Kagesa walked from the port side to the starboard side with his hands behind his back and saw the minesweeper Wakamo doing a search around Izumo.

Since the 128 Incident in 1932, this miraculous warship has been used as a symbol of the Japanese Navy and a target for the Chinese military to get rid of. Izumo has been hit several times by bombs, twice by brave Chinese pilots (once with a nearby destroyer), and as many as four times by boats; Could it be that they have changed their tricks this time?

Reason asked Kagezo to deny this nonsense assumption, after all, he was born in the artillery department, and he had a lot of common sense about firearms, and it was not easy to slip into absurd imaginations, but he racked his brains to figure out the purpose of Izumo Jiu's hiding near Izumo, but he couldn't think of any other reasonable result besides that possibility.

Kagesa had already gotten into the horns of the bull without realizing it, which was an easy mistake to make as an intelligence analyst, and in fact, all the purposes for which the 419 task force infiltrated the Mahler shipyard did not include Izumo; Lin Xiuxuan's eyes now fell on the Izumo, but only for the three Japanese traversers, not for the sinking of the old ship itself, which was produced before the First World War.

"Sir, there's your wireless call in the telegraph room."

A staff officer of the lieutenant in the communications room came over and saluted the major general, perhaps because there was a new development on Kinoshita's side.

When Kagezo followed the lieutenant past the 203mm main gun, he patted the heavy turret hard, and then drilled into the upper compartment covered by thick armor, of course, the safety of this warship does not come entirely from the steel plates, in fact, in the officer's cafeteria of this ship, there is also a small shrine, dedicated to the main god of the great country invited by the Izumo Taisha in Shimane Prefecture, as the god of the frigate. Traditionally, every Japanese warship has its own shrine and protector, but not every one of them is so conscientious and reliable.

Qin Xiaosu was on duty in the translation room, and only heard a relatively valuable piece of information throughout the night, and the Japanese army finally mastered the new name of the Meteor after changing its name, which was 16 hours later than Lin Xiuxuan's expectations.

In the following hours, it was all worthless information, nothing more than the fact that the ships reported their positions and the reconnaissance planes reported, and there was no found message, and after the Japanese reconnaissance planes took off in the early morning, they chased them to the open sea, and it seemed that they searched according to the most reasonable speculation, and they believed that the Meteor had fled far away from the East China Sea, and it was deduced from this line of thought that the final destination of the Meteor could only be the Philippines, which might further mislead the enemy.

The boredom of waiting finally got the result, and suddenly there was a ticking sound on the terminal display. This time it was a strange display, not the usual intercepted message, but a drone specializing in reconnaissance Izumo, which intercepted a voice communication. In this era, voice communication via radio cannot be encrypted, and the distance is very close, of course, for the listening party, the timely monitoring of this communication is also very difficult, because it is impossible to use a computer to directly decipher the text, and someone who needs to be good at Japanese listening and translation is on the job at any time, which is not possible for 419, of course, there is an exception, that is, after comparing with the voiceprint features in the 419 database, it is displayed as a special object.

Lin Xiuxuan was in the Special City Hall Building, in addition to hearing that Kagesa was preparing to return to Japan on the Izumo with three special prisoners, he also successfully recorded the voice signature of Kagesa Zhenzhao, and now the voice of this primary target has appeared, and it is on Izumo.

Qin Xiaosu hurriedly started recording, and found someone to wake up the sleeping deputy captain. Due to his professional relationship, Qin Xiaosu is proficient in various written languages, and studying languages is of course necessary for training in deciphering codes, but he cannot do listening and translating.

When Chu Aiyun went to the translation room in a daze and put on the headphones, the conversation between Kagesa and Kinoshita was not over yet.

“…… Your Excellency, the gendarmerie has launched a search for the factory workers, but there is no big gain, this Lin Jiu has already repatriated the workers a week ago, and a trade union member named Ma Boliang has distributed some of the repatriation money, this Ma Boliang has been on the list of dangerous elements of the gendarmerie, and has now absconded. ”

"They acted so carefully that they dismissed the workers ahead of schedule?" The voice of Ying Zuo appeared over there, and Chu Aiyun quickly listened to the translation and recorded this part on paper.

“…… Things can be done to such a dimetic degree, this Lin Jiu is too clever, I sigh to myself. ”

“…… He's got a head start at every turn, and I really doubt we have someone inside of them. ”

"Hehe, Lin will like this part." Chu Aiyun smiled and recorded Ying Zuo's original words.

"Your Excellency, I always feel that regarding this Lin Jiu, since Makino-kun is by your side, you might as well ask him, maybe he will have some special opinions."

Chu Aiyun couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, it seems that the enemy has begun to make associations in this regard, not all Japanese troops are tendons. Of course, it can be determined that Makino and Kagesa are both on Izumo, and it is indeed a huge gain.

"I've also been thinking about it to see what he's going to say in particular, and after boarding the ship in the morning, I noticed that he hasn't said a word. The other two guys had been noisy all the time, and he was the only one who was surprisingly calm to get out on deck for some fresh air. ”

"Another thing is that Iwata, the captain of the Ishigaki, confirmed that he had seen the Meteor near Fuxing Island the night before, and that the ship had changed its name to the French ship and called the Thermidori. The Navy has updated the intelligence. The four reconnaissance planes that were able to take off in the morning had already taken off and launched fan-shaped reconnaissance toward the East China Sea. ”

"It's too late, according to the speed of this ship, it has escaped from Wusongkou for more than a day, and it has already run far away at this moment, and there are only 4 fake reconnaissance planes, and most of the area will be missed at the far end...... I always feel that I have a trick with this Lin Jiu, and my luck is always on his side. ”

"I also feel this point, every time he is like a god, I even feel that his eyes and ears are everywhere, and he is always aware of our intentions."

"Speaking of which, I suddenly remembered one thing, we can't have a problem with our communication, right?"

Kagesa's tone became wary.

"It's hard to say. When attacking the headquarters, they were the first to blow up the underground communication cables, which shows that they are experienced professional saboteurs, and it cannot be ruled out that there will be some technical means. ”

"Okay, I see."

The call was interrupted very abruptly, and Kagesa seemed to be worried about the security of the communication. This guy is extremely sensitive, but this call, everything that should be leaked has been missed, now it depends on whether 419 can be repaired in time, and whether Cheng Dayang can use appropriate tactics to destroy this enemy ship in one fell swoop in the open sea.

Of course, this is not just a matter of luck, the accuracy of modern* attacks has allowed these tactical requirements to be added when attacking, but the power has not changed substantially. 419's main need at present is to destroy everyone on board, and the three traversers can survive the last shipwreck, which shows that the water is good.

For the above tactical purposes, of course, the ship should not be allowed to sink slowly in a few hours, then many people will inevitably escape.

There is a plan that seems to work, find the weak zone of the enemy's ship's bottom, concentrate all the explosive energy, blow up a large gap in one fell swoop, and break the keel, so that as much seawater as possible will pour into the hull at the first time, accelerating the sinking of the warship, which will make a negative pressure area near the shipwreck, and produce a strong vortex, which will roll the positive buoyant human body and even the lifeboat into the bottom of the sea. Once this situation is achieved, it can devour all the people who stay in this area, just like the previous attack on the Kawauchi, but the Izumo has a lightning belt below the waterline, although it is not very thick, but it also gives Cheng Dayang and Chu Aiyun a problem that cannot be bypassed, and there is also a nearby sea surface that needs to be considered, there will be one or two destroyers, which may be rescued at any time.

419 is currently facing the double pressure of destroying the enemy and insufficient weapons, and to a certain extent, saving every * or * is also an important task.

Chu Aiyun listened to all the calls again, and then uploaded the information to Lin Xiuxuan, who was far away at the mouth of the Yangtze River. After completing all this, he returned to the cabin to make up for sleep, he had already submitted to Cheng Dayang a plan to use enough * to completely annihilate the Izumo fleet, whether it could be passed by him was not sure, it seemed that Cheng Dayang was inclined to attack Izumo with only one, and now it was still in the process of being solved.

With destroyers accompanying the Izumo formation, this made the task quite more complicated, either firing as many * as possible and destroying those thousand-ton destroyers at the same time, and then surfaced and let the surface team reshoot the survivors; Either shoot these excess* directly at Izumo and let it sink in 3 minutes, other than that, Chu Aiyun can't think of any other feasible way. As far as he knew, Lin Xiuxuan and Cheng Dayang were not in favor of sinking the destroyers accompanying them, because firing from the same position and sinking multiple enemy ships would easily expose the firepower of the 419 (even if the enemy did not have time to send a report, it could be inferred from the fact that the fleet had disappeared).

The so-called wolf pack tactics may still be feasible to deal with dense and low-speed merchant fleets, but it is another matter to deal with loose but high-speed warship formations.

Shu Ping began his equipment installation work early in the morning, first using the Meteor's crane to unload the segmented equipment from the rear deck loading port of 419, and then began installation and reinforcement work. Throughout the project, he was on site at any time to monitor changes in the level of ion radiation. After all the spare parts are completed, it is also necessary to carry out borax cement sealing in some secondary areas, which adds a lot of dead weight and will inevitably change the center of gravity of the submarine, so he needs to return to the command cabin and re-set the balance of the water tank.

When he walked into the hatch, he saw Cheng Dayang burying his head there in a bitter battle plan, and Chu Aiyun's plan to sink the enemy's entire formation at the same time was undoubtedly a straight lazy idea. However, Cheng Dayang could not find the best solution among various demanding needs. The situation was completely different from the attack on the unarmored Kawauchi Light Patrol that day, and the 180 mm thick mine armor added too many variables, is it really feasible to have 3 * ... Or 4 pieces can guarantee a quick sink? Judging from the record of the attack on Izumo by the Electric Thunder School, this 10,000-ton giant ship is still quite resistant to beating. Cheng Dayang's previous strange needs did cause a lot of problems for Lin, and now Lin Xiuxuan's request to kill people and destroy his mouth in turn made him at a loss.

"Are you still thinking about using a few * to kill your mouth?"

Shu Ping glanced at a piece of paper that Cheng Dayang pressed under his hand, on which Izumo's rough armor belt was drawn, and various plans were densely written next to it, but most of them were crossed out.

"Yes, I can only guarantee sinking, it's hard to guarantee that everyone will die at the bottom of the sea. Lin's request is simply impossible to fulfill...... By the way, according to your analysis, how many * are safer to launch? ”

"According to my estimates, even if all 6 pieces in the * tube are shot, there is no guarantee that no one will escape. Not only does Izumo have armor, but there are also plenty of watertight compartments below deck that can slow down the rate of water ingress. ”

"That's the truth. Even in the history of naval warfare, there are few such precedents. ”

"So don't dwell on it* and change your thinking."

Shu Ping sneered and shook his head, Cheng Dayang suddenly realized that he was selling Guanzi.
