On the Whale II submarine, which was completely copied by Yang Feng according to the Type 033, the captain Wang Bin is aiming at the Alfonso XIII through the periscope. There is almost no difference in appearance between this export version of the Kunlun-class battleship and the original version, so
The scene in front of me is somewhat strange, as if my target is a battleship of my own country.／
In fact, until now, he and the other three captains on this mission have not yet understood why they came to help the enemy attack the ally's fleet.
"This is bullshit politics!" He cursed helplessly, and then ordered: "Launch!"
Two of the six torpedo launch tubes on the bow of the Whale II submarine opened immediately, and then two of the latest electric torpedoes without any traces jumped out one after another at a high speed of forty knots, and then followed a path.
The upward-sloping track headed directly under the waterline on the port side of the battleship Alfonso XIII, which was three kilometers away.
Almost at the same time, the Whale III submarine one kilometer away also launched two torpedoes at the heavy cruiser Queen Theresa.
Poor Rear Admiral Carlos had no idea that the attack from the allies was close at hand. Now there were only nine North American battleships left in his encirclement, including three North American light cruisers, and he only lost one ocean-going destroyer.
, and soon he will achieve a brilliant victory.
"Americans are here to write honors for us!" the fleet commander said reservedly.
At this moment, the first 533-caliber electric torpedo hit the Alfonso XIII two meters below the waterline. The explosion of fire instantly arched from the port side. This ship with a displacement of nearly 20,000 tons
The giant ship was thrown upward fiercely, and Rear Admiral Carlos was caught off guard and fell suddenly into the control tower. Before he could understand what was going on, the second torpedo hit immediately, and the flames of the explosion rose again.
However, these two torpedoes did not cause too fatal damage to the Alfonso XIII. Most of the explosive impact force on the side was released to the sea along with the water column stirred up. The strong waterline armor blocked it.
The remaining force only opened a small crack, but the perfect watertight design was enough to solve the subsequent water intrusion problem.
But just when Rear Admiral Carlos was in shock and thankful that he had escaped, two torpedoes launched by Whale III hit the heavy cruiser Queen Theresa almost simultaneously. For this heavy cruiser of only more than 7,000 tons,
It can be said that such an attack is completely fatal. Not to mention two, it cannot block even one. As the flames of the explosion arched from the water, its waterline was torn apart by more than twenty
The meter-long gap opened. Sea water immediately poured in crazily, and then the Queen Theresa began to tilt.
The inexplicable torpedo attack stunned the two sides fighting on the sea. Everyone was staring at the sinking Empress Theresa. They even forgot about the battle. Major General Carlos even ignored the head-butt.
He rushed to the window and stared at the scene as if he had opened the door to see his wife cuckolding him.
"Submarine! An American submarine!" The captain of the Alfonso XIII beside him said with trembling lips. At this time, the captain was secretly congratulating himself that his warship was strong enough!
"Asshole, sonar officer!" Rear Admiral Carlos roared angrily when he woke up. The sonar officer on the battleship hurried over and trembled to bear the commander's anger, but he was really innocent at this point, no matter whether it was a whale submarine or an electric torpedo
. None of them can be detected by the basic version of the sonar that Yang Feng installed for them, which is at most the level of the late World War I. After all, these are almost the technical level of forty or even fifty years later.
Poor Rear Admiral Carlos didn't know that just when he was scolding the sonar officer bloody, all the Spanish warships on the entire sea were attacking the remaining North American warships while running to the rescue. Whale 2 and Whale 3
The four electric torpedoes launched for the second time at the same time have already arrived.
But this time, perhaps too close, the sonar crew actually heard the sound of underwater torpedoes advancing.
"Torpedoes. And torpedoes!" the voice announcer turned around and shouted heartbreakingly.
Rear Admiral Carlos raised his head in astonishment. Before he could give the order, the familiar feeling came again under his feet. Four torpedoes exploded under the waterline of the battleship in just one minute. This time Alfonso XIII
The battleship was doomed. Although the quality of this battleship was very good and there were no problems in its design, six heavy-duty torpedoes exploded under the waterline on one side. Under the power of a total of 1,200 kilograms of antimony, what?
It was useless. The original crack quickly tore to a terrifying extent. Hundreds of tons of seawater poured in instantly, and the entire battleship immediately began to sink.
But the Spaniards' nightmare was not over yet. Just as their two light cruisers and three destroyers were arriving for reinforcements, the remaining North American warships saw an advantage, including three light cruisers, four destroyers, and two torpedo boats.
At the same time, they braved the enemy's intensive firepower and rushed forward. The two fastest destroyers launched twelve steam gas torpedoes at the same time at a Spanish light cruiser. Although both sides were sailing at high speed, their hit rates dropped significantly.
There was still a direct hit, instantly blowing the less than 5,000-ton cruiser into two pieces.
Rear Admiral Carlos looked helplessly at this scene on the Alfonso XIII which was beginning to sink. He knew that his fleet was finished, both the Alfonso XIII and the Empress Theresa were finished.
Even the remaining four battleships would not be able to leave if the delay continued. After understanding this, he immediately issued a retreat order in the name of the fleet commander to the remaining cruiser and three destroyers that were trying to come to the rescue. As for himself, he had no choice but to stay here.
Become a prisoner.
The North American Navy achieved a great victory outside the Delaware Bay, sinking a Spanish battleship, a heavy cruiser, a light cruiser, and a destroyer. The news quickly shocked the whole world. You must know that this was the first time since the Spanish-American War.
The first real victory won by the North American or U.S. Navy since then. Although this victory was actually baffling to the North American Navy itself, public opinion from the outside world was unanimous that it was achieved by them. Even the small fleet that was almost annihilated
They were all interpreted by newspapers as deliberately self-sacrifice by leading the Spaniards into a submarine ambush.
This was undoubtedly a huge encouragement to the Allied forces whose morale had been low due to China's participation in the war. For a time, bragging about the North American Navy filled the entire Allied public opinion. As for the Allies, especially the Allied navies in the Americas, they immediately became vigilant.
In order to prevent being attacked by new North American submarines and torpedoes, the Spanish and Argentine fleets, which were conducting blockade operations from Canada to the coast of Norfolk, quickly retreated to prepare to gather to deal with new threats.
But during the retreat, the Argentine fleet responsible for the Canadian coastal blockade encountered this new submarine ambush. A heavy cruiser sank, and the battleship Rivadavia also suffered a torpedo. Although it was not fatal, it was indispensable.
No more retreat to Havana for repairs.
The raging North American submarines suddenly reversed the war situation in the American seas. The Allied fleets that had originally blocked the coasts of Canada and North America all retreated to their respective military ports. No one dared to risk any more attacks before they found effective means to deal with these elusive North American submarines.
Even the American Fleet of the Chinese Navy, which was originally on guard against the two Chilean battle cruisers in Kingston, was hiding in the harbor and did not dare to go out. Everyone's expression changed when they talked about the mysterious North American submarine.
Of course, except for a few senior generals, no one in the Chinese American fleet knew that the four submarines that had just finished wreaking havoc had sailed into a small bay only a few dozen kilometers away from their San Juan naval base, and then silently
It disappeared into a secret base that was only built a year ago. The entrance to the base was then sunk and blocked by an abandoned merchant ship. As for using it in the future, the only thing is to salvage the ship.
In fact, for the Allies, these North American submarines are not difficult to deal with. In addition to their performance advantages, another important reason for their ability to run rampant is that the Allies' naval power in the Americas is too small. If the huge Chinese navy can
Separate a part, not too much, and supplement it with a fleet of similar strength to the American fleet, which will be enough to suppress North America's advantage in submarines.
From the positions of these two battles, it can be seen that the endurance of this mysterious submarine will not be too great, which means that it is a very small submarine. This can also explain why it is so difficult to find them. The smaller the submarine, the less engine noise.
It must be smaller. In this way, we only need to avoid the US coastal waters and place the interception area farther away. But the problem is that in this case, more warships will be needed. It is not easy to intercept merchant ships in the vast Atlantic Ocean.
It's a pity that the Chinese Navy really can't spare any extra warships to reinforce the Americas at this time. The most powerful navy in the world is already stretched thin. They need to escort the reinforcements heading to Europe. In addition, they must ensure that this route is open, and
At the same time, they also need to cover the landing of the Marines on Luzon Island. After all, there is a Russian fleet there consisting mainly of two old battleships.
At this time, the landing operation had begun. Hundreds of warships of various types from Cam Ranh Bay and Yazhou were sailing mightily in the South China Sea. Two giant aircraft carriers carried the majesty of their overlords, and battleships and battleships were
Cruisers escorted both wings, and countless cruisers and destroyers were scattered around. Behind this fleet was a transport fleet composed of more than a hundred landing ships, troop carriers, and even ro-ro ships, carrying six full ships belonging to the Marine Corps.
