The 'Dolphin' torpedo boat led by Wang Gensheng fired a total of four new torpedoes, all of which were the latest line guide + sound guide dual guidance mode, although the final guidance was interrupted, but relying on the second-generation sound seeker, there were still three accurate hits on the flanks of the Kaohsiung class.

Due to the incompressible nature of water, a torpedo exploding underwater is much more lethal to a ship than it is on the surface.

Three 533-mm second-generation torpedoes, a single load of 350 kilograms of Octokokin high-energy explosives, Kaohsiung-class hit a total of three, that is to say, the Kaohsiung-class heavy patrol fully withstood a ton of Octokin explosives.

Converted to yellow explosives, it's about 1.5 tons.

This equivalence,

Not to mention the Treaty-class heavy cruiser with strong natural firepower and weak armor, even if it is a battleship with solid and durable skin, it is enough to choke.

If the design is a little worse, or the damage management is not effective, or the luck is almost damaged by the key parts, in the face of a close-fitting explosion with a yield of 1.5 tons, the battleship will have to fight in the street.

Nature.

Before the captain could recover from the shock, a large amount of water began to flood the left compartment, and the port side began to roll over at a terrifying speed.

"Water on the right side..."

"Damage management..."

I have to say that the little devil navy is indeed well-trained, and in such a chaotic situation, it can actually give the right order, organize damage management rescue as soon as possible, and start to inject water to maintain balance.

But manpower is sometimes poor.

In the face of the large hole blown out by a 1.5-ton yield bomb, as well as the fragile defense of the treaty-class heavy cruiser, and the watertight cabin design of the little devil heavy patrol pit father, this timely self-rescue was almost ineffective, and just a few minutes later, the heavy cruiser launched in 1930 and named after Mt. Kaohsiung near Kyoto sank in the depths of the Sea of Japan.

Most of the 900 men on board sank with the fleet, and only about 30 survived.

At this time, Wang Gensheng was driving the 'Dolphin' to escape at a speed of 44 knots, or nearly 80 kilometers per hour, and half an hour later, after the radar confirmed that the destroyer was not pursuing, Wang Gensheng ordered the torpedo boat to slow down and sail at cruising speed.

"What about the losses?"

Wang Gensheng asked.

In terms of the navy, he was a monk halfway, and this was the first time he had participated in a naval battle, but he also knew very well that although Boss Chen's own 'Dolphin' had good performance, fast speed, and advanced weapons, the torpedo boats were fighting one-on-one and heavy patrols, even at night, and they were dangerous.

A heavy patrol may be fine if he is hit by a torpedo, but if he is hit by a heavy gun of more than 100 calibers, it will be a big problem. If you come with a 203mm main gun, I'm afraid it will be finished directly.

"There were a few big holes in the deck, and they were hit by the little devil's rate of fire, and the big bear was shot and killed, and there was a minor injury."

The deputy, that is, the middle-aged Mr. Wen, reported.

"Collect the funeral and go back to his family."

Wang Gensheng's eyes darkened.

Another brother has been sacrificed!

As for the navy, except for a small number of original naval sailors of the Republic of China, most of them were halfway monks, and some of them had not even touched the water much before they got on the ship.

In the past six months, they have gone to sea to train together, braved the storm to exercise their water nature, and changed from landlubbers to cement loaches today.

The sacrifice of each brother made him sad.

For Wang Wang Gensheng, although the war has been fought for so long, and there are at least a hundred brothers who have fallen around him, he still can't calmly accept that his comrades-in-arms who fought together suddenly collapsed and disappeared.

This is also the reason why he has always been reluctant to serve as battalion commander and deputy regiment commander.

"Captain, you did your best."

Mr. Wen reassured:

"Every one of us who got on the boat was ready to sacrifice, and we also had the consciousness of dying that day."

At that time, the distance between the two ships was less than three kilometers, the course speed was parallel, and the devil's rapid-fire guns reacted quickly, if the captain did not react quickly, I am afraid that their 'dolphins' would have to sink.

The Dolphin has an aluminum-shelled plywood structure, has no armor at all, and its defense capabilities and armored vehicles are even worse, and a 100-caliber shell can kill them.

"Besides, we used a torpedo boat this time to sink a heavy cruiser of the devil."

"Blood-earned!"

Speaking of this, Mr. Wen's tone was excited.

Even if they were running at the highest speeds, they saw it, and they saw it clearly.

Three torpedoes in a row hit the Kaohsiung, and the scene of the final sinking.

Until the last moment of sinking, the searchlights on the Kaohsiung were also lit up, as if they were seeing themselves off, and the people on the 'Dolphin' could see it clearly.

"Haha... Yes, we're going to make it this time. ”

Wang Gensheng's mood also turned from sadness to joy.

It's not that he's cold-blooded, it's not that he's finally used to parting with life and death,

Really,

Sink the Devil heavy cruiser Kaohsiung.

Sink a capital ship with a displacement of 15,000 tons, equipped with ten 203-mm guns.

Or was sunk by them, a small torpedo boat made of aluminum hull and plywood, with a displacement of up to two hundred tons, and they paid only the price of minor injuries to the torpedo boat, the death of one soldier, and the minor injury of one soldier.

This victory is unprecedented, unprecedented, and a great victory that can boost the confidence of the people of the whole country. After all, this is the first time in its history that it has sunk an enemy's 10,000-ton capital ship.

I finally won the enemy's giant ship cannon.

And judging from the speed of sinking, the sailors on the little devil's ship may not be able to escape much, even if the sea is calm and the water temperature is warm and suitable, the Kaohsiung sailors who can survive in the end are definitely less than one-tenth.

"It's a pity."

Subsequently, Mr. Wen smacked his mouth:

"You can't record it."

It's night, the plane can't take off, and there is a destroyer next to it, so they can't get close, otherwise taking pictures of the sinking of the devil warship, or directly recording it, and then returning home to send a shot, it will definitely cause a sensation.

"There's no hurry."

Wang Gensheng said with a smile:

"There will be opportunities in the future."

"There are still many warships of the little devils."

"Yes."

Mr. Wen laughed too.

"Did the pilot get helped?"

Then, Wang Gensheng continued to ask.

"All five pilots were rescued by the No. 3 ship."

The correspondent replied.

When they sank the Kaohsiung and attracted all the attention of the devils, the No. 3 'Dolphin' had quietly rescued the five pilots behind.

"Other 'dolphins' also rescued eight pilots."

The correspondent continued to answer.

"Continue the search and evacuate in ten minutes."

Looking at the time, Wang Gensheng gave an order.

According to the information of the bomber formation, two "Dapeng" crashed in the Sea of Japan, and each "Dapeng" had 15 crew members, that is, 30 people needed to be rescued.

But this is the Sea of Japan, known as the bathtub of the devil, although he took out a devil heavy patrol, but the overall situation, the devil navy still has an absolute advantage, continue to consume, and when the devil reacts, completely block the Tsushima Strait, none of them can escape.

"Yes."

The correspondent quickly gave the order.

······

"Nani?"

"Kaohsiung was hit and sunk by three torpedoes?"

After receiving the news of the sinking of the Kaohsiung, the current commander of the Combined Fleet, Vice President Toyoda, was stunned for a long time.

"Is the message accurate?"

Then he looked at the staff officer in disbelief.

Although a capital ship was sunk, the expression of Vice Takeshi Toyoda at this time was not much sadness, more doubt, and anger.

Really, this news, he couldn't believe it for a while.

The Americans have already retreated.

After the great change in the situation in Europe, the Americans did not even leave a single submarine west of the Pacific Ocean now, and the only naval force was still a small number of warships on the Australian mainland.

But it's just a local chicken.

Nothing.

Besides, who else can sink the Kaohsiung?

It is okay for the aircraft of the Republic of China to bomb in groups, but it is now night, and it is impossible for planes to carry out tasks at sea at night, even if the sea is calm and there is moonlight illumination.

Moreover, he didn't even receive a farewell telegram!

Could it be that the Kaohsiung didn't even have time to send the jade broken telegram?

"The news came from the snow wind escorting the Kaohsiung."

The staff officer continued:

"According to the Snow Wind report, while searching for the enemy's overboard pilot, the Kaohsiung suddenly encountered an unknown enemy's torpedo boat at a distance of three kilometers, the torpedo boat was very fast, and as soon as the Kaohsiung opened fire, three torpedoes were hit in a row on the side side."

"Three torpedoes."

Toyota's face suddenly changed.

Three fish hit at the same time, even a battleship is very dangerous, let alone Kaohsiung, although in the modernization and improvement, Kaohsiung's armor, power, and air defense have been improved to a certain extent, but the displacement and the basis limited by the treaty still make this treaty-class heavy patrol defense capability seriously insufficient.

"Blockade the Soya Strait, the Tsushima Strait."

Vice Takeshi Toyoda took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart:

"No boats are allowed to enter or leave."

"Hey."

The staff officer immediately went to deliver the order.

······

North China.

In a small county town in Bo Bay.

Ninji Gangmura and Kazuki Yamamoto were playing chess at this time.

During this period of time, Li Yunlong slowed down the offensive, there were few attacks in North China, and Yamamoto and Gangcun were also idle, and the two exchanged views with each other in this small county town and pointed out the world situation, and the relationship between the two continued to heat up.

"General."

At this time, a staff officer ran in:

"The Penang garrison telegraphed that the patrol found an enemy plane that had made a forced landing and sent a patrol to search, but during the search, it encountered intensive shelling by the enemy guerrillas, the plane was destroyed, and the patrol team suffered heavy losses and was forced to retreat."

"Subjected to intensive shelling by guerrillas."

The corners of Gangcun's mouth twitched, and his tone barely remained calm:

"Got it."

As for Yamamoto, it was as if he didn't see the staff officer, didn't hear the news reported by the staff officer, and stared intently at the chessboard.

The staff officer immediately put down the telegram and left.

There were only two generals left in the room again, and after a period of silence, Gangcun continued to fall a sunspot, and his tone sighed:

"Sure enough, as Yamamoto-kun expected."

A long time ago, Yamamoto Kazuki predicted that the empire would be bombed, and it would be a large-scale and large-scale bombardment.

"Li Yunlong..."

Yamamoto sighed, as if he wanted to say something, but he stopped talking, and finally sighed faintly.

These days, the relationship between the two has progressed day by day, and Gangmura's understanding of Yamamoto has become deeper and deeper.

Okamura knew what Yamamoto was trying to say.

Li Yunlong is very scary, although he seems to be illogical, arbitrary, and always makes some unexpected actions, but in fact, every step is carefully planned.

Plan before you act.

It can be expected that more attacks will inevitably befall the empire itself in the future.

Even, maybe Li Yunlong has a more secret and terrible conspiracy brewing.

With the strength of the empire, it is simply impossible to resist, just like the enemy guerrillas in the coastal areas, a few years ago, a small squad of the empire could drive away at will, and now, a large group of imperial troops has been crushed by guerrilla shelling.

According to Yamamoto, the current empire no longer has the ability to compete in the world.

He agrees.

For so long in North China, he felt very deeply, the current empire has a big gap compared with the rising group of mud legs, and this gap continues to widen.

But Yamamoto is only a lieutenant general, and as for him, although he is a little better, he is also limited, and his voice is low.

"Let's continue to play chess."

Gangcun changed the subject:

"Local affairs, leave it to the locusts and the prime minister. We just follow orders. ”

······

Heyuan County.

Inside the base of the Independent Flying Regiment.

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Lawyer General and dozens of other people waited nervously in the conference room, and this group of bigwigs looked at a landing heavy bomber outside the window through the window, with unconcealable tension on their faces.

The room was silent, and no one spoke.

"Wang Gensheng, they have already come out."

After a long silence, Huang Quan rushed in, holding a telegram in his hand:

"Only Wang Gensheng's 'dolphin' was slightly injured."

Hearing this, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The fifteen torpedo boats led by Wang Gensheng can be said to be the seeds of the army and navy, and everyone's idea is to keep them well, but the seedlings cannot become giant beasts soaring in the ocean without experiencing the ocean, so in the end this torpedo boat unit was sent out.

With sufficient intelligence, as long as there are no problems in command, there will be no major losses.

"How many people have been rescued?"

The lawyer asked.

"Fourteen crew members recovered."

Huang Quan said.

"Telegrams were also sent from Penang and other places, and the crew members of the two bombers who had made a forced landing were rescued, and only three were killed."

"All in all, in this bombing mission to Tokyo, we lost six planes, seven were slightly damaged, and the loss rate was 6 percent, and we lost 33 crew members, with a loss rate of 2 percent."

"Not bad."

The lawyer and several superiors nodded frequently:

"It seems that the Zhurong plan can continue, and we should also burn the flames of war, so that the little devils can also taste the feeling of being attacked by the country."

"Yes."

Li Yunlong's tone was very excited, and the result was stubble:

"It is necessary to increase the size of the bomber contingent, increase the number of pilots, and strive to achieve the kind of 1,000-plane bombing in foreign countries."

"I will intensify the training of pilots and set up the Xi'an Flight School as soon as possible."

“······”

In a few words, the 'Zhurong Project', which is known as the largest chemical bomb bombing operation in human history, consumes the most bombs, and has the most generators, began.

······

The next day.

Early morning.

At this time, Tokyo was still burning, and the billowing smoke could be seen for hundreds of miles, and the news was transmitted to all the major countries of the world.

"Tokyo was bombed, causing a fire, and the whole of Tokyo was on fire?"

Looking at the information sent by the Ministry of Intelligence, the president in the wheelchair laughed.

He doesn't have a good impression of the little devil, and the most in his heart is schadenfreude about the bombing of Tokyo.

But soon, Donovan's follow-up report made him unable to laugh:

"According to intelligence and intercepted telegrams, the group of people in the Republic of China dispatched nearly 100 giant bombers, which can fly more than 3,000 kilometers while carrying more than 20 tons of bombs."

"According to preliminary estimates, fires have burned in more than three-fifths of the entire city of Tokyo, and it is expected that more than 50 percent of Japan's industrial capacity will be lost in Tokyo, Japan, and the casualties will not be less than 50,000."

"So big?!"

The man in the wheelchair frowned immediately.

It's not that he's distressed about the devil's loss.

The problem is that the current plan of the United States is to let the Japanese delay and consume the Republic of China, but now, the Republic of China seems to be too fierce, and the Japanese are a little unable to stand it. This is not in the interests of the United States.

According to various intelligence, the current group of people in the Republic of China is developing too fast, so fast that even the president of the world's most powerful industrial country feels like a man's back.

Also, the performance of this aircraft seems to be a bit too powerful, far more advanced than the B29.

"Mr. President."

Mr. Donovan on the side said:

"According to information coming from within Japan, it seems that they are preparing to appoint Mitsumasa Yonechi as the new prime minister."

"Mitsumasa Yonechi!"

Roosevelt's eyes lit up slightly.

This person he is familiar with, he is a pro-British and American faction within Japan, if this person comes to power, then...

"Someone."

Then the president called a man:

"At the press conference waiting for the Republic of China, we condemned the bombing of Japan by the Republic of China, and said that they used incendiary bombs to deliberately massacre the poor and were war criminals."

"Yes."

After the man stepped down, the president called for another army general:

"Is it possible to bomb the Germans with incendiary bombs?"

Seeing that the bombing of Tokyo was so good, and comparing it with the poor effect of each bombing and the huge losses caused by his own bombing, the president expressed his envy and wanted to learn from it.

"Nope."

The general shook his head:

"Germany is different from Japan, Japan is made of wood, but most of the concrete and stone brick buildings in Germany are not as effective as ordinary bombs."

"Okay."

The president felt a pity.

Just when the President of the United States was feeling regret and pity, over New York, above the clouds, fifteen bombers arrived here.

Approaching the United States, the Germans' bombers dispersed, each flying towards their intended target.

"Next to New York."

In the crew, the navigator of the pilot said:

"Directly below, there's the Statue of Liberty."

"Lower the height."

"We blew up this statue, and Manhattan."
