Chapter 13: Sinking the Izumo

What Xu Wen didn't know was that the Japanese warship they discovered was the infamous Japanese Navy Izumo battle armored cruiser in history.

This cruiser Izumo is remarkable, it was built by the British-built Armstrong shipyard and has a displacement of almost 10,000 tons.

Not only did it serve as the seat ship of the Japanese emperor, but now it has also become the flagship of the Third Fleet of the Japanese invasion of China, that is, the command ship of all Japanese troops in the Songhu waters.

Speaking of which, it was also Xu Wen who was lucky, and the devil navy was unlucky.

This Izumo-class cruiser, in the Battle of Songhu, was repeatedly attacked by the Nationalist navy, air force, torpedo boats, but it sank, for the sake of safety, the naval commander of the Japanese army in Shanghai at that time, Nagawa Tani Kiyoshi ordered the Izumo to retreat to the rear of his own navy and army.

In order to avoid a possible attack by the remnants of the Chinese air force and navy, but the devils never dreamed that at the moment when the Battle of Songhu was about to be won completely, a Chinese submarine would appear in the rear of their fleet.

At that time, the Izumo had no other frigates around it, except for two small anti-aircraft gunboats, which served as a symbolic defense.

Therefore, after being asked by Xu Wen, Zhao Shoutian ran back and manipulated the lookout and continued to observe for a while.

Only then did he run over and report to Xu Wen again: "The big boss, it's confirmed, it's just such a big guy, and there are two small boats on its wings, which seem to be anti-aircraft gunboats, and they can't pose any real threat to us at all." ”

At this moment, the system's prompt sounded: "The host was detected and the cruiser Izumo was alone, so it triggered a random mission to sink the Izumo!"

Mission objective, to sink the cruiser Izumo.

Reward; Unlock the system's traversal feature and earn tons of points! ”

"Damn, it's the Izumo!" Xu Wen didn't read much online novels and a lot of historical knowledge in later generations, so he also knew the origin of this Izumo, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he didn't even bother to ask about the system's crossing function, and immediately ordered Zhao Shoutian: "Shoutian, launch a torpedo immediately, and kill the Japanese warship in front of me for me!" ”

"Yes!" Zhao Shoutian received Xu Wen's order, and immediately ordered the bandits to operate the U-shaped submarine, and soon launched two torpedoes one after another.

The two torpedoes were like dragons in the water, and they shot at the Izumo at a high speed against the water.

It was night, and the devils on the Izumo were busy repairing the damaged hull, and no one even noticed that two deadly torpedoes were shooting at them.

Therefore, the Izumo has been in a state of anchoring and mooring, and it has not even dodged, and soon the two torpedoes shot out by Xu Wen and them hit the central part of the hull one after another.

Rumble! Rumble! Two clouds of dazzling red light rose from beneath the surface of the water, and the violent explosion instantly blasted the Izumo-class into a sea of fire.

A large number of the ship's devil sailors were killed in an instant, and then the blast wave of the mine detonated the Izumo's ammunition compartment, causing an even more violent explosion.

Bang! Thundered! The explosion of the ammunition depot detonated the ship's oil depot, and soon the entire Izumo was completely consumed by the flames and smoke from the explosion.

The dazzling red light shot straight into the night sky for tens of meters, illuminating almost the entire airspace.

Seeing this, Xu Wen in the U-shaped submarine couldn't help but be overjoyed, and laughed loudly: "Haha well done!" Brethren, we sank the naval flagship of the little devils on the Songhu battlefield! That's a big deal! ”

Zhao Shoutian, Li Wu and others didn't know how to feel it, and they all cheered with their arms.

Xu Wen was not overjoyed, and immediately ordered: "Okay, the Izumo is finished calfing, the big guy quickly withdraws, let's withdraw to a safe place and go ashore!" ”

Zhao Shoutian and others immediately manipulated the submarine to dive, and then evacuated the water area where the incident occurred in the chaos and night, found a place near Chuanshakou, and quickly docked.

When he was about to evacuate and go ashore, Xu Wen instructed Zhao Shoutian: "Shoutian, you take twenty brothers not to go ashore, just stay in the submarine, wait for my order, and answer us at any time." ”

Zhao Shoutian asked: "Big boss, then how can we get in touch?" ”

Xu Wendao: "I will contact you when I go back, you have to take everyone to protect the submarine, especially the wireless communication equipment in the submarine, this is the only way for us to communicate." ”

"Yes!" Zhao Shoutian suddenly received the order, and Xu Wen instructed uneasily: "You must not be greedy and take risks to attack the devil's naval fleet."

The Izumo was destroyed by the attack, and the devils will definitely strengthen their vigilance and search the surrounding waters.

So, after we go ashore, you can drive this submarine away from this sea area first, withdraw to a safe place and wait for my news, remember! ”

"Yes!" Zhao Shoutian nodded earnestly and agreed.

Xu Wen left him more than 20 subordinates, and himself, Li Wu, Sun Fugui, and Wu Yongqiang took the remaining 80 or so people to evacuate the submarine under the cover of night and go ashore.

Of course, two heavy machine guns and all the light machine guns, submachine guns, were all brought with them.

Zhao Shoutian They don't need these weapons in submarines, not to mention that the U-shaped submarine itself is also equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns, which are used when navigating on the surface of the submarine.

After landing on the shore, Xu Wen immediately summoned the system and asked, "System, can you provide me with navigation, I'm going to find Zhou Weiguo." ”

"Host, this landing ground you chose has been completely occupied by the Japanese army, and now Zhou Weiguo is fighting in the direction of Jiading, you have to lead the team through this Japanese theater in order to join him!" The system replied.

"I know, I want an exact direction! Where to go? Xu Wen said angrily, he is also a lover of online novels, especially the Anti-Japanese War, and he knows no less about the Battle of Songhu than some experts.

"Now go in the direction of three o'clock." The system indicates.

"Oh!" Xu Wen immediately waved his hand, took the lead and ran in the direction of three o'clock, and Li Wu, Sun Fugui and others immediately led people to follow.

Xu Wen held a Thomson submachine gun in both hands, and took the lead in the front, now for the people of Qingfeng Village, life is unfamiliar, and there are constantly various gunshots in the distance, and explosions are heard one after another.

At this time, it was Xu Wen, the big boss, who stood up and led them forward.

As he walked, Xu Wen asked, "By the way, the Izumo has been destroyed by me, why hasn't the mission been completed?" ”

The system replied, "The Izumo has not sunk yet, and only after it has completely sunk can it be considered a successful mission!" ”

"Oh!" Xu Wen thought that the Izumo was blown up into that hanging shape, it must not be able to be saved, and it would take time for the large-tonnage warship to sink completely.

Therefore, he did not ask more, but concentrated on leading the team forward.

Finally, after they walked for about half an hour, the system suddenly sent out a prompt: "Ding Dong, it has been detected that the Izumo battleship has been completely sunk and damaged, congratulations to the host for completing this random mission and successfully activating the crossing function of this system!" And it comes with a reward of 100,000 points. ”
