Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal
Chapter 244: Sea Route 4
The Japanese army's transport ship was quickly beaten to pieces. In order to confirm that the ship would sink to the bottom, the destroyer Kikuzuki fired a few more shots. The river was littered with debris and Japanese corpses. Now even if Amaterasu came, she could not protect the ship.
After sinking this target, the destroyer Kikuzuki immediately accelerated and rushed towards the next target.
The Japanese fleet was completely stunned, this is real!
"It's over, it's completely over!"
Major General Yanze murmured.
"wrong!"
He suddenly thought of something, grabbed the microphone again and shouted, "No! You are not Colonel Kotake and Hong at all! Who are you? Why did you rob the Empire's warships and stir up the relationship between the Empire's navy and the army!"
Major General Shiozawa also reacted quickly. He knew Colonel Kotake and Colonel Hiroshi. Although they were somewhat radical among naval officers, they were not radical enough to fire at friendly forces.
He felt that the disappearance of the Kikuzuki destroyer was probably because it was captured by the enemy. The enemy used unknown means to drive the Kikuzuki destroyer into the Yangtze River and bombard the army, with the aim of provoking conflicts between the navy and the army!
No wonder he could become a rear admiral. His mind worked very quickly and he figured out the whole thing in an instant.
"Baga! How dare you stir up trouble between the Empire's navy and the Empire's land? I will definitely catch you and bring you to justice!"
Major General Shiozawa shouted these words regardless of the consequences. He hoped that the army's radio could hear his words and make the army suspicious about the naval bombardment. In this way, the army might use its rusty brains and not do anything extreme to make the situation worse.
On the destroyer Kikuzuki, the instructor held the microphone and looked at Colonel Kotake and Colonel Hiro with a smile.
"Xiao Zhu, there will be no script next. You have to play freely and think carefully about how to mobilize the conflict between the sea and the land to the greatest extent. Don't worry, I am a very open-minded person. As long as you don't talk nonsense, no one will blame you~"
After he finished speaking, he let go of the microphone. Xiaozhu and Hongda's bodies trembled, their brains worked rapidly, and it took them a while to put their mouths close to the microphone.
"Major General Yanze, I know what you are thinking. There is no need to doubt my identity. Many people have heard my voice. You know that I am who I am.
The revolution cannot be stopped once it begins. The Empire's navy and army are two powder kegs. The best strategy is to ignite them before more barrels pile up, so that the destructive power of the explosion will be minimized!"
Rear Admiral Shiozawa didn't listen to what he said at all. He just shouted angrily into the microphone: "You are not Colonel Kotake Kazuhiro at all! You are a thief who stole the Imperial battleship! You can't mess with the relationship between the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Army! Stop all actions immediately, otherwise the fleet will sink you immediately!"
After shouting this, he didn't wait and immediately ordered everyone to fire! He wanted to let the army see his attitude as soon as possible.
The warships of the Japanese fleet that had firing angles raised their gun barrels, aimed at the distant destroyer Kikuzuki and fired shells. For a moment, artillery fire rang out at sea, and shells fell on the river surface and exploded huge columns of water.
But at this time, the Kikuzuki destroyer was more than 8km away from them, and it was a fast ship with a maximum speed of 36 knots, so the Japanese artillery shells could not hit it at all.
"Damn it! Let our destroyers catch up and destroy it. We must destroy it!"
Major General Yan Ze gave orders loudly, and these orders were transmitted everywhere through the unencrypted radio channels. He hoped that the army would hear his voice and not do anything out of line. There were 9 ground troops on the ground in Songhu now, and he would not be able to withstand this force if it went crazy.
The two destroyers turned their hulls around and tried to catch up with the Kikuzuki, but the Kikuzuki itself was the fastest among the destroyers, and there was still a distance of 8km between them. How could the latecomers possibly catch up?
However, what the Kikuzuki would do next would require time and space, so the captain Li Ruinian immediately ordered the launching of mines.
There are two mine laying devices at the rear of the Kikuzuki, which can place 5x2 groups of 10 mines everywhere.
Ten mines were thrown into the river, and they floated downstream along with the water.
“Deployment is complete!”
A punitive marine contacted Li Ruinian using mind sharing. Li Ruinian nodded and whispered something in the ears of Xiaozhu and Colonel Hong.
Colonel Kotake and Colonel Hiroshi expressed their understanding and took the microphone again and said, "My dear colleagues, I know you have to pursue this ship, but this ship has made up its mind and will not surrender before fulfilling its final destiny. Please give me this opportunity.
Just now, our ship has launched all the mines onto the river. These mines will float downstream. Please dodge them as quickly as possible and do not let the ship be damaged. The empire will still need your service in the future!"
When the Japanese heard that the mines were floating down the river, they immediately started cursing. Each damn mine had three or four hundred kilograms of explosives, and their destroyers were small in size, so if they encountered one, they would have to fight the Dragon King.
The two pursuing destroyers immediately turned around and fled to the mouth of the Yangtze River. The Japanese fleet was also in a panic. More than 30 of their warships were crowded at the Wusong Fort. If just one mine was not intercepted, the consequences would be catastrophic.
Rear Admiral Shiozawa ordered the destroyers to move forward and use heavy machine guns to blow up the mines, and other large ships to withdraw from the river mouth to prevent any fish from slipping through the net.
Just as Rear Admiral Shiozawa gave the order to retreat, he suddenly felt the Izumo's hull shake violently, followed by a burst of explosions and the sound of metal tearing.
"Ah! Where are the cannons firing? Fire back immediately!"
Major General Shiozawa's first thought was that the mines of the Kikuzuki had teleported over, but when he heard the explosion, it was obvious that someone was firing at them.
His second thought was that the heavy artillery hidden by the Punishment Army had shown its power, but then another shell hit the Izumo. It sounded so powerful that it didn't look like heavy artillery. It should be a land artillery of about 100mm, which posed a limited threat to the battleship.
The Japanese gunners were very professional. They quickly locked onto the direction of the enemy's artillery fire. In fact, they didn't need to make careful calculations, because there were four 4mm guns placed on the shore, aiming their muzzles at them and firing shells right under their noses.
"Enemy artillery is on the shore!"
A Japanese officer shouted, and Major General Yanze turned his head and saw with his naked eyes the flames from the four cannons on the shore firing.
"Destroy them immediately!"
Major General Yan Ze was furious. Not only did you dare to attack the fleet with four land guns, but you also dared to push it to the shore and fire under their noses. You were really giving them face!
Major General Yan Ze stared at the four land guns, wanting to see the beautiful scene of them being destroyed by the fleet's powerful firepower, but the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong. These four guns... seemed to be set up in the area controlled by their own army?
He hurriedly approached the telescopic equipment and saw that the gunners were a group of little men in shit-yellow military uniforms. His pupils suddenly shrank and he shouted, "Don't fire! Don't fire! The enemy is the army!"
