s: This chapter is posted a little late, sorry.
Eight Type 903 "Seal-class" ocean-going attack submarines were like hunting wolves, quietly following the Italian-Austrian fleet.
Of course, China has more submarines going to the Mediterranean this time, but the other submarines are performing tasks elsewhere, and now only these eight can keep up.
Submarine No. 045.
"Start assigning targets now," Commodore Han Fengyu, commander of the submarine force, stared at the diplomatic image displayed on the screen and issued the order.
We are now about twelve kilometers away from the opponent, which is the optimal attack distance.
Han Fengyu is now a commodore, the commander of the first submarine column of the Pacific Fleet, and the commander of all submarines this time.
The periscope of Chinese submarines has long been equipped with the function of a camera, which can be connected to a display screen so that everyone can watch it together, without the officers having to crowd around the periscope.
Moreover, there are cameras installed in four directions, so you can observe the surroundings without even turning.
Soon, with the assistance of computers, all submarines prepared their respective targets according to orders and entered the target parameters into the torpedo guidance system.
However, since the two sides are now in a massacre, and coupled with the position of the submarines themselves, only six submarines can launch torpedoes.
After all, it is a joint operation between the navies of several countries.
The Chinese Navy's current "Fish 2" wire-guided passive audio torpedo can distinguish the voiceprint characteristics of its own ships, but it has not yet reached the level of being able to distinguish the voiceprints of friendly forces.
In case of a British, French or It would be embarrassing if my brother's ship was attacked.
Moreover, when approaching the target, signals need to be continuously input for adjustment.
At this time, the submarine can only move forward and cannot maneuver.
This requires ensuring its own safety and preventing the opponent from discovering it, so the position is still very important.
"Launch" After receiving the reply that each boat was ready, Han Fengyu issued the attack order.
"Launch", "launch" The six submarines launched four torpedoes on the bow of the ship at their respective targets. 20 torpedoes dragged the wires and rushed towards the target at a speed of 50 knots.
More than ten minutes later, the torpedo came within 1,000 meters of the target.
The torpedo severed the wire, activated the passive sonar, and switched to autopilot mode.
A few seconds later, the torpedo followed the guidance of the sonar and headed towards the source of the loudest sound.
A series of explosions suddenly sounded among the Allied ships that were fighting fiercely with the British and French fleets, and more than a dozen water columns suddenly appeared on the sea.
An Italian destroyer that was firing suddenly jumped up, as if it was kicked by an invisible giant.
The middle part arched upward, and then fell heavily back to the sea.
Then, it made a heartbreaking sound of metal breaking and split into two pieces in full view of everyone.
At the same time, the three pre-dreadnought battleships of the Austro-Hungarian Empire: Herzog Franz Ferdinand, Radetzky, and Zliny, as well as St.
István and Taghof, Four Italian dreadnoughts, including the Giulio Caesar and the Leonardo da Vinci, as well as two temporary aircraft carriers and several light ships that escorted them, were also targeted.
"No, it's a torpedo submarine from the Allied Powers.
There are submarines behind us.
Let the light ships go anti-submarine quickly."
The Duke of Abruzzi reacted immediately.
He quickly ordered the light ships that formed an air defense formation around the battleship to go behind and conduct anti-submarine warfare.
Now his claws are paralyzed.
The Allies can now launch a three-dimensional offensive.
There are a large group of aircraft in the sky, a large number of warships on the sea, and there are still an unknown number of submarines under the sea.
This round of attacks made the Allied Powers worry about the head but not the tail.
The Allied Powers' fleet was immediately exploded and the formation was in chaos.
"It was the Chinese submarine that torpedoed it, hahaha," Admiral Milne, commander of the British Mediterranean Fleet, exclaimed excitedly.
Just now, the British fleet was overwhelmed by the Italian and Austrian battleships on the opposite side.
In the past ten minutes, the British lost four more pre-dreadnoughts: the Duncan, the Albemarle, the Formidable and the Indomitable. , the No Rao, the London, the Majestic, and the Queen were seriously damaged.
The Prince of Wales and the Edward VII also sustained considerable damage.
The British now really feel how fragile the fleet without super-dreadnoughts is, especially when the opponent has super-dreadnoughts, it is simply a defeat.
Of course, the British artillery fire also hit the opponent, but the effect was not great.
The 12-inch naval guns are really inadequate against the armor of dreadnoughts and super-dreadnoughts.

While Milne was in a panic, the Chinese submarine showed off its power, causing chaos in the opponent's position.
Now he can finally breathe a little easier.
The British Navy is worthy of being the number one navy that has ruled the earth's oceans for hundreds of years.
They quickly took advantage of the opponent's chaos to reorganize their formation, let the seriously injured ships leave the battle line, and let the armored patrols behind them come up and carry them with them.
The light ships continued to charge towards each other.
Submarine No. 045.
"Twenty-two out of twenty-four, Commander Han," the combat staff shouted happily.
With a hit rate of 91, this score is difficult to achieve even in training.
"Hey, it's a pity that the position was not good and I couldn't hit their super-dreadnought."
Han Fengyu touched his chin with some unfulfilled thoughts, and soon he said happily: "However, it is already very good to hit four dreadnoughts."
"Commander Han, six enemy ships are approaching us at high speed," the sonar sergeant reported.
"Turn immediately, dive, and retreat."
The eight submarines immediately greased their soles, turned around and ran away.
Submarines are assassins hiding in the dark.
The right way is to escape with one strike.
Only if you are stupid will you confront someone head-on.
Just when the Italian and Austrian fleets were in chaos when they were attacked by submarines, the battle in the air gradually decided the winner.
In front of opponents who were a generation ahead, the Italian and Austrian fighter planes were beaten to pieces.
They began to chase each other, but no matter the dive speed, level flight speed or climbing speed, they were not as good as their opponents.
He was quickly thrown away by the opponent, and then dived again.
In order to better deal with these hanging boots biting behind them, Chinese fighter planes adopted a cross-dive method.
They dived down in groups of two to deal with each other's enemy planes behind each other.
Now the Italian and Austrian fighter planes were even worse, and the losses were even greater than before.
After the Chinese fighters followed suit four times in a row, there were only about twenty Italian-Austrian fighters left in the sky.
Afterwards, these planes were so frightened that they peed.
Some of them abandoned the warships they were protecting, dispersed in a crowd, flew towards the land, and fled the battlefield.
There were also some brave pilots who rushed towards the Chinese attack fleet regardless, preparing to pull some backers.
However, the Chinese fighter planes would not just watch and ignore the escaping ones.
They quickly caught up with the enemy planes who were ready to fight, and easily killed them behind them.
After taking care of the Italian and Austrian fighter planes, the Chinese attack aircraft group hovering nearby and waiting immediately began to attack targets on the sea.
Each of the eight squadrons of dive attack aircraft focused on a target and began to prepare for the dive.
The six torpedo squadrons also set their own goals.
"Huhuhuhu" 144 dive attack aircraft rushed towards their respective targets in turn.
"Da da da" The Italian and Austrian warships, which had already been prepared for air defense, fired desperately at these ill-intentioned aircraft.
However, in the previous battle, the anti-aircraft firepower of the Italian-Austrian battleships was also greatly weakened.
Although the 12-inch naval guns of the British did little damage to these dreadnoughts and super-dreadnoughts, that only refers to the highly protected parts of the hull, command tower and main gun tower.
Places like the superstructure and anti-aircraft artillery are not protected by armor, and they cannot withstand 12-inch naval guns.
At the same time, torpedo bombers also began to take action.
Because China used guided torpedoes with a range of 7 kilometers, they did not need to face the silhouette of the ship like their counterparts at this time, and they had to shorten the distance to 2000.
The torpedoes were launched within 1,000 meters or even 1,000 meters away.
The tactics of Chinese torpedo bombers have very low positioning requirements.
They do not need to face the silhouette of the enemy ship with the strongest firepower.
Therefore, they usually break in from the front and rear where the firepower is relatively weak, and they are usually dropped about five kilometers away from the opponent. , so it is much safer than our counterparts in other countries.
It was the same at this time.
The dive attack aircraft in the sky had just started to dive, and the torpedo bombers here had already flown close to the sea to a distance of four to five kilometers from the enemy ships, and then dropped aerial torpedoes one after another, and then quickly turned away.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom," 144 aerial bombs fell like raindrops, creating a series of explosions in the Italian-Austrian fleet.
To make matters worse, before the dive bombing was over, aerial torpedoes also arrived. 108 torpedoes hit the target hard at a speed of 47 knots When this wave of air strikes ended, the Italian-Austrian fleet had been blown to pieces, and none of the six temporary aircraft carriers were spared.
They were either sinking or capsizing, or they were ignited in flames and lost their combat effectiveness.
All the battleships were damaged, the most unlucky being Herzog Franz Ferdinand and Radetzky.
After being continuously attacked by submarines and aircraft, they had basically lost their combat effectiveness, and the French saw the opportunity.
France and Paris happily rushed over with rifles, and fired the two pre-dreadnoughts in a random manner. sea.
The heavily damaged HMS United Forces was besieged by two Lord Nelson-class ships of the Royal Navy, and sank into the sea in great frustration, becoming the first dreadnought to be sunk by a pre-dreadnought in this battle.
Of course, it didn't have to feel lonely.
Ten minutes later, the Italian Leonardo da Vinci was severely damaged and turned upside down under the siege of three Edward VII-class ships.
The super-dreadnought ship Queen Elizabeth is probably the most aggrieved.
After being hit by 8 aerial bombs and 5 aerial torpedoes, it was seriously injured and seriously flooded.
At this time, several British cruise ships rushed over with a group of destroyers to add insult to injury.
They fired 42 torpedoes and hundreds of artillery shells of various calibers at the immobilized super-dreadnought ship, making it extremely unwilling.
Sinking to the bottom of the ocean.
"Buzz buzz" Just when the British and French fleets were beating the drowned dogs, the roar of engines sounded in the air again, and the British and French fighter planes finally arrived.
At this time, only the Allied launchers and some fighter jets were left in the sky.
The British and French naval commanders were overjoyed and immediately began firing at the following batch of injured enemy ships.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom."
At this time, the familiar roar of heavy artillery came from the rear of the Italian-Austrian fleet.
China's battleships have taken a circuitous route and are playing the role of "iron hammer" to attack the "iron material" of the Italian and Austrian fleet.
Under attack from three sides, front, rear and in the air, the seriously injured Italian-Austrian fleet could not withstand it at all, and ships continued to become members of the "Deep Sea Fleet".
"It's over, the Royal Italian Navy is over."
The Commander of the Allied Combined Fleet, Duke Abruzzi, closed his eyes in pain.
His ship Andrea Doria, as a super-dreadnought, has naturally become the focus of HNA's care.
It had successively eaten 21 aerial bombs and 5 aerial torpedoes from Chinese and British and French fighter planes, and was now paralyzed on the sea.
The other capital ships of Italy and Austria were not much better.
The United Empire, which was in the best condition, had its two front main guns blown up, greatly reducing its combat effectiveness and reducing its speed to 10 knots.
As for the light ships, after several waves of three-dimensional offensives, few were floating on the sea, and the rest were all injured.
The Italian-Austrian fleet is now desperate.
"Hey, surrender."
The Duke of Abruzzi sighed in great pain and gave the order to surrender.
Fighting at this time would be a waste of human lives.
At least the seeds of the Navy must be saved.
This is what the veteran wants.
Although the Italian Navy has much higher quality than the Army, they are also Italians.
Although the Italian family skill of "surrender" is not used as frequently as the Army, it is still quite skilled.
As soon as the superior officer gave the order, they immediately raised the white flag as quickly as possible, and at the same time used light signals to signal "surrender" to the Allied fleet.
They also used the radio to shout on the public channel: "Stop fighting, we surrender, stop fighting."
We surrendered" "What enemy surrendered?"
Seeing the enemy's surrender signal, Gao Yujie was stunned for a moment, and then immediately ordered: "Hurry up and order the ships to get close to the enemy ships and accept the surrender."
The ships of China, Britain and France made the same move almost at the same time, approaching the remaining ships of Italy and Austria at full speed.
Among them, the Regulus rushed towards the nearest flagship of the Italian-Austrian fleet, the Andrea Doria, at a high speed of 27 knots.
"Captain, there is a British patrol ship ahead, it seems to be the Defender, it is also approaching the target, just blocking us," the navigator called.
"Damn it, everyone wants to go together."
Li Ang's eyes were red, and he said viciously: "You horse-riding man, don't care, just bump him over and see if he lets you go."

The Defender armored cruiser was slowly approaching the Andrea Doria flying a white flag.
Looking at the prey in front of him, the captain smiled so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth.
Damn, this is a super-dreadnought ship.
Although it was badly beaten, it can be used after being dragged back and repaired.
Capturing a super-dreadnought is an unbelievable feat.
Maybe, he will become the captain of this super-dreadnought.
While the captain of the Defender was having sex, the first mate suddenly screamed.
"No, China's super-dreadnought ship is ramming towards us." "" The captain turned around and couldn't help cursing, right?
He saw a Fuxi-class super-dreadnought ship crashing into it aggressively.
Now there was only less than 5 kilometers away, but the opponent still didn't slow down at all.
Or it means changing the course.
If I continue to get closer to the Andrea Doria, I will definitely have a close contact with it.
"Oh, God, these barbaric Chinese told them to change course, damn it."
The captain's face turned green with anger.
Of course he understood that the Chinese were here to grab the spoils of war.
After a while, the first mate reported back with an ugly face: "Captain, the other party replied that their battleship is out of control and cannot be operated.
Let us avoid it."
At this time, the captain also saw that the signal flag "Our ship is out of control and cannot be operated, please avoid" has been hoisted on the Xuanyuan opposite.
He couldn't help but cursed: "The battleship is out of control and cannot be operated.
Damn these shameless people." something” "What should we do, Captain?"
the first mate was sweating.
"Damn, let's turn around.
Every battleship in the Royal Navy is valuable now.
We can't accompany them crazy."
After thinking about it, the captain decided to give up this cooked duck.
There is no way, if the cruiser collides with the super-dreadnought, it will almost certainly suffer a loss, and it still uses its own side to meet the opponent's bow.
If it is unlucky, it may be hit and sunk.
The Defender had no choice but to turn around reluctantly.
"Detachment leader, the British ship has turned."
There was a cheer on the Xuanyuan.
"I saw it."
Li Ang was actually sweating.
He was also betting.
If the other party really refused to give in, it would be a situation where both parties would suffer.
Ten minutes later, the Regulus stopped next to the Andrea Doria, put down the traffic boat as quickly as possible, and rowed towards the target.
Li Ang looked up to the sky and smiled: "Hahaha, I captured a super-dreadnought ship."
After the Allied fleet surrendered, China, Britain and France began a graceless robbery, using all means except not to fire at each other.
There is nothing we can do about it.
There is no agreement on how to divide the spoils.
Basically, whoever gets it gets it.
How can you be polite?
According to the final statistics, in this rush, China grabbed two super-dreadnoughts, the United Empire and the Andrea Doria, and three dreadnoughts, the United Forces, Prinz Eugen and Giulio Caesar, and gained the most.
Followed by the British, they grabbed the super-dreadnought ship Caio Duilio, the USS Giulio Caesar and the USS Santo Istvan.
The French grabbed the USS Union Force and the Count of Cavour, and two more.
Fearless ahead of the ship.

"Damn, these French guys are so fast," Gao Yujie said with some indignation.
No matter what, the British exerted their utmost effort.
It is not a big problem to divide it a little.
It is also understandable that the Gallic chicken did not contribute much.
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter.
At least half of the ships they grabbed are not worth repairing," Liu Haifeng said with a smile
