The Japanese Navy's combined fleet was indeed defeated, and the defeat was not generally miserable. This huge defeat shocked everyone, and even Akado, who was far away in Germany, knew that the Japanese had once again played a fiasco like Midway, and was shocked to speak for a while. He thought that he had changed the course of the war. Even if the Japanese navy lost to the US navy, it would not have suffered such a sudden loss of blood.
However, he did not expect that the Japanese who were more willing to let go, even in the face of adversity, resolutely chose the stupid craziness. The guys with whom the entire joint fleet can handle it are almost thrown by the Japanese Navy into the waters of the Bismarck Archipelago and played the largest naval battle in human history with the US Navy.
The first was that the assault fleet led by Kurida Keno under the cover of the Japanese navy carrier aircraft attacked the US Navy, and then it was the US carrier aircraft that flattened the Japanese zero fighters to restore the defeat and control the airpower. The Japanese fleet divided into three attempts to encircle the US fleet. All of this seems to be still acting according to Koga Fungichi's script.
However, the situation turned sharply, and the US Navy desperately attacked the Japanese Navy's aircraft carrier fleet. As a result, before sunset, it completed the feat of sinking 7 warships of the Japanese Navy's aircraft carrier fleet. The Japanese finally got together the aircraft carrier's home and was eaten clean by the US Navy.
Nan Yunzhong, the most experienced carrier under Yamamoto ’s fifty-six, died in a battle, and almost all the aviation power accumulated by the Japanese Navy was almost wiped out. When the naval battle hit here, Japan ’s lost pants were gone, even It is a complete annihilation of the US Navy Fleet, and it seems that it can only be regarded as a lingering panic.
But Gu Hefeng, who lost his madness, chose a more crazy desperation. He ordered Kurida Keno ’s assault fleet, and his own interceptor fleet to continue to attack, trying to use the space that the US aircraft carrier fleet could not counterattack at night. Go on. He felt that there was no problem with the ability of the Japanese navy to overwhelm the U.S. Navy in its night warfare, and the current situation was still beneficial to Japan.
So Litian Jiannan and Gu Hefeng, one or two fleets, began to attack the American main fleet, a decisive battle between the largest night-time gun torpedo in history, and thus began.
The essential difference with the German Navy is that the US Navy does not only have destroyers and aircraft carriers. It has little ability to counterattack at night. On the contrary, the US Navy has a large number of destroyers, cruisers, and battleships. The aircraft carrier fleet has relatively comprehensive protection capabilities. So when the Japanese fleet came over, the Americans did not have to wait for death, but began to fight back bravely.
The cannons in the waters of the Bismarck Archipelago shrouded by night, and both sides used radar as a guide, opened the prelude to the artillery fire at a long distance. Americans relied on the advantage of higher radar accuracy to make the first attack at the longest distance, but because of the lag of the gunner's training level, none of their first rounds of shooting hit their opponents with one round.
Conversely, after the Americans opened fire on the Japanese navy, there was no shadow of the Americans on their radar screens, so Kurida Keno and Koga Peak could only continue to advance with their teeth clenched, hoping to stick to their fleet The time when the American fleet was discovered. And their perseverance was finally achieved, and Japan's radar subsequently found its enemy.
So the Japanese navy immediately began a counterattack, and the fleets of both sides began an unusually powerful artillery battle. However, due to luck, until 8:30 in the night, the two sides were still thundering and raining, and there was no decent progress. At 8:34, the balance of the goddess of victory seemed to be biased towards the Japanese army. The King Kong, the leader of the fleet led by Kurida Keno, finally hit a US battleship. The fire became the best way to indicate attack, so the Japanese fleet took the lead in concentrating. Firepower sank the first American battleship to be shot.
However, Kurida Keno ’s fleet deviated from the main wings of the US fleet because of the pursuit of the US battleship and the nearby US Navy destroyer unit that supported the battleship. This also foreshadowed the subsequent decline of the United States.
Guhe Fengyi's attack fleet was now biting the fierce attack of the Halsey fleet. The Yamato battleship did not miss its naval battle this time because of the combined fleet Riboxishan. The 460-mm caliber cannon also showed full power in the night battle, sending the hit American cruiser directly to the bottom of the sea.
This naval battle launched at night fully demonstrated the fierce combat effectiveness of the Japanese navy. The Japanese navy does indeed have a superior level of training in traditional naval forces. If it were not as good as the United States in terms of the number of naval aviation forces and the speed of replenishment, the cost to Americans on the Pacific battlefield would be even heavier.
However, as the fleets of both sides gradually approached, the destroyers of the US Navy stepped forward and exchanged their fleet for a chance to escape. They rushed in front of the Japanese navy fleet and fired torpedoes to force the Japanese navy to focus on these small ships like crazy dogs.
"The Japanese are the ancestors of the Americans compared to the torpedoes!" I don't know who said this in the chaos, so Kurida Keno's squadron made a decision to fate under a slight deviation from the course. The second wrong decision: they estimated the speed of the US fleet sailing, and then launched all the spear torpedoes that could be shot out at an oblique angle.
It is a pity that their estimated speed of the US fleet is wrong, or that Li Tianjian has greatly underestimated the determination of the US fleet to escape. With the rear of the fleet of General Halsey, Spruance led the carrier fleet to the highest speed that could be driven regardless of the formation. Even in order to maintain the speed, even three carriers were discarded.
So these Japanese spear torpedoes hit the scattered scattered ships of the US fleet, including 11 warships including three carriers. However, due to angle problems, the remaining off-target torpedoes rushed towards the interception fleet of Guhe Fengyi, who aggressively pursued the main force of the US fleet.
As a result, dozens of Japanese spear torpedoes stormed into the Japanese navy fleet and suddenly blocked the Japanese navy fleet from continuing to pursue the US Navy. After being hit by the battleship Nagato on the outskirts of the fleet, Koga said that he forgot to give his order pale. Until another cruiser was sunk, the Japanese fleet began to panic avoid these deadly threats.
So when the zero point arrived, the US fleet easily broke away from contact with the Japanese fleet and began moving northward to avoid the Japanese navy's pursuit. The Japanese Navy ’s Kurida Kennan assault fleet is rejoicing for his shocking results. The Guhefeng interceptor fleet is doing various snake-shaped maneuvers because it is
ambushed by the US Navy submarine
, and it is simply unable to chase the enemy ahead.
Before dawn, the Japanese navy had to leave the battlefield and retreat toward New Guinea Island. Kurida Kennan stubbornly reported his feat that hit the US fleet, while Koga Peak was sadly cut in the commander's cabin of the battleship Yamato and escaped with death. Blame for his defeat. It is a pity that he committed suicide too early and closed his eyes before the base camp investigated the truth of the torpedo attack.
No wonder he committed suicide by cutting his belly. Who would have thought that his own torpedo passed through the enemy's fleet and attacked his own? That is because the range of the spear torpedo is really amazing, even if the country launches the torpedo, it may not have such a long range.
After the Japanese fleet returned to New Guinea, the Nagasumi, the first shot by the Guhefeng First Fleet, and the battleship Mutsu, which was subsequently hit by a spear torpedo, were slowed by serious injuries and were sunk by the counterattack American carrier aircraft. The news returned to the base camp, and the Japanese navy completely collapsed. The two battleships were injured by the United States during the night battle and eventually sank. The loss of the fleet was more than half. This is an intolerable failure for the arrogant Japanese Navy.
Although Kurida Kenano performed well in the entire naval battle and achieved the results of sinking most of the US warships, he fell into passiveness in the subsequent investigation of the torpedo accidental injury. In fact, he was really blamed. The spear torpedo did not meet for a hundred years. The dumb bomb actually hit the battleship Yamato. Yamato took the torpedo back to Wugang, and the truth surfaced.
It ’s no complaint that Kurita Keno died. This torpedo was actually launched by the destroyer Zhongshi Yu in his fleet. The number on the torpedo body allowed the investigation to go very smoothly. If Kurita Keno knows about the stalks of snow, wind and rain in later generations, Maybe he wouldn't bring such a beast-like friendly army when he died.
In short, the battle in the waters of the Bismarck Archipelago caused the Japanese navy fleet to die again in an instant. The mighty combined fleet was weak in Nishiyama, and the Japanese navy could no longer find a commander who could provoke a beam. So when Yamashita Fengwen learned that the 2nd Division was assisting the Malays, Yamamoto 56 met in his office with the special envoy of "Beihe" sent by the senior navy.
"Marshal Yamamoto 56! I am instructed to continue to command the joint fleet and continue to work for His Majesty the Emperor ... Our navy is now at the most dangerous time. Please be sure to put down your prejudices and serve the Great Japanese Empire ..." The person bowed in front of Yamamoto and sincerely persuaded.
"My fifty-six life in Yamamoto is destined for the navy." The former joint fleet commander also bent his waist to interrupt the other party's words: "Please, His Majesty the Emperor, Yamamoto must coexist with the joint fleet! "Mobile phone users please visit http: //
