    Eight torpedo planes suddenly found the opportunity and began to besiege the battleship Haruna.

    Since there were no anti-aircraft weapons on the Haruna battleship, the sailors on the Haruna could only watch the torpedo planes approaching the battleship where they were.

    Since the Haruna lacked anti-aircraft weapons, these eight torpedo planes were as close as possible to the Haruna in order to increase the hit rate.

    Suddenly, when these eight torpedo planes were very close to the battleship Haruna, they suddenly dropped the torpedo in their magazine.

    Eight torpedoes brought up eight white waves and rushed towards the Haruna.

    "Avoid!"

    "Avoid!"

    Suddenly the sound of evasion on the Haruna began to resound.

    Okada Kinoshita looked at one of the white waves outside, and his heart suddenly lifted.

    Without anti-aircraft weapons, it is impossible to prevent the enemy's torpedo planes from approaching. We can only watch them approach our battleships, and then release the torpedoes calmly.

    "Boom~"

    "Boom~"

    Seven explosions in a row suddenly came.

    The entire Haruna battleship seemed to have hit a big mountain, and Okada Kinoshita, who was standing in the bridge conning tower, was knocked down.

    "Eight~ga~"

    Okada Kinoshita stood up, feeling the pain in his forehead, and couldn't help but cursed angrily.

    "Your Majesty Colonel! We were hit by seven more torpedoes! Damage control personnel are now making emergency repairs."

    A sailor with his face covered in sea water ran up and said loudly.

    "I know, hurry up and fix it!"

    Okada Kinoshita always had a bad premonition in his heart. According to his calculations, ten torpedoes were hit in a row, seven of which were hit consecutively. Such a thing has never happened since the naval battle.

    The damage control personnel may not be able to stop it!

    "Report! A fire broke out inside the hull. The side armor belt penetrated by the torpedo could not be blocked in time!"

    What Okada Kinoshita was most worried about really happened.

    Generally, a battleship like this with a displacement of 30,000 to 40,000 tons will not sink if it is hit by ten torpedoes.

    But this time, seven torpedoes hit her in a row in just a few minutes.

    There were seven big holes at one time, and now the damage control personnel, no matter how elite they were, had nothing to do.

    ??The battleships that can still escape after being hit by more than a dozen torpedoes are because the torpedoes are coming in one at a time. No one has ever encountered one that hit seven torpedoes in a row within a few minutes.

    "The greatest efforts have been made to save the battleship!"

    Okada Kinoshita could only order like this.

    This battleship was built during World War I, but its hull is still a bit aging.

    It has been under construction for twenty-sixty-seven years, and it is really unbearable to face such a naval battle.

    "Ha~yi~"

    The damage control personnel continued to rescue, but the torpedo planes in the sky saw another raging fire on the battleship Haruna. They were guessing that there must be a big fire inside the battleship, otherwise there would never be such a big fire.  of smoke.

    Then three more torpedo planes began to attack the Haruna.

    Amidst three huge explosions, the Haruna was once again attacked by three torpedoes.

    Okada Kinoshita's face was ashen, now he could guess the future of the Haruna battleship.

    Being targeted by countless dive bombers and torpedo planes, and now that the battleship Haruna has been hit by thirteen torpedoes, the Haruna may soon begin to sink.

    Slowly, Okada Kinoshita discovered that Haruna's speed began to slow down.

    "Eight~what's going on? Why has the speed slowed down? Go and ask!"

    Okada Kinoshita shouted angrily.

    Soon, a staff officer ran up with a dark face.

    "Your Excellency, Colonel! Only one boiler is working now! The other boilers have been forced to shut down!"

    "Is the Haruna really going to sink?"

    Okada Kinoshita said with some reluctance after hearing this.

    "Report! Damage control personnel are unable to repair ten large holes, and now a large amount of water is entering the interior of the ship!"

    Suddenly, a piece of news reached Okada Kinoshita's ears. Upon hearing the news, Okada Kinoshita knew that the Haruna had definitely sunk.

      Can¡¯t block the water inlet?  Is there a lot of water taking in?

    A ship that is taking on a lot of water has a foreseeable future. It can only sink unless it sinks.

    Less than two minutes after the Okada Kinoshita sank, I felt the hull begin to tilt. Although the amplitude was not large, it also showed that the Haruna was sinking.

    "Order all sailors to abandon the ship immediately! Rush to the nearby battleship Fuso!"

    Okada Kinoshita issued the order to abandon the ship, and when they abandoned the ship, they discovered that the battleship Haruna was slowly sinking.

    At this rate, it will all sink in a few hours.

    And when the torpedo planes in the sky saw that the battleship had begun to sink and the sailors above had abandoned the ship, they knew that the battleship had no attack value, and then shifted their target to the battleship Fuso.

    The battleship Fuso was a battleship commissioned by the Little Japanese in 1912.

    It has been refitted twice.

    The first modernization was in 1923, and the second modernization was from 1930 to 1933.

    What¡¯s interesting is that neither of the two modernizations of the Little Devil added anti-aircraft weapons to the Fuso. Instead, the biggest increase was the cannon.

    When the battleship Fuso was built, it had only four single-mounted 12.7 mm 40-caliber anti-aircraft guns, and this is still the case after modification.

    The little devil doesn¡¯t pay attention to air defense at all, which also results in the fact that the battleship Fuso has anti-aircraft firepower.

    But in fact it is still just a symbolic weapon!

    ¡°I guess if it wasn¡¯t for the sake of symbolism, I¡¯m afraid they wouldn¡¯t even install these four.

    When a huge fleet of aircraft was constantly attacking the Little Japanese flying formation, Yang Jie had a question in the headquarters of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army in Nanjing.

    "Chief! Why did you give the order to destroy the Japs' aircraft carriers by destroying their carrier-based aircraft instead of launching an attack on their aircraft carriers?"

    Yang Jie looked at Zhou Weiguo and asked.

    "Soseki, what do you think of the future situation of the world?"

    Zhou Weiguo did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

    "What's the meaning?"

    Yang Jie¡¯s brows wrinkled again.

    "The Pacific is big! But it can't accommodate two naval powers. You also guessed before that World War II is about to break out.

    The result of your discussion at that time was that the German mustache would definitely provoke a war.  Today I will tell you about the Pacific War again!  "

    Zhou Weiguo put his hands on the table, looked at Yang Jie and Jiang Baili next to him and said in a deep voice.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
