February 29, 1944. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoBohai Sea Coast.

Back in the early morning hours of February 29th.

In the sea off the Bohai Sea, the wind is very strong, and it is a north wind. The waves are high. This is the northern part of the Shandong Peninsula, and the water depth is not very deep. It is a little distance from Dalian and very close to Long Island in Shandong. To the south, you can't see the Shandong Peninsula, and to the north, you can't see the Liaodong Peninsula, and you can only see a few small islands.

Now, the sky is just dawning, and if anyone were on those small islands, they would see six huge warships, and only a little shadow on the water could be seen from such a distance.

If Heat dared to get closer, he would see one of them with a huge body and an airplane on it. The other five were all warships, and the cannons on them were terrifyingly large. There was also a warship that was huge and did not have a single cannon.

This is the Japanese Navy aircraft carrier fleet that rushed over from the South Seas. This fleet is as close to the coast as possible, so stop here.

The end of 1943 was a sad winter, and the situation was somewhat unsmooth for the Japanese Navy, which was smooth sailing. The Japanese Navy, together with the US Navy, lost battleships. The U.S. Navy, which lost because of its strong industry, quickly replenished it. The military port base in Hawaii was blown up, and not only was it able to be rebuilt smoothly, but it was also built in Australia. Japan will not be able to do it, it is difficult to replenish warships, and the combat strength of the navy is no longer able to match the US military.

Due to the blockade of the United States, there is very little steel, and it is difficult to build new warships. In Japan's national parks, all steel equipment is donated to build warships.

Although in the short term, the Japanese navy has a certain advantage, or the two navies are in a balanced situation, if this trend continues, the Japanese navy will surely lose. This is the insight of the high-level, and many of the middle and low-level officers are also aware of it.

In this year, the battle in southern Manchuria became an important battle of concern for the base camp. The base camp asked for the support of an air carrier fleet of the navy. After the navy transferred the fleet to the north, the campaign in southern Manchuria ended in failure, and the center of the campaign shifted to Tianjin and Beiping.

After the fleet anchored in the Bohai Sea, it encountered a number of windy days, and in these days, Tianjin was lost. Taking advantage of the few good weather, the air carrier fleet dispatched several hundred sorties to attack Beiping.

The air raids started well, and even a base was set up at an airfield on the waterfront, where a group of planes took off and landed. That's some new pilots, who don't have the ability to take off and land planes on an air carrier.

Later, the Air Force of the Eighth Route Army began to return fire. The bases on land were destroyed, they even made a sneak attack on the brigade airfield with infantry, capturing a dozen old aircraft.

Now, the fleet had to take advantage of the good weather to bombard the outskirts of Beiping and encourage the defenders of Beiping to continue to hold on.

This air carrier fleet was in difficulty, and the replenishment was quickly depleted, and although a shipload of fuel was replenished at the previous stage, aircraft bombs needed to be replenished. If it is not replenished in time, the fleet does not make sense here at all.

Aircraft carrier, called air carrier in Japanese. During World War II, Japan's air carrier was the world's advanced level. With a large number and high level, coupled with a lot of actual combat experience, the Japanese air carrier is almost invincible in the world.

The Japanese air carrier fleet had no enemies off the coast of China. Although I have seen small fishing boats peeping in the past few days, the air carrier fleet has not taken it seriously at all.

Originally, there was not much wind these days, and as a result, the plane took to the air several times for combat. Since yesterday, the wind is strong, there is no way, the fleet is to the west, there is the Bohai Sea, and the wind and waves are very small.

It is said that it is the spring wind. After the spring breeze, the temperature will rise and the customs will decrease.

In the morning, the wind was much lighter. The crew and pilots of the warship, who had been tossed all night, were ready to get up, and the commanders had already gotten up, collecting all kinds of meteorological data to see if the planes could take to the air for battle.

Weathermen from a frigate climbed up to a high meteorological observatory to transcribe meteorological data. After copying, he closed the small door of the meteorological instrument box and climbed down the ladder backwards. At this time, he looked around. Because he is a weather observer, it is his professional habit to observe the sea state and meteorological conditions, and when he looks around, and then looks at the waves, he feels that there is something wrong with the waves on the eastern sea. Is it an island, or a reef? That's not right.

At a strange moment, the strange waves suddenly stirred, and then, he saw two waterlines, rushing towards his frigate.

Not good, it's a torpedo!

Not good! That's a submarine!

How can there be submarines here?

American submarines!

He shouted: "Submarine! Torpedo! Torpedo! ”

He shouted three times, and someone heard. Shouted the sixth sound, and there were already other people on the warship who had seen the torpedo.

The people on the warship began to move.

When he shouted to the third time, the people of the aircraft carrier also spotted the torpedo. At least three people saw two torpedoes at the same time paddling the waterline and heading straight for the aircraft carrier. Both hit the middle.

The aircraft carrier has turned its course, dodging torpedoes. The propeller turned suddenly, the rudder turned sharply, and the ship had already begun to turn.

It has to be said that the operators of the aircraft carrier are extremely experienced, their boilers are constantly burning, the steam pressure has always met the requirements, and in such a short time they have made the right response. As the torpedo approached, the aircraft carrier slowly turned, and the torpedo that hit the middle was already hitting the bow and stern.

If one more minute is given to the carrier, then the torpedoes can be avoided, alas, they don't have time, because the torpedoes are already approaching. Experienced sailors already know that the aircraft carrier is finished.

The people on the aircraft carrier reacted too quickly. Their excellent qualities have allowed them to make one right move after another. Now, their action is to run away, and some of them have already dived.

The captain of the aircraft carrier was in the command room, one by one when he gave orders. He knew that if a torpedo hit an oil depot, or hit an ammunition depot, then the explosion would instantly destroy the warship. Fortunately, these warehouses are not near the waterline. He gave a series of orders to dodge torpedoes. Even if you can't dodge, let the torpedo hit the thickest armor near the bow. If the aircraft carrier does not sink, there is hope of escape.

He saw that the torpedo was only a few tens of meters away from the side of the ship, and he knew that the torpedo would definitely hit the aircraft carrier, and he even judged that the aircraft carrier would be hit and the aircraft carrier would tip based on the torpedo route and the carrier's movements. If the water is shallow, there is no need to dive. However, it is inevitable when the aircraft carrier is capsized.

The last order he issued: "There will be no great danger to the Akagi." It won't explode! Get ready to remedy! Don't dive! "Shout over and over again.

At the same time, a huge voice cried out in his heart: "Why did I make such a big mistake? Why am I not wary of the appearance of American submarines in the Bohai Sea? Why? ”

Just as he asked himself a second time, two torpedoes hit the aircraft carrier, one on the waterline in the middle bow and one on the waterline in the bow. The aircraft carrier shook violently twice.

The aircraft carrier was too large and did not tilt immediately.

The captain continued to give orders, and the Japanese soldiers on the aircraft carrier showed good professionalism, they fixed the planes, fixed the bombs on the deck, prepared fire extinguishing facilities, and the soldiers in charge of maintenance also flocked to the two holes.

Several watertight compartments were blown open, a large amount of seawater poured into the cabins, and the soldiers blocked the cabins, and several soldiers lost their lives.

Whether their efforts did not work or did not work, the Akagi began to capsize and the bow began to sink.

At the same time that the aircraft carrier was hit, the frigate began to turn, trying to dodge the torpedo.

The torpedo was already only fifty meters away.

The frigate continued to turn, trying to dodge. However, experienced sailors know that it is too late.

I heard a bang, and the warship shook violently.

Someone started diving.

At this time, explosions were also heard from the cruiser.

In just one minute, three warships were hit by five torpedoes.

The warship began to sink. The captains of the two warships immediately issued an order: "Abandon the ship!" ”

The cruiser and frigate sank soon and soon entered the water, and the Japanese soldiers on both warships dived one after another during the sinking and swam away after diving. The area where the two warships sank, and the sea was full of people. Some of them saw that the aircraft carrier had not sunk and swam towards the aircraft carrier one after another.

It's winter, the sea is cold, and if you don't move in the water, in a few minutes, you will die because of the sharp drop in body temperature.

The empty mother body is already heavily tilted.

The Akagi attacked Pearl Harbor unscathed, suffering only minor damage in the Battle of Midway, and achieved good results in several other battles. Although the last six months have not been very smooth, no U.S. warship has done anything about the Akagi.

It was this aircraft carrier, which had won many victories, that was hit in the Bohai Sea.

The location of the blow was analyzed in detail.

Mr. Lu once provided photos of the Akagi aircraft carrier and provided a structural diagram of the Akagi aircraft carrier. The power system, hangar, ammunition depot, personnel rest compartment, oil depot, and so on are indicated on the diagram. Mr. Lu once demanded that the power system should not be hit, the ammunition depot should not be hit, and the oil depot should not be hit. In the end, only the waterline near the bow of the ship could be hit, and there were very few key parts arranged here.

Submarines striking aircraft carriers are very close to aircraft carriers. The plan calls for hitting the designed part after the submarine launches, even if the carrier begins to dodge as quickly as possible.

The torpedoes to strike the aircraft carrier were also planned in detail, and the torpedo was the smallest mine made by the Northeast Coalition Army, as long as the waterline armor penetrated.

This time the blow was in the right place. After the torpedo exploded, the aircraft carrier was flooded, no explosives were detonated, no oil exploded and burned.

Later, the technicians analyzed that one torpedo fired by the submarine could reasonably hit an important part in the middle of the country, because the captain of the Japanese Akagi was highly skilled and avoided this result, and the two torpedoes were hit in the parts that were not very fatal. Including the leaders of Yan'an, they all felt that they should issue a medal to this captain.
