Chapter 648: The Second Battle of Dadonggou (2)

The captain of the Japanese battleship Kayama soon ordered the sailors to evacuate quickly, and then their sailors began to evacuate in small boats. The Japanese were glad that the two torpedoes did not directly hit the ammunition depot or the power room of the steam turbine, otherwise it would have been a problem if it had caused an internal explosion. If an internal explosion is caused, the consequence is that the captain has no time to give the order to abandon ship, and as a result, the soldiers are all very killed, and even lose the most effective chance to escape, causing a large number of casualties. If the ammunition depot was not hit, and there was simply a hole, then the captain decisively ordered to abandon the ship, and the casualties of the sailors could be reduced a lot. Even if the damage pipe is more powerful, it can be abandoned while draining the water, and the last surviving soldiers can even reach more than 90%. Of course, this is to exclude those who were killed by shells.

For the Japanese Navy, they don't have the bushido spirit of the Army, and as a navy, they don't have too many so-called ideas of martyrdom, they uphold the thinking of leaving the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood. Killing a navy is more expensive than dying an army, and it costs much more to train a navy than an army. Therefore, when the warship is about to sink, the navies of various countries often allow the naval sailors to abandon the ship, rather than letting them sink to the bottom of the sea with the warship.

"Captain, aren't you leaving?" The Japanese sailor asked.

The captain smiled wryly and said, "Everyone else can go, but I must live and die with the warship." ”

Some countries have a strange rule, that is, when a warship is attacked and sunk by the enemy, other sailors can also escape in a small boat, but the captain must sink with the warship. So this Japanese captain obviously did not plan to leave, and had to sink with the warship.

When the Xiangshan sank, Ito Yuhiro watched this scene and immediately became angry.

"Damn. Where did these torpedoes come from? Actually blew up and sank our battleship Xiangshan? Ito asked.

The Kayama battleship is Japan's newest battleship, and it is completely made by the Japanese to imitate the British Monarch-class battleships, and each one is very valuable. But there was no real battle yet, and the result was the loss of one, which meant a loss of more than a million pounds, and this loss made the Japanese feel Alexander. And the loss is so worthless. The battle hasn't officially started yet, and there are so many losses, which makes Ito Yuhyung really have a toothache. This battleship Xiangshan sank without firing a single shell, which is too worthless.

"General, I saw just now that those torpedoes seem to have been fired from under the surface of the sea? That is, at a distance of 300 meters, the enemy's torpedoes were fired from about 300 meters. A Japanese observer said.

Ito looked three hundred meters away with a telescope, but found no enemies. He was still a little confused at first, but he suddenly thought of someone.

"Immediately ordered, so the ship's guns fired three hundred meters away!" Yuhen Ito said.

"Yes!"

The Japanese immediately began to adjust the position of the battleship's guns. Then began to shoot three hundred meters away. This is only a distance of 300 meters, which is very close for naval guns, because their battleship guns often shoot and engage at a distance of thousands of meters, and 300 meters is just a child. So those Japanese battleships immediately began to adjust, and soon began to open fire. Even these shells are aimed directly, and there is no need to do any calculations at all to calculate the trajectory and wind direction are all going back.

"Boom ......"

The sound of naval guns firing suddenly exploded on the surface of the sea. And the submarines below the surface of the sea are not very comfortable, because the air waves set off by these shells are obviously very huge. Let them, these submarines with a relatively light "volume", can't stand it.

"Ahh

The submariners in those submarines were confused by the waves and rapids, and the huge shaking of the submarines made them look like a Lantern Festival for a holiday. Rocking around, hitting walls everywhere inside the submarine. Although the charge of this battleship's shell is small, it is not something that an ordinary submarine with a very light tonnage can withstand. Even a single wave of the sea made these submarines sway.

"Everyone calm down, don't mess around, and go back to their respective posts. Float up immediately. Then a quick retreat! Captain Hao immediately ordered and shouted.

As an undersea assassin, what they have to do is to retreat as soon as possible after a single blow, whether it succeeds or fails. The enemy is not stupid, and they very well drew a conclusion from the place where these torpedoes were launched. That is, the enemy has submarines under the surface of the sea and makes a sneak attack on them. And at this time, the battleship's shells hit down directly, if these submarines didn't dare to run away, would they have to wait for the shells to blow up? It has to be said that submarine frontal combat is not an opponent of battleships at all, and one shell of a battleship is enough to blow up ten submarines.

It's like an assassin can only kill with one blow when the enemy's fierce general is negligent, if once he strikes, whether it is a success or a failure, he must go. Because you are definitely not the opponent of a fierce general in a head-on battle, especially when the opponent is not just a fierce general, then the main thing is to run away quickly, rather than staying here and fighting with the enemy.

The sailors in the submarine began to try their best to return to their posts, and then very quickly drained the water from the submarine, and then injected air, and the submarine floated up like a balloon. However, after the submarine surfaced, it was bound to be discovered by the enemy, and the Japanese immediately discovered a group of unknown things three hundred meters away.

"Your Excellency Commander, about three hundred meters away, there are some things that look like long droplets, I don't know what they are." The Japanese lookout shouted.

"Beat me, beat me hard, beat these vile and shameless villains to death. It is unreasonable that they should not fight us head-on, and use such despicable and shameless means to sneak attack. Beat me, let these people who have no samurai spirit sink me! Ito shouted.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

All kinds of Japanese naval guns fired in the direction of the submarine, and then the submarine continued to float upward, adjusting its direction while floating, hoping to retreat and run away as soon as possible.

"Hurry up, it's a lot faster after the float, and then we'll run away as soon as possible!" Captain Hao shouted.

The reason why Captain Hao chose to float is actually for a reason, because the diesel engine in this era is insufficient, coupled with the design ideas of the submarine, which has caused a characteristic of the submarine. Submarines travel several times faster on the surface than they do in the water. This is a feature of submarines before World War II, which were faster on the surface and slower on the water. But after World War II, it was faster in the water, and slower on the water.

However, the current diesel engine is not very good, so it cannot make them reach the bottom faster. So if you want to run, it's actually better to run on the water. As for being easily exposed on the water, this is a real problem. However, after the previous drills of the submarine detachment, they profoundly realized that in the face of the battleship's naval guns, the defense capability of any submarine is vulnerable. If you hide in the water, you can move very slowly, and it is easy for the enemy to fire more naval guns. If it was in the water, it would travel five or six times slower, which would mean that it would have to withstand five or six times more fire from the enemy's guns.

It is not necessarily safe to be in the water, which is not conducive to the enemy's aiming, but it is not necessarily necessary to shoot accurately when dealing with submarines. As long as the shot is nearby, the water pressure caused by the explosion of the shell is strong enough to tear the submarine's already thick armor, so that a large amount of seawater will inevitably pour in, and the wind direction will be stronger at that time.

If it is on the water, the water pressure of the shell explosion is shared a lot and dispersed a lot, so the pressure received by the submarine is not so great. Coupled with the fact that the speed on the surface of the water is several times faster, they are able to withstand a lot less enemy shells in a relative time distance. In addition, the hit rate of shells in this era is very bad, and God bless it can be ten percent, so this risk is still worth the risk. After many drills, the success rate and loss probability of escaping on the surface of the water are much smaller than escaping underwater.

Of course, if anyone is directly or indirectly hit by the enemy's naval guns, only the one who can be blamed for their own lives. Where are there any undead people on the battlefield, so if you are hit, you can only consider yourself unlucky, and I can't help you anymore.

However, Taiwan's huge fleet in the distance also noticed the difficulties encountered by the submarines, and Qiu Baoren, the chief of staff of the Navy as the commander, also began to give orders.

"Order, the strategic fleet pressed me up, and then the submarine retreated, and looked for an opportunity to annihilate one of the enemy's battleships. It is better to cut off one of the enemy's ten fingers than to injure them, and if we concentrate our firepower, we can completely sink one of their battleships. While they are not familiar with our sword-class battleships, play the role of our sword-class battleships as soon as possible, and then hit them hard. Qiu Baoren said.

"Yes!" The strategic fleet as a whole rushed forward and was responsible for receiving the retreat of the submarines, and the Japanese saw this strategic fleet for the first time, and they were not familiar with the sword-class battleships, so they still felt a little strange when they looked at this sword-class battleship, and obviously felt that the ships of this strategic fleet were different from other battleships.
