The cruiser Izumo was 121.92 meters long, 20.93 meters wide, 7.37 meters draft, 14,500 horsepower, 20.75 knots, and 672 people.

It was armed with 4 203-mm guns, 14 150-mm guns, 12 12-pounder rapid-fire guns, 8 2.5-pounder rapid-fire guns, and 4 450-mm torpedo tubes. Although it cannot be compared with large warships such as battleships, in China, which lacks even artillery, it is equipped with 203mm large-caliber guns and 150mm caliber guns, which are powerful cannons.

If the enemy's infantry is densely formed, a single shot can instantly wipe out half a company, or even more.

But at this moment, these huge caliber and super powerful guns are lying quietly on the hull, and it will not be long before they will sink forever in the cold and dark water.

Because it was late at night and the sea breeze was still relatively strong, Zhao Gengyuan took ten soldiers with torpedoes and quietly touched the stern direction along the right deck of the ship.

At the same time, Second Lieutenant Cao Xing, who was in charge of blocking the entrance and exit of the devil's cabin, and more than a dozen soldiers were in trouble, and a devil sailor walked out lazily with a yawn.

A soldier hurriedly stepped forward to cover the mouth of the devil sailor with one hand, and quickly pulled out the dagger he carried with him with the other hand and wiped it towards the neck of the devil sailor.

With a snort, the sharp dagger cut the Adam's apple of the devil sailor, and blood suddenly gushed out, but this devil sailor was extremely brave, the moment the Adam's apple was cut, he reached out and pulled a grenade on the waist of the soldier behind him.

The soldier found that the grenade was pulled by the devil soldier, and immediately roared violently: "Danger, get out of the way...... but before he could finish speaking, the grenade exploded with a bang, and the fire flashed, and the soldier and the devil soldier who had his Adam's apple cut off were blown to a bloody blur on the spot.

The indiscriminate shrapnel also hit three other daredevils who were not far from the fighters, but fortunately the shrapnel did not hit their vital parts and suffered only minor injuries, so they were incapacitated.

"It's not good, the devil is going to be alarmed, blow up the hatch and prepare for battle!" Cao Xing, who was not far away, immediately ordered hoarsely and loudly.

The sound of the explosion immediately alarmed the devil sailors on the cruiser Izumo, and hundreds of devil soldiers jumped from their beds in a hurry, grabbed their weapons and rushed out of the dormitory before they had time to get dressed, and rushed out of the dormitory towards the exit of the hatch.

However, before they could reach the exit, several violent explosions rang out again, and in an instant billowing smoke rose from the exit, and dazzling flames rose into the sky.

At this time, the devils on the Izumo cruiser were already in a mess, and the commander Kawatani Kiyoshi, who was awakened by the sound of the explosion, rushed into the captain's room with an anxious face, grabbed several subordinates in charge of the duty and roared angrily: "Yagayalu, what's the matter?" ”

"Returning to the general, the lowly position is not clear." Several devil officers on duty replied tremblingly.

At this moment, a large officer strode in from the outside with a panicked expression, and hurriedly reported: "Your Excellency, the enemy has occupied the deck and blocked the exit, and our sailors can't rush out at all!" ”

"Yaga! Who the hell is it? How did they appear on our ships? Kawatani Qing was in a state of confusion, and he couldn't figure out what kind of army could quietly pass through the layers of blockade of his own peripheral ships and board his flagship.

"This, the lowly position is not clear." The devil Dazuo bowed his head with a guilty face and said, "Your Excellency Commander, please instruct us what to do next?" ”

"You stupid pig." Kawatani pointed at the devil Dazuo and roared: "Immediately organize the troops and recapture the deck at all costs!" Hurry up and drop! ”

"Hay!" The devil Dazuo hurriedly bowed his head and answered, and then turned around and took the order to leave

Outside the cabin, Cao Xing and more than a dozen other soldiers were desperately blocking the entrance and exit of the ship.

Although the entrance and exit have been blown up by them with bombs, the devil sailors inside are urgently cleaning up, in order to prevent the devils from continuing to clean up, Cao Xing and the soldiers have to use submachine guns to shoot frantically at the exit.

"Da da da......" Cao Xing finished firing a magazine, dodged to the side, quickly took out a new magazine and loaded it, just wanted to turn around and continue shooting, but found that the cabin glare window not far away was suddenly smashed open, the glass suddenly shattered to the ground, and then the devil soldier wearing a white sailor uniform crawled out of the glare window.

"Not good! The devil came out of the dazzling window, Yang Hu, Ergou, fire to block the dazzling window, quickly! Cao Xing commanded sharply, and immediately grabbed the Thomson submachine gun and aimed at the ghost sailors who had just crawled out of the dazzle window and swept away.

"Da da da ......" After a burst of rapid gunfire, several devil soldiers were hit by a dense burst of charging bullets before they could stand up and lay on the ground.

At this time, another soldier pulled a grenade and threw it in the direction of the dazzling window, with a "boom" explosion, and the miserable howl of the ghost soldiers suddenly came from the dazzling window.

Although Cao Xing and the soldiers tried their best to blockade, there were too many devil soldiers, and as time went by, more and more devil soldiers broke out of other dazzling windows and outflanked Cao Xing and the soldiers.

Although the daredevils were fully equipped with American equipment, there were too many devils, and soon hundreds of devil sailors compressed Cao Xing and a dozen soldiers onto the deck at the bow of the ship.

"Platoon commander, what should we do?" A soldier looked anxious and turned his head to ask Cao Xing beside him loudly while shooting.

"Hold on, the devil sailors are attracted to us, hold on as long as you can, and buy them more time for the sub-seat." Cao Xing shouted loudly with a hideous face, and the voice was so loud that all the daredevils could hear it.

"Yes!" More than a dozen soldiers responded in unison, and immediately continued to fire desperately, and the pursuing devil sailors were suddenly knocked down by the dense charging bullets.

In the firefight just now, the devils had already discovered that it was the squadron that was fighting with them, and the angry devil commander suddenly waved his command knife again and again and ordered the troops to continue the attack: "Kill Gaga, rush up, kill all the people, and destroy ...... them all."

At the same time, Zhao Gengyuan led ten daredevils with torpedoes and had already killed the devil's ammunition depot, because the attention of the devil sailors was attracted to the bow direction of Cao Xing and others, so Zhao Gengyuan and they easily solved the few devil soldiers who stayed in the ammunition depot.

After entering the ammunition depot, Zhao Gengyuan immediately ordered the soldiers to place two improvised time bombs on the torpedoes, and after adjusting the time, they immediately withdrew from the ammunition depot.

After leaving the ammunition depot, Zhao Geng Yuanli roared and rushed towards the bow of the ship with ten soldiers, at this time their task had been completed, and the rest was to die with the devils, but before they died, the soldiers also had to pull a few more little devils on their backs.

At this time, Cao Xing's squad had already suffered more than half of the casualties, and they had been compressed to the bow of the ship by the devils, and the worst thing was that their ammunition was almost exhausted.

"Little devil, come on, grandpa invites you to eat guns!" Cao Xing and several other soldiers roared angrily, the submachine guns in their hands fired violently, and the dense rain of bullets suddenly roared towards the devil crowd.

......Suddenly, the roaring submachine guns stopped one after another, Cao Xing pulled the trigger, and found that there were no bullets in the chamber, so he turned the submachine gun and threw it into the sea, and quickly pulled out the pistol from his waist.

With an awe-inspiring expression, he said to several companions around him: "Brothers, the last moment has come, wait for me to finish shooting all the bullets in the pistol, let's jump into the sea together, even if we die, we can't be prisoners, and we must not smear the faces of the [***] people!" ”

"Don't worry, platoon commander, I killed at least twenty devils today, it's enough."

"Yes, it's already fucking enough, and it's time to go to the underworld to find those sacrificed brothers!"

"Well done!" Cao Xing was slightly moved, and immediately got up suddenly, raised his pistol and aimed at several ghost soldiers who rushed to the front, and fired continuously, and soon the pistol ammunition was exhausted.

Cao Xing threw the pistol into the sea, and waved his fists at several soldiers and said sonorously: "Brothers, I would rather be a ghost who died in battle than a slave to the country, long live the party-state!" Long live the Chinese nation! ”

"I'd rather be a ghost who died in battle than a slave who died in the country!"

"Long live the party-state! Long live the Chinese nation! ”

The four warriors roared in unison, and then Cao Xing shouted an impassioned slogan and jumped into the sea, and the four warriors followed suit and jumped down.

At this time, the devil soldiers had already chased to the bow of the ship, and the angry devil commander suddenly waved his command knife and roared: "Shoot, shoot......!" ”

At this moment, Zhao Gengyuan and ten soldiers had already rushed over from the stern of the ship, and the chorus of Cao Xing and the others before they died just now Zhao Gengyuan and the soldiers clearly heard it.

The sacrifice of their comrades-in-arms deeply stimulated them, and at this moment they were full of only wanting to fight to the death with the devils, and only wanted to kill more devils to avenge the dead robes, so that they missed the best time to retreat.

Yali was flying the aircraft over them at this time, but in order to prevent the news of the flying machine from being learned by the Yue army, Yali did not dare to fly down to save them at this moment.

I could only watch Zhao Gengyuan take ten soldiers to launch a decisive charge against the devil, and when he saw the soldiers fall and die one after another, two lines of tears had quietly slipped from Yali's beautiful beauty.

"Little devil, your ancestor!" Zhao Gengyuan held a light machine gun, roared and kept firing, and his comrades-in-arms around him were shot and killed one after another.

"Bang" A crisp gunshot sounded, a rifle bullet accurately hit Zhao Gengyuan's right leg, Zhao Gengyuan, who lost his balance, suddenly fell forward, and after lying on the ground, Zhao Gengyuan gritted his teeth and endured the sharp pain in his leg, set up the light machine gun in his arms on the spot, and began to continue shooting until all the bullets in the magazine were finished.

Zhao Gengyuan looked up at the night sky, and said in a deep voice: "Brigade, Lao Zhao is gone, I am going to find my brothers, goodbye in the next life!" With that, he pulled out his pistol and aimed it at his temple and decisively pulled the trigger.

Just when Zhao Gengyuan was martyred, the direction of the ammunition depot suddenly exploded violently, scarlet flames rose into the sky, and the huge shock wave instantly split the entire hull into two, and the devil sailors on the deck were shaken to the ground by the huge shock wave.

Yali's aircraft also clearly felt the shock wave generated by the violent explosion from the cruiser, and looked at the cruiser that had begun to catch fire below, Yali wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and drove the aircraft towards Shanghai.
