Red Alert 1895: Chapter 637 Submarine debut Part 2

"Fire me!" the captain of the Taiwanese destroyer shouted.

"Boom!"

A shell hit the destroyer of the Japanese army. The distance they fired was very close, only more than 100 meters. Such a short distance can be aimed directly at the enemy without calculating the wind direction. And this method is a last resort for Taiwanese destroyers. They can't quickly calculate the enemy's speed and wind direction, etc., so they can only come close to fight, which is beneficial for them to attack the enemy. This kind of bayonet tactics on warships is a competition for who is braver, and who can be bolder and more careful.

"Whoa—"

Several Japanese sailors were killed and wounded, but the captain of the Japanese destroyer wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked, "How many shots have we been shot by these Chinese people?"

"Reporting to the captain, we lost more than 20 people, and one of the shots hit our ammunition warehouse. However, because the power of this small-caliber artillery is not great, it did not damage the armor of our ammunition warehouse. The ones we hit It was only twelve shots, but they were fired by us for more than twenty shots! We have an absolute advantage, and those Chinese sailors don’t have much actual combat experience, obviously not.” The Japanese staff officer said.

And the captain of the Japanese destroyer immediately said with itchy teeth: "The Chinese navy has a huge fleet, but the strength of the sailors is so weak, which is much worse than that of our big Japanese sailors. If Our Great Japanese Empire can have the same warships as them, then we are enough to dominate East Asia. Unfortunately, why is God so favored by these Chinese people, they can have so many warships? If these warships are our Great Japanese Empire, then How nice it would be!"

Taiwanese destroyers and Japanese destroyers are still fighting continuously, and the two sides no longer pay attention to any tactics in this situation. It is definitely a head-to-head impact. It was completely in the mode of western knight duel, but both sides were hit by a lot of shells. At this time, it seems that no one has any reinforcements, no formation to fight, and can only rely on themselves.

"Captain, our warship is almost unbearable! Let's retreat quickly, or we may all sink. Lord Wang said that he would rather lose the warship than us sailors, so let's retreat !” Taiwan’s bridge staff officer said. ,

Wang Guorui said it to those navy soldiers more than once. He would rather lose those warships than lose these sailors. As a navy, what is really precious is not the warships, but the experienced sailors. If the warship is gone, it can be built again and purchased again. But if there are no sailors, it will take decades or even hundreds of years to train his Ali, and he will not be able to recover. And the time cost consumed in it is even more unbearable than the cost of warships. Just like many air forces in later generations encountered danger, that is, parachuting, they would rather lose the plane than the pilot. In addition to respecting life, it is also because training a talent is more difficult than building a machine. higher.

The captain of Taiwan looked at his very seriously injured warship, and then hesitated very much, because if he just retreated like this. That's probably going to be troublesome. If they just retreat like this, then they will all be at a disadvantage.

"Captain, there was a telegram just now, which is the common frequency and code book of our navy, saying that they are coming to support us, let us retreat quickly!" said the signalman on the destroyer.

"What? Which friendly army is coming?" the destroyer captain asked.

"I don't know, there are no friendly ships nearby!" said the watchman.

"Captain, they once again urged us to leave quickly, and the next task will be handed over to them!"

The captain of the Taiwan destroyer saw this situation, and immediately said decisively: "Retreat immediately!"

"Woo-"

The Taiwanese destroyer sounded its whistle. Then immediately turned around and left, but the Japanese destroyer continued to fight. But the captain of the Japanese destroyer obviously didn't want that.

"Baga, these Chinese people, they want to run away after fighting? There are no such simple things in this world. Chase me!" said the captain of the Japanese destroyer.

The Japanese destroyer immediately increased its steam engine horsepower and began to chase after the Taiwanese destroyer. Obviously, the Japanese did not want to let go of this victory. At present, this is the first official confrontation between the Chinese and Japanese navies, the first formal confrontation in front of the same strength, so the captain of the Japanese destroyer attaches great importance to it. If he can win, it will definitely have a very good result for his future.

at the bottom of the sea. Those submarines are opening the periscope for aiming, and then the torpedoes are also installed in the torpedo tubes, and then they begin to wait for the order of the torpedo detachment leader to launch torpedoes at any time.

"Detachment Captain, our destroyers have gradually withdrawn from the battlefield, and the Japanese destroyers are also chasing after them. They are already preparing to enter our ambush circle!"

Captain Hao of the submarine detachment was observing the Japanese destroyer with a periscope, then thought for a while, and said: "This time we must launch this torpedo from multiple angles, otherwise our torpedo is not fast enough to hit this destroyer. This The speed of the destroyer is enough to reach 20 knots. Our torpedoes are easily dodged by them, so we must launch multiples together so that they can't hide.

"Boat No. 1, lock!" "Boat No. 2, lock!"...

"emission!"

"Puff..."

The torpedoes came out of the submarine one by one, and then rushed towards the Japanese destroyers from all directions. However, the wake waves brought by the submarine torpedo immediately attracted the attention of the front.

"Captain, there are torpedoes!" The Japanese lookout immediately shouted.

"Nani? How could the Chinese release torpedoes?" the Japanese captain said angrily.

However, the Japanese captain immediately saw more than a dozen torpedoes rushing towards him from all directions, and suddenly his soul came out.

"Where is the torpedo coming from, dodge it for me!" The Japanese captain shouted hastily.

The soldiers on the Japanese destroyer immediately began to operate the destroyer, avoiding these torpedoes as soon as possible. This destroyer still has abolished flexibility, after all, the speed of 20 knots is not for nothing. In addition, the speed of torpedoes in this era is not fast, and the accuracy is obviously not enough. They are not guided by wire like torpedoes of later generations, so it is easy to avoid seven or eight of them by the Japanese army!

"Hmph, do you really think it's over? Continue!" Captain Hao said in a cold voice.

"Puff puff puff..."

The torpedo was launched again and rushed towards the Japanese destroyer.

"Damn it, where did these torpedoes come from? There are no enemy destroyers nearby!" the Japanese captain said angrily.

The Japanese army looked around, but they didn't find any destroyers of the Taiwanese army nearby. This made them feel very surprised, and they didn't know what was going on.

"Hurry up and dodge!"

This time the Japanese army was not so lucky, and was directly surrounded by more than a dozen torpedoes. As a result, they didn't know how to dodge it at all, because this time the torpedoes started to attack directly from these places, and they seemed to be unable to dodge no matter how they dodged!

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, the Japanese destroyer was instantly blown into two pieces, and many Japanese soldiers on it were also blown away. This torpedo is powerful, with a charge of hundreds of kilograms. Even a battleship is enough to blow up a big hole, so how can a small destroyer fail to explode? The destroyer was basically blown into two halves, and it was impossible to save it.

Captain Hao saw this scene, and immediately shouted excitedly: "Okay, with the results of this battle, who can say that our submarine is useless? Mr. Wang spent a lot of money on our submarine research every time, but Quite a few people are also grumbling here, saying that our submarines are useless. This time we are going to prove that our submarines are also capable of defeating the enemy's navy. Our submarines are very useful, and we will definitely be able to do so in the future Get more battle results, get more achievements, and then our submarines will definitely become a very important arm.”

"Huh, we're safe!" Said the sailor on the Taiwan destroyer.

"Who saved us? Are there any friendly forces around here? How did they fire the torpedoes?" asked a bridge officer.

And the captain of the Taiwanese destroyer also raised his binoculars, obviously wanting to check where the nearby friendly forces are~www.mtlnovel.com~ Captain, look underwater? " said the watchman.

The sailors on the Taiwan destroyer immediately looked at the sea surface, and then found that one after another submarine gradually became angry from the water, and then a drop-shaped submarine walked towards them. Then the sailors on the destroyers didn't know what this was, and looked at these things very curiously. This era is not like many people in later generations who can recognize submarines. Not many people in this era can recognize submarines. Even for the navy, they don't know much about this new branch of the navy.

When one of the submarines opened its top cover, a man with the rank of Colonel on his shoulder came out.

Facing the man, the captain of the destroyer immediately took the initiative to salute and said, "Thank you, sir, for saving your life. May I ask which unit you belong to?"

"We belong to the submarine detachment!" Captain Hao said.

"Submarine force?" Some people in the surface ship force obviously don't quite understand what kind of force this submarine force is. Obviously their rank is too low. (To be continued.)
