Chapter 412: The submarine goes to war

The reason why Chiyoda caused the explosion was that after the armor-piercing shell loaded with the Ruojing Pig Chop bolt just now penetrated the middle deck of Chiyoda, the shell fell into the shell magazine without bias, and then caused the shell to explode.

Chiyoda was originally a cruiser of only more than 2,000 tons, and in addition to the long service time and the fact that Japan simply did not have extra money to repair it, Chiyoda, who was already full of speed, could not withstand this terrible blow, and in less than ten minutes, the Chiyoda burst into flames and began to tilt to the right. Although the officers and soldiers poured water into it and extinguished the fire, it still did not have any effect.

Ningyuan. Li He showed a smile, he knew, Chiyoda, it was over.

"Concentrate your firepower and attack Itsukushima." There was no need to waste shells on Chiyoda, and Li He lightly gave the order.

Yan Fu nodded slightly, turned around and walked out for a while, then returned to the bridge, and nodded to Li He, indicating that the order had been given.

"Where is Cai Tinggan now?" Putting down the binoculars, Li He turned his head and looked at Yan Fu who was standing in front of him.

"They dived half an hour ago, and they are probably approaching the Fuso now." The cannon was so loud that Yan Fu had to increase the volume.

Hmph, look at how arrogant you are. Looking at the chrysanthemum sun flag fluttering on the more than 100-meter-long Fusang in the distance. Li He snorted coldly.

The reason why he did not attack Fuso, but concentrated his firepower on Itsukushima, was because he wanted to attract Fuso's firepower, so that Cai Tinggan, who was under the water, could approach Fusang and launch torpedoes.

The bombardment and bombardment continued, and on the Fuso, Fujiwara was now not only ruthless Ningyuan, but also the torpedo cruiser of the Beiyang Naval Division that was swimming nearby, their speed was too fast, and almost all of the shells they fired fell into the sea, although a few shells hit the torpedo cruiser, but the 120 mm rapid-fire gun did not hurt him too much.

"Yaga." A roar. Fujiwara insulted one by one, the torpedo ships of the Beiyang Naval Division were like thieves, swimming on his side, although his artillery could not make Weihai for himself, but any one of the torpedoes on these warships would give great damage to the Fuso.

Fifteen meters below the water of the Lefy Islands.

Whale 3 was like a ghost, and it was swimming in the direction of the Combined Fleet at a speed of five knots.

Listening to the faint explosion above, Cai Ting, who was in Whale No. 3, scratched his head and touched his cheeks anxiously. He was very anxious, if he couldn't arrive early, then the commander above would be in more danger, and the Beiyang Naval Division would be in more danger.

"Report, still arrived a hundred meters from the Fuso." A staff officer jerked down the pen in his hand and reported loudly.

Paralysized, finally arrived, Cai Tinggan threw down the military hat on his head at once, and quickly ran to the periscope: "Rise five meters." ”

Ten meters is the minimum standard for the Whale 3 periscope to be exposed to the water, and if it exceeds ten meters, it will not reach the surface of the sea at all.

Knock knock, the ordered sailors began to quickly shake the instruments, and slowly, one could feel the submarine slowly rising.

When he arrived, thinking of this, Cai Tinggan began to put the telescope on thousands.

With a snap, through the telescope, Cai Tinggan clearly saw that just one hundred and fifty meters away, the battleship Fusang of the Japanese Combined Fleet was spraying anger at the Beiyang Naval Division in the distance, he slowly turned the periscope, and he clearly saw that the current Ningyuan was being hit by Itsukushima and Fusang, and there was smoke on the back deck, however, looking at the rear turret still spewing anger, he knew that Ningyuan was not in trouble.

Fifty meters, fifty meters in advance, is the best firing position for the submarine itself.

100 meters, according to the speed of the torpedo, to be able to dodge at such a close distance, it is simply unacceptable.

"At full speed, the left and right torpedoes are fired indirectly ten seconds later." Put down the periscope with a snap. Cai Tinggan silently calculated the time.

It is estimated that it has arrived, and Cai Tinggan raised the periscope again.

A hundred meters away, he could clearly see that the Fuso was moving forward at a speed of fifteen knots.

"Look where you're running today." After talking to himself, Cai Ting gave an order violently: "The right thunder is launched." ”

With a pop, the torpedo tubes made a clattering sound, and a torpedo suddenly sprang out of the Whale 3 and began to run towards the Fuso in the distance.

Poof, ten seconds later, another torpedo was fired.

"Dive," and see the torpedo fired. Cai Tinggan, who quickly turned off the periscope, gave a loud order, and he knew that at such a close distance, if he didn't dive, the shock wave of the explosion would hurt him.

Hugging the pillar next to him fiercely, Cai Tinggan gently wiped the sweat on his face because of excitement, how many years, he is finally going to break out today, and, according to the words of the big marshal, he will be the first person in the world to attack a warship with a submarine, it is worth it, at least he will be a famous figure in history in the future.

"Seventy meters to starboard, a torpedo was found." On the lookout of the Fuso, the lookout's eyes widened in terror and sent a signal of terror. He didn't know where the torpedo came from.

What the? As soon as I heard this desolate scream. Fujiwara, who was on the bridge, quickly ran to the starboard position and raised himself to prepare to raise the telescope. In fact, there was no need, as soon as he ran there, he clearly saw that two torpedoes, one in front of the other, were dragging their long tails, trying to run on their port side.

Hell, where did this torpedo come from? Fujiwara's eyes widened, and at such a close distance, how did he dodge Fuso: "Turn the rudder right." Subconsciously, Fujiwara gave the most desolate order, although he knew in his heart that such an order would not be of any use at all.

The distance is too close, more than fifty meters, a distance in the blink of an eye.

"Linen falls." A hurried and angry cry. Fujiwara fell to his knees weakly, holding his head in his hands and closing his eyes, he knew that Fuso would never be able to dodge. It's just that he still can't figure out where this torpedo came from, after all, now, the battleships of the Beiyang Naval Division that can launch torpedoes are all at a distance of more than 2,000 meters from him, and at such a distance, if he launches a torpedo, he can see it.

"Where exactly did the torpedo come from?" Raising his head violently, Fujiwara clenched his hands into fists, thinking of the clouds in the sky to ask the most helpless question.

No one answered, only panic on the deck, many sailors, all of whom were snatching the few lifebuoys and jumping into the sea.

Thirty meters from the bow of the ship on the port side of the Fuso, there was an earth-shattering loud noise, and the Fuso swooped upwards violently, and then moved down, and this was not over, the second torpedo hit the Fuso again. Not to mention the violent explosion caused again, it even tore a large hole in the Fuso from one to more than 30 meters long.

Tons and tons of seawater began to flood in.

A huge explosion, soaring flames and mushroom-like black smoke, burst out of the Fuso.

On the Ningyuan, watching the Fusang make two earth-shattering explosions, Li He actually jumped and shouted on the bridge like a child: "Cai Tinggan succeeded, Cai Tinggan succeeded." ”

It was not only Li He who was excited, even Yan Fu, who had always been serious and serious in medical treatment in the Haibeiyang Naval Division, began to raise his hands madly.

"Hurry up and take advantage of his soldiers, so the battleship immediately turns its guns and sends it to the western sky." After the excitement, Li He blushed and pointed fiercely at the Fusang that was still exploding in the distance.

The Itsukushima, which had escaped death a few years ago, was now beaten and had no power to fight back, and the Beiyang Naval Division violently stopped the shelling, so that the Itsukushima finally had a chance to breathe, and began to use this time to desperately extinguish everyone on the deck.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, dozens of artillery pieces began to let out an earth-shattering roar.

The overwhelming cannonballs began to smash towards the Fuso, which had already dropped nearly half of its speed in the distance.

To add insult to injury, the Fuso, which had already been blown up and had half a life left, was once again devastated.
