The seemingly crazy behavior of the Dragon Boat Festival is actually very simple to explain.
Soldiers reported that the ammunition depot was on fire.
I'm afraid this will be an irreparable and devastating blow to every warship.
But for the Izumo, that's a different story.
Of course, it is definitely not that the ammunition depot on the Izumo will not explode.
But if there is still ammunition in the Izumo's ammunition depot, the Dragon Boat Festival will not be in trouble. If all the firepower is pressed up, the Northern Territory will have sunk by now, and the Izumo will still be hit by so many Japanese shells.
?
The main gun on the bow of the ship only had the last shell left. Sun Shiyu, as an experienced gunner, was very nervous.
He kept taking aim, but he still didn't dare to fire. Because there was only one shell left, and it would be gone when it was fired.
The remaining guns and shells are probably on the starboard side. I wonder if the little devil will give this opportunity to give the starboard guns a chance to aim.
So Sun Shiyu's shot was very crucial. Nervous Sun Shiyu had sweat in his eyes, as if his eyes were covered with a layer of mist.
But the more nervous he became, the less clearly he could see, and the less clearly he could see, the less he dared to fire.
And at the same time, what was even worse was that the Japanese supply ship chasing the Izumo actually fired a torpedo at the Izumo.
This supply ship was armed to the teeth by the Japs. In addition to two defensive naval guns, the bow torpedo launcher and the stern minelayer were among the more advanced weapons at the time.
Although the Little Devil's tanks were made of paper-skinned walnuts due to resource problems, they still used Type 38 rifles when automatic weapons were all out in the late World War II. However, some of the Little Devil's weapons did attract the attention of various countries at the time.
.
And especially the Japanese Type 93 torpedo.
As mentioned before, this kind of torpedo has fast speed and high concealment, which gives even Americans a headache.
In the Battle of Savo Island, Type 93 torpedoes severely damaged 5 Allied heavy cruisers; in the Battle of Tassafarunga, 3 heavy cruisers were damaged and 1 was sunk; in the Battle of Kula Bay, 1 light cruiser was sunk.
After the war, the U.S. Navy specially investigated this aerobic torpedo, which was powerful and had a range that was three to four times that of the same type of torpedo in the United States. It used this data to create the world's leading mk17 torpedo at the time.
Therefore, it can be seen that not all the products produced by the Japanese army are scrap metal, and not all products produced under the imperialist ideology are waste.
What's even more difficult is that just after the Japanese fired two torpedoes, the Japanese actually stopped the ship to reload.
This little devil actually started a war of attrition with the Dragon Boat Festival.
At this time, the Northern Territory was still firing wildly at the Izumo. However, the Izumo only fired back with a small amount of artillery fire.
The Japanese soldiers from the North saw that most of the Izumo's artillery had misfired, and concluded that the Izumo was already a paper tiger at this time.
Without main naval guns and torpedoes, it was simply a fantasy for the Izumo to sink a destroyer.
What's more, the Izumo seems to be out of ammunition.
The Northern Major's confidence doubled, and he gave up the idea of escape, and actually rushed towards the Izumo, and the two sides launched a fierce exchange of fire.
Both sides suffered damage, and both battleships were on fire in many places.
But in comparison, the Izumo is more dangerous, because right behind the Izumo, there are two Type 93 torpedoes approaching rapidly.
Underwater sonar found traces of torpedoes. However, at this time, there were no torpedoes on the Izumo and it was impossible to intercept them.
So just when the Izumo was about to run out of ammunition, it was attacked by Japs from two directions at the same time.
No!
At this time, multiple speedboats belonging to the Little Devil were also besieging the Izumo from multiple directions.
Although there were no heavy weapons on the speedboat, machine guns and rifles kept firing at the independent regiment soldiers on the boat.
At a distance of about a hundred meters, the soldiers of the independent regiment were no match for the little devils. The casualties were very high.
Dragon Boat Festival knocked out the machine gunner on the little devil's boat, and cursed loudly: "Don't be so stupid when fighting, let's fight. Grandma! Don't rush forward stupidly, I will lead you to fight."
Going to the East!"
"Tuanzuo, the little devils are too arrogant, I can't stop them!"
A soldier shouted loudly.
Duanwu kicked the opponent and cursed: "My shooting skills are not as high as others', so I just put my gun closer and hit him. It's not shameful to be a coward, it's shameful to lose your life. Every soldier in our independent group has
Jin Gui, I’m leading you to kill little Japan, I’m not letting you all die stupidly on the battlefield.”
Another recruit interjected: "Leader, you are different from other officers. Other officers want us to rush to death, but you let us be a coward?"
"That can only mean that the commander doesn't know how to fight. If you encounter a commander like that again, kill him. Damn it, he will only rush forward in the war. And use him to command? A three-year-old child can do that.
You all listen to me, get close to the Japs and get within thirty meters, and wait with grenades. I just don’t want to compete with the Japs in marksmanship."
"good!"
The Dragon Boat Festival roared, and the soldiers responded in unison. Let alone winning or losing the battle, just listening to the roar of the regiment, the soldiers cheered up and their morale was high.
At this moment, their blood was boiling, and they all felt that they could beat three little devils each.
This is all because Duan Wu was so good at eloquence, and everything he said revealed the truth. The soldiers had no choice but to believe in his ghost.
"Tuanzuo, Tuanzuo, it's not good, there are little Japanese torpedoes at the stern of the ship, and there are two of them. Captain Wang said that he can only avoid one."
At this moment, Daozi came running to report to Duanwu.
"Go back and tell Captain Wang not to bother me with this nonsense. Isn't it enough to just drop depth charges and blow up the torpedo?"
Danwu was cursing because he was about to kick Sun Shiyu's ass. Because Sun Shiyu delayed in firing, many places on the Izumo were shelled and set on fire.
"Yes, group seat."
Daozi responded, then turned around and ran away. He conveyed the Dragon Boat Festival order to Captain Wang.
"···············"
Captain Wang was speechless, because Duan Wu always said it was so easy. But where should he go to find depth bombs?
He could only ask Masao Kosaka who was standing aside: "Old Bear, are there depth charges on our ship?"
"················"
At this time, it was Masao Kosaka's turn to be speechless. Because my name is Masao Kosaka, you can call me Mr. Kosaka, Masao, that's fine, but where does this old bear start?
However, in Japan, a name is just a nickname, and it is usually very casual. Those who live by the river are called Watanabe, those who live on the hillsides are called Kangshang. Those who were born under the pine trees are called Matsushita.
So it doesn't matter how you call me Masao Kosaka, and he still feels very friendly.
After all, he often heard Duan Wu being called Wang Jian Lao Wang, Xie Jin Yuan Lao Xie, Zhao Beishan Lao Zhao, etc. He believed that these were nicknames that only he could have.
So, he also gave himself a Chinese name - Xiong Da.
Of course, this is not important. What is important is that there are no depth bombs on the Izumo. Therefore, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to carry out this order of Danwu! ...
