775 Tiger Shark Sunk Dreadnought

Liu Daming didn't understand what Lin Fei meant, the battle situation was urgent, so he didn't ask, turned around and left.

Liu Daming and Qin Hui walked out, Lin Fei rushed to the door and called "Xiyun", Xiyun walked in with a smile and asked "What are you doing", Lin Fei waved at her and said with a smile: "I just called you 'outsider', you must be very sad, come, let me comfort and comfort you." ”

Xiyun glanced at the empty table in front of Lin Fei, his face was suddenly red to the root of his ears, he snorted, and said with a smile: "I'm not sad." After saying that, he turned around and fled with a "whoosh".

The submarine that Qin Hui brought back was the hell-class submarine Yama King, which was damaged by a British depth charge during an operation and had to return to the nearest submarine base, Pontianak, for repairs, which happened to be completed at this time.

In fact, Qin Hui was originally on his own King of Qin Guang boat, but when he heard that the British fleet had invaded the territorial waters of China, he took a high-speed transport ship to Pontianak and commanded the King of Yama to fight.

Qin Hui did this because the task of guarding the Strait of Malacca was too boring, and it was not as interesting as hunting British merchant ships in Burma.

Qin Hui returned to the anchorage place of the Yama King Boat, because Lin Fei had already issued an order to stop using the port of Zhurongcheng at this time, so there were no merchant ships leaving the port at all, and the plan that Lin Fei originally envisioned could not be realized, in this regard, Lin Fei specially ordered the large oil tanker "Sunflower" to leave the port and go to Sulawesi.

The displacement of the Sunflower oil tanker is as high as 100,000 tons, this number sounds scary, but the 100,000-ton oil tanker and the 100,000-ton battleship are completely different, the oil tanker does not need to consider maneuverability, so the hull can be made extremely wide, and the speed of the oil tanker is very slow is also acceptable, so there is no need for a completely new engine, and the speed of the Sunflower is only a pitiful eight knots.

The Sunflower left the harbor, followed by the Yama Kingship, and the previous British attack on merchant ships showed that after the British fleet spotted the Chinese merchant ships, they usually chose a large force to monitor on the side, sending a dreadnought-class battleship or a large cruiser to get close to the merchant ship and sink it.

Therefore, the method of playing the king ship of Yama is that when the British battleship approaches, it slows down and breaks away from the Sunflower, and then turns on the sonar to determine the position of the British battleship, and then fires a torpedo.

Qin Hui has been leading the crew to practice the tactic of using sonar positioning to launch torpedoes, and it is also often used in the battle to hunt British merchant ships in Burma, and the effect is good.

Due to the huge sound of the Sunflower itself, the sonar of the Yama King Ship was completely covered by the Sunflower's sound, and it was impossible to detect the external sound, so the Sunflower was needed to report the enemy's situation.

The Sunflower installed a large loudspeaker inside the cabin, which was directly attached to the bottom wall of the hull, and if a British battleship approached the Sunflower, the Sunflower would use the loudspeaker to send a signal, which could be heard very clearly by the Yama King Boat due to the close proximity of the Sunflower.

The Sunflower slowly sailed towards Sulawesi, and the time was not big, only to see a warship without the national flag approaching the Sunflower, and the British battleships did not fly the national flag when approaching the merchant ships, for fear that the Chinese merchant ships would see the British flag and escape.

Soon, the British fleet appeared in the distance of the Sunflower, and immediately after, a dreadnought-class battleship left the fleet and approached the Sunflower, and the Sunflower immediately sent a message to the underwater Yama King Ship.

The sonar chief heard the news that "a dreadnought-class battleship is coming from the right side of our ship" in the loud noise of the Sunflower's movement, and immediately reported to Qin Hui, who immediately ordered: "Slow down and break away from the Sunflower, turn on the sonar, and search for the enemy ship." ”

The helmsman controlled the submarine to sink, slowed down, and gradually distanced itself from the Sunflower, and the sonar also picked up the signal of the dreadnought-class battleship, and Qin Hui immediately ordered to prepare to launch a torpedo.

The Hell-class submarines are armed with tiger shark torpedoes, which have a range of 1,500 meters and are extremely lethal.

With Qin Hui's order, the Yama King Boat began to adjust its course, approaching the dreadnought-class battleship, although the dreadnought-class battleship was also equipped with sonar, but its performance was not strong, and it did not find that a hell-class submarine had arrived at its side.

Not only did the dreadnought-class battleship not feel the danger, on the contrary, everyone on the ship was happy, the Sunflower was the largest merchant ship they had ever seen after entering the territorial waters of the Huaxia Empire, if they sank the Sunflower, it would definitely greatly dampen the morale of the Huaxia Empire and hit Lin Fei's confidence in persisting in fighting.

Although the crew of the dreadnought-class battleship was happy, they did not relax their underwater reconnaissance, anti-submarine is what they have been doing, the sonar soldiers are engrossed, listening to the sound of the submarine, the sea inspectors are attentive, looking for the periscope raised by the submarine, what the British don't know is that sonar positioning technology has been applied to the hell-class submarine, and there is no need to raise the periscope when launching torpedoes.

On King Yama's boat, the torpedo captain reported in a loud voice: "Captain, the torpedo has completed its target aiming." ”

Qin Hui had a gloomy face, "Tiger Shark, two, launch!" ”

As soon as the torpedo canister opened, a tiger shark torpedo rushed into the sea, bringing out a large bubble, and then another torpedo rushed into the sea from the other side, and the two torpedoes rushed towards the dreadnought-class battleship.

The two large bubbles rose to the surface of the water and burst into a clear splash on the water surface, but this clear splash was not discovered by the sea surface inspector of the dreadnought-class battleship, what the sea inspector found was only the snow-white waterline stirred up by the tiger shark torpedo, each torpedo will stir up two waterlines, and the two torpedoes are four waterlines, lying across the sea surface, which is exceptionally clear.

The sea inspector made a terrible cry: "Oh no, there are torpedoes underwater, there are torpedoes!" ”

This terrible cry spread throughout the battleship like a doomsday mourning song, and the captain hurriedly ordered: "Right full rudder, quick, right full rudder." ”

The dreadnought-class battleship turned in despair and panic, but it was too late, the first Tiger Shark torpedo hit its bow hull, and after a huge explosion, a terrifying hole appeared in the hull, and the sea water continued to pour into the hull, and the bow of the ship sank sharply.

Immediately after that, the second Tiger Shark torpedo also hit the dreadnought-class battleship, because the battleship kept turning, so the torpedo hit the position close to the stern, and the explosion opened a huge hole in the stern, and the sea water instantly flooded the cabin, and the location of the explosion happened to be the transmission compartment of the battleship, and all the transmission devices were inside, including the propeller main shaft, auxiliary engines, etc., these machines were blown up, and the entire Dreadnought-class battleship was completely deprived of power.

Since the two holes are one in the bow and the other in the stern, the bow and tail of the battleship are flooded at the same time, maintaining the balance of the battleship, so the sinking speed is relatively slow, if there is only a hole in the bow or stern, the seawater pouring into the hull will make the battleship tilt and flip, and quickly sink into the sea.

The dreadnought-class battleship slowly sank, scaring the hearts of the large number of battleships watching the battle from afar, didn't our dreadnought-class battleships have sonar? Isn't there a sea inspector? How could it still be sunk by a submarine in China? Could it be that the submarines of China are really invincible?

The British fleet was worried about being sunk by the submarine, so it hurriedly retreated, and the Sunflower saw that the British fleet had withdrawn and also returned to Zhurong City, and the Yama King ship also returned.

As soon as the king of Yama's boat docked, Qin Hui immediately came to find Lin Fei, and it happened that Liu Daming was also in Lin Fei's office at this time, Qin Hui laughed when he saw Lin Fei: "Your Majesty, kill Dreadnought, and it depends on our hell-class submarine, that dynasty-class battleship, it doesn't work very well." ”

Lin Fei had already received the battle report that the Yama King Boat had sunk a dreadnought-class battleship, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "That's right, our Hell-class submarine is indeed a natural killer of the Dreadnought-class battleship, but the Hell-class submarine has to fight with surface ships, and the ability to find targets is a shortcoming, I am discussing with Liu Daming the plan for the final decisive battle with the British fleet, you can come too." ”

Qin Hui happily agreed and asked, "Where is the discussion now?" ”

Liu Daming said with a smile: "Now that a dreadnought-class battleship has been sunk, the British fleet should no longer dare to attack our merchant ships unscrupulously, so in the time we wait for the main fleet, our losses should be much smaller, we will wait until the main fleet is assembled, and then crush the British fleet in one fell swoop." ”

Lin Fei took over and said, "In another ten days or so, our Dynasty-class battleships will be able to reach seven, and the Hell-class submarines will be able to reach eight, and that will be the moment of our decisive battle with the British fleet." ”

"At that time, the decisive battle, there was another point in our favor, that is, after such a long voyage, the British battleships would consume a lot of coal, fresh water and ammunition, and the morale of the army was also extremely low, and we had a great chance of winning this battle."

Lin Fei was talking, when suddenly Xiyun ran in and said to Lin Fei: "Report to Your Majesty, the Monkey King Airship Force has sent an urgent message. ”

Lin Fei looked at Liu Daming and Qin Hui and said, "There are no outsiders here, you can read it directly." ”

Xiyun said "yes", and then said, "The Monkey King Airship Force has sent a message that the British warships are moving towards the Sunda Strait, and it seems that they are about to escape. ”

It turned out that the British fleet had lost two battles and realized that Lin Fei would not give in, and if they continued to fight like this, when Lin Fei concentrated the main force, they would have to be annihilated, so the British fleet decided to withdraw from the territorial waters of the Chinese Empire in order to fight again in the coming day.
