Warlord: Red Alert Base, I challenge the whole world alone

In the calm sea in the north-central part of the Korean Peninsula, a fleet of merchant ships flying the Fuso sun flag is sailing from west to east. Leading the fleet is a 4500-ton bulk carrier, followed by a long line of 2400-ton and 830-ton small cargo ships.

In this era, 10,000-ton merchant ships were still uncommon, and the Fuso people's 10,000-ton cargo ships were mainly used for ocean transportation.

For example, the route from Fuso to the ancient country is generally carried out by 4500-ton, 2400-ton, 1010-ton cargo ships, tankers and bulk carriers.

This batch of 10 or so cargo ships are all transporting coal.

They transported the coal mined from the ancient country back to their country for use via these coal ships.

In the north, the Fuso people controlled several large coal mines.

At this moment, the fleet was as calm as the sea, and had no sense that the threat from underwater was gradually approaching.

About 8 nautical miles behind the Fuso fleet, a warship from Hans was also heading towards the same route.

At this time, the 50 boat, which was lurking at a depth of about 201 meters underwater, also discovered the uninvited guest that suddenly broke in.

Captain Song Yang of boat 201 had discovered this fleet three hours ago.

So he accelerated and rushed to the front of the Fuso fleet and occupied the T position.

As soon as the Fuso merchant ships came within their torpedo range, they would immediately launch torpedo attacks.

But unexpectedly, a warship appeared behind them at this time.

At first, Song Yang thought it was a Fuso escort warship.

However, when the periscope was raised, it was vaguely discovered that it was not a Fuso warship, but a warship from the Hans country.

"Captain, what should we do now?"

The deputy captain beside him asked with a frown.

It would be absolutely impossible for him to give up this ambush just like that.

But the captain is Song Yang, and everyone must listen to the captain, because the fate of everyone on the boat is in the hands of the captain.

After all, submarines are different from surface ships. Once they sink, no one can escape, and everyone will be killed without a complete body.

Not only the deputy director, but also the helmsman, sonar operator, radar operator and other crew members all looked at Song Yang.

Song Yang retracted the periscope, having already made a decision in his mind.

"Just keep shooting. As long as you don't raise the periscope, it doesn't matter if the Hans see you.

If Hans's warships dare to approach, then we will not be polite."

Submarines would definitely be at a disadvantage when attacking warships, but Song Yang was confident that he could engage them head-on without being discovered.

After all, their equipment advantage is there. As long as they are not moving at high speed, it would be difficult for the Hans warship's sonar system to detect them.

If the periscope cannot be used, then we can only rely on sonar, which is also the killer feature of the 201 boat.

In addition, there is another torpedo that is also used as a killer weapon against merchant ships.

This thing is the T-4 passive homing torpedo.

Its principle is also very simple, which is to use a simple noise detection device for guidance, and it is very effective in attacking merchant ships.

The T-4 torpedo weighs 1937 kilograms and has a range of 20 meters at a speed of 7800 knots, making it perfect for dealing with merchant ships.

At this moment, Boat 201 is like a hunter waiting for the arrival of prey, with the sight of the hunting rifle already aimed at the prey.

Song Yang came to the door of the sonar room and stared at the sonar operator closely.

In this environment, the sonar operator is the submarine's only eyes.

"Distance 2 nautical miles, speed 9 knots...

Distance 1.5 nautical miles, speed 9 knots....

Distance 1 nautical mile, speed 9 knots..."

Sonar operators can clearly distinguish various information through passive sonar.

As the distance got closer, everyone held their breath.

"Distance 1 nautical mile, speed 9 knots..."

1 nautical mile is the attack distance they set. After the sonar operator reported it, he immediately turned and looked at Song Yang.

Song Yang nodded and said, "I'll leave this to you."

Then he went to the command console and picked up the intercom hanging on it.

"I'm Song Yang. Prepare the torpedo room for battle. Open torpedo tubes 1 and 3."

As Song Yang gave the order, the crew members in the torpedo compartment quickly took action.

Each operation seemed very skillful, without any sense of unfamiliarity. It was hard to imagine that they had only been on the submarine for less than 10 days.

At this time, the first merchant ship was already at the T-position of boat 201, more than 1600 meters away.

"let's start!"

The sonar operator immediately turned on the active sonar and shone it towards the leading bulk coal carrier, the Kumano Maru.

When the echo of the active sonar returns to the submarine, the sonar data conversion device starts working and automatically sets the firing parameters for the torpedo.

When the green light came on, the launch button was pressed, and two 533mm T4 heavy torpedoes shot out one after the other. Then the motors were started, pushing the torpedoes forward.

Although the T4 torpedo has a slow speed of only 20 knots, it is still much higher than the speed of merchant ships.

For example, the coal-fired bulk carrier Kumano Maru has a maximum speed of only 13 knots and usually sails at an economic speed of 9 knots.

The two torpedoes quickly increased the speed to 20 knots, and the noise detection device was also activated, firmly locking onto the Kumano Maru, which was the closest and had the loudest noise.

At this moment, the Fuso crew on the Kumano Maru did not realize that danger was very close to them.

It was not until a crew member came onto the deck to smoke and get some fresh air that they found any trace of the torpedo.

But at this moment the torpedo was less than 300 meters away from them.

"Huh...what is that?"

The dark-skinned Fuso crew stopped taking matches from the matchbox and looked in surprise and confusion at the two white marks on the sea surface that were moving towards them rapidly.

He didn't realize it was a torpedo at first.

It was not until he was within 100 meters that he finally saw clearly what the object moving at high speed on the water was.

"Torpedo...It's a torpedo!!!"

After shouting, the crew member decisively climbed over the railing and jumped directly into the sea.

At this time, two T4 heavy torpedoes also successfully hit the underwater part of the Kumano Maru merchant ship.

The thin iron sheet had no effect at all, and two torpedoes penetrated into the hull one after another.

When the captain felt a slight vibration coming from the hull, he realized something was wrong, but it was too late.

“Boom…Boom…”

Accompanied by two deafening noises, the hull of the Kumano Maru seemed to be sailing into the crater of a volcano.

The explosion caused huge waves to surge into the sky, and the 4500-ton Kumano Maru was also lifted up by the impact force caused by the explosion.

Then it fell heavily onto the sea, causing huge waves.

Immediately, flames shot up into the sky from the merchant ship, and thick smoke enveloped the entire merchant ship almost instantly.

The torpedo also tore a huge hole in the side of the merchant ship, and the sea water rushed in like a broken dam, pouring back madly.

It was only then that the crew realized they were under attack.

They cried out in panic and despair, their instinct for survival making them rush out.

However, the raging fire had blocked their escape route, and the sea water was pouring in frantically from behind, completely cutting off their hope of survival.

The influx of seawater caused the 4500-ton merchant ship to begin to tilt.

At this time, the coal in the cargo hold was also ignited by the high temperature, which was an epic intensification of the flames on the ship.

The Kumano Maru suddenly exploded and was then engulfed in flames.

This sudden scene left the Fuso crew members following behind stunned.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what was going on.

Why did the Kumano Maru suddenly explode?

This is the question that arises in everyone's mind.

This scene also alarmed the German Navy's Emden light cruiser, which was less than 6 nautical miles away from the scene.

This is a light cruiser with a tonnage of up to 7000 tons. It is also the largest ship stationed by the German Navy in the ancient country, equivalent to a flagship.

The shocking explosion of the Kumano Maru attracted the attention of all the crew members on the ship.

Lieutenant Colonel Colen, the captain, was also alarmed and hurried to the porthole to look through the telescope.

"what happened?"

When he saw the Kumano Maru with flames rising into the sky and gradually being swallowed by the sea, Lieutenant Colonel Colen asked in confusion.

"I don't know. It seems like there was an explosion all of a sudden. But judging from the noise, it's definitely not an ordinary explosion. Either they triggered a mine, or they were attacked by a torpedo."

An officer said with a serious expression.

"Mine? Torpedo? How could they appear in this place?"

Since you don't know what's going on, just keep watching.

At this moment, the merchant fleet was a little panicked due to the sudden attack, but it did not affect the 201 boat's second round of attack.

This time, another round of two T4 heavy torpedoes were launched.

The target was a 2400-ton coal carrier, which was closer to the submarine, less than 1500 meters away. (Because the submarine was also moving slowly)

One torpedo would have been enough to destroy a merchant ship of this size, which was only 2000 tons.

But Song Yang was afraid that he would miss the target, so he still used two.

A distance of 1500 meters is not very far for a torpedo traveling at 20 knots.

In nearly two minutes, the torpedo advanced more than 1200 meters and was less than 300 meters away from the target.

At this time, the Fuso crew finally discovered the incoming torpedo.

But they discovered it a little too late.

Merchant ships are too slow and not very maneuverable.

When they were at full power, the T4 torpedo noise detection device was firmly locked.

The two torpedoes followed the trajectory of the merchant ship and hit the merchant ship one after another in front of their terrified and desperate eyes.

Its fate was even worse than that of the Kumano Maru. In the earth-shaking explosion, it was torn into two pieces by the huge power of the torpedo.

"Torpedoes, torpedoes hit us."

At this time, the Fuso merchant ship finally understood what was going on.

Great panic swept over all the crew members.

So they all ran at full speed in all directions.

Because only in this way will their chances of escaping be greater.

"Torpedoes. They were attacked by torpedoes launched by submarines."

Suddenly, Hans's crew members on the light cruiser Emden were shocked.

"Submarine? Damn it, how could there be a submarine in this place, and it even attacked the Fuso merchant ship."

Colen looked at this scene in disbelief.

Boat 201 also began to accelerate and chase the fleeing prey.

These Fuso merchant ships have a very slow speed, while the 201 boat has a maximum underwater speed of 17.9 knots.

There is no need to hide your tracks when facing these merchant ships.

Because even if they were discovered, it would not threaten the capabilities of the 201 boat.

A one-sided hunt at sea began.
