Chapter 222: The Hapless Japanese Navy

With Lei Zhenhao's order, a 533mm torpedo was instantly pushed out a few seconds later, aiming directly at the opposite fleet. Taking advantage of the cover of night, coupled with the careless crew, they did not even notice that this great danger was coming towards them at this time.

A large ship that looks like a cargo ship, it doesn't seem to be anything from the outside, and the waterline is not very deep, if it is daytime, you can see that this ship is definitely not carrying too heavy cargo, but the interior of this ship is unique, all the windows are sealed, of course, most of the top is placed in the opposite direction with three or four wooden blocks similar to shutters, the purpose is to prevent the internal light from penetrating the outside.

The interior of the cargo ship was loaded with tens of thousands of soldiers, and since it was a night march and it was about to reach its destination, the soldiers here also picked up their luggage.

This is a ship transporting goods, and if it is used as a troop carrier, it is okay at close range, but the people inside are too uncomfortable at a long distance, and it seems that this problem has also been taken into account, and the distance between the two is relatively close, even if the ship is slow at night, that is, it can land in one night, so when choosing, the high-level officials of this book basically did not think much about it, and directly ordered the soldiers to board the ship, and they still had as many people as they could.

In this way, the efficiency of transporting troops has indeed improved, but the comfort of the soldiers on the boat has greatly decreased, the crowd is dense, coupled with the noisy talking, the annoying smell of smoke and the smell of feet that can make people vomit, of course, farting and snoring are also essential.

The environment in the cabin made them unwilling to stay here for even a second, it was too painful, so when there was still more than an hour before landing, they directly began to pack their bags, just waiting for the ship to dock, and strive to be the first to go ashore to breathe fresh air.

No one sensed that great danger was coming at them at this moment, and no one knew that the landing they had dreamed of would never exist, or even that they would die at the bottom of the sea the moment they breathed fresh air.

Although the ship showed extreme confidence and carelessness, but the escort of several warships are still doing something, the high-power searchlights on the warships are also shining back and forth, of course, their target is mainly far away, not on the water, in their impression, even if the Chinese have warships, they also come from the water, don't think about the submarines, they don't have that strength at all.

And based on the experience of the previous missions, this time they can go to sleep more comfortably, this is a very ordinary escort mission, except for the occasional sea water seeping into the warship and wetting their clothes, nothing else can touch them.

Xiao Yong Yinan dragged his tired body to the mast, although the navy is very dazzling in the palace, but he doesn't like the current post at all, his ideal is to make a naval gun, not to stand so high, to observe the surrounding situation, but no way, the superior must let him stay in this post, the system in the army is also quite strict, he has no connections, he can only choose to obey.

And Xiao Yong Yinan will behave very seriously every time he is on duty, of course, in addition to being responsible for his current position, he also wants to let the captain transfer himself to the gunner's post as much as possible through his own efforts, there was a soldier before, because he was not satisfied with his current work, he was directly transferred by the captain to the mechanical cabin under the cabin, listening to the roar of the machine every day, it is said that it didn't take long for the soldier to be caught in the machine because of distraction, and finally after being rescued, there was only a puddle of mud left, It looks terrifying.

So although Xiao Yong Yoshio doesn't like the current job, he has to force himself to work seriously, at least staying here can blow the sea breeze and breathe fresh air, which is much better than those soldiers who stay below and never see the sun.

"Ino-kun, I'm here for a shift change, is there anything wrong?" Xiao Yong shook his head forcibly, trying to make himself more awake as much as possible, if the captain found him dozing off on it, it would really be over.

"Xiao Yongjun, I found out that I really love you to death, and you will come over early every time you change shifts, haha." Ino-kun laughed, looking at the sleepy little Yong Yoshinan, who forced himself to wake up, quipped, and then continued: "Don't worry, it's very calm, but your trip is much better, we can dock in two hours, and you don't have to be so nervous for the remaining hour." ”

Xiao Yong Yinan has developed a habit, every time he is on duty, he will always prepare twenty minutes in advance, and then board the mast about fifteen minutes in advance, so that the former soldiers on duty can come down and rest as early as possible, and it is precisely because of this that Xiao Yong Yinan's popularity on this warship is quite good, although Xiao Yong Yinan wants to let others rest for a while every time, but later those soldiers also seem to feel a little uncomfortable, except that they are really sleepy. In other cases, they will basically stay there for a while.

The work of the lookout is boring, standing for hours at a time, no one can chat with them to relieve boredom, if you are really unhappy, you can only take a telescope to look at the sea, if you are lucky, you can see seagulls or something, like this kind of night is the most tiring, basically nothing can be seen, and you have to pull the searchlight on the mast to shine around.

Ino-kun handed the telescope in his hand to Xiao Yong Yoshio, and he himself was shining indiscriminately with a searchlight, and Xiao Yong Yoshio said while observing with a searchlight: "Ino Jun, I heard that you are married to Miss Luanzi?" When are you going to get married? ”

"Yes, last month, the family was engaged to the family, and I can take a vacation next month, and the family wants to go back next month to get married, and then give birth to a little doll as soon as possible, after all, we do what we do, who knows when we will go down to play with the fish." Ino-kun said while slatching on the searchlight, his face full of happiness.

I have to say that Ino-kun and Miss Luanzi are really a good match, these two get together, how many children do they want?

"I really envy you, but Ino-kun, my vacation is next month, and I can't go to your wedding." Xiao Yong said enviously.

"Don't worry, Xiao Yongjun, don't worry about your affairs, talk to Luan Zi when I go home, let him find a few girls for you, and let Luan Zi take you to meet when you go home next month, and if you have a fancy one, settle it first." Although Ino Jun is about to become a groom, he is not proud at all in front of Xiao Yongyinan, both of them are from poor families, and they often take care of each other in the fleet, so the relationship between the two is also very harmonious, in Chinese words, that is, a person who plays in a pair of pants.

"Then I'll thank you in advance, Ino-kun, but I think I still have to wait, I'm sure Miko will come back to me." Xiao Yong smiled helplessly and said firmly.

"Hey, last time Luanzi wrote to me that he saw Miko go home with a young man, and she didn't see the man coming out of Miko's house until the next morning, Miko has changed her mind, why do you bother." Ino Jun sighed and said helplessly, for this friend of his, Ino didn't know how to persuade him, this is the consequence of being too affectionate.

"Wait, Ino-kun, quickly pull the searchlight back to where it was." Xiao Yongyinan's face suddenly showed a hint of surprise, and he hurriedly shouted.

"What?" The two were talking about the future of Xiao Yongyinan, and suddenly said something else, Ino didn't react for a while, and asked subconsciously.

"Pull the searchlight back to where it was, quickly." Xiao Yong said anxiously.

And this time Xiao Yongyinan's voice was amplified a lot, and the officer on duty who had been staying below and dozing off immediately cheered up, he was the officer in charge of communicating between the lookout and the captain, and the lookout would chat with the officer when he was fine, after all, everyone knew that it was boring to stay on it, as long as it wasn't too much, no one would say anything. Hearing Xiao Yong Yinan's words, the officers below suddenly realized that something might have happened, and hurriedly stood up from the stool and stared at Xiao Yong Yinan.

And Ino finally reflected this time, and hurriedly pulled the searchlight back to its original position, only this time, the expression on Xiao Yongyinan's face instantly became much stiffer.

"Quick, sound the alarm." Xiao Yong Yoshio shouted at Ino urgently, and at the same time looked at the officer below, and said, "At nine o'clock, about two nautical miles, a torpedo was found. ”

Hearing Xiao Yong Yoshinan's report, the officer's face also showed horror at the same time, the most afraid of going to sea at night is the torpedo, limited by the line of sight, many warships are only found when the torpedo is about to hit them, if it is not for Xiao Yong Yoshinan's proficient business, it is difficult to find a high-speed torpedo at night......

However, within a range of two kilometers, it was difficult for the warship to successfully dodge, and it was still in the direction of nine o'clock, and the officer looked at the direction illuminated by the searchlight, according to the current speed of the warship, it was difficult to avoid it even if it stopped in time, and the warship was not a car, and it could be stopped at one or twenty meters.

The panicked officer hurriedly shouted loudly for the soldiers to enter the battle position, and at the same time, Ino also sounded the battle alarm, and for a while, the battleship was in a hurry.

At a distance of two kilometers, the torpedo was coming at them at a speed of forty or fifty knots, and it was a fool's dream to successfully dodge it, and at such a close distance, even if he informed the captain, he would not have time to make any reaction. As expected, the torpedo hit the warship they were on just as soon as the control module responded.

'Boom! ’

A loud sound suddenly came, and the entire sea surface was set off a huge wave, and the warship that was hit instantly tilted to the right a lot, and even faintly had a tendency to sink directly, but soon the warship regained its balance, but unfortunately, because of the tilt just now, many sailors who had no time to react were directly thrown into the sea, and the cold sea water instantly stimulated every soldier who fell into the water, and suddenly was surrounded by this cold sea water, even if it was a sailor who was familiar with the water surname, Several of them also had direct cramps.

On the left side of the warship, there was a gap about two meters in diameter, and the seawater was frantically poured into the warship along the gap, and the warship had a faint tendency to sink. (To be continued.) )
