Chapter 631: Don't Abandon and Don't Give Up
The force of the torpedo explosion was so great that the 41,300-ton aircraft carrier Chisei jumped upward, and Koga Mineichi and countless sailors were shocked to the deck by the violent vibration, and then the terrible sirens began to rise one after another, and the entire fleet was in an uproar.

Koga Mine also immediately came to his senses, there was only one thing that could launch torpedoes so quietly, and he hissed and shouted as hard as he could: "Torpedo...... The Shina submarine fired a torpedo! The destroyer immediately stepped forward to find out the submarine of the Chinese people! ā
"Boom ......"
As soon as his words fell, he heard two huge explosions from the cruiser Ball Mill, which was six or seven hundred meters away from him, and then the entire battleship burst into flames, and then the battleship began to pour down.
"Let's all move, all the ships move!"
The whole fleet began to move without Koga Mine's orders, but anyone with a little common sense knows that when a submarine is attacked, if your ship is still in place, it is tantamount to waiting for death.
The whole fleet did not move tightly, first more than a dozen destroyers immediately dropped depth charges around the entire fleet, and the entire seabed boiled as if it were boiling. The Japanese really went crazy this time, because just now Wang Zhixiang fired six torpedoes, four of which hit the target, two of the Chicheng and the Ball Mill, and the other two missed, but one of the two misses hit a reconnaissance ship. The Chicheng had thick skin and thick flesh, and the two torpedoes did not hit the vital point, so after some intense repairs, the damage management sailors finally plugged the loophole, but the ball mill was not so resistant, two Type 95 heavy torpedoes blew up two large holes in its hull that were five meters wide, and more than 200 tons of seawater poured into it in less than ten minutes, although the sailors desperately plugged the leak and even killed more than 10 damaged sailors, but half an hour later, the captain of the Kuma, Miura Ichiro Osa, still had to announce the abandonment of the ship.
"Let's go...... Dive to 200 meters and keep diving! ā
Just when the Japanese fleet was frantically looking for the submarine that dared to attack them, Wang Zhixiang was directing the submarine to desperately evade the Japanese destroyer, and made a bold decision to dive the submarine to 200 meters. In this era, Japan's sonar technology is still relatively backward, this is because the Japanese Navy has never suffered from the threat of submarines since its establishment, so it was not until 1930 that a batch of American MV passive sonar was imported from the United States, and the first 93-type sonar was successfully developed in 1936, but the detection distance of these two sonars is relatively short. It was only 250 feet (76.2 meters) and had a very large error, and even the Japanese Navy itself did not like to use it, and many Japanese naval officers preferred to use lookouts to observe the tracks of submarines. In another time and space, there is nothing wrong with the Japanese Navy doing this, because Germany, which likes to play submarine warfare the most, is an ally of Japan, and the United States and Britain and other countries have powerful surface ships, so they don't disdain to play submarine warfare, so this shortcoming of the Japanese Navy is well covered, but in this time and space it has become different because of the arrival of Su Jin.
The Japanese Navy paid the price for its short-sightedness, and while more than a dozen destroyers were frantically looking for the submarine that attacked them, the submarine Q-001 was quietly dodging the attack of the Japanese destroyers at the bottom of the sea at a distance of 150 meters. Listening to the depth charges that continued to explode like thunder around them, the faces of everyone in the submarine turned a little pale, don't look at the submarine known as a low-water assassin, but once the destroyer is targeted by the destroyer, no matter how awesome the submariners are, they have to be honestly a turtle with a shrunken head, otherwise you will have to stop eating no matter how powerful you are with a round of depth charges.
"Boom ......"
"Boom ......"
Depth charges continue to explode around, each one seems to be smashed in the hearts of all submariners, but fortunately, the Japanese may not have thought of the depth of the opponent's submarine, the safe depth of submarines in this era is only about 100 meters, 200 meters is already a depth that all submarines cannot reach at present, and the sailors on the Japanese destroyers set the depth of the depth charges to explode at most about 123 meters. But listening to the incessant explosions overhead and the rattling of the water pressure, even the most optimistic people could only pray in silence, and they could do nothing else.
The explosion sounded for more than half an hour before it slowly quieted down, and after a while, the sonar soldier suddenly said softly with a happy face: "Sir, the Japanese destroyer has left!" ā
Hearing this, Wang Zhixiang and Karaal glanced at each other, and the two realized that their backs were already wet with sweat.
Karal asked in a low voice, "Wang...... Let's get back home. ā
Wang Zhixiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Karar, there is no news from Q-002 yet, we can't leave them alone." ā
It was then that Caral remembered that there was another submarine that hadn't moved until now.
However, as soon as their words fell, they felt a slight shock to the hull of the boat, and the sonar soldier suddenly said: "Report, the sonar monitor heard a violent explosion in the southwest direction, two kilometers away from us. ā
Wang Zhixiang and Carral were shocked, and their hearts immediately thought of the Q-002 submarine just mentioned, and without waiting for Carral to speak, Wang Zhixiang immediately shouted: "Immediately float to the periscope depth!" ā
With Wang Zhixiang's order, there was a burst of snorting sound in the cabin, that is, the submarine's drainage bin was working, and the high-pressure gas was sending seawater out of the water tank, five or six minutes later, a sailor said in a low voice: "Report, the submarine is now nine meters deep, and it has reached the periscope depth!" ā
When Wang Zhixiang pressed into the periscope, he happened to see one destroyer after another rushing towards the northwest like hungry wolves, and one after another depth charges were scattered into that sea area as if they didn't need money; behind these destroyers, two troop carriers and two supply ships were braving a raging fire to illuminate the entire night sky, and countless Japanese soldiers were jumping towards the sea like dumplings.
Wang Zhixiang couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "My good boy, the brothers of No. 002 actually killed the supply ship and troop carrier of the little devil, and now they have stabbed the hornet's nest." ā
Wang Zhixiang was right, the Japanese never dreamed that the Chinese would have a second submarine quietly lying in ambush on the sidelines, waiting for all the destroyers to search for the first submarine, and when they were cold, they launched another torpedo attack on the warships that had lost their protection. And the Q-002 submarine is really ruthless enough, they did not attack the aircraft carriers and battleships with the largest target and the most heavily protected, but aimed at the troop carriers and supply ships that the Japanese did not pay so much attention to. Six torpedoes were fired, and two troop carriers and two supply ships won the bid immediately, especially the supply ships, which carried a large amount of weapons and fuel, and immediately ignited a raging fire after being hit by the torpedoes, staining the entire night sky red.
The destroyer captains who had been stimulated by the Q-001 submarine had red eyes, and most of the destroyers rushed desperately in the direction of the torpedo, and the depth charges were thrown down like hail, and this time these captains were also ruthless, putting on a posture of not giving up until the depth charges were dropped.
Caral also leaned over to the periscope to take a look, and then said with a solemn expression: "No. 002 is in danger!" ā
Everyone was silent, unlike the Q-001 submarine, the 001 was a sneak attack launched by the Japanese army without preparation, and they evacuated in time after firing the torpedo, so it was difficult for the Japanese ship to find it, but the 002 was different, it was a sneak attack launched when the Japanese ship was most vigilant, and it was immediately locked in the direction, so even if they made an emergency evasion, the probability of escaping was estimated to be almost zero.
Looking at the constantly shaking sea surface and the shock waves that came, everyone was silent, most of the Japanese destroyers rushed to the direction of the Q-022 submarine, they only had two destroyers patrolling here, if they quietly dived and slipped away, at least seventy or eighty percent sure that they could go back safely, but the Q-002 submarine that stayed here would be more than lucky.
Everyone's eyes looked at Wang Zhixiang and Carral, the two supreme commanders in the submarine, and Caral was silent for a while before he said, "Wang...... Although I am nominally the captain of the submarine, in reality I know very well that I am just an instructor, and you are the supreme commander of the submarine, and you decide what to do. ā
Wang Zhixiang took a deep breath, glanced around at everyone in the command tower, and then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, at the beginning of the establishment of the submarine brigade, Chief Su personally met with us submarine officers and soldiers, and he said a lot of things at that time, most of which I can't remember clearly, but I still remember the last sentence of Chief Su until now, Chief Su said that a submarine is a whole, and the motto of submariners is "don't abandon and don't give up." ā
"Don't abandon and don't give up!"
Hearing this, all the submariners were shocked, and many people muttered and repeated this sentence in their mouths, this sentence is the oath that all submariners said when they swore to join the navy, but there are not many people who can remember this sentence on weekdays, but after Wang Zhixiang said it at this moment, everyone immediately felt the weight of this sentence.
Looking at the silent crowd, Wang Zhixiang said loudly: "Since the establishment of our submarine brigade, there has never been an example of abandoning teammates and escaping alone. When the chief asks why our brother on 002 didn't come back with us, what should we say? Did we just tell the sir, that 002 was abandoned by us! If we do something like this, how will we deal with the parents of those brothers, how will we deal with their wives and children! ā
There was silence in the command cabin for a long time, and then a voice sounded: "Sir, let's fight with the little devil again!" ā
"Do it again!" A low, resolute voice rang out in the command cabin. (To be continued.) )
