It was right to kill the Japanese, but to kill the Japanese at all costs, only to make the more rational Su Jinghu and the others have deep thoughts and solemn expressions, but Li Kongrong is the captain of the boat, not to mention, the crew is accustomed to his boldness, and they are helpless about it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Little by little, the U-38 approached the enemy ship that was standing still, and at a distance of 500 meters, the No. 2 torpedo came out of its chamber to give the Japanese ship, which had been damaged by two mines, on its last journey. Because the torpedo was fired from the northeast of the Sea Breeze, neither the destroyer regiment in the south nor the shelling fleet in the west saw a thunder trail, only the sailors on the ship saw a white thunder trail coming straight and hitting the starboard side with a huge splash. This was indeed a fatal blow to the Sea Breeze, when the torpedo missed the starboard side, Kenjiro Tokita on the bridge gave the order to abandon the ship in the microphone, but his voice was quickly covered by the explosion of the torpedo, and he himself was thrown into the bulkhead by the blast wave, and his head was covered with blood.

For the Sea Breeze trapped in the minefield after the middle mine, Takasu Shiro did not dare to send a Japanese ship to the rescue, only hoping that the Sea Breeze could rely on his own strength to get out of the trap, the first minute the Sea Breeze also reported that the loophole had been plugged, and the next minute the Sea Breeze was hit by a torpedo, and the whole ship tilted to the right, sinking soon. While grieving, all Takasu Shiro could do was to send more boats to rescue the officers and soldiers who had fallen into the water, and once again ordered the ships to maneuver and stay away from the Sea Breeze.

But at this moment, something happened that he would never forget and be ashamed of his life - on the right side of the Sea Breeze, the rough sea surface fluctuated, and a behemoth suddenly rushed out of the bottom of the sea. In the sun, the splash of water sparkled and crystalline, and when the splash dissipated, the submarine that had tormented the fleet for half a month finally revealed its true face: gray and black appearance, simple silhouette, sharp bow, towering command tower, and... There are also the Chinese commanders in white military caps who look at the sea casually, and the Chinese sailors who jump off the command tower.

Takasu Shiro didn't react until Yamaguchi shouted that he shouldn't have to slap him hard, and he reacted and spit out his shock: "Your Excellency! The people of China... The people of China have come up ......"

"Your Excellency, please fire immediately!" The Shina submarine floated, and the entire ship of Chokai shook. Some say that the enemy wants to surrender, some say that they will fire immediately, some say that they must be captured, and some know that they will scream at the sky without saying anything. Yamaguchi didn't think that the commander of the branch had risen to surrender, and he thought that opening fire immediately was the most correct choice, as he was still surrounded by mines several nautical miles. In addition, the three destroyers of Shanfeng, Jiangfeng, and Liangfeng, which also belonged to the 24th Destroyer Group, had left the group and approached the submarine at high speed, and they did not open fire, probably trying to force the people to surrender.

"They ......" Once Takasu Shiro came back to his senses, there were all voices around him, and what he hoped for most was that the people of Shina would raise the white flag and surrender to him, which would be his supreme glory. Yamaguchi still had a lot of hesitation when he suggested firing the gun. However, after picking up the binoculars again and seeing the Chinese sailors trying to salvage their own sailors and submarines firing at the half-sunken Sea Breeze, he hesitated before ordering: "Open fire immediately and sink the Chinese people!" ”

"Shoot the cannon immediately and sink the Zhina!" The order was quickly passed to the bow turret, and the ten 203mm guns of the Torikai began to turn.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" On the bridge of the U-38 submarine, Li Kongrong looked at the Haifeng that was sinking and was slightly stunned, this was the first time he saw the warship sinking, but Xue Kuiguang behind him was using a 20mm cannon to strafe the Haifeng while urging the crew who were climbing down the hull to act quickly, he had already seen the Japanese ships several nautical miles away were approaching at high speed, and the situation was at a critical moment!

"No, no! Banner! That flag!! Li Kongrong, who was stunned, suddenly shouted loudly, pointing his finger to the flag of the Rising Japanese Army that had overturned the mast of the Sea Breeze. Compared to the Japanese prisoners, this is the most valuable capture. At this time, the flag of the rising sun was hanging low on the mast, and because it was capsized, it was only about four meters above the sea, and fifteen or sixteen meters from the U-38.

"Full speed ahead! Full speed ahead! The red Japanese flag had captured Li Kongrong's soul, and although he knew that there were mines here, he still ordered the submarine to move forward at full speed.

"Full speed ahead! This... What to do? Gao Guangyou in the control cabin was sweating profusely, he knew that the U-38 could be damaged by a mine at any time, and in such a situation, Li Kongrong also ordered the submarine to move forward at full speed, which was crazy!

"Hmm-" Su Jinghu could only look at the water listening room, whether there were mines in front of him or not, it all depended on the active sonar of the water listening room.

"You can go forward." Lin Lianfan nodded at Su Jinghu, he was also sweating profusely.

"Full speed ahead!" Su Jinghu had to give an order, and after giving the order, he recited a sentence of Mazu's blessing.

'Boom! Rumble! ......At the same time as the U-38 was moving forward at full speed, the four ships of the Bird Sea, which were a few nautical miles away to the south, and the approaching Shanfeng, Jiangfeng, and Liangfeng finally opened fire, but because of the concern of their own sailors on the sea, several test-fired shells were all biased to the northeast without exception, and the shells only exploded a series of splashes of different sizes after falling into the water.

"The Japanese cub has fired! The Japanese cub fired! Although the shell was far away, it made Xue Kuiguang creepy, he pulled the trigger to shoot in the air, and at the same time turned his head and shouted at Li Kongrong, hoping that Li Kongrong would let the crew return to the cabin and dive immediately, but Li Kongrong still pointed to the Japanese flag that was getting closer and closer and shouted, "Chen Zaihe, capture the flag!" Capture the Flag!! ”

The '......Boom' was another shelling, this time no longer a test launch, but a salvo of three destroyers and the Torikai. Dozens of shells rained down on the sea, and the water column on the northeast side of U-38 splashed in all directions; Fortunately, Li Kongrong was right, neither plane had any bombs, they could only fly low and strafe, and the bullets hit the submarine deck with a 'dangdang' sound.

Because the 20 cannons controlled by Xue Kuiguang kept firing, the plane's strafing did not hurt the six people on the deck, but a 203mm shell exploded on the near side of the submarine, and the splash washed the submarine bridge along with the sea breeze, and Li Kongrong, Xue Kuiguang, and his loader were doused with seawater. But at this moment, Chen Zaihe, who ran to the front of the deck, grabbed the Rising Sun Navy flag on the mast of the Sea Breeze, drew his sailor and cut the rope, grabbed the military flag, and ran back with his life.

After knowing that the captain only needed the Japanese naval flag, the other two sailors who rushed to the deck abandoned the idea of capturing the Japanese sailors, and they met Chen Zaihe under the command tower, and then the three of them went around the back of the command tower and jumped on the Winter Garden platform to climb the bridge. Seeing this, Li Kongrong shouted to the microphone amid the sound of artillery: "Azimuth 180, No. 3 torpedo fire!" Torpedo No. 3 launched. ”

In the telescope, several Japanese commanders saw that the naval flag on the mast of the Haifeng was taken away, and even saw that the military flag was taken back to the cabin by the Chinese sailors, and they no longer cared about the Haifeng, which coincided with the height of the submarine, and after correcting the shelling parameters again, the four ships fired another salvo, but at this time, Li Kongrong also ordered the prepared No. 3 torpedo to be launched immediately, and a thunder trail suddenly flashed on the sea, and the torpedo went straight to the approaching Japanese destroyer at a speed of 45 knots to force them to turn.

It is absolutely impossible for a torpedo to hit the target, the minimum range is not enough, and in the rough seas, it is extremely difficult for the shells to hit the submarine with a low bridge and a width of only six meters, and the third salvo, the fourth salvo, the fifth salvo, and the sixth salvo ......, except for two shells that hit the half-sunken Sea Breeze and exploded the flames, the other shells hit the U-38 on the left and right strings, and it seemed that nothing could be found except for the splash.

"Quick! Fast! Seeing Chen Zaihe holding the military flag into the cabin, Li Kongrong was overjoyed and ordered Xue Kuiguang and others to enter the cabin, and when they were all in the cabin, he quickly got into the cabin and closed the watertight door.

'Boom, boom, ......boom' Even if you are in a submarine, you can hear the shells exploding on the sea, and in addition to the sound of cannons, there is also the sound of airplane bullets hitting the hull. At this moment, the boat was already ready to dive, and the watertight door was closed, the main drainage was opened, and the bow of the submarine entered the water quickly. When Li Kongrong happily walked down the control cabin, he was greeted by the complaining eyes of Gao Guangyou, Su Jinghu and others.

"What? Hit? Li Kongrong smiled, but when he saw a few people like this, he restrained his smile again.

"......" Su Jinghu wanted to speak and stopped, and he finally looked at Gao Guangyou. Gao Guangyou said: "The auxiliary fuel tank was hit by shell fragments......"

"Auxiliary fuel tanks?" Li Kongrong was stunned for a moment, and at this time, there was another burst of cannon sound outside the boat, and he heard the sound of shrapnel hitting the hull of the boat.

"Yes. Fortunately, it's not a big problem, but we've been leaking oil. Gao Guangyou said. As soon as there is a trace of oil on the sea, we ......"

"I know, I know." Li Kongrong had no joy at all at this time. Although no one was injured in this trip, the hit of the auxiliary fuel tank caused great trouble for the submarine to hide, and the Japanese probably found themselves chasing the oil stain. "Don't worry, we're hiding in a minefield, we'll be safe if the oil leaks."

Little by little, the submarine disappeared from the sea, and the nearest Shanfeng was the most angry from the sea, and in the more than two minutes that the submarine had been afloat, it and its friendly ships fired nearly 400 shells, but none of them hit the submarine. Not to mention the fact that the naval flag was taken away by the people of China, not to mention the capture of the naval flag, and what is even more odious is that this move was actually witnessed by the army, which is simply a shame for the Imperial Japanese Navy. Under the orders of the captain Toshima Shunichi, the Yamakaze rushed straight to the sea where the submarine was diving, regardless of torpedoes and mines.

The notary said that it is not a shame that more than 400 shells could not hit a submarine. Of the more than 400 shells, at least half of the shells were lost because of concerns about the half-sinking Sea Breeze and the Japanese sailors on the sea, and when the people took away the military flag, the four ships that no longer cared about the friendly forces fired three-fifths of the shells were 127mm shells—the Bailu destroyers had only 127mm main guns, five guns each, and the firing rate was ten rounds per minute; Although the Torikai had ten 203mm guns, the rate of fire was only four rounds per minute, and considering aiming, it fired more than 80 rounds of 203mm shells at most in more than two minutes.

The sea was rough, the 127mm gun did not have the aim at all, and the 203mm gun, although it was more accurate, the firing time was too short. Two years later, in early 1942, when the U.S. Pacific Fleet attacked Tokyo with B-25 bombers close to the Japanese mainland, the U.S. Navy cruiser Nashville used a total of 915 six-inch shells for 30 minutes to sink the Japanese fishing boat that had discovered the fleet and sent a report to Japan.

The fishing boats were small, and the submarine bridge was not only low, but the hull was even more obscured by the half-sunken Sea Breeze, and in addition to the bad sea conditions, it was completely reasonable that the submarine could not be sunk for more than two minutes. Not only did the Yamakaze rush to the place where the U-38 was diving and dropped depth charges, but the flagship Torikai also left the ship group and approached the sea area where the submarine was diving. In the rumbling sound of deep bullets, the turbid waves on the sea suddenly rolled and murderous splashed everywhere.

The explosion of the depth bomb seemed to be close at hand, and the hull shook violently with each explosion, but no one cared about the Japanese depth charges. In the bow torpedo compartment of the U-38, Ensign Chen Zaihe, who rushed to the front compartment as soon as he got out of the cabin, was surrounded by the crew, and the Japanese naval flag he brought into the cabin was first held high by boatswain Xue Kuiguang, and then passed to each crew member.

"Satane! The Japanese cub has lost face this time, and the military flag has been taken away by us! Xue Kuiguang was full of gunsmoke, and he was actually scared enough in the face of the dive of the Japanese seaplane just now, but now holding the Japanese naval flag, he completely forgot the fear at that time.

"We're going to sink [their] ships." Lin Wenjie, a student of the seventh phase of the aviation school, was also one of the personnel who volunteered to go to the deck just now, but unfortunately he reacted a step slower, and Chen Zaihe ran to the bow deck before he realized that the commander wanted the Japanese naval flag.

"No, sink the aircraft carrier!" The sixth-term student Wang Guogui had no chance to go on the deck, and when he saw that his younger brother for one or two years was so flamboyant and proud, he suddenly felt uncomfortable, but he and Li Kongrong stayed in Germany together, and the qualifications were still there. "The commander said that the future of the Navy is aircraft carriers, and we are going to sink the aircraft carriers of the Japanese cubs."

"Yes, the aircraft carrier that sank the Japanese Cub." The young people immediately echoed, they were so excited, and in the end, the military song couldn't help singing, and the boat was full of jubilation.

The submarine has sunk to the bottom of the sea thirty meters and is constantly retreating, and has entered the minefield according to the mark. Seeing a group of juniors so excited, Chang Xiangqi whispered to Xue Kuiguang: "The Japanese will never give up this time." ”

"They can't blow us up." Xue Kuiguang didn't know that the auxiliary fuel tank was leaking, and he was full of confidence in evading the Japanese ship.

"I hope ......," Chang Xiangqi hadn't spoken yet. With a bang, the submarine slammed into the bulkhead, and his head suddenly hit the bulkhead, and there was a lot of Venus in front of him.

"Hit?!" Gao Guangyou reacted the most in the control cabin, and he also smashed into the bulkhead because of the impact, but he was already on guard and grabbed the handle.

"Didn't hit." Li Kongrong had been leaning on the periscope, and just now he heard the rattling sound of the hull of the boat being squeezed by the shock wave. Still calming down, he shouted into the microphone and ordered: "Report the damage immediately in all cabins." ”

"The bow torpedo compartment is normal", "the stern torpedo compartment is normal", "the power compartment is normal", and ...... one voice after another, when all the cabins returned normal, several people breathed a sigh of relief. (To be continued.) )
