Chapter 454: Wusong Fortress (18)
Shirakawa Yoshinori felt a little depressed, so he simply walked out of the command room and stood by the bridge fence, the river breeze brought a hint of coolness, and everywhere he saw was foggy, Shirakawa Yoshinori looked to the northeast, where Tokyo was located, and he could have a hunch that the Imperial Kingdom had lost patience with waiting.
It is also strange to say that since Shirakawa Yoshinori came out of the command room, the fog around the Nagato slowly faded, and suddenly four white lines suddenly appeared on the surface of the river, and he galloped towards the battleship at a degree of more than 40 knots, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly, although as a general of the 6th Army, he still had some understanding of the common sense of the navy, and there was only one possibility for this kind of white line flying at a degree of more than 40 knots, torpedo.
Oh my God, there were four torpedoes heading straight for the battleship Nagato, and after a brief moment of stunnedness, he roared out of a faux paze.
"There are torpedoes, let the battleship evade quickly."
Shirakawa Yoshinori knew that the battleship was stationary at this time, and it was difficult to do it for more than a quarter of an hour to ignite and maneuver, and it would never take five minutes for the torpedo to explode from the time it was fired, and the warning shout of Admiral Shirakawa attracted the attention of the sailors of the Nagato, which were indeed four torpedoes, but in despair, although they saw the torpedo, they could only watch him get closer and closer to the battleship little by little and could not do anything.
Even more desperate, the sharp-eyed sailor suddenly pointed to the distant level and exclaimed: "Look, there are four more torpedoes there." ”
"No...... Not four...... Be...... It's eight ......."
The sailors were desperate, and were hit by twelve torpedoes with a caliber of more than fifty millimeters, not to mention the waterline armor of the Nagato, and even no battleship in the world today could withstand such a severe blow.
In an instant, Shirakawa Yoshinori only felt that the hull of the ship shook suddenly, he involuntarily grabbed the iron fence, his palms were covered with cold sweat and slippery, and he almost didn't catch it, only a few seconds apart, the hull of the Nagato ship shook violently again, and then it shook one after another, and this treaty-type battleship with a displacement of more than 30,000 tons swayed left and right on the water like a cramp.
But soon this swaying was replaced by an unprecedented earthquake, and then the sound of explosions came from the inside of the ship, and in Shirakawa Yoshinori sounded, the end of the world was nothing more than that, he only felt that his ears were buzzing, and he could no longer hear a sound, and then several more violent explosions he actually felt nothing, only the hull that was lifted up and dropped by the explosion reminded him that the Nagato ship was finished.
It must have been hit in the ammunition compartment and caused the explosion, the tongue of fire spread to an astonishing degree, and soon reached the first deck, and the sailors who had not had time to escape were engulfed in fire in an instant, billowing black smoke spread from the Nagato ship, and a black column of smoke with a diameter of more than ten meters pierced through the river fog and towered into the sky, which was extremely spectacular.
The attendant military attache tried to escort Admiral Shirakawa to a safe place to take refuge, but soon they appeared, every effort was in vain, the tongue of fire and black smoke had spread to every corner of the battleship like a plague, and there was only one choice in front of them, and that was the river.
"Your Excellency General, jump into the river, the battleship is no longer saved."
Now, Shirakawa Yoshinori has no choice, let the two attendant military attachés put the orange life jacket on himself, and then close his eyes and jump down, from this moment on, Shirakawa Yoshinori is no longer the Minister of the 6th Army of the Imperial Cabinet of the Great Japanese Empire, nor is he the general of the 6th Army of the Imperial Japanese Empire, he is just an ordinary, the same as the sailors of the refugee.
The two attendant military attachés also jumped down after him, jumping from a bridge more than ten meters high was full of danger, maybe falling on a deck that had been swallowed by thick smoke and flames, or maybe being injured by a steel part of the hull, but Shirakawa Yoshiro was lucky, this old man who was over the age of sixteen armor simply withstood the impact of falling into the water from a height of more than ten meters, and the attendant military attache quickly found him from among the shipwrecked sailors like dumplings, and tried to pull him away from the battleship.
At this time, the battleship had exploded many times in a row, and Shirakawa Yoshinori looked weakly at the Nagato, which was still majestic a quarter of an hour ago, although the smoke wrapped the huge hull, he could still vaguely see that the warship was broken in the middle, and the amidship was completely below the water, and the bow was relatively good, but it was only a matter of time before there was silence.
The tragic situation was unprecedented, the general of the Japanese 6th Army only felt as if he was in a different world, two lines of turbid tears burst down from the old man's eyes, one touched the emperor's knife on his waist, ready to draw the knife and commit suicide, the matter has come to this point, as the imperial general and cabinet minister, where does he still have the face to continue to live in the world.
The attendant military attache noticed his strange move, and immediately stopped his suicide, and persuaded:
"Your Excellency General, no, the matter has not yet been clarified, you must find out the truth first......"
Yes, it was a foolish suicide like this, and the military attaché's advice worked, and Shirakawa Yoshinori decided to figure out the whole thing, and after a second shame, he apologized to His Majesty the Emperor by caesarean section.
It's just that he still has this chance.
The two military attachés dragged him far away from the range of the Nagato, and the water surface more than ten meters in front of him suddenly split into two splashes, and a monster rushed up to the surface of the water diagonally, and then fell again, splashing the three of them all over their faces.
Seeing this, the three of Shirakawa Yoshinori said in unison: "Submarine." ”
Yes, it was a submarine, with a slender and mighty black and gray hull, a machine gun standing in the bow, the river water was falling from the cannon barrel, majestic and high-spirited, the sealed door on the shell of the command room was opened, and an officer and several soldiers rushed out.
The officer's collar badge is dazzling, and he is actually a major general.
One of the soldiers saw the three people floating down the river from a distance, and couldn't help laughing: "Commander, we have caught a big fish again this time." ”
The major general couldn't help but smack his tongue under a closer look, he was actually the general of the Japanese 6th Army, this fish is very big, Chairman Wu really did not deceive our brothers, being the navy is more refreshing than being the 6th Army, and he can catch big fish more, and he snatched the submachine gun in the hands of the soldiers around him in excitement, and shot at the water.
"Don't move, you've become prisoners of the Chinese Navy." Then he waved his hand and said, "Go down a few people, and bring these big fish to us." ”
Before the words fell, there were a few "poof" and "poof" sounds, and the soldiers scrambled to jump into the water, and twisted the three people onto the boat without waste.
The major general looked up and down at the general of the 6th Army, who was like a water dog, and sneered: "I don't know Your Excellency's honorable name, I am Zhang Liangzuo, commander of the First Submarine Force of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army. ”
Shirakawa Yoshinori was worthy of being the general of the Japanese 6th Army, and he quickly regained his composure after getting on the boat, his short body trembling faintly because of falling into the water, and he held the emperor's sword in his hand, and tried his best to restrain his natural reaction to humiliate his body, which looked a little funny.
"I'm Yoshinori Shirakawa."
Needless to say, any far-sighted military governor of China should have heard of his name.
