Nagato battleship was the main battleship with the largest tonnage and the strongest combat capability of the Foot Basin Navy before the Yamato-class battleship was launched.
Together with her sister ship Mutsu, she is known as one of the seven strongest battleships in the world, known as BIG7!
Historically, these two battleships are the pride of the Foot Basin Navy and have supported the Foot Basin Navy. The flagship of the Foot Basin Combined Fleet Commander Sanben Fifty-six for a long time was the Nagato. When the Foot Basin people attacked the Eagle Sauce Pearl Harbor, Sanben Fifty-six was in command on the Nagato battleship and directed this surprise attack.
This shows how high the status of the Nagato is in the minds of the Foot Basin people!
When they saw that the battleship was attacked, they immediately panicked. All the battleships were on alert and searching for their targets. They didn’t know who attacked them!
If they were allowed to find the despicable attacker, they would definitely tear the other party to pieces!
The Japanese soldiers were furious and quickly found the culprit!
However, unlike what they thought, the enemy who attacked them was not from the surface or underwater, but from the air, which completely stunned the Japanese soldiers!
“The Chinese air force?”
“Damn, how could the Chinese have an air force? I have never seen any Chinese air force planes!”
“If China had planes, they would have launched an air strike against us long ago and would not have waited until today to take action!”
“So, this must be the air force of a certain Western country!”
After realizing that the enemy attacking them was from the air, the people of Jiaoben fell into a brief chaos.
Most of the warships of various countries in this era were designed and built before and after World War I. Although the issue of air defense was slightly considered during the design and construction, the air forces of various countries were very weak at that time and it was difficult to pose too much threat to the navy. Therefore, the anti-aircraft firepower of warships of various countries was not strong.
As the first navy in the Far East, the Jiaoben Navy faced a group of backward agricultural countries that could not even produce large-caliber artillery, let alone fighter planes.
Therefore, their warships are unlikely to be threatened from the air, unless they go to war with the Eagle Sauce people on the other side of the ocean. Otherwise, they basically don’t have to worry about it. Consider the problem of air defense.
After the combined fleet entered the waters near the Celestial Empire, their main task was to clear out the naval warships of the Celestial Empire that remained near the Celestial Empire.
Although these warships were small in tonnage and had poor performance, they were no match for them in a head-on collision.
But if they were to clear out these warships, and if they were desperate and took the opportunity to launch a desperate raid on them on a dark and windy night, it would still be possible to cause damage to the combined fleet!
Although the
Celestial Empire’s warships were small in tonnage, most of them were equipped with torpedoes. They even had some special torpedo boat attack forces. These forces were usually hidden in very concealed positions like a venomous snake, ready to launch a deadly attack at any time.
Torpedoes are something that… The torpedo is very lethal to any warship. Even a battleship of tens of thousands of tons will be somewhat weakened by a torpedo. If it is unlucky enough to be hit in a vital position, it will basically be dead!
Most of the warships of the Combined Fleet are large warships, while the warships of the Celestial Empire are small warships. Even if they can sink the warships of the Celestial Empire after being attacked, it will not be profitable for them, because the warships of the Celestial Empire are worthless, but their warships are extremely valuable. After being damaged, it takes a lot of time and money to repair.
If it is sunk by accident, it will be even more tragic, and it may make the little money that Tianhuang and the people have saved from their teeth go down the drain. , by then they would not be able to explain to Tianhuang, nor to the people!
Therefore, when the Nagato was attacked, the people of Jiaoben were so nervous. As their flagship, the Nagato was the most powerful and expensive warship, and it was also the symbol of the Combined Fleet. If this warship was sunk, it would have a huge impact on the Combined Fleet and Jiaoben. They could not afford this consequence!
So after a brief chaos, the soldiers of Jiaoben hurriedly rushed to the gun positions of the anti-aircraft guns of each warship, ready to open fire.
Because the number of anti-aircraft guns on each warship was limited, some soldiers even erected large-caliber secondary guns and a large number of secondary guns originally used to deal with destroyers and torpedo boats, and aimed them at the Chinese fighter planes in the air!
“Ah, they are rushing towards us! Quick, use the anti-aircraft guns to shoot them down for me!”
On the front deck of the battleship Nagato, the captain was so frightened when he saw the bombers swooping down from the sky, and the Japanese soldiers on the deck were even more frightened.
As the roar of the planes in the sky got closer and closer, this time they could see clearly that the planes that appeared above their heads were indeed engraved with the national flag of the Celestial Empire, which meant that these planes were indeed the Celestial Empire’s air force!
They were all very puzzled. Wasn’t the Celestial Empire’s air force very weak and didn’t dare to fight? Why did it suddenly appear today and look so powerful? Why did this air force suddenly appear today and look so powerful? Why did it suddenly appear today and look so powerful? Why did this air force suddenly appear today and look so powerful? Why did it suddenly appear today and look so powerful? Why did it suddenly appear today and look so powerful?
Why did it suddenly appear today and look so powerful? Why did it suddenly appear today and look so powerful? There must be at least 50 bombers in the air, right?
Fifty bombers were dispatched at once. The strength of the Chinese Air Force seemed to be stronger than that of the Chinese Air Force!
Da da da!
A small number of anti-aircraft guns began to fire. However, because there were many warships in the Combined Fleet and they were relatively densely packed together, the anti-aircraft guns’ firepower stacked together seemed to be relatively dense.
Most of the bombers dispatched by the Chinese Air Force were ordinary bombers, and a small number were torpedo attack aircraft. There were no aircraft like dive bombers that were deadly killers to warships.
After all, Gaul was at the outbreak of World War II. , there was no such aircraft. At present, only the German army was equipped with dive bombers, and the German army did not export its main weapons. After all, if these equipment were seized by other powers, they would be easily imitated through reverse engineering.
If they stole Hans’s own technology and helped their air force make great progress, it would be bad for Hans.
Therefore, almost all the aircraft Hans provided to the Celestial Empire were Gauls’ aircraft. These aircraft were not backward in this era, but compared with Hans’s own air force, they had no advantages at all.
Because there were no dive bombers and the number of torpedo planes was small, the German pilots did not choose to launch a strong attack.
They carried out high-altitude bombing on the injured Nagato and several large Japanese battleships, and returned after dropping bombs.
