"Why don't you let the submarine intercept it?"

For this proposal, Machar also shook his head, the submarine is the main force of his delayed enemy army, if it is dispersed, it will not be able to exert the delay effect, and now the enemy has increased the speed to 16 knots, and if it is not delayed, it will not be able to catch up with the enemy before dawn.

Faced with the situation that the volley could not be done and it was not possible to volley, Machar's brain started at high speed, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Divide the troops, let the Scharnhorst take 2 destroyers to chase the top speed!" ”

Hintz was anxious: "In this way, the battleship will become 3v3, and our advantage will be further weakened." ”

"Not necessarily, when Scharnhorst finishes packing up these few escaped warships, you can continue to pursue the ship, which is not only fueled, but also fast enough, and more importantly, Scharnhorst also has torpedoes and has been replaced with 380mm naval guns! Not a single ship of the US military fleet is an opponent of this ship! ”

Hintz was stunned for a moment, and then nodded subconsciously: The two warships of the Scharnhorst class have replaced the original 283mm naval guns with the same 380mm as Tirpitz by taking advantage of the gap in maintenance in the past few years, and although the only Iowa class in the U.S. Army is stronger than the Scharnhorst class, but now in a state of injury, the Scharnhorst-class class has the strength to fight, and the power of the Alaska-class artillery is not as good as the reequipped Scharnhorst-class, so Machar thinks that there is a fight.

At 12:07, the Scharnhorst, having received the order, changed course, broke away from the main formation, and swooped down ferociously at a high speed of 4 knots.

"Left car into two, torpedo ready!"

"Launch!"

"Sir, there's a torpedo coming!" The U.S. sonar soldier nervously changed his voice.

"Where? How far away? ”

"Left flank position, 50 knots or more at a speed of 2400 meters! At least 8 of them! ”

"What? So fast? ”

"Anti-torpedo preparation!"

"Close-in defense artillery"

The poor sailors widened their eyes and carefully searched the sea for traces of torpedoes, but they found nothing at all, no definite findings, and the ships could only turn to avoid according to the vague positioning of the sonar crews.

"It's there! There! ”

It was not until they approached a distance of about 700 meters that the oxygen torpedo was discovered by the US military, and they tried their best to get rid of it while turning to evade, but the nervous captains forgot one thing, they were not maneuvering a new aircraft carrier that was intact and could run out of 30 knots casually, and today it was only 18 knots or even 16 knots.

"Boom!" The sound of a huge explosion was accompanied by a column of water that soared into the sky, and seeing that the New Jersey on the right flank could not be avoided, the light cruiser Dayton pounced on it and greeted the kiss of the oxygen torpedo with its own body.

This kiss of death was not something that a mere 10,000-ton cruiser could withstand, and soon the ship began to sink slowly.

"Damn it!"

Before everyone could come to their senses, the torpedoes on the left flank also pounced: this time the target was the already injured aircraft carrier Valley Forge, and this time it was the light cruiser Sbokan that stepped forward, his tonnage was only more than 6,000 tons, and his resistance to beating was even worse, and he was directly broken in two pieces and broke in the middle.

A wave of torpedo harvesting took away 2 warships, and Mitchell's face was ugly, he already knew what this was a German submarine.

The thought of the dense German wolf pack made his scalp tingle, and the destroyers had begun to throw depth charges frantically, but to no avail, because the 4 XXI and XXIII class submarines had already run to the front.

"Reload!"

"Rush! Rush over and don't take the anti-submarine evasion route! Mitchell shouted, "Leave 2 destroyers to rescue the people who have fallen into the water, and the rest of the warships rush over!" ”

Although that being said, the chaos just now had been delayed for at least 15 minutes, and the even worse news came from the radar room: "More than 80 kilometers behind the fleet, a large number of enemy ships were discovered, the number was more than 30, and the speed was 35 knots!" ”

"These are German destroyers and torpedo boats!"

"Let the destroyers and PT boats deal with them!" Looking at the dense light spots on the radar room, everyone only felt their scalps tingle, and the desperate posture of the German army fully showed that they had caught up.

Now is not a good time to disband the formation, once disbanded, the lonely warship falling into the hands of the Germans is basically the rhythm of the end. Therefore, while gritting their teeth and desperately fleeing, the US military continued to adjust its formation, preparing to use destroyers and PT boats to stop the opponent and protect the retreat of the main fleet.

But they forgot that there were submarines waiting for them in front of them, and at 1:57 on March 16, the four German submarines that had completed the reloading of torpedoes launched another surprise attack, and 12 oxygen torpedoes began to kill them.

"And submarines!"

"Torpedo is coming!"

Mitchell and the others' faces changed in an instant, and in the last round of fighting, they had already understood that these torpedoes were not simple goods, they were all mysterious and powerful torpedoes.

"Rush over! It's the only option! Otherwise, we're going to be entangled in the lightning strike forces behind! ”

"Quick!"

In the second round of submarine attacks, because the cruiser barrier had been weakened a lot, finally a capital ship began to mine the Guam battle cruiser on the port side of a torpedo, blowing up a huge gap, the speed was reduced to 12 knots at once, and the hull as a whole tilted 17 degrees to the left.

Six minutes later, a torpedo with a huge range and penetrating right flank found the Tasquin, and the Atlanta-class light cruiser also fell before dawn.

And now, the lightning strike fleet behind them has pursued less than 70 kilometers away

ps: I wasted a lot of time on traffic today, but I visited Ueno Park, saw the bronze statue of Takamori Saigo, took my children to visit the National Museum of Science and Technology, the National Museum, and saw a bunch of Chinese cultural relics in the National Museum, but the streets of Rìběn are really clean, waiting for the tram and the subway are all lined up in a regular manner, and no one flocks to grab a seat at the door

Tomorrow's update may be very late.,During the tour.,I can only ask for your bearing.,I'll update it every day as much as possible.,The time can only be uncertain Sorry.,Sorry!
