Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 168 When 'Izumo' ends!
"Humph! Humph!."

boom!boom!
While driving the Izumo, the Dragon Boat Festival hummed a song, while the Japanese artillery bombarded the hull of the Izumo continuously.

The outer armor of the Izumo was indeed hard enough, but in front of the devil's large-caliber main gun, it was still torn off piece by piece from the hull.

At this time, the Izumo was riddled with holes, with thick smoke and flames burning everywhere.

But for some reason, this warship actually drove faster and faster.

The two engines that had been shut down before, perhaps because of the constant vibration of the hull, suddenly operated normally, making the speed of the Izumo reach more than 23 knots again.

"Nani?"

Guizi Nanchuan Zhongzuo's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it was true.The originally weak Izumo suddenly accelerated.

The distance between the two sides is less than 500 meters. Although the Nanchuan ship has slowed down, it still needs to be more than 15 knots.

And 500 meters, at the speed of 15 knots plus 23 knots, it is only a blink of an eye.

"Turn the rudder, turn the rudder!"

Lieutenant Nanchuan ordered loudly.Nanchuan began to change course.

But it was too late at this time, and the Izumo was already less than 200 meters away from the cruiser Nanchuan.

boom!Boom!

The other two destroyers fired at the same time as the frigate, hoping to prevent the Izumo from approaching.

However, the outer armor of the Izumo was simply too hard. Although it was attacked by dozens of shells of various types and was punched through thousands of holes, the power system still survived tenaciously.

The hull was vibrating violently, shaking violently.The machines in the power room were also vibrating, leaking air everywhere.

But the speed of the Izumo remained unabated, even though the raging flames outside the door were burning the door of the power room.

In the distance, the soldiers who were still floating in the water looked at the Izumo, which was constantly being baptized by the enemy's artillery fire, and everyone's brows were condensed into a frown.

Because it was a group seat, he drove the Izumo to attract the attention of the devils, in exchange for their hope of escape this time.

Their eyes were moist, and their hearts were filled with grief.Anyone can imagine, under the bombardment of so many artillery fires and the siege of so many fighter planes, what will happen to the fate of the Izumo and the regiment.

"Group seat!"

A soldier roared loudly.

At the same time, the other fighters could no longer control their emotions, sobbing and crying.

Xie Jinyuan, Zhao Beishan, Zhu Shengzhong, Captain Wang, and others all covered their eyes with their hands.

They are commanders, and they cannot let the soldiers see their tears, because soldiers, and especially commanders, should not cry.

They are iron-clad soldiers, even if they shed every drop of blood on their bodies, they will not shed tears.

But at this time, they really couldn't control their emotions.

After wiping his face, Xie Jinyuan roared majesticly: "Everyone, charge to the river bank. We can't waste the painstaking efforts of Tuan Zuo in vain. All of you have to believe, Tuan Zuo, he will definitely come back !"

"Yes, Tuan Zuo will be back. He may be waiting for us on the shore."

"That's right, Tuan Zuo is a general descending from heaven, he won't die. He won't abandon us!"

"Come on, brothers, Tuan Zuo is waiting for us on the shore! We can't let him down!"

"Brothers, go!..."

·············
The soldiers roared angrily, and those who could swim, those who couldn't, all of them swam to the river bank with all their strength.

At the same time, the Izumo was less than 30 meters away from the Nanchuan, and the entire hull was on fire, like a fire dragon floating on the river.

The little devil's shells continued to attack, and the hull was riddled with holes.

The hatch of the Izumo's power room was reddened by the flames and finally couldn't bear it, and it fell to the inside.

Fierce flames burst into the power room.

There was heavy oil stored in the power room, and the oil stains on the pipes were ignited first.

The flame burns along the large and small pipes to the engine.

But even so, the Izumo was still advancing at full speed and collided with the Nanchuan when it turned its rudder at a 35-degree angle.

Boom!

The huge impact sound was deafening, and the two battleships were shaking violently, and even tilted.

The little devil's fighter jets stopped bombing, fired, and circled in mid-air.

Because the two warships were already entangled, if they continued to shoot, it would be easy to accidentally injure the Nanchuan.

Nakazuo Yamato on the plane scolded Nanchuan as a pig, why he suddenly killed him and caused him unnecessary trouble.And in vain to catch a cruiser of the empire.

The two warships collided, and the huge impact directly caused the bows of the two warships to be deeply dented.

A big hole was torn on the port side of the Nanchuan, and a large area of ​​the iron sheet of the hull was torn off.

In contrast, the Izumo is much stronger. Although it is dented at this time, it has not been damaged in a large area.

But at this moment, there was a fierce explosion, and a violent explosion occurred in the power room of the Izumo.

The impact of the explosion directly penetrated the seventh and eighth floors of the ship, and shattered one of the large chimneys as a whole.

The flame was like a blowout, flying more than 30 meters into the air, and then it rushed up and fell back.

As a result, the Nanchuan was affected, and a large amount of burning material was sprayed on the Nanchuan and another frigate.

The two warships caught fire one after another, and some of the devils on board were ignited, screaming continuously.

The Nanchuan devil is still making the final struggle.He gave a loud order to separate Nanchuan from Izumo.

But at this time, the two battleships were already entangled with each other due to the violent impact, and the bow of the Nanchuan ship was leaking a lot, and it was impossible to move.

Boom!

Just when the Nanchuan devil was at a loss, another explosion came.All the heavy oil in the power room, the engine, and the fuel in the fuel depot exploded.The Izumo was blown in half right in the middle.

The ferocious flames created a huge mushroom cloud above the Izumo.

The Nanchuan was hit by this explosion and broke directly in one-third of the battleship. Immediately afterwards, the ammunition depot exploded, and a small mushroom cloud rose again.

At this time, thick smoke was billowing, and the little devil's plane hovering in the sky couldn't dodge in time, and the two fighter planes collided with each other.

Boom!Boom! ...

In the sky and in the sea, the sound of various explosions can be heard almost endlessly. That kind of terrifying scene is like the end of the world.

The Izumo and the Nanchuan sank slowly in the explosion, and the little devil on the Nanchuan jumped out of the ship to save their lives.

The Nanchuan devils were powerless and fled to another destroyer in a lifeboat.

As for the frigate on the left wing, because it was relatively close to the Nanchuan, it was affected by the explosion, and many fires broke out on the surface of the ship, so it had to evacuate, and there was no time for rescue.

In this battle, it can be said that the little devil suffered heavy losses. Not only were seven warships sunk, but six planes of the flying brigade crashed for different reasons.

Devil Yamato was very angry, and he cursed Nanchuan as a stupid pig.If it hadn't been for Nanchuan's intervention, he would not have suffered such a heavy loss!
