The position of the bomb was manually adjusted and placed, so it was very accurate. Moreover, it had double insurance on one left and one on the right, so the boiler of another seaplane carrier was also detonated directly. Although the hull was not blown into two sections, the fire could be said to have ignited most of the cabins on the ship instantly. Fundamental damage was caused. The bottom and sides of the hull looked like a giant monster had taken several bites, with irregular torn shapes and huge holes.
Therefore, it only took half of the time for this seaplane carrier to explode and sink to the bottom of the sea. As for the remaining destroyers, almost all of them were sunk by one shot. After all, these things are really not resistant to fighting. As soon as the aniseed mine exploded, the destroyer's hull was almost thrown up from the water. The entire bottom was shredded. The ammunition bays on several destroyers were detonated on the spot. The hull was really blown to pieces, no exaggeration.
The explosion occurred at nine o'clock sharp, but by nine forty, two seaplane carriers, six destroyers, and a total of eight Japanese warships, all sank to the bottom of the sea.
The roar of the explosion almost shook the entire city of Guangzhou. In addition, the entire port was not blocked, so there were many witnesses. Confirming the accuracy of the news became a very simple matter. The telegraph signal kept spreading in the air. Soon, Chongqing and even the country were covered by the news.
The Japanese and puppets were so busy that they were trying to investigate the matter while trying to suppress the news. They were confused. The little devil immediately went crazy. The Navy Department directly sent people from the Lan Agency to Guangzhou, and cooperated with the local Lan Agency to investigate the matter. There is a long list of people who have been dismissed from office and held accountable. For a time, it can be said that people were panicked.
Fan Keqin, who planned this incident, had no feeling at all. Because he and Zhuang Xiaoman had already entered Sichuan at this time. Once you enter Kawachi, it is almost truly safe.
When the ship docked at the coral dam pier, Fan Keqin and Zhuang Xiaoman got off the ship. It was about six o'clock in the evening. Fan Keqin directly called two rickshaws and sent the girl home first. Then he also returned home.
Lu Xiaoya was writing something at home at this time. She heard a noise at the door and hurried over to check. But Fan Keqin opened the door and walked in. Ah let out a cry of surprise, ran two steps quickly, and got a hug.
Fan Keqin supported her, hugged her, and said, "How is it? Are you surprised or surprised?"
"Yeah, yeah." Lu Xiaoya nodded repeatedly and said, "Surprise, I didn't know you were coming back at this time. Have you eaten? You must be hungry."
Fan Keqin hugged her and walked in, saying: "Ha, I rushed home as soon as I got off the boat. I haven't eaten yet. I'm so hungry that I'm not hungry, so I think I can take a mandarin duck bath first. What do you think?" "
Lu Xiaoya immediately became happy and said, "I think it's okay."
The two of them didn't go upstairs at all, and stayed in the living room for a while. Lu Xiaoya boiled water first, and Fan Keqin was allowed to eat first. I've gathered enough energy to take a shower...
The next morning, Fan Keqin first made a call to the security bureau. It was late yesterday, so that was it. But it's different now. You still need to say hello to Sun Guoxin.
As a result, Sun Guoxin looked very happy when he answered the phone. You must know that the bureau chief is very calm and can be said to be indifferent to emotions and anger. Now he is happy and out loud, either he is acting or he is really happy.
As for acting, there is no reason why he can't be compared to Fan Keqin at this time. So it can be seen that Sun Guoxin was really in a good mood. He praised Fan Keqin and then gave him a big holiday. There is no time limit, you can come back to work whenever you want. He also emphasized that he was not allowed to come to the bureau for at least a week.
Fan Keqin thanked him, but the second call was to his brother. Qian Jinxun was also very happy and said waiting. It didn't take long and we went straight to the door.
It happened that Lu Xiaoya and the other two had also cooked breakfast, and everyone ate first. Then the two brothers entered the study directly.
Yes, this was deliberately hidden from Lu Xiaoya, and this was the rule. In addition, if these things are known to the women in the family, they will have no other effect except being frightened. So it is better to hide it.
Lu Xiaoya also understood what the two brothers did, so she didn't ask any questions. After clearing the dishes, she left the entire house to the two brothers and went out to the publishing house.
Taking out a box of cigars from the cabinet, Fan Keqin and Qian Jinxun each lit a cigarette. Qian Jinxun took a beautiful puff and said: "You boy, you are really good. I didn't expect this." Everything was done by you. When I received the telegram, I was a little confused at that moment. The second reaction was to immediately verify the authenticity, but it turned out to be very easy. According to the reaction of the brothers in the local area, the scene at the time There were a lot of people, and many of them witnessed the entire process from the explosion to the sinking. I heard that the Japs and the puppet government had several salvage ships and were trying to salvage the sunken waters. Judging from the current situation, everything If it’s not recovered, it’s probably of low salvage value.”
Fan Keqin said: "I evacuated half a day in advance, so I really don't know the specific situation at that time. Tell me, how long did the whole process take?"
"After investigation," Qian Jinxun said, "less than forty minutes after the explosion, the two seaplane carriers and six destroyers had completely sunk to the bottom of the sea."
"Well." Fan Keqin took a puff of his cigar, took advantage of this time to think about it, and said: "A ship sinks. In fact, this process is not fast. Of course, I am talking about the situation of Tongchang. But now this process is less than Forty minutes means that the damage was extremely severe. That’s why it sank to the bottom of the sea so quickly. In this case, the value of salvage is indeed not great. In addition, after calculation, we installed the bomb at the boiler position, so I think all the boilers were basically destroyed, so the salvage value would be even lower.”
Having said this, Fan Keqin took another puff, exhaled a beautiful blue smoke, and continued: "But the little devil is short of supplies. It would be good to salvage some steel. But I want to restore those ships through repairs." , I think the possibility is very low... I'll ask Ma Chunliang later, this guy is the ship expert."
Qian Jinxun said cheerfully: "This kid has made such great contributions when he first came here. Logically speaking, it is reasonable to upgrade him to several levels. What are you going to do?"
"Oh?" Fan Keqin asked, "What...do you have to say?"
