Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

The two torpedoes just fired were like a signal, marking the official start of the Daxia Empire's attack on Millican. It also indicated that the Daxia Empire had officially fired the first shot.

In Lin Yi's words, since you have decided to fight, you should use the power of thunder to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

So, all of a sudden, a lot of silver waves appeared on the sea.

At this time, even the most unresponsive people knew they were under attack.

And if you think along this line of thinking, you will know who attacked them.

In less than a minute, a series of explosions sounded, and a large number of fireballs appeared outside the Milician Pacific Fleet.

Not only inside the port, but also at the entrance and exit of the port, several battleships were hit and began to tilt.

The American soldiers who were still preparing for the New Year the next day were running in the port one by one.

As they ran, they shouted loudly, shouting, "The Daxia people are coming."

Lieutenant General Charles Frederick Hughes' face was ashen. He had just received an early warning from Washington two minutes ago, reminding him that America had entered a state of war with Daxia and asking him to be careful.

As a result, he had just received the early warning message, and the Daxia people's attack had arrived.

What does this mean? It shows that the people of Daxia have already planned it. They even drove the warship into their own faces before declaring war on Milician.

"A bunch of sad East Asian monkeys! I will make you pay the price!" Charles slammed the window sill in front of him.

He had just seen from the flames of the explosion that the Daxia people should have used submarines to attack, and there were quite a few of them.

Although the submarine's attack is concealed, it also has a fatal flaw, that is, all torpedoes can only attack in a straight line, and cannot cross the ship in front and attack the ship in the rear.

This means that only the outermost ring of warships in the Pacific Fleet will be damaged.

Although such a loss would also cause great losses to the Pacific Fleet, relying on the industrial strength of America, it would only take a year and a half to recover.

Even the Congressmen who feel threatened will approve more shipbuilding plans.

Therefore, Charles is not very worried about the magnitude of the losses now. What you want to do now is to drive out all these damn submarines, and then lead the remaining Pacific Fleet to Malacca to join John's fleet and tie down the Daxia people. .

As long as he can delay it for a year and a half, he is confident that relying solely on the number of battleships will make the people of Daxia feel desperate.

But will the truth really be what Charles thinks?

How could Lin Yi make the same mistake that Sakura made before?

Although the sneak attack on Oahu this time was not a plane but a battleship battle, Lin Yi also did not want to give Millijan a chance to make a comeback.

Qiu Shutong has shouted for launch countless times now. He felt his voice was a little hoarse.

Many of the warships docked at the berths have sunk, leaving only a tall mast exposed on the sea.

But Qiu Shutong knew that the warships sunk and damaged by them now accounted for only one-fifth of the total number of American Pacific Fleets, or even lower.

And because of the angle problem, Qiu Shutong's torpedoes were unable to attack the warships behind the wreckage.

"Report! Our torpedoes are empty!"

Just when Qiu Shutong was still thinking and mechanically shouting "Launch", these words suddenly came out from the microphone next to him.

"What, the torpedoes are finished?" Qiu Shutong was stunned, and he felt a little unbelievable.

"Shu Tong, we have launched almost 24 rounds of torpedoes. Our submarine has carried so many torpedoes in total." The first mate looked bitterly at the side.

"Already 24 rounds?" Qiu Shutong finally realized that 24 rounds of torpedoes had been fired.

According to two torpedoes in one round, there are 24 torpedoes in 48 rounds.

The submarines currently equipped by Daxia only have a total of 48 bombs, because the submarines were designed from the beginning only to attack enemy transport ships or carry out sneak attacks.

In other words, submarines are used for sneak attacks, not for strong attacks.

Although Qiu Shutong and the others achieved significant results in Pearl Harbor on Oahu this time, it also reflected the shortcomings of the submarine's lack of ammunition.

Actually, it cannot be said that submarines have less ammunition. After all, submarines are not supposed to do this job.

However, Qiu Shutong didn't care about this now. What he was worried about now was when his main fleet would arrive!

Because they really have no ammunition, and they have no ability to resist.

Once there is a fire gap on your side, no matter how stupid the enemy is, they will know that they have no ammunition.

Then their next move is to either send destroyers or anti-submarines to hunt down their own submarines, or to find a way to escape from Oahu.

No matter which one it was, Qiu Shutong had no way to stop it. He even said that if Milician chose to hunt, their submarines would most likely be wiped out.

Originally, submarines were at a disadvantage in a contest with anti-submarines. What's more, they now even have empty torpedoes.

If they really encounter anti-submarines and destroyers at this time, then they can wait to die.

After all, neither speed nor protection can match the opponent. What else can he do if he doesn't wait to die?

"Shu Tong, we should retreat!" the first mate came to Qiu Shutong's side and said softly.

When Qiu Shutong heard what the first mate said, he felt very unwilling, but what could he do if he was unwilling?

Qiu Shutong glanced at all the sailors in the command room. The battle just now gave them some breathing space.

But these people were all looking at Qiu Shutong, and they were all waiting for Qiu Shutong's order.

Qiu Shutong actually didn't know what he was hesitating about, but he was very unwilling in his heart.

Because, according to the original plan, he led the submarine force to attack Pearl Harbor, and the main force of the Yinglong fleet should arrive at the outskirts of Oahu and cooperate with them to launch an attack on the fleet in the port.

But it is obvious that the attacking rhythm is out of touch now.

Qiu Shutong took a deep breath before finally issuing the order.

"Send a signal to the other boats and we will withdraw!"

This sentence was almost shouted by Qiu Shutong through gritted teeth.

Since there is no ammunition, even if they continue to stay here, it will have no effect. On the contrary, it will increase the possibility of casualties on their side.

Qiu Shutong now had to consider that if the attack was disjointed, the main force of Yinglong's fleet would arrive late.

These Milician Pacific Fleets ran away or left the port to fight with the Yinglong Fleet, causing serious damage to the Yinglong Fleet. Then the later task of destroying the Milician West Coast Shipyard and protecting the imperial waters would fall on themselves.

In this case, the empire's only 24 submarines cannot suffer too many losses.

Therefore, Qiu Shutong could only ensure the safety of his own submarine as much as possible.
