Chapter 180: The submarine is in action
Seeing that the little devils were outside the inner harbor of the Yuanmen, as if no one was in a no-man's land, the commander of the artillery regiment who saw the group of little devil warships dispatched, also gave the order to enter the anti-artillery holes very sensibly. When they heard the sound of the artillery, the surviving artillerymen came out of the anti-artillery hole, saw the position that had been almost plowed by the shells, and were glad that they had run fast just now.
When they climbed to the observation post again and saw that the little devils began to concentrate on demining, the artillery commander arranged for their artillery regiment to strike a fatal blow. This time, the targets they wanted to attack were no longer those small warships with a class of less than 10,000 tons, but two main warships that began to slowly march into the inland waters of the port.
The artillery commander, who had been acting as the commander just now, looked at the four preserved shore defense guns, and was also glad that they had indeed achieved unexpected results in this sectional attack. Now it's up to them to see if this killer feature that has been put away in advance can make them create another miracle.
If they could sink one more Japanese capital ship, then this achievement would be enough to make their great achievements remembered in the history of Longhua's military exploits. This is undoubtedly a temptation that is difficult to refuse for any soldier.
Looking at the officers and soldiers under his command, most of whom were slightly injured and almost bandaged, the artillery commander pointed to the warships cruising in the open sea and said: "Brothers, the brothers in front have set an example for us, they sank four warships and seriously injured two of them. This record is enough to make them die without regrets. In addition to the brothers who need medical treatment, they have been sent down the mountain by the brothers of the army. Now on this mountain, we are the only ones left.
So what are we staying here for? I can tell you that it is to teach these gangsters another profound lesson, let them know that Longhua has no warships, and there are shore defense artillery, which can also make him roll out of the waters of Longhua with a disgrace. So, I can tell you, brothers. Wait a minute, we're going to use the four cannons we have saved to inflict another heavy blow on their bull-bombarded battleship.
And the object of our shelling this time is not to pick those small shrimps, but to hit their flagship. As long as we sink a little devil's flagship, even if we die, we will have no regrets. Think about General Sa and the Longcheng ship, if it weren't for their heroic feat, blocking the capital ship of the little devil for us, what about our current glorious front?
Therefore, in public and private, we will beat the little devil a capital ship and let him give our Longcheng and General Sa a burial. Let Sa Lao know. Back then, he desperately tried his best to bring the cannon for us, and it didn't disgrace his old man.
I can also tell you that as long as we sink the flagship of the little devils, we will be able to go down the mountain happily and receive heroic etiquette. So. Now we're ready to be like our brothers in Position One. After a direct round of hits, he went down the mountain to drink. Let these wokes go! ”
Clear record of four sinkings and two serious injuries. could have allowed them to leave with dignity, but looking at Zuihou's killer move, the artillery regiment also felt that it was a bit of a waste. Therefore, even if he wanted to keep some seeds for the artillery regiment, he had to make a ruthless decision to leave after the blow. If a round hits a flagship. He will not be greedy to search for a second warship strike.
After all, the accuracy of the little devil's navy's shelling just now clearly told him. Having lost the first move, they are no match for the little devil naval artillery at all. What he wants is to take the initiative. It is also necessary to guarantee a first-round hit.
Looking at these surviving brothers, they held back their strength one by one, making parameter adjustments and preparations before the shelling. Several observers kept reporting the area and parameters where the little devil's flagship was located. For the artillery in the back, set up an ambush site parameters in advance for a visit.
Just as the two capital ships cautiously followed the warships sticking out of the channel and slowly drove into the channel in front of the inner harbor. Like a group of ghostly submarine formations under the sea, they quietly rubbed the side of the little devil navy warship and quietly dived into the harbor of the inland sea.
Looking at the battleship acting as a minesweeper and defense in front of him, Thackley stared at the periscope and saw a minesweeper that was clearly out of the ranks. Sackrie said in a deep voice: "Order, the No. 4 submarine will carry out a torpedo attack on the minesweeper in front, and after the torpedo is launched, ignore the results and dive directly into the waters of the No. 1 submarine." ”
Therefore, when this little devil's minesweeper is constantly cleaning up the mines that may have been laid in front of the ship. The commander of the No. 4 submarine, who received the order, said happily: "Rabbit cubs, we are the first in the entire formation to open. I'm going to miss the torpedo later, and I'll see how I clean you up. The No. 1 position is pressed, and the observer corrects the direction. ”
When the preparations for the attack were completed, the commander of the No. 4 submarine shouted excitedly: "Launch!" Dive! ”
When this torpedo, which weighed thousands of pounds, shot out of the magazine and quickly ran towards the minesweeper, it happened to be a Japanese soldier observing the water situation. I was also curious about what fish were so big that they could make waves at the bottom of the water. The torpedo was ready to hit the bottom deck of the minesweeper's cabin.
With a loud bang, the soldier who only realized that the black shadow just now was not a fish but a bomb, but was directly blown to pieces, becoming the first person to understand who died under the attack of the submarine. As for this minesweeper, the bloody mouth torn open by the torpedo could not be stopped at all. I could only watch as it slowly sank into the sea beneath me.
Seeing the loud noise of the minesweepers undoubtedly attracted all the warships that were nearby. Watching the minesweeper enter the water and begin to sink, no one would have imagined that it would sink because of a torpedo attack. Because the other party was careless, they collided with the mines planted by the Longhua Navy, causing them to finally sink with heavy damage.
Only the artillery commander, who stayed on the shore and carefully watched the little devil's navy's every move, felt a little confused. Because in that area, it seems that no naval mines have been laid. However, the mines laid in advance also shifted their positions and were hit by this unlucky little devil minesweeper?
However, I didn't expect that there is now one more weapon in the world that can attack warships from underwater. The commander of the artillery regiment thinks that this should be because God sees the little devils unpleasantly, and intends to win back some face for them! Therefore, I also looked at it with interest, and the little devil flagship that was still moving forward like a snail.
Thackrie, who had been watching the first round of attacks, couldn't help but shout 'yes' when he saw the No. 4 submarine hit with one hit. Seeing that the little devil didn't seem to have any suspicions, he still sent a small boat to rescue the crew who had fallen into the water and fled.
But today was destined to be their nightmare day, and Thackley, who had been keeping an eye on the movements of Japanese warships on the surface shortly after the minesweeper sank. The decisive discovery of a big cruiser with little devils seems to be a bit like trying to seize the credit. He did not follow the channel opened up by the minesweeper, but chose another channel to slow down to the inner harbor.
Seeing another prey, Thackley directly surrounded the two submarines in order to ensure that the cruiser would be sunk with one blow. Before going around the bow of the opposing ship, two torpedoes exploded almost simultaneously were fired at once. Under such a double torpedo blow, the cruiser suddenly lost power and slowly sank in a top-heavy shape.
Miki Ichiro, who thought he had lost four capital battleships and seriously injured two warships, saw another capital cruiser hit a mine. It is clear that these guys must be trying to seize the battle merits, so they are looking for a dead deviation from the channel cleared by the minesweeper. Unusually unlucky, it hit a mine, and the result can be imagined to sink.
The officers and men of the artillery regiment, who had been lying on the artillery position in front, also screamed excitedly when they saw that there was another warship with little devils, which had fallen under the mines laid by the navy in advance. I don't know what kind of mine work this is, it is completely someone who is stabbing at the bottom of the sea!
Watching the two submarines sink a little devil's cruiser again, Thackrie, who commanded this kind of submarine for the first time, was undoubtedly deeply shocked. He knew very well that if it weren't for the fear of exposing the existence of submarines, the navy of these little devils today would feel that it would lose nearly half of it, and it would be possible to escape the hunt of the submarine that surrounded them.
Knowing that there are two of them, these three words are undoubtedly a little slower, and soon Thackley ordered the submarines to continue cruising and stay covert. Wait until these little devils have completed the search and rescue mission before attacking. Anyway, he knew that the rabbits of the artillery regiment in front of him had a killer move.
Besides, it was already dark at this time, and if the navy of the little devils wanted to carry out night shelling, they had to turn on the searchlights. Sailing in an unfamiliar sea full of mines at night is undoubtedly a normal thing to hit a few more mines. Therefore, knowing that the submarine still had enough time to ventilate, Sackley ordered the submarine to continue to lurk and wait for the opportunity to come out again.
When the two flagships of the little devils were about to enter the waterway blocked by the Dragon Castle with difficulty, Miki Ichiro, who was depressed, immediately ordered all the remaining minesweepers in the fleet to enter the waters in front of the inner harbor to clear mines. He followed step by step, hoping to be the first to act as the meritorious person who shelled the Yinmen Military Port.
Even if it was clear that the commander of the fleet wanted to fight for the first attack, the other captains of the fleet did not dare to say anything, so they could only start to line up in a neat queue according to the tonnage. Get ready for a fireworks feast before the night for Yinmen Port!
But what they didn't know was that today was destined to be their tragic day, and with the command flag hanging by Miki Ichiro's command flagship, it clearly appeared in the sight of the commander of the artillery regiment. The regiment commander directly said to his subordinates: "Just pick this command flagship to fight!" Go home for dinner after work! ”
So the artillery parameters were set to the artillerymen in the area before the exclusive passage for the Dragon City to enter and exit the military port. When he saw the flagship commanded by Ichiro Miki, the huge body finally entered the best attack position. The commander of the artillery regiment shouted excitedly: "Release! ”
The artillery pulled the bolt violently, and four cannonballs with anger and revenge made a huge fireball under the night sky, and went straight to the flagship of the fleet. Looking at the shells that quickly flew away, Miki Ichiro and the officers and soldiers on the flagship were stupid.
As for the little devil officers and sailors who drove in behind, they were also dumbfounded! They never thought that the artillery position that had been plowed just now would still have the ability to counterattack them, and now they were afraid that they would have to pay a heavy price!
