Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

If the destroyer's automatic stability is good, then it can still be saved.

When a ship moves in the water, it is constantly affected by the force of the water flow and the wind. These forces change the direction of the ship all the time. The ability of the ship to maintain a stable course under the force of the water flow and the wind without steering is called Automatic stabilization of ships.

Therefore, whether the Japanese destroyer whose rudder stock was blown off can maintain stability in the river depends on its automatic stability. Unfortunately, automatic stability is determined by the structure and shape of the hull. The automatic stability of the destroyer was not considered well during the design, and the automatic stability of the ship was very poor, so the destroyer "drifted" in the river.

Lin Yuan saw that the destroyer had lost power and was floating on the water like a huge target, so he ordered: Concentrate the artillery fire and destroy this destroyer with all your strength!

The gunfire from the fort on the shore became more intense, and soon a big hole was blasted near the waterline on the starboard side. The ship was constantly flooded with water as it rolled, and gradually tilted to the starboard side. The captain of the destroyer quickly sent a signal to the ships behind, saying: I have lost power and need to be towed badly.

The ships behind hurriedly approached, dispatched small boats, and sent the cables to the injured destroyer. In order to successfully complete the work of tying the cables, the rescue destroyer had to slow down. This slowdown made it easier for the shore artillery to fire, so Lin Command far, destroy the rescued destroyer too!

If all goes well, these two destroyers will be buried in the belly of the fish, but at this time Lin Yuan suddenly found that the river surface seemed to be covered with a layer of white veil, and soon there was chaos between heaven and earth!It turned out that there was a heavy fog on the surface of the river!

In less than 10 minutes, the fog covered the river like a thick cover. The defenders on the forts on both sides of the river could not see the target clearly in the fog, so they had to stop. shelling.

The Japanese fleet on the river escaped from the mouth of the river through the thick fog, and the damaged destroyer also staggered away.

At this moment, Ma Zhiliang on the mountain sent a message: "Our radar can detect the position of the enemy fleet through the fog. Shall we attack them?"

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "Don't attack yet, let them out."

At around [-] o'clock in the evening, it was completely dark, and the lights in Lin Yuan's headquarters were brightly lit. Lin Yuan was not happy because he repelled the Japanese attack. On the contrary, because of the thick fog rising from the river, he still had some worry.Lin Yuan summoned Luo Rongguang and others to discuss the next move the Japanese army will take.

Luo Rongguang first said: "I think the Japanese and Russians have been scared out of their wits, and they will definitely not dare to come again."

Lin Yuan nodded and asked the staff around him, "What do you think?"

All the staff nodded, and Lin Yuan said: "The fortifications on the front of our fort are very strong. If they land and attack from the front, they will definitely pay a huge price. Therefore, I don't think they will give up the method of landing from behind and attacking from both sides. , They will definitely find a way to clear mines.”

Luo Rongguang said: "But today's battle results are very telling. Their warships are no match for our coastal defense artillery."

When Lin Yuan heard his words, his heart moved, and he thought: "The Japanese and Russian troops must also know that their small destroyers are no match for our shore artillery, so they will definitely find a way to clear mines when the shore artillery cannot attack them. , the river is full of fog tonight, isn't it just their chance?"

Lin Yuan quickly asked: "Which part of the boat we sent to rescue the Russian soldiers who fell into the water the day before yesterday?" Luo Rongguang quickly said: "It belongs to the water reconnaissance battalion."

Lin Yuan said: "Go and call their battalion commander to see me."

Luo Rongguang asked: "Shuai Lin has any orders, let us pass them on, why let him come to see you in person."

Lin Yuan said: "My order, I can't explain clearly in a few words, you hurry up and let the battalion commander come to see me." Soon a dark and thin officer came to the headquarters, and when he saw Lin Yuan lying down, he bowed , Said: "The last commander of the water reconnaissance battalion, Pan Chi, see Commander Lin."

Lin Yuan said: "Get up, let me ask you, what does your battalion's warship look like?"

Pan Chi replied: "Our warship is called 'Hundred Oars Centipede Boat', which is most suitable for sailing in the river." Lin Yuan said, "I have a mission for you. You send two ships to sail in the river. You two boats will be close together, and after traveling for a while, you will separate from each other. When you are covered by thick fog and you cannot see each other, you will stop, and then record how far you are apart at this time. Do you understand?" Pan Chi took the order, and Luo Rongguang asked suspiciously: "Shuai Lin, why did you issue such an order?"

Lin Yuan said: "Your words remind me, if my deduction is correct, the Japanese minesweepers will definitely come to the river to sweep mines through the fog!"

Luo Rongguang said in surprise: "It's a big taboo to sail a boat in the fog. The boats can't see each other clearly. Once they collide, the consequences will be unpredictable!"

Lin Yuan said: "So I asked Pan Chi to lead the two boats out to see how far we can see on the river. If the distance is not small, the Japanese minesweepers may take risks."

During the conversation, Pan Chi came back and said, "Report to Shuai Lin, we have already checked it out, and we didn't see it until we were ten feet away."

Lin Yuan thought: "One zhang is ten feet, and in the Qing Dynasty, one chi was 0.31 meters, so the visibility on the river was about 30 meters, and the Japanese minesweepers were much larger than the hundred-paddle centipede boats, and they could see at a distance of [-] meters. It will be bigger, this distance is already very safe, so the Japanese army will definitely clear mines.” Lin Yuan then said to Luo Rongguang: “I guess the Japanese army will definitely dispatch minesweepers!”

Pan Chi said: "Shuai Lin, the soldiers of our water reconnaissance battalion are willing to dispatch all to fight the Japanese minesweepers to the death."

Lin Yuan shook his head lightly, and said: "There is no need for this. In this way, I will go out first, and you wait here. If the Japanese minesweepers are dispatched, no one is allowed to go out to meet the enemy without my order. I understand. ?"

Although everyone looked puzzled, they all nodded one after another. Lin Yuan came out of the headquarters without any entourage, and came to Shenxian Mountain alone. When he walked halfway up the mountain, he heard a muffled sound in the dense fog. Lin Yuan Hearing that it was the sound of a mine exploding, he thought to himself: "It seems that the Japanese minesweepers are really dispatched."

At the top of the mountain, as soon as he walked into the bunker, he heard the "buzzing" sound of the generator. Lin Yuan asked Ma Zhiliang, "Mr. Ma, how long will our electricity last?"

Ma Zhiliang said: "According to the amount of diesel we brought up, it will be no problem to work continuously for ten days."

Lin Yuan looked into the room again, and saw a person sitting in the middle of the room. It was Li Kai, the radar operator. He turned around and said, "Captain, our radar found that four Japanese warships entered the river."

In front of Li Kai, there is a computer. Li Kai said while operating the computer: "The data bus of the radar is connected to this computer. When on the plane, the information detected by the radar is related to the flight attitude, weapon Status and engine working information are summarized on the head-up display, and now there is no head-up display, so let’s use this computer instead.”

Lin Yuan looked at the radar screen intently, and the image displayed on it surprised him.
