E: I was going to write a chapter last night, but my baby burned again and tossed for a long time. I'm sorry, I'll do my best to make it up

The result of one-way transparency on the battlefield is that the side with superior intelligence can completely grasp the opponent's movements, especially in night battles during this period, under this advantage, as long as the combat effectiveness of the two sides is not very far apart, and the commander is not brainless, it is difficult to lose even if he wants to.

The forward battle of the Sino-Japanese naval battle over the Diaoyu Islands was fought in such a one-way and transparent situation.

At this time, the bridge of the light cruiser "Hanjiang", the flagship of the Chinese forward formation, was busy in an orderly manner.

Now the Chinese fleet has mastered the situation of the Japanese forward fleet on the opposite side. The opposing fleet consisted of a protective cruiser and 17 destroyers. The protective cruisers were five newer cruisers, Chikuma, Yaji, Hirado, Otowaba, and Tone, and 17 kamikaze-class destroyers.

The forward formation on the Chinese side consisted of the 6th light cruiser detachment and the 1st ship-by-ship group. The first group of light cruiser destroyers consisted of four Zhuhai-class destroyers: Suzhou, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, and Nantong. The 6th Light Cruiser Detachment consisted of Minjiang-class light cruisers (Hanjiang, Huangpujiang) and Fuchunjiang-class light cruisers (Luohe, Tuotuohe).

The Fuchunjiang-class light cruiser was the first self-made cruiser in New China. This is a 4o6-ton light cruiser, which is mainly used for domestic shipyards to practice.

The ship is 13B meters long (136 meters long at the waterline), 15 meters wide and has a draft of 46 meters. The standard displacement is 4o45 tons, and the full load displacement is 434o tons. The capacity is 36 people, and the cost is 4.15 million yuan.

The configuration adopts the most typical long-bow ship type of Chinese light ships, and the power system is 6 all-oil-fired boilers with steam turbines, gear reduction mechanism, four-shaft propulsion, and shaft power of 28O kilowatts (O575 horsepower). The maximum cruising range is 3 knots, the cruising degree is 2 knots, and the endurance is 66 nautical miles.

The armament is 2 twin-mounted 15o times diameter main guns; duum6 times the diameter of the high flat dual-purpose turret twin turrets in the front and rear, and the main turret in a knapsack layout, 4 single-mounted turrets on the left and right sides); 4 twin 4OMM 6 times diameter anti-aircraft guns; 4 quadruple 2mm 6x diameter anti-aircraft guns. In addition, there are 2 quadruple 6umm torpedo tubes, which are arranged on the left and right sides.

The armor of the Fuchunjiang class is very weak, only stronger than the destroyers and frigates that run naked. The thickness of the main armor belt on the side is 6mm, the armor deck in the core area is 4omm (tail 2mm), the main turret is 75mm frontal, the sides are 3mm, the thickest part of the gun mount is 6mm, and the front of the command tower is 1oumm and the side is 6mm.

The other type of Minjiang-class light cruiser is the second type of light cruiser of the new Chinese Navy, which is a strengthened and enlarged Fuchunjiang-class. The ships of this class have a total length of 176 meters (17-meters at the waterline) and a width of 18. 6 meters, draft 6 meters. Standard displacement 88 tons, full load displacement 24o tons. The capacity is 48o, and the cost is 73o yuan.

It is still a long-bow ship type, and the power system is a B all-oiled boiler with a steam turbine, a gear reduction mechanism, four-shaft propulsion, and a shaft power of 36o kilowatts and 22 horsepower). The maximum cruising range is 3 knots, the cruising degree is 2 knots, and the endurance is 66 nautical miles.

The armament is 4 triple 15o diameter main guns, 6 twin 3mm 55 times diameter high-level dual-purpose guns, 6 twin 4omm 6 times diameter anti-aircraft guns, and 6 quadruple 2mm 6 times diameter anti-aircraft guns. Two quadruple 6umm torpedo tubes are arranged on the center line of the hull headquarters, similar to the Agano class, which can fire freely at both sides. In addition, a hydraulic catapult was arranged on the superstructure of the rear mast, which carried a water reconnaissance-1 "Sea Duck" water reconnaissance aircraft.

Compared with the thin-skinned Fuchunjiang class, the armor of the Minjiang class is finally decent and has really reached the level of a cruiser. It has a broadside main armor belt thickness of 1oumm, core area armor deck 6mm (tail 2mm), main turret frontal 15umm side 8mm, gun mount 2umm at its thickest point conning tower frontal 18umm side 9

The current situation is that Japan's two forward ships will have an advantage over China's forward ships, and in terms of numbers, Japan will definitely have the advantage, and China will be less than half of Japan's. But in terms of tonnage, this is not the case at all, Japan's 2 warships are only 26o tons, and the Chinese side has only 336o tons.

Because Japan's current destroyers are too small, such kamikaze-class destroyers have only a standard row of 31 tons, which is not as good as the "agile-class" large torpedo boats in service with the Chinese Navy (the "agile-class" standard row is 48o tons). According to the rules set by the General Administration, surface ships under 8O tons are considered "boats", not even "ships". If it were in China, this kind of little guy wouldn't even have a regular ship name, and the "boat" class would only have a number.

The Japanese forward fleet also had this problem, and they immediately reported to the flagship: "The forward fleet of the present China is about a protective cruiser (Japan does not have the rank of "light cruiser" at this time)......"

I have to admit that the lookouts of the Japanese Navy are indeed very bunkers, and these guys, who are said to have been cultivated by "eating fish offal raw" and "swallowing tadpoles alive", and who "can see the stars in the daytime", have not wasted the hard work of the Japanese Navy. They only relied on the night lights and general outline of the Chinese fleet to see the Chinese fleet, and could roughly judge the size and type of ships.

Although the sky has cleared and the rain has stopped, it is the middle of the night of a new moon (the third day of the lunar calendar), and the visibility is very low. It is already quite rare for a Japanese lookout to be able to roughly judge the type of Chinese fleet under such conditions. This is also the reason why the Japanese feel extremely confident in their "night war" capability, and to be honest, if the Chinese Navy does not have an absolute superiority in electronic technology, it is really unwilling to fight a night war with Japan.

11:33 a.m.

At this time, the telecommunications chief of the "Hangang" suddenly reported: "Report to the detachment leader, I have heard a telegram from the enemy ship Chikuma to the enemy flagship, and they have appeared with us and are asking for instructions from the superiors ......."

"Report to the detachment commander, the enemy fleet began to change formation...... "the intelligence staff officer also reported.

Liao Guangwei looked at the cursor representing the enemy ship on the screen and smiled: "Hehe, it seems that the enemy has already appeared with us." But now it's too late to change formations

At this time, the two fleets were 13 kilometers apart, and the Japanese immediately turned into a horizontal formation after the current Chinese fleet, ready to charge over and release torpedoes. However, their Chinese fleet has already lined up a lightning strike formation, and 13 kilometers is exactly the maximum range of the "Yu-1" torpedo with the highest endurance.

"The torpedo is set at a depth of - meters, and the maximum height is ...... "With the order of Colonel Liao Guangwei, the commander of the 6th Light Cruiser Detachment, the three heavy torpedoes were fired out "one by one."

But this distance is too far for Japan. The Japanese Navy is now equipped with their own Type 44 torpedo, which was a new product developed in 1911 by the Torpedo Department of the Kure Naval Factory. This is Japan's earliest domestically produced "wet thermodynamic torpedo", and its compressed air tank was an imported product at first, and a few years later it was produced by Japan's Muroran Iron and Steel Company and Xiangyu Steel Works.

The Japanese have always attached great importance to the opening of torpedoes, and this Type 44 torpedo has a maximum height of 3 knots and a range of 7o6 meters. Speaking of which, torpedoes were quite good in the world at that time, but now they are facing the Chinese fleet, and the performance of torpedoes is much better than theirs.

Just as the Japanese fleet began to charge, the Chinese fleet had already finished firing torpedoes and began to greet with naval guns with the assistance of radar and night vision devices.

The effective firing range of the two main guns of the Chinese fleet is 21 and 17 km, respectively (the maximum range is 2 and 24 km, respectively). Even the 3mm 55 times diameter high-level dual-purpose gun on the cruiser has an effective firing range of 13 kilometers, which is just right to participate in the battle at this time.

"Boom, boom, boom...... Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

At 11:03, the Chinese forward fleet fired the first salvo, 3 15 shells, 2 13um shells and 4 3mm shells whizzing and flew towards the charging Japanese fleet.

This can startle the Japanese forward fleet, they really did not expect the Chinese to open fire at this distance.

The effective firing range of the Armstrong 156 times diameter main gun equipped with the Japanese cruiser was still 17 kilometers, and it was so far, but this "effective range of 17 kilometers" was only a theoretical number, and it was impossible to achieve this theoretical number jù under ideal conditions and under the observation and aiming technology at that time. The Japanese are not stupid, of course they know this, so according to the Japanese army's discipline, even if it is daytime, they must fire within 2 kilometers, so as to ensure that the hit rate is not too solid.

In the current visibility and sea conditions, it would be hellish to be able to hit at a distance of 13 km, so the commander of the forward fleet, Rear Admiral Isamu Takeshita, ordered to get closer and fight again. According to their thoughts, it would be nice for the immature Shina Navy to be able to sail out at night, and as for the hit rate of the shelling, it was not to be thought of. What even the Great Japanese Imperial Navy could not do, it was even more impossible for the people of China to do it.

Therefore, a Japanese officer said contemptuously: "The people of China are really stupid, their 6th Army is stupid, and it seems that the Navy is also stupid......"

"That's right, I've heard my predecessors say that during the Sino-Japanese War (Sino-Japanese War), the Shina army often opened fire before it reached range......"

Although Isamu Takeshita did not participate in this kind of discussion, he still laughed secretly in his heart, and at the same time labeled the Shina Navy as "inferior" and "low-level".

But soon, they couldn't laugh anymore. Because the Chinese artillery fire was too scary, the 15 guns reached 6 per minute, the 13um guns reached B, and the 3mm was even more terrible, at least 15 per minute. If this shot is theoretical, it is not unusual, and most of the same kind can achieve it. But to do this kind of shooting in real combat, God knows how many hits you can make. Because there was no time to calculate the firing parameters, there was no way to aim.

So just shooting fast is not scary. But if this cannon is fired quickly and accurately, it will be fatal.

The Yaji, which was set on fire by the Fuchunjiang-class light patrol, was hit by -15 shells and 73 mm shells in one minute, and several large holes were punched in the ship's parts, and the bridge was also hit a few times, and the degree was lowered all of a sudden. The Otowa selected by the two Minjiang-class ships was even more miserable, hitting B15 shells and 2 3-mm shells in one minute, the front main gun was lifted off, many secondary guns were damaged, the entire superstructure was bombed into a sieve, and the coal bunker was ignited by thermite, and the entire warship was set on fire.

"Yaga, what's going on??" Takeshita Yong's face turned white, how could the Shina people hit so accurately under this kind of shooting?

So, he didn't care about any orders, and immediately ordered: "Open fire, open fire"

However, the Japanese counterattack was very weak, because they were now preparing to carry out lightning strikes, and the ship was facing the Chinese fleet, and only the front main gun and some of the front secondary guns could fire, and the 15 guns that could fire at this time were only du and du丨2um guns, and as for the 8mm guns on the destroyer, this distance basically had no possibility of hitting.

Fortunately, the main guns of light ships are not as slow as those of capital ships, and at the same time, the Japanese are in a hurry and don't care about calculating the parameters, anyway, the distance is not far at this time, so it is better to shoot directly with direct sight. The level of training of the Japanese Navy was really good, and although there were not many guns that could shoot, they still fired no worse than the Chinese.

Just the hit rate was ugly, and only one of the 15 shells fired by the Hirado hit the port side of the Tuotuohe.

But this shell scared the Tuotuohe out of a cold sweat for the rest of his life, because the shell just pierced through the deck above the torpedo tube, exploded in the torpedo compartment, and blew the quadruple torpedo tube into a pile of scrap metal. If the torpedo hadn't been fired just now, the Tuotuohe would have been unlucky.

At this time, one of the staff officers of the Tsukumo suddenly shouted, "Your Excellency, the people of China are turning left......"

Isamu Takeshita raised his binoculars to see that the Chinese fleet, which could be faintly seen, made a big turn to the left side of the Japanese fleet while spitting out tongues of fire.

"They must be dodging our lightning strike" Takeshita gave the order without even thinking about it: "The whole team turns left, the destroyers charge all, and when they enter within 5o6 meters, they will immediately carry out a lightning strike on the Shina fleet......"

However, the Japanese forward fleet was just beginning to turn, and the torpedoes fired from the front of China had already arrived......
