After firing the first wave of 12 torpedoes, the launch team on the Japanese warship immediately replaced the next batch of torpedoes, and the loader pushed the loading cart over, put the torpedoes into the launch canister, adjusted the direction, and set the gyroscope, and the whole process took only about a minute, and then fired the torpedoes into the water again.

The Japanese No. 1 torpedo can reach a maximum speed of 40 knots, and can travel 30 kilometers at a speed of 35 knots, and its technical indicators are very similar to the Japanese Type 93 "spear" torpedo in Lin Yuan's era, and this kind of torpedo is far ahead of this era.

The reason why the Japanese torpedo has such a high speed and range is because they used oxygen combustion propulsion technology on the torpedo, the Japanese army stored pure oxygen in the torpedo, and when the engine was working, the fuel was directly mixed with pure oxygen for combustion, so its combustion efficiency was very high.

The use of pure oxygen in torpedoes can be described as "risking the world's disapproval", because the nature of pure oxygen is lively, with high oxidation, so when the torpedo circulates internally, once it touches the grease, the fuel may explode, when Japan developed this kind of torpedo, because of the pure oxygen has several explosion accidents, each time it is a bullet destroyed and killed, but the Japanese army in order to allow the torpedo to kill and injure the Lin Yuan warship at a long distance, or insist on letting this type of torpedo enter the army service.

Therefore, this kind of No. 1 torpedo has a very bad reputation in the Japanese army, and the launch team breathed a sigh of relief after beating them safely, but the oxygen fuel alone cannot make the torpedo swim out of the river so far, and the speed is still so high, Japan has installed a gyroscope to ensure the stability of the mine body on the mine, and has also made great efforts in the thruster, which makes this type of torpedo have very excellent performance.

However, there is no advanced non-contact fuse on the No. 1 torpedo, such as the magnetic fuse and acoustic fuse used by Lin Yuan to bomb British merchant ships in Shanghai Port before, this kind of torpedo is not on it, and this torpedo is still equipped with a primitive trigger fuse.

The torpedo swam towards the warship of Lin Yuan's troops in the water, because it does not produce a lot of gas when the oxygen is combusted, so there are not a lot of bubbles in the water, and it is difficult to be found visually, but the torpedo will definitely make sounds when it swims, and these sounds must not escape the ears of the sonar on Lin Yuan's warship.

Soon, the sonar operator on the warship found that several targets were moving at high speed on the sonar display, and the sonar operator immediately reported to the captains of the ships, and the captains of the ships immediately reported this matter to Yu Feng, Yu Feng thought to himself: "Lin Shuai guessed well, the Japanese army really made a breakthrough in torpedo skills!" So Yu Feng ordered: "All ships immediately activate the anti-torpedo system and knock out the incoming torpedoes of the Japanese army." ”

At this time, the chief of staff said: "If the anti-torpedo system is used, then the missile can no longer be launched, because the hull will shake when the missile is launched, which is likely to affect the accuracy of the anti-torpedo system." ”

Yu Feng said without thinking about it: "Now the torpedo is the number one threat, order all ships, first hit the torpedo, and then hit the Japanese warship!" ”

The chief of staff immediately went to convey the order, and in a short time the order reached the captains of the various warships, and the captain immediately ordered: "Rocket-boosted mines are ready!" ”

It turned out that Lin Yuan had already seen that all countries would use mines as weapons to attack their fleets, so in order to guard against enemy torpedoes, Lin Yuan specially prepared an anti-torpedo system, and rocket-boosted mines were the first step.

In Lin Yuan's time, rocket-boosted mines were anti-torpedo means that only appeared in the eighties of the twentieth century, this kind of mines are equipped with rocket thrusters, and when used, the rockets can push the mines to a predetermined position - that is, the course of the torpedoes, the mines are equipped with various non-contact intelligent fuzes, and the enemy's torpedoes will detonate the mines as long as they enter the area of action of the mine fuzes, and the mines will cause serious damage to the torpedoes.

The Divine Beast-class destroyer is equipped with more than a dozen rocket-boosted torpedo launchers, which are deployed on the side of the board and have their own rotating mechanism, which can be turned to launch in any direction, at this time the sonar operator on the warship sent the direction of the incoming torpedo to the control room of the rocket-boosted mine, and the officer in the control room immediately set the launch direction according to the ballistic parameters of the incoming torpedo, and then pressed the launch button.

Explosions suddenly came from the launch canister, and one rocket after another flew out with mines, forming a torpedo interception net in the waters 15 kilometers away from the battleship.

The torpedo soon came near the mine, the mine was equipped with an acoustic-magnetic composite fuse, which could sense both the sound signal of the outside world and the magnetic field signal of the outside world, and the shell of the Japanese torpedo was made of metal, and it would make a loud sound when moving in the water, so the mines found them without much effort.

After judging that a torpedo had passed, the processing circuit in the mine immediately detonated the explosives, and the shock wave generated by the mine pushed the surrounding sea water, instantly damaging the propeller and stabilizing rudder surface of the torpedo, and the torpedo could not maintain a stable direction, and also lost power, and plunged headlong into the dark and boundless seabed.

This kind of mine does not need to be loaded with too much explosives at all, because it does not need to destroy the torpedo body at all, it only needs to push a large amount of water around the torpedo, destroy the movement environment of the torpedo, and make the torpedo unstable.

Just when the Japanese soldiers were praying bitterly that the torpedoes would hit the target, their torpedoes had been almost blown up by the rocket-boosted mines of Lin Yuan's troops, but there were still some mines, which broke through the defense line of the mines and continued to sail towards the warship group of Lin Yuan's troops.

The sailors on Lin Yuan's ship did not panic in the slightest, because they still had a second line of anti-torpedo defense - depth charges! In Lin Yuan's era, depth charges were generally used to blow up submarines, and they were also used to counter torpedoes, and depth charges were actually bombs, but the sealing was relatively good, and water could not enter the inside of the bomb body.

The captain of Lin Yuan's warship found that there were still torpedoes in the water that had not been destroyed, and immediately ordered: "Prepare for depth charges!" Put! ”

The Divine Beast-class destroyer has a tactical guide rail for casting depth charges, which can throw depth charges far away from the warship, and the sonar operator detected that the depth of the Japanese torpedo is five meters, so he notified the depth charge casting group to set the detonation depth of the depth charge at five meters, and the depth charge exploded after falling, just colliding with the Japanese torpedo!

Depth charges are all big guys with a charge of tens of kilograms, and the explosion power is much stronger than those rocket-boosted mines, and the torpedoes can't stop rocket-boosted mines, how can they block depth charges? The remaining torpedoes were soon blown up by depth charges, and the No. 1 torpedo, on which the Japanese army had high hopes, was all knocked out by the anti-torpedo system of Lin Yuan's troops.
