Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 3010 Mice and Elephants

Looking down from the air, you will find that the picture in front of you is quite joyful.

Compared with American battleships, China's torpedo boats, missile boats and submarines are the standard version of "mouse and elephant".Elephants have a huge advantage in size and have long trunks that seem to crush mice to pieces with a single swipe.However, the real situation is that even though the elephant's trunk sweeps wildly, it can't help the mouse.On the contrary, under the attack of the mouse "spitting foam", the elephant lost a piece of meat on the east side and made a hole on the west side, which made the elephant look very embarrassed.

The phrase "rats and elephants" comes from Stemin, and in related discourses, he wrote: "Commander King is sure to win Guam, and this confidence is worthy of recognition, but he seems to have forgotten The battle of Jiwan just now and the attack on the aircraft carrier formation. You can imagine that less than [-] Chinese small boats confronted two American battleships, that is, mice and elephants, but the mouse was the one who won in the end. It’s unbelievable, but looking at the whole process, it seems inevitable. When Commander Jin drove all the frigates to the front and made them approach and start shooting at the Chinese artillery battery on the shore, fate was already doomed..."

Only 10 to 500 minutes after Jin Fa reported to Li Mei, the Guam naval battle took place that left everyone stunned.When a Chinese submarine suddenly poked its head out at a distance of only [-] meters from the USS Alabama, and successfully launched four torpedoes to the port side of the USS Alabama, in Stemin's words: " So far, the fate of the American battleship formation has been sealed!"

"Torpedo! Torpedo!" On the Alabama, the American sailors on the port side screamed hysterically as if they had been stung.

On the island of the ship, Jin turned his head to look when he heard the call, his face paled immediately. "Where are the sonar soldiers? Where are the sonar soldiers?" Being approached by enemy submarines at such a close distance is of course a problem for the sonar soldiers.China's torpedo technology is unique in the world, not to mention its overwhelming advantage in speed, and its ability to launch submarines makes defense very difficult.Therefore, let alone being approached by the opponent to a distance of nearly 500 meters, and the main engine of the Alabama has not reached the rated speed, even if the distance is farther, the main engine of the Alabama is running at full speed. Even if a salvo of torpedoes were fired, the possibility of avoiding all of them or even avoiding the vital points is very low.

The atmosphere on the Alabama immediately became tense. Amid the yelling of the officers, all the American sailors who were still unemployed rushed to their posts one after another.The sound of machine guns and rapid-fire guns sounded like popping beans.Later, even the anti-aircraft guns and several secondary guns at the stern joined the firing.However, the four torpedoes seemed to have been psychic, and they escaped the crazy sniping of American artillery shells and bullets, and resolutely slammed into the port side of the Alabama.

"Depth charge! Depth charge!" On another battleship, Arkansas, the captain, Colonel Brad, shouted loudly.The position of the Arkansas is on the left front of the Alabama, so from Brad's perspective, it happens that the four white water lines are rapidly approaching the Alabama.

If you want to say what a sea giant like a battleship is most afraid of, of course torpedoes are the first to count.Worried that he would follow in the footsteps of the Alabama, Brad suppressed the fear in his heart, and ordered the entire ship to immediately engage in anti-submarine warfare as a bit of an afterthought.

At a distance of 500 meters, for a 59-45 torpedo with a top speed of 1 knots, it only takes about 50 seconds to reach the target. 50 seconds is not enough time for the Alabama to raise the main engine to the rated speed.Naturally, unless it can be shot down with guns halfway, otherwise, the Alabama will definitely not escape bad luck.

The battleship Akser was flying around, and the Alabama, with the sudden heavy tremor of the ship, realized that it was the enemy's torpedo hitting the ship, ranging from gold to ordinary Americans. Sailor, everyone subconsciously paused.Then, almost at the same time as a deafening explosion sounded, as if they had received orders at the same time, a large number of American soldiers screamed, turned around and ran in unison, and many of them even lay down on the deck directly.And Jin firmly grasped the railing in front of him, clenched his teeth, and endured
Amidst the violent explosion, a water wave more than [-] meters high was stirred up on the port side.Shock waves from the explosion
Several American soldiers on the port side squatted on the deck with their heads in their hands, and some even got down on the ground.

Of course, it was an afterthought, because just as the sailors on the Arkansas began to frantically throw depth charges into the sea, the other two submarines participating in the attack by the raid fleet had already appeared on the starboard side of the Alabama.

It has to be said that for the application of submarines, Huang Tianxun has truly achieved the ultimate, successfully turning the submarines under his command into assassins in the sea, and all his shots are aimed at extremely valuable targets.

All three submarines sneaked into the vicinity of the USS Alabama. For Huang Tianxun, this was a success beyond expectations, and it was a perfect start. Then, because the submarine that appeared first fired four torpedoes He was immediately hit by the intensive artillery fire of the US ship, but there was no joy on his face.

Huang Tianxun had actually predicted before the battle that even if the raid fleet could succeed in sneak attack, he would definitely pay a heavy price.

Day is different from night, and battleships are different from aircraft carriers.

During the day, when the line of sight is good, ships like submarines and torpedo boats that need to approach the target to launch an attack, even if they can sneak into the range without anyone noticing, it is basically impossible to retreat completely if they want to complete the attack. possible.After all, compared with the speed of submarines and torpedo boats, naval guns can adjust the firing angle faster, but there are no other guns on battleships, but there are almost as many naval guns.

Originally, after possessing submarine-launched torpedoes, submarines would have the opportunity to launch torpedoes underwater and then dive away.However, because he was concerned about the opponent's sonar, he was worried that he would be detected by the opponent before stealing the range and then he would be attacked by depth charges, and he was worried that the insufficient range would give the enemy ships a chance to evade. The three attacking submarines must approach a certain distance before they are allowed to attack.As for torpedo speedboats and missile speedboats, the former is actually used to attract the attention of enemy ships to create fighters for submarines, while the latter is limited to the ship's buildings because of the destructiveness of missiles, so Huang Tianxun did not dare to place high hopes on it.

"Abandon the boat immediately, brothers, you have completed the mission brilliantly!" Huang Tianxun shouted loudly in the mic.

The first boat did an excellent job. Although they only fired four torpedoes, all four torpedoes hit their targets, and based on visual observations, they caused considerable damage to the USS Alabama. .
