Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

At nine o'clock in the morning on January [-]th, Makarov led the fleet and finally arrived at the predetermined sea area. Today, there is no fog in this sea area, so the visibility is excellent, but to the disappointment of the observers, they searched all over the area. No trace of the supply ship was found.

Strangely, some clothes, teapots, and wine bottles appeared on the sea from time to time. Makarov knew that these were from the supply ship, but why did the supply ship throw these things out?

Makarov imagined all kinds of possibilities, and in the end, a terrible thought popped up, that is, the supply ship encountered a storm!In this age when meteorological forecasting is underdeveloped, judging whether a storm is coming depends mostly on the experience of the crew, and the unpredictable atmospheric environment cannot be completely judged by experience alone.

After a day of searching, the fleet still found no trace of the supply ship, and more and more evidences of the sinking of the supply ship emerged from the sea. Makarov knew that the supply ship must have sunk, so he ordered: the fleet turned and sailed. to Japan.After hearing the news, the fleet was very happy. Although they didn't know that Vladivostok was under attack at this time, they also knew that Vladivostok would be attacked sooner or later. Instead of returning to Vladivostok and fighting the terrible Chinese, it is better to go to Japan Hide away and enjoy the good life.

When everyone was already looking forward to Japanese women and Japanese food, the chief of staff of the fleet quietly said to Makarov: "It's okay if we go to Japan, but our fleet is running out of coal, if we go to Japan If not, then you must sail at an economical speed, otherwise you will not be able to reach Japan."

Makarov knew what the chief of staff meant. The chief of staff asked himself to leave the slow icebreaker in the fleet and go to Japan first, but Makarov didn't agree, but said: "No, we can't leave anyone in the fleet behind." A ship, in this way, we will send a cruiser to Japan first, report our situation, and let them send a supply ship over."

Therefore, the armored cruiser Warrior left the fleet first and sailed towards Japan. The Russian fleet was almost completely operating under Lin Yuan's nose. Of course, he noticed the cruiser that he had left, and he couldn't help becoming suspicious: "What does this cruiser want to do? Why did it leave alone?"

Lin Yuan thought to no avail. At this moment, he discovered from the aerial pictures that the Russian fleet did not disperse as he expected, allowing the icebreakers to proceed alone, but continued to maintain the original formation.

Lin Yuan was startled, and thought to himself: "It seems that I missed a move, and I didn't expect that they might send cruisers to seek coal supplies!"

If the icebreaker doesn't come out alone, won't this operation not go on?Lin Yuan was concentrating on it, trying to find a way to solve it. At this time, he found that the icebreaker was at the end of the fleet, and in front of it was the armored cruiser Russian, and the mast height of the Russian ship was relatively low.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a clever idea.

The Beijing ship did not sail alone. Deng Shichang led the Jingzhong ship, and the Zhongrui ship also followed them. Lin Yuan invited Deng Shichang here. When Deng Shichang saw Lin Yuan, he said: "General Lin, didn't you always say that we will soon be here?" Will there be new warships? You have been talking about this for almost a year, why haven't our advanced warships landed yet?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "General Deng, don't you worry, you also know the difficulty of building a navy. After we develop our basic industries, I reckon that we can vigorously develop the navy when we recover all the lost ground!"

Deng Shichang nodded and asked: "You asked me to come, what's the matter?" Lin Yuan told him about the plan, Deng Shichang was so surprised that he didn't speak for a while, he looked at Lin Yuan and asked: "Is this possible? "

Lin Yuan said confidently: "Don't worry, it will definitely succeed!"

Deng Shichang said: "Okay, I'll go get ready now."

Han Mingguang was near the two of them, and he asked, "What mission did you arrange for him?" Lin Yuan said, "I want him to treat the Zhongrui ship as a Russian warship, mix it into the Russian fleet, and then Bring the icebreaker out of the fleet!"

Han Mingguang was stunned and said, "Can this work?"

Lin Yuan said: "In our era, such an incident happened during the Russo-Japanese War. A Japanese warship once got mixed into the Russian fleet and followed it for a long time. The Russian fleet did not aware."

Han Mingguang still shook his head again and again, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "You will know soon whether it will succeed or not."

That night, there was heavy fog on the sea, and the visibility dropped to 50 meters. In order to maintain the formation, the Russian fleet turned on yellow pilot lights on the bridge, and the ships behind closely followed the ones in front.

But at this time the fog was so thick that the ships behind could only see the yellow pilot lights on the ships in front, and the outline of the warships could not be seen at all. In this thick fog, the Zhongrui ship approached quietly Formation of the Russian army.

Lin Yuan looked at the dots on the radar screen, which displayed information on speed and target cross-sectional area. Among them, the Russian icebreaker with the largest radar reflection cross-sectional area was in front of the icebreaker. The Russian manship was in front of the icebreaker. Next to these two warships was Deng Shichang. Zhongrui Ship.

Lin Yuan knew that it was very dangerous for the Zhongrui ship to complete the "queue jumping", because in the Russian fleet formation, the distance between ships was about 200 meters, and after the Zhongrui ship was inserted and the ships in front and behind There is only a distance of about 100 meters. With such a distance, a collision accident will occur if there is a slight carelessness. Once a collision accident occurs, not only the plan cannot be completed, but there is also the danger of ship destruction and death.

The Zhongrui ship was steered by an experienced old helmsman, which gave Lin Yuan some comfort. Seeing the Zhongrui ship slowly entering between the two warships, he couldn't help but smiled happily: "Great, They did it!"

At this distance, the yellow pilot light can penetrate the dense fog, so the Zhongrui ship must block the pilot light of the battleship in front, and use its own pilot light to mislead the icebreaker, while the mast of the Russian ship is relatively low, so the Zhongrui The ship can completely block its lights.

But when the lights were turned on, an accident happened. Due to a communication error between the signal department and the ship control department, when the Zhongrui ship did not completely block the Russian ship, the lights turned on!This way, the icebreaker sees two lights!

The helmsman on the Russian icebreaker suddenly discovered that the front light had changed from one to two, which surprised him. He quickly called the navigator nearby and said, "Come and see, why is there an extra pilot light?" .”

The navigator looked at it, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Isn't that one? Are you delusional?"

The helmsman took a look and found that there was really only one light left this time. It turned out that the Zhongrui ship adjusted its position in time and blocked the light of the Russian ship with its hull. "

The helmsman looked at the yellow light, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong. The position of the light was slightly higher, so he told the situation to the navigator. The navigator was very knowledgeable and said with a smile: "You don't know, light Propagation in air is not linear, light refracts as the density of the air changes, so it's not surprising that you see a change in position."
