Time passed slowly, the encirclement circle gradually advanced inward, and the large area of normal sea on the periphery was quickly filtered out.

But Mu Feng did not relax his vigilance in these sea areas, and he also had to guard against the situation that the other party suddenly fled outward.

Therefore, a large number of anti-submarine patrol aircraft continue to spread buoy sonar on the surface of the water, and redundant construction robots are placed on the bottom of the sea at the same time.

At the same time, after the circular search area was reduced, there were fewer people who needed to participate directly, and these extra people dispersed their vigilance in the outer sea areas that had already been searched, ready to intercept targets that might escape.

As the search circle continues to advance, the remaining range becomes smaller and smaller, and the speed does not increase, but decreases further.

Because most of the normal sea area inside is filtered out, what remains are islands, coral reefs, shoals, and reefs with complex conditions.

And if nothing else, Yoko Yamato should be hiding in these hard-to-find places.

The search fleet must slow down and scan and filter these places one by one in a more secure and careful way.

From the early hours of the morning, until dawn, the search continued, and there was still no trace of Yoko Yamato.

But everyone was not discouraged, because since there was no discovery outside, then Yoko Yamato must be hiding in the inner place.

Now that the search circle is getting smaller and smaller, the other party may jump off the wall at any time, so from the inside out, everyone is in good spirits and ready to intercept at any time.

As long as the initial information is error-free, it is only a matter of time before the target is found.

And Neptune patted his chest to ensure that his judgment would never go wrong.

…………

I-400 hull, inside the torpedo compartment.

Yi 401 and another deep-sea IJN ship girl threw the deep-sea Lexington on the ground, and the two went to the side torpedo rack to get the empty torpedo shell used for emergency escape, preparing to stuff Lexington into it and tie it to the bomb to detonate according to the plan.

Just as the two of them turned their backs, Lexington, who was lying on the ground, opened his eyes suddenly, and two aerial bombs without tail fins were out of his hands.

Lexington turned on the timing fuse of the bomb and rolled on the ground, and the two bombs slipped to the feet of the two IJN mothers such as the I-401.

Lexington immediately threw himself on the ground beside him, muttering with a gloomy face:

"You have torpedoes, I have bombs, eat me 4,000 pounds of justice!"

"Boom ......"

With a loud bang, the legs of Yi 401 and the two were directly blown off, half of their bodies were blown away, and a pit was left in the pressure-resistant shell underground.

The support structure of a rack for placing torpedoes broke, and three 610-mm torpedoes fell down, mixed together and rolled to the side, fortunately without exploding.

Lexington jumped up and looked back and saw that the torpedo had not exploded.

But in the same way, the bomb in the state of his own ship did not penetrate the pressure hull of the submarine, and he was still in the cabin.

And the alarm inside the cabin has already sounded, and I-400 himself and Yoko Yamato have already reacted, and Yoko Yamato will come over soon.

With an aircraft carrier of his own, it is impossible to be an opponent of Yamato in close combat, and it is too late to think now.

Lexington was furious, and immediately took out a few more bombs, piled them on the side wall of the cabin, activated the fuse, and threw himself on the ground on the other side.

Lexington prayed in his heart that the other torpedoes would not explode, not explode, and that once the torpedo in the underwater hull exploded, the I-400 would certainly die, but he would definitely die before her.

Of course, I don't want to take any risks if I can.

But Yoko Yamato is sure to die by herself now, and she has no other choice but to gamble.

Lexington looks forward to the outcome with the mindset of putting his life on the line.

"Boom, boom...... Boom ......"

There was a violent explosion on the side wall of the torpedo compartment, which shook the entire torpedo compartment like an earthquake.

This time luck was on Lexington's side, the torpedo inside the cabin did not explode, and the pressure-resistant shell of the cabin next to it was finally blown out of a huge gap by several large aerial bombs in Lexington.

The space between the inner shell and the outer shell of the submarine is used to inject water and drain water to control the diving height.

When it surfaced, it was empty.

Yi 400 was already sitting at the bottom, so the space was already filled with water.

After the inner pressure-resistant shell was blown through, the seawater from the outside quickly poured in.

But now only the inner shell has been blown open, the torpedo compartment has been flooded, and the shell of the submarine is still intact, so the speed of the sea water is not like the explosion of the shell, like a fountain.

So Lexington could take out a couple of aviation torpedoes, open the safety and force their way into this watered gap.

Lexington grabbed the structure above the torpedo compartment with both hands, let his body out of the rising water, and then the torpedo exploded underwater.

The gap in the inner shell of the submarine, torpedoed by a torpedo again, entered the water faster, and that gap was enough for people to enter.

Lexington tossed for such a while, and Yoko Yamato outside already knew what was going on through the I-400.

Yoko Yamato angrily rushed to the door of the torpedo compartment:

"Open the door, let me go in and kill this slut!"

But the Yi 400 refused:

"No, the flagship, the torpedo compartment is flooded, and when the door is opened, the water will overflow!"

Yoko Yamato roared loudly:

"It's just another cabin, let me in immediately, we have to kill her, we can't let her toss anymore, we'll be exposed if we go on like this!"

Yi 400 also reacted suddenly, and hurriedly opened the door, and Yoko Yamato immediately rushed in.

All the water injection compartments between the inner shells of the submarine are not connected, but are separated into sections to prevent one compartment from breaking down and preventing the entire submarine from being able to rise and dive.

After such a period of flow, most of the water in the filling tank outside the torpedo compartment has flowed into the torpedo compartment.

The water had reached the height of Lexington's thighs, and the flow had largely stopped.

Lexington watched Yoko Yamato come in, and immediately got through the enlarged opening of the torpedo into the water injection tank between the inner shells of the submarine.

The space inside the submarine is very limited, and Yoko Yamato's ship is huge, and it is almost impossible to move after opening, so she was trying to chase Lexington and drive it again.

Now watching Lexington burrow into that space, he chased after him with a roar again:

"Stop!"

Lexington, of course, would not listen to her, climbed to the top of the inner shell with his hands and feet, and threw three aviation torpedoes on his backhand.

Throwing torpedoes in the state of the Lexington ship mother.,Attacking Yoko Yamato in the state of the ship mother at a very close distance in the water.,The effect is completely normal.。

Yoko Yamato's legs were in sharp pain, her right leg was uncontrollably weak, and she fell to her knees in the water with a cry of pain.
