Almost at the same time that the two cruisers had just been attacked, about twenty nautical miles away, a patrol gunboat about a thousand tons with a sun flag was also attacked by a torpedo from the Jiaolong task force. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In an instant, the patrol gunboat was engulfed in flames and black smoke, and the hull of the ship was instantly torn apart and reduced to nothing.

The more than 100 devil sailors on the gunboat were blown up before they could even send a distress signal.

Although the two light cruisers were damaged and quickly entered the water, they still sent a distress signal through the radio in time, and the Japanese ships of all sizes that were patrolling the surrounding waters immediately approached them.

&nbs{pig}{pig}{island}novel{zhuzhu][dao}p; By the time about a dozen Japanese ships arrived, the two cruisers had almost all sunk, and the only hull that was exposed to the water was crowded with Japanese sailors in white and black sailor uniforms.

Many more Japanese sailors had already jumped out of the sea in fright and disappeared into the blue sea.

The dozen Japanese ships had seven patrol boats and two destroyers, as well as a group of torpedo boats, just as they were preparing to save people.

Twelve XXI submarines descended from the bottom of the water like wolves.

In one of the submarines, Liu Yuntao, who had been promoted to lieutenant colonel and deputy regimental commander, said with a smug smile: "It's this group of little devils who are waiting, and if they really come, all units pay attention and immediately launch an attack to sink them all." Note No. 076, you and I will attack the enemy's two destroyers first, and these ships are the biggest threat to us! ”

"Roger, receive!" The captains of the other eleven submarines responded.

The next moment, twelve XXI submarines locked onto the target from all sides almost simultaneously and fired torpedoes.

Although the Japanese had two destroyers, the anti-submarine technology of the Japanese Navy at this time was still not enough to cope with the attack of the XXI submarines.

The sonar detection anti-submarine device was not at all, so it was unaware of the attack from underwater, and all twelve torpedoes weighing 500 tons accurately hit the target that was being saved.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble......! A series of huge explosions rang out in vain, and a dazzling red light and thick black smoke rose into the sky.

Huge splashes of water were thrown high, and they fell as quickly as the scattered flowers of the goddess.

In the midst of a series of deafening explosions. There is no shortage of ghost soldiers crying for their fathers and mothers, and terrified cries for help.

The two destroyers were also all shot, and the fire quickly caught fire after the explosion of the bomb site, and the fire quickly spread, and the Japanese troops on the destroyers could not save them, so they had to abandon the ships and escape.

There were also devil officers who were seriously brainwashed by militarism, and they were unmoved, and ordered the soldiers under their command not to escape, preferring to sink with the destroyer.

The skirmish ended with the annihilation of the Japanese forces and the attack on the naval fleet in the waters of the Tsushima Strait, and the emergency was quickly reported to the headquarters of the First Fleet of the Combined Naval Fleet.

Isoroku Yamamoto, the current commander of the First Fleet, did not dare to slack off, and ordered the main force of the First Fleet to quickly move towards the vicinity of the Tsushima Strait. On the one hand, he ordered his subordinates to send sea-based aviation units to the area where the accident occurred to investigate the situation.

He also hurriedly sent an urgent telegram to the Prime Minister of the Navy and the Cabinet headquarters.

In the waters of the Tsushima Strait, two Type 92 reconnaissance planes produced by Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries took off slowly from the naval base on Kyushu Island and flew toward the area where the accident occurred.

The Type 92 reconnaissance plane is Japan's main type of reconnaissance plane at present, but its performance is not good, with a maximum speed of only 220 kilometers per hour and a range of just over 1,000 kilometers.

Although they had suffered many losses from the fighters of the Northeast Frontier Air Force, and knew that this kind of reconnaissance plane was seriously backward and could not keep up with the pace of the war, the Japanese were helpless.

This is because the new type of reconnaissance aircraft (Type 94) that replaced the Type 92 reconnaissance aircraft was just finalized last year. It has not yet been put into large-scale production, let alone fully equipped with troops, and it is said that only a few new aircraft have been deployed in Tokyo.

Therefore, the pilots of the two Type 92 reconnaissance planes, Ogura Gohayabusa and Ono Yuichiro, were in a particularly heavy mood.

They all knew that this reconnaissance mission might be going and not returning.

"Ono-kun. Damn the Shina people are coming to attack the Imperial Fleet again this time, are you afraid? Ogura asked through the intercom.

Yuichiro Ono said in a heavy tone: "Since joining the army, I am ready to sacrifice my life for His Majesty the Emperor, the Empire of Japan, and the Yamato nation at any time. ”

As soon as the words changed, Yuichiro Ono said with some unwillingness and anger: "It's this group of despicable people." Unexpectedly, they mastered advanced underwater submarines, and the invincible imperial fleet suffered heavy losses in repeated attacks, but it was powerless to fight back. It's incredible. ”

Ogura Gohayabusa said with deep disapproval: "Yes, the despicable Shina people now not only have more advanced submarines than our Imperial Japanese Army, but also have more advanced fighters and tanks than us, my brother died in Manchuria, according to the news brought back by his friend and boss, my brother was wounded and crushed to death by the advanced tank and chariot of the Shina people...... Whining! ”

"Ogura-kun, your brother is a hero of the empire, and it is a supreme honor to be able to sacrifice his life for His Majesty the Emperor, now put away your sorrow, we must first find out the intentions and numbers of the enemy, and I believe that the base camp will definitely dispatch our aircraft carriers to teach this group of hateful Shina people a hard lesson!" Yuichiro Ono said with a hint of fierce hope flashing in his eyes.

While the two were talking, the two Type 92 reconnaissance planes had already flown away from Kyushu Island and headed for the area where the accident occurred.

When the two piloted the reconnaissance plane to the sea near the area where the accident occurred, Yuichiro Ono's calm voice came: "Ogura-kun, it should be here, let's go down separately." ”

"Understood." After Ogura replied calmly, he manipulated the fighter plane and began to descend in altitude.

When the two of them descended to an altitude of 500 meters, they suddenly found an anomaly, and there was already a huge fleet on the uneven sea, and as far as they could see, there were hundreds of ships.

And as the altitude dropped, Yuichiro Ono and Gohayato Ogura had already seen the blue sky and white sun flags hanging on the top of the ship's stern that were particularly dazzling in the sunlight.

Both of them were shocked, and before they could make a decision, the naval fleet of the Northeast Frontier Army below had already sent out defensive firepower.

Anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns roared to their heart's content, and a dense rain of anti-aircraft bombs quickly spread across the sky.

Ogura Gohaya's plane bore the brunt of the bullet first, and the extremely powerful bullet easily penetrated the paper-thin steel plate of the Type 92 reconnaissance plane.

The Type 92 reconnaissance plane caught fire on board, and then exploded violently, turning into a brilliant fire, and the screams of Ogura Gohayabusa before his death were clearly transmitted to Ono Yuichiro's ears through the walkie-talkie.

"Ogura-kun......" Yuichiro Ono was dumbfounded, his expression was sad, and he immediately piloted the fighter plane to quickly pull up and want to escape.

However, due to the climbing performance and speed of the Type 92 reconnaissance plane, it was not able to quickly pull up when it was diving.

It had just returned to level flight, and it had even increased the area in which it was shot.

"Bang ......" An anti-aircraft shell exploded with a bang, and shrapnel fired from all directions hit Ono's landline.

However, Ono was slightly luckier than Ogura Gohayabusa, as the shrapnel from the explosion did not hit the fuel tank, but only penetrated the steel plate at the bottom of the plane, and radiated through the wooden fuselage above, creating three transparent holes in the plane.

Yuichiro Ono broke out in a cold sweat and quickly made dodge moves, and the plane quickly flipped and flew sideways, narrowly dodging the ensuing anti-aircraft fire.

Yuichiro Ono, who had escaped death, did not dare to slack off, and quickly fled as high as possible in the plane, and at the same time began to report what he had seen to the Navy Fleet Command.

The naval fleet of the Northeast Frontier Army, in the conference room of a battleship.

A major officer strode open the door and walked in, saluted Wang Tiehan, Ives and others, and reported: "Ladies and gentlemen, two enemy planes have just come to reconnoitre, and one was shot down by our navy's anti-aircraft fire, and the other fled back. ”

Wang Tiehan glanced at Ives and the others, and muttered: "Since the Japanese have fled back, our whereabouts will definitely be discovered by the Japanese, and the moment of decisive battle is coming."

Signal Soldiers! ”

"Yes!" A communications soldier standing on the sidelines, ready to speak, stepped forward and replied loudly.

"Immediately send a telegram to the general headquarters, report to the headquarters, and request that the air force be dispatched immediately to prepare for a decisive battle with the Japanese fleet, and our navy will temporarily advance." Wang Tiehan commanded awe-inspiringly.

"Yes" The communications soldier replied with a bang, turned around and took the order to leave.

……………………

Kure County, Headquarters of the First Fleet of the Combined Fleet of the Japanese Navy.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Yamamoto Fifty-six suddenly stood up from his chair in shock, with a surprised expression: "What? A large number of Shina warships were found in the Tsushima Strait? ”

"Yes, General, according to the reports of the reconnaissance planes that escaped back, the fleet of the China Army is large and surprisingly numerous, he has seen the enemy's flag, and it is absolutely certain that they are the China Navy." The subordinate replied.

"What are you going to do? Did they want to attack the Japanese Empire itself? Yamamoto Fifty-six lost his voice and changed color.

"It's not impossible, I guess that just now more than a dozen destroyers and cruisers of our imperial army were sunk, and it should be the enemy's submarine forces that will clear the way for the main force of their naval fleet." The subordinate analyzed it with deep understanding.

Yamamoto Fifty-six's face changed for a while, staring at the map uncertainly, frowning: "If this is the case, then it is terrible, we are not aware of such a large-scale operation of the Shina?" What the hell are the Empire's intelligence services doing? ”

"Your Excellency General, now is not the time to hold you accountable, it is very important to protect the security of the empire's homeland, our navy is the first to bear the brunt, and now we should consider how to keep the enemy out of the country!" The subordinate persuaded.

Yamamoto Fifty-six took a few deep breaths and said in a deep voice: "The ambition of the Shina people is also too great, and they want to attack our homeland, so immediately report to the base camp, and at the same time, immediately order all the departments of my First Fleet to leave the port as soon as possible, and prepare to intercept the Shina people!" ”

"Hay!" (To be continued......)
