Chapter 153: The Final Solution to the United States Western Australia, Perth Harbor, the modified version of the battleship Yamato after being eroded by the shipgirl The warm autumn sunshine in the southern hemisphere shines down from the cloudless clear blue sky, bringing everyone a touch of lazy warmth.
Seagulls chirp in the distance from time to time, making this port farthest away from war in the world seem extraordinarily peaceful, peaceful and quiet.
Since the end of the last mopping up operation in the southern Indian Ocean, the "Blue Mermaid" Japanese Navy women's fleet with the Yamato as its flagship has been parked here to rest for more than a year because it has not received a new mission and has been idle for a long time. .
Since we have been unable to hear the sound of gunfire and explosions, and we cannot see gunpowder smoke and blood, we have enough food and clothing every day, and have nothing to do.
Whether it is the female soldiers on the ship or a few passengers with special status, if not they can still get the latest information through some channels.
If you talk about war news, you simply forget that the world is still in the midst of an unprecedentedly cruel war.
"Above the exit of the Baltic Sea in the dense fog and rough waves of the Skagerrak, fires burned, gunfire echoed, and ships were burned into bright fireballs amidst the explosions.
Commander of the U.S.
Atlantic Fleet, nicknamed the Bull Gen.
William Frederick Halsey, Jr., in After completing the last long journey across the Atlantic, he finally found a burial place in line with the sense of military honor for his fleet that had suffered so much and was dying of radiation sickness.
It was a glorious journey belonging to the U.S.
Navy.
It seems that it will come to an end from now on.”
Bathed in the warm autumn sunshine of the southern hemisphere, Wang Qiu sat on the small sofa in the captain's cabin of the Yamato, leisurely reading a German newspaper that was sent halfway across the world by postal plane and specially translated by professionals.
Among the war news published in this newspaper, a German reporter used a rather literary style to describe in detail the final battle of the U.S.
Atlantic Fleet under the command of Admiral Halsey.
At this time, almost two months had passed since the Battle of Skagerrak in which Halsey's fleet sank and the entire army was wiped out.
In fact, as early as when the Halsey fleet had just turned its back on the rising mushroom cloud and hurriedly escaped from the nuclear-exploded Guantanamo Naval Base, traces of this fleet had already been launched by the orbiting reconnaissance satellite Wang Qiu.
The black technology props in Doraemon World have been noticed.
But the problem was that everyone at the time thought it was just a group of defeated soldiers who spontaneously fled for their lives, so they didn't pay much attention to Halsey's fleet at first.
Later, through satellite surveillance, it was discovered that the U.S. fleet at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, after leaving the Caribbean, did not go north to ports on the east coast of the United States, nor to the U.S. military-occupied areas in South America.
Instead, it headed east across the Atlantic Ocean. , which attracted some attention.
But most people at the time believed that the reason why this shabby little fleet crossed the Atlantic was to go into exile in South Africa.
When he was in Guantánamo, Admiral Halsey assembled a battleship, a light cruiser, and two regular ships.
Aircraft carriers, one light aircraft carrier, fourteen destroyers, five ocean-going supply ships, twelve coastal defense ships and eight fast tankers.
But after he escaped from the nuclear-bombed Guantánamo, the entire fleet was reduced to one battleship, one light cruiser, eight destroyers, one ocean-going supply ship, two fast tankers and his flagship "Valley Forge" No. 1 aircraft carrier, the other ships were either destroyed in the nuclear explosion, or were seriously damaged and unable to carry out long-distance voyages, and could only be abandoned on the spot after withdrawing the manpower.
Obviously, with such a pitifully small fleet, even if it could reach the other side of the Atlantic, it would not be able to do much against the powerful Soviet Red Navy.
Moreover, after all, these ships escaped from under the mushroom cloud of the nuclear explosion.
I am afraid no one can tell how much damage they suffered.
In fact, according to the assessment of Soviet and Japanese naval professionals, whether this "dying fleet" with "only half a breath left", let alone a naval battle with the Soviets, can survive the stormy Atlantic Ocean in winter. , I’m afraid it’s still unknown.
However, it has to be said that the U.S.
Navy’s world Admiral Halsey, who was born in a family, is quite capable.
He managed to overcome the shortage of supplies and the outbreak of radiation sickness with incredible perseverance in such a situation with few troops and panic.
Despite many difficulties, he led his fleet through the last part of the expedition.
After leaving Guantanamo, which was destroyed by the atomic bomb, Halsey's fleet did not cross the Atlantic Ocean directly eastward, but took a northeasterly route, all the way into the Arctic waters densely covered with drifting ice.
At the same time, with the help of the thick fog and snow in the North Atlantic, it successfully sailed Covering his tracks.
Then, the Halsey fleet, which had almost reached the waters of Iceland, turned south, bypassed the island of Great Britain from the north, and then followed the east coast of Britain, inserted into the Norwegian Sea, and reached the doorstep of the Soviets.
It was not until this time that the Soviets, who once again captured the traces of Halsey's fleet, suddenly realized that this small American fleet, which had narrowly escaped death in the Guantanamo nuclear explosion, had really gone to the other side of the Atlantic to risk its life.
So, the next thing was naturally for the Soviets to angrily mobilize their troops and prepare to kill these daring Americans.
Helplessly, the Soviet Union, which was originally prepared to slap the Halsey fleet to death, soon found out very embarrassingly that it was temporarily in a state of extremely empty available troops in the Norwegian Sea area.
Due to the large eruption of the Icelandic volcano, it had a global impact.
The catastrophic impact of the climate environment, the severe devastation caused by large-scale nuclear wars to European countries, and the horrific catastrophe of long-term famine.
Today, most of Europe is in a tragic world of chaos and death.
Therefore, in view of the severe difficulties in logistical supply, the overall collapse of European social order, and in order to avoid too many troubles, the Soviet Red Army currently deploys very weak forces in Western Europe, Central Europe, and Northern Europe.
The main ground forces are Troops are currently deployed on the battlefield in the Middle East, fighting against the Turks, Iranians, and Arabs day and night, while also placing various terrorists and "suspected terrorists" into labor camps.

The Soviet strategic air force bombed forward bases in America, located in southern Spain and Morocco in North Africa, very far away from the Norwegian Sea.
Then, around the Norwegian Sea, Britain was in the Dark Ages of anarchy and cannibalism, and France, Belgium and the Netherlands had basically regressed back to the Middle Ages.
The Soviet Union had no troops stationed in France and Belgium, and only had symbolic garrisons in Germany and the Netherlands.
It did have a squadron each in Denmark and Norway.
After discovering that the Halsey fleet had entered the Norwegian Sea, it immediately took off to meet the enemy.
However, because it was not The naval aviation force had not been trained to attack ships, and they did not dare to dive at low altitudes.
They only dropped bombs at high altitudes, so their bombing effects were very poor.
Not even a single bomb hit the enemy ship.
Moreover, it is now winter in the Northern Hemisphere, and the Norwegian Sea is a high-latitude sea.
The days are very short and the nights are very long.
There are generally only a few hours of daylight every day.
By the time the Soviet planes in the first attack wave dropped their bombs and returned, the battlefield would have been almost dark.
Most military aircraft these days lack the ability to fight at night.
It would be fine to bomb unmoving cities at night, but bombing warships would be more practical.
If it’s not there, we can only sit and wait for the next day.
In addition, the genuine Soviet naval aviation, which specializes in dealing with warships, has just received orders at this time to make an emergency transfer to the Norwegian Sea frontline from other places.
It will take some time before they actually arrive at the frontline base.
In addition to the insufficient number of aircraft and mismatched expertise, the naval ships could not catch up for a while.
Today, the Baltic Fleet of the Soviet Red Navy is basically an empty frame, because the main ships are not in the Baltic Sea: Leningrad, Tallinn and Stockholm has been hit by nuclear explosions before and has not fully recovered yet.
Looking around the entire Baltic Sea, there is almost no military port with complete facilities.
As a result, most of the remaining ships of the Soviet Red Navy's Baltic Fleet had to be moved to Murmansk, an ice-free port in the Arctic Circle, to spend the winter before the military ports in Leningrad and Kronshtak were repaired.
This winter Even the fleet headquarters has been moved there, and it will not be moved back to Leningrad for at least a few years.
Although after learning about the incoming Halsey fleet, two Soviet aircraft carriers, one Soviet battleship and five cruisers stationed in Murmansk, plus a large number of destroyers, all urgently weighed anchor and went to snipe Halsey.
Erxi Fleet, but it will take a lot of time to reach the sea area.
In short, the use of the Soviet Red Army to control most European countries is relatively weak, and the governments and armies of these countries themselves are also shaky, and the border security has huge loopholes in name only, and God knows how to get it.
Maybe it is a blessing from God.
With good luck, the Halsey fleet, which was on a desperate expedition from Cuba, finally staggered to the Skagerrak Strait at the exit of the Baltic Sea, barely touching the gate of the Soviet Union.
However, the good luck of General William Frederick Halsey Jr., "The Bull", only ended there.
In the Skagerrak, Admiral Halsey and his fleet finally reached the end of their rope and came to their burial place.
At the same time, they also used their heroic sacrifices to bring a successful conclusion to the journey of the Federal Navy of the United States of America.
When Halsey's fleet arrived at the Skagerrak, the urgently dispatched Soviet naval and air forces were already waiting.
The first was a massive air raid by the Soviet Naval Aviation.
Different from the previous symbolic harassment by the Army Aviation, this time there were more than a hundred dive bombers and torpedo planes of the Soviet Naval Aviation, under the cover of fighter jets.
Come to kill.
On the other side, although Admiral Halsey still has the "Valley Forge" aircraft carrier, he can only get fourteen F9F "Panther" carrier-based fighter jets.
Most of the aircraft tethered to the deck are on They were knocked overboard by the shock wave during the nuclear explosion, or at least were severely damaged, and pilots generally suffered from radiation sickness.
Now there are very few left who are healthy enough to fly airplanes into the sky.
Even among the fourteen people now, there are several sick men who are on the verge of collapse.
To be fair, the F9F Black Panther fighter jet with straight wings and a blue fuselage is indeed a good carrier-based aircraft.
Unfortunately, with such a disparity in quantity comparison, this performance advantage is really not worth mentioning.
The physical disadvantage of the pilots further widened the gap between the offensive and defensive sides.
After only a few minutes of fighting, all fourteen F9F "Panther" carrier-based fighter jets of the USS "Valley Forge" were shot down.
Subsequently, the USS Valley Forge, which lost its aircraft cover, became the prey of wanton massacre by Soviet naval aviation.
Although these prey are not lambs and fat pigs that are easy to slaughter, but hedgehogs that are difficult to eat.
Facing the incoming Soviet aircraft, the battleship "Vermont", the aircraft carrier "Valley Forge", the light cruiser "Phoenix" and various US destroyers and transport ships equipped with anti-aircraft guns dragged their long white sterns and launched large-scale air defense and evasive maneuvers on the sea surface of the battlefield.

The naval guns also fired fiercely into the air.
The shells and colored tracer bullets equipped with radio proximity fuses dragged out long rains of fire, flying from the front, rear, left and right of the Soviet dive bombers, and the fierce anti-aircraft firepower The sky was filled with smoke from exploding shells.
However, the pilots of the Soviet naval aviation were already experienced veterans, and they quickly skillfully activated the radio jammer, causing the radio proximity fuses that the US military was proud of to self-destruct in sheets at low altitudes.
Then, they continued to skillfully fly through the exploding anti-aircraft gun smoke and dense rain-like ballistic trajectories, although from time to time, unlucky Soviet planes slowly fell from the sky dragging black smoke, or even more unlucky volleyed.
It exploded into countless tiny pieces of aluminum, but more aircraft successfully broke through the U.S. fleet's anti-aircraft firepower network and successfully dropped aerial bombs or torpedoes.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed on the deck of the USS Valley Forge.
A 500-kilogram aerial bomb directly hit the flight deck of the aircraft carrier, instantly penetrated the top armor plate, then continued to penetrate the layers of compartments below the deck, and cut through the layers of the hull.
The last one got into the pilot's rest cabin in the middle and lower part of the aircraft carrier, and suddenly there was an earth-shaking loud noise inside the "Valley Forge" aircraft carrier.
At the same time, another Soviet naval aviation dive bomber luckily rushed within a hundred meters of the aircraft carrier "Valley Forge" and successfully dropped its bomb before pulling away and taking off.
The dropped aerial bomb continued to fly forward based on inertia, landed on the water, and bounced off the sea like a floating stone, hitting the hull of the "Valley Forge" aircraft carrier from the side, and suddenly He got into the belly of the ship In the blink of an eye, a series of deafening and huge explosions came from the interior of the "Valley Forge" aircraft carrier.
Thick smoke and flames rushed out from the interior of the aircraft carrier, quickly triggering a fire in the aviation fuel depot inside the aircraft carrier, and the aviation fuel depot fire The disaster soon spread to the ammunition depot of the USS Valley Forge.
With a flash of dazzling red light, several anti-aircraft turrets of the aircraft carrier were lifted into the air more than a hundred meters high together with the radar commander, as if As light as a matchbox.
Hot steel fragments and charred human flesh limbs fell into the sea, causing large splashes.
Next, a huge fuel tank in the cabin of the USS Valley Forge seemed to have been directly penetrated by the explosive steel fragments.
A large amount of fuel leaked out and quickly filled all the decks below, wherever it flowed.
Wherever the fire went, it was filled with black smoke and scorching flames.
Finally, on the flight deck of the "Valley Forge", a dazzling fire rose up with a "boom".
The aircraft carrier damage control team members who were busy on the deck were suddenly submerged in the fire that was like a tsunami.
The spreading fire The fire also detonated the ammunition piled on the deck, and a series of explosions suddenly sounded like firecrackers at a festival, but there was no joy at all.
Instead, it only made people feel extremely depressing terror.
Despite this, the sailors on the aircraft carrier deck continued to desperately fight the fire.
Due to the extremely high temperature of the fire caused by gasoline, the water sprayed by the fire hose immediately atomized, just like adding fuel to the fire.
Several surrounding destroyers also tried to surround the ship to put out the fire, but to no avail.
The raging fire was burning in the bottom compartment of the aircraft carrier, and the steel plates of the compartments were burned red.
Just watering from the outside was of no use.
Moreover, these U.S.
Navy destroyers that sprayed water to put out fires were also facing indiscriminate bombing by Soviet naval aviation at this moment.
It was hard to say how much attention they could devote to putting out fires.
While General Halsey's flagship "Valley Forge" aircraft carrier was struggling amidst thick smoke, explosions and flames, the ocean-going supply ship and two fast tankers in his fleet, which had weaker anti-aircraft firepower, had already been attacked.
It turned into a bright giant torch, the flames shot into the sky, and the smoke covered the sun.
Some people on the deck could escape by jumping into the water, but the people in the countless compartments below the deck could only be burned to death in the fire, smoked to death, or even suffocated alive after their own people directly closed the watertight hatches.
In addition, two destroyers were also sunk in this wave of air strikes.
After the first wave of air strikes, the USS Valley Forge struggled for a while, but ultimately failed to control the fire.
The spreading internal fire and successive ammunition explosions directly burned the power compartment, causing the aircraft carrier to lose power.
Will spin in circles.
Slowly, the stopped ship began to tilt to one side, and all the vehicles and people on the deck were dumped into the sea like toys.
Even on the light cruiser "Phoenix" which was quite far away from the "Forge Forge" aircraft carrier, they could hear the continuous explosions coming from the interior of the "Forge Forge" aircraft carrier.
One hundred pounds, one thousand pounds of aerial bombs were making terrible noises while biting into the broken body of the "Valley Forge" aircraft carrier.
At the same time, the bridge near the central elevator of the "Valley Forge" aircraft carrier was burned red by the fire.
Everyone inside who had not had time to escape was trapped in the fire.
Due to the power outage of the entire ship, the lighting system basically collapsed, leaving a place of darkness. , it is already very difficult to find another way to evacuate.
Then, the fire pumps lost pressure and the sprinkler system failed.
After a while, all the flammable materials on the outside of the island-shaped bridge of the USS Valley Forge, including cables and signal flags, were burned to the ground, leaving only a lone charred flagpole, like a Bare ugly dead trees.
When the distressed Admiral Halsey was dragged into a small boat by the sailors and escaped from the Valley Forge, the aircraft carrier's antenna had been twisted and bent, the chimney was torn, and there were flames everywhere on the huge hull.
Emerging from the breach, the soldiers in the engine room seemed to have been burned to death.

The next moment, as if to see off General Halsey, as if to confirm the determination of the pilots, suddenly, a shocking loud noise erupted from inside the aircraft carrier "Valley Forge", and a plume shot into the sky from the deck behind the ship.
A pillar of fire hundreds of meters high.
The hull shook violently, and the shock wave of the explosion instantly blew away the sailors waiting to release the lifeboats on the deck.
With the huge explosion, the huge aircraft carrier first pushed its bow upwards, rushed suddenly, and then began to sink rapidly from the bow.
The stern tilted upwards, and the huge all-copper propeller rushed into the sky, and finally was submerged forever. seabed When the "Valley Forge" aircraft carrier sank amid explosions and flames, the "Vermont" battleship, which had thick skin, strong armor, fierce anti-aircraft firepower and strong survivability, was caught in the first wave of air attacks by the Soviet naval aviation.
Without becoming the main target, the damage was relatively minor.
But the problem is that when almost all the U.S. naval officers and soldiers on the Skagerrak Strait battlefield were attracted most of their attention by the burning "Valley Forge" aircraft carrier, the "C13" that had been ambushing in this sea area for a long time Two Soviet submarines, the USS Vermont and the USS C11, took the opportunity to launch a lightning attack on the battleship USS Vermont.
Eight white torpedo marks suddenly appeared on the sea, giving the Americans no time to react.
In an instant, the battleship "Vermont" had no time to evade and was hit by three mines on its port side, and the bone-cold water poured into the cabin like a waterfall.
Although the US military damage control team tried their best to rescue, the pumping speed was far unable to match the speed of seawater pouring in, and the tilt angle continued to increase.
Seeing the huge battleship tilting to one side, the USS Vermont's captain had no choice but to open the watertight hatch and fill a part of the starboard engine room with water to balance the entire hull.
More seawater surged into the cabins in an instant.
A considerable number of the US military crew members in these cabins had no time to evacuate, and their superiors had no time or could not notify them.
In the blink of an eye, these people were submerged in the cold water.
The hatches back to other cabins have been tightly closed and sealed.
There is no way out.
They can only drown and suffocate little by little in the sea water.
Relying on this method that was close to self-mutilation, after some efforts, the tilt of the battleship "Vermont" was stopped, but the speed was also reduced by nearly half.
The shocked US military was just about to launch anti-submarine operations, but the ships of the Soviet Red Navy had already broken through the fog and appeared from the sea level.
Although, what arrived at this moment was only a small reconnaissance formation composed of four Soviet destroyers that set sail from Gothenburg, Sweden.
As the light cruiser "Phoenix" is busy rescuing its own crew members who fell into the water in the icy Skagerrak Strait in winter, the sailors who fell into the water can only survive for half an hour at most before freezing to death.
Therefore, next, a six-month battle A naval battle between an American destroyer and four Soviet destroyers rumbled in the Skagerrak Strait.
After a fierce chase and fight, although a considerable number of sailors suffered from radiation sickness, and the observation facilities on the ship were seriously damaged by the nuclear explosion in Guantánamo, with more troops and richer experience, , the ships are also more cutting-edge, and there is also a battleship The battleships provided long-range fire support, and the U.S. destroyer fleet finally managed to win a dismal victory.
At the cost of two of its own destroyers being sunk and two destroyers severely damaged, it sank three incoming Soviet destroyers, forcing The remaining Soviet destroyer was wounded and escaped.
However, at the same time, the battleship "Vermont", which was an eye-catching target, was unlucky to be hit by a torpedo again in the melee due to its greatly reduced speed and difficulty in evasion.
The entire ship took in more than 4,000 tons of water and was completely It lost its power and turned into an iron shell floating on the sea.
For this reason, Admiral Halsey, who had just escaped from the sunken original flagship "Valley Forge" aircraft carrier and was still sitting in the lifeboat, had to give up his plan to transfer to the battleship "Vermont" and instead sailed on the "Vermont" Phoenix" light cruiser hoisted his Atlantic Fleet commander's flag.
Then, to make matters worse, the U.S.
Navy officers and soldiers who had just beaten away the Soviet destroyer and were themselves scarred and exhausted had not had time to take a breath.
A second wave of Soviet naval aviation's larger offensive also followed.
More than a hundred dive bombers and torpedo planes flew viciously at the remaining ships of Halsey's fleet, which had been severely reduced in number and was in a hurry, from various directions.
At this point, the end of Halsey's fleet finally comes More than ten hours later, when the main fleet of the Soviet Red Navy's Baltic Fleet set off from the wintering anchorage of Murmansk and rushed slowly all the way to the Skagerrak Strait, the foggy sea was already filled with There were no U.S.
Navy ships in sight that could compete with them.
Looking around, in the turbulent cold waves of the Norwegian Sea, only large areas of oil are left, as well as many floating objects such as pieces of clothing, table and chair parts, lifebuoys and charred corpses, indicating that this area of water was just recently There was a fierce naval battle.
In addition, there were a few scattered American sailors huddled on more than thirty lifeboats, shivering while waving to them for help.
William Frederick Halsey, Jr., the "last American admiral", was killed in the second wave of Soviet naval air raids.
All his ships sank in the southeastern waters of the Norwegian Sea outside the Skagerrak.
One survived.
Because the Skagerrak battlefield is located at a high latitude and it is a cold winter season, the water with floating ice is close to zero.
The drowned sailors can only survive for a short time before they freeze to death.
The number of lifeboats that the US military had time to put down was seriously insufficient.
Therefore, among the fleet officers and soldiers led by Admiral Halsey, only 955 sailors were rescued by the Soviet navy.
However, more than 200 sailors were rescued within a year.
One after another, they died of frostbite, burns, bacterial infections, and radiation sickness that they had suffered in Guantánamo.
At this point, the tragic Battle of the Skagerrak came to an end.
