229 Intercept torpedoes
229 Intercepting the torpedo
Intercepting torpedoes from frigates can only be seen, but not rely on various advanced equipment. This requires that the personnel who control firepower must be experienced in order to hit the torpedo.
Since the torpedo is traveling at high speed underwater, it only floats a few meters underwater when it is about to approach the destroyer. At this time, people can only see the water flow it drives when it is traveling.
The personnel who control the firepower can only intercept the torpedo by firing fire directly in front of the torpedo and firing in advance.
This interception method is simple, but it is not easy, because the frigate must also be connected with the command center to convey the forward movement and information of the torpedo at any time, so as not to miss the best opportunity.
If there were naval officers and soldiers on the destroyer at this time, it would be easier for them to intercept torpedoes themselves. Unfortunately, there were only a few people on the destroyer at this time, and they were not able to operate close-defense guns.
The anti-submarine helicopters on the frigate also took off from the deck and joined the interception mission.
The advantages of helicopters are also obvious. They have a better field of view in the air and can clearly see torpedoes traveling in shallow waters. However, they do not have many anti-torpedo methods. Anti-submarine rockets are a little slow and may not be able to intercept torpedoes with not too low speeds.
The most important thing is that helicopters can only fire when the torpedo is about to attack the destroyer and float, which is another matter of timing.
However, one more method can reduce the chance of destroyers being hit, so the helicopters kept hovering at sea, waiting for the moment when the torpedo appear.
Zhuo Ziqiang had nothing to do at this time, because there were only two torpedo launch tubes. In addition to the two in the launch tubes, only four were placed in the warehouse. A total of six torpedoes were all launched. He was just watching the jokes of the Americans below.
The United States has great achievements and is used to being attacked by sneak attacks. Their military industry is extremely developed and warships can be rebuilt. Anyway, there is too much money!
In fact, it is not impossible for him to fire a few more torpedoes, because the torpedoes can be exchanged with energy at any time. However, he thought about it, launching six is not a small amount, at least the actions in this base have achieved the expected goal.
Even if the four torpedoes below were all intercepted and destroyed by the United States, it could blow up the two of their attacking nuclear submarines, which would be a great victory.
Not to mention the high cost of nuclear submarines, just talking about the nuclear radiation caused by the nuclear submarines being destroyed is enough for them to work hard for a while.
If the disposal is not done properly, the Yokosuka military base is likely to have to be moved to another place due to the explosion of these two nuclear submarines.
If the Americans were smart enough, they would definitely know what the reason for the sneak attack was.
In today's world, no country dares to do such a thing to the United States.
It is not sixty or seventy years ago. During World War II, Japan sneaked into Mi*** Port. That was because Japan was blinded by the victory in Asia and thought that the army of the Great Japanese Empire was invincible, so it sneaked into Mi Port and brought them into the abyss.
Now the United States is at its peak. Whether it is economic or military, it can completely confront more than half of the countries in the world. Under such circumstances, who dares to attack their military bases?
However, this kind of thing did happen, and they would definitely think seriously about who did it.
Just yesterday, American warships appeared in the South China Sea. They seemed to be trying to create some conspiracy. A day later, their military base was attacked. The Americans are not fools, and they will definitely think of the connection.
This is Zhuo Ziqiang's purpose.
Of course, at present, the United States may not have any measures.
It is impossible to say that their base was just sneak attacked, and in a blink of an eye, their government issued a statement saying that the South China Sea is the inherent territorial waters of the Great Xia Kingdom, and the United States has no intention of having greater misunderstandings with China in the South China Sea.
In that case, anyone can smell the smell: it turns out that the United States has surrendered with the white flag!
So the United States will definitely not make any moves for the time being, which gave Zhuo Ziqiang a reason, and it would be natural for him to take action again.
This time when Zhuo Ziqiang came to Japan, he would have to attack at least two American military bases, so he had to force them to say something to surrender.
Zhuo Ziqiang is not a master of lamp pulling. He only did it once and never had a chance to take action.
The super-strong performance of the Longyun can give Zhuo Ziqiang almost unlimited endurance. Whether it is to attack American maritime targets or ground targets, it is easy.
But there is a preface here, that is, you must never act emotionally. Zhuo Ziqiang will not do anything like stealing chickens and losing rice.
The Americans are also very wise. If they set a trap for Zhuo Ziqiang to wait for him to take the bait, they also need to be vigilant.
When Zhuo Ziqiang was already considering the next scene, the tension in the US base military port also reached its peak.
"Discover the target! The torpedo has appeared!" Many units made the same sound.
Both the command center of the base and the frigate immediately began to issue interception orders.
The six-barrel 20mm "intensive array" short-range cannons on the Perry-class frigate began to roar, and a series of flames formed a small fan shape, forming a tight barrier between the torpedo and the destroyer.
The 20mm "Dense Array" short-range anti-aircraft gun has a range of 1.5km and a fire rate of 4,500 rounds per minute. After a comparison, 75 rounds of shells can be fired in one second. This is truly a rain of bullets!
The main task of the "intensive array" close-defense artillery is to intercept missiles. Many military experts have previously believed that it is the most ideal weapon for terminal interception, and the interception success rate of missiles can reach more than 90%.
However, a few years ago, an Israeli frigate was hit by the C-802 missile produced by the Daxia Kingdom. It was equipped with a "intensive array" on it, but it did not successfully intercept the anti-ship missile produced by the Daxia Kingdom, which shows that its practical combat capability is not as powerful as people praise it.
Furthermore, air missiles and torpedoes under the water are different. Using these weapons to intercept air targets to deal with torpedoes in the water is inherently inadequate.
Underwater torpedoes, due to the refractive principle of light, the position seen by the eyes still have a certain deviation from the real position of the object, which requires accurate calculations to obtain the correct data. However, under the current situation, no one can calculate where the real position of the torpedo is in such a short time.
