Chapter 286: The End of the "Asama".
At this time, the "Asama" also sensed the intention of the "Denamaru", concentrated its artillery fire on the "Denamaru", and saw that the "Denamaru" was in danger, and the "Asama" had already entered the range of the artillery, Togo Heihachiro decisively ordered the "Mt. Fuji" 120 mm main gun to open fire.
As if with the help of God, the 120-mm main gun of the "Mt. Fuji" opened fire, and the third shell landed accurately on the deck of the "Asama", and the flames that had been extinguished by the "Asama" suddenly rose again, and the fire fired at the "Electric Maru" also immediately weakened.
Heihachiro Togo held the binoculars tightly, and his hands unconsciously trembled slightly.
In the telescope, the "Denamaru" hit the "Asama" straight ahead, and Heihachiro Togo saw a dazzling orange-yellow fire burst out from the middle of the hull of the "Asama".
Because of the darkness of the sky and the fact that he was too focused with the telescope, when the firelight burst out, Heihachiro Togo felt like he had been stabbed in the eye, and he turned his head sharply, and the telescope fell off his hand.
Countless flaming pieces of wood were scattered by the waves of air generated by the violent explosion, and the flames and smoke instantly enveloped the Asama.
"It's spectacular!"
"It's the first time I've seen such a spectacular sight in my life!"
"It's as beautiful as fireworks!"
Hearing the admiration of his subordinates, Heihachiro Togo raised the telescope again and searched for the "Denamaru".
As for the situation of the "Asama", Togo Heihachiro no longer cares, and what he is most worried about now is that the "Denimaru" and the "Asama" will suffer the same fate.
The sea breeze suddenly blew up, and the smoke cleared a lot, and it was only then that Heihachiro Togo saw the "Electric Horse" that was reversing and retreating.
The "Electric Pill" in front of him, the bow pole has completely disappeared, the bow has also shown traces of cracking, and there are still faint fires in many places on the deck, obviously in the explosion just now.
"That guy from Takagi...... would have come up with such an attack......" Seeing the "Electricity Pill" in disarray on the scarred deck, Heihachiro Togo muttered in a low voice.
The Satsuma sailors of the "Denamaru" who were hiding in the cabin rushed to the deck again, probably because of the huge explosion and vibration just now, many of them walked a little crookedly, and Togo Heihachiro saw that the flying bridge of the "Denamaru" was also damaged in the tremor, and Kazuo Takagi, who was originally standing on it, and several officers disappeared, thinking of the huge explosion that had just occurred, he couldn't help but be shocked.
The "Mt. Fuji" was still approaching rapidly, and Heihachiro Togo raised his binoculars again and searched for Kazuo Takagi on the deck of the "Electric Maru", and soon he saw Kazuo Takagi staggering to his feet in a broken lifeboat.
Probably noticing that someone was looking at him on the approaching "Mt. Fuji", Kazuo Takagi laughed and waved his hand in the direction where Heihachiro Togo was.
Several officers who had fallen off the bridge like him also stood up, and two of them fell immediately after getting up, seemingly breaking their leg bones, and several sailors rushed to the rescue, and the deck of the "Denmaru" was in chaos for a while.
A loud bang brought Togo Heihachiro back to his senses, and he turned his head to follow the sound, and was shocked to see that the burning "Asama" actually broke off from the place where the pole mine exploded just now!
"This thunder operation, there is still a certain effect, but it is ......"
On the flybridge of the "Joban" that had just arrived, Lin Yiqing stood there, looking at the "Asama" that had broken into two and stood on the sea, and sighed in a low voice.
"What is the teacher talking about?" Takagi Junyi, a cadet of the Navy and the captain of the Odd Soldier Team, heard Lin Yiqing's sigh and asked curiously.
"This method of warfare is too dangerous...... Only your brother dares to use it at this time......" Lin Yiqing turned his head to look at Junichi Takagi and said with a wry smile.
"I just saw my brother, he shouldn't be hurt." Junichi Takagi said happily, "Actually, this method of warfare is still very effective!" Especially against large warships! Of course, my brother did this risky way of doing this today because the cannon was out of order and could not be used, and he was worried that the enemy ships would have escaped, and if we had arrived earlier with the 'Mt. Fuji', perhaps he would not have done so. β
"You brothers, you are all too bold to ......" Lin Yiqing was relieved to see Takagi Junichi's brother Takagi Kazuo, who was running and directing on the deck, to make sure that he was not injured.
"Be bold and careful, it was the teacher who taught us!" Jun Takagi smiled and said, "Aren't we learning well?" β
"You've learned well." Lin Yiqing looked at Junichi Takagi and several members of the Odd Soldiers who had gathered around them after hearing their conversation, and nodded with satisfaction.
Somehow, at this moment, looking at these students he taught with his own hands, there was a trace of reluctance in his heart.
So far, none of the elite naval cadets he has taught have been killed or injured.
But by the time the war he directed is over, how many of them will survive?
Lin Yiqing's thoughts were interrupted by a loud noise on the sea again, and he turned his head to see huge bubbles emerging from under the two broken hulls of the "Asama", as if there had been an explosion underwater, and then in the surging waves, the two broken hulls quickly sank into the sea.
Seeing that several of the Japanese government sailors who were struggling and floating on the sea were swept away by the huge whirlpool created by the sunken ship, Lin Yiqing sighed and ordered to rescue the enemy officers and soldiers who had fallen into the water.
"Why don't you immediately go after the enemy ships or search for the troop carriers that attack the enemy?" As soon as Takagi Jun saw Lin Yiqing's order to rescue the enemy who had fallen into the water, he was worried that he would miss the opportunity to pursue, so he reminded him with words on the side.
"The enemy's troop carriers are very slow, and they can't run far at this moment, and they can catch up." Lin Yiqing said.
Lin Yiqing inquired about the prisoners and learned that there were 6 troop carriers, carrying more than 10,000 people from the army, as well as corresponding weapons, ammunition and baggage supplies.
When Lin Yiqing learned that these troop carriers all belonged to American merchant ships hired by Mitsubishi, he couldn't help but sneer.
As for the role that Mitsubishi will play in this war, Lin Yiqing knows all too well.
According to the information he obtained, the logistics and supply work of the government army was completely handled by Mitsubishi Corporation, which has a very close relationship with the government!
