Chapter 290: Torpedo Attack
The speedboat that Han Huanzhang saw was the "Lei 1" lightning strike speedboat.
At this moment, Guan Dachuan is in this speedboat, as the captain of the boat, Guan Dachuan was originally a pirate under Buda, but now he has become the captain of this magical speedboat, although the speedboat is small, but it is really magical. Guan Dachuan was still reminiscing about the successful attack just now, and I have to say that with the eleven soldiers under his command performing their duties and cooperating with each other, the attack just now was perfect, and all the crew members were still in excitement at this time.
"I bet that little Japanese ship will sink soon." Although Zeng Erbao is the lowest auxiliary function in the boat - taking turns to 'wait' for the two charcoal stoves, it does not prevent him from evaluating the first result of the boat, Zeng Erbao is the guy who talks the most on this boat, and is the recognized chatter of the boat. As soon as he said, he was not finished: "What a good ship! It would be nice if the captives came over, but after all, the things of the Japanese are not as good as my Great Song ship, and the workmanship is a bit shoddy, and it is estimated that there are few watertight cabins, or there are no watertight cabins at all, otherwise, it would not be such a waste of wood. Big brother, oh, captain, tell me, isn't that the reason? "I can't help but say that there is a lot of noise in the closed cabin, but Zeng Erbao has a strong body and a loud voice, and it is not a big deal for him to pay a little more lung capacity.
Guan Okawa Zhengtong guò periscope and lookout window to look out, listening to this, can not help but be very proud, in the previous 'wave' spent a mine, this time finally achieved the first performance, just rush the tonnage of this big ship, let alone 1780 tons, our mine performance is not bad.
In today's battle, "Lei No. 1" was the vanguard, but the first time he attacked with a pole mine, it was not smooth, and the pole mine was unfortunately seen by the sailors on the enemy ship at the final impact distance, and a guy was in a hurry, and threw out a shield sharply, which hit the fuse part of the mine's head, and as a result, the mine exploded at a distance of four or five meters from the enemy ship. When testing the power of the explosion, Guan Dachuan understood that the explosive power of this kind of mine charge 'charge' is limited, and if it is close to two meters, the destructive power to the ship is still considerable, but beyond two meters, the destructive power is very limited. Therefore, the first mine attack only exploded a large column of water, which incidentally swept the two Japanese sailors on board into the sea, and for the enemy ship itself, except for a violent shaking for a while, it seemed that there was no damage at all.
Fortunately, I was lucky just now, and I blew up a big ship in one fell swoop, well, it's a bit of an exaggeration to say that the big ship is not small, and it is far from being the largest warship of the enemy. In general, the Japanese ships are not as good as the Great Song Dynasty in any respect, not to mention that there are no big ships of seven or eight hundred tons, and even the craftsmanship of shipbuilding is very contemptible. The problem is that Zeng Erbao just glanced at the lookout window, this kid is taking it for granted, his words have always been open-mouthed, just want to be happy, you don't have to believe him.
"Look, there's a big enemy ship there, bigger than the one from the side! Captain, blow it up next. "The observer sat in the observation position, and the guò periscope captured the latest target, and the speedboat was equipped with two periscopes, as well as three lookout windows, because it was also an armored ship, and it was tightly covered all around, so there was such a configuration as a periscope and a lookout window.
This speedboat is a catamaran, with a piece on both sides - in layman's terms, it is equivalent to two slender monohulls, two monohulls are side by side, connected horizontally, and in the middle of the span, a closed cabin is built, and the hatch cover of the cabin is streamlined, a bit like the pattern of the catamaran of later generations, and more like the O22 stealth catamaran missile boat of the later dynasty. All right! It can only be said that it copied a little bit of the shape of O22, and as for the rest, it is not next to each other at all.
Due to the suspended design of the middle cabin, the height of the cabin is limited, and the crew can only hunch over the cabin. However, the observer was treated well, equipped with a swivel chair, which could easily carry out a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree full-angle scan, and as soon as he turned his buttocks, he observed the large ship behind the side, in his mind, it was the most valuable target for attack, and the observer hurriedly reported to Guan Dachuan.
Guan Dachuan carefully rotated the movable louver of the lookout window, and saw the target through the open slit of the louver, and the scene seen in the periscope always made people feel a little unreal, or the observation through the lookout window was simple and direct, and he preferred to believe in the results of direct observation. After seeing the shape clearly, Guan Dachuan shook his head:
"The enemy ships are entangled with our warships, 'milk' and 'milk'! There's no way to attack at all, do you want to blow up our own ship! A sucker! ”
The observer thought about it too, and hurriedly rotated the periscope to observe from a different angle, and no longer made a sound.
Zeng Erbao said a lot on the side: "Big brother, oh, captain, isn't it that the torpedo is not used!" You have to use torpedoes to hit that big ship, doesn't it mean that torpedoes are powerful, and one hit is accurate! Of course our No. 1 boat has to hit the big boat, right! You can't let Boat 2 gain the upper hand. ”
"Less nonsense." The torpedo mentioned by Zeng Erbao is the big killer of this boat, and there are only six "torpedoes" in total, Guan Dachuan is of course not as knowledgeable as Zeng Erbao, this kid seems to understand torpedo attacks, he is a rookie and a living treasure, but he likes to 'messy' to express his opinions. Guan Dachuan then laughed and scolded: "Zeng Erbao, shut up for me, you don't understand bullshit, you don't have to be embarrassed." ”
It is also strange that the crew of this boat are all improvised, and it has only been less than 20 days since the speedboat was launched for sea trials. Zeng Erbao had been following Guan Dachuan all the time, and he was also a pirate, with this living treasure Zeng Erbao here, the days on the ship were not lonely. Of course, Zeng Erbao, a rookie, is a 'messy' cannon, and the torpedo is a long-range high-power weapon, and the power is fierce enough, but compared with the pole mine, the torpedo must be a long-range 'shot', and the pole mine is a close attack, so naturally the pole mine attack is much more accurate.
Then the observer suddenly shouted:
"There are two enemy boats rushing over, they are rowing, what should I do?"
"Oh, if there is one who comes to die, then fulfill him. It just so happened that our trumpet pole mines had not yet been opened, so we would try our luck with these two small boats. "It should be noted that this boat is equipped with two kinds of pole mines, one is boosted, that is, the kind of pole mine that was used to bomb the ship just now, and the other is unboosted, which is a small mine, and the amount of 'charge' is very small, and it was originally used to deal with small boats.
The speedboat turned nimbly and rushed to the side of one of the small boats, and when it was close to 3o meters, Guan Dachuan ordered:
"Shotguns on the left and right are ready, listen to my command to 'shoot'."
As soon as he finished speaking, the shotgunner on the left couldn't wait to stretch out the shotgun to 'shoot' the hole, look through the cat's eye, and pull the trigger without waiting for Okawa's order.
"Stupid! Did I let you shoot! ”
Before he could finish scolding, the shotgunner on the right also fired. Guan Dachuan sighed, and said in his heart that these two boys were purely 'wasting' bullets.
As soon as the two guns were fired, someone on the Japanese boat on the opposite side was immediately shot, but the distance was far, except for an unlucky guy who was screaming in the face by lead bullets, and the other injured people were swept by the lead bullet that was already at the end of the crossbow, that is, a little skin 'flesh' wound, but in this way, the people on the boat knew it very well, and immediately erected their shields.
The two shots were not released in vain, Guan Dachuan wanted this effect, after the enemy erected the shield, the line of sight was also blocked, and Guan Dachuan's goal was achieved.
Soon, Lin Ji, the pole bearer on the left, pushed a small mine out of the boat, and with Guan Dachuan's "release", Lin Ji quickly pushed out the pole, and through the lookout window, Guan Dachuan saw that the mine was just 'exposed' a little black 'colored' back, and rushed towards the enemy ship like a black fish.
At this moment, the noise of the hot ball motor on the right side suddenly became dumb, damn, what is the situation! At the same time, the course of the speedboat was sharply deflected to the right, and it broke!
"Quick! Pull the line, detonate! ”
Lin Ji listened to the order, pulled the line suddenly, and the mine exploded.
I felt a shake in the speedboat, but it was just a shake. The catamaran is good at this, the structure of the two-piece boat makes the hull much more stable than the monohull, and the resistance to "waves" and "sex" is not generally good. Looking ahead, the small boat has been blown up, the bottom of the ship is facing the sky, the stern has been completely blown up, the original planks have been reduced to planks and firewood, and the tail rudder is missing, the ship is finished.
Luck was good, it was supposed to blow up the middle of the boat, but the course was off course and blew up to the tail, the effect was slightly inferior, but it will be done.
"You can blow up two sections in one piece, but why did you blow up the butt of the boat!" Erbao vented his dissatisfaction and deeply regretted the effect of the explosion.
When Lin Ji heard this, he was not happy, and immediately said:
"I'm just going to blow up the butt of the ship, one blow up and one accurate, in my opinion, if you want to blow up, you have to blow up the butt of the ship, even if it doesn't sink and blow up, after the rudder is blown up, at least it can't turn, yes or no!"
"What a noise!" Guan Dachuan was very dissatisfied with blowing up an enemy boat, but the problem with the hot ball motive on the right was worrying, and Cui Jin, who was in charge of 'waiting' the hot ball motive, was at a loss for the stopped hot ball machine, which was originally two hot ball machines driving two propellers, which was able to run an amazingly 'glamorous' high on the sea, but now that the one on the right side is parked, the advantage of the degree is not so obvious, and the combat power will also be greatly reduced.
"Erbao, go down and see if the propeller is entangled in something."
Erbao is the master of the ship's groceries, for Guan Dachuan's instructions, Erbao never bargained, took off his clothes three times and twice, and climbed down from the middle of the torpedo opening, and after a while, Erbao climbed up, and shouted: "Okay, big brother--- Oh, the captain is really wise, it's really a broken fishing net entangled in the propeller, and now it's okay." ”
Soon, the motivation on the right side resumed work, the noise in the cabin rose again, and Guan Dachuan's fighting spirit also rose again.
"Now, let's blow up that big ship."
Aren't you afraid of blowing up your own big ship that is entangled with that big ship! The observer hand was puzzled, and the two treasures were also puzzled, so he opened his mouth and asked:
"Big brother, oh, captain, that, didn't you say something wrong!"
"Don't worry, just bombed that small ship, Lin Ji's words reminded me, let's blow up the tail rudder of the big ship with a small mine, so that the big ship will not work, and then we will no longer be entangled with our big ship, and then, we will use torpedoes to blow it up." The power of the small mine is not great, and it is still certain to blow up the tail rudder, which is pushed with a six-meter-long pole, separated by six meters, just enough to make the speedboat unaffected by an underwater explosion.
"yes, why didn't I think of that!" Erbao's mouth was not idle, scratching his head with his hands, and he looked adoring. Lin Jixin said, what kind of IQ do you have in the second treasure! When it comes to reading ability on the battlefield, we're really not bragging, it's much better than your Erbao. Of course, the captain is still better than me.
The next moment, the speedboat rushed to the stern of the Japanese ship, and when it was about fifty meters, Guan Dachuan ordered:
"Smoke bomb ready, I'll count three, one, two, three, put!"
The 'sex' ability of Mao's smoke bombs is very ordinary, but Guan Dachuan already feels that this magical smoke bomb is already very powerful, and if you want to rush close to the big ship, of course the smoke tactics must be used.
Under the cover of smoke, Lin Ji, a small mine professional, skillfully pushed out the mine with a pole, when the mine was almost up to the stern, Lin Ji suddenly pulled a long rope, the mine exploded in the stern, shaking, Guan Dachuan saw that the stern was blown open a hole, the sea water was pouring into it, and the tail rudder had turned into wood chips, floating on the sea. After this bombing, the Japanese ship was immediately detached from Han Huanzhang's ship, and the next moment, it threw off the distance.
The speedboat made a quick circle, then pointed the direction to the head of the Japanese ship, and began to add. Seeing four puffs of black smoke shooting out of the speedboat one after another, the view of the sea became blurred, this was the smoke preparation before the attack, and this time it was still concocted in the same way.
In the cabin, a "torpedo" is already in the position of "firing", the lower part of the "torpedo" is rounded, and the shape of the upper part is specially designed to look like the back of a large fish. The thing weighed 120 kilograms, and the shell was made of wood, and it was powered by compressed air, in which the piston connecting rod crankshaft mechanism was actually a miniature version of the steam engine, and when the compressed air was released, it drove the piston connecting rod crankshaft mechanism, and then drove the propeller to rotate, from which the torpedo gained power. Because the pressure of the compressed air was not high enough, its 'firing' range was only sixty meters, which was the maximum 'fifteen' range that could be achieved at the beginning of the speedboat giving it fifteen knots. As far as the 'charge' of other parts is concerned, in addition to the black/fire 'drug', it is also doped with potassium chlorate, which is of course comparable to the power of torpedoes in later generations, but in this era, the power of the explosion is already extraordinary.
"Open the gas valve and get ready! One, two, three, put! "Guan Dachuan was very 'excited', which made the sound look particularly high in the sudden sound of the hot ball machine.
The torpedo sank through the V-shaped groove in the cabin, and the propeller, which had already begun to spin, pushed the torpedo upward, and then crossed the middle deck of the speedboat and rushed towards the enemy ship. It doesn't have a depth fixing mechanism, it just relies on buoyancy, keeps its back slightly 'exposed', carries a string of blisters, and rushes straight at the enemy ship.
Due to the influence of the smoke, the people on the Japanese ship did not notice the torpedo that was approaching in a semi-submersible attitude, and when the speedboat 'fired' the smoke, the people on the Japanese ship realized that this should be another new attack, but after the speedboat approached 30 meters, it suddenly turned the rudder sharply for some reason, and the speedboat rushed to the rear under the cover of smoke. The people on the boat thought that this attack was still the tail, and it seemed that this was the rhythm of striking while the iron was hot and completely blowing up the stern, well, needless to say, it must be so!
What's going on! Why did the speedboat suddenly run away again, what was this doing! Isn't this playing with people!
Just as the Japanese on the ship were feeling relieved, there was a loud bang, and the hull of the boat under the seat suddenly jumped up, and then the bodies flew out one by one.
In the speedboat, everyone felt a huge earthquake, the tail of the speedboat was raised high, and Erbao's forehead hit the plank of the cabin hard, screaming in pain, and the others were not easy.
The observer then shouted wildly:
"Look, look, the big ship of little Japan has been blown to pieces. Ah! Oh my mother! A huge ship was bombed like this! ”。
