Zheng Shuang, the captain of the Jairus, did nothing in the afternoon battle except to shoot down a Japanese fighter.

In the afternoon, the Japanese aircraft carriers dispatched six bombers and torpedo planes to carry out air raids on the Baxia and Jairs. In fact, because the devil's air force has a conspicuous 152mm main gun on the Baxia, the focus of the attack is Baxia.

Captain Zheng Shuang, the captain of the Jairus, watched as the Baxia was sunk. The captain of the overlord, He Boiling, originally belonged to the Guangdong Navy, and he did not join the Naval Resistance Army for a long time. The two are not very familiar, but Zheng Shuang was impressed by this old soldier during training. He boiled salt's military rank in China is colonel, and although his military rank in the Naval Resistance Army has not changed, he is only the captain of the Baxia, and because of his profound naval experience, he is the commander of the two warship formations. During the training, Zheng Shuang received great help from He Zhuanyan, an old officer, and quickly changed from a navigator to a qualified captain, and the two said that they were superior and inferior, which was closer to the elders and juniors.

The Baxia was sunk by Japanese fighters, and less than 50 people survived on the Baxia, which was full of 81 people, and more than half of them were killed or wounded. And the veteran soldier He boiled salt was also killed on the spot. These young soldiers, as well as the officers, and Zheng Shuang are usually in the same pot. The heavy loss made Zheng Shuang's heart like a knife. A six-hundred-ton battleship was sunk by several small fighters in just a few dozen minutes, Zheng Shuang was angry but helpless.

The enemy plane retreated, Zheng Shuang spent an hour saving all the brothers, and then sent all the fighters of the Baxia to the PC.

The heavy losses did not hit Zheng Shuang's fighting spirit, and he was now full of only two words - revenge. The Jairus sailed at full speed without delaying for a minute, and it was already nine twenty o'clock in the evening when Zheng Shuang arrived at the battlefield again. This is the life-and-death stake for the Pacific.

In the darkness of the night, the Jairus swam into the sea like an assassin.

The Jairwood had no main gun and was weak in self-defense. However, Jairus had two triple torpedo launchers. At the beginning of the design, the functional orientation of the Jairus was mainly anti-submarine, and the auxiliary function was a torpedo boat.

On the sea, the sick body of the Pacific Ocean is very conspicuous. The three battleships of the devil kept using the secondary guns to fire flares, and the Pacific had already been destroyed due to the lack of secondary guns, and the three battleships of the devil were invisible in the dark, and only the fire bursting from the muzzles could be seen.

It's not a good sign for the Pacific, but it's a good sign for the Jairus.

It's dark under the lights.

This sea area is quite familiar to Zheng Shuang.

At the tip of the Somali Peninsula in East Africa is Cape Guadafoy, the easternmost point of Africa, with three or four small reefs and even more reefs between the easternmost part of the continent and Socotra, the gateway to the Gulf of Aden.

In the past month or two, the fleet of the Naval Resistance Force has passed through this sea area many times, and the Jianhui's familiarity with this sea area is definitely not comparable to that of the Japanese Navy.

The three warships of the Japanese Navy could only pursue along the shipping lanes that had been explored on charts for centuries, but the Jairus could navigate from the side of the complex islands and reefs.

Zheng Shuang's chosen target was the Japanese battleship Kirishima, and the huge Kirishima was also obvious in the dark night. The tongues of fire from the main guns are enough to illuminate a radius of several kilometers.

The Jairus was light-controlled, and the swarthy hull was not conspicuous in the dark night. The initial approach was extremely smooth, and the Jairus was neither fired nor attacked by Japanese artillery. However, Zheng Shuang underestimated the devil's cat's eye observation post, which was still five kilometers away from the Kirishima and had already been discovered.

The Japanese Navy had a kind of blind confidence in their ability to fight at night, and the destroyer Yukikaze was no exception. In just a few minutes, the Japanese destroyer Yukikaze turned its guns and began to pour fire on the Jairus.

FOR ZHENG SHUANG, IT IS MEANINGLESS TO FIGHT BACK, WITH ONLY TWO 88MM GUNS, AT A DISTANCE OF NEARLY TEN KILOMETERS, IT IS DIFFICULT TO CAUSE MUCH DAMAGE TO THE OPPONENT EVEN IF HE HITS THE OPPONENT.

Without hesitation, Jairus dropped all the depth charges at the first opportunity. Zheng Shuang dropped the depth charge, one to ensure that the Jairus would not cause the bomb to explode when it was hit, and the other was to use the mist stirred up by the depth charge to confuse the opponent's aim.

Zheng Shuang's "generosity" (dozens of depth charges that cost a lot of money) bought two or three minutes for Jairus.

At this time, there was no need for stealth and silence, and the battleship's two-seater diesel engine quickly increased to the maximum throttle, and in a very short time it had already soared to the top speed - thirty-five knots.

But the devil's Yukikaze destroyer was faster, at least at a speed of thirty-eight knots, and was forcibly attacking.

At this time in the battle, Kono Manjo was actually lacking in confidence, knowing that the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, and he would never allow the battleship Kirishima to be damaged. The destroyer Yukikaze received only one order - to protect the battleship Kirishima with all its might.

Seeing, the Jairus's target is directed at the Kirishima. The captain of the destroyer Yukikaze is a fool and understands that the opponent is attacking the battleship Kirishima. The devils on the Snowwind had begun to go crazy, and the ammunition was pouring around the Jairus.

The destroyer Yukikaze, the boss of the three auspicious fortunes of the Japanese Navy, began to leak domineeringly, and opened fire in full force.

Soon, not only the guns on the destroyer Yukikaze, but also the secondary guns on the Kirishima joined in the bombardment of the Jairus. YOU MUST KNOW THAT THE JAPANESE BATTLESHIP KIRISHIMA ONLY HAD AS MANY AS 16 GUNS ALONE WITH 152MM SECONDARY GUNS, AND THERE WERE EIGHT GUNS IN HALF. And the destroyers of the devils also have ten six-inch and five-inch guns.

In just a few minutes, Jairus had already been shot three times. Fortunately, the Jairus was protected by armor and suffered few casualties. The Jairus has the same protection as the Baxia, with three-inch armor as the focus and one-inch armor in most parts. But the powerful penetration of naval guns is not something that an inch of armor can withstand.

Zheng Shuang had never seen such dense firepower, and the cannonballs exploded around the Jair, exploding on the deck, and the sound was like firecrackers, endlessly.

The dense rain of bullets made Zheng Shuang seem to be lost for a moment. The mist stirred up by the cannonballs had already covered the sky, and he could hardly even see the stars in the clear sky.

Spelled. Zheng Shuang. yelled.

In just a few minutes, the stormy artillery fire had left the Jairus bruised, the lookout mast had been blown off by the barricade, and the lookout post had been thrown into the sea.

Since it was difficult to see the ocean, it was difficult for two poor 88-mm guns to pose a threat to enemy ships. Zheng Shuang gave an order, and all the soldiers withdrew into the cabin.

In fact, even the already low bridge has been bombed, and Zheng Shuang has no choice but to withdraw to the cockpit. The Jairus had become blind at this moment, and had completely abandoned the observation post.

The lack of vision does not mean that Jairus will really be disoriented. You must know that Jairus was built for anti-submarine purposes, and the sonar system is very complete.

The sonar crews had locked onto the Kirishima propeller before it was discovered by the Japanese fleet.

The officers and men of the Jairus now are hiding in an iron box that is not strong, and they are bravely pursuing the battleship Kirishima.

It takes courage. The continuous explosion of shells smashed on the armor like hammers, and the sound was deafening, and there were not a few soldiers who trembled all over. Under the dim cabin lights, the soldiers' faces were pale, and many of them were shocked and vomited.

Death knocks at the door. It was really the sound of death knocking on the door.

Zheng Shuang once studied in Europe, and there is no such thing as death knocking on the door in Chinese myths and legends, but it is widely spread in Europe. No one can imagine the terrifying sound of the Grim Reaper knocking on the door, but today Zheng Shuang doesn't have to imagine, he has really heard the sound of the Grim Reaper knocking on the door.

Within ten minutes, his pipe damage squad had blocked five water intakes.

After another violent explosion, there was an exclamation from the cabin: "The 21st watertight compartment is flooded." ”

Yue Fei is the big pipe on the Jianwei, that is, the leader of the management loss squad. He didn't hesitate at this moment, in fact he didn't think about it.

All the reactions were reflexes developed in training, and he immediately rushed to the 21st watertight chamber.

Jairus has only two levels of watertight cabins, for a total of forty watertight cabins. The 21st watertight compartment is located at the stern of the lower floor. In accordance with the regulations of the war, the watertight hatch was closed in wartime. But the task of the damage management team is to plug the loopholes as much as possible and pump the seawater out. Closure of watertight hatches should be taken as a last resort. The reason for this is that the flooding of the watertight compartment can slow down the speed of the battleship.

When Yue Fei stumbled to the No. 21 watertight cabin, he found that the soldier's report was not very accurate. Now not only the 21st watertight compartment, but also the adjacent 22nd has been flooded.

The shot was on the weld of the isolation steel plate between the two compartments. Although the mouth is not large, it is two meters below the surface of the sea, and the sea water is like a faucet opening wide, gushing in.

This is one of the most common types of management loss. Yue Fei took a few soldiers and quickly plugged the loophole with wooden stoppers and hemp rope. Then the pump valve began to be opened to drain water to the outside of the ship.

At this moment, Jairus shook again.

The microphone again came "Water in the watertight compartment No. 5." ”

Yue Fei knew everything about the watertight cabin of the Jairus, and he did not go to the No. 5 watertight cabin on the upper level, but went straight to the No. 15 watertight cabin on the lower level.

The importance of watertight compartments No. 5 and No. 15 is not comparable to that of watertight compartments No. 21 and 22. There are two watertight cabins, one on the second deck and one on the bilge. More importantly, the two watertight compartments have the only access between the upper and lower decks.

If the watertight compartment No. 5 is flooded, the most important thing to do is not to plug the hole, but to close the watertight door between the two decks.

When Zheng Shuang arrived at the No. 15 watertight cabin, he found that a soldier happened to be stuck in the watertight door and had died. Seawater is pouring frantically into the fifteenth watertight chamber along the watertight door.

There was no time to grieve, Zheng Shuang pulled down the fallen soldier with his head full of seawater. Stand on the ladder and try to close the watertight hatch.

As soon as he exerted his strength, he realized that the lid could not be moved at all in this position. In an instant, he figured out the reason for the death of the warrior just now.

The hinge of the lid is stuck.

In order to close the lid, you have to enter the watertight compartment No. 5 yourself. Use force from the bottom up to close the lid. But when the lid is closed, it will be difficult for him to come out again.

If this lid is not closed, then cabin 15 will be filled with seawater immediately. And this is not the most terrifying, once the fifteenth compartment is filled with seawater, it will be difficult for all the dozen or so fighters in this watertight compartment to get out.

No one knew what Yue Fei thought at the last moment, he worked hard to climb into the No. 5 watertight cabin, closed the hatch, and the seawater quickly filled the No. 5 watertight cabin.
