"What sound do you listen to?"

Xiao Yonglin, the captain of the "Weaver Girl Shuttle 2" submarine and a second lieutenant of the Chinese Navy, who was hiding in the cave, suddenly straightened up and looked out of the cave vigilantly.

"It's like an explosion." Jiangxi boat crew Wang Changle said.

At this time, the four crew members of the "Weaver Shuttle 2" submarine were all hiding in this cave.

Due to the fact that there are many reefs in the sea around Caofeidian (since ancient times, there are "heroes and heroes, sad Caofeidian" said), "Weaver Girl Shuttle 2" accidentally touched the reef when entering the anchorage of the Japanese fleet, the shell of the submarine seeped water, and the main engine was also damaged to a certain extent, the captain Xiao Yonglin finally decided to give up the attack, with the joint efforts of the crew, the "Weaver Girl Shuttle 2" drove to the edge of the island, Xiao Yonglin and everyone hid the submarine well, and then landed on the island and hid in the cave.

"That's right, it's an explosion." Another crew member, Zhao Enbao, got up and came to the entrance of the cave, pointed to the distance and said, "It seems to have come from the place where the Japanese warship was moored." ”

After listening to Zhao Enbao's words, the other three people in the cave all got up, walked out of the cave together, came to the top of a small hill, and looked at the sea in the distance.

At this time, the sky was pitch black, there were no five fingers around, and there was a dark, clammy and cold mist everywhere, and the four of them stood there, only to see in the darkness in the distance, accompanied by a loud sound like thunder, flashing a large area of red glow.

"It's our people who are here," said Li Jinlin, the crew member, excitedly, "I'm fighting with the Japanese invaders."

Listening to Li Jinlin's words, Xiao Yonglin's face unconsciously flashed a trace of joy, but his face quickly became solemn, and he subconsciously shook his head.

"I'm afraid there's something wrong." Zhao Enbao shook his head and said, "The visibility is so low, it is impossible to launch a night attack in this weather, and you can't even find the target." ”

"But you listen, there is still the sound of cannons," Li Jinlin said, pointing to the red sea in the sky, "What do you say?" ”

Just as Li Jinlin said, in the loud sound of the explosion, it was indeed mixed with the sound of bursts of artillery firing, and even the firing of some small-caliber machine guns

"It's incredible." Xiao Yonglin looked at the red light in the sea fog in the distance, and said softly.

At this time, the red light on the sea surface was constantly flashing, the explosion was getting louder and louder, the gunfire was becoming more and more intense, and there was faintly mixed with the screams of people, and the four Chinese naval soldiers standing on the top of the hill seemed to be able to feel the hot wind blowing in their faces, and they stared at the battlefield of the jī battle tightly, and all of them involuntarily clenched their fists.

"Enemy ship found on the port side"

On the battleship "Satsuma", whose hull had already tilted slightly, a Japanese sailor at the lookout post shouted hoarsely.

Captain Kawama, who was on the bridge, turned his head to look to the port side, and sure enough, he saw a warship moving rapidly in the hazy sea fog.

Without waiting for Karuma's order, several 120-mm cannons on the port side began to roar, and one shell after another flew accurately towards the enemy ships in the sea fog, showing the good combat qualities of the Japanese gunners.

Soon, a 254-mm main turret of the "Satsuma" was also added to the firing. In a short time, several huge shells hit the enemy ship, and with a series of explosions, the enemy ship rose with dazzling fire, apparently hitting the ammunition depot, and Kawama's heart was full of relief to see that the Japanese gunners fought so well.

If it weren't for the excellent combat skills of the Japanese sailors, he really couldn't imagine the outcome of this battle.

At this time, Hejian, somehow, actually had a sense of fear from the bottom of his heart for the weak Chinese navy that he had always looked down on when he came to sneak attack.

In such a dark night when visibility is extremely poor and it is impossible to distinguish the target, it can be said that the five fingers of the fingers cannot be distinguished, and the naval commander of any country would not consider attacking at such a time, and the Chinese navy dares to launch an attack on the incomparably powerful Japanese navy

"The commander of the Chinas is a madman." Vice Captain Kamigawa saw Kawama's inner míhuò and surprise, and said with fear on his face.

At this time, the huge hull of the "Satsuma" tilted again, and Kawama and Kamigawa slipped and almost fell.

"They can still hit us with torpedoes on a night like this." Kamigawa held Kawama with his hand and said, "It seems that we greatly underestimated the combat power of the Shina Navy, and those guys in the naval intelligence department are all pigs."

"Check the damage, we can't stay here and die, if the power system is okay, start the main engine immediately, we have to get out of here now." Kawama sensed the intensification of the tilt of the "Satsuma" and said to Kamigawa. ,

"I understand." Kamigawa nodded, turned and walked away quickly.

Kawama looked at the blazing sea, and although the light of the guns illuminated the darkness, he still couldn't see the battle clearly because of the fog.

He can now judge that it should have been a cruiser that had just been hit by the 254-mm main guns of the "Satsuma".

The madness of the Chinese Navy to launch a night attack with a cruiser in such weather can be seen.

In the firelight, there was a small shadow of the ship quickly approaching the "Satsuma", the Japanese gunners quickly spotted it by the light of the fire, several 120mm cannons invariably turned the fire to it, some 12-pounder rapid-fire guns also joined the firing ranks, the boat passed quickly in the rain of bullets, seemed to want to give up the attack and escape, but failed to succeed, soon, several 120mm shells hit it accurately, with the fire and explosion, the boat quickly disappeared into the sea.

Seeing that this small boat, which might have been a Chinese torpedo boat, was destroyed in an instant, some Japanese sailors couldn't help but shout.

Seeing this scene, Kawama's involuntary joy temporarily overwhelmed the frustration brought about by the battleship being torpedoed by the enemy. At this time, the sea breeze suddenly blew on the sea, the sea fog began to disperse little by little, the sea surface became clear little by little, and the debris and fragments floating on the sea surface that were closer could also be seen clearly.

As the waves pushed, the floating corpses kept shaking on the sea, and seeing so many enemy corpses on the sea, Kawama sneered, and he raised his telescope to look at the floating corpses on the sea.

Kawama scanned the sea through the binoculars, and when he saw clearly what was floating on the sea, Tuǐ couldn't help but soften, his hand suddenly loosened, and the telescope fell from his hand.

Kawama's subordinates did not know what was happening, and soon, with the impetus of the current, several floating corpses floated to the side of the "Satsuma", and several Japanese sailors took the hooks and ran over to fish up the corpses, and when they saw the appearance of the corpses clearly, they couldn't help but look at each other, and each of them read the inexplicable horror and fear in the eyes of the other.

Because they could see clearly that floating on the surface of the sea were the bodies of Japanese naval officers and soldiers

Great fear gripped Captain Kawama's heart, and he stood firm, raised his binoculars again, and observed the situation on the sea.

The sea breeze became stronger and stronger, and soon the thick sea fog was blown away, and everything on the sea surface slowly unfolded in front of Kawama, and by the light of the fire on the sea, Kawama recognized at a glance that it was the light cruiser "Kasaki" that had just been hit by the 254-mm main gun of the "Satsuma".

At this time, on the battleship "Yasaki", whose hull had been seriously tilted, Yuzaburo Kato, who had changed the flagship, looked at the tragic scene on the sea, and his eyes were almost out of his sockets in surprise.

At this time, the fog on the sea surface completely dissipated, and the blazing fire on the sea surface revealed everything around it, and the other Japanese warships also noticed that something was wrong with the situation, and stopped firing one after another, and after a while, the sea surface returned to calm.

"How so? …… Where are the torpedo boats of the Chinese people? Did they all run away? Yuzaburo Kato muttered.

"It's probably the submarine commander," said a staff officer with a crying voice, "and we took our ship as a torpedo boat commander of the Chinese people."

Needless to say, Yuzaburo Kato also realized what was happening, looking at the burning wreckage of the ship on the sea and the floating corpses, Yuzaburo Kato's throat seemed to be choked by something, and he couldn't say a word.

Yuzaburo Kato's body slowly softened, and tears slowly flowed from his eyes.

Looking at his subordinates looking into his eyes, Kato Yuzaburo's heart was torn by guilt, he knew that those subordinates floating on the surface of the sea, and the Japanese sailors who sank into the sea with the sunken ships, would never survive. And their lives were actually taken by the artillery fire of their own people.

Yuzaburo Kato finally burst into tears, and while crying, he held the pistol on his body with his hand, and the pistol was found, and he opened the safety to end his life by raising the gun to his temple. Several staff officers noticed his movements, howled and lunged at him, struggling to snatch the gun from his hand.

Seeing the frantic actions of his subordinates, Yuzaburo Kato remembered his duties as commander of the fleet, and he knew that he could not recover the shame of defeat now, but his subordinates were still here, and as the commander of the fleet, he had to take full responsibility for their lives. He can't die right now.

Now that the four battleships he was proud of had lost their combat effectiveness, the cruiser fleet and the escort destroyer fleet had suffered heavy losses, and if the Chinese navy had attacked with all the warships it had available, his First Fleet would likely have been wiped out.

What he should do now is to bring his subordinates back to Japan safely.

Suicide is stupid.

Suicide is a way for a coward to get rid of his earthly duties.

It would be extremely irresponsible for him to commit suicide now.
