Chapter 1494 Sinking the Izumo Kaga
PS: I am very grateful to the book friend "xixiqp788" for the reward of 100,000 starting coins yesterday, which made this book the leader of the book. Today is ten updates for him.
—————
The two Japanese escort groups are combined, and the fleet is not as wide as the aircraft carrier by hundreds of kilometers. Because the fleet does not have aviation cover, the formation is relatively dense, and the formed formation is just right for the entire fleet to be in the best air defense and anti-submarine. in the network.
But when missiles emerged from the water in the middle of the fleet, such a formation was simply a disaster.
Accompanied by the bubbles rising from the water surface, under the squeeze of the air, the supersonic anti-ship missiles ejected from the missile compartment of the Akula submarine to the surface one after another, when the ramjet engines were started one after another on the water surface of about one meter, Only then did the entire Japanese fleet realize that it was surrounded.
But it was already too late at this time. The missiles that came out were already very close to the warship. Even the high-definition camera on the warship could clearly see the whole process of launching the underwater missile.
Missiles rushed out of the water one after another, and the moment the ramjet was ignited, the missiles made a deafening sonic boom, and it was too late.
The missiles flying at high speed close to the surface of the sea did not even have time to lock on the anti-aircraft missiles on the destroyers of the Japanese Navy, and even the jamming bombs were too late to be released, and one after another the missiles had already crashed into the Japanese warships that were very close to each other. superior.
And underwater, a large number of torpedoes are also launched from the submarine's torpedo tubes one after another when the missiles appear.
The smart torpedoes were extremely fast, and the successive explosions caused the entire fleet, which was originally extremely calm, to become chaotic all of a sudden.
In particular, the two quasi-aircraft carriers in the middle of the double escort group are the key targets of the attack.
The nearly 30,000-ton Izumo and Kaga inherited the names of the aircraft carriers of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. They are also facing a huge crisis at the moment, just like the fate of Japanese aircraft carriers in the Pacific War of World War II.
The huge body of the Izumo was the first to be attacked. A supersonic anti-ship missile directly drilled into the island of the quasi-aircraft carrier. The huge impact force knocked the sharp knife out of a huge depression, almost piercing through it. The entire ship island.
The ensuing explosion directly blew up the entire island into ruins. Huge pieces of radar boards and debris were thrown into the sea during the explosion. After the huge explosion, the Izumo was left A straight-through deck is burning, and the island on the right side has disappeared without a trace.
The ship's control system and command system,
Huge hit, power system and heading out of control, as if a person's head had been cut off, nothing left.
The Japanese sailors on the straight-through deck and the damage control department did not have time to put out the fire, and the second missile came over immediately. This time it directly hit the rear deck of the Izumo and exploded on the side of the deck. A huge gap with a diameter of nearly five meters was made, which just blew up the fuel delivery pipeline on the Izumo. A large amount of fuel sprayed out and was quickly ignited by the flames of the explosion.
The second half of the entire deck was completely covered by the spreading fire, and many Japanese sailors on the deck were also affected by the fire.
Under such circumstances, even if the Izumo can extinguish the flames, it is on the verge of being scrapped. Even if it can be pulled back for overhaul, the complete structural strength of the ship will have a huge impact.
It's just that the Izumo didn't even have the chance to go back for overhaul, and the two supersonic missiles had already brought the entire quasi-aircraft carrier to its knees.
The Izumo, which was out of control, was ruined by the next two torpedoes. The two torpedoes mercilessly hit the waterline on the right side of the Izumo at the same time, and exploded at a depth of about five meters from the aircraft carrier's waterline.
The 533 mm torpedo tube, with a charge of 375 kg, the power of the underwater explosion increased the power of the explosive by 800 times. When the two torpedoes exploded at the same time, the entire hull of the Izumo tilted nearly forty-five to the left. At a high speed, two large holes were opened on the water, each with a diameter of seven or eight meters.
Moreover, the location of the explosion was still above the watertight cabin of the aircraft carrier, and the turbulent sea water rushed directly into the hull. The huge Izumo, under the violent shaking, accompanied by two huge water jets, hit the sea again heavily , The entire hull is making a huge metal twisting sound.
A large number of sailors of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, under the huge vibration, shook their noses, noses, and faces swollen like lanterns.
But this is not the most tragic thing. What is really tragic is that the rapidly descending hull has already tilted to the right by nearly sixty or seventy degrees. The gap in the side of the deck got in and burned in the hangars on the second and third floors below.
A large number of weapons and ammunition placed at the back were already very dangerous due to bumps and bumps. Under the fire, they were quickly detonated.
Before the two huge underwater gaps silenced the Izumo, they detonated the ammunition in the hangars on the second and third floors, and directly blasted a further hole in the rear deck of the entire quasi-aircraft carrier. A few meters long opening, more sea water poured in.
At this moment, the fate of the Izumo is like a candle in the wind. It is certain that it will be extinguished, but it is only a matter of time.
The fate of the Kaga next to it was not much better than that of the Izumo. Not only was it hit by three supersonic anti-ship missiles at the same time, it was also hit by three torpedoes below the waterline at the same time.
The nearly 30,000-ton warship has completely tilted on the sea. Fortunately, the upper half of the Kaga was not attacked. Many Japanese naval soldiers still had the opportunity to jump into the sea to escape.
The Japanese Self-Defense Forces are not the former Imperial Japanese Navy, nor were they brainwashed by Bushido. They also understand the relationship between warships and personnel.
However, all the soldiers of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force were unable to face the fate of being completely sunk by the two most powerful warships.
Those Japanese sailors who dived to escape were all in tears, looking at the Izumo and Kaga that were gradually sinking in front of their eyes.
And these two brand-new quasi-aircraft carriers have not been in service for a few years, and they are also the pride of all Japanese sailors. At this moment, this pride is being disintegrated and shredded, and it will soon become a meaningless seabed New habitats for organisms.
If it was placed during World War II, everyone would probably have the heart to have a caesarean section.
However, whether it is the Izumo or the Kaga, they will never be alone in this sea area, because there are other warships in the double escort group, and they will go to the bottom of the sea to accompany them immediately.
