Mines were invented by the Chinese, and as early as 1558 during the Ming Dynasty, written records appeared and were used in the military, but later this technology was improved by the Western powers, and the Chinese could only follow behind. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

A few years ago, although the Chinese Navy did not really rise, the development of naval equipment has not shrunk, and even in many army research institutes, every time a weapon and equipment is researched, the naval version will be transformed accordingly.

For example, the torpedo itself was purchased from a foreign country for dismantling and analysis, and learning its design experience, but he never thought that his torpedo had just been designed and passed the experiment, and a researcher with a big brain remembered the information he had seen in the research institute, so he modified the torpedo, adopted the design concept of the cupola, and then designed the famous rocket launcher in later generations.

However, this design is not stable at present, the attack range is short, and it will even explode in the air according to different factors, and the actual combat effect is very poor, and it needs to be further developed.

Artillery is also developed in the same way, like the anti-aircraft gun on the warship, in fact, the land anti-aircraft gun is modified, a fixed gun mount is added, and then it is welded on the warship, but considering the problem of the firing boundary, the firing angle is sealed to avoid accidentally injuring yourself.

There are countless examples like this, and it is not until now that Wang Sirui understands why before the reform and opening up, China's national strength and military strength could not compete with foreign countries, and what kind of development started late, the foundation is not good, and there is no experience, these are all nonsense, and the fundamental reason for dragging down China's development is the system at that time.

No matter what you do, you need to open a note, and the factory production needs to be tasked and indicated, otherwise you can't take orders even if you are idle. The research of scientific research institutes is also a task from above, and the funds are limited, so how can good things be researched in this case?

In the scientific research institute, Wang Sirui fully gave these researchers the maximum freedom, and according to some weapons and equipment in the later army, listed a detailed document and equipment performance requirements, etc., these researchers may not immediately play a role after seeing these documents, but one day in the future, if he finds a very similar thing, then maybe he will suddenly think of this, an unexpected decision, maybe it may bring about a revolutionary change.

Therefore, now that the Chinese Empire has caught up in armaments and has come to the forefront of the world, it depends on these scientific researchers who are not lacking in ideas, but the disadvantage of this is that it may waste a lot of research funds.

For example, this mine, the brain-opening researcher actually thought of adding the design concept of the torpedo to the torpedo, but the huge size, plus other factors, so the speed is not too fast, but it can also be guaranteed to move forward at a speed of five knots, with a maximum mileage of ten nautical miles.

Seven of the nine frigates were dispatched, and the seven frigates immediately opened up at full speed, and at a speed of thirty-two knots, they quickly rushed to the sides, and then headed for the retreat of the Japanese troops.

The purpose of dropping mines was not to sink many Japanese warships, but to use mines to disrupt the formation of the Japanese army, so that they would be forced to change their original routes, delay their arrival in the Ryukyus, and provide a longer time for the large forces pursuing in the rear, so that they could enter the battle earlier, and leave as many Japanese navy and army as many people as possible.

The army that has entered the sea is like a lamb to the slaughter, and here, no matter how long you train and how experienced you are, you cannot be an opponent of the navy. As long as the Japanese Army on these transport ships is not completely safe, the Japanese Navy will not dare to let go of its hands and feet to fight the Chinese Navy, and Sa Zhenbing officially wants to seize this opportunity to beat the Japanese Navy fiercely, just like the battle fifteen years ago, but the current situation is completely reversed from fifteen years ago.

It was the Japanese Navy that beat their troop carriers back then, and now it's the turn of the Japanese to taste it.

After an hour, watching the pursuers in the rear get closer and closer to the fleet, if the two sides still maintain this speed, the slowest hour, the two sides will enter the range of fire, and in an hour and a half, the two sides will completely break out into battle.

This time completely exceeded the expectations of the Japanese army, because they could not imagine why the speed of the Chinese fleet behind them would be so fast.

Ono Jiro stood on the mast a little nervously, the telescope in his hand kept looking at the situation in the rear, the enemy army was getting closer and closer, so that his heart couldn't help but beat faster, as a veteran of three years in the army, Ono Jiro had not participated in any battle, for this upcoming battle, but inexplicably timid.

Before that, Ono Jiro couldn't believe that he was afraid of war, and even when he was in the army, he once fantasized that one day he would be able to kill all sides on the battlefield and avenge the imperial warriors who died in battle.

'Huh? Inadvertently, Ono Jiro just looked directly in front of the fleet as usual, the sea was sparkling, and from time to time there was a glimmer of light, on the sea, it was normal to see this situation, it was a normal phenomenon of light reflowing, but on the sea not far ahead, there seemed to be a trace of something not quite right.

But what is wrong, Ono Jiro is also a little unable to say, subconsciously, Ono Jiro pointed the telescope in his hand at the place that looks different, it seems to be moving, is it an animal in the sea? How many thorns do you still have?

Ono Jiro was slightly puzzled, there were too many creatures in the sea that he had never seen, and the distance was still a little far, so Ono Jiro was not sure.

'Huh? Looks like there's black smoke ahead? Ono Jiro is another inadvertent, faintly as if he saw the sea level in the distance in front of him, there seemed to be wisps of black smoke, to be able to become a lookout, must have superhuman vision and judgment, especially for the black smoke emitted by warships, it is even more sensitive to the extreme.

Suddenly, Ono Jiro was shocked in his heart, smoke, things that moved, thorns on his body, that was ......

Ono Jiro was frightened into a cold sweat, quickly picked up the telescope, and once again aimed at the slightly white floating object floating on the sea, thinking of the things he suspected just now, the next moment, Ono Jiro instantly determined what it was.

Hurriedly took down the hammer that was hung by the rope, and slammed it at the gong, Ono Jiro shouted with fear to the Japanese naval officers and soldiers who looked puzzled below: "There are mines about two nautical miles ahead. ”

"Mines? What's so surprising about this? In their consciousness, the mine is a floating object, and it will not hit it in the daytime, unless the lookout is blind, as long as it can warn, the possibility of avoiding the impact is still very large, and the mine is generally more scary at night.

"Baga, that mine will move, he is moving towards us, quickly evade, quickly evade." Seeing that the officers and soldiers below didn't care, Ono Jiro instantly became angry.

Can anyone tell me why the mines move? Aren't mines just moving with the waves? How could he move on his own?

After Matsukawa Prodigal Son heard Ono Jiro's siren, he immediately picked up the telescope and looked in the direction indicated by Ono Jiro, and suddenly, Matsukawa Prodigal's pupils instantly contracted, which was too scary for him, right?

"Turn the rudder left, turn the rudder quickly, order the gun on the right side to prepare, kill it for me." Matsukawa Son hurriedly ordered, the mine will really fucking move on its own, but where did it come from?

After receiving the order of Matsukawa Prodigal, the helmsman quickly controlled the battleship to move to the left, but the battleship was huge, and it would take at least half a minute to turn around, and this half minute was enough for the mine to advance a few hundred meters.

But Matsukawa Prodigal had to blow up the mine, because behind him was the entire fleet, and the warships could dodge it with their great maneuverability, but the bulky transports were not necessarily the same. And once this mine has been passed, what will happen to the fleet that is moving at high speed behind? Did you bump into it? Or do you fire it and blow it up?

And the fleet has formations, once a warship is out of formation, all the formations behind will be chaotic, and if the mines are in the formation, there is no way to fire, because it will accidentally injure their own people.

"And, there's still there! Yaga, how can there be so many mines? Ono Jiro sensed that the warship was turning, so while observing the mine, he also looked around, but it didn't matter, as soon as he looked up, Ono Jiro saw no less than ten mines moving towards the fleet, although there were only three or four mines facing the fleet, but that was terrifying enough.

"Fire! Hurry up and fire! Shoot at those mines! Matsukawa Prodigal Son felt that he was about to go crazy, and it was not enough to dodge one, because his warship was at the forefront of the entire fleet, and only his warship could see those mines at this time, and under normal circumstances, they were connected through the flag, but at this time the flag was too slow, and he could only order the warship to fire to remind the warships behind to pay attention to avoidance.

'Boom! Rumble! ’

At this time, not only the lookouts and officers with telescopes saw the mines, but even the ordinary soldiers saw the mines that could move on their own, and if they hadn't given the order before, they would have opened fire to block them.

As soon as the order arrived, all the large and small secondary guns on both sides fired at the location of those mines. (To be continued.) )
