Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

The protective armor of the brutal-class armored cruiser does not cover the entire hull of the ship, but only covers the engine room, boiler room, main turret and ammunition lifting channel, and the upper deck is still made of wood. Cannonballs, the gunpowder loaded in the Japanese cannonballs has been specially improved and is extremely flammable, so the brute ship suddenly burst into flames.

Some of the sailors on the brutal ship didn’t even have time to put on their clothes. They ran out wearing only a pair of big underpants to participate in the firefighting. For a 7000-ton armored cruiser, being hit by dozens of shells is nothing at all. , Of course, these shells cannot be blown to the ammunition depot, otherwise the ammunition explosion will be a disaster for any warship. What really scares the warship is: the follow-up disasters caused by these shells, the fire is one of them.

The main body of ships in that era was usually made of wood, so fire was the number one killer for warships. When it comes to fire fighting, many people may have a group of people holding large and small buckets full of water. , The situation of pouring water on the fire, in fact, this method of extinguishing the fire is useless for the fire.The barbaric ship is equipped with a lot of water pumps, pumping sea water to the ship and spraying it on the fire source with special pipes.

Just as the sailors tore out the fire hose, a shell exploded beside them. The sailors were immediately blown to bloody flesh, and the valve was also damaged. There was a burst of water mist; many sailors picked up the fire extinguishers in the cabin and put them out. The structure of the fire extinguishers at that time was very simple. A bucket was filled with water, sodium bicarbonate was added to it, and a sulfuric acid bottle was installed on the mouth of the bucket. , Break the sulfuric acid bottle, sulfuric acid and sodium bicarbonate react to produce gas, and the gas presses water out of the barrel, which can be used to extinguish the fire.

But the fire extinguishers soon became insufficient, and the captain had to order that all fire-fighting equipment be centralized in the engine room and the ammunition depot. As long as these two places were not engulfed by the fire, at least the battleship would not sink; at the same time, the captain ordered, Lift the anchor, and the whole ship retreats to get the assistance of other warships.

The entire British fleet recovered from the panic of being attacked and began to search for the direction of the shells. Deng Shichang then ordered the elite ships to run at full speed and leave the battlefield at full speed. Due to the darkness, the British fleet did not make it through. Find the loyal ship.

The water pump on the brutal ship was completely damaged, and the water in the fire extinguisher was used up. Seeing that the fire was out of control, the captain had to order to abandon the ship. At three o'clock in the morning, the ammunition depot of the brutal ship exploded, and the entire warship sink into the sea.

The commander of the British fleet couldn't believe that all this was true, he didn't know who attacked his warship, and he couldn't think of the enemy after thinking about it, so he ordered the fleet to sail to the Bohai Sea according to the original plan, approaching the heart of the Qing Dynasty --Beijing.

Lin Yuan, who stayed up all night, watched the battle nervously. An ingenious plan was formed in his mind. He wanted to let the British fleet experience the most terrifying voyage.

When Lin Yuan came to the arsenal, the custodian who had just completed the storage of weapons was dozing off on his chair. The sound of Lin Yuan’s footsteps woke him up. He forced his sleepy eyes to open and said, “Comrade Captain, there is something?"

Lin Yuan said, "It's okay, where are our chicken ribs?"

The custodian smiled and said, "In the No.16 arsenal, why, can they come in handy?" What Lin Yuan said was useless, referring to the 1558 self-propelled mines on the Beijing ship. It has a long history. As early as [-], there were records of sea mines in military books compiled by the Chinese. Sea mines are low in cost and powerful. A sea mine costing hundreds of thousands can sink a ship costing tens of millions. battleship.

Sea mines developed rapidly after World War II, from the initial anchor mines, floating mines, and sinking mines to later self-propelled mines. The Beijing ship is also equipped with 25 self-propelled mines, but in modern naval warfare, especially aircraft carriers It is difficult to use these weapons in fleet operations, because their combat range is too short. Take the mines on the Beijing ship as an example, the maximum sailing range is [-] kilometers. In the face of anti-ship missiles with a range of hundreds of kilometers, such Obviously, the weapon is not very useful, so the officers and soldiers on the Beijing ship "kindly" called it a chicken rib.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "In the future, it can change its name, just call it 'Terror Maker'."

A fighter plane rose into the blue sky and laid a self-propelled mine on the route of the British fleet. Then, the control of the mine was handed over to the Beijing ship. The mine waited for its prey like a patient tiger. Finally, the prey appeared in into its eyes.The Beijing ship immediately issued an attack command, and the mine immediately activated its rocket booster and rushed towards the British fleet at a speed of 100 knots.

On the British flagship, the fleet commander had already begun to fantasize about entering Beijing. More than 30 years ago, his predecessors invaded Beijing and robbed countless treasures in the Old Summer Palace, and now it is their turn.

Suddenly, the Sovereign-class battleship Resolve behind him made a loud "boom", which shattered all his thoughts.

He hurried to the bridge and asked the observer anxiously: "What happened?"

The observer said: "Report to the commander, I saw something in the water, flew to the determination ship, and then there was a bang, I don't know what happened."

The commander frowned and roared angrily: "What are you talking about? What do you mean there is something! Can't you see what it is?"

The observer said humbly: "I don't know either. I've never seen that kind of thing. It looks like a torpedo."

The commander roared angrily: "Nonsense, there are no ships in the sea for a few nautical miles around here, who launched the torpedo!"

The observer said: "Could it be a sea monster?" Considering the biological level of that era, the observers could be forgiven for making such a guess. Japan once purchased a warship, the Meabong, in 1887. However, this warship disappeared mysteriously during its journey to Japan. Some Japanese biologists suggested that this warship was swallowed by a sea monster. This kind of theory still has a lot of market in Japan.

The commander frowned and shook his head. Compared with torpedoes, sea monsters are obviously more reliable.

At this time, the Resolution began to sink slowly. The commander knew that the explosion had caused great damage to the Resolute, and the Resolute might no longer have a complete watertight cabin.

At this time, the determination sent a signal: "We may have hit a mine!"

The commander couldn't help cursing: "Nonsense! How can anyone lay mines on the sea!"

The commander is not wrong to think this way. According to the way of laying mines, the main anchor mine of mines is to use anchor chains and anchor cables to place mines at a fixed depth. This method is obviously impossible. The water depth in this area of ​​the East China Sea reaches 1000 meters. What a length of chain Ray needs!Bottom-sinking mines sink to the bottom of the sea, and when the warship comes, they float up and sink the warship. The water depth is 1000 meters, not to mention whether the shell of the mine can withstand the water pressure of the ground. It is extremely difficult to detect the warship.

Another thing is floating mines, which is to let the mines go down the water to blow up the warships, but this is the sea!The probability that floating mines can blow up warships in the sea is simply negligible.

How could the commander of the British Fleet know that his opponent was a Chinese naval warship from the future!
