464 Annihilation of the British and French fleets

Although Lin Fei thought so, he was still a little worried, this worry was that his submarine formation might not be completely a thousand meters away from the enemy fleet, and they were very likely to get closer and closer.

The monster-class submarines are now at periscope depth, the periscope depth is thirteen to fifteen meters, the shells of the British and French battleships still have extremely strong lethality at this depth, and the monster-class submarine is a small submarine with a displacement of only six hundred tons, as long as one is hit by the enemy's shell, it will be doomed!

Lin Fei thought of this, and hurriedly picked up the microphone of the blue bird machine, "Call the demon beast formation, call the demon beast formation, please answer if you receive it, please answer when you receive it!" ”

Qin Hui's voice sounded: "I am the king of demon beasts, Qin Hui, please speak when you receive it!" ”

The King of Monsters? Qin Hui, this kid, actually proclaimed himself the king of demon beasts! Lin Fei really couldn't laugh or cry, but now was not the time to dwell on words, Lin Fei said with a straight face: "The enemy ship is firing shells at a distance of about 500 meters on its side, and the enemy ship's shells have formed a dangerous area, you must avoid entering the dangerous area." ”

"Please rest assured, we have heard dense explosions and shells entering the water with hydrophones, and we have already guessed that the enemy ship is firing into the water, and we will not enter the danger zone!"

"That's good." Lin Fei put down the microphone of the blue bird machine, and then he was a little relieved, during this time, there was another Charlie? The Martel-class battleship was hit by two torpedoes and sank to the bottom of the sea, and counting the three battleships previously lost, the Anglo-French fleet had already lost almost half of its battleships.

On the monarch ship, Antonio was even more surprised and panicked, he saw that the shelling did not have the slightest effect, and thought that the enemy submarine had entered a distance of 500 meters, so he ordered to fire closer positions, but he did not know that the enemy ship was 500 meters away.

The naval guns of this era have extremely high accuracy when hitting close ranges, and when hitting a position hundreds of meters away, the shells will not have an error of several hundred meters at all, so that there is no possibility of even hitting the monster-class submarine by chance.

Just when Antonio was at a loss, the two French battleships suddenly began to turn and withdraw from the battle, which made Antonio shout: "French commander, what are you going to do?" ”

Britain sold the Blue Bird technology to France, and the French battleships also had Blue Bird machines, so the commander of the French fleet could talk directly to Antonio, and the commander of the French fleet said directly: "Mr. Antonio, our French fleet is not obliged to completely obey the command of your British, we have the right to act autonomously!" ”

"Then you can't retreat either, this is a defection!"

"Now we can't win, we must save ourselves, this is not a defection, it is wise!"

Antonio was so angry that he didn't know what to say, so he could only let the two French battleships retreat, the French battleships retreated, and the four French cruisers had no reason to continue the battle and retreated.

The French battleships were located at the tail of the entire fleet, and their whereabouts were monitored by the mirage boats located behind the tail of the submarine formation, and the mirages soon discovered the escape attempts of the two French battleships, and hurriedly reported to Lin Fei, and Shangguan Yunlong, who was beside Lin Fei, whispered to Lin Fei: "Your Majesty, we might as well let the French battleships escape, so that the Anglo-French alliance can be broken!" ”

"No! Absolutely not! Lin Fei flatly refused, "The firepower projection capacity of the two French battleships is equivalent to five artillery regiments of the French army, if these two battleships are allowed to escape, they will definitely retreat in Pontianak and act as a mobile battery, which is equivalent to reinforcing ten artillery regiments for the French Pontianak defenders, how can we fight Pontianak?" ”

Lin Fei ordered loudly: "Demon Mirage, at any cost, sink two French battleships!" ”

The mirage immediately moved and launched an attack on two French battleships, and soon another battleship was torpedoed!

Antonio watched the battleships sink under the attack of submarines, and his own shells did not know whether they could hit the submarines, and he was very anxious, and at this moment, the voice of the captain of the majestic ship came from the communicator: "Your Excellency, commander, let's also retreat." ”

Antonio was furious, "Nonsense! We are the Royal Navy of the British Empire, how can we retreat? ”

The captain of the majestic ship said helplessly: "Now the enemy can beat us, but we can't beat the enemy, and if we don't retreat, we will be completely annihilated!" ”

Antonio's heart was full of anger, he wanted to retreat, but retreating meant admitting defeat for the second time in front of Lin Fei, Antonio had already conceded defeat once, and now he had to have a second time, and this time he admitted defeat when he was in his hands, which made Antonio extremely angry and unacceptable!

In his extreme anger, Antonio suddenly thought of a vicious plan, and he ordered aloud: "The whole fleet, speed up and get closer to the Lin Fei ship, and sink the Lin Fei ship for me!" ”

Antonio was furious, and actually came up with a way to sink Lin Feiza's ship in the form of a whole fleet fire, at this moment, Lin Fei's ship was slowly "crawling" at a turtle speed of six knots, the British battleship could catch up with Lin Feiza's ship within fifteen minutes, and the cruiser could catch up within ten minutes, Lin Fei's ship fell into a huge crisis in an instant.

Shangguan Yunlong saw the British battleship rushing towards the Song Zu ship, and hurriedly said to Lin Fei: "Your Majesty, please board the boat immediately, get on the Tenglong ship, and then return to Manila." ”

Lin Fei sneered, "As the king of a country, how can I leave the subordinates of a battleship behind, don't worry, the British battleship can't hurt me!" ”

As soon as Lin Fei's words fell, he saw two British Majesty-class battleships quickly kill, the Majesty-class battleships are the successor models of the Sovereign-class battleships, on the basis of the Sovereign ships, the armor was reinforced, and the four 343-mm guns were replaced with four 305-mm guns, and the maximum speed was increased from 15 knots to 17 knots of the Sovereign-class.

The two Majestic-class battleships, one named "Majestic" and the other named "Magnificent", are both new battleships that have just been launched for less than a year, and the power system has no loss and the speed is very fast, so they are the first to kill!

The two majestic ships are the targets of the Candle Dragon Boat, although the speed of the Majestic Ship is fast, but after all, it is passing in front of the Candle Dragon Boat, and the Candle Dragon Boat can ensure that the torpedo hits as long as the bow is adjusted.

The candle dragon boat adjusted the bow pointing, first aimed at the majestic ship, and the captain gave an order, and a torpedo was shot out of the bow torpedo tube, directly taking the majestic ship.

Since the Majesty had been accelerating, the torpedo commander failed to accurately calculate the point of collision between the torpedo and the Majesty, and the torpedo did not hit the Majesty and crossed behind the tail of the Majesty.

The captain of the Candle Dragon Boat was taken aback, there were only six torpedoes in the whole boat, and three were reserved for one battleship, and now the first one is empty, and the remaining two must be all hit, otherwise it may not be able to annihilate the majestic ship!

The captain reprimanded the torpedo, and the torpedo commander was ashamed and brave, and fired another one, and this torpedo hit the majestic ship, although the majestic class battleship had stronger defensive capabilities than the Sovereign-class battleship, but the additional steel plates were used in the defense of the waterline and the waterline, and these positions were used to defend against shells, not torpedoes.

The explosion tore open the waterline deck again, and the majestic ship sank quickly, and the magnificent ship behind the majestic ship did not escape the fate of sinking, two torpedoes detonated the ammunition compartment of the magnificent ship, and the huge explosion engulfed the magnificent ship in an instant, and the entire magnificent ship, a steel giant beast with a length of one hundred and twenty-eight meters and a width of twenty-two meters, and a standard displacement of up to fourteen thousand tons, was surrounded by billowing smoke and flames in an instant, and quickly sank into the sea.

While the Majestic and Magnificent ships were sinking one after another, the two fleeing French battleships were also sunk, and the Mirage sank the two French battleships with only three torpedoes.

The British and French battleship formation, which had just been in full swing, was now left with only the flagship, the Sovereign Ship.

In fact, it was all luck that the Sovereign ship survived, and the submarine responsible for striking it was the Giant Dragonship, which was just about to launch a torpedo to attack the Monarch after launching two torpedoes and sinking the revenge ship, when the submarine's internal combustion engine system malfunctioned.

In this battle, all submarines were powered by internal combustion engines, because throughout the battle, submarines had to move at periscope depth, which was much shallower than the depth of the snorkel, so they simply used internal combustion engines to save batteries.

As soon as the internal combustion engine fails, the propeller will no longer rotate, the propeller will stop rotating, the submarine will lose speed, once the speed is lost, the submarine will not be able to steer, and the consequences of the submarine not being able to steer are extremely strict, because the buoyancy of the submarine in each part of the water is not the same, and if the submarine does not steer and control the buoyancy, the submarine will lose its stability in the water.

After the giant boat broke down, it has been nervously troubleshooting, but it didn't work, after a few minutes of emergency repairs to no avail, the hull began to lose stability, and had to quickly activate the battery, which made the giant dragon boat stable, and this matter, in the tense battle, did not have time to report to Lin Fei.

The giant dragon boat began to use the battery, and the torpedo could be launched, the torpedo captain aimed at the monarch ship, and the captain gave the torpedo launch order, just when the torpedo commander pulled the trigger wrench and planned to launch the torpedo, Lin Fei suddenly ordered, don't sink the monarch ship first!

The sailors on the giant boat all wondered, why did the Flying Emperor let go of the monarch ship?

Antonio on the monarch ship had already felt that the deadline was approaching, his heart was full of unwillingness and resentment, the dignified Royal Navy fleet of the British Empire was already in control, but he didn't expect that a moment later, Lin Fei took out a submarine and torpedo, and the whole battle was completely reversed!

At this moment, Lin Fei's voice sounded: "Antonio, surrender." ”
