If there is such a destroyer, it can retreat completely under the bombardment of more than 15,000 aerial bombs, can survive the attack of hundreds of torpedoes, can kill all teammates and can also pick up the crew of teammates... Some smart good brothers have already guessed that this epic-class battleship is the old Imperial Japanese Navy destroyer Yukikaze.
The Yukikaze is the No. 8 ship of the Japanese Yoyan-class destroyer, which began construction in 1938 and was officially delivered to the Japanese Navy in 1940. In the Japanese Navy, which pursues the doctrine of large ships and huge guns, the Yukikaze, as a small ship with a displacement of only 2,500 tons, belongs to the most insignificant one, so as soon as it entered service, it was assigned to the "Second Mine Warfare Team" and "16th Destroyer Detachment" that my grandfather did not love my grandmother.
As the saying goes, gold shines wherever it goes, and the Snowwind Ship profoundly interprets this unbreakable saying.
In December 1941, the Snowwind sailed to the Philippines to participate in its first battle, the landing at Rameau Bay. On the 24th, the Snowwind was ordered to support the landing, and as a result, an American P40 fighter in the sky spotted him, and a shuttle bullet flew over, hitting the fuel tank of the Snowwind ship - it leaked, but it did not catch fire.
And considering the use of heavy oil boilers, it makes sense not to fire down, but everyone does not know that this is only the beginning of the legendary life of the snowwind ship.
The fuel tank was broken, and the school wind was taken to Mindanao for repair, and during the repair, the US military once again attacked the repair site, and the good brother heavy cruiser Myoko together with the Snow Wind was blown up by the US bomb, but Xuefeng did not even rub a little oil skin.
In this way, Myoko became the first teammate to sacrifice, and Yukimine's glorious life began.
From Midway Island to Leyte Gulf, World War II was fought all over the scene, what are the glorious achievements of the hidden anti-Japanese god ship Yukikaze?
In June 1942, the rejuvenated Snowwind participated in the Battle of Midway with great interest and was assigned to the periphery to conduct air defense and miscellaneous activities. At that time, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese fleet was the famous Nagumo Tadaichi, and soon, under the command of this famous general, all four aircraft carriers of the main force of the Japanese fleet were sunk, and Xuefeng carried out a general retreat in an intact posture.
In October, the brand new Yukikaze once again participated in the Battle of the South Pacific, this time with a heavy job - as a frigate for Nagumo Tadaichi's flagship Shozuru. In this battle, more than 65% of the aviation of the Japanese fleet was killed, and the Shozuru, which was guarded by Xuefeng, was blown up, and then Xuefeng was arranged to guard the Zuizuru, as a result, the Zuihe's aviation died - Xuefeng was again intact.
In November, the new Yukikaze participated in the Battle of the Solomon Islands, this time guarding the battleship Hiei, which belonged to the essence of the imperial army. As a result, Hiei was beaten by the US military until it disintegrated on the spot, and Xuefeng was intact.
In March 1943, Xuefeng was sent to escort a transport ship disguised as a merchant ship, carrying the main force of the 51st Division of the Army Red Deer, but in time for the Battle of the Bismarck Sea, all 8 merchant ships escorted sank, and more than 3,000 people of the main force of the 51st Division were drowned, fortunately, Xuefeng was intact and rescued the headquarters of the 51st Division, otherwise the division number would have to be revoked.
In July, Yukikaze entered the war again, this time because of the shallow waterline, a torpedo that should have hit Xuefeng directly grazed the edges, sinking the Shentong ship behind, and Xuefeng was unscathed.
In the Battle of Mariana in 1944, the snowwind thrusters were broken before the war, did not have a front line, and were sent to escort the cruise ship, as a result, the cruise ship was dried up by the US military, and the snow wind was unscathed.
In October, the Battle of Leyte Gulf broke out, and the Yukikaze took action this time, and won its biggest victory - "Atago", "Maya", "Mogami", "Suzuya", "Torikai", and "Tsukuma"; battleships "Musashi", "Yamashiro", "Fuso"; The aircraft carriers "Zuizuru", "Chitose", "Zuiho", "Chiyoda", as well as his own good brother Nofen, Yukikaze intact.
In November, the battleship King Kong was returned home through the Taiwan Strait, King Kong was sunk, and the snow wind remained intact.
Eight days after Kongo was sunk, Yukikaze received a mysterious mission to escort the world's largest aircraft carrier Shinano for sea trials in the Seto Inland Sea. It stands to reason that the Seto Inland Sea is the Inland Sea of Japan, so something shouldn't have happened... As a result, the passing US submarine Shotfish found Shinano - Shinano was sunk after 20 hours at sea, and the snow wind remained intact.
In April 1945, Yukikaze participated in Operation Kikusui and killed almost all of the large surface ships of the Japanese Navy's last main force, the Yamato and below—this time Yukikaze was wounded and killed three sailors. After returning to Hong Kong, Xuefeng found a dud in the granary, a dud that can blow up Snow Wind...
After the battle of Kikusui, Yukikaze was hit by another dud, but it dodged more than 15,000 air strikes and killed his teammate Chufrost again. When Yukikaze entered service in 1941, the Japanese Navy had 82 destroyers, and by the time it surrendered in 1945, only one Yukikaze remained. The famous anti-Japanese ship is well deserved.
Three points are destined, seven points rely on hard work, what hard power is behind the good luck of the Xiangrui battleship Xuefeng?
Genius is 99% inspiration + 1% sweat, and snow wind is 99% luck + 1% strength.
Earlier we mentioned 99 luck, now let's take a look at the 1% strength.
The first is the commander, who has experienced five commanders before and after Yukikaze, almost all of whom are elite naval commanders, especially the two captains who served between 1941 and 1943. These two captains were both left in the early days of the Japanese Navy, and belonged to the technical stream of the young and strong school, especially good at handling ships and managing damage. It is said that at that time, the snow wind entering the port and stopping the ship was always the fastest, which was equivalent to the side parking always in place, always fast and accurate.
As for the pipe damage, because the Snow Wind has not been injured for a long time, the captain attaches great importance to it, coupled with the high morale and technical skills of the crew, it has long won the top three in the naval management damage competition.
Some friends may not understand what it means to have a strong pipe damage, which means that your ship has been blown up by a torpedo, and you can repair it in the shortest time, and the survival rate will naturally be greatly improved.
As for the last captain of Xuefeng, it was the strongest of the kings, this captain had a kind of fanatical paranoia about endurance - he demanded that except for the most urgent combat missions, the speed should only be pressed below 22 knots, which directly led to the fact that Xuefeng never interrupted fuel in naval battles. This is also the reason why the Leyte Gulf Battle and the snow wind were spared.
In addition, Yukikaze is also an experimental platform for the latest weapons of the Japanese Navy, and it is also the first warship in Japan to be equipped with radar. During the Philippine campaign, it was Yukikaze who first discovered the US military with carrier-based radar.
After the war, Xuefeng was assigned to the Kuomintang Navy as part of the war reparations, renamed the Danyang Ship, and followed the Kuomintang to Taiwan. In 1971, the Danyang ship was dismantled, and in the same year, a bald head on the island made a will and passed on the throne to Comrade Nikolai, and his political career came to an end.
At present, some parts of Xuefeng are still preserved in some museums in Taiwan and Japan, can these parts still play their auspicious role? We'll see.
