Chapter 1295： Take turns (1/2)
Chapter 1295
After making arrangements for tomorrow’s battle, Su Xiong arranged for the night’s officers, and then went back to rest. The two German fast battleships concealed themselves in the dark, but they were not worried that they could not be found. Opponents, because when they were resting, someone did not rest! When the dinosaurs on the water finished hunting, the wolves hiding under the water also showed their hideous fangs!
The destroyer Asagiri and another transport ship were ordered to stay in this waters temporarily to rescue those who fell into the water, watching the dark night around them and the battlefield like a Shura field. The sailors on the Asagiri also felt guilty. God knows if the two German fast battleships just went far... Will it kill a carbine or something? After more than ten minutes, Asagiri could not even find the two fast battleships of its own, because the latter had implemented light control and was also hidden in the dark night. In this perilous sea, the only way to stay Discovery is the safest.
A survival boat was lowered from the side of the boat, and each lifeboat had a group of rescuers. With the help of the searchlights on the boat, these people rowed the survival boat and began to pull the people who were still in the water but still in the water. On board.
”No way, throw it down.” Akita Ichiro said helplessly as he looked at a person with severe burns all over his body. This was already the sixth dying person he threw down. After falling into the water, he was scalded by the hot seawater (for example, a shell was just dropped next to it, and the water is a poor conductor of heat), scratched by some hard objects, and even caused by incorrect posture after jumping into the water from a height The impact is to take the fragile lives of mankind.
The entire rescue operation proceeded very slowly, because it was not a ship that was sunk, nor was it that a small number of people fell into the water. For example, on the Awa Maru, it is estimated that more than four digits of people fell into the water, and more than 500 people needed help. However, there are only two ships to perform this task, saving people in the dark of night, the difficulty can be imagined.
”Telegraph to the flagship and send another ship over.” Asagiri's captain ordered. However, at this moment, the transport ship Kawauchi, which was on mission with Asagiri, suddenly heard a loud noise!
boom! The deafening explosion sounded again over the battlefield. Just as the transport ship salvaged the overwhelmed man, the U154 submarine sneaked over and shot two torpedoes less than 1,000 meters away from the opponent! Originally the torpedo captain planned to make four rounds, but the captain thought it was a waste!
Without noticing Kawauchi, two torpedoes dragged white tails across the blue sea. Two minutes later, the two torpedoes hit the target one after another. Each torpedo had a TNT weighing more than 150KG. Explosives, good luck, 2 torpedoes can send a British battleship to the bottom of the sea, let alone this transport ship with a displacement of only 6,000 tons!
Don't think about it, in less than 1 minute, the Kawauchi transport ship broke into 3 knots directly under the powerful explosion and its own weight! The one that was sinking was called a clean and tidy one. When the hull sank into the water, more than 90% of the people on it had no time to escape. Not only that, the hundreds of people who fell into the water who were just rescued aboard the ship once again returned to the embrace of the sea.... But this time, most of them had no chance to be rescued again, because the vortex created by the sinking of the ship directly sucked them all into the depths of the sea!
”There are submarines!” Although I have never experienced this kind of fear of being killed invisible before. However, the rumors of various Allied submarines NB have been heard for a long time. The destroyer Asagiri immediately issued a submarine attack alert, and notified the fleet commander Kanji Kato via telegram. However, for even depth bombs and hydrophones The two Japanese fast battleships that did not have any weapons informed them that they would not bring any essential help to the Asagiri, but would only allow Kanji Kato to hide in the night even more resolutely, even for safety, hesitate to pull it away. distance. After all, not every ship is called fearless, with a bow that can anti-submarine... (The Intrepid has hit and sunk a submarine)
