    ?  To build a seaport, in addition to the pier, a sea wall must be built on the periphery to separate the port area from the open sea. There are two main advantages of this.  It can prevent enemy warships from directly entering and attacking ports during wartime.

    However, this layout is only used when modern deep-sea ports are built.  Restricted by technology and resources during World War II, except for some important ports, most ports did not build seawalls.

    For a port like Longkou Port, which has a small throughput, is located deep in the calm Bohai Bay, and is considered absolutely safe, it is even more impossible for the Japanese army to use precious resources to build seawalls.

    However, there are no absolutes in the world. If the Japanese army can predict that their heavy cruiser and a destroyer will be attacked by the Eighth Route Army Navy here, let alone the sea wall, it is estimated that they can build the entire Longkou Port into a city.  fortress.

    But history has never had if

    In order to avoid being passively bombed, friend Yoshisaburo gave the order to retreat, but immediately remembered that the sailors responsible for driving and power had been sent out by him. As a last resort, he had to dispatch the damage control team and gun crew members to the power cabin to help  , although the power drive systems of warships during World War II were relatively simple, it took a lot of time to train in order to operate them proficiently. Those damage control soldiers and ship artillerymen were doing this kind of work for the first time, so the speed can only be imagined.  And I got it.

    It took a full two minutes before the two warships began to turn slowly, and during this time, they endured at least six more rounds of shelling.

    The total weight of the Yukikaze destroyer is only 2,500 tons, and its armor thickness is naturally not comparable to that of the rough-skinned heavy cruiser Kako, especially the superstructure and turret with a steel plate thickness of less than ten millimeters.  In front of the bomb, it was no different from straw paper.

    After several rounds of shelling, two of Yukikaze's three-artillery turrets were damaged, and two 610mm quadruple torpedo tubes were also damaged. As for the machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, they were all blown into parts.  , Even the mast behind the bridge was blown off in the middle by a precisely dropped high-explosive bomb.

    Looking at the Yukikaze that had begun to rise in thick smoke, Tomoban Jisaburo broke into a cold sweat. He didn't expect the artillery of the Eighth Route Army to be so powerful that a destroyer was crippled in just a few rounds of shelling.  In order to avoid greater damage to the Yukikaze, the naval policy of "when retreating, important ships should be evacuated first" was decisively abandoned, and the Yukikaze was allowed to leave the port first.

    Friend Yoshisaburo never imagined in his dreams that his originally kind order became a reminder to ruin Xuefeng!

    Two minutes later, the Yukikaze completed its turn and began to accelerate towards the open sea, just when his friend Yoshizaburo wanted to order the Kako to speed up its turn and follow it away.  But suddenly I remembered a shocking explosion¡ªa huge water column appeared in front of the Snow Wind, the entire bow of the ship was lifted out of the water by the huge impact, and a shocking explosion suddenly appeared on the waterline of the bow.  The big hole, the sea water poured in madly made the bow of Xuekaze sink towards the sea surface at a speed visible to the naked eye.

    "What exactly happened? Why did the Yukikaze explode suddenly?" Yoshisaburo Tomoban yelled, and the chief of staff and the surviving sailors in Cambridge also had bewildered expressions on their faces.

    At this time, the observer's scream sounded on the radio: "Your Excellency, there are several ships on the sea are rushing towards us!"

    Friend Yoshizaburo hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked out to the sea, and saw five ships that were not too big rushing towards the port from a position of about five kilometers away.  Like flying on the surface of the water, after a few breaths, Yoshisaburo Tomoban saw the cold light emitted by the huge-caliber torpedo launchers on those ships through the telescope.  Obviously, the Yukikaze was hit by the torpedoes launched by these ships.

    Although none of the five ships had flags or clear signs, in this case, there was no need to guess that these ships must be the sea guerrillas from Tuba Road.

    "Torpedo boat! All the guns immediately turn their muzzles and prepare to shoot!" Yoshisaburo yelled into the ship's communicator. Because of extreme fear, his voice was completely out of tune and became very sharp like a hog and a dog.  , People couldn't help shaking when they heard it, and a layer of goose bumps immediately appeared.

    But at this moment, no one cares about these details. All the sailors on the Kagu know what the consequences will be if they are approached by a torpedo boat. The Kagu is indeed a steel hill, but don¡¯t forget that this mountain is floating on the sea.  As long as it is hit by a torpedo or two, it will sink to the bottom no matter how big it is.

    Now the only thing Japanese sailors can do?It is to completely sink those torpedo boats before they launch their torpedoes.  But then, they were dumbfounded. Just now, in order to bombard the Eighth Route Army positions, all the muzzles were turned to face the land. Now to bombard the sea, it is equivalent to turning the turret by 180 degrees.  Even if the driving power of the turret is maximized, it will take at least three to five minutes, but will those Eighth Route Army torpedo boats give them so much time?

    the answer is negative.

    It took less than two minutes for the Huchuan-class torpedo boat to increase the speed of the ship to 55 knots, and shorten the distance between the two sides to about two kilometers.  Then the water splashed, and each of the five torpedo boats released a torpedo, which was nearly eight meters long and weighed two tons. After entering the water, the torpedo became as light and flexible as a sea fish.  At a high speed of knots, it shot straight at the Kako 2000 meters away.

    Immediately, there was a burst of shouting and shouting on the Jiagu, seeing these five big guys rushing towards him with five straight wakes, these devil sailors immediately fell into madness.

    "Full right rudder, full right rudder! Avoid torpedoes!" The sharp voice of Tomoban Yoshizaburo sounded again.

    The helmsman quickly turned the steering wheel to the right, and at the same time made a vigorous expression on his face, hoping that Jujiagu could turn hard like him.

    However, he was daydreaming, fully loaded with a displacement of more than 11,000 tons, even at normal speed, it would take about half a minute to complete a 90-degree turn, and the current speed of the Kako is less than ten knots.  It means that the water flow agitated by the propeller at low speed is not enough to cause a strong impact on the rudder plate. Simply put, it takes more time for the Kako to turn.

    In all fairness, if the sailors in charge of power and driving are still there, with their skilled operation, it may not be impossible for the Kako to accelerate to the normal speed in a short time, so that the impact rudder board can obtain enough steering impact,  But the problem is, those people were all sent to attack the Linglong Mine. It is simply a dream to let the damage control and naval gunners who are in contact with the power system for the first time complete extremely complicated operations in a short period of time.  Now while they were working hard to open and close the various valves, they prayed in their hearts that the torpedo launched by the Eighth Route Army would arrive after the Jiagu turned around.

    This wish is doomed to fail.

    One and a half minutes later, when the Kako had only completed a 60-degree turn, the Yuyi torpedo had already completed the 1,800-meter distance.

    Seeing the five trajectories getting closer and closer on the sea, Yoshizaburo yelled: "Prepare for collision prevention!" Then he grabbed the table beside him tightly, waiting for the violent explosion with ashen face.

    Maybe it was really Amaterasu, the old woman who appeared. The torpedo that arrived first passed the bow of the ship that was turning, and then another torpedo fired towards the stern of the ship also missed Kagu at a distance of less than ten meters.  No. Missed.

    The third shot hit the center of the Kako's hull firmly, "Boom!" There was a loud crashing sound at the position of the hit mine, but the expected violent explosion did not happen¡ªyes, this torpedo was  Stinky bomb!

    Li Hui, who was in the tank and witnessed all this through observation, fisted his fists for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, those marines actually fooled me with this kind of stink bomb that doesn't explode, okay, I will remember that."  Stop, next time when I'm shopping, if I don't let them give you a 30% discount, I won't be sexual!"

    In fact, Li Hui really wronged him. After all, these torpedoes have been stored in the reserve warehouse for more than 30 years. Although the Navy spends a lot of effort on maintenance every year, no one can guarantee that all these "old things"  It also maintains combat performance.

    Although the first three torpedoes failed to hit the Kako due to various reasons, the Japanese sailors let out a long sigh of relief, but what should come will always come. Moments later, the fourth torpedo was installed on Kagu.  At the position near the bow of the ship, the composite steel plate with a thickness of several tens of millimeters has no effect on the semi-armour-piercing warhead of the torpedo.

    With a sound of "Crack!", the torpedo was like stabbing tofu with fire chopsticks, tearing a big hole near the bottom of the ship.

    Then, "Boom!"

    A thunderous roar resounded through the entire sea area, a soaring water column rose from the impact position, and huge waves threw the front half of the Jiagu high.

    The scene inside the Kako was not much better. The huge energy generated by the explosion of 400 kilograms of high explosives tore apart several layers of steel plates at once, and the flames and shock waves swept through more than a dozen cabins in an instant, just at the explosion point.  More than a dozen Japanese soldiers disappeared without a trace immediately, and dozens of sailors were shocked to death or roasted by the high temperature and air waves.

    Before the aroma of the barbecue wafted away, a large amount of seawater poured in along the hole with a radius of 5 or 6 meters¡ªthis giant sea monster began to take in water!

    Then, Yoshisaburo took a deep breath again, because he could clearly see that on the dark sea in the distance, there were still a few black shadows in the shape of boats flashing, counting roughly, no fewer than 7.8, and  These ships are distributed in a fan shape, and the distance between each other is about one kilometer, completely blocking the outer sea. It is obvious that the Kako and the Yukikaze have been tightly blocked in the port.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)The holes poured in¡ªthe sea monster started to take in water!
