The torpedo boat formation of the national army rushing towards the Japanese fleet consisting of hundreds of battleships, destroyers, gunboats, and motorboats was like a group of light cavalry rushing towards the tank group. It was extremely tragic, and the end was naturally conceivable.

Amid the deafening and dense sounds of explosions, explosions, and water splashes, five or six Japanese destroyers and twenty or thirty Japanese gunboats and motorboats lay across the river, and then smashed their heads with bullets like locusts. All the naval guns, machine guns, and machine guns poured out their shells with all their strength, and crossed and converged on the Yangtze River to form a wall of fire that completely blocked the river. The cannonballs blasted the water polo like bamboo shoots after the rain on the river, and the large amount of river water that was blown into the air caused a torrential rain on the river.

Between the intercepting Japanese destroyer formation and the charging national army torpedo boat formation, countless bullets flickered, intertwined, and danced frantically. The moths were completely unable to get past the intercepting firepower net of the Japanese army, and they could not retreat. , Flying all over the sky, the torpedo boats that were overturned by the water waves blasted by the Japanese naval artillery shells sank into the Yangtze River like a turtle. Soon it was full of sinking torpedo boats, broken torpedo boat fragments, burning torpedo boat wreckage, dead torpedo boat sailors, torpedo boat sailors struggling to survive after being injured, and torpedo boat sailors swimming to the shore after falling into the water, a pool of blood It spread continuously on the river.

The Japanese army hated the torpedo boats of the national army to the bone, and directly fired machine guns at the sailors of the torpedo boats of the national army in the water, opening up groups of flying flesh and blood.

"Hit a rock with an egg!" Major General Samejima put down his binoculars and looked mockingly at the sparkling river.

The torpedo boats of the national army fought very tragically, and at the same time they were not completely killed, and they still created considerable results.

Facing the hail of bullets from the Japanese army, the torpedo boat formation charged and fired torpedoes angrily. Six or seven Japanese ships exploded with thunderbolts. The torpedo hit rate was very high. In order to most effectively intercept the torpedo boats of the national army, they are all placed horizontally on the Yangtze River. If the Japanese destroyer faces the torpedo boat of the national army with its bow, the firepower that can be exerted is the weapon on the bow. If it is horizontal, all the firepower on the Japanese destroyer At the same time, the hull of a destroyer can also be used to seal the Yangtze River waterway across the Yangtze River, preventing the national army's torpedo boats from breaking through.

A destroyer is about 100 meters long and 10 meters wide. If it is horizontal, the entire hull is within the range of the torpedo hit point, and the probability of being hit by a torpedo is naturally high.

When the torpedo boat formation of the national army was completely lost in the battle, a total of 7 ships of the Japanese army were hit by mines, including 3 destroyers, 3 gunboats, and 1 motorboat. 3 gunboats sank and 2 was seriously injured. Of the 1 destroyers, 3 sank, 1 was seriously injured, and 1 was slightly injured. The one that sank was the Flag Wind.

The loss of a destroyer made Rear Admiral Samejima a little distressed. Hatagaze had a displacement of 1270 tons, which was equivalent to 30 Wasp-class torpedo boats of the Chinese Navy, but he was not particularly distressed. He looked at the rear of the fleet, Mutsu, The Ise, the Hyuga, and the Nagato were still bombarding the city of Nanjing safely without any damage. He was relieved, as long as the battleships were well protected, the battleships of tens of thousands of tons were fine, and a destroyer of more than 1000 tons was lost It's not a big deal either.

At this time, Rear Admiral Samejima never dreamed that under the warship under his feet, below the river surface, there was a surprise attack force of the Chinese army, which was quietly passing through the Japanese destroyer protection circle from the bottom of the Yangtze River.

Listening to the explosion sound from the river above, Bu Xiao in "Oil Rat" and other frogman special forces all had tears in their eyes, and burst into flames. The army brothers who fought back are covering themselves with their lives and blood, and pin all their hopes on them.

"It must be successful! Don't let the dead brothers die in vain!" The frogmen all gritted their teeth.

The Japanese did not expect to use frogmen to raid enemy battleships from the bottom of the water. The Japanese’s tactical thinking is rigid on the one hand, and Jiang Weiguo’s ingenuity is on the other hand. The most important reason is that this move is extremely difficult, so the Japanese never thought about it. possible.

The frogmen drilled under the Japanese battleships through the oil rats equipped with gasoline engines. This is something that the Japanese could not dream of. In addition, there is another big problem that the Japanese directly think that this is impossible. It's the frogman's breathing problem.

There was no scuba at this time. Scuba was invented by the French during World War II, and it was only used at the end of World War II. At this time, there were no compressed gas cylinders for divers. At this time, there were only diving masks. Therefore, frogmen are underwater. There is no reliable breathing apparatus, and the air can only be supplied by the air pump on board, and a few snorkels are used for short dives.

Bu Xiao and other national army frogmen simply used desperate methods to solve this problem. The Japanese warships on the river would definitely not provide them with oxygen, so they prepared a calculated amount of oxygen in each oil mouse. Hydrogen peroxide and manganese dioxide, while undergoing a chemical reaction to obtain oxygen, drive the oil mouse to sneak forward.

When the torpedo boat formation fought with the Japanese destroyer formation, it put down the dragged oil mouse, and the location was about 2000 meters away from the Mutsu.

This short distance of 2000 meters was frightening and murderous for Bu Xiao and other frogmen. Their oil mice were almost clinging to the bottom of the Yangtze River and advancing slowly. 76 of the 49 oil mice that attacked Arrived at the scheduled destination, the 27 ships that did not arrive all sank at the bottom of the Yangtze River, 11 of which had mechanical failures or the shell broke into water, 7 lost their way, and 6 got stuck between the rocks at the bottom of the river or fell into the mud at the bottom of the river and could not break free However, they had to be abandoned. Most of the frogmen inside dived to escape, and a few drowned. There were also 3 ships because of improper operation of oxygen production, which caused a large amount of oxygen to diffuse and volatilize, and the concentration was extremely high. All the frogmen inside died of oxygen poisoning. Sleeping quietly at the bottom of the Yangtze River with the oil mouse.

After paying an extremely heavy price, 49 oil mice touched the vicinity of the target Mutsu, and the position was grasped very accurately. First, because the speed of the Mutsu was very slow. In fact, the speed of all Japanese ships on the Yangtze River was very slow. In order to prevent them from being exposed to precise strikes by Chinese Air Force aircraft or heavy artillery from the Nanjing Army, the Japanese warships implemented a blackout. All ships were pitch black, and the visibility tonight was very low. On the dark Yangtze River, hundreds of Japanese warships The ships gathered together to prevent collisions, so the speed of each ship was very slow, and the second was because of Bu Xiao's correct command.

Bu Xiao, who was riding in the No. 8 fuel mouse, relied on the compass and the map, and after arriving at the predetermined location with difficulty, he held his breath and listened to the shock waves from the river. Both the main naval gun and the 410 18mm auxiliary naval guns were erupting with thunder, producing extremely powerful shock waves. At the same time, because the density of water is more than 140 times that of air, it can be felt more intensely underwater.

Bu Xiao listened carefully for 5 minutes, relying on the shock wave generated by the shelling of the Mutsu, and corrected the position bit by bit, until the shock wave came from above his head, he detonated the signal mine.

"Brothers, you are directly below the Mutsu!" Ouyang Sihai, who was on the No. [-] torpedo boat, told Bu Xiao by radio, "Let's attack! Don't let our blood flow in vain!"

"I won't let your blood flow in vain!" Bu Xiao turned off the radio and raised his weapon, "Brothers! Attack!"

A wonderful surprise attack in the history of war began.

49 oil rats and 196 national army frogman special forces escaped from the oil rats and entered the icy cold Yangtze River. They did not have any breathing apparatus and relied on their last breath when they left the oil rats and their hard-working ability to hold their breath.

Fortunately, the depth of the Yangtze River here is only about 1 meters. The frogmen dived and floated up in the river, and reached the surface of the river in one minute (because the frogmen carried a lot of weapons and equipment, they were swimming with weight).

Bu Xiao later said: "I entered the Yangtze River through the hatch at the bottom of the oil mouse. I started to go upstream. I couldn't turn on the waterproof flashlight. It was all about feeling. Of course, we are like ducks in the water, otherwise why would we be frogmen? The river is freezing cold And it’s so dark that you can’t stretch your hands and fingers. In the black water, people easily lose their sense of direction, because gravity and buoyancy basically cancel each other out. People are suspended in the dark water, as if they are suspended in nothingness. We can't tell which is up and down. We carry a lot of weapons and equipment, and the gravity is greater than the buoyancy. We rely on the direction of gravity to judge where is up.

The waves on the river were churning, and the powerful shock waves passed down layer by layer. With a strong light, I saw that the river above me was a huge black mass, and there was a strong sense of pressure. I immediately understood, I'm right below the Mutsu.

This warship is so fucking big!It is more than 220 meters long and 35 meters wide, like a giant whale on my head!"

A total of 196 of the 175 frogmen successfully surfaced near the Mutsu, and 21 drowned or died in accidents.

The frogmen who floated up to the river next to the Mutsu suppressed the extreme excitement and ecstasy in their hearts. They stroked the cold body of this water giant steel monster, and then used special suction cups, claws, ropes and other climbing tools to start climbing. climb.

The more than 1400 people on the Mutsu are extremely busy at this time, some are busy firing guns, some are busy with air observation, aiming, and design, and some are busy guarding the river, but they are guarding the Japanese army on the river. The sailors were only guarding the torpedo boats of the Chinese army. They never expected that there would be a group of frogmen. In fact, the Yangtze River was dark at this time, with flickering lights and rough waves. Some people could hardly see clearly. Floating corpse.

A small group of Chinese soldiers, relying on this method in the war, boarded the most powerful warship of the Japanese Navy.

"It feels weird!" Bu Xiao said, "When I climbed up, I saw some people on this huge ship rushing about. There are hundreds of people on the Mutsu, but the Mutsu is too big. Yes, so the personnel are very scattered. I saw a dozen or so Japanese sailors on the nearest anti-aircraft gun emplacement watching the sky intently, firing from time to time. Walk in and out of the rear hatch.

The brothers who came up first and I threw down the rope, and let the brothers who were still floating on the river climb up in an orderly manner. After we all climbed up, a Japanese sailor saw that something was wrong with us, but he didn’t shout. He called, but came over very puzzled, and I shot him a bullet without hesitation. He probably went to see Hades before he understood what was going on.

The gunshots did not expose us, because the surrounding noises were simply earth-shattering, and the dense gunfire and gunfire kept ringing. It is impossible for other Japanese to hear my gunshot.

The Japanese were firing desperately. The earth-shattering gunfire helped us a lot and covered up our movement. We almost swayed and walked towards the nearest main turret, which was located in the middle and rear of the Mutsu. The No. [-] main ship gun, the two breathtakingly thick main ship guns on the turret were emitting volcanic flames, the sound almost deafened our ears, and the air was buzzing.

We have repeatedly seen the internal structure diagram of the Mutsu in advance, so although we have never been here, we are very familiar with it.

Entering a cabin door, we entered a winding steel corridor, and four Japanese sailors trotted towards us, almost bumping into us, and we shot directly with submachine guns. It is true that no one on the Mutsu thought that there would be Chinese soldiers touching it, and then we had a big harvest in the next cabin!"

When Bu Xiao and other frogmen passed by the door of a cabin, the cabin door was pushed open, and a Japanese sailor with a smile on his face came out. When he saw Bu Xiao and the others, he was immediately stunned, completely unresponsive. Someone stabbed him through the heart, and then he opened the hatch suddenly. More than a dozen low-ranking officers and soldiers of the Japanese navy were chatting and laughing inside.

Bu Xiao and the other frogmen directly raised their submachine guns and started shooting. In an instant, the cabin was splattered with blood and howling ghosts and wolves.

Almost none of the sailors on board the Japanese army had weapons. The Japanese army did not have submachine guns. It was impossible for each sailor to have a [-]-type rifle or a pistol. Therefore, when Bu Xiao and other frogmen armed to the teeth touch the Mutsu, it is like wolves joining the sheep. What they are killing at this time is a group of unarmed low-level Japanese navy officers. It was a one-sided massacre.

"Wait!" A Japanese-speaking frogman next to Bu Xiao suddenly grabbed Bu Xiao, "Captain! Keep this guy!"

"What?" Bu Xiao was a little surprised, he killed the Japanese with ease, and it was very painful to show mercy.

"Captain, this guy is the son of King Hatohiko!" The frogman pointed eagerly at a Japanese navy lieutenant who had been shot in the thigh.

Considering that the frogmen may shout to the Japanese army, interrogate prisoners, and read Japanese army documents after boarding the Mutsu, there are several frogmen who understand Japanese in the team.

"What?" Bu Xiao was surprised and delighted, "Damn it! Is it real? Take it!"

Masahiko Otowa became a prisoner because of this.

Masahiko Otowa was chatting and chatting with a dozen of his companions in this cabin. He never dreamed that a group of Chinese soldiers would appear in such an impossible place. During the shooting of submachine guns, his companions were killed to death. Immediately injured, he was also shot in the thigh. Seeing that he was about to die, he hurriedly screamed: "Don't kill me! I am the son of King Chaoxiang Palace Hatohiko!" As a result, he became a prisoner.

As for Otowa Masahiko's companions, they were all killed by the frogmen.

"Where is the ammunition depot for this main turret?" Bu Xiao asked Otowa Masahiko sharply.

The terrified Otowa Masahiko answered the questions very cooperatively and was ordered to lead the way.

The battle went so smoothly that Bu Xiao and others couldn't believe it. They passed all the way, and it was like entering an uninhabited land. First, the Japanese did not expect Chinese soldiers to touch them at all. Second, almost all the sailors on the ship were With bare hands and no weapons, Bu Xiao and other frogmen are like Monkey King who got into the belly of the Iron Fan Princess. They were all shot dead without recovering.

Wherever the frogmen went, blood was spattered three feet. When encountering a large number of Japanese soldiers, they threw smoke bombs or grenades directly. Anyway, they were fighting on Japanese warships.

Five minutes later, after killing more than a dozen Japanese sailors and forcefully opening a hatch, Bu Xiao knew that his mission had been completed, because he and his brothers successfully drilled into the third main turret of the battleship Mutsu. In the ammunition depot, there are dozens of rounds of 5mm main naval gun shells neatly stacked in front of you, and a larger number, as many as several hundred rounds, of 410mm secondary naval gun shells.

Once it is detonated here, the entire Mutsu will be completely smashed, smashed, blown up,

Sitting on a 410mm shell larger than a person, Bu Xiao took out a carrot and picked it up: "Brothers, hold on here! Hehehe, tell the Japanese that if they dare to act rashly, we will detonate the shell and follow This battleship of theirs perish together!"

Chapter 284 Scorched City (4)

Jiang Weiguo happily trotted to the air-raid shelter where the "Chinese Heroes News" newspaper office was located, and threw a copy of the latest telegram to Liu Wugou in the work room: "Hurry up and write the manuscript! Good news! Great news! Good news! Send out an extra number immediately." ! This news is so fucking exciting! Ha! I see what the little devils can do! I have pinched their nails!" He was beaming with pride and beaming with joy.

After throwing the telegram, Jiang Weiguo turned around and left, but realized that something was wrong, he turned his head and saw Liu Wugou sitting on a chair with blank eyes and a dull expression, completely ignoring his orders and not responding .

"Hello?" Jiang Weiguo stepped forward in bewilderment, and pushed Liu Wugou.

"Ah?" Liu Wugou was awakened from the mental state of wandering too far away and the old monk was in sedation. She looked up at Jiang Weiguo with a kind of trance in her eyes.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Weiguo was at a loss, he saw Liu Wugou as if he was daydreaming, it could be described as muddleheaded.

Jiang Weiguo remembered that he had already "handled" her, so he didn't need to "keep a distance" as before, so he sat opposite Liu Wugou, held both of Liu Wugou's hands, "Hey, what are you doing these days?" What's going on? I'm always in a daze, did I encounter any problems? Lack of money? Tell me!"

Liu Wugou stared blankly at Jiang Weiguo, and then did something that Jiang Weiguo almost hated: shed tears without saying a word.

Jiang Weiguo, who has been poisoned by romance and film in later generations, hates the heroine (or supporting actress) shedding tears without saying a word. Every time he sees such a bloody scene, Jiang Weiguo can't wait to get into the screen and grab it. The heroine (or the supporting actress) yelled while shaking vigorously: "Crying for your brother-in-law! Talk about things! Talk about things! How many unnecessary misunderstandings have been caused because of this!" When Liu Wugou did this kind of thing, he could only hum and say comforting words.

"It's okay!" Liu Wugou suddenly wiped away his tears and smiled, "I just... saw too many tragic scenes when I went to the front line for interviews, so I felt very sad, alas! Actually, after I came to Nanjing I no longer have a good night's sleep, as long as I close my eyes, I will have nightmares..."

"It's okay, I'll sleep with you in the future!" Jiang Weiguo began to "show his true colors" and became dishonest.

"Stop making trouble, your colleagues in broad daylight will see it!" Liu Wugou opened Jiang Weiguo's hand angrily half-truthfully, "What do you want from me?"

"Write a manuscript!" Jiang Weiguo handed the telegram to Liu Wugou, "A good news from the navy frogman unit! Great news! Hurry up and send this great news!"

Liu Wugou picked up the telegram and looked at it carefully, his eyes widened in disbelief: "What? We... We captured a Japanese battleship? Is it true or not? How is it possible? By the way, what are frogmen?" She felt incredible.

Jiang Weiguo grinned: "Didn't you notice? The Japanese fleet on the Yangtze River has stopped bombarding us!"

Liu Wugou woke up like a dream: "That's right! There's no more cannon fire! What's going on here?"

"Just write the manuscript! If you ask too much, it's military secrets! Well, you are busy, and I am going to be busy too! There are many things waiting for me to deal with!" Jiang Weiguo walked away with a smile on his face.

Nanjing Edition "Chinese Heroes Daily" General Issue No. 036:

January 27, [-] of the Republic of China January [-], [-] AD

Headline headlines:

The Japanese naval fleet sailed into the river section near Nanjing last night and violently bombarded our Nanjing army positions.

我海军鱼雷艇部队以大无畏之雄伟勇气奋力攻击日军舰队,76艘参战鱼雷艇战损65艘,288名鱼雷艇水兵壮烈为国捐躯,击沉日军驱逐舰1艘、炮艇2艘、汽艇1艘,不同程度地击伤日军驱逐舰2艘、炮艇1艘。

Our Air Force planes bravely attacked the Japanese fleet, losing 6 planes, dropping 3 bombs, and damaging 1 Japanese ship.

The Nanjing Army's Longtan Town garrison, Wulongshan garrison, Zijinshan garrison, and Yuhuatai garrison launched a comprehensive counterattack last night, killing and wounding about 5000 Japanese soldiers at the cost of more than 7000 casualties.

A certain assault force of our navy successfully sneaked into the battleship Mutsu of the Japanese Navy cruising on the river near Nanjing through some special means, and captured and controlled the two main ship gun ammunition depots of the Mutsu!The current situation is at a stalemate. The officers and soldiers of our naval assault force can detonate shells at any time and completely blow up the Mutsu!The Japanese side panicked, and our side has the upper hand!The life and death of the Mutsu is completely in our hands!It is reported that the number of the assault force of our navy is kept secret, code-named "Alligator", great!Alligator Commando!nice!Alligator Commando!You are all heroes!

The "Chinese Hero News" sells well every day, and today it is even more expensive in Luoyang, because the news report published today can be called a "legendary" and it has to be amazed. The military department was even more interested, because this news report involved an unheard of military operation, and the great powers were extremely curious about what method the Chinese Navy's "alligator commando" used.

Of course, the "Chinese Hero News" was vague about this and did not disclose specific details, but the general description of the battle process is still very attractive, and readers are all amazed. The report describes it like this:

"...The captain of the 'Alligator Commando' is a naval lieutenant named Bu Xiao. For the time being, we don't know the detailed resume of Lieutenant Bu Xiao, and we don't even know his appearance, but there is no doubt that he is a Excellent, extraordinary, outstanding, shrewd and capable, wise and brave junior naval officers, under his leadership, the commando members successfully sneaked into the battleship Mutsu of the Japanese Navy, which was bombarding Nanjing City wantonly on the Yangtze River. , at present, we neither know nor disclose how Bu Xiao and other warriors achieved this, and at the same time neither know nor disclose the number of members of the "Alligator Commando" that sneaked into the Mutsu, the fundamental key Yes, Bu Xiao and other warriors achieved the perfect success of this unprecedented military operation by relying on their courage, wisdom, and meticulous thinking! Bu Xiao and other warriors must be the elite of our navy. They are fully armed, armed to the teeth, After they successfully sneaked into the Mutsu, they were invincible and invincible, as if they were in no man's land.

Here, we need to introduce the Mutsu.

The Japanese Navy currently has 10 battleships, the most powerful being the Nagato and the Mutsu of the same level. The Nagato is also the flagship of the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy. One of the big ships, these two ships are not only an important part of Japan's national strength and the military strength of the Japanese Navy, but also a spiritual symbol of the Japanese people, and they can be called Japan's "artifacts of the country".
