003 Angle Crumbling Blade

[Chapter Word Count:2906 Last Updated:2014-12-0121:10:35.0]

In the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, the hull of Zhiyuan was heavily damaged, and the hydraulic oil tank, transmission barrel and other mechanisms of the hydraulic steering system were all blown up, so if you want to turn the rudder, you must use the manual steering device at the stern. It stands to reason that Deng Shichang, as the captain of the ship, did not need to move the steering wheel in person, but Deng Shichang was really anxious when he saw the torpedo attacking, and personally led his subordinates to move the steering wheel.

Liu Daming glared at Lin Fei fiercely, pushed Lin Fei, threw down Lin Fei and followed Deng Shichang to the stern, Lin Fei shouted: "Lord Deng, it's useless to move the steering wheel, if you want to avoid the torpedo, you can only listen to me......" But Deng Shichang didn't hear Lin Fei's words at all, and ran straight to the stern with people.

Lin Fei looked back at the sea, only to see that the torpedo was only more than fifty meters away from the Zhiyuan ship, Lin Fei looked at the sailors who were still extinguishing the fire, rushed forward with an arrow, snatched the water gun, stunned the sailor with the water gun, and said in shock: "Gun chief, what are you doing grabbing the water gun?" ”

Lin Fei ignored the surprised eyes of the sailors, rushed to the side of the gun, aimed the water gun at the torpedo in the water, and a bright column of water rushed straight over, splashing a wave on the water surface, but the underwater torpedo was not affected at all, and continued to rush towards the Zhiyuan ship, Lin Fei's cold sweat brushed the ground, and thought to himself: "I said that the people on the Zhiyuan ship don't know how to shoot torpedoes with water guns, it turns out that the water pressure of the water guns is not enough, and the water column shot out can't reach the depth of the torpedo, so it can't interfere with the torpedo!" What if the water cannon can't hit the torpedo? ”

"Is it to help move the steering wheel? No way! Before the Zhiyuan ship could turn around, the torpedo collided! Go to the engine room and find a way to speed up the Zhiyuan ship? This one is even more unreliable! At the critical moment, Lin Fei inadvertently glanced at the water gun, and saw that there was a wheel on it, with a scale on the side, and "Level 1", "Level 2" and "Level 3" were written in English on the side of the scale, and the wheel at this time was exactly on the scale of "Level 1".

Lin Fei immediately understood that "level" represents the size of the water pressure, the fire here is smaller, and it is enough to use "level one", so the sailors use "level one", if it is changed to "level three", the water pressure should be greater, Lin Fei stretched out his hand and moved the wheel to "level three", and the moment he moved, Lin Fei only felt that a strange force suddenly came from the water gun.

Lin Fei took a step back with his right leg, formed a lunge, grabbed the water gun with both hands, and the water gun did not rush out, Lin Fei held the water gun and aimed it at the underwater torpedo, and a water column pierced straight through, this time the momentum of the water column was extremely great, stirring up white waves in a large area of sea water, and the torpedo track was suddenly submerged in the waves.

As soon as the torpedo's track disappeared, Lin Fei instantly lost his target, Lin Fei could only shoot the water column to the torpedo's course with his memory, which made his heart very bottomless, he didn't know whether the torpedo was interfered with by the water column, at this moment, Lin Fei only heard a burst of cheers from the gunner of the gun position behind him: "The torpedo has passed!" ”

Lin Fei threw down the water gun, ran to the starboard side in a few steps, grabbed the side guardrail and looked down, only to see a long white belt passing through the Zhiyuan ship and heading towards the sea in the distance. It turned out that the water column shot by Lin Fei did interfere with the torpedo, and the torpedo was pushed down by the water column, and the torpedo sank down sharply, and the response speed of the torpedo depth fixer in this era was extremely slow, and when the depth of the torpedo was sensed to increase and the depth was readjusted, the torpedo had already passed under the Zhiyuan ship.

Lin Fei just breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly saw that the sailor in front of him was weak, and the whole person was paralyzed, Lin Fei, who had been in battle for a long time, quickly understood that this sailor was shot, and the bullet directly broke his spine, and his body was not controlled by the nerves, so he was paralyzed like a puddle of mud! At this moment, the sound of "whooshing" sounded in Lin Fei's ears, and Lin Fei raised his eyes to see that the machine guns on the Yoshino ship were spewing tongues of fire, shooting shells at the Zhiyuan ship.

The Zhiyuan ship and the Yoshino ship have been very close after the voyage just now, and the Yoshino ship can already use machine guns at this time, and the Yoshino ship is equipped with 20 Hatch Chase 47 mm machine guns, which are produced in France and use the automatic principle of turning the tube, which is similar to the automatic principle of the American "Vulcan" machine gun in Lin Fei's era.

The firing range of this machine gun is as high as four thousand meters, and the Yoshino ship could have fired early, but the lethality of this machine gun shell is limited, and the killing effect at long distances is not good, plus the Yoshino ship is equipped with eight 120 mm Armstrong rapid-fire guns, and the firepower is sufficient, so the captain of the Yoshino ship, the Japanese Navy Osa Kawara Yoichi did not order his subordinates to fire the cannon at the beginning, until the Zhiyuan ship rushed to the front.

Lin Fei stretched out his hand to grab the corpse of the fallen sailor, blocked in front of him, and at the same time lowered his body and walked towards the nearest No. 4 gun position, which was equipped with a 152 mm Armstrong rapid-fire gun, with 50 mm thick steel guards on both sides of the gun, enough to block the shells of the Japanese Hatch Kais machine guns.

Lin Fei also knew that although the propellant technology in this era was low, the rate of fire of the shell was not high, and the penetration was limited, it was difficult for a corpse to block a 47 mm caliber shell, so Lin Fei's speed was very fast, but as soon as Lin Fei took a few steps, the shell smashed in front of him, as if the Japanese gunners were chasing him!

Lin Fei's heart trembled, he hurriedly lay down in place, looked around, and saw that ten meters away behind him was a gun emplacement of the Green Express Cannon, and there was also a guard plate on the gun position, Lin Fei hurriedly turned around, used the corpse as a shield, and rushed towards the gun position of the Green Fast Cannon.

At this time, the shells kept falling on the deck, Lin Fei approached the gun position of the Green Express Gun in the rain of bullets, he threw away the corpse and hid behind the guard, there was no one at this gun position, it may be that the gunner was sacrificed in the previous battle, Lin Fei glanced at the bullet slot on the side of the cannon, which was full of shells!

The Grimm fast cannon is the Gatling machine gun, called "Green" because the translation of the ancients is different from today's, the Green fast gun equipped on the Zhiyuan ship is a ten-barreled 11mm machine gun, and the automatic method is the same as the Hatch Kais, which is a turn-tube type, but Lin Fei didn't want to open the gun, because Lin Fei knew that the Zhiyuan ship was about to collide with the Yoshino ship, in this case, it was pointless to kill a few devils with the Grimm fast gun.

The Zhiyuan ship collided with the Yoshino ship, but it didn't want to die together! Because the bow of the Zhiyuan ship is equipped with an extremely powerful weapon - ramming horn! The history of this weapon can be traced back to the naval battle between Rome and Carthage more than 600 years BC, its structure is very simple, that is, a steel conical hard angle, when used, the warship with its weight of several thousand tons and a speed of more than ten knots crashed into the enemy ship, and the impact angle pierced into the enemy ship like a knife!

In the face of huge kinetic energy, the armor of the enemy warship is a blank piece of paper, and after the collision, the two ships are still moving relative to each other, and the collision angle will cut a huge hole in the enemy ship like a sharp knife cutting cheese, and countless seawater will instantly pour into the enemy ship, and the enemy ship will soon sink in despair and pain! In the Battle of Lissa in 1866, the Austrian flagship "Archduke Ferdinand Max" sank the Italian flagship "Italians" with a ramming angle, thus allowing Austria to win the naval battle and that war!

The Battle of Lisa profoundly affected the course of the world's naval history, so during the Sino-Japanese War, there were still warships equipped with ramming angles, and the Zhiyuan ship was one of them.

Lin Fei held the handguard on the cannon tightly, waiting for the moment of impact to come, but at this moment, he saw Deng Shichang running from the stern to the bow of the ship, Lin Fei chuckled in his heart, thinking that the little ghost bullets were raining down, wasn't he looking for death?

Behind Deng Shichang, Liu Daming shouted while chasing: "Lord Deng, you can't go back to the command tower, the devil's shells are too fierce!" Liu Daming shouted twice and then went into the command tower.

Deng Shichang didn't say a word, walked through the rain of bullets, stepped past the dead body, and rushed to the command tower, Lin Fei's heart was hot, secretly thinking that Deng Shichang was going to the command tower and giving the order of "crash preparation"! At the moment of impact, both sides have to experience a lot of momentum, and if the crew on board is not prepared, a sudden momentum may lift people out of the way, and if they hit the cabin, they will break their bones and tendons, which is why I hold the gauntlet on the cannon and fix myself.

In fact, Deng Shichang could hide in the steering wheel room and wait for the impact, and there was no need to risk his life to cross the deck, but he did this completely to protect those sailors who didn't know that the impact was about to happen! Lin Fei thought of this, and a feeling of emotion suddenly rose in his heart, and he looked at the Green fast cannon on the side and thought, "Fight with the little devil!" He stood up and reached for the Grimm's firing wheel.

The firing handwheel of the Grimm fast gun is used to rotate the barrel, and the firing device is also on the handwheel, so while rotating the handwheel, the Grimm fast cannon will be fired, Lin Fei pulled the steering gear, and aimed the Grimm fast cannon at the Hatch Kaith machine gun turret on the Yoshino ship, and then turned the handwheel, and the gun barrel suddenly came with a "bang bang" sound, and one by one the shining bright spots flew out of the muzzle and landed on the Yoshino ship, and the shells hit the turret, splashing pieces of sparks.

The Japanese army found that the Zhiyuan ship fired back, and immediately turned the gun muzzle and began to shoot at the gun position where Lin Fei was, and the Japanese machine gun turned, and the shells falling on the deck suddenly decreased, and Deng Shichang ran back to the command tower, and then the whole ship sounded Deng Shichang's high-pitched voice: "Prepare for impact!" ”
