Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

The mine battalion deploys trigger mines. This kind of mine will only explode when the ship touches the shell of the mine. There are five long protrusions on the shell of the mine, as if there are five tentacles growing on the mine. , these tentacles have glass tubes inside which contain dilute sulfuric acid.

Below the glass tube is a carbon rod wrapped with a zinc ring. When the glass tube is smashed, the dilute sulfuric acid inside will flow between the carbon rod and the zinc ring, so a simple primary battery is formed, and the generated current The primer in the detonator will be detonated quickly, and the primer will then detonate the explosive.

In order to prevent the mine from breaking the glass tube during transportation and storage, a layer of lead shield is installed outside the glass tube, but this layer of shield is so thin that it can't stop the collision of the hull of hundreds of tons at all.

Lu Jin's boat hit the mine hard, the lead shield and the glass tube were smashed, the dilute sulfuric acid inside flowed out, and the explosion happened instantly. The huge pressure generated by the more than 100 kilograms of explosives in the mine pushed the water to rush towards the mine. Towards the hull, the steel plates on the surface of the hull and the supporting ribs inside the hull were blown off, and a large hole with a diameter of nearly ten meters appeared on the hull, swallowing seawater like a greedy mouth.

After the bow entered the water, the hull suddenly tilted towards the bow, and the whole hull tilted and sank towards the sea. The marines in the cabin hurried out, and Lin Yuan, who was on the shore, handed the telescope in his hand to Luo Rongguang, saying : "Look, I said that the boat is full of Russian soldiers."

Luo Rongguang couldn't help but secretly exclaimed: "Shuai Lin is Shuai Lin!"

The Marine Corps soldiers on board all understood at this time, this is not a Chinese shell, it is clearly a Chinese mine!The old sailor who was in charge of checking the positions of the mines was also stunned, thinking that there was no problem with his navigation, why did there suddenly appear more mines underwater?

The soldiers on the ship had no time to think about it, because the ship was about to sink, and if they didn't abandon the ship and flee for their lives, they would all be doomed, but the order to abandon the ship must be issued by the officer, that is to say, only Lu Jin can issue such an order. order, but they were surprised to find that Lukin was gone.

At this time, the hull of the ship was leaning even more towards the bow. I'm afraid that after a while, the hull would no longer be able to stand upright, and the soldiers put down the lifeboat on the ship regardless of whether Lu Jin gave the order or not. , scrambling to jump on it.But there were only a few lifeboats, and suddenly there were more wolves and less meat. In order to compete for the position on the boat, some people even fought violently, and some people shot.

At this time, the hull of the ship has been tilted to the bow by more than ten degrees, and it almost fell straight into the water. Those who were not on the boat didn't care much, and jumped into the water. It was winter at this time, and here in previous years It will freeze. This year's climate is relatively warm, so there is no ice. Even so, the water temperature is low enough, only about zero degrees. At this temperature, people can survive in the water for four to five minutes.

The Russian soldiers were all veterans, of course they knew this, but they did not give up hope, because other ships were not far away from them, as long as they sent out small boats, they could be rescued, but their hope soon faded away. It was shattered because other ships were also hit by mines.

Accompanied by bursts of explosions, five of the fifteen ships in the fleet were hit by mines, and the entire fleet was waiting for Commander Lu Jin to issue an order, but Lu Jin was still missing.

It turned out that when the explosion happened, Lu Jin was standing in the wheelhouse of the bow. The huge vibration generated by the explosion directly lifted him up, flew from the wheelhouse to the deck, and fell heavily near the anchor stop. The bow of the ship just blew up the chain locker, and the anchor weighing hundreds of tons fell to the bottom of the sea.The function of the anchor stopper is to prevent the anchor from falling, but unfortunately, the violent explosion broke the bolt connecting the anchor stopper and the hull, and the anchor chain directly pulled the anchor stopper and moved on the deck. , the heavy anchor hit just above Lu Jin's head, and Lu Jin sank to the bottom of the sea with his smashed head.But the people in the fleet didn't know that Lukin was dead. They were still waiting for Lukin's order, so the fleet continued to walk into the river. There is basically no possibility of surviving the ship, and what awaits them is only sinking.

When all the nine ships in the fleet were hit by mines, the ships in the fleet that were not hit by mines began to be afraid, and they turned their bows and ran back regardless of whether there was an order, but they were already in the minefield. When turning the bow, it hit a mine again. In less than an hour, all fifteen troop carriers hit the mine and sank.

Lin Yuan, who was in the fort on the shore, said to Luo Rongguang when he saw the first ship struck by mines: "Hurry up and send some small boats to rescue the Russian soldiers who fell into the water."

Luo Rongguang said: "Shuai Lin, my subordinates know that you are kind-hearted and can be called a Confucian general, but these Russians deserve to die, why should you save them?"

Lin Yuan said: "It's useful for me to keep them, you guys go quickly, people die quickly in the low temperature water, if you don't go, it will be too late."

Although Luo Rongguang didn't understand what Lin Yuan meant, he still sent three small boats to the vicinity of the Russian fleet. These small boats were powered by oars and had many oars. Called the "hundred-oared centipede boat", these three small boats rushed to them when all the Russian troop carriers sank. The Qing soldiers in the small boats threw ropes into the water, trying to pull the Russian soldiers up.

The marines in the river were carefully selected by the Russian army, and they were all elites like the Iron Blood Corps. But at this time, they were soaking in the zero-degree river water, and the heat in their bodies was constantly losing, and their body temperature had dropped to [-] degrees. Next, at this time, people's advanced thinking activities have basically stopped, leaving only basic consciousness and survival instincts, so they all hold on tightly to the rope.

The soldiers of the Qing army pulled them up and put them into the warm cabin. It took them a long time to recover. When they reached the shore, the soldiers of the Qing army came to report to Lin Yuan: "Report to Commander Lin, 68 people were rescued. , 32 of them failed to carry them and died on the boat.”

Lin Yuan said: "Very well, take good care of those who are alive, they are still of great use."

The Japanese-Russian allied forces outside the estuary were surprised to see all [-] troop carriers hit by mines and sank. Makarov, the commander of the Russian fleet, hurriedly called a meeting, and the commander of the Japanese fleet, Togo Heihachiro, was also among them.

Makarov first asked: "Our fleet has all sunk, what is the problem?"

The chief of staff of the fleet said: "I think there is a problem with their navigation, and they sailed into a minefield."

The navigation veterans on the troop carrier were all sent by the navigation department of the fleet. When the chief of staff said this, he put all the responsibility on the navigation department. Of course, the navigator was not happy. The navigator said angrily: "I think it's your intelligence. There is a problem, and our navigation veterans all have more than ten years of experience, how could they go wrong!"

The chief of staff said: "Our intelligence is sent by our allies. They have been collecting intelligence in China for many years, and they can't make mistakes!"

Togo Heihachiro saw that someone put the blame on himself, so he said: "Now is not the time for us to discuss sharing responsibility!"
