Republic of China: Our great warlord has many children and many blessings

On September 23, more than 900 people from the British Sikus Regiment also landed from Laoshan Bay and invaded Li Village. Here the British and Japanese forces met and completed the land encirclement of the German forces in Qingdao.

On September 26, a day of fierce fighting between Japan and Germany, the German army was defeated, Fushan and Gushan were lost, and the German army lost control of the commanding heights in Qingdao. This heralded the German army's full retreat to the fortress side of the main defense line, and the first phase of the Japanese-German War was over.

The S90 destroyer broke through the Japanese Navy's blockade and fled toward Shanghai.

A-Gump was sitting in the submarine, not in a hurry to attack, but waiting quietly.

"Captain, do you want to catch up now?"

A-Gump said seriously:"No, there is an old saying in your country that a dog entering a back alley will be attacked.

We are not in a hurry, just wait and see if there are any other prey. After finally making a trip, dealing with a destroyer torpedo ship is too fussy.

Besides, an absconding destroyer S90 will definitely not carry much coal on the warship, and there is no place for it to replenish fuel. Its power will not last long.

Wait until it loses power and then clean it up"

"Yes, Captain."

Today, in the era without radar, it is still difficult to detect a submarine unless the other party takes the initiative to attack.

Because radar was first invented by the British physicist Robert Watson in 1935.

However, the emergence of radar was invented during World War I when Britain and Germany were at war, and it played an important role in World War II.

It is enough to show that war is the cradle of scientific and technological progress.

A-Gump led five U-boats and followed slowly for about a kilometer, taking his time.

Like a cat playing with a mouse, there is no rush at all.

Suddenly, an observer excitedly said:"Captain, a warship of Japan's First Fleet has been discovered."

Forrest Gump was stunned and hurriedly observed through the periscope.

What broke into the sight of the U9 submarine were the"Takachie" cruiser of the Japanese Navy's First Fleet and the two armored cruisers"Kitagami" and"Oi".

The three cruisers lined up in a horizontal line and searched forward at a speed of 10 knots, 4,000 meters apart from each other. Warning posts were placed on each ship, and a gun was installed on each side to maintain alert.

A-Gump suddenly became excited and immediately had a new idea, which was to kill these three cruisers.

So he said:"Closely monitor their movements and report them at any time."

"yes"

"Captain, the German destroyer S90 suddenly turned around and accelerated, as if it was going to attack the Japanese"Takachie".

Captain, the other armored cruisers"Kitagami" and"Oi" are also accelerating to converge on the"Takachiho"." Agan also hurriedly checked. It was obvious that Germany wanted to kill the"Takachiho" cruiser.

It was just five hundred meters away. At a distance of about meters, the S90 torpedo boat suddenly launched an attack on the"Takachiho".

I saw that a torpedo was launched, but it didn't hit.

A-Gump was so angry:"It's really stupid, it can't even hit, what are you afraid of?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the S90 destroyer launched the second one. With a bang, it hit the middle of the"Takachiho", but it did not cause a devastating blow.

A-Gump saw it and said regretfully:"It's a pity that it didn't hit. Critical point."

At this time, the"Takachiho" also fought back, but the cruiser"Takachiho" was too old and too slow, and was avoided by the S90.

This battleship was purchased from the United Kingdom in 1885 and participated in During the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1898, the invasion went through many twists and turns, and we participated in the Russo-Japanese War. This time the Japanese-German War broke out and we rejoined the combat sequence.

It’s just that we can’t keep up with the times.

Whether it’s speed or firepower, it’s one level behind the S90 destroyer.

Right here At this time, the destroyer S90 suddenly approached the"Takachiho".

It launched a third torpedo. This time the torpedo hit the position where the"Takachiho" placed the torpedo, causing a series of explosions. There was a loud bang!

Rising from the sea Bursts of fire.

A few minutes later, the"Takachiho" sank to the bottom of the sea, and the captain and the 284th Navy were all killed.

The battle only lasted less than ten minutes. Under the absolute crushing strength, the"Takachiho" was gone. The

"Northbound" behind The armored cruisers No. 1 and"Oi" saw this scene and were furious. They hurriedly increased their power and started to attack.

But because the distance between the three warships was 4,000 meters, it was too difficult to catch up immediately.

"Captain, should we pursue the S90?"

A-Gump said hesitantly:"Send a submarine to follow the S90. When he runs out of fuel, destroy him directly.

The remaining four submarines were kept, and we took the opportunity to kill these two Japanese armored cruisers, which happened to be faked as being done by the Germans."

""Yes" followed A-Gump's order.

U9 dived into the water and quietly moved toward the nearest target, the"Beishang".

About five hundred meters away from the"Beishang", A-Gump suddenly ordered:"Aim to the starboard side. Let the middle part be paralyzed first"

""Yes, Captain" a torpedo was ejected from a distance of 500 meters, accurately hitting the middle of the starboard side of the armored cruiser"Kitagami", causing water to enter the boiler room, and the Japanese cruiser"Kitagami" was immediately paralyzed on the sea.

See At this point, A-Gump smiled coldly and said:"Retreat, five kilometers, and let the"Dai" come to the rescue.""

""Yes, Captain."

The four U-boats, like ghosts, disappeared again. Instead of pursuing the"Kitagami", they let another one come over.

The captain, Captain Kitajiro, hurriedly sent a signal to"Kitagami""Dai", requesting rescue.

The"Dai", which was 4,000 meters away, received the news. It was stunned for a moment. How could something happen suddenly? He didn't dare to think too much, so he increased his power and rushed over.

A-Gump observed from the periscope. He watched the Japanese cruiser"Oi" stop next to the"Kitagami" cruiser to rescue people. He calmly chose the second prey"Oi".

A-Gump said coldly:"Quietly touch it, remember to stay 300 meters away."

""Yes, Captain." (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The submarine stopped silently at about 270 meters.

A-Gump ordered:"Send four torpedoes, all attack the tail of the"Oi" and release the torpedoes." position, launch after ten seconds"

"Yes, Captain."

As time went by, everyone became nervous.

3, 2, 1!

"emission!"

The four U-boats fired all torpedoes at the same time, and a loud rumble was heard.

"The Oi" was caught in the flames, and the previous Kitakami was also affected.

Seeing this, A-Gump ordered the U-boat to go out of the water and surfaced mockingly. As soon as the U9's bow emerged from the water, it was caught by the sharp-eyed Japanese The lookout found it!

"Submarine, German submarine."

If you had any doubts about the cause of the sinking of the"Beishang" just now, it is now clear!

Unfortunately, it is too late at this moment

""Oi" was completely destroyed, and the Kitakami warship was irreparable. It capsized to the right 25 minutes later and finally sank to the bottom of the sea in about half an hour.

Due to the damage of the explosion and the loss of power, the crew only lowered one lifeboat, including 527 officers and soldiers, including the captain, lost their lives.

A-Gump looked at the lifeboat and said without mercy:"Send them to God.""

"yes."Captain"

A big torpedo made a loud noise, and the whole world fell silent.

After 167 finished all this, the U-submarine left quietly.

Armored cruisers appeared in the world's ship field after the mid-19th century. A new type of warship.

This type of ship can also be called an ironclad cruiser. It has powerful firepower close to that of an ironclad ship. The speed of an ordinary cruiser is stronger than the protection of an ordinary cruiser. To put it simply, it is a warship that adopts a similar protection and firepower mode to an ironclad ship. Cruiser.

But it only imitated the ironclad in terms of protection. Due to the speed performance requirements and cost constraints, the actual protection capability of this type of warship was far weaker than that of the ironclad of the same era, which was useless.

In less than an hour, the Japanese troops went north and Ojing. The armored cruiser was wiped out, 32 officers and 897 soldiers were killed, and the total tonnage exceeded 23,000 tons!

In addition to the previous"Takachiho" sinking to the bottom of the sea, the captain and 284 sailors were all killed.

This time the Japanese army lost a total of 40 officers and 1181 sailors..

This was the biggest defeat the Japanese Navy suffered since the beginning of the Japan-Germany War.

But at this time, the Japanese Navy also received the news that all three warships Kitakami, Takachiho, and Oi were killed, and they were immediately furious.

The First Fleet of the Japanese Combined Fleet The commander-in-chief, Lieutenant General Tomosaburo Kato, was furious.

His first fleet only had three battleships, four cruisers (Kitagami, Takachiho, Oi,) and several destroyers. Three of them were overturned in one fell swoop, and his lungs were filled with anger. Exploded

"Send out all the battleships and find the damn S90."

At the same time, the destroyer S90 was afraid of being retaliated and attacked by Japanese warships, so he rushed southward in a hurry and broke into Rizhao. The destroyer S90 ran aground in Rizhao, Shandong because it ran out of fuel.

The shadow of the U-submarine Reappear...
