"Left full rudder! Two cars at full speed! Captain Arimoto yelled at the point where the periscope had disappeared.

The submarine's second exit was seen by the captain as an insult to the Yutachi and herself. This kind of behavior is so arrogant that it is obvious that this magnificent destroyer of the Imperial Japanese Navy is not taken into account.

The [Bailu]-class destroyer is equipped with two Type 94 depth charge droppers (called bomb throwers in Japan) on the stern deck, which are actually imitations of the Y guns developed by the British Navy in the latter part of World War I. As the name suggests, the side of the weapon looks like the English letter Y, with a throwing stand attached to each of the forks of the Y. When used, depth charges are placed on the dropping rack, and gunpowder is used as power to simultaneously throw depth charges at the sides of the ship, with a projection distance of about 20 to 30 meters, which can be used to attack targets in shallow water and ensure the safety of the destroyer itself.

The performance of this weapon is also remarkable, after all, the British Royal Navy itself is still in use, the problem is that when using it, you must first find out the location of enemy submarines, otherwise no matter how powerful it is, it can only be used to murder seafood.

With the anti-submarine capability of the [Yutachi], it is obviously impossible to do it, and the listener operator is eager to put the headphones into his ears, but no matter how he repeatedly adjusts, he still can't hear any suspicious sounds, on the contrary, the fleet in the distance is lively and tight, and a large number of propellers make a noisy noise.

"Still can't hear anything? How can it be repaired! She can't run far, she must be down there. Thunder is ready to launch! Fifteen degrees on the left side! Yuben's face became more and more ugly, he regretted that he rushed to show his head, if he didn't hit anything this time, it would be a loss of face for the Imperial Navy again, and the commander of the battle team, Rear Admiral Omori Sentaro, would definitely try to find a way to put on his own shoes.

"Captain! [Abukuma] sent an order from the commander to prohibit attacks! Return to the team now! At this moment, the telecommunications squad leader climbed the compass bridge with a narrow telegraph newspaper.

"Nani! (What)" Arimoto was stunned and took the telegram from the telecommunications squad leader.

"Maziyi (bad)!" The next moment, Arimoto rushed to the mine chief who was issuing the order, and snatched the telephone from the other party's hand.

"Control Ge Qi lick the west, expand the country and destroy Leda! (Stop attacking!) That's an order! Before he could finish speaking, two explosions came from the stern of the ship, almost superimposed.

Arimoto poked his head out of the bridge window and saw a black dot thrown high, then tumbled along a graceful parabola and fell to the surface.

"Moximoxi? (Hey, hey?) Chop off the foot, Nani oh order (Captain?) What command? The voice of the thunderbolt squad leader came from the microphone.

"Expand the country wow liver called Dies, Ali Mododis, control Ge Qi lick the west. (This is the captain, there is Ben, stop the attack.) Youben said weakly, and then handed the microphone back to the mine chief.

"Commander, the [Yutachi] threw a bomb!" A staff officer reported to Takasu.

"What? Did you hit the submarine? ”

"There are no further reports yet, and there should be no hit."

"Okay, I got it." Although Takasu wanted to scold his mother angrily, he couldn't care about anything at this time, and now he only prayed that the situation would not expand again, so that his wife would take this fleet to the destination peacefully.

The French Far East Fleet had automatically entered onlooker mode, and they lined up in a loose horizontal column a kilometer north of the Japanese fleet, monitoring the Japanese Navy's rescue operations.

Rear Admiral Corinne sent a telegram asking if the Japanese needed help from the French Navy, but Takasu of course declined the offer, saying that everything was still under the control of the Imperial Japanese Navy, and that the Imperial Navy expressed its sincere gratitude to the French counterparts for their enthusiasm.

The words were spoken, but Takasu had always had a sense of foreboding in his heart, especially after the [Yutachi] disobeyed the order, and this feeling became stronger and stronger.

"There's a letter from the Combined Fleet Headquarters asking what the situation is going on with the [Furutaka]." The communications staff officer walked over to Takasu and reported.

"The report is still under investigation."

"Lieutenant General Yamamoto asked if he needed support, and how was the situation with [King Kong] and [Haruna]."

"Tell Your Excellency Yamamoto that there is no damage to the third team."

"Commander Shimada of the Southern Fleet called that the Sixth Destroyer Group had departed from Kaohsiung Port, and he also asked about the number of light and serious wounded in the fleet."

"I would like to express my gratitude to Commander Shimada, and I will inform him as soon as the number of wounded is counted."

Takasu and his staff team stood on top of the hangar deck of the [King Kong], and everyone looked worriedly at the [Kotaka] with billowing black smoke in the distance.

The damage to the heavy patrol looked worse than expected, and the cause of the explosion is unknown, but according to the available evidence, it should have a lot to do with the quadruple torpedo tubes on the starboard side of the battleship, since the center of the fire was currently located on the torpedo tubes.

The powerful Type 93 acid torpedo, which gave the Japanese Navy high hopes, was regarded by the Navy as the most secret super trump card. With its long range, great power, and strong concealment, it was a decisive weapon used by the Japanese Navy to confront the powerful enemy on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Now that this trump card has not been played, it has exploded the heavy patrol of his own house first, and what annoys the Japanese Navy even more is that the French Navy is surrounded by a circle.

Fearing that it would leak secrets, the Furutaka did not dare to throw the remaining 93 torpedoes into the sea, and it seemed that the fire had been controlled, but the temperature near the deck was rising sharply.

The drive motor of the torpedo loader was damaged, and the sailors, braving the scorching heat and pungent smoke, used their strength to transfer only one torpedo to the bow deck. For fear of being seen by the French, they also covered it with canvas.

The heavy patrol was armed with a total of sixteen Type 93 oxygen torpedoes, eight on each side, and it is certain that one or two torpedoes had exploded in the port tubes, and two more torpedoes were currently installed in the burning tubes. If the remaining two torpedoes were lured by the flames, even Amaterasu didn't know if the [Furutaka] Heavy Patrol would be able to hold up.

"Commander, if the situation does not improve, we must consider giving up [Ancient Eagle]." Vice Admiral Takahashi Ibo, the chief of staff of the fleet, who was also temporarily transferred, said while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Don't say such things now, Your Excellency, give up [Ancient Eagle], none of us can afford this responsibility." Takasu glanced at the Chief of Staff and raised his telescope again.

"The [Yuli] has returned, awaiting orders." A staff officer stepped forward to report.

"Order her to stay by the flagship's side and keep guard." Takasu replied impatiently.

"Ha, order [Yuli] to be on alert." The staff officer trotted and turned to leave.

"Flagship command, let's act as a guard on the left flank." The Signal Soldier's face was swollen, and his voice was now leaking.

"Did you see her?" Ariben asked, leaning on the fence and looking up.

"Southwest to starboard, behold, she floated up! It's that submarine! The mastig lookout screamed loudly.

"What? Where, where? ”

"Brute, do you look down on people?"

"I bet it must be the most advanced submarine of the French!"

"We're not defeated, that's an order from above."

The officers and men on the bridge began to talk nonsense.

Arimoto looked at his glasses, staring at the sea to the southwest. I saw a pale gray periscope breaking through the water and speeding forward at an astonishing speed, estimated to be about eight to nine knots, which was already more than most of the Japanese Navy's submarines.

Then a wave scattered, and half of the blue-gray conning tower was exposed, completely different from the submarine conning tower that I had seen before, this conning tower had a smooth arc shape, and the moist shell reflected the sunlight, looking like the back of an orca from a distance.

The submarine did not continue to rise, only a conning tower was exposed on the surface of the water, and the entire hull was still hidden under the turquoise water, which aroused a strong curiosity in Yuben, who believed that there must be a hidden mystery under the surface, and from this conning tower, it can be seen that the submarine must have a distinctive appearance.

"U1001, it's U1001 Ka..... Submarine Karma of the Independence Navy! An lookout shouted.

"It's the most advanced submarine in the country! Awesome, awesome! Ariben sighed, and he also saw the white number painted on the submarine control tower, the huge U letter, which represented the prestige of the submarine force of the Great German Imperial Navy.

"Camera! Get your camera! "Youben felt that it was a huge discovery, and that he should have taken a picture of this never-before-seen submarine.

The huge gray conning tower split the waves, splashing like her white wings spreading to the sides, and then the conning tower began to descend slowly, apparently the submarine was diving again.

"Don't, wait a minute!" Ariben hurriedly opened the holster of his camera, and when he turned the viewfinder window to the submarine, all he could find was a huge whirlpool and white foam swirling with the waves.
