Gao Guangyou, the boatswain and Liu Zhen of the sixth class of the flight have already gone out to plug the leak, Li Kongrong may not be able to help if he goes out again, but he insists on getting out of the cabin, Su Jinghu wanted to stop but glanced at Liu Yongren and gave up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Of course, Li Kongrong didn't think about what to do if he couldn't come back, he just didn't want to wait any longer. Just as he took off his clothes and picked up his scuba and was about to leave the cabin, a familiar knocking sound came from outside the boat, and Gao Guangyou and the others were about to enter the cabin.

Three people and three torpedo tubes, all of which crawled in mixed with seawater. Gao Guangyou, who came first, was exhausted, he wiped the seawater from his face, and said with a rough breath: "It's blocked, but it's not necessarily safe." ”

"What do you mean?" Li Kongrong asked, he hated the things that were not insured.

"It's blocked, and the screw hook is hooked, but it definitely can't be compared with the original. If the deep bullet is thrown close, the breach may be broken again. Xue Kuiguang added Gao Guangyou's unfinished meaning, this is not because they can't make up for it, but because of the limitations of materials.

"But we still have three torpedoes." Li Kongrong furrowed his brows again. "Now that the army on the shore has started fighting, if we don't sink a few transport ships, they may be difficult to defend, and if they can't hold it, they won't be able to enter Qinzhou Bay at night, and those torpedoes will be transported in vain."

"Hansheng, can Qinzhou really be held?" Su Jinghu knew what Li Kongrong was worried about, he really didn't want the U-38 to take risks because of the army, and in the two years of the Anti-Japanese War, he didn't think that the army would hold anywhere.

"Not being able to hold it doesn't mean that you can't sink a few more Japanese merchant ships." Li Kongrong said. "This is the last landing operation of the Japanese army against us. There were also beachheads in other places, including Fuzhou, and it was impossible to fight the Japanese in this way. Several officers were crowded into the bow torpedo compartment, and Li Kongrong saw this and said, "Let's go back and discuss." "Let's go to the control module.

Su Jinghu immediately followed. Li Kongrong, who walked to the control cabin, asked his ears and eyes again, and Lu Ruping said: "There is a fierce battle on the beachhead, and the Japanese ships have school gun planes, and they are suppressing friendly machine gun positions together with the planes. ”

"What about the other warships?" Li Kongrong only wanted to know where the Kaohsiung-class heavy patrol was, but when he thought that it was a heavy cruiser, he was very discouraged - in the face of the heavy cruise, unless it was a critical hit, it was impossible to sink it, which was very boring.

"Other warships are outside the minefield, and they are also outside the active sonar distance detection." Lin Lianfan reported.

"Sir, is it a warship or a merchant ship?" Gao Guangyou, who came over, asked out loud.

"Hit ...... Merchant vessel. Li Kongrong exhaled helplessly, and he ordered: "Sail 190, Shuangqi move forward at a slight speed." ”

"Sailing 190, the two men are moving forward at a slight speed." The engine room, which had not received an order for a long time, echoed loudly, and the submarine attacked again, which showed that the earlier crisis was all over, but for the 524th regiment on the beachhead, the crisis had just begun.

The sea was the fierce fire of the large-caliber naval guns of the Japanese ships, the dive strafing of the Japanese planes overhead, the beachhead of the 524th Regiment could not see the sun at all, the smoke of gunpowder, dust, fire, explosions, the suffocating air, the trembling earth, everything was like the end of the world. After several hours of shelling and bombardment, four of the twelve machine-gun bunkers placed at the forefront had been bulldozed, and the remaining eight were working with all their might to suppress the Japanese on the beachhead, which was enough. The high rate of fire of the German general-purpose machine gun made its firepower much denser than that of the Min-24 Maxim water-cooled machine gun, especially since the 100,000 rounds of machine gun ammunition were unloaded from the submarine last night, and the machine gunners of the 524th Regiment had never been so extravagant, half of these bullets were piled up in the forward position, and the other half was placed in the rear - no one thought that these bullets would be used up in a day.

Under the sound of torn cloth-like machine guns, the Japanese on the beachhead were powerless, and they made a weak return fire with grenadiers while lying on the ground, and the rest of their eyes could only look at the sky: the Army's Type 97 heavy bombers were pouring bombs on these machine gun positions, while the Navy's Type 99 scrit planes were diving almost vertically, and they all wanted to pull out these beachhead firepower as soon as possible to clear a landing channel for the Army and Marine Corps soldiers who had already landed.

On the high ground outside Qisha Town, the regiment commander Chao Wei also looked at the whistling planes. He was not worried about the naval guns at sea, but about the planes in the sky, and only the planes could destroy those machine-gun positions.

"Ahh Our planes! Our planes!! Li Minchang, the deputy of the regiment, who had never experienced the baptism of three-dimensional firepower, was smacking his tongue at first, and then he was anxious, he hoped that the navy's warships hidden on the bottom of the sea could sink one or two Japanese ships to cheer up the 524th regiment, but the sea was calm, and when he suddenly saw his own plane, he was about to fall into tears.

Following Li Minchang's gaze, Chao Wei also saw his own plane printed with the blue sky and white army emblem. They were either winged or single-winged, and one after another swooped down from a higher position, instantly disrupting the Japanese planes' array, and then fighting to the death with the Japanese planes that were dropping bombs, and for a time the planes that were hitting the fire were constantly falling from the sky.

"All Combat Positions!" There is a desperate battle on land and in the air, and the sea is also full of murderous planes. Above the minefield were Japanese warships that were dropping depth charges, and although the U-38 had approached the Japanese ship group a few hours earlier, Li Kongrong just did not give the order to attack -- each Japanese destroyer carried a maximum of 32 deep bombs, and many of the destroyers had run out of deep bombs in the first two days, because he wanted the Japanese ships to run out of ammunition. Now that the explosion of deep bullets could not be heard on the other side of the thunder array, he ordered to prepare for battle.

"Turn on the torpedo tube No. 4 and prepare for launch." After the crew was in place, Li Kongrong stood in the control cabin and began to give the order to attack.

"Torpedo tube No. 4 is open and ready." The torpedo compartment returned, there was no more noise on the submarine, and Chang Xiangqi's return was unusually clear.

"The speed of the enemy ship is zero, the distance is 5,600, the torpedo launch angle is 240, the depth is 3, and the speed is 30. The fourth is ready for launch. Li Kongrong was speechless, and his voice was like a golden stone.

"The speed of the enemy ship is zero, the distance is five thousand six hundred, the torpedo launch angle is twenty-four-zero, the depth is three, and the speed is thirty. Number Four is ready. ”

"Torpedo No. 4 fired!" Li Kongrong's eyes instantly turned cold, and he gave the order to launch.

"Torpedo No. 4 fired!" Torpedo No. 4 was squeezed out of the torpedo tube by compressed air at 24 atmospheres, the kerosene in the combustion chamber of the mine burned violently, the hot vapor was discharged, and the thundertail propeller started at high speed, pushing the torpedo of more than 1,700 kilograms towards the stationary Japanese transport ship 5,600 meters away.

Li Kongrong immediately ordered the submarine to turn 18......0 degrees, but the submarine was wounded and could not deal with the Japanese ships, so he had to shoot all the torpedoes when the regiment was not guarded by the Japanese ships.

"Look!" , "Baga ......".

The friendly troops on the coast and the Japanese troops on the Torikai almost simultaneously saw that the ship was hit by a mine and exploded into a skyrocketing fire, although many Japanese soldiers had already transferred to the big hair boat and the small hair boat, but there were still many people on the transport ship, especially when Yang Lu was frustrated, and the heavy weapons were still on board. After the explosion of one fire, followed by two more flames, the large and small boats near the boat group suddenly scattered, and they did not dare to land or return to the ship group that had been struck by lightning, so they could only scatter on the sea.

"What a shame!" Takasu Shiro's famous general posture can no longer be maintained. The humiliation given to him today by the submarine in Shina was too much, but the annoyance was that he could not retaliate at all except throw some depth charges that could only blow up fish, and in just a few hours, the ninety-six deep bombs of the three destroyers were almost thrown away in the oil-stained area, which means that except for the dozen or so deep bombs left on the Tokai, he did not even have the weapons to scare the submarine in China.

"Alright, everyone, today's combat mission is complete." Listening to three muffled sounds coming from the sea one after another, Li Kongrong nodded with satisfaction and then spoke to all the staff. "The next thing we have to do is to return to Qinzhou Bay and receive new torpedoes from Nanning."

"Yes, sir." The most dangerous time had passed, the torpedoes had been depleted, and the officers and men of the boat were in high spirits.

"It's up to Fu Min to be in charge here." Li Kongrong looked at Gao Guangyou and the others, "I want to take a break, don't call me if it's okay." ”

"Yes, sir." Gao Guangyou had a smile on his face, he had just slept and was now in good spirits.

"Hmm." Li Kongrong patted him, extremely satisfied with the leakage he had just gotten out of the cabin.

The captain's room was as clean as ever, unlike yesterday, the captured Japanese Navy Rising Sun Flag hung on the wall compartment of the captain's room, which was originally a portrait of the great Führer Hitler, but while still in the Baltic Sea, Hitler was thrown into the glove compartment. Two meters long and one two or three meters wide, the three warship flags just cover the bulkhead, this is a linen military flag, red and white, the center left position is the sun, surrounded by sixteen red edges, symbolizing infinite light

Li Kongrong grabbed the corner of the flag and rubbed it a little and threw it back, he had no interest in this small flag, this is only one of the many combat exploits of the U-38, not the largest, but representative. If the flag appeared in Chongqing, or Hong Kong, or Manila, or New York, and told people how the flag was captured, it would be naked to the Japanese Navy. A naked slap in the face, it's just that Yamamoto Fifty-six just took office as the commander of the Combined Fleet a few months ago, and if this military flag makes him lose his position, what will be the impact on history......

Japan's southward occupation of LinkedIn's US-Dutch colonies was inevitable, but a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor was not necessarily inevitable. At first, the First Department of the Japanese Navy's Command Department was opposed to this, because the Command Department did not have an operational plan for Pearl Harbor at all, and at the end of September after the sneak attack plan was formulated, the commanders and chief of staff of the 1st Air Fleet and the 11th Air Fleet still suggested that the Pearl Harbor operational plan be cancelled.

Of course, not attacking Pearl Harbor does not mean not fighting against the United States. The Philippines is a necessary place to go south, and the Japanese Navy must occupy it. Without the occupation of the Philippines, the situation would return to the state of 1944, when American troops re-landed in the Philippines, and American forces were able to cut off Japan's resource routes by planes alone.

If Yamamoto resigns early, the Japanese Navy's attack on the United States will be far less powerful and shocking than in history, and with the Americans' grand strategy of putting Europe first and then Asia, the Pacific Theater and the China Theater will be even more neglected, and this is what Li Kongrong does not want to see. Neither for China nor for the fleet he has painstakingly built.

It seems that the captured Japanese naval flag cannot be taken out to show off, but can only be recorded in the logbook. He was naturally extremely disappointed by this, and on the highway from Nanning to Qinzhou, another person was also extremely disappointed.

Looking at the four smoking big international on the road, Hou Teng only felt distressed, he didn't care much about the torpedoes on the car, he felt sorry for his truck - the big international with a load of 4.5 tons, and the entire 88th Army was less than 20 vehicles, this kind of large-tonnage truck towing tanks is the best, this time the torpedo was transferred out of eight, and he didn't want to destroy four here.

"The torpedo didn't blow up." Xu Zushan, who was also urgently sheltered in the woods, breathed a sigh of relief, a truck was only three or four thousand dollars, but a torpedo was worth tens of thousands.

"Director Xu, there are only four cars left." Hou Teng said with a bitter face. "Two in a car, only eight, if we can come back, these torpedoes will be placed, and we will bring them back on the return trip."

"Report sir, as long as it is fixed, one car can hold three." Just now, the Japanese plane attacked, Du Baiqing, who was the first, saw the opportunity first, and she rushed into the woods as soon as she turned around.

"Three?" Xu Zushan and Hou Teng were both surprised.

"I think so." Du Baiqing said, "The torpedo is heavy and does not occupy a position, this road has just been repaired, just drive it slower." ”

A torpedo weighs more than 1,500 kilograms, and when it is loaded, for insurance, only two pieces are loaded into each car, and the large international load is 4.5 tons, and it can be loaded with three, but the car cannot drive fast after heavy load, and if the car does not drive fast, it will be difficult to avoid Japanese planes, and the brake steering is not good......

With a torpedo on one side and a truck on the other, Hou Teng hesitated for a few moments before saying, "Okay, then load three and load the truck immediately." ”

In order to load and unload the torpedoes, the convoy already brought dozens of loading and unloading soldiers, and when the order was given, the torpedoes that were snatched from the wrecked trucks were moved to the remaining four trucks. After all, the torpedo is heavy, more than seven meters long, thicker than a waist, and even if there is a rope on it, it will take more than twenty people to carry one into the car. It took an hour for two of the four torpedoes to be lifted, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, looking at the sun in the west, and then looking at the location on the map, Hou Teng began to worry that he could not get to the place before ten o'clock.

"Bai Qing, you come." Hou Teng first called Xie Daisheng, a local guide who led the way, and then beckoned to Du Baiqing, who was standing next to the truck watching the soldiers load.

"Sir," Du Baiqing saluted as soon as he came over.

"You're welcome, we are still seventy-five kilometers away from Jinjitang, but the time is only seven hours, this is not the time to hurry, to rush at least until dark, can you arrive?" Hou Teng asked. His eyes swept over Du Baiqing, this former girl scout's skin had become as dark as an ordinary soldier, and if she didn't look closely at her eyebrows and figure, anyone would treat her as a man.

"Report to the sir, you can get there." Du Baiqing looked at the map and asked the guide a few more words.

"Seventy-five kilometers in three hours at night?" Hou Teng was a little surprised, you can't turn on the lights when driving at night.

"Sir, it's a sunny day, and there will be a moon at night." Du Baiqing smiled, revealing two small tiger teeth. (To be continued.) )
