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 speedboats and submarines are the standard version of "mouse and elephant". (Dian Dian Novel) The elephant has a huge physical advantage, and it also has a long trunk. It seems
A simple swipe can crush a mouse into pieces. However, the real situation is that no matter how wildly the elephant's trunk sweeps, it can't do anything to the mouse. On the contrary, under the attack of the mouse's "spit", a piece of the elephant's east side falls off.
There is a hole in the meat on the west side, but it looks very ugly.
The phrase "rats and elephants" came from Steimin, and in a related discussion, he wrote: "Commander Kim is bound to win Guam. This confidence is worthy of recognition, but he seems to have forgotten
Just imagine the battle of Jiwan and the attack on the aircraft carrier formation. You can imagine that less than thirty Chinese small boats faced off against two American battleships. It was a mouse and an elephant. However, the mouse won in the end.
It’s incredible, but looking at the whole process, it seems inevitable. When Commander Jin drove all the frigates forward and brought them close to start shooting with the Chinese shore forts, their fate was already sealed..."
Only 20 minutes had passed since King reported to LeMay, the naval battle in Guam had undergone changes that stunned everyone. When a Chinese submarine suddenly poked its head out only about 1,500 meters away from the battleship USS Alabama.
came and successfully launched four torpedoes to the port side of the battleship USS Alabama. In Steming's words: "At this point, the fate of the American battleship formation has been decided!"
"Torpedo! Torpedo!" On the USS Alabama, the American sailors on the port side screamed hysterically as if they had been stung on the butt.
On the ship island, Jin turned his head when he heard the cry, and his face immediately turned pale. "Where are the sonar soldiers? Where are the sonar soldiers?" Being approached by an enemy submarine at such a close distance is of course a problem for the sonar soldiers. China
Its torpedo technology is unparalleled in the world. Not only does it have an overwhelming advantage in speed, it also has the ability to launch submarines, which also makes defense very difficult. Therefore, let alone being approached by the opponent to a distance of nearly 1,500 meters, Alabama
The main engine of the USS Alabama has not yet reached rated speed. Even if the distance is further away, the main engine of the USS Alabama is running at full speed. Facing four torpedo salvoes, the possibility of avoiding them all or even avoiding the vital points is very low.
The atmosphere on the USS Alabama suddenly became tense. Amid the shouts of the officers, all the American sailors who were still idle were dispatched and rushed to their posts. The sound of machine guns and rapid-fire cannons was as loud as beans.
It started to sound. Later, even the anti-aircraft guns and several secondary guns at the stern of the ship also joined in the shooting. However, the four torpedoes seemed to have been channeled, and they evaded the crazy sniping fire of US artillery shells and bullets.
It rammed firmly towards the port side of the Alabama.
"Depth charges! Depth charges!" Colonel Braid, the captain of another battleship, the USS Arkansas, shouted loudly. The Arkansas was located on the left front of the USS Alabama, so from Braed's perspective, he could see it
The four white water lines were rapidly approaching the Alabama.
When it comes to what a sea giant like a battleship fears most, it is of course torpedoes. Worried that it 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 operations with some hindsight.
At a distance of 1,500 meters, for the 45-1 torpedo with a top speed of 59 knots, it only takes about fifty seconds to reach the target. Fifty seconds is not enough time for the Alabama
Increase the main engine speed to the rated speed. Naturally, unless it can be sniped with guns midway, the Alabama will definitely not escape doom.
The battleship USS Akse was in a state of panic. On the USS Alabama, as the ship's hull suddenly trembled heavily, it was realized that it was an enemy torpedo that had hit the ship's hull. From gold to ordinary Americans,
Sailors, everyone's hand movements subconsciously paused. Then, almost at the same time as a deafening explosion sounded, as if they suddenly received an order at the same time, a large number of American soldiers screamed and turned around in unison.
He ran away, and many people even lay down on the deck. Jin clung to the railing in front of him, clenched his teeth, and endured the violent explosion. A wave of water more than thirty meters high was stirred up on the port side.
Several American soldiers on the port side of the shock wave caused by the explosion screamed and squatted on the deck with their heads in their hands, and some even fell down directly. Of course, it was an afterthought, because just when the sailors on the Arkansas began to frantically throw depth bombs into the sea
, the other two submarines participating in the attack of the raiding fleet have revealed their figures on the starboard side of the Alabama.
It has to be said that Huang Tianxun has truly achieved the ultimate in the application of submarines, successfully turning his submarines into assassins in the sea, and he has repeatedly targeted extremely valuable targets.
All three submarines sneaked into the vicinity of the USS Alabama. For Huang Tianxun, this was a success beyond expectations and a perfect start. Then, because the submarine that showed up first fired four torpedoes.
He was immediately hit by intensive artillery fire from the US warships, but there was no joy on his face.
Huang Tianxun had actually predicted before the war that even if the raiding fleet could succeed in the 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 such as submarines and torpedo boats that need to get close to the target to launch an attack. Even if they can steal the range without anyone noticing, it is basically impossible to complete the attack and then retreat unscathed.
Possibly. After all, compared to the speed of submarines and torpedo boats, naval guns can adjust their firing angles faster. But there are no other guns on battleships, and there are almost as many naval guns as there are.
Originally, after possessing submarine-launched torpedoes, the submarine had the opportunity to launch torpedoes under the water and then sneak away. However, because it was concerned about the opponent's sonar, it was worried that it would be heard by the opponent before stealing the range and then be attacked by depth charges.
Insufficient range would give enemy ships a chance to avoid, so after weighing the balance, Huang Tianxun still ruthlessly issued an order requiring the three submarines participating in the attack to be close to a certain distance before being allowed to launch an attack. As for torpedo boats and missile speedboats, the former is actually used for
Attracting the attention of enemy ships can create opportunities for submarines. However, because the destructiveness of missiles is limited to the ship's buildings, Huang Tianxun did not dare to place high hopes on them.
"Abandon the boat immediately, brothers, you have completed the task brilliantly!" Huang Tianxun shouted loudly in the chat.
The lead boat did indeed complete its mission excellently. Although they only launched four torpedoes, all four torpedoes hit the target, and judging from the visual observation, the damage they caused to the battleship Alabama was quite large.
