Predator Reborn

thrilling moment

The cruiser command room was surrounded by thick protective steel plates. In the first wave of artillery fire, Fleet Chief of Staff Yamada and Cruiser Fleet Commander Matsushita Lieutenant Colonel and others did not suffer any damage. However, through the lookout in front of them,

The tragic scene on the deck after being baptized by the rocket launcher regiment was still clearly visible before everyone's eyes.

Seeing that almost half of the officers and soldiers on the entire cruiser deck in front of them were enveloped in flames, they kept letting out bursts of heart-rending screams. Daisaku Yamada's face was immediately enveloped in an angry look. He stared at him with a pair of eyes.

With red eyes that could almost kill someone, he shouted an order to the captain of the cruiser beside him, Lieutenant Colonel Matsushita.[..com]

"Baga, the cunning Chinese people, the cunning East China Field Army, dared to sneak attack our fleet with artillery fire. Matsushita-kun, immediately order all naval guns to counterattack and counterattack. Remember, no matter what, the Chinese artillery must be completely destroyed

position, to avenge the officers and soldiers who just died..."

"Hai, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff..." His warship was attacked and his officers and soldiers suffered heavy losses. As the captain, Lieutenant Colonel Matsushita also became furious.

As soon as Chief of Staff Yamada finished speaking, Captain Matsushita ordered angrily to the captain's adjutant behind him.

"Order that all personnel on the ship enter combat status, and that all officers and soldiers enter their respective combat positions. At the same time, order the artillery unit to immediately launch a counterattack and destroy the Chinese artillery positions in the shortest possible time."

"Hai..."

For a time, after being hit hard by rocket launchers, the deck, which had already become a bloody place, once again became chaotic. One by one, the artillerymen who had survived the previous artillery fire, under the command of the captain, mercilessly threw down the weapons in their hands.

The wounded rushed to their fighting positions, preparing for a counterattack.

However, what the Japanese army did not expect was that after just one round of artillery fire, less than half of the remaining officers and men on the entire warship were left. As for the surviving artillery personnel, there were even fewer. After a brief panic, there were only less than one-third.

The naval guns have sufficient artillery and can be used.

However, just when one-third of the naval guns, under the control of the artillery personnel, quickly turned their muzzles and aimed at the rocket launcher position a few kilometers away. An incredible scene appeared to all the Japanese officers and soldiers on the warship.

In the eyes. Of course, this scene also appeared in the eyes of the captain, Lieutenant Colonel Matsushita.

Dozens of small boats, less than 500 meters away from the warship, were rushing towards the warship at their fastest speed. Seeing the scene in the telescope, a bad premonition immediately emerged.

The captain, Lieutenant Colonel Matsushita, was thinking. Then, facing Daisaku Yamada beside him, he couldn't help but exclaimed...

"Chief of Staff, something happened to the Chinese. Dozens of Chinese boats rushed towards us..."

"What kind of boat..." Following Lieutenant Colonel Matsushita's gaze, Daisaku Yamada quickly looked at it

Sure enough, about five hundred meters away from the warship, dozens of small boats, obviously filled with things, were rushing towards the warship they were on at the fastest speed. For a moment, a hint of danger was also felt at the same time.

, appeared on Daisaku Yamada's face. Then, he frowned and ordered to the nervous Daisaku Matsushita in front of him.

"Matsushita-kun, why are you still dazed? Immediately order the naval guns to destroy the Chinese boats. You will never allow a small boat to approach our warship. Quick, right away..."

"Ha Yi, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff..."

"Boom, boom, boom..." Faced with life and death, the reaction speed of the Japanese navy officers and soldiers was very fast.

Just as Lieutenant Commander Matsushita's words fell from the bow of the ship, two large-caliber naval guns, which the remaining officers and men could only fire, made two huge roars. At the same time, the entire bow of the ship also exploded because of the naval guns.

The white smoke produced by the shooting completely enveloped it.

Of course, while the large-caliber naval guns were firing, various small-caliber artillery, anti-aircraft machine guns, and even anti-aircraft guns located on both sides of the warship also joined the war and began to fire dense rounds at dozens of small boats that were getting closer and closer to them.

Fire Network.

Although almost half of the artillery on the entire warship did not fire due to the large number of casualties among the officers and soldiers. In addition, the surviving officers and soldiers were in panic, and the shells fired were not very accurate.

However, the first round of artillery fire still caused a big blow to dozens of small boats...

In the temporary headquarters on the riverside high ground, as the Japanese naval guns began to fire back, all the eyes of the entire headquarters were focused on the nearly a hundred small boats on the river that were making their final charge.

"No, Commander-in-Chief, the Japanese army's first round of artillery counterattack destroyed six of our small boats... And next, the Japanese army's artillery fire will become denser and denser, and its accuracy will become better and better. If this continues, at most

A dozen rounds of artillery counterattacks can destroy all the nearly a hundred small boats left by our army..." Seeing six huge fireballs rising slowly on the river, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan, who was standing next to Liu Hua, immediately said

He said with a worried face.

"Haha, Chief of Staff, you are too worried..." Although the Japanese fleet lost six small boats in one counterattack. However, Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua did not have any worry on his face, but answered confidently.

road.

As the chief of staff, Zuo Quan didn't know where the commander-in-chief's confidence came from. However, out of worries in his heart, he still asked with confusion.

"Commander-in-Chief, why?"

"Our homemade torpedo is only the last 500 meters away from the Japanese warship. However, at a distance of 500 meters, for our high-speed homemade torpedo, it only takes less than a minute to successfully hit the Japanese warship.

.In one minute, how many rounds do you think the enemy's naval guns can fire..."

"I dare not say anything else, but on this matter, I can tell you with great certainty that at least ten of the hundred homemade torpedoes we made can break through this fire net and hit the little devil.

Warship..." Liu Hua replied confidently.

Things turned out to be just as Liu Hua said. Although the Japanese artillery fire became more intense and more accurate, the fast-moving homemade torpedoes also exploded one after another in the dense rain of bullets. However,

, after a final sprint of just one minute, the remaining dozen homemade torpedoes still successfully sprinted to a position less than fifty meters away from the Japanese warship...

At this moment, at a distance of fifty meters, they were already within the blind spot of the Japanese artillery of various calibers. A dozen homemade torpedoes, if nothing unexpected happened, could successfully hit three Japanese warships.

Seeing this, not only Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua, but also Zuo Quan, who was frowning just now, also showed a comfortable smile on his face, because he knew that at this point in the battle, the outcome of the entire battle was already clear.

Visibly displayed in everyone's eyes.

"Boom..." A huge ball of fire soared into the sky from the edge of a cruiser. Immediately afterwards, a huge explosion sounded to everyone's ears.

Raising the telescope in his hand, he saw that the cruiser, which had just been spitting out dense fire nets, was immediately lifted high, and then landed heavily on the river. Of course, a large gap with a diameter of one meter also appeared on the warship.

Below the waterline, a large amount of river water poured into the warship cabin like a flood from a broken embankment.

At this moment, the remaining homemade torpedoes also crashed into the three warships one after another and exploded. For a moment, violent explosions began to sound continuously on the river, tearing apart the thick armor of the warships.

Make gaps.

In the cruiser's command room, with the sound of explosions one after another, the entire warship couldn't help but tremble. Of course, in the constantly shaking command room, the Japanese commanders at all levels were also shaken dizzy.

.

Just after Chief of Staff Yamada Daisaku slowly stood up with the help of the guards, cruiser Captain Matsushita, Commander Matsushita, rushed in with a look of horror on his face and reported.

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, something happened, something happened... A total of six small boats filled with explosives hit our warship. In the explosion just now, two huge pieces were blown out of the bow, middle, and stern of the warship.

gap. At present, the entire warship has completely lost its ability to move. At the same time, a large amount of river water is pouring into the ship, and the entire warship has a tendency to sink..."

"Baga, how could this happen..." Yamada's face immediately showed a look of shock. Then, he asked Matsushita Daisaku in front of him anxiously.

"Where are the other two destroyers? Is there any news...?"

"Two destroyers were hit by three and four small boats loaded with explosives respectively.

One of the destroyers happened to be hit in the ammunition depot. The entire destroyer was directly blown into two pieces by the explosion of ammunition and sank to the bottom of the river. As for the other destroyer, because the power system was damaged, it also lost power and began to

Slowly sinking….

" Lieutenant Colonel Matsushita replied in a deep voice.

"Bagya Road, the cunning Chinese people, the cunning East China Field Army. I never thought that they would use such despicable means to deal with us, bastards..." Thinking of the only three warships that he could rely on, including the

Including a heavy cruiser, it just sank to the bottom of the river. A look of despair immediately appeared on Colonel Yamada's face, and he cursed angrily.

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, the three warships cannot be saved. There are still four hours until dawn. What should we do next?" Lieutenant Colonel Matsushita asked.

"What can we do? Without warships, our navy no longer has any meaning to survive. Give me an order and all officers and soldiers swear to live and die with the fleet. Order all surviving officers and soldiers to continue firing artillery shells at the Chinese until the entire fleet

"Sink to the bottom of the river..." Daisaku Yamada ordered with a firm look on his face.
