Chapter 647: The Second Battle of Dadonggou (1)

When this huge Taiwanese fleet sailed mightily to the Yellow Sea in the north, they found that the combined fleet of the Japanese and Americans had arrived. They have been waiting here for a long time, and this decisive battle is a decisive battle between the two sides to decide the sea power in the Yellow Sea, so everyone does not dare to slack off. The other side has a total of seven battleships, and the number of battleships disclosed by the Taiwan side is fifteen, but the number of battleships that have not yet been disclosed is five, that is, sword-class battleships. But next, Taiwan's killer feature is not these things, but mainly those things under the sea.

"How prepared are the submarine forces?" Qiu Baoren, chief of staff of the Navy, asked.

"Captain Hao has ordered those submarines to be ready for battle and ready to attack the enemy at any time. About seven or eight kilometers ahead, that is, the enemy's fleet, and now the enemy should have seen us. What should we do? โ€

"Order the submarines to carry out the established battle plan as soon as possible, and then we must give the Japanese and the Americans a blow to the head this time. This time, the first blow is arguably our most important tool, and if we can succeed, this time it will definitely increase our chances of winning. Qiu Baoren said.

And above the flagships of the Japanese and American navies, the commander of the combined fleet of Japan and the United States, Yuhiro Ito, looked at the Taiwanese battleship in the distance, and then immediately frowned.

"Didn't you say that there were only fifteen battleships in Taiwan? Why do they have five more ships now? Ito asked.

"Your Excellency, we don't know what's going on. Maybe this is also the killer weapon that the Taiwanese are secretly preparing in secret. Said Ito's aide-de-camp.

Ito immediately frowned, it was obvious that this naval battle was not as simple as he imagined. In particular, how the enemy had five more battleships surprised him. Because if there are five more warships, then I am afraid that the next will inevitably bring great variables. This is not a plan in the Japanese Navy's calculations, so Ito Yuheng is also a little waxy.

But. Just as those Japanese troops were observing Taiwan's battleships, they never expected that there were people staring at them under the sea.

"Captain Hao, our submarine has already reached the bottom of the Japanese warship, and it is only five hundred meters away from the Japanese warship."

Captain Hao of the submarine detachment heard this, then gritted his teeth and said: "We continue to get closer, and we are close to within three hundred meters." Our torpedoes are not very accurate. It's easy to miss, so it's important to get close to them to make sure you can hit accurately. We have to make sure that we hit, and once we fail in the first battle, it will be difficult to hit the next. Our submarine is also an assassin on the bottom of the sea, and the assassin often only has one chance to make a move, and once he misses the opportunity to make a move, then I am afraid that the assassin will never have a chance to make a move. โ€

"But, Captain Hao. If we get too close to them, will they find us? The submarine's staff officer said cautiously.

But Captain Hao said viciously: "As the saying goes, the bold are killed, the cowardly are starved, if we can't even get close, then we are really going to be this submariner in vain." So, we're going to have to show them how we undersea assassins kill the enemy this time. Anyway, those Japanese didn't think that we would have such a thing as a submarine, they simply didn't have a so-called sonar to detect us. So we went straight closer. There may be some engine noise, but they may just be the currents of the ordinary ocean. It doesn't look like there's a real ship sailing underwater. โ€

Soon, more than a dozen submarines again advanced to a distance of about three hundred meters from the Japanese battleships. And at this distance, even those submariners did not dare to gasp, because they were afraid that their panting would attract the attention of the enemy above. However, this is just their own inner thoughts, in fact, the sound of the submarine engine completely suppressed their panting, the sound of the submarine engine is still very loud, if you are not careful, I am afraid that it will be discovered by the enemy. However, at present, these Japanese have not invented any sonar systems at all. So they never imagined that there would be enemy submarines on the bottom of the sea. Since ancient times, it has been the existing spear that has a shield, and if there is no spear, the shield will lose its meaning of existence. Therefore, it is necessary to invent offensive weapons first, and then relevant defensive weapons and defensive methods will be invented, and even be able to counter-restrain the enemy.

Sonar equipment is a kind of equipment for detecting submarines that was developed only after the development of submarines, and at present, only Taiwan has a so-called submarine. In this way, it is impossible for them to have the so-called anti-submarine warfare. In this way, they did not think of inventing sonar at all, so that even if the sound of the submarine engine was very loud, the navies of those countries could not imagine that there would be a sneak attack here under the sea.

"All submarines, aimed at the target, then the target is the third target of the enemy. All submarines fired torpedoes from different angles, and the first attack was carried out to destroy the No. 3 target! Captain Hao said.

"Yes!"

More than a dozen submarines raised their periscopes and began to aim at that number three target. This No. 3 target is a 10,000-ton battleship, which is a classic among the former senseless ships. This should be designed and built according to the design ideas of the British Sovereign-class battleship, because this Sovereign-class battleship is already an open secret in the world under Wang Guorui's upside-down. The design ideas and even specific design drawings of the Sovereign-class battleship have long been circulated around the world, and the Japanese can naturally get the design drawings of this Sovereign-class battleship, and then after their own transformation and processing, it has become their own unique design. Now this No. 3 target, one of the Japanese battleships, is very large and looks very combative. If you can take the opportunity to get rid of him in the first round of sneak attacks, this will definitely be of great benefit to the rest of the battle.

"Ready!"

"The torpedo chamber is filled with water!"

"Water filled, ready to launch!"

"Poofโ€”"

More than 20 torpedoes suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea, and then they were fired at the same target in unison. However, it has to be said that the torpedoes of this era are too ineffective, not to mention slow, and the huge wake wave is enough for the enemy to discover the traces of this torpedo.

"Your Excellency Commander, there are enemy torpedoes!"

When Ito saw this scene, he immediately wondered, "How can there be a torpedo?" โ€

"No matter how much it is, order all the battleships and take care to dodge the torpedoes." Yuhen Ito said.

Although Ito did not know where the torpedoes came from, he ordered the battleship to avoid the torpedoes according to his general thinking. Because torpedoes are not difficult to dodge, torpedoes of this era are very low-tech, slow and very noticeable. It takes two or three minutes for a torpedo to be launched to hit, which is not much faster than the speed of a human trot. Even some destroyers that run fast can completely throw off torpedoes at their own speed, which is the pitfall of torpedoes in this era.

However, these Japanese people could not have imagined it.

"Oh no, more than twenty torpedoes are headed for our battleship Xiangshan!"

"What? All towards one goal? Damn, what's going on with them? How did these torpedoes come about? Did it come out of the shark's mouth? Ito said angrily.

However, those huge battleships are still constantly adjusting their bodies, but the huge battleship bodies have a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, where is it so easy to turn around. This battleship, which is listed as the third target, is obviously also a very large battleship, and it is very inconvenient to adjust the body. And the more than twenty torpedoes on the opposite side were fired from different directions, ensuring that they always had a torpedo that could hit. As long as one torpedo hits, the battleship will be hanging. From this era until after World War II, torpedoes were a very effective weapon, with an extremely high charge, much higher than many anti-ship missiles, and one torpedo was enough to sink a battleship. Because of this, many countries in later generations were unable to equip aircraft carriers, and they all chose submarines as a method of countering aircraft carriers. For a long time, China has also vigorously developed submarines to counter enemy aircraft carriers.

"Hurry up and dodge!" The captain of the battleship Xiangshan immediately shouted.

"Captain, no, more than twenty torpedoes are coming towards us, at least twelve torpedoes are expected to be able to possibly us, what should we do? We can't hide from it! โ€

"Damn, is it possible that our battleship Xiangshan is going to be silent without firing a single shell?" The captain of the battleship Xiangshan said angrily.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Two torpedoes hit this battleship Xiangshan, while the other torpedoes did not hit and were missed. However, this 10 percent hit rate is already very high in this era of torpedoes, and you can't expect too much. However, even if only two torpedoes hit, it would be very fatal, and there was no way to save the battleship Xiangshan, and there was no value in saving. Countless seawater came out of the torpedoed hole of the Xiangshan

No matter how much the damage management personnel try to fix it, it is useless. The battleship Xiangshan began to sink at a very rapid speed, and as the captain he was very experienced, he immediately began to order the sailors to escape in the escape boat behind him as soon as he was hit by a torpedo.
