In the Kundur channel under the moonlit night, the sea breeze swept the waves and crashed on the steel battleships more than 500 meters apart, making a roaring wave, and the steam engine rumbling loudly, so that the officers listening on the S3 submarine immediately determined the direction of the sound.

"Bow angle 45! Turning to the ......" Captain Hu Xueyong calmly gave the order, nearly 10 hours of incubation, the air of the submarine has been a little turbid, during the incubation period, everyone must enter a semi-dormant state, reduce activities, to ensure enough underwater hiding time, and now, will be the moment when the sword is unsheathed.

"Tank emptying ......"

"Start the horizontal rudder, go to periscope depth, and prepare for observation!"

"Vent the air valve......!"

After a series of orders, on the dark sea, an inconspicuous small black dot appeared, Hu Xueyong carefully turned the periscope, quickly searched for the surrounding targets, and soon, he saw a blurred figure of the battleship in the moonlight in the left front of the bow, and the dull sound heard under the underwater surveillance before was coming from which direction.

Through the periscope, in fact, in this case, Hu Xueyong had no way to judge the model of the battleship more than 2,000 meters away, and the large waves on the sea and the night of the night made the observation effect very bad...... However, the fluttering flag of the Royal Navy confirmed that it was the British battleship formation there, and this was enough.

"The bow angle is deflected by 5 degrees, and the speed is 4 knots!" Hu Xueyong gave a loud order, and the submarine immediately sailed silently to the main channel, and ten minutes later, when he confirmed from the periscope that the submarine had entered the position of less than 150 meters on the flank of the main channel, the submarine stopped the electric motor engine again. Floats silently underwater.

Hu Xueyong holds the bracket of the periscope. The eyes are meticulously attached to it to observe any slight changes in the surroundings. In just a few minutes, he saw at least two torpedo boats...... Or a small gunboat galloped away with a big searchlight, and the British battleship just observed, although the gunwales could not be seen clearly in the night, but the huge chimneys in the double rows on the battleship and the heavy guns clearly visible in the bow could be basically judged that this was definitely a large battleship, not a small ship of less than 2,000 tons.

But. The problem he is now encountering is that when sailing underwater on batteries, the Seawolf-class submarine can only run at a speed of 6 knots at the fastest, which is undoubtedly the speed of a turtle compared to any type of water warfare, and according to the combat plan, the four submarines will attack at the agreed time, and before that, they will choose a position and stay in wait.

The hands on the pocket watch tick to the final calibration of 9 o'clock. And at this moment, the S3 submarine has long been squatting in the preset position. In the distance, another British warship was slowly approaching in the dark night, and it did not notice the killing machine under the dark sea ahead!

Seeing that the hour hand was slowly pointing to 9 o'clock, Hu Xueyong had already set his eyes on the target that was slowly coming two hundred meters away, "The bow of the ship is turned 15 degrees!" ”

The command "bow turn 15 degrees ......" was immediately repeated, and the submarine let out a low rumbling sound and shook slowly.

"The speed of the enemy ship is 8 knots...... Estimate...... Bow angle 5 degrees ......"

"Preparing to lock ......"

"Settings...... Torpedo depth...... 3m ......"

"Range 300 meters!"

"Depth...... Over......" "Range Complete...... Done......"

Hu Xueyong stared closely at the huge black shadow on the sea level slowly coming, and then immediately shouted loudly: "Prepare to launch...... No. 1 ...... Number 2! ”

Almost at the same time as the order was given, the two soldiers in the front cabin had already turned the flywheel quickly, and the two huge torpedo tube baffles directly in front of the Seawolf submarine slowly opened, revealing a bloody mouth.

"No. 1 is ready ......" "No. 4...... Ready...... "The two torpedo operators immediately stood by the firing wrench behind the torpedo tube with excited expressions, and answered loudly into the microphone.

"Launch ......"

With an order from the command room, the torpedo operator immediately pressed down the firing wrench, and the huge 440mm torpedo steel shell suddenly made a piercing metal friction sound, and rushed out of the torpedo tube under the impetus of air pressure, and threw itself into the darkness in the distance with a series of white splashes.

"Full power, ready to dive ......" Hu Xueyong didn't pause at this time, and immediately issued a new order, but at the same time, his eyes were already fixed on the ticking second hand, a distance of more than 200 meters, that is, about 20 seconds......

The submarine water tank was quickly injected with seawater, and under the slow push of the stern propeller, it slowly moved, but at this moment, everyone's thoughts were obviously focused on the two torpedoes that were launched, and Hu Xueyong was also very clear about the combat mission this time, and the naval command did not intend to block the British in the strait at all, and the order given to them was very clear about this.

When Staff Officer Tang of the fleet headquarters asked several of their captains to go, he gave two operational requirements, the first of all, not to expose the existence of the submarine force, which also determined that the submarine force adopted a silent wait for the rabbit this time, rather than following the destroyer fleet to ambush, secondly, Tang Hong directly ordered the naval command to only allow one attack and immediately withdraw from the battlefield, but the command's requirement was that the British must be allowed to taste the power...... It is said that this is a secret order from Beijing.

6…… 5…… 4…… 3…… 2…… 1…… 0

Hu Xueyong's partner calculated the clock in a low voice, and when it reached 0, a whole room of new people was hoisted to his throat, but the expected explosion did not come as expected...... This can't help but make everyone's eyes look at the captain Hu Xueyong, and Hu Xueyong is naturally very nervous, and the stuffy environment in the boat makes him sweat all over his head!

He glanced at his pocket watch, and the time was indeed about the same, but ......

Rumble...... Rumble...... Rumble...... Boom......

Suddenly, an incomparably dull blasting sound came in, Hu Xueyong turned the periscope, and immediately saw that in the darkness in the distance, a huge battleship suddenly rose in the middle of a red cloud soaring into the sky, 14-inch large Type 87 torpedo, warhead charge of more than 80 kilograms, underwater explosion absolutely has the amazing effect of destroying the world.

The British battleship that was hit was suddenly lifted up from the bottom of the water, and a huge fire ball was exposed on the middle hull, and then, the violent explosion in the middle of the battleship obviously destroyed the keel structure of the entire battleship at once, and in front of Hu Xueyong, this huge battleship broke into two at once, and burst into flames.

And Hu Xueyong's rotating periscope also observed that the same huge fire was rising on the sea in the distance, and it was obvious that the brother troops had also succeeded......

"Dive at full speed...... Dive at full speed...... Evacuate now! He immediately gave the order, today, it should definitely be the bad luck day of the British! ——

On the night of July 10, under the eyes of the Royal Navy, and under the careful response of the Royal Navy, three Royal Navy warships entering the Kundur Channel suddenly hit a mine and exploded, which made Vice Admiral Simon, who had just fallen asleep, almost flip the table......

"Bastard...... Didn't you say that the minesweeping was complete...... The Counterattack, the big guy with a draft of 8 meters did not hit the mine, how could the battleship of the Kranmandel Central Ironclad hit the mine...... How could the cruiser Burkes also hit mines, and how could the cruiser Barlev of the same type not hit mines...... I ask for the full investigation at once! "Lieutenant General Simon was somewhat hysterical.

Of course, this can't all blame him, as the commander of the Grand Fleet, this has not had the slightest merit in the war with China, I didn't expect such an inexplicable loss of troops, although the Grand Fleet is strong, with 10 large battleships of the rank of the superior of the Navy and the Sovereign class, but the previous broken engagement of the Chinese has made the London side very angry, but I did not expect that after a day, two cruisers and an old central artillery room ironclad ship actually hit a mine and exploded!

Staff Officer Wells obviously also noticed Vice Admiral Simon's somewhat decadent expression, such a blow was indeed too unexpected, two hours ago, the vice admiral had tasted dinner with great satisfaction, but now, he had to take responsibility for this embarrassing result!

"General, I think...... There shouldn't be much of a problem with our early minesweeping, perhaps, God knows what secret weapon Chinese has dropped in the tunnel, which is not something we can predict...... We have to explain it to London! Staff Officer Wells was very considerate in his judgment.

"New mines? It is difficult to use trawls and tosses for demining......" Lieutenant General Simon frowned and muttered softly, then looked up at the young staff officer, "Lieutenant Colonel Wells, your idea is very interesting...... I want you to write a report to London at once, tomorrow...... We will launch an all-out offensive against Chinese so that the Chinese have nowhere to escape...... There is no escape!
