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, even the Gakuin Army had not developed such a large torpedo boat force.
He was a little indignant because he didn't notice it, but he didn't feel like a catastrophe was imminent. After the flight, when the speed of the Swordfish-type high 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 and felt that the artillery fire assembled by the mixed fleet of more than 30 warships should be able to effectively block it and prevent it from entering the range. At that time, the little devil
What worries me the most is the flying fortresses and bombers that surround the fleet.
As time went by, after a torpedo boat broke through the fire blockade of the Nabeshima Department, the little Japanese panicked. And just when he was preparing to gather his strength to carry out an intensive attack and annihilate these torpedo boats that broke through the blockade one by one, 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 placed hope on the transport fleet, hoping to use their sacrifices
In exchange for the safety of the three aircraft carriers.
The performance of the transport fleet was quite normal 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 Ryujo,
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 the 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, Ming-class and Song-class submarines surfaced in groups of four, 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 establishing a blockade to prevent the torpedo boats from approaching. Instead, they could not organize firepower to intensively shoot at the enemy submarines that surfaced. Are they going to drop depth bombs? A distance of one or two kilometers away, those floating on the surface of the submarine
Even though he is a member of the Ming Dynasty, he 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 there will be one or two water lines to catch them.
Linked up with one or two Ming-class or Song-class submarines, and then saw a group of Japanese soldiers jumping into the sea from the target Japanese ship with screams, and then there were one or two earth-shaking explosions, in the miserable day.
With a shout, 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
If you can point out a lot of mistakes, you can also avoid some necessary losses. And if Ouyang Yun were here, the first thing he would see would definitely not be the stupid 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. That's why 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 the time.
Profitable medical patents also allowed Qi Minghao to lead a swarm of swordfish to sneak attack Xiang Ma Zheng'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 waters and skies of Green Island, their commander-in-chief was placing real-time military flags in his office in Karachi based on data provided by Guangzhou.
Half an hour into the battle, the Xuebing Army had already lost four submarines and more than 20 torpedo boats. Four submarines, three Ming-class and one Song-class.
"Loss of a Song-class ship -" Ouyang Yun glanced at the telegram from Xin Bao's hand, muttered in a deep voice, and took out a 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 held his chin and quietly examined the battlefield on the sand table.
There was no one on the battlefield dedicated to collecting intelligence, so the real-time battle losses could 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 for the Swordfish Group and the submarine force.
, this is of great significance.
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 even more intensive Japanese warships' artillery fire.
The Song-class ship was severely damaged and sank. Because it was hit by too many shells at the same time, the hull was completely blown to pieces. In the end, none of the cadets inside were left intact——
The self-destructive actions of these two submarines were of great practical significance. The Japanese ships bombarded them with artillery fire. As a result, the line of fire that was not a tight blockade became even thinner, 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. But 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.
