Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Before the main force of the Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet went to sea to face the British and American navies, nine submarines of the Chinese Navy's submarine force went to sea.  However, the speed of the submarine is too slow, and at the same time, it must be wary of the light cruisers and destroyers of the British and American navies cruising on the sea.  Therefore, it was not until the afternoon that these submarines arrived at the battlefield.

    After arriving at the battlefield, all the submarines dived underwater, secretly waiting for the opportunity.  Because the battleship formations on both sides have been sailing at high speed, there are not many opportunities for submarines.  All nine submarines have also dispersed. Whether they can catch the fighter planes depends on their own luck.

    When the battleships of the British and American navies besieged the battlecruiser USS Mengtian, this was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for the submarine force hiding underwater.  However, some submarines are too far away and cannot be reached.  The 'Shark Class' submarine can only cruise at 7 knots underwater and has a range of only 50 nautical miles.  Therefore, you must wait patiently for the opportunity.

    The No. 202 submarine commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Wu Hailong undoubtedly had better luck.  When they raised the periscope from the water again, they found the USS Connecticut battleship just 1,800 meters ahead and to their left, sailing at a speed of 18 knots.

    Lieutenant Colonel Wu Hailong immediately ordered the torpedo tubes to be filled with water. One minute later, two torpedoes rushed towards the battleship USS Connecticut at a high speed of thirty knots.  And, one minute after the first two torpedoes were launched, the other two torpedoes once again rushed towards the Connecticut in a fan shape.  After launching the torpedo, submarine No. 202 immediately dived underwater and fled the battlefield.  Regardless of whether it can hit the target, the submarine must evacuate. In a naval battle, preserving yourself is the most important thing.

    At this time, after discovering the incoming torpedo, the battleship Connecticut suddenly became a mess.  They had just participated in the battle to siege the battlecruiser 'Mengtian' and sent the battlecruiser to the bottom of the sea, achieving the first result of this naval battle.  Before I could be happy, I was targeted by a submarine of the Chinese Navy.

    "Full right rudder, sail at full speed!" The navigation chief of the battleship USS Connecticut gave the order with sweating profusely.  The huge submarine USS Connecticut began to turn rapidly on the sea.  The officers and soldiers on the battleship all clung to the surrounding supports to avoid being thrown into the sea by the high-speed turning battleship.  However, it is very difficult for a huge battleship to turn quickly on the sea!  For the Connecticut to successfully turn, it would take at least two minutes to aim the bow of the ship at the incoming torpedo.  The torpedo that strikes at high speed only takes more than a minute.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" All the secondary guns on the port side of the battleship Connecticut opened fire, hoping to destroy the incoming torpedoes.  But it is very difficult to destroy a torpedo that is sprinting at high speed and underwater at the same time.  Such a probability is almost infinitely close to zero!

    At this moment, the lookout warned again.  On the left front of the Connecticut, two torpedoes once again appeared.  The number of torpedoes rushing towards the battleship USS Connecticut has become four.  However, the two torpedoes at the back are still relatively far apart. As long as the battleship Connecticut can dodge the two torpedoes in the front, it can easily dodge the two torpedoes in the back.

    The battleship USS Connecticut had pretty good luck.  A torpedo almost grazed the stern of the battleship "Connecticut" and almost hit the battleship "Connecticut".  The second torpedo, due to a problem with its depth, actually passed directly under the bow of the battleship Connecticut, allowing the battleship Connecticut to escape the disaster.

    "Long live! Long live!" After safely escaping the attack of two torpedoes, the US Navy officers and soldiers on the battleship USS Connecticut cheered one after another. Everyone had a feeling of surviving after a disaster.  The battleship USS Connecticut, which had already completed its turn, easily dodged the other two torpedoes.  However, when the battleship USS Connecticut escaped the torpedo attack from the submarine, their battle line formation was completely messed up.

    "What are those Americans doing again? We need to unite now to fight the Chinese!" Edward?  Admiral Simo said very dissatisfied.  Now, of the British Navy's battleships, only the Bulwark can continue to fight.  There are only four battleships left in the U.S. Navy.  The Chinese Navy also has four battleships and two battlecruisers.  Whether in terms of numbers or combat power, the Chinese navy is no longer at a disadvantage.  Only by seizing the time and sending the two battlecruisers of the Chinese Navy to the bottom of the sea can the British and American navies possibly win the naval battle.

    At this time, U.S. Admiral Benson was wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. The battleship USS Connecticut was almost severely damaged.  Once hit hard, it is not that easy to return to the United States safely.

    "General, do we want to continue fighting?" At this time, a staff officer asked.

    Admiral Benson was about to answer, but he didn't know how to speak.  The Chinese submarines have already appeared on the battlefield. If you are not careful, you will be sunk by the Chinese submarines.  Two battleships of the U.S. Navy have been severely damaged. It is difficult to say whether those two battleships can escape.  If the fighting continues, the U.S. Navy may also suffer heavy losses.

    "General, two of our battleships have been severely damaged. If the battle continues, our losses will be more serious. The Chinese have only lost one battlecruiser so far, and we no longer have the upper hand.  This war has nothing to do with us, the United States, and there is absolutely no need for us to get involved!" the staff officer suggested.

    "But, we promised the British!" General Benson said unwillingly.  He wanted to avenge his teacher Ma Han, but now he found that this revenge seemed not easy to avenge!

    "General, the British have already given us what we want. Besides, we have also participated in the battle. The current situation is very unfavorable to us. If we withdraw from the battlefield, the British have no reason to blame us!" Staff Officer  suggested.

    Starting from the interests of the United States, it is undoubtedly a very correct choice to withdraw from the battlefield now and retain its strength.  However, Admiral Benson was still hesitant.  Although, the British and American navies no longer have the upper hand.  But if we work hard, we may still have a chance to defeat the Chinese Navy.  Once it gives up, the British Navy, which has only one battleship left that can still fight, will undoubtedly lose.

    The No. 201 submarine of the Chinese Navy is personally commanded by Brigadier General Su Leping.  However, they are far away from the central battlefield.  When they raised the periscope, they discovered that the battlefield was to their east and they were to the west of the battlefield.

    But that doesn¡¯t mean they don¡¯t have a chance.  Atforty-five in the afternoon, a huge battleship appeared in the periscope of submarine No. 201.  This battleship is sailing westward at a speed of only 12 knots.  This battleship was the American battleship USS Louisiana that was severely damaged before the battlecruiser USS Mengtian was sunk.  After suffering heavy damage, the battleship Louisiana left the battlefield and prepared to retreat westward.  Unexpectedly, it was sent to the Chinese submarine ambushing underwater.

    ¡°Turn left 15 degrees and approach the target at a speed of 5 knots!¡± Brigadier General Su Leping ordered.  At this moment, the battleship USS Louisiana is northeast of Submarine No. 201.  Submarine No. 201 needs to get closer to the Louisiana before it can have a chance to take action!

    At 4:08 pm, Submarine No. 201 was only 1,500 meters away from the battleship Louisiana.  The battleship USS Louisiana, protected by two destroyers, did not realize that the crisis was over!

    "Torpedoes, launch!" Brigadier General Su Leping gave the order to attack.  After two slight muffled sounds, the two torpedoes rushed towards the battleship Louisiana at high speed.

    "Prepare torpedoes, it happens again!" A minute later, two torpedoes rushed out of the torpedo tube of Submarine No. 201 again.  After launching the torpedo, submarine No. 201 immediately dived urgently and prepared to escape from here.

    It was only at this time that the battleship Louisiana discovered the incoming torpedo.

    "Two torpedoes! 500 meters away! Avoid!"

    The distance of 500 meters only takes 30 seconds for a heavy-duty torpedo traveling at high speed.  With a speed of only 12 knots, the battleship Louisiana had no way to escape.  However, the 'Louisiana' still began to evade, turning quickly on the sea like a wounded bison.

    But, all this is in vain.  The first torpedo did not hit the battleship Louisiana.  However, the second torpedo hit the "Louisiana" amidships.  The heavy torpedo easily destroyed the underwater armor of the Louisiana, and the turbulent water poured into the battleship.

    A minute later, two other torpedoes hit the USS Louisiana one after another.  The battleship 'Louisian', which was hit by three heavy torpedoes, was sentenced to death and sank to the bottom of the sea in less than two minutes.

    "General! The 'Louisiana' was sunk by a Chinese submarine!" After Admiral Benson on the battleship 'Connecticut' received the news that the 'Louisiana' was sunk, everyone was stunned.  stunned.

    Two minutes later, Admiral Benson issued an order: "All American warships, retreat westward immediately!" (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, novels are better.)(newer and faster!)
