Chapter 1581 Torpedo Boat vs Battleship (new book released, please support)

There were not many stars in the sky this morning, and the moon was covered by dark clouds. The sea surface was pitch black. As the wind and waves receded, the sea fog rose up, like a river of Styx. In the hazy sea fog, there were hundreds of beams of light looking back and forth.

With the position exposed, Fisher ordered the fleet to turn on the searchlights. The searchlights of the Combined Fleet would sweep across the sea from time to time to prevent submarine attacks.

Submarines, one of their biggest threats.

When the destroyers and light cruisers on the periphery searched the sea with their searchlights, they did not expect that at this time they were like lights in the dark, exposing their own existence/
"There they are!"

Lin Xianyu pointed excitedly at the moving lamp post in the distance.

That's right!

It's the lights of the Combined Fleet!

"Watch out for searchlights, avoid them..."

Why did you choose torpedo boats for night attack?
Because the 21-meter-long torpedo boat is maneuverable and flexible, it can perfectly avoid searchlights when sailing at night. In past exercises, it touched the water in troubled waters more than once and caused heavy damage to the enemy.

And more importantly... No one would expect to encounter a torpedo boat here. After all, this sea area is far away from the mainland—a full three to four hundred nautical miles, and even the nearest island is hundreds of nautical miles away.

No one would have thought that the torpedo boat would appear here, it was by surprise.

"I take the helm myself!"

Finally, after confirming the position of the United Kingdom and the United States, Lin Xianyu took over the position of the helmsman. When he manipulated the steering wheel, his heart was sweating. .

Not fear, but nervousness.

Why he was so nervous, he didn't know, but he was definitely not afraid of death.

It is now!
This is exactly the time they have been waiting for!

As the speedboat approached the fleet, the sea was eerily quiet, with only the sound of the wind blowing on the mast and the vibration of the engine.In the waves, the officers and soldiers of the torpedo boat unit had already forgotten the horror of death, and slowly, they seemed to be integrated with the torpedo boat.

He only thought about how to sink the enemy in front of him.

The sea is filled with a layer of sea fog, which perfectly hides the small torpedo boats. They are like ghosts on the sea, constantly approaching the fleet. They are in groups of two speedboats, sailing in the sea fog, carefully avoiding the beam of light .

Between the beams of light and the darkness of the beams of light, one after another torpedo boats sailed carefully with the help of their flexible maneuverability. The undulating waves scattered their tracks, and even when they passed the peripheral destroyers, the British sailors on board Neither noticed the torpedo boat passing by.

After all, in the dark, people's eyes will naturally follow the light.

"Calm down... calm down, just calm down!"

Lin Xianyu, who was manipulating the steering wheel, suddenly turned on the steering wheel, and a beam of light almost swept across the position in front of the torpedo boat.

With the beam of light moving back and forth, Lin Xianyu saw the outline of a warship in the distance, and after vaguely seeing the four gun turrets in the front and rear, he followed it without hesitation. He didn't need to look for other targets, because it would definitely It's a big ship.

Just sinking a big ship is enough!
However, he did not approach the enemy from the broadside. He tried to seize the bow position. According to the common sense of torpedo attack, launching a torpedo head-on to the enemy ship is the most effective. At this time, whether the enemy ship is turning to port or starboard There is no room for dodge even with the rudder, so attack head-on if you have the chance.

Not only Lin Xianyu is looking for a suitable location, but other torpedo boats are also. Under the cover of sea fog and twilight, they are sailing in the middle of the mighty fleet of the Anglo-American United Fleet. They have been looking for a suitable location. attack timing.

Head-on launch is the best launch position, but it needs a suitable launch time, especially in this kind of formation combat, but it is difficult to ensure that every torpedo boat can grab a suitable position. Therefore, the most suitable attack position is now It is a fan-shaped flank attack, but this requires them to get as close to the enemy ship as possible.

On this starless night, there are always too many legendary stories. At 45:[-], on the battleship "Victory", Adam, who was manipulating the searchlight, followed the light with his eyes, although he seemed very focused , but he didn't notice at all that a torpedo boat had already arrived.

"God bless!"

While praying, Lin Xianyu's eyes were fixed on the bow of the enemy ship ahead, and he finally found a suitable position.

Behind the four torpedo tubes, the torpedo commanders also stared at the enemy ships ahead.

Just a few minutes later, Yu 037 driven by Lin Xianyu was only 300 meters away from the oncoming enemy ship, and another torpedo boat followed him closely.

"Sir, 300 meters!"

"Prepare!"

Lin Xianyu let out a loud shout. Although it was the early morning when the stars and moon were dim and the sea was filled with fog, Lin Xianyu looked coldly at the beams of light emitted by the searchlights of the United Kingdom and the United States fleet... Now is the time!

"No. [-] is complete, No. [-] is complete..."

At the same time as the command to complete the four torpedo tubes sounded, the rangefinder on the command bridge shouted again.

"The distance is two hundred and five!"

"First from the left! Launch! First from the right! Launch!"

At the same time as two consecutive passwords sounded, accompanied by the muffled sound of two propellant charges, the two electric torpedoes jumped out of the torpedo tubes like a dragon entering the sea under the push of the propellant charge. At the moment of entering the sea, two balls of water splashed on the sea first, and then drove towards the enemy ship less than 200 meters ahead, without any trajectory during the whole process.This is the biggest advantage of electric torpedoes.

"Left full rudder!"

At the moment when the two torpedoes were launched, Lin Xianyu gave the command again, and turned the steering wheel casually. The speedboat that was rushing straight towards the enemy ship violently threw a ball of sea waste several meters high, almost sticking to the enemy ship and heading towards it. Drive back.

It was the detonation of the torpedo launch and the waves turning with the full rudder of the torpedo boat that exposed its existence. The British sailors who found these torpedo boats could hardly believe their eyes. When trying to control the cannon to counter, it was found that the distance was too close to attack the torpedo boat that was almost driving close to them.

"Torpedo boat found!"

"Torpedo boat!"

The hoarse shouts of sailors were everywhere on the "Victory" battleship. When they shouted loudly, they didn't realize that two torpedoes were approaching directly in front of them, but the excellent training of the Royal Navy was still on the way. At this time, it played a role. The sailors operating the searchlights changed their direction almost at the same time, and swept towards the sea.

"Did they fire a torpedo?"

"They haven't launched yet..."

Just when the officer on duty in the conning tower reported to the captain, suddenly, the bow of the "Victory" suddenly lifted up, and with a loud noise, a huge water column rose into the air in front of the left front of the bow.

Got hit!

Before they could react, there was another violent shock in front of the battleship. The violent explosion exploded at the lower part of the rear of the bow. Two torpedoes directly hit the bow of the "Victory" battleship. Two torpedoes The entire bow of the ship was almost blown away, and the seawater poured into the fleet in an instant, without even leaving time for the British to damage the tubes. First, the ammunition depot was swallowed up, and then the entire boiler room was completely submerged in seawater. Then there was another explosion from the bow, and the bow of the "Victory" was hit by a third torpedo again.

Three explosions sounded in succession behind them, only to make the Yu 037 torpedo boat sound a long live sound. At this time, Yu 037 and Yu 046 are no longer elves in the dark night. Under the strong light of the searchlight, the two small boats Everything on the boat was seen through.

But what was even more clear was the "Victory" next to them. Its bow was almost blown off, but in just the blink of an eye, the turbulent water caused the bow to sink seriously.

"Torpedo boat, how could there be a torpedo boat!"

When the British and Americans in the fleet were astonished, they saw that the two torpedo boats had rushed towards other warships. Lin Xianyu, who was driving the torpedo boat to the next target, ignored it at all, and flew from all directions. bullet rain.

Although the strong light of the searchlight illuminated everything on the boat very brightly, there was only one feeling left in his heart, that only he and the high-speed torpedo boat were left between the sky and the sea.

The water jets from the shells continuously slapped the sea water onto his body, but the cool sea water could not extinguish the fire in Lin Xianyu's heart. When the explosion sound came from behind him, the brightest smile appeared on his face—— He accomplished his mission by sinking a battleship.

"Concentrate fire on the port side and shoot at the torpedo boat!"

The gunnery commander in the conning tower of the "Sovereign" shouted loudly.Everyone in the commander looked nervously at the two torpedo boats, his eyes and everyone else's eyes were full of surprise, how could there be torpedo boats?

This place is thousands of kilometers away from the mainland. How could this kind of small boat, which is only tens of feet long, come here?

In all their plans, torpedo boats were not considered, because, as we all know, those small boats can't go that far at all... Torpedo boats are for offshore use.

"There must be other torpedo boats, definitely not just two..."

At this moment, a scream came from the microphone, "Two torpedo boats were found on the starboard side..."

It only took a minute or two from the time of discovery to the explosion of two huge water columns on the starboard side of the Sovereign.It was only then that the Royal Navy and US Navy officers and soldiers realized what they had encountered - a torpedo boat ambush group!
But by this time, it was too late.

Like a tiger chasing a sheep, Lin Xianyu, who was driving the torpedo boat, noticed the aircraft carrier directly ahead. Although he couldn't distinguish the ship number, he still rushed over directly. Amidst the flying bullets, at a distance of 400 meters In the place, two torpedoes were fired directly head-on.

The two torpedoes that came out of the tube flew directly to the aircraft carrier under the sea. Although there were no more torpedoes, Lin Xianyu still shouted loudly.

"Attack the next ship."

"Sir, there are no more torpedoes!"

"I know, let's attract firepower..."

When Lin Xianyu was driving the torpedo boat towards another target, a large water column suddenly exploded from the bow of the aircraft carrier. In the violent explosion, the aircraft carrier transformed from a merchant ship did not even have to struggle a few times. It started to get seriously flooded.

"The "Victory" has been sunk!"

"The "Dignity" was hit by a torpedo! It has been seriously flooded..."

"and also……"

As soon as he arrived at the command tower, Fisher got bad news one after another. These news made him frown. He walked to the window of the command tower and looked towards the sea. And the huge water column is constantly rising, and every large water column rising into the sky means that a torpedo has hit the target.

With the help of gun flames and searchlights, one could clearly see the torpedo boats shuttling back and forth like ghosts on the sea surface. In the three to four-foot high waves, several fast-attacking torpedo boats were pushed into the air by the waves, and then violently hit the sea,
The small torpedo boats drove quickly between the waves and the waves. Although the water column of the explosion kept blowing up near them, it didn't seem to affect them at all. On the sea surface, the torpedo boats that launched the torpedo did not immediately dodge , but danced in the rain of bullets, yes, they were dancing, they were showing their dancing posture!

No one knows which torpedo boat has torpedoes and which one has no torpedoes. All the torpedo boats have become the targets of the gunners. with shells.

But the swarming torpedo boats seemed endless. They launched attacks again and again, and occasionally shells hit the torpedo boats. Although the torpedo boats were blown to pieces and turned into torches at sea, the gunners No one cheered at all, because the torpedo boat was still attacking them, and they might be hit by torpedoes in the next moment.

What's more terrible is that they can't find the trace of the torpedo at all. In many cases, as long as a torpedo boat approaches the launch position, the captains will order the rudder to turn sharply in horror, but when they turn the rudder, there is no trace of the sideboard. It exploded without warning.

In order to avoid the attack of the torpedo boats, the orderly battle team became a swarm of bees, and the messy formation gave the torpedo boats a better chance. Just when the array of the combined fleet fell into chaos, dozens of torpedo boats that came later, like Jing Ke brandishing the sword of King Qin Like a sharp sword, he stabbed in fiercely.

They flexibly avoided the beams of searchlights and even the artillery shells fired by enemy ships, and rushed towards the most valuable targets.

In this fleeting time, there is more than just a split second of the day, and the entire sky and sea seem to be enveloped in flames, reaching a temperature that can melt stone and burn steel.

The sea boiled. Amid the deafening explosions of shells and the roar of torpedoes, warships, aircraft carriers and armored cruisers, under the successive attacks of torpedo boats, exploded violently and sank slowly to the bottom of the deep sea.

Despite this, the British and American sailors on the joint fleet are still sticking to their posts. They braved thick smoke and flames, faced the threat of death, and did not flinch.Their faces were reflected by the flames with a calm and resolute look, as if they were determined to face the judgment of fate.

The explosion of shells, the roar of torpedoes, and the shouts of sailors, these sounds are intertwined in this sea, composing a symphony with their lives... In fact, it is just the last swan song.
