Chapter 287 Submarine Attack (2)

(Thanks to book friend Hell Heaven No. 1 for monthly tickets, party commander guns, and Shan Qingying’s rewards)

The hull of the "Izumo" began to tilt in the panic eyes of all the Japanese army! "Wow----" is 132.8 meters long and nearly 21 meters wide. The armored cruiser "Izumo" with a standard displacement of 9,750 tons led a total of more than 630 officers and soldiers on the ship to plunge into the sea.\\9vk.com First launch\\ When the hull sinks, it brings out an extremely huge water nest.

"Good job. Diving forty meters, the direction remains unchanged, and keep moving forward silently." Li Shijia touched his chin and turned his gaze to the other two "Ibuki" and "Ikoma" that were still on the sea. The sneak attack was successful just now, and it was difficult to guarantee that the Japanese army would not find it, so Li Shijia was much more cautious.

However, the Japanese were used to rampant on the seas of East Asia. The sinking of the Izumo did not arouse too much alert. They thought it was the sudden explosion of the ammunition warehouse or another accident occurred.

"The enemy ship speed is 10, with a distance of 985 meters, Torpedo No. 2, and No. 3..." When he locked his eyes on the Ikoma again, the Ikoma suddenly exploded. "These kids will grab food." Li Shijia didn't need to think about it, and he knew that other submarines were launching the attack.

"The enemy attacked, and there was a submarine attack." The incident of the "Izumo" before could be considered an accident. At this time, its ship exploded again. If the Japanese army could not react, they would not be worthy of dominating the East Asian sea surface for so many years.

After the initial panic, the Japanese army on the Ikoma judged the general direction of the enemy submarine from the location of the explosion, and soon discovered the periscope of U15 in the southeast of the middle and west of the Momo Yu.

"There is there!" The Japanese army who found the u15 quickly reported the position to the gunner of the naval gun. Suddenly, the 152mm, 120mm, and 76mm naval gun shells hit the u15 like raindrops.

"Damn it, I didn't hit the vital point. I dived 30 meters, my orientation remained unchanged, and I advanced at full speed! The No. 2 torpedo was prepared!" After being discovered by the enemy ship, Pei Ming gritted his teeth and not only did not escape, but instead commanded the submarine like a madman to continue moving forward. Fortunately, although the Japanese naval gun fired many shells, the hit rate was far from comparable to the army's grenade launcher. It was not easy to hit the moving U15 in this vast sea.

"Hmm? It has not sunk yet, the location and distance remains unchanged, and the No. 3 torpedo is launched!" Seeing that the "Izuko" is still alive and the cannons are everywhere, and the huge water columns rising from the sea, Li Shijia was also a little worried about his comrades' situation. He immediately issued an attack order.\\9vk.com start\\\

"Boom!" This time, the Ikoma Is not that lucky. The torpedo launched by the U17 submarine hit a 20,500 horsepower "Ikoma" and the Miyahara-type coal-fired boiler. The coal-burning boiler is particularly prone to explosion after being attacked.

The power of the boiler and torpedo explosions together, amid the shocking gaze of the Japanese army, the entire "Izuko" hull, which had a displacement of more than 15,400 tons at full load, exploded into two pieces in a shocking sound and sank into the surging rivers. More than 870 Japanese soldiers on the ship were buried in the sea.

"Quick, send a telegram to Yokosuhama, saying that our ship was attacked by unknown submarines from unknown enemy troops. The battle cruiser Izumo and the armored cruiser Izumo have been sunk by the enemy. Request for emergency rescue!" Captain Morishita almost said to the communicator with a roaring voice.

"What? The returning fleet was attacked by submarines, and the Izumo and Izumo sank one after another?" Sojiro Tochiuchi, who was then the commander of the joint fleet, almost jumped out of his chair when he received a telegram for help from Morishita. To put it bluntly, even if the returning fleet lost all his losses, he would not frown. The Izumo, Izumo, and Ibuki have been in service for a long time and will become a last-rate warship in two years.

The key is that those ships returned from the Sea Cucumber and loaded 200 tons of gold handed over by Kikuchi Shinnosuke. Now Sojiro Tochi can only pray that the gold has not been placed on the sinking warships, Izumo and Ikoma. You should know that from 1911 to 1917, the joint fleet's annual new shipbuilding fund was only about 158 ​​million yen, which was enough for the Japanese army to add three or four of the most powerful battleships in the contemporary era.

"Hurry up, gather all the warships on the dock!" Tochiuchi Sojiro shouted loudly.

"Hayi!"

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. At this time, the "Ibuki" battle cruiser fire was fully opened, like an angry hedgehog. The jet fire seemed particularly dazzling in the rain.

"Float to the surface! Take the telescope sight." Pei Ming had a delicate face, but only those who had contacted him knew that under his delicate appearance, this person was actually very crazy.

Taking advantage of the "Ibuki trumpet" to deal with other submarines, the remaining five cargo ships were not enough to pose a fatal threat to the U15, and the U15 submarine surfaced. Pei Ming, Zhou Jianjun, Tang Dazhu and others all ran to the bridge with their telescope sights, holding the railings, and waves of waves hitting the body, making people feel cold.

"Turn right rudder 5, drive 260!"

"The torpedo tube No. 1 to 3 is ready to be launched on the surface!" The wind and waves sounded. Pei Ming on the bridge was roaring loudly, and a wave happened to hit him, causing Pei Ming to drip a few sips of water.

The person at the hatched door passed Pei Ming's order into the boat.

"Right full rudder, go forward at full speed, prepare for attack!"

"Azip 060, distance 1665 meters. Point at him!"

"The target is aimed at, open the torpedo cover!" An answer came from the cabin.

"Open the No. 1 and No. 2 torpedo tubes, new head 063. Get ready to launch! No. 1 fires!" Accompanied by Pei Ming's roar, a torpedo with a round head and long pole shot out from the pipe with infinite power.

"No. 2, open fire!"

"Azip 058, distance 1530 meters, No. 3 is ready to launch, No. 1 and No. 2 fill the torpedo immediately!"

"Fire on No. 3!"

"No. 1 and No. 2, open fire!"

"Boom!" The u15 was too arrogant, and a 120mm naval gun from the "Ibuki trumpet" shot towards this side.

"Alarm! Everyone returned to the boat, the sailors moved forward, ready to dive. Hurry!" The few people standing on the bridge turned around and ran into the submarine. Wow, when they entered the submarine, some salty and fishy sea water also poured in.

"Dive 50 meters and move forward at full speed!" Pei Ming gasped.

"Boom!", a huge column of water rose up on the sea, and the shells exploded near the left side of the submarine. The entire submarine was like the earth shaking. Cups, bowls, and buckets containing fruits. All the miscellaneous things fell off the shelf and rolled everywhere. Most people also got tilted. If they had bad luck, they would hit someone hard, and they would also get bleeding from their heads.

"Turn left 15 degrees and dive again 20 meters! The speed remains unchanged!" Pei Ming shouted loudly in the bumpy voice.

Perhaps it was attacked by other submarines. After failing to hit the Ibuki Horn, it diverted its attention and dived to a depth of 70 meters. The impact of the wind and waves on the sea was already very small, and the submarine began to calm down.

At this time, Liu Youfa brought a timer over, "The first torpedo is 85 seconds left!"

"So... Boom!" A moment later, a huge explosion came from the water surface. A Japanese cargo ship turned into a ball of fire in heavy rain, bursting, burning for a while, slowly sank into the sea.

"I hit it, I hit it!" Zhu Fang ran over and said loudly, dancing and cheers suddenly sounded inside the submarine.

The repeated explosions caused the Japanese cargo ships on the sea to sink into the sea, and five torpedoes hit four. Finally, the Japanese on the ship saw their companions' fate and fled in horror. However, they didn't run far away and were directly sunk by other submarines.

When the u15 began to rise, half of the "Ibuki horn" had plunged into the sea under the attack of other submarines.

At 7:43, six U-type submarines dived into the water and began to leave the sea area. Eliminate such a fleet of three large warships and five large transport ships, which must have alarmed the Japanese fleet. Now they can only avoid the edge, wait for the right time, and then rush over and take a bite. Moreover, the Japanese coastline is so long and there are ships everywhere, so the submarines do not have to worry about not finding their targets.

When Sojiro Tochi led dozens of warships, including 16 destroyers, to the waters where the incident occurred, he could not find anything. Looking around, there was a vast sea of ​​smoke, with winds surging, raindrops falling from the sky, and occasionally one or two scattered plastic floating objects could be seen. It proved that a brief naval battle did break out here.

Sojiro Tochiuchi was crying but still cried. This time, the Japanese army not only lost three large warships, but also nearly 2,300 naval soldiers were buried in the sea. There were also 200 tons of gold. Five large cargo ships filled with ore sands were plundered from Russia, and they sank to the bottom of the sea. If they had known that they would never have suffered such consequences.

The guards of Tokyo Bay were so tight that they were not sure. After a firing shot in the waters near Tokyo Bay, Li Shijia began to return along the Japanese coastline. Of course, the torpedoes and shells they carried were consumed. On the sea without Japanese warships, several submarines even boldly surfaced and used the artillery on the submarine to destroy the Japanese merchant ships in sight.

At this time, Li Shijia and others only thought that they had sunk three warships with displacement of tens of thousands of tons, and they never expected the losses caused to Japan by those torpedoes. As for the Japanese merchant ships behind, they could only be considered small compensation.

However, these submarines shocked the Japanese authorities. After being denied by Britain, the United States and other countries, the top Japanese leaders confirmed that they were submarines in the Northeast. After the European War, the Japanese navy has steadily ranked third in the world's navy, second only to Britain, and the position in East Asia is unshakable. Now it has been bullied by submarines in Northeast China, which not only caused heavy losses to Japan, but also caused Japanese merchant ships in the coastal areas to panic.

The angry Japanese accused the Northeast of attacking Japanese civilian merchant ships, while also catching and transporting troops, increasing the offensive efforts in the Dashiqiao area, and urging the navy to hurry up and clear mines so as to arrange for the Japanese army to land directly from Yingkou. After landing from Yingkou, they could attack Panjin and Jinzhou, the important cities of Fengtian along the railway, directly attack Anshan to the north, and threaten the right wing of the Northeast Army to the east, which was a killing of the number of deaths.
