In addition to the need to compete for strength, luck is also a very important competition item, and it is very common for the other to rise and fall, sometimes luck comes, that is, casually fire a shot, you can easily hit the enemy's ammunition depot, and you can also hit the opponent's warship again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

And sometimes the luck is too bad, just like the 509 ship intercepted the torpedo before, several defensive fires were formed before and after, and tens of thousands of bullets and shells were fired, and many of them were hit, but who knew that it was a dud? The 509 ship, which was half frightened to death, suddenly ushered in a bright light.

And just when everyone was relieved, the No. 1 main gun ushered in a big explosion of luck and took out a Japanese torpedo boat in one go.

Japan's torpedo boats have more than 600 tons, and they can drop two torpedoes at a time, but in order to ensure the hit rate, coupled with Japan's long-term lack of resources, they will not choose to drop two torpedoes at one time, because in the eyes of the Japanese, this is simply a waste, and in the usual training, the Japanese torpedoes need to be recycled, that is, the main battleship is used as a target ship, and the torpedo boat is used to launch torpedoes for attack drill training.

The capital ship can only dodge, but it doesn't matter if it is hit by a torpedo, because the torpedo is not equipped with any ammunition, and afterwards it is trying to recover the torpedo, although it cannot be fully recovered, but at least half of the chance can be guaranteed, and these reused torpedoes can also bring a lot of combat experience to the Japanese torpedo boats.

After realizing that the torpedo had lost its attack effect, the 509 ship returned to normal, and the scene just now also made the officers and men on the 509 ship mature a lot, at least, staying at their posts now, they are calmer than before.

With the cooperation of several battle positions, another torpedo that passed through their defense zone was quickly detonated.

The torpedoes of this era were not as advanced as the torpedoes of later generations, first of all, the speed of torpedoes at this time was generally not fast, a little faster could reach about 40 knots, but most of them were only about 25 knots, and this speed was enough to pursue ships.

Because of technical and other reasons, the attack range of torpedoes is also very limited, basically most torpedoes have an attack range of only about 800 to 2,000 yards, that is, less than 2,000 meters of attack range. However, the Japanese dropped the torpedo three thousand meters away, and based on the power of the previous torpedo, if there was no obstruction in the middle, the power of the torpedo should have been able to bring it close to the center of the formation, and it was unlikely that it would have penetrated the entire formation.

But even so, the Japanese torpedo still surprised everyone, which proved that the Japanese torpedo has been able to reach a range of four kilometers, which is far beyond the current world torpedo technology.

Although the torpedoes of the Chinese Empire are more advanced than the torpedoes of the Japanese, the situation of Japan and the Chinese Empire is completely different, the Chinese Empire is almost in many aspects of the development of the plug-in, scientific researchers will conduct in-depth research according to some prompts, and without prompts, they can only follow their own ideas to go wild, although it is possible to develop weapons beyond the times, but the probability is very small.

Generally speaking, the weapons research tasks of various countries are basically based on the problems discovered by the armed forces at present, and if they are proved to be defects in equipment, then the countries will put forward corresponding conditions and let the scientific research institutes research and develop weapons and equipment that meet these conditions, so as to make up for the shortcomings of the troops and improve the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Now that the approximate range of the Japanese torpedo has been determined, what is the ideal approach? It is certainly not to kill them one by one, nor to passively explode those torpedoes, but to find a way to drive those torpedo boats out of range, so that they cannot effectively launch attacks, and only in this way will the fleet not be threatened by torpedo attacks.

The destroyer formation is not capable of participating in the battle of the main battleship, so their opponent is these Japanese torpedo boats, but if they seize the opportunity, they will not give up using torpedoes to sneak attack the Japanese Combined Fleet, the torpedoes of the Chinese Empire use electric devices, which need to be charged before use, and the motor inside the torpedo is driven by electric energy, so as to provide power for the torpedo, and the speed of this fish is thirty-seven knots, subject to the quality and quantity of the battery, at the speed of thirty-seven knots, The maximum firing range of the torpedo is sixteen kilometers.

This is a fully charged case, and it takes five hours to fully charge, but in order to prevent the lack of electricity when using it, the officers and men in charge of keeping the torpedo will charge the torpedo for one hour every day for a week after receiving it, and then charge it for an hour every week.

Because of the large number of batteries, the weight of the torpedo itself is about 200 kilograms more than that of torpedoes of the same class, but because of the electric drive, coupled with the heavy itself, this fish is still a little different from the torpedoes currently on the market, that is, it can sneak up to ten meters underwater.

But that was only proved during the test, when it came to training or war, no one had ever done this, and after comprehensive consideration, the depth of stealth was set at three meters, which was almost extremely secretive, unlike the Japanese torpedo, which dragged a long wave from afar, so that people knew its trajectory in advance.

In the ammunition compartment, Sun Yi was carrying a bucket filled with a white viscous liquid with a slight condensation on it, and a spoon in the barrel.

The disadvantage of charging torpedoes is that they are afraid of water, and other places are good to say, just make a reverse irrigation device, after the torpedo starts, the water entering from the tail will be discharged, but the charging port is powerless, and they can't unload the torpedo when they charge it on weekdays, so in the end, the researchers can only use such a wonderful method, before launching the torpedo, seal the charging port with wax to prevent water from entering.

It was troublesome, as the ammunition bay was not allowed to ignite, so he had to go to the separate lounge next door to melt the candles, and then take them over to get the charging ports.

Soon, a small spoonful of wax liquid was poured into the charging port, leaving the high temperature in the barrel, and it quickly condensed in less than half a minute.

Nowadays, this semi-automatic bomb delivery device has become the favorite of imperial soldiers, whether it is a land tank or a warship on the sea, this time-saving, labor-saving, worry-free device is simply the gospel of soldiers, and this device also gives them a faster rate of fire, which can shoot more shells in a shorter time.

The number of ships in the Japanese Combined Naval Formation is twice that of the Chinese Empire, and theoretically the probability of being hit by the torpedoes will be greater, but in fact, after more than 40 torpedo boats are dispersed, the number of the main ships of the Japanese Combined Fleet is almost the same as that of the Chinese Empire, and the combat experience of the Japanese Navy is better than that of the Chinese Navy, so the hit rate of the torpedoes is actually not high, even if the torpedoes of the Chinese Empire can sneak underwater, they can maintain stealth for a long time.

"Put!"

With an order, a 533 mm torpedo was ejected from the launch tube, and then, a burst of smoke rose, and the torpedo smashed heavily on the sea, causing waves, and then the hydrology began to fluctuate slightly, and the torpedo quickly rushed towards the Japanese naval formation.

The 509 ships are also continuing to move to the outside, and their goal is to expand the defensive circle, drive the Japanese torpedo boats out of the firing range as much as possible, so that they cannot effectively launch torpedoes, and protect the safety of the formation as much as possible.

But in addition to passively expanding the defensive circle, they also need to constantly use naval guns to attack those torpedo boats. Although the distance is closer, the rate of fire of the guns is faster, and it is equipped with sighting equipment, the torpedo boat, which is only more than 600 tons, is already a very small guy among the surface ships, and it is not easy to hit them accurately.

The formation of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire is expanding its range step by step, which also brings a certain degree of operational difficulty to the Japanese Navy, the denser the enemy formation, the greater the probability of hitting the opponent, and vice versa.

Seventeen destroyers were constantly expanding the defensive circle at the outskirts of the formation, and the Japanese torpedo boats could only passively and constantly retreat, and the only thing they could do was to watch themselves being squeezed out of the attack range, unless they were desperately advancing, as much as possible before they were sunk, dropping as many torpedoes as possible, and then waiting for luck to hit one by one.

In those days, torpedoes did not have an automatic locking system, and after being set in the direction of the warship, they could only move in this direction.

But this kind of suicidal attack, the Japanese do not dare to do it now, because the war situation has not yet reached that point, and the Japanese Navy is also very clear about the role of their warships, and it is not easy to lose one and want to replenish it, and no one dares to bet that they will definitely succeed.

With the passage of time, the Japanese torpedo boat formation was gradually driven out of the circle of attack, and the torpedo boats, which were not very advantageous in speed, could only take the opportunity to attack on the periphery, of course, before that, they also had to bear the wrath of the main guns of seventeen destroyers, and the torpedo boats themselves were equipped with firepower other than torpedoes, which could not pose any threat to the enemy, which made the Japanese very annoyed.

"Torpedo!" On the Itsukushima, one of the three scenic ships, the communication soldier Yoshimura Konoha's eyes suddenly shrank violently, looked at the mine that was sneaking underwater, and shouted loudly.

'......Boom'

Yoshimura Konoha was still too late to discover, the torpedo was up to thirty-seven knots, almost a few seconds after Yoshimura Konoha saw the torpedo, it hit Itsukushima head-on, and then, the bow part of Itsukushima exploded violently, the entire battleship shook violently, and the officers and men on it were even more in a mess.

ps: It's still three watches today, I have a headache, and I'm really out of state. In addition, the number of recommended votes has fallen very much in recent days, and I am very depressed, and finally ask for recommendation votes, and also ask for subscriptions and monthly passes, and ask for assistance......
