This time, there were several cargo ships carrying other cargoes that transported other cargoes. They formed a fleet to sail together, but the destination of these cargo ships was not the main island of Japan, but the port of Kaohsiung, Taiwan. So after passing through the Taiwan Strait, the entire fleet was only one cargo ship, which was also the largest ship in the entire fleet.

"Pay attention to the other party's position and report distance data at any time!" As the submarine got closer and closer to the Takachiho, which was located at the northernmost end of the three Japanese ships, Hao Xuanwei's heartstring became tense. It was not because of his nervousness, but because of an unbearable excitement in his bones. He thought that he would soon destroy the cruiser, which was once covered in blood from the Beiyang Navy soldiers, his heart was in his throat. He wished to pour all twenty-four torpedoes onto the Takachiho, blowing these Japanese devils so much that they couldn't even find any bones.

"The No. 1 mouse has a distance of ten nautical miles, a speed of fifteen knots, and a direction of 030."

....

"The No. 1 mouse has a distance of five nautical miles, a speed of sixteen knots, and a direction of 055."

....

"The distance of the No. 1 mouse is one nautical mile, with a speed of fifteen knots, and a position of 078."

As the submarine 010 approached its target, the sonar heard the noise increasing, and he reported the location of the Takachiho to the captain from time to time.

Another submarine, No. 020, is responsible for approaching the Langsuo, located behind the fleet. A submarine is responsible for a warship, each performing its own duties, preparing to launch an attack calmly when the opponent enters within one kilometer, because the further distance, the smaller the chance of torpedo hitting the target. If the distance is too close, it will affect the safety of its own submarine. Launching torpedoes is a relatively suitable attack distance of 500 meters to one kilometer.

Underwater, the submarine can find that the target has a limited distance with the naked eye, and when using a periscope to rise out of the sea to observe, it can see far. In order to avoid increasing the success rate of attack, both submarines lurk only a few meters below the sea surface. When using a periscope to observe the sea surface, three Japanese ships quickly caught their eye.

"After receiving the message from the Falcon, they have entered the torpedo launch ready state, and the torpedo will be launched in twenty seconds." The communications soldier immediately forwarded the message from the submarine No. 020 that he had just received to Hao Xuanwei.

"Torpedo No. 1 is ready, aim at the target!" Hearing the message soldier's report, Hao Xuanwei's eyes became even more excited. He rubbed his palms together and rubbed them hard, and then issued a loud order to the torpedoist in the head of the boat.

"Torpedo No. 2 is ready!"

"Torpedo No. 3 is ready!"

....

"The launch of the No. 1 torpedo is ready!" The torpedo officer tightened his heartstrings and emphasized with a little excitement.

"The second torpedo is ready!"

....

"Torpedo No. 1 launch!" Hao Xuanwei finally waited for the last moment. When he could see the disgusting Japanese sun flag hanging on the mast sail in the periscope, he could not wait to tear off the flag and tore it to pieces. Then he shouted out loudly and powerfully, not from his mouth, but from the heart.

As the torpedo operator suddenly pressed the launch button of No. 1 Fish**, a large torpedo with a diameter of 50 cm was like a ghostly shark diving deep at the bottom of the water. Its painted black shell reflected a dazzling and terrifying light in the water, and with an indomitable momentum, it shot rapidly towards the Takichiho, who was 600 meters away.

"Torpedo No. 2 launch!" Hao Xuanwei's face turned slightly red, and he continued to issue attack orders with a sonorous and powerful force, and his fingers were trembling slightly inadvertently.

"Boom!" A huge explosion sounded in the deep sea hundreds of meters away, spreading to the surrounding sea like a thunder. The harsh sound made the body of the sonar who was carefully listening to the noise in the water around him suddenly tremble.

"Didn't you hit it?" After this sound, the blue veins on Hao Xuanwei's forehead suddenly burst out and he asked the sonar expectantly.

"The No. 1 torpedo did not hit the target!" The sonar's response made Hao Xuanwei slightly disappointed. His face darkened slightly, but only a few seconds later, another huge explosion sounded, which made Hao Xuanwei's eyes lit up again.

"The No. 2 torpedo hit the bow of the target ship!" The sonar's extremely excited voice came. At this moment, it was like winning a five million lottery. This was the first time he heard his torpedo hit the enemy's ship. How could the wonderful music not make people feel excited?

The officers and soldiers in the boat immediately cheered in unison. Hao Xuanwei beat the first mate standing next to him on the shoulder, which made the first mate grit his teeth and scream, but the pain was immediately covered by excitement.

"Pay attention to correcting parameters, continue aiming, and launch the No. 3 torpedo!"

"Torpedo No. 4 launches!"

On the other side, everything seemed very calm on the Takachiho, and the crew were waiting to return to Yokohama Port, Japan, to end their boring and boring sea career for several months.

"Captain, no, we were attacked by torpedoes. The opponent's location was unknown and the source of the attack could not be found!" When he heard the first torpedo explosion coming from the bottom of the water, the lookout soldiers on the Takachiho began to become a mess like ants on a hot pan. Then a crew member immediately rushed into the command room inside the bridge, and shouted at Shiro Watanabe, who was happily talking to his subordinate officer about how wonderful the geisha in his hometown of Nagasaki was. He drank delicious champagne.

The soldiers in charge of the observation followed the emergency observation and used a telescope to observe around, but no matter what, they did not find any shadow of a warship in another country in the nearby waters. Where did the huge explosion come from? They thought to themselves whether they had encountered an abandoned drifting mine. Although this kind of thing was rare, it had been encountered by many unlucky people in the ocean, so there were many people who died.

"What's the situation? Who dared to attack the naval ships of our Great Japanese Empire? Will you be brave enough if you eat the leopard?" Shiro Watanabe glared suddenly, with a slightly drunk look, and asked the soldiers who hurriedly entered the inner room.

"I wonder if it's..." The soldier was about to explain whether he had encountered a masterless mine floating on the water surface, but when he was halfway through his words, he suddenly felt his feet shaking violently, and his body fell inadvertently, and his body fell to the ground with a thud. His dark and thick skin immediately rubbed against the ground, and blood penetrated out of the damaged skin.

A huge roar came from the depths of the boat. After this, Takachiho Sui suddenly shook violently as if it had encountered a level 10 typhoon. Shiro Watanabe and the other generals who were enjoying delicious food immediately poured down around them. The wine and food on the table poured out and fell on the ground. It was a mess. The wine and vegetable juice spilled on Shiro Watanabe. He was almost stabbed in the butt by the knife transferred to the ground. Fortunately, the tip of the knife was slightly off.

"The torpedo comes from the left, and the helm is ordered to move forward quickly!" Shiro Watanabe struggled in pain and stood up staggeringly from the ground. His face was as gloomy as water, and there was no time to wipe it with his hands. With years of command experience, he immediately judged that the Takachiho was attacked by torpedoes. The direction of the torpedo came roughly from the lower left of the hull. He immediately waved his hands and howled like a pig's feet.

"I found that there was no enemy position!" After Shiro Watanabe received a report that no ship was found on the sea, the blue veins on his forehead suddenly tense up. He knew that he must have encountered a difficult opponent this time, otherwise he would not have been caught off guard by the opponent. However, he was unaware of it, thinking about what kind of person he had such strange strength and could launch torpedo attacks from the visual range.

"Is it..." Shiro Watanabe touched his nose, which was stained with alcohol and cauliflower, and asked himself in confusion.

"Submarine, we encountered a submarine." After trying hard to start my brain, thinking about all possible situations, Shiro Watanabe's eyes lit up, and he realized it at this time.

In this era, submarines had not officially become naval combat ships. It was not until World War I that Germany and other countries used submarines to attack enemy warships and cargo ships. However, just as light machine guns were initially despised on the army battlefield, submarines were not favored at the time. The British believed that submarines were just things used by some small countries with backward naval strength to engage in sneak attacks, and were not worthy of the development of the powerful British Royal Navy.

It was not until Germany used its submarines to unknowingly sank a large number of British cargo ships and the proud Royal Navy large-tonnage ships that the British people realized the huge potential of this equipment and immediately began to vigorously develop submarines.

Therefore, the naval battles of this era basically excluded submarines. Shiro Watanabe racked his brains to think of the emerging mysterious undersea monster like submarines, but it was too late.
