Chapter 88 The sea wolves attack!
Perhaps no one would have thought that when the Japanese bomber group arrived in Shillong, the Sea Wolf Commando that Hu Biao had just formed was already lurking near the Japanese aircraft carrier formation. However, the aircraft carrier formation parked at the sea at this time did not notice it at all.
Although the submarines at this time are far less advanced than later generations, for many naval ships, they cannot detect submarines lurking under the sea. Equipment like underwater radars has not yet been installed on warships.
Many times, if you want to observe whether there are submarines under the sea, you must also be equipped with observation posts. By observing the submarine visitor that extends out of the water, you can find out in advance whether there are submarines hidden around the fleet, and then send fighter jets to bomb.
In addition, it can destroy submarines hidden under the sea and send ships to throw deep-water bombs under the water. In short, the technology of navies in various countries to prevent submarines is relatively backward at this time, which also led to submarines being valued by various countries.
At present, the submarines equipped by the Sea Wolf Commando are customized and purchased from Menia without exception. The submarine model is also the latest in Menia. Hu Biao has also spent a lot of effort to buy these submarines.
For the Menian military, they actually do not pay attention to submarines. In their opinion, submarines sail underwater slowly and have relatively short range. Once discovered by enemy fleets, there are almost no possibility of surviving.
But for Hu Biao at this moment, he formed this submarine formation more for near-sea defense. In Hu Biao's view, the submarine at this time was extremely lacking in all its performance. Many times, sea training should be extremely careful.
In the eyes of the Menian military, these submarines with relatively advanced performance are more of a new type of experimental submarine. Although they have undergone various sea tests, the specific actual combat performance has not been tested.
Through this arms sales, the Menian military also hopes to see how combat effectiveness this batch of submarines can exert in Hu Biao's hands. For today's navies, most of them still prefer speed, protection and gun caliber.
Even aircraft carriers are often only used for water mobile platforms carrying fighter jets. Before the missile was developed, the aircraft carrier was actually a fighter lifting platform at sea, and its actual combat power was extremely limited.
Through the Perspective Realm, Liu Changyuan, the captain of the Sea Wolf Commando, quickly set his sights on the Japanese aircraft carrier with the largest displacement in the middle. In addition, the cruiser guarding next to the aircraft carrier naturally attracted Liu Changyuan's attention.
Perhaps it was waiting for the return of the fighter plane, Liu Changyuan discovered that the officers and soldiers on the Japanese aircraft carrier formation seemed to be very relaxed. This relaxation may be because the Japanese army felt that no one was their opponent on the sea in Asia.
On the paved combat map, Liu Changyuan marked the locations of several Japanese warships. After some calculations, Liu Changyuan immediately said: "There are no aircraft on the Japanese aircraft carrier. I think they have taken off and left. Let's fight the frigate next to you first!"
"Captain, in this way, the Japanese aircraft carrier will likely run away!"
"It's okay! I will be responsible for the Japanese aircraft carrier later. The torpedo we carry is limited, so we must ensure that one strike will hit. Only in this way can we leave smoothly after launching the attack. Otherwise, you know the consequences!"
"I understand! Even if I die, I will drag the Japanese warships into the sea this time!"
"Nonsense! If you really have this idea, I will remove you from your post now. It seems that you don't remember the words of the wolf head. This raid on the Japanese aircraft carrier formation will give us more opportunities to test our combat effectiveness.
If you put the entire Sea Wolf Commando on, will you give us the trust of the Wolf Head? You should know how much the Wolf Head has paid to build our commando. Are you willing to let it lose all the money in one go?"
Whether it is the Seahawk Commando commanded by Lin Haoyuan or the Seawolf Commando commanded by Liu Changyuan, they are actually naval talents trained by Hu Biao for the future construction of the navy. Hu Biao also spent a lot of effort on these two commando teams.
Liu Changyuan, appointed as the captain, also followed Hu Biao for a period of time and received Hu Biao's teachings. He knew very well that the two commandos were the foundations of the future navy, so how could he easily say something to die together?
After some warnings, Liu Changyuan began to assign tasks to the nine submarines under his command. The largest aircraft carrier will be the Sea Wolf-1 submarine driven by Liu Changyuan, and the rest will be assigned to raid other ships.
After the order was issued, Liu Changyuan, who was staying in the command room, quietly felt the silence of the submarine moving forward slowly. At the same time, the radio operator responsible for receiving the telegram also reported one after another: "Captain, No. 3 sent a telegram and has arrived at the attack position!"
Considering the inevitability and accuracy of the raid, Liu Changyuan specifically instructed the other submarines to first transfer the submarines to the best attack position. After all submarines are in place, they will carry out a cluster raid, giving the Japanese fleet a fatal blow.
As long as a locked Japanese fleet ship is hit by a torpedo, the submarine will become much safer. It can float outside the safe area and continue to attack the locked Japanese ships twice or even three times.
After all the submarines sent a telegram to reach the best attack position, Liu Changyuan took a deep breath and said, "Start the countdown! Three minutes later, each submarine floated up immediately and started the attack! Tell the captains to try to ensure that the starter hits!"
"Yes, captain!"
After receiving a telegram from Liu Changyuan, the officers and soldiers of the other submarines also began to become nervous. As time passed by, the captains also stared at their watches. When the attack time came, the captains immediately said: "Float! Prepare torpedo!"
Accompanied by the submarine lurking under the sea, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one. Some Japanese devils were resting on the deck and soon saw a giant whale-like figure suddenly floated on the sea not far from the ship.
"Is it a whale? How come there are whales in this place?"
Just when some Japanese devils mistakenly thought it was a whale floating on the surface, some officers looked up and said in a daze: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! It's a submarine! Baga, that's a submarine! How could there be a submarine here?"
The submarine that successfully surfaced also began to lock in the warships in charge of the attack ahead. According to the previous operating procedures, the officers responsible for the attack mission shouted one after another: "The target has been locked!"
"emission!"
When the first torpedo was launched, the torpedo that left the torpedo tube quickly rushed to the warship floating on the sea ahead. At this time, the Japanese who learned that there was a submarine beside the warship could not believe that all this was true.
The warship, which was about to start the warship and escaped the threat of torpedo at speed, soon saw the torpedo that was splashing from the water and heading straight towards him. Seeing this scene, many Japanese devils screamed: "Torpedo! Be careful, there are torpedoes!"
Unfortunately, some warships have completely stopped the engine before, and they have restarted and accelerated the avoidance, which is too late. Although some warships have not stopped, it is not easy to turn around quickly at sea?
After all, these Japanese who were used to being confident and arrogant from beginning to end did not expect that such a large number of submarines would suddenly appear near the coast of southern Guizhou. In their impression, there was no navy in the Republic of China!
Most of the only warships are anchored in the inland rivers. No warships that can truly pass through the sea can be seen. As for the so-called submarines, the Japanese have never heard of them since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.
When the commander of the Japanese fleet learned that the fleet was surrounded and ambushed by a large number of submarines, the first reaction was that it was sent by countries such as Britain, France, and Menia. The problem was that they also had a very good understanding of the fleet situation of these countries in Asia!
The colonial fleet stationed near Haifang City has never heard of submarines. These days, the range of submarines is limited. How much time does it take to drive the submarine here?
But the facts clearly told the commander that his fleet was being attacked by a submarine. Seeing the torpedoes flying straight towards the aircraft carrier, the commander whispered: "Send a report! Let the island-based flight brigade come to reinforce immediately!"
The fighter jets that were originally parked on the aircraft carrier flew to Shillong for bombing missions without exception. At this moment, the fleet had no aircraft escort at all. The explosions from time to time on the sea had already told the commander that the fleet was being attacked by clusters.
When the torpedo hit the aircraft carrier's cabin, a huge shock wave was generated, and the deck located under the water was instantly tore open. The impact force generated by the explosion made the Japanese on the aircraft carrier become tilted.
The Japanese in charge of the damage said in a terrified look: "The bottom water tank was torn and cannot be blocked at all! The bottom water tank must be closed as soon as possible! Otherwise, the ship will be in danger of sinking!"
"Hurry! Try your best to avoid the enemy's torpedo strikes! Send a report to the command center and inform our headquarters that we have encountered a large number of submarines' sneak attacks. Damn it! Send a report to the island-based flight brigade and let it come quickly to reinforce!"
"Yes, General!"
Seeing that the first torpedo hit accurately, Liu Changyuan couldn't help but wave his hand and said, "Beautiful! Move left ten meters and prepare to launch the second tube torpedo! Then send a report to other boats. After the four torpedoes are launched, dive and return to the wolf's den immediately!"
"Yes, captain!"
With torpedo after torpedoes shot towards the Japanese warships on the sea. The entire sea surface had become smoke. Some Japanese ships with heavy injuries began to pour out and sink at any time.
The submarine that had launched four torpedoes, looked at the target of attacking that had not yet sunk, and said with some regret: "It would be great if there were a few more torpedoes! Damn, I can't see the Japanese ship sinking! Take back the periscope and prepare to dive!"
"Retract the periscope and start diving!"
For submarine soldiers, every submarine diving means taking certain risks. Fortunately, from attack to submarine, they have not been counterattacked by Japanese ships. Now what they have to do is to leave the war waters as soon as possible.
