The ship was hit by five 533mm heavy torpedoes in a row. Even the thick-skinned Longgate could not withstand it.
Especially when one of the torpedoes hit the bottom of the ship.
Although it did not break the dragon bone, it did distort it.
A large amount of seawater poured into the cabin, as if it wanted to fill the entire warship.
Less than a minute after the explosion, the huge battleship began to tilt.
Thick smoke rose from the bottom of the cabin, and the engine room was hit by a torpedoes, causing the battleship to stop.
A large number of personnel and marines ran around frantically.
"Close the hatch, quickly help close the hatch.”
Looking at the seawater that was crazily swarming towards them, even if there were still struggling marines in it.
They also closed the cabin door with a bang.
However, for the Longgate, closing the water-tight compartment was no longer enough to save its fate.
After falling to the ground, Senior Lieutenant Erlang shook his dizzy head and shouted at the top of his lungs,""There are submarines. Immediately get all the ships to approach me and carry out anti-submarine warfare. They are in the waters near the starboard side.”
He then shouted at the vice-captain beside him,""Immediately organize the rescue team.”
Even though he did not know how many torpedoes had hit the warship.
However, he could tell that the situation was not optimistic based on the speed at which it was tilting.
There were five warships following the battleship.
They were three Bee-class Destroyers, one Yubari light cruiser, and one Furuyaka heavy cruiser.
When they saw the attacked Longgate, they were all extremely shocked.
With several loud explosions, the shockwave and water pressure lifted the Longgate a little above the water.
As the water column fell, several large holes appeared on the starboard draft of the mighty Longgate Battleship.
Several whirlpools appeared on the surface of the sea as the seawater poured in.
"Baka, how is this possible?"
"Immediately approach the Longgate. We can't let it be attacked by torpedoes again. If we find any torpedoes, ram them directly.”
Three Destroyers, one Light Patrol, and one Heavy Patrol began to accelerate toward Longgate, which was several nautical miles away.
At the same time, they also deployed their anti-submarine formation.
Especially the three fastest Bee-class Destroyers, which were traveling at a speed of more than 30 knots.
The black smoke coming out of the chimney almost formed a dark cloud in the sky.
However, their anti-submarine capabilities were practically non-existent.
At high speed, their listening devices could not hear anything.
The Japanese's anti-submarine and anti-air capabilities were notoriously weak.
During World War II, Ying-chan's submarine proved this point.
Not to mention that they had yet to form an alliance with Germany and had not received technical support from Germany. Their anti-submarine capabilities were almost non-existent.
However, at this moment, the three Bee-class Destroyers seemed to have gone crazy.
Without detecting any traces, they frantically threw depth bombs in all directions.
It was as if he wanted to use this method to chase away this ghost-like submarine.
The sound of the depth charge could be clearly heard from the inside of the submarine.
Xu Hai smiled lightly.
"It seems that the Japanese are anxious. We should have obtained a lot of results. How long will it take to fill them up?”
Immediately, the call came back from the Torpedo Room.
"I still need four minutes."
With the help of the semi-automatic torpedoes loading system, it only took 10 minutes to load the six torpedoes.
"Creak!"
Suddenly, the Sonar Soldier heard an ear-piercing sound wave.
Even though it sounded a little uncomfortable, his face revealed an excited and excited smile.
"There must be something wrong with the Japanese battleship's keels. I heard a twisting sound.”
Hearing this, everyone's spirits couldn't help but rise.
For a warship, if there was any problem with the dragon bones, the warship would be considered useless.
It was useless even if they repaired the outside. Once the dragon bones were damaged, it would be impossible to repair them even if they were damaged.
"Captain, there's a letter from the Torpedo Room. All six tubes have been filled.”
Xu Hai immediately picked up the radio.
"Aim at the Japanese battleship and give it a fatal blow. Let it go to the bottom of the sea to feed the Dragon King.”
"Bang bang bang"
The dull sound of torpedoes entering the water could be heard.
Six torpedoes were launched from the tubes.
The Japanese sailors who were staring at the surface of the sea were immediately discovered after the torpedoes rose to a certain depth.
"Torpedo, it's coming again.”
At this moment, their voices were filled with despair.
The engine room had been hit, and the Longgate had lost its ability to move.
In the face of the six torpedoes, it was simply a fixed target on the sea.
However, three of the six torpedoes had problems with their sound sensors.
When they were about 400 meters away from the Longgate, they actually made a turn on the sea.
He headed straight for the light cruiser Yukari that was approaching them from a few kilometers away.
The main reason was that the battleship Longgate didn't make too much noise.
Yubari, who was rushing over at full speed, became the biggest source of noise.
This was also the flaw of the current sonic homing torpedoes.
Once a free-for-all started, this type of torpedoes would not recognize anyone and could even fight their own people.
Three torpedoes hit the huge ship again under the horrified and desperate gaze of the Japanese.
One of the torpedoes hit the hull of the ship again, dealing a fatal blow to the battleship that had tilted more than 20 degrees.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the dragon bone could no longer withstand the blow and directly broke.
At the same time, the fire began to spread below the deck.
"Boom!"
As the fire spread, the shells below the main cannon exploded.
The Longgate suffered another fatal blow.
The turret, which weighed hundreds of tons, was sent flying by the violent energy, leaving a huge hole in the deck.
The broken keels began to tear apart the huge battleship.
The ear-piercing sound of steel being torn apart could not even be covered by the screams of the Japanese soldiers.
In less than a minute, the huge battleship was torn into two and quickly sank into the sea.
Even the 70,000-ton Yamato was directly cut into two pieces after being hit by 10 torpedoes, let alone the 32,000-ton battleship Nagato.
"It sank, Captain, it sank, it sank.”
Xu Hai suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and said,"Immediately sink to a depth of 100 meters and leave this sea area quickly.”
In less than two minutes, three more explosions sounded.
The Yubari, which was in the midst of a violent storm, inexplicably took three heavy torpedoes and accompanied the Nagato.
Hearing the sound from the sonar, Xu Hai was also somewhat baffled.
Could it be that there were other friendly submarines nearby?
