838 Sinking! Yamato's Elegy (5)!
The movement was like the helpless little girl who was molested. No one cared about her throat and she was yelling. She smelled of despair.
Torpedo! Three consecutive torpedoes! The torpedo that ran wildly without concealing its traces jumped from sea level and rushed straight to Yamato!
Fast! So fast! It's so crazy! It's so cruel! It's so stupid!
The Tesla torpedo, which maximizes the speed, has reached the peak of this era. The alloy shell mixed with Zhu Bin can withstand water pressure of 400 meters. The propeller produced by the madmen of the Aerospace Research Institute achieves extremely stable and uniform output. The propeller and double nozzle propulsion are propelled, even 60 knots are not the final speed. The streamlined structure alone can completely withstand a hundred knots!
Not to mention that the Yamato has lost control now, even intact, the smoke of gunpowder is everywhere from gunfire. It is very difficult to find these ghost-like guys. Sonar? It is not easy to use on the water!
Nothing was used to shout! When they discovered it, the torpedo had already rushed to the front. It was only half a minute away from the end of just one kilometer. The burning warships kept roaring and the rotating propellers were all obvious sources of signal!
Under the desperate gaze of countless Japanese soldiers, the fastest torpedo did not change at all, and hit the side armor with a straight approach of two meters deep!
The sailors watching breathed a little relieved because they believed that their warships were indestructible! The design standard was a tough shell that resisted 400 kilograms of tnt explosives! A mere torpedo happened to hit the main armor belt that could not even be bombed by shells, and there would be no problem!
But they forgot that at this time, the Yamato had been slightly tilted because of the water. The armor belt on the left was lifted up to two meters high, and the thickness of the lower part was only 300mm. Moreover, they didn't know how perverted the torpedoes came!
Armor-breaking warhead high-speed torpedo! This is the academic term for torpedo specially used to deal with steel monsters!
The sonar on the head that was sunken in the front was wrapped in a sensitive striker. The first thing that was linked was a large bowl-like conical energy-concentrating cover, which contained a highly sensitive crystalline mixed explosive. Not to mention the metal jet that exploded in an instant, it dissolved the entire elliptical head at the same time and spurted out in a fan-shaped manner. Not to mention the three or four hundred millimeters of armor. Even a one-meter-thick steel plate would still burn through!
But burning through is not the ultimate goal. Even if the torpedo's thick 533mm head can burn a large hole that is almost the same diameter that can squeeze into the thunder body. However, for a rough and thick warship, it is just a hard stab and it will not be fatal. The real fatal thing is the battle headquarters connected behind it!
Wrapped in the inner layer of the thick alloy shell is a slender steel tubular warhead. It is made of a 203mm gun barrel, and the internal charge is only 240 kilograms, which seems to be small, don't forget. This thin warhead, which is a long circle, is a very thin steel tube, when the torpedo hits the battleship violently, and the huge inertial impact, and the armor-breaking heads are shot out of the passage. The fixtures of the warhead and an extremely small explosion jet device at the tail are at the same time, pushing the slender steel tube to a speed of sound and suddenly rushing out!
The metal jet reopened the strongest armor, and the warhead successfully rushed into the weak inner cabin. The high-temperature jet had instantly heated the inside to a terrible environment of thousands of degrees. The air heated up sharply and boiled, expanding and detonating. In this case, the internal plates of the compartment had collapsed and destroyed, and the steel plates softened, and any living thing was burned directly!
The warhead rushed in smoothly, and the speed was too fast. It hit the inner partition. The partition less than 20mm could not resist the impact of steel at such a speed. It tear the hole open and penetrated it. Then, the 240 kilograms of high explosives exploded internally!
The narrow space, solid structure, and extremely high temperature create a very powerful explosion space. With the loud rumbling sound, all the high explosives exerted a terrifying power, and in an instant, the entire cabin, along with the surrounding four-sided cabins, were blown up and smashed!
The powerful explosion fireworks ran wildly along all the passages, with an explosion speed of eight or nine thousand meters in a second. The broken pieces and countless broken steel plates and melted iron all turned into extremely terrifying killer objects. Wherever they went, they were destroyed and wanted to destroy the structure of the warship!
The round and narrow spout cannot escape the damage. It was severely squeezed and damaged by the expansion workmanship of the torpedo explosion from the inside. The entire steel plate was torn off the welding joints, and even the inner keel box was severely damaged. The tearing rift became a huge wound, and the cracks of seven or eight meters were bloomed bloodily!
The heavy Yamato was suddenly raised by such a crazy explosion force, and tilted hard to the back, almost pressing the right deck directly below the sea level!
Hundreds of people who were rescued above were caught off guard and were blown up. Many people fell into the sea in a mess. What's worse was that the people working in other parts flew up and slapped hard on the outer layer of steel, smashing their muscles and bones, breaking their heads, and bleeding, and the ground was full of casualties!
The Yamato was too heavy! It tilted for a moment, and then turned back stubbornly. The thrust was pressed into the water surface. So thousands of tons of sea water finally found its entrance and poured it happily. In a blink of an eye, the amount of water poured on the right was leveled, and the whole boat miraculously restored its balance!
These are all small things. The key is that the damage of torpedo explosion is too great! It is not what they imagined, which directly explodes on the outer layer of the hull and squeezes the hull through water pressure to create damage. Instead, it is directly inside, like a fierce explosion like a high-explosive bomb, and the internal destruction is more than ten times more powerful!
The raging fire spread everywhere, and the destroyed part was close to the power cabin. The two boilers were damaged by high-temperature flames and steel jets, causing countless neat jets to rage, and burned hundreds of people in one go. The rolling smoke rushed out along the passage a hundred meters, and countless casualties were injured everywhere!
The soldiers on the entire warship lost their support for a while. Before they could recover, the second torpedo followed suit!
The difference is that the torpedo is aimed at the stern of the battleship. The working noise of the two propellers is captured and acts as a guide for the attack. After the torpedo drills in from underwater, it suddenly explodes in the place close to the root keel!
The terrible explosive force squeezes seawater to form hundreds of thousands of tons of energy. Under the physical conditions of incompressible water, the gaseous impact force is transformed into a solid liquid transmission without wasting any work at all!
Originally, the hull designed to withstand the bombardment of 400 kilograms of explosives mainly refers to the key structure of 40% armored structure, which does not include the stern without armor. Moreover, it was hit by the shells in succession. Several large holes have been torn open, and the damage caused by the explosion of this torpedo increased exponentially!
The weak shell was crushed and turned into several cracks of seven or eight meters or even longer. The two thruster transmission rods were deformed by blowing, and the reverse torque made the host inside scream on the spot. It was shining and sparks! Countless sea water rushed in, squeezing and collapsed the second layer of steel plate without hesitation, and continued to pour water!
Not only that, the power generated by the explosion was really huge. After even raising a bulge of 200 meters wide from the sea, it suddenly erupted upward! It could have soared into the sky to form a water column of three or four hundred meters or even higher, but now it was all used to tilt the battleship. The whole group raised the tail of the heavy battleship's top up, and even the propeller was lifted out of the sea!
It has to be admitted that the Japanese used up all their capital on the Yamato ship. The hull, which is seriously disproportionate in length and width, has greatly increased its ability to withstand stress. Such terrible power is just a way to make the damaged keel squeak for a while, but it does not form real complete damage. The armored box is still strong and tenacious!
No matter how many crew members were blown away and almost broke their heads, this was not the end, because the third torpedo followed!
The cracks that were exploded on the left were poured into water for one minute and leveled the warship and tilted immediately. When the internal fire and high-temperature steam were not extinguished, countless bubbles formed and rushed out of the rupture. Gululu seemed to have opened a pot. It was no problem to catch a huge figure, and it was lagging behind for a while but still did not lose its target, and then hit the door!
The tilted hull pressed the unarmored part into the water. After the torpedo hit, it was easy to bombard it without any effort. After the warhead attacked, it broke through several thin longitudinal compartments, and each floor was difficult to withstand the impact of the same speed as the bombardment of more than 30 kilometers away. After entering more than ten meters at once, it finally exploded again!
The destructive power this time was even more amazing! Because it was penetrated deep enough and was close to the deck, the explosion was squeezed and looked for the exit. Of course, it was to find wherever it was weak, and it was to impact downward, upward, and left and right!
It is hard to get past the bottom because it is armored steel up to 210mm thick, and there are thin partitions around the left and right sides. It collapses as soon as it is rushed. The second horizontal deck 20mm above is affected. After it blows up, it continues to bulge up, and the dense turrets next to the bridge are harshly raised!
The three double-equipped 127mm cannons with staggered heights were blown up and their roots were squeezed upwards. All members of the gun positions inside were killed and injured for a while!
The three-unit machine guns set up next to the edge of the deck were not much better. At the same time, they were blown up and shattered from the headquarters. The group of people were finished together and they had nowhere to escape!
The series of explosions swayed a huge warship to the left and right, floating up and down, looking like it could be done at any time. Zhu Bin was refreshed in the command room and wanted to shoot a few shots for him. But after waiting for a while, the guy was still swaying on the water safely and soundly. He poured water continuously, but there was still no sign of completely sinking. It was just that due to the imbalance, the two main turrets continued to fire after a while!
"Fuck! The Japanese are so fucking strong! They are not dead!"
Zhu Bin couldn't help but exclaim! He couldn't help but exclaim! He knew how ruthless he was in the action! From the beginning to now, the Yamato had at least fifteen shells, and at least three or four of them were high-explosive shells; plus three torpedoes, if it were a slightly less-than-slightly-stricken warship, it would have been broken up!
But the guy in front of him could still continue to fight. Even if he couldn't move, he still kept firing. This kind of tenacity was really amazing!
I have to say that the heavy weapon that the Japanese made with all their capital was really extraordinary! It would be fine if the hull was strong, and the stability and wave resistance were the best. The bridge and main turret protected by layers of armor were also very durable. So many shells were either hit directly. They could not explode! This is enough to show the excellent design!
Another thing is also explained, that is, it is not easy to kill such a guy with thick steel shells! Although the current aircraft victory has been proven extensively, when facing such a terrible battleship, the guy who can withstand heavy bombs on the horizontal deck, wants to kill him in one go without some patience and special means. It is really hard to deal with!
After calculating the accounts, Zhu Bin felt a little painful! If this continues, it would be very expensive to use shells or missiles, and even expensive torpedoes. If you want to completely blow up the warship, you will have to hit it in a few dozen times. The cycle is not only long, but it is not very suitable for your own impression. After thinking about it, he wanted to pass the Ryukyu Island Air Force Base: "Drive the bomber for me and use heavy bombs to clean up the iron coffin!"
The air force is very difficult to strike when a warship that can run around maneuver. However, when the power system is damaged and the anti-aircraft guns on the deck are basically swept away, precise bombing with high altitude is the king!
That's right, at this time, the Yamato ship was continuously exploded and most of the anti-aircraft artillery fire was swept away by continuous explosions. The remaining five tuberculosis and seven injuries were not too powerful. The resistance was just a struggle for a while. Then we have to find a way to put out the fire and prevent it from continuing to deteriorate!
The "Yingzhou" obeyed the order and let go of this dead guy, and continued to follow the two main battleships from afar and attacked the enemy.
In front, the Kunlun Mountain has completed its turn and is firing at the two front turrets of the Omi River, hitting the target continuously less than 22 kilometers!
This is not the Yamato ship with thick armor. At close range, a single high-explosive armor-piercing shot with terrifying armor-piercing ability hit the side of the bow. It cut in smoothly at a sixty-degree angle and directly hit the foundation of the turret. The explosion not only destroyed the entire turret, but also forced the hull to explode a wide crack from the unarmored place, almost unloading the entire bow!
Thanks to the thick curved armor belt in the inner layer that resisted the final puncture, it was only blown to twist and rag, and did not directly affect the ammunition depot, otherwise the entire warship would have a lot of fun!
But I couldn't stand it, and countless sea water poured into it from the bottom of the crack!
The shells hit the bridge completely shattered the main mast from the middle of the bridge. Not only did the four-sided radars explode, but they further penetrated a hole on the side of the bridge, killing and injuring hundreds of people!
Terrible hit rate! Terrible destructive power! The Omi was stunned for a moment, the front turret was destroyed, the bridge was shattered, and the rolling smoke from afar seemed hopeless from a distance.
In this way, she still rushed forward with all her might! She was not the only thing she did, but she was the shield for the Yamato ship! Only by protecting the kiri-ei warship until the end, even if it was dragged back, at least the flag would not collapse, and the imperial spirit would not collapse! This is a matter of principle!
The problem is not that simple! The reason why the Kunlun Mountains turned around and rushed straight was to intercept, divide and destroy it, so how could he easily pass the test? The battleship running at full speed reached the 33rd quarter and rushed forward fiercely, not caring whether the opponent's shells could hit him!
At the same time, the "Tianshan" also changed from a deputy to a main attacker, from the original volley to a target to a free shooting. While overtaking from behind to change positions, it successfully attracted the attention of several other enemy ships. In the fierce artillery bombardment, it calmly passed through the explosive water columns of the forest, aimed the three main guns at the third "Washington" battleship attacking on the right, and approached the bombardment!
Look at this name, it is born to be the one who is the one who is responsible for it!
Just like the Yamato, one represents the national spirit of Japan and embodies countless expectations, and the other is the identity of the founding president of the United States and the founding father of the country. Although for the US Navy, it is named after the state, but the same is true for the title of that respectable great man, it may not be related expectations!
But Zhu Bin had such a bad idea and directly dealt with that guy. What a pleasure it would be!
The "Washington" is the second North Carolina class and the last of this class. The slender hull and the evenly arranged triple main turret look full of beauty. The downside is that in order to adapt to the width of the Panama Canal, the warships had to be made too long. The keels were too long and not wide, and the stability was not as stable as those of the balanced hulls such as Yamato and Kunlun class. The armor thickness of its key defense was also pitifully less!
Suddenly, the bombarded shell exploded nearby. One of the shots successfully hit the deck and killed a double-equipped high-level dual-purpose cannon, which exploded the second chimney by the way. The terrifying destructive power made the confident Americans suddenly uneasy!
General Kimmel was also a little busy and couldn't help but urge: "Why haven't the Air Force boys arrived yet? What are they doing?!"
What are you doing? He probably didn't expect that the fighter fleet flying in the aircraft carrier behind him was in big trouble!
How could Zhu Bin leave them alone? After successful interception, the jet fighter dispatched a third twelve formations to cross the battlefield and rushed to the rear, blocking a group of enemy aircraft that took off in the air for a series of slashes. Because the battlefield was too far away and the wireless communication was interrupted, the coalition did not know how bad the battle situation was!
On the contrary, the bomber formation that took off from Ryukyu Island calmly arrived first, looking down at the striking Yamato from more than ten kilometers away. Without saying a word, he dropped the gliding guided bombs loaded with more than 2 tons of loads used to crush the bunker!
Chapter completed!
