The end result is to escape.

It turns out that it is impossible to be opportunistic.

The Navy is an absolute muscle-flexing class.

In front of a heavy cruiser with a displacement of 8,000 tons, a torpedo boat with a displacement of less than 50 tons is a scumbag.

The only advantage is speed.

But others don't compete with you at all. What others have is firepower.

All kinds of machine guns will shoot you in the head.

It is impossible to get into the 2000-meter range.

What?

Launch a torpedo?

Launching a torpedo at a distance of 2000 meters?

Joke about it!

Pure waste of torpedoes.

Even in later generations, it will not be possible to launch a torpedo at a distance of 2000 meters.

Enter at least 500 meters of distance.

Preferably within 200 meters. This way the target doesn't have enough chance to dodge.

Then destroyers came to rendezvous.

Well, it's even less of a chance. The only option is to escape.

Sure enough, the Japanese heavy cruisers and destroyers converged, formed a fleet, and immediately launched an overwhelming fire attack.

"Boom ......"

"Boom la la ......"

"Boom ......"

"Boom la la ......"

"Boom ......"

Cannonballs kept falling.

The main ones were 127-mm naval guns for destroyers. The rate of fire is fast and powerful.

The heavy cruiser 203-mm naval guns did not bother to fire.

But other small-caliber machine guns were still very ferocious. If one shot is hit, the torpedo boat will be finished.

"Boom la la ......"

"Boom la la ......"

The sea water was constantly splashed onto the torpedo boats.

Boss Yu and the others turned gray.

Last time, it was so dangerous to encounter a Japanese destroyer. Now it's such a big one, do you need to say?

The only thing that can be done is to pray desperately. Pray for the blessing of the gods and Buddhas.

But Boss Yu still has to be at the helm!

"Withdraw!"

"Withdraw!"

Zhang Chu hurriedly ordered.

Can't stay any longer.

And that's just naval shelling! If the plane arrives, it's over.

Remove!

Immediately retreat to the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Only by retreating into the river can we avoid the pursuit of the Japanese warships.

Otherwise, no matter how big the East China Sea is, there will be no place to hide.

Increase the horsepower and run desperately.

Fortunately, the torpedo boats were fast enough. Successfully pull away. All the way back to the mouth of the Yangtze River. Then he hurried in.

It's on the shore of Zhenjiang. Put Boss Yu and the others ashore.

Boss Yu and the others were all apprehensive. Weakness in the legs. It wasn't until I was convinced that I had successfully landed on the shore that I felt more at ease.

Zhang Chu: ......

Well, it's a bit too much. I'm in a hurry.

Boss Yu and these people are all kind fishermen who are responsible. It is indeed a bit fanciful to expect them to come up and confront the Japanese heavy cruisers.

suddenly remembered Duan Haiping.

I used to say that I introduced myself to someone, what about people?

Oh, I ran to Jinling. I rarely go back to Songhu.

"Who?"

Suddenly, I heard someone shouting.

Zhang Chu squinted. Several people were found in the vicinity. It's a little strange to dress up.

It's said to be a striped shirt, but it's not exactly a striped shirt. But it's really not like a normal costume. Then I suddenly remembered. This seems to be the sea soul shirt of the Republic of China Navy?

"Wait!"

Zhang Chu hurriedly shouted.

I was afraid that Boss Yu and the others would be too nervous and shoot the other party to death.

Walk over.

The other party was a little nervous.

"You're the Navy?" Zhang Chu asked.

"It's not ......" the other party subconsciously denied.

"Scared?"

"Not ......"

"I have a torpedo boat, followed by a Japanese battleship, are you interested in coming up and playing two?"

"......"

Several people on the other side looked at each other.

Yes, Zhang Chu can be sure that they are from the navy. Otherwise, how can you hesitate?

If it was an ordinary person, he shook his head directly.

What torpedo boats, I have never heard of them. When he heard about the Japanese warship, he refused even more.

But these people in front of them did not refuse. Just hesitate.

"The Japanese have one Furutaka-class heavy cruiser and five destroyers. It is possible that it will also be supported by carrier-based aircraft. ”

"I have five torpedo boats. Speed up to 40 knots. In case of emergency, it can be pulled up to 50 knots. But it doesn't last. Each torpedo boat is armed with two 533-mm torpedoes ......"

Zhang Chu's words are concise and to the point.

That's what happened. Think about it.

After all, the battle on the sea is very strong. There is no shortcut. If you want to set up a thousand pounds in four or two, rest as soon as possible.

"That won't beat."

Sure enough, someone quickly answered.

is a one-eyed dragon. There is only one eye left.

Others shook their heads as well.

The difference in strength is too great.

"But you can attack the Japanese army's transport!"

"Especially the troop carriers that attacked the Japanese invaders."

"On land, I want to eliminate a large group of devils. Very difficult. But if you catch one of the Japanese troop carriers, you can kill the opponent with just one torpedo. A large battalion of Japanese infantry would have to sink to the bottom of the sea. It's much easier than destroying the enemy on land. ”

Zhang Chu said calmly.

The one-eyed dragon Huo Ran looked up.

The others also looked at each other, and then their eyes lit up.

But it was Zhang Chu's words that inadvertently made them jump out of the original shackles. Found a new way to fight.

Actually, they can't be blamed.

The idea at that time was navy versus navy.

To put it simply, battleship to battleship.

Didn't think about doing anything else.

Even the Japanese navy paid great attention to attacking the other side's logistical supply lines.

In fact, the Japanese also had submarines. Submarine technology is not bad. Even with such a big killer as an oxygen torpedo. It is also possible to attack the merchant ships of the Americans. But the Japanese did not realize this. Blindly pursuing battleship to battleship. The characteristics of mobile combat were not brought into play. On the contrary, it was the Japanese invaders' own transport lines that were gradually strangled by American submarines.

If the Americans can do it, we can do it too.

The Japanese invaded China and needed a lot of shipping. The torpedo boat is fast and has a small target, so there is definitely a chance.

Fight your battleship won't work. Wouldn't it be okay to beat your logistical merchant ships?

"I'll do it with you!"

The one-eyed dragon made up his mind.

The others nodded their heads. Secretly clenched his fists.

That's right, you can try.

I can't beat your ships, but I can fight your transports.

Run when you encounter a battleship.

Hit the transport ship on board.

Maritime guerrilla warfare is not impossible......

However, Zhang Chu shook his head.

Cyclops:???

Others: ???

What do you mean?

Zhang Chu said: "I'm very busy. There is not enough time. Only occasional participation in the action. So, how to fight, you figure it out for yourself. But I can equip you with enough torpedo boats, and enough torpedoes. There are also various other weapons and ammunition. ”

Cyclops:......

Others: ......

It turned out to be a misunderstanding.

Initial communication and understanding. These people are indeed the Navy.

The leader is called Min Rujiang, who is a captain in the navy. Once the captain of a minesweeper.

The Navy is just that. Minesweepers can also be considered part of the battleship. The people around him are all his subordinates. There were more than 30 of them, and they were all scattered and missing.

Where did the minesweepers go?

Excuse me. It was sunk a long time ago. Or rather, it was abandoned.

There must be some humiliating stories in between. Zhang Chu didn't ask carefully.

"In short, from now on, you will receive all kinds of support." Zhang Chu said bluntly, "Your strategy is to constantly consume the Japanese invaders. ”

After a pause, Zhang Chu continued, "Consume the soldiers of the Japanese invaders. Consume the supplies of the Japanese invaders. ”

Finally, in a word, sea guerrillas.

Don't fight regular battles with Japanese warships. Because you are certainly not opponents.

Sneak attacks are possible.

Ambush is possible.

Can be pursued.

The most outstanding advantage of torpedo boats is their speed. Flexible movements. As long as you don't get entangled with the Japanese warships, you can definitely get out.

What if you can't run away?

I'm sorry about that. No one can be 100% safe.

"Let's try it......"

Min Rujiang was silent.

Zhang Chu nodded. Arrange a torpedo boat at once.

In total, there were six torpedo boats. Min Rujiang and others drove away two ships. Zhang Chu was on top of one of them.

Brief introduction.

As a result, with the roar of the engines, the speed of the torpedo boat, which soon increased to 50 knots......

Zhang Chu: ......

Rub, talent!

I thought that those who didn't speak were a little timid! I didn't expect it to be so fierce!

Directly pull up the speed to 50 knots!

It seems that Min Rujiang Station is quite stable. Virtually unaffected by the bumps of the waves.

Yes, after all, it was the former navy. The work under the soles of the feet is still very hard. Stand firm. Then there is no problem.

Continue galloping.

Suddenly, a Japanese battleship appeared in front of it.

Zhang Chu's eyes sank.

It's a destroyer.

Hurriedly shouted: "Turn the corner......"

As a result, Min Rujiang turned a deaf ear.

Zhang Chu: ......

Dizzy. You don't want to challenge the Japanese destroyers head-on, do you?

Dizzy!

However, he is not cowardly!

Grass, is he not as good as this Min Rujiang?

No way!

I didn't bother to speak. Stand upright.

Just two torpedoes.

As a result, Min Rujiang made a gesture, and another torpedo boat immediately dispersed.

Zhang Chu vaguely remembered that there was also a naval captain on the torpedo boat, who seemed to be named Cao Zhiyong. It's also wilting, and it doesn't talk much. But the boat is also fast.

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

The Japanese destroyer opened fire.

The shells fell in the vicinity of the torpedo boats. The distance is less than fifty meters.

The explosion flew up and the mist fell on top of the torpedo boat.

But Min Rujiang turned a blind eye.

That Cao Zhiyong didn't care either. Continue to drive the torpedo boat at a speed.

Soon, the distance is close.

"Launch!"

Min Rujiang decisively ordered.

Immediately someone flipped the switch and released the two torpedoes.

Zhang Chu: ......

Now?

It seems a bit far! But nothing was said either.

After all, he is not very professional in such a thing as firing torpedoes. For safety, he had aerial bombs ready.

"Sneer......"

"Sneer......"

Cao Zhiyong, on his side, also fired two torpedoes.

Vaguely, Zhang Chu felt that the launch angles of the four torpedoes seemed to be a little exquisite. But I don't know exactly where to pay attention to.

The so-called 10-year army, 100-year navy. There is too much technology in the navy.

Forget it, it's up to you to see if you hit......

"Torpedo!"

"Torpedo!"

The shelling of the Japanese destroyers stopped.

It seems that the shrill screams of the lookout posts can be heard. Then the Japanese destroyer quickly began to turn the rudder.

It seems to be a left full rudder? The destroyer quickly turned to the left.

The waves roll.

It proves that the actions of the Japanese destroyers were very violent.

Zhang Chu tilted his head to observe the trajectory of the torpedo, feeling that he was going to miss it?

It's normal to think about it.

The hit rate of the torpedo was not high in the first place.

On average, firing ten torpedoes and being able to hit two is already considered very good luck.

"Boom ......"

Just then, an explosion was heard.

No, to be precise, the first thing to see is a huge column of water rising from the surface of the sea.

The torpedo hit!

The Japanese destroyer suffered heavy losses.

It was visible to the naked eye that the entire destroyer was held high by the sea. And then it fell heavily.

Yes, if you don't die, you will be crippled.

"Boom ......"

The second torpedo was also an accurate hit.

The destroyer was cut in two directly from the middle.

"Boom ......"

And then the third.

It doesn't seem to have any effect. The destroyers were all blown up.

"Boom ......"

And then the fourth.

The explosion sent the destroyer directly to the bottom of the sea.

Zhang Chu: ......

Rub, won't it?

All four torpedoes hit? Is there such a coincidence?

One is enough......

Sure enough, the Japanese destroyer sank and disappeared.

"Ding......

"You managed to sink a Japanese destroyer......"

"You get 15 million in earnings......"

"You get a batch reward: three ...... of American-made PT torpedo boats"

"You get 150,000 ocean ......"

Information came.

The Japanese destroyer really sank.

The sailors were also swept to the bottom of the sea.

Being hit by four torpedoes in a row, not to mention that the destroyer could not withstand it, even the battleship was enough to choke.

The power of the torpedo, no one dares to underestimate.

Even if it was the previous Furutaka-class heavy cruiser, if it was hit by four torpedoes in a row, it was estimated that it would sink on the spot. Therefore, the threat of torpedoes to battleships is really super large.

It seems that the most unlucky battleship of World War II, the Japanese aircraft carrier Shinano, has the base of a battleship, which was originally very strong. As a result, it was also sent to the bottom of the sea by a few torpedoes.

"Hit!"

"Hit!"

Someone shouted excitedly.

Zhang Chu turned his head to look at Min Rujiang. I found that his expression was unwavering.

Well, only one eye is hanging. It feels cool. If he had a little more smoky makeup, Captain Jack wouldn't have dragged him like that.

Cao Zhiyong over there is also similar. But not cold. Rather, he jumped three feet high on a torpedo boat. It's a big monkey who escapes alive.

Probably, overjoyed, jumped to the side of the torpedo boat.

And then......

Didn't stand firm.

"Poof!"

I fell into the sea. Splashing up strings of waves.

Zhang Chu: ......

Speechless.

It's all talent!

A sleeping dragon and a phoenix chick can summon a divine dragon when they are collected......

But it doesn't matter.

Whatever their reaction is. As long as you can fight.

Return.

Return to Zhenjiang Port.

I stopped landing in the middle of nowhere. Docked right at the port.

Min Rujiang and Cao Zhiyong jumped off the boat and hoisted a naval flag in the harbor. It is a clear sign that the Navy is back.

Zhenjiang originally had a naval electric mine school. It is specialized in training naval personnel. It can be said that it is the Whampoa Military Academy of the Navy. These people are all from the lightning school. Now, in Zhenjiang, there are still a large number of students. They were going to gather all the students. Rearmament of the torpedo boat squadron.

Zhang Chu: ......

Sweat. Aren't you being too high-profile?

If you let the Japanese navy see it......

But in the end, nothing was said either.

In the future naval battles, it was mainly these people who fought them. Whatever they have in mind, of course, they have to implement it as much as possible.

I looked through some school materials.

Hehe, it turns out that the Navy really has four squadrons of torpedo boats. All were torpedo boats imported from Britain and Germany.

No wonder these people use torpedo boats so slippery. Dare to love is trained.

The four torpedo boat squadrons, one named Shi Kefa, one named Yue Fei, one named Yan Gaoqing, and the other named Wen Tianxiang, are also somewhat famous.

So, Zhang Chu released all the torpedo boats. Eight ships in total.

First of all, the Yue Fei squadron was formed.

Previously, they used torpedo boats, of average quality. It's all early products. The performance is completely incomparable to that of the PT speedboat.

"Ding......

"Torpedo boats can be upgraded for free......"

"Can be upgraded to a domestic P-6 class torpedo boat ......"

The message came suddenly.

Zhang Chu: ???

Studied it. It doesn't feel like there's a need to upgrade.

The same two 533-mm torpedo tubes. The maximum speed is 45 knots. Engine horsepower 4800, full load displacement 66 tons......

Forget it, I'm too lazy to upgrade.

I'll talk about it later when there are missile speedboats. That's the real killer......

"Min Rujiang!"

"Cao Zhiyong!"

Suddenly, someone shouted.

But a captain on crutches appeared.

He was dressed in military uniform and meticulous.

Zhang Chu: ......

It's also a talent!

At this time, costumes appear here.

Min Rujiang and Cao Zhiyong were silent. Obviously, they didn't know each other very well.

Zhang Chu looked at this and that curiously.

How? There are only three people, and there is a festival in the middle?

But I didn't ask in detail.

As long as you can kill the Japanese criminals, everything else can be put down.

"Who are you?"

"Report to Adjutant Zhang, my name is Wang Hesheng. Former captain of a Navy minelayer. ”

"Minelayers?"

Zhang Chu suddenly understood. Why is there a festival among the three people?

Two are minesweepers. One is for minelayers. Born to be a rival! Do you think you can get together?

"Yes. I used to win them. They are not convinced......"

"Shut up! It's you who cheats ......"

"A loss is a loss. What a cheat ......"

"Wang Hesheng! You ......"

Min Rujiang and Cao Zhiyong were very angry.

If it weren't for Zhang Chu's presence, it is estimated that he would have come up directly to fight.

Zhang Chu waved his hand.

"You are not convinced, because of the troops."

"From now on, you all have the same weapons. Each of you has a torpedo boat. Whoever takes the most is the winner. ”

Zhang Chu is quick to speak.

It's best not to be convinced. Then race against each other.

I will provide all the weapons and ammunition you need. The target of the battle is the Japanese invaders. If you have the ability, you will go to the trouble of the Japanese invaders.

"I need funds......

"How much?"

"Five thousand oceans!"

"Good!"

Zhang Chu is not stingy.

Immediately come up with fifteen thousand funds. Divide into three portions. Five thousand oceans per serving.

The Navy is really burning money.

Burns more money than the Air Force.

Every time you go to sea, you have to prepare a lot of supplies. When the aircraft carriers of later generations go to sea, they have to prepare hundreds of tons of food alone.

The three immediately fell silent.

They already have weapons, they have ammunition, they have money......

Next......

It's time to fight hard!

"You two are doomed!"

"Phew!"

"Let's go!"
