Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

The Fuji ship uses a double-mast and double-chimney structure. The main mast is located behind the main turret in the direction of the bow. The highest point of the main mast is the observation tower. The position below is the command tower of the Fuji ship. Clouds and mist hanging over the distant fort.

Dongxiang Heihachiro was at a loss, and he thought silently: "Why did the heavy fog rise suddenly? Could it be that the Chinese people lit fires on the mountain to cause the heavy fog?" He couldn't help but feel a shiver. Chinese culture, worship Wang Yangming, a thinker of the Ming Dynasty, and write beautiful calligraphy. He thinks he knows China very well, but recent events have made him doubt himself for the first time.

In his mind, a question has always been lingering: How did the Chinese become powerful overnight?

At this moment, the sharp sound of shells piercing the air rang in his ears, and a thought entered his mind: "The Chinese shells are coming!" Although the shells came, he did not panic at all. Because the conning tower is the most heavily protected place on a warship, especially the conning tower of the Fuji ship, the armor thickness is as high as 360 mm, which is almost three times that of the side armor.

"With the level of Chinese artillery shells, even if they hit the command tower directly, it will not cause any damage to it." Dongxiang Heihachiro thought, but the shell did not explode near the command tower, but exploded next to the mast behind. Above is the compass compartment for navigation.

Dongxiang Heihachiro was still very puzzled when he heard the dull explosion. He had never heard such an explosion before. At this moment, a bright fireball rose from the edge of the rear mast, making a deafening sound. The cabin was reduced to ashes in the violent explosion.

Immediately afterwards, the rear mast snapped and fell heavily into the sea, splashing huge waves. Thick smoke and flames appeared in the cabin at the stern. It turned out that the main body of the Fuji ship was made of steel, and the deck and armor The same is true, the wooden outfitting on the deck is relatively small, and the cloud bomb will not make them burn, but the interior of the cabin is different.

Modern ship design, especially the design of warships, will consider the fire performance of the cabin, and even build fire barriers inside the hull, formulate strict fire levels, and the daily necessities in the cabin must be made of high-temperature resistant materials, but ships of this era The ship design did not take these factors into consideration too much, and the necessities in the cabin were all flammable wood products.

Not only that, in order to prevent corrosion, these wooden daily necessities are also painted on the outside. These paints are different from the paint used for the surface coating of the ship hull. These paints have no fire resistance, so a fire ignited under the high temperature of the cloud bomb .

The other two cloud bombs also exploded on the broadside near the stern, and the oil and gas diffused into the relatively closed auxiliary turret and exploded, immediately blowing the turret away.

Dongxiang Heihachiro didn't bother to think about the question "What is this weird shell? How did the Chinese see their ship through the fog?" He hurriedly issued an order to each cabin through the ship's microphone: "Report quickly. In case of loss, the loss control department dispatched quickly."

Soon, voices from various compartments came from the microphone: "The engine room is normal", "The coal bunker is normal, and there is no damage to the hull", "The temperature of the ammunition compartment is normal, and there is no danger of explosion."Heihachiro Togo was relieved when he heard these reports. If there were no problems in these places, the warship would not be in danger of sinking.

However, there was no news from the communication cabin. Dongxiang Heihachiro couldn't care less about the communication cabin. He began to think: "Why are Chinese shells so accurate?"

Soon, three more shells flew over, and this time the Fuji ship was miserable. A cloud bomb exploded directly near the main turret at the rear.At this time, the Fuji ship was in a state of attacking the shore, so the turret was full of shells, and the high temperature detonated the shells. The main turret at the rear was lifted up, and then fell heavily.

The main turret did not fall into the sea, but hit the deck. The deck thickness of the Fuji ship is only 62 mm, and the hardness is not high. The main gun of the Fuji ship has a caliber of 260 mm, and the outer armor of the turret is 30 mm. , The entire turret weighs more than [-] tons. This weight plus the force of the fall directly smashed through the ammunition delivery compartment below, and smashed heavily into the ammunition compartment.The impact detonated the artillery shell, and the entire part above the ammunition compartment was basically blown up. Togo Heihachiro only became worried at this time. It turns out that the Chinese artillery shells are so powerful, what should the Fuji ship do?

Dongxiang Heihachiro looked at the thick fog and thought: "It is definitely impossible to fight. We can't even see the shadow of the Chinese. The current plan is to retreat. No matter how powerful the Chinese artillery is, its range is impossible." Infinity, as long as it escapes the range, the Fuji ship will be safe."

Togo Heihachiro asked anxiously: "Engine room, report the situation of the power system."

The chief engineer reported: "One main shaft was blown out and has been shut down, and there is another main shaft that can be used."

Dongxiang Heihachiro said: "Keep the original course and advance at full speed!"

According to common sense, Togo Heihachiro should give an order to turn around if he wants to escape the range, but he didn't do so because he thought that the Chinese artillery's aiming method was the same as before. Calculate the speed of the opponent's ship, and then calculate the amount of bombardment in advance. Therefore, as long as a warship is fast, it is not easy for the opponent to calculate its position in advance.

After giving an order, the broken Fuji ship immediately began to accelerate. Seeing that the acceleration performance was not bad, Togo Heihachiro felt a little relieved, but he was not happy for a long time when the shells arrived again.

Shells still exploded near the stern of the ship, a coal-fired compartment was ignited, and the ship's hull was on fire. How did Togo Heihachiro know that in front of the radar, its speed was pitifully slow.

The J-25's airborne radar adopts advanced single-pulse angle measurement technology, which ensures that the radar can quickly complete the angle measurement. With the help of high-precision radar, Yao Feng can easily grasp the advance amount when operating the artillery. Shooting, just like that, after the Fuji ship accelerated, it was hit by several shells.

Dongxiang Heihachiro was so surprised that his face turned pale, and he thought: "Why are the Chinese's shells so evil that they can't hide!" He didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to start putting out the fire, which required the use of water pumps. The water pump was damaged, so Togo Heihachiro ordered his men to send messages to the surrounding ships, asking them to help put out the fire.

Such news needs to be told to the semaphore soldier in the communication cabin, so the orderly picked up the microphone leading to the communication cabin and called for a long time, but there was no response. The orderly reported helplessly: "Commander, there is no response from the communication cabin."

It was only then that Togo Heihachiro remembered that when he reported the battle damage just now, the communication cabin did not respond. It turned out that the suffocation effect caused by the explosion killed all the people inside in an instant, so no one in the communication cabin reported to Togo Heihachiro, and that was it. , The fire burned for nearly half an hour, and the Russian military ship "Borodino" on the side came over and used high-pressure water cannons to help the Fuji ship put out the fire.
