Chapter 167 Battle of Madagascar 8

At this time, the distance between the French destroyer and their submarine was getting closer and closer, and the officers and men in the submarine seemed to hear the "buzzing" sound of the destroyer's propeller rotating at high speed.

A dull loud "boom" came from not far behind. The huge shock wave shook the entire submarine violently, and several soldiers were caught off guard and fell to the ground.

Just then, a hippie laugh came from the radio on the submarine, and then said: "Beauwell. Saxophone, you kid is really good, the mouse is a cat escort and asks for money. Today Lao Tzu saved your life. "It turned out that another submarine of the African People's Liberation Army (PLA) had rushed over from elsewhere. Finding out that the 078 submarine was in danger, he rushed to the rescue, firing a torpedo and killing him.

Beauwell. Sachs was about to thank him when several violent explosions were heard, and the sea suddenly turned orange. Beauwell. Sachs hurriedly walked over to the periscope, grabbed it and looked at it. Then excitedly shouted, "Great, we hit." Five torpedoes hit four, and it's hard not to die. ”

It was the entire submarine that fell silent. Everyone was silent for dozens of seconds, and then suddenly an earth-shattering cry broke out, "It's hit, that bitch French battleship was hit by us!" There was cheering in the submarine, and even Carlisle, who was originally white, was so excited that he hugged Powell tightly. Sachs, the officers and men inside the submarine are celebrating their escape from death in this way, and at the same time celebrating the first victory of the submarine that has only been in the water for more than ten days.

Then Carlisle, who was excited, stepped forward to snatch Beauwell. The periscope in Saxophone's hand, Carlisle quickly put his eyes on it, and what appeared in front of him to his right was a ship in flames that was slowly sinking on the sea, and his body had been blown out of four huge holes by four heavy torpedoes, and the sea water was constantly seeping into it. At this time, even God himself could not save them from their already predestined fate.

"Captain, the other brother submarines are already in the fight. Shall we retreat, or shall we continue to expand our gains? "Beauwell. Saxophone's deputy, after leaving the periscope, said:

"I saw it!" Bowell in the head of excitement. Sachs gritted his teeth and said, "Dogs, float up at once, rush over and sink them!" The torpedo compartment was immediately reloaded with torpedoes. Just now I forced Lao Tzu to look like a dog. This revenge cannot go unpunished. ”

"Yes! Kill these shit pieces! The officers and men inside the submarine were excited to take action immediately, and now they were about to avenge the fact that they had just been chased by the destroyer, and the speed at which they loaded the torpedo this time was much shorter than the usual training speed.

"Report to the captain, all torpedoes are loaded!"

Beauwell. Sachs then said, "Okay, calculate the direction, set up to attack Zhu Yuan, the two destroyers in front of each have three torpedoes, open the torpedo tubes, and get ready for launch!" ”

"Whoosh whoosh" sounded with a dull thud, and six torpedoes were fired again.

Soon, there were several dull noises ahead, "Six torpedoes hit four rounds, one of the destroyers was hit by three torpedoes, the destroyer broke in two on the spot and sank, the other destroyer was hit by a torpedo, and a huge hole was blown open in the stern, and it is now slowly sinking." ”

After seeing this situation in Beauwell. Sachs hurriedly gave a new order: "The submarine should dive immediately, don't fall in love, hurry up and evacuate this area, now the French fleet is still in chaos, once we react, we are in danger." The other brother submarines were also informed to withdraw immediately. ”

The French must have dispatched a fleet of dozens of large and small ships this time, and they themselves took advantage of their unpreparedness to ruthlessly demand a large piece of meat from them. Apparently it has hurt the other party. If you don't withdraw, you will add food to the other party. It's not a good deal. I am also responsible for the lives of dozens of brothers on this submarine. So Beauwell. Sachs decisively gave the order to retreat.

Of course, the captains of other submarines also understood this truth, and they also gave the order to retreat as soon as they fired all the torpedoes in the torpedo tubes, shortly after they retreated. All the destroyers and frigates of the French fleet turned on their depth charge droppers one after another, and one after another huge depth charges fell into the sea, and for a time the sea water exploded continuously. So the French fleet harvested a bunch of sea fish that were killed and stunned, and nothing was received.

As the supreme commander of the fleet, Edmund saw a large number of his own overboard soldiers floating on the sea, and his own tossing had no results at all. Decisively gave the order to stop the attack, and at the same time ordered to rescue the bodies of the soldiers who fell into the water and the dead soldiers, and at the same time secretly glad that the other party did not attack his flagship, otherwise the people floating in the sea now would have themselves.

After thinking about this, his expression became solemn again, as a Navy veteran of World War I, he had experienced the power of German submarines back then, and today he suffered such a loss in African waters. I heard that the ships of the main surface fleet of the opposing navy are not weak, and with these elusive submarine forces, my situation is not very good, but as a soldier, I must obey the orders of the state. I heard that this black navy had defeated the British Royal Navy fleet and the African fleet before.

About half an hour later, his chief of staff came up to him and said, "Commander, ours is ready to come out at any time. Do you listen? ”

"Read it, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided." Edmund sighed and said:

"Yes, our army lost one battleship, one heavy cruiser. Five destroyers, two frigates. Four other ships were too badly wounded to participate in the follow-up battle, and pending your decision from the commander, 1,880 soldiers were killed, 1,350 wounded, and 453 missing. There is little hope for the missing to survive. The Chief of Staff put the folder away.

"After ordering the four wounded ships to carry out simple repairs, they immediately carried the bodies of the dead soldiers and the seriously wounded to the nearest colony for treatment and repair of the warship. The rest of the ships continued as planned. Edmund reluctantly gave this order.
