The battleship "Jeanbar" was quietly moored on the sea, although the boiler was not turned off, but the steam turbine was not running, and now the task of the battleship was to block the main channel of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and it was only necessary to aim the main guns at the main channel, once the capital ship of the Chinese Navy dared to enter the main channel of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, it would inevitably be hit by overwhelming heavy artillery fire, and the salvo of 60 305-mm main guns of 6 battleships was enough to send any battleship to the bottom of the sea in an instant.

The British and French navies and the Chinese navy have been facing off in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait for two months, and during this time, the Chinese navy has not tried to storm the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which makes the British and French navies believe that the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy is afraid and they will not come to send them to death. This made the British and French navies less vigilant. However, even so, the British and French navies were well prepared, and they deployed a large number of cruisers and destroyers near the main channel of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Under such precautions, the British and French navies were convinced that it would be impossible for the Chinese navy to break through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. However, they never thought that the danger did not come from the sea, but from below the sea.

It was only five o'clock in the morning, and the officers and men of the French Navy on the battleship Jean-Bal, except for those who had been left on duty, had already fallen asleep. They don't know that the crisis is over.

The 201st submarine of the Chinese Navy floated only 1,200 meters away from the battleship 'Jeanbar'. With a heavy torpedo at a speed of up to 30 knots, only 80 seconds is enough. After the two torpedoes came out of the torpedo tubes of the No. 201 submarine, they immediately rushed towards the battleship 'Jeanbar', leaving two long water marks on the sea.

Submarine No. 201 did not dive immediately after its attack. The captain of the boat, Brigadier General Su Leping, who was also the captain of the submarine group, found that the British and French forces were very lax in their defenses, and immediately ordered the torpedo to be reloaded in an effort to sink the battleship 'Jeanbar' in one go. A minute has passed. Submarine No. 201, again two torpedoes occurred. Two torpedoes, also at a high speed of 30 knots, struck at the battleship 'Jeanbar'. At this time, the 201st submarine began to dive. Once the battleship 'Jeanbar' was hit. The Anglo-French navy will definitely fry the pot at once. When the time comes, it will not be so easy to escape safely.

Submarine No. 201 was the first submarine to launch an attack on the British and French navies, and it was also the first submarine to achieve the first victory in the second naval battle. When submarine No. 201 began to dive, the first torpedo fired was from the submarine 'Jeanbar'. It's already less than two hundred meters. At this time, the thousands of French naval officers and sailors on the battleship 'Jeanbar' did not realize that the crisis had come. The night, which had not yet completely dissipated, hid the water marks left by the torpedo at high speed.

A French destroyer. Passing on the port side of the battleship 'Jeanbar'. One of the sailors above witnessed the whole process of the battleship 'Jeanbar' being hit and then silent. Before the battleship Jean Bar was sunk, he noticed a water mark in the sea. Quickly rushed towards the battleship 'Jeanbar'.

"What's that? Is it fish? No, damn it. It's a torpedo! Sound the alarm, there is a torpedo attack on the battleship 'Jeanbar'! The sailor shouted. It's just that his shouting is useless. The officers and men on the destroyer all looked at him in amazement, wondering if he had gone crazy. By this time, the torpedo had already crashed into the battleship 'Jeanbar' in a daze.

"Boom!" An earth-shattering bang suddenly erupted, and a huge mass erupted under the bow of the battleship 'Jeanbar'. The violent explosion caused the bow of the battleship Jean Bal to be lifted out of the water and then smashed heavily into the sea. The French sailors on the battleship were all thrown to the ground, and most of them were thrown directly from the bed to the deck.

Immediately afterwards, another torpedo hit the stern of the battleship 'Jeanbar'. The 533-mm heavy torpedo contained hundreds of kilograms of high explosives that directly blew the small half of the stern of the battleship 'Jeanbar' to pieces.

As the first new battleship of the French Navy, and at the same time using the design drawings of the British Navy, the 'Lone Class' battleship was not immune to the influence of the British Navy's idea of valuing firepower and speed and despising armor. The side armor of the 'Lone class' battleship was only 270 mm, and the armor near the waterline was only 180 mm. Such armor, in front of a 533-mm heavy torpedo, is no different from a papier-mâché one. Although, in order to avoid being struck by lightning, the 'Lone Pull' class battleships had special anti-torpedo compartments on the sides. But at this moment, after being attacked, these cabins were already flooded, and the French sailors on the battleship had no time to rescue the battleship.

The captain of the battleship 'Jeanbar', when it exploded, was thrown out of bed. However, it also brought him to his senses all at once. He didn't even have time to put on his clothes before he rushed out of the cabin.

"Enemy attack! Damage management: Report the loss immediately and control the loss! The captain shouted. At this time, the stern was hit by a torpedo again, and the fate of the battleship 'Jeanbar' was almost certain.

The battleship 'Jean Bal' was hit, and the violent explosion shocked all the British and French navies. A large number of warships began to move as soon as possible. If it continues to stand still, the conductor becomes a living target for attack. However, it was too late at this time, and the submarine forces of the Chinese Navy, which had already completed the afloat, began to attack their chosen targets one after another after the preemptive attack of the No. 201 submarine.

"Boom! Rumble! "A minute after the battleship Jean-Bar was hit, two loud noises were heard again, and two flames erupted on the side of the battleship Jean-Bar. Obviously, once again two torpedoes hit the battleship 'Jeanbar', which directly sentenced the battleship 'Jeanbar', which had already been heavily damaged, to death. After being hit by four heavy torpedoes, even a divine manifestation could not save the battleship 'Jeanbar'. The ferocious sea water poured into the battleship Jeanbar, a battleship with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons, which sank into the icy sea in less than two minutes. Of the thousands of French naval soldiers on the battleship, only a few dozen survived, and the rest, including the captain, all perished at the bottom of the sea with this battleship!

"Oh God! What's going on? Are the Chinese attacking us? "Vice Admiral Howard, commander of the British Navy's Mediterranean Fleet, stood on the bridge of the battleship 'Fearful' in disheveled clothes, looking at the slowly sinking battleship 'Jeanbar' in amazement, his eyes full of horror!

"General, it's a submarine! The Chinese used submarines to cross the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and launched an attack on us! Lieutenant General Howard's adjutant reported. At this moment, the sea was completely boiling. Dozens of light cruisers and destroyers of the British and French navies quickly shuttled on the sea surface, and the dazzling light from the searchlights scanned back and forth on the sea surface, looking for traces of Chinese submarines. And the attack of Chinese submarines has already begun.

"Torpedo! Quickly evade, two torpedoes are coming at us from the direction of 3 o'clock! "The sailors on the battleship 'Fearful', having spotted the torpedo coming from the right, warned loudly.

By the time the battleship Jean Barr was attacked, the British sailors aboard the Dreadnought were already in action. The real steam turbines are already running, and the battleships are already moving. It's just that it will take a while to go from stationary to high-speed. At this time, a submarine of the Chinese Navy had already launched an attack on the battleship "Dreadnought" and fired torpedoes at a distance of two kilometers from the battleship "Dreadnought".

The two destroyers quickly rushed to the place where the submarine appeared, and after the Chinese submarine launched the torpedo, it had already begun to dive urgently, and after diving to 50 meters of water, it would leave this dangerous sea area.

"Fire! Knock those two torpedoes out! "The gunners on the 'Fearful' gave the order with a pale face, although it seemed to be the last dying throe!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The 13 762-mm rapid-fire guns on the starboard side of the battleship 'Dreadnought' began to fire wildly at the surface of the sea in an attempt to destroy the two torpedoes. However, it is easier said than done to destroy a torpedo traveling at high speed!

At this time, a British Navy destroyer bravely rushed up and used its body to be on the right side of the battleship 'Fearful'. Prepare to sacrifice your own sacrifice to call for help from the battleship 'Dreadsome'. This fearless spirit is touching.

"Boom!" A heavy torpedo, which hit the destroyer. This poor destroyer has a displacement of just over a thousand tons. In the face of the terrifying power of the heavy torpedo, the root had no resistance. The violent explosion directly blew the destroyer in two. None of the dozens of British Navy sailors on board survived. However, the British sailors on the battleship 'Fearful' breathed a sigh of relief. With the armor of the battleship 'Dreadnought', it is very likely that it can withstand only one torpedo.

The luck of the battleship 'Dreadnought' was not bad, and the other torpedo made a mistake, because the depth was too deep, the torpedo passed under the belly of the battleship 'Dreadnought' and did not cause any damage to the battleship 'Dreadnought'!
