Chapter 586: Sinking the 'Mountain City'
Chapter 586 Sinking the 'Mountain City' Second Subscription Request
The Yamashiro may have had a bad year today, but just as it was turning around and preparing to slip away, there was a sudden series of huge earthquakes in the hull of the ship - the huge hull actually began to tilt. This phenomenon not only dumbfounded the Japanese army, but also the Wehrmacht soldiers were a little incredulous. You know, this is a strategic-class battleship, and it is really possible to be sunk if it is tilted.
The sudden roll of the Yamashiro attracted everyone's attention. You must know that this is a battleship, a well-deserved giant on the sea, and it is the pinnacle of the current world navy. Since the birth of the Super Dreadnought, there has been no record of a single sinking yet. If the Yamashiro were sunk here, it would have caused a sensation in the world.
"Immediately call Oishi Masayoshi Daisa, what happened to the Yamashiro?" Lieutenant General of the Mountain House roared loudly. He had a sense of foreboding, but he didn't want to admit it. Although the Fuso-class battleship was not the most advanced battleship of the Great Japanese Empire, it was Japan's first real super dreadnought, with thick armor and strong combat effectiveness. It was also the appearance of the Fuso-class battleships that made the Japanese Navy a world naval power. If the Fuso-class battleship was sunk in an engagement with the Chinese Navy, the responsibility arising from this incident was definitely not something that others in the mountain house could bear.
Lieutenant General Yamaya hoped that the Yamashiro would not have problems. But this time luck is again on the side of China. The captain of the Yamashiro, Masashi Oshi, did not generate electricity, and chose to talk directly to the Fuso on the phone.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the Yamashiro ...... I'm afraid the Yamashiro is really going to sink! Oishi Masayoshi said with some tears. The person who was able to become the captain of a super battleship was definitely one of the best people in the Japanese Navy, and such a person would not be where he is today even if he did not have a strong will, not to mention crying. Now that Oishi Masakichi Daisa is saying this, it can only show that the Yamashiro is really dangerous.
"Yaga, what the hell is going on?" Lieutenant General of the Mountain House shouted loudly.
"When we were turning, we were hit by a Chinese torpedo."
"Torpedoes? Yaga, even if it was hit by a torpedo, with the thickness of the armor of the Yamashiro, it should not have flipped so quickly. Yamaya said in disbelief. If a single torpedo can send a battleship to the bottom of the sea as a strategic deterrent, then the battleship does not have the prestige it has now. To read the latest chapter of this book, please search on Baidu: This kind of thing is not only not believed by others in the mountain house, but also by everyone else.
"We were concentrated not by one, but by five, two of which hit almost the same place, and this blew through the bottom of the ship." Speaking of this, Masayoshi Oishi was also full of depression in his heart. After all, the battleship is so large, and it is still moving, the probability of two torpedoes hitting the same place at the same time is extremely low. But it is this seemingly impossible thing that is actually happening right in front of our eyes.
"Damn it!" Yamaya also felt super depressed. This kind of thing was encountered by the Imperial Japanese Army. The luck of the Chinese is also too good.
"Your Excellency, Commander, we are concentrating all our men to plug the hole below, but the effect is not good, the battleship has already flipped sideways, and I don't know if we can plug the gap." Oishi Masayoshi said in a low voice. Such frustrating words have the effect of disturbing the morale of the Japanese army, and if the situation is really at a very critical moment now, Oishi Masayoshi Osa will definitely not choose to talk directly to Lieutenant General Yamaya. The impact of the sinking of a battleship in the middle of the sea was simply too great. This responsibility is not something that anyone can carry if they want to.
"Masayoshi Oishi, I don't care what method you use, even if you fill it for me with human life, you have to plug the gap in the bottom of the ship. The battleships of the Great Japanese Empire must not be sunk here. Lieutenant General of the Mountain House roared loudly. …,
On the Beijing ship.
"Something is wrong with the Yamashiro, and all the firepower is ordered to concentrate on attacking the Yamashiro. Ma Lu, let's stop the Japanese Fuso. Kill a super battleship! Imagination is exciting. Zhang Chaoqun certainly has reason to be excited. With its third-rate naval power, China fought almost four times the strength of the Japanese navy. But judging by the results, none of the four Japanese battleships were damaged, and the number of cruisers and destroyers sunk exceeded thirty. Such a loss was a huge loss even for the largest fleet in Asia with the Japanese Combined Fleet. If, of course, the Yamashiro is sunk. That would be able to inflict heavy damage on the Japanese Navy and damage the vitality of the Japanese Navy.
"Commander, just look at it!" Ma Lu was also excited. Under Ma Lu's orders, the Chinese navy, which was mixed with armed merchant ships, slowly separated and circled around the Beijing, launching a fierce attack on the Fusang.
After all, it is a super battleship, even if it tilts, but I am afraid it will be difficult to sink in the whole time, and there is no big problem with the power of the Yamashiro, even if the hull is tilted, the Yamashiro is also advancing, but the speed is not small because of the draft problem of the hull.
Boom Boom!
The Fuso heavy artillery roared wildly, and the ship's secondary guns also fired fiercely. Originally, the Fuso still had reservations about ammunition. After all, it is very close to Qingdao, China, and the Chinese Air Force can return to the airport in the shortest possible time to replenish fuel and weapons. In the event of another bombing, there is no guarantee that the Chinese Air Force will not target the Fuso. The matter of being burned to the barbecue, Lieutenant General Yamaya didn't want to bear it.
Boom!
The Fusang's main gun landed accurately on the deck of the Beijing. A huge explosion was produced. The deck of the Beijing was instantly punctured, several departments were blown up, and many soldiers were killed and wounded. The most important thing is that the two twin-engine main guns near the deck have pressed the cargo. The only fortunate thing was that the ammunition room of the Beijing was not hit, and naturally there was no martyrdom. However, the power room was not so lucky, although this shell did not directly hit the power room, but fell in the power room mutiny, the strong vibration seriously affected the power of the Beijing, which could have maintained its value of about 23 knots, and the speed dropped to below 20 knots again.
"Damn it!" Zhang Chaoqun looked at the Fusang with an ugly face, which turned to fire at the armed merchant ship. In his heart, he thought about whether to choose a new method of warfare.
"Commander, judging from the tilt of the Yamashiro, there must be a problem with the bottom of the ship on its left side, and the cruisers Yokoyama and Dingdong have all produced news. The torpedo they fired must have hit the Yamashiro when it was turning. This would explain why the Yamashiro suddenly flipped on its side. We can do our best to launch a torpedo attack, and if the left side of it is torpedoed, it is not impossible for them to sink quickly. Ma Lu analyzed.
"Yes, immediately send a telegram to the ships, so that the ships will abandon the shelling and concentrate on the use of torpedo attacks." There are currently only 14 Chinese warships, including the Beijing, left. Eight of them were destroyers, five cruisers, one battleship. Torpedoes can be fired here, and there are plenty of torpedoes on board. When the armed merchant ships came, they carried sufficient supplies for the naval formation, which is why the Chinese naval warships fought here and still had enough ammunition.
White waves broke out on the surface of the sea, and more than a dozen torpedoes fanned towards the Yamashiri.
"Report to Your Excellency Commander, a large number of torpedoes have occurred in the Zhong** ship Xiangshancheng!"
"Immediately launch a torpedo to block it, and at the same time telegraph the Yamashiro to quickly evade." After knowing that there was no problem with the power of the Yamashiro, Lieutenant General Yamaya breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. After all, if the power is not a problem, it will be able to keep moving at all times and avoid underwater torpedoes fired by the enemy. ..., although the Fuso reminded in time, also fired torpedoes, and successfully knocked out a few, but still rushed towards the Yamashiro more than ten, and the second wave of torpedoes of the Chinese Navy has also been launched. Beneath the surface of the sea is still treacherous.
As the water entered more and more, the speed of the Yamashiro was also affected more and more, and the winding roll had exceeded ten degrees. The Yamashiro managed to avoid the first wave of torpedoes. But no matter how much you move, you can't avoid the second wave. Masasa Oishi tried to adjust the hull to avoid the damaged hull. But in the end, it didn't work out. One of the torpedoes fired by the Wehrmacht hit exactly that area. This made the efforts of the Japanese engineers come to naught in an instant, and even the gap in the bottom of the ship was even larger.
Third Wave ......
Fourth wave!
By the time the fifth wave of torpedoes was launched, the hapless Yamashiro had rolled more than 30 degrees, and the roll speed was getting faster and faster.
Airplanes......
At this time, a roar sounded in the sky, and the Chinese plane appeared again.
"Yaga!" The lieutenant general of the mountain house raised his head to the sky and shouted.
"Your Excellency Commander, Masakichi Oishi has sent a farewell point, asking for coexistence with the Yamashiro and the evacuation of the Fuso."
Lieutenant General Yamaya's face turned red, and then began to turn white.
Poof!
A mouthful of blood spurted out, but the faces of the other lieutenant generals in the mountain house looked better.
"Let's evacuate!" Following the order of Lieutenant General Yamaya, the Fuso quickly turned and rushed towards the depths of the sea.
At the same time, in order to stop the pursuit of the Chinese naval formation and the bombing of high-altitude bombers, the Yamashiro no longer cared about the loopholes in the bottom of the ship, and drove Mary towards the Chinese naval formation.
"Order all ships to retreat immediately, and see the last madness of the Yamashiro." After the hull exceeded 30 degrees, the Yamashiro no longer rolled, but the launching line was much higher, and everyone knew that the inside of the Yamashiro was seriously flooded, and it could not sink for long. At this time, naturally no one will go to look for death. Little Japan is clearly going to pull a few pads on the verge of death. The Chinese Navy is not so stupid.
The bomber formation also saw this situation, the flight captain immediately made a decision, and the Chinese planes immediately became two groups, one to carry out the final bombing of the mountain city below, delaying its final madness, and the other two pursued the Fusang, even if he escaped, let him taste the power of the Chinese Air Force!
