    The first mate of the Tianlong is nearly fifty years old, not only has very rich experience, but also is cautious by nature. He suggested to Masao Kimura: "Your Excellency, the captain, the fleet has crossed the middle line of the Bohai Sea, and the coast of Shandong is further ahead.  That is the range of activities of the Eighth Route Army Navy. The subordinates suggested that we should change the formation and line up one or two destroyers as the leader to scout the situation in the sea ahead to avoid being ambushed by the Eighth Route Army. After all, they have the ability to wipe out the Weihai and Yantai naval forces.  Strong combat power. I really have to guard against it!'

    After hearing this, Masao Kimura said indifferently: "What's so scary about the small ** navy? I have seen the telegrams sent by the Yantai and Weihai defenders before they were wiped out. The Eighth Route Army navy that attacked them wanted to use torpedo boats."  And the gunboat, the tonnage is less than 500, the speed is very fast, and the firepower is very fierce. But such a small boat can attack the port with a sudden surprise attack. It is tantamount to courting death if you want to engage in a frontal naval battle with a light cruiser in that fleet  , if they really have the guts to launch an attack, then we can just take advantage of our firepower and send them all to the bottom of the sea with dense naval guns to feed the fish. This is also the reason why I didn't disperse the fleet.'

    Hearing this, the first mate couldn't say anything more, but the worry on his face didn't diminish in the slightest.

    Seeing this, Masao Kimura explained: "It is right to be cautious, but it also depends on who the opponent is. Although the navy of the Eighth Route Army has developed rapidly recently, it has also brought us a lot of trouble. But in the final analysis, they are at best  It is nothing more than a sea guerrilla equipped with some small ships. And the reason why they were able to achieve such results before is entirely because we underestimated the enemy and did not expect that the Tubalu would suddenly have a sea force. Once we pay attention,  Just relying on their small boats, it is impossible to be the opponent of our powerful Japanese navy"

    "Boom" As the saying goes, don't pretend to be a wave. If you pretend to be struck by lightning, the real face-slap always comes so fast.  Before Masao Kimura finished speaking, there was a thunderous explosion. At the same time, a huge water column rose from the waterline on the left side of the Tenryu, and the hull weighing more than 3,000 tons shook violently.  Unprepared, Masao Kimura rushed forward and fell a piece of shit. The delicate coffee cup in his hand also collided with the floor, and it immediately became torn apart. One of the flying fragments fell on Masao Kimura's body  There was a gash more than an inch long on the face, and the bright red blood covered half of the cheek in an instant.

    Masao Kimura didn't care about the gash on his face. After struggling to get up from the ground, he shouted to the first officer: "Go and see what happened!"

    As soon as the voice fell, the internal phone on the ship rang. As soon as it was picked up, the panic of the damage control team leader came from inside: "Report, we have hit a mine!"

    Masao Kimura and the chief mate were shocked when they heard the words, no need to ask, it must have been deployed by the Eighth Route Army, but how did the Tuba Road have such a rare weapon?

    That's right, although all the major military powers at that time had fully installed naval mines.  The number of sea mines owned by major participating countries such as Britain, the United States, Germany, and Japan is in the tens of thousands. However, for China, which has a very weak industrial foundation and cannot even manufacture artillery, sea mines are still very scarce.  The dignified national army and navy only have more than a hundred of them, and they were used up long ago when they blocked the Yangtze River. Where did they get these dirt roads?

    But now is obviously not the time to think about this matter, Masao Kimura immediately asked into the microphone: "How is the damage to the hull!"

    The damage control team leader replied: "The enemy's sea mines are very powerful. A large hole with a diameter of nearly 3 meters was blown directly on the bottom of the left ship, but fortunately there was only one. I have closed the water barrier in the explosion area and controlled  The amount of water ingress has been reduced. I believe it will slow down the number of lines a little. It will not have any other impact on the ship!'

    Masao Kimura was relieved when he heard the words. After all, the Tenryu is a light cruiser of more than 3,000 tons. A sea mine, no matter how powerful it is, cannot cause devastating damage to the hull.  Immediately, he praised the damage control team leader: "It's a good job. After the water intake is stable, try to repair the damaged hull. It doesn't matter even if it can't be repaired. Anyway, it's going to Yantai soon. As long as you don't let others  The water in the warehouse will affect the battle of the warship!"

    After hanging up the phone, Masao Kimura ordered the communications soldier: "Order the fleet to stop advancing immediately. Let the destroyer clear the mines."

    After receiving the order, the three destroyers in the Japanese formation immediately moved forward, lined up at intervals of 500 meters, and began to search for mines under the water.

    In addition to air defense, the main function of this destroyer is to clear mines, so the three warships are equipped with professional equipment for searching and clearing anchor mines.  The Japanese sailors on the ship are also very familiar with this job.

      But what people didn't expect was.  The gang of devils worked hard for a long time, but they didn't find any signs of mines under the water surface.

    After receiving the report, Masao Kimura decided that the number of mines obtained by the Tuba Road must not be many, and there may even be only one mine.  However, he did not take it lightly, and immediately ordered the destroyer to explore the way ahead and clear the mines according to the chief mate's previous suggestion.

    So the three destroyers kept their formation and moved forward slowly, but they hadn't gone 500 meters.  A violent water column rose below the waterline of the destroyer Banner on the right, and the sound of an explosion resounded throughout the sea.

    Masao Kimura quickly raised his binoculars to look.  I saw a very tiny vortex appearing on the sea surface close to the flag wind-it was a sign that the hull was flooding crazily.  Before he allowed him to communicate and inquire about the situation, a column of water rose from the rear of the Hatakekaze, and a huge wave rushed towards a giant hand, dragging the entire stern of the ship up at once. Through the telescope, you can see  It is clearly seen that the propeller of the Banfeng has disappeared, replaced by a large hole that can be used for cars to enter and exit.

    Then the tide receded.  The flag wind, which was raised by more than three meters, fell heavily on the sea like a toy that was discarded indiscriminately.

    The huge impact made the two holes on the bottom of the ship even bigger. The Banner, with a displacement of only 1,270 tons, certainly couldn't withstand such a huge damage.  With the crazy influx of sea water.  The hull sank rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after a while, it completely disappeared on the sea.  The sailors on board sank to the bottom of the sea with the warship before they even had time to escape for their lives.

    But they are not alone.  Not long after Hatakekaze was hit by mines, Yukaze, which was walking on the left, was also hit by a mine. Although there was only one mine, the hull began to flood with water and quickly poured.

    Watching in an instant.  Two destroyers were attacked, and all Japanese troops, including Masao Kimura, were dumbfounded.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
