Shiina Taro's idea makes sense, one of the reasons is that the Japanese submarine ships and troops basically do not fight in concert... The Japanese army's coordinated operations have always been a basic weakness, and this is even more true in submarine ships. It can even be said that the Japanese army does not know how to use submarine ships at all. For example, they have been using submarine ships to attack destroyers and aircraft carriers, rather than choosing enemy transport ships that are easier to attack and safer.

In this battle, Shiinya Taro wanted aircraft and submarine ships to conduct coordinated combat... For Shiinya Taro, he did not require the submarine ships and aircraft to cooperate closely, he only required the submarine ships and aircraft groups to launch attacks on Chinese ship groups at about the same time.

In this way, the Chinese ships will face the dilemma of losing one thing to the other... They only have twelve destroyers. If these destroyers want to defend air, they will inevitably ignore anti-submarine. If they are anti-submarine, they will inevitably ignore air defense.

At this point, Shiinya Taro placed his hope on the submersible ship, because the enemy has air and sea radars, which can easily detect Japanese aircraft groups, while the submersible ship can potentially escape the enemy's eyes.

From this we can also know the contradictory character of the Japanese, or it can be said that Shiini Taro is not sure whether the focus of this battle should be on the fighter plane or on the submarine ship. If there is a key point, it would be fine. You can decide to use fighter planes to cover the submarine ships, or use submarine ships to cover the fighter planes... But Shiini Taro is equally important to both ends, hoping that both can arrive at the same time and launch an attack on the enemy at the same time.

This tactical idea is very good. If this can be done, it will indeed cause great trouble to the Chinese team.

However, Shiinyutaro did not consider the technical feasibility of this tactic for Japanese submarines...

The problem is not that Japanese submarine ships, which can lurk in the water for a long time and are difficult to detect, and can even lurk next to the target water in advance and wait for orders. Therefore, it is completely feasible to launch an attack on the target at the same time as Shiinaka Taro imagined.

The problem is the "totabs torpedo" carried by the submarine.

The "Torpedo of the Sky" is used to bring people, which means that you have to install someone in and operate... Although this can greatly improve its hit accuracy, it will also bring a series of troubles.

For example, the diameter of the "Changtian torpedo" reaches one meter... without one meter, the total length is nearly fifteen meters.

Without this width and length, one person cannot be installed at all. The necessary control system and explosives are three times more than ordinary torpedoes (Note: 1550 kg of torpedoes are charged).

The consequence of this is that this torpedo cannot be installed in the launch tube in the submarine like an ordinary torpedo, but is fixed on the deck of the submarine ship and released only when it is to be launched.

This seems like a trivial matter... Isn't it just that the submarine ship is carrying a few torpedoes with a diameter of one meter on the deck? It doesn't have much impact on the potential water!

But in fact, this has a great impact. The most direct impact is that the underwater speed, which is already very slow, is slower, and the diving depth is greatly affected... The "Changtian torpedo" cannot withstand too much water pressure.

What's more serious is that the "Chongtian torpedo" has to be brought to people, and there is no oxygen system in the "Chongtian torpedo", and there is no pipeline connected to the submarine ship in the "Chongtian torpedo".

These many reasons lead to the "Sky-Returning Torpedo" that must be prepared for attacking before attacking submarine.

The "offensive preparation" mentioned here refers to the operator having to enter the "sky-return torpedo" and carry an oxygen cylinder to provide breathing for the operator.

In other words, the Japanese submarine must have an action, which is to float up when it is very close to the target, and then let the operator climb from the submarine ship into the "return torpedo" before he can dive into the target to attack.

This distance is usually considered to be six kilometers, because the underwater speed of Japanese I-type submarines is only seven to eight knots, and six kilometers will take about an hour to sail. If the submarine is farther away, it is possible that the oxygen in the "Changtian torpedo" will be used up before the submarine is approaching the target.

This action is obviously very dangerous... In particular, in order to achieve the goal of Shiinya Taro's attack on the Chinese fleet at the same time, the three submarines of the Japanese "Chibala" special attack team must be "attacked" in about the same time, which means that they surfaced almost at the same time.

The alarm sounded immediately among the Chinese fleet.

Zhang Chi, who was resting in the aircraft carrier command cabin, jumped up from the bed and asked, "What's the situation?"

"Teacher seat!" Staff Liang replied loudly: "Discover three enemy submarines...a distance of five kilometers, five-minute kilometers, four kilometers!"

Hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but gasp, and then three submarines appeared.

But when I think about it again... it's not right. Isn't it enough that these three submarines approached quietly and launched a sneak attack? Why do they float up at such a close distance at the same time? And it's during the day?!

Then he thought about it again, Zhang Chi's face turned pale immediately... The Japanese must have dispatched the "Returning torpedo".

At that moment, Zhang Chi stopped hesitating and ordered: "Move quickly, send fighter planes and destroyers to sink them immediately!"

"Yes!" Commander Liang responded and immediately assigned a destroyer and two fighter jets in each direction.

Zhang Chi dared not send too many destroyers and fighter jets out, which is also common sense in naval battles... The enemy's exposed position in this way is likely to be luring the tiger away from the mountain. If too much power is allocated, the result will be to reduce the protection power of the aircraft carrier in a certain range, which is the most deadly.

The fighter jets are the fastest because there are already several fighter jets patrolling over the sea. Once they receive the order, they fly to the designated position. Then they soon find a submarine that is still preparing, which is to arrange personnel to climb into the "Returning torpedo".

Of course, the pilots would not be polite to the Japanese. They would shoot rows of bullets at the submarine if they dived... The submarines could be said to have basically no protective armor, and once they were punched by bullets or machine guns, they would be very dangerous when diving.

As a result, the three submarines of the "Qiancao" special attack team lost two before they launched an attack. One of them was dropped by the bomber who was promoted to reconnaissance mission on the spot and sank the bomb. The other was injured and unable to sink. It was also sunk by the destroyer that rushed to the scene.

The only one is the "Yi 44" that successfully escaped the roundup of the fighter planes and destroyers of the China Team... The captain of this submarine is Colonel Eguchi. He is a smart man. He knows that once the submarine floats, it will definitely expose the target and attract the enemy's plane, so it was the earliest to float. At the same time, only two operators were arranged to board the "Come torpedo"... Colonel Eguchi calculated the time in advance, and even if there was one more second, the "Yi 44" could not successfully dive.
