It just tilted six degrees and its speed dropped.  This shows that the battleship's skin is solid.  Although this is an old battleship, after several modifications, it can be considered a good big thing.  "Search for the location of the submarine and blow it up!" Several destroyers have already set up their depth bombs, waiting to report the location of the submarine so that they can carry out deep water blasting.  Although the current sonar is not enough to accurately locate a stationary submarine, as long as the submarine has a little movement, it can be heard by the sonar crew. By then, dense depth charges will fall, making it difficult to escape.  But how could Mengzi give them the opportunity to search for the submarine?  Although the submarine was under water fifty meters away and there was no visible submarine launch, it would not allow danger to land on the submarine.  "Rapidly fire for five minutes to sink these four battleships! Continue to attack the port side of the Fuso at point one and be sure to sink it!! Position number two is in place to implement a new wave of interception!" Following his order, the battleship group  The muzzles of the guns were turned one after another. In less than a minute, the shells were replaced, and all the armor-piercing shells flew towards the four destroyers that were advancing forward with a whistling sound.  At the same time, the submarine in the water also received the order, the torpedo tank was ready, and it was waiting for the shell to explode before launching the attack.  At this time, the Fuso had changed from forward to in the middle, and was slowly about to be dropped by the brigade. It had no idea that death had already come.  The searching destroyers were very careful. After all, it was easy for the opponent's artillery to sink them.  But they must find the submarine as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too dangerous.  Just at the stall where they were searching, a penetrating roar suddenly came from the sky, and then patches of fire surrounded the battleship with water jets emerging.  "No! Their target is us!!" The four destroyers were attacked indiscriminately, and everyone was shocked.  They knew how the Kisaragi sank. It was sunk hard and quickly by the opponent's artillery. It was blown up without even a chance to escape or fight back.  "Left rudder five, evade!!" The captains shouted orders without hesitation. They were no better than battleships.  Taking a few hits is like scratching an itch.  That's fatal.  Sure enough, their response was correct. Those shells flashed with fire on the battleship, but could not cause damage to the battleship.  It's different if it falls on their ship.  Being avoided.  There was a loud bang.  One destroyer was hit by six bullets, two hitting the engine room and two hitting the main battery turret.  One hit the bow of the ship, and the other hit the ammunition compartment. Before the fire could spread, the ship broke at the waist with a bang. As the fire rose, the ship plunged into the sea.  The raging flames lit up the sea surface, making the other three destroyers terrified. They increased their power to evade and try to escape.  He didn't even bother to search for submarines. ?????????? But you¡¯ve already opened a knife on them, how can you let them escape?  As the shells fell in pieces, one by one the shells hit the evading warships. With the explosive power of the bang, the three destroyers continued to rise in flames. It was obvious that they had been covered by the shells.  Two minutes later, a loud noise sounded again. One of the destroyers that already had four or five fireballs burst into flames. The flames spread rapidly. The damage control team even had a chance to put out the fire. The entire destroyer was completely covered in flames.  The package, slowly decelerating, screamed with tears, grilling the whole ship.  The two destroyers were relatively lucky. While evading from the left and right, they turned on their horsepower and rushed towards the battleship. After being hit by several bullets and igniting several fires, they were expected to escape.  But at this moment, in the middle and rear part of the battleship fleet, the Fuso, which had slowed down to 18 knots, suddenly exploded violently again. Four torpedoes hit the middle of the side of the Fuso, injuring the already damaged Fuso.  Injured, swaying violently in huge waves.  "Not good!!" Colonel Yomitsu Yoshida was shocked. He held the corner of the table and hissed: "Full the left rudder!! Fill the right balance tank with water!!!" But just after he finished speaking, there were four loud bangs again.  There was a sound, and the left side of the Fuso was once again attacked by four torpedoes. The violent explosion caused the warship that was still swinging to tilt violently to the right again, lifting all the people on the deck and flying off the debris above.  At almost the same moment, the bow of the advancing battleship Yamashiro suddenly erupted into a towering water column, apparently being hit by a torpedo.  Immediately afterwards, the second and third ships burst into flames, and the three battleships were attacked by torpedoes at the same time.  "Not good!!! We encountered an ambush!!!" The series of explosions alerted all the warships. They were ambushed by a submarine. The enemy was attracting them.?Get out of line and then conduct an ambush.  Sure enough, when the Fuso swung back to the left and slowly decelerated, shells suddenly flew towards the fleet like raindrops, towards the panicked battleship group.  The loud bangs continued, and the fast battleships that followed were not spared. The distance between them was more than a thousand meters, and they were still covered by cannonballs. It can be seen that the opponent's gun ports were so numerous that they greatly exceeded the range of fifteen ships.  , I'm afraid there will be more than twenty ships.  The shells fell one by one and occasionally exploded on the battleship.  This time the battleship is no longer so resistant to beatings. When the cannonball falls, Bibao will blow a big hole. Although it cannot penetrate the thick dome armor, how can the damaged steel plate stop the penetration of the second one?  If things go on like this, the battleship will inevitably be hit by armor-piercing projectiles and eventually sink.  "Zuo Manchuo, let's get out of here!!!" Colonel Tsunoda Kakuji, who was named the mountain, shouted loudly.  He knew that if they left as soon as possible, the shells could not sink them, but the torpedoes could.  All the warships gave up the idea of ??chasing the enemy and maintained their formation. While sending electricity to Yamamoto Isoroku, they used the left full rudder to evade and leave the ambush area.  While they were avoiding the turn, the Fuso had tilted more than twenty degrees and could not be righted even with water injection.  Yoshida Yoshimitsu is still insisting. He cannot give up the Fuso, even if there is a little hope.  But his idea was good, but his persistence was in the wrong place.  It's already going to sink him.  How could he be given the opportunity to drift slowly on the sea and wait for rescue?  The lurking Seawolf No. 6 reloaded four torpedoes, twice successively, and fired the third wave of torpedoes at the Fuso.  Twenty seconds later, four oxygen torpedoes hit the wounded Hao one after another at a speed of fifty knots, still on the left side of the ship.  There were two loud bangs, and two torpedoes hit accurately.  Except for one miss in the first wave, eleven of the twelve torpedoes hit.  Amid the loud noise, the Fuso could no longer maintain its stability. After shaking back, the deck tilted.  The ship's hull had exceeded an inclination of thirty-five degrees.  There is no way to right it anymore.  Yoshida Yoshimitsu did not wipe his cheek, which was bleeding from the collision. He ordered with the calmness of the general: "I am Yoshida Yoshimitsu. I order the deep sea valve to be opened and all personnel to abandon the ship!" Following his order.  I love you so much when I stand up.  The crew members ran.  He quickly lowered the lifeboat and began to abandon the ship and escape.  Ono Masamitsu went up to the control tower three minutes later and made a sad report.  The deep sea valve is opened, please captain to leave the ship.  "No. I want to stand on the last guard." Yoshida Yongguang looked at the familiar things in the control tower with blurred eyes, and said in a calm tone: "Ono-kun, Tomooh ordered, abandon the ship." "Hai!" Ono  Zhengguang stood at attention, turned and left with admiration in his eyes, and then joined the ranks of those who abandoned the ship.  "Increase the periscope depth!" Seawolf Six did not continue the attack. They only had four torpedoes, and they had to leave them as a contingency so that they could rush to the supply ship to replenish the torpedoes.  They can quit the fight.  Before leaving, they just wanted to confirm whether the battleship with eleven torpedoes in it could still float. If it still didn't sink, two more torpedoes would be added to completely sink it.  The Fuso was destined to sink. Those warships that avoided leaving did not dare to stay. They drew arcs and left at high speed. While being chased by artillery shells, they quickly fled towards the aircraft carrier formation.  Yamamoto Isoroku has received the report. He was shocked and ordered the fast warships that had been dispatched to return. He did not know the number of enemy warships or the number of submarines.  Judging from the description of the attack, there were at least five submarines around, or it was unknown whether there were more.  That is the killer of aircraft carriers and battleships. If he does not leave, the Yamato will not be able to withstand the torpedo attack.  As for anti-submarine warfare, the accuracy of the enemy's long-range artillery gave him a huge headache.  Those thin-skinned fast battleships can't hold it at all, and they may sink after a few hits.  "Abandon the Mukalla offshore plan and move the fleet closer to the Red Sea!" He quickly ordered to prepare for all evacuation here.  He knew that it was unrealistic for the Army to withdraw from here.  There is still hope for the battleship group to leave, and breaking out is not a problem.  But in the long-prepared plan, those landing ships and troop transport ships are not thirty-two. That number is nearly half of the empire's transportation capacity, so there cannot be any loss.  Yamamoto Isoroku's combined fleet began to leave. Mengzi did not continue the pursuit. He took the battleship to the vicinity of the destroyer that was still burning fiercely. Looking at the Fuso in the distance that was about to capsize, he ordered: "Bombard that destroyer."  Battleship, kill all the Japanese troops in the water, we don¡¯t want to take prisoners!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± All the captains shouted!In addition to the necessary six warships loitering around for protection to prevent Japanese submarines from approaching and enemy sneak attacks, all warships began searching the surroundings. At the same time, the main guns were loaded with armor-piercing shells, and direct bombardment at close range was already tilted.  The sunken Fuso and the still raging fire, but no sunken destroyer.  Loud banging noises came one after another, and the shells accurately hit the two warships.  If the snipers at less than a thousand meters can't hit the target, then their hard training for more than a year and countless shells will be in vain.  The Fuso, which is about to capsize, has opened the deep-sea valve and will sink in just a few hours.  It was violently bombarded, and in just a minute or two, it was hit by dozens of artillery shells. The shells hit the ship, causing the flat and damaged armor to no longer be able to block armor-piercing shells. Then, clouds of flames rose on the battleship.  Yoshida Yoshimitsu did not leave the command tower. During the bombardment, he looked at the fire in the darkness in the distance and raised his binoculars out of habit.  "Ah!! Chinese people!!!" When he saw those yellow-skinned faces that were no different from them, he suddenly realized that this was not the British army, this was the battleship of the advance army!  "It's a pity that he had no chance to convey this news. In the roaring explosion, the fire in the cabin detonated the ammunition compartment, and then with a loud bang, Yoshida Yoshimitsu and the control tower flew into the sky.  The Fuso also accelerated its sinking speed. In just a few minutes, before the fire disappeared, it disappeared on the sea.  Subsequently, another blazing destroyer was also riddled with holes. Although it did not explode, the speed of the water intrusion caused the unexploded warship to sink into the waves in an instant, leaving the sea still burning.  The oil stains illuminated the surrounding corpses and debris floating on the sea in the darkness.  After the two ships sank, the searchlights on all the warships were bright, and one by one semi-automatically probed out to search for targets in the light beams. The gunfire sounded intensively, killing those Japanese soldiers who were still alive.  Especially on the sea surface around the Fuso, heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were all deployed, smashing the lifeboats and tearing apart the Japanese soldiers calling for help.  Let¡¯s change our race in the next life!  Mengzi looked at the figure struggling in the waves and muttered silently in his heart.  Take no prisoners, only target the Japanese. This is the captain's order, and he must implement it.  (To be continued)
