Chapter 496: Contempt

PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "Look at the Sea and Happy Chest", and continue to ask for recommendation votes ^_^

At a distance of less than 2,000 meters, with the accuracy of the naval guns, even if you aim with the naked eye, you can almost guarantee where to shoot, so the gunner in the secondary gun turret immediately lowered the angle of the two 127mm secondary guns, and aimed at the position of the main ammunition depot of the battleship Hiei, ready to carry out a direct artillery attack, but at this time, the devil was immersed in the joy of seeing the Zhiyuan hang up the white flag, and did not notice the rotation of the auxiliary gun turret on the enemy ship at all, even if he saw some of them, he didn't pay attention to it, but it's no wonder, Who would have thought that a mere 127mm cannon could pose a threat to a well-armored battleship?

"Unlimited rapid fire, fire!" With the order of the first mate of the Zhiyuan (the highest-ranking officer surviving on the ship), all the more than a dozen guns available on the side of the ship fired at the same time, and even the anti-aircraft guns lowered the angle to carry out a flat fire attack on the superstructure of the enemy ship, and the shells that poured out instantly devoured those devils who wanted to witness the surrender of the enemy ship and stood outside

The captain of the Hiei escaped because he was reporting the good news to the commander over the radio, but his face did not show the slightest surprise for the rest of his life, but because of extreme anger (slapping him in the face, or in front of his boss, it is strange that he is not angry). So much so that the muscles on his face were twisted and vicious like knots, "Despicable Chinese, you will regret it!" In the face of absolute strength, any intrigue is useless! ”

"It didn't work? Obviously, I hit it! The officers and men on the Zhiyuan ship generally gave all hope for the "special bomb." But after the first two shells hit the main ammunition depot of the enemy ship, there was not much movement, and everyone was inevitably frustrated, at this time Yu Zuwang hurriedly explained a few words through the microphone tube on the warship to calm the morale of the army, "The special ammunition ignites only a line, and the ammunition depot is very large, not all of it is full of ammunition, only a direct hit or the fire spreads to those ammunition will cause a martyrdom." Therefore, the more shells we fire, the more likely it is that the ammunition depot of the enemy ship will be detonated, and the more we grind, the enemy will not give us much time! ”

After getting rid of the unrealistic fantasies in your head. Everyone quickly adjusted their mood. With greater enthusiasm into the battle, the new 127mm high-level dual-purpose gun equipped on the ship was originally equipped with a rate of fire as high as 1 round in 3 seconds, and now it has exceeded this limit, obviously there are only two cannons. But the shells rained down on the enemy ships

The Hiei's main ammunition depot was already on fire at this point. The Japanese officers and men on the ship did their best. Still could only sit back and watch the fire continue to spread, just as the Zhiyuan, which was hit hard by the retaliatory bombardment of many enemy ships, was about to sink, the dozens of surviving people on the ship finally saw that the Hiei was blown apart after making an earth-shattering loud noise. The explosion was so powerful that it seemed that the Hiei had not been involved in much of the battle and had plenty of ammunition to be the biggest fatal wound on the Hiei

"Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on? The enemy sank our battleship with only secondary guns? Even though Tadashi Yamaguchi, who had always considered himself wise and calm, couldn't help but be confused for a while after seeing the miserable fate of the Hiei, he quickly controlled his emotions and realized that only the survivors of the enemy ship could learn the truth, and immediately ordered, "Immediately send out a search and rescue team to see if there are any Chinese alive, and if you find it, bring it with you immediately, and if anyone dares to kill and abuse the prisoners (Note 1), they will all be court-martialed." ”

Although the previous battle was extremely tragic, the Zhiyuan was so big, even if some officers and soldiers were taken away before the war, the total number was not less than 500 people, as long as someone rescued them, it was impossible to die without a single one, so in the end, the devils still found more than a dozen. However, the key is still the rules that Hu Weidong set for the navy at the beginning, because it is not easy to train naval officers and soldiers, so if the warship is sunk, he does not encourage the practice of sinking with the ship, as long as he does not leak secrets and does not commit treason after being captured (although it is not easy to prove this, as long as he is not accused of leaking secrets or treason, he will not be punished, but some confidential departments will not be able to enter after that. When he came back, he was a good comrade. Therefore, when the warship sank, although many people chose to die on the ship, there were also people who relied on lifebuoys, life jackets and even all buoyant objects to float on the sea waiting for rescue, and were rescued by the devil's search and rescue team.

Although he sent people to search and rescue in order to learn the truth about the sinking of the Hiei, as a traditional naval officer, Yamaguchi Tarumi still looked down on these people who were waiting for the enemy to rescue them with lifebuoys after the sinking of these warships, and what annoyed him even more was that those guys did not have the consciousness of being prisoners at all, and they ate and drank a lot after they got on the ship, and they always held their heads high and looked disdainful in the face of him, didn't these people think that their words could decide their life and death?

In order to defeat the sharpness of these prisoners of war so that it is easier to understand the information they want to know, and also in order to get out of the sullenness that arises from the accidental sinking of a battleship and is stimulated by the attitude of these guys in front of him, he does not know Chinese (will there be no relevant information in history, but judging from his background and experience, it is unlikely. Yamaguchi Tawen expressed his contempt to them through an interpreter, "Haven't you ever eaten haode in China?" ”

There was a lot of irony in this sentence, but one of the prisoners of war replied calmly in fluent Japanese, "China is still very poor, and although the food of our navy is better, it is enough rice, flour and vegetables, one egg a day, one fish a day, and one meat a week. ”

Yamaguchi couldn't help but feel a little proud when he heard it, and said with a smile, "Now that the fleet is far away from the mainland, the conditions are already very poor, otherwise you dirt buns will definitely eat your stomach." ”

"Really? I have always felt strange when I heard that the Japanese people are so poor that they eat grass to survive, isn't Japan one of the great powers? Why are the people so poor, and now I finally understand that you wasted money! The prisoner of war looked at Yamaguchi Tawen with disdain and said, as if he felt very unworthy for the Japanese people, and Yamaguchi Tawen was stunned when he arrived

Note 1: Although the military discipline of the Japanese Navy was slightly better than that of the Army, it was actually the same in terms of prisoner of war policy, but then again, before and after World War II, except for the Red Party troops, the military of any country at that time was not polite to captured enemies.
