Yu Haiyang saw in the periscope that two torpedoes jumped out of the sea at a distance of about 350 meters from the left side of the Empress, and rushed towards the Empress at high speed close to the sea surface. At this distance, the torpedo could not be dodged by the battleship at all. "Great, well done," Yu Haitao was so excited that he couldn't help but shout loudly. The torpedoes carried by attack submarines were 410 mm, high explosives, tailored specifically for large warships, and small battleships in general were hit, almost to pieces.

Two torpedoes broke through the waves and were spotted by the Empress's flag soldiers, "Torpedoes, torpedoes!" "The guy was hoarse, and his voice changed tone. Before everyone had time to react, two torpedoes kissed up, and two huge explosions in succession caused the battleship to shake violently. In the command cabin, Baker thought he had been hit by a shell and hurriedly checked. An officer ran in in embarrassment and reported: "Report to the general, a series of torpedoes have been hit in the middle of the left rotation." "It's the enemy's submarines, and the enemy fleet actually has attack submarines," the chief of staff exclaimed.

At this moment, Baker's mind went blank and he went into a stupid state. "Torpedoes, torpedoes, two more torpedoes!" One of his subordinates exclaimed loudly, and everyone's eyes turned to the left, and sure enough, they found two torpedoes close to the sea. It was useless to give any orders at this time, watching the torpedoes approach at high speed. One of the first mates came to his senses and hurriedly filled the rudder, followed by two violent explosions. The battleship shook violently, and in an instant, a large amount of sea water poured in, and the swing of the battleship suddenly slowed down.

"Your Excellency, the battleship has suffered such a heavy blow that it may be difficult to survive, please move immediately," shouted the chief of staff. Baker was indifferent. He knew what was happening in front of him, it was the enemy who had long been preparing for haode, and the entire fleet was afraid that it would be attacked...... "Order all the battleships to retreat immediately!" "This is an order from Zuihou that Baker gave before he died." Torpedoes, torpedoes, two more torpedoes! An officer almost screamed, but Commander Baker was unmoved.

In the command cabin of the Beijing, Dai Hui saw black smoke rising from the side of the Empress, and then the sound of explosions came, so he waved his fist fiercely and said: "Order all ships to stop attacking the Empress!" At this time, an operational staff officer reported: "Report to the commander." There is a new situation that must be reported to you. "What's new?" "The reconnaissance submarine reconnaissance was wrong, and the original reconnaissance situation, the enemy Liberty and Tempest should have been stationed in the eastern ports of the Philippines. However, we determined that the enemy fleet had appeared the Liberty and Tempest. ”

Dai Hui said lightly: "It's not important now, even so we have earned," in fact, there is nothing wrong with the situation of submarine reconnaissance. The reason was that Commander Baker received an order from the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. Immediately transfer the Liberty and Tempest from the ports in the eastern Philippines to increase their combat strength. Then he ordered the Dutch Tulip and the Spanish battleship Matador to garrison in the east, and Commander Baker was distrustful of his motley allies, so the Tulip and Matador escaped.

With the third wave of torpedoes kissing the Empress, a torpedo exploded directly through the hole, then ignited the ammunition depot and exploded, followed by another explosion in the boiler, in an instant. The battleship Empress broke into two knots with roar and smoke, and sank to the bottom of the sea within minutes. Commander Baker simply didn't have time to show gentlemanliness. He followed his subordinates and died in the sea. Such a horrific scene is simply dazzling, and the rapid change is difficult for both sides to accept.

The Empress was suddenly attacked, and the warships adjacent to the left and right could see it clearly, and they also received the order to retreat at the first time. As the day did not set and was ready to turn and flee, the attack submarine of Group 2 aimed at the Sunset, and at least three torpedoes hit the sunset. The Sunset shook in a massive explosion, then slowed down. Seeing that the enemy fleet was in disarray, Dai Hui gave an order to leave the enemy's gunboats alone and make every effort to entangle the enemy's main battleships. Dai Hui then ordered the Beijing to move forward, targeting the British ship Sunset.

When the Empress was hit, Yu Haiyang knew that the enemy flagship could not escape, and immediately led the third team to lock on to the British ship Tempest, which had already begun to escape. Yu Haiyang led the pursuit and took the opportunity to fire torpedoes at its tail, one of the six torpedoes hit the propeller, and the Tempest was paralyzed in the sea. Seeing that the Tempest could not sail, Yu Haiyang was relieved and ordered the other two submarines to surface and immediately go to the transport ship to replenish the torpedoes.

The 4th group targeted the British Battle, but the battle distance was long, and the Battleship began to flee when it saw that the tide was over. But outflanked destroyers and frigates had already appeared in the northeast, the Battleship was entangled, the fourth group of submarines rushed to the battlefield, 5 out of 6 torpedoes hit, and the Battlehorn sank to the bottom of the sea in a wail. Dai Hui personally commanded and bombed the Sunset, the second round of shelling hit the middle, and the fourth round of shelling hit the middle, although the boiler of Sunset did not explode, but the water vapor gushed out, and the battleship stopped. Seeing this, the British sailors jumped into the sea to escape, and Dai Hui ordered to stop shooting.

There was no suspense in the battle, the first to surrender was the American ship Freedom, how many attack submarines in the sea of the Chinese fleet were the most critical factor, they were frightened stupid by the terrifying blow of the attacking submarines, and their spirits collapsed first. Then came the USS American, USS Philadelphia, USS Los Angeles. The Americans think differently, they will not bury their lives for no reason, especially when they see the fate of the British ships, so that they completely lose the will to resist. The Americans all surrendered, and the French ships France and the Portuguese Warriors were still playing, and soon the two battleships also hoisted white flags.

The British ship never set, and all the officers and men jumped into the sea, but the battleship did not explode, but floated there moaning. Only the British ship Tempest, which was still fighting. Dai Hui ordered the attack to stop, and the Tempest stopped firing back. Then there was a scene similar to that of the Shanghai. Dai Hui ordered the Tempest to surrender, but the British captain refused to surrender. Then the Tempest flagpole was hoisted with a rice flag, and all the officers and men lined up on the deck.

The British captain ordered to fight the sinking valve, and all the officers and men raised their hands to salute the British under the command of the captain, and the tragic scene happened again. Dai Hui sighed: "The British Navy is known as the supremacy of the sea, and it really deserves its name, and their courage is worthy of admiration. Pass me on the command to sound the whistle and salute the warriors. Dai Hui raised his hand and saluted. When the sea calmed down and all the officers and men remained silent, this tragic moment probably left an indelible mark on everyone's heart.

A simple surrender ceremony was then held, and due to the large number of warships, Dai Hui asked the captain of the US ship Liberty to act as an agent for the surrender ceremony. After the surrender ceremony, the sky was already full of colorful clouds. Dai Hui returned to the command cabin, and the chief of staff came in to report: "Report to the commander, the results of the battle have been counted, the enemy's flagship Empress has sunk, and the Tempest and Combat have sunk." The Enemy Sun Never Sets was heavily damaged and could be repaired after inspection. ”

The chief of staff continued: "Captured 7 of the enemy's main warships, the American ships USS Liberty, the USS America, the USS Los Angeles, the USS Philadelphia, including the British ship Sunset. The French ship USS France, the Portuguese battleship HMS Warrior. In addition, 6 enemy gunboats were captured and seriously damaged, 10 transport ships were captured, and two other gunboats, two minesweepers, escaped. "Haha, the Americans are really the captain of the transport brigade, and it looks like we have to thank the Americans." Dai Hui was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Except for the transport ship and the battleship Warrior, the other warships of the enemy fleet were bombarded and suffered varying degrees of damage." "It seems that the Portuguese did not contribute to the work, as evidenced by the integrity of their warships." Then the chief of staff reported his own ships, and each of them was wounded. Dai Hui sighed: "This is a naval battle, if we don't attack the submarine, I can't predict what the result will be." The defeat of the enemy was not expected, we had attack submarines, otherwise the result would not have been like this. ”

"Another situation?" The chief of staff lowered his voice. What's the situation? "We found more than 300 of our captured officers and men on the enemy transport ship, and after learning about the decoy fleet???????。" Dai Hui closed his eyes in pain after listening to the statement, and Dai Hui held back his grief for a long time and said: "Immediately dispatch two destroyers and 10 gunboats to search in the battlering waters, and we must find Deng Shichang's body." "What about the more than 300 officers and soldiers who were captured by the enemy?"

"What to do? They are all heroes, and I will personally award them with medals! "At this time, Dai Hui didn't know that Deng Shichang was still alive." Report to the commander, subordinates come to report, please speak! The captain of the submarine team, Yu Haiyang, stood in front of him in high spirits. Dai Hui's eyes lit up and said: "Captain Yu, the naval battle has achieved such brilliant results, your submarine team must remember the first credit, today I have seen the powerful power of attack submarines, it is simply terrifying." However, we have also exposed the submarine force, and this will not happen again in the future. As the saying goes, where there is a spear, there must be a shield, and the enemy suffers the loss of not knowing the truth. ”

Dai Hui said: "I have good news for you, the headquarters will soon set up a submarine hunting brigade to deal with submarines. The enemy suffered such a big loss, and soon came up with a way to deal with submarines, and in a short we were one step ahead. "Commander, the subordinates are not enough to worry about, it is the result of the commander's wise command, and the subordinates dare not be greedy for merit." "Because it should be said that it is the president's wisdom that we can win a decisive victory, Captain Yu, I will report to the fleet headquarters and give you and all the officers and men of the submarine group a commendation."

When dusk came, the chief of staff reported: "Commander, the battlefield has been cleaned!" "Order the fleet to set off and triumphant!" Suddenly, a staff officer hurriedly came in and said: "The gunboats that searched are back, they ??????。 After hearing this, Dai Hui stood up and said, "Chief of Staff, you take my place as the commander and command the fleet to return, and I will go to the hospital ship immediately." (To be continued......)

PS: Attack submarines proved their great value, and in the future the mode of naval warfare wells underwent significant changes.
