The battleship Yamashiro belongs to the Japanese Fuso class. Three years ago, it had just undergone a series of modernizations and became one of the more advanced battleships among the battleships in Japan. This battleship has a full-load displacement of more than 40,000 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 superiority" theory, the Fuso-class battleships used a total of six double-mounted 356 mm caliber artillery. According to the number of artillery, the number of artillery guns of this battleship reached a staggering 12. At least in terms of the number of artillery doors, it overwhelmed all the battleships of the great powers of the time. It can be said that it is a battleship with quite strange data.
According to the game data, the data of this battleship looks very good, it can even be said to be the top super weapon in the battleship. After all, the German Bismarck class battleship that served later than this battleship only had 8 artillery pieces, and the last British avant-garde battleship had only 8 artillery pieces.
However, the shortcomings and advantages of the Fuso-class battleships in Japan are as outstanding as they are. The poor practical level behind the data is impressive, and it is really uncomfortable. Because there are six main gun turrets arranged on the hull, there is a strange and unforgettable layout inside the hull: ammunition depot, boiler room, ammunition depot, boiler room, ammunition depot ...
As long as you are not stupid, you can see that this layout is almost the same as finding death in battleship battles that emphasize artillery. Once the hull is hit by the enemy, the battleship will immediately become a giant firecracker, bursting out the most brilliant fire.
The entire 6 turrets, ammunition depots, and boilers must be secured with long armor protection to ensure their safety, so the armor of the entire battleship must be greatly extended, so the average is this. Where the protective armor is installed, the thickness of the armor is not enough, which explains the embarrassing situation of this warship from another angle: there are more places that need protection than others, and the possibility of being hit when hit is greater. Too much dispersion leads to thinner, and the possibility of breakdown is higher.
However, these shortcomings are insignificant small things in front of the crazy Bushido spirit of the Japanese Navy. After all, everyone is convinced that God is blessing himself. Since God bless his own emperor, he will not be defeated by the enemy. . Therefore, the so-called lack of armor protection and the issue of ammunition depots have always felt that Japanese senior officials are not particularly important.
Xiaodian Chang Zuoweimen (this older brother is the 41-year-old captain of the Yamashiro, please use it here not to be surprised) standing in his command room with his hands on his back, not far from his side, the helmsman is holding the steering wheel motionless . Zuoweimen received news of Yamamoto's retreat from Pearl Harbor, and at the same time, he received a combat order from the Second Battle Fleet, allowing him to lead a squadron south to support the Japanese offensive in Australia.
Behind the battleship Yamashiro were two heavy cruisers, the Kaohsiung and the Mayer. This fleet was ordered to support Japanese soldiers along the coast. They attacked Australia ’s densely populated eastern area and headed south. Their combat mission was very simple. It is to cover the Japanese coastal forces and shell the resistance of the resistance.
Of course, in addition to these three main battleships, there are also several destroyers traveling together. These battleships form a complete Japanese squadron and sail toward their combat seas.
"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 do not have the habit of stealing and stealing lives, and would rather die on the battlefield than a despicable choice. Retreat! "Zuoweimen is a very extreme Japanese militarist. This guy once commanded a warship to shell the Chinese defenders during the Battle of Songhu. In the navy, he was given the name of a big evil wolf because of his militancy.
At this time, he still didn't understand why Yamamoto chose to retreat from Oahu, a seemingly disgraced approach. In his view, even if he was fighting there until the last person, he shouldn't be a bad choice to retreat. It was precisely because this Zuoweimen did not agree with Sanben ’s idea that Yamamoto secretly instructed General Kurida to transfer this Zuoweimen to the Second Battle Fleet and sent him an insignificant task from afar, so as not to damage him at a critical time. The big picture.
As the leader of a ship and the highest commander of the entire squadron, when he complained about Marshal Yamamoto, most of the people under his command could only pretend to be inaudible. Everyone was silent, letting this left guard general greet his supreme chief with swear words. They not only have to stand, but also stand firm on the swinging bridge, which is a technical task in itself.
To be honest, the tall central building of the Japanese battleship seriously affected the appearance of the battleship, and even destroyed the comfort. But the stubborn Japanese naval designers and users have concluded in the ancient Japanese-Russian naval battle that the higher the battleship's command tower is, the better.
World War II is a great era of technological development. Before this era came, everyone was in a budding period of inexperienced exploration. At this time, all countries had their own unique insights summarized in the war, such as the strange tank destroyer theory of the United States, the strange high-speed bomber theory of Germany, and the stubborn biplane of the British Navy.
Do n’t think that the Americans are so powerful and powerful, in fact, the detours they take will definitely make those who admire American power blind their eyes. The theory of American armored soldiers during World War II was this: tanks were used to support infantry, and tank destroyers were used to destroy tanks.
So the standard process of combat of the American armored forces is this: m4 tanks accompany the infantry and move forward bravely. If they encounter enemy tank forces, the m4 tank commander calls the nearby m10 tank destroyer responsible for support to rush to eliminate the trouble Enemy tank. The situation encountered by the Americans in actual combat is that such an m4 tank was beaten by German tanks. When the m10 tank destroyer arrived, the Germans had cleaned the battlefield and ate it after a meal. .
The experience gained by the Japanese navy is that the higher the aiming equipment of the naval battleship is, the better, so that it can find its own enemies faster and can also provide more accurate shooting parameters for artillery battles. How to listen to this theory is correct, of course, if there is no such invention as radar.
Do n’t look at today ’s electronics manufacturers such as Panasonic and Sony in Japan. It seems that the world ’s advanced electronic technology is involved in Japan, but in 1938, the Japanese really did not have a few advanced technologies in their hands, let them engage in aircraft carrier Conceptual items of this kind seem to keep up with the world trend, but when the details such as radar are refined, the gap immediately appears.
In 1934, before the war, Germany purchased and applied for a series of technical patents, and began to produce and improve the latest flat position display equipment in China. This device finally allowed Germany to use its own radar in early 1937. Planar scanning imaging is a well-known method of visually representing targets in a 360-degree range using a circular scan.
The current radar system in the United States is still the oldest original oscilloscope. Only a very experienced radar operator can find the desired target echo from those chaotic waveforms. Of course, even with this radar, the US Navy has preserved its fleet in the waters off Oahu, forcing Yamamoto to return without success.
From a series of information provided by the Germans, the Japanese military knew the US military ’s lead on the radar, but the current Japanese military ca n’t copy it at all, because the evil with the Germans and the confidentiality of the latest technology, Japan has not been able to Germany has learned the latest technology from the world. So until now, the Japanese navy can only use the ancient era method of standing tall and looking far to improve the aiming distance of its warships.
Of course, because the United Kingdom has its own unique technology on the magnetron, with the help of the United Kingdom, the United States radar using an unknown oscilloscope has already been pulled into the German and Germany in terms of detection accuracy and distance. Gap.
But this does not mean that the gap in radar technology between Germany and the United States has been narrowed. The reason is that weapons and equipment are used, not just data competition. The US radar is not reliable due to technical reasons, and it has no stability at work. It is almost impossible to debug today. When it is turned on tomorrow, I do n’t know what it is. In the eyes of the US radar soldier, the radar is just a thing. use.
The Japanese fleet was advancing on the sea, and the huge bow cut the sea water, leaving a huge wave on the sea. The huge chrysanthemum of the ship's bow is gleaming against the sea and the sun. Of course, according to the current standard, it is a bit of a low-level fun feeling to install a chrysanthemum on the face as a decoration.
Zuoweimen is still venting his dissatisfaction with Yamamoto's withdrawal. He didn't know that he was on the route of his fleet. A German u-type submarine that never appeared on the Pacific Ocean was staring at him with a periscope. . Of course, if he knew it, he would n’t have to manage Yamamoto ’s troop withdrawal from the waters of Oahu.
"Same as the Soviet battleship! There is no common sense of anti-submarine!" Prian leaned on the periscope, staring at his prey with concentration, and whispered, "Wait for it to come! Wait for it to come! Don't Anxious! This is a battleship! Sunk him. We all go back to Germany and let the Marshal open champagne for us! "
