PS: There were a lot of things a year ago, and the update was not timely enough, I'm sorry. From today, the updates will be continuous.

At 10:20, Baxia No. 11 was shot for the first time, with three casualties.

At 10:55, Baxia No. 11 was shot again, and the tail main gun was damaged. Lost the ability to fight back.

Nishimura Sanryu was overjoyed, knowing that his destroyer Qinshio had a speed of thirty-five knots, which was obviously faster than his opponent. Excluding the harassment of the tail gun, it won't take much time to catch up with the opponent. Victory was already in sight, and Nishimura Sanryu was very satisfied with the "want to west" and ordered the two ships to outflank the opponent from both flanks.

To the south (back) of Nishimura Sanglong, Zheng Xuechang led the main fleet but was quite anxious. He deployed very tightly, and in order to restrain the speed advantage of the Japanese destroyers, he set up this pocket array. If it weren't for the fast speed of the devil's destroyer, how could Zheng Xuechang lead the main fleet to kill chickens.

Although the devil learned that the British must fight when they see the enemy, it is unlikely that the two destroyers will fight to the death when they see the battleship. The devil doesn't seem to have a rigid braincase to that point.

Now, the devil has also entered his pocket, and Zheng Xuechang has won the game. But the bait, Bashita 11, is in crisis.

A few days ago, Zheng Xuechang had been expecting continuous bad weather, so he could use a battleship to sneak attack. Today, however, he hoped for good weather so that a water reconnaissance plane could be dispatched. But the weather has not been on his side all along, and the rain and strong winds have prevented the water reconnaissance planes from taking off, although they are in full array.

Victory is no suspense for Zheng Xuechang. The battleship Atlantic, together with three Tengu-class destroyers and two pickup destroyers, has blocked the southern exit from Mannar Bay. And it's going to be compressed. Two Japanese destroyers were already encircled.

But the problem is that the No. 11 of the Maritime Resistance Army is now a bait but can't get out.

Zheng Xuechang wants a complete victory. Although it was advantageous to exchange one destroyer for two Japanese destroyers, Zheng Xuechang still felt that it was not cost-effective.

At eleven o'clock, Zheng Xuechang ordered the shelling of Colombo.

There are only a few warships of the Naval Resistance Army, and they have all penetrated deep into the Bay of Mannar, a distance of 150 kilometers, how to shell Colombo?

The answer was soon revealed.

Near the coastline of Colombo, a swarthy submarine surfaced at 11:05 a.m. This is a small submarine of the second submarine team of the Maritime Resistance Army.

Li Guang has always been too deeply influenced by the 21 st century to advocate equipping submarines with deck guns. He thinks mainly in terms of noise. It is true that the submarine is equipped with deck guns, which is not very useful. However, this proposition was opposed by several officers of the submarine force, and their reason was that in case of an emergency, the deck guns still had some effect.

Today. Zheng Xuechang encountered just in case, and the deck guns on the submarine finally came in handy.

The Lixuan-class submarines use three-inch anti-aircraft guns made by the Maritime Resistance Force. Although the power is difficult to compare with large-caliber naval guns. But the advantage is obvious - a high rate of fire.

As a submarine deck gunner, there are not many opportunities to play in long-term combat. But today, on the submarine Fox 7, the gunners have a good time. Within twenty minutes, a deck gun poured two hundred shells on the Japanese on the shore, squandering the entire stockpile without hesitation. The rapid firing caused the barrel to heat up badly, and it was already dark red. Shots of this frequency. If it weren't for the half-charge shooting, I'm afraid the barrel would be scrapped.

Although there was only one cannon, the power of 200 shells could not be underestimated, and the Japanese position was full of ghosts and wolves. Little devil this depressed. Today is already the second time that it has been shelled.

The Japanese army and navy have always been at odds, and the officers and men were not scolding the naval resistance army at this time, but the Japanese navy. The navy that served as a guard was so irresponsible, it was simply full of loopholes, and it was the army that was unlucky. In addition, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses in the attack on Colombo, and there was nowhere to vent its anger.

Therefore, the shelling of the Fox 7 has not yet ended. Nishimura Sanglong received a stern reprimand from Lieutenant General Nishimura Takuma. Don't look at the surname Nishimura, the two of them can't beat each other. Nishimura Sanglong knew that if he was really angry, he, the Navy Lieutenant, would not be able to afford the anger of the Vice Admiral.

On the one hand, there is responsibility, and on the other hand, there is military exploits. Nishimura Sanguryu is very entangled.

As a last resort, at eleven twenty, Nishimura Sanglong divided his troops.

There were only two destroyers, and they were even divided. At the beginning, as the younger brother of Yuan Chaozu, Yuan Chaozu probably did not teach Nishimura Sanglong a Chinese adage: fish and bear's paw, you can't have both.

It's scary to have no culture, and Nishimura Sanryu will soon understand this adage.

With one less Japanese destroyer, Yuan Chaozu's pressure was slightly reduced and he continued to soar north. If you don't run, you can't do it, originally there were three single-mounted guns on the 11th, but now there are only two, and the most critical tail gun has lost its effect. Such self-defense capabilities are simply no match for the six main guns of the Japanese Yangyan-class destroyers.

Zheng Xuechang has already issued an order, and now Yuan Chaozu's first task is to keep the 11th of Baxia, and Yuan Chaozu is already the first to fight this battle.

From eleven twenty to twelve thirty o'clock, Yuan Chaozu, the boss, was forced to almost no way to the sky by Nishimura Sanglong, the younger brother of the year. In this period of more than an hour, Baxia No. 11 can be described as full of dangers, two bullets in succession, and even Yuan Chaozu's arm was cut off by a piece of shrapnel.

At the time of the crisis, Yuan Chaozu tried his best, and the only four torpedoes were all fired at once.

Both destroyers and the enemy have a speed of more than 30 knots, a distance of five or six kilometers, and the torpedoes are not missiles, and under such conditions, the hit rate is almost infinitely close to zero. If you can hit it, you will win the jackpot.

Obviously, Yuan Chaozu did not have the luck of winning the jackpot. But Yuan Chaozu won a small lottery.

A few minutes later, a torpedo exploded in the distance, stirring up a column of water that soared into the sky.

If you don't hit the target, how can it explode?

You know, it's close to the Pauk Strait. The Pauk Strait is sixty or seventy kilometers wide, and for a long time, due to the existence of the sand beams of the "Rama Bridge" in the Pauk Strait, it has brought great inconvenience to the sea traffic on the east and west coasts of southern India. The shallow seabed in this area, which is only a few metres deep, can only be navigated by small boats, while large ships heading northeast from Manna Bay in western India can only make a detour to southern Sri Lanka.

(The so-called "Rama Bridge", because it resembles the remains of an ancient bridge, was later called Adam's Bridge, which is suspected to be a "holy miracle", and it is worth a visit.) I won't describe it much in the novel. Interested friends can Baidu. ）

The torpedo fired by Yuan Chaozu hit a reef.

This sudden explosion startled Nishimura Sanglong to immediately raise his vigilance.

As an experienced captain, how could he not know that this explosion meant a reef. In the sea, there are reefs, often everywhere.

Yuan Chaozu knew very well that most of the sea water here was two or three meters deep, and the deepest was only nine meters. He has crossed the strait from here, many times, quite experienced. He also knew which channel to pass through. What's more, he knew that at this time, there was only one channel, Baxia 11, that could pass.

But. The level of technology during World War II, there was no GPS, and no one could accurately locate in this rainy day. To find a shipping lane, you also need to observe the landscape with the naked eye. Yuan Chaozu took over the steering wheel. The destroyer made a sharp turn and quickly headed east.

Nishimura Sanryu didn't know the branch of the reef. But the destroyers of the Maritime Resistance Army can sail. He shouldn't have much of a problem in the back.

The next ten minutes were simply life and death for Yuan Chaozu. The shells continued to explode around Baxia 11, and the water column continued to rise, blowing up not only the seawater, but also the sediment and coral reefs.

Although Yuan Chaozu passed here several times, it was impossible to fully grasp the situation of the seabed here. For fear that the destroyer would hit the rocks.

At 12:25, Baxia No. 11 was shot again. It was also at this time that Yuan Chaozu discovered a familiar reef. Baxia No. 11 almost turned at a ninety-degree angle and galloped north.

That's right. That's the only channel in the plan.

As early as last night, a supply ship of the Maritime Resistance Army had blocked the "Rama Bridge," and the only three or four deep-water channels were all densely covered with mines.

And this gap, with a water depth of three or four meters, is barely enough for a destroyer to pass through.

Baxia No. 11 passed through the strait, Yuan Chaozu could even feel the sound of the ship's hull sliding on the reef, he nervously forgot the pain, but was covered with cold sweat.

As long as you get out of here, the 11th will be considered a complete victory.

Although Yuan Chaozu didn't see it, he knew that there must be a submarine ambush of the Maritime Resistance Army not far ahead of the channel.

That's right, the submarine of the Maritime Resistance Army ambushed here has long been in full position, and not one, but three. Ren Tianyang, the captain of the second submarine team, was among them.

Ren Tianyang was engrossed, and after the passage of Baxia 11, he was ready for torpedo launch.

However, after waiting for half an hour, the Japanese destroyer still did not come.

The sonar soldier once reported that a few minutes ago, there appeared to be a scraping sound.

At one o'clock, Yuan Chaozu and Nishimura Sanglong, the two brothers, met again after more than ten years. Nishimura Sanryu's destroyer, the Kinshio Tide, ran aground on the reef and was lying on his side in a strange posture to greet his senior brother's review.

However, the destroyer's injuries were not serious, and a few days later the Qinchao was salvaged by the Naval Resistance Force and towed to Madagascar for repairs. Yuan Chaozu captured more than 170 Japanese naval officers and men under Nishimura Sanglong Shaozo. These little devils are still good fortune-tellers, and the other more than eighty devils have been suffocated to death in the cabin at this time.

Nishimura Sanglong also lamented his luck, he didn't know that the weather had helped him a lot, and if it was a sunny day, his destroyer would have been sunk by the fighters of the Naval Resistance Army.

After the education of Yuan Chaozu, Xicun Sanglong once again gained a little knowledge--- days are not as good as geography. However, no matter how much knowledge Nishimura Sang Ryu has, I don't know if there is a chance to use it.

Ren Tianyang, who didn't get the battle merits, was a little depressed, so he sneaked into the Trincomalee military port that night and vented fiercely, and several small patrol boats of the Japanese army became his ghosts. The dock that the devil has just repaired, and there is no good choice except to rebuild it again. (To be continued......) (To be continued......)
