Chapter 1021 Submarine Shows Off Its Power

At this time, three ghosts lurking in the water had approached the British Navy, but the British army had no idea.

They never thought that danger would come from the bottom of the sea.

"What is that, a big fish?"

When a mine launched from a submarine hit the Jersey, some soldiers on the Jersey even suspected that it was a big fish.

However, soon a huge explosion sounded.

The middle part of the Jersey suddenly bulged, followed by a huge explosion, which almost blew the entire battleship into two pieces.

But it was almost over, water poured in crazily from the gap, and the Jersey began to roll over.

Not to mention whether it can be saved, even if it is saved, this battleship is already scrapped.

As for the soldiers on the ship, most of them were killed or injured in the explosion. Most of those who were lucky enough to survive were seriously injured and could do nothing but wait for rescue.

Moreover, there is a high probability that they will not be able to wait for that moment.

"what happened?"

The huge explosion and the huge plume of smoke drew many people's attention to the tragic situation of the Jersey.

However, what they don't understand is how did the Jersey become like this and what kind of attack did it suffer?

The Chinese army's artillery shells cannot produce this effect.

With the power of the main guns of the Yangzhou and Suzhou, it would be impossible to sink the Jersey without seven or eight shells.

Sometimes, a naval battle seems fierce, but the losses of the battleships on both sides are usually very small.

Just like in the Battle of Jutland, both sides participated in the battle with 250 warships. The battle lasted a whole day, and the total battle losses were only 25 ships, a battle loss of 10%.

Moreover, only cruisers, frigates, and torpedo ships were sunk, and almost no core battleships were sunk.

Because it is not easy to sink a battleship.

Even if he is hit by a few shots, he can still escape and evacuate the battlefield.

Therefore, not many were sunk, but a lot was damaged. After a naval battle, although the German navy only sank ten ships, the entire fleet had no combat effectiveness.

There are too many battleships that need major repairs.

Main battleships are extremely expensive to build. If they can be easily sunk, no country will be willing to build battleships.

And now, one of the five main ships of Great Britain was inexplicably blown up and sunk less than ten minutes after the battle started. This is so weird and terrible that even Don Rhett is a little bit embarrassed.

Everyone was in shock, but this was just the beginning.

Dahua's other two submarines have already locked their targets, namely the Colossus and the Ellieu.

When launching torpedoes, the submarine that attacked the Colossus was not technologically advanced enough and its Meow was not accurate enough. And the luck was not good, because the Colossus happened to turn a little while driving, causing the torpedo to miss the ship.

The Ellie was not so lucky. This torpedo was fired relatively straight. Even though the Ellie was moving, it was hit in the stern.

A huge explosion occurred again, but because the shot was at the stern, it didn't look as shocking as the Jersey.

However, the huge destructive power of the torpedo still completely destroyed the stern of the Ellie, blasting a huge crack, and seawater was also pouring in crazily.

Although the influx was slower than that of the Jersey, the sinking of the Earlie became a matter of time.

The British army had no way of repairing such huge damage.

"The attack comes from under the sea."

one officer cried and cried, his face covered with tears.

They have been with this navy for several years, and they all have deep feelings for these warships.

It's a very painful feeling to watch something you love sink and be unable to do anything about it.

Of course, another aspect is that this battleship is expensive to build.

Expensive things and cheap things give people completely different feelings.

Just like a rifle, even if it has been with it for many years, it will be broken if it breaks down. No soldier will cry because of this. After all, a new gun will be issued, and it is not a particularly expensive thing.

However, a battleship is a national treasure that the entire country does not have much.

If it's gone, it's gone. If you want to build a new one, you have to count the time units in years.

"seabed?"

Some people who had not noticed the torpedo looked towards the sea, but what caught their eyes was sea water.

Dahua's submarine has not completely surfaced. It is obviously impossible for them to find it with the naked eye.

"Commander, what should we do?"

On the battlefield, what soldiers fear most is that the enemy has new weapons, and what is more terrifying than this is the appearance of unknown things on the battlefield.

At this time, the people on board the Ellie were completely in panic and could only place all their hopes on Fleet Commander Don Reed.

At this time, Tang Ruide was already out of breath from the pressure on his body.

When there is no war, the position of naval commander is a good one. But in times of war, when one's own side is at a disadvantage, this position is actually a hot potato.

Facing an unknown situation, Tang Ruide had no experience and didn't know what to do.

He would rather order an immediate retreat, which was the wisest choice.

However, the troops mobilized and carried the hope of the people across the country, and even the slightest bit of war could not be achieved.

He failed to obtain any results, lost two main battleships and fled in a hurry. This is absolutely impossible to convey to the fellow villagers.

"Commander, quickly abandon the ship and evacuate, and transfer to the Colossus."

The adjutant persuaded.

The Earlie sank and they had to find a new battleship to serve as a command ship.

While Tang Ruide was struggling, another battleship and a frigate also exploded.

The Dahua submarine attack was like fire, extremely fast and fierce.

And because they knew nothing about submarines, they were helpless against this kind of attack that could actually be avoided.

At present, the Chinese army has only launched six torpedoes and successfully sunk four battleships, three of which are the main battleships of the British army.

It can be said that this has disabled the British fleet.

The hit rate of four out of six is ​​almost close to the hit rate of stationary targets during training by the Chinese army.

This efficiency is enough to make the Chinese army laugh out loud.

"Retreat, order the entire army to retreat immediately."

Tang Ruide could no longer care about the punishment he would face after returning to China. He just wanted to retreat immediately, as long as he could save one ship.

If they don't withdraw at this time, according to the efficiency of the Chinese army, his entire fleet will be bombed and sunk in less than an hour.

At what point will he truly be the sinner of Great Britain?

If he wasn't afraid of death, Tang Ruide would really want to commit suicide and die.

This battle was so frustrating, so depressing, and so inexplicable.
