Chapter 139 Submarines Attack Japanese Aircraft Carrier Formations

As a man of the future, Wei Qidong has a very good understanding of the entire history of the Anti-Japanese War, and through the study of various wars, especially major wars, he found that some of the losses suffered by the Chinese army in the process of retreat can be compared with the war losses.

Often, as long as the orders from above are resolute, the fighting mood of the Chinese army is very high. In the Battle of Songhu, there were many different factions of the army, the unfavored motley army, and the kind of behavior of being on the battlefield and not afraid of death, which made many people moved.

However, once the retreat order was issued, the troops were often defeated, disorderly, and chaotic, which also affected the efficiency of the retreat. The Japanese army, which moved quickly, launched an encirclement and suppression of the chaotic Chinese army through air-ground alliances, and many heroic teams were buried in such chaos.

Wei Qidong's participation this time naturally did not want such a tragedy to happen again. Wei Qidong not only indicated to Chairman Chiang that he would fully assist the retreat of the Chinese army, but also submitted some of his own ideas.

Wei Qidong's meaning was very simple, the troops that had disengaged with the Japanese army and were some distance from the Japanese attacking team retreated first.

Those teams that were still being held back by the Japanese army and were not far from the Japanese attacking team should immediately stop and not retreat, so they should choose a favorable position to build a defensive line to intercept the Japanese army as soon as possible, and help the team that can withdraw in time to withdraw first.

As for those teams that could not withdraw in time and stayed to block the Japanese army, Wei Qidong said that he would do his best to bring them out and would definitely not let the Japanese army encircle and annihilate them. Wei Qidong's budget was left to block the team, which was probably kept at about 10 to 150,000.

Anyone who is slightly proficient in military affairs can see that Wei Qidong's method is the most secure, but if the operation is not good, the more than 100,000 troops left behind can be wiped out. If it was before Wei Qidong appeared, Chairman Chiang would definitely choose to retreat on all fronts, but the more he wanted to retreat as soon as possible, the more difficult it would be to retreat, and the casualties would not be less at that time. Maybe Chairman Chiang doesn't know for the time being, but Wei Qidong knows that history has already proved this.

Fortunately, Chairman Jiang was still quite convinced of Wei Qidong's ability, after all, it was reflected in the good results, so this time, Chairman Jiang also decided to take out more than 100,000 troops to accompany Wei Qidong on an adventure.

Chairman Chiang immediately ordered the verification of the situation of the various units so that the units that could be selected to remain to block the attack. Taking advantage of this time, Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi were looking for an opportunity to enter the Kilo-class submarine, and then sneaked towards the waters around Shanghai.

In order for the retreat to be smooth, it is first necessary to eliminate the interference of the Japanese air power, and in the Shanghai War, the Japanese air power was mainly the carrier-based aircraft of the naval aviation.

Some time ago, two Japanese aircraft carrier battle groups were almost completely wiped out near Zhoushan and Shanghai, which made the Japanese Combined Fleet suddenly lose its wreak and flee back to China as quickly as possible, and then do its best to verify it. The Japanese were the first to point the finger at the Americans, but no direct evidence has been found, so until now, the Japanese are not sure who the murderer is.

If it were a weak country, even if it was only suspicious and there was no evidence, the Japanese would have already taken action. However, the United States is different, and Japan still needs to rely on the United States for many resources, and there is no definite evidence, and the Japanese, no matter how bold they are, do not dare to turn their faces with the Americans at this time.

There was no way, the Japanese could only be wary of the United States while continuing to check. However, the Combined Fleet cannot be bitten by a snake for ten years, and it must still cooperate with the actions of the Army. Therefore, after hiding for a week or so, the Japanese Combined Fleet sent an aircraft carrier fleet to cruise near Chinese waters, but it was much more cautious than before.

At this time, it was the Fengxiang aircraft carrier group that was supporting the operation near Shanghai.

The tonnage of the Fengxiang is relatively low, even among light aircraft carriers, after all, it is an old guy. The Fengxiang is the world's first aircraft carrier in the true sense of the word, but its standard displacement is only more than 7,000 tons, and its full load displacement is only a little more than 10,000 tons, and it carries only 21 carrier-based aircraft.

For the Japanese, the Fengxiang is just right for the current task, because the Japanese army has just lost two advanced aircraft carriers a while ago, and they dare not be too aggressive, so it is appropriate to send the Fengxiang to test the water. Moreover, the war in Shanghai came to an end, and the Fengxiang could basically guarantee the support mission of the navy.

Because it knew that it was a submarine that attacked it last time, this time, the Japanese Combined Fleet cooperated with more than a dozen submarines for the Fengxiang aircraft carrier formation to deal with the attack from underwater.

However, did such an arrangement of the Japanese army work very well for Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi? Obviously not, not to mention anything else, just the sonar system equipped with the submarine is quite different. At this time, the sonar technology was still very immature, not only the detection distance was short, but also susceptible to various interferences, while the sonar equipped with the Kilo-class submarine was relatively mature and had very strong comprehensive performance.

The Kilo-class submarine had already discovered the Fengxiang aircraft carrier formation and had been sneaking until it was close, but the Japanese submarine had not yet reacted.

However, just in case, this time Wei Qidong did not get too close to the Kilo-class submarine. After selecting the attack position, six torpedo tubes locked on to five targets at the same time, of which the Fengxiang was locked by two torpedoes.

"Launch." Wei Qidong didn't say a word, and ordered directly.

Tang Xinyi was already familiar with the operation, and directly launched six 533 mm caliber torpedoes in the torpedo tube. The six torpedoes swooped down on the target at a speed of 45 knots, like a whale shark that had spotted its prey.

In order to prevent another surprise attack, the Japanese army also sent a large number of personnel on board the ship to warn, and it can be said that all the means at their disposal were used.

A Japanese soldier who was guarding the side of a heavy cruiser stared at one direction, and then stared at one direction of the sea, only to see a white thing under the water, rushing forward like a fish.

"Fish, fish, fish, torpedo......" The Japanese soldier finally reacted, roaring wildly, causing a commotion on the ship.

However, the torpedo only floated up to reveal its figure when it rushed to the front, and it was already very close to the target, how could it be that manpower could react, and several Japanese soldiers witnessed the torpedo directly hit the port side of the Fengxiang.

With a "boom", a rushing water column rose on the port side of the Fengxiang on the spot, and after the water column fell, countless seawater rushed into the torpedo torn hole. The huge hull of the Fengxiang could not withstand such a powerful impact, and after a sudden shock, it began to tilt to the left.

Receiving such a fierce attack, the Japanese troops on the Fengxiang were suddenly in chaos.

"Another ......," another Japanese soldier shouted in horror.

......Two of the Japanese soldiers even fired machine gun fire in a panic to destroy the torpedo, but it seemed too whimsical.

"Baga ......"

"......Boom" Another earth-shattering explosion sounded behind the port side of the Fengxiang, and suddenly, the Fengxiang was even worse.

At the same time that the Fengxiang was attacked, several frigates in several other directions were also subjected to fierce attacks, and the formation of the entire aircraft carrier formation was suddenly disrupted, and sirens sounded everywhere.

The attacked ships are scrambling to find a way to save themselves, while the others that have not yet been attacked are constantly searching, hoping to find their targets.
