Today is a special day for Chen Xiao, because today happens to be his 20th birthday. Because of the combat mission, Chen Xiao originally did not expect to celebrate his birthday, or he could go back and make up for it after the war. However, just this morning, , Captain Li Liang personally walked into his cabin carrying a bowl of noodles, and brought several other off-duty officers on the ship to send birthday wishes, "Xiao Chen, happy birthday." When Li Liang said this Chen Xiao's eyes were moist when he said this. Not long ago, Chen Xiao was interviewed by an old American reporter. At that time, the reporter asked this question: "What do you think is the difference between the Xuebing Army and other armies?" ." Unfortunately, Chen Xiao, who was introverted, could not answer the question at that time. At this moment, Chen Xiao had the answer in his mind. The difference between the Xuebing Army and other armies may be that it is more humane. Like a big family, they are all willing to die for the honor of this big family,
As a sailor who has only been in the army for half a year, Chen Xiao, who only knows how to paddle with two hands, has very complicated feelings for the ocean. From a young man's perspective, he likes this kind of drifting life at sea. However, based on the cruel reality, he also With a little fear, "Our mission is to prevent the Japanese submarines and torpedoes from getting close to the aircraft carrier, even if we risk our lives. The destroyer is the armor and shield of the aircraft carrier, and we are the soul of the destroyer." This sentence is. What Li Liang said to Chen Xiao when he arrived on the Danyang was so impressive to him because from then on, he would recite these words silently the first thing he did when he got up every morning. He once felt disgusted with this. In terms of behavior, as a graduate of Tsinghua University, he recognizes the honor of sacrificing his life for the country, but at the same time he hates artificial restrictions on his freedom of thought. It is too coercive, which naturally makes him have a rebellious mentality; Years of military service, where he was either training or fighting every day, made his mind somewhat mechanical, to the point where he didn't know what he was doing most of the time. Now, he suddenly thought of these words on his own initiative. That was because of his personal feelings. Realizing the sense of honor and mission in these words,
In the eyes of Ouyang Yun, Chen Shichang and other boss-level figures, the Japanese special attack tactics are a joke in themselves. Therefore, although they pay enough attention to them, they will not change their inherent understanding of the development direction of naval warfare. For Chen Xiao, For ordinary sailors, special attack tactics directly pose a sufficient threat to their lives, so it is absolutely false to say that they are not afraid.
Regarding the special attack tactics of the Japs, the most common comment made by soldiers from various allied countries is: "The Japanese are crazy." Chen Xiao also often talks about this sentence, but today, when he saw that there were no special attack torpedoes left, he Getting closer and closer, even though he said the same sentence, he didn't feel any fear in his heart. It can be said to be an epiphany, or it can be said to be fearless, but this is Chen Xiao's true psychology at this moment. activity photos,
The real threat of the Japanese navy's special attack force is by no means as insignificant as what Chen Shichang mentioned at the pre-war mobilization meeting, because as long as there is a problem in one detail, it may cause unexpected losses to the Huangdi aircraft carrier fleet. From this In terms of level, although the Huangdi aircraft carrier fleet maintains suppression of Ishii Haru's troops, this suppression is not absolute. If you are not careful, you may be overturned. For example, now, Chen Xiao's Danyang is facing danger of destruction,
The Danyang was not on the front line of the anti-submarine front, but this special attack torpedo broke through the first and second anti-submarine defense lines composed of anti-submarine helicopters and several other destroyers. If the Danyang could not intercept it, then this A special attack torpedo may cause damage to the aircraft carrier group behind it. Based on this, Li Liang, the captain of the Danyang, even though he knew that the aircraft carrier group had certain close anti-submarine and defense capabilities, he did not dare to consider this possibility at all. Li Liang He personally maneuvered the ship to greet it, and at the same time issued an order to capture this special attack torpedo at all costs.
The anti-submarine network formed by the destroyer towing sonar and anti-submarine helicopters has a very high anti-submarine efficiency. This is why Ishii Haruji has always avoided fighting. His foresight was proved from the beginning of the battle. In less than a quarter of an hour, his troops were ready. Three special attack submarines were sunk by depth charges dropped by helicopters, including a special attack tactical mothership like the Min-03B. The biggest advantage of a submarine is that it can launch an attack without the enemy being aware of it, and can dive again after one hit. Going out on the battlefield and risking being illuminated by sonar to attack was actually a risk to death given the vulnerability of submarines. The anti-submarine force of the Huangdi aircraft carrier fleet had already weaved a large anti-submarine net, and Ishiibe crashed into it at this time. In fact, it is suicide. Of course, as Tsukahara 243 hoped, now Ishii can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor and make a desperate fight. In Tsukahara 243's mind, Huangdi No. No matter how strong the anti-submarine warfare capabilities of the aircraft carrier fleet are, facing dozens of special attack submarines and more special attack torpedoes at the same time, it is impossible for them to cover everything. But just one of ten is enough for the Wuwei aircraft carrier fleet.
Obviously, Tsukahara 243 took it for granted that compared to submarines, the maneuverability of helicopters was too strong. So, just as Ishii Haruna was worried, after launching the attack, his special attack submarine force was like a group of swarms. Like moths on fire, one ship after another was sunk under the attack of depth charges, becoming an artificial reef in this sea area.
There are anti-submarine helicopters in the front to intercept, and the first array of destroyers in the middle launch depth bombs for sniping. In this case, this special attack torpedo can be launched by the special attack tactics mothership and break through the first and second anti-submarine nets. On the one hand, it proves that the performance of this type of torpedo is quite good, on the other hand, it also shows that the Japanese who control it are highly skilled and tactical and lucky enough. Of course, this also fulfilled Chen Xiao and gave him something to celebrate his 20th birthday. An opportunity to receive a great gift,
Before this battle, Chen Shichang organized all officers and soldiers to watch videos to enhance anti-subconscious and counter-attack tactics. Therefore, Chen Xiao was no stranger to special attack torpedoes and their attack methods. Of course, the image data is different from reality after all, such as the sense of substitution. , Therefore, when watching the movie, Chen Xiao can be calm and objective. But now, even though he is fearless of life and death, he is still nervous. Compared to the cadets on cruisers, aircraft carriers and even missile speedboats, Chen Xiao and the others are Life is a bit boring and monotonous, because now maritime operations are mainly a competition between naval aviation and large naval guns. Therefore, as the peripheral force of the fleet, although they share anti-submarine and security tasks, in fact, many times they do not engage in firefights. Opportunity, without the opportunity to participate in combat, it does not matter the growth of combat experience. Although there is no shortage of fire during training, the concepts of dead targets and enemies are different. Chen Xiao is therefore a little nervous, which seems to be natural.
Take a deep breath, aim, and then calculate the advance. The next moment, Chen Xiao pressed the shooting button.
