Red Alert 1895

Chapter 647: The 2nd Dadonggou Naval Battle (1)

When this huge Taiwanese fleet headed for Dadonggou in the Yellow Sea in the north, they found that the combined fleet of Japanese and Americans had arrived. They have been waiting here for a long time. This decisive battle is a decisive battle between the two sides to determine the dominance of the Yellow Sea, so everyone dare not slack off. The opponent has a total of seven battleships, and the Taiwan side has disclosed 15 battleships, but the number of battleships that has not been disclosed is five, which are the sword-class battleships. But next, Taiwan's trump card is not these things, but mainly those things on the bottom of the sea.

"How is the preparation of the submarine force?" Qiu Baoren, chief of staff of the Navy, asked.

"Captain Hao has ordered those submarines to prepare for battle and launch an attack on the enemy at any time. The enemy's fleet is about seven or eight kilometers ahead. The enemy should have seen us by now. What should we do?"

"Order the submarine to execute as soon as possible in accordance with the established combat plan, and then we must give the Japanese pirates and the Americans a head-on blow this time. This time, the head-on blow can be said to be our most important means. If we can succeed, we will definitely be able to give it to us this time." It greatly increases the odds of winning," Qiu Baoren said.

On the flagships of the Japanese and American navies, the commander of the combined Japanese and American fleet, Yuhiro Ito, looked at the Taiwanese battleship in the distance, and immediately frowned.

"Didn't you say that Taiwan only has fifteen battleships? Why do they have five more now?" Ito Yuheng asked.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we don't know what's going on. Maybe this is the trump card that the Taiwanese are secretly preparing." Ito Yuheng's adjutant said.

Ito Yuheng immediately frowned, obviously this naval battle was not as simple as he imagined. Especially how the enemy had five more battleships, this situation surprised him too. Because if there are five more warships, then I am afraid that there will inevitably be a lot of changes in the future. This is not the plan in the Japanese Navy's calculations, so Yuheng Ito is also a little bit waxy.

but. When the Japanese troops were observing the battleships in Taiwan, they never expected that there were people staring at them under the sea.

"Captain Hao, our submarine has already arrived under the Japanese warship. It is only 500 meters away from the Japanese warship."

Captain Hao of the Submarine Detachment heard this, and then gritted his teeth and said: "We will continue to approach. We will approach within 300 meters. Our torpedoes are not very accurate, and they are easy to miss, so we must get close to them. Only in this way can we guarantee It can hit accurately. We must guarantee the hit. Once the first battle fails, it will be difficult to hit the next one. Our submarine is an assassin on the bottom of the sea. Assassins often only have one chance to make a shot. Once they miss the shot Opportunity. Then I am afraid that this assassin will never have another chance to make a move."

"However, Captain Hao, if we get too close to them, will they find us?" the submarine's staff officer said carefully.

However, Captain Hao said viciously: "As the saying goes, the brave are starved to death, and the timid are starved to death. If we can't even get close to this, then we really have to be submarine soldiers for nothing. Therefore, we This time, we must let them see how we undersea assassins kill the enemy. Anyway, those Japanese never thought that we would have such things as submarines. They don’t have so-called sonar to detect us. So let’s get closer. Although There may be a certain amount of engine noise, but they may just be regarded as ordinary ocean currents, and they will not be regarded as real ships sailing underwater."

soon. More than a dozen submarines advanced again to a distance of about 300 meters from the Japanese battleship. And at this distance, the submarine soldiers did not dare to take a breath, because they were afraid that their panting would attract the attention of the enemies above. But this is just their own inner thoughts. In fact, the sound of the submarine engine completely suppressed their panting sound. The sound of the submarine engine is still very loud. If they are not careful, they may be discovered by the enemy. But at present, these Japanese have not invented any sonar system at all, so they never thought that there would be enemy submarines on the bottom of the sea. Since ancient times, only the existing spears have shields. If there is no spear, the shield will lose the meaning of existence. Therefore, offensive weapons must be invented first, and then related defensive weapons and defense methods will be invented, and they can even counter-restrain the enemy.

Sonar equipment is a kind of equipment for detecting submarines that was developed after the development of submarines. At present, only Taiwan has so-called submarines, so it is impossible for them to have so-called anti-submarine warfare. This made them never even think about inventing sonar. In this way, even if the sound of the submarine engine is very loud, the navies of those countries can't imagine that there will be people sneaking here under the sea.

"All submarines. Aim at the target, and then the target is the enemy's No. 3 target. All submarines launch torpedoes from different directions and angles, and strive to be able to attack in the first round and destroy this No. 3 target!" said Captain Hao.

"Yes!"

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

"Prepare!"

"Fill the torpedo tank with water!"

"The water injection is complete, ready to launch!"

"puff-"

More than 20 torpedoes suddenly appeared on the sea, and they were launched towards the same target in unison. But I have to say that the torpedoes of this era are too weak, not to mention the slow speed, and the huge wake is enough for the enemy to find the trace of this torpedo.

"Your Excellency, there are enemy torpedoes!"

Seeing this scene, Ito Yuheng immediately wondered: "Why are there torpedoes?"

"It doesn't matter that much, order all warships to avoid torpedoes." Ito Yuheng said.

Although Ito Yuheng didn't know where these torpedoes came from, he ordered the battleship to avoid the torpedoes according to the general thinking. Because torpedoes are actually not difficult to dodge, the torpedoes of this era have low technical content, slow speed and are very obvious. It takes a full two to three minutes for a torpedo to hit from launch, which is not much faster than the trotting speed of humans. Even some fast-running destroyers can completely throw off torpedoes with their own speed. This is the pitfall of torpedoes in this era.

However, these Japanese couldn't think of it at all.

"It's bad, more than 20 torpedoes are all heading towards our battleship Xiangshan!"

"What? Are they all aiming at one target? Damn, what happened to them? How did these torpedoes come from? Did they spit out from the shark's mouth?" Ito Yuheng said angrily.

However, those huge battleships are still constantly adjusting their bodies, but the bodies of huge battleships have a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, so it is so easy to adjust their bodies. The battleship listed as the third target is obviously also a very large battleship, and it is very inconvenient to adjust its body. On the opposite side, more than 20 torpedoes were launched from different directions, ensuring that one of their torpedoes would always hit. As long as one torpedo hits, the battleship will be suspended. From this era to after World War II, torpedoes have been very effective weapons with extremely high charges, much higher than many anti-ship missiles. One torpedo is 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 way to counter aircraft carriers. China has also been vigorously developing submarines for a long time to counter enemy aircraft carriers.

"Hurry up and dodge!" The captain of the battleship Xiangshan shouted immediately~lightnovelpub.net~ Captain, it's bad, more than twenty torpedoes are coming towards us, at least twelve torpedoes are expected Can it be possible for us, what do we do? We can't escape it! "

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

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Two torpedoes hit the battleship Xiangshan, while none of the other torpedoes hit and were shot empty. However, this 10% hit rate is already very high for torpedoes in this era, so you can't expect too much. However, even if only two torpedoes hit, it would be very fatal. There is no way to save the Xiangshan battleship, and it is not worth saving. Countless seawater flows from the torpedoed hole of the Fragrant Hills

Influx, no matter how those damage control personnel tried to repair it, it was useless. The battleship Xiangshan began to sink at a very fast speed, and as the captain, he was still very experienced. Immediately after he was hit by a torpedo, he immediately ordered the sailors to take the escape boat behind to escape quickly. (To be continued.)
