Tune the Pacific

Chapter 429 Sea Battle Seven, One Sword Through Three Hearts

@@@@@@@

In the hazy night, a dark shadow passed under the warm sea, and the waves on the tail were particularly obvious on the sea, but when the shadow gradually disappeared under the water, the tail stream stopped abruptly like a song stuck in the neck.

The torpedo soldier Kezi found a bamboo stick and carefully checked the pressure value in the torpedo tube while forking the pineapple in the can. The milky yellow light on his head told him that it should be night now.

To be honest, it's really not a good job to carry it in this stuffy jar. Compared with those speeding partners on the sea, this kind of saying is really difficult. Sometimes it can't even distinguish between day and night, but it's also strange. Except for a few people, most of the partners choose to stay.

In the words of the captain, probably everyone has an assassin's dream in their hearts.

A man, a man, across thousands of miles, hiding in the sea, suffocated in this stuffy jar, waiting for the pleasure of the coldest sword!

Fortunately, the Longtail Shark, where he is located, has tasted this. As the fifth Grey Shark, he participated in the mission of blocking the British Far East Fleet in Hong Kong. He sent a large British armored cruiser to the bottom of the sea with two torpedoes, and finally received the Navy's gold medal, which can be regarded as a merit. The boat.

Up to now, when I think of the scene I saw in the periscope that day, the captain is talking endlessly, just like a long-talking woman.

According to the captain, he was not prepared to send submarine troops in this decisive battle. He only sent his assassins to Malacca for a ride, because dozens of capital ships could not help at all. The vortex brought by artillery shells and explosions alone could overturn such a little guy of only a few hundred tons.

But later, after the hydrological ship came back, he said that there were many islands in the Mingdawei Strait, and the reefs were dense. If the war was dragged until night, even the destroyer went in, he had to be careful. Therefore, in the end, the Admiralty sharks decided to let the six gray sharks ambush here now. If the main force dispersed the enemy into here, it would be submerged. The boat troops took over the night sniping.

Sniper.

Ke Zi likes this word, which is similar to an arrow piercing the heart.

As the most ordinary sailor, he didn't know how to discuss the plan above, but from the fact that he stepped on the boat a few months ago, this time was definitely a big deal. Just hearing that there were more than 60 ships before sailing, it made people stand out of the stars.

What is the concept of more than 60 ships? What's more, there are at least 30 big guys with more than 10,000 tons. What a deal! Pulling back to sell iron is enough to chew grain for several lifetimes.

Ke Zi twitched his nose and stuffed the last piece of sugar pineapple into his mouth. He only secretly begged the Bodhisattva in his heart. Don't finish the heavy ships with the gang of bastards above. The leftovers at six o'clock are not worth the torpedo money.

The same idea is also lingering in the heart of Captain Jin Hai. Although I got the news that 14 big guys came in, the problem is that the capital ship is still chasing all the way. In case I go to sea for half a month, I won't even drink soup...

"Bah!" Jin Hai snarted secretly and quickly broke up the bad idea in his heart.

In the periscope, there is still chaos. The stars in the sky are as bright as silver, and the sinking island shadow in the distance seems to be integrated into the darkness, which makes people unable to see him.

Not far away, it is the biggest enemy of the submarine. It is said that in order to solve this problem, the Admiralty is going to install a kind of equipment for the submarine to distinguish things by the ears, but that thing has to wait for a few years. At present, it still depends on this "one-eyed."

"No. 1 and No. 2 water cabinets begin to drain, left rudder five degrees, let's go up."

Probably enough by this vague sight, Jin Hai decided to go up and have a look, but at this moment, he didn't know that a fleet full of gunpowder was slowly coming along the island next to him.

In the bridge of the Victory, the officers were dejected. In just seven hours, there were only eleven warships left in the huge Russian fleet, which was considered invincible, and all of them were on. The most serious Petropavlovsk was blown up by a Xinhua Empire battleship that caught up soon after drilling out of the islands. Several secondary cannons on the side of the port, not to mention the right tilt of the deck, the speed suddenly dropped to 10 knots, and finally only relied on the dense island to dodge the chase.

The atmosphere is depressing and sad. What is that they have not yet escaped from each other's pursuit. Maybe the shells will fall again in the next second. The sad thing is that tens of thousands of partners are buried at the bottom of the sea. This feeling is beyond ordinary people's experience. They sailed 15,000 nautical miles and survived the difficult and tormenting six. For a month, he was blown up at the last moment when he was about to arrive at his destination.

What impressed these officers most was that they had not been able to pose a real threat to the other party from beginning to end. Although there was a near-lost bullet at the beginning, they were always bad, and the other party's kind of almost invincible, devastating and sweeping everything, which was chilling to think about it.

"Can I go back?"

This question lingers in everyone's mind. They looked at the acting commander Fuchsam, who had been sitting there for hours without giving an order, and the haze in their hearts became even more gloomy.

To be honest, except for the commander who became a rear admiral by relying on nepotism, no one wants to enter the Mingdawei Strait with dense reefs. Everyone would rather fight with their opponents than wait for the unknown fate here. Although the sound of gunfire in three hours is indeed far away, this is really not a good place, especially It is the Bato Islands that block the exit of the strait in front of them. It is crowded and narrow, which is no different from looking for death for a fleet in a strange environment.

But what can I do? The commander insisted on taking everyone in, because he thought he could reach the neutral port of Banda Aceh along the strait, but the question is, does Banda Aceh still dare to take in his own people at this moment?!

Several officers were a little overwhelmed in the dull atmosphere. They took out their cigars and went to the deck outside. The sailors sitting on the deck made them more uncomfortable. Fortunately, the slow sea breeze and strong Spanish cigars eased some of the pressure.

But they don't know what attracted when the cigar was lit and shimmered in the wind.

Jin Hai turned the periscope, and the field of vision after floating out of the water suddenly broadened. When the periscope turned left and right a few times, a little spark in the afterglow suddenly pierced his eyes like a cold star.

Jin Hai suddenly pointed the periscope at the place where Mars appeared. For a moment, when Mars flashed again, he was stunned!

Capital ship!

is a capital ship!

"Ten o'clock position, right rudder five degrees."

"1, 2 water cabinets to inject water, maintain the depth of the periscope."

"Send a telegram, twelve nautical miles southeast of Badu Island, one..., not three..., seven, God, it's all here!" Looking at one shadow after another appearing in the periscope, Jin Hai's eyes were congested. When the radio waves were sent out quickly, the Longtail Shark had disappeared on the sea, and even the communication buoy was taken back.

The lonely periscope brings out a small track. Maybe this track is very eye-worthy during the day, but now it's night. If it weren't for the idiot smoking on the warship 5,000 meters away, maybe he would have missed it because of the back of the island!

"Keep the depth at a speed of 10 knots."

"The torpedo cabin is ready."

"Prepare for battle."

Jin Hai suppressed his excitement and issued one order after another, but in fact, there was no need for orders. Even Ke Zi and other torpedo soldiers had already pulled out the hungry insurance latch on the torpedo and began to check it.

After handing over the periscope to the first mate, Jin Hai was in front of the chart, and he kept thinking about what to do. After all, these are fourteen capital ships, even one by one, the eight torpedoes of the Longtail Shark can't be finished.

Jin Hai took out a cigarette and took a bite. The nearest partners are more than ten nautical miles away, and it will take an hour to arrive at the earliest. The destroyer detachment is fast, but it will take at least half an hour, so "We must drag them!"

"Four thousand eight hundred meters."

"Four thousand and five hundred meters."

"Four thousand meters."

"..."

The voice of the first mate made the atmosphere in the Longtail Shark more and more tense. The already sultry air seemed to be more anxious. A drop of sweat dripped down everyone's forehead and cheeks and mixed with the seawater seeping into the deck.

Everyone looked at the captain. According to the improved spear fish laser range, it could be fully launched, but Jin Hai seemed to hear the report of the first mate. It was not until Jin Hai entered 3,000 meters that he suddenly ordered to slow down.

When he took the periscope from the first mate's hand again, the huge Russian [***] ship was almost attached to the periscope. Jin Hai took a deep breath, looked around and suddenly asked with a smile, "Damn, it's a bigger guy than last time. Are you ready?"

When everyone's eyes lit up, Jin Hai immediately lowered his voice and shouted, "No. 1 and No. 3 torpedoes are ready, set a depth of three meters, No. 2 and No. 4 are on standby, and start to pressurize."

Kezi pulled the switch hard, and the compressed air in the pipe quickly injected into the torpedo tube. When the pointer crossed the yellow and reached the red area, he closed the valve. At the same time, his comrade-in-arms had informed the back command module by phone that it was ready.

"Target 2, 800 meters, No. 1 and No. 3 torpedo launch, it's better to prepare against impact!"

With a soft bang, the body of the long-tailed shark shook, giving people a lightness as if they had thrown off the big burden. Two straight tracks also appeared in the periscope at the same time.

In order to ensure the hit, the submarine must use at least two torpedoes when attacking, and even shoot all four in extreme cases, because the torpedoes cannot turn, and the target is moving. Even at a speed of 40 knots of the spear, the distance of 3,000 meters takes about three minutes, so the advance amount must be calculated.

The long-tailed shark was silent, and everyone was waiting anxiously. Time seemed to freeze at that moment, and every second was as slow as a snail. Everyone clenched their fists, drop after drop after drop from the periscope, as if a sledgehammer hitting everyone's heart.

The first mate held the watch in his left hand and held the armrest next to him in his right hand. When the pointer circled two and a half times, he suddenly raised his head.

Boom...!

Two huge fireballs suddenly rose from the darkness. Only the targeted huge warship, like a rag doll, was rolled up by flames, and then suddenly fell on the sea, stirring up a water wall more than ten meters high.

Before the excitement passed, Jin Hai suddenly pulled down the periscope and hugged the armrest with both hands.

The Longtail Shark did not know who it had hit. In fact, the Russian fleet was also stunned by these two explosions. In fact, in the face of a perverted torpedo like the spear, the 13,000-ton second flagship Victory was not much better than the old Nicholas I. Except for thousands of tons of splashing, it was fundamentally There is no resistance.

But it was the extra thousands of tons of water that made the Jin Hai and the Longtail Shark suffer. The violent waves suddenly loaded the small submarine, pushed it out 100 meters horizontally, and even almost rolled the most dangerously.

After the shock wave passed, before everyone patted their clothes, there was a rumble of shelling on the sea. The violent explosion sounded around the Longtail Shark, making the submarine seem to have turned into a small samba on the top of the evil wave.

"Boom!"

A huge explosion suddenly exploded from the port side. The shaking of the distance made the submarine suddenly wolf. The two water pipes burst open, and the water column immediately rushed out of the break.

Seeing this, the first mate took off his sour coat and rushed up. Seeing this, the other sailors immediately took off their clothes and rushed up. At the same time, they quickly cut off the water pipe valve.

The increasingly violent explosion made the atmosphere more and more tense. The excitement just now had completely subsided. Jin Hai could even see the soldiers' blue faces and frightened eyes.

It must be changed!

Jin Hai took the handrail, walked to the chart, carefully calculated the formation position of the Russian fleet in his mind just now, and suddenly made a bold decision!

"Right rudder 5 degrees, dive, 35 meters, speed 10 knots!"

Many people are surprised by Jin Hai's decision. They don't understand why he is still leading the other party, but in fact, this is a very correct decision. As early as the blockade of Hong Kong more than three years ago, it is no secret that Xinhua has a submarine. The Russians also know this, so they immediately thought of it when they saw the sudden explosion of the Victory. These underwater demons.

But the problem is that the Russian fleet thought that the enemy would definitely leave immediately after a sneak attack. Unexpectedly, Jin Hai was so bold that he plunged into the belly of the fleet.

As the depth scale of diving on the compass became larger and larger, the steel began to make a sour creak. The sailors who had just blocked the water pipe became nervous again. Although the maximum diving depth of the gray shark in the test could reach 40 meters, everyone knows that as the depth increased, the pressure around it began to suddenly As it increases, the danger becomes greater and greater.

Fortunately, the long-tailed shark withstood the pressure. When the depth reached 36 meters, the explosion around it began to gradually lighten, and then gradually faded under the tense beating heart.

Twenty minutes later, Jin Hai ordered to float again. When the periscope popped out of the sea again, his eyes were congested again. He didn't expect that his 10-kone speed was like a snail, the Russian fleet was slower, and their gunfire was constantly extending into the distance, and the whole fleet was like an explosion of a beehive. .

"No. 1 and No. 3 torpedo tubes are loaded." With red eyes, he immediately began to order.

"Prepare No. 2 and No. 4!"

When Ke Zi took everyone to stuff two heavy spears into the launch tube again, Jin Hai had already chosen the target. It was a big guy with a tilted deck.

"Left rudder 15 degrees, 1,800 meters."

"Prepare..."

"Launch of No. 2 and No. 4!"

This time, Jin Haixue was obedient. Without looking at whether he hit the target, he immediately ordered to turn right and dive. When the explosion came from the sea again two minutes later, the long-tailed shark had already slipped to the side.

The violent waves deflected the Longtail Shark nearly 100 meters again. Even Jin Hai himself did not know where he was. He only heard the rumbling sound of the steam engine ringing above his head and licked his lips again.

And the sailors on the side were also driven crazy by the crazy captain, and even forgot the situation under the enemy's belly at this moment. They clenched their fists and blushed, and they all nodded hard to Jin Hai.

Kill again!

"Go up and get ready for the periscope."

"No. 1, No. 3 torpedo tube ready."

"No. 2, No. 4 begins to load."

"Pay attention to the impact!"

When the Longtail Shark fell into madness, the remaining Russian fleet was at a loss. In just ten minutes, two capital ships were lost, so that the remaining Russian sailors even saw a shadow. The heavy gasp mixed with the violent shelling made everyone fall into despair.

Sometimes, soldiers are not afraid of the enemy coming from the front, and even willing to be to be torn up by a capital ship shell, but this scene of lurking around them, like a deep-sea ghost, constantly pulling their partners down to the bottom of the sea, is enough to make everyone's backs cold.

The Warrior is like a mad dog. On this Russian self-built 6,600-ton cruiser, which is even called a great progress by Britain, all the guns have been fired. The frightened soldiers have long forgotten the order. They only know that they must send out all the shells to relieve the tension in their hearts.

The captain shouted for a ceasefire, but no one could hear those voices. The fiery sound of cannons rushed to the virtual opponents in the distance like raindrops. The soldiers who had never experienced submarine warfare did not know how to deal with it at all.

When the sailors who followed the formation at the stern of the last cruiser shouted in horror, it was all over.

6,600 tons of bodies were thrown up fiercely, and hundreds of sailors were directly shaken away. The bodies, barrel and parts were smashed on the sea like hail falling from a hurricane.

Countless searchlights aimed at the Long-tailed Shark, which was urgently diving. When the muzzle was about to spin, the roar of the cannon finally came from the distance.

At eleven o'clock sharp, the recent arrival of the Dandong finally saved the life of the Longtail Shark. The remnants of the Russian fleet immediately transferred the muzzle. Perhaps for the sailors, it was always better to face the visible target than the invisible devil.

When Jin Hai retreated with the Longtail Shark in the rumble of gunfire, he did not realize that he was confused, ignorant, did not know how to deal with submarines, the Russian fleet shrouded in fear and other reasons to help him, and completed the feat of hunting three capital ships at a time in history!

So much so that such a sentence was engraved on the statue in front of the building of the Xinhua Naval Department.

"They, one sword through three hearts!"
