Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Looking at the fiasco of the Beiyang Fleet, Han Mingguang said silently, "Let me take full responsibility. I was the one who missed the opportunity."

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about that, let's rescue the Qing soldiers on the sea first."

Several ships of the Ryukyu First Fleet rushed to the sea area after the war to rescue the soldiers of the Qing army who fell into the water. Deng Shichang watched from the deck, frowning.

Deng Shichang watched the warship put down the small boat, and several soldiers rowed it, rescued the Qing soldiers who were thrashing in the water, and transported them back to the warship. When a Qing soldier saw Deng Shichang, he broke away from the person who was supporting him as if he had seen a savior. , Kneeling at Deng Shichang's feet with a "plop", crying: "Master Deng, why are you here? You have to avenge us!"

Deng Shichang took a closer look, and found that this person was the gunner on the Zhiyuan ship, named Zhao Laosi. Deng Shichang thought that his Zhiyuan ship had sunk to the bottom of the sea, and couldn't help but feel sad. Seeing Zhao Laosi crying, he couldn't help feeling more sad.

Beijing ship.

Lin Yuan said to Han Mingguang: "Political Commissar, what should we do next? I want to hear your opinion."

Han Mingguang said: "I think that if we want to change the Qing Dynasty, the destruction of the Beiyang Fleet is just an opportunity. A country will not make changes until it is difficult to continue. To change the Qing Dynasty, we can start with soft power."

Lin Yuan asked: "Soft power?"

Han Mingguang said: "Yes, to change the semi-feudal and semi-colonial situation in China today, we must first start with soft power, so that the concept of advocating democracy, republic, and science can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. During the May [-]th Movement, it was not proposed that 'only Mr. De and Can Mr. Sai 'can save China? We must spread these ideas to the hearts of every citizen in the Qing Dynasty."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "You're right, but the most urgent thing now is how to resolve this war."

Han Mingguang said, "What's your opinion?"

Lin Yuan said: "I don't think my judgment is wrong. The British just want to destroy the Beiyang Fleet, and then get colonies and compensation on the negotiating table. If we can let the British withdraw without a fight, then the Qing government may Cut less land and pay less money."

Han Mingguang asked: "Do you have a solution? We'd better not reveal our identities, so as not to cause trouble to Ryukyu."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "I've already thought about it, we can make the British suffer a big loss without letting the British know who did it." After finishing speaking, Lin Yuan couldn't help frowning.

Han Mingguang asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Lin Yuan said: "One thing suddenly occurred to me. I am afraid that our opponents, including Russia, may attack Northeast China from land."

At this moment, someone reported: "General Deng Shichang wants to see Lin Yuan."

Lin Yuan quickly said, "Please." Before he finished speaking, he saw Deng Shichang walking in.

Deng Shichang looked sad, and asked Lin Yuan: "Captain Lin, didn't you say that we have a way to attack the British fleet?"

Of course Lin Yuan knew what Deng Shichang meant, he was blaming himself, why didn't he save the Beiyang Fleet!

Deng Shichang added: "Captain Lin, all the subordinates say that the British are too arrogant, we can't just sit idly by."

At this time, everyone in the command room put down their work and looked at Lin Yuan expectantly. Lin Yuan said, "Master Deng, we naturally have a way to attack the British fleet. We will use your warship. The time is now." Night."

The reason why Lin Yuan did not use the carrier-based aircraft on the Beijing ship was mainly because he considered that there was no need to use precious flight hours and weapons to attack the British fleet. He had a better way. In the subsequent meeting, Lin Yuan told Deng Shichang own way.

The night came soon, and Deng Shichang had already changed the name of the Yoshino ship to "Jingzhong". At this time, he led his men and drove the Jingzhong ship slowly approaching the British fleet.

Even under the cover of night, the ocean was restless, the wind rolled up the waves and made loud noises. After a great battle, the British fleet did not continue sailing, but chose to drop anchor for repairs.

Due to the lack of night vision equipment in this era, fleet combat at night is unimaginable, because it is difficult to find distant targets in the dark night.

This gave the Beijing ship and the Jingzhong ship an excellent opportunity. After all, the Beijing ship has the most advanced night vision equipment. Under such conditions, night is no different from the day for the Beijing ship. The position of the British fleet was locked and the position was transmitted to the loyal ship in real time.

The loyal ship maintained a low speed, so that the noise generated could be as small as possible, so that the loyal ship could not be detected. When it was 3000 meters away from the armored cruiser Brutal, the outermost part of the British fleet, the loyal ship turned on its large infrared night vision device.

This infrared night vision device is powered by a large battery. The eyepiece on the night vision device focuses the light on the image intensifier. Inside the intensifier, photons hit the photocathode and convert their own energy into electrons. The electrons are in the electrostatic area It is accelerated and then hits a screen. The phosphor on the screen glows under the impact of electrons, forming an image that can be seen by the human eye.

Deng Shichang looked at the display screen curiously. The green screen showed the outline of the brutal ship, and a white line appeared on the green screen from time to time. At this time, the natural astigmatism of the phosphorus-coated screen made Deng Shichang have a greater concern for the Beijing ship. curious.

The night vision device is integrated with a laser rangefinder. A laser beam is emitted from the rangefinder and reflected back on the brutal ship. The receiving device senses the reflected light and quickly measures the exact distance. This measurement method is far more accurate Higher precision than general optical range finder.

When approaching 1000 meters, Deng Shichang ordered to fire.

The Yoshino ship is a relatively excellent cruiser in the world. It is equipped with four 4mm rapid-fire guns, two of which are installed on the deck of the fore and poop building, and the other two are installed on the side ear towers, so-called ear towers. Also known as the side turret, it means that the artillery is protruded from the side of the side, just like a human ear, hence the name.

In this way, the bow direction of the Yoshino ship can obtain the firepower of three 150mm caliber artillery, and these three artillery are aimed at the brutal ship and fired together.

During the battle during the daytime, the savage ship was hit by the ram of the super brave ship below the waterline to make a big opening, which is now barely blocked. The exhausted crew members are resting, and suddenly three high-explosive grenades exploded on the deck , The people who woke up from the dream were at a loss.

They didn't expect to be attacked at all. Even in the daytime, it was not easy to find a fleet, let alone at night, and the Beiyang fleet had been wiped out. Who would attack them?

Therefore, the crew of the brutal ship thought that there was an accident with the shells on the ship, and they didn't take it seriously at first, but then, dense shells fell on the ship.
