Chapter 757: One Riding as a Thousand Battleship Edition (1)
Attacking the Japanese army is a very small number of peace-loving scientists such as Tesla that will not stop them. In fact, because the Japanese have done too many things that are angry and resentful in the past few years, it has seriously touched their moral bottom line. Xu Zhubin will oppose the massacre of civilians, but there is absolutely nothing to do with the soldiers.
But Tesla is still rigorous enough and just asked: "Can you confirm?"
He did not intentionally interfere in command and combat. After all, in front of him and during the trial voyage of the warship, be careful that there will always be no big mistakes. In addition, this area is more American submarines, and there are also Chinese and British. It is less important to say that the maritime forces of the four countries are mixed and wandering around. If they are injured by accident, it will be troublesome.
The radar officer confirmed again that the detection echo signal characteristics were correct, and Tesla nodded without saying a word, completely put on one side and let them operate.
This respectful attitude satisfies the officers and soldiers on the ship. After countless running-in exercises, the team moved extremely fast. With the skillful order of the gunman, the gunner used the operating rod to operate the naval gun in real time and rotated the left 70 degrees. The thick electromagnetic reconnection acceleration ring placed on the top of the slender gun barrel instantly connected to the power. The target was locked according to the data obtained by the air collider and radar detection. The two 127mm guns "all of them" alternately fired two shells!
The dual-equipped 127mm naval gun barrel length developed specifically for the new generation of warships reaches 60l, and the range is increased from the original 15 kilometers to 24 kilometers. After using the bottom-row extended range bomb and assisted with electromagnetic acceleration, it can easily reach a terrifying range of 70 kilometers!
The key is that when the range is constantly increasing, the accuracy is greatly improved compared to the previous models. Even under relatively mild sea conditions, the accuracy of 15 kilometers can reach no more than 20 meters. If the latest guided warhead is used, the shore-based fortress can even be accurately destroyed!
The high firing rate of 70 rounds per minute is comparable to that of the Army's 105mm howitzer. Four rounds were fired in six seconds. The alternately shining flames exposed the slender and strange ship one after another in the night. The shells were accelerated by the electromagnetic reconnection ring to Mach 6 per second, and the sudden breaking of the air caused by the detonation of the breaking of the air and spread far along the water surface!
The range of more than fifty kilometers is almost guaranteed, but the naval guns that use probability shooting mode are not aimed at rifles. Although the four shells have intervals, the landing point and ballistic trajectory are calculated very accurately. From the cross-section, you can find that the four are connected together, which is a uniform parallelogram!
The range and speed of the shells fired at six times the speed of sound are amazing! The place where the warships need to run for an hour to reach. It only takes dozens of seconds to get there! The end speed is even more than Mach 2. On the Japanese submarine, who was confused and unaware of it, the captain who was staring at the exit of the bridge and staring at the captain, who didn't even see anything clearly. A black light flashed in front of his eyes, and four consecutive explosions of fire suddenly exploded around. The core was his 100-meter-long submarine!
The shell charge of the main gun of the nuclear-powered cruiser, the main gun of the ocean-going fleet, is not an ordinary mix, but a crystalline alkyl mix with amazing explosion. The power is at least ten times higher than the conventional TNT! The 127mm caliber grenade seems not high to fit, but the power of the explosion is no less than the 18.8 kilogram charge of the 406mm armor-piercing bomb. Four drop points surrounded the submarine. In the flash, four fierce water waves squeezed desperately into the middle. The hull that could barely withstand the pressure of 60 meters underwater burst and deformed. The captain did not react to anything, and his head was cut off by a piece of fragment. Then the crushed hull squeaked and groaned. As the sudden rise of waves, it swayed a few times, and fell into the deep sea like stones!
"I hit it!" There was joy in the command center of the cruiser "Yingzhou". The radar scans in the air and the ship confirm again, the target disappears, and the strikes are extremely long-distance, and one strike is a success!
Zhu Bin nodded reservedly and praised: "Good job! Order Seahawk 1 to expand the search range immediately. It is impossible for this enemy ship to be the only one nearby!"
"I understand!" The communication chief immediately conveyed the order.
Zhu Bin has reason to judge this. The situation around China is unprecedentedly severe. Not only has it launched a comprehensive battle with Japan, but after a recent quarrel with the great powers, they have temporarily residing in the face of disputes, but how could the foreigners who suffered a great loss swallow their anger? Now, if his cargo ship does not have the escort of the destroyer, they dare not wander around everywhere. There have been dozens of attacks, and the frequency is increasing day by day!
According to comprehensive intelligence judgment, the people who attacked him also included Americans and British submarines, but because the global defense base that Zhu Bin took over was evenly distributed in the main aviation first, in the Pacific region, they were strictly guarding the road in the form of relay races, and the losses were not large. In comparison, the British who firmly believed that the freighter should go on the road alone had a bit of a loss, and that was that they were sunk when they met their opponents!
However, Britain, the United States and other countries did not openly start a war. Before they completely broke up, no one could use surface ships to start fighting in public. The submarine attacked successfully and failed. They each suffered a loss. Moreover, no one seemed to have thought of exposing it. It was a strange confrontation!
One of the three carrier-based helicopters with night sailing capabilities, "Sea Eagle One", has been patrolling and searching 50 kilometers of radius outside the cruiser. After receiving the order, it immediately adjusted the radar mode and conducted a detailed search around the sunken submarine. In a minute, a new discovery was found. However, the traces of the surface ship were found about 80 kilometers away!
"Report! A second-class Japanese destroyer was discovered! It was heading towards our ship at a speed of about 15 knots, and no abnormalities were found yet!"
The signal characteristics of the Japanese destroyer were clearly reflected on the helicopter radar screen, and it was confirmed that it would be impossible to make a mistake. Zhu Bin was surprised and moved his heart and ordered: "Continue to search forward! I suspect that there are a large group of Japanese ships nearby, so be sure to find them!"
The Japanese surface ships rarely wandered outside! Since their heavy losses in the East China Sea War, in order to prevent them from being attacked and eliminated and completely destroyed the seeds of the joint fleet, the Japanese army did not even dare to put all the main ships in their local ports, but instead drove alternately to the Southeast Pacific to carry out breaking and hiding. Unless they went back to repair, they would never dare to squat in the bay like they had been in the early years as a "existence fleet".
Everything was in a continuous bombardment, which scared them!
The area where the "Yingzhou" cruiser is located is a little more southerly. It is also near the route from Taiwan and Ryukyu to bypass the Japanese archipelago. There have always been a large number of Chinese submarines cruised in turn. The tentacles even extend to the Eastern Pacific base. The Japanese army has never won, and they dare not use a single light ship to risk the challenge of the diving depth of 300 meters, have keen sonar detection methods, and have air patrol aircraft to respond to the opponent!
Now, it’s abnormal. Is it because it’s exciting? It’s not like it!
Zhu Bin immediately became interested. Originally, he led the team to conduct the first ten-mile trial voyage, but he didn't plan to go there just plainly. He made up his mind to conduct various practical exercises along the way. But no one was willing to cooperate actively. Now that a good target has emerged, how can there be any politeness? If you really want to come out in groups of fleets, you can just test the ability of stealth battleships!
"Switch the rudder left and speed up to meet him. I want to see what new tricks the Japanese are playing!"
What happened just now at the Eastern Pacific base made him realize the intention behind the joint efforts of Japan and the United States, and judged that the Americans were unwilling to come out and find fault. It doesn’t matter. Now he is full of wings. Unless the Japanese Joint Fleet and the US Navy joined forces to raid together in their heyday, the number of advanced ships has also risen, and I am not afraid of them doing anything!
Now that there are small fish and shrimps popping out, you have to be welcome!
The maneuverability of the "Yingzhou" is better than the original heavy cruiser and amphibious assault ship. The redesigned hull takes into account multiple elements such as armor, space, and its own weight. It ensures its survival ability in the dangerous weather and sea conditions of the Pacific Ocean. Even if it encounters the shear crest that once broke the Japanese warship, there will be no problem. The degree of solidity is beyond imagination!
Following Zhu Bin's order, he turned left suddenly, and the bow of the knife cut the waves and squeezed out a fierce wave, enough to overturn the nearby small ship. The slender hull with a 20,000 tons slanted slightly and completed the steering smoothly. Even the people on the ship did not deliberately support something to stabilize their posture.
"Sea Eagle One" accelerated forward more than ten kilometers, and passed back the specific coordinates of the Japanese second-class destroyer in succession, but no traces of it entering the alert state were found, indicating that they did not see or pay attention to the explosion flash of the submarine being sunk.
However, Zhu Bin would not take it lightly. If it were his fleet traveling, the pioneers would have given regular returns. If there was no movement for a while, it would mean that something was wrong! Therefore, it would be a matter of time before the Japanese army found something wrong!
After the small radius of the cruiser "Yingzhou" turned, his speed suddenly increased to 32 knots, and he drove head-on towards the Japanese ship. Ten minutes later, the distance between each other entered the maximum range of the main gun. Zhu Bin ordered without hesitation: "Aim at the enemy ship, open fire! Sink him!"
Let’s fight now?! Destroyers are not submarines. One or two shells can’t handle them. The damage of near-missile bombs is also small. A nitrogen fire must have been discovered. What should I do if I startle the snake?
Zhu Bin laughed and said, "I just want them to discover! You think they have been getting shot, but they can't find out where the shells were shot and who the enemy is. How cool is this feeling! In addition, we must fully verify the performance of the warship and see if it can complete the effectiveness of various combats!"
Everyone understands that this boss is just idle! But his statement is correct. This ship is used to complete the single-ship escort mission and has the ability to deal with fleet operations. If it cannot play a single-table function, why do you have to do so many expensive designs!
You should know that according to industrial costs, the cost of this cruiser is more than that of a "Taishan-class" battleship! Whether it is the space ultra-high-strength alloy steel plate hull, plasma metallurgy high-purity gun barrel, metal cooling reactor, stealth design, or full-winding missile system, it can make the whole world look at it! Just the countless integrated circuits and fiber optic networks inside, I don't know what price codes can be evaluated! If the great powers know that this thing exists, they will be happy to buy it with real money and silver.
Without further ado, the dual-mounted MKT39 naval gun fired again, but this time, a test shot was first launched. The electromagnetic accelerator tube was fully powered, and a bottom row extended-range armor-piercing projectile roared out of the chamber. After a few dozen seconds, under the long-range scanning and observation of the helicopter, the shell suddenly hangs a sound of breaking through the air and hits less than fifty meters in front of the enemy ship, and a slender water column is blown up!
The sudden explosion shocked the Japanese ship! The captain screamed: "Where did the shells come from?! Did any guy behind get fire?!"
Obviously not. The best-visited lookout hands carefully observed the sea surface with infrared equipment imported from Germany in different directions, but could not find any abnormality!
When the information was fed back to the fleet, Nagashi Yunzhong realized something was wrong when he heard it. He immediately ordered: "Contact the alert submarine immediately and search for suspicious targets!"
The open-circuit destroyer is only twenty kilometers away from the Yamato. If it is sneaked to the vicinity by an enemy ship, it is very likely that the ship will be directly bombarded or torpedo attacked!
When he thought of the perverted torpedo of the Chinese Navy and the terrifying night long-range shelling accuracy, he felt sweaty on his forehead! He carefully tried the sails. If there was a problem with the attack, he would become a historical sinner!
As expected, a submarine lost contact! It was all moving in the floating surface. There was definitely no situation where the telegram could not be received unless the area where it was located was electromagnetically shielded!
At this moment, the shells that had been calibrated after the second calibration hit again! Two consecutive 127mm grenades exploded near the second-class destroyer, one of which formed a near loss of less than 10 meters. The water pressure caused by the detonation almost squeezed the small warship of about 1,000 tons, and almost flipped over the spot. The weak side-spinning riveted steel plate squeezed a huge crack. The three soldiers squatting on the deck were overturned and fell into the water!
This time, the explosion flash was captured by the Yamato warship! Combined with the location of the submarine that had lost contact, Tadaichi Nagamo quickly calculated the distance of the suspicious ship!
"The enemy ship fired 5-inch shells, and the range should be about 15 kilometers! The accuracy is extremely high, and it is very likely to be in the direction of the two wings at the left and right 30 degrees!"
The artillery master simply marked the possible position on the schematic diagram of the formation's marching posture. It was the angle range between the submarine and the destroyer in front, which extended to the two wings about fifteen kilometers. If it was in front, it would be impossible to hide it from the submarine reconnaissance, and the range of the naval gun could not be reached.
"Carry a strict search now and be sure to find him! The enemy ship is most likely a Chinese destroyer! They are all equipped with 5-inch main guns, and they are also cruised around here!"
Tadichi Nagamoto calmly issued an order. This time he would not make any mistakes. The intelligence to China was shared by all countries. The Japanese intelligence agencies were almost wiped out, but Britain, the United States and other countries were all good, and their people and ships could also wander along the coast of China, clearly determined. The main forces of the three major fleets were repairing at home or doing offshore defense. There would never be the possibility of slandering and being attacked last time---This is the Pacific Ocean, unless they can fly!
Putting aside those battleships with abnormal ranges, it is impossible for destroyers to come here to wander privately. That is very dangerous. The biggest possibility is that the group of destroyers that have not yet been transferred under the name of global defense. Each base has one or two, which is most suitable for such private work as an indifferent person!
There are a lot of pioneers in the "Yamato" trial voyage formation! The two wings immediately searched forward with two groups of submarines, a cruiser and two destroyers formed a triangular formation to accelerate forward, trying to catch all the guys who dared to break in!
The speed is always not that fast, and the shelling of open-circuit destroyers followed one after another! This time, it was a continuous rapid-fire mode, with more than a second of "Boom Boom Boom" in a row, and the distance between them was only about one second!
The accuracy of the third wave of shells was greatly improved, and coupled with the impact of hedging and approaching, the small Japanese destroyer that had no time to avoid could not escape and was hit by five consecutive shells!
The power of the 127mm armor-piercing projectile with a speed of more than the speed of sound can kill the armor of the cruiser, and a small boat of only a thousand tons is no problem! The first shell hitting the hull pierced the bridge and smashed a chimney. The subsequent shells penetrated the hull from the front deck, the left side and the rear of the hull. The explosion caused the bomb to explode and the boiler collapsed. The Japanese army of 50 and 60 jumped into the sea to escape successfully. The rest quickly sank into the bottom of the water along with the battleships in succession of explosions and sky-sky fires!
The speed is too fast!
Nakayama was paying attention to the whole process, and his face was so gloomy that it was about to drip! The first shell was completely sunk, and it took only five minutes in total, so the accuracy was not mentioned. The key is that the warship on this side did not have the slightest power to fight back. From beginning to end, I couldn’t find where the shells came from. This was terrible!
The search ships on both wings found no traces. Could it be that the other party's gun was fired from 30 kilometers away? Or would they be invisible? What a joke!
He vaguely had a bad premonition and decisively ordered the entire fleet to enter the combat alert state, pull out the formation, and accompany the battleships to enter the attack position!
Zhu Bin had no sense of accomplishment at all. He could not show his power by smashing such a small broken ship, but it was certain that the performance of the radar and naval guns was fully in line with the design indicators.
The abnormally moving Japanese fleet was scanned by the "Sea Eagle One" helicopter. When the radar screen showed unprecedented huge target characteristics, he was confused at first, and then reacted - the Japanese devils, this is a big guy running out!
Zhu Bin was excited and laughed: "It's so upset! It seems that my luck is indeed good. I encountered something good as soon as I came out, and it's worth the trip!"
Chapter completed!
