Six bright water lines, in the field of view of the Japanese officers and soldiers headed by Taibo Suzuki of the "Kakko", were approaching like six poisonous snakes. After flying, except for the easternmost one, which almost brushed the stern of the "Kakko", the other five lines all passed by.
One end hit the hull, and in the next moment, five fireballs mixed with thick smoke exploded almost simultaneously. There was a violent "rumbling" explosion, and five huge waves rose into the sky like little white dragons coming out of the pool - dozens of them.
The Japs were thrown into the air due to the violent shaking of the ship's hull. As the Japs soldiers screamed, Taibo Suzuki turned pale, grabbed the railing with both hands, gritted his teeth and closed his eyes - he was hit by five torpedoes at the same time.
The "Kakko" will definitely not escape the fate of destruction.
The Japs on the "Jiagu" were still running and howling, while the Japs on the other ships took a deep breath almost at the same time - What kind of ship is this? It is so small but has such destructive power?
The Japanese soldiers who had a ship targeted by the Swordfish realized the crisis and became crazy. They mobilized all, many sailors with rifles, and some officers with pistols to join in the sniper attack on the Swordfish, fearing that they would also be destroyed.
disaster.
Ten seconds after the "Kakko" was hit, the hull stopped shaking and began to tilt to the port side. Five large holes were blasted out of the port side hull at the same time, and all sealed compartments were filled with water at the same time. The "Kakko" was like a tidal mountain.
Just like that, it was quickly swallowed up by the sea water——
The sinking of the "Kakoko" was a painful blow to Arima. A heavy cruiser with a displacement of 7,000 to 8,000 tons was lost in an instant. If the culprit was to be held accountable, he, Masaru Arima, would definitely not be able to escape the involvement. When he discovered the incoming attack
When he was studying the torpedo boat force of the military, he ordered the escort fleet to attack and the troop transports and landing ships to retreat, but he forgot that for torpedo boats, large ships with large target sizes were their favorite targets. At this time, he was correct
The choice should be to let the small ships escort the big ship to launch a defensive battle instead of taking the initiative to attack. Suddenly realizing this, Arima shouted to the adjutant: "Generate power, let all the gunboats and frigates gather around the big ship, focus on defending the big ship
!”
Arima's reaction was a bit late, and the adjutant ran out to ask the communications staff to generate electricity, and asked the signalman of the "Ise" to quickly signal. Five torpedo boats surrounded the battleship "Ise" from the left and right directions, and the target was the battleship "Ise".
.
The "Ise" has a total length of 208 meters and a displacement of 39,680 tons. It can be called a giant ship. With such a large ship in front of them, it naturally became the priority target of the students of the Dongshan Fleet. Five torpedo boats
They all belong to the second brigade, and 016 is personally commanded by Fucheng, the captain of the second brigade. Fucheng's second brigade suffered the heaviest losses in the process of approaching the enemy ship. There were a total of thirteen torpedo boats, and these five were the only ones left. "Ise"
The target of the battleship was too big, so for the students, the temptation to sink it was accordingly the greatest. At the beginning, there were at least ten swordfish aiming at the ship. The losses of our brigade were so serious that Fucheng became a little worried.
Hysterical. He shouted on the public channel: "No one should argue with me, 'Ise' belongs to our second brigade!"
At first, many people were unconvinced. For example, Liu Feng, the captain of the Fourth Brigade, casually asked: "Fu Cheng, why are you doing this? Don't be too overbearing!"
"Why? I only have five boats left in the Second Brigade!"
Some were unconvinced, and some tried to smooth things over. Xu Xiushan, the captain of the third brigade, advised Liu Fengsui: "Old Liu, forget it, just give it to Lao Fu! He is eager to avenge his brothers, and we have to understand."
Because of this episode, when Fucheng issued orders to his ships, he emphasized: "Brothers, did you all hear it? 'Ise' was given to us by other brigades to avenge our fallen brothers. If we can't sink it,
, everyone, don’t go back, just jump into the sea and commit suicide!”
These words were so bloody that the captains of other ships responded loudly: "Captain, how do you think we should fight?"
"Separate, I'll take the front, 018,023 port side, 024,026 starboard side -"
"yes!"
The five Swordfish cut through the wind and waves and approached the "Ise". They were still 1,500 meters away from the "Ise". Several frigates came forward and opened fire with all available weapons.
, 024 fired a shell from the port side when it broke through, and a raging fire broke out on the ship.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Yuanxi, the instructor of 024, reported to the captain Wang Linyun: "Boss, there is a fire on the port side! Do you want to put out the fire first?"
Wang Linyun was concentrating on controlling the ship. After hearing this, he glanced back and gritted his teeth and said: "It's too late, brothers, prepare to launch. Once the launch is over, dive into the water immediately!"
Stopping to put out the fire at this time is no different from waiting to die. And if you don't save it, as the fire gets bigger, the Swordfish will definitely not escape the same fate. Wang Linyun made an instant judgment - it's death anyway, so die.
It needs to be more vigorous.
"Boss, if you want to die, let's die together!" Zhang Yunxi said.
Wang Linyun said nothing more, but made a sharp left turn with the boat and ran straight towards the bow of the "Ise". At this moment, the heavy cruiser "Jiagu" was hit by Qi Minghao and the others. There was a violent explosion.
Zhang Yunxi said with joy on his face: "Boss, Commander Qi and the others have done a great job! A big ship was beaten by them - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, okay! Five, this big ship is finished!"
Before he finished shouting, there was a violent explosion, and a water column rose from the bow of the boat. With a "crash" sound, the glass in front of the cockpit was completely shattered by air waves and water waves. The fragments smashed him, Wang Linyun and two other students.
The soldiers completely covered him. He howled miserably and sat down on the ground.
Without Ma Zheng's reminder, the Japanese ships also realized what kind of danger the flagship "Ise" was facing. They launched a bombardment desperately and frantically, and one shell almost hit the cockpit of 024. Even without Zheng,
This small boat of less than 100 tons almost capsized.
There were a total of four combatants in the cockpit of 024. Two cadets were killed on the spot, and Zhang Yunxi and Wang Linyun were also seriously injured on the spot.
At this moment, if you look at it from the front, you will find that Wang Linyun's entire upper body is covered with glass fragments, and his blood has dyed him red. However, he refused to fall. Not only did he not fall, he also stood as tall as a mountain, and he insisted on controlling the ship from the waves.
Successfully lowered to the sea surface. As soon as the ship became somewhat stable, Wang Linyun shouted: "Launch!" Then, he lay on the steering wheel and lost consciousness.
At this time, 024 was only more than a hundred meters away from the "Ise", and the direction its bow was facing was exactly where the "Ise" was.
From a distance of one hundred meters, the Japanese on the port side of the "Ise" could clearly see everything in the 024 cockpit. Most of the Japanese were shocked by what they saw. Arima Masaru also saw the bloody man Wang Linyun collapse suddenly.
At the scene on the driving platform, he took a breath and murmured: "Xue Bingjun who is not afraid of death! I finally learned the lesson today!"
