The destroyer [Yutachi] launched an attack at full speed towards the sea area where the periscope disappeared, and the fighting spirit of the officers and men of the whole ship was extremely high, and many people had actually linked the explosion on the [Furutaka] with the unidentified submarine in front of them, so they were all anxious to save some reputation for the Imperial Japanese Navy.

Immediately after discovering that the destroyer was approaching, the submarine immediately retracted its periscope, leaving only a ripple of foam on the surface of the sea.

"Reloaded." The reloading squad reported loudly to the chief non-commissioned officer of the turret commander Tamoto.

"Shoot!" The turret commander glanced at the sight, and after receiving the latter's affirmation, he gave the order to fire in a loud voice.

After a roar, the [Yuli] fired the first live salvo of this incident, and two 23-kilogram warheads flew towards the sea at a speed of 800 meters per second towards the sea 1,500 meters away.

After two dull explosions, two sharp columns of water rose from the surface of the sea. Of course, the shooting failed, but the Japanese naval officers and men on the deck of the ship cheered as if they had won some victory.

"What is [Yuli] doing? Why is she shooting, who is she firing at! Startled by the sound of gunfire, Takasu rushed to the deck on the port side with his lieutenant.

"Red Deer Noro! There's Ben this guy! Immediately send a signal to order [Yutachi] to stop the attack and immediately return to the formation. The commander roared and ordered.

Takasu is now beginning to regret that he agreed to [Yutachi] attack, obviously because he is afraid that the matter will not be big enough, and if he really damages and sinks the French submarine, it will definitely bring a big lawsuit to the Japanese Empire. When the time comes, let alone the Minister of Military Orders, even the Minister of the Navy will not be able to protect himself, and he may even be used as a scapegoat... No, it should be said that he will definitely be thrown out as a scapegoat to block the truth, and if he is lucky, he may be returned to the reserves, and if he is unlucky, he will have to taste military law.

At this time, the [Yutachi] had already run out of the distance of the flag communication, so the [King Kong] could only use the radio to notify the flagship [Kawauchi] of the second Sentai team, and then Kawauchi would convey the order to [Yutachi] to stop the battle.

Someone asked why [Yutachi] misread the flagship's order, and it is not complicated to explain this problem, and this has not happened once or twice in the Japanese Navy.

Because Japanese commonly used inverted grammar, such as the new China's military education movie tunnel warfare, in which the dialogue between Captain Yamada of the Japanese army and the puppet army Commander Tang, "The soldiers on the mud ground are not, and the tactics are not understood" This is the standard Japanese grammar, and the actors and crew participating in the show have personally experienced the Anti-Japanese War, and even had direct face-to-face contact with the Japanese army, otherwise they would not be able to grasp this tiny detail at all.

This is where the problem of the [Yutachi] lies, the flagship's order is to "drive away the submarine and prohibit attack." In Japanese, it becomes "The submarine drives away, and the attack is forbidden." ”。 Because of the distance between the two sides, the swaying of the hull, the influence of sunlight and smoke, etc., anyway, the last "prohibition" was inexplicably eaten by the signal soldiers, and the flagship was seriously replied with a "received" order.

However, if you are worried that [Yutachi] will sink and damage the submarine and cause a diplomatic incident, this is obviously Vice Admiral Takasu Shiro is a little overthinking, because with the current anti-submarine technology of the Japanese Navy, even the ordinary U-VII may not be able to catch it, let alone concentrate a bunch of U1001 with the most advanced technology at that time.

Captain Heinck's confidence in the submarine he piloted had been built through dozens of confrontation exercises, and that even Britain's newest anti-submarine destroyer would not be able to force the U1001 out of the water. Without the use of active sonar, ordinary destroyers would not even be able to find her whereabouts.

This submarine can dive 400 nautical miles underwater at a silent speed of six knots, and can also launch an underwater sprint at the limit speed of 19 knots, she can urgently dive to a depth of 300 meters underwater, and all the known anti-submarine weapons are powerless against it, she can use strong underwater maneuverability, cleverly seize a favorable launch position, she can use the bow sonar to aim and locate underwater, use an electric torpedo with no track, and launch a thunderous blow to the surface ship, so to speak, if the captain is willing, He can reverse the identity of the hunter and the prey at any time.

The "Yutachi" is the fourth ship of the [Hakuro] type destroyer designed by Japan in the thirties, with a length of 11 meters and a displacement of 1,685 tons.

As the main force of the surface tactics of the Japanese Combined Fleet, the mission of this destroyer is to launch a wave attack on the enemy fleet when the main force of the enemy fleet encounters, and attack the enemy ship with a torpedo salvo, with the intention of disrupting the surface formation of the enemy fleet.

This is a ship developed entirely for fleet warfare, and the Navy's top brass did not consider using it to deal with submarines from the beginning. The Japanese Navy has always had a wrong tactical understanding of submarines, and in the concept of the Japanese Navy, the threat always comes from the surface, and the sea attack of large ships and huge guns is the fate of naval men.

However, the Japanese Navy has always taken the British Navy as its own example, claiming to the outside world that it is in line with the trend of the times, and that all British destroyers are equipped with anti-submarine equipment, so of course the Japanese Navy destroyers must also have them.

Previously, Japan's underwater detection technology was completely blank, and although the underwater hydrophone was not a cutting-edge technology, the British were reluctant to export it. In the end, the Japanese Navy still got the technology from the Germans, and Hitler was hungry at that time, and he dared to sell anything as long as he was willing to pay for it. Japan bought German hydrophones and a full set of production technology, and the ones produced in Germany are called Baoshi hydrophones, and the ones that Japan itself imitates are called Jiusan style, which is actually talking about the same thing.

To tell the truth, Germany had the most advanced submarine technology in the world at that time, but when it comes to German surface anti-submarine technology, it can really only be regarded as a third-rate level. In terms of detection and anti-submarine technology, German surface ships have always lagged far behind the allied forces such as Britain, France, and the United States, mainly because the aura of U-boats is too brilliant, which has covered up the embarrassment and ugliness of the German Navy's anti-submarine forces.

The 93-type hydrophone, which imitated the German hydrophone equipment, almost never played a role in actual combat. What Germany exported was actually a hydrothesaurus equipment for use on submarines, which was not suitable for use on surface ships, and the Germans apparently kept a hand on it and did not explain it carefully to Japan.

Originally, the Japanese Navy also installed it on its own submarines, but the shipbuilding department saw that there were requirements in the technical specifications of the destroyer, and there was no other similar equipment in the equipment manual, so they simply installed it without changing it.

The "Yutachi" rushed to the sea area where the submarine was diving, and sure enough, in the brand-new Type 93 underwater phone that had just been installed at the beginning of the year, there was no movement of the submarine except for the noisy propellers and engines on the side of its own fleet.

"Periscope! Nine hundred meters on the port side! The lookout exclaimed.

"It can't be!" Captain Arimoto picked up the periscope and rushed to the port side of the bridge.

"There's no way she's going to get to that position, there's more than one submarine lurking under the surface here!" Seeing the periscope that was slowly sinking nine hundred meters away, Arimoto Shaozuo's face changed at that time.
