The East India Fleet did go to hell.  Thirty 026 fish # mine boats of the North Sea Fleet had secretly arrived in Lufeng three days ago, accompanied by the transport and supply ships of the East China Sea Fleet.  Since the five battleships of the North Sea Fleet were all damaged to varying degrees in the Battle of the Yangtze Estuary, the hulls of the five battleships were all broken and cracked by British artillery, so they had to be repaired in Shanghai. After half a year, they have now been repaired.  The repairs have been completed, but considering the defense needs of the Bohai Bay, the supply support work for the three 026 torpedo boats heading south was still handed over to the East China Sea Fleet.  The six battleships of the East China Sea Fleet did not accompany them. In Yao Fan's view, the combat strength of the 30 026s was far higher than any battleship formation in Asia these days. Therefore, the East China Sea Fleet only transferred two steamships affiliated to the original Steamship Merchants Bureau.  A paddle steamer transport accompanied the ship as a supply support ship.  The 026 Torpedo speedboat #shouned to Yao Fan in 2013 is actually an improved version of the 026 Type 2. The all-steel shell is equipped with a V-shaped hydrofoil, which can rely on the hydrofoil on the sea at a speed of 50 knots.  Take a soaring flight rather than gliding across the water.  In addition to two 533mm tubes, which are 21-inch large-caliber torpedoes, the boat also has two 14.5mm dual-mounted high-level dual-purpose carrier-based aircraft gun towers at the front and rear.  As a small torpedo boat, the endurance of the 026 is not outstanding. Although the diesel engine has been improved many times, the endurance has only increased from the original 400 kilometers to 550 kilometers. Therefore, the 026 must carry two pieces of equipment all the way south.  A supply ship carrying barrels of diesel fuel.  But a large-scale cluster of 30 026s, against any battleship formation in this era, is as unstoppable as the arrival of death.  The high speed of 50 knots makes the 026 move more flexibly on the water than most naval guns of this era.  Even the 2013 aircraft carrier armor thickness cannot withstand the 533mm large-caliber torpedo.  Compared with the 70-meter attack range of the world-leading torpedo first adopted by Russia in 1878, the 533mm torpedo in 2013 has been improved for more than a century.  However, taking into account the technological level of 1877, the military industry department in 2013 still reduced the performance from dual guidance with line control and terminal sonar guidance to a single terminal sonar guidance, reducing the maximum launch distance of the self-use model to 50 kilometers.  At 3 kilometers, the torpedo boat basically needs to rush into the range of the opponent's main gun before it can be launched.  But this is also a helpless move. Since the wire control is removed, we can only rely purely on the sonar system.  Different from the detection distance of more than 40 kilometers of the sonar system of large ships, the working distance of the small sonar carried on the torpedo is only about 4 kilometers, which requires that the launch distance is best controlled within this radius, so according to the 2013 Yao Fan  In the combat regulations formulated by the Navy in 1877, the optimal attack distance was set to 3 kilometers.  With the help of the small torpedo attack radar on the 026 boat to provide targeting parameters, the torpedo will quickly adjust its posture after launch, enter the predetermined launch parameters, and then turn on the sonar system it carries to lock the attack target.  Since the full load tonnage of 026 is only over 39 tons, the small torpedo attack radar it is equipped for searching for surface targets is not very powerful, and the sea search radius is only about 37 kilometers. However, for the 1877, the world's first torpedo at this distance  Considering that there is still half a century before the birth of practical radar, 026 is really the unrivaled maritime overlord Yes, a 39-ton torpedo boat an absolute maritime overlord!  Therefore, when a large number of British warships anchored at Stanley Naval Port pulled anchor, three torpedo boat brigades composed of 30 026 torpedo boats that completed the last supply mission from Lufeng Port in Guangdong were already waiting on the sea.  They arrive.  "Three-quarters full, left rudder 15, refer to the Lantau Lighthouse, enter the departure route." East India Fleet Commander Brusto personally issued navigation instructions to the 6,010-ton displacement flagship Iron Duke.  As the large and small war auxiliary ships of the British and French combined fleets sailed away one after another, the South China Sea appeared unprecedentedly desolate in the eyes of the British colonists, and the vast blue came into their eyes, bringing with it a sense of desolation.  Give these invaders extreme sorrow.  "Britain will come back!" Brewster, commander of the East India Fleet, said to the sad-looking naval officers around him.  Hearing what Brusto said, everyone put away their sad faces and stood upright and said: "Yes, Your Majesty General, Britain will come back." At this moment, without any warning, the Iron Duke suddenly  Suffering a huge blast attack, a 533mm torpedo quietly hit the Iron Duke's stern. The water pressure generated by the huge explosion instantly shredded the entire rear half of the Iron Duke's armored hull.  This ship can be called the treasure of the East India Fleet.The armored ship seemed to be a paper sacrifice for an instant, but it was kicked from behind, and half of it was shattered in an instant.  For a moment, the whole boat seemed to be pinched by a big hand in the dark, and it suddenly plunged into the sea in front of it, and then suddenly bounced back and sat down into the sea, with the entire bow of the ship tilted out of the sea.  Amidst the panicked cries of the sailors, soldiers and immigrants on board, the ship began to sink with a creaking sound.  The water column caused by the explosion of this 533mm torpedo was more than ten meters high on the sea surface, and the kinetic energy of the explosion that could not be vented underwater was fully transmitted to the attack target through seawater that is a thousand times denser than air.  So much so that the yield of this explosion is almost equivalent to hundreds of tons of tn#t explosives exploding in the air. The consequences can be imagined. Even later aircraft carriers and battleships cannot withstand the thunderous blast of a 533 caliber torpedo.  Attack, not to mention the ironclads that have not yet transitioned to the pre-dreadnought era these days.  All of a sudden, the alarm sounded loudly on the sea. All the ships of the combined fleet were frantically shaking the warning bells on the ship. The sailors on each ship all entered the combat position. The rapid ringing of the bells was surging on the sea, like a death knell.  .  Soon, the combined fleet found that it had been surrounded by dozens of ridiculously fast small boats moving at high speed in the distance. Those small boats were speeding on the sea a few kilometers away at a speed that did not belong to this era, and from time to time  The long-tubed torpedo was thrown out of the side of the boat.  "Damn lookout post! How come these bastards didn't notice those Chinese clippers!" Molayel, commander of the French Far East Fleet, dropped his telescope nervously and cursed angrily.  "The Chinese clippers are too small! Such a small ship is difficult to detect visually!" The officers explained anxiously. "The Iron Duke is finished. I now announce that the combined fleet will use the cruiser USS Pasadena as its flagship."  , I will take command! All the warships immediately dispersed and fired at the Chinese clippers! " "Yes." When the combined fleet was in a mess and the Pasadena was sending signals and signals in a panic, three of the North Sea Fleet  The torpedo boat brigade has completed the encirclement of the combined fleet in the southwest, southeast and northeast directions. Each torpedo is fired from the torpedo tube into the sea as if it is free.
