497 Death of the Nation

Lan Fang's torpedo speed is about 50 knots, which is 92.6 when converted into kilometers, and a speed of 50 knots per hour is equivalent to running 25 meters per second. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Bao Deshui was indeed a master of art and courage, and he flew the plane until it was only about 200 meters away from the "King Kong" before firing the torpedo.

The battleship "King Kong" was 214 meters long, and although it could reach a speed of 27.5 knots, its cruising speed was only 15 knots, which means that it could only run about 8 meters per second.

It took less than 10 seconds for the torpedo launched by Bao Deshui to hit the "King Kong", and in these 10 seconds, the "King Kong" could only move forward less than 80 meters, which was almost as stationary as the "King Kong" was 214 meters long.

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

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

Well, the table legs on the battleship are all welded directly to the floor, just to prevent the people on the battleship from being hurt twice after the battleship is hit.

Immediately after, Kantaro Suzuki felt a violent vibration, and the magnitude of the vibration was so great that Kantaro Suzuki felt that his body had already flown up.

At the moment when the "King Kong" was hit, Kantaro Suzuki already had the realization that the "King Kong" was about to end.

And what about the Great Japanese Empire?

Kantaro Suzuki felt cold all over his body and wanted to order Muta Kamataro to immediately notify the damage control department to check the location of the bullet, but found that Muta Kamataro had fallen to the floor with his head tilted to the side at a strange angle.

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

This kind of death is simple, at least there is no pain, Suzuki Kantaro actually feels a little envious, at least, Muta Kametaro doesn't have to run for the fate of the empire.

Of course, Suzuki Kantaro did not hesitate to envy Mutata Kamataro for too long, and soon Suzuki Kantaro would follow in Muta's footsteps.

Lan Fang's torpedo planes did not act alone, each time it was a three-plane formation to carry out an attack together, and the first torpedo dropped by Bao Deshui and his formation damaged the propulsion system of the "King Kong", and now the "King Kong" has lost power, just like a target ship, it can only be slaughtered by others.

Only one of the torpedoes of the first wave hit the "King Kong", and one of the torpedoes, after passing the "King Kong", directly blew the destroyer "Chunfeng" behind the side of the "King Kong" into two pieces, and the last torpedo somehow did not explode.

It was enough, all three torpedoes fired by the three torpedo machines of the second wave hit the "King Kong", which led to the fact that the hull of the "King Kong" had already begun 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, Kantaro Suzuki kept chanting the word "finished", as if he had lost his soul, and never issued any more orders.

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

"No, you guys go, I'm not leaving, I'm going to be with 'King Kong' forever." Kantaro Suzuki does not go.

Where can we go, the capsizing of the "Kongo" is imminent, the "Ise" is hit, the ship is on fire, and it is spreading in the direction of the ammunition depot, and the ammunition depot of the "Fuso" is hit, and the entire warship has been blown in two and sunk.

The northbound fleet is over, and at the same time, the southbound fleet is estimated to be not much better, Suzuki Kantaro no longer wants to leave, he wants to sleep here with the entire fleet.

When a warship is sunk, the captain sinks with the ship, which 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 Kitakami Fleet, Kantaro Suzuki will definitely be responsible for the Kitakami Fleet, which has already suffered heavy losses.

Besides, Lan Fang's plane was still dropping torpedoes, and it was a matter of saying how many warships in the North Fleet would be able to escape, and Suzuki Kantaro didn't want to be subject to endless investigations in the future.

"Let's go, Your Excellency Commander, and leave a useful body to continue to serve the Empire." The staff officers tried to arouse Kantaro Suzuki's will to survive.

"No, let's go!" Kantaro Suzuki is bent on death.

Just when Suzuki Kantaro and the staff officers were still in a stalemate, Bao Deshui and the others had successfully returned home.

Bao Deshui's mission was not yet complete, they were to continue to load torpedoes and fly over, and continue to launch air raids on the remaining warships of the northbound fleet.

Including Chen Kangjian, many people in Ningbeigang Airport have been staying on the runway and looking forward to it, even if the north wind is howling and freezing and they shrink back, Chen Kangjian and they have no intention of returning to the house to take shelter from the wind.

"Chen, let's go into the house and rest." Franks Lewis, chief of staff of the Northern Territory, was a little overwhelmed.

"No, you go, leave me alone." Chen Kangjian's eyes kept staring at the direction in which the torpedo machine disappeared, and he insisted on it like Kantaro Suzuki.

"Whether or not they will succeed, we have to take care of our bodies, because no matter what the result is, we have to keep fighting." Frank Lewis disapproves of Chen's irrational behavior.

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

Thinking like this, Chen Kangjian suddenly felt hungry.

"It's back, it's back......" Someone suddenly shouted from the tower.

Chen Kangjian was suddenly shocked.

Just as they disappeared into the sky, a few black dots were approaching rapidly, and then several, a dozen......

"Clear the runway, ground crew get ready...... someone is using a horn to remind ground crews to get ready.

Needless to say, the hot coffee and chocolate were ready, and the ground crews responsible for hanging bombs, refueling, and extinguishing the fire were waiting by the runway, just waiting for the plane to land and immediately surround it to work.

Bao Deshui didn't let the ground crew wait too long, and after only two circles, Bao Deshui drove the plane down first.

"How's the result?" Almost as soon as he pushed open the cockpit, Chen Kangjian couldn't wait to climb up.

"All went well, the 'Fuso' has been confirmed to be sunk, the 'Kongo' and 'Ise' were heavily damaged, four more destroyers were hit, and we won!" Even if it is protected by the organic hatch cover, Bao Deshui's face is still blue from the cold, but his speech is still quite clear.

"Hooray!" The airport suddenly resounded with earth-shattering cheers.

While the Ningbeigang airfield was celebrating the victory, the Laute Island Air Base was in crisis.

Everyone knew that the Haruna and Hyuuga were probably near Laute Island, but everyone didn't know where they were.

The British and Americans did issue a conservation proclamation about Coconut City, but it did not include Laute Island.

Moreover, because none of the Japanese warships have been modernized, so that there are no radios on the Japanese warships, whether the British and Americans issued protection notices are different things for the Japanese to know about.

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

The ground crews at Laute Island Airport have fought hard to release all the fighters before the Japanese arrive, and it would be a big joke if the planes were destroyed by the Japanese on the ground.

In fact, it was nearly nine o'clock in the morning, the sun was already very high, and the clouds and fog on the sea had already dispersed a lot.

When the Lanfang reconnaissance plane spotted the Japanese detachment, the main guns of the Japanese detachment were slowly moving, aiming in the direction of Laute Island.

This made the pilot on the reconnaissance plane suddenly shocked, the current Laute Island, not only has a large amount of fuel and ammunition stored, but Qin Zhiyuan is also on Laute Island. Once there is a loss, the consequences are really unimaginable.

With little hesitation, the captain, named "Yu Zhenshun," ordered the crew to parachute.

After a long period of strict training, the crew did not hesitate at all the captain's orders, and after all the crew members parachuted, Yu Zhenshun piloted the plane and directly crashed into the main gun of the "Hyuga".

In fact, the more advanced the weapon, the higher the dependence on machinery, and even a small problem may cause the failure of the entire system.

Therefore, when the reconnaissance plane collided with the main gun of the "Hyuga", the motor under the main gun of the "Hyuga" failed, and the two main guns could not work for the time being.

Yu Zhenshun was indeed heroic, but the impact on the "Hyuga" was actually not great, after all, the "Hyuga" was equipped with six 356 mm caliber twin main guns, and only one of them failed, which did not affect the other ten guns, so the captain of the "Hyuga" Katsuki Genjiro ordered to quickly eliminate the fault and continue to prepare for the bombardment of Laute Island.

Just when Genjiro Katsuki was ambitious to blow up Laute Island, another plane swooped down.

For a moment, Genjiro Katsuki wanted to look up to the sky and laugh, did the Ranfang Air Force want to sink the "Hyuga" in this way?

Genjiro Katsuki didn't have a chance to laugh, because it was a torpedo machine that swooped down this time.

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

So in an instant, there were six or seven torpedo planes diving towards the Hyuga.

Suddenly, explosions rang out one after another, and the flames soared into the sky, and the waters where the Japanese detachment was located were as lively as if they were boiling pots.

The torpedo planes that were constantly taking off joined the attack queue one after another, and at this time there was no need for any formation, just look at the Japanese battleship, dive down and throw the torpedo down, and the unsuspecting Japanese fleet had no ability to resist.

On October 12th, this day became Japan's "National Memorial Day".
