Expedition to Europe

Lanfang's torpedo speed is about 50 knots, which is 92.6 when converted into kilometers. A speed of 50 knots is equivalent to running 25 meters per second.

Bao Deshui was indeed a very brave man. He flew the plane until he was only about 200 meters away from the "King Kong" before launching a torpedo.

The battleship "King Kong" is 214 meters long. Although it can reach a speed of 27.5 knots, its cruising speed is only 15 knots, which means it can only run about 8 meters per second.

It only takes less than 10 seconds for the torpedo launched by Bao Deshui to hit the "King Kong". During these 10 seconds, the "King Kong" can only move forward less than 80 meters. Compared with the 214-meter-long "King Kong" With a huge body, this is almost like standing still.

In these short ten seconds, the only thing Kantaro Suzuki could do was shout "Torpedo..."

It was just a shout, and then Suzuki Kantaro squatted down and hugged the table legs tightly.

Well, the table legs on the battleship are welded directly to the floor to prevent the people on the battleship from suffering secondary damage after the battleship is hit.

Immediately afterwards, Kantaro Suzuki felt a violent vibration. The magnitude of the vibration was so great that Kantaro Suzuki felt like his body was flying.

The moment the "King Kong" was hit, Suzuki Kantaro had a clear understanding that the "King Kong" was going to be finished.

What about the Japanese Empire?

Suzuki Kantaro felt cold all over, and wanted to order Muta Kametaro to immediately notify the damage control department to check the shot site, but found that Muta Kametaro had fallen to the floor, with his head tilted to the side at a weird angle.

In the shock just now, Muta Kametaro was thrown directly to the ceiling and his neck was broken.

This method of death was simple, at least there was no pain. Suzuki Kantaro actually felt a little envious. At least Muta Kametaro no longer had to worry about the fate of the empire.

Of course, Suzuki Kantaro will not hesitate to envy Muta Kametaro for too long, and Suzuki Kantaro will soon follow in Muta Kametaro's footsteps.

Lanfang's torpedo planes did not act alone. Each time, a three-plane formation attacked together. The first torpedo dropped by Bao Deshui's formation destroyed the propulsion system of the "King Kong". Now the "King Kong" The ship has lost power and is just like a target ship, and can only be manipulated by others.

Only one torpedo in the first wave hit the "King Kong". After passing over the "King Kong", one torpedo directly blew the destroyer "Chunfeng" on the side and rear of the "King Kong" into two pieces. The last torpedo is unknown. Why didn't it explode?

It was enough. All three torpedoes launched by the three torpedo planes in the second wave hit the "King Kong". This caused the hull of the "King Kong" to begin to tilt due to a large amount of water, and it was only a matter of time before it sank.

From the first moment he was hit, Suzuki Kantaro kept mumbling the word "It's over", as if he was lost, and never issued any orders again.

"Your Excellency, Commander, please transfer to a safe warship immediately." Several staff officers came over to transfer Suzuki Kantaro to other warships.

"No, you go, I won't leave, I want to be with 'King Kong' forever." Kantaro Suzuki refused to leave.

Where can we go? The "King Kong" is about to capsize. Because the "Ise" was hit, a fire broke out on the ship and was spreading towards the ammunition depot. The ammunition depot of the "Fuso" was hit. The entire The warship was blown into two pieces and sank.

The fleet going north is finished, and at the same time, the fleet going south is probably not much better. Suzuki Kantaro no longer wants to leave, he wants to sleep here together with the entire fleet.

When a warship is sunk, the captain sinks with the ship. This is also one of the traditions of the navy.

Although Kantaro Suzuki is not the captain of the "King Kong", as the commander of the northern fleet, Kantaro Suzuki must be responsible for the northern fleet that has suffered heavy losses.

Moreover, Lanfang's planes were still dropping torpedoes, and it was still unclear how many battleships of the northern fleet could escape. Suzuki Kantaro did not want to accept endless investigations in the future.

"Let's go, Commander. Only by remaining useful can you continue to serve the empire." The staff member tried to arouse Kantaro Suzuki's will to survive.

"No, you go!" Suzuki Kantaro wanted to die.

While Suzuki Kantaro and his staff were still in a stalemate, Bao Deshui and the others had returned successfully.

Bao Deshui's mission has not yet been completed. They will continue to load up torpedoes and fly over, and continue to launch air attacks on the remaining warships of the fleet heading north.

Including Chen Kangjian, many people at Ningbeigang Airport have been waiting on the runway to wait. Even if the north wind howls and freezes them, Chen Kangjian and others have no intention of returning to the house to take shelter from the wind.

"Chen, let's go inside and take a rest." Franks Lewis, chief of staff of the Northern Xinjiang Region, couldn't stand it.

"No, you go ahead and don't worry about me." Chen Kangjian kept his eyes fixed on the direction where the torpedo machine disappeared, insisting just like Kantaro Suzuki.

"Whether they succeed or not, we have to take care of our bodies, because no matter what the outcome is, we have to continue fighting." Frank Louis disapproved of Chen Kangjian's irrational behavior.

Think about it, if Bao Deshui and the others succeed, Chen Kangjian will consider counterattacking the Japanese mainland. If Bao Deshui and the others fail, Chen Kangjian will prepare to defend against the next Japanese attack, so no matter what the outcome, Chen Kangjian and the others will continue to fight. .

Thinking of this, Chen Kangjian suddenly felt hungry.

"We're back, we're back..." Someone suddenly shouted on the tower.

Chen Kangjian was immediately shocked.

Just as Bao Deshui and his team disappeared in the sky, several black spots were approaching quickly, and then several more, a dozen more...

"Clear the runway, ground crew, get ready..." Someone was using a loudspeaker to remind the ground crew to get ready.

Needless to say, hot coffee and chocolate were already prepared, and the ground crew responsible for bombing, refueling, and firefighting were waiting by the runway, waiting to get busy as soon as the plane landed.

Bao Deshui and his team didn't let the ground crew wait too long. After only two circles, Bao Deshui was the first to land in his plane.

"What was the result?" Chen Kangjian couldn't wait to climb up almost as soon as he opened the cockpit.

"Everything went well. The 'Fuso' has been confirmed to have sunk, the 'Kongo' and the 'Ise' were severely damaged, and four other destroyers were hit. We won!" Even with the protection of the cabin cover, Bao Deshui's face turned blue from the cold, but his speech was still clear.

"Long live!" The airport suddenly erupted in thunderous cheers.

The original text is available at 6 # 9 @Shu/Bar!

While Ningbei Port Airport was celebrating victory, Laut Island Air Force Base was in crisis.

Everyone knew that the "Haruna" and "Hyuga" might be near Laut Island, but no one knew where they were.

The British and Americans did issue a protection notice for Coconut City, but it did not include Laut Island.

Moreover, because the Japanese warships had not been modernized and there were no radios on them, it was another matter whether the Japanese knew about the protection notices issued by the British and Americans.

Even if they knew, given the nature of the Japanese nation, they might pretend not to know.

The ground crew at Laut Island Airport had already fought hard. They tried their best to launch fighter planes and try to launch all the fighter planes before the Japanese arrived. If these planes were destroyed on the ground by the Japanese, it would be a big joke.

In fact, it was almost nine o'clock in the morning, the sun was already high, and the clouds on the sea had dispersed a lot. Not long after the reconnaissance plane took off, it found the figure of the Japanese squadron.

When the Lan Fang reconnaissance plane found the Japanese squadron, the main gun of the Japanese squadron was slowly moving and aiming at the direction of Laut Island.

This made the pilots on the reconnaissance plane suddenly horrified. Now Laut Island not only stores a large amount of fuel and ammunition, but Qin Zhiyuan is also on Laut Island. Once lost, the consequences are really unimaginable.

Almost without hesitation, the captain named "Yu Zhenshun" ordered the crew to parachute.

Long-term strict training made the crew have no hesitation about the captain's order. Just after all the crew members parachuted, Yu Zhenshun drove the plane directly into the main gun of the "Hyuga".

In fact, the more advanced the weapon is, the more dependent it is on machinery. Even a small problem may cause the failure of the entire system.

So when the reconnaissance plane hit the main gun of the "Hyuga", the motor under the main gun of the "Hyuga" malfunctioned, and the two main guns were temporarily unable to work.

Yu Zhenshun was indeed brave, but the impact on the "Hyuga" was not great. After all, the "Hyuga" was equipped with six 356mm caliber twin-mounted main guns. Only one malfunctioned, which did not affect the other ten guns. Therefore, the captain of the "Hyuga", Katsuki Genjiro, ordered to quickly eliminate the fault and continue to prepare to bombard Laut Island.

Just when Katsuki Genjiro was ambitious to blow up Laut Island, another plane dived down.

For a moment, Katsuki Genjiro wanted to laugh up to the sky. Did the Lan Fang Air Force want to sink the "Hyuga" in this way?

Katsuki Genjiro did not have the opportunity to laugh, because the torpedo plane dived down this time.

At this time, the sky was full of torpedo planes and reconnaissance planes that were looking for the Japanese fleet. Although Yu Zhenshun's behavior did not cause much damage to the "Hyuga", it pointed out the direction for the torpedo planes in the sky.

So in an instant, six or seven torpedo planes dived towards the "Hyuga".

Suddenly, explosions came one after another, flames shot up into the sky, and the waters where the Japanese squadron was located were as lively as a boiling pot.

The torpedo planes that kept taking off joined the attack queue. At this time, there was no need for any formation. Just aim at the Japanese warships, dive down and throw the torpedoes. The Japanese fleet, which had no defense, had no resistance.

October 12th became Japan's "National Day of Martyrdom".
