Chapter 196: The Battle of the Arabian Sea 7
(There are still two changes a day during the holidays, or one change is more than 4,000 words.) I asked for favorites, and I clicked on the recommendation. )
Luck doesn't last forever.
A Japanese 99 bomber and a 97 torpedo plane attacked almost simultaneously, and the air defense network of the Naval Resistance Force was once again leaky.
The two destroyers had already discovered the crisis of the battleship, and had already adjusted the direction of the anti-aircraft guns, and all the anti-aircraft guns facing the side of the Pacific turned their muzzles to start air defense support.
But at this moment, both destroyers actually saw bombers diving down in the air, and so many torpedo planes flying at low levels did not even see them.
The fierce fire of nearly 100 guns caused a Japanese 99 bomber to immediately disintegrate in the air, and a huge fireball hung in the air before it fell.
The Japanese torpedo plane, which was mistakenly attacked by everyone, dropped the torpedo at a distance of less than 1,000 meters. What is even more dangerous is that the torpedo and the battleship are going in opposite directions.
The speed of the torpedo is thirty-five knots, and the speed of the battleship is twenty-two knots, and the sum of the two is fifty-seven knots. A distance of one kilometer, a speed of fifty-seven knots (about thirty meters per second), that is, a collision in thirty seconds.
The personnel of the upper part of the battleship, and the personnel of the upper part of the three battleships, did not find great danger.
But the sonar crews on all three battleships heard the sound of the rapid propellers.
The generals of an army have a great influence on the fighting style of the army. Li Guang attached great importance to the fact that all warships of the Maritime Resistance Force are equipped with sonar systems. And in order to achieve the best effect of sonar, Li Guang spent a lot of energy. All the sonar rooms are in the forward bilge of the battleship, which is the quietest part of the battleship. Moreover, in order to avoid the interference of external noise, Li Guang spent a lot of brains to make a lot of soundproofing materials, decorated the walls and hatches of the sonar room, and even paved the ceiling and floor with soundproofing materials.
The sonar room has special brass sound tubes, special telephones to the bridge, and special brass sound tubes and telephones to the steering gear compartment. It is clear in the combat regulations that if an incoming torpedo is detected, the sonar man's order is higher than that of the captain.
At this moment, the sonar soldier played a role, and when the sonar soldier's rapid cry reached the servo compartment, the helmsmen immediately filled the rudder without hesitation.
The torpedo enters the water, the sonar crew accurately judges, calculates the angle, and then gives the order, and then the helmsmen start to move, in less than ten seconds. How efficient is this?
The veterans of a hundred battles are no more than this, and the sonar soldiers of the Naval Resistance Army have become a mature technical branch.
But this old battleship, with a winch servo, requires five or six helmsmen to turn together. From going straight to the right full rudder, no matter how fast it is, it takes about ten seconds. This is far inferior to the battleship Atlantic, which uses an electro-hydraulic steering gear, which can be operated by the helmsman in the helm compartment, or by the captain or first mate on the bridge, and can be played by one person, only in the event of a breakdown, several people need to turn the steering gear hard.
In the bridge, Zheng Xuechang and Li Guang both heard the sonar scream, but they didn't know where the danger was coming from.
"Torpedo, straight ahead," the sonar soldier gave the order, describing the danger. At this time, the observation posts saw a torpedo plane flying high from a short distance in front of the battleship.
The broadside observation post watched as a torpedo approached. The torpedo that was traveling at high speed rushed straight at it like a grim reaper.
The battleship was turning.
The observation post stood there helpless, shouting in his heart, "Turn, turn quickly." But in fact, in the face of such a terrible weapon of war and mass destruction, he couldn't shout.
It was too late, but it was too soon, and the observation sentry watched as the battleship's bow dodged the torpedo, but the torpedo still rushed towards his feet.
The state of the observation post at this time seems to be demented.
I saw the torpedo rub against the armor of the battleship. Then he closed his eyes and said in his heart, "It's over." ”
He was in a position less than five meters above the point where the torpedo and the battleship collided.
His eyes were closed and he missed a once-in-a-millennium spectacle. And this spectacle was clearly seen by the observers at the stern of the ship. In the waves where the battleship was separated, the torpedo touched the side of the ship several times at a very small angle, and even turned several times, until the battleship and the torpedo staggered by, and there was no explosion.
It was all too thrilling, and it was a great luck to avoid this torpedo.
As soon as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they only felt that the whole body of the battleship was shaken, and everyone in the bridge was shaken.
It turned out to be a Japanese bomber that dived down from the stern of the ship, and a bomb hit the aft deck.
Battleship air defense, relying solely on anti-aircraft artillery, was almost a dead illness and there was no solution.
Li Guang had paid enough attention to air defense, but he protected the two wings and the front, but the air defense loopholes in the stern of the ship were exposed.
For a few seconds, Li Guang only felt that there was silence around him, and the staff officers around him and Zheng Xuechang seemed to be acting in a slow-motion silent movie.
It's easy to hear the sound.
Zheng Xuechang was yelling into the microphone: "Report the loss." ”
Li Guang didn't react quickly, but his ears recovered better than Zheng Xuechang. In the microphone, it was clear that the captain of the pipe damage was answering: He is investigating and extinguishing the fire.
But Zheng Xuechang was still calling.
Li Guang knew that it was estimated that his ears had not yet recovered his hearing.
Zheng Xuechang's love for this battleship is beyond all else, and his attention to the battleship is the kind of preoccupation, concentration, and the father's love for his son.
The battleship was shot, as if it exploded in his heart, and his worries could be imagined before the results were found. Commanding the battleship to fight the Japanese army is Zheng Xuechang's lifelong belief. No, it was not his belief alone, but the belief of three generations.
In the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, his grandfather and father were both in the Beiyang Fleet of the Qing Dynasty, and his father and son served in the army. His grandfather was killed in battle, and his father survived.
Zheng Xuechang, what he wants to learn is Deng Shichang.
At that time, it was raining all over the sky, and there was enough to strengthen the army.
This is an elegy to commemorate Deng Shichang's hero, but this elegy is hung in the main hall of Zheng Xuechang's house.
Since he was a child, Zheng Xuechang has taken Deng Shichang as an example and fought against the Japanese invaders, which is Zheng Xuechang's only belief.
For the sake of this belief, he even refused to fall in love. Li Yu, the sister of Li Yun, the fallen pilot of the Naval Resistance Army, is known as a flower among nurses and has had a crush on Zheng Xuechang for a long time. Zheng Xuechang knew the friendship of beauties, but he was in no mood to love it, and threw himself on the battleship Pacific.
The results of the damage came out, and one of the secondary guns of the battleship Pacific was blown up, and all the guns were killed. A notch appeared on the stern side of the ship. In general, the damage was not significant, and it had no effect on the performance of the battleship.
In half an hour, the Japanese fighters finished dropping bombs, releasing torpedoes, and all of them returned home. Although the Pacific was hit in two places, it was not a major damage.
6:40 p.m.
Li Guang received bad news again, the Baxia was sunk. The Jairus is rescuing the soldiers who have fallen into the water.
Before he could counterattack, he lost a battleship, and the situation was really bad for Li Guang. The Japanese fighters have returned, and the Pacific has finally resisted the first round of Japanese air raids, and it is already considered luck that it can not damage the performance of the battleship. It won't be long before the Pacific will face another round of Japanese air raids, and it's hard to say whether it can resist it.
