Chapter 668: Killing God Behind the Scenes
The naval battle has reached this point, and the victory or defeat is already decided. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Not surprisingly, in five minutes at most, all the remaining five warships of the Wehrmacht will be buried in the sea.
As a result, the tense atmosphere that shrouded the head of the devil naval fleet also disappeared at this time. Although he also lost a lot of warships, it was definitely a victory compared to the results.
Of course, if the commander of the devil fleet knew that the warships he sank were all old warships that the Liaodong Army was about to obsolete, he would definitely be so angry that he vomited blood.
The shelling continued, and the Wehrmacht counterattacked with fewer and fewer shells, and there was no way to even threaten the Devil warships.
In this case, almost all the devils become relaxed and think that they are victorious. Then they all gathered on the deck of the Wehrmacht Navy side of the warship, hoping to see the last Wehrmacht warship buried at the bottom of the sea.
And at this moment, on the other side of the fleet, which all the devils didn't think about, two torpedo boat squadrons and eighteen torpedo boats were slapping away, slowly advancing towards the devil's fleet under the cover of night, the sound of waves, and the sound of battlefield artillery.
Eighteen torpedo boats, all the way to a position less than five hundred meters away from the devil fleet, the devils who went all out to destroy the last few warships of the Wehrmacht still did not find it.
In order to catch the devils by surprise, 18 torpedo boats stopped moving forward and successively released 36 torpedoes 50 meters apart from each other. After it was finished, regardless of whether the target would be exposed, the torpedo boat was directly driven to the maximum horsepower to retreat.
The roaring sound of the motor finally caught the attention of the devils, and when they saw the torpedoes rushing towards them with the help of binoculars, their faces turned pale with a single brush, and then they exclaimed loudly.
"Baga, it's a torpedo, we have a torpedo behind us, it's two or three hundred meters away, immediately start the warship to evade!"
The devils on the warship who were in sight of victory suddenly became chaotic, and the remaining dozen or so warships also quickly increased their horsepower, preparing to evade the torpedo.
But the torpedo has already reached a position less than two hundred meters from the fleet, and it can crash into the fleet in ten seconds at most,
In addition, the dozen or so large and small warships of the devil fleet are all gathered together, even if they are transferred immediately, they will not be able to go too far.
More than a dozen warships, accompanied by a huge roar, finally began to move on the surface of the sea, and violent explosions began to sound on the surface of the sea.
A torpedo is not a naval artillery shell, and with a charge of several hundred kilograms, only one is needed to blow an ordinary warship in two and bury it at the bottom of the sea.
Of course, even if it encounters a large warship, there is no problem, even if it cannot be directly blown up and sunk, it can blow up a hole several meters in diameter below the waterline of the warship, and when a steady stream of seawater pours from the hole into the cabin of the warship, the warship will at least lose its balance and thus lose its combat effectiveness. If you're unlucky, you might die at the bottom of the sea.
The two explosions that sounded just now were unfortunate, and they were all concentrated on the side of a warship.
The explosion sounded, and it was clear that the bow of the warship was lifted out of the sea by the explosion, and then smashed heavily on the sea.
Not only that, the bow of the ship that was lifted out of the sea was directly blown out of a large hole with a diameter of more than three meters, and the entire capital of the ship was blown away for half a day. In addition to the bow of the ship, the torpedo that hit the middle of the warship was not polite, and directly blew out a large hole with a diameter of more than two meters.
As the warship smashed back into the sea, a steady stream of seawater began to pour into the cabin through two holes.
If there is only one hole, through the closed compartment, the warship will not be silent.
But the two holes are different, although the devil sealed all the cabins of the warship for the first time, the huge hull of the warship began to tilt in less than half a minute, and as the angle became larger and larger, the warship was only a few minutes away from sinking.
At this time, the remaining dozens of torpedoes also crashed into the devil fleet one after another. Except for the twelve torpedoes that missed the target because of the devil's evasion, all the rest exploded, and a thick column of water up to 20 meters high rose in the middle of the devil's fleet.
In the violent explosion, the six warships on the outermost part of the fleet were the worst, each of which was hit by at least two torpedoes. Four of the warships sank on the spot, and the remaining two warships began to tilt, certainly not far from sinking.
Of course, there were also eight torpedoes that passed through the gap between the warships and crashed into the warships on the other side of the fleet.
The same six warships were torpedoed, but because each of them hit only one torpedo, there were two more. Only one of the six warships sank on the spot, and the remaining five were crooked in the sea due to water ingress in the holds.
"Yaga, how can this be, cunning Wehrmacht, when did they touch our surroundings. So many torpedo boats that we didn't even find? "The flagship of the fleet commander was also hit by a torpedo and crooked on the surface of the sea. Although it is not clear what happened to the entire fleet, more than twenty explosions in a row already made him aware of the tragic losses of the fleet. With a calm face, he scolded loudly.
After scolding, he ordered his subordinates: "The naval guns of the warships that can still fight back will be fired immediately." Chase the Wehrmacht torpedo boat and blow it up for me. Destroying so many of our warships must not allow them to retreat safely. ”
Soon, the shelling of the devils began. Naval guns continued to roar and chase the Wehrmacht's retreating torpedo boats.
Although the torpedo boats retreated quickly and the target was small, there were many shells for the devils, and the blind cat killed the mouse, and in the end, two torpedo boats were blown to pieces by the shells during the retreat.
In the process, four more devil warships poured into the cabin and died at the bottom of the sea because of a large amount of seawater, and the losses of the entire fleet were also continuously summarized in the hands of the fleet commander.
"How is it possible, how can the losses be so great!" Although the commander had expected heavy losses in the fleet, he was taken aback when he actually saw the data on the losses, and he showed an expression of disbelief.
With the addition of supply ships, there were a total of twenty-one warships of all sizes in the entire fleet.
In the Wehrmacht Navy's sneak attack, five were sunk, and now nine more warships are buried at the bottom of the sea, plus one was severely damaged and lost its combat effectiveness, two lost power and the hull tilted, two were hit by torpedoes and the hull was tilted, and in the end only two were intact, and even the flagship with the largest displacement of the fleet was tilted due to flooding.
It can be said that the combat effectiveness of the entire detachment fleet has so far been less than 20% of the pre-war level.
A few warships tilted because of water ingress can still fight, but their combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, and if they are not good, they will be left on the battlefield forever.
The commander of the fleet, who had been full of confidence a few hours ago and thought that victory was in sight, was now pale and full of despair.
What he wanted most now was to return to Japan with the rest of the fleet, but the darkness of the surrounding sea dissuaded him.
Because he didn't know if there was a Liaodong army waiting for him on the retreat road, and for safety, the best thing to do was to wait for dawn.
After the torpedo boat withdrew from the devil's field of vision, the violent artillery fire stopped, and the battlefield, which had been lively for nearly an hour, slowly became quiet.
At this time, all the devils thought that tonight's sneak attack should be over, and then began to lower the dinghy and rescue the overboard. (To be continued.) )
