"Or why, let the submarine intercept?"

Regarding this proposal, Mashar also shook his head. The submarine was the main force of his sluggish enemy. If it was dispersed, it would not be able to exert a sluggish effect. Now the enemy has increased its speed to 16 knots. If it is not sluggish, it will not be able to catch up with the enemy before dawn.

Faced with the situation where interception cannot be done and not without interception, Mashar's brain started at high speed and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Split the troops and let the Schanehorst take two destroyers to chase the maximum speed!"

Hinz was anxious: "In this way, the battleships will become 3v3, and our advantage will be further weakened."

"Not necessarily, after Schonhorst has packed up these fleeing warships, he can continue to pursue the ship not only has sufficient fuel, but also runs fast enough. What's more, Schonhorst also has torpedoes and has been equipped with 380mm naval guns! No ship in this fleet of the US military is the opponent of the ship!"

Xinz was stunned and nodded subconsciously: The two warships of the Scharnhorst class had replaced the original 283mm naval gun with the same 380mm as Tilpitz, taking advantage of the gap in maintenance in previous years. Although the only Iowa class (New Jersey) in the US military is stronger than the Scharnhorst class, now in the injury state, the Scharnhorst class has the power to fight, and the power of the Alaska-class artillery is not as powerful as the Scharnhorst class after being replaced, so Maschar believes that some of them are fighting.

At 12:07, the Schanehorst, who received the order, changed its course, left the main formation, and rushed over fiercely at a high speed of 4 knots.

"The left car is in the second place, and the torpedo is ready!"

"emission!"

"Sir, a torpedo is coming!" The US sonar soldiers' nervous voices changed.

“Where? How far is it?”

"Left wing position, speed of 2400 meters above 50 knots! At least 8!"

"What? So fast?"

"Preparation for torpedoes!"

"Close-defense gun"

The poor sailors stared at the sea with wide eyes and carefully searching for traces of torpedoes on the sea, but they found nothing at all. There was no exact discovery. Each ship could only turn and avoid the vague positioning of the sonar soldiers.

"It's there! There!"

It was not until the distance was about 700 meters that the oxygen torpedo was discovered by the US military. While trying hard to get rid of it, the nervous captains forgot one thing. They were not intact today, and they could run out of a new aircraft carrier of 30 knots at will, and today they only had a speed of 18 knots or even 16 knots.

"Boom!" A huge explosion sounded accompanied by the soaring water column. Seeing that the New Jersey on the right wing could not avoid it, the Dayton light cruiser rushed forward bravely and used his body to greet the kiss of the oxygen torpedo.

This kind of kiss of death is not something that a mere 10,000-ton cruiser can withstand, and the ship soon began to slowly sink.

"Damn it!"

Before everyone could come to their senses, the left-wing torpedo also rushed over: the target of this time was the injured Valley Forge aircraft carrier. This time the USS Spokane light cruiser (Atlanta-class). His tonnage was only over 6,000 tons, and his ability to resist beating was even worse. He was directly beaten into two sections and broke from the middle.

A wave of torpedo harvest took away two warships. Mitchell's face looked ugly. He already knew what a German submarine was.

When he thought of the densely pack of German wolves, he felt his scalp numb. The destroyers were already throwing deep-water bombs frantically, but they were useless because the four xxi and xxiii-class submarines had already run to the front.

“Recharge!”

"Roar! Rush over, don't take the anti-submarine evasion route!" Mitchell shouted loudly, "Leave two destroyers to rescue the fallen people, and the rest of the warships rushed over!"

Although that's the case, the chaos just now had been delayed for at least 15 minutes. What's even worse was the news from the radar room: "After more than 80 kilometers behind the fleet, a large number of enemy ships were found, with a speed of more than 30 ships, with a speed of 35 knots!"

"This is the German destroyer and torpedo boat!"

"Let the destroyers and PT boats deal with them!" Looking at the dense light spots on the radar room, everyone felt their scalp numb. The German army's desperate attitude fully demonstrated that they had caught up.

It is not a good time to disband the formation now. Once it is disbanded, the single warships will basically be a stalemate when they fall into the hands of the Germans. So while gritting their teeth and fleeing desperately, the US military continued to adjust its formation, preparing to use destroyers and PT boats to stop the opponent and protect the main fleet. In terms of the number of destroyers, the US military is at least twice that of the Germans.

But they forgot that there were submarines waiting for them in front. At 1:57 on March 16, four German submarines that completed the torpedo reload launched another raid, and 12 oxygen torpedoes began to take their lives.

"There are also submarines!"

"Torpedo is coming!"

Mitchell and others' faces changed drastically. In the last round of battles, they understood that these torpedoes were not simple goods, they were all mysterious and powerful torpedoes.

"Road over! This is the only choice! Otherwise we will be entangled by the lightning strike troops behind us!"

"quick!"

Of course it is OK to rush over, but it is just a price to pay. In the second round of submarine attack, the cruiser barrier had been weakened a lot, and finally the main ship began to thunder. The Guam battle patrol caught a torpedo on the port side, exploded a huge gap, and the speed suddenly decreased to 12 knots, and the overall hull was tilted by 17 degrees left.

Six minutes later, the torpedo that penetrated from the right wing came to the Tusquin, and the Atlanta-class light cruiser also fell before dawn.

Now, the lightning fleet behind them has chased less than 70 kilometers

ps: I wasted a lot of time on traffic today, but after visiting Ueno Park, I saw the bronze statue of Takashi Saigo, and took my children to visit the National Science and Technology Museum and the National Museum. I saw a bunch of Chinese cultural relics in the National Museum. However, the streets in Japan are really clean. I waited for the tram and the subway and lined up in a regular queue. No one flocked to the door to grab the seat. In contrast, I felt very complicated.

It may be very late to update tomorrow. During the trip, please forgive me. I will update it every day as much as possible. The time is not sure. Sorry, sorry!
