Anti-Japanese War: Red Alert Base, I am the Power

Chapter 118



120 torpedoes seem to be a lot.

On average, each battleship can get 12 torpedoes.

But in fact, many torpedoes hit the target repeatedly.

Although this is a waste, the effect is also very good.

Once hit, a battleship can basically be killed with one shot.

Under such an offensive, even if all these battleships are Yamato-class battleships, it is useless.

In the original history, the Yamato battleship was hit by 8 torpedoes, which became the main reason for its sinking.

At that time, the US military still used MK13 torpedoes, which weighed only about 900 kilograms and had a warhead charge of 182 kilograms. The

Firefish aviation-guided torpedo used by the Red Alert Naval Aviation weighed more than 3 tons.

The warhead charge reached more than 500 kilograms.

It is more than twice that of the MK13 torpedo.

Although the rocket booster and fuel agent weigh one ton.

But this destructive power is already very strong.

It is comparable to the large-caliber heavy torpedoes launched by some battleships.

Three torpedoes of this level, let alone ten, would be enough to kill the Yamato.

And for a battleship like the Nagato-class, which weighs less than 40,000 tons, it would be fatal if it was hit by just one.

I don't know if the Nagato battleship was too lucky.

A Firefish aviation-guided torpedo that escaped the net found it at a very tricky angle.

The Nagato battleship was located at the rear of the main fleet.

There were only two Fuso-class battleships behind it.

Such a position is difficult to be hit by the first round of torpedoes.

But a torpedo that ran around found it.

And this torpedo happened to be the torpedo that passed through the bottom of the Haruna battleship.

After passing through the Haruna battleship.

It was affected by the explosion and its course deviated.

And the direction of deviation happened to be the Nagato battleship.

"torpedo.....torpedo......."

Seeing the shadow rushing towards them, the Japanese sailors on the deck screamed frantically, as if their parents had died.

And the current situation is even more tragic than their parents dying.

Before the Yamato came out, the Nagato was the pride of the Japanese Navy and their spiritual pillar.

In their hearts, the Nagato is one of the most powerful battleships in the world.

And in fact, it is true.

Originally, the battleships Nagato and Mutsu were planned to be sent to the shipyard for modernization.

But because of the sudden change in the Northeast, this plan was delayed again and again.

The two battleships were also prepared to be modernized after the mission was completed.

And now it seems that the battleship Nagato may not have a chance.

This time they found the Firefish aviation-guided torpedo three kilometers away.

Admiral Kobayashi Ichizo was in the cockpit at the moment.

When he saw the torpedo coming straight at them, he shouted directly:"Full speed, half left rudder."

Fortunately, it was discovered far away, otherwise, this torpedo could really kill them.

Soon, the battleship Nagato performed a highly maneuverable evasive maneuver on the sea.

"torpedo...Torpedoes turn"

"What?"

Looking at the torpedoes that adjusted their positions as they maneuvered,

Admiral Kobayashi Ichizo was stunned.

Now he finally understood why the hit rate of these randomly dropped torpedoes was so high.

This kind of torpedo actually directly locked onto the battleship.

His face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the panic in his eyes could no longer be contained. If the

Nagato had any problems again, the Japanese Navy might really be finished.

Despite this, the battleship Nagato was still trying to dodge.

But all this was just in vain.

Before the means to interfere with it were developed, this torpedo was invincible. The two-ton Firefish air-guided torpedo currently plunged into the bottom of the stern of the port side of the battleship Nagato at a maximum speed of 40 knots per hour. The anti-torpedo armor belt did not play a big role.

Because it is fast enough and heavy enough, it can easily penetrate the anti-torpedo armor belt. When all the soldiers heard a muffled sound from the bottom of the ship, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. The Nagato did not escape after all.

"boom......."

The torpedo warhead with a charge of up to 500 kilograms exploded with a bang.

The explosion formed a huge cavity, which then exploded with a bang.

The armor was easily torn apart like thin paper, and violent energy was released crazily.

The engine room above was the first to suffer.

The violent energy, carrying a sky-high flame, tore through the armor in an instant and swept through the entire engine room.

After the steam turbine was destroyed, a large amount of high-temperature water vapor instantly diffused out.

The energy of the torpedo explosion continued to rush upwards.

The kitchen on the upper floor was also blown up in just one second.

The energy of the explosion continued to rage.

Finally, it reached the ammunition depot under the rear gun.

Although the Japanese devils' protective measures were very good.

But they could not withstand the 500-kilogram warhead attacking from the weakest bottom of the ship.

"boom....."

More violent explosions raged in the ammunition depot.

The ammunition depot began to experience intensive secondary explosions.

The violent energy was released in all directions.

Even the triple-mounted 406mm turret weighing thousands of tons was blown away.

Then the flames shot up like a volcanic eruption.

The power of the secondary explosion caused fatal damage to the battleship Nagato.

The continuous explosions directly blew a hole of tens of meters in the stern.

Basically, the battleship Nagato has been separated from the stern.

The most fatal thing is that the power of the secondary explosion directly acts on the keel.

As a result, the keel at the stern of the Nagato has begun to twist and crack.

Sinking has become inevitable. (To read the exciting novels, go to Fulu Xiaoxue.com!)

If the keel is damaged, there is no possibility of rescue.

"boom......"

The Nagato battleship had an unstable center of gravity, and the damage control was no longer effective due to the crazy backflow of seawater.

Suddenly, the battleship weighing more than 30,000 tons capsized.

It crashed into the water, creating a huge wave.[]

Then everyone watched the sea water swallow up the battleship.

It was not just the battleship that was swallowed up, but also the pride of the Japanese Navy.

After seeing this scene, all the Japanese sailors were silent. (ciab)

Despair filled everyone's heart.

The battleship Mutsu looked at the silent giant ship, and felt a sense of grief.

But they don't have to feel that way.

Because they have been targeted by the god of death.

A skilled and courageous Akula-class submarine has already targeted it.

This Akula submarine broke through their outer anti-submarine circle at a silent speed of 5 knots per hour and successfully entered the sea area where the main battleship was located.

This Akula submarine is actually not simple. This submarine once sank a Japanese battleship, the Kongo.

When the submarine commander Xiang Haiyang was the captain of the first submarine brigade, he also served as the captain of this submarine.

In the first battle with the Japanese Navy, the Kongo battleship was sunk, becoming a meritorious submarine of the navy.

The tonnage of warships and civilian ships sunk by it has exceeded 60,000 tons and is close to 70,000 tons.

It is heading for the goal of 100,000 tons.

So this time it has set its sights on the Mutsu battleship, which is of the same level as the Nagato battleship.

If it can sink it, it will steadily break through 100,000 tons.

It is a great honor to become the first submarine of the Red Alert Navy. At this moment, the Akula submarine has lurked about 5 kilometers away from the Mutsu battleship.

Less than 2 kilometers in front of it, there is also a Hyuga battleship

"Report to the captain, we have arrived at the attack position"

"Tube 1 launches Sailfish torpedo"

"Yes!"

As the No. 1 torpedo tube opened, a torpedo was released under high pressure.

Soon the engine at the tail began to work, pushing the torpedo forward.

At the tail of the torpedo, there was a wire.

This Sailfish torpedo is also a derivative of the Yu-2 torpedo, a wire-guided torpedo. The

Yu-2 torpedo is also a submarine-specific torpedo with a caliber of 533 mm, a weight of 2.5 tons, a combat charge of 500 kg, a maximum speed of 50 knots per hour, and a maximum range of 10 kilometers. The biggest advantage of the wire-guided torpedo is its high hit rate and strong anti-interference ability.

The wire can control the direction of the torpedo.

No matter how the opponent dodges, it has no effect.

Of course, the disadvantage is that the attack distance is short.

The length of the wire is only 6,000 meters in total.

If it exceeds this length, the only way is to cut off the wire to release the torpedo and let it attack in a straight-line trajectory.

It's not that I don't want to make the length of the wire longer.

6 meters is already the limit.

The most important issue is signal attenuation.

The longer the signal transmission distance, the more the signal will attenuate.

Beyond 6 kilometers, the signal will be intermittent and unstable.

However, 6 kilometers is enough for current submarines.

What's more, the power of the Yu-2 wire-guided torpedo is so great.

One can at least severely damage the opponent.

What's more, submarines have other means of finishing off the enemy.

The swordfish wire-guided torpedo quickly increased its speed to 50 knots per hour, or 92 kilometers per hour.

A 5-kilometer range only takes three or four minutes.

The opponent is firmly locked through sonar.

The Mutsu was completely unaware of the torpedo attacking them.

Even if they knew, it would be useless.

Because wire-guided torpedoes cannot be avoided with existing technology.

There is only one most effective way.

Find the submarine that launched it in advance and sink it.

But it is obvious that the Combined Fleet does not have the ability to detect the Akula submarine sailing silently.

"torpedo......"

The highly nervous Mutsu battleship spotted a high-speed black shadow under the water.

However, when they could see the black shadow, the distance was already within one or two kilometers.

It was easy to turn around as the ship was small, but it was still difficult for this kind of battleship to evade in such a short time.

However, the performance of wire-guided torpedoes was more stable than that of acoustic homing torpedoes.

No matter how they evaded, it was useless.

"Boom....."

Under the desperate look of the Japanese army, the torpedo plunged into the underwater part of the middle of the ship. The draft of the battleship Mutsu is 9 meters, and the set depth is generally about 5 meters.

The torpedo exploded under the bottom of the ship.

""It hit, Captain, it hit."

Hearing the sound coming from the sonar, the sonar operator was excited and said in a low voice.
