Chapter 1466 Brilliant moment (first update, please subscribe)
"No. 2 torpedo tube is ready!"

When giving the order, Sun Zhiyuan observed the two British ships on the sea through the periscope. When they stopped the ship to save people, he immediately and calmly chose the second prey - the "Hogue".

At this time, the S83 submarine had turned off its motor, but under the action of the ocean current, she was still gliding forward. Although the speed was very slow, the S83 suspended in the sea was like a gray ash hiding in the dark. Like a wolf, she was drifting towards her prey without making a sound. When it was moving, there was no movement except for the torpedo tubes that had been opened on the bow, occasionally emitting a few bubbles.

"It's now!"

At a distance of less than 300 meters, Sun Zhiyuan stared at the armored cruiser "Hogue" through the periscope, and Sun Zhiyuan gave the order to launch. In order to save torpedoes, avoid wasting time loading torpedoes, and more importantly, to maintain the balance of the bow , he ordered a torpedo to be fired.

The torpedo in the No. 2 launch tube was ejected from the torpedo launch tube under the push of high-pressure air. It paused for a while in the sea water mixed with a large number of air bubbles, as if it was adapting to the cold sea water, and then it was pushed by the propeller. He rushed forward fiercely.

When the torpedo roared and dragged its white bubble trail towards the target, Sun Zhiyuan retracted his periscope directly, and shouted loudly.

"Dive to 40 meters!"

When the submarine, which was originally suspended in the sea, dived into the deep water, Sun Zhiyuan, who was holding the periscope, was silently counting down with a pocket watch, just like the first officer.

Suddenly, there was a muffled explosion sound outside the cabin, and at the same time, the shock wave even made the suspended submarine violently shake several times.

"Okay, right on target!"

Clapping his hands vigorously, Sun Zhiyuan smiled at Wu Anmin and his subordinates.

"Another big fish!"

Then he ordered.

"Pay attention to the movement of enemy ships in the listening room."

The next step is to wait. While Sun Zhiyuan and the crew were waiting anxiously, the "Hogue" which was hit by a torpedo issued an order to abandon the ship. When it abandoned the ship, it issued a warning to the "Cressy" armored cruiser. — We are in a minefield, watch out for mines.

Until this time, no one realized that they were attacked by submarines. After all, in the consciousness of the Royal Navy, submarines never dared to attack the fleet. After all, their tonnage was limited, and a large number of air bubbles when launching torpedoes would expose their existence.In short, it never occurred to me that there were submarines who dared to challenge the fleet.

In the following time, while the "Cressy" armored cruiser rescued the sailors who fell into the water, they carefully searched the sea, searching for mines that never existed.

Half an hour later, at 6:05, the "Hogue" sank into the cold seabed along with the "Aboukir".

After a search, the armored cruiser "Cressy" only thought that there were no more torpedoes in the sea, so he relaxed his vigilance and continued the rescue operation, but he never thought that at a depth of 40 meters, there was a submarine that still did not follow. Unrelentingly waiting for the opportunity.

After a long wait, the S83 submarine came back from the dead, and she began to slowly leave the current position. Driven by two 600-horsepower electric motors, and with the help of the listener, the large submarine moved towards the next one. Drive to the attack position.

Submarine S83 was heading towards another launch site at a speed of 20 knots in 5 meters of water. Although she did not use the periscope to observe, she still drew a beautiful picture on the sea chart based on the location judged by the audiophone. The arc of the attack successfully detoured to the starboard side of the "Cressy" armored cruiser.When she arrived at the launch position, the submarine slowly rose to the height of the periscope. After finding the "Cressy" in the periscope, which was rescuing the drowning sailors, the large ocean-going submarine immediately adjusted its course slowly.

The difference from before is that this time the distance between them is very far, a full 800 meters. In order to increase the hit rate, Sun Pingyuan ordered to launch two torpedoes. After the two torpedoes from No. 3 and No. 4 launch tubes were fired , The resulting weight loss immediately affected the balance of the submarine, causing the bow of the S83 to emerge from the water, and was immediately spotted by sharp-eyed British watchmen—after all, they had been carefully searching for mines!

If you had doubts about the sinking of the "Aboukir" and "Hogue" just now, the answer is now obvious!
"Spot the submarine!"

Without even waiting for the gunners of the "Cressy" to fire at the surface of the sea where the submarine was spotted, they saw two white torpedo trails heading towards him at high speed, and the "Cressy" also hurriedly tried to dodge, but it only Dodged one and the other hit the starboard side.

At the same time, S83 immediately went around to the port side of the British ship, and used the stern launch tube to deal a fatal blow to the "Cressy" at a distance of 500 meters.

At 6:30, a violent explosion came from the armored port side of the "Cressy", and at 6:55, the ship followed in the footsteps of its friendly ships and sank into the sea.

In just one and a half hours, three armored cruisers of the Royal Navy were wiped out and sank into the icy Dover Strait. Dozens of officers and more than 1400 sailors were killed in the sea, and the total tonnage lost exceeded 36000 tons!This can be regarded as the worst defeat suffered by the Royal Navy since the war began.

As for the S83 submarine, only 5 torpedoes were consumed before and after, and even on the way back, it sank a British trawler-an auxiliary ship for anti-submarine missions.

In the early morning of the next day, when the S83 submarine entered the port of Brest, their miraculous results not only spread in the naval base, but even the whole city was rumored about their victory.

So much so that when it returned, many nearby Frenchmen gathered in the port area, and the school even organized a band to welcome the return of these heroes.Even though they are Ming people, even though they are the navy of the Ming Empire, so what, the Ming Empire is their ally.

The victory of Ming Dynasty is the victory of France!

Since it is France's victory, it is worth celebrating!There are many French girls among the crowd who came to welcome them. They even looked at the submarine soldiers with bright eyes, not just because their military pay is high, not because they can go to Daming and enjoy a happy life after marrying them .But because these people are heroes, and every woman has her own hero plot.

There was also a Swede in the welcoming crowd, and like many others, he stood there, happily discussing the defeat of the British and the victory of France with the crowd.He stared at the submarine slowly entering the harbor—although it looked inconspicuous, but God can prove that the S83 is now the most famous star in the world's navies—"Sink three armored cruisers with one boat! "

Such a brilliant victory is a record that no warship has ever achieved. Of course, it is a victory for the Imperial Navy, but what about the Royal Navy?
It is a failure!It is an unprecedented failure!
Ten minutes later, after leaving the port, the Swede walked quickly to the nearby post office, wrote a simple message on a telegram, and handed it to the service desk.Because the telegram was sent to Spain, the service desk staff didn't even realize what a big deal the telegram was.

This is just information sent by a spy...
