1767 The brave man wins
Seeing that the distance between the two warships was getting closer, the radar soldiers from both sides were quickly reporting the distance between the two warships.
Even if they are slowing down continuously, the huge steel monsters cannot reduce their speed too quickly, especially the battleships of tens of thousands of tons.
In the command room of this Duke-class missile frigate in the UK, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
"Don't be afraid, we and the Soviets were in the Atlantic Ocean and Norwegian waters back then. Even if we were less than a hundred meters away, we wouldn't run into each other. Young men, look at the enemy trembling on the opposite side!" The captain of the duke-class frigate was no longer as calm as before.
The whole person began to be excited, as if he was back to the passionate years he had when he was facing the Soviet Red Navy. As a soldier, he was just not afraid of death.
What's more, no one can fire a gun. When firing a missile, it depends on who is brave.
Whoever turns first will lose his national dignity. They each have only one warship, but the warships on both sides represent all the soldiers of their respective countries.
The Chinese cannot afford to lose because this is in their waters, although they are not within 12 nautical miles of any island and reef in the South China Sea.
The British also couldn't afford to lose. The once most powerful Royal Navy in the world, the powerful fleet that once scattered across any ocean around the world, has now declined and has not yet been in front of an entry-level navy that has not been established for less than half a century and has not had a 10,000-ton warship. If you admit defeat, where is your dignity?
The dignity of the empire, the face of the empire!
"Chief, what are they doing? They are about to bump into. Are we not afraid of violating discipline?" The captain of the Yibin ship asked to the captain with a serious expression next to him.
They followed the huge British supply ship toward the front. The distance between the two warships was less than 300 meters, and the situation on the other side's deck could be clearly seen.
At this time, they did not care about each other, the British did not care about them, and they did not care about the British supply ships.
Both sides were staring at the huge warships that were approaching quickly, but it seemed that no one wanted to avoid them.
On the radar, the two ships were completely on a straight line.
"Break discipline? What discipline is violated? At most, they are also impolite." The leader's heart was actually very nervous.
He knew who was on the terrifying beast opposite, and that person would not even give face to the senior military leader. At this time, he would easily give in with the British?
In the end, no one can confirm who is at the loss before the last moment.
"Distance 2400!" The radar soldiers kept reporting, reporting every 100 yards.
In the command room, there was a deadlock.
Liu Yijiu definitely does not allow them to give in.
"The near defense system is ready! Target the British warships!" At this critical moment, Liu Yijiu issued another order, "Prepare to simulate attacking the enemy ship!"
Simulating an offense is a really good opportunity.
On the warships, the main weapon system is various missiles, especially vertically launched missile units.
When the Americans sold it to China, they removed the large-caliber main guns, but left behind the secondary guns. China did not use these 127mm secondary guns, but all used the Type 90 dual-barrel fully automatic 100mm high-level dual-barrel naval guns improved by the Ninth Academy on the basis of the Type 79 100mm high-level dual-barrel fully automatic 100mm high-level dual-barrel naval guns.
These naval guns use 57-diameter tubes, with a maximum range of 26,500 meters, an effective range of 17,500 meters, an initial velocity of 962 meters/sec, a rate of fire of 2x28 rounds/sec, a high and low firing range of -5°-85°, and a firing height of 15,000 meters; each left and right firing range of 225°, and the total firing range of 23 tons weighed only.
This is a mainstream weapon belonging to the near defense system and the near-range supply system, and it is not comparable to the near-defense system on both sides of the ship.
The 37mm high-level dual-purpose naval gun basically has no effect on modern warships, and only has the only high-rise buildings of attack warships, destroying radar and command systems.
In the ship attack system, it is not only the 90 100mm high-level dual-purpose naval gun, but also the 122mm 50-barrel rocket launcher launch system, which is also fully automatic.
Most of the space above the entire battleship is used to arrange various weapon systems and radar devices.
It can be said that the arrangement of these weapon systems has reached a level of madness.
At this time, Liu Yijiu was only more than 2,000 away from both sides and could see clearly with the naked eye that the warship required the warship to simulate attacks on the British warships coming from the opposite side. All the weapon systems on the entire warship were automatically controlled. Once this was done, whether it was an anti-ship missile launch system, a naval gun system, or a rocket launch system, or a torpedo launch system on the warship, at the bottom of the warship, they had to take action.
If the British are nervous in such a situation, what is wrong?
"Director Liu, at this time, both of us are out of high tension..." Ai Guoxiu's forehead began to seep her fine sweat.
The warship was still rushing towards the much smaller British Duke-class frigate in front at a very high speed.
Not to mention that Ai Guoxiu was just an engineering designer, even the naval officers and soldiers next to him were extremely nervous.
In this case, if the warship makes an attacking posture, the consequences will be very serious.
"Comrades, don't forget that ours is just a warship for sea trials, with only national flags flying on it, and no military flags. The British knew clearly. Therefore, even if we make gestures, they would not think that we were going to really attack." Liu Yijiu reminded everyone.
On the mast, there is only the national flag, no military flag.
If it is a merchant ship, there is nothing, but a warship, this is internationally common.
Without a military flag, it means that there is no uniform service.
The British were the most well-trained naval fleet in the world, and they could not have known this.
"According to the order, there will be no chance if we pass it again! If we miss it, there will be no chance if we miss it." Liu Yijiu urged again.
The technicians operating the fire control system did not care about anything else at this time and began to perform tasks according to Liu Yijiu's orders.
The fire control radar has long been aiming at British warships, but it has not been locked.
And now, simulated attacks need to be locked.
Only when locking is performed will the fire control system assign weapons systems to attack.
"Don't lock! Don't lock!" Liu Yijiu had to press the lock button when he saw the person operating the fire control radar, and he was shocked and sweated.
Locked, this is an attacking attitude.
"Directly perform manual weapon system operations!"
With the command, the fire control radar operator began to manually adjust the status of various weapons.
The barrel of the 100mm high-level dual-purpose automatic naval gun began to sag rapidly, and the turret also began to rotate towards the warship in front. The elevation angle of the 122mm rocket launcher launch system also began to adjust. Even the 37mm close-proof gun system on both sides of the ship's side aimed the muzzle towards the Duke-class frigate that was getting closer and closer in front.
"Captain, they are aiming at us!" The top mate at the duke-level held a telescope and looked at the increasingly large Chinese battleship. When he saw that all the weapon systems above began to rotate towards this side, there was a hint of trembling in his voice.
The captain also saw this situation, and sweat began to emerge from his cold face, "Radar soldier, are we locked?"
"No! The opponent is conducting a simulated attack!"
"Carry a simulated attack! Give them a firm fight back!" the captain said with gritted teeth.
The Chinese are so shameless that they actually used their most advanced frigate as a target for simulated attacks.
They were fooled.
The other party was just a warship conducting sea trials, and it turned out that they had not seen it.
"Distance 1600..." The radar soldier's voice trembled.
Of course, this is the radar soldier of the British Duke-class frigate.
"What are you afraid of? Our warship has a tonnage of more than 50,000 yuan, and the other party only has 4,000 tons. Even if it hits, we won't sink. What are you afraid of?" Liu Yijiu was dissatisfied when he heard the same trembling voice of the radar soldiers.
If you bump into it, you will be seriously injured at most.
The entire huge battleship will not even lose its power system.
"Distance 1200..." The radar soldiers of both sides reported the distance almost at the same time.
The Duke-class frigate was obviously panicked.
In the battleship, the helmsman's legs began to tremble, and he didn't even know which side he should turn when he was about to hit.
Various situations were constantly simulated in my mind, my palms holding the huge rudder were covered in sweat, and my eyes were staring at the front.
In the entire commander tower, except for the sound of typing on the keyboard and pressing buttons, there was a dead silence.
"The distance is 800! Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!" The radar soldier shouted in horror in the duke-level cabin.
If the distance between the two sides does not evade, they will definitely install it without hesitation.
So far, even if they slowed down, their speed was still 18 knots, and the opponent's speed was even more than 20 knots, so it was impossible to turn. The huge warships needed to turn were too large.
Chapter completed!
