According to Cheng Dayang's calculations, one * can seriously damage such a 20,000-ton aircraft carrier, two may be sunk, and three are safer, so he launched four.

On the one hand, he currently has a lot of money on hand, and on the other hand, he hopes that the enemy ship will sink immediately after being shot, and minimize the number of rescued lives, because it is difficult to guarantee whether anyone will see anything on the deck on the side of the bullet, and he himself has not experienced a few* flying towards him from the fog, so the statement about the high probability of mistaking it for an airplane is still based on imagination.

Of course, in terms of rapid sinking, *is never as good as *, after all, it can allow the ship to flood quickly, and if the location of the explosion is properly controlled, the keel can be broken and the bow or stern of the ship can be cocked. If there were enough * for 419, the entire combined Japanese fleet would not be a problem. He could even take out all the Japanese carriers in a single morning, as long as they came together.

Of course, Shu Ping has evaluated the power of 4 *, and he has assessed it as feasible, almost an endorsement. His calculations focused on how deep the explosion would be able to penetrate and cause maximum effect. Previous examples of this supersonic * target shooting have shown that in half of the cases, a kinetic warhead will penetrate a destroyer-sized hull before it explodes, but it will still cause a fire to destroy the target. But the aircraft carrier is a wide enough target, so this is not possible, the light and thin armor of the Wyvern-class is very suitable for * the delay fuse to explode in the middle position, and the probability of detonating the main ammunition depot under the deck of the aircraft carrier with a single shot is up to 75%, let alone 4 rounds, so it is unlikely that there will be anything left alive, regardless of which side of the ship is on duty. As for the time for the aircraft carrier to sink, he estimated that it would be 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the speed of the fire, there is a high probability of capsizing, which will be faster, or it may sink slowly. This has to do with the design of the aircraft carrier itself, and has nothing to do with the ship's damage management, and he does not think that there will be any effective damage management.

Everything was as he designed, and the aircraft carrier Canglong exploded one after another in 15 seconds, and before the last one* arrived, even the internal explosion caused by the first* had already begun. The explosion puffed up the deck from top to bottom, and flames erupted from below, and these carriers had only two priorities in the design of their defenses, one of which considered top-down, projected by dive aircraft*, and the other on armor and compartments for defense* below the waterline. Valuable weight was used in these areas, and the ammunition depots, which also avoided vulnerable areas as much as possible, were set up on the axis close to the elevators, under the second deck.

Explosions came and went, and the drone detected that the aircraft carrier was rapidly slowing down and that it was rapidly sinking. And nearby destroyers are rapidly approaching. The captain of the destroyer soon discovered that the proximity of the water jet was obviously looking for death, and that the aircraft carrier had been reduced to a burning coffin, and that there was not a single struggling person in sight on the nearby sea. They have never seen such a situation, usually it takes a while for a warship to be hit by a submarine *, not to mention the light * dropped by an aircraft, unless it is a direct hit of 1600 pounds * dropped by a US aircraft, but no aircraft is found approaching at all.

Yamaguchi on the Wyvern, six kilometers behind, was called up by his subordinates and rushed to the command cabin.

When he stepped inside, he realized the seriousness of the situation, and through the thick fog, he saw the fire in front of him. There is no doubt that this was an attack. He didn't know how the enemy attacked through the dense fog, maybe it hit a floating mine laid by the Americans, so it can only be said that the enemy's shit luck is incomprehensible, this is not the main channel of the strait, how is this possible? Another possibility is that a submarine occupies the western position, so that the eastern glow can be used to see the target at sea level, but it should not be on such a foggy day.

Without thinking about other possibilities, he first ordered the aircraft carrier to immediately and quickly turn around and change course, regardless of whether it might collide with the cruiser Haguro behind. His assessment of the risk was correct, perhaps more than one enemy submarine, then maintaining the same course speed, obviously easily rammed *, must be evaded by some active means, at least so that the enemy cannot aim. When the aircraft carrier made a sharp turn, he remembered that the Germans were engaged in a new radar wave targeting method, with a ranging accuracy even higher than that of a 15-meter rangefinder, which could support submarines or warships to launch attacks in such weather, but the Germans were not so upright and had been concealing their technology. Someone asked if the radio would silently send a signal to the fleet to turn around, and he hesitated and agreed.

Before the drone began to land, the last detection situation, the enemy aircraft carrier had begun to sink, which was consistent with the water ingress and compartment fracture detected by the sonar, and the sonar further found that the two destroyers were wandering around the noisy sunken ship, not like a rescuer, more like a search, maybe they couldn't find a living person at all.

Now Cheng Dayang is facing the next problem, the US P38 plane, which is fanning out to reconnoitre, is approaching.

His submarine is currently in the gap between two P38s, maybe the enemy will not detect the submarine hiding in the dark sea at dawn, but the drone has run out of fuel and entered the landing procedure, and that plane is too light in color to hide in the sea.

The radar showed that the US plane suddenly turned and headed towards the Japanese 2nd Air Battle, which made him greatly relieved. Apparently, the electronic listening stations set up by the Americans on the nearby islands were extremely efficient, and they quickly discovered the Japanese fleet message and measured the bearing, which was a small surprise that allowed him to calmly recover the drone.

In Lashio, Lin Xiuxuan followed the headquarters of the 58th Division to Songshan. He couldn't get out now, but for the time being, it seemed that no one could endanger him appeared, there were no military commanders nearby or 96th Division personnel who might point out that they were impostors, and the only threat came from a sharpshooter.

The guards of the 58th Division beat the captured personnel half to death, and finally pry the information out of their mouths, and the captured people confessed that they were dozens of people in their group, and the ones who were killed were all the peripheral cover groups, and it was their other team that fired the black guns just now, all of them had just returned from the Japanese Nakano School, and the guns used were 7.7 mm rifles with scopes. These people don't like to talk, so I don't know where they go. The traitors from all walks of life who infiltrated were all under the command of Oda Heirang Shaosa, and they did not know each other, only knew that there were Mei organs and the Tohihara system, as well as those from Taiwan, and they did not take the initiative to cooperate with each other, and they all listened to the dispatch of the Japanese.

Zhang Lingfu welcomed the retreat to Songshan, and it happened that another engineer captain could do chores for him, and he could help build some facilities, take people to cut down trees to build fortifications, and blow up a bridge.

However, Lin Xiuxuan had other plans, he wanted to quickly contact the US military to establish the method and location of the airdrop, and he wanted to establish a guerrilla zone in the vast mountainous area west of the Nu River, so that he could contain the large number of Japanese troops in Burma and prevent them from attacking India. In addition, as long as he has access to communication equipment, he can send a code through the radio, so that Ma Qiang and Xu Chong can find this place. He noticed that there was a communications unit in the team, so he followed quietly.

Before sunrise, they galloped 50 miles to the west of Songshan, and further east was the blown up Huitong Bridge, where a large number of refugees were blocked on this side of the river, and it was not known how many Japanese spies were hidden in it.

A large group of them, both cavalry and trucks, got off the road and turned to Songshan under the noses of thousands of refugees, thinking that if the enemy had any intentions, they should have discovered that the Chinese army had the intention of operating again.

The Japanese did not know Luo Zhuoying's order for the troops to cross the river and flee to the east of the river, otherwise they would die laughing in bed, so they must have some means to prevent the Chinese army from gaining a foothold in this heaven-made mountainous area. Lin Xiuxuan didn't know what the specific means were, he only knew that in the old history, the Japanese even relied on a surprise attack to occupy the Huitong Bridge that had been buried*, and it was impossible without intelligence work.

Now that the Huitong Bridge has been blown up, where will these manpower turn? He estimated that the Chinese army was currently about a day ahead in time, but it was obviously inferior to the Japanese in advance preparations, otherwise Luo Zhuoying would not have issued such an unbelievable order. In addition, he also noticed that Zhang Lingfu was also absent-minded about controlling Songshan, thinking that it was natural to retreat and defend here, and did not think that many details needed to be dealt with in advance, otherwise even if there was a natural danger, it might not be able to stand, it seemed that he still had to take risks, stay a few more days, and fight for him.

Qin Xiaosu immediately intercepted the report of the Japanese army agent to the southern organs, and the telegram was sent through the Type 94 small radio, mentioning that the Chinese army had noticed the Songshan area and seemed to have plans to entrench itself in this area for a long time.

Subsequently, the Yugoslav authorities sent a telegram to the headquarters of the 15 th Army also mentioned that a day earlier, a US liaison plane had been shot down on the outskirts of Lashio, and a liaison officer had died. In addition, there is a construction drawing for the construction of a temporary airdrop area, which does not indicate the location, but from the perspective of some buildings and temples that need to be demolished, it may be site A. Obviously, the Japanese did reconnaissance of some important nodes in advance, and also took code names, so for a while it was impossible to figure out which place they were talking about.

Qin Xiaosu quickly conveyed the situation to Xu Chong, but Xu Chong said that he could not contact the team leader, and the team leader's life and death were currently unknown, and it seemed that it was too late to care about other things.

Lin Xiuxuan did not have any information, he suggested to the commander of the guard company to go to Dehong Luxi (Mangshi) immediately, he knew that it was the only flat land in the mountains, and if it was controlled in advance, the airdrop would become very convenient, and in time, it might even be possible to build an airstrip there to facilitate the establishment of a solid defense area west of the Nu River. Therefore, the Songshan defense area he envisioned must include Mangshi and be centered on that.

Of course, the commander of the guard company had no opinion, because Zhang Shizuo did not mention any location, but just asked Captain Lin to survey it, find a few headquarters locations, and give him a report, and it was up to him to decide, and no captain under him dared to make his own decisions, so he didn't bother to think that anyone would do this.

Lin Xiuxuan suggested that the guard company immediately disperse to guard the surrounding high ground, and then let the communication company call Stilwell command directly, he knew that this would bypass Du Yuming and postpone his exposure. The U.S. side really responded, and he asked the U.S. military to immediately airdrop supplies to establish the determination of the defenders. The cable, which he drew up himself, used the words "to establish determination," as if to blackmail the Americans into doing it themselves.

Four hours later, when Zhang Lingfu of Lashio had just learned that the engineer captain of the 96th Division had disobeyed his orders and had not gone to survey the location of the headquarters, he had actually demarcated a defensive line and established an airdrop zone, and he drew out his Browning pistol and prepared to hand it over to his subordinates to take to carry out military law. American transport planes were seen flying low over the mountains and dropping parachutes far away. This was the first time he had seen airdrops, and he had only seen transport planes deliver mail before.
