Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

The reason why the Italian battleship did not explode was because the armor-piercing projectile did not hit the ammunition depot, but only penetrated the side of the waterline. The armor-piercing effect of the Chinese armor-piercing projectile is very powerful. After the entire breakdown, a large amount of sea water poured in, and the battleship sank into the sea.

In order to ensure the destruction of the Italian battleship, the four battleships fired another salvo. This time more shells fell on the Italian battleship, and the two Italian battleships sank within 2 minutes.

Wang Yongling looked at the sinking battleship in front of him, and couldn't believe his eyes. The Italian battleship's posture just now was clearly a sure chance of winning, but how could it be killed in an instant? Italians, what are they doing...

Wang Yongling was full of doubts and couldn't figure out a clue. He shook his head after thinking for a while, and laughed at himself. He must have thought too much. The Italians are notoriously poor in combat effectiveness. It seems that if they don't escape, they must be too overwhelmed.

Wang Yongling was thinking, when suddenly the radar room reported: "Commander, a large number of high-speed targets are found in the direction of the north, the number is unknown, and the speed is about [-] knots. According to the analysis of the radar reflection cross-sectional area, it should be a small boat such as a speedboat."

Wang Yongling's heart that had just been let go hung again, "How far is the high-speed target from my fleet?"

"Report to the commander, there are still [-] kilometers left. The high-speed targets are very small, so we only discovered them now."

A threat, definitely a threat!In Wang Yongling's mind, there was only one thought left. He hurriedly ordered Antonev: "Order the destroyer to attack and stop those high-speed targets." Destroyers in the Tsarist Russian era were born to hit small high-speed targets.

Antonev immediately gave the order to attack, and ten destroyers rushed towards the direction of the high-speed small target.

Soon Wang Yongling received a message from the commander of the destroyer group: "These small high-speed targets are all small boats. It seems that there are more than a hundred of them. The boats are equipped with two triple-installed torpedo tubes. They should be torpedo boats. Each small boat Above, the Italian flag was flying."

It turned out that these small boats were the reason why the Italian battleships dared to provoke the Chinese fleet, and the reason why the Italian battleships looked sure to win was exactly the same.

However, the Italian battleships still showed their criminal side. They did not expect the artillery of the Chinese battleships to be so accurate. It took less than 10 minutes before and after, and the Italian battleships sank. If God can give the commander of the Italian battleships a chance to choose again , he will definitely order his battleship to run away at full speed.

Wang Yongling heard that the warships dispatched by Italy were all torpedo boats, and there were more than 100 of them, and he immediately felt the crisis was coming.There are too many torpedo boats, and it is inevitable that a few slip through the net, break through the defense lines of destroyers, cruisers, and battleships, and attack transport ships. Each transport ship is loaded with a large number of soldiers. If it is sunk by a torpedo, the loss will be terrible. It's just too big.

What's more dangerous is that many of the army soldiers on the transport ship are Turks. If there are too many Turks killed and injured, if they are sent back to Turkey, it will easily arouse the Turks' dissatisfaction with China, and maybe there will be a major turmoil.

Wang Yongling hurriedly ordered the transport group to immediately change course and return to Tripoli, and at the same time ordered all cruisers and battleships to attack the torpedo boats with all their strength.

After Wang Yongling issued the order, all the ships acted according to the order. Wang Yongling contacted Xu Feng again, informed him of the situation, and asked him to send more raiders to help attack the Italian torpedo boats. Xu Feng immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. , immediately decided to dispatch all the raids at Tripoli Field Airport to attack the Italian torpedo boats.

When Wang Yongling gave the order, the destroyer had already exchanged fire with the torpedo boat. The destroyer was equipped with rapid-fire guns, most of which were 47mm Hotchkiss machine guns, all of which were originals from the Tsarist Russian era. Lin Yuan did not give They replace.

The sound of "bang bang bang bang" rapid-fire guns sounded, and for a while there were rising water columns and thick smoke everywhere on the sea. Some torpedo boats were hit by shells, and the Italians on them fell into the sea screaming. The torpedo launcher on the torpedo boat is obviously covered with armor, and the destroyer's shells can't penetrate it. If the destroyer's shells can penetrate it, they can detonate the torpedo and blow up the torpedo boat, it will be much easier to fight.

Even so, the shells of the destroyer are quite powerful. After a while of fighting, three torpedo boats have been damaged, their speed has dropped sharply, and they withdrew from the battle. However, there are more than 100 torpedo boats, and destroying three is a drop in the bucket.

During the melee, the torpedo boat approached the destroyer, launching torpedoes one by one. The Italian torpedoes were all equipped with sound fuzes. This technology originated from the United Kingdom. During the Australian war, the British used sound fuze torpedoes.

The torpedoes of the torpedo boats were fired so much that the destroyers gradually became overwhelmed. Soon, three destroyers were hit by torpedoes. The torpedoes used by the Italians were all heavy torpedoes, and one of them could sink a [-]-ton battleship. Kind of like, a destroyer, a small warship of two to three thousand tons, will only sink.

The three destroyers sank in a fire. Seeing that the torpedo boat was about to rush through the gap, chasing and killing the transport ship, four battleships and eight cruisers arrived.

Battleships and cruisers have small-caliber high-speed cannons that can deal with torpedo boats. These cannons fire immediately. The torpedo boat caused a lot of damage, but the torpedoes of the torpedo boat were not vegetarian, and two torpedoes sank in the blink of an eye.

Wang Yongling was on the battleship Peace. He knew that the torpedo boat must not rush over to attack the transport ship, so he desperately urged the gunners to fire. He was very anxious. Xu Feng's mopping up, why didn't he come!

Suddenly, I saw patches of flames rising from the rear of the torpedo boat group, and then, bright yellow flames rushed towards the Chinese warship!

"Missile?" Wang Yongling suddenly thought of this word, his heart trembled, but he quickly denied his thoughts. There were so many bright yellow flames that they definitely couldn't be missiles. If they were, there was no need to launch so many.

If it wasn't a missile, it must be a rocket. I thought the Italians were coming from torpedo boats, but I didn't expect there to be speedboats equipped with rockets.
