Chapter Seventy-Six: Submarine Sortie VI

At 3:26 a.m. on June 13, 1909, a slight sea breeze blew, and waves appeared on the surface of the sea from time to time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

On the bright moon in the sky, a fleet of more than 150 large ships is slowly advancing on the shipping route from Australia to the South Seas. There were four destroyers in front, destroyers and cruisers in the front, rear, left and right directions, and six first-class battleships in the middle, so many warships just to protect the safety of the entire fleet.

This huge fleet was escorting nearly 100 troop transports heading for the South Seas, and the warships carried the flag of the British Empire.

The flag fluttered in the wind and made a rattling sound.

Under the light of the fleet, the sea is very beautiful.

This fleet was the Australian fleet of the British Empire, with a total of about 70 warships, including six battleships, more than 10 first- or second-class cruisers, more than 20 destroyers, gunboats, and so on.

The Australian fleet is escorting 80,000 elite troops of the British Empire to the South Seas to deter the Chinese Kingdom from attacking the Dutch colonies without harming the interests of the British Empire.

After receiving the order from London, Manadorsa, the commander-in-chief of the Australian fleet, did not dare to be careless, and quickly ordered the fleet to escort the ship, and took on the task of deterring this mysterious descendant of the Ming Dynasty.

Manadosa was a seasoned veteran of naval warfare and was surprised by the sudden appearance of two powerful naval fleets on the islands of Papua in the South Sea. London's explanation for this mysterious force may be the descendants of the Ming people who fled to the islands of Papua for refuge when the Ming Dynasty was defeated.

For this explanation, Manadosa was skeptical, the navy of the Ming Dynasty was very powerful, but the Ming Dynasty has not been destroyed by the Qing Dynasty for hundreds of years.

The navy is not an army, and it is not so easy to build a navy, without strong national strength, financial resources and relevant technical personnel, it is simply difficult to build a strong naval force, let alone two powerful fleets.

What Manadosa didn't expect was that Huaxia's submarine force had discovered his fleet through sea radar at a distance of 15 nautical miles, and 20 submarines were waiting for him to go to the ambush circle.

At 3:46 a.m., 20 submarines stopped on the surface of the sea like big whales, and on the decks of these submarines stood or sat the submarine sailors of Huaxia Kingdom, who were breathing in the fresh air with a slightly fishy smell.

Suddenly, the flagship of the submarine formation heard the alarm of an emergency dive, and the sailors on the deck quickly got into the submarine in turn.

After the last sailor entered the submarine, the first mate stood at the entrance and tightened the lid of the submarine.

The diesel engines of each submarine were activated at the time of the alarm and the power output was increased. Suddenly, the sound of a clattering diesel engine was heard in every submarine.

Not long after, 20 submarines were making a rapid dive, disappearing into the dark sea.

Li Xiaoyun's command room has fully resumed operation, and she was seen staring at the radar display screen a little nervously.

Just half an hour after the submarine force dived, a huge fleet broke the waves.

Looking at the enemy warship displayed on the radar screen, Li Xiaoyun was very excited, he was only the deputy captain of the ghost submarine formation, but he didn't expect that he would also have the opportunity to lead the troops alone.

Li Xiaoyun is a woman who is not tall in the Wuji Continent, only about 1.75 meters, with a plump figure and average appearance, if it weren't for the big eyes that flashed this shrewd gaze all the time, no one would pay attention to her.

"Vice-captain, the enemy ship will enter the ambush circle in five minutes." The radar observer looked at Li Xiaoyun and said.

"The order goes on, as soon as the British fleet is completely in the ambush circle, immediately launch an attack, sink those six battleships and those cruisers at the first time, sink those destroyers in the second round of attacks, and then play freely and kill the enemy as best you can."

Li Xiaoyun knew that the battleships in a fleet were the most valuable, followed by cruisers, and then destroyers. As long as all these three surface warships are sunk, the remaining supply ships and troop carriers are lambs to the slaughter.

The huge British fleet moved forward unsuspectingly, gradually entering the ambush circle of the Huaxia submarines.

Since it was already the middle of the night, except for dozens of destroyers on guard on the perimeter, the other troop carriers were only manned from the wheelhouse. The faint lights on each boat flickered and flickered, prompting neighboring ships to keep their distance.

Most of the British officers and soldiers were already asleep, and none of them could have imagined that they had entered the realm of death, and that the fate that awaited them would be death.

On dozens of destroyers guarding the perimeter of the fleet, some sailors on duty were listlessly smoking cigarettes or joking quietly. They didn't know that under the dark sea at this time, there were 20 submarine killers with very powerful attack power waiting for them.

Although many countries are developing submarines, so far no country has officially developed a submarine with strong attack power, and even less has that country equipped with submarine forces. Therefore, these British sailors did not have the slightest awareness to guard against underwater submarines.

In addition, the British Empire's naval fleet dominates the world, as long as the head of that country is not broken by the door, he will never order to attack the British Empire's fleet. Unless, the country can withstand the wrath of the British Empire.

Under the bright night, some light mist rose on the entire sea surface at this time, and the sea surface seemed to be covered with a thin veil, which looked a little hazy.

"The British and Australian fleets have entered an ambush circle!" The radar observer looked at Li Xiaoyun and prompted the report.

"Command, attack now!" Li Xiaoyun ordered with some excitement.

After the order to attack was given, various orders continued to come from the submarines.

"Aim for it."

"Depth alignment."

"Aim for it."

"Depth alignment."

"1500 meters away."

"Depth 18 meters."

"The torpedo is up to 45 miles per hour."

"The torpedo is adjusted to 45 miles per hour......"

"No. 1 to No. 2 torodoes are ready for fan-fire."

"No. 1 to No. 2 torpedoes are ready to be fired in a fan..."

"Number 1 is ready."

"No. 2 ready ......"

After the order to attack was given, the sailors in the submarines began to get busy. I saw that they skillfully operated the submarine, and soon completed the captain's order.

"Ready...... Launch! Li Xiaoyun gave the order to attack, and then with a smile on his face, he showed his white teeth.

"Torpedo No. 1 launched!"

"Torpedo No. 2 .....!"

After hearing the order, the sailor operating the torpedo fired resolutely pressed the launch button.
