() Around 9 o'clock that night, the Japanese and Japanese fleets, which were traveling in parallel, suddenly changed. The formation of the Japanese and Japanese combined fleets suddenly changed from 2 to 4, and they all drove at high speed, regardless of the starboard side.
The Russian fleet formation turned right and rushed towards the rear of the Russian fleet.
The Russians were frightened by the sudden action of the Japanese. Seeing the Japanese rushing towards the rear of their fleet at high speed, they thought that the Japanese would use their speed advantage to eat away at the Russian fleet one by one. The six battleships on the far left were
A battle alert was immediately initiated, and the battle speed began to increase, turning to the left to prevent the Japanese fleet from attacking the rear of its own fleet.
Unexpectedly, the Japanese did not fire at all. They braved the Russian artillery fire and passed directly through the rear of the Russian fleet, heading straight towards Japan's Kyushu Island. The Russian fleet fired artillery shells at the Japanese fleet at high speed.
Retreating towards Vladivostok, the Russians were confused as they watched the Japanese people running for their lives regardless of the situation.
The Russians didn't know what Japan was going to do, but the commanders at all levels in the Taiwanese submarine under the water immediately realized that Japan was trying to escape. Immediately, the submarines lying in ambush all around received orders from the command boats.
, you intercept the escaping Japanese and Russian fleets, pursue them based on distance and distance, and strive to annihilate them all.
A total annihilation order is a total annihilation order, but in this case, even Gao Jiangong, the submarine commander who issued the order, knew that this time it was done. Chasing dozens of surface warships in the dark and trying to annihilate them all was basically
It's just a dream. As long as the other party wants to run, knows the direction, turns off the lights, and runs a few kilometers, the submarine will not find it.
Although Taiwan's submarines are equipped with active sonar, in such a chaotic battlefield, it is difficult to distinguish which ship it is and where it has gone. We can only rely on the general direction to pursue those low-speed ships. As for
Submarines cannot catch up with ships such as destroyers, torpedoes, and fast cruisers even if they use full power.
For a moment, several flames suddenly burst out on the originally quiet sea. They were the firelights of Japanese and Russian ships that were hit by torpedoes. After receiving the order to attack, dozens of Taiwanese submarines under the water surface
In the shortest possible time, they all selected the targets that had been selected long ago and launched the attack. Guided by the fire, most of the Japanese and Russian battleships and logistics ships that had not fled far on the sea showed their traces, and attracted
More violent attacks underwater.
Since the Japanese have arranged tactics in advance, no matter who is attacked, other ships must return to the ports along the Japanese coast at high speed. They must slow down or stop the ship for rescue, and there is no need to fire at suspicious targets. There is only one word, escape!
Therefore, Japan's four fleets, after discovering that their own ships were attacked, moved forward crazily and escaped without hesitation. The Russian fleet did not know the existence of the submarine, the god of death, and thought it was attacked by Japan.
The ambush of our fleet was immediately launched to meet the enemy
The formation protected the logistics ship and the injured warship and retreated first. However, it didn't take the Russians long to realize that it was not the Japanese who were attacking them, because on the water in the distance, a battleship of the Japanese joint fleet was burning.
, lighting up a large area of the sea.
Since it is not the Japanese, then who is it? From ancient times to the present, the unknown has been the most terrifying enemy of mankind. Since it could not find the attack target and was frequently attacked, the Russian fleet could no longer hold on for more than half an hour.
Unable to hold on any longer, the remaining ships started running at full speed and fled in all directions.
Two parties were escaping on the water, and one was chasing them underwater. If there were satellites at the time, you would have seen from the satellite photos that dozens of large and small ships were running like headless flies on the sea as if they were being chased by sea monsters.
At first, I could tell the difference between the Japanese and Russian fleets. Later, some Japanese warships and Russian warships ran together. The opponents who were still fighting desperately during the day were actually side by side at night.
Drive in one direction and hit no one.
This chase lasted until late at night, and then stopped because the submarine could not find its target. Originally, Gao Jiangong wanted to count the results, but the results reported by each boat were repeated a lot due to the chaos on the scene. The data
Gao Jiangong was shocked when he brought it up. According to this data, the Japanese and Russian fleets should have been completely wiped out and sunk at least twice...
Although the results were brilliant, Gao Jiangong felt very uneasy because the purpose of this operation was to try not to expose Taiwan's submarines. However, due to various factors, the Japanese Navy apparently discovered something, which resulted in this chaotic situation.
The submarine had to launch an attack in advance. According to normal calculations, many small and fast ships must have broken out. Whether it was the Russians or the Japanese, Taiwan's submarines could not hide this time. Regarding the result of this operation, Gao Jiangong
There is no guarantee that after returning to Taiwan, the minister or the president will hold him accountable for his command.
Although he was worried, he still had to do what he had to do. Anyway, it was exposed. Gao Jiangong telegraphed the Taiwan Naval Staff to ask for next instructions and suggested a sneak attack on the Japanese military port because according to the information provided by various submarines, the Russian naval ship escaped.
There were not many, and they basically did not escape towards Vladivostok, but a few ran towards North Korea, China and even Taiwan. Most of the Japanese fleet fled towards their own military ports, so if they could follow up in time, maybe
We can destroy some more Japanese ships near the military port.
Liu Fu received Gao Jiangong's battle report in Taiwan and was not surprised or disappointed at all. From the Japanese fleet at the beginning to the Eight-Power Allied Navy in the past two years, Taiwan's submarine force has carried out four consecutive sneak attacks, although they were all successful.
, but the last time was discovered by some ships in the Eight-Power Allied Forces. If Qing Zhengfu hadn't taken all the responsibility in a hurry, Taiwan's submarine might have been exposed last time. After these years of development,
Taiwan's economy, industry and national defense are fundamentally different from those back then. In addition, the European powers themselves have also experienced many problems. In recent years, their attention to Asia has gradually weakened. Liu Fu is no longer very afraid of exposing the strength of Taiwan's navy.
, even if the four countries of Britain, France, and Germany unite their fleets in Asia, they may not be able to do anything to Taiwan. The worst they can do is break up and smash several ports in Taiwan, and then all countries will not be able to feel comfortable in their ports in Asia. On the other hand,
, let alone unite these countries now, Germany is almost at odds with Britain in Europe, France and Germany are even more feuding, it is a good thing if they don't fight with each other, they may not be able to make this trip for Japan or Russia.
Muddy water.
After seeing Gao Jiangong's suggestions, Liu Fu felt that the new captain of the First Submarine Group had good vision and courage, and was more aggressive than his predecessor.
In his heart, Liu Fu approved this suggestion, but he strictly ordered the submarine troops to go deep into the Japanese military port to avoid unnecessary losses, let alone leave the sunken and injured submarines outside the Japanese port. Even if they were sunk, they had to find a way.
Exploded to pieces and then sunk.
When he received Liu Fu's new order, Gao Jiangong had already led more than 70 intact submarines to the north side of Hirado Island in Japan. Due to the melee at night, several submarines were hit by warships running around.
The periscope and hull cannot follow the large forces in combat. Gao Jiangong has separated several submarines and escorted the injured submarines to the rendezvous point to join the supply ship in order to return to Taiwan for repairs.
When the submarine force arrived at the western entrance of the Sasebo Naval Port, the sky was already bright and the early morning fog was rising from the water. Taiwanese submarines were no stranger to the port of Sasebo. As the Japanese Navy was regarded as the first imaginary enemy
The Taiwan Navy, almost every week, will have three submarines conducting reconnaissance patrols outside the military port. Not only will they transport some intelligence personnel from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to nearby islands, they will also record every move in the military port in detail, and
Take it back to Taiwan and hand it over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Naval Staff for archiving as strategic information.
Since submarines, as an underwater weapon, had not been widely deployed in various countries at that time, the concept of anti-submarine was basically out of the question. In addition to some surface mines, the Sasebo naval port used patrol boats and armed merchant ships as warning facilities. It was discovered that
They can detect the enemy's traces and then use favorable terrain and shore artillery to carry out strikes. However, there is basically no protection or countermeasure against submarines sneaking in from underwater.
Out of the principle of caution, Gao Jiangong only sent 3 teams to attack 30 submarines and sneaked into the military port in batches. The remaining submarines were hidden in the north and south of the west seaport according to their directions as a response force.
