Chapter IX Fighting Violence with Violence
The Japanese fleet, which was in chaos after touching the mine, has been closely following the situation.
Although the Japanese warship turned on the searchlight, on the dark sea, this lighting condition is not only difficult to find a periscope that only exposed a small piece of the water, but on the contrary, it has become the best indicator for the submarine to indicate the direction and target.
The submarine slowly forced in from the outside with a diving depth of about 15 meters, and all the spirit and atmosphere reached a white-hot heat at that time.
"About 3,000 meters from the target..."
"Very good!" The captain didn't look back and "keep moving forward."
"The torpedo on the bow is ready."
"The ship-stern torpedo tube is ready."
A series of sounds came, making everyone's already tensed strings tighter again.
"Distance to target 2000 meters, speed 5, and heading 270."
"keep going."
"1600 meters away from the target...C...1200 meters..."
As the distance approaches, the figures of the Japanese warships become clearer in the periscope's vision. Facing the formation that was messed up after touching the lightning, the submarine officers and soldiers all smiled knowingly. Although only the captain could observe the situation on the sea, everyone believed that the Japanese would definitely not be able to take it this time.
Although he was a little unwilling to give up, the captain remembered the commander's order - let the battleship go and attack the transport ship.
Continue to adjust the position, avoid larger and more attractive warships, targeting only those weak and powerless transport ships loaded with Japanese soldiers and ordnance.
"1000 meters..." In the periscope, + suddenly appeared.
"Good guy, I finally caught it." At this moment, the submarine had already passed through the center of the Japanese fleet.
“900!”
"The shooting elements are calculated!"
With a "bang", the captain put away his periscope and said, "Float!"
It's time to attack! Everyone can't help but be excited!
"Wow!" The compressed air emptied the water tank, and the hull slowly rose, like a shark showing sharp teeth...
“Target, 800!”
"Torpedo...release!"
Two "punch" and "punch". Two torpedoes shot out from the torpedo tube in turn, roaring, and heading straight toward the target.
“Emergency dive!”
Everyone held their breath, and the water cabinet that had just been drained was filled with sea water again. The dark hull disappeared under the water in an instant - it was really a surprise to show its strength!
Everyone held their breath, waiting for the torpedo results.
800, for a blackhead torpedo with a speed of up to 30 knots, it only takes a while.
On the sea surface, two torpedoes cut through the surface and rushed toward the prey at an angle of 15.
It's getting closer, closer.
besides
"What is that?"
Suddenly someone screamed on the deck of the transport ship. He shouted at two tracks running from a distance.
"No, that's a torpedo!"
"Torpedo!" The soldiers of the army were almost going crazy if they didn't know what they were.
"Where did the torpedo come from?"
"Switch the rudder. Turn the rudder quickly!"
There was no Yuxia to answer this question anymore. There was no Yuxia to complete the maneuver. With a "bang", the first torpedo kissed the port side of the transport ship fiercely.
With a "boom", the ship swayed, and everyone felt as if they were pushed hard by something, and they were not firmly standing and almost fell into the sea.
Hundreds of kilograms of explosives have forged the extraordinary attack ability of torpedoes. Not to mention the weak transport ships of thin and weak ships, even if the thick and rough battleships are hit by such a shot.
"18...24...32 When the submarine counted to 33, they heard the explosion of torpedoes - as if it had tilted the entire sea area, and then another huge explosion.
"Success!" The atmosphere was immediately released by the suppressed ground, and the small submarine space became a sea of joy for the crew.
Almost at the same time, the other three boats also launched their own offensives and achieved remarkable results.
The torpedo and mines caused a huge blow to the Japanese fleet. In a panic, the two Japanese destroyers collided together because they were bound to be too late. The other ships wanted to avoid the elusive torpedo, but they could not do so but hit the mine again. The sailors' eyes were broken, and even a piece of floating wood on the sea surface might be considered as
…
There are soldiers falling into the water everywhere. Although the sea water cannot kill people, many of the land ducks in the army do not know the nature of the water. Even if they can swim, they will fall into the water without any warning. In order to compete for the few lifebuoys, the soldiers used fists, teeth and even bullets...
It's messy, it's all messy...
"Baga!"
No matter how much Kato yells, it will be useless!
After the submarine succeeded, it withdrew from the combat area and used radio to report the news of the successful attack to the Beijing headquarters!
"Okay!" Although it was late at night, the emperor had been paying attention to the war on the front line. After receiving such a good news, his originally locked brow stretched out, "That's great!"
At dawn, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came an uninvited guest...
"Your Excellency, I am ordered by the imperial government to urgently meet you. I hope you can explain the situation near Jiaozhou Bay." Japanese Minister Hiraii looked evil, and he could see that he was in a bad mood.
"If you have any questions, please ask me. This minister is also trying to summon the minister to ask about some situations in person."
"Half an hour ago, I received a domestic telegram informing the Chinese army that caused serious casualties to our Japanese Imperial Army near Jiaozhou Bay... How do you explain this?"
"It's strange. This minister has just received a report saying that our defense force suddenly suffered an unidentified direction and unidentified identity during normal military exercises, resulting in the minefields arranged by our army for the exercises being completely destroyed. Most of the combat materials and property of our defense force were damaged, and the specific losses are still under detailed investigation. Could it be that this matter was done by your country's army?"
"You?!" Rizhi's face turned pale, "We have no malicious intentions to land, and it is targeting the German army in Jiaozhou Bay. There is no attempt to directly target your army. How can your army attack our imperial army with minefields?"
"I dare to ask your minister, where is your army entering the minefield?"
“The beach head near Laoshan Bay.”
"Is Laoshan Bay? I would like to ask your minister, your army declared war on the German army in Jiaozhou Bay. What are you doing in Laoshan Bay? There is no German soldier there." Liang Dunyan said with a sarcastic word, "I think your army will not know that our army has been conducting combat exercises there and has clearly laid out the mark of minefields. Didn't you pass on this kind of news?"
Rizhiyi seemed to have not understood the ridicule of the other party's words, and said arrogantly: "You are a quibbling... I want to ask you, since you know that our army and the German army are in a state of war, why do you have to practice near Shandong? Isn't this provocation, and what's it?"
"The words of your minister are surprising. Where is our defense force exercising? It is purely a domestic affairs and other countries have no right to interfere! Furthermore, the time when our defense force announced the exercise was long before your country declared war on Germany. Do we also need to be responsible? Can we question this way, even though your country knows that our army is exercising near Shandong, it still has to use force against Jiaozhou Bay. Isn't this a provocation? "
"No matter what, I am here to negotiate under the order of my government, asking your country to apologize for the incident yesterday afternoon and compensate for all losses. At the same time, your country's army must withdraw from the sensitive area within 6 hours and shall not interfere with any actions of our Great Japanese Imperial Army..."
"Where are exercises in the military and what situations are held in the exercises are all our defense secrets. Other countries have no right to interfere. Our country is neutral in the conflict between Japan and Germany, but it does not mean to endure and concession with the infringement of the sovereignty of the conflict. The Minister is well aware of international law. I think it is better than me that the 'both sides in a state of war shall not use any reason or excuse to infringe on the rights and interests of third countries that have nothing to do with it'!..." Before Liang Dunyan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Rijiyi's rudely: "I asked to meet with your minister today, not to discuss international law, but to resolve the matter. If the country cannot receive a satisfactory reply in an effective time, we will retain the right to act freely..."
Listening to this naked threat of force, Liang Dunyan had no intention of giving in: "In this way, our country will also retain any arbitrary and fair response methods, but I hope your country will not go further and further on the wrong path!"
"Since that's the case, say goodbye!"
