At this time, the three ghosts lurking in the water had approached the British Navy, and the British army didn't know it.
They never thought that the danger would come from the bottom of the sea.
"What is that, Big Fish?"
When a mine launched from a submarine hit the Jersey, some soldiers even suspected that it was a big fish.
But soon a huge explosion sounded.
The center of the Jersey suddenly bulged, followed by a huge explosion, almost blasting the entire warship into two pieces.
But it was almost there, sea water poured frantically 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 survived by fluke were seriously injured and could do nothing but wait for rescue.
Moreover, there is a high probability that they will not wait for that moment.
"what happened?"
The huge explosion and the huge smoke made many people notice the miserable condition of the Jersey.
However, what they don't understand is how did the Jersey become like this? What kind of attack did it suffer?
The shells of the Hua Army can't produce this kind of 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 rounds.
Sometimes, a naval battle seems fierce, but the losses of the battleships of both sides are generally very small.
Just like in the Battle of Jutland, the number of warships participating in the battle between the two sides reached 250. After a whole day of fighting, the total battle damage was only 25, and the battle damage was 10%.
Moreover, only cruisers, frigates, torpedo ships, and core battleships were sunk.
Because it is not easy to sink a battleship.
Even after a few shots, he can still escape from the battlefield.
So not many were sunk, but many were destroyed. After a naval battle, although the German navy only sank ten ships, the entire fleet lost its combat effectiveness.
There are too many warships that need to be overhauled.
The main battleships are extremely expensive to build, and if they are easily sunk, no country would be willing to build battleships.
And now, one of the five main ships of Great Britain was inexplicably sunk when it was less than ten minutes into the war. This Nima was too weird and too bad, even Tang Ruide was a bit gaffe.
Everyone was in shock, but this was only the beginning.
Dahua's other two submarines have been targeted, namely the Colossus and Erlieu.
The torpedo was launched, and the submarine technology used to attack the Colossus was not enough, and Meow was not accurate enough. And the luck was not so good, because the Colossus had just turned a little bit when it was moving, causing the torpedo to pass by the ship.
The Ellieu was not so lucky. This torpedo shot relatively straight, even if the Ellieu was moving, it was hit in the stern.
The loud explosion sounded again, but because the shot was in the stern, it didn't look as shocking as the Jersey.
However, the huge destructive power of the torpedo completely destroyed the stern of the Erlieu, exploded a huge gap, and the sea was also rushing in frantically.
Although the influx was slower than the Jersey, the sinking of the Ellieu became a matter of time.
There was no way for the British army to remedy such a large damage.
"The attack came from the bottom of the sea."
An officer cried and yelled with tears all over his face.
They have been with this navy to form an army for several years, and they have deep feelings for these warships.
It is very painful to watch my beloved thing sink, but I can't do anything about it.
Of course, there is another aspect because the warship is expensive.
Expensive things and cheap things have completely different senses.
Just like a rifle, even if it has been with you for many years, it will be broken if it breaks. No soldier will cry because of it. After all, a new gun will be issued on it, and it is not a particularly expensive thing.
However, a battleship, this kind of entire country does not have many national treasures.
If it’s gone, it’s gone. If you want to build a new one, the unit of time has to be counted in years.
"seabed?"
Some people who hadn't noticed the torpedo looked towards the surface of the sea, but the only thing that caught their eyes was the sea water.
Dahua's submarine did not completely surface. It was obviously impossible for them to find it with the naked eye.
"Commander, what should we do?"
On the battlefield, what soldiers fear most is the enemy's possession of new weapons, and even more terrifying than this is the appearance of unknown things on the battlefield.
At this time, the people on the Ellieu were completely panicked, and they could only pin all their hopes on the fleet commander Tang Reid.
At this time, Tang Ruide was overwhelmed by the pressure on his body.
When there is no war, the position of commander of the navy is Xiangmo. In the era of war and chaos, when one's own side is at a disadvantage, this position is actually a hot potato.
In the face of unknown circumstances, Tang Ruide had no experience and did not know what to do.
He hopes to order an immediate retreat, which is the wisest choice.
However, mobilizing the army, carrying the hope of the people of the whole country, did not get the slightest result, and ran away in a hurry after losing two main battleships. This is absolutely impossible to make friends with the fathers and villagers.
"Commander, quickly abandon the ship and evacuate, and transfer to the Colossus."
The adjutant persuaded.
The Erlieu sinks and they must find a new battleship as a command ship.
Just as Tang Ruide struggled, another battleship and a frigate exploded.
Dahua submarine offensive is fierce and extremely fast.
And because they don't know anything about submarines, they can't do anything about this kind of attack that can actually be avoided.
At present, the Chinese army only launched six torpedoes and successfully sank four battleships, three of which were also the main battleships of the British army.
It can be said that this has maimed the British fleet.
The hit rate of 6 in 4 is almost close to the hit rate of hitting static targets during the training of the Chinese Army.
This efficiency is enough to laugh off the big teeth of the Chinese army.
"Retreat, order the whole army to retreat immediately."
Tang Ruide can no longer care about what punishment he will face after returning to China. He just wants to retreat immediately and can save one ship.
Without retreating at this time, according to the efficiency of the Chinese army, his entire fleet would be sunk in less than an hour.
When will he truly be a sinner in Great Britain?
If it wasn't for fear of death, Tang Ruide really wanted to commit suicide at this time, and died.
This fight was really too awkward, too depressed, and too inexplicable.
