Chapter 793: One-third of the Japanese Division is Taken Away in One Wave

793 took away one third of the Japanese division in one wave

At this time, it was not just the battleship Musashi that was in panic and confusion.

On the Japanese aircraft carrier Soryu in front, the Japanese captain Kanae Kamisaka was looking at the black smoke coming out of the right front side of his aircraft carrier.

Also angry and suspicious.

"Baga, what the hell is going on?

What on earth are they doing on the 'Akizuki'? Why did they allow the enemy's submarine to get so close to our aircraft carrier?"

The captain of the Japanese aircraft carrier roared loudly.

After all, their aircraft carriers themselves do not have much submarine detection and anti-submarine capabilities.

This task was mainly assigned to several accompanying cruisers and destroyers.

Especially the two destroyers of the Japanese, because they have just undergone a technical upgrade in the past two years.

The focus is on the anti-submarine capabilities of their destroyers.

After the upgrade, the sonar technology and anti-submarine capabilities of these two Japanese destroyers have been greatly improved.

In theory, these two destroyers should be responsible for escorting the Soryu aircraft carrier all the way.

It is impossible for the enemy's submarines to get close to their aircraft carriers.

If they get closer, the sonar operators of the two destroyers will definitely notice it in advance.

There is no need for the captain of the Soryu aircraft carrier to give any instructions.

The accompanying destroyers and cruisers will immediately engage in anti-submarine warfare and drive away the attacking submarines.

This kind of battle of wits and courage with submarines was fought by the Japanese destroyers against American submarines in the Western Pacific some time ago.

It has been done several times.

It can be said that the escort warships accompanying the Soryu aircraft carrier at this moment all have extremely strong anti-submarine capabilities.

All the Japanese fleet commanders could not understand why this happened.

"Captain, could it be that the American submarine is following us?"

The Japanese first mate next to him spoke at this time.

The first thing that came to mind was that the attack on their aircraft carrier fleet was by the American submarine fleet.

After all, the Japanese didn't know at this time that Ye Qingshan had a secret submarine force.

Not to mention the Japs, even the Americans don’t know about it yet.

Therefore, at this moment, the Japanese first mate immediately put the blame on the Americans.

It's only too normal.

"Baga, who else could it be if not the Americans?

Do you think the Chinese have submarines?"

The captain of the Japanese aircraft carrier Soryu had the same idea.

However, it is not important to know that it was an American submarine that attacked their aircraft carrier fleet.

Now, the most important thing for the Japs is to keep their aircraft carriers and the main force of the fleet.

Minimize their losses.

And, destroy the submarine that attacked them.

"Quick, send a message to the Qiuyue and Chunfeng.

Tell them to find the Yankee submarines underwater and kill them immediately."

The captain of the Japanese aircraft carrier, Kanae Uesaka, shouted anxiously.

Boom!

Just because, just now, a torpedo hit the left rear of their aircraft carrier's hull.

The torpedo just now hit the right front side of their aircraft carrier.

This shows that there was more than one American submarine that attacked their aircraft carrier.

At the same time, Kanae Uesaka knew better that once the submarine attack began, it would not be as simple as launching a torpedo.

There will definitely be a series of torpedoes coming from behind.

The Japanese captain already had a bad feeling in his heart at this moment.

"Hi!"

The Japanese first mate also knew that the situation was urgent, and the two of them immediately split into two groups.

The Japanese aircraft carrier captain continued to command the operations on the aircraft carrier, while the Japanese first mate went to ask the flag bearer on the aircraft carrier.

They signaled with flags to the six cruisers and destroyers that were escorting them.

Let them conduct anti-submarine operations immediately.

"Hurry, speed up, speed up.

Leave this area and notify the damage control officer to plug the hole in the hull. "

Kanae Uesaka yelled at them to speed up the aircraft carrier.

This is to avoid more possible attacks from aircraft carriers in the future.

Boom, boom!

At the same time, the captain of the Japanese aircraft carrier also heard bursts of explosions coming from behind them.

He didn't even dare to look back.

Because, it goes without saying that it must be their Musashi behind them, or the huge transport fleet.

It was also attacked by submarines.

After a moment, Kanae Uesaka still looked back.

Sure enough, they saw that the Musashi, which was following them a few kilometers away, was also emitting billowing black smoke.

Further behind, two ships of a transport fleet carrying a Japanese division were hit by torpedoes.

There was a violent explosion, turning into a huge fireball.

Countless Japanese soldiers fell into the water screaming.

The explosion of a heavy torpedo with a caliber of more than 500 mm would be impossible for the Japanese transport ship to withstand.

The structure of these transport ships is very different from that of their warships.

At least, these Japanese transport ships are far inferior to their warships in terms of anti-attack capabilities.

A 500mm caliber heavy torpedo, no matter from which direction it comes, as long as it hits the Japanese transport ship.

Whether it is a large transport ship or a small transport ship.

Almost all of them eventually sank.

The only difference is that the small transport ship will be directly blown into a fireball, and the Japanese soldiers inside will not even have a chance to escape.

Larger Japanese transport ships will not sink immediately after the explosion.

It can also give some of the Japanese soldiers who were not killed in the explosion a chance to escape.

But don’t forget that many of these Japanese transport ships are carrying a lot of army weapons and ammunition.

These ammunition were detonated directly, causing a secondary explosion.

The power is no less than the explosion of a heavy torpedo.

Boom boom boom!

Explosions from the Japanese transport fleet behind rang out one after another.

After all, the attack of the nine ghost submarines was launched almost simultaneously.

In front, Sun Jiaming commanded the U1 submarine to attack the Japanese battleship Musashi.

The other ghost submarines behind had also launched torpedoes at the Japanese transport ships.

However, compared to Sun Jiaming mentioned above, they were responsible for attacking the Musashi battleship and the Soryu aircraft carrier.

The four ghost submarines that attacked the Japanese transport fleet had to use a different style of warfare from that of Sun Jiaming and his team.

After all, the Japanese transport ships are scattered.

Moreover, these Japanese transport ships have basically no attack capability against their underwater submarines.

After all, the Japanese transport ships do not have any anti-submarine capabilities.

No depth charges will be dropped.

Therefore, compared to the five ships that Sun Jiaming mentioned above, the ghost submarines that attacked the Japanese naval fleet.

The four ghost submarines behind are much safer.

Since it is much safer, these four ghost submarines will become even more unscrupulous.

They did not stop like Sun Jiaming did after getting about one kilometer away from the Japanese battleship Musashi.

Launch torpedoes at this distance.

In order to improve the accuracy of their torpedoes, the four ghost submarines behind,

They got closer to the Japanese transport ships, approaching a distance of four or five hundred meters, before launching torpedoes.

This is considered to be continuing the distance.

If they were closer, the torpedoes they launched might hit their own submarines.

Boom boom boom!

Explosions continued to sound on the sea.

At such a close distance, the four ghost submarines behind fired torpedoes.

Almost in the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the Japanese transport ship.

It was so fast that the Japanese had no time to react.

"Fire, fire all the loaded torpedoes in one go!"

In the underwater ghost submarine, the commander gave orders.

There are six torpedo tubes on a ghost submarine, so a ghost submarine can launch six torpedoes at a time.

After launching these six torpedoes, they need to reload.

This time will be quite long.

Along with the four ghost submarines, all twenty-four torpedoes in the first wave of attack were fired.

Soon, streaks of flames rose up from the sea.

Those were all Japanese transport ships hit by torpedoes, there were actually ten of them.

It was blown up in this wave of torpedo attacks.

Nearly one-third of the Japanese transport fleet.

"Dive down and reload your torpedoes.

Prepare for a second attack."

In the U6 boat, the commander fired the first wave of six torpedoes.

They dived immediately without even having time to check the results of their attack.

Then, have their torpedo loaders immediately carry out secondary torpedo loading.

Waiting for the next wave of attack.

At this time, the commander of the Japanese 107th Division, who was on the Musashi, ran to the stern of the battleship Musashi.

We also saw the scene where so many of their transport ships were blown up.

This made the old devil's eyes burst into tears, and he was furious: "Baga, Americans, I'm going to kill you."

A full one-third of the transport fleet was lost in such a short period of time.

As for this wave of attacks, how many Japanese soldiers will be killed.

The old devil didn't even dare to think about it.

He knew that he had to make a decision now, otherwise their 107th Division might not have time to land.

They will all be buried in this sea.

"Quick, signal all transport ships.

Head north at full speed immediately."

The Japanese division commander, Kaito Fumura, grabbed the collar of a Japanese colonel next to him and yelled at him.

"Mr. Commander, if our transport fleet loses the protection of the navy fleet,

In front of these underwater submarines, we are sitting ducks."

The Japanese colonel thought that Fumura Kaito's decision was too radical.

"Baga. You idiot."

As a result, the Japanese colonel was slapped twice by Wencun Kaito.

Fumura Kaito pointed at the naval soldiers on the Musashi, who were now in a mess, and shouted, "Look.

Now, their navy is overwhelmed.

How to protect our transport fleet.

If we don’t take any action now, our 107th Division will be wiped out here.”

Boom!

At this moment, the battleship Musashi shook again.

It was obvious that the Japanese battleship Musashi was hit by another torpedo.

Now, the colonel of the Japanese 107th Division somewhat agreed with the decision of his division commander.

"Hi, Your Excellency the Division Commander, I will go and convey the order right away."

The Japanese colonel ran away quickly.
