The Republic of Heroes

Bai Chuanyi felt a little stuffy, so he simply left the command room and stood by the fence of the bridge. The wind from the river brought a bit of coolness, and the farthest places were covered with mist.Bai Chuanyi looked to the northeast, which was the direction of Tokyo, and he could feel that the imperial kingdom had lost patience with waiting.

Strange to say, since Bai Chuanyi stepped out of the command room, the fog around Nagato gradually faded away.Suddenly four white lines appeared on the surface of the river, galloping towards the battleship at a speed of more than forty knots, his expression suddenly became extremely ugly. There is only one possibility for the white line coming at a speed of more than [-] knots, torpedoes!

God!There were actually four torpedoes coming straight towards the battleship Nagato. After a brief moment of stupefaction, he roared almost out of composure.

"There are torpedoes! Let the battleship speed up and evade!"

Bai Chuanyi knew well that the battleship was still at this moment, and it would take more than a quarter of an hour for the gas engine to accelerate, and it would never take more than 5 minutes for the torpedo to explode.Admiral Shirakawa's warning shout caught the attention of the Nagato sailors. They were indeed four torpedoes, but they were desperate because although they saw the torpedoes, they could only watch him getting closer and closer to the battleship and could do nothing.

What was even more desperate was that a sharp-eyed sailor suddenly pointed at the distance and screamed: "Look! There are four more torpedoes!"

"No...not four...yes...eight..."

The sailors were desperate, and were hit by twelve torpedoes with a caliber of more than [-] mm. Not to mention the waterline armor of the Nagato, even in today's world, no battleship can withstand such a severe blow.

In an instant, Bai Chuanyi only felt the hull of the ship shake suddenly, and he couldn't help but grasp the iron fence tightly. His palms were wet with cold sweat and slippery, and he almost missed it.Only a few seconds later, the Nagato ship's hull shook violently again, and then it vibrated continuously.This treaty-type battleship with a displacement of more than [-] tons swayed from side to side on the water like a cramp.

But soon this swaying was replaced by a huge earthquake of unprecedented magnitude, followed by the sound of an explosion coming from inside the ship. To Bai Chuanyi, the end of the world was nothing more than that. He only felt his ears buzzing. He couldn't hear a sound anymore, and he didn't feel anything about the more violent explosions that followed, only the hull that was lifted up by the explosions and then fell reminded him that the Nagato ship was over!

The ammunition compartment must have been hit and caused an explosion. The flames spread at an astonishing speed, and soon reached the first deck, and the sailors who had no time to escape were engulfed in flames in an instant.Billowing black smoke diffused from the Nagato ship, and a black smoke column with a diameter of more than ten meters pierced the river mist and soared into the sky, which was extremely spectacular.

The military attache tried to protect Admiral Bai Chuan to take refuge in a safe place, but soon they discovered that all their efforts were in vain. The flames and black smoke had spread to every corner of the battleship like a plague.There is only one choice before them, and that is Jiang Mian.

"Your Excellency, jump into the river, the battleship is hopeless!"

At this point, Bai Chuanyi had no choice but to allow the two military attachés to put the orange-red life jacket on him, and then he closed his eyes and jumped down.From this moment on, Bai Chuanyi was no longer the Minister of the Imperial Japanese Army, nor was he a General of the Imperial Japanese Army. He was just an ordinary refugee like sailors.

The two aides and military officers followed suit and jumped down. Jumping from a bridge more than ten meters high is full of danger. They may fall on a deck that has been engulfed by thick smoke and flames, or they may be killed by some expenditure ship. Fortunately, Bai Chuanyi was injured by the steel parts of his body. The old man over sixty years of age endured the impact of falling into the water from a height of more than ten meters. grabbed him and tried to pull him away from the battleship.

At this time, the battleship had exploded countless times in succession, and Bai Chuanyi looked helplessly at the Nagato, which was still mighty and majestic a quarter of an hour ago. Even though the huge hull was covered by thick smoke, he could still vaguely see the warship breaking from the middle. , the midship has been completely submerged below the water surface, and the bow is relatively better, but silence will only come sooner or later.

The tragedy was unprecedented, and the Japanese army general felt as if he had passed away, and two lines of turbid tears suddenly fell from his old eyes.He touched the emperor's bestowed knife on his waist, and was about to draw the knife to commit suicide. At this point, he, as a general of the imperial kingdom and a cabinet minister, did not have the face to continue to live in the world.

The military attache noticed his change and immediately stopped his suicide, persuading:

"Your Excellency, you can't, the matter has not been clarified yet, you must first find out the truth..."

That's right, such a muddled suicide is really useless, the military officer's advice worked, and Bai Chuanyi decided to figure out the whole thing, and after he was ashamed, he cut open his stomach and apologized to His Majesty the Emperor.

It's just that he still has this chance?

The two military officers dragged him far away from the range of the Nagato, and the water surface more than ten meters in front of him suddenly parted into two sprays, a monster rushed straight to the water surface obliquely, and then fell again, splashing three people all over their heads. Splashes on the face.

Seeing this, the three of Bai Chuanyi said in unison: "Submarine!"

That’s right, it’s a submarine. The black-gray hull is slender and mighty. A machine gun stands on the bow of the boat. Several soldiers filed out.

The officer's collar badge has a dazzling general star, and he is actually a major general.

One of the soldiers saw three people floating along the river from a distance, and couldn't help laughing: "Commander, we caught a big fish again this time!"

The major general couldn't help but click his tongue when he took a closer look. It was actually a general of the Japanese army. This fish is so big. Chairman Wu really didn't lie to my brother. It is more refreshing to be in the navy than in the army, and it is easier to catch big fish. !Excited, he snatched the submachine gun from the soldiers around him and fired at the water.

"Don't move around! You have become captives of the Chinese navy!" Then he waved his hand and said, "Go down a few people and bring these big fish to us!"

Before the words were finished, there were a few "plops" and "plops", and the soldiers scrambled to jump into the water, twisting the three of them onto the boat without any effort.

The major general looked up and down at the army general who was like a dog in the water, and said with a sneer, "I don't know your name? I am Zhang Liangzuo, commander of the first submarine force of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army!"

Bai Chuanyi is worthy of being a general of the Japanese army. After getting on the boat, he quickly regained his composure. His short body trembled faintly due to falling into the water. With the sword bestowed by the emperor in his hand, he tried his best to restrain his body's natural reaction of humiliating him. It looked a bit funny. .

"I'm Shirakawa Yoshinori!"

Needless to say, any far-sighted Chinese military commander should have heard of his name.
