"Prepare! Launch!"

"emission!"

"emission!"

After receiving the combat order, 12 Type 95 torpedo weighing 405    kg changed to a torpedo at a speed of 94km/h and shot towards the Japanese submarine in the distance.

One of the torpedoes used by the Japanese Navy is a submarine-launched torpedo that is improved based on the Type 93 torpedo launched by surface ships.

The Type 93 oxygen torpedo was a weapon developed by Japan on the eve of World War II and was widely equipped with Japanese destroyers, light cruisers and heavy cruisers.

The Type 93 torpedo is currently the most advanced torpedo in the world, with the fastest speed, the farthest range and the largest charge.

Because the Type 93 torpedo was too large and the submarine could not be carried, the Japanese army later designed the Type 95 oxygen torpedo for submarines.

The Type 95 torpedo warhead is the largest among all submarine-launched torpedoes, second only to the Type 93 torpedo used by Japanese surface ships. The engine is a wet heating engine using kerosene and oxygen, while most torpedoes currently use compressed air.

The Type 95 torpedo is also the fastest torpedo commonly used by navies in various countries around the world. Its range is 9000 m when it advances at 49 to 51 knots (91 to 94km/h), and its range is 12,000 m when it advances at 45 to 47 knots (83 to 87km/h), which is about 3 times that of the US-made mk     14 torpedo with the same speed.

It has to be said that the cost of naval weapons and equipment is really not cheap. For example, the most commonly used consumable torpedo is priced at around 30,000 US dollars in the United States, while a P51 Mustang fighter jet costs less than 60,000 US dollars, which is only equivalent to the cost of two torpedoes!

A German g7a      T1 torpedo costs 40,000 Marco, about 16,000 US dollars. Two torpedoes are equivalent to a German BF-109 main fighter jet, 4 torpedoes are equivalent to the cost of a No. 4 tank, and 6 torpedoes are equivalent to the cost of a Tiger tank.

There are all kinds of torpedoes in the current world in the system mall, but the price is also not cheap, ranging from 40,000 to 60,000 wealth points.

After careful comparison, Yang Fan finally decided to buy the Japanese Type 95 torpedo with a price of up to 60,000 yuan.

Just like this volley from the submarine detachment just now, it was equivalent to consuming a heavy Tiger tank or a Mustang fighter!

The current main submarine system of the Hu Ben Navy is priced at 8 million wealth points in the mall, and can carry 22 Type 95 torpedoes. Plus things like 7788, each submarine is fully loaded at up to 10 million wealth points.

Even Yang Fan was rich and arrogant and had a very vulgar development. Until now, he could only tinker with twenty or thirty submarines and dozens of small surface ships.

As for more advanced destroyers, cruisers, battleships, aircraft carriers, etc., they can be as wealth points as at least 20 to 30 million, and as many as 100 to 200 million, they are all big guys that Yang Fan can't afford!

It is precisely because naval ships are too expensive and require considerable naval technical branches. Otherwise, even if you sell a few large ships, they will only become live targets for the Japanese Navy.

12 Type 95 torpedoes were like dragons in the water at a speed of 90 kilometers per hour, and made black shadows in the sea, advancing rapidly towards the Japanese submarine troops a few kilometers away.

The Japanese Navy's submarine command tower, Captain Matsuyama stood quietly in the middle of the cabin with his hands in his chest, quietly looking at the instruments.

Sonarists, radar operators, operators and other Japanese soldiers are busy and busy working.

This I-52 submarine was completed on 1925.05.20 and is an old submarine from Japan before World War II!

The underwater displacement is 2,300 tons, the total length is 100.85 meters, the endurance is 6,800 nautical miles, the underwater speed is 8 knots, the diving depth is 60 meters, and 16 torpedoes are equipped with 63 crew members.

“What a quiet Madaban Bay!”

Looking at the instruments that were always normal, Deputy Captain Sawamura Toru said proudly:

"The Commander is too cautious. The British have long given up Myanmar. Their fleet has long fled to the Arabian Sea and beyond. How could they dare to let the pitifully small submarine troops help the Chinese army?"

"That's right, the Imperial Japanese Navy is the most powerful navy in the world. Whether it is the American Atlantic Fleet or the British Royal Navy Fleet, it is all vulnerable to the Imperial Navy!"

Junshi Matsuyama nodded intently and said with a smile: "But it's better to be careful. Didn't the Navy find an unknown submarine in the nearby waters a few days ago? Therefore, it is not ruled out that two or three British submarines with no eyes went blind and went to the wrong place."

Tsushi Sawamura smiled madly and said, "That's the best. The powerful Japanese Empire submarine is worried that it can't find anything to do!"

It’s no wonder that these two Japanese are arrogant. In the current world, the Japanese Navy submarine forces are really among the best. Compared with the German submarine forces, they are even better than those in terms of number.

After the end of World War I, while recognizing the importance of submarines and the constraints of the "Washington Treaty", Japan began to vigorously carry out submarine construction, which allowed them to have nearly 200 search submarines before World War II, leading countries around the world with absolute advantage.

Before World War II, Japan ranked first in the world with a huge advantage of 174 ocean-going submarines. It should be noted that Germany had only more than 50 ships during the same period.

However, although Japan recognized the importance of submarines, it fell into misunderstandings in its use, resulting in the performance of Japanese submarine troops in the original history being extremely dull.

This is mainly because Japan has too deep a giant cannon plot in building fleets, and building submarines is actually just a temporary measure. Therefore, after entering the "naval holiday period", Japan began to slow down the construction of submarines and began to turn to building large warships.

This led to the outbreak of World War II, although Japan had large-scale submarine troops, most of them were old models built in the early days. This backwardness was extremely terrifying during this period of rapid development of the navy.

The second is that submarines are lagging behind. Although Japan has a large number of submarine troops, it rarely uses it as a separate unit, but more uses it as an auxiliary ship, more responsible for reconnaissance and transportation tasks, and rarely directly undertakes combat tasks.

This backward use method not only seriously restricts the performance of the submarine force, but also falls completely at a disadvantage in the battle with American submarines. Japanese submarines loaded with cargo are not the opponents of American submarines that are directly used for attack.

Even in the late Pacific War, when surface ships suffered heavy losses, Japan still did not use the submarine force as its main force, and would rather adopt the so-called "Kamikaze Death Squad" combat method than adopt the "wild wolf tactic" like Germany.

Similarly, in the current plane, the Japanese Navy still did not realize this problem. The more than ten submarines arranged in this special mixed fleet were still reconnaissance and transportation tasks, rather than hunting the British Navy Royal Fleet and Transport Fleet in the farther Arab waters.
