Chapter 785: Deadly Attack
After the torpedo boat in front retreated, the devils on the deck of the warship not only did not relax, but became more nervous. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The three torpedo boats that followed closely behind, taking advantage of the gap in artillery fire, continued to rush towards the fleet.
What's more, three more torpedo boats suddenly appeared behind these three torpedo boats, and then quickly rushed towards the fleet.
The devils on the deck of the warship immediately adjusted their gun muzzles and prepared for a new round of artillery fire.
As soon as the screeching shells exploded on the surface of the sea, the three torpedo boats quickly fled for their lives like frightened rabbits.
As soon as the torpedo boat in front fled, the devil adjusted the caliber of the ship's guns and fired shells at the torpedo boat behind.
After the third wave of three torpedo boats was pushed back, the devils on deck were just about to breathe a sigh of relief. The first wave of three torpedo boats, which had long since retreated, after making a large circle in the area of engagement, again rushed towards the devil's fleet.
The devil gunners had to get nervous again, maneuvering the ship's guns to prepare for a new round of shelling.
Because the twelve warships of the devil put on a defensive posture, in order not to be attacked by sneak attacks, each warship was far apart. Therefore, there were only two devil warships that were directly attacked by torpedo boats.
In order to cope with the continuous attack of the nine torpedo boats, the two warships had to abandon the artillery battle with the Wehrmacht Navy and concentrate on the torpedo boats, using artillery fire to prevent the torpedo boats from continuing to approach the warships.
As soon as the artillery fire of the two ships was shifted, a group of nine torpedo boats appeared in front of the two warships in the other direction, and in units of three, they rushed towards the fleet desperately.
In this case, both warships also had to withdraw from the artillery battle.
After the remaining eight torpedo boats of the torpedo boat group participated in the battle, Vice Admiral Kaohsiung had to divide two more ships to deal with the torpedo boats.
As a result, there are only five devil warships left that will engage in artillery battles with Xie Hui.
The shells of both sides came and went, constantly smashing the shells at each other, hoping to quickly eliminate the hand, and then go to reinforce other warships.
Just when all the devils on the battlefield focused their attention on the Wehrmacht opposite, the nine submarines equipped by the submarine brigade were dispatched.
The submarine, which was twenty meters underwater, was like a ghost, entering the battlefield through the gap covered by artillery fire, and then quickly dispersed and dived towards its target warship.
In less than ten minutes, they touched the vicinity of the devil warship.
The night, the sound of the waves, the cover of the explosion of shells, and the fact that the devil thought that the Wehrmacht Navy had all been dispatched, and that there was no other force that could threaten him. None of the devils on deck noticed the sea under their noses.
After the nine submarines slowly floated, nine huge shadows formed on the surface of the sea.
Of course, under the cover of night, it is absolutely difficult to see without looking carefully.
After determining the specific location and distance of the target warship through the periscope, nine submarines simultaneously fired the torpedoes.
As soon as a total of twenty-seven torpedoes left the submarine, the submarine began to dive quickly to avoid being targeted by the devils.
Because all nine submarines were under the nose of the devil, they were only more than 100 meters away from the Japanese fleet.
Therefore, the torpedo that rushed towards the devil warship at high speed, bubbling with water bubbles, had just surfaced to the surface, and it was only a few dozen meters away from the target warship.
With such a close attack distance, even if the devil wants to, he can't dodge.
Some devils watched the lookout, and after seeing the torpedo rushing towards them with a shocked face, before they could react from the shock, a violent explosion sounded under their feet, and then the huge hull of the warship began to shake violently.
Three torpedoes were responsible for a devil ship, which hit the target almost entirely.
Even if there was a lucky devil warship, it was hit with two torpedoes.
The warship that exploded first exploded, and as soon as the violent explosion sounded, the hull of the warship was lifted high off the sea.
At the same time, three large holes appeared side by side in the hull, each with a diameter of more than two meters. In this case, as soon as the warship falls into the water, the sea water will continue to pour into the cabin of the warship like a hope of bursting the embankment.
As soon as the torpedo exploded, the huge hull of the warship was torn in half.
In the blink of an eye, nine of the 12 Japanese warships were devastated, and four of them sank on the spot. The remaining five warships, although not directly sunk, the huge hull has begun to tilt due to the large amount of water entering the hull.
At the current rate of inclination, in ten minutes of the sky, all these warships will be buried in the sea.
Because Vice Admiral Kaohsiung's flagship was protected in the middle of the fleet, he was very lucky not to be targeted by submarines.
After the huge explosion reached Vice Admiral Kaohsiung's ears, Vice Admiral Kaohsiung immediately rushed out of the command cabin, wanting to see with his own eyes what the explosion was all about, and what secret weapon the Wehrmacht used to inflict such a big blow on his fleet in such a short time.
Soon, the shadow of a disappearing submarine on the surface of the sea entered Vice Admiral Kaohsiung's field of vision.
Lieutenant General Kaohsiung's first reaction was that he had seen it wrong, and then subconsciously rubbed his eyes.
After the fainter and fading shadow of the submarine entered his field of vision again, the whole person seemed to have been electrocuted, and he froze directly in place, and then after half a minute, he said to himself: "How is it possible, how can the Wehrmacht be equipped with submarines, how can submarines have such strong combat effectiveness, why doesn't the Great Japanese Empire know." ”
After saying that, Vice Admiral Kaohsiung was subconsciously ready to order the fleet to catch up with these hateful submarines and then destroy them with depth charges.
As a mid-naval officer, he is well aware that submarines operating below the surface of the sea, although they are very hidden, also have an Achilles heel, and their protection is too poor. As long as a depth charge explodes around them, the huge shock wave will blow up the submarine, and even the people and the submarine will be buried at the bottom of the sea, and there will be no chance of survival.
But when he saw the ships in the fleet that were constantly sinking, and then he saw the Wehrmacht Navy that was still eyeing him and constantly firing at him. Vice Admiral Kaohsiung immediately realized that the fleet with heavy losses was now a problem even to save its life, let alone counterattack.
As a result, Lieutenant General Kaohsiung could only swallow back the order that had just been prepared for export, and then issued an order to defend with all his might and do his best to repel the attack of the Wehrmacht.
Two warships, including the flagship, immediately counterattacked.
Dense shells from naval artillery, which soon destroyed one of the main ships of the Wehrmacht.
In addition to the destruction just now, there are still four warships on the Wehrmacht side that are holding out. Although it is twice as numerous as the devils, neither the number of naval guns nor the caliber of naval guns can compare with the devils. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to describe the strength of the two sides in the words "evenly matched".
In this case, if the two fleets fight hard, they will definitely end up losing both.
Just then, a brigade of torpedo boats came. There were twenty-one torpedo boats left, and they continued to rush towards the devil's fleet from three directions.
As long as the torpedo boat rushes to a kilometer away from them, the powerful torpedo will definitely come into close contact with the devil fleet.
Despite the fact that both warships were behemoths, they could not withstand a close torpedo attack.
Therefore, as soon as the torpedo boat appeared, the devil had to divide a large number of naval guns to block the torpedo boat.
As a result, more than half of the shells were fired around the Wehrmacht Navy. And the Wehrmacht fired no less shells. (To be continued.) )
