Battle of the Third Reich

Yi 60 is an ocean-going submarine with a 10,000-nautical-mile range and corresponding self-sustaining ability. This is due to her huge tonnage volume. The underwater displacement has reached 2,300 tons, almost double the u106, but the length is only The other party made 25 meters more. However, the navigation performance of the Iraqi 60, whether it is the range speed or the diving depth, is not as good as a German cousin who is a few laps smaller than her.

In the final analysis, Japan's technology accumulation is insufficient. Japan has not been able to fully understand the essence of German design, or the doctor Dr. Zeheer secretly left a hand with the Japanese in those years. This kind of thing may not happen, but I want to use Germany The kind of arrogance of the engineer, should not be bothered to do so.

Not to mention that Germany lost so badly in World War I, but in front of Asians, they still hold a special sense of superiority, because no matter how down, they are still proud Germans.

It is said that the Japanese submarine finally broke away from the influence of the Holland submarine, and became the only country in the world that was capable of designing and manufacturing submarines on its own. We must know that until the 21st century, submarine manufacturing is still a cutting-edge technology that only a few countries can master.

Earlier, there were only a few Holland submarines in the joint fleet, and the sailors were trained by the diving team themselves. Now that Japan has advanced domestically-made submarines, this early training model has become inapplicable.

At that time, the "Special Investigation Committee of Aircraft and Submarines" within the Japanese Navy came to the conclusion that Japan must train naval officers and soldiers capable of operating new submarines as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if a submarine is built in the future, the navy will be unavailable.

So a regular submarine crew training school was established, which was included in the Navy's agenda for the year. The next year, 1919, an organization called the Naval Submarine School Preparatory Committee was established in Wugang Zhenshoufu.

At that time, at the beginning of the Taisho era, the Japanese navy was striving to build the so-called "Eight-Six Fleet" (with eight battleships and six battle cruisers), and funds were invested in the construction of ships, so that the construction of land-based facilities was placed in a secondary position on. No matter how important the personnel training is, it is always important but the big ships and big guns on the ship platform.

As a result, the Japanese Navy’s first regular submarine crew training school, the Japanese Navy Diving School, was placed on an old warship that was close to retirement. That is one of the famous "Three View Ships" of the Japanese Navy, the protective cruiser [Itukushima].

The so-called "Three View Ships" are the three cruisers specially built by the Japanese Navy to fight against the main battleships of the Northern Navy [Zhenyuan] and [Dingyuan], equipped with a 320 that can penetrate the main armor of the two ships of Dingzhen. The millimeter cannon was actually used in the "War of the Sino-Japanese War" because the gun's rate of fire was too slow, and it was difficult to turn to aim. Except for hearing a sound to boost morale, it basically did not play any role.

In order to install the heavy artillery, the hull armor was weakened in the design. As a result, it was nicknamed "naked warrior with a sharp blade" inside the Japanese navy and became a joke of officers and soldiers. After the First Sino-Japanese War, the two ships were reclassified as second-class cruisers, and then participated in the suppression of the Boxer Rebellion and the Japanese-Russian war against Malaysia. By 1912, these two old ships were relegated to second-class coastal defense. The ship only accepted some offshore patrols and never performed any combat missions.

The ship's condition at the time of Itsukushima was the best, plus enough interior and deck space, so the Japanese Navy decided to use her waste and converted it into a submarine school floating on the water. Yan Yan was also transferred from the second-class coastal defense ship to become the Navy's "secret military ship."

This was a full three years. By 1921, at the famous "Washington Conference", countries signed the "Washington Naval Treaty" with the intention of balancing the naval strength of various countries. Under the common pressure of European and American powers, Japan was in The treaty suffered a hidden loss and was forced to stop the construction of a batch of warships.

As a result, the Navy had an extra amount of spare money, so it began to fully invest in the construction of naval land infrastructure. Wu Zhenshou made a plot on the west bank of the Naval Gunpowder Laboratory, and began to build school buildings and dormitories to serve as the residence of the new Naval Diving School.

In fact, there is another reason. The Yan Yan has been included in the list of retired warships. In order to make up the share of 4,300 tons of shipbuilding, the Japanese do not have much choice.

Since then, the Imperial Japanese Naval Diving School has taken root in Wugang and began to continuously deliver submarine commanders and operational sailors to the fleet, as well as naval special divers.

However, it is impossible to train qualified ship operators on land alone, and it is necessary to actually operate and train on real submarines, so the Japanese navy has selected excellent submarines as training diving ships in various diving teams.

Yi 60 is now such a training submarine. Although she belongs to the Sasebo Prefectural Palace, because of a complete overhaul, the ship equipment needs a period of time to run in and it is just used to undertake training tasks. Just after coming out of the navy repair shop, isn't it in the best condition?

At this time, there were a total of 98 crew members on the Yi 60, in addition to the 63 soldiers rated by the submarine itself, as well as the commander of the 28th diving squadron, Guiji Morihiro Nagasaki and the team staff Nomura Tatsuno Ryusuke, and 33 instructors and students of Naval Diving School under the command of Captain Fujimu Takeo.

Thirty-five more people than the rated number of people came out. This kind of thing is almost impossible in the German navy, but it has become a commonplace in the Japanese Imperial Navy. In order to prepare for military training, the Japanese navy company "Yueyue Huoshuimujinjin" (Japan named "Seven Observations", that is, seven planets for a week, named Sun, Moon, Fire, Water, Wood, Gold, and Earth, corresponding from Sunday By Saturday. And "Yueyue, fire, fire, wood, gold, gold, removed the soil and sun, that is, there is no Saturday and Sunday, which means there is no leave to invest in military training throughout the week.") Such slogans are shouted out, what else is there They can't do it.

Historically, during the Pacific War, Japanese submarines were mostly overloaded. In addition to some sailors ready to be replaced, there were also decentralized staff, marines, naval intelligence personnel, etc. at all levels of the command, rarely less than eight. ten people.

This is also because the space in the large ocean-going submarine cabin is large enough so that it can crowd so many people. Replaced with a German ocean-going submarine, even the toilets were used to replenish supplies, and there was room for dozens of people to squeeze in, so in history, most German submarines were only lacking editors, and there were few overstaffing.

The characteristics of the large-scale sea are that everything is large, and even the control tower is twice as large as the Germans. Because the sea conditions in the Japan Sea and the Western Pacific are complex, and large storms are often encountered, the front of the control tower of the Japanese submarine is designed as A fixed roof, glass windshield and portholes are installed, forming a semi-closed bridge structure. From this point of view, the captains of Japanese submarines are much more comfortable than those of German captains. At least they can have a shelter from the wind and rain when cruising on the sea.

However, this type of bridge also has a disadvantage. The vision is not as clear as the German open bridge, and it will increase a lot of resistance when diving, which affects the speed of the submarine's emergency diving. But again, the Japanese submarine design has fallen behind again at this time, especially these ocean-going submarines, in fact, there is no such option as a rapid dive, because of the lack of buoyancy reserves, the sinking may be faster.

"What happened? Flower room." Commander of the team Guizuo Guidao climbed the command tower.

"Oh, Commander, is a German submarine ship." Hua Fang Shao Zuo put down the binoculars and pointed to the u106 in front of the loud report.
