July 26, 1920, 5:12 AM
The sky was still dark.
The Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea were at the border, 130 kilometers away from China's Weihai City, 230 kilometers away from the city of Dalian, and 140 kilometers away from Chaoxian Changyuan Prefecture.
The coalition fleet of the superpowers was gradually approaching this position. The captains of the various countries on the flagship were already tired of arguing. Under the mediation of the coalition captain David, they temporarily put aside their dispute and drank again.
The party lasted from the evening to the early morning of the next day. They were either discussing how to divide the post-war benefits or bragging about how many women they had slept with. As for how to fight, they did not mention a word.
"Captain, the enemy fleet has entered our encirclement. It is estimated that they will leave the encirclement in fifteen minutes.”
80 meters underwater, Chen Muyang, who was sitting in the command room, listened to his deputy's report. He walked to the front of the sonar radar unhurriedly and immediately gave the order.
"Immediately charge the six torpedoes. The first four, the second, and the first four torpedoes are aimed at the battleship 450 meters to the left. The target of the two torpedoes was the heavy cruiser 600 meters behind them!”
"Captain, the elements have been locked. The torpedoes are fully charged.”
Chen Muyang narrowed his eyes.”
"Boom…"
More than ten seconds later, four torpedoes fired from the front of the submarine hit a Japanese Fuso-class battleship.
The huge battleship that was built before World War I was instantly blasted by four torpedoes, and a large amount of seawater poured into the cabin through the cracks.
In just one minute, the 205-meter-long, 28-meter-wide, 30,000-ton ship sank into the cold sea.
Because the silence was too fast, the crew did not have the time to jump off the ship and escape. Even the thousands of elite navy members on the ship also slept here forever, becoming nutrients for aquatic creatures.
This was perhaps the only praiseworthy thing these thousand Japanese had done in their lives.
The fleet dispatched by the Japanese had the Longgate as its flagship. The captain was not present at the moment, and the vice-captain, Yi Xinshan, rushed out as soon as he heard the continuous explosions.
"Baka, what's going on?”
"How did the pride of the empire sink?”
Standing on the deck, Yi Xinshan was dumbfounded when he saw the Fusang disappear from his sight. He could not help but stomp his feet and roar.
He tried his best to open his eyes and size up the sea, but he found nothing.
Of course, he saw a cruiser that belonged to Itari. At this moment, the body of the cruiser was severely damaged, and it was on the verge of collapse.
"Baka Yalu, Baka Yalu!"
" Submarines! The Chinese have submarines!"
Soon, Yi Xinshan understood something and broke out in cold sweat.
He wasn't the only one who understood, and he wasn't the only one who broke out in cold sweat.
The fear hidden in the dark was the most fatal!
Everyone in the fleet confirmed a terrifying fact: "There's a submarine in the water."
"Everyone, don't panic. Tell the fleet to spread out and sail at full speed. With China's backward industrial capabilities, they must have bought their submarines. Believe me, they definitely can't afford too many submarines.”
The captain of the Combined Fleet, David, was also shocked at first, but he calmed down almost instantly.
How many submarines could China afford?
With the speed of the submarine underwater, who could it catch up to? Float up and chase? If they dared to show their heads, they would fire the 381mm cannons.
" Put down the sonar and check the Chinese submarine. Damn barbarians, they only know how to sneak attack. After discovering the Chinese submarine, don't ask for permission to fire at will," Mienzo, the deputy captain of the joint fleet, also began to order."Have the destroyer spread out to search."
Mienzo stared at the huge fleet and smiled scornfully.""Ignorant Huaxians, you want to turn the tables with a few broken submarines? Weren't the German submarines a hundred times more powerful than yours? As expected of a fool!"
However, when Mienzo looked at the sea, his contemptuous smile quickly froze and turned into fear.
" F * ck, f * ck, torpedoes, torpedoes, so many torpedoes…"
"F * ck…It's over, it's over!"
"I don't want to die. Mommy, save me!”
"Baka, the Empire's soldiers are not afraid of death!”
"Almighty God, your believers don't want to serve you now. Please give me more time to prepare.”
"F * ck Sun Never Sets."
Torpedoes, densely packed, there was nowhere to hide. Torpedoes were everywhere. They swore that they had never seen so many torpedoes at once in their lives.
Looking at the torpedoes that were so close to them, everyone in the alliance fleet, from the captain to the private soldiers, was scared silly.
"Damn the Congress. F * ck, they sent me here to die.”
"There's a ghost, I saw a ghost in the sea, he wants to eat me!”
"Save, save, save…"
Some of them were talking incoherently, and some soldiers who couldn't stand the pressure jumped into the sea.
"Boom…"
"Boom…"
As one of the torpedoes hit the target ship's water line and exploded, more torpedoes hit the target ship in just a few seconds.
Explosions resounded through the clouds, and flames shot into the sky.
A British Empire heavy cruiser struggled on the surface of the sea for less than three minutes under the tremendous power of two 533mm torpedoes before sinking to the bottom of the sea. A few crew members jumped into the sea to escape.
A beautiful American South Caroline class battleship was also unable to struggle for more than three minutes under the combined attack of four to five torpedoes.
Under the siege of three to four torpedoes, a Francois Liberty class battleship only lasted for less than a minute before sinking.
Even the middle part of the French flag that they had just raised was swallowed by the sea.
These battleships used to be proud of their indestructible armor, but under the torpedoes of the submarine, it became a joke.
As everyone knew, submarines were the nemesis of all surface submarines, not because of how powerful the weapons they carried were. In fact, even a few 533mm torpedoes combined were not enough to break through the armor of a battleship. However, the armor of a battleship was above the waterline, and the armor below the waterline was pitifully weak.
The purpose of the attack was to attack the enemy's weak points. In addition to the power of the torpedoes in the sea, the 1,800-ton submarine attacked the battleship. Once it was within a thousand meters, it could be described as an elder brother fighting a younger brother.
Of course, the premise was that you could get within a kilometer of the battleship. This was because the small shark submarine was twenty years more advanced than the underwater detection equipment of the current countries, so it could easily approach the fleet of the great powers.
Otherwise, if they were discovered at the periphery, just the dozens of destroyer could wipe out the entire Little Shark submarine fleet.
Compared to a destroyer, a submarine's underwater speed was too slow. There was no way it could escape.
The first wave of torpedoes had all exploded, sinking and damaging one-fifth of the alliance fleet's warships. Don't think that it was a small number. After all, there were more than a hundred warships in the alliance fleet this time.
But this was not the end.
