All-people naval warfare: from patrol boats to aircraft carrier fleets

In fact, there was no role for the Changning. Not to mention that he had successfully sunk a pirate destroyer, the Dongyang. Luo Mingxuan, who had been holding his breath but had not yet achieved any results, was completely furious now.

Although he was forced to join the pirate force camp, Luo Mingxuan had been among the pirates for so long, and he also took the position of captain of a heavy cruiser. He was also able to command a small fleet to guard resource points. Such a character would What a simple character.

The New Orleans-class heavy cruiser under his feet was no stranger to Luo Mingxuan, and he was even more familiar with it than Lin Luzhong. However, the crew under him were not his old subordinates at all. They had just formed the army. Where is the tacit cooperation?

Under this situation, Luo Mingxuan was very capable, but in terms of the performance attributes of the ship, he could only make a fool of himself, unable to bring out the most powerful combat power of the Wusu.

Seeing that he was lagging far behind, Luo Mingxuan's violent pirate character hidden under his original personality finally broke out. With an order, the Wusu moved forward rapidly at a high speed of 32 knots. In just a few moments, it would be with the man who was fighting. The distance between the two pirate destroyers has shortened to about 5 kilometers.

With such a short engagement distance, the Wusu's ferocious firepower advantage was brought into full play, even though there was no fire control system, no auxiliary aiming equipment, and the tacit understanding of the gun crew members was not high.

However, the hit rate of the three triple-mounted 203mm guns on the Wusu instantly doubled, and shells continued to fall on the pirate destroyer's hull.

Even an intact Benson-class destroyer could only withstand 10 rounds of 203mm naval gun shells with an explosive power of 110. This pirate destroyer had already lost one-third of its armor value. During the artillery battle, it was also hit by several artillery shells, and the remaining armor value was low.

Encountered a close-range artillery attack by the heavy cruiser Wusu commanded by the lunatic Luo Mingxuan. In less than three minutes, several shells violently exploded on the battleship's hull. The remaining armor value was quickly completely emptied and it sank. In the sea.

However, Luo Mingxuan, stimulated by Lin Luzhong, used such crazy tactics, which also brought bad consequences. Before the pirate destroyer sank, he actually launched a torpedo attack.

In a short distance of 5 kilometers, five torpedoes distributed in a fan shape flew towards the heavy cruiser Wusu at a speed of more than 40 knots. Although the lookout on the Wusu was very powerful, they discovered the torpedo attack in time, and The news was reported to the bridge as soon as possible, but it still left the Wusu in a panic.

After all, the distance between the warships of both sides is very close. Although the hit rate of ship-based torpedoes is not as high as that of aviation torpedoes, at this distance, the hit rate is not low.

The driver of the Wusu tried his best to twist the rudder, adjust the direction of the Wusu, and perform an emergency evasion. At the same time, the 26 single-barreled 20mm cannons on the Wusu that were originally used for air defense roared. A large number of A dense rain of bullets poured out, and they fired wildly at the sea surface, trying to directly explode the torpedoes under the sea surface.

Not only that, even the six quadruple-mounted 40mm air cannons that are also used for air defense are constantly spitting out tongues of fire. If the rate of fire is not lower, they will be of little use against high-speed torpedoes. I am afraid that even the eight single-mounted cannons will The 127(chcd)mm gun will join the battle.

This crazy strafing cannot be said to be useless, but it does not have much effect. After all, the Benson-class destroyers use MK15 torpedoes. Regardless of the power of this torpedo, it can remain within 6 kilometers. Speed ​​of 45 knots.

It will then be reduced to a speed of about 27 knots, and the maximum range can exceed 10 kilometers. This is naturally not as good as the Type 93 oxygen torpedo, but for the Wusu, which is less than 5 kilometers, it is already a considerable threat.

It's just that the pirates were in a hurry and fired all five torpedoes in the torpedo tube at one go. The hit rate was actually lower than normal. Moreover, the pilot of the Wusu tried his best to avoid it. In the end, two torpedoes hit the target. The Wusu passed by and failed to hit.

Under the frenzied firing of the Wusu's large number of machine guns, two torpedoes were detonated in advance, the nearest one of which was only a few hundred meters away from the Wusu.

Under the violent explosion, a large amount of seawater splashed out, and the waves formed caused the Wusu, with a full load displacement of more than 12,000 tons, to shake violently.

As for the last 533mm diameter torpedo, it finally succeeded in breaking through the fire interception of the Wusu and hit the side of the Wusu, blasting a big hole near the waterline.

After a loud noise, Luo Mingxuan's face suddenly darkened. He was a battle-hardened lieutenant commander. To a certain extent, he was more experienced in naval battles in the world of navigation than Lin Yongsheng, Deng Shichang and others who had just joined the Chinese fleet. People need to be familiar with it.

Even Lütjens and Ramsey, who have higher military ranks, are inferior. After all, these two have never participated in a large-scale decisive battle between main fleets in the world of navigation.

It was a huge humiliation to command a heavy cruiser to attack a damaged destroyer, but to be hit by a torpedo launched by the other party.

Luo Mingxuan, in particular, had already reacted at the moment of the explosion. He was eager to achieve success and was too impatient, especially when he was stimulated by Lin Luzhong, who was also the captain of the heavy cruiser and was one level lower in military rank. He lost his reason and caution and rashly shortened the fighting distance, giving the opponent a chance to counterattack.

With such damage to the Wusu, the success of successfully sinking a pirate destroyer will naturally be greatly reduced. If not, it may even be blamed. It is simply stealing the chicken but losing the rice.

Moreover, the Dongyang and Changning moved quickly enough. By the time Luo Mingxuan ordered to inspect the damage to the battleships, the battle there was already over, under the joint attack of a heavy cruiser and a Fletcher-class destroyer. , how can a damaged Benson-class destroyer be able to withstand it?

Without even a decent counterattack, they were sent into the cold sea by 203mm.127mm diameter artillery shells. Dongyang and Changning were only slightly damaged, which was much better than Wusu..

By the time the main fleet that followed slowly arrived at the battlefield, the battle was already over, but Ye Bai's face was not pretty, because through the contents of the messages sent by several captains about the battle process, Luo Mingxuan was obviously Made a low-level mistake of underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly.

As a naval lieutenant colonel who has served in both the Aboriginal fleet and the pirate fleet, this should not be his ability and performance at all. Such low-level mistakes should not happen to him, and he is not a novice.

What makes Ye Bai even more unacceptable is that he has just handed one of the only two heavy cruisers in the entire fleet into his hands regardless of past suspicions, allowing him to transform from a prisoner to a prisoner. The captain of a heavy cruiser can be said to have reached the sky in one step, but this guy immediately took advantage of him.

What does this mean? It is clear that he wants to slap himself in the face. He wants to tell the whole fleet that as the commander of the fleet, he, Ye Bai, has no knowledge of people and appointed such an incompetent captain? (For more information, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Ye Bai was so angry. If he hadn't known that the system would not make mistakes in this kind of thing, he would have been suspicious of Lieutenant Colonel Luo Mingxuan. Is the military rank fake? It's too watery.

If not for the unanimous persuasion of Lütjens and Ramsey, Ye Bai would really have ordered the removal of this guy from his post as captain of the Wusu. However, Ye Bai, who had an evil fire in his heart, still punished Luo Mingxuan, three times. Months of military pay.

Such a punishment may not seem heavy, but don't forget that Luo Mingxuan has just joined the Chinese fleet. He was a pirate prisoner before and didn't have a penny in his pocket. Of course it doesn't matter at ordinary times. After all, as a combatant, Ye Bai is Food and accommodation included.

But in the next three months, Luo Mingxuan will not have to worry about food and drink, and will not have to worry about starving to death, but he will not see a dime of money. It is simply wishful thinking to go to the small space in the logistics cabin to drink some wine and relax. , you can’t go whoring for nothing.

After the rules of the great maritime world were changed and all combatants and staff were required to receive corresponding salaries, Ye Bai changed the rules of the small space in the logistics cabin and implemented the privatization system with a wave of his hand.

People who work in various factories, government agencies, scientific research centers and mines naturally need to be paid their salaries on time, and even farmers also receive wages.

But correspondingly, all the output in the logistics cabin belongs to Ye Bai. Whatever these subordinates want to obtain, they also need to spend money. Ye Bai only guarantees their basic food and accommodation. If he wants to live a better life, For a better life, they have to rely on themselves.

Having seen the magic of the small space in the logistics cabin and understanding the system of the Chinese fleet, Luo Mingxuan's already blue face turned a little darker. It was really uncomfortable not being able to improve his life and relax for three months.

After all, he is different from other officers. Firstly, he has no savings. Secondly, he has been in the pirate fleet for a long time. He is used to living a good life of big fish and meat. Now he suddenly cannot enjoy life again. It will take a while. Time to adapt.

As the saying goes,"It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality." This sentence is the best explanation for Luo Mingxuan.

If Luo Mingxuan could still force Luo Mingxuan to endure due to his appetite and physical and mental relaxation, then Ye Bai informed the entire fleet of his punishment decision, which was a bit sad and he couldn't afford to lose face.

Of course Luo Mingxuan will not bear grudges against Ye Bai. After all, it was indeed his fault this time. This kind of thing cannot be hidden from anyone. The big hole near the waterline armor of the Wusu can be seen by anyone who is not blind. The gain and loss are just The hull of the ship was damaged, but there were no casualties in terms of personnel. Otherwise, it would be more than just three months without military pay..
