Yamamoto Fifty-six was gloomy at this time, and had not yet launched an attack, the bombers had lost twenty, the attack aircraft Flamingo had lost twenty-two, and there was no news of two destroyers, one of which had caught fire, and I was afraid that there was no possibility of rescue. The King Kong has just lost contact, and it is estimated that there will be more than one luck. The Kirishima has lost all power and cannot save itself, tilting, it is estimated that it will not be easy to sink, but it needs to be rescued.

Compared with these, less than half of the attacking teams of the two divisions escaped, and at least more than half were left behind in that sea area. And they can't even do the rescue action, because it is the death zone.

"Yaga!!"

Yamamoto fifty-six smashed his fist on the seat, and he was extremely angry.

"Order, gather all the warships, and shell Yushan Island!!"

"Order, all carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier take off, bomb Yushan Island at the same time as Yushan Island is bombarded, and blow it to the bottom of the sea for me!!"

"Hayi!"

One by one, the generals cautiously received the order, and then conveyed the order, preparing to launch an attack on Yushan Island.

But at this moment, there was a seeping scream from the sky in the distance.

All the battleships that have not experienced the shelling do not know what the shell means, they all know that the battleship is moving, it is difficult to hit, after all, it is more than 20 kilometers away, beyond the line of sight. Not to mention now, even the fire control radar of later generations will not be able to guarantee the time to sink the battleship with artillery.

But the battleships that had experienced the horrific shelling were different, and the moment they heard the whistling sound, they all gave orders in horror and moved forward at full speed, ignoring the formation, and rushing forward in a panic.

Yamamoto Fifty-six immediately received a telegram and a flag warning him to retreat quickly, and before he could give the order, there was a loud bang in the distance, and a terrifying wave surged, as if a mountain peak had appeared. Then, the tide pushed the snow-white lines and surged.

"What kind of shelling is this?"

Yamamoto was shocked and ordered to move forward at full speed and evacuate into the distance.

He couldn't figure out what the water surface and column of water had just surged to explain. The cannonballs that fell there were more powerful than the 360 cannons on the battleship, but the projectiles were obviously not that large.

All the battleships fled forward in panic, and no one noticed that two thousand meters away, a periscope was slowly sinking, and in the surging waves, it accelerated the speed of the dive, and fled away at full speed.

On Yushan Island, the shelling continued, and the second round of shells reached the farthest distance. A group of ten, covering as large an area as possible, fired shells with a bang.

The battleship fled at full speed, but after all, the shells flew fast, and before the battleship could sail a few nautical miles, a loud bang sounded around the battleship.

"They can fight so far??"

The commanders of all the battleships immediately felt numb. It is important to know that the firing speed and density of shore guns are not the same as those of battleships, and the cannons on the shore can travel several nautical miles for battleships. Several cannons were bombarded, and the density was still large. Staying within the range of the shore defense artillery, even pure iron and solid ones will be shattered by non-stop shelling.

Fortunately, the ships here have picked up speed and are scattered in formation. Letting the shells fall did not hit the battleship, nor did it hit the aircraft carrier, only the two reconnaissance planes on the deck of the Akagi fell into the sea due to violent shaking, and the others were not damaged.

The shelling fell again in that area. Let the group of warships that escaped a few nautical miles be terrified.

Looking at the surging waves from afar, Yamamoto Fifty-six suddenly understood the reason why the cannonballs were small but powerful.

"The shells fell together!"

He put down his binoculars and said in surprise.

"How is that possible? Dozens of cannons are fired together, and the resonance will also shake the cannons apart! ”

A staff officer said incredulously.

"yes...... How did they do it......"

Yamamoto Fifty-six ignored the surprised expressions of the other generals, staring at the waves surging in the distance, muttering to himself.

How did he know that Dong Ku's artillery position was one of ten, and the other ten were at least 100 meters away, so there was no problem of resonance, which was also one of the necessary conditions for effective shooting, otherwise, a hundred cannons would roar together, which would be comparable to a giant artillery bombardment, and it would not hurt the soldiers on the position? That is, there are fifteen gates and twenty gates on Chongming Island. Moreover, as far as command is concerned, effective shooting is about communication and calculation, and without a complete communication system, it is absolutely impossible to carry out effective shooting.

He couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't immediately order the ship to stop, until it drove five nautical miles again, then stopped, reported to the base camp, and asked for a decision.

When the base camp heard that two King Kong-class battleships had been lost, they were distressed, but they also understood that they could not attack Shanghai. Otherwise, there will be a dearly price.

Abandoning the attack on Shanghai, escorting the remaining infantry to Qingdao, the fleet abandoning the rescue of Kirishima and Kongo, and the submarine went to sink without falling into the hands of the enemy.

Yamamoto Fifty-six looked at the message in his hand and sighed helplessly.

The base camp is not to blame, which is also rare. Obviously, the base camp has already learned that there are too many variables in the battle against the advance army. Everyone did not expect that the artillery fire of the advance army could actually bombard the battleship. Under normal circumstances, 200 caliber guns would pose a threat to battleships, but the distance was limited, far less than the range of the battleship's naval guns. But the opponent can not only bombard the battleship, but the range is far beyond the battleship's naval guns, so that the battleship can only be beaten in the battle, but it cannot fight back.

After sighing, he ordered: "Order two submarines to go, blow up and sink King Kong and Kirishima, and then chase the fleet, go to Qingdao to assemble, and the other ships form a formation and march towards Qingdao." ”

With his order, the fleet quickly formed formation, and with it, two of the four submarines following the fleet dived into the water and touched the vicinity of Yushan Island, trying to blow up the Sunk Kirishima and Kongo.

At the time of Yamamoto 56's order, Dong Ku had already ordered several Japanese gunboats and tugboats captured at the Shanghai dock to march towards Yushan Island with steel cables.

How could he have let these two battleships sink? Whether it's repaired or dismantled, it's all good things, but it's a pity to sink to the bottom of the sea.

At the same time, he was well aware of the decisiveness of the Japanese. Since they don't come back to the rescue, it means that they have given up, then they will definitely send a submarine to sink it. Therefore, while he ordered to go to the tugboat, he ordered his own submarine to listen to the nearby sea area and pay attention to guarding against the Japanese submarines, but not to expose them until the last resort, and to report the approximate location.

After receiving the order, the submarine dived to 200 meters in the sea area leading to Yushan Island according to Dong Ku's request, and waited quietly for the opponent's submarine to appear.

Dong Ku does not have depth charges here, but he believes that the other party's submarine will not dive that deep, after all, there are no ships on the sea to threaten them, and at most the cruising depth of thirty or forty meters is over, and maybe it will be at the periscope depth.

Under the silent waves, the sonar crew in the submarine concentrated and nervously listened to the movements in the sea, and half an hour later, he suddenly heard the sound of the propeller's fluctuating current.

After careful identification, he confirmed that the other party was two submarines, with a speed of five knots and a depth of no more than fifty meters, passing over their heads.

Subsequently, a telegram was sent, and without the knowledge of the Japanese submarines, their course, speed, and depth were reported.

After receiving the report, Dong Ku spread out the chart, calculated it himself, and after a few minutes, he got the expected location of the submarine, and then gave the order to give the coordinates of the artillery position. He wants to hit the submarine with artillery, and even if it doesn't sink, it will scare them to death.

The Japanese submarine steadily approached the vicinity of Yushan Island, and if there were six or seven nautical miles, it could reach the coordinates of the Kongo's most powerful power, and then split into two, the other went to bomb Kirishima, and the other bombed Kongo.

They don't know how to do it, and they don't have a chance to bomb the battleship, and it's probably difficult to survive.

As time ticked forward, two submarines moved into predetermined positions. Dong Ku doesn't need an exact location, he just needs a rough idea, because within two kilometers around, there are targets for bombardment, and he doesn't care if the submarine is fast or slow.

Seeing that the time had arrived, Dong Ku yelled: "Fire!" ”

The command followed, followed by the roar of the already ready cannons. All the artillery, plus the ones from Yushan Island, a total of 450 guns, in the earthquake of the earth, hundreds of shells, flew towards the area that had been drawn.

The two submarines were only more than 30 meters away from the sea, as Dong Ku expected, and they did not worry about the threat at all.

was sailing, suddenly, the submarine shook violently, and the moment the loud bang reached the submarine, the light bulbs shattered, and in the creaking sound, those pressure valves popped, and the water jets sprayed everywhere when the submarine's emergency lights were on.

"Not good! Depth Charges!! ”

Both submarines were shocked, nervously ordered to dive quickly to repair the damage, and they both thought that the destroyer had dropped a water seepage bomb.

However, the violent shock caused the submarine to be damaged in many places, and the pipeline was also broken, so the speed of the dive was not fast.

The shelling, after one round, followed by the next, was followed by a few seconds of reloading, and the cannon roared again.

The two submarines that were diving shook violently again, and in the violent shaking, the lights that had just been restored were extinguished again, and the sound of the hull creaking made every crew member numb in their scalps, and they were panicked in the thumping pressure reducing valve and screw jumping.

The violent concussion caused a fire in the engine room of one of the ships, and the fire could not be controlled in two or three seconds, and in the panic shouts, the hatch that did not have time to close allowed the fire snake to erupt, and then, in a few seconds, it spread to the torpedo compartment.

"It's over......"

This thought popped into everyone's minds.

Sure enough, at the moment of the ensuing loud bang, there was an explosion in the engine room, followed by a loud bang, and the submarine fell apart. wreckage, floating to the bottom of the sea,

The other ship was lucky, and at the moment of the explosion of its companions, it desperately dived, trying to dive to the bottom of the sea when the next wave of depth charges arrived.

But they forgot that this is the extent of the continental shelf, and it is the mouth of the Yangtze River, where is there such a deep depth for him to dive? During the rapid dive, the submarine shook violently, and the fierce impact caused everyone to fall to the ground and roll into a ball, and then, all the lights disappeared, and the submarine shook again, and then rolled down and lay down on the bottom of the sea...... (To be continued......)
