The bombardment of the devils did not stop, and in the course of an hour, the little devils staged another covering blow. The blow began at a depth of 30 meters and was bombarded with eight depth charges in succession, all the way to a depth of 200 meters.

Ji Kelian didn't figure out why the devil didn't continue to deepen the explosion. Zhao Xiang, the torpedo chief, had an idea and said: "The maximum depth of our sea resistance army's depth charges is 240 meters. ”

Everyone has a misunderstanding, and this is a simple inference. After this reminder, Ji Kelian also immediately understood. The little white face is actually red at this moment. This is great news, it turns out that the devil doesn't want to continue to blow up in the depths, but the bomb doesn't give Liha.

In fact, Ji Kelian didn't know, there was even better news, after more than ten rounds of bombardment, the depth charges on the destroyer had been completely exhausted. You must know that an ordinary light cruiser of the Japanese army has no more than 48 bombs. In two hours, the devils squandered 400 depth charges.

Although Ji Kelian did not know this, the Japanese destroyers soon began to evacuate, and it did not take long to evacuate eight of them, and only four continued to cruise on the sea.

This is the Japanese naval base, not to mention that Pixiu No. 1 can lurk underwater for three days, even if it is thirty days, it is difficult to shake off the search of devils. The devil is very dead-eyed, sending three or two destroyers to monitor every day, but Ji Kelian has no tricks at all. You must know that only one or two hundred meters away from the reef is the deep sea area, and the active sonar of the little devil is not entirely for decoration.

There is no time to lose. missed this point, and when the devil filled the depth charge again, Pixiu No. 1 wanted to escape, and it was difficult to climb to the sky.

With the order of Tikryan. The Pixiu immediately began to inflate. As the hull of the boat trembled, Ji Kelian secretly exclaimed: "It's okay. ”

Although the coral reef is pressed on the submarine a lot, the coral reef is not a dense rock, and the weight is not large. The Pixiu had a full 500-ton floating margin, although it was not easy, but it was also angry, and it soon floated.

Immediately, Ji Kelian discovered another problem - the balance rudder of the Pixiu submarine was smashed by a coral reef. Only the balance rudder on the right side can be used. The balance rudder of a submarine is similar to that of a wooden pole in the hands of a tightrope walker. If you lose one, it will be difficult to maintain the balance of the hull.

However, this question is not important compared to the subsequent escape plan. Pixiu-1 began a real blind voyage underwater.

If you want to talk about the blind navigation of submarines, whether it is the Navy Resistance Force or the submarines of other countries, they have training. However, no country's submarines can sail blindly at a depth of 250 meters, and most of them sail blindly at a depth of more than 10 meters. You must know that the deeper the water, the more obstacles there are underwater, and the undulating seabed is likely to cause ship destruction and death.

It was also the first time that Tikran had made a blind voyage in deep water, especially in the waters of the near island, where he used sonar to survey the terrain.

The Pixiu used the echo of the sonar to stumble forward on the ocean floor. Tikrian was careful that the submarine was sailing with only one section of silence. Even at this pace, which was slower than walking, the Pixiu hit the reef two or three times. This is the skill of a real sonar soldier, relying on sonar echoes to determine the obstacles ahead. Without modern instruments, sonar crews simply rely on experience, determining the course based on the display on the oscilloscope.

The active sonar of the Maritime Resistance Force is already quite good, but it is also difficult to accurately judge the undulating coral reefs. During the voyage, Ji Keliang and the two sonar soldiers were engrossed, and in the process of escaping, several people could be said to be exhausted.

There were a few times when the movement was a little bigger, and Ji Keliang was very worried about being targeted by the Japanese destroyers again, but the fact was that two hours later, the Pixiu No. 1 had already left the Japanese bombing area, and the Japanese destroyers still did not make any changes.

At a distance of two kilometers, the active sonar is basically ineffective. However, according to the sonar performance of the Maritime Resistance Force, passive sonar can be monitored farther. Ji Kelian only dared to speed up slightly, and the submarine began to flee at a speed of three knots.

With a crunch, Ji Kelian was nervous again.

The balance rudder, which had been smashed by stones, fell off completely at this time, and seawater gushed in through the gap in the rudder shaft.

The leak was not large, but the pressure was enormous, and the seawater sprayed into the boat was like a sharp arrow, and it struck the bulkhead like a sharp arrow. Xue Feng, the leader of the management loss team, moved very quickly, picked up a cushion and covered it. However, Xue Feng's movements could only avoid the sharp sound of water, but could not stop the influx of seawater. Water ingress of this nature cannot be solved underwater.

Ji Keliang quickly calculated the current position of the Pixiu, and it was not out of danger. After all, it was less than three kilometers away from the Japanese destroyer, and the destroyer casually drew a circle on the sea surface, that is, several kilometers.

The gushing sea water kept pouring into the cabin, and the elevator was carefully grasping the depth of the submarine.

In just ten minutes, thirty or forty tons of seawater poured into the ship's hold. This is the most fatal for submarines. At this rate, in two hours, the submarine will lose its buoyancy. But it is estimated that before that time, a large amount of seawater will destroy all the electrical appliances of the submarine, and it will be difficult for the submarine to move at all.

Ji Kelian couldn't hesitate, his choice at the moment could only be to carry out the adventure to the end.

The Pixiu rose rapidly. After a few minutes, it was already twenty meters deep, and the speed of the influx of sea water was greatly reduced.

At this depth, if the devil's destroyer is serious, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape its ears and eyes. However, Ji Keliang's luck was not bad, and in this way, Pixiu No. 1 escaped danger after a night of stealth voyage.

Ji Keliang didn't know if it was God's help, but for the crisp sound just now, the devil's battleship actually made a mistake. You know, that's not a small sound.

Over the next two days, Tikran ventured back to Kwajalein Atoll to pick up the special operations team. However, the Pixiu wanted to continue the battle, and it would definitely not be possible to send the special operations team to Ceylon, so they converged with the Fox No. 1, handed over the personnel, and returned to the Stone Statue Island for overhaul.

After more than ten days, the Fox No. 1 arrived in the Gulf of Aden and provided little support to the Naval Resistance Force, which was short of warships.

Tikryan sank the Kirishima and drew a successful end to the battle of the Arabian Sea for the Maritime Resistance Army. After this battle, the change in the strength of the Japanese navy was not one less battleship, but two. The Hiei was converted into an aircraft carrier by the imps due to damage to the turret and the almost flattened superstructure.

And Kono Wancheng Osa didn't know what the back door was, not only was he not punished, but he was actually promoted to the commander of the third submarine team of the Japanese Navy's Sixth Fleet, and really stepped into the ranks of generals.

This battle was not only a brilliant result for the Naval Resistance Army. The blind voyage of Ji Keliang's Pixiu 1 escape is even close to the submarine tactics of the 21st century (Li Guang commented). This marked a leap forward in the technical and tactical level of the submarine forces of the Maritime Resistance Force. The process of this battle is a very classic page in the submarine textbook of the Maritime Resistance Army.

In the months that followed, the Pixiu 1 was also repaired and refitted, and a vertical torpedo launcher was retrofitted.
