Chapter 150: Sunk down the battleship

Deng Haogan could no longer sit still when he realized that the British might turn back and attack Hong Kong unconventionally.
"Record, ordering the special task force to withdraw immediately to about ten nautical miles from Hong Kong, and the radar was turned on at full power, and the key sea areas near Hong Kong were closely guarded.
Order the Sea Wolves to sail immediately to the key offshore waters, A waters, and C waters near Hong Kong.
Immediately report the latest analysis and forecast results to Major General Tao Qian, requesting the naval aviation forces at Baoan Airport to increase air reconnaissance and make preparations for 100,000 points. "
After several orders were issued at a stretch, Deng Haogan stepped out of the command room and saw that the special task force was returning. The distance of hundreds of nautical miles was almost for new ships built in the late 1920s and early 1930s. It's just two or three hours.
As long as the British are not blessed by their gods, and coincidentally rushed to Hong Kong offshore during this time, and successfully shelled Hong Kong, then Hong Kong is absolutely safe.
Deng Haogan looked at the steel watch on his left wrist. At this time it was more than four in the afternoon. If there were no accidents, the special task force rushed back, and it was already night.
"I hope to catch up with it sooner or later, it will be a huge trouble." As a naval commander, Deng Haoqian knew how severe the restrictions on the Special Operations Fleet in night warfare were. In addition to the Kunming aircraft carrier and the Chengdu aircraft carrier, the Chongqing class Battleships such as cruisers do not qualify for battleship battleships. On both carriers, none of the aircraft capable of taking off at night is available. Some of the Chengdu ships have a shipborne radar, but they are not enough to deal with the United Kingdom. people.
"Militarium, pick me Colonel Ding Jialing, commander of the submarine unit"
Combat Staff Li Junguo said: "Yes"
At this time, Deng Haogan knew that next, maybe only the submarine would have the ability to set ambush in key sea areas. He would issue an order for immediate attack on Ding Jialing. Once he discovered that the British fleet had the intention to approach the Hong Kong shelling area, he immediately gave it. Sinking.
In Hong Kong, less than a nautical mile from the sea, under the afterglow of the setting sun, the wind is blowing and the sea is shimmering. No one would have thought of it. Under this undulating wave, a fish was hidden.
This swarthy big fish quietly lurks in the deep ocean more than forty meters deep, and the hull is nearly 80 meters long. At first glance, it looks like a cigar-like shape, but it has a part shape design suitable for sea navigation. The huge underwater monster looked incomparable. Some large fish in the nearby waters saw this behemoth quietly suspended in the water, but also avoided it from a distance. Occasionally, even a small sperm whale, which was seven or eight meters long, could be seen from far away. Strange guy is full of curiosity.
This big fish is one of the ten most advanced South China Sea submarines in the southwest. The new shape that combines cigar design and traditional design takes into consideration the balance between underwater navigation and surface navigation. After all, the submarines of this period cannot dive too far underwater due to battery and power reasons, and the design considerations of the South China Sea class submarines are ocean-going submarines capable of operating in the entire South China Sea or even farther. As a result, surface navigation has become an issue that must be considered. Even if the new type of special steel for ships in the southwest has been put into production, even if the pressure resistance technology has broken through, it can only lead the western submarines in some fields without exceeding the limits of the entire era.
It was mainly Zhang Shusheng who took the lead, and guided the development of submarines a lot.
With a displacement of more than 1,600 tons, the highest speed on the water surface: 19.2 knots and the highest underwater speed: 9.6 knots, the submarine design is more advanced. Thanks to the use of a new large battery pack produced by Nanning Battery Factory, the underwater endurance has been greatly improved. Compared with the submarine's underwater range of only about 60 nautical miles in the same period, the South China Sea-class submarine is equipped with an underwater snorkel. The underwater range can sail at a speed of 5.5 knots and can reach 90 nautical miles. Its design dive depth is 260 meters, this number also exceeds the main submarines equipped by various countries in the same period.
It is not that the Southwest has surpassed the West in an all-round way, but that the Southwest has made breakthroughs in special steel projects and concentrated its financial resources. These new South Korean-class submarines have been constructed and equipped with new special ship steel and new submarines. In the past ten years, there were only a dozen small offshore submarines and ten medium-sized South China Sea submarines, which temporarily took the route of elite soldiers. Coupled with some advanced design concepts, Western submarine forces that have not been tested by war for more than a decade have certainly fallen behind.
The entire submarine has the number of torpedo tubes: 6 of which 4 are at the bow and 2 are at the stern, with 28 rounds of ammunition. It is not bad to say that if the enemy's counter-potential is too weak, such a South China Sea class may even be possible. Send a small fleet down the trench to feed the fish.
In this era, this kind of performance submarine is already considered very powerful. Under the leadership of the Director of the Navy 2201 Institute, Gan Chuanrui, from the beginning of the establishment of the institute in 1920, based on U-boats bought in Germany, research has been carried out step by step, from scratch, for more than ten years, from the beginning The 10-meter-long verification boat to this day has a length of 80 meters for the South China Sea-class submarine. I have to say that with the help of Zhang Shusheng's information, the development direction of the submarine was clearly identified. It took the Southwest more than ten years to finally realize the navy For local 'asymmetric operations', at least for now, the Southwest Navy is few and fine.
"Captain, this is an order just received. Commander Deng Haogan personally issued it." The communications staff handed the order just received to Captain Ding Jialing, the captain of the Sea Wolf Forces, and gave a brief explanation. "Commander Deng suspected the British Behind the bizarre exit of Hong Kong is an indirect return plan led by the opposing commander. They are likely to give up fleeing Singapore or waiting for reinforcements, but instead return to Hong Kong and bombard the urban area by jumping routes. "
"Well, we are the closest to the main city of Hong Kong. Only us and another offshore submarine are nearby. I hope there will be no problems."
Ding Jialing thought that this possibility was indeed very high. After all, the intelligence of the past few days showed that the British fleet was always near and far, but it could not be completely captured.
Time is running out, and the submarines distributed elsewhere are too late. In the original Hong Kong battle, the Navy mobilized five offshore submarines and three South China Sea-class submarines, but it was a bit stretched because it needed to defend in several different directions. After all, The special mixed fleet is the most mobile naval force. At this time, the submarine force is still too slow. Instead, it is best to wait and see. "Then let's try. Behind the coast is the most prosperous area. The British have been stationed in Hong Kong for a long time. We must know that we must order other boats to increase their alert and keep in touch with the brigade."
There are a total of three areas in Hong Kong that need to be defended. The navy in the southwest is really stretched, and it is really a face-to-face fight. You will be injured, but it will also make people sleep a bit.
At the same time, Baoan Airport, which had become a little quiet after a few days of hustle and bustle, became busy again, and a fighter jet was either pushed out or pulled out by a car and placed on the runway. .
The first to take off was the mid-range reconnaissance aircraft 'Tianniao No. 1' converted from three H-2 bombers, which was mounted on the auxiliary fuel tank. Less than 20 minutes, the first Tianniao No. 1 had taken off and its nose was high. After turning around and pulling up, the air turned at a large angle toward Hong Kong.
At the same time, more fighter jets are refueling. Nearly 30 planes in the entire airport are taking off, half ready to go, half ready. The fighter is responsible for escort, and it can also clear the possible anti-aircraft fire of enemy ships. The bombers of the H-1 and H-2 bombers are equipped with 250 kg and 500 kg aviation bombs. In addition to adding heavy aviation bombs, several torpedo planes are mounting a heavy torpedo of more than 700 kilograms on the plane, ready to surprise the British fleet.
Seeing that it was late at night, the fighter jets of the Air Force flew over Hong Kong.
"Command, Skybird 11 reported that no British warships were found. Repeatedly, no British fleet was found."
"Command, Skybird 12 reported that no British warships were found. Repeatedly, no enemy fleet was found."
When the two bomber-reconstructed reconnaissance aircraft had to return home, it was almost dark. At first, the skybird reconnaissance aircraft searched the British trail along the sea. Then the fighter and bomber formations joined the search. However, in Within a radius of hundreds of nautical miles, no British people were found.
When Deng Haogan got the report, he felt deeply puzzled. Did the British really hide in the South China Sea, or the French who turned to Vietnam?
But he cannot be persuaded by this hypothesis. For no reason, once the British bombarded Hong Kong, the arrogance of the enemy will definitely rise, and it will have a huge negative impact on the entire southwest military operation and future negotiations.
After all, as the commander of the navy, he knew that the Southwest was betting that the British could not stand it first. But once Hong Kong is shelled, the domestic call for a war with the British will surely rise like never before. Obviously, now is not the time.
The situation is so weird. The Southwest Army can sink British warships, but Hong Kong must not be shelled. This is why he would rather stay in Hong Kong's waters than chase down. He knew the power of battleships. Once the former main gun smashed into the city, it could cause huge casualties, let alone two cruisers and three ships salvo. The consequences made him unimaginable.
The British can be brave, but he dare not let the British act indiscriminately. The Chinese were dead, and they couldn't clean up. The Chinese who lost the most in the end.
South China Sea, 150 nautical miles from Hong Kong, southwest of Hong Kong.
"Go ahead to target Hong Kong."
When the afterglow of the sunset was about to be devoured by night, Colonel Sim finally ordered the fleet to set sail again. In order to wait for this sunset, he had counted for a long time, even several times, he seemed to see the bird in the sky like an illusion. Size Chinese airplane. He was in a state of fear at all times. He was deeply aware of the terribleness of the Chinese Air Force. The two destroyers were blown up without even sending out the telegrams.
He did not think that his battleships were more explosive-resistant than destroyers. He used to, like other excellent captains of the Imperial Navy, believe that the artillery giants were the navy's magic weapon, not the carrier factions who were trying to reform the navy As such, what aircraft will determine the naval battle, they are convinced that the artillery can determine the naval battle. Even last month, a new heavy cruiser was launched in China, with a displacement of more than 11,000 tons, which is really scary.
When he encountered the unlucky one who was hit by a captain's Hong Kong fleet that was killed by an iron bomb dropped by a Chinese plane, he once suspected the Major General of the Far East Fleet that he was greedy for life and feared death. However, in this Hong Kong war, he once again saw the Chinese Air Force. He had to accept the fact that 1932 was not 1840. At that time, the imperial navy could rely on artillery giants to blast Chinese turrets, but today, for the fighters in the sky, not to mention his three warships, that is the whole The Far East Fleet seemed helpless.
He believed in God, but he did not believe that only a few symbolic anti-aircraft guns could hit dozens of Chinese aircraft.
So he ordered the withdrawal from Hong Kong for the first time, but as a commander of the Royal Navy, the imperial navy's hundreds of years of majesty made him urgently need a revenge against the Chinese. Bombing Hong Kong will be the happiest way to relieve hate. Just like the Imperial Navy did around the world, when the enemy did not yield, we opened their mouths with cannons, blasting their legs that symbolized false dignity and let them Give in and let them kneel and submit.
"God Almighty, bless the action."
After the day was dark, Colonel Sim still had the chance to escape the Chinese. He knew that the only opportunity for the fleet was to take advantage of the night, and when those unpleasant planes could not launch air strikes, bombard Hong Kong. Of course, he privately believes that the shelling at night may bring even greater surprises to those who stay at home.
No more dead are yellow-skinned monkeys, not civilized empire citizens.
"My warrior, you will tell the Chinese with your cannon sound that the majesty of the Royal British Navy is inviolable. I will work with you to become another practical example of the heroic battle of the Imperial Navy."
However, Colonel Sim has already thought about it. If this time he can successfully end the war, he will personally write a letter to the imperial navy's officials who are still being kept in the drum like pigs. The British Empire should Build more aircraft carriers than use them as maritime reconnaissance aircraft carriers.
Time passed quickly. When Colonel Sim looked up from the chart, the chief officer told him that Hong Kong was ten miles away.
"Order eight double-mounted 15-inch main guns (381mm) and 12 6-inch secondary guns (152mm) to prepare for firing, and let the boys shoot the most shells at the Chinese."
For battleships, a distance of ten nautical miles is not more than a dozen kilometers. Moving forward, without having to reach the shoal, you can shell the Hong Kong that the Chinese have just recovered.
"Commander Deng, Colonel Ding Jialing, captain of the Sea Wolf Forces, sent a report again, and found no trace of the British." The combat staff walked to Deng Haogan, and the admiral frowned, as if he was worrying about something.
Deng Haogan was not worried about anything else, but the almost fearful instinct in his heart had always reminded him that there must be a situation, perhaps because this was the first time the Navy participated in a large-scale actual battle, which made him very stressed. The Navy is different from the Army and Air Force. The army can run if it can't win. Without soldiers, it only needs a mobilization order to recruit more recruits. The air force fails and it can quickly rebuild new fighters. The Navy alone, once the combat strength, lose too much, It would be even more sinful if the enemy were to shell shells.
"Where is Dingjialing?"
"They concentrated three offshore submarines and two South China Sea class submarines, which are patrolling within five nautical miles. Commander, the South China Sea class submarines are all equipped with sonar. Although not a large towed sonar equipped by the special task force, but It can also withstand the test of actual combat, "the combat staffer whispered.
"Well, tell them that the waters in all three directions must be strictly guarded against death. I have a hunch that the British will definitely not give up, they will definitely come back for nothing else because they can't eat this loss, and they look down on us in their bones. The Chinese, they never even regarded us as enemies, but as colonies, as backward yellow skin races. "
Deng Haogan thought of his father Deng Gong Yi, and he couldn't help but sigh that his father could fight to death and serve the country, but he couldn't, because he had to do everything possible to win the people who belonged to this nation and belong to this new navy.
At this time, the carrier special task force needs to hide in a safe port, and Hong Kong will continue to be guarded by submarine forces.
"It is reported that the urgent information just received, 4 nautical miles off the coast of Hong Kong, found a target suspected of the British fleet. Colonel Ding Jialing, the captain of the Sea Wolf, will attack after identification."
An emergency military situation immediately shocked the entire flagship command center.
Six nautical miles off the coast of Hong Kong
For the South China Sea submarine N05, sonar soldier He Guangyin has insisted on listening for at least three hours, and what he hears from the earphones is always the unchanging marine noise.
The concentration of attention for a long time caused him some energy overdraft. He reached into his jacket pocket and took out a long red pepper. He wanted to bite it off without thinking.
"Hah ... so hot." This little sonar soldier is different from everyone else. He won't be agitated when he eats chili, but it will make him more refreshed. Sure enough, in the next few minutes, he just feels full of strength The signal coming from the headphones is also much clearer.
Suddenly, the sonar soldier He Guangyin quickly took off his headset and shouted, "An enemy ship, if you find an enemy ship, it is definitely not our battleship."
A low combat bell rang in the submarine. At this time, several other submarines were two or three nautical miles away from the N05.
Ding Jialing took a deep breath, and then calmly ordered: "Immediately generate electricity to Commander Deng Haogan. At a position of 114 ° 16′E and 22 ° 14′N, I found a large unidentified vessel, suspected of being a British Hong Kong fleet. It will be sunk or cleared after the screening is cleared. The other boats will be ordered to move closer to my N05 boat. "
"He Guangyin, are you sure there are three large warships?" Ding Jialing was next to the sonar soldier, and asked him again after he put down his headset.
"I'm sure that unless there are other giant ships of nearly 30,000 tons in the South China Sea, from the characteristics of sonar, the three sonar source targets are very close to one battleship and two cruisers of the Hong Kong fleet."
"Okay, I need you to confirm it at the end, including their speed. I need your report." At this time, the submarine couldn't float and look around. Naturally, you can only hope for the sonar soldier, which is tens of meters underwater. The soldiers have become the eyes of the submarine.
From time to time, He Guangyin reconfirmed, "They are slowing down."
"Not good" Ding Jialing suddenly realized that it was only a few nautical miles away from the Hong Kong urban area. The British must slow down to prepare for the shelling. The original plan was to wait for other boats to dare to attack the small fleet. It's too late, "Pull the battle alert, fill yourselves, fill the torpedo tanks. The whole boat floats at full speed and confirms the target."
When the submarine N05 finally surfaced, the periscope's periscope was able to blur the big ships in the distance through the lens. Under the starlight, the three ships were faintly visible. The Hong Kong Fleet, which was not returned by the British, returned again. What is it.
Seeing that the British battleships and cruisers gradually slowed down, apparently preparing for shelling, Ding Jialing decided to dive closer and approach the torpedo.
However, the submarine N05 had not yet reached the optimal launch range of the torpedo, and the sonar warned again. From the changing sonar signal, the British warship had a great shock.
"No, the British gun fired"
However, this time God did not stand on the side of the British. Even Colonel Sim, who was far away on the battleship, was able to judge that the shells fired by the main gun were not hit by the fire and denseness of the distant explosion. Urban area.
"Preparing for the second school shooting"
Colonel Sim had no worries, only two rounds of school firing were needed, and the anger of a battleship and two cruisers would pour on the Chinese.
However, this shelling is destined to continue.
"boom"
A violent explosion sounded abruptly, and the Dover cruiser on the Warrior side suddenly jumped a little higher. Even Colonel Sim, who was standing on the Warrior, had an illusion, as if the Dover cruiser was instantly lifted by the sea water. Out of general.
But in an instant, he hissed and shouted, "Torpedo Torpedo Chinese Torpedo."
The searchlights on the three warships turned on quickly, but the sight they saw surprised them.
A huge hole was blown out of the Dover's waterline, and seawater was pouring in wildly. There was also a white wave firing at three battleships. The torpedo missed the gap without giving the British more time to think about it. The second torpedo missed.
The cruiser was always not as thick as the battleship. It ate a new torpedo in a southwest hunting suit and opened its mouth near the waterline.
"Evacuate at full speed. Evacuate at full speed."
At this time, Colonel Sim remembered something, a submarine, a submarine. The Chinese actually had a submarine. They just happened to be on the fairway, waiting for themselves to run into it.
The three warships, including the injured Dover, were quickly leaving this terrifying submarine waters.
"Launch, fast, launch"
Ding Jialing shouted loudly that he needed to use torpedoes to sink these executioners, and they actually tried to shell Hong Kong. He couldn't imagine how much damage would be caused if the nearly 400mm artillery shelled Hong Kong. The bombardment of civilians sounds scary and incredible, but he knew that the British did not do this kind of thing, especially to Hong Kong. They have a huge sense of "shame". The crazy commander actually ordered the shelling. Hong Kong, then, they must be sunk and punished.
However, the battleships and undamaged cruisers were too fast. Compared to submarines, the Warrior and another uninsured Antor cruiser quickly left the danger zone. The unlucky cruiser Dover stopped slowly, and the torpedoes drilled near the waterline actually fortunately destroyed the warship's power system. The unlucky Dover stopped at sea.
The last two torpedoes launched by the N05 submarine only had one bite at the stern position of the Warrior. Although the warrior fled hurriedly, it did not penetrate the waterline like the unlucky Dover, but also suffered certain war The speed is obviously unable to mention the highest speed. Unfortunately, the damaged Warrior also runs much faster than the N05 boat.
Ding Jialing had no choice but to order to monitor the heavily damaged cruiser. Once something changed, he immediately sank with a torpedo.
Early the next morning, when the repaired Dover reluctantly sailed into the Gulf of Hong Kong, the citizens of Hong Kong cheered. The navy actually captured a badly wounded British battleship. This is absolutely unprecedented. Defeating the British Army was even more shocking.
At this time, a Guilin-class destroyer was ordered to the Dover, occupied by Southwest Army soldiers, into the port, and the special mixed formation set sail early in the morning.
The target was the remaining two battleships of the British. After an attempted attack last night, the British had frightened and fled to Vietnam overnight. As a result, God still did not help the British this time, and the remaining two rushed British battleships Because the speed of the Warrior was damaged, it was spotted by a Skybird reconnaissance plane at dawn.
The special task force set sail urgently, and finally entered the combat distance of the carrier-based aircraft at ten o'clock in the morning.
Under the close follow of the Aviator reconnaissance aircraft, the two British warships were like two desperate British cows. They were damaged by the short-range shot of the N05 boat, and they could not run fast. .
When Colonel Sim saw a large group of fighters flying from Skyrim, he looked down at the battleship with a damaged rudder, took out a pistol, and silently pulled the trigger towards his temple position.
"boom"
A suicide gunshot seemed to announce the end of the British.
In the eyes of the British Royal Sailors, the Chinese are like crazy. They did not have a fighter following, but one madly dived in from all directions. Among them, several fighters were tricky to make people The bunny flew down and dropped a bombshell.
Under the rain of bombs, a special task force composed of two aircraft carriers took off three batches of nearly forty sorties of bombers to carry out air-strike bombardment on two British warships ~ EbookFREE.me ~ ... ………… Boom ………… Boom …………

The British anti-aircraft guns, which were symbolically placed on battleships and cruisers, hit the Chinese planes a few times, but were surprised to find that these Chinese fighters did not explode in the air. After a severe shock, the bombers actually flew back.
Only then did they realize that the small-calibre anti-aircraft guns need to deal with bombers with bullet-proof design.
Of course, the British also had too few anti-aircraft guns, and the first round of bombing was almost destroyed by violent air strikes. The thick smoke covering the sky made the remaining air defense units lose their targets again, passively waiting for the aerial bombs dropped by the Chinese.
In the face of several batches of fighters released by the two aircraft carriers, the two solitary British warships seemed so tragic and miserable. The 30,000-ton displacement Giant Warrior had several large artillery pieces and was armed to its teeth. But can only wait for bombing.
When the last H-1 bomber dropped a bomb, a report was returned.
"Report, Warrior is slowly sinking" ()
