"Do you mean to use *? No, no, no, I thought about it, it wouldn't work, there would be a couple of enemy ships escorting, and if they sighted*, they would expose us, and launch *the same occupied* tube, but not as powerful*. ”

Shu Ping continued to laugh without saying a word.

“…… If you want to say that if you drop a bomb with a drone, the ammunition depot is indeed located under the 203 main gun in front and behind, but ours * cannot penetrate the armor above the turret, albeit thin, only 7 cm, and even a small * of 100 kg can penetrate it, a time-delay fuse is needed. Then again, Izumo's ammunition depot exploded, so it might not work. Somebody will escape. ”

"Do you know what's under Izumo's three chimneys?"

"Of course I know, although we don't have the drawings, but common sense that there are boilers and coal storage warehouses, flanked by ventilation pipes and the cabins of sailors and officers, and it is certainly not a vital matter."

"When I was at the shipyard, I had a closer look at Izumo. Its high-pressure ventilation pipes surround the three chimneys, a total of 12 of them, each about 1.5 meters in diameter. Some of them lead to boilers, some lead to living quarters, and although there are no drawings, it is possible to predict the source of the pipe wiring, all from here. ”

"So ......"

"Throwing an ordinary* from its No. 1 chimney caused an explosion in the boiler room and dust from the coal dust, as well as destroying the high-pressure ventilation equipment and tearing the ventilation pipe. Then throw a 100-kilogram cloudburst bomb from the nearby No. 2 or No. 3 chimney, and I promise that the fuel itself and the refined coal dust raised will form a super-large air* and solve all your problems once and for all. ”

"Cloudburst bombs? Is it feasible? ”

"If you think of a closed warship as an underground fortification that also relies on ventilation to breathe, it's obvious that the killing effect will be very good. Let's take a look at the structure of Izumo. Shu Ping said as he pulled the drawings at hand of the ocean, "The structure of the superstructure of Izumo is simple, and in fact, the internal volume of this ship is not large. Exploding in its center and burning continuously, creating an area of negative pressure inside the enclosed area. Through these internally connected ventilation tunnels, air from the rest of the area that could not be reached by the power of the explosion can be sucked away and consumed, creating an oxygen-deficient zone throughout the superstructure and below the deck, which will take several minutes. There is only one watertight compartment left, which may be cut off, and the gun units on the deck or the naturally ventilated area near the bridge headquarters may still have a chance of survival, and there is still a good chance that this option could detonate the ammunition depot. ”

"Well, that makes sense."

"Of course, you'll have to fire enough to sink Izumo* at the same time to wipe out the possible survivors in the compartment below deck, but there's no longer a big limit to the sinking time, so there's no more tangled in your head. At that time, you can stop at periscope depth, and through the drone signal, observe the entire sinking process and determine whether a lifeboat has been launched. ”

"But there is still the possibility that someone will escape."

"If we reveal our whereabouts a little before the attack and let the enemy raise the alarm, guess what? Deck crews will be minimized, and all access hatches in the superstructure will be left open to increase the speed of movement. All of this is good for the air* to unleash its power. And those irrelevant boarders will definitely not run to the narrow bridge to get in the way, and will definitely hide behind the armor. Although I can't say it too much, according to my estimates, there is a nine-in-ten chance that none of them will survive. ”

"yes, that's a foolproof solution. I said, Chief, if it weren't for you, I would have come up with such a vicious solution. ”

Lin Xiuxuan then got a communication from 419, and this time he completely determined the identity of the opponent behind the scenes, and sure enough, it was Kagesa and Kinoshita.

Judging from the communication records, the two of them are certainly confused, but they are much more sober than the other high-ranking Japanese soldiers who are confused and rushing around.

Kagesa mentioned himself in the conversation, which made his feelings quite complicated, first of all, of course, the danger signal of the enemy's approach, and secondly, he was also quite proud, he was able to get ahead of Kagesa everywhere, of course, it was based on absolute reconnaissance superiority, but being able to hear Kagesa say that he was ashamed (whether he was true or not) also made him feel very comfortable.

He hadn't been more complacent since landing. Whether it is the embarrassment when being pursued closely by Ying Zuo, or the chagrin of leaking great cowardice in front of the seniors, or the various stings of Cheng Dayang, you can be relieved at this moment. Of course, he had experienced too much to forget the danger imposed by the enemy. Despite his technical advantages, there were two near-capsized boats in the gutter, the one in which Ma Qiang was captured was almost fatal. At that time, the risk caused by self-defeating was even far higher than that of the Japanese traversers; In fact, there is still a certain possibility that those who travel through time travel will die in a prison or a mental hospital in Japan, and they will not be able to explain their origins. And Ma Qiang fell into the hands of the gendarmerie, but directly alarmed the most dangerous and cunning enemy, so that the enemy was only separated by a layer of paper at a certain moment from 419.

But now the situation is about to flip around, and Shadow Sazhen Showa and the three traversers have unknowingly embarked on the point of no return, and within a few days, all the problems will be solved once and for all.

Of course, after carefully studying Sato's formula, Shuping came to an incomprehensible conclusion: if this formula is true, then once the historical confusion begins, it is destined that there will not be a one-size-fits-all solution, and the effect will act in an unpredictable way, from both positive and negative aspects, like water in a bottle.

At noon, the drone observed that the destroyer Xiyun, which was going down the river from Nanjing, had finally arrived, but it did not set sail, and it seemed that it would have to wait for other warships. It seems that the deployment with the command of the Third Fleet has changed again. Lin realized that perhaps because he had turned the world upside down in Shanghai, the enemy had changed his plans, and he could not predict how the enemy would respond, so he had to watch carefully.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Qingshan and Xu Chong bypassed the sight of the enemy's puppet army and continued to advance with difficulty in the wilderness. They felt that they had gone around too much and wasted their time, because in the whole morning, they did not find the puppet army going out to exercise, or sending people to patrol the surroundings, only to see these people shirtless under the eaves of the cool and eating watermelon, completely like a group of rabble. But Lin Xiuxuan felt that there could be no mistakes at the last moment, and it was better to let them run more often.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, 419 intercepted another telegram from the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, and the light inspector Nagashi and the destroyer Qifeng were approaching in the waters of Zhejiang, and the above two ships would join the Izumo formation near the mouth of the sea in four hours. To some extent, the military value of the Izumo, which is getting slower and slower, is far less than its symbolism, which is also a part that the Japanese Navy cannot let go.

The "unsinkable Izumo" has certainly become a spiritual totem of Japan's undefeated myth of suppressing China and its teeth and claws, but it has also become a shackle that restricts its hands and feet, because one day, it really sinks, and this is the bankruptcy of the myth, the real fatal thing.

After receiving the telegram, the Izumo pulled anchor and set sail and began to slowly sail towards the mouth of the Yangtze River. Then the drone began to receive the telegram exchange between Izumo and Nagara, which was different from what had been observed in Hangzhou Bay before, and the Third Fleet actually began to use a standardized cipher to encrypt the message, of course, No. 419 almost synchronized its speed, deciphered everything, obtained the enemy's approximate course, and the two Osa of Nagara and Izumo discussed some deductions of the anti-submarine formation.

On 419, the pipe replacement at Shuping has been completed, and he began a second inspection, according to the plan, by 6 p.m., he will conduct a total of four inspections to finally decide whether it can be restarted.

At the same time, the personnel on the boat, who had nothing to do with the power department, began to move to the island so as not to get in the way. In the telegraph room, only 2 people were still tracking the communications of the enemy fleet, and they had also received Shu Ping's ultimatum to get out of the house within an hour.

The serious failure of the 419 that day actually damaged less than two percent of the entire pipeline system, but unlike other powered ships, two percent of the damage to the nuclear submarine did not only cause a few percent of the pressure or power loss, and there was no superfluous choice but to stop the reactor. Now Shuping has to add dozens of tons of additional shielding to make up for it, in addition to replacing the leaking steam pipes and strengthening the parts that cannot be detected and may be problematic. For a month, 419 relied on additional fuel to drive the cooling pumps, taking away the decay heat from the reactor, and would have been almost unsustainable if it hadn't been for the arrival of the first batch of diesel. Now things are under maximum control, and of course as a rule of thumb, the core is the most taboo, and even if it restarts, it will at least have a negative impact on the power, to what extent is not yet known.

At 5 p.m., 419 received the last telegram from Izumo, stating that a transport boat would be dispatched to the open water ahead to pick up six special police officers from the Yugumo to the Izumo. At the same time, before the reactor was restarted, the drones, which had to return home, had already flown over Pudong and approached Hangzhou Bay, and the main communications surveillance of the enemy fleet had come to an end.

Immediately, the communication unit withdrew from the submarine, and they erected antennas on the top of Tanhu Island, which could still maintain short-wave contact with Lin Xiuxuan, but the information capability of 419, at this moment, was only that.

Inside the Izumo, the suspicious Kagesa Akira slowly walked through a dark and narrow passage and entered the special detention cabin.

A cook pushed open the front hatch and escaped like a plague, and then he heard someone scolding, and it was not Makino who heard the voice, but the guy named Asano, who was losing his temper at this time, probably because Captain Sasaki had arranged such a guarded cabin, and he felt that it was too depressing.

Kagesa Zhenzhao used his influence to specially transfer a psychiatrist from the army hospital to interpret the neurological conditions of the three people. He also remembered the concluding part of the report about the symptoms of the three men.

Like many delusional psychoses, Makino seems to be the deepest and most silent, but in fact he is the most delusional, weaving a self-contained worldview, instilling it in the other two in the group, and then getting a high degree of cooperation from them.
