With the sound of rumbling water on the sea, Guo Benchang saw Pixiu No. 1 exposed the sea.

It was Ji Keliang who broke the siege of Pixiu No. 2.

As early as the discovery of the Pixiu No. 2 artillery battle on the water, Ji Keliang gave up the evacuation at that time, he could not throw the Pixiu No. 1 to escape, and all the torpedo soldiers quickly loaded the torpedoes under the sea surface.

When the Pixiu 2 was at its maximum horsepower, the two submarines of the Pixiu also discovered that the situation was abnormal. The same did not evacuate, but began to hurry up and load the torpedo.

At this time, Ji Kelian used Morse code to contact the two Fox submarines, and immediately issued an order for the two Fox submarines to go east and intercept the Japanese seaplane carriers.

Although he was not experienced in many battles, Tikrian remained calm in times of crisis, and sonar soldiers accurately reported the number of ships on the sea.

In 30 minutes, Pixiu No. 1 loaded six torpedoes, and Ji Keliang led Pixiu No. 1 to search for Pixiu No. 2.

There are nearly twenty wrecked ships on the sea, and the sea is covered with fire and smoke, and the sea surface is like a large labyrinth. Relying on the observer's eyesight, it is impossible to accurately find Pixiu 2. It was easy for the sonar to determine the location of Pixiu 2, but Pixiu 1 could not keep up with the underwater speed. The arrangement of the scrap ship on the surface of the water was very irregular at this time, and it was very unsafe to sail at periscope depth, so in order to catch up with Pixiu II, Ji Keliang had a lot of effort.

Under normal circumstances, the periscope depth is that the two submarines can be contacted by radio, but the Pixiu 2 was bombed just by a periscope, and the periscope and antenna are almost together, so even the radio and telegraph cannot be contacted.

In the process of searching, Ji Kelian once again killed a Japanese armed merchant ship.

LISTENING TO THE SOUND OF THE 88MM CANNON BEGINNING TO THIN OUT (ONE CANNON WAS DESTROYED), THE ANXIETY IN JIKE'S CONSCIENCE CAN BE IMAGINED. Hurry up, Pixiu No. 1 was quite timely, and Pixiu No. 2 shot at the most critical moment and killed the devil's armed merchant ship.

As for a couple of violent explosions in the distance, it was the masterpiece of two Foxy submarines.

The attack on the Japanese seaplane carrier by the two submarines was very successful, and it was not easy to find a battleship in the dark sea, but the battleship of the devil was definitely coming towards the fire, which reduced the difficulty of searching for the two submarines.

In fact, not long after the battle began, the Japanese seaplanes had already reached the sky over the battlefield. However, the smoke was thick and the flames were soaring, and the view of the fighters in the air was affected, and the pilots could see the ships on fire on the sea, but they could not see the swarthy submarines.

The smoke on the screen is staggering, because this time there were six tankers in the Japanese fleet, and four of them were bombed. The fire and smoke emitted by oil tankers are definitely not comparable to ordinary merchant ships.

As a result, these seaplanes became simply blind, and for more than half an hour they did not even strafe fire, and they really couldn't distinguish between friend and foe.

The luck of the two submarines was not good, but they could not resist the carelessness of the devils. The two Yakuza had already run out of more than 10 nautical miles in half an hour, and it was calculated that under normal circumstances, the Japanese battleship should be able to find it.

You know, the little devil's seaplane carrier is about fifty kilometers away from the fleet, that is, more than twenty nautical miles. Half an hour has to run ten nautical miles, and the two sides should engage in battle in about half an hour.

In fact, the devil had indeed run more than ten nautical miles, but the direction was slightly off, and he missed two Fox submarines. It was at this time that the devil's plane could not see the sea situation clearly, and was continuously contacting the mothership.

The Maritime Resistance Force could not crack the code of the devil, and it was difficult to figure out the content of the devil's communication, but the Yagi antenna equipped on the submarine could receive the radio signal of the Japanese army, and it was easy to determine the direction of the devil's warship.

There is a mental calculation or no intention, and the subsequent sneak attack is like probing for something, and the hand is caught.

In the aftermath, the Maritime Resistance Army sank a total of 24 Japanese merchant ships and seaplane aircraft carriers. Originally, He Shuoheng thought that Pixiu No. 2 might not be able to be saved, and even Ji Keliang thought that it would be scrapped. There are more than 10 large and small holes on the submarine, and it is terrifying to look at.

But when you enter the submarine, you find that except for a few small leaks, the submarine's pressure-resistant hull is almost intact. By the end of the battle, the total amount of water inside the submarine was only 60 or 70 cubic meters, and most of it had been pumped out by the personnel who were in charge of the damage.

In fact, Pixiu No. 2 can survive under absolutely inferior artillery fire, which has a huge relationship with the lack of water intake, and if there is more water intake, it will be difficult for the submarine to ensure high-speed maneuvering. A little more water intakes, and the submarine will sink.

Pixiu 2 was able to withstand such heavy artillery fire without sinking for two reasons. First, when Pixiu No. 2 was originally built, Li Guang's reserve of alloy steel plates was not enough, so he could only use ordinary marine steel plates, so he thickened the pressure-resistant shell, making the pressure-resistant shell an astonishing one and a half inches thick, and the strength was comparable to armor. Second, the devil is stingy, all the grenades used on the armed merchant ships are used, and there is not a single armor-piercing shell at all. After the grenade broke through the half-inch steel plate of the water tank on the outer layer of the submarine, the energy transmission to the pressure-resistant shell has been greatly weakened. If it was an armor-piercing bullet, Pixiu 2 would have been sunk many times.

After this battle, Pixiu 2 has completely lost its combat effectiveness, and Ji Keliang still has a task so he has to send a fox submarine and supply ship to escort it back to Shixiang Island for overhaul. Tikerian rushed to Nauru Island and the Marshall Islands with two submarines to prepare for the next operation. However, the Pixiu 2 was a blessing in disguise, and in this overhaul, four vertically launched torpedoes were retrofitted and installed.

Among the existing submarines of the Maritime Resistance Force, in fact, only two Pixiu have the conditions for installing vertically launched torpedoes. Not because of technical reasons, but because the length of the electric mine is about 7 meters, plus some operating space, it needs to be eight or nine meters high. The height of the Pixiu-class submarine is more than 10 meters, just enough to install a vertically launched torpedo. However, it is limited by space and cannot be filled from the inside.

Since then, Pixiu-2 has become the submarine equipped with the largest number of torpedo launchers in the Maritime Resistance Forces, with the number of launchers reaching 12.

Over the course of the day, in three locations, the Japanese lost merchant ships and battleships with a displacement of one hundred thousand tons. One of the inconspicuous losses was a blow to the Japanese Navy. Ten tankers were lost in one day (five in the Persian Gulf, one in Weizhou Island, and four in the Pacific), totaling 45,000 tons. This figure may not seem very staggering, and the value of oil tankers and oil is not very high, but in fact, if you know the background of Japan, you will know how much it hurts the hearts of the injured Japanese. The tonnage of all Japanese oil tankers totaled 360,000 tons in 40 years, and they lost more than 10 percent in one day.

Japan consumes less than six million tons of oil a year, half of which is used by the navy alone. Therefore, Japan can still grit its teeth and accept the loss of more than 10 warships, especially two seaplane carriers. But the tanker with a loss of 12 percent is simply not acceptable.
