Outside Wusongkou, the hovering carrier-based planes landed one after another on the stern deck of the ship with the word "カ" written on it, and every time the tail hook of the plane hooked the blocking cable, those ground crews in white uniforms would rush up and quickly push the plane away - this was the aircraft carrier Kaga, and she was escorted by the four Shiraro-type destroyers of the 24th Destroyer Group.

"The Commander wants to see you." A voice said, this time it was Captain Hashiguchi Joe, the captain of the flight team.

The plane was immediately pushed away, and after coming to the pilot's cabin, where it did a navy's customary face-covering salute, the commander of the 2nd Air Force, Rokuro Tsukae, began to ask: "The 4th Fleet reported that it had encountered the Shina Navy, is it really the Shina Navy?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Captain Hashiguchi hesitated for a moment before nodding. "I saw the flag of Vice Admiral Chen Shiying, commander of the 1st Fleet in China, and Jin Shanwei was a trap set by the China Navy."

"Chen Shiying?!" Dijiang Rokuro's face was full of surprise, he shook his head categorically and said, "Impossible, the Shina Navy has already sunk!" ”

"Your Excellency, the Shina Navy has sunk, but the main guns of the Shina Navy have not sunk, they are arranged on the coast of Jinshanwei, and they are slaughtering the Imperial soldiers! We should go right away and crit the naval batteries of China! ”

There was an indescribable pain in Hashiguchi's speech. When he returned, the sea of Jinshanwei was like hell, half of the army transport ships were sunk by the artillery of the Shinagan gun, and the ammunition loaded on the ships exploded from time to time, fires and explosions, black smoke obscured the sun, and the sky became extremely dark. The officers and men who fell into the water could only be mixed with mules and horses, grasping everything with buoyancy and floating helplessly on the sea. The 4th Fleet could not save them, only the air force could save them with its slam planes.

"Your Excellency, please!" Captain Hashiguchi couldn't bear to think about the tragic situation on the surface of Jinshanwei, he just wanted to attack immediately.

"Don't worry, you'll be attacking soon." Rokuro called Hashiguchi over just to find out what was going on with Jinshanwei - the 4th Fleet said that it had discovered the Shina Navy, while the Shanghai Dispatch Army Command said that the Shina had set up fortress guns in Jinshanwei. Now the planes of the entire battlefield are concentrated and preparing to attack in the direction of Jinshanwei, but is this too late?

The sound of artillery still roared over the Jinshanwei Sea, but now the sound was more dense - with the pig rush of the 11th Brigade, the No. 3 battery suddenly fired cannons, because the shells were extremely accurate because of the prior mapping. Major General Tokutaro Sakai, who shouted 'Kill urgently', was blown in two at the first volley, and the soldiers of the 6th Division who accompanied him were blown to pieces. After five minutes of rapid shooting, only a pile of minced meat remained on both sides of the Shanghai-Hangzhou highway.

The commander of the 62nd Division, Lieutenant General Tao Liu, wanted to let the 367th Regiment counterattack before, but this was not necessary at all, and the counterattack could only pick up some loot that was not blown up by luck, and now even the ships on the sea are his own, so why rush for a while.

The soldiers of the 62nd Division, who were shocked by the covered shelling, did not come back to their senses for a while, but a staggering figure suddenly stood up in the flesh and blood, and he limped quickly towards the third trench step by step, without a gun in his hand, only a command knife that was no longer shiny.

"Kill urgently!" The man walked not far from the trench and suddenly shouted, and his hands were raised with his command knife in a gesture of chopping.

A bloody man suddenly ran out of hell, which frightened the shocked soldiers, and no one shot at all, and everyone seemed to have forgotten to shoot. But when he saw this man raising his knife against the barbed wire, he screamed a few times and did not cut down. I don't know who laughed 'haha', so everyone laughed - this person must be crazy.

"Eight Ga Ya Road!" The bloody man had long been out of sight, but now he heard a strange laugh and immediately rushed towards the soldier with his sword. 'Boom-', he stepped on the mine and was blown up on the spot, completely lifeless.

"This is the last one to catch his breath!" Lieutenant General Tao Liu, who was at the back of the position, also saw this crazy Japanese officer, probably sympathizing with the same disease, and he hated it with some regret.

"It's dead here, but there's still on the sea." During the bombardment of the No. 3 battery, the regiment commander, Colonel Zhang Kongyi, kept an eye on the transport fleet at sea, which was basically blown up and sunk, but fortunately, four kilometers away was near the sea, which was not deep, and several ships were sitting and sinking, revealing half of the mast. The mast was crawling with soldiers who couldn't swim, and the Japanese destroyers were braving their own artillery fire to rescue them.

Zhang Kongyi said that Tao Liu remembered that there were still a lot of Japanese on the sea. Looking at this sea covered in black smoke and scorched by artillery fire, he suddenly remembered the oil paintings of Westerners, black smoke, red fire, yellow people, gray ships, boiling water, and mournful ......shouts, and there was no stronger color than this one in front of him, "If only I could have a camera!" He said with some regret.

Lieutenant General Tao Yanagi on land was a little regretful, and Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke on the sea was desperate. He saw the 11th Brigade of Zhutu completely engulfed by the artillery fire of China, and he saw the soldiers of the 10th Army floating in the sea, for him, everything was over, if it were not for the end of the battle, he would have been disemboweled on the spot. At this time, he only hoped that the navy could save some more soldiers.

"Ten degrees to the left, set!"

"Ten degrees to the left, set!" There were too many shipwrecks at sea, and in order to rescue the soldiers, the captain of the Natori, Yoshimasa Nakahara, had personally taken the helm. The 140mm guns on the shore were still bombarding the unsunken merchant ships, while the smaller 105mm guns were killing the surviving soldiers on the water, splashing the Natori's deck as they went.

"Drop the lifeboat!" A 105mm shell hit the stern of the Natori ship and exploded, and seeing that the soldiers in the nearby water were all around, Nakahara Masayoshi immediately ordered the sailors to lower the lifeboat. Suddenly, there was a muffled sound of "boom", and the fire and black smoke enveloped the entire hull, and the Natori number seemed to be pushed by something, and the hull of the ship shook violently, and it tilted to the left.

"Did you get shot?" Nakahara Yoshimasa asked the exit and felt wrong, this is not a cannonball, if it is not a cannonball, then it is ......

"Mine found! Mines found on the starboard side!! "After the explosion, tons of seawater poured into the right side of the Natori hull, and the hull of the ship was rapidly ****. Passing through the gap between the soldiers on the sea, the sailors on the mast and deck finally found something. Originally, the sea water near Jinshanwei was turbid, and in order to make the Japanese trap, the mines were also hidden deeply, but the tide continued to recede, and at the same time, thanks to the draft of 4.8 meters by Natori, the painstaking arrangement for three months finally worked.

The mine in the Natori immediately tilted, and the ship was in chaos, and the nearby warship that was rescuing the soldiers who had fallen into the water was also trying to find a way to withdraw from this sea area. The Japanese ships began to be chaotic, and Major Ye Keyu, who had been secretly watching all this on Dajinshan Island, felt that the time had come, he glared at the chaotic Japanese warships on the sea a few times, and said viciously into the microphone: "Pay attention to all stations, launch torpedoes immediately!" ”

The order was passed to the torpedo launching stations on all sides of the island, and in the higher observation holes, each launch station had already set its sights on its own target, but it was suffering from the lack of a good time to launch - everyone was no longer satisfied with sinking the destroyer, and everyone wanted to sink the Japanese cruiser. At this time, the time had come, and the commanders of the stations who heard the order immediately gave the order.

"Launch!"

'Bang, bang, bang...... one after another the torpedoes burst out of the launch tubes, and the gas at the tail end was ejected at great speed, and they rushed towards their target at a speed of forty knots. At the front end of the island, there were eight torpedo tubes at station A and B, and six torpedo tubes at station C. and D, and there were 28 torpedoes in one round of firing, which were divided into four directions and made four fans. However, the torpedoes of the 1st Fleet would not be sufficient for twenty-eight torpedoes, and after the first round, the torpedoes to be loaded that had long been placed at the rear end of the launch chamber were immediately reloaded by shirtless sailors, and in less than three minutes, another twenty-eight torpedoes were fired.

The first to spot the torpedo were the Japanese soldiers who landed on the island, and their purpose was only to search for any Shina soldiers on the island, but before the work was completed, they were stunned by the tragedy at sea. And now, they were stunned by the torpedoes fired from under their feet. They shouted to the warship that there were torpedoes, but no one could hear them.

Twenty-eight torpedoes rushed at the Japanese destroyers and cruisers, and the destroyer Chunyu, the closest to the island, was the first to be unlucky, and the T1 torpedo directly hit the keel of its amidships, and after an earth-shattering bang, the destroyer exploded into two sections.

"Torpedo spotted!" The sailors on the masts of each ship finally shouted, and at this time the sea was full of white torpedo tracks, and no one wanted to be sunk, so more than 20 warships in scattered formations fled separately, but escaping was not a way, not to mention that warships and warships might collide with each other, and each other would block their sight. The reason is this, but there are not only shells, but also mines and torpedoes in this sea area, and no one can form a queue in an emergency. So nineteen of the twenty-eight torpedoes in the first round exploded on impact, and eleven of them hit enemy ships, and the flagship of the 4th Fleet, the Ashigara, was one of them.

"The trap of the Shina people! This is the trap of the Shina people! "On the bridge of the Ashiga, Vice Admiral Toyoda, the commander of the fleet, who had been directing the fleet to shell the shore batteries, was infinitely frenzied, and the chief of staff had warned him to pay attention to the torpedo boats of the Shina Navy, and he had been ordering the offshore destroyers to remain vigilant, but no one could have imagined that the Shina Navy did not dispatch torpedo boats, they were firing torpedoes from an island three nautical miles deep in the sea. This simply changes direction, and who on the battlefield will pay attention to the bullets fired from the side and rear?

"The fleet must retreat! The fleet must retreat! "Deputy Toyoda can't control the army's red deer, and if Yanagawa Heisuke had agreed to retreat before, the navy would not have fallen into the trap carefully laid by this Shina.

"Your Excellency......" The chief of staff and the captain of the ship all looked at Vice Admiral Toyoda, who was about to go crazy with anger, and did not want to carry out this order. At this time, retreating will only be accused by the army of abandoning friendly forces, although the relationship between the navy and the army is not good, but watching the imperial soldiers drown, this is a result that no one can accept.

"If you don't retreat, the entire fleet will be shattered here!" Deputy Takeshi Toyoda really can't control the army. In the round of torpedo firing just now, half of the soldiers who had been rescued returned to the sea, and nearly 1,000 naval sailors were added.

"Torpedo! Torpedo spotted! The lookout shouted again. The flagship did not give the order to retreat, and the warships on the sea were lined up in a wait-and-see position, and the torpedo loading speed of the people was extremely fast, and the second round of torpedo salvos came again.

The Ashigara had already been hit by a torpedo, and although the T1 torpedo had a charge of more than 300 kilograms, the Ashigara was a 10,000-ton heavy patrol after all, and a torpedo was not fatal, but only caused its hull to roll slightly, and the sailors on the ship were well-trained, and the leaky hole was trying to be plugged. However, the second round of torpedoes came again, and Vice Takeshi Toyoda and others on the bridge looked at several white thunder trails rushing quickly, and involuntarily grabbed the white sandbags on the bridge. At this moment, the ship's secondary guns and machine guns hurriedly opened fire on the sea, and the steering gear also turned vigorously, which was able to avoid the first lightning track, and then turned the course again, and another lightning trail brushed by. Every thundertrail passed, everyone on the bridge took a sharp breath, but their hearts were still hanging, and their eyes were fixed on the sea, and finally, all the torpedoes had passed, and everyone was completely relieved.

"Immediately order ......" Vice Admiral Toyoda made up his mind to withdraw the 4th Fleet from this area regardless of the army. But he only started with a 'boom' from the stern of the ship, and the sea and flames rose - the last torpedo that was belatedly obscured by the destroyer hit the stern of the Ashigara, and the propellers were blown away and the other was damaged, and the speed of the Ashigara was about to disappear.

"Hit! Hit! "At the Dajinshan Island Observatory, Major Ye Keyu, who was holding a stopwatch, thought that all the torpedoes shot at the Ashigara were missing, but he didn't want an astonishing fire to explode from the stern of the Ashigata, and he even saw the propeller that exploded out of the water." Fast! Fast! The Ashikata has lost momentum, the Ashikata has lost power, pay attention to each station, and immediately shoot the Footshank! Shoot a full handle right away! ”

"Hit!" On the top of the mountain, Ye Keyu was extremely excited, and at the foot of the mountain, Captain He Xikun, the torpedo chief of the No. B torpedo launch station, was also shouting. However, yelling was useless, and the torpedo had to be hung from the stone wall with a boom in order to reload, which was not an easy task. "Quick, quick, hang down! Hang down. "Captain He Xikun wished that he could turn into a torpedo and shoot out.

"The Ashigara is dead!" At the D launch station on the same side, Captain Liang Xuzhao, the captain of the Hupeng, also heard Ye Keyu's shout, he looked at Lieutenant Chen Feixiong, who was repairing the torpedo tube, and asked anxiously, "Okay?" Okay, no?! ”

"That's it!" Chen Feixiong took out the slow gunpowder that had not exploded just now. The launch chamber was too damp, and only four torpedoes were fired in this round just now, and the other two were dumb fires, so he had to carefully remove the gunpowder and replace it with new ones.

"Get the telescopic sight, we're going to hit it out right away, and the Footgami Dead Fish won't move!" Liang Xuzhao, who had just shone with a telescope, had his eyelids jumping, and he felt that the time had come for him to make meritorious contributions.

"Fixing the depth?" The atmosphere in the stone room is extremely tense, and Ashigara is the flagship of the 4th Fleet, and the 10,000-ton heavy patrol is sunk......

"Five and a half meters!" Captain Liang Xuzhao estimated the draft of the Ashigara, and he didn't want the two torpedoes to be blocked by the destroyer.

"Speed?" Chen Feixiong asked again.

"Zero." Liang Xuzhao looked at the foothandle on the sea with the help of the observation hole, and after saying zero, he found that the foothandle was still moving, and after observing for a while, he said: "Correction, speed four sections." ”

"Distance?"

"Seven thousand eight hundred, torpedo speed thirty." After Liang Xuzhao finished speaking, he waited for a moment and asked, "Ready?" ”

"Ready!"

"Launch!" Liang Xuzhao clenched his fists. 'Bang, bang' twice, two torpedoes jumped out of the launch tube and rushed towards the foot-handle in the distance, and the white thunder trail was like a grim reaper. (To be continued.) )
