Narrowly escaped, which made Vice Admiral Howard, commander of the British Navy's Mediterranean Fleet, breathe a sigh of relief. However, looking at the chaotic sea, he had an ominous premonition in his heart. The despicable Chinese navy dispatched submarines to attack the British and French navies, and the British and French navies, unprepared for this, will obviously pay a heavy price for this. After all, not every battleship will have destroyers willing to sacrifice themselves to block torpedoes for them!

"Order all destroyers and light cruisers to act at once, find those Chinese submarines and sink them all!" Lieutenant General Howard ordered.

After the Chinese Navy began using submarines three years ago, the British Navy also began research on it. Britain has also designed its own submarines, but the performance gap is still relatively large compared to the submarines of the Chinese Navy. However, in the means of countering submarines, there are some gains. It is possible to sink enemy submarines by dropping depth charges. Although the submarine attacks in a strange way, it is also very vulnerable, and if a depth charge explodes nearby, there is only one dead end on the base!

"Boom! Rumble! At this moment, a violent explosion was heard on the sea in the north. Lieutenant General Howard's face suddenly became gloomy. Because, the battleship that was hit was the battleship 'Resistance' of the British Navy.

"May God bless the battleship 'Resistance'!" Lieutenant General Howard said silently. He could only pray for God's blessing.

The attack on the battleship 'Resistance' was the Chinese Navy's No. 202 submarine. The captain of the boat was none other than Lieutenant Colonel Wu Hailong, deputy captain of the submarine brigade. After passing through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, submarine No. 202 sailed some distance north before coming afloat. By the time they were on the surface, the 201st submarine had already begun to attack the battleship 'Jeanbar'. Lieutenant Colonel Wu Hailong, of course, was unwilling to lose. He immediately began to search for his target.

The place where the submarine No. 202 floated was not far from the battleship 'Resistance', only three kilometers. At this moment, frightened by the attack on the battleship Jeanbar, the battleship Revolt was speeding up and sailing north. Submarine No. 202, right in front of the left of the battleship 'Resistance'. If the battleship 'Resistance' did not change course, it would have passed a kilometer in front of submarine No. 202.

"Haha! The prey is here! Torpedo ready! Lieutenant Colonel Wu Hailong ordered excitedly.

Five minutes later, the battleship 'Resistance' passed in front of submarine No. 202. Lieutenant Colonel Wu Hailong. Immediately the order to open fire was given.

"Bang bang!" Two muffled voices sounded, and two torpedoes rushed quickly towards the battleship 'Resistance', leaving two long water marks on the surface of the sea. At a distance of a thousand meters, two heavy torpedoes take just over 60 seconds.

On the decks on both sides of the battleship 'Resistance'. There were already many sailors on the alert, and at the same time, the dawn was gradually coming, and the sea was no longer dark.

"On the right, two torpedoes!" When the two torpedoes were still 400 meters away from the battleship "Resistance", they were discovered by the sailors of the battleship "Resistance" and immediately shouted a warning.

The battleship 'Resistance' immediately began an emergency turn. Attempts to circumvent torpedoes. However, the 160-meter-long battleship 'Resistance' will take a lot of time to complete the turn. More than a dozen 762mm rapid-fire guns on the starboard side of the 'Resistance'. Heavy fire also began to be fired in an attempt to sink the torpedo. However, their approach was completely futile.

Twenty seconds later. Two torpedoes, one after another, collided with the battleship 'Resistance'. A torpedo exploded in the apostorship of the battleship 'Resistance'. The 'Dreadnought-class' battleship of the British Navy. The armor was relatively weak, the armor on both sides was only 25 inches, that is, 635 mm, and the armor near the waterline was only 120 mm. With such weak armor, the root could not withstand the attack of heavy torpedoes. Weak armor was destroyed, and several nearby compartments began to flood. The damage management personnel of the battleship "Resistance" immediately closed the watertight doors and sealed the compartments that entered the water, thus avoiding the danger of sinking the ship.

The second torpedo, near the stern, blew up the steering gear of the battleship Revolt and the propeller, causing the Revolt to lose its propulsion system and stop on the surface. However, despite the heavy losses, the battleship 'Resistance' was not in danger of becoming silent.

"Hell, didn't sink that battleship! Torpedo ready! Lieutenant Colonel Wu Hailong scolded secretly and prepared to launch a second attack. At this time, the two destroyers of the British Navy had quickly rushed to the direction where the No. 202 submarine was located.

"Captain, the British destroyer is coming, let's avoid the limelight first!" An officer built yì road.

"No, this is a rare opportunity, sink the British battleship first!" Wu Hailong said stubbornly.

"Bang! Boom! "A minute later, submarine No. 202 launched a second attack on the battleship 'Resistance'. At this time, the two destroyers of the British Navy were already less than five hundred meters away from submarine No. 202. The two destroyers opened fire frantically, and dense rapid-fire artillery shells fell around the No. 202 submarine, splashing columns of water.

"Urgent dive!" After the torpedo was fired, Lieutenant Colonel Wu Hailong ordered. At this time, they no longer had the energy to pay attention to the results of the two torpedoes, and they had to find a way to escape from the destroyers of the British Navy.

A large number of bubbles were discharged, and seawater entered the submarine No. 202, and the submarine began an emergency dive. In two minutes, the submarine descended to a depth of fifty meters, and then, at a speed of 3 knots, began to sail south.

By this time, the destroyers of the British Navy had already rushed up. Having lost track of the Chinese submarine, they began dropping depth charges in an attempt to sink the Chinese submarine.

"Boom! Rumble! "Depth charges exploded in the sea, with great power, forming columns of sky-high water on the sea surface. The submarine No. 202 in the sea also received a lot of impact, and the submarine's pressure-resistant shell made a 'creaking, creaking' sound. Fortunately, the depth charges did not explode in the immediate vicinity of submarine No. 202, otherwise they would not have been able to withstand it.

"Ten more meters!" Even so, for the sake of safety, Lieutenant Colonel Wu Hailong ordered the submarine to dive again. The maximum depth of the 'Shark class' submarine is 70 meters, and 60 meters is not the limit. After that, the 202nd submarine slowly left under the surface of the sea and escaped unharmed. The second time they fired, one missed, and the other accurately hit the battleship Revolt. The battleship, which had already been heavily damaged, was completely sent to the bottom of the sea.

In the process, other submarines also completed their attacks one after another, and began to evacuate under the encirclement and suppression of destroyers of the British and French navies.

Ten submarines attacked, and except for one, which was sunk by depth charges from the British and French navies, the remaining nine, all left unharmed. However, they have achieved great results. The battleship 'Resistance' of the British Navy was sunk, the battleship 'Jean-Bal' of the French Navy was sunk, the battleship 'Paris' was sunk, the battleship 'France' was heavily damaged and the battle-fighting was lost, and only the battleship 'Dreadnought' of the British Navy and the battleship 'Lone' of the French Navy remained. In addition, two armored cruisers were sunk and one light cruiser was sunk. Such losses cost most of the strength of the British and French navies.

By this time, the light of dawn had dispelled the darkness, and there was a great deal of water on the sea. The frightened British and French navies are still searching for traces of Chinese submarines, and a large number of depth charges are thrown into the sea as if they don't need money. However, it only killed some passing marine fish, and it was of no use at all.

"Bastard! How did it come to be like this? Vice Admiral Howard of the British Navy's Mediterranean Fleet couldn't believe what was in front of him, three battleships were sunk and one was heavily damaged, which greatly damaged the strength of the British and French navies. Next, what they should think about is not how to block the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, but to save their lives.

At this time, huge columns of smoke rose on the southern sea.

The alarm sounded, and the warships of the British and French navies, which were still cruising in the main channel of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, sounded the alarm.

The Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy, led by two 'Qin-class' battleships, the 'Qin Shi Huang' and the 'Taizi Fusu', entered the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and rushed northward. Several light cruisers and destroyers of the British and French navies on the main channel were unable to resist at all and retreated one after another.

"General, the main force of the Chinese's Indian Ocean Fleet has been killed, what should we do now?" Lieutenant General Howard's aide-de-camp reported with a look of horror. The British and French navies have already lost two-thirds of their battleships, how is it an opponent of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy, which has two 'Qin-class' battleships and two 'Zhonghua-class' battleships.

Vice Admiral Howard is also very troubled, now that the strength of the British and French navies has been greatly damaged, it is obviously not the opponent of the Chinese navy, and if you resist, there is only a dead end. However, if it retreats and allows the Chinese Navy to enter the Red Sea, then the army's logistical supply lines will be finished. By then, the hundreds of thousands of Anglo-French troops fighting in the Kingdom would be dead.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Vice Admiral Howard gave the order: "Report what happened to us to the Admiralty as it is." Also, send a telegram to the four battleships cruising in the Mediterranean, telling them to immediately enter the Red Sea through the Guò Suez Canal and prepare for a decisive battle with the Chinese Navy! Let's head north at once and join up with reinforcements! ”
