Chapter 1125: Broken Body
The three guided-missile destroyers of Dalian, Nanchang, and Chengdu are like the Three Musketeers on the ocean, following the Kikusui Special Forces in an arrow shape.
There are four other submarines besides the Jiayuguan below the surface.
The submarine's mission is mainly to track, monitor and ensure the safety of the guided missile destroyer, and will not participate in the attack on the Musashi.
The main purpose of this sortie is to test the combat performance of the Haiying-1 anti-ship missile, explore new ship-to-ship combat methods, and improve relevant naval strategic and tactical theories.
As the battlefield commander, Liu Yutang has the right to decide the time to launch the attack.
The Dalian ship is in front of the three ships and is the sharpest part of the arrow.
After receiving the attack order, the Dalian ship's combat radar was turned on at full power and quickly captured the target.
Under repeated scanning by the radar, data such as the orientation, distance, and course of the Chaoshuang were quickly transmitted back to the Dalian ship's combat command room.
Relying on the most advanced electronic computer technology, these data are quickly converted into missile firing parameters.
The Chaoshuang was within the shooting sector of the Dalian ship's Haiying-1 missile, and the computer judged that the shooting conditions were mature.
All data is aggregated to the missile command console.
The command console uses the obtained data to quickly calculate the appropriate starting distance of the terminal guidance radar after the missile is ignited and lifted off.
All shooting conditions are mature. The fire control officers and soldiers on the Dalian ship only need to press the ignition button and the missile will take off. Everything will be controlled by the computer.
At 2:08 pm, the captain of the Dalian ship calmly gave the order to light the ship.
The fire control officer subconsciously pressed the ignition button, and two Haiying-1 anti-ship missiles took off from the front deck of the Dalian ship. White smoke enveloped the sight of the officers and soldiers.
All the naval officers and soldiers involved in the operation, including the commander-in-chief Liu Yutang and the captain of the Dalian ship, could not see anything strange on their faces, but they were actually worried and nervous in their hearts.
Seahawk 1's first actual combat, what is the effect? They are not sure.
Some scientific researchers from the Academy of Military Sciences were also on the warship. They behaved very calmly and calmly, even a little like nerds. They only focused on recording data and did not care about the mentality of the people around them.
China's two major expeditionary fleets have been equipped with missiles, but those missiles are very different from the currently launched Haiying 1.
The biggest differences are in the fire control system and terminal guidance.
This is the core and most critical technology of anti-ship missiles.
Many people's eyes followed the two Haiying-1 anti-ship missiles that were fired, and they involuntarily tightened the muscles in their bodies.
The destroyer's boiler malfunctioned, causing the warship's power to continue to decrease. If it cannot be repaired in time, it is likely to anchor on the spot.
The fanatical soldiers on the warship watched the Musashi sailing through the waves amidst bombardments from enemy planes and attacks from countless torpedoes. They watched their colleagues excitedly shoot down enemy planes. They could only shake their heads and sigh with envy from afar.
All eyes were on the Musashi, and Commander Kojima, the captain of the destroyer Asashiro, felt that he was isolated and ignored.
Although the Asashiro is not as tall and powerful as the Musashi, the flag of the Imperial Japanese Navy is also flying on the warship. Why can't the enemy see it?
The biggest advantage of the destroyer is its high maneuverability, but the Chaoshuang has gradually lost its power.
At this time, I am afraid of being attacked, but if the enemy does not come to attack me, I feel empty.
Sometimes you are so mean!
On the destroyer Chaoshuang, a large number of engineering and maintenance personnel are busy making repairs.
The remaining soldiers crowded on the deck, looking at the Musashi and other destroyers getting further and further away with mixed emotions.
None of the 326 little devils on the Chaoshuang noticed that two missiles were skimming the sea.
Twenty-five seconds after Haiying No. 1 was ignited and lifted off, the radar on the front end of the missile was turned on, automatically began to search for targets, and soon locked onto the slowly advancing Chaoshuang.
The missile control console on the Dalian ship received the message simultaneously!
"The missile's flight attitude is normal, the radar is locked on the target, and the terminal infrared guidance has been turned on!"
The controller's reporting voice was exactly the same as during training, sonorous and powerful.
"Hit the target in 10 seconds!"
"Nine...eight...seven..."
The little devils on board the Asaka were all attracted by the shocking scene ahead, and no one noticed the missiles coming from behind.
"Three...two...one!"
Two Haiying-1 missiles hit the starboard side of the Asoshuang within 0.5 seconds of each other.
The missile hit the waterline of the warship and entered it, easily breaking through the Chaoshuang's side armor. Its momentum continued unabated and it penetrated directly into the interior of the warship.
The maintenance personnel who were "watching the show" on the deck and in the cabin were suddenly frightened, and many people were knocked down by the huge impact.
"Dang Dang Dang..."
The two missiles injected into the Asoshuang did not explode immediately.
After penetrating armor and multiple layers of steel, one missile got stuck next to the boiler room, and the other missile was close to the ammunition bay.
Before the missile exploded, turbulent seawater poured in from the huge gap near the waterline.
The hull began to tilt to one side.
"Buzz buzz......"
More than 20 Japs who were repairing the boiler room stared dumbly at the semi-armor-piercing projectile that was so close to them. They heard a low hum from the projectile.
Everyone did not dare to move and remained in the original position, as if they were petrified, and even stopped breathing.
Some people are holding iron pliers, some are holding lubricants, and some are supporting each other...
"bite!"
The delay fuse had reached its end, and the dozens of little devils that were so close had no time to escape.
"boom!"
The high-energy explosives in the Seahawk 1 warhead released huge energy and flames, instantly vaporizing more than 20 little devils on the spot.
The huge energy continued to spread outward, and the entire boiler warehouse was exploded.
The huge chimney at the top was poured back by the shock wave and energy, ruptured directly, and fell to one side.
Commander Kojima, the captain of the Asashiro ship, held on to the bridge with both hands. The moment the missile broke into the ship, everyone turned their attention away from the battlefield ahead, waiting for the explosion to strike.
Most of the little Japanese aboard the Chaoshuang thought they were being attacked by a torpedo, and were extremely frightened.
Sea water poured in, the explosion in the boiler room knocked down the chimney, and the warship gradually lost control.
When the second Seahawk One exploded near the ammunition magazine, the warship was on the verge of disintegration.
After the huge shock, Lieutenant Colonel Kojima was shocked and his eyes were filled with stars. Before his brain could fully wake up, he shouted an order:
"Close all watertight compartments and torpedo compartments, act quickly!"
The most important task at the moment is to prevent the intrusion of sea water, otherwise the warship will sink soon.
The island soon received a frightening report from the soldiers. The bomb had penetrated the multi-layered watertight compartment and torpedo compartment, and could no longer prevent the surging seawater from pouring into the warship.
The fire continued to spread, and at the same time it was still burning various artillery shells in the ammunition magazine.
The ammunition compartment may explode at any time!
Commander Kojima roared helplessly, and then gave the order to abandon the ship.
There were a total of 326 little devils on the Chaoshuang, and nearly half of them died in the explosion and seawater intrusion.
Some others jumped into the sea to escape before the order to abandon ship was given.
Death immediately and waiting to die are two different things. Many people can accept the former, but they cannot bear the pain of waiting to die.
Lieutenant Colonel Kojima also left his Asashiro!
From beginning to end, Kojima believed that the attack on his warship was an elusive submarine.
I have never associated it with missiles.
