In terms of volume, the Swordfish-type high-speed torpedo boat, let alone a big one like the Soryu, is compared with the two to three thousand ton destroyers. It is the same existence as a sampan compared to a large ship. However, if anyone underestimates it because of this For these sampans, what awaits him will definitely be a devastating blow.
All because of the existence of torpedoes, a deadly weapon at sea.
The Swordfish-type high-speed torpedo boat has developed into three derivative models so far, and even the most original one is equipped with four torpedoes and two launch tubes. At a distance of three to five hundred meters, let alone big guys like the "Tama", Soryu, Ryūjō, and Okitaka, even those destroyers of one or two thousand tons would be difficult to completely avoid. ,
A single swordfish seems so weak that it can be swallowed up by the waves when sailing on the ocean. However, when the number increases, its threat increases almost exponentially. Yanagimoto has already realized this. , he was trying hard to think of countermeasures, but what happened was that merchant ships squeezed into the aircraft carrier group and collided. The little devil was so angry that his eyes almost burst out with fire, "Eight grids." , these selfish guys," he cursed angrily, slashing randomly on the guardrail in front of him with the command knife in his hand, feeling scared and anxious in his heart.
"Your Excellency, the merchants can't count on it. Let the other ships move closer to us. As long as we can delay it for a while and wait for our ship's bomber to fly into the sky, I believe, I believe it should be possible to thwart the Chinese conspiracy." Major stammered and said,
After the blockade established by the main naval guns was broken through, the importance of the ship-bombers became apparent. Yanagimoto decisively ordered people to pull the ship-bombers out of the hangar. However, this process could not be completed in a short time, so this Major That’s why I suggest this,
Yanagimoto glanced at the busy crowd on the deck and waved helplessly: "This is the only way. You can pass the order."
The order was quickly passed on. Nabeshima Shunsaku, who was commanding the heavy cruiser "Tama" to avoid torpedoes, received it. The little Japanese sighed: "It's too late, it's too late."
A captain next to him asked: "Your Excellency, then."
"Ignore him, let's do our thing." Nabeshima said calmly,
"Your Excellency," the captain wanted to persuade him again, but the rest of his words were choked in his throat by Nabeshima's fierce glare. Nabeshima pointed with his right hand at the group of swordfish rushing towards the waves and said sternly: "There are so many If you are a torpedo boat, slowing down is not courting death, or is it turning around? Those people will laugh like crazy."
Nabeshima originally had a total of six battleships under his command, but now there are only three left. One of them was hit by water on the port side early, and its maneuverability was greatly weakened. Nabeshima realized that the battleship had been sunk. It was just a matter of time, so he simply ordered the captain of the ship to use his style to help the "Tama" block the torpedoes, so the warship was hit by two torpedoes one after another. What is surprising is that although these two torpedoes both hit the However, the battleship refused to sink, and because of the battleship's tenacity, the "Tama" had already avoided two fatal blows.
When the Japanese merchant ship came out from the escort of three aircraft carriers, Huang Tianxun realized the little devil's intention, and he snorted.
He said: "The little Japanese want to use merchant ships to help them block torpedoes. Do they think this will use up all our torpedoes?"
Even if only half of the more than two hundred swordfish can gain range in the end, there will still be more than four hundred swordfish based on the minimum carrying capacity of four. If we also count the torpedoes carried by more than thirty submarines, then there will be six hundred torpedoes waiting for the five swordfish.
Sixty Japanese ships, ten each, are enough to send them all to the Dragon King of the South China Sea.
"Then let's get rid of these obstructionists first." A second lieutenant beside him asked,
Huang Tianxun picked up the chat microphone: "Brothers, rush over first and then talk. As long as we can get close, our world is ours. Today we are going to beat the little devil to tears."
"Haha." Many students laughed. In the laughter, more than ten Swordfishes rushed through the blockade. At the same time, two more Swordfish were directly hit by naval guns. The hulls of the ships disintegrated in the light of the fire. Several camouflage-colored
The figure was thrown high by the air waves and then fell into the turbulent sea water.
"Second brother, second child." A lone wolf-like howling sound suddenly sounded in the command channel, and the next moment it turned into an angry curse: "What a bastard little Japan, I'm a bastard of your ancestors."
Huang Tianxun turned his head and glanced to his left, with a sad expression on his face. This was the first Swordfish that failed to win. There were only two brothers in the entire Swordfish group, and they were both captains. They were howling angrily in the command channel.
It should be the boss Song Shuangwu. So, was Song Shuangwen's 173 hit? He let out a big breath, and Huang Tianxun suddenly shouted: "Song Shuangwu, the Guanggui is useless, take practical actions and use torpedoes to Shuangwen."
Take revenge."
The torpedo boat-style wolf pack tactics, torpedoes are their only weapons, so affected by the range of the torpedoes, the execution process itself is a test, even a torment, for the trainees participating in the war. The ships on the large surface ships of the Japanese army
Guns are not just decorations. They can easily have a range of tens of kilometers, giving them plenty of time to fire at the torpedo boats to eliminate the threat before they face the threat of torpedoes. The reason why the torpedo boat-style wolf pack tactics are effective against them is because they target their naval guns.
There are a limited number of weaknesses. Intuitively speaking, the torpedo boat-style wolf pack tactic is also a kind of exchange tactic. The torpedo boat that can finally achieve success actually relies on the sacrifice of friendly boats.
"put."
"emission."
"Blow up the dog's sun."
,, various forms of orders, but the result is the same, one, two or even four torpedoes are launched together, one, two or even four water lines speed towards the target Japanese ship, behind them are the ardent hatred of dozens of students.
eyes,
"The Japanese are in chaos." Suddenly, the second lieutenant next to Huang Tianxun shouted excitedly,
Huang Tianxun also saw it, and he immediately issued an order: "Attack, brothers, if we don't attack now, we will wait until later, and fight."
After the two merchant ships collided on the sea between the aircraft carriers Soryu and Ryujo, the speed of the two ships immediately slowed down. The merchant ship following them immediately collided head-on, unable to avoid or slow down in time. Between the two aircraft carriers
The width of the sea was limited, so more than two dozen merchant ships crowded together and soon formed a long string like wooden rafts.
At this time, as long as you aim at the middle of the raft and launch the torpedo, unless the torpedo is exploded by a Japanese ship during the voyage, there is absolutely no chance of failure.
If you don't know how to grasp this kind of opportunity, it won't be two hundred and fifty, so Huang Tianxun promptly issued the order for a large-scale attack. Seeing this scene, the swordfish immediately pounced like a shark smelling the smell of blood, and then "poof"
With a pop of sound, torpedoes were launched into the water one after another, and they pounced towards their prey like hungry wolves.
In less than five minutes, dozens of water lines appeared around the Soryu aircraft carrier. Seeing this scene, Yanasaku Yanagimoto's eyes were filled with sparks and his heart was in his throat. The little devil once again moved towards the busy ship.
The deck took a look, and then shouted in a particularly sharp tone: "Anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, direct torpedo fire, don't let them attack the Soryu."
