Chapter 26 Ocean! Collision of Steel (6)
.Continue to go inward, it is the tank of the battleship's fuel tank, which uses the transmission of oil to disperse the impact force to the entire hull to bear it. At the rear of the tank, three layers of reinforced ribs are supported by upper, middle and lower, and all of them are C1 high-elastic steel, which is equivalent to increasing watertightness at the same time. Inside the tank, there is another layer of C1 high-strength steel plate of 30 mm.
In addition, the Cheetah-class has adopted reinforced keels and thicker structural steel in the engine compartment, so that the torpedo or underwater blasting shell shock waves in key areas can be dispersed to the entire ship to bear to the maximum extent, thereby avoiding the critical parts being attacked and paralyzed.
In addition, the cheetah-class watertight cabin has also been carefully divided. In addition to the main turbine cabin, its power system is also equipped with backup diesel generators to prevent damage to the engine cabin and the entire ship's power outage and the failure of the water pump drainage system.
On the other hand, the Japanese armor-piercing bombs are an old problem: they lack practical testing, the problem has not been exposed, and naturally they have not been effectively solved. For example, their fuses are too sensitive and the strength of the bullet body is insufficient. All of this was exposed in this naval battle. The armor-piercing bombs that hit the cheetah-level or even the Guilin-level armored box either exploded in advance or jumped directly. Some of them were directly broken after hitting at close range, only some surface armored steel collapsed.
As one goes up and down, the two cheetah-class ships were like immortal bodies. They were hit by countless armor-piercing bullets of various calibers of Japanese people, but they were almost not pierced, but there were some dents of large and small size. Even if it was
The upper side armor plate, due to the advantages of inclined armor, almost all Japanese armor-piercing bullets have become jumpers.
Facts have proved that even with such close-range shooting, its armor-piercing bombs are only equivalent to high-explosive bombs with reduced charges, while the full charge high-explosive bombs cannot even penetrate the 30 mm Imperial Armor No. 1 armored steel.
Despite this, the Cheetah also endured the baptism of iron and fire.
The shrapnel flew across the deck, and the members of the Huajun Damage Pilot were wearing orange fire uniforms and pig's heads (the special gas mask made by Huajun was filtered with activated carbon to avoid the burning of shells and the ignition of various chemicals released by the various chemicals ignited. The Japanese Shise explosives have been known for releasing toxic smoke while burning and releasing toxic smoke since the Sino-Japanese War). They dragged heavy canvas water to cool out tons of sea water.
The team members holding iron drilling hammers, steel nails and repair materials, waiting for the flames to go out, and then rush to knock.
The injured sailors on the ship were lifted to the medical center under the deck like flowing water, and the dead were also sent to the temporary morgue by a stretcher team. This warship was in a dense enemy artillery fire, and was moving at a high speed at a high speed calmly, sending heavy bullets to the other party's ship calmly, causing huge damage.
Yagum.
"The onboard hit and exploded... The Cheetah is filled with smoke... Continue to move forward, and there is nothing unusual about the shot. The upper armor belt is here and there.
The people are in terrible... Cheetah, no abnormality... Are our shells just used to set off fireworks for the Chinese people... "
Listening to the sound coming from the sound transmission tube, the people in the commander tower were sometimes clenched with excitement and sometimes lowered their heads dejectedly.
Colonel Shigetaro Yoshimatsu's expression was gloomy and murmured to himself: "Is it not a sinking ship... What is the magical warship created by the Chinese? It seems that we cannot win this battle."
The deputy captain Komatsu Toshiya roared angrily: "It's all those unscrupulous chaebols who use some inferior artillery shells to deceive the imperial army... These traitors must be punished by heaven."
"The Navy Province is also traitor..." The Navy Nakasa, who was born in Satsuma, was obviously out of wrath. "Since these chaebols' bullshit products are completely unfair, we should buy white ghost shells, the British and German armor-piercing shells, and they can definitely penetrate the armor of the Chinese people. These incompetent wastes have ruined the Imperial Navy."
The staff members next to them were crying at this moment.
"Ten years of hard training... victory is destroyed by the greed and shamelessness of the chaebols"
"Those politicians should also be punished by heaven... What kind of support for domestic products is to satisfy the appetite of the chaebol..."
"Komatsu, send the battle situation to the base camp and the Navy Ministry. It is necessary to let the navy colleagues know how terrible the Chinese warships have developed and how inferior the shells we use are. This battle is not only defeated by the strength of the Chinese, but also by the problems we have encountered." Colonel Shigetaro Yoshimatsu turned his head and stared at him seriously.
Komatsu Toshiya, "Komatsu, go and do it right away. In any case, our death must alert our colleagues."
"Please." Shigetaro Yoshimatsu bowed deeply and then looked around the audience. "In addition, if this ship is in a slump, please be kind to protect your body. The battle of this ship is not good, and the responsibility lies with me alone. Those who saviors are enough. You are the best Yamato men. No matter what the war ends, please live for the future of Japan."
Komatsu Toshiya nodded with tears in her eyes, turned around and ran to the telegraph room.
"The whole team gathers fire to attack the enemy's third ship Guilin-class"
Seeing that the opponent was hit repeatedly but could not be fatal to kill him, the Japanese armored cruiser simply gave up the luxury of sending him to the bottom of the sea and concentrated all his firepower on the Lijiang.
The pressure on Lijiang increased sharply.
Although the Cheetah and the Snow Leopard were not seriously injured due to the long-term concentrated attack of Japanese warships, the upper building was already in a mess. Most of the secondary turrets concentrated on the swollen port were damaged under the intensive heavy bomb attack, and the maintenance personnel were risking their lives to repair it.
Under extremely difficult circumstances, the two Cheetah-class people maintained a high hit rate against the Japanese army, but they could not solve these tenacious enemies for the time being.
The Lijiang showed fatigue.
The series of ills pointed out by Zheng Weihan before have been exposed.
The unprotected head and tail of the Lijiang ship have long been facing the intensive baptism of the main and secondary guns of Japan.
Rippled with holes. The high-strength structural steel in the Imperial shipbuilding department obviously lacks the strength of armored steel. Under the baptism of high explosives, it was beaten into a sieve and the sea water surged in.
The sailors on and off the deck had been killed or killed, and the bodies were not even transported to the morgue, so they were piled up directly in the corner of the deck. Under such a harsh battle situation, it was already difficult for the members of the damage management team to perform their tasks. The fire ignited across the ship and were forced to withdraw from the battle line.
The one that ultimately defeated the Lijiang was a 254-mm armor-piercing bomb, which hit the main turret in front of the Lijiang. Another high-explosive grenade was escorted like a god. The flames raged, triggering a big explosion in the ammunition depot.
A yellow cloud of smoke rose into the sky with the earth-shaking explosion. The Lijiang sank into the seabed almost within a minute, with only twenty-two of the 848 crew members surviving.
Yagum is not feeling well either.
Originally, under the concentrated attack of cheetahs and snow leopards, Yagum was reluctant to support it. The rear deck was already in a mess. The No. 2 main turret was twisted into useless scrap iron, and there were traces of violent combustion. The ship suffered more than 420 casualties, and water was infiltrated in many places, especially a large hole under the bow of the ship had filled more than 900 tons of sea water.
At this time, the six light patrol teams were from the northeast, and the Chinese guerrillas were diagonally inserted into the flanks of the Japanese warships from the southeast.
With the help of the observer and unified firepower command system on the top of the integrated integrated bridge, two double-connected 152 mm rapid-fire guns on the head deck of the Battle Knife class opened fire violently at a distance of 6,000 meters.
The attack made the Japanese uniform patrol, which was busy fighting against the two Cheetah-class ships on the other side, suddenly fell behind and could only fight back with the secondary guns on the port side, but the accuracy and firepower density could not compete with the two Chinese war knife-class ships.
The Omi, located at the tail of the ship, was the first to be hit by the dense artillery fire of the Chinese army, with water columns rising and falling in front, back, left and right, and the giant * swayed violently. The shooting stability and battlefield observation were greatly affected, and the firepower of the Chinese army uniform patrol was suddenly greatly reduced.
A Chinese army 152 mm armor-piercing projectile from the Saber hit the back of the Omi-2 main turret. Although it did not penetrate the Krupp armor that was as thick as 135 mm, it also caused huge damage and caused violent vibrations inside the turret. Many turret personnel were directly shocked and their firepower was reduced.
Under the cover of fierce firepower, seizing this opportunity, the Meihua and Taohua used the bargaining speed of Omi's rear firepower to approach at high speed, and released a torpedo attack at the advantageous battle position.
With a loud bang, the Oei immediately stopped on the water like a dead fish, and the ship was full of fire.
When the Chinese guerrillas and the six light patrol teams formed by the Brycruiser appeared, there was no doubt about the outcome.
From the air, the Oe seemed to be a delicious piece of cheese, floating on the water, and a group of malicious light warships rushed over from all directions.
At this time, the Omi was like a god possessed by a god, and suddenly became brave. The Chinese army's thick fog that charged forward was the heavy fog
The destroyer, the main turret No. 1 spinning over by the Japanese army, hit the base of the commander's tower with one shot. The violent explosion immediately made the destroyer, which was already seriously injured, and stopped sailing like a dead fish. When the captain of the thick fog was seriously injured, he insisted on ordering the torpedo of the Oebe.
Another series of heavy blows, and the thick fog almost disappeared on the sea surface in an instant.
But almost at the same time, a huge thunder broke out on the port side of the Omi. The warship made a terrifying explosion, breaking into two pieces from the center. The rusty bottom of the ship was exposed from the water, and there were some water plants hanging on it. The propeller was suspended motionlessly in the air. A terrifying vortex formed around the entire ship. Many Japanese sailors who had no time to escape were screamed and were dragged into this bottomless abyss.
From this moment on, a giant ship of ten thousand tons will become a reef on the seabed and be submerged in the long river of history.
After Shigetaro Yoshimatsu from Yagum sank the Lijiang River, he obviously entered a state of excitement and shouted for a fierce battle.
Seeing the cheetah and snow leopard opposite him seem to be wearing triple bright light heavy armor, Yagum emits light signals, and together with the Imai behind him, gave up using armor-piercing bombs, all with high-explosive grenades, using flames and shrapnel to clean the upper buildings of the Chinese army, killing people.
The explosion flashes and violent combustion, one after another on the upper deck of the Cheetah, were soaked in fire-proof chemicals, cut down from the deep mountains and forests in northern Myanmar, and woven into rafts and transported to Annanhai Sea to the river. The teak boards that were made into a deck have been burned.
It was so scattered that the strong No. 1 high-strength uniform armored steel plate below exposed.
Half of the secondary turrets were turned off, and several secondary turrets twisted and twisted under the violent explosions and high temperature flames. The turret was filled with smoke and blood, and even the strange smell of human meat baking.
The deck was covered with broken steel structure components and shells. The splashed blood dyed the deck red, and was washed away by the blown water column and giant *. There were low moans and angry shouts everywhere. The rescue team members wore red cross signs and quickly sent the injured to the medical center in the armored box below.
The shells of the fixed-load shells of the rapid-fire gun were spread everywhere around the gun positions. The sailors wore insulation gloves and used special cleaning tools to knock the shells into the iron net basket on the side, and then used a cart to send them to the bottom of the deck for recycling.
The team members of the damage management team had already lost most of the losses, and the cooks, military police and other messy volunteers also added in, wearing gas masks shaped like pig's heads, carrying canvas water dragons, running madly in front and behind the deck to put out the fire.
The smoke filled the fire and the fire was raging.
At the top of the pagoda-shaped bridge protected by Cheetah, on the observation bridge, a binocular-eyed imager with a baseline of up to three meters helps the observer quickly calculate the offset of the blow point and the relative speed of the enemy ship through the trigonometric function, and provides it to the artillery master.
The integrated shooting command disk uses a dedicated shooting computer to quickly settle the metadata and send various cannons.
1357, 2468, the first group of volleys, the second group of volleys, the proofreading of the elements, loading, and release.
Cheetah
The four main turrets of the magnitude are still like the clock of the precise caliber team, and they are neatly spitting flames with the buttons of the artillery master.
The scene at the Cheetah at this moment was like a robot warrior in the Terminator. Under the terrifying firepower shot from the opposite side, although he was beaten beyond recognition, he still maintained a calm and efficient shooting, and his pace was not messy.
The twelve-inch giant bullet whistled away, the eight-inch high-explosion bomb came through the air, and we went back and forth. In this battle with unequal strength, the two sides no longer had any fantasies.
Either you die or I die.
Yagum's arrogance came to an abrupt end. The murderer was a three-five armor-piercing projectile fired from the main turret of the Snow Leopard.
The shell was shot at a twenty-five degrees and directly penetrated the armor belt on the side of the Yagum, causing a violent explosion in the main ammunition depot. A yellow smoke column as high as 100 meters went straight into the sky. In the ammunition depot of the Japanese ship, the Shishise explosives improved by French pico acid technology were ignited by high temperature and flames, turning the ship's patrol into an erupting volcano.
This giant ship with a standard displacement of 9,700 tons was almost blown into two pieces and sank into the seabed.
The captain of the Umasagi Naizo Yoshi had just launched the banner of "This ship takes over the command". The 3O5 main guns of the Cheetah and the Snow Leopard have begun to prepare for test-fire on him, and they have reached a hit in just two rounds. The Navy Colonel Naizo Yoshi, who had just taken over the command, was seriously injured on the spot, and the command tower was injured and injured. The Chinese lightning strike troops surrounded by wolves braved the Japanese artillery fire and launched a death assault again, carefully formulated
The formation was encircled and annihilated, and the Japanese ship's escape route was indeed blocked. My wife won three three-five armor-piercing bombs in a row. She was exhausted and was hit by another torpedo.
The charge of the 533 mm torpedo in the Chinese Army was doubled compared with the German-made 45 O torpedo charge. The power of the 180 kilograms of picric acid explosive is equivalent to that of 220 kilograms of TNT. The British defense system of the Umatsu British style defense system is quite simple to protect the underwater part, and it only relies on the main armor belt that extends to two meters underwater, and there is almost no protection below. The huge impact force of the Chinese Army torpedo caused the keel of the Umatsu torpedo to cause a terrible twist and breaking sound. The entire warship trembled violently, and then disappeared on the sea like broken biscuits.
Immediately, the Cheetah and the Snow Leopard, together with a group of light warships, rushed towards the Changpan, which had already stopped flight and repairs and had rolled black smoke.
The Changpan became a slowly sinking wreckage without long resisting.
The second fleet of the former majestic Japanese Combined Fleet was left, and the only one seriously injured Asama and the Changlu, which was like a dead fish that was exiled from afar.
Although the superstructure of the Cheetah and the Snow Leopard were in a mess, the non-critical parts of the hull were in chaos, and half of the secondary turrets were damaged or malfunctioned, the warships were not fatally damaged due to the swelling and solid armored box structure and the thick Krupp armor. The two armored ships commanded the light ships and rushed towards the Asama, which barely sailed at a speed of fourteen knots.
In the Asama numeral, Tomosaburo Kato and his former navigation room were avoided

Captain Kato Tadakiyoshi Kato looked at each other in the scourge of the commander tower.
Kato Tatsuki closed his eyes in pain: "The Second Fleet, just like this... Is the dream of the empire dominating the East Asian Ocean, just like this?"
Tomosaburo Kato murmured: "The Chinese... As long as this old empire wakes up, no one in Asia will be their opponent. The destruction of the imperial navy may be in the near future. Dingji, since the Imperial Navy we fought for has come to this point today, let's work hard for the last time. The communications consultant sent the battle situation here to the headquarters and base camp of the Joint Fleet by telegram. In any case, we cannot sacrifice..."
Tadaki Kato smiled bitterly: "Senior, think about the dreams of us young people at Etashima Sea School back then, it's so exciting. Unfortunately, the unrealistic dreams of young people... are like the ephemeral."
"Transfer the order, advance at full speed, fight the decisive battle with the Chinese fleet. Play the flag, 'This ship fights to the end.'"
