"Torpedo!"

A Japanese cruiser was looking for traces of submarines everywhere, and the soldiers on board kept looking, when suddenly two splashes of water shot at them from 1,500 meters.

Submarine! It was the submarine that the Japanese were searching for, but this submarine had already shown its fangs, and a deadly attack had been launched, and the Japanese could only desperately turn around, trying to dodge the torpedo.

But it was already in vain, the Japanese dodged only one torpedo, and the other hit the bow of the ship exactly once, and immediately the bow of the cruiser was blown beyond recognition. The battleship could not withstand it, let alone a cruiser, the sea frantically poured into the warship, this warship was top-heavy, the stern was exposed to the water, high, and the appearance was very strange.

Suddenly, there was a sound of metal tearing in the middle of the warship, and the warship also broke in half and sank into the sea. In less than ten minutes, the two warships in front and behind were sunk, and the Japanese were hit on the head and knocked them unconscious at once.

It is absolutely the greatest irony that the Combined Fleet, since its formation, probably did not suffer such heavy losses, and the warships were sunk, while the enemy did not even have a shadow.

Of course, the remaining warships also knew that the enemy had not disappeared, but was still underwater nearby, and could launch another deadly attack like a poisonous snake at any time, but they didn't care about possible losses, and these Japanese looked for ghosts under the water as if they were crazy.

A destroyer quickly approached in the direction of the submarine Wolf II, and the joy of sinking the cruiser just did not last long before they faced the first attack, and the Japanese soldiers rushed over and threw depth charges underwater.

The Japanese also did not know the exact location of the submarine. They are more out of anger, to release their fears. Depth charges exploded continuously, and the huge water pressure made the hull make a burst of sound, and the soldiers inside trembled, and they felt the enemy attack for the first time in actual combat.

Every soldier raised his heart to his throat, submariners are dancing on the tip of a knife, once something goes wrong with the submarine, they don't even have a chance to live, they all have to be buried at the bottom of the sea.

It was as if a century had passed, and the sound of explosions in the water had finally disappeared. The submarine was more than 30 meters underwater, like a huge whale, quietly slipping outside.

Compared with the submarine's quiet touching, deep hidden merit and fame, the Mackensen can be described as earth-shattering at this time, with full horsepower. Leaving only a graceful splash on the surface of the water.

Chen Jiliang, who had been trembling on the ship, suddenly heard an explosion from the King Kong. It was clear to him at once. The opportunity I've been waiting for has finally arrived. Sure enough, compared to the waste warship Mackensen, the King Kong and the Chinese submarine are more concerned. The two Japanese warships towing the Mackensen quickly cut the cable and let the Mackensen go, and they rushed towards the Kongo.

In fact, faster than them, Chen Jiliang had already asked people to untie the cables of the other two tugboats. Kendall and the others were in their working positions, and just as the Japanese were frantically pursuing the submarine, the Mackensen was finally activated, and the thick chimney was billowing black smoke. The massive hull resembles a giant beast awakened.

There was a violent tremor that shook off all the shackles on his body, and Kendall also arrived in the command room at this time and stood side by side with Chen Jiliang. He couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Congratulations, I think this will be a great victory that will go down in history!" ”

"No, my friend, there is still a long way to go before victory, so let's start fleeing!"

The Mackensen first followed its inertia and headed east for a while, then immediately turned the rudder and ran back in the direction of Bohai Bay. It is not easy to control a behemoth of more than 30,000 tons, and without Kendall's experienced German navy, there is absolutely no way to be so relaxed.

At the moment when the warship turned, dozens of soldiers of the Feng Army twisted Taro Ahita and the others onto the deck, their hands trapped by belts. A soldier twisted Taro Akita's chest and threw it into the sea, and the guy fell into the cold water.

The others did the same in turn, throwing the Japanese soldiers into the sea to feed the sharks.

"Hmph, bullshit Great Japanese Empire, go to the sea to see your emperor!"

After the garbage was removed, the Mackensen began to speed up. Looking at the dark sea, Chen Jiliang's heart was also surging, and finally the most difficult pass was passed, and such an excellent battleship was finally about to fall into the hands of Fengjun. The little devils dare to intercept the warships today, and tomorrow they will make their combined fleet pay an even heavier price.

"Old friend, can you hurry up? Japanese warships chased after them. Chen Jiliang suddenly shouted anxiously.

Launching a big guy of more than 30,000 tons is, of course, a huge thing, and the Japanese are frantically looking for the submarine of the Feng Army, but they suddenly discovered that the Mackensen has been launched. These Japanese are not stupid, a thought flashed through their minds in an instant, they were fooled!

It turned out that the warship was able to act, but it had been pretending to be a grandson, which was definitely a conspiracy, the submarine sneak attack, and the Mackensen escaped. The Japanese didn't catch anything, and as a result, they lost the Kongo in vain, which is simply a great shame.

Did the people of China use the Japanese Empire as a monkey! The remaining three warships were all furious, and they did not look for submarines anymore, but desperately pursued the Mackensen, and absolutely could not let this big guy return to Mukden safely, all the Japanese soldiers had gone crazy.

The three destroyers showed a fan-shaped face, and quickly chased towards the Mackensen, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and the Japanese had already issued a zuihou warning, demanding that the Mackensen must stop, otherwise they would open fire, Chen Jiliang got the news, and his head was sweating.

"Old friend, if we don't hurry up, we won't be able to run!"

Kendall was also anxious: "Chen, you must know that the Mackensen has not completed the sea trials in the strict sense, and we are not sure about a lot of data, and it is very dangerous to rush to the top speed, and it has been a long voyage." The state of the warship is also not good. ”

"I don't care, anyway, I want to get rid of those little things, do you want us to be captured by the Japanese?"

Kendall suddenly smiled: "Chen, to deal with these little things, you don't actually need to run away." ”

Chen Jiliang's brain also quickly spun, although the Mackensen did not have the main gun, but there were still two secondary guns left, although they were secondary guns, but they were also 150mm, which was enough to deal with the destroyer.

"Good. Let's also open the meat and smash these little devils. ”

Several of the former German gunners all moved into combat positions and reappeared in the boiling sea, and these German soldiers also found their former feelings, and their spirits were highly concentrated.

At this time, the Japanese were getting closer and closer to the Mackensen. The Japanese could no longer hold back, and they aimed their guns at the Mackensen. The shells were fired mercilessly. The German sailors were not surprised. With the help of the fire of the Japanese shelling, they quickly determined the exact location of the warship, and the two secondary guns were quietly aimed at a Japanese destroyer.

In a flash of fire, two shells smashed together, and the Japanese did not expect that the Mackensen still had the ability to counterattack, and they were immediately dumbfounded.

The shells grazed the deck and fell into the sea. There was no damage, but it also frightened the Japanese, and shells were fired one after another. Finally, a shell landed on the bow of the ship, and a large hole in a meter radius was immediately exploded. The Japanese on the ship were also embarrassed and bombed to pieces.

The other two warships were also shocked when they saw that their companions were attacked, and it turned out that they were not chasing a harmless little white rabbit, but a snake with hidden fangs, which could kill them at any time.

The speed of these two warships also slowed down, and just as they were pondering how to attack the Mackenson, Chen Shaokuan's Wolf No. 1 submarine was already ready to attack.

After killing the King Kong, he had the submarine dive in order to provide cover for the Mackensen's escape, and now that the two warships had slowed down, they fired four torpedoes in succession, like four sharp swords. The Japanese were already frightened by the torpedoes, and when they saw the torpedo attack, they were all stupid, and there was only one thought in their minds, that is, to run for their lives quickly.

The two destroyers relied on their good flexibility and finally dodged the torpedo attack, but they no longer dared to pursue the Mackensen, not only the warship was thorny, but who knows how many submarines there are around, and will launch a sneak attack on them, which is simply terrible!

The Japanese can only report the situation to the xiangshang level and see what instructions are available in Japan. In fact, when the King Kong sank, it had already been reported to Tokyo.

It's just that when I first received this telegram, the operator still regarded it as a prank, China's maritime liliang was almost negligible, and the Mackensen was dismantled with cannons, so who could threaten the King Kong, even if it was placed there, let you fight, there was no way to sink it.

But the telegrams that followed one after another, finally brought the Japanese to their senses, and this was not a joke, the battleship they were proud of was sunk!

This news fell on the heads of the Japanese like a bolt from the blue, and these clerks did not dare to slack off, and they did not stop for a moment and hurriedly reported the news layer by layer. It was reported to the Minister of the Navy, Yuzaburo Kato, and the Minister of the Navy woke Kato from his sleep, and the Minister of the Navy was extremely dissatisfied.

But when the news of the sinking of the King Kong was put in front of him, Kato was already sleepy, and his head was covered in cold sweat.

"Rice bucket, shame!" Kato scolded, but he also knew that the sinking of a capital ship was a major event that had never been seen in Japanese history, and it was likely that Japan's national policy would change, so they couldn't help but be shocked.

"I'll go to see the prime minister immediately, you immediately give an order to Lushun's fleet, immediately dispatch, be sure to intercept the Mackensen, and definitely not let this warship return to China!"

Yuzaburo Kato went straight to the Prime Minister's official residence, for the Japanese, this is destined to be a sleepless night, all the old ministers were alarmed, they were all stunned, frightened stupid, and even all of them were scorched by thunder, and everyone had only one question, that is, the King Kong Weishenme would sink, how could it sink, what happened?

While Tokyo was already in a panic, Port Arthur was a different scene, with the lights in the military port being brilliant, and countless Japanese people still immersed in indulgence and joy, holding women, crying wolves, and enjoying a comfortable life. While pouring sake into his mouth, he sang songs from his hometown.

At this moment, three Yaksha-class submarines quietly emerged outside the harbor. After the sealed hatch was opened, the filthy gas in the submarine was suddenly swept away by the sea breeze. Dozens of big men stuffed in a stuffy jar are really uncomfortable. Food, oil, and even stinky farts are all tangled.

In the small space, mixed with these smells, who can still be comfortable, especially along the way, you have to be careful to prevent being discovered by the Japanese, after all, after the Lushun garrison, the Japanese used Bohai as their bathtub, not to come and shop.

Along the way, the submarine formation encountered two Japanese patrol boats, both of which were almost discovered by the Japanese, and four submarines were dispatched at first, but soon after they came out, one of the batteries broke down and had to return to the base, and as a result, only three were able to enter the battle, and in any case finally arrived.

Tang Junyao raised the telescope and observed the situation, it was still about five kilometers away from Lushun, the three submarines were already in the center of the main channel, there were still sporadic lights over the city in the distance, there was no movement on the most dangerous fort for the time being, and there were no ships around, so it was the best time to start.

"It's time for the brethren to do it!"

Tang Junyao gave an order, all the soldiers moved, and the sailors ran to the stern of the ship, untied the mines on the slide and slowly lowered them.

For example, before this departure, Tang Junyao specially organized and discussed, in line with the principle of grasping the big and letting go of the small, they chose to set a depth of three meters, so that ships of about one or two thousand tons would not be hit due to the draft depth, and this depth was not easy to be seen by the naked eye in the turbid water ripple conditions at the junction of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea.

Three Yaksha-class, a total of only 36 mines, Tang Junyao according to Jihua, chose a zigzag mine-laying method, every 30 meters, put an anchor mine, according to the original calculation, if four warships come, 48 mines can basically seal the main channel, but due to a problem with one, the result of this mine array is insufficient.

When laying mines, Tang Junyao could only hope that God would bless him, which also taught the submariners a lesson, and in the future, when formulating combat jihua, enough backups must be flowed out.

When a mine was laid, Tang Junyao was already drenched in hot sweat, these young men quietly dived into the water, temporarily went to three kilometers away to observe the situation, if the Japanese warship escaped the mine array, they would use torpedoes to kill them, in short, to block them!
