Chapter 128 Mine Detonation
"Be defeated? How is it possible! Major General Tsukii's command ability is completely trustworthy. The guerrillas composed of the most powerful warships in the four empires will still have the power to fight even if they encounter those two ironclad ships! How long has it been since the departure...."
In the commander's room, the generals shook their heads and expressed their disbelief.
Located in Shimamura Suo was full of serious face, staring at the ground with his eyes intently for a long time. After the buzzing discussion weakened, he said firmly: "I'm afraid the First Guerrillas have failed to intercept and may even suffer a great loss!"
"Impossible! With Major General Tsukii and Colonel Togo, the First Guerrillas will never lose! At most, they did not meet them, otherwise they would at least send a message back."
Another adviser, Masato, immediately refuted because this judgment was ridiculous. The four main battleships all had a speed of more than 18 knots. When they encountered the Qing warship, they could only eat ashes.
Shimamura Suo sneered: "It's not that they didn't deliver the letter, but they couldn't deliver it back at all! Have you forgotten how the 'Yaeshan Mountain' was lost? There is another enemy in our secret! He may not dare to challenge the Imperial Navy head-on, but it's too easy to attack several communication ships!"
This reminder doesn’t matter, most people’s faces immediately changed!
Yes, they all forgot the existence of the "Ghost Ship". The guy who had at least a terrifying main gun could hide in the heavy fog and sink the only communication ship "Yaeshan" in a few minutes. The combat power of the "Yaeshan" is self-evident.
Since it was determined that he was standing on the Qing side and often moved in the Yellow Sea, who could guarantee that it would not take action this time? According to Shimamura Suo's view, it was clearly that the guy played a big role in secret. Otherwise, with the current naval equipment, it would be extremely difficult to intercept at night.
Yuki Ito was quite like a general, and he was still calm: "In this way, there must have been a fierce battle before, and time would have to be pushed forward longer. Then, we can temporarily be the first guerrilla team had an accident. Everyone, since the enemy has such strong combat power, can we still think that the main force of their ironclad ships have been dispatched?"
Chief of Staff, Masashima, looked at Shimamura with encouragement. Shimamura's staff straightened their backs and nodded deeply: "Hi! I think Lieutenant General's judgment is very accurate! Only the powerful force of the ironclad ships can force the Yoshino ships to adopt the tactic of avoidance. But we did not receive a notice from Incheon, which means they were not approaching at all!"
What does this mean? Everyone felt heavy in their hearts when they thought about it. The first guerrillas were probably more severe than they thought! Otherwise, why wouldn't they even dare to go in Incheon? They didn't send a letter?
Yuyuki Ito nodded slightly: "Oh, if that happens, we have to be careful. It's evening now. If you set out immediately, you might be able to block them in the bay at dawn."
"But... Commander!" Shimamura Soo raised his tone, "That 'ghost ship' may be lurking nearby. We will be attacked!"
Yuki Ito waved his hand easily: "It's just an attack. An enemy who dares not stand up and fights us head-on is not able to stop the advance of a large-scale fleet! Order each ship and act immediately!"
"Hayi!"
Although Shimamura Suo was anxious and worried, he was still attracted by Yuki Ito's calmness. Looking at his back, he sincerely exclaimed: "The commander's courage is really powerful and awesome!"
Chief of Staff of the Same Island Officer gently patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Then you have to perform well. As long as you can satisfy your Lieutenant General, your future will be bright! Do it well!"
"Hi! I will definitely work hard!" Shimamura Soo stood attentively, and his head was down a little hard.
None of the ships anchored in the port were completely shut down. Their furnace stewards were on duty in the boiler compartment. As soon as the order was issued, everyone immediately started to work and quickly bombarded a coal-fired boiler.
But even so, it takes at least ten minutes to meet the amount of steam required to push the warship forward. It has been a long time since the steam engine crankshaft connecting rod begins to rotate with a clang, transmitting the surging power to the spindle, and causing the propeller outside to rumble.
Yang Hao was almost asleep when he was waiting on the torpedo speedboat. Although the sea surface in summer was not too stuffy and the cool breeze kept blowing, there was a dark and silent all over the place. Looking up at the sky, there was little pollution these days, and the starry sky was extremely close, as if you could pick up a few with your hand.
Unfortunately, he did not have the kindness of a poet. He lay on the deck and looked at it for a while and felt very boring.
The monotonous waves hit the hull, like an excellent lullaby, made his eyelids dizzy and drowsy. Suddenly, Jiao Hai shouted, making him tremble in a cold war.
Back in the bridge, I found that the light spots on the radar screen began to move abnormally, and the outer guard ship clearly accelerated to patrol the outside. Yang Hao grinned and said, "The Japanese are going to get out of the hole. Very good. Prepare the mine immediately and let them taste the power of the big blow-up first!"
Such ugly words made Jiao Hai, who is well-educated, frown. It is obviously very advanced magnetic, collision, remote control of three-in-one water mine, how come it becomes that thing when it comes to your mouth? It's so vulgar!
It’s better to be uncomfortable, the work you should do cannot be delayed at all. Jiao Hai immediately greeted the sailors and prepared the huge steel "durians" from behind x201, and slowly moved forward while spreading them.
This torpedo boat is a fine product designed and manufactured by the Germans. Due to limited conditions and funds, Yang Hao cannot afford to buy the expensive advanced torpedoes in the world. He had to settle for the second best and use the modified cloth sprinkler mines and deep-water bomb functions to act as a versatile player.
The ship was loaded with six multi-functional mines, and they also found drawings in this world, produced and processed modules, and then took the arsenal in the B plane to assemble and welded it by itself. Finally, they loaded more than 100 kilograms of high-explosion drugs into it.
The structure of the mine is very classic, with the upper half covered with synaptic structures. Before going into the water, the explosion fuze and remote control tube were installed, and carefully sent into the water through a small boom. The torpedo boat sailed forward for a full mile before completely pulling the last safety through the tow rope. This is the only way to ensure that the tragedy of accidentally bombing itself will never happen.
There are not many six mines. But if the enemy's route was determined early and arranged in an interlaced manner, it would have a great effect.
When the ships of the Combined Fleet drove out of the port and turned north to accelerate, Yang Hao finally completed the mine laying on the water about 20 kilometers away from them.
The last one pulled the safety pin and the small winch dragged the wire back. Yang Hao patted his chest and took a deep breath and said, "Okay! Next, let's see which warship of the little Japanese is more lucky and will run into our mine formation. But at their speed, it will take at least half an hour... It's so fucking slow!"
Jiao Hai could only express speechlessness. No matter who it was, after driving the x201 boat and feeling the speed of up to 42 knots, he felt that it was as slow as a bull when looking at the other boats.
x201 quietly, slowly retreated and stretched farther away ten kilometers away. On the fire control screen, the wireless signals sent by the antennas on the top of the six mines flashed and prompted that they were still intact for the time being. And with other beacons spread around, it accurately showed their displacement speed and distance under the push of the ocean current.
There is no way, the things you make yourself cannot be advanced, and it is difficult to control them completely freely and accurately stay in a certain position.
Once again, the enemy situation was reported to Yang Haiwei, and Yang Hao and others quietly waited for the arrival of the Japanese ship.
Half an hour later, through the night vision telescope, the warships leading the way could be clearly discovered. The Japanese army probably learned their lesson, for fear of being attacked again, so they directly opened a two-row interlaced vertical array at the sea. Once the enemy was discovered, they could be merged into a single-line snake array in just a few minutes.
The first team is Matsushima, Chiyoda on the left; the second team is Hashita, Kazuki, and Itsuki on the right; the second guerrillas are Katsushima, Tianlong, Kaohsiung, and Yamato, which are separated from each other, and are respectively responsible for the torpedo fleet and torpedo boats, and frigate formations follow at the end and are in a position near the inner channel.
It was vast and wide, stretching out an array of several kilometers away and running forward at a speed of 12 knots. The "Katsuke" wooden cruiser that opened the way was sailed and stumbled and opened the way. In an era when the steam ironclad ships were beginning to fall behind, the existence of the ironclad ship was more like a symbol.
Captain Oda Yuki's expression was nervous, and the sweat beads on his forehead rolled down. He thought it was so hot that he didn't know. Only he knew that he was afraid!
The reputation of the "Ghost Ship" has spread, and he has heard of it when it happened in the flagship commander's room. He didn't expect that this time he would encounter such a strange opponent. This is more tormenting than fighting the Iron Crafts face to face. At least he knew that he was dead and could only make a decision.
If he died at the hands of the "ghost ship", who knows what the outcome would be? What if the soul cannot return to his hometown?
...I have to say that the Japanese are also quite superstitious. They still seem very heroic and brave when they die on the battlefield, but the boss is reluctant to die for no reason.
Yang Hao looked straight and murmured: "Even the sailboat is sent out, what do you think in your heart, little Japanese? Can this thing stand a shot? Don't waste my mines, your price is not worth it!"
It seemed that his chanting had worked. The "Gecheng" swayed and actually avoided four mines in succession. But when the fifth one arrived, it was too intimidating and hit the head upright.
"Boom!"
A large ball of fire with a diameter of over 100 meters boils the sea and the sky and pierces the night sky! (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
