The Andaman Islands are located on the southeast side of the Bay of Bengal, which is the dividing line between the Bay of Bengal and the Burmese Sea.

At 1:40 a.m., in the southwest of the Andaman Islands, two destroyers cruised the waves and swam on the sea at a speed of 16 knots.

The two destroyers are both Italian Navy Lion-class destroyers, named Tiger and Leopard.

In early March, the German Navy's First aircraft carrier formation completed a three-month maritime blockade of the Bay of Bengal and was ordered to be transferred back to the country. The Italian Navy replaced the German Navy to continue the task of blocking the Bay of Bengal.

The most important task of blocking the Bay of Bengal is to track Japanese submarines to prevent Japanese submarines from smuggling through the Strait of Malacca and the Burmese Sea into the Bay of Bengal, and then enter the Indian Ocean to attack the Allied supply fleet.

After the Italian Navy took over the blockade mission, it worked diligently to carry out its mission, whether it was sunny or storm, blocking the sea surface of the north and south wings of the Andaman Islands 24 hours a day.

On the destroyer of Tiger, Captain Simeone Perotta, captain, was sitting in his bedroom, leaning on the desk with his arms, biting a pen in his mouth, staring at a photo of two people placed on the desk with his eyes slanted.

In the photo, Captain Perotta is wearing a military dress and standing side by side with a glamorous woman in a white wedding dress, with a happy smile on her face.

Thinking about it now, the wedding seemed to have happened yesterday, but in a blink of an eye, less than a month later, I will be a father.

From then on, my left shoulder had to take responsibility for a husband and my right shoulder had to take responsibility for a father.

What name should I give after the child is born?

Captain Perotta thought for a while, and suddenly laughed at himself.

I don’t even know whether the child is a boy or a girl. Now I think about this question too early.

Lowering his head, Captain Perotta wrote a love letter full of love, pouring all his nostalgia for his wife into the letter, then carefully folded the letter and stuffed it into the envelope, preparing to send it out as soon as he returned to the base.

Putting the letter into the drawer, Captain Perotta picked up the military cap on the table and buckled it over his head, pushed the door open and walked out of the bedroom.

At 158, Captain Perotta walked into the captain's command room and asked the first lieutenant who was on duty for him, "Is there anything wrong?"

The first mate shrugged, spread his hands and said, "Everything is safe, at least that's what we are here."

The two of them talked a little more, and the first mate went back to rest, and Captain Perotta commanded the battleship to continue patrolling.

Captain Perotta looked at his watch at two o'clock, and there were still three hours before the shift change time at five o'clock.

Time passed quickly in boring patrols, and an hour and a half passed without realizing it.

Captain Perotta yawned for a long time, raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. When he looked at the other people in the command room, he looked confused and sleepy.

Captain Perotta gave his subordinates a shot of a heart attack according to the methods learned from the old captains.

"There is an hour and a half before returning, and now the countdown begins."

The crew members were cheered up when they heard Captain Perotta’s reminder.

Everyone talked for a few words, breaking the dullness in the command room.

Every ten minutes, Captain Perotta will report the time.

"It's four o'clock now, and there is still an hour before you return, so everyone cheer up."

Captain Perotta's voice had just stopped, and a sound came from the sound transmission tube.

The sound came from the listening room.

"The sound room reports that the bridge is 170 degrees, with a distance of about 500 meters. There is an abnormal sound under the sea water. It is suspected to be a submarine."

Captain Perotta immediately shouted: "Right rudder is full, heading 170, and move forward slowly."

The Tiger destroyer turned right on the water and headed towards the direction reported by the listening room, while slowing down its speed.

The distance of 500 meters flew away, and the listening room soon sent a message again.

"The sound first got louder and then disappeared, the submarine should be below us, and they found us."

"Notify the ship to prepare to drop a deep water bomb."

The Tiger destroyer quickly slowly circled the sea, and the mine launcher at the tail made a muffled sound, shooting deep water bombs in gasoline barrel-shaped shapes towards the sea.

Amid the rumbling explosion, thick white water columns soared into the sky, like a blue whale squirting water.

The underwater attack has not been confirmed whether the results have been achieved, but the question of the Leopard destroyer has arrived first.

"We found a Japanese submarine, which was attacking and everything else was safe."

"Simone, you are such a lucky guy. I hope you can achieve a victory and wish you good luck."

Captain Perotta smiled confidently after receiving the message from the leopard.

The Tiger destroyer turned around the sea at this time, dropped twenty deep-water bombs, and then stopped the attack.

On the observation post of the bridge, the observers carefully searched the sea with telescopes, but did not find what they wanted to see, such as large pieces of oil, corpses or other submarine fragments.

Perotta asked the listening room, and the listening room said that no abnormal sound was heard again.

"Damn it, I was run away by this guy."

Perotta cursed in a low voice, losing a result, and he was in a bad mood.

Under the command of Captain Perotta, the Tiger destroyer unwillingly made another circle on the sea before leaving in disappointment and heading east.

At this time, the sky has begun to brighten and the stars have gradually withdrawn from the sky.

Captain Perotta was angry about losing one victory and suddenly heard a report from the observation post.

"The fleet was discovered in the east, and the fleet was discovered in the east, with a distance of about 6 nautical miles, a course of 260, a speed of 25 knots, a number of 4, no, it was 6, Oh my god, it was 8. Eight warships were approaching."

"Change, turn around, head straight west, and move forward at full speed." Captain Perotta first asked the ship to turn around and stay away from the unknown fleet, and then contacted the Leopard destroyer and reported his discovery.

The Observation Post sent another message.

"It's a Japanese warship, a Japanese warship, they opened fire."

Almost at the same time, the Tiger destroyer was surrounded by white water columns.

The warship passed through the rain of bullets, skillfully completed the turnover, accelerated urgently, and fled to the west.

Captain Perotta was commanding the battleship to escape, and he did not forget to look outside the bridge.

White water columns rose one after another, and his eyes fixed on the thickest ones.

This type of water column can only be made of at least 200 mm caliber naval shells.

Among the warships behind him was at least one heavy cruiser from the Japanese Combined Fleet.

The Tiger destroyer fled rapidly on the sea on the S-shaped route, and the communication room urgently sent the enemy's report back to the fleet base.

While escaping, Captain Perotta found that there were fewer and fewer water columns around the warship, and he seemed to be away from the firepower range of the Japanese fleet.

If you persist for a while, you and your subordinates should be able to escape. When the main force of your fleet leaves the port, you must come back and follow the main force of the fleet to teach these brave Japanese a lesson.

Captain Perotta made up his mind secretly, but he didn't know that on the sea not far away, a periscope slowly turned and the eyepiece locked his battleship tightly.

When the Tiger destroyer completed a turn to the right again, two ripples appeared silently on the sea surface directly in front of the periscope, rushing straight towards the starboard side of the Tiger destroyer.

A shrill alarm sounded into the bridge: "Torpedo was found on the starboard side, and torpedo was found on the starboard side..."

"The left full rudder, the left full rudder."

Captain Perotta glanced at the sea surface on the starboard side and soon saw two deadly ripples, and then issued an evasion order.

The warship swung its tail and turned left. A torpedo passed by the sea behind the stern, but another torpedo hit the rear of the Tiger destroyer.

White splashes soared into the sky, almost surrounding the stern of the Tiger destroyer.

A strong shock spread from the hull into the bridge. Captain Perotta's body shook and hurriedly grabbed the railing before he could not fall to the ground.

The huge power of the torpedo almost blows the Tiger destroyer into two pieces, and tons of sea water pours into the hull from the explosion port, and the hull tilts to the right uncontrollably.

"Abandon the ship, abandon the ship."

On the deck, the sailors hurriedly threw the lifeboat lifebuoy into the sea, then jumped into the sea and swam away from the warship.

Captain Perotta was mixed in the crowd, wearing a lifebuoy on his body. He looked back at the warship behind him until he swam out a distance he thought was safe. However, what he saw was the endless sea, and the destroyer of the Tiger had sunk to the bottom of the sea.

My beloved warship just sinks.

Soon, another destroyer appeared in his sight, and on the flagpole of the warship's stern, a red and white plaster flag fluttered in the wind.

The Japanese destroyer extended his hand of friendship to the Italian sailors who fell into the water, put down the rope ladder and let them get on the ship.

After boarding the Japanese warship, Captain Perotta, who escaped from ascension, looked at the Japanese sailors who were eyeing the guns and live ammunition around him, and suddenly a terrifying thought popped up in his mind.

Will you and your subordinates be sent to Unit 731 for human experiments?

······

At noon that day, Chen Dao and Mandofir had lunch at the restaurant on Prince Eugen when they suddenly received a notice.

"The Japanese fleet broke into the Bay of Bengal? Why did they appear at this time?" Chen Dao asked in confusion.

"Is the Japanese fleet the second batch of guests you invited? They seem to have arrived a little earlier." Mandofir asked.
