Chapter 180: Three Battles in One Day 2
For more than a month, Ren Tianyang, the captain of the second submarine team, was in a hurry. Although transporting personnel is also an important task, after all, it is not as cool as packing up little Japan.
The Maritime Resistance Army moved to Ceylon, and the submarine force was divided into two teams, and all four large submarines were assigned to the first team, the purpose of which was of course to fight in the ocean.
Ren Tianyang and Ji Keliang are on par with each other, and it is possible for anyone to be the captain of the first team. In the Naval Resistance Army, the unwritten rule is that a company or battalion should have a slightly higher status among units at the same level. However, Ren Tianyang believed that small submarines were more suitable for attack, did not need to sail to the ocean, had a fast combat pace, and were easier to achieve results, so he rushed to be the captain of the second submarine team.
The Second Submarine Squadron had a peculiarity: according to Li Guang's arrangement, the commander should stay on the Pixiu No. 3 submarine and direct the battle. Pixiu-3 is a supply submarine, although it is also equipped with torpedo launchers, but the power is small, the speed is slow, and even the depth of the dive is only 35 meters, and the combat effectiveness is not at all comparable to that of the Lixiu-class submarines. Ren Tianyang likes to fight on the front line, but as a result, the official level crushed people to death, and he transferred the deputy captain Quan Yonghai to Pixiu No. 3.
Therefore, in the second submarine team, Ren Tianyang was just anxious, while Quan Yonghai was depressed, and he didn't even get a task to save people. In the past month, Quan Yonghai has slandered Ren Tianyang countless times. However, for the next battle plan, he took the risk of mooring Pixiu No. 3 outside the port of Weizhou Island.
The depressed Quan Yonghai knew the importance of intelligence, and he investigated day and night for more than a month. Seeing the Japanese warships coming and going in the harbor, the intelligence was quite clear, but in order to prevent the grass from startling the snakes, Pixiu No. 3 endured for a month and did not launch an attack.
Intelligence is especially important in submarine warfare than in other warfare. This information includes not only enemy intelligence but also weather and sea conditions, ocean currents, and seabed topography. Quan Yonghai's efforts were not in vain, and in the past month, he has made the deployment of the Japanese troops on Weizhou Island clear. The anti-submarine nets, shipping lanes, mine arrangements and even ocean currents of the Japanese army in Weizhou Port were all under control.
In the early morning of the 26th, when the submarine squadron attacked by the second team, Quan Yonghai continued to be depressed. The official level crushed people to death, Ren Tianyang personally led the team to attack on the grounds of rich experience, and Quan Yonghai still stayed outside the port to be responsible for responding.
This Weizhou Island is the target of the Maritime Resistance Army. The idea of sneaking up on Weizhou Island is not a day and a half, since Li Guang served as the captain of Pixiu No. 1, Ren Tianyang and Ji Keliang also have this idea. Ren Tianyang even once sneaked to the entrance of the port, but the Pixiu submarine was too large to enter the port without the Japanese army noticing.
Ji Kelian has a special affection for the submarine and has a lot to do with it. The submarine has a surface displacement of 435 tons and an underwater displacement of 600 tons. The total height of the submarine hull and the conning tower is no more than five meters five. And the total height of the Pixiu submarine is really excessive, reaching ten meters. If it is not a deep-water seaport, it will not be able to enter at all, and the average water depth of Weizhou Port is six or seven meters, and the main channel is only seven or eight meters deep.
Quan Yonghai should be the first to make the most contribution in this battle. With perfect intelligence, the battle for the sneak attack on Weizhou Port went extremely smoothly.
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the three Fox submarines switched to electric power at a silent speed of three knots. The whole process of entering the port was all blind sailing, and even the periscope was not used. At this level of technology, the elite of German submarines was no more than that, and it took three submarines a full two hours from outside the port to enter Weizhou Port. During the whole process, neither the searchlights of the Japanese troops nor the mobile posts of the Japanese troops in the port were aware of it. It can be said that this infiltration process alone can be called a high level.
Blind navigation in the vast sea may not be too difficult, but it is absolutely not easy to travel underwater according to the channel on the drawing, don't look at the key route is only two or three kilometers, but to do this, several key technical officers on the submarine have exercised many times on the map, exhausting their mental strength.
In the heavily guarded harbor of the Japanese army, Ren Tianyang even had time to take a look at the Japanese warships from the periscope, Ren Tianyang was extremely bold, he judged that it was impossible for the Japanese army to listen to the sonar in the harbor, so he used the Morse code to convey the attack targets of each boat.
At 2:20 a.m., the three submarines had already found their targets. With Ren Tianyang's order, in less than three minutes, three submarines and eighteen torpedoes were all fired.
The Japanese army arranged 11 warships in Weizhou Port, the largest one was a seaplane aircraft carrier, followed by two armored coastal defense ships of about 4,000 tons, and the rest except for two supply ships were small destroyers or patrol gunboats.
Back then, Ren Tianyang had the experience of torpedoes and arrows tactically eight torpedoes against eight ships, but none of them were sunk. This time, Ren Tianyang has fully learned a lesson. The three largest warships were each assigned three torpedoes. The rest of the ships were mostly a torpedo.
Now the torpedoes of the Naval Resistance Army are no longer what they were at the beginning, and the level of manufacturing and design has been greatly improved. One of the most obvious advances in lightning is the charge level. At the beginning, the torpedo could only charge more than 180 kilograms, but now it has been raised to 300 kilograms.
The destructive power of explosives is not twice as large as one more charge, but at least twice as great.
Eighteen torpedoes exploded in a few minutes, and Ren Tianyang didn't know how the Japanese devils felt. But his feeling was absolutely uncomfortable, Weizhou Port was a semi-enclosed harbor, the area was not large, Ren Tianyang was inside the submarine, his head was buzzing by the explosion hundreds of meters away, and he was almost vomiting in discomfort.
Evacuation is an extremely important item in the training subjects of the submarine forces. The officers and men of the three submarines were quite skillful in the drills. Immediately after firing the last torpedo, the chief engineers raised the power to the maximum.
The port of Weizhou is not large, and three submarines can rush out of the port in five minutes.
However, the Japanese devils are not the French navy, nor the Chilean navy, and the port is quite heavily guarded. Less than a minute after the explosion of the first torpedo, the Japanese garrisons at various posts were already on the move.
The defenders of the shore gun batteries set up by the devils at the exit of the harbor were all in place in less than three minutes, and by this time the last torpedo had just exploded. After a few minutes of panic, the Japanese devils in the barracks had also begun to prepare to rescue the battleship.
The devil's shore artillery is designed to target the periphery, and the artillery arranged on the battery cannot shoot at the port at all, and the little devil can only shoot indiscriminately in a panic after encountering an attack. The devil failed to accurately judge the key points of the blockade at the first time, and the panicked shooting gave Ren Tianyang time to escape.
The submarine is swimming underwater at high speed, and it is difficult to see the position of the submarine no matter how bright the searchlight is. But the devils are not all fools, and when the devils calm down, some smart people start shooting at the fairway.
At this moment, five or six kilometers outside the port, two flat-height dual-purpose guns on the Pixiu No. 3 began to fire continuously.
THE 76MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUN EQUIPPED ON THE PIXIU 3 IS A SELF-MADE FLAT-HEIGHT DUAL-PURPOSE GUN OF THE NAVAL RESISTANCE ARMY, AND EVEN THE PICKUP AIR DEFENSE DESTROYER HAS NOT HAD TIME TO EQUIP IT.
THIS GUN IS STOLEN FROM THE GERMAN 88MM GUN, ALTHOUGH THE CALIBER IS A LITTLE SMALLER, BUT THE PROPORTION OF THE BODY AND BARREL REACHES 71 TIMES THE DIAMETER, THE RATE OF FIRE IS HIGH, THE FIRING RANGE IS LONG, THE ACCURACY IS GOOD, AND THE POWER IS GREAT.
In one minute, two guns fired nearly thirty shells. The biggest advantage of the long-barreled artillery was that the ballistics were straight and easy to aim, and these 30 shells hit at least two Japanese gun positions in one minute, causing more than 10 casualties.
The Japanese devils were dazed by the sudden sea artillery fire. Although some people who understood had begun to block the channel with artillery fire, when they discovered the target on the sea, they did not understand either, and habitually turned the muzzle of the gun to fire at Pixiu No. 3. Anyway, the Japanese devils on the fort were there to deal with opponents outside the port, and under the inertia of thinking, they had no ability to analyze at all.
Pixiu 3 is a supply submarine, which can carry thousands of tons of diesel fuel itself. Other submarines may still have a chance to survive if they are hit by a shot, but if Pixiu No. 3 is hit by a shot, it will definitely be finished.
Quan Yonghai is known as the first elf ghost of the submarine fleet, how could he put himself in such a dangerous realm. The firing time of the deck gun is strictly limited to one minute, because the gunner of the devil needs a minute to turn the gun muzzle and adjust the angle, even if he moves quickly.
But this small means is definitely not all of Quan Yonghai, with the deck guns cease-fire. More than two hundred meters away on the right side of the submarine, a pile of fire was ignited.
It's a strange situation, the sea suddenly catches fire. In a world where there are no demons and monsters, this phenomenon can only be explained by humans - this is the second small means of Jeon Yonghai.
All people have the illusion that when they see a little light in the dark night, they will subconsciously take that light as their goal. Quan Yonghai's small tactics succeeded again, and the devil's artillery fired at the fire one after another, and the Pixiu No. 3 submarine dived safely and was unharmed.
Within a minute or two of the Japanese gunners turning their guns, three Fox submarines had already rushed out of port. Careful pre-war planning and detailed intelligence played a role, and the criterion for victory in this battle was not whether the Japanese warship could be sunk, but whether the submarine could get out smoothly. By this time, there was no doubt that the naval resistance army had won a great victory.
By the time the devil remembered that he had fallen for the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, it was already too late, and the three submarines of the Maritime Resistance Army had already rushed out of the harbor and were dozens of meters below the surface of the sea.
Ten minutes later, the four submarines were completely out of danger. The whole process was smooth and smooth. The submarine fleet of the Maritime Resistance Army has changed the tactics of sneak attack on the harbor from study to exploration, coupled with absorbing German tactics, and now it is becoming more and more mature.
In this sneak attack, the Japanese Navy lost 11 large and small warships and suffered 200 casualties, and the Navy's resistance was only a submarine that was hit by a few machine-gun bullets and lost some patent leather. Although the results of this battle are inferior to the original sneak attack on the Chilean military port, it is more classic in a tactical sense.
If Germany's submarine combat level is first-class in World War II, this sneak attack by the Naval Resistance Force is the super-first-class among the first-class, and both the combat preparation and battle plan are all flawless.
