Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

The Japanese army is intensively preparing to defend against the missiles of Lin Yuan’s troops. Lin Yuan is also studying the response characteristics of the jamming wire to the electromagnetic waves of the radar seeker. Two days later, on February 21, the program of the missile seeker was successfully rewritten. , Lin Yuan asked Ma Zhiliang's engineers to carry equipment to the warships of the fleet to refit the missiles. In the early morning of February 22, half of the missiles on the ship had been refitted. The Japanese army, who knew nothing about this matter, also asked Lin Yuan The sea area where the troops are located is approaching.

The Japanese battle this time was carried out in accordance with the plan agreed upon by Togo Heihachiro and Akiyama Shinyuki. While four battleships and four battlecruisers were advancing, three Fubuki-class destroyers that survived before also set off for Chidori Island. Going forward, the endurance of the Fubuki-class destroyer is relatively poor. The endurance mileage at a speed of 18 knots is only less than [-] nautical miles. This is still under improved conditions. The cruising range is only about [-] nautical miles.

This is because the oil tank of the Fubuki-class destroyer is designed to be relatively small. In order to overcome this weakness, the Japanese army further reduced the weight of the hull. Since the purpose of this operation is to transport marines to the island, there is no need to use torpedoes, so the Japanese army launched the torpedoes. The tubes were all dismantled, including the torpedo launch director and other things, and all the officers and soldiers of the torpedo launch team remained on the shore.

At 22 a.m. on February [-], Togo Heihachiro took four Kongo-class battlecruisers, two Ise-class battleships, and two Fuso-class battleships into the waters near Chongjin, with Kongo in front and other ships behind.

Dongxiang Heihachiro stood in the command room, looked at the sea through the porthole, and thought in his heart: "The sky is relatively gloomy today, and it is not easy to detect incoming missiles with the naked eye. I hope that the new American radar warning device will work. If they If the radar warning device does not work, our eight warships may become a delicacy for Lin Yuan's troops in an instant."

At this time, Togo Heihachiro turned his head and said to Anderson: "Mr. Anderson, can your alarms distinguish whether the electromagnetic waves are emitted by radar or missiles?"

Anderson nodded, and said: "Yes, because the missile is always moving at a high speed, the frequency of the electromagnetic waves emitted will change rapidly. When we find electromagnetic waves with rapidly changing frequencies, we know that a missile is coming."

Dongxiang Heihachiro nodded lightly. At this moment, the radar on Lin Yuan's warship spotted a Japanese warship, and the radar chief reported to Yu Feng: "Report to Commander, we have discovered a Japanese fleet! There are eight warships, 45 kilometers away. , the target heading is 25 degrees east of north, and the speed is [-] knots."

Yu Feng asked, "Have you figured out what warship it is?"

The radar chief reported: "We are still accumulating data as a basis for interpretation, and we can know the model of the warship in one minute."

Yu Feng said: "Well, notify me as soon as you determine the type of the enemy's warship." One minute later, the radar chief reported to Yu Feng: "Report to the commander, we have determined the type of the Japanese warship, which are Ise-class battleships. , Fuso-class battleships and Kongo-class battlecruisers."

After listening to the report, Yu Feng said excitedly: "Okay, that's great, the Japanese army couldn't bear the pressure of public opinion, and took the initiative to attack, looking for our fleet to seek a battle with capital ships! Order the missile department to prepare for launch."

The order was immediately conveyed to the missile department, and the missile department immediately began to prepare. After 3 minutes, the head of the missile department reported to Yu Feng: "The missile has been prepared, and the target data can be imported at any time."

Yu Feng said: "Okay!" Then he ordered: "Radar room, send the movement data of the Japanese flagship to the missile department."

Soon the radar room sent back a message: "The data transmission is complete."

Yu Feng said: "Attention the missile department, launch a missile at the target warship!"

The officer of the missile department hurriedly asked: "Commander, is there only one missile to launch?"

Yu Feng said: "First launch a missile and see if our improvement can work."

The missile department immediately replied: "Understood!" Soon the sound of "Missiles are ready to launch, ten seconds to prepare" sounded on the ship. After the ten seconds countdown, the missile roared out and flew towards the Japanese flagship Ise in the fleet. go.

On the Ise ship, Anderson stared intently at the indicator light of the radar warning device, feeling extremely conflicted. On the one hand, he hoped that it would light up sooner, to prove that their equipment was effective; No missiles came.

Anderson was having conflicts when suddenly the indicator light of the radar warning device flickered like crazy, and at the same time, the buzzer kept beeping. Anderson hurriedly said to the operator: "Is the missile coming?" gone?"

The operator said: "Yes, the frequency changes rapidly. There must be a high-speed target approaching us. It must be a missile from Lin Yuan's army!"

Anderson hurriedly said to Togo Heihachiro: "Togo-kun, please look, we found a missile."

Dongxiang Heihachiro said hurriedly: "Can you know how far the missile is from us?"

Anderson shook his head lightly, and said: "The radar warning device cannot tell us how far the missile is from us, but the radar warning device can sense the strength of the received radar signal. The closer the distance, the stronger the sound of the buzzer."

Dongxiang Heihachiro nodded, and said: "Start the jamming wire launcher immediately!" The launcher on the side of the warship was activated immediately, throwing a large group of jamming wires into the sky, and Dongxiang Heihachiro thought in his heart: "Now is the time to retreat. Already!" So Togo Heihachiro ordered: "All ships prepare, turn around, and retreat at full speed!"

Before departure, Togo Heihachiro had notified the purpose of the warship to the captains of the warships. They all understood Togo Heihachiro's combat intentions, so after the retreat order was issued, the Japanese warships began to turn and retreat.

As soon as the Japanese warships turned around, the warships of Lin Yuan's troops found them through radar, and Yu Feng decisively ordered: "The Japanese troops must not escape, chase after them!" Lin Yuan's fleet also changed course and sailed in the direction where the Japanese troops were retreating.

While the fleets of both sides were turning around, the missiles were still flying towards the Ise ship. Hearing the sound of the buzzer getting stronger and stronger, Dongxiang Heihachiro couldn't help but feel a burst of panic in his heart, thinking: "We have improved the radar warning device. , Will Lin Yuan’s troops also improve their weapons? What if our jamming wires can’t interfere with the missiles of Lin Yuan’s fleet?”

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the missile was getting closer and closer. Togo Heihachiro ordered: "Put some interference wires every once in a while! Don't let the missile take advantage of it!"
