After a little hesitation, it was decided to attack, the submarine quickly put away the periscope, under the command of the detachment leader, quickly began to sneak underwater, this is near New York, too close to New York, they can't surface, at least 100 kilometers away from New York before they can surface, otherwise as long as they are discovered by airships or ships, he can't run at all, the speed of the submarine surface is 23 knots, much faster than that of merchant ships, but in the face of destroyers and some light cruisers with extreme speeds, he is not enough at all, If you don't have enough distance to hide, you might be miserable.

Fortunately, this fleet is not far from him, the speed of loading and heavy patrols is not fast, only about 19 knots, they still have 3 hours to reach New York, as long as they catch up, even if it is at the underwater speed of 16.5 knots of submarines, after about 2 hours, they will meet, and when the time comes, they will be more than 30 nautical miles away from New York, which is a safe distance, as long as there are no large ships within 20 nautical miles around, they can attack.

Two hours was a torment for the submarine, but every 10 minutes the reconnaissance plane would send a message, and there was little change in the surroundings, and finally when the troops arrived at the preset position, the opposing ship was 3 nautical miles away, and it was coming here without feeling.

Under the order of the captain of the detachment, 8 submarines, divided into 4 front and four behind, he formed a semi-encircled structure, faintly surrounded the opponent's battleship, the excellent performance of the Qin-class submarines, plus the commander of this fleet preconceived, thought that it was just a surface fleet to attack New York, ignoring the premise that the submarine might appear, after all, the German waves, almost did not appear around the United States, let alone attack American warships, which gave the Americans an illusion, it is this illusion, Harming the fleet in front of them, they entered the encirclement unconsciously.

No. 1 is in place, No. 2 is in place, and No. 3 is in place...... One by one, the submarines entered the position, and after more than a month of fighting, they had already changed from Xinding to the best soldiers, and not when they raided the warship, they mastered what kind of method to use, and they could achieve the greatest results, so everything was done very perfectly and flawlessly, even if the other party was prepared at the last moment, they could attack by force, not to mention that the other party was completely unprepared.

Next, it is a quiet wait, 3 nautical miles, for a fleet with a speed of only about 19 knots, it may take 10 minutes, due to the preset position of the submarine, the engine is the lowest level of everything, there is not much sound at all, the decibel is definitely below 98 decibels, such a decibel, even in the future generations, is a little difficult to find, let alone now.

The most critical thing is that these ships, without realizing at all, are going to be attacked by a sneak attack, 3 escort light ships, they don't even turn on the sonar, they just act as a shield outside, blocking the front of 4 battleships, which has no effect at all, especially for submarine attacks.

6 salvos, in the radio, came the order to free fire, 4 submarines, respectively aimed at the battleship that was not used, 6 salvos, 24 torpedoes, constituted a semi-circular area, and it was relatively sparse, but next, it was another 6 salvos, and then the four submarines retreated, and the top of the back came up, in less than 1 minute, 4 rounds of torpedoes completed the attack, a total of 48 torpedoes, at this moment, on the US warship, no one felt that they were attacked.

If the light ship turns on the sonar, maybe it will have a little reaction time, and then the whole sneak attack operation will have a certain variable, but unfortunately, now, it is they who are careless, and at their own doorstep, they do not expect to be attacked by submarines.

Due to the very good selection of the position of the encirclement and the timing of the launch, there was only a distance of less than 600 meters, coupled with the speed of the torpedo, in one or twenty seconds, it crossed a distance of several hundred meters, and some relaxed American troops, even in the end, when the waterline of the torpedo was condescending and could be discovered, did not find a problem. The most likely place to appear, always the place with the highest concentration of torpedoes, in the end, 8 of the 48 torpedoes of the submarines, 24 hits, on average, each ship, more than 3 hits.

This is a huge amount, the Qin-class torpedo, in the previous battle to break the relationship, has proved the strong ability of this torpedo, the first to bear the brunt of the 3 light ships, each hit 2 shots, under the huge explosion, it is enough to overturn them, they are just a destroyer under 1300 tons, one torpedo can hit it hard, two torpedoes are enough to make it suffer a catastrophe.

3 light ships are appetizers, they are not important targets, most of the 48 torpedoes, are aimed at the big guys behind, are rushing to the fleet, revealing enough flaws, enough flaws for the submarine forces to hit the target in the first time, especially those big ships, an average of 5 hits, the United States of America, compared to the Minotaur, is much inferior.

No matter how you say it, the Minotaur is also the strongest in the patrol, it is the battleship that was in service before the dreadnought era, and the United States now retains the patrol, and the latest in service was in 1904, such a thing, with more than 10,000 tons of tonnage, and the ability to defend against torpedoes is very poor, and after 3 shots are hit, there is basically no possibility of rescue, let alone 5 rounds.

A loud noise came, and it was like fried beans, one after another, no one thought that it would be on the mainland, close to New York, under attack, their panicked reaction, countless sailors shouted loudly, but unfortunately there was no power to return to the sky, the one that was hit by 6 torpedoes on patrol, in the first time it was attacked, it had begun to sink rapidly, as for the others, I am afraid that it is also more auspicious.

7 ships, almost the first time to suffer heavy losses, the war ended from the moment it began, underwater submarines, after completing the first wave of attacks, did not have time to open the periscope to watch, they strictly implemented tactics, they had to leave the battlefield again, and then open the periscope in case of being attacked by light warships.

The submarine officer, at a distance of 1 km, determined the effect of the attack. The submarine is very satisfied, 7 ships are basically impossible to salvage, although the submarine attack on the land, basically equal to zero, in this chaotic situation, fishing in troubled waters, is still very good, at least the fleet in front of it, has been devastated.

Often active in the North Atlantic route, the graphics of important ships of the Entente, the commander has firmly remembered, after a simple calculation, you know that the tonnage sunk today is close to 60,000 tons, if this is a merchant ship, it is not worth mentioning at all, but this is a battleship, there are 4 of them are 10,000-ton warships, whether it is a patrol or a heavy cruise, they are all built as a capital ship class, although it is now a little behind this era, but each one is worth a lot of money, just 60,000 tons, When converted into money, it is at least three to five times more than that of a merchant ship.

Because the timing was very good, therefore, not many people found out, next, the reconnaissance planes kept reporting their directions, 8 submarines also followed the non-stop sorties, in 10 hours of continuous sorties of less than 1, more than 7 warships, until the sun set, when the night came, it stopped, at this moment, when the submarine's reserve ammunition was almost exhausted, the effect of 33 was achieved, of which 7 were mounted patrols, 12 heavy cruisers, 7 light cruisers and 7 destroyers, as for the smaller torpedo boats, That's not what the submarine was supposed to attack, most of the time it was to spare him.

The whole day, for New York, it was chaotic, at this time there was still a fire, more and more news, summarized to the US military, New York, the whole contact was disrupted, they didn't even find out, close at hand, there were actually a large number of warships sunk, but more than 300,000 tons of warships, their traces, someone must know, especially the torpedo boats that were released in the later period, they relied on speed, quickly reported the submarine attack to New York, as for other warships, no matter how attacked, It is impossible to kill all the personnel, and it is 20 kilometers from New York, at most, from the shore, and at this distance, some well-trained sailors can swim ashore.

The attack of the battleship on New York, this crime is unforgivable, at more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon, New York has prepared enough warships, but the large battleships are a little worse, and they are still wondering, why should they arrive at 20 warships why not come, if they arrive, they may be able to attack at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and if they wait, maybe there will be no chance, the emperor-level data they know, the speed per hour is 25 knots, 8 hours later, they have already left 200 nautical miles, That's not going to be caught. I thought it was something delayed on the road, but who knows, there is news that it is a submarine infested.

This is a huge provocation, the capital ship can't deal with it, the submarine can't deal with it, after asking the other party's location, a large number of destroyers came to look for the traces of the submarine, gathered near New York, the small destroyers that can pose a threat to the submarine, at least 300 or more, divided into five formations to pounce.

It's a pity that before they could get closer, the submarine force attacked the last ship formation and achieved certain results, and the distance from New York exceeded 70 nautical miles, although there were still many large fleets around, but for the submarines, it had been more than 5 hours since the first attack, and they could not gamble on luck, and the reconnaissance planes had been in the air for reconnaissance long enough, so they immediately retreated.

That is, not long after the submarines retreated, a large number of fleets set out from New York to look for their traces, but unfortunately, the Chinese fleet retreated very quickly, and they could not find any traces at all. (To be continued.) )
