Therefore, the torpedo launch speeds of modern submarines are not the same, and the actual attack capabilities of some poorly designed submarines have to be discounted.
The actual combat effectiveness of those so-called subsequent modified submarines that can use torpedo tubes to launch cruise missiles and whether the ammunition reserves are sufficient are actually question marks.
Of course, whether the modification is good is another matter. After all, this type of submarine is now in active service in various countries. What is inside needs to be kept secret, and it is impossible to truly show it.
Tang's submarines naturally used the drawings provided by Tang Mo, and were naturally the best in design. With the help of semi-automatic auxiliary loading equipment, six torpedoes were loaded and waiting to be launched.
"Fire two salvos! Give them a surprise!" When the sonar soldier reported that the destroyer Thunderbolt had actually missed their location and rushed to the other side of the sea like a headless fly, Tang Guo's captain ordered.
The sound of launching a torpedo will probably reveal their location, but it doesn't matter, the torpedo will hit the opponent first.
Ever since, the torpedo launch tube was opened, the compressed air pushed out the torpedo, bubbles rolled in the sea water, and the sonar crew of the Thunderbolt also heard the whisper from the god of death.
"There's noise! Behind us!" The sonar soldier of the Lions Empire shouted excitedly because he discovered the target.
"Turn! Turn now!" The captain of the Thunderbolt, who learned the target coordinates, immediately ordered excitedly. According to his experience, the opponent is still unable to launch torpedoes!
A submarine with all its torpedoes fired is a lamb to be slaughtered. No matter how sharp its teeth are, a beast that cannot open its mouth is no threat.
Everyone in the bridge of the Thunderbolt was very excited. They felt that they had won the victory. The cunning opponent had revealed a flaw, and they finally had the opportunity!
Just as they turned, the torpedo had already risen to the set depth and began to rush towards the side of the Thunderbolt.
Because the distance was closer, the two white tracks were just revealed, and the lookout sailors on the destroyer Thunder discovered them.
He widened his eyes and loudly reminded the people at his feet, pointing at the two white tracks and shouting: "Torpedo! Torpedo! There is a torpedo over there!"
In the bridge of the Thunderbolt, which was turning at full speed, the captain and first officer of the Thunderbolt followed the shouts of the sailors and saw the two white tracks very close at hand.
Everything was too late, because the distance was too close. The captain of the Thunderbolt was frightened at this time. He simply did not understand why the Tang Navy's submarine torpedo reloading speed was so fast.
Of course, if he communicates with the dead Wang Luo, John Cleeves and others, he will know that in this war, past experience does not seem to be very useful.
A few seconds later, the first torpedo directly hit the middle of the destroyer Thunderbolt, and the second torpedo exploded under the bridge, directly blowing the entire destroyer into two pieces.
The Thunderbolt sank rapidly and disappeared on the sea before even having time to send any message. At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Stickleback submarine were still floating on the oily sea.
The belatedly arrived destroyer Heavy Rain did not dare to leave the protected transport fleet, and could only watch helplessly as the friendly forces on the two destroyers soaked in the water.
To be honest, the captain of the Lions Empire on the Heavy Rain was really scared. He was really afraid that his ship would also be sunk here and be buried with the two destroyers.
At the same moment, another large transport fleet was also attacked by Tang Army submarines. This fleet was not so lucky. They encountered two Tang Army submarines.
In just a few minutes, six transport ships were sunk, countless supplies fell into the sea, and a large amount of weapons and equipment sank to the bottom of the sea with the ships.
The Lions Imperial Navy fleet was in complete disarray. They didn't even understand why they were being attacked and who was attacking them...
The main fleet of the Lions Empire Navy, which had already figured out the situation, was confused by a bunch of true or false information in their hands at this moment.
Bloemeyer looked at the report in his hand with confusion, and did not speak for a long time: They took off 50 carrier-based aircraft and flew to the sea area about 120 kilometers directly in front of them. As a result, they could not find any Tang Army warships there.
.
More than 50 carrier-based aircraft have been searching, and even flew to the sea 200 kilometers away, but they still have not been able to find a target that can be attacked.
They ran out of fuel and had to return, and the second attack prepared by the Lions Imperial Navy aircraft carrier group had to be cancelled.
The fully fueled carrier-based aircraft must make way for the landing position of the first batch of returning attack aircraft, so they must return to the hangar to standby.
Yes, almost like the combined fleet, the carrier-based aircraft with bombs and torpedoes hung and filled with fuel was stuffed back into the hangar...
For the anti-ship missiles of the Tang Empire, these aircraft were simply time bombs. They would explode and burn, and could easily become amplifiers for anti-ship missiles, destroying the entire aircraft carrier.
"How is it possible that the enemy's fleet was not found? Their fleet should be right here!" A somewhat panicked Bloemeyer stared at the chart and was already at a loss.
There was no way, what he was sure of, what he believed in, had collapsed just now. Under such circumstances, it was amazing that he didn't go crazy immediately.
Another officer who relied on his own common sense and experience to dispatch and command, fell into a downtime state because his own experience and common sense were subverted.
"General! What should we do now?" Lions I frowned and asked his general with a pale face. He was here to supervise the battle, and in terms of command level, he was not as good as Blommel.
He still doesn't know that the transport fleet behind him has been attacked by a submarine and suffered heavy losses. Otherwise, his condition at this moment would be ten times worse.
"The opponent's fleet cannot disappear out of thin air... They must have used some method that we don't know about to avoid the search of our carrier-based aircraft!" Blommel insisted.
They don't have any radars back to normal yet, and their radios can only barely maintain a short range. The entire fleet is in chaos now, and they need time to regain their composure.
"No matter what, we have to recover the first batch of carrier-based aircraft first! Your Majesty, things may not go as smoothly as we imagined." The Commander-in-Chief of the Lanes Empire Navy told Lane worriedly.
Si I said.
