"Reported to Lieutenant General, the Chinese warships began to be divided into three groups, one of which was thirty nautical miles ahead of our army, and the other two groups advanced towards the two flanks of our fleet." The communications soldiers sent reconnaissance information again, which made Miyamoto Murakami once again confused.

"The Chinese people actually divided into three groups. It was ridiculous to want to encircle our fleet. I have never seen such a tactic. The combat effectiveness of their three groups is much weaker than that of our fleet. It is easy to be divided and annihilated by our army in three groups. It is impossible to form a so-called encirclement circle. Why do they do this?" Miyamoto's village man did not understand the tactics of the Shinguo Army this time. They used weak forces to encircle powerful fleets in three groups. Such tactics were almost unheard of, because this encirclement circle was almost extremely fragile, and the enemy could easily break through the encirclement and easily divide them and annihilate them. He suddenly raised his nose and said in confusion.

"It seems that the Chinese commander was really confused. He actually used such a mentally retarded tactic. We lined up and rushed to the front of the fleet. They couldn't make any tricks." Sato Sanjiu also frowned, thinking about the intention of the Zhenguo fleet, but he could not think of a clue, so he suggested.

"Order the fleet to advance at full speed, annihilate the enemy ships that intercepted the fleet in front of us, and then divide the troops into two groups to annihilate their enemies on the left and right wings." Miyamoto Murakami didn't care about the encirclement of the Zhenguo fleet at all, and continued to order the fleet to advance unyieldingly.

"Report to Lieutenant General, the enemy fleet did not continue to move closer to our army. The enemy fleet in front suddenly turned around and began to retreat, deliberately keeping a distance from our army." Then Miyamoto received another message that surprised him.

"What are these Chinese people selling in the gourd? Since they took the initiative to provoke the East China Sea, surrounded us, and then retreated to keep a distance from our fleet. What tactic is this?" Miyamoto's village was completely confused at this time. He didn't know what strategy the Zhenguo army adopted. The other party seemed to be here to take the initiative to fight, but when he got in front of him, he suddenly retreated. The fleet surrounded by both wings also deliberately drove away from the north and south, setting a certain distance, which made Miyamoto's village fall into confusion and completely ignored the other party's intentions.

"No matter what, our army simply kills the Zhenguo Army's military port. Since they want to play hide-and-seek for us, we should not be led by them by the nose, and do not have to bother them, for fear that they have any tricks. We can go directly to Shanghai, forcing them to come back to fight us, and then annihilate it in one fell swoop." Miyamoto's village gradually put aside his doubts and immediately issued an order, decisive decision to head straight to Shanghai first, regardless of the direction of the Zhenguo Army fleet, and then attract the main force of the enemy fleet to return to the port in Shanghai and launch a decisive battle near the port.

At this time, underwater in the depths of the ocean, about fifty meters away from the sea, two huge figures of Tang-class submarines quietly submerged in the depths like two prehistoric beasts, lurking quietly below the Japanese Navy fleet. Soon they observed the Japanese fleet's geese-shaped formation through the periscope, and both active and passive sonar monitored the huge roar of their propellers.

The two submarines were separated on both sides and drove down the two flanks of the enemy ships easily and eased downwards. Soon they were getting closer and closer to the enemy flagship Broadcaster Broadcaster, and then gradually slowed down their speed to about one juncture, almost at rest. Their distance from Broadcaster was five hundred meters away. They had adjusted the direction of the submarine and gradually floated below the sea surface. They used a periscope to observe their locations to facilitate their specific identity. After finding the specific locations of the four main battleships, they then aimed at the four armored cruisers led by the enemy and prepared to launch an attack.

"Walrus, walrus, I am a seal. I have entered the pre-determined waters and launch an attack immediately as planned."

"Seal, seal, I am a walrus, I have received the message and execute the attack order immediately."

The two submarines launched their last communication before the attack, which determined the beginning of the attack.

"Torpedo No. 1, launch."

"Torpedo No. 2, launch."

With the crisp and powerful command sounds made by the captains of the two submarines, the two torpedo tubes of the two submarines made a trembling sound. A total of four torpedo tubes fired out of the four torpedo tubes, and shot towards the Hashiri and Itsujima respectively. The angle of the torpedo was adjusted to an excellent position. For the uninformed opponent, this would be the most fatal blow. At such a close distance, they had no time to dodge and escape.

Before the torpedo hit the two Japanese ships, the two submarines quickly adjusted their angles and began to aim at the other two 4,000-ton armored cruisers that followed. The primary task of the submarine was to first sink these four armored ships and eliminate the 320mm large-caliber artillery of the Japanese ships, so that their fleet would have no absolute advantage over the Zhenguo Fleet. The two sides were at the same level, and the Zhenguo Fleet could join the battle relatively safely.

Two torpedoes shot towards the Hiroshima, and the other two shot towards the Hiroshima. They walked silently like ghosts from the deep sea, running towards the enemy with gorgeous tail waves. One torpedo first shot towards the middle of the Hiroshima waterline below.

"Boom, boom, four huge explosions suddenly came from the bottom of the water, as deafening as the thunder, which made the commanders of the Japanese fleet, who were driving in full swing, were shocked, and didn't know what had happened.

Four armored cruisers, including Hashiri and Itsushima, did not notice any vision at the bottom of the water. They were still on the same route as the original route was moving at full speed. With the four loud noises, Hashiri and Itsushima suddenly felt that the hull was hit by a reef, making violent shocks and shaking. There was also the sound of the hull tearing and shaking. The sailors on the ship were almost unstable at the same time, and they shouted and slipped to the ground.

The seats and equipment inside all fell to the ground, making crackling sounds, and various items scattered on the ground. Then there were panicked sailors lying on the ground, and a large pile of glass, porcelain pieces and other debris. There was a mess around. Some sailors wiped the blood from their heads and cheeks with their hands, and supported them from the ground with great effort. They stared at the other soldiers with big eyes, at a loss.

When Miyamoto, who was standing on the deck and blew the sea breeze comfortably and fantasizing for a moment, Japanese ships rushed into the spectacular scene in the Shanghai Military Harbor, suddenly heard the huge roar from his feet and the violent shaking of the ship. His pupils suddenly shrank, and his body quickly became unsteady and fell to the deck with a thump. His nose violently collided with a cracking sound. Then a cracking sound came from the bridge of his nose, and he fell to eat shit. Miyamoto then crawled up with a strong wail, making an extremely surprised voice: "What's going on?"

Miyamoto's villager hurriedly looked at the side. The Sato Sankuang, who had just stood beside him, had now slid three meters behind him. He lay on the ground, his head pressed against the iron corner on the side of the main turret, and flowers bloomed on it, blood flowing. He was holding the blood-filled head in pain with both hands, moaning constantly.

The alarm sounded on the Hashitaki and the harsh alarm sounded on the surrounding sea surface. The Japanese fleet immediately entered a state of alert. All the sailors were on standby at their posts and adjusted the position of the artillery. The officers desperately used telescopes to observe the situation on the sea surface, but they could not see any close enemy ships on the sea surface. They were stunned. Some people even suspected that the two main battleships had an internal explosion, rather than being attacked by the enemy ships. They were at a loss and waiting for the orders issued by Miyamoto.

The ship behind then saw the bridge part of the middle ship above the flagship Bridge Ridge began to catch fire, and thick smoke came out. The thick smoke gradually swallowed up most of the deck. Then the hull began to tilt to one side. The Japanese sailors on the ship ran out of the deck outside in panic, shouting: "Torpedo attack, torpedo attack."

At this time, another warship, The Itsudao, suddenly heard a huge crack from the middle part. A huge crack appeared in the middle part of the Iitdao ship, almost dividing the entire hull in half. The sea water began to rush into the cabin. Some sailors under the warship had not had time to escape to the corridor and were flooded by the madly influx of sea water. The rest ran to the deck in panic and shouted wildly, in a panic. Some people had already climbed over the iron railings on the side of the ship and jumped towards the sea regardless of everything.

Just as the two warships were suddenly shot and began to tilt downwards toward the sea, a huge explosion sound suddenly came from the other two armored cruisers. The two submarines fired four torpedoes at the same time. The torpedo hit the target accurately and hit the center of the hulls of the two armored cruisers, leaving a huge trauma on one side. The two warships then began to enter water, just like the fate of the Hashita and Itsuki. One of them also began to leap with thick smoke and slowly tilt down to one side. Although the other showed no sign of sinking, the internal power device was seriously damaged, the motor had stopped operating, and the hull had also begun to slowly enter water, losing its combat power, and it was sooner or later to sink.

"Give up the lifeboat quickly and prepare to abandon the ship." Miyamoto's muriyama didn't know where the other party's torpedo came from. In just half a minute, he had seen four main battleships being shot one after another. These main battleships were almost scrapped in an instant. They immediately issued orders loudly in panic. The pride on their faces just now was completely replaced by fear and confusion...
