Chapter 560: Southwest Defense Battle (4)
In a sea area one hundred and fifty nautical miles north of the Philippines.
More than fifty submarines have gathered in this seemingly quiet sea area.
The reason they gathered here was because an Air Force reconnaissance plane discovered a large number of naval ships of the U.S. Navy's 1st Fleet anchored on Luzon Island during the day.
After reporting it to Commander-in-Chief Xue Yue in Taiwan, Xue Yue decided to assemble submarine forces and air forces to coordinate and carry out a joint attack on the U.S. naval base and port on Luzon Island.
In order to complete the active attack ordered by Zhang Xinghan and destroy the US military ships as much as possible.
After research by Xue Yue and Air Force Commander Liu Cuigang, it was decided that the air strike would be carried out at night.
This is extremely difficult and a test for the Chinese Air Force, which has never conducted a night battle.
According to the combat plan they formulated, all submarines in the South China Sea need to be assembled first to launch a violent and devastating attack on the US military warships deployed in the waters surrounding Luzon Island.
At the same time, the Air Force fighter group and bomber group took off immediately.
Fly to the sky over the U.S. Naval Base on Luzon Island as quickly as possible and launch an air strike on it.
The underwater wolf pack troops should also move forward immediately and jointly attack US ships from underwater.
At the same time, it is also responsible for intercepting and pursuing U.S. ships to cover the smooth evacuation of the bomber group and avoid the U.S. Navy's anti-aircraft firepower network.
Of course, their most important task is to cooperate with the air force in launching attacks on the US military. As long as they can launch attacks on US fleet ships and destroy the US fleet's air defense firepower, the effect of the air strikes will be expanded accordingly.
The battle plan of destroying more US military ships can then be achieved.
The person responsible for commanding these fifty XXX submarines is Wang Yuntao, the original captain of the first XXX submarine.
He is now the deputy commander of the entire Chinese Navy submarine force, and his military rank is already Vice Admiral.
The No. 01 xxi submarine that was first put into service has now become Wang Yuntao's flagship.
In submarine No. 01, Wang Yuntao asked the adjutant: "How are you doing? Have No. 202 and No. 201 arrived?"
The adjutant replied: "I just contacted them ten minutes ago. They destroyed a large US military oil tanker in the South China Sea. They are coming at full speed now and are expected to arrive to meet us in twenty minutes."
Wang Yuntao raised his hand and looked at his watch and said: "Forget it, the time is up, don't wait for them anymore, give the order immediately, and the boats will set off immediately to launch a surprise attack on the original target. After succeeding, they will immediately attack the US military base on Luzon Island."
Advance towards the port and sink any American ships encountered along the way.
Clear as many obstacles as possible for the air force to attack."
"Yes." The adjutant responded quickly and turned around to convey the order.
More than fifty submarines were like fifty bloodthirsty sharks in the dark sea, opening their fangs and big mouths towards some US military patrols in the nearby waters.
Half an hour later, fifty XXX submarines had destroyed two US destroyers and a dozen small patrol boats.
At this time, a mixed fleet of Zero fighter jets and B-17 Flying Fortress bombers taking off from the Taiwan airport risked their lives and flew towards the US military base on Luzon Island.
As the ships patrolling the perimeter were attacked by Chinese submarines, the U.S. 1st Fleet Command responded immediately.
A large number of submarines and destroyers were dispatched to leave the port and head towards the sea area where the incident occurred.
The Americans are now in an extremely angry mood. They had already regarded it as a shame for them to flee without a fight and be forced to retreat to the naval base on Luzon Island.
Now the Chinese submarine force has taken the initiative to attack its own warships with a provocative meaning. This has made the officers and soldiers of the U.S. Navy's 1st Fleet feel extremely humiliated.
Therefore, more than a dozen destroyers and more than 20 US submarines set off.
They must teach these arrogant Chinese submarine soldiers a lesson and let them have a taste of torpedoes and depth charges.
However, what the US military did not expect was that not long after their destroyers and submarines set off, a large number of Chinese Air Force fighter planes appeared over the Luzon Island military port.
When the piercing air defense sirens rang throughout the night sky, the Chinese's huge mixed fleet had arrived.
Countless aerial bombs and machine-gun shells rained down from the sky, and the Americans who were caught off guard suffered huge losses.
A series of violent explosions occurred in the port, producing huge clouds of fire and smoke rising into the sky.
Many American sailors were killed by violent explosions while they were still sleeping.
Several U.S. aircraft carriers anchored in the port suffered the most violent bombing attacks because of their huge size.
Aerial bombs of different weights fell from the sky, causing violent explosions again and again on the US aircraft carrier.
When the destroyers and submarines that had just left port learned that the base had been attacked, they were shocked and turned around and returned.
At this moment, more than fifty Chinese underwater wolves suddenly arrived and launched a fierce wolf attack on the American destroyer that was just preparing to return.
In just a few minutes, more than ten U.S. destroyers were hit by torpedoes, violent explosions occurred, and fires broke out on the destroyers.
The US submarine ran so fast underwater that it had no idea that the destroyer was under attack.
By the time they realized something was wrong, the destroyer squadron had been nearly wiped out.
At this time, U.S. military submarines, like Japanese submarines, did not yet have real underwater combat capabilities.
Therefore, they are no match for China's wolves.
After a melee, only two of the more than 20 U.S. submarines escaped by chance, and almost all the rest were sunk.
This largest submarine war in history ended with a complete victory by China's wolf pack troops.
At this moment, the Air Force's mixed fleet has almost finished its work.
The US military's naval base on Luzon Island has almost turned into a sea of flames.
Looking from a distance, one can only see raging fires burning and continuous violent explosions resounding in the sky.
Almost ten minutes later, the Chinese Air Force's air raid finally ended, and a large number of fighter planes covered the Flying Fortress bomber group and began to return.
Wang Yuntao led the wolf pack troops to block the exits of the entire US military port in a fan shape.
However, their caution was overdue. The U.S. Navy, which suffered heavy losses in this air attack, had no spare power to pursue the returning Chinese Air Force.
The warships in the harbor were severely damaged. It was not until more than half an hour later, when it was confirmed that no U.S. warships had left the harbor, that Wang Yuntao ordered the wolves to return.
