Chapter seven hundred and ninety first submarine in action

The Japanese combined fleet was in a panic, and there was no organization at this moment. They were divided into different directions and wanted to escape from the range covered by the ship gun, but how could they run away so quickly? The maximum range of the 15-inch naval gun is too far.

The others looked at everything in front of him in a daze. This was probably something he had never thought before he came. With the opponent's fortress being so powerful, the caliber of those artillery fire, why did he never know this news? The others in the mountain house had more or less estimated that this was a large caliber naval gun. Germany, Britain and the United States, as a few countries that could develop large caliber naval guns, it is possible to place large caliber naval guns here. There will be no more of this thing in any army. No one would spare the luxury of setting these brand new, more than 15-inch large caliber naval guns on the roadbed turret. Is it someone who leaked it?

The others in the mountain house quickly rejected this idea. This time, the headquarters only gave a general attack method. The route of landing was not decided by the base camp. But after he arrived in Qingdao, he chose casually based on the map. In theory, it should not leak, but it leaked and gave a devastating blow to the Joint Fleet.

At this time, the Yamaya no longer had the spirit of being so energetic that he had just arrived. The combined fleet he carried was the essence of the Japanese Navy. The five main battleships, many patrol patrols and some new cruisers and destroyers were spent on countless wealth of the navy to accumulate. It is important that every one of them is precious. If one sinks, he may have to go to the military court. If he sinks a few more, he might have to cut his stomach. At this moment, the Yamaya has no other idea and pulls the fleet out and cannot be in this dangerous place.

The tragic situation of Japan also surprised the British and French navies. They were already behind, so of course they retreated as fast as possible. In fact, land-based turrets could attack them, and they were also in the encirclement. According to the requirements of the Northwest, it is not suitable to attack Britain and France for the time being. Even if they can completely encircle them, they did not attack them and watched them withdraw.

The British and French warships that left in a hurry would not know that they had saved their lives, and the closer they were to the Japanese warships on Qingdao were in trouble. After several large warships were attacked, they lost their speed and turned into fish on the chopping board, the artillery fire began to continue to extend, falling onto other small boats. For large warships, one shot may not necessarily destroy a warship, but for small boats, one shot, one shot will be two halves, either severely damaged or bytes sunk.

From its current position, it takes 25 kilometers to exit. The Japanese warships that are moving forward at full speed also take more than an hour. The more they continue, the more casualties are increasing. As for the current situation, if Britain and France do not take the initiative, the combined fleet is over.

Underwater, 36 submarines were monitoring the war. Whether it was the relay from Japan or the command center to surround them, they were all anxious. According to the plan, they could not attack casually unless the land-based turret was not accessible, but they watched the fat slip away from their mouths, which was something that everyone didn't want to see.

Radio waves shuttled through a radius of more than ten nautical miles, and began to communicate with each other in the channels unique to the submarine force.

The commander of the submarine fleet is Fang Wenshan. He was once the captain of the destroyer and one of the few young naval officers who had studied abroad and were the captains. When studying abroad, he had contact with submarines. Through selection and training, he became the current commander of the submarine force.

The submarine force, which can be said to be the first Chinese navy to form, has been trained for more than half a year and is well aware of the power of the submarines in their hands. If they had not followed the orders, they had at least 10 chances to sink those main ships. These are all results. For submarines that dominate the attack, the tonnage of the sinking is a hard indicator to assess the strength of the submarine.

However, the naval gun is still firing. According to his understanding of land-based naval guns, he can continue his eyes to at least 40 kilometers. Under the premise of marking the shooting of various elements, this 15-inch cannon has absolute lethality within a range of 40 kilometers.

"Boss, you can't wait any longer. Otherwise, we can't do it in vain if we split up some attacks. We must achieve some results before we talk about it!"

"No!" Fang Wenshan refused flatly. The discipline in the northwest was almost engraved into his bones. At this time, a rash attack may be dangerous. After all, torpedoes at this time must be hit at a relatively close position. The land-based turrets that are constantly fired are mainly range attacks, and there may be some losses. In that case, the results of the battle will be brilliant and this consequence must be borne.

"Boss, we can not attack these warships, we can attack others!"

"What else?"

"Those troop ships!"

"Yes, those troop transport ships were full of Japanese soldiers. They sank a ship, and the results achieved were greater than those of warships!"

After receiving the tips from his subordinates, Fang Wenshan then remembered that he was really missing something. He followed the joint fleet and arrived in Qingdao. If the army was the weakest, when transporting on the train or transporting on the ship, as long as they attacked the train and ship, these troops would die, especially the latter, the sea was ruthless, and the army had a few understanding of water. In the vast sea, the troops were sunk, and the soldiers on the ship would directly capsize into the sea to feed the turtle. Logically speaking, the combat fleet and the troop transport ship should be separated. I don’t know if it was Japan too arrogant or too confident. The troop transport ship actually came with the warship, which was to be separated when it arrived outside Qingdao.

"This!" Fang Wenshan pondered for a moment. Attacking the troop transport ship was also one of the targets. Moreover, land-based artillery could not be attacked. These combined fleets had already been trapped in artillery fire. It seemed that they could be killed without the submarine's attack. With his decisive order, he left half of the warships and continued to surround them, preparing to get a bargain. The other 18 submarines went to another aspect to attack the troop transport ship.

The troops ships that were supposed to follow the pace of the warships and rushed up to land on the beach, but they watched the warships fall into artillery fire in amazement. Fortunately, they were separated from the seas and land-based artillery fire was temporarily unavailable, and they were temporarily safe. However, what to do next was different. Some of the army believed that the joint fleet had been hit by the artillery, and it was when they should take action. The army had to land and then encircled the artillery from the flanks. As long as the artillery was taken, the entire Qingdao would be vulnerable.

Unlike the Army's idea, the Navy put forward different views. The losses of the joint fleet were basically a foregone conclusion. Several largest warships could not escape. The Germans in Qingdao were prepared too well. This was a trap and could not be trapped in again. They had to preserve their strength.

The two sides argued endlessly, and in the end, the Navy convinced him that no matter what, he would first land the beach first. Otherwise, the Navy suffered a great loss and the Army took a day cruise on a boat for a day. This is not what they wanted to see. The current location would definitely not work. Choosing another direction and going to the place controlled by the naval gun is completely seeking death. The warships and fortresses are always at a loss under the same caliber situation. At this time, the army would attack, it should be easy to take it down. No one dared to rush directly to the front of the fierce battle battlefield, where there was no death, so they began to look for a place to land from more than ten kilometers next to them.

In this case, as long as the army of these three divisions landed and deployed, they could directly attack the turret. Although they did not see clearly what was on those turrets, they looked like a mountain of earth. Even if the turret was set up, they were set up temporarily. It was probably just a long-range naval gun. The protection of the army's infiltration should not be very strong.

Dozens of troop transport ships, the eight warships that escorted around them, were not aware that the god of death had already enveloped them. 18 advanced submarines, at a high speed of 14 knots, surrounded them from underwater and followed the trajectory, and may be about 2 kilometers away from the coast to intercept them.

It took 18 submarines more than half an hour to catch up with this batch of troop transport ships, more than 50 warships of different sizes, filled with almost 80,000 soldiers, and an average of more than 1,000 people on each ship, almost filling the ships. Most of the warships were on the side of the Combined Fleet, and there were only 8 warships escorted here. These were the focus of their attacks. As long as they were sunk them, the remaining troop transport ships could almost be ignored.

After a simple exchange, eight of the 18 submarines selected their targets separately. In itself, the anti-submarines of this era are not the focus. Moreover, the submarines in the northwest have stronger combat effectiveness, and the engine and sound absorption settings have reached the extreme, and are easily covered by some underwater noises. When the roars set off in the joint fleet, they have made many attempts, and have recently been almost 700 meters away from the joint fleet.

Of course, it was at night, so there was no need to take such a risk at this time. Just launch it at a more confident position. Soon the submarine approached the range of the warships about 1.5 kilometers. Those warships still did not notice it. The bold submarine continued to approach, and to about 1 kilometer, they fired 6 torpedoes in succession at them.

Eight ships, each three are a fan, in two batches in a row, almost covering this area. After launching, the fish quickly reached a speed of about 40 knots and rushed towards the warship. The snow-white wave traces were not very obvious in the waves, but when they got close, they were still discovered by Japanese combat ships. The warships responsible for the escort were immediately in chaos. (To be continued.)
