"Still want to run? You can't run! Zhong Shuqian, who was staring at the periscope again, looked at the three cargo ships in front of him and shouted excitedly in his heart.

As soon as the submarine was discovered, Lieutenant Commander Kano Kokuhan, who was on the Nagatsuru Maru, directly ordered the Masashin and Miyashin Maru to come up. Immediately after seeing that both destroyers had been torpedoed, his order was to march at full speed in a horizontal formation.

Now the sky was faintly bright, and the fire of the destroyer's explosion in the distance reflected the four submarines on the sea, faintly visible. If you want to fight, there is no hope of victory at all, and it is the best choice to escape as soon as possible.

"Chase!" Ryusi commanded.

Because the position of the attacking destroyer was near the Shoshin in the middle, after firing a torpedo, the Yakoli immediately turned around and began to pursue Nagatsuru Maru at the front.

When the angle and position were not adjusted, the number did not want to waste this torpedo attack.

The Jing Ke who fell behind simply adjusted the angle and aimed at the Gong Xin Pill that rushed to the vicinity, and the Zhuzhu on the other side also aimed at the Gong Xin Pill at the same time. In the battle plan, after eliminating the threat of escort destroyers, the elimination of devils is the first goal, and equipment or something is secondary.

Miyashinmaru was rushing forward as hard as it could, and it kept making evasive moves while rushing, shaking the two soldiers on the deck to the sea.

With a loud "boom", its left rear side was hit by the Jing Ke, and the torpedo fired by the Zhuan Zhu also hit it. The latter torpedo hit the power compartment directly, causing an even larger explosion. Some of the devil soldiers who had just dived into the water couldn't dodge, and they were suddenly engulfed in the splashing flames.

The departure ship had already adjusted its sailing direction, and the torpedo tubes in front of it were also aimed at the Changhe, which was about 1,000 meters and 100 meters ahead. The maximum speed of the Nagatsuru after full starting, regardless of losses, is 13 knots, which is about the same as the speed of 13 knots on the surface of the Type 2B submarine. If you want to leave the number, you don't have to worry, and you follow it tightly. The afterburner submarine was obviously a little faster than the Long Crane, and this little bit was enough to slowly catch up with the bulky Long Crane.

At this time, the other three submarines also adjusted their course and slowly caught up. The devil soldiers who fell into the water, with no one to rescue them, could only wait for death in the icy waters.

It was already less than eight hundred meters away from the Long Crane, and because it didn't have to worry too much about the counterattack of the cargo ship, it leaned forward again.

"Put!" Seeing that it was almost there, he released a torpedo.

Seeing the long white waterline coming straight at him, the soldiers on the ship panicked, and some of the soldiers who had prepared life-saving equipment had already touched the side of the ship.

The commander of the 30th Brigade, Jiro Yuhara, let out a wail in his heart, and his eyes were fixed on the white line on the sea getting closer and closer, and finally pointed to the middle of the hull of the Nagazuru.

"God is dead to me!" Jiro Yuhara lamented this time, a large number of soldiers crowded on the ship but there was nothing to do, and the feeling of powerlessness made him a little depressed.

The people on the boat also grabbed the fixes next to them to prepare for the impact and explosion of the torpedoes, and some of the soldiers had already begun to jump into the water. It is difficult for the cargo ship to survive a torpedo blow, and the whirlpool that rises up when it sinks will swallow people who flee not far to the bottom of the sea. For this reason, some people only want to escape as soon as possible, but neglect the icy waters.

In fact, the low temperature of seawater is the most lethal for people who are active in the water.

Ordinary people wear ordinary clothes and remain still, and the survival time in seawater, seawater below 0 degrees Celsius, can only tolerate a few minutes; 2 degrees of sea water, also only 15 minutes; 5 degrees of sea water, also up to 60 minutes. At the beginning of March, the water temperature of the Bohai Sea was absolutely no more than 5 degrees Celsius in the cold early hours of the morning.

Due to the fear and blind struggle, the body dissipates heat faster, not to mention the numbness of the limbs and loss of mobility caused by low temperature, which directly leads to the fact that most people drown early before reaching the limit time.

6:07 a.m.

The waterline was drawn to the hull of the Nagatsuru but did not explode, and it continued to extend from the bottom of the ship.

"How so?" The boat Changjiang Dacheng, who was about to leave the number, couldn't help but exclaim a little.

He, naturally, did not know that the Germans would soon face such a problem.

The German fuse torpedo with the same name used to leave the number is used, although there is no product quality problem with the base product, but there are design problems. Due to the sensitivity of the magnetic fuse, it may cause premature detonation due to mechanical vibration during navigation; The triggering fuse may be due to the slow speed of the firing pin, the initiating charge is prone to failure, and the hit angle is less than 50 degrees, and it will not explode.

Fortunately, except for the mistake of the Nie Zheng, which was caused by the premature explosion caused by the difference in the magnetic fields between Germany and China, there were no other problems for the time being.

This time, the torpedo got under the ship because of a problem with the depth fixer.

In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the devils, the four submarines spent a long time underwater. Submarines often have to introduce compressed air into the boat, and the longer they are underwater, the greater the pressure in the boat, resulting in excessive internal pressure in the unsealed depth fixer. Because the water was deep, the pressure was greater, and the torpedo fired was much deeper than the specified depth, causing the torpedo to pass under the Nagatsuru.

It won't be long before both Germans and Americans will have this kind of problem.

The reason why it was okay to deal with the destroyers was because in order to ensure the effectiveness of the attack, the attack was on a higher position. This time, he was going to leave the number against the huge Long Crane, intending to directly knock them down at once, and the attack position was a little lower, which led to this mistake.

"Thank you, Aunt Amaterasu!" The devils on the cargo ship breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the Changxin had already caught up, and the few soldiers on it actually pushed out the two 70 infantry guns fixed on the deck, ready to bombard the submarine.

The 20 anti-aircraft guns on the Zhuan Zhu, which was the first to catch up, took the lead in firing at the Changxin in front. Immediately, several devils in front of a 70 infantry cannon flew out in a blur. The fierce devil did not back down, and fired directly at the front to leave. But they were only the Army, they had no experience in firing artillery at sea, and the shells fell at a distance of 100 meters from the number. But after a few test launches, it will inevitably pose a threat to the submarine.

The Changxin is a special ship for transporting equipment, and the devils on it only have some personnel and caretakers. But these few devils have picked up all kinds of weapons and attacked the most threatening to the Long Crane.

"Throw all the extra stuff down!" Jiro Yuhara escaped, his heart was much calmer, and he immediately commanded the soldiers who were also a little flustered. If they were on land, they wouldn't be so flustered, but on the ship, and without weapons, the feeling of resignation made people suddenly vulnerable.

With someone in command, the devil soldiers have also settled down a lot, and some things are constantly thrown or pushed down on the Long Crane, one is to reduce some weight, and the other is to interfere with the launch of torpedoes. Of course, a little item thrown in an emergency will not have much effect on reducing the weight, but at least there is a psychological comfort.

6:08 a.m.

"Torpedo Tube No. 3 ready!"

"Put!" After readjusting the position and angle, Jiang Dacheng specially raised the attack position of the torpedo to a little above the waterline. As long as the Nagatsuru is hit by a torpedo, even if it does not sink, it will have to face the attack of the three submarines behind. Another torpedo burst through the water, and the white spray rushed towards the Crane.

A little debris dropped could not interfere with the torpedo attack, and even the 20 anti-aircraft guns that had just been moved out of the Changxin did not work against the torpedoes.

Seeing that the torpedo was not affected, it went straight to the Changhe, but the Changxin, which was speeding up to catch up, suddenly blocked the Changhe's side.

"Boom!" A bang was followed by an even louder bang. The torpedo tore through the Changxin's thin side panels, hitting the ammunition it was transporting, causing a martyrdom. The explosion directly tore the 3,000-ton Changxin to pieces, and the scattered skeleton quickly sank to the bottom of the sea without any more foam.

"Damn, this little devil is quite difficult." Jiang Dacheng patted his shaved head. There were three torpedo tubes in the bow of the ship, all of which had now been fired. Reloading is cumbersome, and it's too late in time. Objects kept falling on the Crane, and two lifeboats were lowered, ready to be used to block the torpedo attack.

"Go up and clean them up with a cannon!" Jiang Dacheng said fiercely that he was also tossed by devils in the Nanjing prisoner of war camp, and he only recovered from his injuries a month ago. Originally a merchant naval captain, he also studied marine engineering at the Qingdao Maritime School, with solid technology and willingness to study, he quickly emerged, and became the captain of the ship to leave in the election of more than a dozen people.

6:12 a.m.

Gao Zhihai, who was fixed in front of the submarine's cannon by the safety cable, wiped a handful of seawater splashed on his face, opened the safe, squinted his eyes and began to pull the trigger towards the Changhe.

The general part of the side plate of the cargo ship is only a dozen millimeters thick, and in order to save materials, the general side armor of the Long Crane is only 12 millimeters, and even the side armor of some key parts is mostly only 16 millimeters. None of this could stop the penetrating attack of 20 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns.

The attack of the anti-aircraft guns with a high rate of fire directly punched a string of holes in the vicinity of the power compartment of the Long Crane. Some of the warheads burrowed into the water and hit the side armor of the Crane, some were knocked off the support frames, and some were directly penetrated.

Although the power of the penetrating warhead is greatly reduced, it also has a great impact on the equipment inside. The cargo ship was inferior to a warship, with a fragile hull and mechanisms, and under the fire of machine guns, three pipes were damaged at once. The Shoju, which was chasing after it, was also constantly firing at the stern of the Nagatsuru with its cannons.

The attack of the 20mm cannon also worked, and the Nagatsuru was damaged internally, and its speed slowly slowed down.

6:19 a.m.

"Put!" Long Si let out a deep sigh, and the outflanked Jing Ke released his last torpedo seven hundred meters away. Through Jiang Dacheng's report just now, Long Si also specially adjusted the torpedo target a little higher. This time the torpedo was still a little downward, but it was concentrated at the bottom of the side armor of the Long Crane. The huge explosion tore open the thin skin of the cargo ship at once, and a large amount of seawater poured in. The huge explosion also shook violently on the Long Crane, throwing many devils on the deck directly into the sea.

The Crane has begun to tilt, and the huge hole can no longer be plugged.

"Give it one more!" Ryusi commanded. The duck in front of him can't have an accident, and after fighting for half an hour, the devil must have gotten the news.

The Nie Zheng's close-range torpedo attack of more than 400 meters directly caused the Changhe to disintegrate and sink, and a large number of devils who had no time to escape were directly swept into the sea.

Looking at the lonely devil's lifeboat on the sea, Jiang Dacheng sneered and ordered directly: "Sink that lifeboat for me!" ”

Kim Bongman, who had just entered the Qingdao Naval Academy for a year and came to join the Pioneer Army, couldn't help but say: "Attacking a lifeboat is a violation of international law!" ”

Jiang Dacheng was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Fuck international law, when the little devil kills civilians in Nanjing, who will talk about international law?" Who told the people who died in the camps about international law? I told the little devils that international law prohibits the mistreatment of prisoners, and they hung and beat me for three whole days, and I almost died. You've got a fucking head in the water. After you go back, where do you want to go, I don't accept the soft-hearted girls of the poor little devil here! ”

Jiang Dacheng ignored Jin Fengman, who was blushing, and shouted to the top: "Gao Zhihai, you fucking can't sink, get down, let Lao Tzu go!" ”

Gao Zhihai shouted loudly: "My whole family of ten was killed by little devils in Texas, and only one of them escaped." I don't kill enough 100 little devils in my life to pay tribute to my father, and I am not willing to die! ”

"Tubu!" His machine gun was firing at the lifeboat, which was constantly being climbed up by devils. In a matter of moments, the lifeboat was sunk.

But his cannon didn't stop, and he continued to shoot at the devils on the surface of the sea who were constantly floating and sinking with lifebuoys and other floating objects.

The soldiers below kept supplying him with ammunition, but Kim Bong stood there alone with a red face of shame and no one paid attention.

At this time, Lin Haixiang, the oldest on the boat, walked over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Young man, if you don't beat the wolf to death, the wolf will hurt people!" If you die a little devil, there will be one less scourge to the Chinese people! ”
