Below, Deng Jieqian, who was staring at the patrol, didn't know that there were reconnaissance planes and Herbert above, or rather, they didn't have the time to think about them, Deng Jieqian's entire energy was occupied by these two patrols, compared to the escort fleet, the patrol was the real result.

In the sea duel in the new era, the operation of breaking diplomatic relations is still in its infancy, but even in the later generations when the operation of breaking diplomatic relations is more mature, in the choice of 2 quasi-capital ships and more than a dozen merchant ships, I am afraid that most of the naval officers will choose the former, and even unceremoniously said, after defeating these two quasi-capital ships, the other merchant ships may not be able to run away evenly, for Deng Jieqian, now it depends on whether their encirclement is more timely, or the other party is faster.

In fact, luck seems to be on the side of China's submarine forces, the escape patrol, I have to say that they are more unlucky, just on the road of the submarine, the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, only less than 500 meters, in the rapid entry, in order to intercept this fleet, 21 submarines specially divided into 15 submarines, they are in the direction of the fleet escape, unfortunately, only 8 are in the front, the remaining 7, they are in a farther position, the angle is not very good.

Without too much preparation, there was no adjustment and the like, at the critical moment, each captain used his own experience to fight, the first 8 ships, directly the remaining 3 torpedoes, and the second wave of 6 torpedoes, all of them were shot out, 72 torpedoes, completely blocked the possibility of this small fleet to escape, and next to it, 7 submarines also issued 63 torpedoes at the same time, which is equivalent to the remaining torpedoes of 15 submarines at once, and all the torpedoes were emptied at the first time.

In the square inch of land, 135 torpedoes, filled the radius of less than a kilometer, this density is quite amazing, in the light patrol sonar, at least more than 100 sonar edges were heard at once, at this time, he could not know that this was a torpedo, because of the ship, it is impossible to appear so many ships in a short period of time.

But another question arises, they already know that it was a submarine that attacked them, but what they know is that the submarine may send out 4 torpedoes at a time, could it be that there are more than 30 submarines before them, plus the submarines that were sent before to encircle and suppress their fleet, I am afraid that there are not 60 or 70 submarines, not that the German submarine force, under the blow of their sonar, has suffered great losses, why are there so many?

Even if there are some doubts in his heart, but the British rear admiral did not expect that it is the fleet of other countries, after all, in the whole world, except for the Entente, except for Germany, there is no country that is better at ships, although China has joined the war, but he is more in the army, the navy, or a weak child.

The cruelest thing in the world is probably to know that there are a large number of torpedoes coming, but do not know where the torpedoes are, their position, direction, and even the speed of movement.

At this time, outside the four ships, the torpedo is approaching, the waterline of the flying torpedo, because of the use of electric power, is not particularly obvious, on the battleship, it is difficult to see, but he is not stealth, it depends on where to look, at this time, the reconnaissance plane has descended into the sky above the battle, especially the location of this patrol, from the air, you can still see the shallow waterline, more than a hundred shallow waterlines, almost filling this space, even Herbert, couldn't help but feel a sense of agitation, in his intuition, these two ships were loaded, I'm afraid they had to be explained here.

From the air, numerous waterlines could be seen, but below, due to the waves, the waterlines were not at all inconspicuous, and a large number of torpedoes, rushing towards 4 battleships, did not realize it at all.

Herbert's heart rejoiced. These four warships that have escaped from the ship, two Minotau cruisers with a displacement of 15,000 tons, it is finally impossible to escape, which is better news for Germany than submarines, of course, this further enhances the strength of submarines, Herbert has made up his mind, after this return, he will definitely promote the import of China's Qin-class submarines.

The battleship that has been engrossed in escaping, and carefully observing the surrounding situation, still has a little gain, even if it is a stealth torpedo, it is impossible to have no traces at all, at a distance of 200 meters, they found a torpedo, countless sirens, sounded on the top of the patrol, 15,000 tons of large warships, using more than 1,000 people, but at this moment, can be used, very few, they desperately see, at least 10 more waterlines, is rapidly approaching them, All the surrounding dodge areas were covered, and no matter which direction he dodged, it was impossible for him to escape the torpedo's attack.

To be able to go to the post of loading patrol, whether it is a low-level officer or a sailor, they are extremely experienced, they know very well that at this time, at a distance of less than 200 meters, under the premise of being locked by more than 15 torpedoes from all directions, they have only one result, that is, destruction, before the power of the torpedo, has fallen into their eyes, maybe the installation patrol to bear one torpedo, this is no problem, two are about the same, but more? In the current situation, there may be at least 5 or more, and in this sense, the pretending patrol is dead.

The first sailor with a life jacket, another section shot from the torpedo, jumped off the battleship, and then, like a chain reaction, the sailors on the deck, almost without any hesitation, jumped off the battleship one after another, and they couldn't even notify the sailors inside, the speed of 65 knots, 1 kilometer, about 36 seconds, then 200 meters, at most seven or eight seconds, when these sailors jumped out of the cabin and were struggling to swim into the distance, the torpedo hit.

This time, a kilometer away, the final hit rate of the torpedoes launched was not as high as before, more than 100 torpedoes finally hit 21, but for the fleet of only four ships, this was enough to kill, 21 of them, 13 hit two loads, although one 7, one 6, the skin itself is thick and fleshy loading, in the face of the strength of China's torpedoes, even dreadnoughts need to pay attention, not to mention the armor of the loading, compared to the former dreadnoughts, it is still a grade worse, not to mention dreadnoughts, 4 torpedoes, as long as they are at key points, it is really enough for the British to eat.

The torpedo exploded, countless parts of the ship, were flown into the blue sky, the two ships were patrolled, and without achieving any results, they lost all power, one circled in place, and the other simply suffered heavy damage and began to sink.

Of the 21 torpedoes, 13 hit the mounted cruisers, and the remaining 8 hit the light cruisers, and the two old-fashioned light cruisers were even more severely hit, they were directly hit in the vital parts, and at this moment, they had begun to sink.

Most of the escort fleet has been killed, but there are only 7 submarines responsible for dealing with the merchant ships in the fleet, at this moment, the merchant ships already know that the danger has come, the faster they run, the better, only the faster they leave this sea area, they can escape.

It's just that the speed of the merchant ships is limited, they split into different directions, and they fled frantically, but unfortunately it backfired, the submarine was faster than them, and when they didn't know it, they chased them in front of them and fired torpedoes.

The fight below was in full swing, but above, in Herbert's eyes, it was exciting for him. When he saw that the four battleships were about to flee, he was also worried that in the current ship group, compared with any other warship, it was not as high as this ship, so he let them run away, but the sudden submarine blocked in front of them and fired torpedoes at them, at this time, none of the ships of the Entente countries, according to the danger of falling, I am afraid that at this moment, countless torpedoes are approaching, everything is solved, and the 18 escort convoys have been killed, He could even send a report to the Berlin side, which had solved all the problems, and the previous war report from the Chinese side should be accurate.

Herbert's memory is excellent, he even remembered the battle report reported yesterday, it was 31 submarines, divided into 4 parts, attacking different ship groups, but these ship groups, the maximum protection is only a few destroyers, and now, 12 destroyers, 4 light cruisers, 2 mounted cruisers can not be compared, with the attack power of the submarines he saw, maybe in the first time, it may be possible to kill the escort fleet, so with the strong attack power of the Qin class, those merchant ships will not be able to run at all.

Sometimes, the truth seems unbelievable, but after understanding his true strength, it can be known that this real thing is easier to calculate, and after careful consideration, he began to prepare a battle report to the Admiralty, and added a lot of affirmative tones.

How much impact this envelope will have on Berlin, Germany, on the German Admiralty, not to mention for the time being, at this moment, the following has become a Shura field for the British, when these sailors on the side of the ship, after jumping from the ship into the water, these ships lost their last chance to rescue, they kept moving forward, without the report of the deck soldiers, they did not change, just rushed to the torpedo.

The 2 ships were the most seriously injured, although they have not capsized, but they have lost their combat effectiveness, and the 2 light cruisers are even more miserable, and they began to sink directly, and this one temporarily joined the shelling formation of the ship regiment, which is equivalent to being essentially killed, and the ship regiment has lost all its protection, which is equivalent to a delicacy, which is displayed in front of everyone, and what awaits the submarine will be a rare feast.
