Naval Warfare for All: From Patrol Boats to Carrier Fleets

I have to admire the officers and men of these Beiyang Naval Divisions, like those Fujian Naval Divisions that were originally completely destroyed in the previous [Battle of Mawei], they all have the blood of soldiers, and on the battlefield, they never skimp on their lives and dare to fight hard.

It is true that the Guangyi is equipped with 4600mm mine tubes, but the torpedoes of this era have just been applied to naval warfare, and the early torpedoes are very slow in the water, which is about 20 knots, and the most pitted is that the range is very short, only a few hundred meters.

Even if torpedoes have been widely equipped in the naval warships of various countries, but the application in actual combat is quite inconvenient, you must withstand the naval guns of enemy warships, close to within a few hundred meters, in order to launch torpedo attacks, which is quite dangerous.

At this moment, although the Yoshino put almost all its firepower into the counterattack against the Yanhuang and Pengze, and had no time to take care of the Guangyi that was secretly approaching, but do not forget that a large number of shells fired by the Yanhuang and Pengze are constantly flying and falling around the Yoshino, and the Guangyi is so close to the Yoshino that it is easy to be accidentally injured.

But despite the danger, the officers and men on Hiroshi did not have the slightest intention of retreating, and resolutely drove the battleship closer, and in order to seek the best attack distance, they even approached the side of the Yoshino about 400 meters with shells falling from the sky.

Perhaps the heroic souls of the officers and men of the Beiyang Naval Division are guarding, and Guangyi was not hit by a shell on this journey, otherwise, the sound of the shell explosion and the fire that exploded will completely expose the Guangyi, at that time, unless all the Japanese Bon people on the Yoshino are blind, they will inevitably find the Guangyi near at hand.

If this is exposed, let alone take the opportunity to sneak up on the Yoshino, the Hiroshi 110B itself will also be violently hit by the Yoshino, and the small body of about 1,000 tons in the area of the Guangyi will soon be completely sunk by the Yoshino’s fierce artillery fire.

But on the battlefield, luck is also part of strength, in short, the operation of the Hiroyoshi was considered dangerous, and it smoothly approached the Yoshino.

To be on the safe side, the Hiro-B fired 4 torpedoes at the Yoshino, fanning into the side side of Yoshino with white waterlines.

“Boom”, “Boom”, “Boom”

None of the 4 torpedoes fired by Hiroyo missed, and all of them hit the hull of the Yoshino, causing a violent explosion.

A cloud of fireballs soared into the air, a large amount of gunsmoke filled the air, thick black fog shrouded, no one could see the damage of the Yoshino, if it were not for the fact that there were still red points of light representing the Yoshino on the radar screen of the Yanhuang, I am afraid that many people would have thought that the Yoshino was sunk in the attack just now.

“Close the distance, concentrate fire, continue shooting, beat me down water dogs.”

The Hiroyi hit a hit, directly damaging the Yoshino, although it did not sink, but the damage was not small, at least the Yoshino’s counterattack fire had temporarily stopped.

As the commander of the battle, Lütyans naturally issued the latest order as soon as possible, taking advantage of the Yoshino’s inability to counterattack, quickly approaching the past, further improving the hit rate of the ship’s guns, and if necessary, using torpedo attacks.

I don’t know if it’s the reason for the system, or the problem of translation, in short, Lütyans, a German in the original world, can still say words like “beat the falling water dog”, if you just listen to the sound, Ye Bai almost thinks that this is a compatriot of the rabbit family.

After firing 4 torpedoes at close range, the Guangyi immediately turned around and evacuated at high speed, and if it did not go, it would usher in the Yoshino’s retaliatory shelling, although the officers and men on the Guangyi dared to fight to the death, they would not choose to die in vain, and they would try to live as much as possible if they could not die.

The Yanhuang and Pengze, which were full of horsepower, cut an arc on the sea at a very fast speed, quickly narrowing the encirclement to only about 5 kilometers, although this distance can allow the main gun on the Yoshino to fully exert its power, but by 4 torpedoes hit continuously, the Yoshino has been greatly damaged, the thick black smoke on the hull and the raging fire indicate that they have temporarily lost the ability to counterattack.

“Boom”, “Boom”, “Boom”

At a distance of 5 kilometers, for the members of the artillery crews on the Yanhuang and Pengze, the hit rate was quite high, and at least half of the shells fell on the Yoshino in a salvo.

With a new round of shell explosions, the fire that had not been extinguished burned even more brilliantly, and many Japanese crew members were blown out and fell into the sea.

You can even see a heavy cannon being blown up by the terrifying shock wave after the shell exploded, falling heavily into the sea, stirring up countless seawaters.

“Pass on my order, Yanhuang and Pengze each fire two torpedoes, and completely sink this enemy ship for me.”

Hearing Lütyans’s order, Ye Bai pursed his lips, but did not say anything, he knew that Lütyans, who was born in the torpedo boat unit, was fond of torpedo attacks, although he replenished a large number of torpedoes to the two warships last time, but he could not use it like this.

Fortunately, there are only two destroyers in the fleet now, and if there are more warships under the fleet in the future, the consumption of this torpedo is quite terrifying, and now in this year, the landlord’s family has no surplus food.

What’s more, in Ye Bai’s opinion, the Yoshino has suffered a series of blows, in addition to being concentrated by 4 torpedoes, there are more shells exploding on the hull, the armor value of the battleship has been worn out very much, the remaining armor value may not need 4 torpedoes at all, just 2 is enough.

But Ye Bai did not say this, after all, these are just his own guesses, he really has some pity now, although this big navigation world is very similar to a game, but in the end it is not a game (cabe) play, and the lack of blood bars is the biggest failure.

But if you can see the blood bar or armor value of the opponent’s warship, you can make the most accurate judgment with the ability of Lütyans, use the most accurate attack method, and save ammunition.

“Boom”, “Boom”, “Boom”

The torpedoes equipped with the Yanhuang and Pengze are not comparable to the original bald torpedoes on the Guangyi, not only the range is longer, but the speed of sailing in the water is also ultra-fast, and the ultra-high speed of more than 40 knots is even more terrifying.

4 torpedoes are sailing under the surface of the sea at a super high speed of more than 40 knots, and a fire is igniting, and no crew member of the Yoshino, shrouded in a large amount of smoke, can detect these large killers under the surface, let alone carry out emergency evasion.

Therefore, without the slightest error, the 4533mm diameter torpedo directly hit the Yoshino, and in a violent explosion, the Yoshino’s heavy hull of more than 4,000 tons was blown up and separated from the sea.

Then, under the action of gravity (Ye Bai, who saw this scene, had a strange thought in his heart, that is, he didn’t know if there was gravity in this great navigation world), he fell heavily on the sea surface, because of the weight of the ship’s hull, and even the entire sea surface was dented a lot.

The Yoshino was stuck below the surface of the sea and never resurfaced, and the flagship of the First Guerrilla Group of the Japan-Ban Combined Fleet sank to the bottom of the sea with its first captain, Kawai Yuto, and more than 300 Japanese benzene naval soldiers on board.

“Well done.”

The Yoshino sank, Ye Bai suddenly couldn’t help but cheer loudly, for this famous ship in the Japanese-Ben combined fleet, Ye Bai was very impressed, almost participated in all the naval battles of the Sino-Japanese period, and later participated in the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, which was a battleship that Deng Shichang failed to sink with the idea of dying together.

However, perhaps it was too much evil and retribution, and the end of the Yoshino can be described as very dramatic, and during the Russo-Japanese War in 1904, it was stopped and sunk by the friendly ship Kasuga armored cruiser while avoiding a minefield, which can be regarded as making up for the regret in Deng Shichang’s heart.

But this time is different, the Yoshino was sunk by the Yanhuang and Pengze in the Battle of Toshima, commissioned in 1893 and sunk in 1894, which is quite short-lived, compared to the dramatic ending of the Yoshino being rammed and sunk by friendly ships in the original history, Ye Bai still hopes to sink the other party with his own hands.

“Order the Pengze to outflank and the Yanhuang to attack from the front, support friendly warships, and sink enemy warships.”

Although the successful sinking of the Yoshino was gratifying, Lütyans was not carried away by this victory, after all, before the start of the war, Ye Bai conveyed a fairly clear mission, covering the evacuation of friendly warships, repelling or defeating enemy warships, which he did not forget.

Now that only one of the three enemy ships has been sunk, and the final victory is still far away, the cautious Lütyans will not be confused at this time, and the priority now is to take advantage of the victory and pursue and defeat the two remaining warships of the enemy fleet in one fell swoop. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

Still maintaining a super high speed of 28 knots, the Yanhuang plunged headlong into the battlefield of the battle between the Jiyuan and the Qiujinzhou and the Langsu, and the Jiyuan was one enemy and two, and the firepower, armor, and speed were not as good as people, although the blood of the officers and men on the ship once contained two Japanese warships, but in the end it was still inferior in strength and fell into the downwind.

When the Yanhuang entered the battlefield, the Jiyuan had been hit by multiple shells, and the entire superstructure of the hull had already burst into flames.

And the Yanhuang came at the right time, and the three main guns fired a volley, which attracted the attention of the Akitsusu and the Nanispeed, and the two captains, Uemura Hikonosuke and Togo Heihachiro, discovered that the Yoshino did not know when it disappeared.

This is not to blame the two of them for being blind, after all, the battle with the Jiyuan just now was too intense, so that they had no time to pay attention to the situation of the Yoshino, not to mention that the battlefield was filled with thick gunsmoke, even if they had the intention to pay attention, they could not see the specific situation.
