Chapter 370: Kill them all
Hitting a target with a direct-sailing torpedo requires aiming, but the Avenger does not have any sighting device, but the distance is less than 800 meters, and the target is a big ship like the Nisshin Maru, and there is no need for even a simple sighting device, Pavlovich only needs to aim the bow of the ship at the Nisshin Maru,
Almost without any adjustment of direction, Pavlovich immediately gave the order to continue the attack.
"Right one torpedo, countdown before launch, 3, 2, 1, launch!"
"The right one is torpedo fired!"
Pavlovich counted down, and the crew responsible for firing the torpedo immediately pressed a red button, but after pressing the button, the rightmost 53-39 torpedo tube on the bow deck did not move.
"Captain, the right torpedo fire is faulty!"
The torpedo on the right failed to be launched, and the sudden change made Gao Yang's heart tighten, but after seeing that the Nissin Maru had not made any move, Pavlovich said in a deep voice unhurriedly: "The right torpedo, fire again." β
The red button was pressed again, but there was still no movement, and then the crew in charge of the launch said loudly: "The right torpedo failed to fire, confirm the launch failure!"
Pavlovich shrugged his shoulders and said loudly: "The right torpedo cancels the launch, the right second torpedo prepares." β
Grolev had been translating Pavlovich's order in a low voice, and when he learned that a torpedo had malfunctioned, Gao Yang's heart became tighter and tighter, and seeing the failure of the second launch, Gao Yang's heart suddenly moved, and he said loudly to Pavlovich: "I'm sorry, captain, can you let me launch the remaining torpedoes." I'm sorry. That's important to me. β
Pavlovich, who was disturbed by Gao Yang, looked angry. However, after Gao Yang finished speaking, Pavlovich's only hesitation was to agree to Gao Yang's request, and after waving his hand, he said in English: "You can launch it." β
Gao Yang was overjoyed, and walked in three or two steps to the front of the simple launch console.
Firing a torpedo is really something that doesn't have any technical content, but even if it's just a button press. It was enough to make Gao Yang excited.
The torpedo firing mechanism on the bow deck was connected to the cockpit, and each of the three six torpedoes had a button, and to launch the torpedo, it was only necessary to press the corresponding button.
Gao Yang stood in front of the launch pad, although it was just a random board with a few buttons, although it was only a finger job. At this time, Gao Yang's blood rushed straight to his head, and there was no way. I'm excited.
Pavlovich looked at it again, and the Nisshin Maru barely moved, so Pavlovich immediately said in English: "The second torpedo on the right, count down before launch, 3, 2, 1, launch!"
As soon as he heard the word launch, Gao Yang clicked the button of the right torpedo, and then, the front end of the right No. 2 torpedo tube opened, and with a poof, a 53-65 torpedo was launched.
The 53-65 torpedo is an active and passive homing mode of wake self-guidance and acoustic self-guidance, in other words, this fish is already a smart type of torpedo, which can run after the target and sink the target by knowing the way, even if the target does a large maneuver to avoid, it is difficult to escape the tracking of the 53-65 torpedo.
However, the 53-65 torpedo needs to be a kilometer away from the minimum attack distance before the homing seeker can be activated, and now that the Avenger is less than 800 meters away from the Nisshin Maru, the 53-65 torpedo is only used as a direct torpedo when it is launched.
The maximum speed of the 53-65 torpedo can reach 45 knots, and now the 53-65 torpedo is dragging a long white trail at the maximum speed and piercing towards the Nissin Maru.
At this time, almost no one on the Rixin Maru realized that they had been attacked, which is not surprising, you can't expect the crew of a whaling ship to immediately make judgments and analyses like the crew on a warship, not to mention that the time has only passed for a short period of three or two minutes, and the vast majority of people are still in shock and confusion about the sudden disappearance of the second Shonan Maru, at this time, they can guess that the reason is a UFO, a sea monster, and even think that the second Shonan Maru had a Shigu explosion, but no one thought that a fishing boat not far from them fired a torpedoγ
The crew on the deck of the Nissin Maru ran to starboard with a shout, shouting loudly and in confusion and mania, but no one knew exactly what to do.
The captain of the Nissin Maru gave the order to rescue, but he looked at the empty sea in the cockpit, and he didn't know who he could save if he gave the rescue order, the ship sank too fast, and there was no time for people to understand what was happening, how could anyone escape, and the second Shonan Maru was connected with the boat with people, and it was almost the same to find a deep-sea salvage ship to fish.
The captain of the Nissin Maru is a very experienced old captain, he is very familiar with the waters of the Southern Ocean, he knows that there will be a large number of whales there, and he is also familiar with all the work of processing whales on the ship, he is an excellent captain of an ocean-going fishing vessel, but he does not know how to deal with torpedoes, in fact, even if he sees a torpedo, he will not react at the first time.
He had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs run, and he benefited from the modern developed media, when the captain of Nishimaru saw the extremely fast white line on the sea, his knee-jerk reaction was that it was a torpedo, but his reason told him that in the Southern Ocean, where warships rarely come, how could there be a torpedo, how could it be a torpedo, only this time, his reason and experience misled him.
Just when the captain was still staring at getting the white line, trying his best to tell himself in his heart that it was not a torpedo, his first mate shouted hoarsely on the side: "Torpedo, that's a torpedo, turn the rudder left, go full speed!"
When the first mate was frightened and shouted at full speed, the captain of the Nisshin Maru muttered to himself, "Nani? How can this be a torpedo? How can there be a torpedo here? What are you kidding, really, there is no war going on here." How could it be a torpedo? But it really looks like it. How can this be a torpedo?"
"Torpedoes. It's really a torpedo!"
"We've been attacked, run!"
"But where are you going?"
The Nissin Maru had the largest crew on deck, and they were all on deck to deal with the whales they had hunted, and they were driving away the nearby Polar Dawn, so there were a lot of crew members on deck, and at this time, the crew members who were on the starboard side shouted torpedoes after a few crew members shouted torpedoes. All the crew members disturbed, screaming and messing up, and then they ran from the starboard side of the ship to the port side, and this was the limit of their escape.
When the first mate of the Nisshin Maru gave the order to evade the action, the torpedo was about 300 meters away from the Nisshin Maru, and if the Nisshin Maru was a small car, then it would be easy to dodge, but it was a pity. The Nissin Maru is a large ship with a displacement of 8,000 tons and is traveling at a speed of two or three knots. If this situation can still be avoided by Nisshin Maru, then the laws of physics in this world will have to be rewritten.
The captain of the Nisshin Maru only felt a sudden shock to the deck under his feet, and then fell backwards, and when he was knocked on the ground covered in blood and stared at in confusion, the only thought in his mind was: "Is it really a torpedo?"
The first mate behaved more competently than the captain, and he had already clung to the fixed chair so that he was not shaken to the ground, at which point he grabbed the radio microphone and shouted hoarsely: "We have been attacked, everyone abandon the ship, abandon the ship immediately." β
The first mate knew that the ship was about to sink, and after passing the captain and immediately giving the order to abandon the ship, the first mate immediately grabbed the radio microphone and shouted: "We have been torpedoed, the ship will sink immediately, rescue, rescue!"
Gao Yang watched as the 53-65 torpedo plunged headlong into the Nisshin Maru near the stern and exploded, first with a flash of light, then a ripple, then a column of water rising into the sky, and only after the last day did he hear a deafening explosion.
The total weight of the 53-65 torpedo is 2.1 tons, and the warhead alone weighs 400 kilograms.
The power of the torpedo is much greater than that of the anti-ship missile, because the torpedo directly attacks the part below the waterline of the ship, and the water is almost incompressible, so the power of the torpedo warhead explosion will all act directly on the hull through the water, even if it does not directly hit the hull, just a close explosion is enough to sink a large ship.
Nissin Maru was directly hit, so, there is nothing to say, it will definitely sink, but Nisshin Maru is also a big ship after all, although it was directly hit, but Nisshin Maru was not broken into two like the second Shonan Maru, although it is destined to sink, but at least it can hold out for a while longer.
A large hole was blown out of the middle of the Nisshin Maru, and the sea water quickly poured into the cabin from the large hole, and the stern of the Nisshin Maru sank rapidly, and the bow of the ship slowly began to tilt upward.
The Nissin Pill was about to sink, and at this time Pavlovich looked at Gao Yang, Gao Yang waved his hand, and said with a hideous face: "Go on, continue to attack, you can't let any of them go, you can't let a ship run away!"
At this time, Ulyanko said urgently: "Be careful not to accidentally damage the Polar Dawn, we only hit Japanese ships, and we must not accidentally damage the Polar Dawn." β
Pavlovich nodded, reached out and turned on the radio, and then, adjusted to the microphone on the common frequency, immediately heard a repetitive, rapid shout.
"This is Polar Dawn, stop attacking! What are you doing! God, what's going on! Smooth, please answer, this is Polar Dawn, what are you doing!"
Pavlovich ignored the call of the Polar Dawn, he grabbed the microphone, Ulyanko grabbed Pavlovich's hand, stopped Pavlovich's move, and then picked up something like a mobile phone from the console in front of the captain, and said sharply: "You forgot the voice changer, put this in front of your mouth before talking." β
Pavlovich shrugged his shoulders, put the voice changer in one hand in front of his mouth, grabbed the radio microphone in the other, and said loudly: "Warning, Polar Dawn, leave immediately, or you will be sunk, I repeat, Polar Dawn please leave immediately, otherwise you will be sunk immediately, give you two minutes, and in two minutes I will attack immediately."
