Such a large fleet, coupled with a large escort fleet of destroyers, is enough to dwarf Cunningham's Sardon Continental Fleet.However, this large fleet has not yet engaged with the opponent, and it has already opened fire near the Saerdong Continental Fleet.
It turned out that after Wei Hong reported the situation, the No. 4019 submarine under his command followed up, intending to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.Because there are supply ships in the fleet, the sailing speed is only 14 knots. In this case, the Seawolf 4 can easily keep up with the snorkel.
In today's world, there are very few submarines that can reach 14 knots, so Saar seems very relieved about the safety of the rear.All anti-submarine destroyers are basically arranged in the front and two wings, and they don't pay attention to the rear.What's more, in order to hide his whereabouts, Wei Hong hid the ventilation pipe behind a large piece of wake spray, which made it difficult for the Saar people to find the situation.
The task Wei Hong received was to keep a close eye on the movement of the Saar fleet and report its location at any time, so that the Zhai Niyang Second Fleet could grasp the opponent in time and look for an opportunity to launch an air strike.Liu Guanxiong calculated the distance between each other. He planned to wait until the distance between the two sides was reduced to within [-] nautical miles, and then launch a group of planes to launch an air strike. Seeing that the distance was getting closer, the other side was attacked first.
It turned out that the Seawolf 4 submarine No. 4033 was the first to launch the attack. Among the more than 30 submarines operating in the Zhaini Ocean, [-] of them were active in the eastern part of the Zhaini Ocean to the Andaman Sea. This time I heard that When the Saerdong Continental Fleet was about to dispatch, they all gathered in this direction.
Among the eighteen submarines, there are eleven old Seawolf 3 submarines, and the other seven are the latest Seawolf 4 submarines.They also receive the coordinates that 4019 keeps sending, so they can gather here.The Hualan Navy's mission requirements for submarines are very loose. They are similar to safari, roaming the sea during wars, attacking any enemy ships that can.Because of poor underwater communication, except for these submarines returning to the port, or receiving ultra-long-wave telegrams from the headquarters, they rarely contact the headquarters.
Applying the pack of wolves tactics first established by the Hualan Kingdom Navy, submarines generally do not always fight alone. When encountering a large fleet, they will call nearby partners by radio to hunt together.The situation today is that other submarines misunderstood that the signal of submarine No. 4019 was used for hunting, so they gathered here.
Fei Yuan, the captain of submarine No. 4033, was the most impatient. When he spotted the enemy fleet, he immediately launched an attack.Two Yu-1 torpedoes escaped, took two straight tracks, and attacked the sailing Saar fleet.
"Who is launching the torpedo?" Wei Hong noticed something unusual on the sonar screen, and immediately frowned. According to his judgment, the torpedo was the only thing that could travel so fast underwater.
"Oops, probably the other submarines thought that the signal we sent was a hunting signal, so they all ran here." The sonar soldier whispered, and Wei Hong suddenly realized that he was indeed negligent, and even forgot to explain in the message in advance, this time Not hunting.
The raid by submarine No. 4033 soon came to fruition. A torpedo hit the side of the cruiser "Courage" of the Saar Empire from the flank. Tilted halfway.
"There are submarines under the water." The sailors on the battleship shouted loudly, and they rushed to their battle positions, ready to fire at any time.The dexterous destroyers immediately dispersed and scanned repeatedly with sonar.Soon, the sound of depth charges entering the water sounded one after another, followed by a series of underwater explosions.
The pioneering Seawolf 4 submarines had a maximum dive depth of 180 meters, and they were not afraid of the depth charges of the Saars. As a result, the destroyers made a fuss, but failed to achieve any results.Cunningham looked anxious, and he immediately ordered the entire fleet to deploy an anti-submarine formation, while speeding up its advance.
In the face of the enemy's absconding, the Seawolf submarines were relentless. Eleven Seawolf 3 submarines had already ambushed on both sides of the opponent's route.When the Saar fleet accelerated, these submarines had already floated up to the depth of the periscope, and began to aim at their targets and launch torpedoes.
Many white tracks suddenly appeared on the sea, catching the Saar by surprise.Although the Saars had opened the anti-submarine net, the range of the Yu-1 torpedo was as high as [-] kilometers, which was not within the range that destroyers could easily search for.
Facing the appearance of a large number of submarines, the Saar destroyers were desperately releasing depth charges. Regardless of what targets they were looking at, they directly tried their luck by killing them face-to-face.Under the intensive bombardment of depth charges, three Seawolf 3 submarines were sunk and two were damaged.
Seeing this situation, several Seawolf 4 submarines rushed up immediately and fired Yu 2 torpedoes.While the advances in range and power have been modest, the promise of weapons capable of effective guidance is immeasurable.
The first thousand and 280 chapters and six comprehensive searches
When several torpedoes with inconspicuous tracks clearly turned a corner and hit the dodging warship, the Saar sailors were all frightened.Many people even think that they drank too much alcohol the day before, and they are still hungover.
There are actually torpedoes that can turn around and attack. This myth, which is similar to the Arabian Nights, has become a reality. When Cunningham received the news, he was also secretly shocked.Now he has no way out, the only way is to go forward bravely, get rid of the entanglement of the opponent's superior submarine, and go to the main decisive battle.
He had to get rid of the submarine. In such a short time, three cruisers and five destroyers in the fleet were sunk, and the battleship Retaliation was also hit on the port side. Fortunately, there was a mine-proof watertight compartment so that it would not be destroyed. sunk.
Due to the limitation of speed, the Saar fleet quickly broke away from the encirclement of submarines, and continued to sail towards the east at a speed of 23 knots, leaving only the logistics supply ship surrounded by a group of submarines behind.Because their speed was too slow, they could only be abandoned. These poor big ships were extremely bulky, and their bodies were filled with weapons, ammunition and fuel. As long as a torpedo hit, basically a gorgeous martyrdom could be seen.In the end, the crew members all abandoned their ships, boarded lifeboats and fled in all directions.
Seeing that the Saar sailors had fled, these submarines came up one after another. While helping to repair the injured submarines, they notified their superiors and asked for some sailors to support them, and drove these boats back.
More than a dozen submarines captured more than 40 large ships, and they were all large ships full of munitions and fuel. Such news is absolutely shocking.In order to get these ships back, the Hualan Army immediately mobilized seaplane troops on the coast and airlifted a group of sailors there. In addition, the destroyer fleet dispatched from Lanfang Province sailed towards that sea area at full speed, hoping to meet these ships as soon as possible and send them to the sea. They escorted back.
Prior to this, the task of guarding could only be handed over to the submarine.Although submarines are very unqualified for escort missions as offensive weapons, they can only make do now.Fortunately, the naval power of the Saar people was concentrated and sailed eastward, and there was a military vacuum in this sea area for a while.
"Send all the seaplanes, and I want to know the detailed situation within [-] kilometers." After being attacked by a submarine, Lieutenant General Cunningham felt a little uneasy.He didn't know whether the opponent's submarine could transmit the information to the opponent's main fleet in time, but he could be sure that the opponent had already received the news and was ready for battle before his own arrived at Kokang.
Cunningham knew that the opponent's fleet should be stronger than his own. To win, he had to grasp two points. The battlefield is the Andaman Sea with complex hydrological conditions.
The Andaman Sea is a part of the northeastern part of the Zhaini Ocean. It is between the Indochina Peninsula, the Andaman Islands, the Coniba Islands and Sumatra Island. It is [-] kilometers long from north to south, [-] kilometers wide from east to west, and has a depth of more than [-] meters. [-]% of the entire sea area.
The hydrological conditions here are complicated, and it is a sea area where submarines are difficult to operate. Those ships that are not familiar with the local conditions are also likely to run aground or run aground, especially warships with relatively deep drafts.It can be said that Cunningham chose this sea area as the decisive battlefield with good intentions.
In order to prevent the Hualan Navy from discovering his whereabouts, Lieutenant General Cunningham used a trick. First, he led the fleet directly to the direction of Kyaukpyu Port in Kokang Province. Straight to the Andaman Sea.
Cunningham's move was very effective. Liu Guanxiong led the fleet to the predetermined sea area, but found no trace of the enemy.Regarding the recklessness of the [-] boat, Liu Guanxiong was very angry. It was because of their sudden attack that Cunningham discovered the danger, so he abandoned all the supply ships and accelerated the speed, making the [-] ship lose its target.
In any case, it is useless to regret now, and the consequence of not finding the enemy is to search again.Liu Guanxiong ordered all shore-based seaplane regiments to dispatch planes to search in all directions, even the No. 20 Nine Seaplane Regiment, which had just entered the Andaman Islands, was no exception.
As a pilot of the No.20 Ninth Water Flight Regiment, Zhao Rui and his crew quickly boarded the fully fueled plane.Because it was wartime, all the troops near the theater were in a state of battle, and the planes were parked next to the apron with full fuel and ammunition, ready to take off at any time.
After Liu Guanxiong gave the order, these seaplanes immediately took off from the port and flew towards their respective targets.Zhao Rui flew the plane into the sky, still slandering the head of the group in his heart.In this search mission, he was assigned to the due east where most people would not want to go.
The Hualan army has already occupied this area and controlled all the land around the Andaman Sea. No one thought that the Saar would be so stupid to come to this place.It's a pity that everyone doesn't know that the Saar people don't know that the defenders of Singapore and the Andaman Islands have surrendered, and their ultimate goal in coming to the Andaman Sea is to rely on complex hydrological conditions for a decisive battle.
Zhao Rui and his crew climbed to an altitude of 5000 meters and looked down with binoculars.Visibility is not high today, and there are faint thin clouds in the sky at 400 meters, which is not good for observation.At this time, all the crew members stared wide-eyed and searched around with binoculars. Although they didn't think they could see anything, loyalty to duty is a necessary quality for Hualan soldiers.
"Hey, what do you guys think we're having for dinner today?" Zhao Rui couldn't hold back his loneliness, and chatted with the navigator Xia Qun beside him.
Xia Qun, whose eyes were sore from watching, put down the binoculars and said, "Do you care about eating dinner? I think you want to get the attention of that waitress. There are not enough people, you can't torture underage girls."
"Fuck you, I'm in a relationship, and I'm going to get married in the future. She will be eighteen in three months, and that's the legal age for marriage." Zhao Rui scolded with a smile.
"Anyway, when you get married, a glass of wedding wine from me is indispensable." Xia Qun said with a chuckle.
"Of course." Zhao Rui scratched his head and said, "At that time, I will invite you all to a wedding banquet." There was a burst of booing in the cabin, obviously those lookouts, machine gunners, and telegraph operators were listening through the earphones. to their conversation.
"Captain, pay attention to the lower left, there seems to be something moving." The voice of Zhao Xiaowei, the machine gunner on the left, suddenly rang through the earphones.
The first thousand 280 chapters and seven ultra-low altitude escape
Hearing about the situation, Xia Qun quickly picked up the binoculars and looked in that direction. Even Zhao Rui was also observing with the binoculars.
"It seems to be a warship, the speed should exceed 28 knots." Xia Qun said.
"That's right, judging by the size, it should be a destroyer." Zhao Rui put down the binoculars and said, "Looking at the configuration on the deck, it should belong to the Saar Empire."
"Looks like we found a small fish, hehe." Xia Qun laughed.
"It doesn't matter, the little fish always wants to go home, we follow it, maybe there will be unexpected gains." Zhao Rui snapped the joystick, turned the nose of the aircraft and followed.In order not to let the other party find out, he carefully drove the plane, hid in the clouds, and secretly watched the destroyer hurrying on its way.
Zhao Rui guessed right, the destroyer hurrying down below was the Kokang of the Sardon Continental Fleet. It returned to the fleet after completing the anti-submarine escort mission and handing over the post to another destroyer.
The destroyer's anti-submarine circle was only [-] nautical miles, and it took only a while for the ship to reach its own fleet. "Hey, there are so many warships." Seeing the huge Saerdong Continental Fleet below, Xia Qun exclaimed.
"A total of three aircraft carriers, three battleships, 21 cruisers and [-] destroyers." After counting by the crew, detailed data was quickly obtained.
Listening to the collected data, Liu Rui exclaimed: "Hey, it's all here, let's shoot it." He didn't complain about the leader anymore, and now he feels that the leader is the cutest person, and will He sent to such a good place.
"Strafing? Think of it as a wooden boat. These battleships are so thickly armored that our [-]mm caliber machine guns are not even worthy of tickling them." Xia Qun said helplessly.
"Okay, then we'll go back and report." Liu Rui shook his head, as if he was dissatisfied with leaving without a fight.However, he is not a hot-headed person. Xia Qun's words are correct. If a seaplane strafes a large fleet, the end must be miserable.
The seaplane turned around and flew in the direction of the Andaman Islands. At the same time, the communicator began to send a report to his own base, reporting the exact position of the enemy.Soon the situation became critical as they were discovered.
When they heard the faint sound of motors in the sky, the Saar knew that a plane was approaching.The lookout posts immediately started searching, and after 10 minutes, they finally found the seaplane hidden in the clouds, looming.
"There is an enemy plane, he found us." Soon someone reported the situation to Cunningham, and he looked up at the sky with a smile on his face.
"The enemy plane is sending out a telegram signal, which seems to be reporting our situation." The staff officer seemed very anxious.
Lieutenant General Cunningham waved his hand lightly and said: "Let him report. I am trying to attract the main force of the Hualan Navy to fight with them in the Andaman Sea. If you don't come here, don't be rude. Take off two fighter jets and shoot him down for me."
"Oops, it was discovered." Seeing a fighter jet set sail from the aircraft carrier, Liu Rui was terrified. He immediately turned the nose and flew towards the Andaman Islands. Fighter support.
