the air force come?" Then he immediately realized that in such weather, it is of course impossible for airships to come out to fight!
That means that the officers and soldiers of the East China Sea Fleet have to face the enemy's superior force alone!
And there is another surprise, that is, the enemy's wireless telegraph system, once sent, becomes a huge source of interference. Although as a military system, the military radio communications used by the Imperial Fleet are indeed designed to deal with interference. The filtering process is required, but no matter what era of radio, it is impossible to expect to encounter such a weird wide-band radio system as a spark radio. At this time, the enemy's primitive radio actually suppressed our own radar and communications!
This is really an encounter with technological progress.?The most embarrassing thing!
But even so, no one here expressed concern. The war has been going better than imagined so far. When the enemy first saw the Emperor-class battleship, the enemy's reaction was not to run away, but to launch a more ferocious attack. This made it difficult for even the most optimistic estimates of the Imperial Staff to imagine.
Previously, the effect of Zhou Yu's inaction finally came to light. The enemy's distance was close, less than 20 kilometers away from our main firepower, and the encirclement and annihilation plan formulated in advance could be implemented!
Zhou Yu gave the order.
The entire fleet accelerated violently. In an instant, it felt as if all the giant ships had doubled their speed on the sea. It was like toys that had been played with by the undulating waves and suddenly turned into heroes challenging the Poseidon head-on. The undulating bow cut through the thorns and cut through waves of water as it advanced forward. The entire East China Sea Fleet formation opened its bloodthirsty fangs towards the enemy.
The three giant ships of Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Guangwu of Han, their huge gun muzzles slowly turned to the right side of the ship. Twenty-four super cannons in the entire fleet were pointed at the three giant ships, which were approaching quickly. They were already less than six meters away from the battle line. Thousands of kilometers of enemy cruiser detachments,
?????????????????????????????????????????????????:????????? out of a series of loud noises, projectiles carrying a huge amount of kinetic energy flew out from the muzzle and flew towards the opposite cruiser!
