6.55 Yaeyama

Rear Admiral Tanimoto Mataro, commander of the 11th Sentai of the Japanese Navy on the "Yaeyama", was wounded in the second round of attack by the squadron of the torpedo boats of the Bun Tensho, and when the "Yaeyama" hit the gunboat "Toba", Rear Admiral Tanimoto Mataro's head hit the hard bulkhead, and was fired at that time, and the bloodied Rear Admiral Tanimoto Mataro was in a terrible mood at the moment, and his fleet had already found that the opponent who had caused them heavy losses was nothing more than a few torpedo boats of very small tonnage!

The 11th team has so far lost 2 gunboats and a transport ship, and it is only a matter of time before the "Anzhai", which the captain has ordered to abandon the ship, sinks, and these 4 ships are larger than the total tonnage of torpedo boats dispatched by the Chinese! This time, Team 11 is at a big loss!

Careless! If it weren't for the lax precautions at night, how could it have caused the tragedy it is today?

Major General Tanimoto Mataro is too late to regret it now......

The Japanese Navy has been progressing too smoothly recently, they first used air superiority in Jiangyin to completely annihilate the main fleet of the Chinese Navy, and then broke through the Zhenjiang Fortress operated by the Nanjing government for many years, if it were not for the Zhenjiang Fortress was blocked by the batteries here, the warships of the 11th Sentai may have appeared on the river near Nanjing by now, this series of victories made the officers and men of the Japanese Navy up and down become invincible, in fact, the flagship of the 3rd Fleet "Izumo" The sinking of the ship did not take long to happen, but the officers and men of the Japanese Navy had begun to selectively forget the tragedy, and the construction of a new "Izumo" was also started in Japan, and this time the battleship with the name "Izumo" would be a battleship!

All of this seemed to indicate that the good days of the Japanese Navy had just begun, and in the face of the almost annihilated Chinese Navy and the skies that had long been controlled by the Japanese Air Force, the 11th Sentai really couldn't think of anything else that could threaten them, and finally even the usually cautious Rear Admiral Yatamoto Mataro began to relax. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The main generals began to relax, and the officers and men of the lower levels of the navy became even more unscrupulous, and they moored the battleships horizontally and vertically on the surface of the Sanjiang Camp without any formation, and the 11th team waited for the air force to solve the nail of the Yuanshanguan Fort, and then they could cooperate with the army to capture the Zhenjiang fortress, and then the next thing was Nanjing!

As a result, tonight's ambitions of the 11th team have come to naught! Even if it sank all the incoming Chinese Navy torpedo boats, the 11th team lost this battle!

Rear Admiral Tanimoto's face was as black as charcoal, and the naval officers on the bridge didn't even dare to lean over to help Rear Admiral Tanimoto Mataro stop the blood from his wounds, they knew that whoever talked to Rear Admiral Tanimoto Mataro now would be on the head, and the officers on the "Yaeyama" all chose to be silent and golden.

The cultural quality of the Japanese Navy is much higher than that of the Army, so Rear Admiral Tanimoto Mataro does not need to deal with the crazy subordinates who shout for shame, and the captains and officers of his 11th Sentai are quietly waiting for his orders!

"Sink them! Catch up and sink them! This is our last chance! The honor of Team 11 is here! A torpedo boat without torpedoes is a small raft! Even the secondary guns on our warships are capable of smashing them to smithereens! The whole team turns! Hunt down those Chinese! ”

Rear Admiral Tanimoto Mataro's face was hideous when he said these words, coupled with the blood stains on his face, he was like a demon running out of hell, and the Japanese naval officers who received the order began to convey Rear Admiral Tanimoto Mataro's orders to other warships, and the gunners on the deck were already busy, and countless shells were fired at the Chinese torpedo boats in the distance, but unfortunately they did not receive any effect.

Rear Admiral Tanimoto Mataro now dreams that his naval gunners can be powerful and hit the target before the Chinese Navy escapes, you must know that the torpedo boats are originally high-speed ships, and Tanimoto Mataro's gunboats can't catch up even if they are chasing at full speed, not to mention that the warships of the 11th Sentai have just anchored, so as long as the Chinese Navy escapes from the range of the 11th Sentinel's naval guns, then he can only watch the Chinese torpedo boats in a hurry!

As soon as this emotion was excited, the wound on Major General Tanimoto Mataro's head began to bleed out again, this time he didn't insist anymore, and took the initiative to call a military doctor, the main reason why Major General Tanimoto did this was that if he didn't get treatment again, he would be dying.

Rear Admiral Tanimoto Mataro's head was quickly wrapped with gauze, and the gunners of the ships still had nothing to gain during this time, Rear Admiral Tanimoto Mataro looked at his watch, as long as it took a few more minutes, his fleet would lose the chance for revenge forever, thinking of this, Rear Admiral Tanimoto Mataro closed his eyes in pain.

"Your Excellency, Commander! The Chinese torpedo boat turned around! They're back! At this time, the gunner Hasegawa Shozo suddenly discovered a new situation, and he excitedly said loudly to Major General Mataro Asayamoto.

Major General Tanimoto Mattaro couldn't believe his ears, and the Chinese turned back? Haven't they already had a brilliant record? Why don't you retreat in a hurry? What do you want to do with these torpedo boats without torpedoes? All this is so unreasonable!

Major General Tanimoto Mataro jumped up from his position, he was going to personally confirm the report of the gunner, Shozo Hasegawa, but the poor military doctor had not had time to cut the gauze on the head of Major General Tanimoto Mataro, he could only take the gauze roll and follow Major General Tanimoto to the bridge together.

From the binoculars, Rear Admiral Tanimoto Mataro saw the Chinese torpedo boats coming at high speed, and then the searchlights of the fleet and the fire of the shells exploding, Rear Admiral Tanimoto Mataro saw clearly the number of torpedo boats of the Chinese Navy, a total of four!

It's good to be back! Be sure to sink them!

Rear Admiral Tanimoto Mataro immediately ordered the gunboats of the 11th Sentai to rush head-on, and the anti-aircraft machine guns on the Chinese torpedo boats could not help the gunboats of the 11th Sentai at all, in the eyes of Rear Admiral Tanimoto Mataro, the commander of the Chinese torpedo boat formation was turning over a mistake, a big mistake in favor of the 11th Sentenglas!

The corners of Maj. Gen. Tanimoto's mouth began to turn up, and a smile appeared on his face......

*************************************************

Because there was only a torpedo in the torpedo tube on the right side, the Wen 171 boat had a serious tilt, Liu Gongdi asked the gunner Gan Taixin to dismantle the anti-aircraft machine gun and depth charges on the left side of the torpedo boat and throw them into the river, and then he ordered the personnel on the boat to stand on the left side as much as possible, so that the balance of the torpedo boat was restored somewhat, and the deputy squadron leader Huang Yunbai personally drove the Wen 171 boat to drill around flexibly in the shells of the Japanese ship, Liu Gongdi stared at the torpedo himself, he still hoped to repair it.

The firepower of the Japanese fleet began to become dense, which shows that the devil has adjusted from the initial hurry, the target of the torpedo boat is too big after all, I am afraid it will be difficult to break through the close blockade line of the Japanese fleet, the hull of the Wen 171 boat is too thin, even a small-caliber shell is not something it can withstand.

Liu Gongdi, who had been busy next to the torpedo tube for a long time, looked up and saw that the Wen 42, Wen 93, and Wen 88 boats had also turned their bows and followed behind the Wen 171 boat, which was simply nonsense! Now it's time to find devils desperately, and the Wen No. 42, Wen No. 93, and Wen No. 88 boats that have already finished their torpedoes are here to join in the fun?

Liu Gongdi stood up and desperately waved his hand at the three torpedo boats behind him, he meant to let the Wen No. 42, Wen No. 93, and Wen No. 88 boats return, but the three boats behind not only did not turn, but accelerated to catch up with the Wen No. 171 boat.

Liu Gongdi was anxious, he shouted loudly at the nearest Wen 93 boat, and Wu Shirong, the captain of the Wen 93 boat, just smiled and said nothing. Chen Puxing's Wen No. 42 was inserted in front of Liu Gongdi's Wen 171 boat in a sprint, and Wen No. 88 boat rushed to the left side of Wen 171 boat.

Wen No. 42, Wen No. 93, and Wen No. 88 boats formed a zigzag barrier, blocking Liu Gongdi's Wen No. 171 boat behind!

Liu Gongdi understands everything now!

His old subordinates were going to escort his Wen 171 boat through the fire blockade of the Japanese fleet, and the three torpedo boats that had run out of torpedoes did not choose to retreat, they wanted to be with their squadron leader!

Since they have no offensive ability, then they should be the shields of the Wen 171 boat!

Wen Tianxiang's squadron, there is not a single officer and soldier who is afraid of death!

Liu Gongdi couldn't control his tears anymore, he let the tears flow unscrupulously on his cheeks!

"Yaeyama"! Lao Tzu is here! The Chinese Navy is coming!

************************************************

The four torpedo boats of Wen Tianxiang's squadron were moving forward in the face of the artillery fire of the 11th squadron of the Japanese Navy, and Rear Admiral Tanimoto Mataro, who was standing on the bridge of the "Yaeyama", suddenly felt that something was wrong!

His smile began to freeze!

Why did the Chinese stand in front of one torpedo boat with three torpedo boats? What are they protecting? Could it be that the protected torpedo boat still has torpedoes?

Shouldn't it? The warships of the 11th Squadron had already fallen into disarray under the torpedo attack of the Chinese Navy, so how could the commander of the torpedo boat of the Chinese Navy not use all the torpedoes? This is a mistake that beginners don't make either!

From the shutdown and ruthlessness of the Chinese Navy's torpedo boat attacks, as well as the operation of the water during their retreat, Rear Admiral Tanimoto Mataro did not think that he was facing a group of novices!

So what are these Chinese going to do when they come back now?

Are they going to fight with anti-aircraft machine guns on torpedo boats and the naval guns of the 11 Sentai Corps? Unless these Chinese Navy are a bunch of crazy people it is possible to do such a thing!

Major General Tanimoto Mataro, who was mentally trapped in a labyrinth, began to tear the gauze on his head with his hands, and the military doctor standing next to him watched Major-General Tanimoto Mataro's movements very nervously.

This poor military doctor was already using his expertise to judge whether it was possible that Major General Tanimoto Mataro had injured his brain in the impact, and judging from the current behavior of Major General Tanimoto Mataro, it was very likely.

Rear Admiral Tanimoto Mataro raised his telescope again, he still wanted to find the answer with his eyes, the command of the naval guns did not have to worry about him, the 11th squadron, which had suffered unprecedented losses, was now at full fire, all the naval guns that could reach the range were firing at the Chinese torpedo boats, as the distance between the two sides approached and the secondary artillery appeared, Major General Tanimoto Mataro believed that his men would not let him down!

Among the four torpedo boats of Wen Tianxiang's squadron, the first to be shot was the Wen No. 42 boat at the front of the queue, Chen Puxing's torpedo boat was directly hit by a shell from the Japanese Navy, fortunately the dazed Japanese naval gun shooter actually used an armor-piercing shell, and the shell drilled a big hole directly in the tail of the Wen No. 42 boat, and the Wen No. 42 boat escaped the fate of being crushed, but the injured Wen No. 42 boat began to inevitably fall behind.

After a few minutes, the Wen 88 boat was also hit by Japanese shells, this time hitting the Chinese 88 boat was a grenade, the bow of the Wen 88 boat was directly bombarded, and Liu Gongdi saw his subordinates floating on the river holding wooden chips.

Liu Gongdi used the flag language to tell the officers and men of the Wen No. 42 boat that had fallen behind to deal with the officers and men who had fallen into the water, and after receiving a reply from Chen Puxing, the captain of the Wen No. 42 boat, Liu Gongdi turned into the wheelhouse and took over the rudder.

Now that the Wen 171 boat has approached the Japanese ship, the secondary guns and machine guns of the devil warship have begun to appear, and the bullet rain around the Wen 171 boat is getting denser and denser, and several times they have brushed shoulders with death!

Losing the cover of the two torpedo boats, the figure of the Wen 171 boat was completely exposed to the eyes of the commander of the 11th Sentai of the Japanese Navy, Rear Admiral Tanimoto Mataro, who finally discovered that the draft on the right side of the Wen 171 boat was deeper than the left side, which showed that there was a heavy object on the right side of the Wen 171 boat!

Torpedo! It must be a torpedo! And certainly a torpedo that cannot be fired!

It turned out that one of the torpedo tubes of one of the Chinese's torpedo boats failed, which explains why there was still a torpedo left on the Chinese's torpedo boat after the previous such advantageous fighters! It's not that the commander of the Chinese Navy's torpedo boats doesn't want to launch, but they can't launch at all, perhaps because they are unwilling, these four torpedo boats that had been planned to evacuate have turned back, and it seems that these returning Chinese torpedo boats have long planned to use this last torpedo to ram the Japanese Navy's warships!

So three more torpedo boats without torpedoes will stand in front of this torpedo boat! Because they only have this one and only weapon!

All the irrational things are finally coherent!

Now only one last question remains, which Japanese ship is the target of this Chinese torpedo boat to ram?

Major General Mataro Tanimoto suddenly fought a cold war when he thought of this!

Don't...... It's Yaeyama!

"Left full rudder! High-speed evasion! Inform the gunboats on both sides! Cover the flagship! The Chinese are going to launch suicide attacks! ”

When Rear Admiral Tanimoto Mataro said this, he actually made a chicken sound, and the Japanese naval officers on the "Yaeyama" immediately took action!

The gunner, Hasegawa Shaosa, ran directly to the stern gun position of the "Yaeyama", and he pushed away the gunners who had been busy until now and had nothing to do, and went into battle in person.

Realizing that his flagship was in danger, the rest of the Japanese ships also began to act, the Wen 171 boat became the target of the Japanese ship's artillery fire, Liu Gongdi calmly drove the Wen 171 boat to avoid the Japanese naval gun's fire, and the Wen 171 boat and the "Yaeyama" are getting closer and closer!

"Bastard! Bastard! Stop that Chinese torpedo boat! Kill it! ”

Rear Admiral Mataro Tanimoto began to shout hysterically, the figure of the Wen 171 boat has become bigger and bigger, and the "Yaeyama" will soon be unable to run away!

"Boom! Rumble! Rear Admiral Tanimoto Mataro, who had begun to feel hopeless, suddenly saw two shells fall on the body of the Wen 171 boat, and he excitedly broke off the gauze on his head, and when he found that the wound began to bleed again, he thought of looking for a military doctor, but Rear Admiral Tanimoto Mataro looked back and found that the military doctor who had been standing next to him had long since disappeared.

"Coward! When I sink the Chinese torpedo boats, I must make you look good! "Due to the pain of the wound, Major General Tanimoto Mataro gritted his teeth when he spoke.

The Chinese No. 171 boat was hit by two machine shells, the power of the explosion and shnelage swept the wheelhouse and deck of the Wen No. 171 boat, Liu Gongdi was hit in the head by shrapnel, bleeding profusely, the officers and men on the boat were either killed or wounded, the gunner Gan Taixin's left leg below the knee was blown up with bloody flesh and blood, deputy squadron leader Huang Yunbai's right hand was missing three fingers, the hull began to catch fire, fortunately the engine has not stopped, the torpedo boat is still moving forward at high speed.

Blood trickled down from the top of Liu Gongdi's head, quickly blocking his vision, Liu Gongdi picked up a piece of oil-stained gauze on the bridge and wiped it on his face, his whole face turned into a blood gourd, Liu Gongdi spit the deck, and then shouted loudly: "Brothers! The Yaeyama is just ahead! I'll take care of the rest! Jump ship! Wen No. 42 and Wen No. 93 are still there! The Navy needs you seeds! ”

Deputy Squadron Leader Huang Yunbai threw himself beside Liu Gongdi and shouted, "Squadron Leader! Let's go! Our squadron can't live without you! Leave the boat to me! ”

Liu Gongdi looked at Huang Yunbai, the blood on his head flowed down again, Liu Gongdi's vision had completely turned red, he suddenly laughed, Huang Yunbai still wanted to continue to persuade Liu Gongdi, at this time Liu Gongdi suddenly said to Huang Yunbai: "Yunbai! Our brothers for so many years, when did you talk about me? Your brother and I are a person who admits death, so you let me be stubborn to the end! ”

"But... You can't......" Huang Yunbai's voice had turned into a cry.

"Yunbai, my left arm is useless, even if I survive, I have to go home, I can't live that kind of life, I'm a navy! If I can't stay on the water, I don't feel like I'm alive at all! That's where I belong! ”

After speaking, Liu Gongdi stretched out his left arm to the "Yaeshan" in front of him, what kind of arm was that, only a few tendons and blood vessels were exposed at the elbow joint, and Liu Gongdi's forearm was completely gone!

"Squadron Leader!!"

"Roll !!"

With tears in his eyes, Huang Yunbai jumped off the Wen No. 171 boat with the gunner Gan Taixin and another unconscious sailor, the cold river water froze him almost immediately, Huang Yunbai's right hand with only two fingers left was really unable to catch the unconscious sailor, as soon as the hand was released, his brother disappeared into the Yangtze River!

Huang Yunbai cried loudly! For his brother, and for his squadron leader!

The Wen 171 boat accurately collided with the flagship of the 11th Sentai of the Japanese Navy's 3rd Fleet, the Yaeyama, and Rear Admiral Tanimoto Mataro's flagship soon began to tilt, and then sank directly to the bottom of the river!

Huang Yunbai and Gan Taixin were rescued by Wu Shirong's Wen No. 93, the gunner Gan Taixin died of his injuries, and the deputy squadron leader Huang Yunbai survived.

Chen Puxing's Wen 42 boat was scrapped after returning to Nanjing, and Wen Tianxiang's squadron only had Wen 93, the last torpedo boat, left, but their fire was reborn!

Sad! Navy! Strong! Navy!
