Jagged Warlord

The transport ships of the Japanese Navy began to gradually approach Qingdao Port.The Japanese troops on the shore also began to prepare for the landing of reinforcements.At this time there were no landing ships.It's all after the big ship has reached the open sea.Then use barges to send materials and personnel to the shore.But Qingdao has a big wharf built by the Germans.The situation is slightly better.

Major General Yasuzo Torizaki saw Qingdao engulfed in flames from his flagship.The artillery of the Chinese army is pouring shells mercilessly.Can't help but say: "What are the Chinese people doing? Are they going to recover Qingdao or destroy Qingdao." There is no target in the telescope, and the whole Qingdao is burning, exploding, and flames are spreading and flowing like magma ejected from Mount Fuji, which cannot be stopped Are they crazy? They don't want Qingdao anymore! All buildings will be destroyed if they fight like this!

Prince Fushimi said in a deep tone: "Because that is their city and their country. The Chinese people have already made preparations for the destruction of the city and the preparations for the Oshima Lord and the garrison to make amends. This is the Chinese people It is said that it is better to have broken pieces of jade than to have whole tiles."

At this time near Jiaozhou Bay.Except for the Japanese fleet.There is also a British warship from Weihai watching the battle.

"What a spectacular sight. Is this the anger of the Chinese people?" The cruiser HMS Athena of the British Far East Fleet was quietly cruising ten nautical miles away. European artillery fire has ceased.But the Far East.A new battle for supremacy seems to have just begun.

"General, do you think Japan will lose this war?" The captain and officers who were about to return home to fight surrounded them, their eyes never leaving the city full of burning and explosions.

"The victory or defeat of a war depends on the strength of the country, and it also requires firm will and fearless determination." Manchester's eyes were calm, and his tone was indifferent, trying to maintain his neutral and objective principles as a third country: "But more careful planning is needed And goals! We are at a disadvantage in Europe, not because we are weaker than Germany, let alone because we have no spirit of sacrifice, but because we have no plans in advance, and no goals in advance! Although the Japanese also have goals. That is to expand in China Interest. But what is interest? It is invisible and intangible. After all, it is not as clear and eye-catching as the Chinese people’s explicit request to recover a city.”

Everyone's attention was attracted by the rumble of guns on the shore.No one noticed in the icy water.Behind the periscopes are the pairs of eyes full of anger, determination, or hatred.Under the slightly rotating periscope, there is a group of people who were so soaked in the sea that they almost forgot their body temperature, and their one-eyed eyes were shining like extremely cold waves. After the Japanese navy was distracted by the land war, they opened their mouths and quietly revealed Sen Han's face. tusks.

The captain of submarine No. 08 is named Liu Tengda.His ancestors were originally from Jiangxi.His father, Liu Fajia, worked as a servant for a Frenchman.Later, when the Frenchman returned to China, he felt that the Chinese servant was easy to use.Take him to France.Liu Tengda was born in Marseille, France. Life before the age of 20 was the same as that of all Chinese descendants in France, until one day he saw a poster saying that the French Navy was recruiting sailors, so he went for an interview with the hope of giving it a try, but unexpectedly passed and received a two-year naval training , and then guarded the colony for France for four years on a river gunboat in the French West African colony of Senegal.A few months ago, someone told him that the country was recruiting sailors with sailing experience.

Liu Tengda suffered from insomnia that night, whether it was "China" or "motherland".In fact, there was only one symbol left in the young Liu Tengda's mind, but he finally agreed.

"Report to the captain." The observer said, "I have discovered the large Japanese army~."

"Oh." Liu Tengda stood up from his seat.Push the observers away.Operate the periscope yourself. "Well... Liu Tengda murmured: "The big battleships are all hidden in the middle.There are other warships blocking the periphery.Can't hit it directly. "Liu Tengda said angrily.

but.Soon Liu Tengda discovered that several main warships of the Japanese army were finding that the enemy's land artillery fire could not threaten him.When the sea conditions are relatively bad, in order to ensure the accuracy of the hit as much as possible and not waste the few heavy shells, the ships such as the Iwate and the Shufang actually lowered the bow and stern anchors at the same time! The front and rear anchors were lowered at the same time, which means that the Japanese Navy is All the battleships that were bombarded were unable to move! Even if the boilers were still under pressure due to the need for electricity, it would take at least four to five minutes to retract the anchor chains at the fastest speed and maneuver after being attacked.

Since the communication between submarines mainly depends on radio telegraphy.Unable to communicate with each other in a short period of time, Liu Tengda decided to start with the main battleship of the Japanese army in order to avoid wasting precious torpedoes by hitting the wrong target.

The sailors in the submarine immediately took out an atlas.The graphics and tonnage of Japanese warships are printed on it. "Report to the captain. The closest ship to us is the Japanese ship Shubo."

"Torpedo tubes one to four are ready." The torpedo man moved quickly.As soon as the torpedo was loaded, he yelled loudly

"Launch~." Li Yougui waved his hand.Four torpedoes with air bubbles in addition to the launch tube.Like a shark smelling blood, it rushed at the Japanese battleship Shubo.

As a result, several small ships suddenly moved near the Shufang.Accidentally blocked the torpedo for Zhou Fang.

boom

A fuel ship was centered by a torpedo.The air blast from the explosion threw black coals high into the sky.Then it fell like rain.The other three torpedoes hit Matsue, Wakamiya Maru, and Kanto Maru respectively.varying degrees of damage.

"What's going on. Did you hit a mine?" Major General Yasuzo Torizaki was very surprised after receiving the damage report.

boom~boom

There were two loud bangs again.The two black-headed torpedoes hit the starboard side of the Zhou Fang almost at the same time. The torpedoes in the World War I era were relatively small. Which ship can defend against two consecutive torpedoes? The sudden violent explosion shook the hull of the Tsukuba ship with a standard displacement of 1350 tons. Before they could react to what happened, the deck quickly tilted to the left.

周防号战列舰原是俄国太平洋第一分舰队的“胜利”号战列舰。1899年2月9日开工建造。1900年4月28日下水。1902年5月19日建成。日俄战争中编入第一太平洋舰队参战。1904年3月31日触雷受创。7月28日参加了黄海海战。12月7日被日军炮火击沉于旅顺港。1905年被日军打捞修复。编入日本海军。改名“周防”。10月25日更名为“周防”。加入日本海军。舰级列为一等战舰。。12月16日被拖航至横须贺进行修理。1908年10月重新服役。第一次世界大战中作为日本第二舰队的旗舰参加进攻中国青岛的战斗。

周防号排水量13500吨、全长132.6米、14500马力、航速最大18节、续航力10000海里/10节、火力由2座双联装维克斯式254毫米L/45炮。10座单装阿姆斯特朗式152毫米L/40速射炮。16座单装阿姆斯特朗式76毫米L/40速射炮：四具457毫米水下鱼雷管组成。荷载舰员783人。

Major General Yasuzo Torizaki and Prince Fushimi are very strange.How could it explode?Judging from the part of the hull where the bullet was shot.It should not have been caused by artillery fire on the shore.It's more like hitting a mine or a torpedo.But wasn't the China Navy driven away?Moreover, Rear Admiral Toizaki Yasuzo did not find other ships on the nearby sea.

"Submarine." Although Rear Admiral Toizaki Yasuzo immediately thought of this new naval warfare weapon that made a splash in the hands of the Germans.But it is impossible for the Chinese to have submarines.

"It is impossible for the Chinese Navy to have submarines. The Germans did not deploy submarines in the Far East. It is impossible for the Chinese to receive them. Then the only possibility is that they touched a mine." Major General Yasuzo Torizaki made his own judgment. "But this series of lightning strikes is too strange."

Just as strange as Rear Admiral Toizaki Yasuzo were other Japanese naval officers and soldiers.The sea is very calm.And the minesweeper team had already cleared this sea area a few years ago.How could there be mines?Could it be that everyone in China rearranged the mines.Or maybe the last minesweeping didn't clean it up.Let the mines float along the sea.

"Hit it! Hit it! Haha." Just when the Japanese were puzzled. In the cramped and crowded submarine No. 07, the sailors hugged and high-fived each other.

"Liu. Well played." The German technical consultant also hugged Liu Tengda very relieved. "Let these bastard Japanese suffer."

No. 07 is not the only submarine cruising near Laizhou Bay.There is also No. 03 submarine Wang Dafa.On the starboard deck of the Second Fleet battleship Iwami.A Japanese sailor is urinating into the sea.I vaguely saw a long "fish" under the water.Coming from the southeast corner.

"What a fast fish..." The sailor was completely dumbfounded. The Japanese sailor put away his short thing.One side belt.While muttering.what fish is this.There is such a speed.I grew up by the sea.I haven't seen it yet.The sailor's belt was still unfastened.I saw that the "fish" had come directly below his eyes.

boom.

The right side of the entire battleship exploded violently.A huge explosion shook the entire hull.The hull shook violently.Captain Akita, who was in the bridge, was caught off guard.One staggered and fell to the ground.After getting up.Akita roared loudly. "Baga. What's going on? Did you encounter a mine?"

隶属第二舰队的石见号属于石见级战列舰。原是俄国太平洋第二分舰队的“鹰”号(Oral)战列舰。该舰于1905年5月28日的对马海战中被日海军击伤包围被俘。随后被拖往吴港修理。6月6日被命名为“石见”。舰级列为一等战舰。7月29日开始在吴海军工厂进行整修改造工作。换装了全部的152mm炮和203mm炮。1907年该舰重新服役。1910年在浦贺船坞再次进行了现代化改装。1912年8月28日舰级变更为一等海防舰。第一次世界大战中被编入第2战队参加进攻中国青岛的战斗。

Not waiting for Akita's shoulder-high roar to die down.Boom boom boom.A series of explosions and the surrounding calm sea made Akita think of two terrifying weapons at shoulder height. .Submarines and torpedoes.

Akita shouldered high and hurriedly shouted to the signal soldier: "Call the flagship. We may be attacked by a submarine."

"Hi."
