Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan said: "Don't worry, the fire hasn't been completely extinguished yet, let's wait a while before going up. Also, if there are still shells inside that haven't exploded, wouldn't it be very dangerous for our people to go up?"

Wu Xinghai said: "You can tell whether the fire is completely extinguished, but how can you tell whether the shells have completely exploded?"

Lin Yuan said: "Let's ask some captured sailors." Lin Yuan walked to the deck as he spoke. The deck was full of Russian sailors shivering from the cold. Lin Yuan came to the deck The captain immediately said: "Hurry up and take them into the cabin, change them into dry clothes, investigate their positions, and bring the person with the highest official position inside to see me."

Soon a middle-aged officer was brought in front of Lin Yuan, and the soldiers beside him told Lin Yuan, "He is the gunnery chief of this warship."

Lin Yuan nodded, let the soldiers go to other things first, and then asked: "What is the name of your warship? What class is it? When was it commissioned?"

The gunnery chief replied: "We are a battleship named Narva, which was commissioned just this year and is the first ship of our type."

Lin Yuan thought: "'Narva' is a place name, where Russia and Sweden fought in the Northern War." Lin Yuan then asked: "Then why did you chase that sailboat?"

The gunnery commander replied: "I don't know why we chased that sailing ship. We all followed the captain's order to do so."

Lin Yuan continued to ask: "Didn't you have five warships at the beginning? Why are you the only ones sailing towards us, while the others turned around and left?"

The gunnery chief replied: "Because those warships are not from our Russia, but from Japan, I don't know why they left."

Lin Yuan thought to himself in surprise: "What? There's something about the Japanese?" So he asked, "How did you get together with the Japanese?"

The artillery chief replied: "Because the Petropavlovsk military port was frozen, we temporarily stationed in the North Korean port of Incheon. We often conduct joint training together. Today is one time, but halfway through the training, Suddenly a sailboat appeared, and our commander of the Japanese-Russian joint fleet ordered to chase that sailboat, that’s how it happened.”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It seems that it is difficult to solve these mysteries from them. If you want to solve these mysteries, you can only hope to board the battleship and find some valuable clues on it." So Lin Yuan asked Pao Chief of surgery: "How many ammunition depots are there on this warship? How many were detonated?"

The artillery chief replied: "There are two of them, and they were both detonated."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It seems that we can go on board." Then he thought: "No, I have to ask if the warship will sink. If it sinks, won't we be in danger?" He continued to ask : "Is the warship in danger of sinking?"

The artillery chief replied: "This type of warship adopts the armor of the iron fortress, and the ammunition depot and engine room are protected by a thick layer of steel armor, so although the ammunition depot exploded, the hull was not damaged. blown up so the warship is not in danger of sinking."

Lin Yuan asked again: "There is no danger of sinking? Then why did your captain order to abandon the ship?"

The gunnery chief said: "This is the case. When your first wave of fireballs hit us, the ammunition depot was detonated and the adjacent boiler room was also damaged. However, the warship can still Walking slowly, we wanted to escape, but another wave of shells came from behind, causing us heavy casualties, and the captain gave the order to abandon the ship."

Lin Yuan asked, "What about the captain?"

The gunnery officer said: "He committed suicide after giving the order to abandon ship!"

Lin Yuan asked the artillery chief to be taken down, and then said to Wu Xinghai: "In this case, the Marine Corps can go up, and I also want to take a closer look at the situation of this warship. The Marine Corps and I Let's go up together."

In order to be able to deal with various situations in the open sea sailing test, the mocking wind ship carried a platoon of marines. Lin Yuan led the soldiers to the small boat, and then drove the small boat to approach the burning ship. The warship, at this time, the two small boats rescued the Russian soldiers who fell into the water, and they were also watering the hull with water guns. From time to time, flames came out from below the deck. Lin Yuan thought to himself: "The Russian warship used What kind of material is it? Why hasn’t the fire extinguished for so long?”

Lin Yuan took advantage of the waiting time to look at the warship carefully, and saw that it was different from the Russian warships he had seen. He looked up the deck and saw that the mast tower had been blown down, and the chimney was blown down. It was half collapsed by the bombing, and the frame for hoisting the boat turned into charred charcoal.

Lin Yuan also saw that this battleship only had two main turrets, which were equipped with dual guns. Unfortunately, the barrels of the guns had been bent, and it was hard to see the size of the guns. On the side, there were four mounting seats for the secondary guns. , but the naval gun above has been blown away.

Lin Yuan thought: "These are the damages caused by the cloud bombs. The armor-piercing blasting bombs used in the first wave of attacks obviously hit it, but it didn't hurt it. Could it be that it didn't hit?" Thinking of these things, Lin Yuan I began to look at the superstructure on the deck and the side of the ship, and thought: "If the armor-piercing explosive shell hits, it is impossible to leave no traces, and there must be some potholes and deformations."

But Lin Yuan searched for a long time, but did not find such a trace. He thought in surprise: "Didn't our shells hit it? Impossible!" Suddenly Lin Yuan understood that the shell must hit it. It was on the other side of the warship. The port side of the warship was now facing him. If we went around to its starboard side, we might be able to find such traces.

Immediately, Lin Yuan let the Marine Corps boat sail to the starboard side. As soon as he turned around, he found that the hull on the side of the ship was covered with potholes and four huge depressions. Lin Yuan thought in his heart: "These depressions must be It was left behind by the armor-piercing projectile, but the charge was not enough, so it failed to penetrate its armor, and then the explosives in the projectile exploded outside the warship, and those potholes were caused by the shrapnel.”

Lin Yuan couldn't help worrying, thinking: "It seems that our existing armor-piercing explosive bombs can't effectively kill the enemy's warships, and the cloud bombs are not lucky to detonate the ammunition depots on the enemy warships every time. We must find a way to improve the equipment and increase the lethality!"

Lin Yuan was thinking about it when he suddenly received a notification: "The Zhongrui Ship is coming!" Lin Yuan became happy when he heard that, because the Zhongrui Ship is equipped with high-pressure water guns and high-power water pumps, and the amount of water that can be carried is two small ships. It is hundreds of times that of a boat, and if it participates in fire fighting, the efficiency is much higher.

The Zhongrui ship came quickly and started to put out the fire with the high-pressure water gun on it. It was like a water curtain was covered on the Russian warship. After ten minutes, the flames could not be seen on the warship. Lin Yuan waved his hand and said to the soldiers of the Marine Corps, "Get on board!"

The soldiers took out the springboard and built a bridge between the small boat and the warship. Lin Yuan led the soldiers and walked over to the opposite warship. Water was everywhere on the deck, and charred corpses were twisted. While soaking in the water, Lin Yuan said to the soldiers: "Leave a few people to follow me, and let the rest go hook and rope."
