Chapter 370 Kill Them All

Hitting a target with a direct torpedo requires aiming, but there is no aiming device on the Avenger, but the distance is less than 800 meters, and the target is a big ship like the Nisshin Maru, so there is no need for a simple aiming device. All Pavlovich had to do was aim the bow of the ship at the Nisshin Maru;

With little need for any redirection, Pavlovich immediately gave the order to continue the attack.

"Right torpedo, count down before launching, 3, 2, 1, launch!"

"Right torpedo launch!"

After Pavlovich finished counting down, the crew member responsible for launching torpedoes immediately pressed a red button. However, after pressing the button, there was no movement from the rightmost 53-39 torpedo tube on the bow deck.

"Captain, the right torpedo launcher malfunctions!"

The torpedo on the right failed to be launched. The sudden change made Gao Yang feel nervous. However, after seeing that the Nisshin Maru had not made any movements, Pavlovich calmly said in a deep voice: "The torpedo on the right, again emission."

The red button was pressed again, but there was still no movement. At this time, the crew member responsible for launching loudly said: "The right torpedo failed to launch, confirming the launch failure!"

Pavlovich shrugged and said loudly: "The first torpedo on the right has been canceled and the second torpedo on the right is ready."

Grolev had been translating Pavlovich's orders in a low voice. When he learned that one of the torpedoes had malfunctioned, Gao Yang's heart tightened more and more. Seeing that the second launch failed, Gao Yang suddenly felt something in his heart. He shouted to Pavlovich: "I'm sorry, Captain, can you let me launch the remaining torpedoes? I'm very sorry. This is very important to me."

Pavlovich, who was interrupted by Gao Yang, looked angry. But after Gao Yang finished speaking, Pavlovich's only hesitation was to agree to Gao Yang's request. After waving his hand, he said in English: "You can launch it."

Gao Yang was overjoyed and walked to the simple launch console in a few steps.

Launching a torpedo is actually a very low-tech thing, but even just pressing a button. It was enough to make Gao Yang excited.

The torpedo launching mechanism on the bow deck is connected to the cockpit. Each of the three types of six torpedoes has a button. To launch that torpedo, you only need to press the corresponding button. Matters with technical content have been assigned to the responsible person. The crew of the fish has been taken care of. There is no problem in leaving Gao Yang to do the simple task of pressing a button.

Gao Yang stood in front of the launch pad. Although it was just a randomly put together board with a few buttons on it,

Although it's just a matter of moving your fingers. At this time, Gao Yang felt blood rushing to his forehead, and there was nothing he could do. So excited.

Pavlovic took another look and saw that the Nisshin Maru was barely moving, so Pavlovic immediately said in English: "Second torpedo from the right, count down before launching, 3, 2, 1, launch!"

As soon as he heard the word launch, Gao Yang pressed the button of the right number 2 torpedo with a snap. Then, the front end of the right number 2 torpedo launch tube opened, and with a pop, a 53-65 torpedo was launched.

The 53-65 torpedo is an active and passive homing mode with wake homing and acoustic homing. In other words, this kind of fish is already a smart torpedo. It can chase the target and know how to sink the target, even if the target is It is difficult to escape the tracking of 53-65 torpedoes even if they make extensive maneuvers to avoid it.

However, the 53-65 torpedo will not turn on the automatic homing seeker until it reaches the minimum attack distance of one thousand meters. Now the Avenger is less than 800 meters away from Nisshin Maru, and the 53-65 torpedo is launched. It's just used as a direct torpedo.

The maximum speed of the 53-65 torpedo can reach 45 knots, and now the 53-65 torpedo is running at its maximum speed, dragging a long white trail towards the Nisshin Maru.

At this time, almost no one on Nisshin Marujie realized that they had been attacked. This was not surprising. You cannot expect the crew of a whaling ship to immediately make the same judgment and analysis as the crew of a warship. What's more, only three or two minutes have passed, and most people are still in shock and confusion about the sudden disappearance of the Second Shonan Maru. At this time, they can guess the reasons, including sea monsters and even They could think of whether the Second Shonan Maru had an explosion, but no one thought that it was a torpedo fired by a fishing boat not far from them.

The crew members on the deck of the Nisshin Maru shouted and ran to the starboard side, shouting loudly in confusion and mania, but no one knew what to do specifically.

The captain of the Nisshin Maru issued a rescue order, but as he looked at the empty sea in the cockpit, he didn't know who could be rescued after the rescue order was issued. The ship sank too fast. There was no time for people to understand what happened, and how could anyone escape? Second Shonan Maruji even took the boat with people, and it was almost enough to find a deep-sea salvage ship to salvage him.

The captain of Nisshin Maru is a very experienced captain. He is very familiar with the waters of the Southern Ocean. He knows that there will be a large number of whales there. He is also familiar with all the work of processing whales on board. He is an excellent ocean-going fishing vessel. The captain, however, did not know how to deal with torpedoes. In fact, even if he saw a torpedo, he would not react immediately.

I have never eaten pork, but I have also seen pigs running. Thanks to the modern and developed media, when the captain of Nisshin Maru saw the extremely fast white line on the sea, his subconscious reaction was that it was a torpedo, but his Reason told him, how could there be a torpedo in the Southern Ocean, where warships rarely came? How could it be a torpedo? But this time, his reason and experience misled him.

Just when the captain was still staring at the white line and trying to tell himself that it was not a torpedo, his first mate yelled at the side: "A torpedo, that's a torpedo, turn left and move forward at full speed!" "

While the first mate was so frightened that he shouted to move forward at full speed, the captain of Nisshin Maru muttered to himself: "Nani? How could this be a torpedo? How could there be a torpedo here? Are you kidding? Really, there's no war going on here. How could it be a torpedo? But it really looks like it. How could this be a torpedo?"

"Torpedoes. Really torpedoes!"

"We are under attack, run!"

"But where to run?"

The Nisshin Maru has the largest crew, and they are all processing the hunted whales on the deck, and are driving away the Polar Dawn next to it, so there are many crew members on the deck. At this time, the crew members gathered on the starboard side After several crew members shouted about torpedoes. All the crew members were making a fuss and shouting, and then they ran from the starboard side to the port side of the ship. This was the limit of their escape.

When the first mate of the Nisshin Maru gave the order for evasive action, the torpedo was only about 300 meters away from the Nisshin Maru. If the Nisshin Maru was a car, it would be easy to dodge it, but it is a pity. Nisshin Maru is a large ship with a displacement of 8,000 tons and is traveling at a speed of two to three knots. If Nisshin Maru could still escape in this situation, then the laws of physics in this world would have to be rewritten.

The captain of Nisshin Maru felt a sudden shock on the deck under his feet, and then he fell backwards. When he was knocked to the ground with blood all over his head and lying dazed on the ground, the only thought in his mind was: "Is it really a torpedo?"

The first mate performed more competently than the captain. He had already firmly grasped the fixed chair, so he was not shaken to the ground. At this time, he grabbed the broadcast microphone and shouted at the top of his lungs: "We are under attack." Attack, everyone abandon ship, abandon ship immediately.”

The first mate knew that the ship was about to sink. After passing the captain and immediately giving the order to abandon the ship, the first mate immediately grabbed the radio microphone and shouted: "We have been attacked by a torpedo, the ship is sinking immediately, rescue, rescue!" "

Gao Yang watched as the 53-65 torpedo plunged into the Nisshin Maru near the stern and exploded. First there was a flash of light, then a ripple, followed by a column of water rising into the sky. Finally, he heard a deafening explosion. .

The total weight of the 53-65 torpedo is 2.1 tons, and the warhead alone weighs 400 kilograms. One such torpedo can cause a warship of 10,000 tons or more to lose its combat effectiveness or even sink it.

The power of torpedoes is much greater than that of anti-ship missiles. This is because torpedoes directly attack the part below the waterline of the ship, and water is almost incompressible, so the power of the explosion of the torpedo warhead will be directly affected by the water. On the hull of the ship, even if it did not hit the hull directly, a close-range explosion would be enough to sink a large ship.

The Nisshin Maru was a direct hit, so there is no doubt that it will sink. However, the Nisshin Maru is still a big ship after all. Although it was a direct hit, the Nisshin Maru was not broken like the Second Shonan Maru. It took two sections, and although it was destined to sink, it could at least hold on for a while.

A large hole was blown out in the middle of the Nisshin Maru, and seawater quickly poured into the cabin from the big hole. The stern of the Nisshin Maru sank rapidly, and the bow slowly began to tilt upward.

The Nissin Pill was about to sink. At this time, Pavlovich looked at Gao Yang. Gao Yang waved his hand and said with a ferocious expression: "Continue, continue to attack, no one can be let go, no ship can escape! "

At this time, Uli Yangke said urgently: "Be careful not to accidentally damage the Polar Dawn. We only attack Japanese ships, and we must not accidentally damage the Polar Dawn."

Pavlovich nodded, reached out and turned on the radio. Then, a repeated and rapid shouting came from the microphone adjusted to the public frequency.

"This is the Polar Dawn, stop attacking! What are you doing! God, what happened! Please answer the Shunli, this is the Polar Dawn, what are you doing!"

Pavlovich ignored the call of the Polar Dawn and grabbed the microphone. Ulyanko grabbed Pavlovich's hand, stopped Pavlovich's move, and then walked away from the captain. After picking up something like a mobile phone from the console, he said urgently: "You forgot the voice changer, put this in front of your mouth before you speak."

Pavlovich shrugged, put the voice changer in front of his mouth with one hand, grabbed the radio microphone with the other, and said loudly: "Warning, Polar Dawn, leave immediately, otherwise you will be sunk, I repeat "Polar Dawn, please leave immediately, otherwise you will be sunk immediately. Give you two minutes, and I will launch an attack immediately after two minutes." (To be continued...)
