Before the swordfish torpedo hit the counterattack ship, Antonio thought that he had the chance to win, after all, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, Lin Fei's side, Lin Fei's ship burned down the boiler, and could only move slowly at the speed of a turtle crawling on the sea, the other two battleships could not protect it at all, on his side, nine battleships were unscathed, and the soldiers were strong.

Antonio couldn't help but smile smugly, the revenge of being hijacked and humiliated by Lin Fei would be avenged immediately, if it weren't for maintaining the majesty of the commander of the British Imperial Navy, he would have danced a long time ago.

The Flying Emperor is regarded as one of the most evil enemies by the Western countries, sinking the Flying Emperor's ship and killing the Flying Emperor is definitely a great credit, Antonio annihilated the Lin Fei fleet before, but the credit of that incident is not worth mentioning compared to this matter!

Antonio began to fantasize about the grand welcome ceremony, the grand celebration procession, and the grand celebration banquet after his return, in which the most beautiful ladies competed to invite him to dance, and the noblewoman who danced with him was ecstatic, and the noblewoman who did not dance with him wept silently.

Antonio began to fantasize that all the British people would see themselves as heroes like Wellington (Wellington was the general of the British army who defeated Napoleon), that the newspapers would be full of stories about his deeds, and that his name would be written in all kinds of textbooks and studied by all kinds of people, even schoolchildren.

The staff officers beside Antonio also began to flatter, "General, you sank the Flying Emperor's ship today, this credit is comparable to Nelson, the great hero who defeated the combined French and Spanish fleets back then!" ”

"General, you will definitely be promoted to admiral and become the Minister of the Navy in the future!"

In the midst of the praise of merit, a waiter brought champagne to celebrate the achievement, and Antonio listened to the praise of the staff officers around him, fluttering and pouring a small glass of champagne, intending to drink a little to celebrate.

Every captain in the fleet was also looking forward to his bright future, especially the captain of the counterattack ship, he was the closest to the Lin Feiza ship, so he would be the first captain to hit the Flying Emperor ship, which made him so excited that he almost fainted.

But at this moment, a torpedo hit the counterattack ship, like a ruthless big foot, crushing all the sweet dreams of Antonio's people!

With an explosion, the counterattack ship immediately entered the water and tilted, and with another explosion, the counterattack ship only lasted for a minute and sank into the sea, an unprecedented surprise that shook everyone's hearts, the monarch-class battleship is an invincible storage zài, how could it be sunk? Or was sunk by the defeated Lin Fei fleet!

Antonio, who was on the Sovereign ship, didn't know how to describe his shock at all, this shock was far more than when Lin Fei was on the Sovereign ship, he suddenly pulled out the hairpin on Xiyun's head and put it on his throat.

If before this moment, someone told Sù Antonio that the Sovereign-class battleship would be sunk, he would not hesitate to laugh at that person for being crazy, but now, a Sovereign-class battleship, a pride of the British Empire, and a pearl of the Royal Navy, sank right before his eyes!

Antonio roared, "What's the matter? How could our Sovereign-class battleships be sunk? ”

The staff officer beside him said: "Torpedoes, they must be torpedoes, it was torpedoes that sank our Sovereign-class battleship, if it wasn't a torpedo, it would never have been so powerful!" ”

"Nonsense, of course I knew it was a torpedo, but where did it come from? Look at the sea, is there a warship? "In their impression, torpedoes are fired by torpedo boats that are desperately fighting, but looking at the sea, how can there be a shadow of torpedo boats?

The staff officers were silent, no one knew what was going on, they preferred to believe that everything in front of them was an illusion!

Just when Antonio and his staff officers were falling into the clouds, the giant dragon boats, candle dragon boats, and mirage boats all launched their might, and one after another torpedoes pounced on the British and French fleets.

In the blink of an eye, the French battleship Charlie? The Martel was hit by two swordfish torpedoes, Charlie? The Martel-class battleship is the latest French first-class battleship, the French are more romantic, and this romantic atmosphere is also reflected in the design of the battleship, this type of battleship is very peculiar in appearance compared to the British battleship.

First of all, it's the gun emplacement, Charlie? The Martel-class battleship was equipped with two 305 mm guns, 45 times the caliber barrel, which were deployed in the bow and stern, and it was also equipped with two 245 mm sub-caliber main guns, followed by eight 138 mm rapid-fire secondary guns, unlike British battleships, where large-caliber main guns were followed by medium-caliber rapid-fire secondary guns.

The two sub-caliber main guns are installed in a very strange position, on the ear platform near the stern of the ship, one on the left and right ports, on both sides of each sub-caliber main gun, there is a 138 mm rapid-fire secondary gun, and the three naval guns are crowded together, like a naval gun sandwich, this kind of gun position setting is unique in the navies of various countries.

And then there's its superstructure, Charlie? The superstructure of the Martel-class battleship was rather messy, it carried four dinghies, and on top of these four dinghies, there was a shed-like thing that covered the dinghy, and this shed could provide the dinghy with a certain defense against shells, but in today's battle, this shed played the role of a "torpedo accomplice".

Both Swordfish torpedoes in Charlie? The stern of the Martel-class battleship exploded, and the powerful shock wave directly washed the dinghy into the air, and when the counterattack ship was hit, the hanging dinghy was also washed away, but the counterattack ship's dinghy was not blocked by a shed, so it flew directly into the sea, but Charlie? Martel, but the dinghy crashed directly into the shed.

The shed was smashed to pieces, and the fragments flew to the masts at both ends of the shed, and the command tower and observation room were all on the masts, and the fragments shot into the mast like knives, and the captain and everyone were killed in an instant.

Because there was a "naval gun sandwich" in the stern, a lot of shells were piled up, and the shock wave of the torpedo explosion detonated the shells, and the violent explosion directly blew up the mast at the stern, and the debris rained down on the sea. The sailors at the stern of the ship were blown to minced meat.

After the explosion, a large number of water entered the hull and sank, and the anti-sinking performance of this type of battleship was much inferior to that of the Sovereign-class battleships, and the Sovereign-class battleships could not block the bombardment of two torpedoes, Charlie? How could the Martel class be able to stop it, and soon a large amount of water entered and sank into the sea in a state of despair.

In Charlie? When the Martel sank, the Sovereign-class battleship Revenge was also hit by two torpedoes and sank into the sea in an explosion and flames!

In just a few minutes, the three most powerful warships in the world sank into the sea, and Antonio didn't know what was hitting them, although they knew that the attack came from Lin Fei, but they didn't know what means Lin Fei used!

The feeling of being beaten and unable to fight back made Antonio completely crazy, and he roared angrily: "What the hell is going on, is Lin Fei's battleship wearing an invisibility cloak?" ”

At this time, a staff officer whispered: "Your Excellency, General, I may have guessed what is going on. ”

"Less nonsense, hurry up!"

"Your Excellency General, what attacked us is most likely a submarine!"

"Nonsense!" Antonio categorically denied it without even thinking about it, "I've seen something like a submarine, it can only be put in the playground to coax children, not sent to the battlefield!" ”

"Your Excellency General, now the submarine is the only possible torpedo launch carrier, maybe Lin Fei has made some technical improvements to the submarine so that the submarine can go to the battlefield!"

The flesh on Antonio's face trembled twice, "So, it's really a submarine attacking us?" ”

"Not bad! It's a submarine! Your Excellency General, think about it, Lin Fei retreated all the way today, they could have accelerated their escape, but they didn't do that, even if they fought less and our cruiser desperately didn't speed up the escape, Lin Fei's purpose was to lead us into the ambush circle of the submarine! ”

Antonio woke up instantly, and he slapped his thigh hard, "So that's the case, Lin Fei, who was raised by a son of a bitch, has been tricked!" ”

The staff officer hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, General, we have entered the ambush circle of the enemy's submarine formation, and now we must retreat immediately!" ”

Antonio laughed loudly, "Retreat, what is there to retreat, isn't it a submarine?" Kill them! ”

"Kill the submarine? How to kill? ”

Antonio pointed his hand in the direction of the submarine and ordered: "Order the fleet, fire shells in the direction of five hundred meters, with high-explosive shells, the range of torpedoes is only five hundred meters, I am sure that their submarines are nearby, we can definitely sink them with heavy artillery!" ”

All the British battleships began to fire shells at a distance of five hundred meters, and the rumbling sound of cannons resounded across the sea, which surprised Lin Fei, at this time, Lin Fei was already moving into the distance, because Antonio gave the order for the cruiser to retreat, the counterattack ships and revenge ships closest to Lin Fei's fleet were sunk, so Lin Fei's side was completely invincible for a while.

Lin Fei raised his binoculars and saw that the British and French battleships were desperately firing shells into the sea, and couldn't help frowning, muttering, "What shells are they shooting into the sea if they have nothing to do?" ”

Shangguan Yunlong said on the side: "They must be fighting our submarine!" ”

Lin Fei said suspiciously: "But the distance they fought was too close, and they only fired at a few hundred meters away from their fleet, how could our submarine be so close to them?" ”

Shangguan Yunlong didn't know what was going on, he shook his head slightly, but Lin Fei instantly understood that the British didn't know that their swordfish torpedo had surpassed its time, so they thought that the attack distance of the torpedo was only a few hundred meters, so they fired at a few hundred meters away.

Lin Fei laughed secretly, my fleet is more than a thousand meters away from you, but you are firing at a distance of several hundred meters, to see if my submarines will not sink you one by one!
