Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Lao Jiang's reaction

The sound of the torpedo explosion sounded, and the staff officers one by one rushed into the command cabin of the warship to report the latest damage to the warship to Colonel Gu Yi.

"Captain, the gap that was just blocked by the bow of the warship was shaken open again by the explosion, and a large amount of seawater is constantly pouring into the cabin, and the damage personnel cannot approach the gap at all..."

"Captain, the damage control personnel who went to the middle of the ship reported that the gap in the middle of the ship is too large, and it is impossible to jinháng to block it with only the number of people..."

"Report to the captain, because a large amount of seawater is constantly pouring into the cabin, the entire ship is showing signs of sinking and pouring...>

Faced with more and more bad news one after another, Gu Yi Dazuo's face was slowly shrouded in despair." "The chapters of the novel are updated the fastest.Turning around and walking in front of the commander, Rear Admiral Kaneda, he said, "Your Excellency, the battleship Fuso is about to sink due to serious damage. I beg you to transfer to the cruiser Furutaka and continue to command the fleet to fight...>

The battleship Fuso sank into the sea. It is conceivable that after this loss is spread, what a storm will be set off throughout the country.You know, this is a battleship with a tonnage of more than [-], not an ordinary destroyer.Looking at the entire Imperial Navy, there are absolutely no more than ten ships in the Nénggou and Fuso battleships.

And in front of him, one of the less than ten battleships was actually lost in Ziji's hands.And it was sunk by the Chinese navy, which almost didn't have a real naval fleet.

Major General Kaneda can imagine that losing the battleship Fuso, even if Ziji is lucky enough to return to Japan.It was also the entire Japanese naval community that greeted Ziji.Even the denunciation of the entire empire.

Feeling the battleship that started to tilt slightly under his feet, he saw the eyes of all his subordinates looking at Ziji quickly.Major General Jintian felt in his heart.directly into a difficult choice.After a short hesitation, he turned to Colonel Gu Yi with an unwilling face and asked in a deep voice: "Gu Yijun, can you jinháng make up for it..."

Colonel Gu Yi shook his head in despair, and said, "Your Excellency, the protective armor below the waterline of the warship, Yijing was blown out of five large holes with a diameter of more than one meter. Our damage management personnel cannot block these large holes at all. So, wait for the result of the Fuso battleship. There is no other way out except for being buried in the bottom of the sea.”

As soon as Gu Yi Dazuo's voice fell, all the subordinates standing behind Major General Jintian said in unison: "Please, Commander, please transfer to the heavy cruiser Furutaka and continue to command the battle...>

The chief of staff of a fleet that followed Rear Admiral Jintian, Chief of Staff Tian Ye, was very sympathetic to Rear Admiral Jintian's worries at this moment.In order to save Ziji's life, and also for Ziji's future military career, he opened his mouth and analyzed to Major General Jintian: "Your Excellency, Commander. Although our mixed fleet was defeated, this failure was not because of our inaction, but rather The enemy is too cunning. Using a kind of naval warfare tactics and aerial bombs that we have never seen before, we were caught off guard. Therefore, I think that the responsibility for this defeat is not in our fleet headquarters... >

"In order for the Imperial Japanese Navy not to make the same mistakes in the future Chinese battlefield. We must return to Japan. Report this situation to the Ministry of the Navy in detail. Study specific countermeasures and tactics. For the future of the Imperial Japanese Empire, and for the remaining Bring the next two heavy cruisers back to Japan, and try to recover the loss of my mixed fleet. I implore the commander: Mǎshàng transfer to the heavy cruiser Furutaka and continue to command the battle."

Facing the sincere eyes of Tian Ye Da Zuo looking at Ziji, facing Tian Ye Da Zuo's analysis.Major General Jin Tian's eyes, which were still dignified just now, suddenly flashed a bright light.

The only worry in my heart was solved by the chief of staff, and the commander, Major General Jintian, no longer has any worries about the future.On one face, the arrogance and majesty that should be the supreme commander of the fleet appeared immediately.Facing everyone, he ordered in a firm tone: "In this case, I order: Fleet Command, mǎshàng transfer to the heavy cruiser Furutaka, continue to command the battle..."

Seeing the subordinates who breathed a sigh of relief, Rear Admiral Kaneda immediately shifted his gaze to the captain of the battleship Fuso, Colonel Koyoshi.He opened the mouth and said, "Gu Yijun, for the Imperial Japanese Navy, what is lacking is not warships, but excellent naval officers and soldiers. Therefore, I allow you to lead all the officers and soldiers of the fleet to abandon the battleship voluntarily if the battleship Fuso cannot be kept." , transferred to the Furutaka cruiser. Leave a useful body and continue to serve the Imperial Japanese Navy, in order to avenge the Chinese Navy in the future..."

As the captain of a warship, without accident, being buried in the bottom of the sea with the warship is their only way out.Otherwise, even if he escapes back to Japan, what awaits him is a trial in a military court.But now, Major General Jin Tian's words undoubtedly gave Colonel Gu Yi a legitimate opportunity to continue to live.

Looking at Major General Jintian, he responded gratefully: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, the humble "fan" ngbái...>

The flag representing the flagship of the mixed fleet, although it was handed over to the heavy cruiser Furutaka in the first shi.

However, as the only battleship in the mixed fleet... the Fuso battleship was buried at the bottom of the sea.It still caused a huge blow to the morale of all officers and soldiers of the mixed fleet.

The remaining officers and soldiers of the Japanese army's mixed fleet were full of hatred for the submarine that had been hiding on the bottom of the sea and did not dare to surface.I can't wait to attack immediately, find the Chinese submarine lurking in Zhouwéi, blow it up and sink it into the sea, and avenge the battleship Fusang buried on the bottom of the sea.

However, in the face of ubiquitous bomber attacks in the sky, coupled with destroyers with speed advantages and anti-submarine capabilities, Yijing died on the seabed successively in this naval battle.There are only two cruisers left in the mixed fleet, and a destroyer covered with scars, it can be said that there is no power.I can only watch the Chinese submarine force, hiding in the dark under the sea, firing torpedoes at Ziji round after round.

The commander, Rear Admiral Kaneda, has just been transferred to the cruiser Furutaka.The flag representing the flagship has just been hoisted from the cruiser Furutaka.It has been active in the mixed fleet zhouǎshàng to launch "launch"."Shoot" all the torpedoes in the torpedo tube..."[

Order issued.The four submarines scattered around the Furutaka cruiser are directly on the seabed at a depth of 500 meters.A total of 16 torpedoes were fired from different directions.

Sixteen torpedoes galloped across the sea, quickly creating a white spray on the calm sea.

Seeing the torpedo rushing toward the cruiser Furutaka, the little devils naval observers who were scattered on the warship Zhouwéi subconsciously let out an exclamation.

"Torpedo...>

"Not good, 8 torpedoes appeared on the port side of the warship, please avoid..."

Eight torpedoes are spaced 50 meters apart from each other.An attack area with a width of more than 400 meters was formed directly on both sides of the Furutaka cruiser.And within this attack area, no matter how hard the Furutaka cruiser turned around, it couldn't escape one of the torpedo attacks.

Besides, with an attack distance of 500 meters, for a fast-moving torpedo, the attack time is less than ten seconds.

From the time when the Japanese naval observers discovered the torpedo, until the captain Jinháng's order to evade the torpedo actually reached the engine room of the warship, five seconds passed unknowingly.

In addition, because of the strong inertia of the warship, even if it turns around.It is also necessary to drive forward for about three or four seconds along the original route.Only less than two seconds were left for the cruiser Furutaka to turn around and evade.

Two seconds is time, such a huge warship.How many horizontal torpedoes can be avoided?

On the cruiser Furutaka, there were hundreds of naval officers and soldiers from the commander, Rear Admiral Kaneda.Put your hands together, and start to send shihou of ziji prayer to Amaterasu.

"Boom boom boom... >

Compared with the Fuso battleship, the Furutaka heavy cruiser.No matter in terms of warship tonnage or warship protective armor, they are not comparable at all.As the number one battleship of the Japanese Navy, the Fuso battleship could not withstand the damage caused by four torpedoes attacking Ziji at the same time.

Injury, not to mention the cruiser Furutaka whose protective armor is only two-thirds of the thickness of the battleship.

Four explosions sounded, and four large holes with a diameter of two meters suddenly appeared on both sides of the warship.

In the cabin of the warship, there are swarms of little devils who want to block the gap in the warship.Seeing these four big holes that couldn't be repaired by hand, they all showed helpless expressions.Watching a large amount of sea water continuously pouring into the cabin, but there is nothing to do.

Seawater poured into the four large holes at the same time, and in just ten seconds, hundreds of tons of seawater poured into the cabin of the warship one after another.

Rear Admiral Kaneda, the fleet commander located in the command cabin on the upper deck of the warship, has not yet received a detailed report from his subordinates.I could clearly see that the huge hull of the Furutaka cruiser was slowly sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The cruiser Furutaka was attacked, and its speed was undoubtedly greatly affected.Among the remaining three warships in the Japanese mixed fleet: the cruiser Furutaka was attacked and her speed was affected; the other two warships, the cruiser Kako and a destroyer, continued to advance at the same speed.

The Kako cruiser, which is of the same level as the Furutaka cruiser, gradually became a lonely family, completely exposed to the remaining four submarines in the submarine squadron.

Another attack order was issued, and 16 torpedoes, like sharks smelling blood, galloped towards the cruiser Kako.In a blink of an eye, five torpedoes slammed into the protective steel plate below the waterline of the warship.

Perhaps it was because of the good luck of the Kako cruiser.A torpedo happened to hit the protective steel plate where the warship's ammunition depot was located.There was an explosion, and a piece of torpedo fragments flying at high speed penetrated another partition in front of the ammunition depot without any accident, and flew into the ammunition depot.Finally, it plunged into a naval gun launcher package that blocked the flight path of the fragments. [

Because of the heat, the hundreds of naval guns piled up together fired the "powder" packs, just like a turán detonated gunpowder pile, directly bursting out a gorgeous firework.The "powder" package exploded suddenly, causing a large number of naval gun shells in the "powder" package to explode again.In a blink of an eye, the ammunition depot, which had accumulated hundreds of rounds of naval gun shells, exploded as a whole...

Thousands of kilograms, or even tens of thousands of kilograms of high explosives exploded at the same time, and the explosion occurred inside the warship.No matter how thick the protective armor of the warship protecting the ammunition depot is, it will be blown to pieces.

The explosion of the ammunition depot sounded, and the entire warship centered directly on the ammunition depot.Was blown off the waist.

One battleship, two heavy cruisers.It was attacked by torpedoes successively and sank to the bottom of the sea.Of course, the only destroyer left in the Japanese mixed fleet was not spared.a submarine.Four torpedoes, sending it straight into the sea.

With a battleship, two heavy cruisers, and a Japanese mixed fleet of six destroyers, they all died in the sea without even seeing the shadow of Qingdao, China.The Ninth Army, which was facing it, would not pay any price other than spending more than 100 tons of ammunition.

Looking at the victory telegram sent by the Navy Command from Qingdao, Chief of Staff Jiang Baili.He stood up from his seat directly out of excitement.He said happily: "Commander-in-chief, this time, we used the facts to slap the little devil hard. Let them know that our Chinese navy is not weak...>

"The complete annihilation of a mixed fleet of the Japanese army with zero casualties is definitely an unprecedented feat on the naval battlefield..."

Speaking of which, the excited Jiang Baili, Yijing began to calculate from the bottom of his heart: Follow this style of play.No matter how much the Ninth Army needs to pay, it can wipe out the Japanese combined fleet.Facing Li Guosheng, he said with longing.

"Commander-in-Chief, according to intelligence, all the ships of the Japanese Combined Fleet can be added up. At most ten of the mixed fleets we just eliminated can be formed. That is to say, in up to ten such naval battles, we can send the Japanese Combined Fleet. into the sea..."

Li Guosheng shook his head, smiled wryly and said: "Chief of staff, you can't calculate it like this. After this battle, although the Japanese Navy Department didn't come to the battlefield in person. But. Tongguo telegram, they also somewhat love our way of fighting. Do you think, Will the little devil foolishly send another mixed fleet to die?"

Jiang Baili smiled awkwardly, and responded: "Commander-in-Chief, I am sympathetic to this. I am just happy to think about it. However, the significance of this naval battle to my Ninth Army and to the entire Chinese nation is absolutely unparalleled...>

Speaking of this, Jiang Baili turán thought of the conversation between Ziji and Li Guosheng a few hours ago.His eyes lit up, and he asked, "Commander-in-Chief, now the specific results of the battle have come out. Look, do you want to make the results of the battle public in accordance with the method we agreed in advance, so that the entire Ninth Army, the entire Chinese nation, Everyone knows that the Ninth Army Naval Formation has achieved great results...>

"That's for sure...>

Then, a strange smile quickly flashed across Li Guosheng's face.Facing Jiang Baili, he asked back with a smile on his face: "Chief of Staff, do you think Lao Jiang will show a shime expression after learning that our Ninth Army was attacked by the Japanese mixed fleet?"

Jiang Baili didn't want to think about it, so he blurted out: "Old Jiang? In my opinion, apart from being happy, there is no other expression... >

"As Lao Jiang, who hated us deeply, he dreamed that the Japanese would wipe us out, or weaken our vitality as much as possible. Now, this opportunity has finally come, can he be unhappy? Maybe this time, he I'm celebrating with Ziji's confidantes at Ziji's house, celebrating my Ninth Army being attacked by the Japanese army...>

Li Guosheng nodded noncommittally, and continued to ask: "Then Ruguo, let's send this telegram to Lao Jiang. Do you think that Lao Jiang will have a sympathetic reaction after reading the content of the telegram...>

Jiang Baili stopped asking this question.After a short thought, he opened his mouth and said: "In my opinion, Lao Jiang's first expression after reading this good news, no accident, must be shock and disbelief...>

Seeing that Jiang Baili had finished speaking, Li Guosheng continued to add: "As you said, whether it is shock or astonishment, it is Lao Jiang's first reaction. And after the first reaction, in my opinion: Lao Jiang's face , will definitely show a fearful expression... >

Seeing Jiang Baili's thoughtful expression, Li Guosheng explained: "The fear I'm talking about comes from two points: first, the fear of our Ninth Army's combat effectiveness...>

"The second point is that the Japanese "government" is afraid that in order to retaliate, it will launch an all-out war against our country and shake its dominance in the country...>

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Baili's face showed an expression of interest, and he said, "I was excited at first, then shocked, and finally scared. Ruguo made Lao Jiang's mood change in one day. It's really interesting that such a big change has happened. Commander-in-Chief, I seem to be "fascinated" by what you mean..."

Li Guosheng immediately ordered: "The 'lost' ngbái will do it...>

Seeing Jiang Baili who was about to leave, Li Guosheng quickly stopped Jiang Baili and continued to add.

"Of course, we have to guard against Lao Jiang's superb political skills...>

Jiang Baili nodded in agreement, and quickly responded: "Commander-in-Chief, you can relax...>
