The ultimate battleship Guanghua the Great, equipped with the Vulcan Phalanx close defense system, was intact in the face of wolf attacks from German submarines, and withstood the strongest wave of torpedo attacks with its great strength. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info╔╗

At this time, the more than 70 submarines of the German submarine force, in addition to the more than 20 submarines that had been circling with the anti-submarine warfare ships of the Chinese Emperor, the more than 30 submarines that broke into the vicinity of the battleship Guanghua Emperor had already lost seven of them, but they could not damage the Guanghua Emperor in the slightest.

The fact that they had been trying to lurk for so long and failing to achieve the desired combat results made the German commanders very angry and angry.

"The torpedo was intercepted! The enemy's guns are aimed at us! ”

Due to the backwardness of German submarine tactics, the torpedoes fired left very obvious wake traces on the sea, and this hole was quickly locked by the close defense guns on the battleship Guanghua the Great.

After destroying the incoming torpedoes, the operators quickly carried out anti-tracking battles against the German submarines based on the wake traces of the incoming torpedoes. The Vulcan Phalanx adjusted its firing elements, aiming at the possible lurking positions of the German submarines and firing fiercely. ╔╗

In an instant, countless shells rained down, making it impossible for German submarines to dodge. The shells penetrated the surface of the sea and pierced the shells of German submarines.

The high-pressure sea water went down the hole in the shell of the penetrated submarine to the interior of the submarine, and the violence was like a bursting faucet.

Due to the hundreds of shells fired by the Vulcan Phalanx system in an instant, the German submarine was instantly beaten into a hornet's nest. German sailors blocked the hole on this side. But it couldn't plug the hole on the other side, and the sea water kept gushing in.

"Urgently float! Abandon ship! Destroy logbooks and codebooks! ”

Most of the German submarines that were hit chose to float, but there were also many German submarine commanders who were die-hard Nazi loyalists and would rather die than be taken prisoner.

The UA531 submarine is one of them.

"Prepare for a torpedo attack!"

"The launch depth is covered by enemy ship fire!"

"Bastard! Tell me how I can get these damn torpedoes out? ”

Major Hawke, the captain of the UA531, was a die-hard Nazi loyalist, and he insisted on continuing the torpedo attack on the battleship Guanghua Emperor, but due to the backward submarine equipment, it was difficult to lock on to the exact location of the battleship Guanghua the Great without a periscope. ╔╗ Coupled with the escort of many cruisers and destroyers around the Guanghua Emperor, it increases the difficulty of locking the submarine.

"Float up to periscope depth!"

"Sir! Our heads are full of cannonballs, and at this time the float will be beaten into a hornet's nest! ”

"Float to periscope depth! Don't make me say it a third time! ”

Hawke pulled out his gun, and the operator rushed to carry out the order.

The UA531 submarine quickly floated to the surface. Perhaps because there were too many German submarines underwater, the close defense guns on the Chinese Emperor ** battleship were too busy, and its fire control system failed to interact with the battleship's sonar detection system or update information in time, so that many Vulcan phalanx failed to cover the waters above the UA531 submarine in time. ╔╗ The UA531 submarine miraculously and safely floated to a position about ten meters above the water.

Raising the periscope, Hawke found what he was looking for. The battleship Guanghua the Great in order to avoid artillery strikes from the Hines fleet and incoming torpedoes on the port side. At this point, it is turning to starboard. And the distance is precisely within the torpedo attack range of the UA531 submarine.

Hawke was thrilled because he had the best chance to attack, and if he could sink the Glorious Emperor, the ultimate nuclear-powered battleship, he would surely make a name for himself all over the world.

Hawke's crew was also stunned by Hawke's shit luck, which was unusually strong.

"What are you doing? Get ready to attack! ”

Hawke shouted, and all the crew members suddenly woke up and took their places. Nervous and excited movements.

"The target is at a distance of about 850 meters and has a course of 030. ╔╗Speed about 33 knots! ”

The first mate of fire control skillfully reported the target parameters, except for a three-second pause when reporting speed. Apparently he was shocked by the speed of the battleship Guanghua the Great, unbelievable to be exact.

"Hell, it's so fast?"

All the bridge crews, including Hawke, looked incredulous. In their eyes, a 100,000-ton ultimate battleship can have a speed of 29 knots, and they really can't believe what kind of power can drive a mountain-like behemoth to sail at a speed of 33 knots.

Is this what is called nuclear power?

The German officers and soldiers, who had never seen it before, but had heard of it, could only explain the doubts in their minds in this way.

While Hawke and others were jealous of the ultra-high speed of the battleship Guanghua the Great, the fire control staff had already calculated the ballistic parameters.

"Torpedo attack! Four rounds in parallel! The advance correction distance is 920 meters, the attack direction is 110, and the fixed depth is 5 meters! ”

"Torpedo launch!"

Hawke couldn't wait, and immediately gave the order to attack. ╔╗

"Fire torpedoes No. 1 to No. 4!"

As the German torpedo helmsman pressed the attack button, four black-headed torpedoes were fired from the torpedo tubes in the bow of the UA531 submarine one after another, and they rushed towards the battleship Guanghua the Great.

"Torpedo found! On the port side! Quantities 1-2-3-4, a total of 4 pieces! ”

The sonar room of the battleship Guanghua Emperor was strong, and the sonar crew immediately reported loudly to the bridge command room after discovering the incoming torpedo.

"Torpedo 50 knots approaching!"

"Expected to hit in 38 seconds!"

“37！”

“36！”

The situation was urgent, and the bridge commander made a decisive judgment and reacted in a matter of seconds.

"Port side A6, A7 close defense guns quickly intercepted!"

The order was given, and the fire control operator quickly revised the coordinates of the attack. The two Vulcan dense arrays A6 and A7 on the port side of the Guanghua Emperor quickly rotated, and under the automatic operation of the fire control system, they opened fierce fire on the target sea area.

"Doodoo ......"

With the characteristic firing sound of the Vulcan Phalanx, thousands of shells rained down on the target sea area in the blink of an eye. The powerful fire coverage was immediately responded, and two German torpedoes were hit and detonated one after the other.

"Boom! Boom! ”

Two loud bangs set off two huge columns of water hundreds of meters high, symbolizing the near-perfect defense capability of the Vulcan Phalanx system.

However, just when the officers and soldiers on the Guanghua Emperor breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the crisis would soon pass. Suddenly, something unexpected happened.

At the last moment, the A6 and A7 Vulcan Phalanx systems ran out of ammunition one after another. The high-speed rotating muzzle quickly stopped, and white smoke billed from the seven-barreled Gatling-style muzzle.

Since the rate of fire of the Vulcan Phalanx system is as high as 5000~6000 rounds per minute, its ammunition consumption is naturally amazing. And for the battleship Guanghua the Great, her main battle weapon is not an anti-aircraft and anti-submarine weapon like the Vulcan Phalanx, but a huge 20-inch main gun. Based on the factors that would reduce the overall structural safety strength of the battleship, such as the excessive installation of the Vulcan Phalanx system, the installation of an independent ammunition supply system and an independent ammunition depot, the Imperial Chinese Navy reduced the one-time ammunition supply base of the Vulcan Phalanx system on the Guanghua Emperor. That is, each Vulcan Phalanx is loaded with 30,000 rounds at a time, and after it is exhausted, it needs to be manually reloaded.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with making such considerations. After all, the combat functions of battleships are different from those of air defense heavy cruisers, and the Vulcan phalanx system on the Chinese Aegis air defense heavy cruisers cannot be completely copied to battleships.

But at this time, the ammunition of the two Vulcan Phalanx arrays, which happened to catch up with A6 and A7, ran out. Everyone was dumbfounded.

"And two torpedoes!"

"Right full rudder! Reversing at full speed! ”

The bridge commander almost shouted. But no matter how fast the operation of the deputy is in charge, the Guanghua Emperor, a behemoth of more than 100,000 tons that is advancing at a speed of more than 30 knots, will not stop instantly.

Reversing takes time!

Everyone on board the Guanghua Emperor understands that what they lack now is time! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
