The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Oops!The above actually made a mistake about the charge of the high-explosive bomb of the battleship, not 249 kg, but 68 kg... It seems that the error is a bit big!Forgive me, I'm dizzy!

"35 knots! 38 knots... 42 knots! Damn, what the hell is this fucking thing! It's so cruel that this speed... is still going up?!"

Wang Wenda stared straight at the speed of the Japanese torpedo that kept jumping upwards, and his cheeks twitched all the time, this shit is unscientific, it is simply too scary!He always thought that his high-speed torpedo belonged to Scorpion Baba---the only one. He never thought that the little devil who had been ignored all this time would come up with this stuff without humming!I just don’t know if you have custom-guided technology. If it’s magnetic island and sound-guided like those guys in my house, it’s just about speed. With this voyage, the years when battleships are rampant are numbered!

However, fortunately, the entire fleet has been prepared for this. They have practiced many times with their own torpedoes. It seems that the speed of the new torpedo is as high as 65 knots. It also has audio guidance and magnetic guidance. All kinds of coping methods are relatively complete, such as low-angle volley firing of the battleship's secondary guns, forming a deep-water explosion to block the line of defense, which is the most direct one!

More than 20 "Jiuzansu torpedoes" approached at a maximum speed of 105 knots, and finally collided with the multi-layered blocking defense line formed by successive salvos of naval guns. The sharp cap on the top of the torpedo was lifted off by the violent bombardment of the bomb, the fuze was triggered, or the torpedo body was hit directly, and a shocking explosion suddenly rose from the sea!

"Boom! Hum!" The explosion of 490 kilograms of explosives was several times larger than that of battleship shells. \\.\\The huge water column flew nearly 200 meters into the sky like a skyscraper, and the horizontal shock wave even formed circular ripples visible to the naked eye. High-heat steam, pushing the air and sending out a rumbling wave!

On the not so calm sea, a wave was rippling violently, which violently deflected several torpedoes in the rear.It even spread to some of the same kind nearby who were not hit by the shells, followed by several equally terrifying explosions in succession!

Eight kilometers away, there was a huge roar and a mushroom cloud of flames that flew into the air in an instant.The tens of thousands of soldiers under Wang Wenda were frightened at that time!

This power is too cruel!In comparison, battleship shells are nothing at all.Even his own torpedoes with a charge of only 240 kilograms are dwarfed by comparison. Ri himself, what terrible things did he make!

Wang Wenda and the others don't know that the Japanese torpedoes are filled with pure oxygen!The best oxidizer is like adding fuel to the fire when it encounters an explosion. The explosion of the pure oxygen mixture alone is enough to watch, not to mention the nearly half-ton explosive!

The efficiency of the naval gun blocking net is extremely impressive. After a burst of violent explosions, the detection system returned to normal and found that less than one-third of them successfully passed through.And almost all of them were shifted by the explosion, even two of them almost went sideways, flew out in a slanting stab, and disappeared into the vast sea.

But the rest, still dare not take it lightly!

After seeing the great power of that thing.Wang Wenda thought clearly when he moved his heel, and must not let it get close, otherwise, even if it hits the lightning protection steel net, the consequences of exploding at close range will be unimaginable!

The waterline protective armor of the "Taishan-class battleship" is composed of high-strength alloy and composite armor.The light alloy layer is as high as 350mm, and the first compartment inside has a layer of 150mm thick basalt fiber board. In theory, not only can its own 406mm main gun not penetrate, even a mine or torpedo with a charge of 350 kg will not cause too much damage. damage, but it cannot be said that they will be unscathed when encountering a torpedo attack, especially at this critical moment, when every second counts!

On the second floor, the proximity defense system is activated!The 30mm 6-barrel close-in anti-aircraft guns on battleships and heavy cruisers immediately locked on to the target at a distance. Just when the torpedo penetrated to a distance of 4000 meters, the gun barrel began to rotate rapidly, and a series of heavy armor-piercing shells almost connected into an uninterrupted steel whip , fiercely "pumped" on the water surface, and accurately analyzed the torpedoes hidden four or five meters below the water surface from beginning to end!

"Boom! Boom!"

There was another thunderous explosion, four of the seven torpedoes were detonated, and the rest were pierced by the sharp armor-piercing heads of the tungsten carbide cores in the shells, and they were completely disintegrated. The Japanese army's first wave of torpedo attacks declared complete bankruptcy !

Looking at the torpedo that was finally intercepted and hit at almost 2 kilometers away, Wang Wenda patted his chest in fear and exaggeratedly shouted: "My mother! I will never let this thing toss in the future, I can't stand it! No, we must equip a high-speed cruiser Escort, let the battleship block the torpedo by itself, what a fucking idiot!"

If there is a light cruiser, whether it is barrage blocking, or using more dense and efficient large-caliber rockets to launch deep submersible bomb detonation, the efficiency will be much higher than that of the battleship itself, and more importantly, it is safe!Light cruisers can at least form an effective interception at a distance of more than ten kilometers. How can it be like today? They are abruptly bullied into the dangerous range of more than ten kilometers away from the capital ship. The little devil's light ship and small guns can all get it Now, even if it doesn't cause much damage, the shells will be annoying, won't they?

The secondary guns of the four battleships were raised rapidly, aiming at the Japanese ship, which was still cruising at a distance of fourteen to five kilometers with its high speed and slender and dexterous figure, and was about to continue releasing torpedoes. Like a salvo, a destroyer was hit by [-] consecutive shells, the bridge and most of the deck buildings were swept away, and two bathtub-sized holes were opened in the midship of the side, and the sea water was gurgling. The influx continued, and it was about to die.

Another light cruiser was also honored. Three rounds of 127mm armor-piercing shells blasted into the bow and stern of the ship. One shot destroyed a single 140mm main gun. On the other hand, half of the mainmast was blown off, and it looked precarious!

The bad consequences of Ri himself being stingy and thrifty reappeared!Except for the battleships, they just refused to spend more on other ships, and they only pursued the pursuit of running fast and hitting far. As a result, most of the tonnage was occupied by turrets and power systems. What's worse, many boiler positions were too large. The bridges are taller than the last, the chassis is seriously unstable, and the hulls are extremely weak. Once hit by naval guns, almost no one will run away!

Just as the second round of naval artillery strikes ended, the destroyers at both ends followed with retaliatory torpedoes!

A light cruiser that is not as exaggerated as the Japanese army requires eight seats and four barrels with a total of 32 rounds. It is too small to let go, but there are also four seats and three companies with a total of 3 rounds per ship. Eight ships start together, and one wave 12 rounds were released each time, with a distance of more than ten kilometers from each other, crossing and obliquely facing the Japanese army's advancing ships, and one guy went out for thirty or so!

The structure and principle are almost the same as those of the Japanese army, but using safer hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant, adding kerosene to form high-efficiency power, and also using steam to drive the work.

The difference is that these fishes do not use the piston engine to turn the axial propeller to do work like the Japanese army, but directly blow the high-temperature and high-pressure seawater steam into the Tesla turbine, which drives the seven-blade propeller on the bearing more efficiently For propulsion, the steam left over from the work is blown out from the three nozzles, which not only accelerates the work, but also serves as an auxiliary power for direction change coordination.

In this way, although the diameter of the torpedo is 77 mm smaller than that of the Japanese army, it is nearly two meters shorter, it is nearly a ton lighter, and the charge is only half of that of the Japanese army, but its speed is as high as 65 knots!And this thing is steerable!

Large torpedoes looked like bloodthirsty great white sharks. After rushing into the water, they quickly launched, accelerated to 60 knots after a few kilometers, and swarmed straight towards the Japanese ships that were desperately dodging shells!

The slender torpedo with magnetic guidance turned on seemed completely uninterested in the completely degaussed ships in the vicinity, and focused on charging forward. In six to seven minutes, it rushed under the eyes of the scattered Japanese ships!

There is also no need for the larger splashes and flight paths of the Japanese "Jiu San Su Su torpedo". At that time, they even found out!

"Torpedo! Enemy ship torpedo attack! Hurry up and dodge!"

The loud shout spread everywhere in an instant through the copper pipes and loudspeakers. Whether it was the destroyer bearing the brunt or the light cruiser in the middle that was busy dealing with the bombardment, they immediately adjusted their course in a hurry, using the speed of up to 35 knots to risk their lives. Dao, trying to use this to get rid of the opponent's torpedo!

At this time, the distance to the nearest torpedo was only two kilometers away, and at a speed of 60 knots, it was only a minute or so away! How far can a warship run in 1 minute?one kilometer!

However, a battleship about [-] meters long can run a full kilometer, and the direct torpedo can only fail obediently? !

Don't even think about it, they must have been directly targeted, and several ships rushed madly without hesitation, no matter what direction they were heading, in short, leave the waters where they are located first!Running with all his strength, he was out of danger in a dozen seconds!

Every second, the battleships are running wildly, and the torpedoes are advancing at twice the speed. After more than ten seconds, the lookout posts on each ship can clearly see that the torpedoes that are looming under the water but running at high speed are about to Over its own tail or sideways.

"It's safe!" I calculated in my heart instantly that the deviation must be at least 200 meters. The Japanese soldiers on several battleships couldn't help but patted their chests and thanked each other, but just after they breathed a sigh of relief, they suddenly heard someone screaming, " Look! Those torpedoes are turning!" (To be continued)
