Chapter 73 Pursuit

Dark clouds pressed against the top, lightning and thunder were roaring. As Roosevelt said, in such bad weather, Chinese planes could not fight at all. As the sky became more and more gloomy, Chinese air force began to fly away from the battlefield on the sea and headed towards the Huaxia Air Force Base on Midway Island, preparing to avoid the attack of the storm. Please use the pinyin domain name of this site to visit us.

The successive departure of the Chinese Air Force directly led to a significant reduction in China's strength, which made Roosevelt feel the pressure to plummet, and the speed of surrounding the Chinese Pacific Fleet was getting faster and faster. Just a moment later, you could use your number advantage to completely surround the Chinese Pacific Fleet. It was only time for you to defeat the Chinese Pacific Fleet in full.

Amid the thunder, the two cruisers on the left wing made two loud noises again, and the fire smoke rose into the sky. The ship trembled suddenly and tilted slowly. The ship was twisted, making a harsh sound of steel friction and breaking. Within a few minutes, half of the two newly introduced cruisers from the two American North Atlantic Fleet sank below the sea. The U.S. Navy soldiers on the ship had no time to put down their lifeboats and jumped into the surging sea water.

At this time, heavy rain was coming, and the sea was windy and waves were strong. With the sound of cannons from time to time, some shells fell near the sinking ship. The US Navy soldiers who had just escaped from the sea of ​​fire had not yet surfaced and were drowned in the sea and soon disappeared.

This time, Roosevelt didn't have to guess that this must not be the result of the detonation of the ammunition compartment. If the Louisiana in the First Squadron did sank quickly because the bomb compartment was detonated, the huge explosive force generated by the bomb compartment broke and sank rapidly, not long after, these two American North Atlantic fleets exploded almost at the same time, and sank quickly in a moment, which was a bit too coincidental.

Moreover, the huge explosion of this scale could make the ship sink so quickly, except for the ammunition compartment being detonated, only the powerful torpedoes left.

However, at this time, the Chinese Pacific Fleet was almost completely surrounded by the US North Atlantic Fleet, which had an absolute advantage in number. The main warships in these three US North Atlantic Fleet were still outside the encirclement. Let’s not talk about how torpedoes have such a long range and accuracy. If they were torpedoes fired by warships in the Chinese Pacific Fleet’s own formation, how did these torpedoes pass through the destroyers and torpedo boats inside the encirclement?

There is only one possibility, that is, these torpedoes were shot from outside the encirclement. When Roosevelt thought of this, he immediately picked up the telescope and looked northwest. Even though the sky was dark and the waves on the sea were surging, the visibility was reduced a lot, but Roosevelt could not see any of his w ships on the sea far away through this high-magnification military telescope in his hand.

There was another loud bang, and a small torpedo boat was instantly swept by a fire. None of the American officers and soldiers on the ship escaped in time. All their souls returned to the fire and became a few heroic souls on the vast ocean. The torpedo boat did not last long, and disappeared into the violently undulating black and blue waves in just a few breaths.

At this time, Roosevelt asked the soldiers who had just found out that the specific situation had been hustled back in the flagship Connewedu. As soon as he got on the deck, the American soldier wiped his face with water stains of sweat or sea water. The reward: Mr. Minister, we were sunk by torpedoes! The faces of the American soldiers were full of horror.

In just half an hour, a battleship, two high-speed cruiser fleets and a torpedo boat sank into the dark seabed. What a terrifying combat power!

Roosevelt nodded slightly. Judging from the time and power of the explosion, Roosevelt had already speculated that it was impossible to be the sinking caused by the outbreak of the ammunition depot, and it could only be a torpedo.

Marshall fell down on the chair in the bridge command room and murmured weakly: It must be the elusive submarine force of China! It was defeated, completely defeated!

Roosevelt sighed, and his excited expression just now swept away, replaced by despair like dead. China's submarine force has always been a mystery to countries around the world. Although the United States has long studied underwater combat ships, the United States' science and technology have been only at the beginning of research. The United States has never touched such diesel-powered submarines.

At that time, only two countries in the world had such underwater combat troops, one was Germany and the other was China. Moreover, Germany's submarine technology was introduced from China, which Germany called U-type submarines. All countries were also very troubled by this kind of ship that could fight underwater.

Because the activity range of submarines is basically at the dark bottom of the water, they are usually elusive and cannot be understood, and the mines on the water surface do not pose much threat to them, let alone the ships on the water surface, not to mention the surface ships of the navies of various countries, except Germany and China, have no ability to load anti-submarine devices.

The navies of various countries have not even figured out how the submarines work and how to fight. How can they develop anti-submarine devices accordingly?

At this time, the submarines of Germany and China were always out of extreme confidentiality. German submarines had been swimming underwater in the North Atlantic. What's more, Germany did not break out with the Allies at this time, so it was impossible to capture such a prisoner who could fight underwater.

It is even more impossible to capture Chinese submarines. Roosevelt heard that Chinese submarines are not only better than German imitation submarines in all aspects, but more importantly, Chinese submarines have self-destructive devices, and it is extremely difficult to capture. Chinese submarines once showed their power during the wars against Japan and Russia, and made great contributions to the rise of China's maritime hegemony.

So far, even Russia and Japan, which have fought with China, have not seen such underwater weapon with their own eyes, which shows how confidential China keeps this secret weapon.

In fact, since the United States and China officially declared war, Roosevelt has been closely monitoring the whereabouts of this mysterious underwater force. When Britain announced the dispatch of a fleet into the South China Sea, the US intelligence organization in Hawaii discovered that with the crisis in the South China Sea, Tang Jian, a mysterious underwater force such as Tang Jian urgently transferred to the South China Sea. Once the war begins, it can severely damage the Far East Fleet of the British Royal Navy on the South China Sea.

Roosevelt originally thought that the submarines of China were not fast. When W led the US North Atlantic Fleet and the China Pacific to enter the main battle, the Chinese submarine force should still be in the South China Sea. Even if the submarines rushed from the South China Sea to Hawaii, they would almost span the entire Western Pacific. Roosevelt expected that the Chinese submarine force would not be able to catch up with the main battle between the two navies on the Pacific.

Combining the above point, Roosevelt hurriedly launched the US North Atlantic Fleet from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. After a few days of rest, he formulated the current quick-decision strategy. It is necessary to completely defeat the Chinese Pacific Fleet before the Chinese submarine troops arrived in Hawaii to join the war.

However, what W did not expect was that on the second day after W launched an attack on the Chinese Pacific Fleet, China's submarine troops had arrived. In less than half an hour, they sank a battleship, two high-speed cruisers, and a torpedo boat.

In such a terrifying battle, even Roosevelt, who had always been extremely confident, felt cold all over his body, and a sense of fear surged into his heart.

The participation of the Chinese submarine force directly led to the balance of this extraordinary naval battle that had completely turned to the Chinese Pacific Fleet. The absolute advantage of the US North Atlantic Fleet no longer exists. Even at this time, the Chinese air force had withdrawn from the battlefield and the battle was greatly reduced.

Seeing the upcoming siege, Roosevelt felt very regretful. He was only a little short of it. As long as he gave W a little more time, W would have the confidence to completely defeat the arrogant Tang Jian.

Roosevelt looked back deeply at Marshall, who was talking to himself in the command room of the Connecticut Bridge, and then looked at the sea battlefield where half of the sky was lit by the fire of war. At this time, the US Pacific Fleet had an absolute advantage in its situation. W could even hear the excited shouts of American soldiers on several warships fighting fiercely in the distance with the sound of bombardment.

Marshall's eyes were filled with tears, and he said in a deep voice: Your Excellency Minister, please withdraw! The situation of the battle has been clear. If you continue to fight, you may only be wiped out!

Marshall also tried hard to persuade him just now, but Roosevelt resolutely decided to fight to the end. At this time, Marshall sighed and completely defeated the trace of luck and hope in Roosevelt's heart.

Roosevelt sighed heavily: Order the entire army and retreat immediately! Retreat the Port of San Francisco!

After Roosevelt's order was issued, some officers on the US ships that were almost completely surrounded by the Chinese Pacific Fleet in front were immediately confused after hearing this order. Why did they give up the excellent opportunity to completely wipe out the Chinese Pacific Fleet? Unfortunately, the military orders were as high as a mountain. Those officers who were just excited and shouting to completely wipe out the Chinese Pacific Fleet had to sigh and return.

At the same time, the Chinese submarine force was still showing its power. There were 30 Chinese submarines that rushed back to participate in the war in time. When the US North Atlantic Fleet abandoned the encirclement and was preparing to retreat, another battleship of the US North Atlantic Fleet was accurately hit by the torpedo fired by the Chinese submarine force. It sank with hatred. As well as the sinking, there were two cruisers, a destroyer and a gunboat.

In fact, the Chinese submarine force was at the end of its strength at this time. The continuous high-speed navigation on the water surface and the incoming battle were too late to add fuel. The Chinese submarine force had little fuel left, which was only able to support this naval battle. If you pursue it, you could only be powerless.

The bridge command room of the flagship Yongchang, the flagship Yongchang bridge command room at this time. Not long ago, a shell from the US North Atlantic Fleet accurately hit the bridge command room of the Yongchang. Five combat staff members were killed and several were injured, including Tang Jian, Ye Zugui, Cheng Biguang and others.

At this time, Tang Jian looked extremely embarrassed, his neat military uniform looked messy, covered with black stains and traces of being burned by fire. Even Tang Jian's hair was burned out, among which Ye Zugui and Cheng Biguang were both hit by splashing shells. Fortunately, the armor in the command room of the Yongchang Bridge was specially thickened, which weakened the force of the splashing shrapnel a lot, and it did not directly hit the vital point, so they were just some skin injuries. Otherwise, everyone, including Tang Jian, would probably be reimbursed on Midway Island today.

After the simple bandage of the military doctor on the ship to stop the bleeding, the two of them were fine. Ye Zugui spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm mixed with blood and cursed: Fortunately, the armor was thick enough, otherwise he would have really explained it here today!

Tang Jian wiped the stains on his face and smiled: This is called "living a disaster, and there will be blessings in the future!"

Cheng Biguang handed the telescope to Tang Jian with his injured right hand and said: President, Roosevelt ordered the retreat!

Tang Jian took the telescope and looked at the battle situation on the sea, sneering: Retreat? Want to leave so easily? Even if we cannot completely wipe out the North Atlantic Fleet of the United States today, we will ask us to take off a layer of skin!

President, Chu Zhaoliang just came to report that his fuel was almost exhausted and he could not continue to pursue! Ye Zugui reported.

Tang Jian frowned slightly: \u201bws have tried their best. It is not easy for them to come to participate in the Midway Naval Battle. We have not had a rest at many nights. Since the mission of the submarine troops in this naval battle has been completed, let us have a good rest! First organize an advance team mainly composed of destroyers and torpedo boats to chase the US North Atlantic Fleet in advance, and our team will arrive later!

Yes, President! Ye Zugui accepted the order and immediately notified the ships by radio.

Tang Jian cursed: The ghost weather on the sea changes as soon as possible! Even God is helping the United States. If it weren't for this damn storm, the Air Force would not have withdrawn from the battle early, so the United States' North Atlantic Fleet would have to be defeated here with regret today.

While Tang Jian said this, the sea was changing, and dark clouds covered the sky and the sun came. The entire sea of ​​Midway Island was like dark night. Lightning appeared frequently in the low dark clouds, and thunder roared. In an instant, raindrops suddenly fell, and heavy rain came in an instant. The dripping of beans fell on the hot muzzle and immediately evaporated into curling blue smoke, dissipating in the rain curtain.

\u201bws are catching up! Marshall is anxious.

Roosevelt looked back and saw a formation of destroyers heading towards the main formation of the US North Atlantic Fleet. At this time, Roosevelt was collecting the ships. He was anxious when he saw this. In the end, he had no choice but to return to the ships. He ordered the ships to take advantage of the heavy rain and retreat to the port of San Francisco in the chaos.

The attack of the Chinese submarine force just now caused a great shock to Roosevelt. Roosevelt was afraid that the Chinese submarine force would catch up. At that time, the only remaining battleships in the US North Atlantic Fleet would probably be damaged again. The remaining battleships are now the foundation for the US Navy to survive.

At this moment, Roosevelt looked at the Pacific Fleet that was chasing quickly and suddenly realized that the Chinese Pacific Fleet suddenly closed its formation just now, not because of the command error caused by the lack of a leader of the dragon, but because of the pursuit formation early on. If he had such a vision, there would be no one else except Tang Jian.

Thinking that Tang Jian was still alive, Roosevelt was extremely upset when he thought of this. He squirted out a mouthful of blood, his eyes turned black, and he fainted.
