1595 Underwater hunting
The reason why Ichiro Abe was surprised was because what appeared in front of Ichiro Abe was a slender ship, the hull looked slender and slender, which was very different from the bloated hull of the container ship, and the hull was very simple and angular, Ichiro Abe instantly understood: It was the Divine Beast-class destroyer of the Lin Yuan Navy!
Abe Ichiro thought, "Should I hit the transport ships of Lin Yuan's troops or their warships?" Hitting these two targets can achieve the purpose of attracting enemy warships, but hitting warships requires a larger angle of deflection, and there are anti-torpedo things on the warships, so it is not easy for us to achieve results when we hit warships, so we should still hit transport ships. ”
Thinking of this, Ichiro Abe said, "Torpedo chief, prepare to attack the enemy transport ship at the front!" After saying that, he let go of the periscope and stood aside, so the torpedo chief took the periscope and looked at the water, because in the process of torpedo attack, the target, the submarine and the torpedo are constantly moving, so if the torpedo wants to hit the target, it must calculate the advance angle of the torpedo.
The weapons officer looked at the target and said: "The target position, fifteen degrees north-east, a distance of one thousand meters, and a calibration depth of five meters, begin to calculate the shooting elements." The operator on one side records all kinds of data, calculates it, and then sends the data to the department that controls the submarine, adjusts the position of the submarine by adjusting the rudder, and points the bow to the advance angle of the transport ship that attacks the front.
Just as the Japanese submarine was nervously preparing for the launch of the torpedo, suddenly the sonar soldier shouted: "Captain, there is a high-speed target coming towards our boat. ”
Ichiro Abe thought to himself, "High-speed target? What is that? Is it the torpedo on Lin Yuan's warship? Was there a torpedo on Lin Yuan's warship? Ichiro Abe asked, "What is it?" ”
The sonar soldier replied loudly: "I don't know, I only know that the speed of the road may be more than fifty knots!" ”
Ichiro Abe thought to himself, "More than fifty knots? Oh my God, what is this! Whatever it is, it's dangerous as it's coming towards us, and I must dodge it! So Ichiro Abe said in a loud voice: "Torpedo firing interrupted!" Dive at full speed! ”
The sailors on the boat heard this order and immediately opened the exhaust valve of the fast diving tank, which is also a water tank, but this water tank is equipped with a fast breather valve, and the speed of inflation and deflation is several times that of the main ballast water tank, so the speed of diving and floating is very fast.
As soon as the exhaust valve was opened, the high-pressure air pump pumped the air in the fast diving tank from the water tank into the boat, and the sea valve was immediately opened, and a large amount of seawater entered the submarine, and the submarine immediately dived to the submarine. The torpedo is fixed in depth when sailing, and it will definitely not increase the depth of the dive! So as long as we dive, we will definitely be able to dodge the torpedoes of Lin Yuan's warship. ”
Abe Ichiro thought for a moment: "If you dodge the torpedoes of Lin Yuan's troops, you should lead the warships of Lin Yuan's forces to our ambush circle." So Ichiro Abe said: "Dive to a depth of forty meters, turn on the motor at full speed, turn the course, and the target: ambush circle." ”
With a command, the chief engineer immediately adjusted the speed of the motor to the maximum, and the submarine slowly accelerated and headed towards the ambush circle, at this moment, the sonar soldier suddenly said: "Report to the captain, the torpedo of Lin Yuan's warship is chasing us!" ”
Ichiro Abe's mind went blank when he heard this, and after a while, he thought, "Chasing us?" How is this possible? How did their torpedoes know that we were diving? Could it be that someone is maneuvering on their torpedoes? ”
Ichiro Abe hurriedly said, "Are you sure you heard it right?" Was it really their torpedo that came after them? ”
The sonar soldier shouted, "I heard you right, it's their torpedo coming." The sonar soldier's voice was also heard by the people in the boat, and the Japanese soldiers heard a torpedo chasing after them, and sweat beads oozed from everyone's faces and foreheads, and Ichiro Abe thought to himself, "How did their torpedoes find us?" How did you discover us? ”
Abe Ichiro's heart was muttering, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and the scene of the mine explosion in the port channel came to mind, and Abe Ichiro immediately thought: "Sound, the torpedoes of the Mo Fei Lin Yuan army are also equipped with something that can listen to sound tracking?" Thinking of this, Ichiro Abe hurriedly said: "Dive to a depth of eighty meters and turn off the motor!" No one is allowed to move or make a sound! ”
Abe Ichiro's heart is very clear that in the confrontation between the submarine and the warship, the submarine is at a complete disadvantage in speed, if the submarine wants to turn on the motor at full speed to escape, it is simply suicide, because then the submarine will not only not be able to outrun the warship, but the sound of the motor running at full speed will also tell the warship its location, but just now in order to lure Lin Yuan's warship to chase, the motor was turned on at full speed, and now the torpedo on Lin Yuan's warship has the function of tracking the sound, and can only choose to be silent underwater, Hopefully this torpedo will be dodged!
But at this moment, Ichiro Abe saw the sonar soldier reach out and take off the earphones, and then he heard the sonar soldier say, "The torpedo is coming soon, and the sound is too harsh!" ”
Ichiro Abe knew that he couldn't dodge, and shouted loudly, "Hold on!" Immediately reached out and grabbed the bulge on the command platform in front of him, waiting for the ensuing explosion, and the others also grabbed the bulge around them with their hands, suddenly, the hull shook suddenly, a muffled sound came, the water pipe in the command room "bang" burst, the water inside flew out like an arrow, a spark burst out on the communication platform, everyone's hearts trembled, and a terrifying thought appeared in everyone's mind: we were torpedoed!
At this moment, a report came from the rear compartment: "Captain, the engine room was hit, the propeller stalled, the motor stopped, and the aft torpedo compartment leaked in many places. ”
Ichiro Abe immediately said, "Plug the leak immediately!" Before he finished speaking, he heard an officer say: "Captain, there is a lot of water in the tail of the submarine, and the tail is ten degrees!" ”
Ichiro Abe hurriedly said: "Immediately fill the bow ballast tank with water and keep your balance!" At this time, another report was made: "Captain, there is a fire in the battery compartment." ”
Abe Ichiro then let people put out the fire again, and when he was in a hurry, the first mate said loudly: "Captain, abandon the ship!" This submarine can't be saved! ”
Ichiro Abe said in a loud voice, "What did you say? Why can't you keep it? ”
The first mate said: "The torpedo compartment and engine room in the stern are all flooded, and the ballast water tanks outside the torpedo tank and engine room are all damaged. ”
Ichiro Abe said loudly: "Then you can't abandon the ship!" ”
The first mate said: "If you don't abandon the ship, you will only die!" The crew of our submarine is very difficult to train, and if we die in this submarine, it will be a great loss to the Empire! ”
Abe Ichiro thought for a moment, and then said: "What you said makes sense, our submarine crew is the elite of the Imperial Army, and we should continue to fight, and we can't die here!" Are the regulator compartments and regulator gates damaged? ”
The first mate said, "Amaterasu bless, it's not bad!" ”
Abe Ichiro nodded and said, "Okay, pass my order and abandon the ship!" Everyone, change into life jackets, enter the pressure regulator chamber, and prepare to escape! ”
