Chapter 763: One Riding as a Thousand Battleship Edition (7)
Only he can do the whole world with missiles and shells. All of them are technology, thoughts and abilities.
It is naturally incomparable to the technological content and manufacturing cost, but if calculated in detail, the significance is surprising!
For a long time, in the world's naval strategy, the same method of dealing with giant ships and cannons was the same giant ships and cannons. As the main force, Yusze battleships have existed for decades and have not changed. Now it is time for change, but the possibility of dominating the ocean with fighter jets as the main force and completely abolishing battleships is being discussed by all countries.
Not everyone can easily tinker with various fighter jets with no upper limit like Zhu Bin, and no one can randomly create heavy anti-ship missiles, which can really destroy battleships. Most of them are still at the level of diving attacks with aircraft carrying torpedoes and blockbuster bombs.
These two attack methods do not mean that they must be tried and done. Since the Chinese and Japanese maritime battles several times, as long as they are not fools and blind, all countries have begun to understand that the era of expecting the main ship to fight alone and win alone has passed. Except for the old empire like Germany, which is short of financial technology, which has not yet equipped several complete formations, regardless of whether Britain and the United States have internal military changes, they have long used established naval formations as normalized.
Even if Japan, which has lost most of the main battleships, would not foolishly let a single main battleship come out and wander. Is that looking for death or death!
On the other hand, countries have basically begun to try to use auxiliary ships and light aircraft carriers to cooperate, while ensuring the strong attack, while maximizing the joint air defense capabilities. Nowadays, the number of air defense weapons calibers of new warships in various countries has increased dramatically, and various regional joint air defense tactics are also being continuously studied, and even accurate wireless near-fighting fuses, Britain and Germany have also begun to study secretly. And the Americans have even taken out the finished products!
The first model is the air-to-air shell of the 127mm mk38 high-level dual-purpose gun!
Thanks to its good cooperative relationship with China, Americans have become old-fashioned in electronic products. Many of the transistor products were stripped away by them and secretly conducted imitation research. Bell Labs has long produced qualified germanium single crystal transistors for mass production to support the development of military technology.
With the rapid increase in air defense capabilities of warship formations with scientific and reasonable proportions, it is too simple to expect dozens of slow heavy-duty attack aircraft or dive bombers to kill battleships at one time! For nothing else, these days, airborne torpedoes cannot withstand too high attack speed and have a range of only a few kilometers, but it happens to have a range of various precise anti-aircraft guns above 37mm, and those torpedoes with too small caliber are too low to destroy the newly built main battleships!
Diving bombing? It is just as difficult. Without the joint command of early warning aircraft, a formation of six fighter jets is considered a master at the same time. No matter how many of them are, it is not a difficult problem to achieve orderly and flexible joint attacks, and it is almost impossible!
Dozens of such fighter jets face the joint defense of more than seven or eight warships and hundreds of anti-aircraft guns. The difficulty of breaking through is not ordinary!
In the final analysis, it was Zhu Bin's arrival that greatly catalyzed the unbalanced development of world military technology, and the navy's air defense capabilities were greatly improved, which led to the air attack power not keeping up with the situation.
It seems that the battleships cannot do it at the moment if they want to withdraw from the main naval force. Then the three or four hundred mm caliber shells are still the main attackers of the navies of various countries. How to defend against these tons of big guys is a big problem that has to be faced!
In addition to battleships with thick armor, other light ships can deliver food to battleships. However, the cost of battleships is too expensive after all. For example, the cost of a "Yamato-class" ship is 280 million yen in contemporary times. What does it mean? It is equivalent to 100 million US dollars, or 100 tons of gold!
This money can build ten destroyers or light cruisers with powerful force. Even if they are as wealthy as the United States and the United Kingdom, they cannot be as good as they want to build. Then the one-on-one competition will make people feel pain once it sinks. The construction speed is too slow. It is okay in normal times, but in war, this is a deadly trouble!
Relatively speaking, whether it is a destroyer or a light cruiser, it can be done in less than a year if it speeds up. The cost is low, the armor is thin, and the main gun is small, but it can use excellent torpedoes to launch strikes on the main ship. Even if it is killed, the personnel and cost will be small. Once the attack is successful, it will make huge profits!
Therefore, the research on making big returns by countries in small costs is naturally put on the agenda, but now they can't get missiles, and the performance of torpedoes is really painful.
In other words, Zhu Bin was able to produce so many missile weapons, but even he never thought of fighting with Britain and the United States in battleships. The overall national strength cannot be quickly improved by cheating. In the final analysis, it is necessary to have equal attack capabilities to check and balance.
Zhu Bin thought that naturally, the future development trend would allow destroyers and cruisers to face the battleships head-on!
If you attack, you can use heavy anti-ship missiles when you are far away, and if you are close, you can use high-speed torpedoes when you are close. If you are defending, you can not only run fast and run far away, but also make the opponent unable to attack. Even if you enter the artillery distance, you can withstand the bombardment of heavy artillery shells!
Big guys like the "Yingzhou" can only be stuffed into a more expensive electromagnetic shield system with the support of advanced and huge nuclear power systems, and can also use electromagnetic reconnection guns to engage in counterattacks and open the main armor of the battleship.
It is difficult for other small-tonnage warships to do it, so what should I do? Let them have the ability to seal the throat with one sword against shells!
The air defense missile system is not larger than a truck. It can be stuffed into a destroyer that is more than 100 meters long and more than ten meters wide. I dare not say that there are more, forty or fifty ones are not a problem. In a naval battle, there were not so many shells that could really hit, and it was enough.
The intelligent defense interception system can be easily loaded onto the ship without consuming huge energy supply. It can ensure that a destroyer with only 2,000 tons can face battleships with precise ballistic calculations and ballistic interception and damage to terrible heavy shells, thus ensuring its own safety!
This kind of thing is really not something that ordinary people can do. Zhu Bin knew that with the catalysis of war in this world, it is estimated that in another ten or twenty years, other countries will inevitably conduct research. Even if they cannot handle super-fast supersonic shells for the time being, there will be no problem with the slow mid-pound bomb. Aerial weapons kill the battleships. There is a long way to go!
The "Yingzhou" undoubtedly bears the above-mentioned various avant-garde novelty and important technical verification significance for contemporary people. For Zhu Bin, he has made up for all the shortcomings of the ideal Blue Ocean Fleet. He really doesn't like those thousands of tons of ships attacked by small cannons. The attack is not good, and the defense is incompetent. He doesn't even have the threat ability of hundreds of kilometers. It's too bad!
His ocean-going fleet must not be like that! It is important to ensure that every warship must have considerable main station capabilities, rather than lack of anything!
The probability of two interceptions of "Yingzhou" is really a bit outrageous. It is mainly because the radar system and the combat defense system of the intelligent unit are too abnormal! It is relegated to the technical thinking of the interstellar era, which is a hundred years higher than this era!
There is no better experimental target than the Yamato! Zhu Bin didn't want to expose his strength too much to avoid scaring away the Japanese ships or forcing him to fight with all his might. However, it would destroy his main mission of global trial voyages, so he suspended the interception of artillery shells and threw out two air-firing torpedoes without hesitation!
Conventional torpedoes are six or seven meters long and weigh more than one ton. If you want to spray them safely and with little movement and static, it is very difficult! Whether it is supported by rockets or direct injection, the danger is extremely high! If you don’t make a good deal, you can self-destruct, otherwise the launch unit will become huge and bloated and not suitable for hiding.
That is, a body like "Yingzhou". It can stuff such a big guy in, and the launch method is to use electromagnetic catapults! In a vertical large revolver vertical catapult, the structure sealed vertically in the launch cylinder is strengthened torpedo as a whole ejection, then explode the shell, unfold the parachute and enter the water, and start the attack...
There are too many technical aspects involved! And it is also a technical verification weapon. After all, on the "Yingzhou-class" missile cruiser, this thing is not a main attack weapon, it is too useless, but on other destroyers worth thousands of tons, this thing becomes a must! Of course, the guy who is just the assembly version will no longer be made into a 533mm size. A destroyer of two or three thousand tons cannot be stuffed into a launch unit with a total height of ten meters!
"Everyone" sounded two muffled sounds, and no firelight was seen. Two large cylinders soared into the sky. No one saw them slowly falling into the water under the dark night. They drove the motor to rotate wildly, and aimed at the "Yamato" like a frightened shark. They accelerated continuously!
The guidance weapons in Zhu Bin are all equipped with advanced electronic units that he doesn't care about the price. Even for such conventional anti-ship weapons, in addition to radar sonar guidance, autonomous sonar and target voiceprint recognition locks are not enough! Each torpedo has a computer and wireless communication unit that makes everyone's similar products so that these days are eclipsed!
The torpedo, whose range was greatly shortened due to the simplified propulsion system, still had an attack range of more than 20 kilometers. At this time, the large body of the Yamato was only ten kilometers away. The two cheerful torpedoes increased their speed to 30 knots in one breath and maintained steady progress. They chased the warship, whose speed had to be reduced to 22 knots because of the turn!
Natsuki stared at the sight of the artillery shell being intercepted and exploded, but it didn't appear again for several minutes. His head was covered in mud, and he really couldn't figure out what the other party was trying to do. Could it be that such a miracle cannot be copied? It's just a blind cat hitting a dead mouse? Or their weapon abilities are so limited?
The torpedo was not discovered at all. On the dark night, the electric-propelled torpedo track was not obvious, and he was also confident that his warship could withstand various attacks - even the imperial nucleic acid torpedo was not a problem!
Seeing the "Yingzhou" floating around the sea skillfully, it soon ran to the left wing, making their advantageous formation less useful. Fortunately, the cruiser on the left also rushed to the range, and a series of shells smeared the sea and blew up the sea water columns, and the hit rate was not seen!
Nagashiyama felt something was wrong! If the other party just rushed in rashly, this matter was understandable, but with the other party's ability, he might have discovered the fleet's traces long ago. Then it would not run away and would have the confidence to confront it! Even if there was no definite reconnaissance result before, now it is so close that it is beaten by three main battleships and there is no intention of running away. This guy is either crazy or conspiracy!
"No! You can't follow the rules and let the other party lead the nose! There can't be any problems with the Yamato!"
Tadichi Nagamo was shocked and ordered: "Let the 'Sukuga' quickly turn to the battlefield and attack with the 'Yamato'!"
Don’t save the purpose of killing the other party first. Ensuring your existence is the key! The "Yamato" represents the dignity of the royal family and the reputation of the empire. You must ensure that no accidents occur!
The "Suruga" action should be considered fast. With the same power system as the "Yamato", the speed exceeds 30 knots and the two ships deliberately switched. The "Yamato" no longer chased the tail of "Yingzhou", and rushed directly into the right wing perimeter, giving up the gap to fill the "Suruga" that completed the rotation. This change of direction made the three main battleships form a strange posture of three points of water!
It's easy to say, but too slow to do it! The Yingzhou did not make a chasing attitude, as if he didn't care who came up. Time passed quickly in minutes, and two torpedoes quietly rushed into the Yamato. The waves suddenly rose from the sea made the lookout whistle, whose eyes widened, roared and screamed in fear: "Suspicious tracks were found at the stern! It's a torpedo!"
The Japanese Navy's eyes were really nice. At this time, the torpedo was still two kilometers away. I don't know how they saw it!
But that didn't matter. With a shout, the whole ship was shocked! Before Nagatoshi could get the order, the two deep-water bomb launchers at the rear were fully fired. They interlaced and "all of them" and shot more than a dozen gasoline barrel bombs in one breath. The slow-responding tail gun turned around with all their strength. They aimed at the other side in a flat-fire manner and fired continuously. In short, no matter whether it hits or not, let's do it first!
The end speed of the two hanging torpedoes can reach fifty knots! The last three kilometers are required to sprint and accelerate. From the first shout of the lookout whistle to the first torpedo to the nearby, it only takes dozens of seconds. As soon as more than a dozen deep-water bombs fell to the sea, they were directly detonated by the forced naval guns, and a series of "rumbling" sounds followed one after another!
This is one of the methods that the Japanese Navy came up with torpedoes!
Through communication with the Germans, they roughly know that torpedoes can track the noise of warships and guide them. The destruction method is to make greater noise to make them trek; and then, it is to explode and intercept the sea with dense and powerful artillery fire at the first time. This is commonly used and effective by the Chinese Navy!
The Japanese Navy, which had suffered a great loss, was very concerned about this. As the imperial flagship, the "Yamato" was a top priority. From the beginning of the battle, the people behind them were fully prepared, and the speed of the reaction was so fast!
The sudden explosion not only caused a huge water pressure impact, but also had a great noise and direct destructive power. It also happened to be on the trajectory of the torpedo attack. The first torpedo was indeed affected. His running posture suddenly stopped and could not be seen in the dense splash of water columns.
But no one dared to cheer for success! Who knows whether it was destroyed or disintegrated or safe? If it really detonated, there would be a huge explosion, obviously there would be no one!
The fact is that the torpedo was indeed temporarily ineffective, but don’t forget that there is another one behind it! The torpedoes launched on the "Yingzhou" can be remotely controlled!
In the Cic Center, the majestic figure signal of the "Yamato" and the 100-meter distance between the deep-water bomb intercepted explosion signal were clearly measured. The torpedo signal plunged into the explosion belt was affected by the violent explosion and became unclear. The weapon decisively removed the audio and sound pattern guidance command and switched to wake guidance!
The second torpedo changed direction from further apart, drilling into the relatively weak stern power system from the original plan to attack, and instead attacking directly to the frontal rush of the waterline armor belt!
The drastic changes caused by the deep-water bomb also made the lookout whistle mist. The second torpedo trail was discovered when it was approaching, but the speed of the torpedo had reached fifty knots. It was impossible to hide! I watched the guy floating on the water surface and hit the waterline armor like a small submarine! The vertically suspended lightning protection net was pierced by the high-temperature metal jet sprayed from the torpedo's head at the first time. The vibration caused by the high-speed impact was less than that of the shells that were ten times faster, but the mixed high-explosion ** of up to 320 kilograms was so powerful that it was terrifying!
"Boom!"
Amid the earth-shaking loud noise, a water column several hundred meters high soared into the sky, with a violent flashing radius of 200 to 300 meters, almost swallowing half of the "Yamato Ship"!
The tandem warhead with a power equivalent to twenty heavy armor-piercing bombs exploded in a concentrated manner, forming a direct frontal detonation effect on the waterline armor. The thick armor belt was not blown out of a big hole, but it collapsed the steel structure and burst out a large area of shocking dents and cracks. The inner lining and compartment were completely broken!
The Yamato seemed to be punched by a Titan giant. The 60,000 ton large lump trembled violently. The hull suddenly shook to the side, and the officers and soldiers of the No. 3,000 inside were almost shocked and lying down!
Natsui Nagashika rushed to the porthole and shouted loudly: "What's going on! Check the damage quickly!"
No problem can happen! If the flagship representing the dignity of the empire is solved, it would be so embarrassing!
Also, how did the guys on the opposite side be so terrible? During the violent change of direction and high-speed navigation, the torpedo they fired was so accurate and hidden. How did they do it?!
That is, as he had just finished shouting, the first torpedo, which was dazed by the deep water bomb, actually came out again, and walked around the other side and slowly approached the lightning protection net. I don’t know if it was because of the violent vibration that caused the warhead to be damaged, but it did not explode!
But the operator on the "Yingzhou" did not delay. When he saw something was wrong, he immediately pressed the remote control detonation button, and then a flash suddenly lighted up about ten kilometers! (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
