When the torpedo boat force of the Gakuin Army first appeared in Yanagimoto Yasaku's field of vision, although the little Japanese was surprised by its number and thought that the officials of the naval intelligence department were negligent in their duties, the Gakuin Army actually developed such a large torpedo boat force. He didn't notice it and was a little angry, but he didn't feel that a disaster was imminent. Then, when the speed of the Swordfish-type high-speed torpedo boat was fully aroused, the little devil couldn't help but have an unpleasant feeling in his heart. However, because the torpedo boat is not a modern battleship. Even being called an auxiliary ship was a bit reluctant. He was still lucky. He felt that the concentrated artillery fire of more than thirty warships in the mixed fleet should be able to effectively block it and prevent it from entering the range. At that time, the little devil What worries them most are the flying fortresses and medium bombers that surround the fleet.
As time went by, after a torpedo boat broke through the Nabeshima Department's fire blockade, the little Japanese panicked, and just when he was about to concentrate his strength on an intensive attack to annihilate these torpedo boats that broke through the blockade one by one, the Xuebing However, the submarine force of the Japanese army showed up and launched an attack. In terms of deterrence, submarines are naturally more threatening than torpedo boats. Therefore, Yanagimoto had to order each ship to strengthen anti-submarine warfare, and at the same time, he placed his hope on the transport fleet, hoping to use their sacrifices. In exchange for the safety of three aircraft carriers,
The performance of the transport fleet was quite satisfactory at the beginning. However, as more torpedo boats on the Xuebing Army gained effective range and more submarines surfaced, the transport fleet was intimidated. Originally, it was okay to be timid, as long as they did not Inserting between the three aircraft carriers, even if they run away, they can interfere with the enemy and even help attract some torpedoes. What makes Yanagimoto furious is that they not only squeezed into the sea between Soryu and Ryūjo, And a collision actually occurred, which directly caused chaos in the formation of the entire fleet, which invisibly provided more opportunities for the enemy.
In order to facilitate the command, Xu Kai had already let S-002 surface at this time. S-002 was not equipped with anti-submarine torpedoes, and because two of them had been used, he was not in a hurry to capture the fighter plane, but concentrated on command. His men moved into the best position to obtain excellent fighter planes. Xu Kai acted so boldly because the three Japanese aircraft carriers had not been able to release bombers and anti-submarine aircraft.
Under his command, a group of four Ming-class and Song-class submarines surfaced, often attacking a Japanese ship from four directions at the same time, becoming a veritable wolf pack at sea.
At this time, the Japanese ships were busy building a blockade to prevent the torpedo boats from approaching. Instead, they could not organize firepower to intensively shoot at the enemy submarines that surfaced and drop depth bombs. At a distance of one or two kilometers, those floating submarines were The Ming level in the middle is not afraid of this at all,
"Launch." A series of orders sounded in the command channel of the submarine force, and then often four, five or even more water lines were connected between the Xuebingjun submarine and the target Japanese ship. No matter how the target Japanese ship maneuvered, there was always one The two torpedoes will hit the target and explode violently. As a result, they will either be directly sunk or lose their maneuverability. Regardless of the ones that are directly sunk, those that have lost their maneuverability will immediately become targets, so one or two more water lines will They linked up with one or two Ming-class or Song-class submarines, and then saw a group of Japanese screaming and jumping from the target Japanese ship into the sea, and then there were one or two earth-shaking explosions, in a miserable scene. Amid Japanese shouts, the target Japanese ship sank into the blue water dragging thick smoke...
This kind of scene does not happen very frequently, but considering that the target ship basically cannot escape the fate of sinking and killing people, the Japanese on the merchant ships are particularly frightened. It is no wonder that they rush to control the ship. Hidden among the three aircraft carriers,
The cadet submariners still have too little actual combat experience. Of course, this is actually a common problem among all branches of the cadet navy. After all, the cadet submarine has only been established for six years. If Degu was here, he would When you can point out a lot of mistakes, you can also avoid some necessary losses. If Ouyang Yun were here, the first thing he would see would definitely not be the low-level mistakes made by the students, but the bravery of the students.
yes, brave,
If a young navy wants to grow up, it must pay tuition. Ouyang Yun has a clear understanding of this, so he reached an agreement with the American Skull and Bones Society for several heavy cruisers and destroyers, and sold out the most popular military training at that time. Profitable medical patents also allowed Qi Minghao to lead a swarm of swordfish to sneak attack Soma Masamon's landing fleet in the Taiwan Strait when the navy was founded. Xue Changkong, Xu Kai and Huang Tianxun did not know that when they led the While the troops were fighting bloody battles with the Japanese troops in the sea and sky of Green Island, their commander-in-chief was placing real-time military flags in his office in Karachi based on the data provided by Guangzhou.
Half an hour into the war, the Xuebing Army had already lost four submarines and more than 20 torpedo boats, four submarines, three Ming-class ships and one Song-class ship.
"One Song-class ship was lost." Ouyang Yun glanced at the telegram from Xin Bao's hand, muttered in a deep voice, and took out one Song-class ship and three Ming-class ships from the sand table.
"Call back and ask them to compile the information in more detail." He added, then he held his chin and quietly examined the battlefield on the sand table.
There is no one on the battlefield dedicated to collecting intelligence, so the real-time battle losses can only be counted and reported by the officers around Xue Changkong, Xu Kai and Huang Tianxun.
Leaving aside the Air Force, the battle loss of 17 to 26 seems not ideal based on the performance of the Baiji Dolphin. However, considering that Xue Changkong and the others successfully contained the Japanese aviation force, they eliminated the air threat to the Swordfish Group and the submarine force. , this means a lot,
Ouyang Yun didn't know that among the four sunk submarines, the Song-class and the Ming-class were damaged, they rushed towards the Japanese warships regardless of their own safety. As a result, they attracted more intensive Japanese warships' artillery fire. Among the ships that were severely damaged and sunk, the Song-class ship was hit by too many shells at the same time. As a result, the hull was completely blown to pieces. In the end, none of the cadets inside were left intact.
The self-destructive actions of the two submarines were of great practical significance. The Japanese ships concentrated their artillery fire on them, which resulted in the already thin blockade fire line becoming even more sparse, so more Swordfish took the opportunity to break in. Go in...
The current Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, Admiral King, once said that naval warfare does not only require soldiers to dare to fight to the death. However, he forgot that bravery has always been one of the indispensable and precious qualities of soldiers. As long as it is a war, no matter it is In the sky, on the ground or at sea, the courage of officers and soldiers to fight may not directly determine the outcome of a battle, but the party that dares not fight will definitely be in a passive situation, and may even lose the advantages given by non-human factors such as weapons.
