The first wave of eight Type 95 torpedoes completed the attack, and eight more torpedoes of the same type were fired from under the turbulent water surface.
The "Yamato" in the distance has stopped firing its naval guns to avoid sinking its two submarines.
Each submarine can launch twelve torpedoes in five minutes, and even a submarine fighting two battleships can fire six torpedoes at each target.
Continuous explosions blasted across the sea.
The U.S. battleship was completely unable to withstand the torpedo attack so close at hand, and it was too late to even make the most basic counterattack.
The U.S. battleship located to the north of the "Yamato" was hit by eight torpedoes in succession and sank directly to the bottom of the sea, while the two ships to the south were hit by four and three torpedoes respectively and entered a state of waiting for sinking at the same time.
Early models of the Type 95 torpedo carried a 405kg warhead, which was later upgraded to a 550kg warhead.
An ordinary destroyer will be blown into two pieces if hit by one. Even a battleship with a large tonnage cannot withstand three or four attacks at the same time.
¡°The final honor goes to the ¡®Yamato¡¯, hehehe escaped another disaster.¡±
"A battleship blocks the performance of a battle. This is the last performance of the giant ship's heavy artillery"
The two submarines completed the attack and quickly dived to evacuate the dangerous area. The two front main guns of the "Yamato" each aimed at a battleship and fired a fierce blow.
"Today is a day for carnival. All heroes can rest in peace. We are one!"
A commander of the "Yamato" knelt on the ground, his shoulders shaking and tears pouring out uncontrollably. The "Yamato"'s record would not be surpassed by any warship and would become permanent.
¡¡¡¡
"I'm going to take a nap, the Yamato is so touching!"
"Send a telegram to the east. His Majesty the Emperor and the military are waiting for you. Long live the Empire"
Fang Tianlang left the combat command room.
The spectacular scene on the sea in the distance still flashed in my mind.
The sinking of three battleships meant that at least 4,000 to 5,000 crew members would sink to the bottom of the sea forever.
The speed at which navy warships destroy lives is definitely beyond the reach of the army. The number of soldiers killed in a few minutes is equivalent to several reorganized battalions.
Japanese commanders at all levels became excited again, and soldiers hugged each other.
Although the "Yamato" was hit by two aerial bombs, its glorious record of killing three US battleships in one fell swoop in cooperation with submarine operations obviously erased all damage.
The damaged hull can be quickly repaired and restored to its best condition.
There are small forging workshops, high-power furnaces and a large amount of seized steel on Okinawa, and almost all types of components can be produced.
Fang Tianlang returned to the room and entered a state of meditation.
Relaxing the brain is the best rest that can truly relieve fatigue. The battle for Okinawa has just begun. A large number of warships in the European Theater will arrive in twenty days, and the physical requirements will obviously be greater than at this moment.
¡¡¡¡
The US military lost three battleships and seven Curtiss SB2C dive bombers and immediately ordered all battleships to retreat 20 kilometers.
The bad situation of the battle was completely unexpected.
No one would have thought that the landing battle that they were determined to win would encounter hell-level difficulty in the opening stage.
The sinking of more than fifty large warships in three days was equivalent to cutting off an arm of the Pacific Fleet, and it could not be recovered in a short time. Unless an order was immediately issued to mobilize the Atlantic Fleet and allied warships, there would not even be ground fire support. Both are difficult to complete.
Fang Tianlang's slight snoring sounded in the room.
The Japanese commander was very interested in studying how to salvage the weapons and ammunition from the sunken US warship.
The area where the three battleships sank is only a few dozen meters deep. Heavy divers can reach it and transport the unexploded shells one by one from the water.
Although it is a little more troublesome, there is nothing else to do if the US military stops attacking at this moment.
The underwater salvage operation is still in the planning stage, but the operations on land are already in full swing. Nearly a thousand armed civilians brought soil from various places to fill the craters above the underground passages and then restored several underground passages that had been destroyed by the bombing.
Although the aerial bombs dropped by the US military on the first day of the war did not kill many soldiers defending the island, they left huge craters in many areas and collapsed dozens of meters of underground passages.
Repair the damaged area as soon as possible so that you can be in the best condition to face the next wave of attacks.There was silence on the sea.
Dozens of small fishing boats go out to sea to fish as usual.
Even if a U.S. warship sees a small fishing boat fishing, it will not fire ammunition. It will not have any impact on the war situation.
The difficulty of the Battle of Okinawa was at least ten times higher than that of Iwo Jima. There was no chance of getting close to the battle, let alone the subsequent battle.
"Send a report to the US military and return ten wounded prisoners of war. In exchange, we will use a small transport ship to transport our wounded soldiers away. Well of course this is just a cover. We need to transport at least fifty bombs from the mainland Regarding torpedoes, the original idea did not expect that the submarine would have multiple attack opportunities, otherwise we would not have had so much trouble if we had prepared torpedoes earlier.¡±
Fang Tianlang stood in front of a chart showing the ammunition reserves of various types of warships.
In two submarine surprise attacks, five of the eight submarines reinforced by the mainland had fired all their torpedoes.
A submarine without torpedoes is just a piece of scrap metal. Even if the main gun on the front deck is installed back, it will not be of much use. It is undoubtedly a good exchange to use the opportunity of exchanging prisoners of war to replenish the torpedoes.
The U.S. military responded quickly.
Although we know that the Okinawa defenders will definitely smuggle ammunition and supplies, we have no choice at the moment. Being able to retrieve some soldiers can at least restore some of their wounds.
The highest-level transfer order has been issued by the Allied Forces Headquarters.
All warships in the European theater and domestic reserve combat units will rush to Okinawa to start a decisive battle.
A small cargo ship loaded with 60 torpedoes left the Japanese island and headed for Okinawa. The US military also received ten injured soldiers as promised.
The war situation suddenly became stagnant, but an explosive news swept the world within a few hours.
On May 8, 1945, Nazi Germany, which was attacked from both sides, finally announced its defeat and surrender. In an instant, only Japan was left among the three axis powers to face the challenges of the entire world alone.
"As long as we hold on to Okinawa, we are qualified to sit down and negotiate with everyone. No amount of pressure can overwhelm us."
"Send telegrams to the east, shrink the mainland theater, and withdraw soldiers into Manchuria. The Russians will definitely take action in Manchuria at some point in the future"
? Telegrams were sent back and forth one after another.
The Japanese army finally decided to strategically shrink and no longer dream of occupying most of the land of China. It should be the most realistic plan to gradually retreat from various theaters and then gather its forces back to Manchuria to defend the final base.
The Manchurian army is only a short distance from the mainland, and it will be quickly transferred back to the mainland whether by sea or through the Chaomo Peninsula.
