Chapter 399: Jiaolong's First Battle
Zhang Xinghan smiled very firmly: "Chief of Staff, you can rest assured, our submarine is absolutely the most advanced and outstanding submarine in the world in terms of performance." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It will be able to make up for the shortcomings of our submarine officers and men's lack of actual combat experience and training.
Besides, isn't there Ives and his gang of instructors to help?
So, let's wait for the outcome of the battle with peace of mind. ”
Jiang Baili nodded and said with a reluctant smile: "It seems that the general seat is full of confidence, maybe I'm too cautious and worried." ”
&nb [pig] [pig] [island] novel; "Fifty XXI submarines, that is, our officers and men lack real combat experience and are not well trained, otherwise, pull out the posture and be under the cover and support of our air power.
It's never a problem to take out a fleet of devils.
Their outstanding performance is now incomparable to that of the Japanese Navy in terms of ship equipment! The two sides are not on the same level at all. Zhang Xinghan said.
…………………………
More than two hours passed quickly, and it was already seven o'clock in the evening, by which time it was completely dark.
Knowing that China does not have a navy, the Japanese Navy, whether it is a fleet commander or an ordinary sailor, is very relaxed in their subconscious, without any nervousness or worry.
Basically, they saw the operation as a live-fire military exercise.
In naval operations, the Great Japanese Empire is still a hegemon-level existence, this is the voice of all officers and men of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet.
Therefore, the confident Chuanyun fleet turned on various lighting warning lights after nightfall.
The aircraft carriers and battleships were brightly lit, and they were so dazzling in the dark.
Dozens of small alert ships deployed on the periphery of the fleet turned on their searchlights to illuminate the surrounding waters back and forth.
On the periphery of these dozens of alert ships, about 40 Japanese submarines have all surfaced and are on the outermost alert mission.
Including Vice Admiral Chuan Yun, the officers and men of this Japanese naval fleet did not know that in the distance behind their fleet, dozens of submarine dragons of the Northeast Navy were rapidly approaching them.
And Liu Yuntao's No. 001 XXI submarine evaded the search of the submarine and alert ships on the periphery of the devil's fleet. Infiltrated the Japanese naval fleet, following one of the larger aircraft carriers slowly.
The XXI submarine's excellent performance is at its best, with minimal noise and high underwater speed, allowing it to evade the search and alert of the Japanese perimeter vigilance submarines and ships, and directly blend into the Japanese naval fleet.
Such an outstanding performance surprised a British instructor on the same ship as Liu Yuntao, and the captain of No. 001 was in the room.
The shock on the face of the British instructor, who was about forty years old, did not fade, and he said incredulously: "Captain Liu, this is definitely the most advanced and outstanding submarine I have ever seen, and it can unknowingly blend into the enemy's ship group. It's incredible.
You must know that we are surrounded by Japanese warships on the left and right, and the closest distance is less than 2,000 yards (1 yard equals 0.9144 meters).
If it weren't for the immersion, I would absolutely not believe, and maybe even think so, that the Japanese Navy was all a bunch of idiots.
In fact, your submarines are too advanced and their performance is too good. ”
Liu Yuntao was very proud in his heart at the moment, and he still smiled modestly on the surface: "Instructor Mike has won the award, and the Japanese don't know about our existence at all, so their vigilance is relatively poor." Of course, Instructor Mike, your excellent command and teaching are also indispensable. ”
Thousands of wears, sycophants do not wear, sycophants do not know national borders. Regardless of race.
The British instructor named Mike immediately laughed when he heard this: "Captain Liu, you guys are really outstanding, I like you very much, I like China." Ha ha! ”
"We also like Instructor Mike and Instructor Ives very much, when this battle is over, I will invite you to drink in Quanjude in Dalian. If you have the opportunity to have a holiday, Liu asked Instructor Mike to go to Beiping, where are the eight alleys, there are beautiful women in it, and the fame is far and wide! Liu Yuntao smiled heartily, revealing a unique sinister smile among men.
"Yay! This time, we will definitely teach these arrogant Japanese a hard lesson! "Instructor Mike was doping.
While the two were talking, the telegraph operator suddenly ran over and saluted the two: "Captain, instructor, captain call." ”
"Read!" Liu Yuntao put away his smile and waved his hand grimly.
The telegraph operator immediately took the telegram and read: "The captain has ordered all submarines to launch a unified attack on the enemy in ten minutes."
No. 001 can find a target to attack on its own, and the main force of our Jiaolong will attack the two large warships in the rear flank of the Japanese army and the other ships of the group at the same time. ”
"Got it, report to the captain, our department will resolutely carry out this order." Liu Yuntao immediately waved his hand.
The telegraph operator bowed his head in reply, turned and took the order to leave.
After the signal troops left, Liu Yuntao immediately ordered all the officers and men on the ship to prepare for battle.
At the same time, on the aircraft carrier Xianghe, the flagship of Vice Admiral Kawagumo, the entire fleet had begun to slow down its advance because it was getting late, and it was decided to launch an air raid on Nanjing again tomorrow.
So Lieutenant General Chuan Yun had already left the conference room and came to the restaurant to eat.
The Shohe is a large aircraft carrier with a maximum displacement of 33,200 tons, and in its original history, this aircraft carrier was hit by a torpedo fired by the American submarine Spinnous Fin during the air battle of the Mariana Sea in June 1944, and then sank with a fuel explosion.
During World War II, the largest aircraft carriers of the Japanese Navy were the Akagi and Kaga, both of which had a maximum displacement of more than 40,000 tons.
And the displacement of this Shozuru is also considered to be at the level of the middle and upper echelons among the aircraft carriers of the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy.
In addition to the aircraft carrier Xianghe, the other two aircraft carriers are the Flying Dragon, with a full load displacement of 21,900 tons and a standard displacement of 16,000 tons.
The Soryu, with a full load displacement of 19,800 tons, was sunk by the USS Enterprise on June 4, 1942 in the waters northwest of Midway.
The Xianghe with the largest displacement happened to be the Xianghe with the largest displacement by the Northeast Navy Jiaolong Task Force 001, which was the largest in size, and naturally became the preferred target of Liu Yuntao and his subordinates.
Ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and while Lieutenant General Chuan Yun and his subordinates were still eating, when the ten-minute agreed time had passed, Liu Yuntao immediately ordered to open fire.
The six torpedo launchers of the Project 001 XXI submarine opened fire at almost the same time, and the six torpedoes weighing 500 kilograms were fired at a maximum speed of 47 knots at the same time at a high speed of about 2,000 yards towards the aircraft carrier Xianghe, which was about 2,000 yards.
Because it was an underwater launch and it was night, the aircraft carrier Xianghe was unaware.
About two or three minutes later, six torpedoes silently hit the aircraft carrier He Xiang almost at the same time.
"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom" Six violent explosions rang out one after another, and the scarlet flames rose into the sky, and the violent shaking suddenly knocked Vice Admiral Kawa Yun and a group of Japanese officers who were eating in the aircraft carrier's cafeteria to the ground.
The tables and utensils in the restaurant were in a mess for a moment, and before Lieutenant General Chuan Yun could ask, a violent explosion was heard again.
It turned out that the six torpedoes had already caused an extremely serious blow to Shanghai on the Xianghe, and an ammunition depot and oil depot on the Xianghe were detonated, and an even more violent explosion occurred.
In the violent explosion, the huge hull of the Xianghe was split in half from the bow third, and in the continuous explosions and dazzling firelight, the split Xianghe began to quickly tilt into the water.
At the same time, the submarines of other Jiaolong task forces that had already crept up also launched attacks on the enemy in front of them, and the four Japanese refueling ships were attacked almost simultaneously.
The Japanese did not expect an enemy attack under the surface of the water, and the refueling ships were at the rear of the fleet, in the safest position.
There was no defense, in a violent explosion, four refueling ships exploded and caught fire at the same time, and in the dark night, the scarlet fire and the deafening explosion sound were extremely bright and deafening, completely overshadowing the churning of the waves and the howling of the sea breeze.
Three battleships were also subjected to a dense torpedo salvo at the moment after the tanker was hit, and about a dozen torpedoes hit three battleships one after another.
Suddenly, a violent explosion occurred, and in the monstrous firelight, the huge hull of the battleship was destroyed in an instant, and countless Japanese sailors who were eating were howling in horror.
After the 001 hit the one-hit, it no longer bothered with the Shozuru, which had been blown in half, and used the remaining torpedoes to start attacking the aircraft carriers Soryu and Wyvern.
In addition to the excellent low noise level, the XXI's torpedoes are also mechanized and self-loading, with all 20 torpedoes firing in just 18 minutes.
Therefore, after the first batch of six torpedoes were launched and the aircraft carrier Xianghe was concentrated, the submarine 001 turned around and fired the second batch of torpedoes at the aircraft carrier Soryu.
The Shohe was attacked and there was a violent explosion, and the Japanese naval officers and men on the two aircraft carriers Soryu and Feilong were so shocked and confused that they had no time to detect and evade the attack of the 001.
Six torpedoes hit the Soryu first, followed by six more torpedoes, and the three aircraft carriers were hit no more than 10 minutes after they were shot.
Hitting three behemoths one after another, Instructor Mike was so addicted that he immediately said to Liu Yuntao: "Captain Liu, you have achieved extremely outstanding results, take advantage of the chaos of the Japanese army, evacuate quickly." (To be continued......)
