Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

At this time, Yamamoto 56 still didn't know that the fleet was attacked by a Chinese submarine, and thought they had broken into the opponent's minefield.

Taking advantage of the confusion of the Japanese, the second attack force entered an excellent attack position under the joint guidance of radar and periscope.Zhang Chengzhi immediately ordered: "The front torpedo tubes 9, 1, 2, and 3 of Shark Hunter 4 are 130 degrees to the right, and the distance is 690 meters. Launch!"

4 electric torpedoes came out of the tube, and the short 5 minutes seemed as long as a century. The sonar soldier in charge of monitoring suddenly shouted: "Attention!", and soon everyone on the ship heard that the enemy ship was hit. The first explosion sounded, and more than 9 seconds later, there was a second sound. After another 8 seconds, the third and fourth sounds also sounded.

"Hit the enemy ship! Hit the enemy ship!" The sonar soldier shouted loudly.

The Japanese battleship Hyuga has turned into a hell on earth at this time, raging fires are constantly jetting out from the cracks in the blasted warship, the bridge is full of fire, the elevator platform fell off the slide rails, and a few unlucky people The * operator was killed on the spot.What is even more exaggerated is the starboard hull. The torpedo cut four huge openings on the starboard side of the hull. The surging sea water poured in uncontrollably from various places, engulfing the hull on this side, and the entire warship immediately began to attack. Lean right.Obviously, Hinata has been sentenced to death.

"Order the destroyer to rescue, damn it, what's going on?" Yamamoto screamed angrily.

The destroyers around the Hyuga quickly approached here.

At this moment, Zhang Chengzhi issued a surprising order: "Order the teams to dive, turn left, and prepare to continue the attack."

This is a tactic that is tantamount to suicide, because their heads are already covered with their own "natural enemy" destroyers, and doing this by themselves is like a mouse walking around in front of a cat's nose.But for Zhang Chengzhi, only big adventures can lead to big success. After 30 minutes, based on the calculations of the sea chart and sonar, the whale hunting team should have arrived at the expected launch position. "Float up and take out the periscope, and launch the torpedo immediately after confirming the target position." At this time, everyone knows that as long as his submarine goes up and sticks out the periscope, it may be spotted by the Japanese destroyer. Order.

"emission!"

Three groups of 12 torpedoes were launched into the water without intervals, and they made waves in the water and went straight to Jidong Maru, Shen Guo Maru, and Dongbang Maru. This time they aimed at the enemy's supply fleet, as long as they killed each other Without supply ships, the United Fleet will be dead in the sea.

Three of the torpedoes quickly approached the port side of the Jidong Maru, and penetrated a large hole with a diameter of one meter there. Two torpedoes hit the oil storage tank of Shen Guomaru, causing a huge explosion. The ship 2 minutes later Slowly sinking.Three torpedoes directly hit Dongbangmaru's ammunition reserve, and a series of explosions tore Dongbangmaru into pieces in an instant.

The two consecutive successes of the Chinese sea wolf did not make the Japanese understand.First of all, due to the influence of heavy fog.The distance between the fleet and the fleet is too wide.Therefore, after a ship was hit by a torpedo, it took a long time for the news to be known to another warship.In addition, the flagship Yamato was the first to be sunk, causing the entire army to lose its soul, which further exacerbated the chaos of the fleet.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Chinese sea wolves launched continuous attacks on the chaotic Japanese combined fleet.

It was already 4 o'clock in the morning of the next day, and five submarines of the whale hunting team sneaked up behind the five heavy cruisers. At a distance of 4000 meters, they fired 20 torpedoes consecutively from the bow and tail launch tubes.The United Fleet in the chaos still did not discover such a dense torpedo track, and did not make a Z-shaped anti-submarine route, but continued to move forward according to the original route.

A huge fireball rose from the bow of the heavy cruiser Alto, but this was only the beginning of the disaster.The bow of the Aituo was not designed with a watertight cabin, so the front of the warship began to flood with water and gradually sank.The entire warship slowly left the water surface and became a vertical state. The keel suddenly broke from the middle because it couldn't bear the huge pressure.The broken rear part of the hull hit the water heavily.The front part slowly sank into the water, while the back part sank slowly after floating on the sea for about 10 minutes. 730 Japanese sailors sank with the ship because they were not rescued in time.

Two explosions came from the water again, this time the unlucky one was the Tone behind the Alto.Two torpedoes directly hit his middle ammunition bay, with an explosive equivalent of 870 tons, causing this two-year-old warship to immediately fall apart and become parts. Only 3 of the [-] officers and soldiers survived.

By this time, no matter how stupid the Japanese were, they understood what was going on.They immediately began to organize a counterattack. With the help of the underwater acoustic detection system, one destroyer after another drove over, aggressively rushing forward to attack the floating submarine.

The destroyer Bailu appeared to be extremely patient, holding on to Hunting Fish 2 for a long time, and dropped a large number of depth charges along the estimated track, drawing two barrages of cross bombing above the submarine. An explosion about 50 meters above the hull would almost cause a fatal blow to the submarine.

During the pursuit of the Bailu, the stern elevator indicator of the hunting fish 2 was damaged by shock. The * helmsman mistakenly thought that the stern rudder electric * had failed, so he changed hands * to operate, but due to panic, he turned the submersible rudder by mistake, causing the The submarine plunged below the limit depth.In the cabin, the rattle of the pressure hull can be heard being pressed by the huge pressure of the water.With great difficulty, the helmsman was readjusting the submarine to a safe depth, but the Japanese destroyer was still patrolling on it, and everyone had to wait patiently.

Finally, the sonar soldiers heard the signal that the sound of high-speed propellers faded away from the listener.Only then did Hunting Fish 2 float up carefully.

In the eastern waters, other sea wolves are expanding their achievements.Shark Hunter 4 successfully damaged the heavy cruiser Chikuma of the fourth formation after releasing four torpedoes, although it did not sink the opponent.But at least let it lie in the dock for about half a year.The light cruiser Nagara was also damaged.The destroyers Nosan, Arashi, Hagikaze, and Wukaze were also sunk by Chinese sea wolves. In addition, four oil tankers, three supply ships and several other ships were also torpedoed into the seabed.

Resurgence: World War II Chapter 561 The Hunt for Nagasaki Port

Of course, Seawolves were not without losses. Five Seawolves were sunk or destroyed by Japanese destroyers in this battle. Among them, Hunting Whale No. 9 and No. 6 sank after an unfortunate collision at sea due to heavy fog.Fortunately, most of the soldiers were rescued in time.When Whale Hunter 7 was diving, the entire hull hit the iceberg, and the submarine immediately leaked and sank without any survivors.

No. 5, No. 10 and No. 8 were also unlucky. They were preparing to attack a Japanese supply formation that was lagging behind. Unexpectedly, the underwater sound caused by their excessive speed alarmed the submarine monitors of the escort ship. , Then 8 destroyers rushed over, patrolling and reconnaissance on the water.They expanded their search area in all directions, depth charges and artillery were at the ready.After receiving the news, Zhang Chengzhi immediately ordered the two submarines to retract their periscopes and dive rapidly.But Lieyu 5 was unable to dodge in time. After a loud blast of depth charges, Lieyu 5 was cracked by sea water and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.Although Shark Hunter 8 was also impacted, but fortunately the damage was not serious, and it diverted in time to leave this sea area.

Hunting Fish 7 was tightly bitten by a destroyer.He had just made an emergency dive when the destroyer dropped a depth charge just where the periscope had just retracted into the water. With a loud "bang", a column of water tens of meters high was stirred up on the sea surface. The powerful explosion impact damaged the propeller shaft of the submarine, and when the propeller rotated, it made an unpleasant scream. The ship number reported its position.If the engine is stopped at this time, the submarine will slowly sink to the bottom of the sea.So I had to drive at full power, drive desperately, and row the "S" shape desperately under the water.

The three destroyers including the Chiyo followed closely with their sonar devices, always pressing on the top of the hunting fish 7.Depth charges were continuously dropped into the sea.

The pursuit lasted for nearly an hour. Just when the depth charges were about to be released, the sound detector on the ship lost its echo. After a while, a huge water splash appeared underwater, and a black oil smear appeared. This indicates that Lieyu 7 finally did not survive the last moment.

This kind of battle continued until the night of July 7. After many Chinese submarines ran out of ammunition, they quietly withdrew from the battle through the night and thick fog, while the sea full of gunpowder smoke was full of ship wrecks, Dead bodies, supplies on board and various daily necessities, the air is full of burnt and bloody smells, in addition, there are survivors who fell into the water crying for help, and sharp whistles, the scene after the disaster is horrific .

In this submarine attack, more than 40 ships of the United Fleet were hit, 28 of which were sunk. The United Fleet lost about 10000 people on this day, while the submarine formation only paid a slight price of more than 200 casualties .

Whether in terms of momentum or magnificence, this battle was almost the same as yesterday's one-day decisive battle between the air forces of the two sides.

After a brief repair, Lin Taizeng gave up the task of chasing the United Fleet according to the order of the Ministry of the Navy, and planned to turn the bow of the ship and rush towards Jeju Island in the north. In the early morning of July 7, the Beiyang Fleet rendezvoused with the main force of the Nanyang Fleet who came to support.Nanyang Fleet Commander Bo Qian and Lin Taizeng, two naval admirals, together with senior fleet officers held a brief celebration ceremony on the flagship Kuangfeng.

But at this time, the Ministry of the Navy suddenly sent another urgent telegram, saying that the remnant of the Japanese Combined Fleet was about to arrive at the port of Nagasaki, Japan, and asked the Nanyang Fleet to stay and station in the waters of Jeju Island, while the Beiyang Fleet would immediately go to Nagasaki , Destroy the Japanese warships stranded there, and completely reduce the power of the Japanese navy to zero.

After receiving the order, Lin Taizeng frowned and remained silent for a while.He knew that although the Combined Fleet had been severely damaged and it was difficult for them to compete with the Beiyang Fleet, they were very likely to lay mines in the waterway or send submarines to ambush them during their escape.At that time, in case the attack time of the Beiyang Fleet is protracted, once the Japanese recover and regroup their forces, it will be difficult to deal with it by relying on the local advantage of Nagasaki Port.Lin Tai once felt that the matter was of great importance, so he held an emergency military meeting on the Gust of Wind. As soon as the meeting started, heated discussions took place in the meeting room.

"I think we should use the air superiority of our battleships and aircraft carriers to launch an attack in one fell swoop, and win the final victory through non-stop bombing and shelling. Anyway, they are already immobile in the port. And our air force and navy deal with them like usual training It’s as simple as shooting a target. It only takes one day for us to wipe out the opponent’s entire army.” Lin Jiyin, the commander of the battleship formation, took the lead in expressing his combat concept, and this plan was also supported by most people. It is also the most practical.

"Using this tactic is not very good at present." Li Qingwen, the commander of the light cruiser formation standing opposite Lin Jiyin, said flatly, "Although the expected victory can be achieved through air strikes and non-stop bombardment, the enemy will take many extreme measures in this way. Ways, for example, they will block the battleships at the mouth of the bay, so that the port can be completely paralyzed, which will also affect our future landing operations, and it will probably take half a year to clean up." Li Qingwen tapped his fingers on the table, I hope to draw everyone's attention: "The best way now is to achieve the end through peaceful means, and it is best to let the Japanese surrender."

"It's too simple." Lin Jiyin said with a sneer: "The combined fleet is the entire strength of the Japanese navy. If he can surrender, it means that the Japanese navy has surrendered to us. Is this possible? Besides, it takes a long time to persuade us to surrender. At that time, if the persuasion fails, the best opportunity to attack will be wasted."

Lin Tai once looked at the two people who were quarreling and chattering, and lost his mind for a while.

Looking at the densely packed Chinese warships outside Nagasaki Port, Yamamoto 56 had a headache and said, "Strengthen, work harder, are you a soldier? You don't have any strength in your hands." Yamamoto was asking a sergeant to strangle him Brow, he thought it would relieve the headache a bit.

At this moment, a messenger suddenly came over and reported: "Two Chinese messengers came from the Beiyang Fleet, saying that they are negotiators sent by the Chinese side and want to see you."

Yamamoto was taken aback. At this time, the Chinese suddenly sent negotiators to do something. He pushed away the clumsy hand of the sergeant, "Okay, tell them to meet on the Mutsu."

After a cup of tea, Yamamoto saw the two Chinese. They were wearing neat navy uniforms and big white caps, and they said loudly: "We are Lin Jiyin and Li Qingwen, colonels of the Imperial Chinese Navy, who served our Beiyang Fleet. Lieutenant General Lin Taizeng ordered me to come to see you!"

Yamamoto put on an air of the Minister of the Navy of the Empire of Japan, and said slowly: "Is there anything? Is it necessary for us to negotiate now?"

Lin Jiyin smiled and said: "His Excellency Yamamoto, I hope you can see the current situation clearly. Our Beiyang Fleet has defeated you two days ago, and almost all of your battleships and cruisers have been sunk by us. At present The soldiers of the Beiyang Fleet are suppressing the border, and the United Fleet is huddled in the small port of Nagasaki. There is no way out, and the fight will not benefit you at all." Although Lin Jiyin's attitude was quite polite, his words were not at all polite.

"Pfft!" After listening to the provocative words of the other party, Yamamoto spat out a mouthful of blood. He had already vomited blood once when the two sides were fighting, but now the other party's arrogant and rude attitude made his injury worse.The guards and medical officers immediately surrounded him, frantically giving Yamamoto a break.After a while, Yamamoto breathed more evenly, pushed away the adjutant next to him, stared at Lin Jiyin and said, "You said our Japanese navy failed?"

"That's right!" Lin Jiyin nodded slightly, then took out a kraft paper bag from his pocket, and handed it over unhurriedly: "This is the deployment of the Japanese Navy's troops. According to the information we have, the joint The fleet brings together all the large and medium-sized warships in Japan, as well as the most elite naval forces. After the Battle of Jeju Island, only one out of ten is left, and our Beiyang Fleet warships did not go to battle at all. Completely destroyed you, can't such a result make you give up? It's impossible to come back, so I suggest you think of a new way out immediately." After speaking, he stood up.

"You don't seem to have finished your sentence yet?" Seeing the other party stand up, Yamamoto said loudly: "Did you come all the way here just to tell me that our local fleet was defeated?" Yamamoto He looked at each other coldly with sharp eyes.

Li Qingwen took over the conversation: "Your Majesty Yamamoto, Chinese people never lie. The facts are right in front of you, and you know it best in your heart. Also, are your supplies running out? I guess you can last for another two or three days Even if it’s not bad.”

Yamamoto was silent, and he also knew that what the other party said was indeed true, but he could not see his troops laying down their weapons and handing over the entire warship to the other party intact. This is unacceptable to any Japanese soldier, but still Maintaining the greatest tolerance, he said: "Tell me, what conditions did you General Lin Taizeng put forward?"

"It's very simple. For the ultimate peace here, our general hereby asks me to tell you that as long as you can lay down your weapons and lead all the soldiers to surrender, then you will be treated safely and humanely. When the war is over, you will be released. "Li Qingwen said.

"Are you asking us to surrender? To be prisoners?" Yamamoto shouted loudly, he seemed a little out of control, stood up straight and pointed at Li Qingwen: "I will solemnly tell you and your supreme commander right now, our big Japanese The imperial navy will not surrender and will never surrender! We will fight until the last ship and man. By the way, put away your lies, the Chinese are the most insidious and cunning, as long as my soldiers surrender, only cold bullets Waiting for them, what kind of humanity, safety, go to deceive ghosts!"

Resurgence: World War II Chapter 562 The Death of Yamamoto

"It doesn't matter." Li Qingwen sneered, "Where to go is up to you to decide, but what I want to say is, Mr. Yamamoto, you should think about the other 6000 Japanese officers and soldiers in your fleet." Afterwards, Li Qingwen and Lin Jiyin left Mutsu in a big way. in the conning tower.

"Puff tom!" Yamamoto finally couldn't hold it any longer, and fell heavily to the ground.

"Your Excellency, General!" Takashi Shiro and Hashimoto Shintaro who were standing nearby rushed over quickly, helped Yamamoto up, and persuaded: "The situation outside is not clear now, I think the Chinese may be lying , Your Excellency, please be patient for a few days, I believe that the emperor will definitely send troops to reinforce after getting the news. At that time, we will have a chance to turn defeat into victory."

"It's useless," Yamamoto shook his head slightly, "The Chinese are right. The Combined Fleet is the entirety of the Japanese Navy. Except for the warships here, there are only some mosquito ships left in Japan, so we can no longer Count on reinforcements. "Speaking of this, he sighed heavily.

"Then let's go out. We still have two large ships and seven cruisers in our hands. If we rush out, the opponent will definitely not be on guard. At worst, we will fight to the death."

"No!" Yamamoto said decisively with a wave of his hand, "We are not strong enough to defeat the opponent. According to the intelligence obtained by reconnaissance, the enemy has parked about 70 warships outside the strait, including 11 battleships and 3 aircraft carriers. And Didn’t you see today that the opponent’s carrier-based reconnaissance planes are circling over Nagasaki Port non-stop. As long as our warship moves slightly, they will immediately find out. When we rush to the mouth of the bay, we will face countless enemies. Airstrikes by planes, we may all be finished before we get there. Although it is our duty as soldiers to be loyal to the country, I don’t want to see this kind of result similar to death.” Speaking of this, I personally think that we I have done my duty as a soldier, so I personally suggest that we should surrender! "

"Ah? What are you talking about, Your Excellency? You want us to surrender?" After hearing Yamamoto's words, everyone was taken aback. It is really unbelievable that such words came from the mouth of the Japanese Navy Minister.

"Your Excellency, please reconsider this matter."
