Episode 120 Give your life to the sea

"Generate electricity for help!" Shi Juanzi, the captain of the Blackfish, shouted, "We can't hold on anymore!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, several people squatted in the steel plate of the bridge, listening to the shrill sound of bullets clanging outside, and then there was a loud "boom", the hull of the boat trembled violently, and the feet suddenly tilted. Several people on the bridge immediately grabbed the handrails and were almost thrown into the sea. Immediately, a large amount of seawater fell on the face, pouring everyone into a soup chicken.

Another bomb exploded next to the submarine.

The damage caused by this dive is not weaker than the last one. The gunner of the rear 20-mm gun, two killed and one wounded, was being carried in and replaced by the alternate gunner.

It was this bomb that really hit the submarine hard. This second bomb was thrown so close that the diesel engine on the other side also stopped. Now the submarine as a whole loses power, and even the two electric motors do not turn. Smoke filled the boat, and the battery pack emitted a strong gas. To make matters worse, the stern sank significantly, lost its power source, and the pumps stopped working.

Two minutes later, one of the planes departed, presumably also damaged by the submarine. Moments later, one of the remaining planes attacked again. Since most of the Blackfish's gunners were killed at this time, and the substitutes were all unskilled novices, the hit rate was very low, and it can be said that they could not hit the Japanese plane. When the Japanese bombers flew over the Blackfish, they fired again and dropped another bomb, which exploded 10 meters on the starboard side of the stern.

The submarine sank even more. At this time, the chief engineer climbed up and reported that the Blackfish would not last long.

Shi Juanzi had no choice at this time. She made a decision that any captain would have made at this point.

"Alright, all the crew get off the boat!"

At the sound of the order, the female soldiers in the boat began to crawl out, some wearing gas masks. A pungent smoke billowed from the cabin. The long hatch on the foredeck was opened, which was used for torpedoes. Now a couple of inflatable rubber rafts were taken out of there, thrown into the water and the air pumps were turned on. Soon, several rubber rafts swelled up and floated around the submarine.

The girls scrambled to climb onto the raft and carry the injured up as well.

At this time, the fourth round of attacks began. The Japanese plane swooped down again with a whizz, slashing its head and face. By this time, the front and rear decks of the submarine had basically sunk into the water, leaving only most of the bridge still exposed. Several rubber rafts were crowded together, and a large group of female soldiers surrounded the rubber rafts, desperately climbing up. Under machine-gun fire, blood splattered everywhere and screams were heart-rending. One rubber raft was shattered, several female soldiers were killed, and a dozen or so female soldiers were left swimming in horror in the bloody water, being pulled up by the people on several other rafts.

Fortunately, the Japanese plane should have run out of bombs by this time. Otherwise, if one more bomb falls on this raft, there will be no survivors.

The Japanese plane finished diving and pulled up. The area around the submarine was already blood-red, and several corpses were floating in the bloody water, crying all around. Captain Shi Juanzi didn't know if Riki was planning to stop, and she didn't know whether Riki wanted to completely sink the submarine or just want to kill people here. She wished it was the former.

Shi Juanzi also burst into tears, but forcibly insisted on shouting:

"Hurry up! Get out of the submarine! Don't huddle together! ”

After shouting a few times, the female soldiers on several rubber rafts began to stop crying and paddled desperately around with wooden pulp, trying to get away from the sinking submarine. There are two reasons, the first is that after the submarine sinks, it will form a whirlpool, which is easy to overturn the raft or suck it into the water. The second is that although the submarine is sinking, it is not clear whether the Japanese pilots plan to stop. For now, he clearly intends to kill them all. Shi Juanzi hopes that his target is only the submarine, not these poor girls who have just climbed into the life raft.

However, she clearly misjudged.

That Japanese bomber dived again. This time, the goal is clear, it is these rubber rafts. Arrow-like bullets screeched past a rubber raft, followed by a heart-rending scream, and the raft began to sink with flesh and blood.

The girls all around were crying loudly, and for a moment they were surrounded by fear and grief. - The opposing sailors have abandoned the life raft on the ship, and they have no ability to resist, and they have to shoot so repeatedly to kill them all, which is simply unheard of for them. What's even more terrifying is that since they have to be wiped out, then their little rafts are destined to be killed.

They cried as they pulled the survivors onto their rafts. Two rafts have already sunk, and at least ten people have been killed. Everyone else was spread across other rafts. Now, each raft is seriously overloaded.

……

Perhaps the Japanese plane lost its interest, flew low and observed, threw down a smoke marker, and finally flew away. The more than 20 surviving female soldiers on the sea hugged each other and cried loudly.

After a few moments, the submarine Blackfish finally sank. The conning tower finally disappeared into the sea, and the sound of a huge air explosion was deafening, and a large whirlpool formed on the surface of the water, and in an instant there was nothing. After a while, all kinds of debris and wreckage floated up, followed by a large slick of oil.

Shi Juanzi looked at the floating smoke canister in the distance and shouted:

"We should get that one in the water! Can't let it smoke anymore! Japanese planes are left to their surface ships to catch us! ”

A group of female soldiers looked at each other. This is, of course, a mark left by the Japanese aircraft to the Japanese surface ships to capture the prisoners. However, before abandoning the ship, a distress signal had been sent out by radio and the specific location was reported. The nearby Ming army submarine will also come to the rescue. This smoke can also provide navigation for Ming submarines.

Shi Juanzi saw everyone's thoughts, and she cried angrily:

"What else do you want? Do you still want the Japanese to 'rescue' us? Do you think they're still human? When they first marched into Manchuria, they were able to kill tens of thousands of Qing prisoners of war, and just now we all abandoned the ship, and the Japanese planes still strafed our lifeboats...... Think about it, what would they do to us if we were captured by them? And do you expect them to treat us according to the Geneva Convention on Prisoners of War? ”

The female soldiers who said a few words were furious, and many of them cried again. They all felt cornered.

Shi Juanzi ordered:

"We draw on the smoke marker and sink the smoke jar into the water to keep it from smoking! We would rather die at sea than let the Japanese find us! ”

She paused, and said:

"Actually, we won't die at sea. We have the highest density of submarines outside Tokyo Bay, and now there are at least several submarines looking for us! As long as we persevere, we will definitely be rescued! The Japanese are prisoners of war, and they won't make much effort to find us! If you can find it, you can find it, and if you can't find it, forget it! Our people will go to great lengths to find us! Rest assured, everyone! We'll be able to go home for sure! ”

When these words came out, the subordinates also felt that this was the truth, and they all copied the wooden oars and rowed towards the smoke mark dozens of meters away. Soon, a life raft rowed next to the smoke canister, and the two female soldiers scooped up the smoke canister at once.

They used knives to dismantle the pontoons of the pipes and threw them into the sea. The smoke canister sank like a stone directly into the sea.

After a few moments, the smoke on the surface of the sea had dissipated.

Now, the hopes of the crew of the Blackfish are pinned on several nearby Ming submarines. They prayed to heaven that the Ming submarines must be the first to discover them before the Japanese discovered them.
