946 Discovered by the First Enemy
Lin Yuan thought very clearly, the key to tonight's battle is not to let the enemy achieve a siege on his warship, so he can't let the enemy find himself, so that the cloud burst bomb can not be used, the cloud burst bomb will rise dozens of meters high when it explodes, and it can be detected by the enemy dozens of kilometers away in the vast night sea.
So Lin Yuan ordered not to use cloud burst shells, as for the armor-piercing blasting bombs, Lin Yuan also thought about it for a while, although the explosion sound would not travel too far, but there was no guarantee that it would not be heard by the enemy, and the armor-piercing blasting bombs were very expensive, and the manufacturing process was also complicated.
The captain saw that the hull of the boat had been turned around, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and what he didn't know was that the catastrophe was coming, and the orientation of the torpedo boat changed relatively quickly when it was turning, so the tracking and aiming of the Kuilong ship was deviated.
This is not because the performance of the fire control radar of the Kuilong ship is poor, but the principle of tracking and aiming determines that deviation is inevitable, because the principle of tracking and aiming is to guess the position of the target at the next moment according to the azimuth change rate of the target that has been observed, but if the position of the target changes too quickly and exceeds the range of aiming estimation, the tracking and aiming system will be powerless.
However, the torpedo boats did not understand this, and immediately after turning the direction, they headed for Incheon Harbor at a constant speed of 28 knots, and the fire control system liked to hit targets moving at a constant speed, and it immediately adjusted the direction of its guns and fired two armor-piercing catapults at the torpedo boats.
The people on the torpedo boat heard the cannonballs coming in an instant like a possessed demon, and they couldn't help but be as decent as chaff, and at that moment, two armor-piercing shells smashed firmly into the hull of the boat, knocking the boat out of two large holes, but the captain exclaimed excitedly: "Great! ”
The torpedo man on the side hurriedly said: "Captain, are you stupid?" ”
The captain pointed back in the direction of the dragon ship and said: "You see that the Chinese warships have no intention of catching up at all, and the range of their shells cannot be unlimited, we ran out of their range after two shots, and we are safe!" And we also have an excuse to go back after two shots, we did not retreat without a fight, but retreated after a heroic battle! ”
Everyone praised: "The captain is the captain, what a cleverness!" And Lin Yuan, who was on the ship in Beijing, was questioned by Shi Jingquan: "Captain, why don't we pursue it?" ”
Lin Yuan said: "It's just a small torpedo boat, we really don't have the need to pursue, let them go, we have a big battle tomorrow, let the soldiers rest more." ”
Shi Jingquan said: "But the enemy still has a lot of torpedo boats, if we don't destroy them all, won't they still find us?" ”
Lin Yuan said with a smile: "No, the only chance for their torpedo boats to win is to use the radio to command the boats and attack our ships more and less, but our electronic jamming has made their radio useless, and they will naturally retreat." Only then did Shi Jingquan understand that everyone in the fleet seized the time to rest and waited for tomorrow's big battle.
The next day was the day when Lin Yuan and Makarov made an appointment for a decisive battle, at about seven o'clock in the morning, the Beijing ship took off a J-25, the pilots on it were Xu Feng and Yang Yu, they were far away from the battlefield to remotely monitor the entry and exit of Russian warships in Incheon Port, at about half past seven in the morning, Xu Feng reported to Lin Yuan: "It was found that the Russian warship was sailing out of Incheon Port, and from the analysis of the cross-sectional area of the radar echo reflection, the Russian army dispatched a total of five battleships, six cruisers, ten destroyers, and nineteen small torpedo boats. ”
Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It seems that Makarov is betting on the old bottom!" So Lin Yuan ordered: "Always monitor the movements of Russian warships, and notify me as soon as all the Russian warships sail out of the military port." ”
At around eight o'clock in the morning, Xu Feng sent a report: "It was found that the Russian warship sailed out of Incheon Port and adjusted its formation in the sea area about eight nautical miles east of Incheon Port. ”
Lin Yuan immediately ordered: "Send the formation of the Russian fleet to the Beijing ship." After the order was given, soon the formation map of the Russian army was displayed on Lin Yuan's screen, and I saw that the Russian army was lined up in four groups, and the radar emission echo of the warship at the front was the smallest, and the further back it went, the larger it became.
Lin Yuan understood at a glance that the Russian army had put torpedo boats in the forefront, followed by destroyers, cruisers and battleships, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "They did this in order to give full play to the advantages of fast ships, discover our fleet as soon as possible, and then give full play to their numerical superiority to annihilate us in one fell swoop." ”
Lin Yuan sneered in his heart: "Naval warfare is the most important thing to gain insight and opportunity, Makarov, you haven't discovered me yet, your formation has been clearly reconnoitred by me, how can you win this battle?" ”
At this time, the Russian fleet began to advance to the west, and Lin Yuan saw that his fleet was exactly in the middle of their fleet, that is, if he didn't move, their torpedo boats and destroyers in the middle would be the first to find themselves, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "My goal today is to completely annihilate the Russian fleet, but how to fight?" ”
"Our four warships, each warship has thirty-six vertical launch units, can launch thirty-six Eagle Strike missiles, four warships have a total of one hundred and forty-four, if you want one to hit one, it's no problem, but that is too cost-effective, a small torpedo boat is not worth our precious missile."
Lin Yuan thought for a moment, and then made up his mind to hit their battleships first and give them a knock! However, Lin Yuan calculated the favorable launch position, and only then did he find that according to the current position of the enemy and us, the favorable launch position was on his north side, and this position was relatively close to the enemy's torpedo boats, so after launching the missiles, it would definitely be discovered by the enemy's torpedo boats at the front.
Lin Yuan thought for a while: "Even if it is discovered by their torpedo boats, there is nothing, first of all, we have the power to control the electromagnetic field, and the enemy cannot direct communication through radio and concentrate attacks, and secondly, Makarov's flagship is a battleship, and I will destroy all the enemy's battleships in the first wave of attacks, which will not only be a shock to the enemy, but will also make them lose their command structure, and they may collapse without a fight!" ”
Lin Yuan made up his mind, picked up the communicator and ordered: "Mocking Wind Ship, attack the enemy Narva-class battleships: Vladivostok and Blagoveshchensk, Jairwood Ship, attack the enemy Alexander II battleship, Alexander II and Nicholas I, Fire Phoenix Ship, attack the enemy Narva-class battleships: Khabarovsk, Kuilong, cover the three battleships, and prevent the Russian torpedo boats from launching a sneak attack." ”
After Lin Yuan's order was given, the three warships immediately began to prepare, they first moved to a favorable position, and then turned on the fire control radar, activated the missile radar seeker, and just when Lin Yuan thought that he could launch missiles, the mocking wind ship suddenly sent a message: "Report to the captain, the mocking wind ship cannot lock on to the target!" ”
