The Izumo's approach and anomalies made Takeuchi less and less confident. He personally went to the cabin and asked to connect with Masao Kosaka.
Hearing Masao Kosaka's impatient tone, Duanwu thought about it and immediately asked Masao Kosaka to reply.
He wanted to stabilize the Japanese. Now they were still 3.5 nautical miles away from the enemy ship.
At such a distance, he still couldn't win by surprise.
Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival had to continue towing until it was close enough to the Kawauchi ship.
At this time, Kosaka Masao replied: "I am Kosaka Masao, I am Kosaka Masao, Takeuchi-kun, what can I do for you?"
Takeuchi breathed a long sigh of relief because he finally heard Masao Kosaka's voice.
He quickly asked: "Mr. Kosaka, it's great that you are fine. Someone just said that the power system of the Cloud is broken. Is this true?"
Masao Kosaka replied very sincerely: "It's true, the power system of the Izumo was damaged when the imperial army fought with the Chinese soldiers. Now, I am trying to find a way to stop it."
"Yo Xi, this makes me feel relieved."
Takeuchi nodded and put down the intercom.
But at this moment, he was just about to let out a sigh of relief when the adjutant reported: "Your Excellency, Major Yamamoto wants to see you."
"Major Yamamoto?"
Takeuchi was a little surprised because there was no major officer named Yamamoto in his fleet.
The adjutant quickly explained: "Your Excellency, Major Yamamoto is the captain of the Yamamoto frigate."
"Yo Xi, let him come in."
Takeuchi finally remembered that when Yamamoto was sunk, he had sent a distress signal to him and given Takeuchi the coordinates. Otherwise, how could Takeuchi have found the sunken site of Yamamoto and Ogawa so easily in the dark night?
.
"Takeuchi-kun!"
At this moment, Yamamoto came in impatiently.
At this time, Yamamoto was soaked all over his body and his shoes were full of water. He made a squeaking sound when he walked, like a drowned rat.
But he didn't have time to tidy up his appearance, so he said anxiously: "Mr. Takeuchi, I saw the Izumo approaching us, why don't you attack? Torpedoes, you must launch torpedoes. Artillery fire at the Izumo."
So far as it is concerned, it doesn’t have much effect.”
"Hahaha, no need at all. The Chinese have surrendered in fear of the power of the Japanese Empire. Yamamoto-kun, I'm afraid you don't know yet, right? Mr. Kosaka, the chief engineer, has taken control of the Izumo. We were on the phone just now."
Takeuchi laughed, but Yamamoto shook his head repeatedly and said: "Takeuchi-kun, have you forgotten how the Yamamoto and Ogawa frigates were sunk?
The opponent's fighting style was extremely fierce, and he fought like a madman. He was very decisive. When Ogawa-kun and I tried to attack, he immediately charged at us at full power.
His reaction was too fast. He fired all the naval guns, and the large-caliber main gun fired very accurately. He hit the Yamamoto's left main gun at a position six or seven nautical miles away from the Yamamoto.
The Yamamoto suffered heavy damage and caught fire, and the Ogawa covered my retreat.
At that time, we opened fire in full force. Although it was a little hasty, we still hit the Izumo.
We saw the fire on the Izumo and thought that the Izumo would slow down even if it didn't stop.
But who would have thought that the Izumo would appear in front of us unscathed like a monster bathed in flames, and launch a crazy revenge shot at us.
The scene at that time was simply too terrifying. The Izumo was like a steel behemoth coming out of hell.
In front of it, the imperial warships were simply too small.
We launched torpedoes at it. But for some reason, not only did our torpedoes not hit the opponent, but we were actually hit by the opponent's torpedoes.
Everything is so weird. Takeuchi-kun, our opponent is not a person at all. It is a real beast.
Just think about it, can you believe what the beast says? Can Mr. Masao Kosaka really subdue such a beast?"
"Nani?"
Takeuchi was not a fool. Hearing what Yamamoto said, he also murmured in his heart.
What's more, he had been suspicious of the Izumo before. He asked: "How far away is the Izumo from us?"
A Japanese radar report reported: "Your Excellency, there are still about three nautical miles."
Takeuchi ordered: "Let them stop the ship immediately."
"Hi!"
Takeuchi's adjutant responded, and then began to call the Feiyun.
On the Feiyun, Duanwu is doing the final pre-war mobilization.
Duanwu shouted loudly: "Brothers, this will be the greatest victory of the Chinese Navy in history!"
Veteran Youzi Zhou Dabang joked: "Haha, Tuan Zuo, aren't we the Army? Why are we the Navy again?"
"Shut up, shut up, you old guy is not dead yet. Get aside and pretend to be dead for me, otherwise I will assign you to be the vanguard."
Duanwu cursed, and Zhou Dabang quickly shut up. Because being a vanguard is the fastest way to die.
It is often seen on TV that when an enemy is discovered or searched, the vanguard is the one at the front. It is one of the units with the highest mortality rate.
So if Zhou Dabang doesn't shut up at this time, he will be a fool.
At this time, Duan Wu continued carelessly: "My independent regiment is an all-round military unit. We can fight on land. We can also dominate at sea!"
"well!……"
Dragon Boat Festival only said one sentence, and all the soldiers present applauded.
But this applause is not flattery, but comes from the hearts of the soldiers.
If another person said such a thing, they might not believe it. But when Duanwu said such a thing, everyone present believed it.
Needless to say, the veterans came here with the Dragon Boat Festival. The Japanese who were beaten at Sihang Warehouse were as if they were stupid.
The transformation into a living person can be called a classic. Dancing on the tightrope is even more like a myth. The British Concession killed Japanese spies and attacked the British. What is one thing that does not make veterans convinced and admired?
As for these new recruits, the prisoner of war camp rescue was just the beginning. On Highland 103, they truly experienced the command ability of Dragon Boat Festival. When the regiment deputy Xie Jinyuan was frowning, the regiment leader solved the problem in front of him with just a few words.
Dilemma.
As for the immediate problem, it goes without saying that seizing the warship is a miracle in the eyes of these recruits.
Less than eighty people went to seize the enemy's warship. This kind of thing has only been seen in books.
As a commander, let alone act decisively, whether you dare to have such an idea is a matter of choice.
So to others, it would be a joke, but here in the Dragon Boat Festival, it is the best shot in the arm - in battle, the land soldiers have never lost. When we go to sea, we still dominate! This is the domineering spirit of the Dragon Boat Festival! ...
