Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

After launching the first wave of 1 torpedoes, the launching team on the Japanese warship immediately changed to the next batch of torpedoes. The loading hand pushed the loading vehicle over, put the torpedoes into the launching tubes, adjusted the direction, and set the gyroscope. , The whole process only took about [-] minute, and then the torpedo was shot into the water again.

The No. 35 torpedo of the Japanese army can reach a maximum speed of [-] knots, and can travel [-] kilometers at a speed of [-] knots. The technical indicators are very similar to the Japanese Type [-] "Lance" torpedo in the Lin Yuan era. Far ahead.

The reason why the Japanese torpedoes have such a high speed and range is because they used oxygen-assisted combustion propulsion technology on the torpedoes. The Japanese army stored pure oxygen in the torpedoes. When the engine was working, the fuel was directly mixed with pure oxygen for combustion. So its combustion efficiency is very high.

The use of pure oxygen in torpedoes can be described as "risking the world", because pure oxygen is active in nature and has high oxidative properties, so when it circulates inside the torpedo, once it touches grease, the fuel may explode. In Japan When developing this torpedo, there were several explosion accidents due to pure oxygen, and each time the bomb destroyed people. However, in order to allow the torpedo to kill the Lin Yuan warship at a long distance, the Japanese army insisted on letting this type of torpedo enter the Army service.

Therefore, this No. [-] torpedo has a very bad reputation in the Japanese army. The launch team took a sigh of relief after they were safely fired. However, oxygen alone cannot make the torpedo swim so far, and the speed is still so high. Japan installed a gyroscope on the torpedo to ensure the stability of the torpedo, and also worked hard on the propeller, which gave this type of torpedo a very good performance.

However, there is no advanced non-contact fuze on the No. [-] torpedo. Like the magnetic and acoustic fuzes that Lin Yuan used to bomb British merchant ships in Shanghai Port before, this torpedo does not have it. This torpedo is equipped with the original ones. Trigger the fuze.

The torpedo swam towards the warship of Lin Yuan's army in the water. Because oxygen does not produce a lot of gas during combustion, there are not a lot of air bubbles in the water. It is difficult to detect visually, but the torpedo will definitely make a sound when swimming. These sounds must not escape the ears of the sonar on Lin Yuan's warship.

Soon, the sonar operators on the warships discovered several high-speed moving targets on the sonar monitors. The sonar operators immediately reported to the captains of the ships, and the captains of the ships immediately reported the matter to Yu Feng. , Yu Feng thought to himself: "Shuai Lin's guess is right, the Japanese army has made a breakthrough in torpedo technology!" So Yu Feng ordered: "All ships immediately activate the anti-torpedo system to destroy the incoming Japanese torpedoes."

At this time, the chief of staff said: "If the anti-torpedo system is used, the missile can no longer be launched, because the ship will shake when the missile is launched, which may affect the accuracy of the anti-torpedo system."

Yu Feng said without thinking, "The torpedo is the number one threat now, order the ships to hit the torpedo first, and then hit the Japanese warship!"

The chief of staff immediately went to convey the order, and the order was passed to the captains of the various warships in a short time, and the captain immediately ordered: "Rocket-assisted mines are ready!"

It turned out that Lin Yuan had foreseen that every country would use sea mines as weapons to attack their own fleets, so in order to guard against enemy torpedoes, Lin Yuan specially prepared an anti-torpedo system, rocket-assisted sea mines, which was the first step.

In Lin Yuan's era, rocket-assisted mines were an anti-torpedo method that only appeared in the 80s. This kind of mine was equipped with rocket propellers. On the route, the mines are equipped with various non-contact intelligent fuzes. As long as the enemy's torpedo enters the action area of ​​the mine fuze, the mine will be detonated, and the mine will cause serious damage to the torpedo.

The Beast-class destroyer is equipped with more than a dozen rocket-assisted torpedo launchers. These launchers are deployed on the side and have a rotating mechanism that can turn to launch in any direction. At this time, the sonar operator on the warship directs the direction of the incoming torpedo It was sent to the control room of the rocket-assisted mine, and the officer in the control room immediately set the launch direction according to the ballistic parameters of the incoming torpedo, and then pressed the launch button.

There was an explosion sound from the launching tube, and rockets flew out with mines, forming a torpedo interception in the waters fifteen kilometers away from the battleship. The Japanese army in the distance did not know that Lin Yuan's warship had this They are still waiting in the binoculars to watch the grand scene of the torpedo hitting the warship of Lin Yuan's army.

The torpedo soon came to the vicinity of the mine. The acoustic-magnetic composite fuze was installed on the mine, which could sense both the sound signal and the magnetic field signal from the outside world. Makes a lot of noise, so mines have no trouble finding them.

The processing circuit in the torpedo immediately detonated the explosives after determining that a torpedo passed by. The shock wave generated by the torpedo pushed the surrounding sea water, instantly destroying the torpedo's propeller and stabilizing rudder surface. The torpedo could not maintain a stable direction and lost power. , plunged headlong into the dark bottom of the sea.

This kind of mine does not need to contain too much explosives at all, because it does not need to destroy the mine body of the torpedo at all, it only needs to push a large amount of water around the torpedo, destroy the movement environment of the torpedo, and make the torpedo unstable, so When the mine exploded, it didn't splash too much spray, and the Japanese soldiers watching from a distance didn't even know that there was an explosion underwater.

Just when the Japanese soldiers were praying for the torpedo to hit the target, their torpedoes were almost blown up by the rocket-assisted mines of Lin Yuan's army, but there were still some mines that broke through the defense line of the mines and continued to attack the warships of Lin Yuan's army. The group sailed away, at this time Lin Yuan's fleet had almost completed its turn, but the torpedoes of the Japanese army still caught up from behind.

The sailors on board Lin Yuan didn't panic at all, because they still had a second line of defense against torpedoes - depth charges!In Lin Yuan's era, depth charges were generally used to blow up submarines, and they could also be used to counter torpedoes. Depth charges are actually bombs, but they are well sealed so that water cannot enter the body of the projectile. The fuze and the sounding instrument are connected Together, after setting the detonation depth, the depth charge will explode at the set depth.

The captain of Lin Yuan's warship found that there were still undestroyed torpedoes in the water, and immediately ordered: "Ready for depth charges! Release!"

The Beast-class destroyer has a tactical rail for deploying depth charges, which can be thrown far away from the warship. The sonar operator detected that the Japanese torpedo's submerged depth was five meters, so he notified the depth charge team to set the depth of the depth bomb's detonation. It was set at five meters, and the depth bomb exploded after falling, just in time to collide head-on with a Japanese torpedo!

Depth charge bombs are big guys with a charge of tens of kilograms, and their explosive power is much stronger than those rocket-assisted mines. If torpedoes can't stop rocket-assisted mines, how can they stop depth charges?The remaining torpedoes were quickly destroyed by depth charges, and the No. [-] torpedo, which the Japanese army placed high hopes on, was completely destroyed by the anti-torpedo system of Lin Yuan's army.
