Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Although Lin Yuan ordered the defenders of the fort closest to the coast to evacuate, he still left some observation posts, and these observation posts sent back a message at this time.

Luo Rongguang picked up the phone, and the observation sentry on the phone said: "My lord, the foreign devils are not fucking shooting cannons! This is plowing the ground, and the shells are like raindrops, one after another, without stopping. .”

Luo Rongguang quickly asked: "Is the artillery damaged? Where's the bunker?"

The scout said: "Our artillery is all underground artillery, so the enemy's shells did not hit directly, but the tops of two of our fortifications were hit by the enemy's shells, and they have been blown down. Fortunately, Shuai Lin Order us all to evacuate, otherwise the brothers will all die inside!"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan thought that he had made a good prediction, and the enemy cruisers and battleships really adopted this style of play.

Ten minutes later, the observation sentry near the river mouth sent back a message: "Report Commander Lin, the enemy fleet has entered!"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan hurried to the observation window, raised the binoculars in his hand and looked around the mouth of the river. After seeing it, he couldn't help being surprised. According to Lin Yuan's prediction, all the minesweepers would be ahead. The destroyers will all be behind, but the formation adopted by the enemy is a cross arrangement of minesweepers and destroyers.

Lin Yuan quickly adjusted his strategy and ordered the fort defenders to calculate the speed and position of the enemy destroyer!As long as the destroyer is destroyed, the minesweeper will be blocked in the river mouth and completely become a target.

Lin Yuan glanced at his watch. At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, after receiving the message that all the running positions were ready, Lin Yuan then ordered the fort to fire.

In this era, the development of minesweepers is still very backward. The towed minesweepers commonly used in modern warfare have not yet appeared, and there is no sonar mine detection device. The minesweepers at this time are actually civilian ships and warships with relatively shallow drafts. Yes, moreover, one ship can't clear mines, and every mine clearing requires the cooperation of two ships.

Since the entire Russian army posing as the British was annihilated, the Japanese-Russian allied forces in the open sea did not know the location of the mines, so just as Lin Yuan expected, they started minesweeping as soon as they entered the estuary. One group, driving to a parallel position, there is an iron cable between the two minesweeping boats, and this iron cable is the minesweeping tool.

There is a depth fixer on the iron cable, so the iron cable can be fixed at a certain depth underwater. When two ships drag this iron cable forward, the iron cable will hit the lightning cable. The material of the iron cable is generally relatively hard, and there are blades on it. Therefore, when the wire hits the wire, it may cut the wire. The mine itself has a buoyancy device, so the mine floats to the surface of the water. The minesweeper is also equipped with a small cannon. When the time comes, shoot and blow it up.

However, there is another possibility, that is, the iron cable did not cut the lightning cable, so that the iron cable would go up along the lightning cable, touch the tentacles of the mine, and then detonate the mine. The iron chain exploded.The destroyers in the middle of the Japanese army also began to target the forts on the shore. The four destroyers were all Japanese. Togo Heihachiro who sent them was very unhappy because he knew that the Chinese people now are different from before, especially when it comes to things related to the navy. , Although they don't have a navy fleet, they are more powerful than when they had a navy fleet.But Togo Heihachiro has no choice. Makarov's reason is very good: the minesweeper belongs to you, so naturally your ships should be escorted. Our ships have not cooperated with you before, and there must be problems when the time comes. Our minesweeper It's still in Vladivostok, so we can't let us go back and get it.

Dongxiang Heihachiro secretly told the captain of the destroyer and the captain of the minesweeper that if the Chinese artillery fire is too fierce, you will withdraw.

The turret was full of 280mm heavy guns. The gunners fired quickly, and a puff of smoke rose in the turret. The shell drew an elegant arc and flew towards the destroyer. A shell pierced the hull from the bridge, and the sailors There was an explosion in the lounge, and although there were not many casualties, it shocked the entire ship.

The gunners on the destroyers were all ready, and they fired without waiting for the captain's order. However, the caliber of the artillery on these destroyers was only 120 mm, and the shells were not powerful enough. Several shells landed near the gun positions, and the explosion caused almost no damage. killing.

When the two sides bombarded each other, the problem that Lin Yuan once said appeared. The setting of the artillery positions of the fort was unreasonable, so there were only ten guns that could play a role in fighting the enemy. If there were more, the Japanese destroyer would have already sank.

The minesweeper was clearing the mines amid the sound of gunfire. Since the turret was aimed at the destroyer, the minesweeper was not threatened much. At this moment, something was hung on the iron chain, and the crew on the boat cheered excitedly, and finally swept the mine up!The iron cable cut the cable, and a mine floated up. The machine gun on the boat fired immediately, blowing up the mine. The Japanese army moved forward one after another, destroying more than ten mines.The news of the Japanese army's success in destroying the mines was quickly reported to Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan was taken aback and thought, "If the attack on the destroyer went well, the minesweepers would not succeed in clearing the mines. What happened ahead?"

At this moment, Lin Yuan saw that Luo Rongguang received a call, and then his face changed drastically. Lin Yuan quickly asked, "What happened?"

Luo Rongguang was in a dilemma for a while, and said hesitantly: "No, it's nothing."

Lin Yuan said sharply: "Quickly tell me, what happened?"

Luo Rongguang reported to Lin Yuan: "Commander Lin, the front fort sent a message saying that the enemy's firepower is very fierce, and the artillery on one of the emplacements has been destroyed!" Lin Yuan thought: "How is this possible? The power of the artillery makes it impossible for this to happen.” Lin Yuan hurried out of the command post, stood on the open space, raised his binoculars and looked in the direction of the fort that was fighting, and found the problem with this look. It turned out that the Japanese destroyer used In order to adopt a strategy of concentrated firepower, the four destroyers were all attacking the same fort, which destroyed one emplacement.

At this moment, there was a loud noise from a gun emplacement, and the violent explosion lifted the roof of the emplacement into the sky. Lin Yuan knew that it must be the Japanese artillery shells that detonated the ammunition inside the emplacement.

Lin Yuan looked at the enemy destroyers again, and saw that the shells landed very evenly around the four destroyers. Lin Yuan suddenly understood that his order was to attack the destroyers first, but how to attack them was not his consideration. So the fort commander divided the artillery into four groups, and each group hit a destroyer.

Lin Yuan made a decisive decision and quickly ordered the fort defenders to concentrate their firepower and sink one destroyer first.

With an order, the commander of the fort immediately selected a destroyer and ordered the defenders of the fort to turn the muzzle. More than a dozen cannons concentrated their firepower, and the destroyer suddenly couldn't stand it anymore. In order to obtain the highest possible speed, the destroyer of this era, the defense The strength is not strong at all, the armor of these destroyers is only a thin layer, so a few shells broke through the armor and exploded inside the hull.

A shell hit the transmission cabin, where the transmission shaft and transmission gears were installed. The explosion broke the main shaft of the propeller, and the warship lost power immediately. Another bomb broke the rudder stock at the stern. The huge rudder Ye fell into the water, and without the rudder, the entire warship lost control.
