Three or four years have passed since Fengjun started to possess its first submarine. During this period, the submarine force has been unknown. Even shallow-water gunboats can make the news, but there is no news at all about submarines. Many people have not heard of it.
Not sure if China actually has submarines.
Under this strict confidentiality, Fengjun's underwater muscles have swelled. Especially after World War I, Germany exported a large amount of military technology to Fengjun, including a full set of U-boat technologies.
Germany purchased shipyard equipment and secured a number of supporting factories in the United States, Britain and other countries.
With these as support, coupled with the ingenuity of countless Chinese workers, Fengjun produced a total of two classes of submarines, all of which were put into actual combat.
The codename of the first-class submarine is Yasha. The Yasha submarine has a surface displacement of only 254 tons and an underwater displacement of 303 tons. It has a surface speed of 13 knots and an underwater speed of 6.9 knots. It has an endurance of 1,600 nautical miles. It is equipped with three 533 mm torpedo launch tubes and carries five
1 torpedo and 12 mines.
There is no doubt that the design positioning of the Yasha submarine is that of a near-shore submarine, and its main areas of responsibility are the Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea areas. Fengjun has successively built twelve of them, and there are four more lying on the slipway, which will be completed soon.
The small and flexible Yasha submarine, just like its name, is a loyal sea guard and patrolling Yasha. A submarine of two to three hundred tons is extremely difficult to detect in the turbid water of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. Once it is targeted, the consequences will be
It is a very serious, even fatal, risk.
The codename of the second-class submarine is Sea Wolf. The tonnage of this class of submarine has been greatly increased. The surface displacement has reached 769 tons, the underwater displacement has reached 871 tons, the endurance has reached 8,500 nautical miles, and it has five torpedo launch tubes.
Carrying 14 torpedoes.
During the development process of the Seawolf-class submarine, some German experts joined in. They learned from the experience of German submarines in World War I. Four watertight compartments were added, which greatly improved the survivability of the submarine.
With an endurance of more than 8,000 nautical miles, the Seawolf-class submarine is fully capable of long-sea combat. It can even go out of the Pacific Ocean, cut off the Japanese sea lifeline, and trap this small island country on four narrow islands.
Of course, it is not easy to achieve this. Dozens, or even hundreds, of submarines are needed, but now Fengjun has only produced three Seawolf-class submarines, and there are two more on the slipway.
Ever since the Mackensen entered the South China Sea and passed through the Taiwan Strait, two Seawolf-class submarines have been quietly tracking and protecting it underwater. It can be said that Zhang Tinglan also spent a lot of money to allow the Mackensen to return to Fengtian safely.
The commander of the Langyi submarine is Chen Shaokuan. Although he was born in the Fujian navy, he can't stand the factionalism in the navy. Especially since he also participated in the Paris Peace Conference, he knows that this is a world of the jungle, and there is no powerful force.
The navy will only end up being bullied and divided.
After returning to China, Fengjun was looking for military talents everywhere, and naturally he found Chen Shaokuan. He had not originally wanted to join Fengjun. After all, in his view, the navy was a high-tech branch that must be built with strong national support.
On the basis of following a local power, development will eventually be limited.
But after arriving in Fengtian, he was impressed by the industrial capabilities of the three northeastern provinces. Especially after visiting the Huludao Shipyard, he made up his mind to join the Fengjun group. Chen Shaokuan first spent more than half a year on the Yasha-class submarine
, familiar with submarine operations.
Because of his outstanding performance, Chen Shaokuan was appointed as the captain by Zhang Tinglan when the Seawolf-class boat No. 1 was launched. After taking office, Chen Shaokuan also devoted all his efforts to training, and every sailor had to undergo strict combat assessment. And
He also hired some German submarine sailors and humbly learned from them their experience in naval warfare.
Just when Chen Shaokuan and others were concentrating on strengthening their troops, the Mackensen finally returned to China, and they were also ordered to come to greet the Mackensen.
Along the way, when they were about to enter the Bohai Sea, the Japanese fleet suddenly appeared and intercepted the Mackensen, and even wanted to take it captive to Japan. Through the periscope, Chen Shaokuan could see clearly that the Japanese were so arrogant
It was so excessive that it completely angered all the soldiers on the submarine.
They repeatedly asked for a battle, but Chen Shaokuan did not agree. He knew very well that his mission was to protect the Mackensen and return to the country safely, rather than engage in a naval battle with the Japanese. Even if he could sink the King Kong, the nearby Qingdao Port, Lushun
There are Japanese fleets in every port.
As long as the fighting here continues, the Japanese will immediately send a powerful fleet to intercept the Mackensen. So Chen Shaokuan must wait until night falls, when the Japanese are at their lowest vigilance. And he knows that Fengjun has already
Submarines have been dispatched to conduct night mine operations at Port Arthur.
As long as it succeeds, the Japanese warships will not be able to get out for a while, and the Mackensen can quickly return to the three northeastern provinces with its own speed, and truly return to Fengjun's hands safely.
Therefore, he had to wait. Not only him, but also the Wolf II submarine. The two wolves in the sea were staring at the Japanese warships, looking for fighting opportunities.
Gradually the clock pointed to ten o'clock in the evening. Chen Shaokuan felt that it was almost time. At this time, the Japanese spread the news. When Lushun had a reaction, it would not be until the early morning. This period of time was enough for the Fengjun submarine to seal the port.
.
Calculating the time, Chen Shaokuan quietly ordered the submarine to surface, and through the periscope, locked the largest battleship King Kong. Due to the drag of the Mackensen, the speed of the King Kong was also very slow, and two more battleships were separated.
Dragging the Mackensen, there is also a lack of defense forces around it, and it is at the most vulnerable time to attack.
Chen Shaokuan locked onto this huge warship. At this moment, all the soldiers on the submarine seemed to be holding their breath. On the first day of every enlisted sailor's enlistment, they would go to the Beiyang Navy Memorial Hall to pay their respects and look at Deng Shichang.
, the relics of Liu Buchan and others, listening to the stories of veterans who had personally experienced that naval battle.
The shouts of "Sink Yoshino!" rang in their ears. In a daze, Chen Shaokuan and the others seemed to feel that the hot-blooded heroic spirits on this sea more than 20 years ago had come again to see their descendants with their own eyes.
How to avenge shame!
"emission!"
Chen Shaokuan squeezed out these two words through his teeth, and immediately three torpedoes were fired at the King Kong. Chen Shaokuan and the others did not have time to see the results of their battle. After firing the torpedoes, they hurriedly sneaked in
in water.
At this time, the Japanese were sending another small boat to check the situation on the Mackensen. Just as they were talking and laughing without paying attention, three waves shot up from the sea.
Seeing this scene, the Japanese sailors felt as if they had been struck by lightning, and their whole bodies instantly became cold.
"The enemy is attacking, dodge quickly!"
Most of the Japanese sailors did not know what happened. Even the captain Kametaro Muta was confused, but when he noticed the torpedo traces in the sea, it was already too late.
Among the three torpedoes, except for one that missed the bow of the ship, the other two all hit the middle of the King Kong. The violent explosion sound was like the roar of a dragon. The two violent explosions knocked the King Kong even to the ground.
It was pushed above the water, and then fell heavily again.
Even a big guy with more than 30,000 tons could not withstand this setback. Two three-meter-large black holes on the starboard side appeared in front of everyone. Seawater quickly poured in along these two holes. In an instant, the King Kong
A rollover occurred.
And with the sound of steel breaking, the wounds of the King Kong became bigger and bigger. The sailors on the deck could not bear the fluctuation. They fell into the sea like dumplings. The cold sea water made them lose their strength in an instant.
Having exhausted all his physical strength, he could only struggle desperately.
At this time, there was another violent explosion inside the King Kong. A ball of fire shot up from the middle and exploded the deck. Mushroom-shaped black smoke appeared in the air. The hull passed through this explosion.
, has inevitably begun to break, split into two pieces, and quickly sank into the sea water.
In less than five minutes from the time it was hit, the Kongo completely sank into the sea. The surrounding warships had no time to rescue them. Most of the people on the ship, including Kametaro Muta, sank with the ship.
Into the bottom of the sea.
Battleships have always been famous for their heavy armor and strong defensive capabilities. However, Japan's Kongo is a tragedy. The warships built by the British do not pay attention to defense. Moreover, this Kongo is experimental in nature and is not mature at all.
Except for the commendable speed of our products, other performance cannot compare with the world's advanced level.
Of course, this is also related to the attack of torpedoes. If a warship is hit by a few shells, it will not be a big deal, but if it is hit by a torpedo, it will at least be broken. The reason is very simple, that is, sea water cannot flow into the air.
With the same compression, after the torpedo explodes, the energy will pass through the sea water and be transmitted to the warship.
The water pressure will multiply the explosion effect, and what is even more unlucky about the King Kong is that the ammunition chamber was hit and a serious explosion occurred from the inside. As a result, this behemoth could no longer hold on and sank quickly.
After reaching the bottom of the sea, everyone on the boat also fed the tortoise.
Historically, the King Kong was the only Japanese battleship sunk by a submarine during World War II. At this time, the King Kong just advanced history by more than 20 years, and it was China that sank this big ship.
people.
Since the formation of the Japanese Combined Fleet, it has defeated the Beiyang Navy and the Russian Pacific Fleet. In two consecutive battles, not one of Japan's main battleships was sunk. This can be called a miracle, but this miracle has finally come to an end.
With the sinking of the Kongo, the halo that shrouded the Japanese combined fleet was finally extinguished.
When the Japanese soldiers on the remaining warships saw the blazing King Kong, they were all stunned. How could such a huge sea castle sink just like that? They couldn't believe it!
"It's a submarine, a Chinese submarine, smash these despicable guys!" The slightly more sober Japanese gave the order angrily. But these Japanese people had no idea where the submarine had gone. They were like headless flies.
At this time, a periscope has been aimed at a warship again. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users
