Tang Junyao is the first batch of students to graduate from the Maritime College of the three eastern provinces, compared with the famous lecture martial arts, the maritime academy seems to be a little obscure, and the number of students is only one-fifteenth of the lecture martial arts.

But those who really know the inside story know that the average quality of students in the Maritime College is absolutely second to none, and if you want to enter the Maritime College, you need to graduate from at least key high schools, including many college students, and a group of descendants of overseas Chinese. The quality of students is one thing, and the content to be learned is also very strict, and there are countless practical assessments.

Tang Junyao stood out among these students and became the first batch of captains, which is quite remarkable. He had already commanded several drill operations and had also secretly approached Lushun.

However, this time it was completely different from the previous feeling, this was a real battlefield of life and death, and if there was a little mistake, it would mean that dozens of people on the boat could die at any time, so he was extremely cautious.

After the successful mine-laying, they temporarily retreated to a safe place, seize the time to recharge the submarine, and may encounter the enemy at any time, if they can't dive quickly under the water at that time, the submarine with weak defense ability, poor firepower, and slow speed will become a live target, as long as one shell, it is enough to make the submarine finish, so it is necessary to maintain a high degree of vigilance.

Gradually, after about two hours, the submarine was full of electricity, and the people on the boat gradually became emotional, although they went deep into the tiger's den, the danger was abnormal, but this kind of stimulation was also indescribable. Isn't the day when they have been training hard for years just to make a contribution?

The soldiers were silently praying, hoping that the Japanese would rush out and crash into the mines. Hard-working people, the sky does not live up, just when the soldiers are looking forward to it. A large number of lights appeared in the Japanese military port, far away. It seems that some noise can be heard. Tang Junyao immediately thought of it, afraid that the Japanese were going to act.

"Dive all and keep an eye on the enemy's every move through the periscope."

All three submarines silently dived into the water, and the Japanese were completely crazy at this time, especially when they heard the news that the King Kong had been sunk, they were all furious and unbelievable.

How could such a powerful battleship sink, no one can figure out what is going on, but the strict orders of the superiors will definitely not be wrong. So they had to stop the Mackensen. In Port Arthur, all the warships were mobilized, and the port suddenly became lively.

As a destroyer sailed out of port, everyone's hearts were already in their throats, and the air was already scorched. Each sailor clenched his fists, and the three loaders and firing men in the torpedo compartment looked at the pressure gauge for a moment. Look at the snorkel valve in a moment. Zuihou simply picked up a rag and wiped the torpedo tube up and down to make it shiny.

Tang Junyao was inevitably like this, all the pressure fell on his shoulders, and no matter how much training he underwent in ordinary times, he couldn't compare it to a formal battle.

There is no soldier who has experienced war for the first time who is not nervous, especially in this kind of important battle, how to resolve it is the key. Fortunately, Germany is very experienced in this area. The sailors, who had been training with the Germans for almost a year, also learned to relieve their tense nerves with busyness and work.

In the midst of torment and anticipation, Tang Junyao's eyes slowly showed a look of joy, the Japanese warship finally entered the mine array, can it block Port Arthur. Whether or not the Japanese can retreat in the face of difficulties depends on success or failure.

Although the sailors gathered next to them did not know the situation outside, their hearts were also silently waiting, looking forward to the arrival of victory.

The first Japanese destroyer had already entered the mine array, and it was impossible for it to touch the torpedo with a draft of less than two meters, so it was understandable that there was no sound of explosion. But then an incomparably large battleship also sailed away from Port Arthur and rushed out.

This warship is the fourth ship of the Kongo-class, the battleship Kirishima, compared to the British-built Kongo, this battleship has more improvements and is more powerful. Since there were more and more contradictions between the Feng army and the Japanese, in order to deter the Feng army, the Japanese sent their main warships in shifts to station at the mouth of Arthur to put pressure on the Feng army.

Tang Junyao still didn't know that the King Kong had sunk, he only hoped that the Kirishima would hit the top of the mine array, as long as the battleship of more than 30,000 tons was blown up and sunk, the Japanese would be in pain and unbearable.

But that's what I want, to make the Japanese hurt, to make them crazy, and to let them die!

Tang Junyao's heart was full of anticipation, but the Kirishima did not hit the mine, nor did it make the expected explosion. Tang Junyao suddenly had an unpleasant thought, the Japanese warships were all lined up in a line, driving in strict accordance with the route opened up, and the waves brought up by the propellers of the destroyers in front could roll out the one-ton anchor mines for several meters.

With the destroyers out of the way, the Kirishima may be able to avoid all the mines. Seeing that the destroyer had sailed out of the mine array, Tang Junyao was a little disappointed, could it be that the Japanese were really so lucky? The waves of water from the destroyer's propeller will push aside all the mines in the fairway?

Time was running out, and the Kirishima had already entered the mine array, and in the middle of the line, the expected explosion still did not appear. It seems that today's luck is not on his side, and Tang Junyao, who is not in a good position, is very angry and depressed.

However, he also knew that the time had come to take action, and the Japanese must not be allowed to leave the port safely. Otherwise, the entire operation of the Feng army will be destroyed, although it is very dangerous to launch an attack without chaos, but there is no choice, when necessary, he can only sacrifice his own three submarines, he only hopes to be able to sink the Kirishima so that even if he dies, it is worth it.

Tang Junyao calmly ordered: "The speed is 6 knots, the course is 11 o'clock, and the torpedo compartment is ready to ......." ”

Just when Tang Junyao had not yet said two words, a violent explosion that suddenly sounded, and a thunderous sound suddenly came, and all the soldiers in the submarine were shocked, and everyone frantically rushed to the periscope.

Even though it had been waiting for a long time, after the sudden sound, everyone was still a little stunned. Tang Junyao subconsciously put his eyes on the observation mirror quickly, and the picture in the distance suddenly pierced his eyeballs! A strong burst of fire rose into the air, and a sun instantly appeared on the sea.

When the Kirishima was about to sail out of the mine array, the bow of the ship suddenly hit a mine, and the violent explosion tore a hideous wound on the bow of the ship in an instant, and many sailors on the deck who were caught off guard were thrown directly into the sea by this violent turbulence, and the billowing smoke and fire continued to devour the rest of the Japanese soldiers.

Waters poured in from the bow of the Kirishima in a steady stream, and the flames and explosions enveloped the huge warship, making the Kirishima the most striking symbol on the water.

A one-ton mine is enough to fill 450 kilograms of high explosives! More violent than any aerial bomb, and it exploded in the sea, the power was even more incalculable, and it could easily knock through the heavy armor defense of the battleship.

Even in later generations, mines were a cheap and effective weapon, and even had the name of the poor man's atomic bomb.

The cost of a mine is tens of dollars or hundreds of dollars, while a large warship can easily cost millions or tens of millions.

"Mines, there must be mines here!" Among the Japanese Navy, there were many excellent commanders who had experienced the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle and the Russo-Japanese Naval War, and they instantly realized that they had struck a mine, and only a mine could cause such great damage.

Seeing the battleship Kirishima sink into the water, the hearts of all the Japanese were broken, this is their pride, how can it be sunk!

The other warships came to the rescue in spite of the fact that they tried to save the Kirishima, and in the midst of this chaos, suddenly several waves rushed in the water.

"It's a torpedo, damn it, the people sent the submarine!"

The Japanese shouted desperately, this place had just left the port, the water was not wide enough, and it was very difficult to dodge torpedoes.

Tang Junyao and the others shot a total of six torpedoes, which pounced from different directions, and the Japanese kept shouting: "Left full rudder, hurry up, dodge the torpedoes!" ”

A Japanese destroyer dodged a torpedo, but was hit by a second one, which instantly caught fire and exploded, and the other, although lucky, dodged the two torpedoes fired at it, but hit a mine, which was more powerful than the torpedo, and sent the warship out of the sea at once, and then fell the sea, and the whole hull was flipped on its side in a violent shock, and all the Japanese on board were thrown into the sea.

The other two torpedoes passed through the Japanese fleet and hit the Kirishima just in time, and the Kirishima, which was already heavily damaged and was about to sink, was fatally attacked, and there was simply no way to survive. The boiler was detonated, and the huge battleship was shrouded in flames. The flames soared, and the people on board enjoyed the rare double heaven of ice and fire, and then sank incorrigibly.

Seeing that the Kirishima was finished, these Japanese soldiers had gone crazy, and all the surviving warships rushed in the direction of the submarine, and the guns and guns were all aimed at them, no matter what they had, they all hit them with their heads and faces.

Tang Junyao hurriedly ordered the submarine to dive and dodge, listening to the crackling explosion, they were both nervous and excited at the same time, Tang Junyao could even think of the appearance of the Japanese being demoralized, and when he thought of this, a smug smile appeared on his face.

All three submarines sank into the water, with the cover of night, and the sea was relatively turbid, there was no trace of the submarine, but the Japanese were still searching, patrol boats, destroyers like pulling nets, found a little wind and grass, it was a cannonball, they were indeed mad, vowed to catch the despicable sneak attackers.

They were busy for most of the night, but Zuihou still found nothing, and the fleet commander sent a report to Tokyo with a sad face: The Kirishima has sunk!

In one day, two large capital battleships sank one after another, and for the Japanese, this stick was a little too painful, and they were dizzy! (To be continued......)
