Chapter 1354, Explode!(1/5)
Night. The moonlight is hazy.
Zhang Yong stood on top of the Huangshan fort and secretly observed the enemy ships.
They are still two Japanese antique destroyers. The displacement is about 1,200 tons and the main gun is 127 mm.
Previously, Japanese aircraft bombed the Jiangyin Fortress indiscriminately. The two destroyers tried to approach, but were repelled by the fortress' artillery.
In the end, the Japanese warships had to accept a reality.
That is, as long as the Jiangyin Fortress remains, it is impossible for them to move upstream along the Yangtze River.
Raise the telescope.
Looking at the bend of the river further away.
There are also two Japanese destroyers over there, lying across the river opposite Zhangjiagang.
There is no doubt that the Japanese destroyers want to go upstream and support the battle against Jinling. Therefore, they must capture the Jiangyin Fortress.
"Tang Shouyi, is there no other way?" Zhang Yong said slowly.
"No." Next to him, a naval officer replied, "This is the only way."
He is the head of the navy's garrison office.
Navy Captain.
A taciturn naval officer.
There is nothing special about him, he is just an ordinary person. He seems to blend in with everyone else.
"Let me think."
"One person, one torpedo, blowing up a Japanese warship is worth it."
"Let me think."
Zhang Yong did not agree.
The solution the Navy came up with was suicide torpedoes.
That is to install the torpedo under the speedboat, and then drive the speedboat to ram the Japanese warship.
Two prerequisites are required:
First, draw the attention of the Japanese warships.
Second, one person is needed to operate the speedboat.
If this person goes there, he will never come back. He will perish together with the Japanese warships.
A very cruel method. But it is also the most effective method.
Other methods have very low success rates.
Letting the mines float down is also a solution. But the mines are completely uncontrollable.
Who knows if it will encounter a Japanese warship? Or when it will encounter it?
If it is controlled by humans, it is not as good as a torpedo.
"Can you release the torpedo at close range and then turn around?" Zhang Yong said slowly.
"The hit rate is too low." Tang Shouyi shook his head.
"Then I will implement it as you wish." Zhang Yong agreed.
"Yes." Tang Shouyi turned around to make arrangements.
Soon, a speedboat drifted quietly down the river.
Do not start the engine to avoid making any noise.
Under the speedboat, a large-caliber torpedo was temporarily strapped. It weighed more than 600 kilograms.
As long as it hits a Japanese destroyer, it is guaranteed to be shot into the soul.
The torpedo has been modified so that it can be detonated by impact. There is no need to set the depth.
8000 meters…
5000 meters…
3000 meters…
The distance is getting closer.
"Flag flare!"
"yes!"
Soon, the signal flare took off.
The Japanese destroyers in the distance were immediately alerted.
The lookout on the mast quickly looked around. As a result, he quickly discovered that something was wrong.
There were national military activities on the nearby shore.
and……
"Tu tu tu tu..."
"Tu tu tu tu..."
The multiple Sulothon machine guns opened fire.
A string of artillery shells were fired at the Japanese destroyer, sweeping above the deck.
The focus is around the bridge, including the mast.
"Crack, crackle, crackle..."
"There's a roar..."
The Japanese destroyer suddenly burst into flames.
Small-caliber shells hit the trestle and near the mast.
"ah……"
"puff……"
All the lookout posts on the mast were swept down.
The deck was in a mess.
"Fight back!"
"Fight back!"
The Japanese officer roared angrily.
They hide in the turret, operate the 127mm main gun, and return fire with the secondary gun.
"boom……"
"boom……"
The artillery fire was fierce.
However, the Sulotong machine guns on the shore are very scattered.
Even if they are hit, not all of them are destroyed.
Their purpose was to attract the attention of Japanese destroyers.
In the chaos, the speedboat started, accelerated, and then bravely rammed into the Japanese warship.
"Baga..."
The Japanese invaders quickly realized something was wrong.
Damn it!
A speedboat is coming towards me!
Obviously, they are the biggest threat! They are deadly!
However, at this moment, the deck of the destroyer was in a mess after being strafed by Sulotong machine guns.
The large-caliber main gun cannot be turned around quickly. Moreover, due to the shooting angle problem, it cannot straf those speedboats.
As for the secondary battery, it was also restrained by the Suratong machine gun.
"Puff puff puff..."
"Puff puff puff..."
Of course, there are still sporadic Japanese invaders who can shoot at speedboats.
The speedboat turned quickly to avoid the front, then turned back and crashed into the side of the Japanese warship.
Must hit the side.
To be continued...
