Chapter 1225 Attacking the Tanker

Seeing this unexpected target, Ye Tian opened his eyes wide.

At the same time, Ye Tian's expression was extremely colorful.

Ye Tian never expected that his luck would be so good that he would encounter such a good thing.

What I have to say is that this unexpected target is not food.

In fact, after working for a long time, Ye Tian caught a lot in terms of food.

Among them, Ye Tian's favorite is the big lobster.

After catching so many big lobsters, Ye Tian knew that he would not be short of this delicious food for a long time to come.

In a hurry, Ye Tian placed the big lobster in the living area of ​​the storage space.

This large lobster is about 30 centimeters long and weighs about three and a half kilograms.

Throughout the whole process, Ye Tian kept his eyes fixed on this big goal.

This big target is none other than an oil tanker!

This oil tanker is sailing from south to north.

Its goal is the base camp of the island country.

Right now, the battle to defend Nanjing is about to begin.

At that time, just like in the Battle of Songhu, the island country will have to rely on the navy's various large-caliber naval guns and various carrier-based aircraft.

In addition, the Army's various weapons and equipment, trucks, etc., especially the Army Aviation aircraft, are large consumers of fuel.

After transporting the crude oil back to the island country, the relevant departments will refine it and provide it to these troops.

Familiar with the history of the Anti-Japanese War and the resource situation of the island country, Ye Tian knew one thing very well.

These crude oils were bought by island countries in Southeast Asia at high prices.

The reason is simple: island countries seriously lack this resource.

Nowadays, it is the period of the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance, and the island countries are in urgent need.

The most important thing is that island countries have always had the ambition to dominate the world.

In other words, the island country wants to attack the whole world.

Therefore, island countries want to find ways to hoard more crude oil before this happens.

What I have to say is that it was precisely because Southeast Asia was rich in oil resources that the island country came up with a bad idea.

In fact, this bad idea also comes from the bad nature of the island country to bully the weak and fear the strong, and like to take advantage of others.

In a word, island countries like resources, but they are not willing to spend money to buy them.

Therefore, island countries go around bullying smaller countries.

Even after thinking that they were powerful, the island country dared to challenge powerful countries.

What I have to say is that according to the bad nature of island countries, when they challenge other countries, especially powerful countries, they always like to go to war without declaring it.

In other words, the island country is most notorious for its love of sneak attacks.

Moreover, after a successful sneak attack, they will pretend to declare war on the target country.

This bad idea of ​​the island country is none other than a sneak attack on the Pearl Harbor naval base established by Citigroup in the Hawaiian Islands.

The island country has very deep intentions in doing this.

The purpose of their sneak attack on Pearl Harbor was to destroy Citigroup's Pacific Fleet, thereby reducing the island country's resistance to the attack on Southeast Asia, and ultimately seizing Southeast Asia's oil fields.

It was precisely because of this bad idea that Citigroup was involved in World War II.

The most important thing is that this obscene action by the island country has accelerated the pace of their destruction.

"hey-hey……"

Thinking about this and looking at this giant oil tanker, Ye Tian was very happy.

The distance is 20 nautical miles and the tanker's speed is very slow.

Those responsible for escorting are all small warships, such as patrol boats, torpedo boats, etc.

In other words, there are no large or medium-sized battleships, aircraft carriers, cruisers, or destroyers.

! !

In this situation, without hesitation, Ye Tian made up his mind.

Destroy this oil tanker immediately to better participate in the cause of the Anti-Japanese War.

Without hesitation, Ye Tian quickly ran towards the large oil tanker.

However, immediately after, Ye Tian fell into the trouble of happiness.

The reason is simple. In order to prevent crude oil from leaking and causing fires, especially explosions, the hulls of oil tankers are mostly very strong.

Otherwise, once an explosion occurs, the consequences will be disastrous.

By then, the entire ship will be blown to pieces.

Not to mention, there will be a huge fire.

Moreover, the big bang will continue for many days.

Therefore, to a certain extent, the defensive capabilities of tankers are no less than those of battleships, which are known for their strong ships and powerful guns.

Specifically, almost all oil tankers have two layers of hull.

In fact, the outer hull alone can easily withstand artillery fire with a caliber of less than 150 mm.

The outer hull was penetrated, but the inner hull could still protect the entire ship.

Even if you want to use large-caliber naval guns to bombard it, if you want to sink it or detonate it, you have to focus on a point on the side of the ship.

what to do?

In view of the fact that the cruise ship's defense capability was too strong, Ye Tian frowned and kept thinking quickly in order to make things better.

Ten minutes later, Ye Tian had an idea and thought of a good idea.

If you think of it, do it!

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian became busy.

With a thought, Ye Tian came to the storage space arsenal area.

Time is tight and the task is heavy.

Without having time to exchange pleasantries with these technical experts, Ye Tian directly issued the order.

Immediately, quickly, modify the two large torpedoes that have been made.

To be precise, transform their fuses.

Prior to this, fuses were magnetic.

That is to say, when the torpedo moves forward, it will actively suck over large pieces of steel, causing an explosion.

However, during World War II, magnetic fuses were generally not very reliable.

Even if it was sucked onto a large ship, the torpedo often did not explode.

Of course, the probability of this happening is not very high.

However, Ye Tian had to do this just in case.

Ye Tian ordered the dead soldiers to replace the magnetic fuse with a contact fuse.

Doing so can ensure that the torpedo can hit the giant tanker.

According to the normal way, the torpedo should be launched by a submarine.

In addition, bombers or torpedo planes can also perform this task.

Although there is a submarine in the storage space, Ye Tian does not have a dead soldier who can operate the submarine.

Of course, Ye Tian does not have a bomber or a torpedo plane.

There is no weapon to launch a torpedo, but Ye Tian is not worried.

Obviously, Ye Tian has full confidence in attacking this tanker.

Otherwise, he would not let the dead soldiers work in vain or do useless work.

It must be said that when large ships are sailing, even if the speed is slow, the surrounding seawater is not calm.

That's not all. Once a foreign object approaches, the large ship can easily suck it in through the pressure difference.

Therefore, when sailing in the sea, it is taboo for two ships to be too close.

Otherwise, two ships, especially those traveling at high speed, will definitely be sucked together, resulting in various accidents.

This is about to attack the tanker, Ye Tian is very excited.
