Chapter 173, 93 torpedoes

The second round of shells was loaded into the barrel of the gun along the automatic ammunition loser, and the nine barrels fired another salvo, and the shells flew towards the Japanese battleship in the distance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Another round was empty, and the nearest of the 9 shells was more than 20 meters away from the destroyer that ran farthest, and the splashes of water all hit the deck, startling the Japanese troops on the expulsion, but they didn't expect the other side to hit so close in the second round.

The two rounds missed, the captain was in a hurry, and the crew was also in a hurry, it was about their graduation, so it was not in a hurry.

The overall speed of the duck slip was all raised, reaching 33 knots, and it pursued the Japanese battleship. The bow of the ship was facing the Japanese battleship, which also led to the fact that it could only use the two turrets in the front, and the turret in the back was blocked.

Chased by such a large battleship, the Japanese were also in a hurry, turned the main gun at the stern of the ship, and fired at the duck slide.

The destroyer's main gun, only 120mm, with duck-slip armor, was difficult to penetrate unless high-explosive shells were used to kill personnel on deck buildings. And the cruiser had 203mm guns, which had a certain threat to the duck slip, but a threat.

The Japanese battleships also opened fire on the ducks chasing behind, and the cannons roared, and the muzzles of the guns flashed with flames. The shells landed next to the duck slide and smashed into the water, making a lot of splashes, but the point of impact was much worse than the duck slide, after all, their battleship didn't have so many advanced gadgets.

The first duck slip, after all, was used as a training ship and a test ship at the beginning, and everything good things were loaded and tried, and various antennas and radars were inserted on the duck slip. On top of this. The Japanese warships with their hands are not comparable, and they are not the kind of gun kings.

The third round of shells was loaded into the chamber, and the two turrets in front slightly adjusted the muzzles, and then fired, and the huge recoil force made the battleship pause, and the speed of 33 knots was reduced to 28 knots, and then slowly raised.

With a screeching sound, the straddle-fired shells flew towards the Japanese battleship, this time aiming at the expulsion that was running at the front.

"Boom!"

In the third round alone, a 406mm shell slammed into the armor of the tail of the destroyer, and the huge kinetic energy made the shell easily tear through its armor. More than 100 kilograms of equivalent explosives exploded in the stern of the ship, tearing apart the stern armor in an instant, and the seawater poured into it along the crack, and the power plant was directly blown up and deformed, completely losing kinetic energy, and the expulsion gradually slowed down.

"Hit!" Seeing this, the first mate in the duck slip said excitedly.

"How?" The captain asked.

"I think it broke the oar, and now it's slowing down." The first mate said

"Then leave him alone for now, knock out the other two, and the unsunken ones can be towed back, just because our First Fleet is short of warships." The captain said excitedly. But, then again, the First Fleet seems to be just one battleship.

As soon as the destroyer's power was destroyed, the Japanese troops above panicked, they were only responsible for transporting and escorting, and they were not warships of the main fleet, they had never been on the battlefield, and it was the first time they faced this situation, although they had been training for a long time, they were still panicked.

According to their navy regulations, they would abandon the ship in such a situation and be sunk by their teammates, which is exactly what they did, jumping from the battleship and swimming to the nearest expel ship.

However, this expulsion did not have the time to catch people, if they were still idle, they could catch as many as they wanted, but at this critical juncture, they did not dare to stop at all, they still drove at high speed, and the three guns in the tail fired at the duck slip at great speed, and at the same time, they also lowered the torpedo.

After stopping one eviction, Duck Slip immediately locked the muzzle of the second eviction and waited for the reloading to be completed.

The captain of the Japanese cruiser was also frightened by the super high hit rate of the duck slippery, and only reimbursed one of their destroyers in the third round, which made him feel cold, but he hoped that the other party was just lucky and ran into it.

But the cruel truth made his face pale for a while.

The fourth round of shelling began, and the expulsion was still the repulsion, which was moving in an irregular motion to avoid the shells coming from the duck slip.

The fourth salvo missed, but it also frightened the expelled crew to the point of pale, and the point of impact of 6 shells was next to them, the nearest was less than 3 meters away from them, and the splash drenched the Japanese troops on the side of the ship. And the farthest one that fell was only more than 30 meters away, and such a bomb point scared their souls away, and if they went further, wouldn't they all hit their ships.

The captain of the destroyer, whose face was white, was anxious, but there was nothing he could do but be in a hurry. The captain of the cruiser was also in a hurry, and after the expulsion was sunk, he would be next. So he urged the gunners to hit the spot, and he didn't expect to be sunk, as long as he interfered with them, and at the same time ordered people to put all the torpedoes down, and the torpedoes used were also the famous Type 93 torpedoes (oxygen torpedoes, acid torpedoes), which claimed to be 20 years ahead of the world, but it could indeed bear this title.

The torpedo dropped from the cruiser, because the main engine was started by air, still had a clear track at the initial distance of 300~400 meters of launch, but this distance was completely negligible compared to its ultra-long range. The 93 torpedo travels at the fastest speed, the farthest can travel 22,000 meters, and the longest distance is 36 knots, and the longest distance is staggering, and it can actually run 46,000 meters, which is already more than the range of the main guns of some warships.

Moreover, the concealment of the 93 torpedo is excellent, it is difficult to be detected, and the charge has reached 490 kg, which is too much better than the 89 torpedoes launched by the other two destroyers, and it is not a level at all.

The torpedo thrown from the launch tube, the starting ignition device was pushed back by the recoil force of the seawater, and the entire power system began to work, pushing the torpedo along a fixed course.

The Type 93 torpedo is indeed very well concealed, it is all cyan, it is covered under the seawater, it is not conspicuous, and there is not much trajectory, and it is easy to be missed.

But it can only drive along a fixed route, and if the target is slightly off, it will be crooked. Although it is well concealed, it can still be spotted, after all, the top speed is only 50 knots.

When modifying the duck slip, Lu Qiang had already thought about how to find the torpedo, the easiest thing was to search through sonar, so there was a sonar detection on the duck slip, but the detection range was only 2 kilometers around, but it was enough, and the way to defend the torpedo was only through the barrage, so the Erlikon 20mm anti-aircraft guns were all replaced with rapid-fire 37mm guns, which can not only defend against torpedoes at close range, but also shoot at the air, and directly cover the barrage.
