Chapter 377: Funeral for the German and Allied fleets

In the North Atlantic, the golden crow has risen, the sky has cleared, and the roar of yesterday's waves has subsided.

Lookouts on the USS George V, the flagship of the advance fleet, were the first to see smoke billowing off in the distance.

Ian also received the news of the arrival of the Allied capital ship group, and after a night of worry, his heart slowly calmed down when he saw the smoke in the distance. Finally converged and safe.

However, before this thought could dissipate in his mind, a terrible alarm sounded.

A thought flashed directly through Ian's mind, the German High Seas Fleet is really coming?

Just as the Allied capital ship group arrived in the Faroe Islands, more than 60 carrier-based dive bombers directly drilled out under the clouds on the horizon, roaring down towards the Allied capital ship group, and the piercing whistling sound shook the eardrums.

The answer is already clear.

"Quick, pick up speed and get closer to the capital group." Ian immediately gave the order, and he was well aware that this was definitely a carrier-based aircraft of the German High Seas Fleet and was in their immediate vicinity.

In the Allied capital ship group, Forbes also began to roar: "The anti-aircraft fire of the ships crossfires, and the German carrier-based aircraft must not be allowed to break through." ”

At this time, Forbes was no longer in the mood to think about when the German High Seas Fleet would appear here, and he was mentally prepared for this last night, and the appearance of German carrier-based aircraft was not abrupt to him.

"Order: The destroyer detachments search for German submarines, the aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft lift me into the air, search for the German high seas fleet, and the detachments are deployed in battle formation. Send a telegram to London, saying that we have encountered in the Faroe Islands and the German High Seas Fleet. Naval battles were already inevitable. ”

Forbes gave the order to fight in one fell swoop, and now he can't afford to be calculating. He didn't have time to ask why the fleet's radars didn't detect these German carrier-based aircraft, and he didn't have time to blame the intelligence services in London, there was only one thing to do, and that was to meet the German High Seas Fleet.

In fact, the Allied fleet radar crews did not fail to discover those planes, but they just thought that they were birds, and they did not think that they were German planes, and they were worried about being punished for false alarms. So they didn't report it at all.

The barrage over the Allied capital ship group became denser and denser, and a number of German dive bombers were hit and sent black smoke and crashed into the sea. There was an explosion. However, quite a few dive bombers broke through the barrage. Mainly because of the attack, plus the speed of the dive. The anti-aircraft fire of the Allied ship group was intensive, but it was discovered too late.

The pilots of the dive bombers were all trained by the Chinese Navy, and each pilot was the elite of German pilots. The level of operating the aircraft is not at all weaker than that of the Chinese Air Force soldiers. Their goal is simple. It was the eight large aircraft carriers in the middle of the Allied fleet. As for the rest of the light carrier cruisers, they simply don't care about it now.

"Oh no!" In the roar of Forbes. A heavy bomb directly hit the aircraft carrier Fury, and immediately the entire deck of the aircraft carrier began to burn, and the fire spread rapidly, and the aviation fuel and ammunition on the deck were quickly ignited. The sound of continuous explosions was heard, and the entire aircraft carrier had slowly tilted, and many burning sailors jumped into the sea with flames.

With the loss of 20 aircraft, the German carrier-based dive bombers broke through the Allied air defense barrage one after another, dropping their own aerial bombs on the aircraft carriers in the middle of the Allied fleet. With the exception of the Radiance and the Victory, the other six aircraft carriers were heavily damaged, all of them lost their combat effectiveness, and there was a possibility of sinking at any time. As long as the burning fire touches the ammunition depot and the hangar, there is only one end, a dead end.

The German carrier-based aircraft, having completed the target, did not immediately climb, but flew over the sea, breaking through to the perimeter of the Allied fleet and then climbing. Because under such a barrage, there is only one result of climbing, that is, being shot down. And the sea-skimming flight, because of the angle, the fleet's anti-aircraft guns are simply out of reach, and only the anti-aircraft machine guns with a relatively small threat can hit it.

At the cost of half the aircraft, the German fleet of carrier-based dive bombers finally broke away from the air defense network of the Allied fleet, and they did not stop and continued to fly into the distance.

And at this time, Allied carrier-based aircraft began to rise into the air.

Twenty minutes later, Forbes looked at the six aircraft carriers that had been half sunk, and said angrily: "Order all carrier-based aircraft to search for the defense line where the German planes are far away, and if they encounter the German high seas fleet, they will directly attack, and the opponent's two aircraft carriers will also be knocked out." ”

Having given an order to the carrier-based aircraft, Forbes did not stop talking: "Order the advance fleet to come and converge, the fleet is moving at full speed, find the German fleet, give me to destroy them." ”

Half an hour later, the Allied carrier-based aircraft group also found the German fleet. More than 300 carrier-based aircraft, at the cost of nearly 200 casualties, finally severely damaged two German aircraft carriers and disabled Germany's pocket battleships. In the end, only 100 carrier-based aircraft of the Allies returned to the British fleet, and many of them were swaying with black smoke.

Just an hour after the results of the battle between the carrier-based aircraft of both sides, the two fleets finally met each other. However, the German fleet, which had already been prepared, completely took the initiative, and the nine capital ships were directly in the direction of the German fleet's advance, and all the guns were turned.

Knock knock!

Half a minute later, after further comparison and correction of firing Zhuyuan, the nine capital ships of the German High Seas Fleet concentrated 74 406-mm main guns and simultaneously spat out tongues of fire to launch the first round of shelling of the capital ships of the Allied fleet.

Suddenly, the cannon roared, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air.

The No. 2 and No. 3 ships of the Qianwei-class were shot one after another, and the violent explosion instantly shattered their ship island, and the raging fire spread everywhere. Billowing smoke instantly obscured the nearby sky and sea. Although the avant-garde class battleships were super battleships, and the superstructure was covered with heavy armor, they were also relatively weak except for the conning tower and main guns. The main gun and conning tower narrowly blocked the armor-piercing energy of the 406-mm shell. However, other parts could not withstand the explosive force of a large number of shells. They were destroyed. With just one round of shelling, the entire superstructure of the two super-battleships was beaten into a hornet's nest.

In the second round of shelling, several 406-mm shells hit the hull of the Qianwei-class No. 2 ship. Two of the three towering smoke whites were interrupted, and the smoke spread everywhere. After Katahiro, the entire battleship was enveloped, and the ventilation system inside the battleship was suddenly filled with thick smoke. Because the battleship accelerated to avoid shelling, the strong exhaust system was activated, so that the smoke was completely pumped into the battleship. The personnel were unable to work under the smoke and ran out one after another. However, there was an overwhelming barrage of shells outside, and those who escaped could not escape the indiscriminate bombardment of the shells.

And those who stayed inside were even more miserable, most of the burning butterfly charcoal of the battleship was inadequately burned, and the thick smoke produced contained a large amount of suffocating gas, and many people who did not have time to run were smoked down one after another. Then suffocated to death.

A few minutes later. The Avantgarde-class No. 2 became an uncontrolled warship. The main guns were turned off, and the battleship became slower and slower, becoming a wandering ship.

The third ship also followed, and the fate was even more tragic than that of the second ship. Second round of shelling. Direct hits to the main gun part. And still multiple shells hit at the same time. The last shot directly penetrated the armor of the ammunition depot, and the super-battleship, with a displacement of more than 50,000 tons, directly turned into a burning "castle" at sea. From time to time, the sound of shells being exploded was heard. Like the second ship, there is no salvation anymore.

At this time, although the two super battleships were not sunk, their entire superstructure had been shattered. Wireless antennas, communication masts, and other facilities were destroyed, and only a few gray-faced commanders in the command tower were lying on the deck, panting. However, the next moment, when the weight of the thick smoke reached its limit, it slammed into the deck, and they choked on it before they could even get up.

Combat effectiveness has been lost. It's only a matter of minutes. The two super battleships were beaten into this virtue, and the officers and men on the other warships of the Allied fleet suddenly felt a chill on the back of their heads, and their hairs stood on end.

It is better to cut off one finger than to hurt one hand, this is what the German Navy wants to do most now, to concentrate firepower and take out the British super battleship, and the avant-garde class is the best target. Clearly, the Germans succeeded.

The battleships were constantly moving, the Germans made a move, and the Allies began to counterattack at this moment.

Although the two salvos of the German fleet had hit two battleships, the Allies counted all the battleships and battlecruisers, there were 38 of them, although there were many useless-class battleships with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons, but they could not hold up a large number.

At the expense of two super senseless-class battleships, the Allied fleet was turned under the roar of Forbes, and the main guns were also adjusting their angles. At the time of the third salvo of the German fleet, the Allied side also began to shoot.

"Azimuth 17, elevation 45, distance 15."

"Ready..., fire!"

Knock knock knock......

The order was given, and all the battleships of the Allied fleet opened fire at the same time, without firing, but only through optical preliminary aiming and launching all the main gun salvos. As the muzzle fire flickered, the shell pierced through the muzzle smoke. Soar high into the sky. With huge parabolas, it flew towards the German High Seas Fleet.

The shell slipped out of the barrel and, after more than twenty seconds, landed in the phalanx of the German fleet.

Shells rained down, and many of them landed on the sea near the German ships, exploding with a bang, stirring up a column of water tens of meters high. The total flowers splashed all around, spraying onto the battleship, drenching the German sailors on board.

Boom Boom Boom ......

Huge water columns tens of meters high were pulled up from the sea one after another. It's spectacular.

However, this magnificence was not so in the eyes of the German soldiers. If a cannonball of such great power hits a battleship. What would it look like? Of course, they naturally thought of the tragic scene of the German battleship hitting the enemy ship just now.

The Germans also returned fire again, and for a time the entire sea was full of water columns from explosions, and the rumbling of artillery was incessant.

Boom Boom Boom ......

———————————

And in these waters, German submarines have quietly arrived, soldier against general, battleship against battleship, their target is the aircraft carrier, as for the destroyer, naturally the German destroyers will deal with it.

On the U-54 submarine, this submarine is actually an improved version of the Shang-class submarine sold by China to Germany. Germany bought a lot of submarines from China, and without exception, all of them were marked with the U-shaped mark.

"Commander! Are we going to send this cruiser to the sea to feed the fish! The submarine observer asked.

"No, don't startle the snake. Our goal is aircraft carriers. The main targets are the Victory and the Radiance, and even if they can't hit these two, they will attack the light carriers. Commander Derry Mantle said.

"Yes!" The observer replied.

After speaking. The observer quickly put away his periscope. The submarine quietly slipped past the side of the British cruiser.

The observer searched for the target again, and the effort paid off, and soon, a British light aircraft carrier appeared in front of them, and the observer hurriedly said: "15 east of the north, 150 distance, one light aircraft carrier, lock!" ”

"Depth 2. Two torpedoes were prepared for simultaneous firing. Derry Mantle ordered.

"Depth 2. Two torpedoes are ready. "The torpedo tube length repeated.

Two torpedo crews quickly fused the torpedoes, and after calibrating the depths, they sent the two torpedoes into the No. 1 and No. 2 torpedo launch bays.

Click! The torpedo compartment is locked.

"One is ready. The transmitter pressure index is normal! "Torpedo Trooper No. 1 reports.

"Number Two is ready. The transmitter pressure index is normal! Torpedo Trowel No. 2 reported.

"Two torpedoes fired in parallel are ready!" The torpedo tube chief reported to the commander Derry Mantle.

Click! Click! Click!

Everyone looked at the pocket watch in the Messenger's hand. The boat was quiet and you could hear the pointers moving.

"It's time!" Said the communications officer.

"Attack!" Shouted.

"Two torpedoes fired in parallel! Preparation! Launch! The torpedo chief ordered.

The two torpedo crews quickly pulled the trigger for firing.

"Torpedo No. 1 fired!" Torpedo Corpsman No. 1 reports.

"Torpedo No. 2 fired!" Torpedo No. 2 reports.

"Observer, report the situation!" Derry shouted.

At this moment, on the sea of the Faroe Islands, the sound of artillery is rumbling. Rough. Under this turbulent sea, two life-threatening torpedoes were rushing towards the British light aircraft carrier Ares of War.

A ground crew member on the Ares who was refueling the plane happened to be on the port side of the aircraft carrier, and happened to see two things in a straight line and snorting bubbles, quickly approaching the battleship he was on.

"What is this?" The ground soldier muttered. He had seen torpedoes sneering and bubbling when attacking, but those torpedoes were sailing on the water, and now there are only bubbles on the water, but there are no torpedoes. So he kept staring at the two bubbles until they hit the Ares at his feet, and looked down at what it was

"Oh! My God! The ground soldier waited for a violent earthquake, and then with two loud bangs, a huge flame rushed up, enveloping him and flying into the gloomy sky.

"Boom!"

"Report, hit the target!" Observer report.

"Immediately fill the rudder and get out of here!" Derry Mantle commanded.

"Sir, we still have two torpedoes from our torpedo tubes, wouldn't it be better to give them a look while they are still in a panic!" The observer said.

"What so much nonsense? We are so close that it is easy for the other party to find out and carry out the order! Derry Mantle said.

"Yes!" The observer was just about to put away the periscope when he suddenly saw a loud bang in the camera.

They weren't the only submarine in the area, the other submarine also fired two torpedoes at the Ares. The Ares was hit and exploded again, and the four torpedoes tore four large openings on the Ares, and the water pump on the aircraft carrier, which was only nearly 10,000 tons, had no time to discharge the incoming seawater and slowly sank.

"Report! I don't know that the submarine fired a torpedo and hit the target we just saw. "Observer report.

"Which ship is it, it's actually coming to grab food!" Derry said unhappily, "Leave it alone, let's move on to the next target." ”

The observers had no choice but to put away the periscopes, and the U-54 quickly withdrew from the search range of the Russian fleet.

On the submarine Liaodong, when the German High Seas Fleet and the Allied fleet were fighting.

"Attention everyone! Attention everyone! "The battle alarm sounded, and the red signal lights flashed all over the boat.

"Immediately enter their respective combat positions and prepare for battle!"

"Repeat. Immediately enter your respective combat posts and get ready for battle! ”

"This is not a drill!"

"Repeat! This is not a drill! ”

The sounds are not loud, but in the space of the submarine, they are very clear.

Four hours have passed since the battle on the sea, and they can still hear the sound of explosions coming from the sea while they are staying at the bottom of the sea.

"Another submarine passed by us, again a German submarine." The sonar man listened to the movement outside the submarine. He spoke.

"A large battleship is being exchanged fire a little and a half nautical miles to the left, a Bismarck-class battleship."

"Rise to periscope height." Xu Wei said.

"Yes, start diving."

Operating the periscope, a Bismarck-class battleship burning with raging flames appeared in Xu Wei's eyes on the sea. At the moment, as it moved forward, it was firing at the sea in the distance. In the distance, the sea was full of burning smoke, and the sky, which was originally quite clear, was already covered in thick smoke.

Seeing the German sailors who were fighting the fire above Bismarck, Xu Wei sighed: "Damn, this thing is really thick." I beat it like this. They can continue to fight. I'm here to see what kind of opponent he is. ”

Turning the direction, the battleship that fought with Bismarck was also imprinted in Xu Wei's eyes, seeing this. He couldn't help but scream again: "It's really fierce." One-on-two. It doesn't look like it's falling into the downswing yet, which is a good head. The Hood-class battlecruisers and the Prince of Wales couldn't even take a Bismarck, what a straw egg. ”

On the sea. The German Bismarck-class battleships were already scarred, their hulls were covered with burning flames, and many German sailors were fighting the fires. And the naval guns above were still sharp, constantly shelling the Hood in the distance.

Although the Hood and the Prince of Wales together now had more firepower than Bismarck, the situation on the battlefield was in Bismarck's favor. With the British ships facing the Germans in the bow, the Hood and the Prince of Wales could only use four and six forward guns, respectively, while the German warships were able to use all their firepower to return fire on the British.

Bismarck fired another volley, hitting the middle of the Hood, causing a fire on the deck of the lifeboat, which spread rapidly.

The Allies, realizing that they were at a disadvantage, ordered the Hood to rudder 20 degrees to the left in order to use all its firepower. Three minutes later, just after the Hood had finished turning, Bismarck fired another salvo, just as one shell pierced the Hood's weak deck armor and detonated the main ammunition depot.

"Boom!"

The Hood instantly broke in half and quickly sank into the sea, and more than a thousand officers and men, including the military commander of the Hood, did not even have a chance to escape.

Bismarck then immediately directed his guns at the Prince of Wales, where the bridge was hit by a 15-inch shell, four 15-inch shells and four 8-inch shells, and the hull was severely damaged.

At this time, Bismarck was also uncomfortable, although the armor protection was very thick, but under the siege of the Hood and the Prince of Wales, it was also badly damaged. Three rounds were fired, the No. 2 fuel tank in the bow was damaged and ruptured, and the bow near the waterline was broken, which not only leaked a large amount of heavy oil, but also reduced the speed to 28 knots. At least dozens, if not hundreds, of large-caliber armor-piercing shells and hundreds of small-caliber shells hit the entire hull, and now they are also in dilapidation. Despite this, the Bismarck is still floating on the surface of the sea and has enough combat power. (This is also one of the characteristics of the Bismarck, although the superstructure was completely broken and exploded, the hull remained rigid)

"Little ones, let's get started." When both sides had finished their work, Xu Wei shouted to the crew.

"Roar!" The crew in the Liaodong are full of energy, and every day is boring training, which has made them almost crazy, and now they are finally going to make a move, how can they not be excited.

"The first target, Bismarck." Xu Wei said.

"The distance is 2 nautical miles, and the angle is 18 to the west." Radar Soldier Road.

"Launch tubes No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, wired guided oxygen torpedoes are ready." Xu Wei said.

"Torpedo No. 1 was prepared and began to pressurize. The pressure is reached, and it can be fired. The torpedo tube chief stared at the pressure gauge in front of him and spoke.

……

"Torpedo No. 4 was prepared and began to pressurize. The pressure is reached, and it can be fired. ”

"Launch." Xu Wei gave the launch order.

Having received the command to launch, the torpedo tube chief pressed the button to launch.

The underwater Typhoon-class attack nuclear submarine was slowly moving forward like a sea monster, and suddenly the bow of the submarine showed four openings, and in a short time, four torpedoes dragging a long thin line quickly shot out of the four openings.

This thin line is the conductor that controls the direction of the torpedo, and the sailors in the submarine control the direction of the torpedo and direct the torpedo to attack the target that needs to be attacked. Because underwater radio waves cannot travel. Unless it is sonar guidance, or a more advanced guidance method, it can only be guided by wire.

The oxygen torpedo is the latest scientific and technological product of China, originally this invention was the proudest invention of Japan in later generations, but now China has come out, and compared with the oxygen torpedo of later Japan, although the performance of this oxygen torpedo of China is similar, but in terms of safety is much better than that of later Japan's oxygen torpedo. At the very least, there will not be as many accidents as in later Japan, turning this great invention into a double-edged sword that hurts others and hurts oneself. In the hands of China. He's a sword from the bottom of the ocean. The lethality is also concealed, and the ability is absolutely strong.

The oxygen torpedo has a diameter of 650 mm, a total length of 9 meters, a weight of 2,700 kg (depending on the model), and is divided into three parts: the mine head, the fuel chamber, and the power and control equipment compartment from front to back. The front part of the torpedo is 1.4 meters long. Thunderhead weighing 680 kg. It contains 600 kilograms of the latest Chinese TNT explosives. Use a trigger fuse. Behind the thunder head is the fuel chamber, including the oxygen tank and the kerosene tank, which are nearly 4 meters long. Accounts for almost half of the total length of the torpedo. The oxygen chamber is 3.448 meters long, contains 980 liters of pure oxygen, has a pressure level of 225 kg/cm², and has a total oxygen weight of 299 kg. Behind the oxygen chamber was a kerosene tank with 128 liters of kerosene weighing 106 kg. Behind the combustion chamber is the equipment compartment, power compartment, steering gear, etc., which are equipped with equipment such as starting combustion chambers, depth gauges, seawater pumps, double-acting piston engines, etc., to provide power to the torpedo and control the navigation state. The engine output is 200 horsepower (speed 36~38 knots), 300 horsepower (speed 40~42 knots) and 520 horsepower (speed 48~50 knots). The tail of the torpedo is a double reversal propeller, the diameter of the front propeller is 568 mm, the rear propeller is 530 mm, there are 4 blades, the rudder surface is adopted, and the servo is controlled by three compressed air cylinders inside the torpedo to ensure the course and depth of the torpedo.

The oxygen torpedo can be called the pinnacle of the world's torpedo technology development, and its indicators far surpass similar weapons in other countries in the world. Due to the successful realization of pure oxygen combustion, the torpedo power has been greatly increased, and the range and speed have been greatly improved, reaching 22,000 meters at a maximum speed of 50 knots, and a staggering 40,000 meters at a low speed of 36 knots! This distance was even beyond the range of the main guns of the main battleships of the countries at that time.

The use of pure oxygen also makes the torpedo's track very small, very stealthy and not easy to detect. Since the main engine is started by air, there is still a clear track at the initial distance of 300~400 meters of launch, but this distance is completely negligible compared to the ultra-long range of the oxygen torpedo. In addition to the advantages of long range, fast speed and small track, the power of the oxygen torpedo is also unprecedented, and its charge reaches 600 kilograms, which greatly exceeds the torpedo charge referred to in the underwater protection design of warships of various countries, and it is difficult to imagine that any ship can withstand the explosive impact of half a ton of explosives.

Like the Typhoon-class attack nuclear submarine, this is also the first battle of this submarine sword. No matter how advanced a weapon is, it still needs to be tested by actual combat, and the object of the test is also very important.

And Xu Wei set his goal on Bismarck, who had super protective capabilities, and he wanted to use a super battleship like Bismarck to complete the debut of this set of sharp weapons.

The oxygen torpedo was flying fast, and at this moment the German sailors on the Bismarck were busy fighting the fire, and they did not even have time to care about the Prince of Wales, which had already begun to withdraw. But they didn't know that the eyes of death were already on them, and the scythe had reached out and was dancing towards them.

Oxygen torpedoes travel under the water silently, and there are no bubbles, which are easily exposed. Unaware of all the Germans, four torpedoes were under the control of submarine sailors and simultaneously hit Bismarck, who was slowly advancing.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

A huge explosion was heard, setting off a huge wave, mixed with sparks, and the German sailors who had been staying on the side of the ship did not even know how to die, and their stumps were thrown high, and some fell into the sea, and some fell on the ship.

The behemoth swayed violently in the explosion, and the hull seemed to be raised much higher by the sea. The four torpedoes were basically concentrated in the middle of Bismarck's hull, breaking through four openings with a diameter of two or three meters, a large amount of seawater poured in, and the hull began to tilt slowly.

Bismarck's screams and cries continued to be heard, as he had fought the Hood and the Prince of Wales. The hull of the ship was not damaged much, and now it was directly blown open with four large openings, and it could not stop the influx of sea water at all.

In fact, Bismarck's skin is thick enough, and if it is replaced by an ordinary super battleship, then this opening will be at least one meter larger. And those ships with small tonnage, in such an explosion, have absolutely no chance of getting lucky.

Although the water release valve on the Bismarck was constantly pumping seawater out of the hull, it was only a drop in the bucket. The sailors in the engine room of the ship and the sailors inside the hull did not even have a chance to escape, and were directly drowned. The end of suffocation. It's already doomed.

Liaodong.

"It's really a guy made in the Empire, the skin is thick enough and it's very resistant to beating." When Xu Wei saw Bismarck being concentrated, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If you change it to another battleship." It's now half sunk. ”

"Captain. No matter how strong it is, it can't withstand another attack. Just give him two more torpedoes and a quick deal, anyway, we brought a lot of torpedoes. I can't run out. The torpedo tube chief looked excited, eager to try.

"Well, send two more torpedoes and send Bismarck directly." Xu Wei nodded.

Technical data of the Typhoon-class attack nuclear submarine: water displacement of 6,500 tons, submersible displacement of 8,100 tons, ultimate depth of 380 meters, total length of 100 meters, total width of 13.5 meters, power system single-seat pressurized water reactor, single-shaft 7-blade propeller, top speed on the water 20 knots, top speed in the water 33 knots, crew 72~100 people, torpedoes 4 533 mm torpedo tubes, 4 650 mm torpedo tubes, towed line array VLF sonar, low/medium frequency active/passive search and tracking sonar, inertial navigation, An integrated navigation system composed of electrostatic gyroscopes, satellite navigation (spy satellites), radiolocators, very low frequency towed buoy antennas, very low frequency towed buoyancy antennas, search radars, direction finders, friend or foe identification devices, combat intelligence command system, and continuous underwater sneaking time for two months.

The Typhoon class has a good teardrop-shaped appearance and is a double-hull in terms of hull structure. The inner layer is a pressure-resistant shell, made of alloy. The pressure-resistant shell of the alloy can ensure that the typhoon class can survive on the seabed at a depth of about 380 meters. At present, the maximum depth of weapons that can strike underwater submarines in the world is only 200 meters, and once it reaches 400 meters, there will be no weapon that can threaten Typhoon-class submarines.

From the trunk to the stern, there are seven pressure-resistant cabins: weapons compartment, command cabin, forward auxiliary engine room, reactor, rear auxiliary engine room, main motor room and tail cabin. They are designed in strict accordance with unsinkable standards, which strengthens the anti-sinking resistance of the whole boat. Usually one compartment is flooded, and it can still carry out combat missions, two or three cabins are flooded, and the submarine can float at sea for hours for the crew to escape.

The Typhoon-class nuclear submarine has the following characteristics: First, it has a high speed, with a maximum underwater speed of 33 knots and good underwater mobility. The second is the use of advanced pressurized water reactors, which have low underwater noise and greater self-sufficiency. Third, the pressure-resistant structure and materials are adopted, and the potential depth is large.

And the typhoon class has another very significant feature, that is, the bomb load is large. With a displacement of 9,000 tons under water, it is definitely the first submarine of such a large size in the world, and under normal circumstances, it has 86 torpedoes, and can carry up to 124 torpedoes of various types.

At the beginning, Chen Shao originally wanted to build a few more, but in terms of logistics and maintenance support, he dispelled the idea of mass production, and in the end, he only produced four such submarines. When Chen Shao learned about the annual maintenance cost of such a submarine, he had always been very steady, and he almost scolded his mother.

Of course, you get what you pay for, and it's a little more expensive, but as long as it's worth the money. Now the battle is the best proof of this, Bismarck was hit by two torpedoes again, this time the hull was completely tilted, and it also began to sink slowly.

"Knocked out one, now go and kill the Prince of Wales, and knock out one on each side, so it's fair, hehe!" Xu Wei smiled, and then ordered:

"Turn around and head full speed toward the Prince of Wales."

Less than five kilometers away from the Prince of Wales, Xu Wei gave the order to attack: "Torpedoes No. 1 to No. 4, launched at the same time, target the Prince of Wales." ”

"It's 5 nautical miles, and the angle is 12 miles east." Radar Soldier Road.

"The torpedo is ready and ready to be fired at any time." Torpedo tubes are long.

"Then you're welcome, take advantage of the fact that there are no other ships in the waters around here, and kill it." Xu Wei said.

Many Allied sailors on the Prince of Wales were looking at Bismarck, which suddenly exploded in the distance, and many of them looked puzzled. There are no other Allied ships here, could it be that the fire has burned to the ammunition depot? Detonated the explosives so that the turtle shell broke itself from the inside?

And whatever the reason, such a scene is something that all Allied soldiers would love to see. They were shocked by the results of the Hood before, and they had no choice but to withdraw from the battle. Originally, we were worried about the other party's pursuit, but now there is a 360-degree turn, which makes us all excited. It doesn't get any better ending than this.

However, they were not happy for long, only felt a violent shaking of the hull, and many people did not know what was going on, so they went to their God, and as for whether they would actually go to heaven after death, it was not clear.

Following Bismarck, the Prince of Wales was also hit by four oxygen torpedoes, and the sudden explosion directly broke the battleship at the waist and sank quickly. They didn't understand what was going on.

The elimination of these two battleships gave the Liaodong a strong stroke in the merit book. But Xu Wei was not satisfied with such a record, and their task was not yet completed. He was well aware that in this ocean, the naval battles between Germany and the Allies continued. It's just that the naval battles have been going on for a long time, and now they are all scattered, looking for their respective opponents. At this moment, there is fighting everywhere in this sea, and the rumbling cannon can be heard in the distance.

Under Xu Wei's order, the Liaodong rushed like a ghost in various seas where the battle was being fought. On the premise of ensuring that he conceals himself, he is looking for an opportunity to attack and weaken the strength of both sides as much as possible.

After that, both sides of the war could encounter inexplicable attacks, but neither side thought much about it and put the source of the attack on the other party. As for the torpedoes, they didn't think about it, but no one found any trace of the torpedoes, but the other side's shells kept flying towards them. So a wonderful misunderstanding was formed, and this misunderstanding also led to the increasingly fierce fighting. Because the commanders of both sides can often hear that another of their capital ships has been sunk, which makes everyone red-eyed.

We will not give up until we destroy each other.

The warring sides went from day to night, and from night to dawn. When everyone felt deep fatigue, they gradually woke up. At this moment, the battleship area is already covered with battleship wreckage, and the capital ships of both sides no longer have any combat effectiveness. And those cruisers and aircraft carriers, all finished.

At this moment, it is impossible to fight, and when the ammunition is exhausted, there will be a tacit understanding to retreat. And when the commanders of both sides saw their current fleets, they were all dead.

However, there was another person who laughed in this sea area, and that was Xu Wei. By the course of a day, only four torpedoes had been used up on the submarine. And his record can definitely be called brilliant. If it weren't for the fact that both sides were anxious and ignored some details, otherwise, he would definitely not have gained such a huge gain. It can only be said that the time and place are favorable.
