The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

() Missiles and cannonballs are the only thing that can be done by him in the whole world. Technology, thinking, and ability are all like this.

In terms of technological content and manufacturing cost, it is naturally incomparable, but when you calculate it carefully, the significance is astonishing!

For a long time, in the world's naval strategy, the means of dealing with giant ship cannons has been the same giant ship cannons. Yu Size's battleships have existed as the main force for decades and have not changed. Now it's time for a change. All countries are discussing the possibility of completely abolishing battleships.

Not everyone can fiddle with all kinds of fighter planes with unlimited speed like Zhu Bin, and no one can make heavy anti-ship missiles at will, who can really destroy battleships.For the most part, they are still at the level of diving attacks with aircraft carrying torpedoes and heavy bombs.

And these two attack methods do not mean that they must be tried and tested.Since China and Japan fought several times at sea, all countries, as long as they are not fools and blind, have begun to understand that the era of relying on battleships to fight alone is over. Except for the old empires like Germany, which are short on funds and technology, they have not yet prepared a few ships. In addition to the complete formation, regardless of the internal military reforms of the United Kingdom and the United States, the established naval formation has long been realized as a normalization. ..

Even if Japan, which has wiped out most of its battleships, would not let a single battleship come out foolishly, would it be courting death, or courting death!

Conversely, all countries have basically begun to try to combine auxiliary ships and light aircraft carriers to maximize the joint air defense capability while ensuring a powerful attack.At present, the caliber and number of air defense weapons of newly built warships in various countries have skyrocketed, and various regional joint air defense tactics are also under constant research. Even Britain and Germany have begun secret research on precise wireless proximity fuzes.And the Americans even took out the finished product!

The first one is the anti-aircraft shell of the 127mm mk38 dual-purpose gun!

Thanks to the good cooperative relationship with China, the electronic products imported by the Americans are old-fashioned. Many of the transistor products were stripped off by them and secretly engaged in imitation research. Bell Labs has already produced qualified germanium single crystal transistors for mass production. .Support the development of military technology.

With such a combination of scientific and reasonable battleship formations, the anti-air defense capabilities have skyrocketed, and it would be too simple to expect dozens or hundreds of slow-moving heavy-load attack aircraft or dive bombers to kill battleships at once!Not for anything else, the airborne torpedoes these days can't withstand too high attack speed, and the range is only about three or a few kilometers, but it happens to be within the range of various precision anti-aircraft guns above 37mm. Too small a torpedo.The power of the warhead is too low to blow up the newly built main battleship at all!

Dive bombing?It's just as difficult. Without the joint command of the pre-warning aircraft, a formation of six fighters can be regarded as an expert in attacking at the same time. No matter how many, dozens of joint attacks can be done in an orderly and flexible manner. It is not a difficult problem, it is almost impossible !

Dozens of such fighter planes 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 uneven development of military technology in the world, and the naval air defense capability was greatly improved, which actually caused the air attack force to be unable to keep up with the situation.

For the time being, it seems impossible for battleships to withdraw from the main fleet of the navy. Then three to four hundred millimeter shells are still the main attackers of the navies of various countries. How to defend against these tons of big guys.It is a big problem that has to be faced!

Except for battleships with thick armor of the same type, other light ships are delivering food to battleships.However, the cost of battleships is too expensive after all. For example, the cost of a "Yamato class" is 2.8 million yuan in contemporary times. What is the concept?Equivalent to [-] million US dollars, or [-] tons of gold!

This money can build ten destroyers or light cruisers with powerful force ratio.Even if the United States and Britain are as rich and powerful as the United States and Britain, they cannot do whatever they want with funds for construction.Then one-on-one competition, once it sinks, it will be painful, and the construction speed is too slow. It is fine at ordinary times, but in war, this is a terrible trouble!

Relatively speaking, whether it is a destroyer or a light cruiser, it will take less than a year to get it done if you speed it up. The cost is low, the armor is thin, and the main gun is small, but it can use excellent torpedoes to attack the capital ship. If it is killed, the loss of personnel and cost will be small, and once the attack is successful, the profit will be huge!

Therefore, the research of various countries on earning big returns at a small cost is naturally on the agenda, but now, they can't make missiles, and the performance of torpedoes is really painful.

That is to say, Zhu Bin can produce so many missile weapons, but even he never thought of fighting battleships with Britain and the United States. The overall national strength cannot be quickly improved by cheating. In the final analysis, there must be equal attack capabilities to check and balance .

Zhu Bin thought that it is natural that the future development trend will allow destroyers and cruisers to have the ability to confront battleships head-on!

Attack, you can use heavy anti-ship missiles when you are far away, and use high-speed torpedoes when you are close; defend, not only run fast and far, stealth, so that the opponent cannot hit, even if it enters the shelling distance, it can also withstand heavy shells bombardment!

Big guys like the "Yingzhou", supported by an advanced and huge nuclear power system, can be stuffed into a more expensive electromagnetic force shield system for hard resistance, and they can also use electromagnetic reconnection guns for counter-bombing, opening up the battleship's main armor.

It is difficult for other warships of small tonnage to do so, so what should we do?Let them have the ability to seal the throat of the shell with a sword!

The air defense missile system is no bigger than a truck, and it can fit a bunch on a destroyer with a length of more than 100 meters and a width of more than ten meters.In a naval battle, there are not so many shells that can really hit, which is enough.

And the intelligent defense and interception system can be easily installed on the ship. It does not need to consume a huge energy supply, and it can make a destroyer with only [-] tons capable of facing battleships, relying on accurate ballistic calculations and anti-horror attacks. The heavy artillery shells implement ballistic interception and destruction, so as to ensure their own safety!

This kind of thing is really not something ordinary people can imagine and do.However, Zhu Bin knew that based on the catalysis of war in this world, it is estimated that in another 20 years, other countries will definitely conduct research.Even if the ultra-fast supersonic shells can't be dealt with temporarily, the slow medium-pound aerial bombs will never be a problem.Air weapons take out battleships.There is a long way to go!

"Yingzhou" is undoubtedly responsible for the above-mentioned avant-garde novelty and important technical verification significance for contemporary people. For Zhu Bin, it makes up for all the shortcomings of the ideal blue sea fleet. He really despises the thousands of tons of ships, the attack is not good and the defense is incompetent.It doesn't even have the threat capability of hundreds of kilometers, it's too scumbag!

His ocean-going fleet must not be like that!Be sure to ensure that every battleship must have a considerable master station capability, rather than lacking in excess!

The two rounds of "Yingzhou" successfully intercepted. The probability is a bit high and outrageous, mainly because the radar system and the combat defense system of the intelligent unit are too perverted!Using the technical thinking of the interstellar era to downgrade and use it is a hundred years beyond this era!

There is no better experimental target than "Yamato"!Zhu Bin didn't want to expose his strength too much so as not to scare away the Japanese ship, or force him to fight with all his strength.But it would destroy his main mission of the global trial voyage, so the interception of shells was suspended, and two empty torpedoes were unceremoniously thrown out!

Conventional torpedoes are six to seven meters long and weigh one ton. It is not so difficult to spray them hundreds of meters into the air safely and quietly!Whether it is rocket-assisted or directly sprayed, the danger is extremely high!If it's not good enough, it will explode, or the launch unit will become huge and bloated, which is not suitable for hiding.

That is to say, the stature of "Yingzhou".Being able to stuff such a big guy in, and launch means.It's using electromagnetic bombs!In the vertical large left-wheel type vertical catapult, the structurally strengthened torpedo that is vertically sealed in the launch tube is launched into the air as a whole, and then the shell is exploded, the parachute is deployed to enter the water, and the attack is launched... .

There are too many technical aspects involved!It is also a technology verification weapon.After all, on the "Yingzhou-class" guided missile cruiser, this thing is not the main attack weapon, it is too weak, but on other destroyers with thousands of tons, this thing becomes a must!certainly.That kind of guy is just the line-up version, and it won't be made as big as 533mm. A destroyer of two or three thousand tons can't fit in a launch unit with a total height of ten meters!

There were two muffled sounds of "Tongtong", the flames disappeared, and the two large cylinders soared into the sky. In the dark night, no one saw them slowly falling into the water, and the driving motor rotated crazily, urging the heavy torpedo into fright. Aim at the "Yamato" like a shark and accelerate again and again!

The guided weapons in Zhu Bin's hands are all equipped with advanced electronic units that he doesn't care about the price at all. Even this kind of conventional anti-ship weapons, in addition to radar and sonar guidance, autonomous sonar and target voiceprint recognition and locking are not at all important. few!Each torpedo has a computer and wireless communication unit that eclipses all similar products these days!

The torpedo whose range is greatly shortened due to the simplification of the propulsion system still has an attack range of more than 22 kilometers. At this time, the mountain-like body of the "Yamato" is only ten kilometers away. The tone increased to [-] knots before maintaining a steady advance, chasing the warship that had to reduce its speed to [-] knots because of the turn and galloped through the waves!

Nan Yunzhong stared wide-eyed and waited to see the spectacle of the bomb being intercepted and exploded, but he didn't reappear for a few minutes. Not copyable?Is it just a blind cat hitting a mouse?Or is their weapon capability just that limited?

The torpedo was not found at all. In the dark night, the track of the electrically propelled torpedo was not obvious, and he was also confident that his warship could withstand all kinds of attacks—even if it was the imperial nine-three-acid torpedo. No problem!

Seeing the "Yingzhou" floating deftly on the sea surface, it ran to the left flank in a short time, making their advantageous formation suddenly useless. Fortunately, the cruiser on the left also arrived within range , to discredit a series of shells that exploded the water column on the sea surface with flames splashing everywhere, the hit rate, I didn't see it!

Chuichi Nagumo felt more and more that something was wrong!If the opponent just rushed in rashly, this matter is understandable, but with the ability of the opponent, I am afraid that the fleet has been spotted long ago, so if it does not run away, it must have the confidence to resist!Even though there were no definite investigation results before, now that he is so close, he has no intention of escaping after being beaten by three battleships. This guy is either crazy or conspiring!

"No! You can't follow the routine and let the other party lead you by the nose! There can be no problems with the Yamato!"

Nagumo Chuichi was shocked, and ordered: "Let 'Suruga' quickly turn and cut into the battlefield, and switch positions with 'Yamato' to attack!"

Don't save the purpose of killing the opponent first.Guaranteeing your own presence is key! The "Yamato" represents the dignity of the royal family and the reputation of the empire, and it must be guaranteed that no accidents will happen!

The action of "Suruga" should be considered fast. With the same power system as "Yamato", the speed exceeds 30 knots, and the two ships deliberately change positions. "Yamato" stopped chasing the tail of "Yizhou" and rushed directly to the periphery of the right wing in a diagonal stab, giving way to the "Suruga" that completed the turn. This change of direction made the three battleships A strange gesture of three points of water was formed!

Easier said than done! The "Yingzhou" did not make a gesture of chasing after it, as if it didn't care who came up, and the time passed quickly, and the two torpedoes quietly approached the "Yamato".The waves that suddenly rose from the sea made the lookout post, who was groping around with wide-eyed eyes, scream in horror: "Suspicious track was found in the stern! It's a torpedo!"

The eyes of the Japanese Navy are really good. At this time, the torpedo is still two kilometers away, and I don't know how they can tell it!

But that doesn't matter anymore, a loud shout shocked the whole ship!Before Nan Yunzhong gave an order, the two depth charge launchers at the rear were fully fired.Staggered "Tong Tong Tong" fired more than a dozen gasoline barrel bombs to the back of the buttocks in one breath, and the slow-reacting tail secondary gun turned around with all its strength.Aim at that side with a flat posture and shoot repeatedly. In short, no matter if you hit or not, do it first!

The terminal speed of the two vertical torpedoes can reach fifty knots!The last three kilometers were to sprint and accelerate. From the first shout of the lookout post to the first torpedo rushing to the vicinity, it only took a few tens of seconds.As soon as a dozen depth charges landed on the sea surface, the impatient naval guns were forced to detonate directly, and a series of loud noises followed one after another!

This is one of the methods that the Japanese Navy came up with to deal with torpedoes!

Through communication with the Germans, they probably know.The torpedo can track the noise of the battleship and guide it. The means of destruction is to make more noise to make it lose its way; and the second is to explode and intercept it on the sea surface with intensive and powerful artillery fire at the first time.

The Japanese Navy, which has suffered a lot, is very concerned about this, and the "Yamato" as the flagship of the empire is the top priority. From the beginning of the battle, the people behind are fully prepared, and the speed of reaction is so fast!

The sudden explosion not only caused a huge water pressure impact, but also caused a lot of noise and direct destructive power. It also happened to be on the trajectory of the torpedo attack. The first torpedo was indeed affected, and its running posture suddenly stagnated. Nowhere to be seen in the splash.

But no one dared to cheer success!Who knows if it was destroyed and disintegrated, or it was safe and sound?If it really detonated, there must be a huge explosion, obviously there is no such thing!

The fact is, that torpedo was indeed temporarily disabled for the first time, but don't forget that there is another one behind!In the launch center of the "Yingzhou", the distance between the signal of the majestic figure of the "Yamato" and the interception explosion signal of the depth charge bomb was clearly measured, and the signal of the torpedo that plunged into the explosion zone was violently The impact of the explosion became unclear, and the weapons officer decisively released the sound pattern guidance command and switched to wake guidance!

The second torpedo changed direction again from a farther distance, from the original plan to drill under the relatively weak stern power system to attack, and instead directly hit the frontal hedge of the midship waterline armor belt!

The dramatic changes caused by the depth charges also made the eyes of the lookout post foggy. The second torpedo track was discovered only when it was close, but the speed of the torpedo had already soared to 320 knots. It was impossible to hide!Watching the guy floating on the water crash into the waterline armor like a small submarine!The vertically suspended lightning protection net was immediately pierced by the high-temperature metal jet sprayed from the head of the torpedo. The vibration caused by the high-speed impact was not as good as that of the ten times faster shell, but the mixed high-explosive charge of up to [-] kg, The destructive power is so great that it makes one's heart skip a beat!

"Boom!"

Amidst the earth-shattering loud noise, a column of water hundreds of meters high rose into the sky, and the radius of the intense flash was 300 meters, almost swallowing half of the "Yamato Ship"!

The tandem warheads with the power equivalent to twenty heavy armor-piercing shells exploded in a concentrated manner, forming a direct frontal detonation effect on the waterline armor. The thick armor belt was not blown into a big hole, but it disintegrated the steel structure and blasted out A large number of shocking dents and cracks, the internal lining and compartments are completely ruptured!

The "Yamato" seemed to be punched by a giant titan. The [-]-[-]-ton body trembled violently, and the hull of the ship suddenly swayed to the side.

Nanyun Zhongyi rushed to the porthole and shouted loudly: "What's going on! Check the damage quickly!"

Can't go wrong!How embarrassing it would be if the flagship representing the dignity of the empire was taken care of!

Also, why are the guys on the opposite side so terrifying? While sailing at a high speed with a drastic change of direction, the torpedoes they launched are still so precise and concealed. How did they do it? !

Just after he finished shouting, the first torpedo that was stunned by the depth charge unexpectedly drilled out again, circled to the other side and slowly approached the lightning protection net, and it was not known whether it was violently shaken and caused the battle Due to internal damage, there was no explosion!

The operator on the "Yingzhou" did not procrastinate, and immediately pressed the remote control detonation button when he saw something was wrong, and then saw a flash of light suddenly light up at a distance of about ten kilometers! (to be continued...)

ps: I forgot that it was Qixi Festival yesterday!
