Red Alert 1895

"Boom!"

With the sound of two cannon explosions, the two cannonballs exploded with huge splashes respectively. However, neither of these two shells apparently hit the enemy's warship, because neither the Taiwanese destroyer nor the Japanese warship were able to enter the state well. What's more, the artillery hit rate of this era is very low, and it is impossible to accurately hit the enemy's warship. In sea combat in this era, the hit rate of naval guns is simply a ridiculous number, so there is no need to expect how accurate they can be.

"Speed ​​up for me, then try to get close to them, and then use torpedoes to fight!" said the captain of the destroyer in Taiwan.

"Yes!"

And the Japanese captains also said: "Close to them and fight with torpedoes!"

As a destroyer, the real weapon is not the cannon on the destroyer. The real use of the destroyer is to launch torpedoes. In this era, there is no such thing as a guided missile destroyer. Destroyers in this era mainly use torpedoes for combat, followed by naval guns. The main task of the destroyer is to escort, and the daily **** can use naval guns to bully the small boats used by those pirates. But if it is a formal battle, what the destroyer really needs to use is torpedoes. Destroyers use torpedoes to make big gains, and then fight for battleships that can defeat the enemy.

The caliber of a torpedo has reached more than 400 mm, which is the only one in the **** of a scorpion. Even the artillery commonly used by battleships in this era has a caliber of only about 305 mm. All they use are armor-piercing shells. If they cannot penetrate the armor of a warship, they will naturally not be able to exert their power. The naval gun looks quite big, but in fact the charge is only a few kilograms. But the torpedoes of destroyers are not the same thing at all. The torpedo charges of destroyers are often hundreds of kilograms. Therefore, with a charge of hundreds of kilograms, there is often only one torpedo. can blow up a battleship.

The main weapons of destroyers in this era are mainly torpedoes, and the naval guns are just auxiliary, bullying some pirates at sea. Official combat is to use torpedoes to fight. The destroyer's naval guns are just tickling the enemy, in front of the armor of the enemy warship. Almost useless.

Therefore, both sides also hope to use torpedoes to fight, so that they can effectively attack the enemy.

"Get ready, advance in a zigzag way!" Said the captain of the Taiwan destroyer.

The Taiwanese destroyers also began to prepare to advance in the so-called "zigzag", constantly advancing alternately. This posture is also one of the important means to avoid enemy torpedoes and shells, which is the same as soldiers charging on land. At present, there is only one warship on both sides, so fighting is no different from infantry. But once it is in the fleet to fight, it is natural to fight in accordance with the fleet formation, and it is impossible to fight like this. So now to avoid torpedoes. Naturally, this method can greatly reduce the probability of being hit by the opponent's torpedo.

"Damn, they actually used this method to avoid our torpedoes?" the Japanese captain said angrily.

Originally, the Japanese thought that through this battleship attack, they could get a chance to launch torpedoes. However, the captain of the Taiwan Navy has obviously been prepared for a long time, and then both sides can also advance in a "zigzag" shape, so that they can also effectively avoid torpedoes. However, the captain of the Japanese warship was obviously prepared, and they all moved forward in a "zigzag" shape, which made them start to move forward, which would help them avoid enemy torpedoes.

"It seems that this foreign devil still has a few brushes, and he knows how to use this method. It seems that the torpedo is very difficult to work."

According to this "zigzag" method, it is impossible for the torpedo to hit the enemy accurately. So both sides can only fight randomly at the beginning, and neither side has any good way to deal with this opponent.

"The enemy's speed is **** knots, our speed is **** knots, our torpedo's speed is **** knots, the sea current's speed is in the northeast direction, and the speed is x meters per second. If we can launch the torpedo, it is expected to hit the enemy in one minute. " said a bridge staff officer.

The bridge staff began to quickly calculate the speed of both sides, and then estimated the so-called advance, hoping to use torpedoes to attack the enemy. But this era is just so cheating. Manpower is necessary to perform calculations, and people who are competent for such complex calculations. And the calculations are very fast, almost entirely mental calculations. This is the hardest part. He doesn't seem to be able to use a computer to calculate directly in later generations, and the calculation is fast and accurate, but this era can only be calculated by this method, which is not only slow and inefficient, but also causes a very low hit rate.

"Torpedo ready!"

"Fill the torpedo tank with water!"

"The water injection is complete, launch!"

"puff-"

With the sound of a complete engine jet, the water in the torpedo compartment was burned by the high temperature and turned into clouds of water vapor. And the water vapor began to force the torpedoes to rush forward, and the torpedoes also rushed forward under the drive of these water vapors.

But at this time, those torpedoes also had long tails behind them, and the captain of the Japanese destroyer also noticed them.

"Hmph, at such a level, it's a dream to want us to be hit!" the Japanese captain snorted.

The Japanese captain also saw the wake behind the torpedo from a long distance away. The gas ejected from behind the torpedo formed a wake. The Japanese lookouts soon saw this and reported it to the captain. .

"Stop and turn around immediately, we don't want to eat it! And, give me two torpedoes in return!" the Japanese captain said.

"Puff!"

With the sound of two jets, the Japanese torpedoes were also launched. But the Japanese torpedoes are not very good, and they were obviously avoided by Taiwan's destroyers. The torpedoes of this era are really too backward, and it is very easy to dodge them without spending much special ability.

"Damn it, this won't work, charge me, get close to them, we'll bayonet them!" the captain of the Taiwanese destroyer shouted.

"Bayonet fight?"

The captain of the Taiwanese destroyer immediately said: "Didn't the army say that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road? Since we can't defeat them with torpedoes alone, then we will rush to fight them face to face. At that time, either they will die, or they will die." We die, we must let them see our strength."

"Come on! Get close to them at full speed, and bayonet with their warship!"

The captain of the Taiwanese destroyer still has a bit of courage, and dared to "fight the bayonet" with the enemy's warship face to face. In the original history, our party's navy did not have much high-tech equipment because of its insufficient strength, and the quality of naval officers, sailors, etc. was not as good as others. In addition, naval gun shells are very scarce, and they cannot be mass-produced by themselves, and they cannot afford to be wasted. So they all invented a method of using bayonets on warships, that is, using small boats to rush over at full speed, and then approach them to fight. In this way, not only is it much closer, but the hit rate is greatly improved. For low-quality sailors, it can naturally greatly make up for the lack of ability. And once they got close, what they competed in was no longer shooting and aiming skills and various sailor tactics, but relying entirely on courage and luck. In this case, the brave wins.

Similar to this, there is also a method called the bayonet on the cannon, that is, because our party seriously lacked excellent artillery, and the shells were scarce, they could not afford to waste, so they were forced to push the cannon forward and use a straight line Aiming in the same way, the hit rate is greatly improved, which not only reduces the requirements for artillery quality, but can even save a lot of shells. But the price is that the risk is very high, and it is easy for the enemy to kill and injure the artillery on one's own side, so very brave people must be able to use this method of bayonets on cannons or bayonets on warships.

Of course, in the 21st century, the Chinese navy will not use this method anymore. Because this method can only be used when the firepower density is not enough. If it is in the era of naval battles in later generations, when various anti-ship missiles are rampant, then they can hit you at a distance of tens of kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers. So at that time, bayonets on warships were useless. The future era is no longer the era of fighting bayonets~www.readwn.com~In that era, intercontinental missiles are rampant, and even bayonets are useless, so this tactic is destined to be eliminated.

But this tactic can still be used in this era. Especially when the current firepower is not dense enough, the artillery range is not far, and the shooting accuracy is seriously insufficient, so they can still fight.

"Come on! Fight them!" Taiwan's captain shouted.

Seeing this situation, the Japanese captain said to his opponents not to be outdone: "These Chinese people dare to do this, so we don't have to be polite to them. Just charge with me and fight them! This time Either he dies, or I die! Our navy is also a brave unit, and we can completely fight them at close range. Our navy is definitely no less brave than their army."

The two destroyers from Taiwan and Japan began to speed up and rushed forward, and then they seemed to be the same as the Western knight duel mode in the past, and the two warships rushed directly. The warships of the two sides are getting closer and closer, the distance is only more than 800 meters, and both sides can almost see the behavior of the other side's sailors with binoculars.

"Launch the torpedo!" The Taiwanese captain and the Japanese captain almost shouted together. (To be continued.)
