The end of the military era

And after this naval battle, the Three Kingdoms of Golden Lion, Red Tiger, and Black Bear will not let it go.

In addition, the Silver Wolf Empire sent a secret message, intending to cooperate with our Bull Empire to recover the country, so the war mobilization of our Bull Empire can begin now. "

"Great, with the participation of the Silver Wolf Empire, the connection between the Han and Tang Empire and New Wilk Province can be completely blocked.

Governor, our War Department will immediately start mobilizing for war and prepare to recover New Wilk Province! "

Chapter 221 The Hunting Feast at the Seabed

When the Longjing Island naval battle entered the night battle mode, the submarine formation of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet also joined the battlefield.

At this time, the navy of the Golden Lion Empire and the navy of the Red Tiger Empire already possessed submarines, but this time the navies of the two countries did not send submarines to join the joint escort fleet.

In addition, the Golden Lion Navy and the Red Tiger Navy have increased their investment in anti-submarine technology because of their fear of the submarine force of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet. Now the anti-submarine technology of the Golden Lion Navy and the Red Tiger Navy has been greatly improved, and they have even developed A sound detection device for detecting underwater targets, which can also be called sonar.

The light cruisers and destroyers of the Golden Lion Navy and Red Tiger Navy are basically equipped with sonar, and are also equipped with a large number of depth charges.

As a result, the submarine formation of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet did not achieve much results in the attack on the Golden Lion Navy and the Red Tiger Navy in the joint escort fleet, and instead suffered a lot of losses.

However, the navy of the Black Bear Empire did not pay much attention to the new warships such as submarines. Not only did they not invest in the development of submarines, but they did not develop sonar that could search for submarines underwater. They only equipped some light cruisers and destroyers with some deep water bomb.

This allowed the submarine formation of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet to launch a seabed killing feast against the Black Bear Navy in the night battle.

Inside a "Ghost III" class submarine numbered 88, Zhang Donghua, the commander of the submarine formation of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, held a telegram in his hand and said to Sun Bo, the captain of the 88 submarine: "As expected, as we expected. , the Golden Lion Navy and Red Tiger Navy equipped with sonar are no longer easily attacked by our submarine formation.

Send a telegram to the first and second teams and tell them to retreat!

If you continue to fight hard, both the first team and the second team will have to pay. "

At present, the submarine formation of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet has a total of four teams, of which the first and second teams are equipped with a total of 7 "Ghost" class submarines and 68 "Ghost II" class submarines.

The third and fourth teams of the submarine formation are all the latest "Ghost III" class submarines.

Zhang Tiefeng, the chief submarine designer of Ganyang Shipyard, listened to Zhou Rui's opinions, and designed the "Ghost III" class submarine with a full-load displacement of 1080 tons on the water and a full-load displacement of 1270 tons underwater.

Installed with 10 diesel engines, the maximum speed on the water is 17 knots, the maximum underwater speed is 11 knots, and the maximum diving depth is 180 meters. It is equipped with 4 500mm torpedo tubes, which can carry 20 torpedoes. The crew is 38 people. .

The Ghost III class submarines are also equipped with sonar, and are also equipped with submarine snorkel devices that can extend the voyage.

Both sonar and submarine snorkel devices were developed through the ideas provided by Zhou Rui.

As soon as Zhang Donghua finished speaking, Sun Ke, the chief mate of the No. 88 submarine, shouted, "Zhang Zhi, captain, a big guy is found ahead!"

When Zhang Donghua heard this, he said directly to Captain Sun Bo: "You go to report to the first and second teams first, and I will take over your command!"

Hearing the words, Captain Sun Bo couldn't help but muttered in his heart: After finally encountering such a big battle, it seems that I, the captain, can only fight.

Zhang Donghua quickly walked to the position of the periscope. Through the periscope, Zhang Donghua saw a giant ship of nearly 500 meters about 200 to [-] meters away.

Although the sky had already darkened, due to some burning warships around, Zhang Donghua immediately recognized that this huge ship was either a battleship with full main guns or a battlecruiser. It really was a big guy!

"The bow is 15 degrees to the right! No. 1 and No. 2 torpedo tubes should be filled with water immediately!" Zhang Donghua ordered loudly.

After Zhang Donghua's order was issued, the officers and soldiers in the No. 88 submarine immediately became busy.

Soon the first officer, Sun Ke, reported to Zhang Donghuahui: "Zhang Zhi, the bow of the ship has been turned 15 degrees to the right!

No. 1 and No. 2 torpedo tubes are filled with water and can be launched at any time! "

"Torpedo No. 1 and No. 2 launched!" Zhang Donghua ordered the attack without hesitation.

"tom tom"

After the two 2mm steam gas torpedoes were fired from the torpedo tubes, they quickly drilled to the surface of the sea, forming two white waves, and rushed towards the giant ship 500 to 500 meters away.

This giant ship is the full main gun battleship of the Black Bear Empire Royal Navy Magma. The Magma belongs to the Spitfire class full main gun battleship and is the latest full main gun battleship of the Black Bear Empire.

Spitfire-class full main gun battleship, with a full load displacement of 37800 tons and a maximum speed of 21 knots, it is equipped with 5 double-mounted 45mm main guns of 380 times the caliber.

Under the cover of night, two 2mm steam gas torpedoes all hit the port side armor of the battleship Magma with full main guns, opening two large holes.

Although the Magma battleship with full main guns did not sink immediately, the turbulent sea water quickly poured into the Magma's hull from two large holes, which quickly tilted the Magma.

The No. 88 submarine of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet then made up two more knives and fired two 2mm steam gas torpedoes at the battleship Magma with full main guns, and all of them hit the targets, allowing the full main gun battleship Magma to be armored on the port side. The number of large holes has been increased to 500.

About 20 minutes later, the heavily flooded Magma battleship with full main guns overturned, and soon disappeared completely on the sea.

88号潜艇接下来，又对黑熊帝国的，1艘神像级全主炮战列舰、1艘无悔级全主炮战列舰、1艘迅猛级战列巡洋舰和1艘大型装甲巡洋舰发动了攻击。

In the end, the three all-main-gun battleships and one battlecruiser were all sunk, except that one of the Idol-class all-main-gun battleships sank after being damaged by the No. 3 submarine, and then was shot by a 1 mm The shell hit the ammunition compartment, and it sank after a martyrdom explosion.

The fourth squadron of the submarine formation of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet was not dispatched to the coast of the Barbarian Empire. The submarine formation participating in the night battle tonight only had the first, second, and third squadrons.

The third team of the submarine formation of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet participated in the night battle tonight, with a total of 48 "Ghost III" class submarines, and the results achieved were quite brilliant.

以自身损失14艘“幽灵Ⅲ”级潜艇的代价，击沉了黑熊海军16艘全主炮战列舰、13艘海王级战列巡洋舰、9艘全钢制战列舰、8艘大型装甲巡洋舰、12艘轻巡洋舰和7艘驱逐舰，并且还重伤了几十艘黑熊海军的战舰。

Even the flagship of the Black Bear Navy, the Spitfire, was sunk by a torpedo launched by a "Ghost III" class submarine.

Before the full main gun battleship of the Spitfire sank, Gert, the commander of the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Black Bear Empire, and the captain of the Spitfire, Viktor, and more than 500 bear officers and soldiers of the Spitfire, were safe. Transferred to a large armored cruiser.

Under the joint attack of the submarine formation of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet and the First Battle Group, at four o'clock in the morning on January 1545, 1, the Black Bear Navy, which suffered extremely heavy losses, could no longer hold on.

Gert looked at the few pieces of paper held in the hands of the captain of the Spitfire, and asked with a solemn expression: "How many warships do we have left that can continue to fight?"

Spitfire captain Vichido said with a wry smile: "Commander, the fight was really terrible.

截止到10分钟之前，主力舰只剩下6艘喷火级全主炮战列舰、22艘神像级全主炮战列舰、2艘无悔级全主炮战列舰、4艘约束级全主炮战列舰、4艘迅猛级战列巡洋舰和14艘海王级战列巡洋舰，还能继续作战。

In addition, there are 9 all-steel battleships, 14 large armored cruisers, 39 light cruisers and 53 destroyers, which can also continue to fight.

There are about dozens of warships seriously injured and out of combat effectiveness, and the other warships have sunk. "

要知道黑熊海军这次加入联合护航舰队的军舰，可是有120艘全主炮战列舰、60艘战列巡洋舰、50艘全钢制战列舰、50艘大型装甲巡洋舰、140艘轻巡洋舰和180艘驱逐舰，实力还是很强的。

But in less than a day and a night, the Black Bear Navy had already lost almost two-thirds of its strength, which was simply unacceptable to Commander Gert.

"I didn't expect that we would suffer such a big loss in front of those small submarines.

After returning to China, I must suggest that the Ministry of the Navy develop our own submarines of the Black Bear Empire, as well as the sonar for searching submarines under the water surface. "Gert said a little sadly.

"Commander, what shall we do next?

Even with the addition of the warships sent by the Golden Lion and Red Tiger navies to support it, it will be difficult for us to resist the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet on the opposite side. "

Commander Gert suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Just now, if the Golden Lion and Red Tiger navies could send more light cruisers and destroyers equipped with sonar to support us, then we would not have been beaten so badly.

Since they are not benevolent, don't blame me for not being loyal.
