465 Victory in the Battle of the Sea

Antonio said angrily: "Lin Fei, what did you say? ”

Lin Fei sneered: "I said to let you surrender!" ”

"Let me surrender, dream!"

Lin Fei laughed, "Antonio, you have to think clearly, if you don't surrender, I will sink you, and then your life will not be saved, if you die, the mansion and the beautiful mistress, you will never be able to enjoy it again......"

"Shut up, Lin Fei!" Antonio roared, "Last time you threatened me with these words, but that was last time, this time is different, this time I won't let you do it no matter what!" ”

Antonio shouted with all his might: "Lin Fei, you give me death!" Ignoring Lin Fei's words, Antonio shouted to his subordinates: "Go at full speed and sink Lin Feiza's ship!" ”

"Yes, General!" Antonio's men chanted in unison.

Lin Fei heard this in his ears, and Lin Fei sneered, "Antonio, since you are looking for death, then I will fulfill you." ”

Lin Fei picked up the microphone of the Blue Bird machine and ordered aloud: "Giant Dragonboat, sink the Sovereign Ship for me!" ”

On the giant dragon boat, three torpedoes rushed out, and the monarch ship was quickly hit by three torpedoes, one of which hit the hull under the command module, and the violent explosion directly lifted Antonio into the air, Antonio's head hit the top of the command module, and the cervical vertebrae were directly broken, and Antonio was killed on the spot.

This Antonio, who had been fighting with Lin Fei for many days, ended his fight with Lin Fei with a peculiar way of death.

The Sovereign ship was quickly sunk, and there were no more battleships on the sea, and the battleship fleet, which had flaunted its might a few minutes ago, left only a sea of wreckage and sailors fluttering in the water like ants, and as for the cruiser fleet, for fear of being sunk by submarines, it had fled far away, leaving only a few vague shadows on the sea antenna.

Lin Fei looked at the qiē in front of him, relieved, he picked up the microphone of the Jade Bird machine and said softly: "We, we have won." ”

Lin Fei won!

The Chinese Empire has won!

The fortunes of the Chinese Empire have been reversed!

The sailors on the Song Zu ship, the Tenglong ship and the hidden dragon ship, the ghost shark boat, the giant dragon boat, the candle dragon boat and the mirage boat let out a high-pitched cheer together, this is a long-suppressed cheer, since Britain and France declared war, the Chinese Empire has been defeated and retreated, Pontianak has been lost, Jakarta has been lost, Makassar has been lost, the Chinese fleet has been completely annihilated, and the Chinese have been subjected to genocide and massacre, this qiē shame has been washed away today!

In the midst of cheers, Qin Hui sent a message to Lin Fei: "Report to Your Majesty, there are many British and French sailors on the sea now, I want to let the submarine float and practice marksmanship for the sailors!" ”

Lin Fei smiled helplessly, "Ridiculous! What kind of marksmanship to practice, you will immediately return to the monster base for me, replenish torpedoes and fuel, and you will have to fight in the future. ”

Qin Hui let out an "oh" in disappointment, but he was still unwilling, "Your Majesty, why don't we kill some people in the water, let the smell of blood attract sharks and eat all the people who fall into the water!" ”

Lin Fei scolded with a smile: "You don't have a long brain, we have another shell explosion here, another torpedo explosion, the shark has long been scared and ran away, even if you put the blood of all the British and French sailors who fell into the water, you can't attract sharks, stop talking nonsense, hurry back." ”

Qin Hui smirked a few times, and led the Demon Beast-class submarine formation back to the Demon Beast base, Shangguan Yunlong pointed to a sea of British and French sailors and asked, "Your Majesty, these sailors, what should we do?" ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "Sailors are the wealth of the navy, we can't look at so much wealth, order all ships, send small boats, and arrest all these sailors, and if anyone resists, kill whoever resists." ”

"Understood!" Shangguan Yunlong then ordered the ships to lower their boats and go to capture the British and French sailors who had fallen overboard.

These British and French sailors did not resist and obediently took prisoners, in this regard, they were very different from the Japanese sailors, the Japanese sailors would not surrender at all, while the British and French sailors, however, felt that the battleship had sunk, their combat mission was over, and there was no need to resist anymore.

A total of nine British and French battleships were sunk, each with five or six hundred people, but Lin Fei only captured more than a thousand people, and the others were not unwilling to surrender, but all of them died.

According to the conventional situation, the battleship sank and could not kill so many people, if there was no enemy ship deliberately killing sailors, with the life-saving equipment carried by the battleship, most people could survive, but today's situation is very different from the conventional situation, that is, the British and French battleships sank very quickly under Lin Fei's torpedo strike.

The battleship sank so fast that the sailors in the cabin did not have time to escape, and before they could get out of the cabin, the frenzied rush of water swallowed them up.

The strong shock wave of the torpedo explosion also caused the deformation of many hatches, and the sailors could not open the hatches and drowned alive in the cabins by the seawater that poured into them.

Among the more than 1,000 people captured by Lin Fei, there were no captains and senior officers, and they all adhered to the tradition of Western navies -- the captain lived and died with the warship, and chose to sink with the ship when the battleship sank. After Lin Fei heard about this incident, he couldn't help but worry, the British and French naval officers were so strong, and the battle in the future would be even more difficult.

After the capture of the sailors, Lin Fei did not immediately order to return, but ordered the frogman commandos of each ship to carry diving equipment into the water to reconnoiter the location of the sunken enemy ship, Lin Fei planned to salvage the enemy ship, this is not to humiliate Britain and France, the British and French battleships have a lot of equipment, Lin Fei wants to decompose and study it, especially the heavy guns with a caliber of more than 300 mm.

To make such a large-caliber heavy artillery, the steel used for the cannon must be special, Lin Fei did not know how to make this kind of steel, if he got the enemy's heavy artillery and analyzed its material composition, it would definitely speed up the progress of Huaxia naval artillery and artillery technology.

If you want to salvage a sunken battleship, the first step is to determine the location of the battleship, the second step is to seal the breach in the hull, and the third step is to drain the water in the hull with a water pump, so that the battleship can surface under its own buoyancy.

The second and third steps require a lot of professional equipment, and the frogman commandos cannot complete it, so the frogman commandos can only determine the location of the wreck first, they dive to the bottom of the sea, and tie the buoy to the hull, the buoy is a striking bright yellow, if the weather is good, it can be seen more than ten nautical miles away.

The water quality in this sea area is not very good, coupled with the mud and sand stirred up by the battle just now, the sea water is relatively turbid, which brings trouble to the frogman commandos to determine the location of the sunken battleship, the frogman commandos have just found the three battleships, it is already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, with the current speed of the Song Zu ship, and if it is delayed, it will return to the port at midnight, so Lin Fei ordered the frogman commandos to stop searching, and the whole fleet will return.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Chinese fleet returned in a joyful celebration, and since then, the naval battle has ended.

The battle took place in the Sulu Sea outside Manila Bay, so it was called the "Battle of the Sulu Sea", which took place on January 22, 1897, so it was also called the "Battle of the 122 Sea".

This naval battle was divided into two phases, the first stage, Lin Fei used the Song Zu ship, the Tenglong ship and the submarine dragon ship as bait to lure the British and French combined fleet to pursue, in this stage, the Huaxia fleet and the British and French cruiser fleets engaged the three British and French cruiser fleets, and the three British and French cruisers lost their combat effectiveness, and they also suffered damage, among which Lin Fei's ship Song Zu was extremely badly damaged, and had to take the risk of using super pressure ventilation.

In the second stage, Lin Fei successfully led the British and French fleets into the ambush circle, and the ghost shark boats, giant dragon boats, candle dragon boats and mirage boats launched torpedo attacks, in this stage, the British and French fleets did not expect Lin Fei to use submarines and torpedoes that were ahead of the times, and they were completely unprepared for attacks from underwater, all the battleships were sunk, and the four cruisers were heavily damaged and retreated in a hurry.

In the naval battle of the Sulu Sea, Lin Fei sank the British Sovereign-class battleship Sovereign Ship, Counterattack Ship, Revenge Ship, Majesty-class battleship Majestic, Magnificent Ship at the cost of one unsunken ship, French Charlie? Martel-class battleship Charlie? The Martel, the Valian, the Victory, and the Triumph, a total of nine battleships, with a total tonnage of more than 150,000 tons, created a miracle in the history of human naval warfare.

This naval battle had a profound impact on world history, and the battle turned the dying Chinese Empire into a safe place, similar to the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Quarry Rock in Chinese history, and this battle was the turning point of the entire Nanyang World War, that is, the First World War, after this battle, the Chinese Empire turned from defeat to strategic counteroffensive.

Militarily, this battle profoundly affected the development of future weapons, and since then, submarines have officially entered the field of vision of military experts of various countries, and all newly launched warships in the future must consider anti-submarine and anti-torpedo attacks.

The United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and Japan have all invested huge sums of money in submarine research, and a new round of arms race has begun!

This battle also brought Lin Fei's personal prestige to a new peak, and countries around the world have called Lin Fei the greatest naval admiral after Nelson and the most outstanding naval genius in human history.

Of course, all countries are talking about Lin Fei's beauty, Lin Fei at this time is on the way back, this battle is by no means easy for him, especially when the Song Zu ship was hit and was about to be surrounded by British and French battleships, Lin Fei almost touched death, if he hadn't ventured to use super pressure ventilation, it might be Lin Fei who was buried in the belly of the fish now.

Lin Fei recalled the scene before he made up his mind to use super pressure ventilation, those girls' wishes popped out one by one, and a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Fei's mouth, the first thing he had to do after going back was to take Xiyun's virgin body!
