- On a cruiser filled with military personnel, dozens of passengers were singing on the deck.
It was a long journey and there were no entertainment facilities on the ship, so the soldiers on the ship had no choice but to pass the time in this way.
"Sakura, cherry blossoms, in the clear sky in late spring in March, it is cloudless and clear, the flowers are as bright as clouds, and the fragrance of flowers fills the sky. Come on, come on, let's go see the flowers!"
While singing, several Japanese soldiers even shed tears.
Although they are all soldiers who have committed murders, they have been away from home for many years and singing such songs also made them have many feelings.
But while these Japanese soldiers were still singing songs on the boat, they didn’t know that just under the sea not far away, a group of undersea demons were watching them coldly
"How's it going? Are everyone here?"
Standing in the enclosure command tower, Liu Yun asked the adjutant next to him after putting away the periscope.
“Don’t worry, everything is ready!”
Hearing Liu Yun’s question, Qi Lin said with a smile.
Unlike other arms, submariners have a great uniqueness, that is, submariners on the same boat are like family members. This situation occurs naturally because the crew members stay in a closed and narrow boat for a long time, which deepens the communication between the crew members.
Especially during combat, you have to stay in a submarine for a long time.
Therefore, when facing Liu Yun, Qi Lin did not use the tone of subordinate to superior like other military units, but more like friend to friend.
Hearing what Qi Lin said, Liu Yun just smiled.
"Then, let's attack simultaneously in ten minutes as planned!"
"yes!!!"
With that said, Yun once again thought about everything he had just seen through the periscope.
At this moment, above Liu Yun and the others, a fleet full of Japanese soldiers who had transferred to Australia was sailing there slowly
"As long as we can sink all these ships, no. Even if we only sink half of them, we can probably sink an entire division to the bottom of the sea"
Although there are many people who can swim in Japan, the sea is different after all, and this is a deep sea area. As long as there is a little smell of blood flowing out, the sea will definitely be very lively.
Of course, it is still impossible to judge how many Japanese soldiers are on the fleet, but if the operation is successful, one division will definitely not be too many
"It must be successful"
This time they set off from the base in the Philippines, but they came just for this matter
————————————————————
While Liu Yun was praying for the success of the operation, the Japanese soldiers on the fleet were still singing loudly.
For them, perhaps this is the only way to alleviate the loneliness on the journey.
But there is nothing we can do about it. Because the warships were so crowded at this time, even the decks on some warships became sleeping places.
This is not surprising. At this moment, don’t the British cruise ships Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth exist as troop carriers? While existing as a troop carrier. In order to transport as many troops as possible, the deck has long been a living place, and even more exaggeratedly, there are hammocks and the like in many places.
When the Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary were used as troop carriers, there were even many cases where the cruise ship almost capsized due to too many people on board
Compared with these two industry experts, these warships are nothing at this moment
It is precisely because of this. Therefore, the decks of these ships are very crowded, and even meals often need to be served in batches. Because there are too many people.
But if this were not the case, Liu Yun would not have made such a judgment
Soon, ten minutes passed
During these ten minutes, the Japanese were still singing, but after ten minutes passed, these Japanese seemed a little tired. The singing also gradually weakened.
However, at this moment, more than ten white lines suddenly appeared on the sea
"Wait? What is that?!"
Although the whole ship was singing. But the watchman is still patrolling at his post dutifully.
Therefore, when the traces of torpedoes appeared on the water, the lookouts immediately discovered these torpedoes.
"Enemy attack!!! Torpedo!!!"
While sounding the alarm,The watcher was also shouting loudly.
Although the submarines of the Japanese Navy are not very good at using them, they are very good at anti-submarine warfare. Therefore, as soon as the siren sounded, the warships had already begun to evade.
However, at this time, the National Defense Forces had begun to eliminate direct-navigation torpedoes and began to fully adopt guided torpedoes. Especially after 43 years, the technology of wire-guided torpedoes has also made breakthroughs, and new wire-guided torpedoes have begun to be fully equipped with submarine forces——This is also something that can’t be helped. Although acoustic homing torpedoes are very convenient to use, But it’s too easy to be disturbed.
Today’s Japanese Navy has found a way to counter acoustic homing torpedoes, that is, using new jamming equipment.
Of course, these are not important, after all, noise interference equipment is not 100% effective.
The most important thing is that it is dangerous for submarines to use acoustic homing torpedoes
The working principle of the acoustic homing torpedo is to lock on to the loudest ship 400 meters after launch. However, it turns out that although the torpedo has an acoustic homing guidance head and can be tracked based on the sound of the target, it requires the enemy ship to make a very loud sound. OK. Moreover, the reliability of this kind of homing guidance head is not high, and sometimes it may accidentally hit one's own side because it searches for the sound of the own ship. Therefore, the submarine should dive to a certain safe depth immediately after launching this kind of torpedo, otherwise it will cause the sound to be too loud. And became a target for torpedoes.
This is also the reason why wire-guided torpedoes are developing so fast. There is no way, because if a new torpedo is not invented or the existing torpedoes are improved, submarines will not be able to use guided torpedoes at all.
At present, the improvement of acoustic homing torpedoes is very troublesome, but wire-guided torpedoes have already achieved certain results, naturally. Wire-guided torpedoes have become the focus of breakthroughs.
So naturally, the navy now has aviation forces using acoustic homing torpedoes, and submarine forces and general ships using wire-guided torpedoes.
As for wire-guided torpedoes?
Torpedoes, which are controlled and guided to targets by instructions transmitted from the launch pad through wires, are often launched by submarines and surface ships, or can also be launched by anti-submarine helicopters to attack submarines and surface ships.
The characteristic of a wire-guided torpedo is that a small wire or optical fiber is used to connect the launching platform (ship, aircraft or shore) with the torpedo. The fire control system of the launching platform and the device on the torpedo form a loop to remotely control and guide the torpedo. The torpedo approaches, captures and attacks enemy ships. This type of torpedo is a wire-guided torpedo. Therefore, it has advantages that other torpedoes cannot match.
For targets with long distance, high speed and strong maneuverability. When the target motion element measurement error is large, the torpedo itself has a large launch spread, or the homing range is short, the probability of the torpedo capturing the target will be rapidly reduced. After the wire-guided torpedo is launched, it is directly controlled by the launching ship, which can always guide the torpedo. target, greatly improving the probability of capturing the target.
In addition, since the wire-guided torpedo is directly controlled by the launching ship, all equipment that interferes with it will be ineffective, so the anti-interference ability of the torpedo is greatly improved. At this time, the wire-guided torpedo can be fired as a single mine. It is also possible to fire multiple mines in a salvo, guided simultaneously and separately by the fire control system of the launching ship, to conduct multi-target or multi-mine siege on the same target, or even let it break away from the original attack target and change its course midway to attack another target.
The world's first wire-guided torpedo was the "Skylark" torpedo developed by the Germans during World War II. In 1950, the first-generation K37-1 electric self-guided torpedo developed and imitated by the United States was officially put into service. The K39 that entered service in 1957 and the K45 that entered service in 1964 are the second generation of American line-seeking torpedoes. The NT37-2 torpedo in the late 1960s is the third generation. The K48-1 type that was successfully developed in 1975 is the fourth generation of torpedoes. In addition to the United States, other outstanding features in line-guided torpedoes include Italy's A-184, Sweden's TP-61 and TP-42, and the UK's K24 "Tigerfish" and "Whale" torpedoes.
————————————————————
The ships evaded in time, but when they thought they had avoided the enemy and the noise jamming device had started to operate. Those torpedoes are still attacking them
"How can this be!!!"
Seeing as many as three white lines heading straight towards the hull, the watchman standing at the highest point just thought of this without saying anything, and the torpedo had already hit the hull
“Boom!!!”
Three consecutive explosions. Three huge gaps were blown out of the cruiser's hull.
In just a blink of an eye, a large amount of seawater began to pour into the warship along the gap, and fire began to ignite inside the warship
Crying, howling
Soon, such sounds began to be heard on the warship.
And just when they wanted to send out a cry for help to the surrounding ships, the explosion sounded again. Soon two more ships were sunk
"ShouldDamn, it’s the Chinese submarine force…”
Looking at the scene in front of him, the man said naturally.
"Sir, what should we do now?"
"Don't carry out rescue yet, first send out the escort ships and kill all those damn submarines."
"clear!"
Although Japanese ships are not generally equipped with equipment such as radar, equipment such as sonar has been commonly equipped on every warship.
Therefore, although the Japanese Navy only relies on weapons such as depth bombs for anti-submarine warfare, it is not without confidence in anti-submarine warfare. Of course, in this era, almost every country is using depth bombs to carry out anti-submarine operations. For anti-submarine purposes.
As for anti-submarine torpedoes, this historically only appeared in the mid-1950s after World War II. In the mid-1950s, the United States made a bi-plane active acoustic homing torpedo (also known as anti-submarine torpedo), which can search in three-dimensional space in the water. Attack a submersible submarine. In 1960, the United States was the first to develop the "Asrok" rocket-assisted torpedo (also known as an anti-submarine missile). It was carried by a rocket and flew to a predetermined point into the water to automatically search, track and attack submarines.
Although the order has been issued, the strangest thing about Yamaguchi is why the noise interference equipment did not work?
After the voyage to the Philippines, due to heavy damage from acoustic homing torpedoes, most of the main ships of the Combined Fleet sank, eventually ending up in the Hawaii area. The Combined Fleet could only maintain an evenly matched situation with the U.S. Navy, which had just restored some of its strength.
Such a result is naturally a bloody lesson for the Japanese.
It is precisely because of this that after the Philippines voyage, the Japanese began to study methods to deal with acoustic homing torpedoes.
But although Japan’s torpedo technology was considered very advanced during World War II. But after all, there was not much research on guided torpedoes, so in the end we had to turn to Germany, which was the first to develop guided torpedoes.
Since the current war situation is not going very well, Germany has also changed its original attitude of never giving technology without giving things. Instead, it took the initiative to tell Japan the secret of acoustic homing torpedoes, and also personally taught how to deal with it—— ——Noise interference…
And after acquiring this technology. Japan is also a treasure trove.
In the many conflicts that followed, although various types of naval bombers equipped by the National Defense Navy were dispatched to deal with Japanese Navy ships, the effect of acoustic homing torpedoes was not good. From this point, it can be seen that Japan's jamming equipment was still successful. .
It is precisely because of these actual combat verifications that Yamaguchi and other naval admirals have also regained a lot of confidence.
But now
"Strange? Why? Could it be that the Chinese torpedo technology has changed?"
At this time, Yamaguchi had not guessed the head of the wire-guided torpedo, but was wondering whether an improved acoustic homing torpedo had been released.
"No matter what, we must spread this news back to the country"
With this in mind, Yamaguchi said to an officer on the side.
"Go, spread the news here back to the country, tell the people in the country, just say"
Before Yamaguchi could finish the sentence. Then I heard a scream from outside.
“Torpedo!!!”
Immediately afterwards, Yamaguchi lost consciousness in a violent explosion, and the heavy cruiser he commanded was also hit by multiple torpedoes
————————————————————
"Captain, if you look at it this way, let alone half of it. Even if they all stay, it's not impossible!"
"Seeing more and more ships on the sea being hit, while the Japanese were still blindly searching for themselves on the sea, Qi Lin said with a smile.
However, after hearing Qi Lin's words, Yun shook his head.
"I'm afraid it's unlikely. After all, our ammunition is limited" When he said this, Liu Yun sighed. "If I had known it would be so effective, it would be great if there were a few more ships"
Even as Liu Yun and the others were saying this, the Japanese warships on the sea were still searching for them.
However, although several submarines were discovered, some warships were unable to concentrate on carrying out anti-submarine operations under attacks from other submarines.
Just like aircraft carriers and battleships, China also attaches great importance to the operation of submarines.
“Especially in the destruction battle carried out after the Kurile conflict, the submarine force performed extremely well. Therefore, in the following more than 20 years, the development of submarines has never stopped.
After the three-class main submarines Zhen Shui Xiao, Ji Shui Leopard and Shenshui Yuan, in the past?In more than 20 years, the Chinese government has once again developed multiple types of main submarines. The main submarine currently equipped by the Chinese government is a large fleet submarine called "Wei Yueyan".
Weiyueyan is Weiyue, one of the twenty-eight places, and the fifth of the seven places in the north. It is located at the tail of the turtle and snake, hence the name "risk".
Wu means high. It is high and dangerous, so there are many dangerous places.
Different from the Shenshuiyuan or Jishuibao class in the past, the Weiyueyan class is the first submarine in the world that is completely designed for underwater combat, rather than diving to attack and avoid surface ship attacks. It can be called a modern submarine. The prototype of a submarine.
During World War II, the submarines previously equipped by the National Defense Navy began to become somewhat unusable, so the Navy decided to design a new high-speed submarine. The Weiyueyan-class submarine has improved the old battery capacity, which is about three times that of the previous model, greatly increasing its underwater range and shortening the time it takes to surface. The Weiyueyan class can use the snorkel to charge in less than 5 hours, and can have the ability to continuously submerge underwater at a speed of 5 knots for 2 to 3 days without recharging. The Weiyueyan-class is also quieter than previous models, making it less detectable during submersibles. The Weiyueyan-class hull is also designed to be simplified and streamlined, which increases the submersible speed and reduces submersible resistance, making it more difficult to be detected. Tracked and destroyed.
The space and equipment inside the Weiyueyan-class ship are also larger and better than before. The large hull still has space after being equipped with multiple sets of batteries. At the same time, the ship has refrigeration equipment and other shower rooms that are not available on the ship. The Weiyueyan class also has a special hydraulic torpedo system, which can shorten the torpedo assembly time (it can launch 18 torpedoes in 20 minutes), and the torpedo firing rate is also faster. The Weiyueyan class also has a more advanced sonar system, which can aim and launch torpedoes without the need for a periscope, increasing its concealment. There are a total of 40 torpedoes, or 23 torpedoes and 12 mines, in the Weiyueyan-class submarine. There are 6 torpedo tubes on the bow. In the past, only one 20mm anti-aircraft gun was left among the deck guns and multiple anti-aircraft guns equipped on the submarines.
The production of the Wei Yueyan class adopted a different method from the past. The Navy streamlined its production and divided the entire submarine into 8 parts. The parts were manufactured in 32 shipyards and then concentrated in 11 shipyards. Assembly is carried out in the factory, and the production speed has been greatly improved. One ship can be launched every six months.
At the same time, compared with the Shensuiyuan class, the displacement of the Weiyueyan class has also increased a lot.
The standard displacement of the Water Ape class is 1961 tons, and the underwater displacement is 2523 tons.
The displacement of the Weiyueyan class increased to 2,500 tons and 3,000 tons, making them quite large submarines even in later generations.
It can be said that the Wei Yueyan class is definitely the strongest submarine of this era. [(m) No pop-up window reading]
