Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1662 Capturing the Enemy Ship
As a result, the boarding battle was much easier than the staff imagined.

Few of the crews of the Eighth Route Army had received military training, and the same was true for the crew of the Devils.

On the other hand, the devil's crew is not as crazy as the devil's army, and they desperately launch the so-called "jade broken" attack with the enemy... This is related to the fact that a considerable part of the devil's navy has studied abroad and is influenced by western education. Its overall atmosphere is similar to that of the army. Militaristic education is different.

More importantly, when the crew of the Eighth Route Army boarded the battleship "Musashi", the battleship "Musashi" had been on fire for almost an hour. Some of the hundreds of crew members died due to lack of oxygen, some fainted, and most were in a semi-comatose state.

Because, when the Eighth Route Army soldiers rushed in with the box cannon carefully, they encountered almost no resistance. Only in the power cabin did they encounter resistance from the devils and more than [-] military police, and a small-scale battle occurred.

After the beating, the more than [-] gendarmes were dead, wounded, and two were captured. Xu Huandong wiped his sweat in the first interrogation: These [-] gendarmes entered the engine room with explosives and planned to blow it up. , They don't want the "Musashi" to be captured by the Eighth Route Army almost intact.

It would be an exaggeration to say that the "Musashi" is almost intact, because her buildings outside the deck have been burned to a mess, and the anti-aircraft artillery, anti-aircraft machine guns, seaplanes, etc. have all been burned out.

However, the devil military police think that it is "almost" intact and there is nothing wrong with it, because the main body of the battleship is actually the valuable things inside it, such as 12 large boilers, 4 steam turbines, and a main engine weighing more than 5000 tons. More than 1000 tons of electrical equipment and so on.

As for the external artillery, except for the large-caliber naval guns, the others can be said to be "a drop in the bucket".

Afterwards, it was found that none of the valuable naval guns had been burned, because the "Musashi" naval gun had thickened its turret armor in order to better engage in artillery battles with the enemy: the thickness of the frontal armor of the main gun was 650MM, the weakest There is also 250MM on the side, and the fire has no effect on it at all... If there is any effect, it will suffocate a few artillerymen inside.

The devil's military police had a good idea. They only needed to blow up the most important power source. Even if the Eighth Route Army handed over the "Musashi", it would be useless.

This idea is correct, because the Eighth Route Army simply cannot produce such a large steam turbine as the "Musashi".

However, what broke the military police was that the "Musashi" protected itself too well. Its engine compartment and boiler compartment were all protected by 75MM armor. The military police held explosives and had nothing to do with them.

(Note: The external armor of the "Musashi" power cabin is 200MM thick, and the other parts are 75MM to 90MM, of which 90MM is used for the bottom of the ship because it may hit rocks and mines)

These explosives did not detonate until the gendarmes were wiped out... A wounded gendarme really wanted to detonate. Although it could not blow up the power cabin, the explosion in the inner closed space could at least kill or injure some of the Eighth Route Army who rushed in.

But in the end this behavior was stopped by two gendarmes who planned to surrender.

It is understandable that the wounded gendarme wanted to detonate the explosives. He would not survive, so he dragged a few down to cover his back, but the living gendarme didn't think so.

Therefore, after more than an hour of thorough suppression, the "Musashi" was successfully captured by the Eighth Route Army.

This result surprised Wang Xuexin, and it was not one accident but three accidents.

Originally, Wang Xuexin thought that it would be good to sink the "Musashi". After all, this thing is a battleship, known as the "unsinkable battleship".

It is very difficult or even impossible for anti-ship missiles to sink it, because anti-ship missiles can only destroy the part of the waterline.

However, anti-ship missiles can knock it out of combat effectiveness. To be precise, its anti-aircraft firepower is disabled so that its naval guns cannot be used normally.

This allows the Coast Guard to get close to it and torpedo it to sink it.

Sinking is the easiest thing, and the captives dare not even think about it.

But I didn't expect that from Xu Huandong's report, he was expected to be captured...

Take prisoners, take them!

Wang Xuexin thought that even if the battleship was captured, it would be dilapidated.

Devils are not good men and women. They will not easily let battleships, especially the "Musashi", be captured by the Eighth Route Army.

Who would have thought that most of the devils had been burned unconscious by the missiles, and they would be powerless to destroy them.

At this time, Wang Xuexin thought again, even if this is the case, it is impossible for this thing to still work!

Who would have thought that Xu Huandong and his crew would try to activate it while interrogating the devils' captives, but they would actually succeed, and then he would drive the battleship slowly towards the shipyard under the protection of several warships!
These pieces of information drew cheers from the headquarters again and again, and they were equally surprised by this.

It wasn't just the Taiyuan headquarters who were surprised by this, even the headquarters couldn't believe it after receiving Zhang Zongping's telegram. Basically complete, isn't it true?"

"It's true!" Wang Xuexin replied: "Regimental Commander Xu took some time to conduct a general inspection of the warship. There are basically no problems internally. Except for the anti-aircraft firepower, bridge, radar and wiring being bombed and burned externally, the naval guns It's all complete!"

"Not bad!" The chief on the other end of the phone smiled from ear to ear: "So, we also have battleships!"

Then the chief asked again: "By the way, did Toshihei Inoguchi find it?"

"Not yet!" Wang Xuexin replied: "Through interrogating the devil captives, we know that a seaplane took off urgently at the last critical moment. It is estimated that Toshihei Inoguchi escaped on this seaplane!"

This is true.

Originally, Toshihei Inoguchi hoped to live and die with the warship. This is the tradition of the Imperial Fleet... In fact, the captains of many countries on the warship have such plots. The captain will choose to sink with the warship.

But the staff officer urged him from the side: "Major General, if the warship is blown up by the enemy, then I agree with you to live and die with the warship! But now the warship may be captured by the enemy... and we cannot blow up the warship and sink it!"

This may be the sorrow of the "Musashi" ship, because the armor and protection are thick and tight enough, even if it wants to sink itself, it is not an easy task.

The staff officer continued to persuade: "So, your wish to sink with the warship cannot be realized. If you continue to stay on the ship, you will either die at the hands of the Eighth Route Army or be captured by it. No matter which one is, you will give the Eighth Route Army military exploits. Add a heavy sum!"

The staff officer was right. Toshihei Inoguchi was a rear admiral, and he was a well-reputed rear admiral in the Japanese navy. If he was killed or captured by the Eighth Route Army, he would be another Kihide Abe.

In desperation, Toshihei Inoguchi boarded the seaplane with the staff and ejected at the last moment...
