1593 Special mines
Heihachiro Togo said, "Then what should we do?" ”
"There are only two ways in front of us, one: cancel this operation, and the submarine will hide in the harbor and not move. ”
Heihachiro Togo said: "No, for the glory of our Imperial Japanese Navy, we must fight this battle!" ”
"Then there is only one way, find a few large ships and make a waterway for us in the harbor waterway," said Oyama Ishiji. ”
Heihachiro Togo and Mayuki Akiyama glanced at each other, Mayuki Akiyama nodded slightly, and Heihachiro Togo said to Ishihimi Koyama: "Okay, let's do this, go and call Abe Ryuichi immediately." ”
After a short time, Abe Ryuichi came to the command room, and Heihachiro Togo asked, "Is there a ship in the port now that is about the same size as the transport ship from last night?" ”
Abe Ryuichi said: "Yes, there are ten. ”
Togo Heihachiro looked at Koyama Ishiji and asked, "Koyama-kun, ten, is it enough?" ”
"How many parachutes were found in the harbor waterways that day?" ”
Abe Ryuichi said: "Twenty-seven." ”
"If every parachute carries a mine, there will be a total of twenty-seven mines, one of which exploded last night, so there are twenty-six left, and twenty-six mines cannot form a line in the waterway, so we will line up ten transport ships in a line, which is absolutely enough," said Koyama Ishiji. ”
Togo Heihachiro said: "Okay, we're decided, I don't know when Lu Dao will act?" ”
Without waiting for Koyama Ishiji to speak, Abe Ryuichi said: "General Togo, no, that's ten transport ships, if they are all blown up, the loss will be too great, right?" ”
Heihachiro Togo said, "What are you worried about! Our biggest goal now is to fight Lin Yuan's warship! Don't say anything more, go ahead and prepare. ”
Abe Ryuichi hurriedly said: "My subordinates understand, I don't know when the time of departure is set?" ”
Togo Heihachiro looked at Koyama Ishiji and asked, "Koyama-kun, when did you say you should set the time?" ”
"Today is March 3rd, and if the transport ship is ready, I hope to leave at nine o'clock this evening," said Oyama Ishiji. ”
Heihachiro Togo looked at his watch and said, "It's still more than eight hours until nine o'clock in the evening, can the transport ship be ready?" ”
Abe Ryuichi said: "I'm afraid this is difficult, because the transport ship is going to die, so there are many preparations, such as removing the people and valuable goods on board......
Heihachiro Togo said: "Then I'll give you another day, at nine o'clock in the evening on March 4, make all the preparations, and then set off, how about it?" ”
Abe Ryuichi said: "It's good, it's almost a day." ”
Heihachiro Togo looked at Koyama Ishiji again and asked, "Is it okay?" ”
Koyama Ishiji nodded slightly, and Togo Heihachiro said, "Okay, let's go and prepare." ”
At nine o'clock in the evening of March 4, night covered the land, and on the inky black channel, only the pilot lights of the transport ship emitted a little bit of light, and Hoshino Yasuwa led the submarine team to follow behind the transport ship, and the Japanese submarines all adopted the method of sailing on the water, so that they could see the situation of the ships in front.
The waterway of the port is more than ten kilometers long, and the speed of the transport ship is only five knots, so it takes about an hour to get out of the waterway, and everyone feels that this hour is the most difficult hour of their lives, because they know that there are mines under the water, and they will be spotted at any time, and their ship will be blown underwater!
The people on the transport ship were worried, and the people in the submarine team behind them were not easy, and they all thought to themselves: "What if these big ships can't detonate the mines, and the mines blow up us?" ”
Hoshino Yasuwa let out a long sigh in the command room and said to Koyama Ishiji: "Koyama-kun, why didn't we study the ship's sound signal in advance?" ”
Xiaoshan Shiji said helplessly: "The military's vision is too narrow, they only think that things like main artillery combat vehicles and battleships are weapons, and they don't care about other things, I have long said that everything can be used on the battlefield, but no one has believed it." ”
Hoshino Yasuwa said, "When we return victoriously, I will definitely report your claim to Superior Lu. ”
Xiaoshan Shiji smiled: "I don't want to return victoriously, I just hope that we can come back alive." ”
Hoshino Yasuwa frowned and said, "Xiaoshan-kun, why do you want to say such frustrating words? ”
Xiaoshan Shiji shook his head and said: "It's nothing if the transport ship hits a mine, as long as the people on it run fast enough, they won't die, but if we hit a mine, ...... There are torpedoes and fuel on the submarine, either of which can kill us. ”
Hoshino Yasuwa didn't speak, Koyama Ishiji sighed lightly, and said: "If there is no war, I will still go to sea in a small boat as before, put down one sensor after another in the seawater, write down one data after another, and come back at night to blow the sea breeze and modify the various ocean models I built under the lamp......"
Xiaoshan Ishiji was talking, and suddenly there was a muffled sound in the distance, and Hoshino Yasuwa suddenly jumped up like chicken blood and said, "Thunder!" ”
Hoshino Yasuzu is right, a transport ship has hit a mine, Akiyama Shinyuki did not guess wrong, this type of mine laid by Lin Yuan's troops uses a sound fuse, but Akiyama Shinyuki did not guess one thing, that is: This type of mine is a special mine that can be floated!
When a ship approaches, the fuse on the mine will automatically measure the sound signal of the ship, and compare it with the template stored in its own database, when the similarity exceeds 60%, the fuse is activated, and the attack begins!
Mines come with booster rockets, which can float from the bottom of the water to the depth of the target within a second, and then explode, mines do not have so many fancy warheads like missiles, what armor-piercing warheads, sub-mother warheads, etc., mines have only one trick: full of explosives, hard explosion! Anyway, explosives explode in water is thousands of times more powerful than exploding in air, as long as there is enough explosives, no matter how thick your armor is, it will blow it all through! There is quite a bit of artistic conception of great ingenuity and loud sound.
The transport ship sank quickly, and the transport ship behind it turned an angle at the place where it sank, and then headed out of the channel, and just like that, three transports struck mines and sank along the way, and Yasuwa Hoshino's submarine team finally sailed out of port.
Hoshino Yasuwa's submarine team sailed towards Lin Yuan's sea transportation line after leaving the port, because it was now dark and this area was not the activity area of Lin Yuan's fleet, so Hoshino Yasuwa did not issue an order to dive, and the Japanese submarine sailed towards Lin Yuan's sea transportation line on the water.
