Chapter 1269: The Siege Begins

The fleet finally stopped at a distance of 12 nautical miles from the shore of Vladivostok, which is a long distance, converted into kilometers, almost more than 20 kilometers, without the help of optical instruments, but with the human eye, it is somewhat difficult to see what is on the shore. 10 huge balloons, which began to fly above the battleship, would stay in the air from 400 meters to 700 meters for optical targeting detection.

The naval battle is about to begin, Cheng Biguang came to Vladivostok for the first time, and the Northern Fleet that came with him also came to Vladivostok for the first time, but the 1:100 high-definition version of the Vladivostok map in front of Cheng Biguang still proves that before arriving in Vladivostok, all the preparations made by China are the first time to fly to Vladivostok, but everything in Vladivostok is still in the plane and ground infiltration reconnaissance, to figure it out, every house, every street, and even every battery, These are clearly laid out in front of every commander.

Vladivostok is a well-established base with sufficient defense, in terms of the distribution of artillery, it is quite perfect, the largest fortress in the Russian Far East, even in the Russo-Japanese War, Vladivostok, which has not completely fallen, can reach the extreme in terms of protection. The only drawback, I am afraid, is that the artillery is a little older, the Vladivostok fortress was built a few decades ago, during the Russo-Japanese War, it was strengthened a little, and then it was not strengthened again.

The main battery of the entire fortress is 11 inches, and some 10 inches and 8 inches, and the 10-inch guns in 1906 may be more advanced, more powerful than the main guns of most Russian warships, but they are behind this era. Even if it's built on high ground, it's well designed. The maximum range is also no more than 6 nautical miles, to put it bluntly. After more than 5 nautical miles, only God knows where it hits.

The Fantasy-class battleship has armor far more than that of an ordinary battleship, and it doesn't matter if it enters within 5 nautical miles, this distance, 11-inch guns, can't be the armor of a large ship battleship at all, and Cheng Biguang never does risky things. Nor will he do useless work, he tidied up and fired 12 nautical miles away.

Six battleships, arranged in a diamond-shaped structure, sounding balloons released, in the air of more than 500 meters, through optical instruments for aiming, to give more accurate parameters, has been installed on each battleship artillery command auxiliary system. Using computers and programs, the isolated parameters are summarized into the values of each target, and then on each gun position. Just attack according to this.

This is a profession that belongs to China, and perhaps in the field of naval warfare, China is still quite immature. However, with the help of computers far beyond the level of this era, they were bombarded at a distance. China is world-class, even the Scheer fleet, which is also equipped with an artillery command system. After all, Scheer's fleet was a castrated version of the chain of command, or was added later, and many adjustments and improvements were not made.

At present, the command system of the Northern Fleet, thanks to the efforts of countless information talents, has been perfected enough, and both the speed of reaction and the accuracy of aiming are far beyond imagination, and the hit rate of one shot is very high against high-speed warships, not to mention the fixed and immovable batteries.

"So far, really stupid!" The commander of the Pacific Fleet, looking at the Northern Fleet in the distance, suddenly opened fire, this senior fleet commander said disdainfully, facing the enemy, he chose to hide in the harbor, it does not mean that he does not know how to fight, on the contrary, he has participated in at least 4 capital ship duels, and even survived the Pacific Fleet battle in 1906, which makes him very disdainful of the other party's recklessness, yes, even if China is strong and rises, in the navy, it is still a child, even if it is Japan that defeats them, It has also gone through at least a few decades of naval road, and it is still with the support of Britain that it has spared no effort to achieve today's results, China has not had a navy for almost 20 years since the First Sino-Japanese War, even if it has capital ships, what can it do.

The largest fortress, Built on the highest 352.43 heights by the sea, there are 12 batteries distributed here according to the fish scales, which is the safest place in the entire Vladivostok, the commander of the Far Eastern Military District, the commander of the Pacific Fleet, are all within the fortress, this battle is related to the survival of the entire Far East, if Vladivostok is missing, this important port, the Far Eastern Military District will be completely isolated from the outside world, not only supplies and weapons can not be transported, then the entire Far East will become a Jedi, unless it can break through and break through the defense of the Chinese, otherwise, the command will become weaker and weaker, and the final result of destruction can enter the current level, no one wants to perish, which means it's all over.

The shell only flew in the air for more than ten seconds, just when the sneer of the commander of the Pacific Fleet was still on his lips, it had already fallen, 6 capital ships, 60 guns, once it seemed to be a salvo, but it was a separate aimed fire, the largest fortress was on the inside, there was a relatively high, more than 300 meters above sea level, for any warship, it could not be ignored, only by cleaning up a series of batteries on the periphery, it was able to reach the inside, so the attack of the navy started from the outermost battery.

A salvo, at least more than 50 shots, such a hit rate Uyangfu has never seen, more than 12 nautical miles, can hit accurately, these Chinese cast magic?

Computer-aided system, his accuracy is not static, how to use the computer's computing amount more efficiently, even in later generations is a problem of continuous research, the same specification of the computer, why the ability to show is very different, the reason is the algorithm and integration performance.

In this era, computer software and computer-aided computer have just started, and Yang Yuanzhao has brought China at the beginning of the 20 th century to the information age with a computer system that far exceeds that of this era.

Software, in a sense, as long as there is a basic programming method, can be continuously extended, assembly language, Yang Yuanzhao just has it, and then it is promoted.

Computers have not only changed a lot, but also brought different developments to the whole of China, such as train diagrams, computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing, and military command systems.

Although it is said that these warships led by Cheng Biguang look similar to Scheer's fleet, but in fact, the changes are not small, the command system through the play in the Baltic Sea naval battle, all the data, have been brought back, for the targeting system, performance or something, and experience is very related, software this thing, I have not met, that is, I have not met, the software can not be intelligent, not encountered for, can also be handled.

Since the advent of the command system, there has been tracking data, especially the Baltic Sea War, the duel between the two navies in the world, in which the valuable data does not know how much, in the real actual combat, in the environment, not in the sea conditions, and even in different experiences, all the data are integrated together, find out the objective laws, so as to be able to go further.

Personally command, record the data, and then through the radio, the data is transmitted to the country, and then the domestic researchers according to the data, classify and summarize, and finally get a more correct direction, promote the system to go further, now the data has been on a higher level, and the command performance has also been improved.

In the sounding balloon, even if it is dozens of kilometers away, you can see the effect of artillery attack, the smoke of gunpowder has dissipated, it is more intuitive, 60 rounds hit the battery at least 52 rounds, although it is 12 nautical miles apart, but the target on the opposite side is also a fixed target that cannot be moved, from the air to the underground, at least 20 different parameters, how can the hit rate not be high.

Even if it hits more than 50 shots, the damage to Vladivostok is really not big, at least 2 meters, at most 4 meters, even if there is no reinforced concrete, there are rocks and sandbags, and land batteries can be stacked almost infinitely for defense, that is, the Chinese shells are strong enough, otherwise, I am afraid that even the periphery will not hurt.

Some lucky shells hit the weaker places, overturned some sacks of sacks and outer cement, and some were simply bounced off by the hard protection, and the real results were very small, and the perfect shore-based batteries could not be easily breached.

"It looks like high-explosive shells are not going to work!" After receiving the results, Cheng Biguang nodded slightly, the development of things was actually as early as he expected, the first wave of test firing, although the hit rate was extremely high, it was really a test firing, on the one hand, to explore the lethality of the artillery to the Vladivostok battery, on the other hand, to determine the direction and some subtle adjustments, after some of them were done, the artillery began to aim at more valuable targets.

Tungsten steel armor-piercing projectiles, also loaded into the barrel, the Northern Fleet uses tungsten steel armor-piercing bullets, which are the most powerful of all armor-piercing bullets, not only the specific gravity is much higher than ordinary alloy steel, even if it is hard, it is far better than the hardest alloy steel, through excellent shell designers, they are designed to be qualified armor-piercing shells, which can almost pass through most of the battleship dealers, and even the fantasy class, battleships armed to the teeth, except for the main armor can not penetrate, other armor, in front of tungsten steel armor-piercing shells, It won't be much more powerful than papier-mâché.

With a 15-inch gun carrying armor-piercing shells, a large number of batteries were obviously torn, 1 meter, 2 meters, 2.5 meters, that is, more than 3 meters of protection, blocking the attack of some armor-piercing shells, but the first hit weakened the defense, and the second shot was enough to destroy the battery, and the Northern Fleet, with the cooperation of the computer command system, swept the entire perimeter of Vladivostok at a rate of 4 salvos per minute, like a hurricane, and overturned and cleaned up all the batteries in sight. (To be continued.) )
