The situation is not very good. If we were a robber, then there would be a group of policemen next to the target we were preparing to attack now." Max murmured in a low voice. Under no circumstances, submarines would not fight to the death with regular destroyers. Destroyers were born to restrain submarines. They were faster and less easy to capture, and were full of anti-submarine weapons from beginning to end. Perhaps the success rate of destroyers sinking submarines is not high, but the probability of submarines sinking destroyers is lower!

"Maintain the current course and speed unchanged! The bow and stern torpedo are ready! Prepare for the battle in 10 minutes!" After a brief thought, Captain Max issued an attack order. The Tuna slowly advanced at a speed of 10 knots, and the route happened to be on the extension line of the sailing Japanese fleet! This will be an adventure attack. The submarine's power reserve is not much. After completing the attack, he can only choose to submerge to avoid the attack. Therefore, the captain decided to bare the 4 torpedoes of the bow torpedo tube and 2 torpedoes of the stern in this attack! In the end, at the end

For a period of time, the personnel inside the submarine were ready for the final preparations. Most of them were busy at work. The torpedo operators checked the status of the torpedo tube and the high-pressure gas cylinder required for the ejection torpedo, and completed the final detection and torpedo depth setting. The chief of the energizer began to slowly increase the speed. At the last moment of the attack, the speed of the submarine must be increased to about 10 knots! The loss-guard team members have been in place, and some idle people have also fixed some items firmly on the submarine to prevent people from falling due to vibration or other reasons.

"Distance 800 meters! The torpedo is completed in depth!" As the fire control officer attacked and entered the final shooting calculation and entered it into the torpedo aiming device, the attack entered the countdown! With the issuance of the launch command, the four torpedo launch tubes on the bow of the Tuna ship opened one after another, and the compressed air pushed out a 533mm heavy torpedo with a weight of more than 1.5 tons from the launch tube!

The compressed air and fuel in the torpedo are injected into the combustion chamber through the air pump. The energy generated in the combustion chamber begins to drive the propeller to rotate at a high speed. A large amount of exhaust gas is discharged from the tail of the torpedo. The torpedo is launched from a depth of 15 meters underwater, and then gradually rises to a designated depth of 5 meters. Four torpedoes are shot out in a fan shape, and they are rushing straight over without any sense of the supply ship in the distance!

And that's not the end. After completing the first round of attack, the Tuna quickly turned and aimed at the target with the stern again! Then there were 2 more torpedoes!

"Dive to a depth of 120 meters at full speed, prepare to avoid it!" Before we had time to count down and not have time to confirm the results, the Tuna rudder quickly adjusted, and the bow of the ship was slightly down and fled into the deep sea.

Two minutes later, accompanied by a series of shocking explosions, the Japanese Navy lost the first warship in the Battle of Sulawesi Sea, and the fleet with a displacement of 15,000 tons at high speed to supply the flag Wind! Half an hour later, the US Navy also lost the first submarine in this battle. The Tuna was siege by more than 6 destroyers. No one survived the 35 crew members of the ship!

However, the war sinking of Tuna was not at no cost. Not to mention that after sinking a Japanese Navy high-speed supply ship, the Japanese fleet, which had insufficient supply capacity, needed to be more careful. At the same time, the destroyer troops, which were originally responsible for the flank alert mission of the Japanese Joint Fleet, temporarily left the position. All this was the cheapest submarine that secretly infiltrated the Sturgeon submarine. After more than three hours of navigation on the water and underwater, the Sturgeon submarine finally saw the main ship of the Japanese Joint Fleet in the periscope!

"When we discovered the Japanese fleet, it should be the time of dawn. The sun had risen from sea level, and golden morning glows spread all over the sea. A huge fleet was patrolling the sea. On the outside were some destroyers, and further farther were battleships. In the following tracking, we found at least 6 battleships, and there were more blurry figures in the distance. Needless to say, in front of me was the entire Japanese Combined Fleet! They were swimming in the sea about 80 kilometers northeast of the Talao Islands. They sailed slowly from north to south. At this moment, I felt that God was standing on our side. We found the position of the Japanese fleet and then grabbed the tail of victory!" The captain of the Sturgeon once recalled this after the war.

Of course, such tracking is destined not to last long. After all, it is already dawn. The submarine cruise speed underwater is only about 3 knots to 5 knots. No matter how slow the surface fleet is, it can cruise speeds up to 12 knots. In this case, it will be lost in at most 2 to 3 hours. At this time, you will definitely not dare to float up and track, because in this sea area, in addition to Japanese destroyers, there are also Japanese seaplanes during the day! Today, because something may have happened, the seaplanes become much more unusual!

The tracking of Sturgeon was just the beginning. As information about the Japanese fleet was continuously transported to the US fleet, Sims and others also adjusted the mobilization of the submarine reconnaissance team. More and more submarines were deployed to the Japanese naval patrol area and were advanced to attack easily. After all, for the US fleet, knowing the position of the Japanese fleet is much more meaningful than damaging a Japanese main battleship. As the reconnaissance efforts of the deep-seated submarines increased, the US fleet gradually understood the whereabouts of the Japanese fleet.

During this period, the Japanese Navy also noticed the frequent actions of the US Navy's submarine force, but perhaps out of fear of the US Navy's "aircraft carrier advantage", the Japanese still chose to cruise in the eastern region of the Talao Islands. In addition to increasing anti-submarine forces and constantly changing routes, they did not leave this area later.

"According to the intelligence, we can find that the Japanese fleet is actually on the defensive. Their tactics are very conservative. The fleet is hidden in the eastern waters of the Talao Islands and is constantly maneuvering in an area of ​​200 kilometers long and about 40 kilometers wide. Their specific routes are not standardized, but the general orientation can be determined. The scale of the fleet is similar to what we had expected before. All the main battleships should have come, including two dreadnoughts and four aircraft carriers. The number of destroyers is far less than us, and there are almost no cruisers."

"The Japanese Navy has established aviation power in the Talao Islands, not only seaplanes, but also twin-engine bombers of at least two squadrons. Japan has transport ships to the island every day to transport a large amount of supplies. The current supplies must be enough to support a battle. According to our estimates, the attack power of the aviation power on the Talao Island may exceed that of one aircraft carrier." Logan said.
