Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

When the Japanese fleet turned their bows, they found that the four mysterious warships had already turned their bows and sailed eastward. It turned out that after the weight of the four warships was reduced, their acceleration and turning performance were also enhanced, so the turning radius was Not a small reduction, so turned around faster than the Japanese warships.

Deng Shichang ordered the four warships to sail slowly at a speed of ten knots. Togo Heihachiro did not directly order the faster cruisers to pursue. He was worried that these four warships were just bait for the enemy, so he kept the ships in formation. The provocations were ignored.

In this way, the four warships left the sight of the Japanese fleet. During this period, the merchant fleet of the Qing Dynasty had already run at full speed and escaped far away. Togo Heihachiro had to abandon the merchant fleet.

In the next three days, Deng Shichang led the fleet to attack the Japanese fleet three times. On the fourth day, when Deng Shichang's fleet turned around and retreated eastward, Togo Heihachiro no longer endured it and led the fleet to pursue it.Worried about being ambushed, Togo Heihachiro did not let the cruiser go forward, but let them monitor the situation on the two wings behind the battleship. Slowly, the two sides approached the ocean island, where fifty missiles had been arranged. The air-launched version of the Red Arrow missile, the Red Arrow 10k.

The goal of the Japanese fleet is to catch up with the Ryukyu fleet. The purpose of the Ryukyu fleet is to lure the enemy to go deep, so neither side fired guns, and the speed is around 6000 knots. The speed of the Japanese fleet is slightly faster, and the distance between the two sides is [-] meters.

The effective range of the Red Arrow 10k is 8000 meters, so Deng Shichang turned the bow of the ship when the Japanese fleet entered its range, and made a gesture of a decisive battle against the enemy.Deng Shichang ordered to slow down and turn the rudder. These two actions were deliberately shown to Togo Heihachiro. If the naval guns were to be fired accurately, the speed of the ship should not be too fast, because the faster the speed of the ship, the greater the force of the water on the hull Now, the hull shakes more violently, so once the ship in the pursuit state slows down, it means that the decisive battle is about to begin.Seeing that the four Ryukyu warships dared to slow down to fight him decisively, Dongxiang Heihachiro thought: "Does the commander of the Ryukyu fleet understand naval warfare? Four small ships dare to confront my nine warships!"

Dongxiang Heihachiro immediately ordered the fleet to slow down, remove all the gun coverings of the artillery, and put all the crew in place, ready to go to war!

When the Japanese fleet reduced its speed to ten knots, the Ryukyu fleet had already turned around. The distance between the two sides was 4000 meters. nothing.

Regardless of the number of ships, quality or formation, the Japanese fleet has an absolute advantage. Everyone in the Japanese fleet feels that they have the chance to win. The explosion sound came from inside the cabin.

Everyone on Yashima was shocked!Shot!

At a distance of 4000 meters, no one could see whether the shells were fired from the Ryukyu warships. They instinctively believed that they were hit by the artillery of the Ryukyu fleet!

The Yashima ship quickly reported the news of being hit, and Togo Heihachiro was taken aback. The first shot hit the target at a distance of 4000 meters. What advanced technology did the Ryukyu warship use?

What the Japanese didn't know was that this was the launch of the missiles deployed on the seabed!The team that controlled the launch was on the four warships. When they saw the first missile hit the target, they launched another missile.

When the radio signal was sent to the missile, the retainer released the missile, and the sea water rushed up. In order to prevent the sea water from entering the missile body from the tail nozzle, the technicians on the Beijing ship adopted a clever design and found a carpenter in Ryukyu. A few wooden plugs were cut, and these wooden plugs were pressed against the tail nozzle under the pressure of seawater, so that the seawater would not penetrate into the missile body.

The missile was accelerated in the air tube, broke through the sealing cloth at the mouth of the tube, and flew into the sky. At this time, the cork, without the push of water pressure, automatically disengaged from the tail nozzle, and the launch control team immediately issued an ignition command.

The Red Arrow 10k is equipped with a solid fuel engine. This engine is made of propellant as a solid block and placed in the combustion chamber. In this way, the problem of liquid propellant filling and storage is eliminated, so this engine is light in weight. The structure is simple, and under its powerful thrust, the missile flew towards the Japanese fleet.

When the missile passed the Ryukyu Fleet, the control team once again aimed the laser designator at the Yashima ship. The laser sensor on the missile seeker received the reflected laser signal, constantly adjusted the flight direction, and finally hit the bow of the ship. of the hull.

The hull is equipped with 457mm composite armor, with steel on both sides and wrought iron in the middle. This kind of armor is stronger than homogeneous armor. However, on the Red Arrow 10k, there is an armor nemesis, a serial warhead.This kind of warhead is a combination of several kinds of warheads. Modern composite armor has reactive explosives installed in the middle, which can use the energy of the explosion to offset the energy of incoming missiles. Compared with the composite armor of the Yashima ship, it is simply Just like the light of fireflies competing with the bright moon!

The Red Arrow 10k is more than enough to deal with modern composite armor, let alone the armor of the Yashima ship!The first thing to detonate is the armor-piercing warhead. The metal powder cover of this warhead is an arc shape. When the explosive explodes, the powder cover will become a metal jet. The speed of this jet is extremely high, and the armor is in front of it. Like a thin sheet of paper.

After the armor was torn off, the rear high-explosive warhead entered the hull. At the position of the bow, there were no coal bunkers on both sides. The warhead directly faced the main gun magazine. The high-explosive warhead contained fifteen kilograms of black Sorkin and TNT detonated the shells in the magazine at the moment of the explosion.

Yashima is equipped with 354mm heavy guns. Needless to say, the power of the supporting shells is high. The violent explosion lifted the main gun turret high into the sky, and a large hole was opened in the bow of the ship, and a large amount of water entered. Full protection measures were taken, so they were not detonated.

A large amount of water entered the bow, and soon the hull tilted. The captain had to order to fill the watertight compartment at the stern, hoping to balance the hull.

But the first missile had already blown up the water injection control mechanism, and the Yashima ship fell headfirst. Captain Omoto looked regretfully at the direction of the Ryukyu Fleet in the distance. Such damage is not enough. As for sinking the Yashima ship, it also made it lose its combat effectiveness. Omoto knew that he ordered the semaphore soldiers to issue the semaphore "I'm injured, quit the battle", so he slowed down and left the formation, and retreated to the rear.

Togo Heihachiro saw that one of his main battleships withdrew from the battle sequence in a short period of time, and became furious, ordering the fleet to speed up and outflank the Ryukyu fleet.

Three more explosions came from behind Togo Heihachiro, and the Yashima ship was hit again. One of its funnels was blown up, and flames were everywhere on the ship. Omoto knew that he had no choice but to hang up the abandonment ship command flag.

Togo Heihachiro could only order the nearby Takasago ship to rescue and help transfer the personnel on board. At this moment, several explosions came from the Asahi ship and the Haruta ship, and the Fuji ship he was on was also hit by a bomb. A secondary gun was blown up.Togo Heihachiro's lungs were about to explode, and one of the main battleships was sunk before his side fired a single shot!But his chance for revenge has come: the Ryukyu Fleet has finally entered his range!
