Dozens of powerful searchlights on the Kaga were shining on the sea next to the ship. For a while, the sea near the Kaga was illuminated as if it were daytime.
"No, we found a torpedo trail on the starboard side of our ship." A lookout sailor pointed to the right and shouted in horror.
At this time, Colonel Satoshi Yamada had already rushed to the bridge. When the warning of the lookout sailors was transmitted to the bridge through the loudspeaker, Colonel Yamada raised his telescope and looked to the starboard side.
Four faint contrails appeared in front of Colonel Yamada Satoshi's lenses, but these contrails were so inconspicuous that they were barely noticed by the lookout sailors after they entered a distance of more than 300 meters and happened to be illuminated by a searchlight.
.
"Hurry up and fill the right helm!" Colonel Roshi Yamada roared at the helmsman.
"Hai Man, steer right," the helmsman replied loudly.
The quality of the Japanese navy is also among the best in the world. Under the control of the helmsman, the large aircraft carrier with a displacement of 42,541 tons drew a beautiful arc on the sea.
Three more torpedoes passed within a short distance, but one torpedo hit the aircraft carrier's head.
A dull sound of "boom" came, and everyone in the cab was shaken and staggered.
Colonel Yamada's face became increasingly livid. The aircraft carrier had been hit by three torpedoes in just ten minutes. A large amount of water was entering the ship. Damage control personnel were urgently trying to plug the leaks.
"Your Excellency, Captain, there is a three-meter-long hole in the head of our aircraft carrier where the bullet was shot. Sea water is pouring in, and damage control personnel are unable to repair it. Now please order the passage at the head of the ship to be closed and sealed."
A damage control officer hurriedly came to report.
"Well, we can close the aircraft carrier's head passage now and seal it immediately." Colonel Yamada Satoshi agreed without hesitation.
After the Kaga was attacked, the entire task force jumped up like a girl frightened by a gangster. More than ten destroyers and frigates rushed towards the Kaga aircraft carrier at the same time.
The Kaga reluctantly dragged its heavy body towards the front of the fleet and was lost. As long as it returned to the center of the fleet, it could be protected by destroyers and frigates.
Just as the Kaga struggled to rendezvous with the frigates from the fleet, dragging its seriously injured body, an even greater disaster struck.
"Woo"
The shrill collision alarm sounded again, and the lookout sailor sounded the alarm again, "A torpedo was found on the port side one hundred meters away." At this time, the submarine No. 0003 hidden on the left side finally launched a torpedo.
This time, Colonel Satoshi Yamada had no time to order the helmsman. He grabbed the rudder and hit it to the left with all his strength. Unfortunately, it was too late. The distance of more than 200 meters was not enough for a torpedo with a speed of nearly 50 knots.
It took less than ten machine seconds. No matter how powerful Captain Yamada was, he could not turn the aircraft carrier into an airplane as quickly as he could. The sailors on the aircraft carrier watched four torpedoes rushing toward them in a fan shape, and they were all desperate.
closed eyes
"Boom boom boom"
Three torpedoes rushed into the heavily damaged Kaga without hesitation. The violent explosions and strong vibrations knocked everyone to the ground.
"Your Excellency, Captain, a torpedo hit the boiler compartment, and now sea water is pouring in."
"Your Excellency, our ship has been tilted thirteen degrees due to a large amount of water intrusion. Please give your instructions."
One piece of bad news keeps coming, and the situation of this already severely damaged aircraft carrier is getting worse.
"Order the damage control personnel to do their best to rescue and never let the aircraft carrier sink." Colonel Yamada Tatsumi howled like crazy.
Yamamoto Isoroku on the Akamai was so upset when he learned the news that the Kaga aircraft carrier was attacked. He actually forgot about submarines. The China Navy, who originally thought that the opponent only had a few small ships, actually had
It turns out that submarines, such underwater weapons, have long been lurking in their own channels, waiting for them to expose their flaws and give them a fatal blow.
And I stupidly put the Kaga number on people's lips, just because I was afraid that people wouldn't attack me.
A communications officer rushed into the command room and reported: "Your Excellency, Commander, a telegram has been sent from the Kaga. They have been hit by six heavy torpedoes. A large amount of water has entered the ship. The ship has tilted eighteen degrees. Yamada
Colonel Li Zhi is organizing officers and soldiers to do their best to rescue them."
Yamamoto Isoroku seemed to have aged a few years as he slowly uttered a sentence: "Command the Kaga flagship, it is no longer useful."
"Commander," the officers in the command room shouted angrily at the same time, "Commander, you can't abandon the ship. The Kaga is our empire's first heavy-duty aircraft carrier."
Yamamoto Isoroku waved his hands feebly, "I don't know this, but do you think the Kaga can be saved?"
After listening to Yamamoto Isoroku's words, everyone shut their mouths. If the body can still survive after being hit by six heavy torpedoes, it will be unless Amaterasu himself takes action.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, one of those officers couldn't help crying," why?"
"Because we all underestimate the China people too much," Yamamoto Isoroku said weakly, "There is a saying in China's art of war that arrogant soldiers will be defeated. This may be the punishment of Amaterasu for our pride." Yamamoto Isoroku
Then he said with a livid face: "How can these Chinese people leave without paying a price after attacking our aircraft carrier? Order Lin Xumaru, lead the enemy, the Cangju destroyer and six frigates to immediately follow the path where the Chinese people attacked just now.
Search the waterway and we must sink them."
"Hai"
The officers all wiped away their tears, with a fierce look in their eyes, and issued combat orders in the war room.
Not to mention that the Japanese destroyers and frigates were frantically searching around for submarines under the water. They knew that the Kaga aircraft carrier was already tilting rapidly when they saw Ryuyu, who was already a few miles away.
It's hopeless.
"Captain, the Japanese have abandoned the ship," Mu Yu shouted excitedly as he observed the movement of the sea through the periscope, "Hey, Japan has such a day."
"Okay, everyone on board, please pay attention, the Japanese destroyer is coming, everyone cheer up. In the torpedo room, hurry up and load the torpedoes." As the captain of the 0001 submarine and the captain of the submarine brigade, Long Yu had to consider
There are still many things to do, and he also knows that it is not the time to celebrate yet. There are still two submarines in his submarine fleet that have not yet escaped.
On the sea, there were nine warships frantically throwing depth bombs all around. Depth bombs exploded continuously on the seabed. The sea rolled for a while, full of momentum. But it is a pity that sonar has not been installed on the ships.
For the Japanese, finding a submarine hidden deep in the water would undoubtedly be like looking for a needle in a haystack. The Japanese three destroyers and six frigates worked hard for a while and found nothing and could only leave in frustration.
"Report, submarines No. 0002 and No. 0003 report that they have broken away from the Japanese ship and are rushing towards our ship." the communications chief reported.
"Okay, order them to return immediately. Also, order the submarine No. 0004 responsible for covering to return immediately with us." Long Yu knew that he could just accept it, otherwise he could not guarantee that he could bring everyone back safely.
"Report, the base ordered us to rush immediately to the sea off Vladivostok at full speed to assist our ships in searching for my fallen pilot." The communications chief suddenly reported again.
Long Yu sighed, knowing that most of the day had passed. The chances of the pilots surviving were very slim, but he still had to do his best to obey fate. "Order all units to advance at full speed to the mission location. Remember, it is to advance at full speed."
In this way, Japan's mixed fleet lost a 45,000-ton heavy aircraft carrier after losing a battleship, a heavy cruiser and seven destroyer frigates. Such a loss was enough to shock the entire country of Japan.
.
In February 1938, a shocking piece of news exploded in the air like spring thunder, rolling rumble across the land of China, and the world also felt its tremor. This winter thunder cut through the thick haze over China,
A glimmer of hope shines on the earth.
"My heroic Seventh Theater Command sank the Japanese aircraft carrier Kaga, battleship Nagato, heavy cruiser Furutaka and seven destroyer frigates in the sea off Vladivostok. The Japanese task force fled in panic."
"The so-called nickname is that the Japanese navy suffered a brutal defeat and was severely beaten by our heroic naval aviation, which showed the prestige of our country."
The news that the Japanese navy suffered a big loss in Vladivostok soon spread throughout the world, and people paid attention to China's immature navy.
Admiral Su Tong, Commander-in-Chief of the Seventh Theater, also proudly announced to the outside world: The shore-based aircraft and submarine forces of the Seventh Theater jointly severely damaged a total of ten Japanese warships, including the Kaga aircraft carrier. The myth of the Japanese navy's invincibility was overthrown.
After breaking us, China also has its own navy.
When the radio waves of the great victory outside Vladivostok spread in all directions, the Chinese people swept away the dullness that had been suppressed for too long. Everyone was ecstatic, and the whole country fell into cheers and excitement. On this day, the negativity and decadence in the hearts of everyone in China
, the pessimistic atmosphere of hating iron for failing to become steel was swept away, and a long breath of long-suppressed bad breath came out.
Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1898, China has been in a dilemma of having no defense at sea. Such a huge country allows the warships of world powers to act arbitrarily on its coastline and in its inland rivers. They can ram Chinese fishing boats and bombard China's land at will.
Of course, the majesty of China is still gone, and Japan is particularly rampant. Now the victory in the seventh theater is like a loud clarion call for attack. They are announcing to the world that China also has its own navy.
