Rear Admiral Yamada suddenly felt that the hull of the ship was slammed, because Japan is an island country, he himself has rich sailing experience, so he subconsciously thought, could it be that the ship was grounded, but then the violent explosion sounded, let him wake up to the fact that this is by no means as simple as running aground, and then the whole ship fell into a more violent vibration, explosion and loud noise, Rear Admiral Yamada was completely blinded, completely confused about the situation, he only felt that the hull was tilting, there was a panic on the deck, the soldiers of the 24th Brigade screamed and screamed, the situation has begun to get out of control.

Then, another troop transport ship also exploded, but it was obvious that the ship they were approaching was not just an explosion and a shock, the skyrocketing fire was announcing to the people, the ammunition compartment had exploded, and the explosions one after another stunned the soldiers on the deck, including Rear Admiral Yamada were at a loss for what to do in fear and despair, what should he do now, in the center of the Yangtze River with a depth of nearly ten meters, what choice did they have for the infantry.

Yamada's heart tightened, the secret weapon was on that ship, and now it was destroyed, and Commander Gangmura's plan was more than half of a failure, he immediately ran to the bridge, hoping to negotiate with the captain to see if the troop carrier could dock nearby, and ran to the command room He read a trace of ominousness from the captain's expression.

"Your Excellency Captain, please dock the ship nearby, the remaining Imperial soldiers still have the strength to fight......"

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Rear Admiral, the rudder is damaged, and Yan Zhòng has lost ......control," he shouted into the microphone with a hiss.

"Damage is reported in each compartment, and damage is reported in each compartment."

Soon a panicked voice came from the microphone.

"Compartment No. 1 is completely flooded......"

"Coal bunker inlet ......"

The hull had undergone at least three tremors, and many damages were inevitable, all of which were to be expected, but it was the words that came from the next microphone that really changed the color of the experienced captain.

"The water-sealed hatch is damaged and cannot be repaired...... Can't fix ......"

The hatch of the water barrier was damaged, he knew very well what it meant, because this was a converted troop carrier from a cargo ship launched in the Taisho era, although it already had a water tank, it was extremely rudimentary, with only one compartment and a door, so the only water tank was useless, and the sinking of the whole ship could no longer be stopped.

The captain staggered back two steps, but fortunately the first mate stood behind him and helped him, so he did not fall, and Rear Admiral Yamada saw that the captain who had always been calm and decisive before looked like this, and his heart was already cold, but he still asked unwillingly:

"What happens if the water trap is damaged."

The sailor on the side replied in despair: "The hole in the hull that has been torn is too big, and the degree of precipitation influx has far exceeded the degree of water pump drainage, so there is only one result of the damage to the water trap, that is, the shipwreck." ”

It really confirmed his guess, what could he do if the soldier fell into the water, the river was turbulent, and it was almost dawn, if the people of China had already been ambushed on the shore, they would really become fish on the chopping board, to be slaughtered, and what was even more deadly was that after the shipwreck, the formation of the soldiers on the ship would be completely disrupted, even if they could escape from the river and swim ashore, it would be a plate of loose sand, and they could still be expected to fight with the people of China.

A deep sense of powerlessness instantly occupied Major General Yamada's entire body, and he felt even more that he was doomed to defeat before he saw where the enemy was, and he didn't even let go of a single shot, which made him reconcile.

The captain held on to the slipway, and through the window he saw that the fire on the friendly neighbor's ship suddenly burst again, and the whole ship almost disintegrated, and there was a feeling of sadness for the dead rabbit and fox.

"All the people on the Kirishima are finished, and we don't know how long we will last, so let's jump ship and run for our lives." At the time of arrival, all the lifeboats were unloaded in order to free up as much space as possible for the transports to be loaded with infantry and ammunition, and now they were cocooned and had not even a small boat left for themselves.

Since Major General Yamada knew that the defeat was decided, he was not as panicked as before, but he calmed down, and the only thing he didn't understand was what the Shina people relied on to attack them.

"Your Excellency, Yamada has a question, what did the Shina people use to attack the transport, they don't even have a gunboat...... Howitzers are even less likely to ......"

Indeed, if it was a howitzer used by the infantry, he was familiar with it, and how could it escape his ears.

The captain first said to the first officer, second officer, and sailors in the command room: "The ship is sinking, so all the kings should find their own way to survive." "The room was so full that no one would leave, and he, as the captain of the ship, would never abandon the ship, and was ready to sink with it.

Then he smiled sadly at Major General Yamada.

"Did you ever know how the battleship Nagato sank and how Admiral Shirakawa disappeared?"

"This ...... This ......"

The disappearance of the Nagato ship and Admiral Shirakawa was classified as a top secret by the Japanese Army Headquarters in Songhu, except for the captains of the navy ships who knew the details, the 6th Army was strictly blocked, so although Yamada was the commander of the rear admiral's brigade, he still knew very little about this matter, and said in his heart, how to withdraw the Nagato ship and Admiral Shirakawa in the current situation.

The captain continued: "How do you think that the 30,000-ton giant ship newly launched by the Imperial Kingdom could be sunk. ”

A 30,000-ton giant ship is almost unsinkable in Yamada's eyes, except for the cannon of a giant ship of the same level as him, what else can make him sink, the poor ones can't even afford to buy food, where can there be a warship of this size, the more I think about it, the more confused I become.

"Could it be that Europe and the United States are helping that person?"

It was a possibility he had been suspecting for a long time.

The captain smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No one is helping the people, they have a kind of sharp weapon like this, the submarine." ”

"Submarines, is that the kind of ship that can sneak underwater?"

He had heard of such an unpopular warship as a submarine, but he never imagined that this kind of guy who the Imperial Navy disdained to equip would actually knock out all the pride of the Imperial 6th Army and the Navy at one time, could it be that this time it was also a submarine attack.

The captain just wanted to speak again, the hull suddenly lost its balance, the stern of the ship sank down, the bow of the ship was lifted by high pressure, everyone lost their balance and was heavily loaded on the bulkhead, Yamada only felt that the bones in his body seemed to be broken, but he didn't see that his soldiers on the deck were thrown into the Yangtze River like dumplings.

After the bow of the ship is cocked, the entire hull of the ship is at an angle of 30 degrees to the water, almost visible to the naked eye, and then sinks into the water.

Suddenly, a smell of garlic mixed with a burnt smell wafted into the command room, and the captain shook his nose a few times and frowned, "What a smell." "It's not that he hasn't seen an exploding shipwreck, he'd seen it a lot in naval battles back then, but he had never smelled such a strange smell.
