Chapter 2905 The Life of Common People
And at this time.
Under the pitch-black night, Zhao Qingyu has already given himself a better vision buff.
He used his divine power to make his eyesight better so that he could see more clearly.
Even in the dark, you can see it clearly.
Moreover, he also adjusted his five senses beyond their limits.
At the same time, he also used his divine power to protect the entire destroyer.
Fortunately, the destroyer's length does not exceed 100 meters.
What's more, he was at the middle gun position of the destroyer.
If a torpedo hits nearby, it will miss the target.
The effect soon became apparent.
next moment.
A torpedo was fired at the largest transport ship among the ships.
The transport dodged clumsily.
And in the light of the fire, the captain of the destroyer saw the torpedo.
"Go cover that ship now!"
Soon the destroyer began to take advantage of its position to gain a position.
In terms of speed, torpedoes are of course faster, reaching speeds of more than 50 knots, or 200 kilometers per hour.
The destroyer only has 35 knots.
But the destroyer was closer to the transport ship.
Obviously, the brave captain wanted to use his own ship to protect the transport ship.
Zhao Qingyu knew the reason for doing this, because it was a troop transport ship.
There were as many as 5000 people, all of them wounded.
Once hit, it can be said that most people will drown.
They were already injured, and firstly they had no life jackets, and secondly they couldn't swim.
This is mainly because this destroyer happened to be in the position where the submarine attacked.
As the destroyer gradually moved towards the torpedo, the sailors were all worried.
They knew they were dead!
If you encounter a torpedo, you won’t have time to hide, you have to actively face it.
Isn't this courting death?
We can only blame the transport ship. It was too clumsy to carry too many people and cargo.
At this time, Company C's poor naval strength began to suffer in various details.
If there are many ships and they are sufficient, there will not be too many people on board, and there will be no need for the destroyers to sacrifice themselves.
Because the transport ships can avoid torpedoes by themselves.
In fact, the accuracy of torpedo attacks is very poor, especially when they are discovered.
"Prepare for impact!" a second lieutenant shouted.
They held their heads.
Everyone subconsciously prepared to jump into the sea.
But the next moment, when the torpedo was about to hit the destroyer, it seemed to hit something, suddenly tilted, and ran away with the waves while brushing the edge.
This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
No one doubts this.
They just shouted: "What luck!"
"There must have been a wave just now!"
"Yes, there was indeed a wave just now that knocked the torpedo off course," someone said.
It is actually normal for a torpedo to go off target.
When the two sides were fighting, one side fired hundreds of torpedoes, but none of them hit the target.
These are all very common things.
Because the torpedo's attack speed is slow, only 200 kilometers per hour, which is like a high-speed sports car.
In addition, there are waves on the sea, and the opponent can maneuver to dodge.
Torpedoes are relatively slow, generally around 60 knots and the highest is 80 knots.
There is still a good chance of avoiding a high-speed train traveling at 120 to 200 kilometers per hour.
After all, torpedoes are usually launched from more than ten kilometers away.
There is plenty of time left to hide.
Generally, the only way to succeed is to launch a sneak attack when the opponent isn't noticing.
At this moment, Zhao Qingyu relied on his hearing, lying on the deck, listening to the movements underwater.
Soon, he heard a subtle different sound.
Different ships have different voiceprints.
The difference in propellers can be detected from the soundprint, which can help determine what type of ship it is.
This is very important.
This is the key to distinguishing between friend and foe.
The voiceprints of submarines are all different.
This is one of the reasons why spies collect information on enemy warships.
And here, Zhao Qingyu saw another periscope.
In the dark, this is difficult to spot.
But Zhao Qingyu just happened to see it.
"Look, Captain, there's a periscope over there!"
He immediately began operating his anti-aircraft gun and fired directly at the periscope.
A string of anti-aircraft shells were fired directly.
He also increased the accuracy of his aim.
Unfortunately, it can only be accurate within 100 meters.
After exceeding 100 meters, the shells will be disturbed by the sea breeze and humidity.
At this time, the other gun positions subconsciously followed him and fired together.
This is why you must obey orders during battle.
When one person opens fire, others will often follow suit under high tension.
Even experienced teams make mistakes like this.
But this time, Zhao Qingyu hit the target accurately.
Under the attack of hundreds of shells, the opponent's periscope was damaged, and at the same time, the impact force of the shells damaged a part of the submarine's hull.
This makes it impossible to dive!
They could only surface urgently and increase their speed to try to escape.
And in this way, other people also saw it.
The destroyer Snow Mountain fired flares at that place.
It directly illuminates the nearby sea surface as if it were daytime.
In fact, it was possible to provide illumination before, but we were too busy and didn't fire the flares.
From this detail, it can also be seen that the navy of Company C lacks training and emergency preparedness.
Zhao Qingyu has already sensed this.
At this time, the submarine had been exposed.
An exposed submarine is not called a submarine, it is called a target.
For a moment, several destroyers rushed towards each other.
You can't escape by running.
An emergency dive is impossible.
The periscope was broken.
This caused them to lose the ability to attack and fight back.
The submarine had no choice but to desperately fire torpedoes at the last moment, trying to escape with the cover of torpedoes.
But this is obviously impossible.
If the other party really escaped, Zhao Qingyu would be extremely depressed.
The sailors of Company C are so incompetent.
This submarine is worth it.
After all, a transport ship was sunk.
At least we didn't let the other party escape in the chaos.
If it weren't for Zhao Qingyu, the other party would have succeeded.
That would be a real shame.
You have to know that they were escorted by destroyers, and the transport ships were sunk by submarines, and perhaps more than one ship was sunk.
This is the horror of submarine warfare.
If the opponent's sneak attack is successful, it is often difficult to stop them.
Many times, our precious transport ships were destroyed in vain by the enemy.
Thousands of tons of supplies were dumped into the sea.
That’s why they say poor countries can’t afford naval warfare.
The loss of this naval battle was that tons of gold were thrown into the sea.
Soon, a destroyer performed a meritorious service.
They approached to a distance of 3000 meters, and a shell hit the hull of the submarine. The submarine sank without any reaction.
Soon a large area of oil appeared, and it was impossible for any living people to appear.
What shocked Zhao Qingyu was that until the very end, the submarine did not raise the flag to surrender.
This made him understand the strength of the old navy.
On the way back, they were more careful.
this day.
In broad daylight, Zhao Qingyu suddenly felt something again.
He was lying on the deck and felt some unusual movements within a hundred meters.
At this moment, his superior, a second lieutenant, noticed him.
The last time, I remember it was Zhao Qingyu who made the contribution.
However, because the other party opened fire without authorization, the merits and demerits offset each other.
And now, the lieutenant noticed his talent.
"What's going on? Zhao Qingyu."
"Report to Lieutenant, I heard another submarine underwater."
"Damn it, why didn't the sonar operator report it?" The second lieutenant frowned and hurried to report to the first mate.
He had no doubt about Zhao Qingyu's ability.
He even wanted to recommend the other party to go to military school for training to become a professional sonar operator.
This sonar operator needs to undergo a lot of training and must memorize various voiceprints and skills before he can take up the job.
This is an absolutely high-tech military force that has been used until the 21st century.
Soon, the sonar operator was reminded and began to listen to the underwater movements again.
"I can't hear you. Please turn on the active sonar and check."
"Okay." The captain agreed.
Normally active sonar is not turned on.
Because once it is turned on, it means exposing your position.
However, their position should have been exposed now, so this hidden danger no longer exists.
Active sonar is terrible for submarines.
"Ao" sounds like a wolf howling or the crashing of waves. The huge sound waves of the active sonar echo in the sea.
Soon the sonar operator's face changed.
"Found!"
"There is a submarine, exactly 70 meters below us!"
“It remained silent.”
"We just passed right over it."
It can be said that if they dropped a depth charge at this moment, they would definitely be able to sink the enemy ship.
And at this time.
The captain was more cautious and wanted to force the other side to surrender.
You know, capturing a submarine can have a huge effect.
The first is that it is possible to get the code book.
If we can't get it, we can still interrogate the relevant personnel.
Soon, several destroyers began to surround the submarine.
They took turns slapping each other's hulls with active sonar.
This is simply saying: "If you don't surrender, the next moment will be depth charges!"
However, the other party kept diving and refused to surface to surrender.
It is obvious that we are going to stalemate with them.
If the stalemate lasts until night, there is a chance that the sub will escape.
"Damn it, they still won't give up!"
"Prepare to drop depth charges immediately!"
"The fixed depth is 30 meters, the fixed depth is 60 meters!"
“Bang, bang!”
As five depth charges were dropped, the submarine was crushed by the powerful underwater shock wave.
And at this time.
Not long after, a body and a large area of oil appeared on the water.
"Hahaha, it was sunk!"
When the oil floated to the surface of the water, it was obvious that the ship was sunk by a bomb.
However, Zhao Qingyu felt something was wrong.
He listened carefully and found that there were sounds underwater.
He remembered that sometimes, submarines could discharge garbage, fuel, and even the bodies of some dead sailors through their torpedo tubes to prove that they had been sunk.
And that's it now.
There was actually a dead body, which clearly showed that he was trying to cover up his guilt.
He then immediately alerted his boss.
"This must be a false illusion they created!"
"We have to bomb it several times and completely destroy the submarine to complete the mission."
However, they didn't listen to Zhao Qingyu.
“You may have good ears, but your eyes and brains are bad.”
"It must have sunk."
At this time, the active sonar searches again.
It did not find the target.
The sonar operator also reported: "The submarine was not found. It must have sunk into the deep sea."
The disadvantage of active sonar is that its detection distance is long and it is easy to expose its target.
If the submarine is too deep, it will be difficult to detect.
This is when the deep-water sonar array should be deployed.
But this time they didn't do that.
Zhao Qingyu had nothing to say. He gave them the opportunity, but they were useless!
……
Fortunately, the entire fleet returned safely to the land where Company C was located.
After returning to land, he was given a rare vacation as a reward for his meritorious service.
The captain colonel gave him a seven-day vacation and asked him to report to the military academy after the vacation to train as a sonar operator. After passing the training, he would be directly assigned to the post.
However, when Zhao Qingyu was on vacation, he used his allowance to buy some things.
As he was walking down the street, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Because the streets are full of closed stores and there is no one inside.
You can often see long queues of people in front of some purchasing points.
He immediately cursed in his heart.
"Damn it, what the hell is going on?"
"What kind of foolish behavior is this?"
"Your own people are already so poor, and you are still fighting?"
This company is ridiculous.
If we continue like this, there's no way we'll win.
He was grumbling in his heart.
He then came to a pastry shop.
This store is still open.
Just as he was about to go in, he saw an old man coming out and taking down the plaque of the pastry shop.
He also wrote a few words on it: "Prosperous shop for rent."
Haha, that’s great.
Everyone says that his shop is a prosperous shop.
The result is that “Whether a shop is popular or not, only those who rent it know.”
He said to the old man, "Grandpa, why did you close your good shop?"
The old man looked at him, then looked around, and sighed:
"What else?"
"You need sugar to make cakes, but I can't buy sugar."
“Coal and gasoline are also needed to make pastries.”
“But we can’t buy gasoline or coal.”
"What? We can't even buy coal?"
"Yes, we can't buy it. We used malt to make sugar at first, but it didn't taste good." The old man said helplessly, "Forget it, what's the point of telling you all this."
"I can't say any more. If I say any more, I'll be arrested."
It was obvious that the old man just wanted to find someone to vent his anger on.
Zhao Qingyu understood.
Obviously, these products were mass-produced and used in the military.
For example, coal was supplied to ships.
The rear began to run out of fuel.
Maybe it’s not that there is not enough space, but that the transportation capacity is occupied.
At this time, the old man couldn't help but say:
"Well, the old customers are no longer coming."
"As soon as they see where there is something to buy, they rush over and buy it all up."
"Thank God, the banknotes haven't lost value yet."
“There’s just nothing to buy.”
Zhao Qingyu shook his head.
If there is nothing, won’t the value of the banknotes depreciate?
Unless the price is restricted as above.
This is war.
The common people in the back were the most miserable, while people only saw the gunfire and smoke in the front.
