Chapter 5: The Sinking of the Japanese Flagship

When Shen Wanqing returned to the cabin, two pistols were aimed at her together.

Zhang Hua took the camera and said, "Comrade reporter, can you explain what your camera is different from other people's?" ”

Shen Wanqing opened her mouth and couldn't speak, Zhang Hua turned to Lin Yuan and said, "Captain, we will investigate this matter clearly." It is hoped that the captain and Comrade Tang will keep this matter a secret. As he spoke, Zhang Hua called the comrades of the action group.

I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Lin Yuan is very disappointed, he said: "Reporter Shen, don't you have anything to explain?" ”

Shen Wanqing took a deep breath and said: "So far, I have nothing to hide, I was secretly sent to the ship by the National Security Bureau, and this time the aircraft carrier undertook the experimental mission, so there are many non-military comrades on the ship, and the superiors also considered the overall situation and sent me to the ship to undertake the secret anti-intermediary mission, and that camera was used by me to communicate with my superiors." ”

Zhang Hua sneered and said, "Who can prove it?" ”

Shen Wanqing replied: "The sixth head of the National Security Agency. ”

Zhang Hua smiled: "I need to contact my superiors to prove whether you are our person or not." I need time, so please come with us and hope you don't resist. ”

Shen Wanqing sighed and said: "It's useless, I contacted my superiors when the shells came, and there was no news at all, and now that we have come to the past, no one can prove my identity." ”

Saying that, Shen Wanqing obediently put her hand behind her head and said, "I'll go with you." Cooperate with your investigations. ”

Zhang Hua took her to a closed room and locked her up. Shen Wanqing is right, she is indeed secretly stationed on the ship by the National Security Bureau, this practice is not uncommon in large-scale operations, the National Security Bureau and the Naval Intelligence Department have also greeted each other, if they do not go back to the past, Zhang Hua will soon be able to learn Shen Wanqing's true identity through his superiors, but now, Shen Wanqing really feels that she is more wronged than Dou E.

Zhang Hua handcuffed Shen Wanqing, as soon as Zhang Hua left, Shen Wanqing opened it with a hairpin hidden in her clothes, she couldn't help but think of the captain, from the first time she saw Lin Yuan, she couldn't help but be curious about this young captain, being able to become a captain at the age of twenty-eight is purely a miracle within a miracle. When he looked at himself just now, his eyes seemed to be full of disappointment, how to make him believe in himself, Shen Wanqing thought to herself, her face couldn't help but turn a little red.

Zhang Hua, Shen Wanqing, as soon as Tang Fan left, Lin Yuan's walkie-talkie rang, the combat staff officer said that the situation was abnormal, and asked him to hurry back to the command room, Lin Yuan ran to the command room, and several large screens in front of him were marked with various information, sea state information, meteorological information, and information about various parts of the ship.

From that map of the distribution of friend and foe, the ten warships of the Beiyang Fleet lined up in a horizontal line, and at the fore were the flagships "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan", two ironclad ships purchased from Germany, which once shocked the whole of Japan, but after the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, Liu Buyun, the commander of the Dingyuan ship, ordered the battleship to be blown up in order to prevent the "Dingyuan" ship from falling into the hands of the enemy. The "Zhenyuan" fell into the hands of the enemy, entered the Japanese naval fleet, participated in the Battle of Tsushima in 1905, changed to a target ship in 1911, dismantled scrap iron in 1912 and sold it, and part of the hull, such as anchors, anchor chains, and shells, was transported to Ueno Park in Tokyo for exhibition.

Lin Yuan clearly saw that the distance between the two sides was no more than seven thousand meters, and in less than half an hour, the two sides were about to exchange fire, it seemed that the process of history seemed to be speeding up, Lin Yuan walked to the porthole, raised the telescope and looked in the direction of the Beiyang Fleet, and saw ten billowing black smoke. Looking at the Japanese fleet again, the black smoke was much lighter.

Lin Yuanzhi said that the Beiyang Fleet used the most inferior coal, and the high-quality anthracite coal was sold by officials at a high price, so the smoke produced by the boilers of the Beiyang Fleet was blacker than that of the Japanese army, so that the Japanese army discovered the Beiyang Fleet early, and the Beiyang Fleet knew nothing. It seems that the Beiyang Fleet is still going to fail miserably, but because the carrier-based aircraft cannot take off, at this moment that changes history, the most elite aircraft carrier can only act as a spectator!

Lin Yuan was anxious, several combat staff officers were also worried, Lin Yuan saw a staff officer spinning with a pen in his hand, and suddenly, a forgotten corner suddenly jumped into his mind!

Carrier-based helicopters!

There are mainly two types of carrier-based helicopters on the "Beijing", four Z-20 anti-submarine helicopters and six Z-25 search and rescue helicopters, and the reason why Lin Yuan failed to think of them early is because in modern warfare, no commander will let the helicopter take on the anti-ship mission, because the helicopter is slow, has poor maneuverability, and has a low load capacity, and cannot be loaded with large anti-ship missiles.

But now the situation is different, in this era, there are no planes, warships will certainly not have anti-aircraft weapons, then a helicopter loaded with torpedoes can strike at local ships.

Lin Yuan immediately ordered the anti-submarine helicopter to load torpedoes and strike at the Japanese ships!

The staff officer next to him asked: "Most of our anti-submarine tasks are undertaken by fixed-wing anti-submarine aircraft, so an anti-submarine helicopter can only be loaded with four light torpedoes, according to the tonnage of the other side, we can almost knock out one battleship with one torpedo, and the twelve ships of the other side, we can sink them all in three sorties, which one do we hit first?" ”

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, waved his big hand, pointed at an enemy ship, and said, "Let's knock it out, the flagship 'Songdao'!" Moreover, only this one is hit. ”

The staff officer did not understand why the captain ordered to attack only one enemy ship, but the military order fell like a mountain, and the fighters on the aircraft carrier immediately took action, and through the integrated command system, the captain's operational intentions were quickly conveyed to the combat personnel at all levels, the pilots ran out of the rest cabin, and the logistics department prepared drinks and food at the pilots' exit for the pilots in need; The amount of fuel required by the helicopter, the type and quantity of torpedoes, immediately displayed on the screen in front of the ammunition depot keeper, the aviation fuel depot keeper in less than a second after the combat order was issued, and the custodian quickly found the specified torpedo from dozens of missiles, bombs, torpedoes, transported it to the elevator, and the elevator rose directly to the deck.

At the same time, the helicopter that needed to take off was quickly transported to the deck through the hangar lift, the mechanic immediately carried out a take-off inspection of the fuselage, after the inspection, loaded with ammunition, refueled, warmed up the engine, the pilot immediately boarded the plane, and under the instructions of the take-off guide, the helicopter roared off the deck and flew towards the designated enemy ship. After it took off, a Z-25 search and rescue helicopter then took off to deal with possible dangers.

In the battle group of an aircraft carrier, the aircraft carrier is actually the brain of all cruisers, destroyers, frigates, submarines, and through the combat data sharing system, intelligence on the entire battlefield is aggregated on the aircraft carrier, then processed, distributed to various combat branches. Now, in front of Ling Xiao, the helicopter pilot, and Wang Rui, the weapon operator, the coordinates of the "Songdao" ship are clearly marked.

The "Matsushima" ship is one of Japan's three scenic ships, and the reason why it is called the three scenic ships is because the names of these three ships come from Japan's three landscapes, and these three ships are equipped with large-caliber guns, which are specially designed for the "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan" ships, and are regarded by the Japanese military as the nemesis of the two ships.

Ling Xiao and Wang Rui are both top pilots, and unlike Xu Feng, who can speak well, both are known for their silence. It was the first time for the two of them to carry out an anti-ship mission, and their previous sorties were aimed at submarines, especially the weapon operator Wang Rui, who had an indescribable feeling in his heart in the face of the empty sonar screen.

In the Battle of the Yellow Sea, the 12 Japanese warships were divided into two parts, the four ships "Yoshino", "Takaho", "Akitsuzu", and "Langsu" were listed as the first guerrillas, and "Matsushima", "Chiyoda", "Iwashima", "Hashidate", "Hiei", "Fuso", "Akagi", and "Saikyo Maru" were the main units of the combined fleet, and they opened a distance from the first guerrillas. The speed of the helicopter was much faster than that of the warship, and half an hour later, the Japanese fleet appeared in the field of view of the two men.

Ling Xiao controlled the helicopter and hovered at a distance of 1,000 meters from the "Songdao" ship, and Wang Rui set the torpedo depth to seven meters, which could hit the "Songdao" ship below the waterline, where the steam engine room and the watertight compartment were, and four torpedoes were enough for the "Songdao" ship to bury itself in the sea.

The torpedo they launched is a new generation of self-guided torpedoes in our country, and it really realizes that after launching, it will automatically look for the sound of the ship's propeller and launch a strike on the ship after the torpedo enters the water.

Wang Rui calmly pressed the launch button, he did not have a trace of nervousness or excitement, just like his usual training. The first torpedo was as light as water, like a shark, and swam towards its prey.

The torpedo entered the water, the active sonar was turned on, in the torpedo's view, the "Matsushima" ship was as conspicuous and annoying as a roaring drunk, the torpedo hit the hull, due to the use of concentrated directional explosion technology, although the torpedo was only loaded with 60 kilograms of explosives, but it could exert the power of 300 kilograms of explosives, the moment the torpedo exploded, the huge pressure pushed the sea water to the hull, and the armor on the hull was torn apart like a piece of tissue paper in front of such a powerful sea water, and then the watertight compartment was torn apart one by one, Countless seawater rushed into the hull of the ship at once, and the hull immediately tilted towards the side of the intake, and the people on the deck clung to the things around them in a panic. The scorching boiler collided with the icy sea water and exploded, accelerating the ingress and tilt of the ship's hull...... The flagship of the Japanese fleet, the ship "Matsushima", is slowly sinking.

Just as Ling Xiao was maneuvering the helicopter to return home, he suddenly felt that the helicopter was like a wild horse that did not obey the call, and a trace of foreboding passed through his heart, the plane was shot!
