Captain Wang was dissatisfied with Duanwu's commanding ability. Let alone the Sixing Warehouse, even the battle in the prisoner of war camp is definitely a classic.
It only took less than five minutes for Dragon Boat Festival to occupy the entire prisoner of war camp.
The Japs gathered in five minutes, and then the Japs were shot on the spot. It was that simple.
Therefore, if someone else said that they would sink the enemy ship when the Izumo lost all its weapons and suffered heavy damage, Captain Wang would not believe it.
But during the Dragon Boat Festival, Captain Wang believed it.
Without further ado, Captain Wang immediately ordered a retreat. Only Duanwu was left in the entire cab.
At this moment, Xie Jinyuan came, and the knife came, and they all wanted to live and die with the Dragon Boat Festival and the Izumo. But they were all driven away by the Dragon Boat Festival.
Nowadays, it is useless how many people are left. The weapon systems on the Izumo are either destroyed or misfired due to lack of ammunition.
In this case, no matter how many people are left, they are all buried with the Izumo.
In other words, Captain Wang was deceived by Dragon Boat Festival.
This is another white lie. If Duan Wu did not deceive Captain Wang, then it would be Captain Wang who rushed to the enemy ship at this time.
Of course, Danwu was definitely not trying to be a hero. He just didn't want the Izumo to sink so early. He had to persist until the fallen warriors swam to the shore safely.
"Hurry, hurry! Get into the water immediately. No one will be left on the boat. Jump, jump quickly. You can't fall to a height of more than ten meters. No one will be killed."
Xie Jinyuan took command and loudly ordered the soldiers to jump from the ship.
At this time, it was at a height of more than ten meters, and the Izumo was still traveling very fast.
Looking at the rough river surface under the boat and the dizzying height. The soldiers really didn't dare to jump down. What's more, a large number of the soldiers can't swim.
But at this time, military orders were overwhelming. They jumped off the ship holding lifebuoys and various floating objects that could float themselves on the sea.
After entering the water, those who know how to swim will instruct their comrades who could not swim before how to move their bodies forward so that they can swim ashore.
A large group of people, more than three hundred in number, swam towards the shore.
This is the only remaining strength of the independent regiment, and all the rest were sacrificed in this naval battle.
So Dragon Boat Festival once said something to all warriors.
Dragon Boat Festival said: Where there is war, there will be sacrifices. It is just a matter of how much.
We must try our best to avoid sacrifice, but when there is no way to retreat, we must dare to fight to the death with the little devil.
And this naval battle was exactly like that.
The independent regiments in the Dragon Boat Festival are all armies, and fighting naval battles is just a joke.
If the army can fight naval battles, what else does the navy do?
But it was such an army that won this war!
They don't rely on luck, nor simply courage. But they have no retreat. If they cannot win this war, then they will only die.
Therefore, during the Dragon Boat Festival strategizing, the Little Devil's six ships of different types were all sunk and they fought their way out of the siege.
And if the Japanese flying brigade had not suddenly appeared, the Dragon Boat Festival would have been ashore long ago.
Of course, if the little Japanese fleet hadn't come to Cheng Heng to intervene, the Dragon Boat Festival wouldn't have been so passive.
When Xie Jinyuan reported to Duanwu, Duanwu had not yet received information about the Little Japanese fleet.
At that time, although the Japanese fighters and bombers were still attacking with great force. But Dragon Boat Festival had no intention of ordering the soldiers to jump ship immediately. He was even thinking about whether he could annihilate the little Japanese flying brigade.
After all, the Japs' plane bombings have been going on for some time. Although their offensive is still fierce. However, Duanwu judged that the Little Japanese Air Force was at the end of its war effort and could run out of bullets at any time and escape.
What Dragon Boat Festival has to do is to delay time and maintain the Izumo's combat effectiveness.
It's just a pity that another fleet of the Little Devils has arrived, with a total of three Little Devils warships of various types (cruisers, destroyers, frigates).
Attacking from the front and back, the Dragon Boat Festival is in a dilemma. Then all officers and soldiers were ordered to dive to escape and swim ashore.
I just didn't expect that the little devil would be so sad and crazy. However, seeing the Chinese troops on the Izumo fall into the water, they actually added insult to injury. Some of them continued to pursue the Izumo, while the other three fighter planes launched retaliatory shots at the officers and soldiers of the independent regiment who fell into the water.
The soldiers of the Independent Regiment were all on the sea and could not fight back at all. They could only watch helplessly as one, two, three, etc. comrades were shot by the machine gun bullets of the little Japanese. Hit, then slowly sink.
Xie Jinyuan was heartbroken because some of the soldiers who died were veterans of the original Sixing Warehouse.
Veterans are as precious as treasures, especially when there are many new recruits and the consumption of soldiers is extremely high.
"Brothers, spread out and swim to the shore, quickly!"
Xie Jinyuan gave a loud order, and the soldiers quickly separated and wandered away.
When the Little Japanese plane turned around and flew back again, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment on the sea had dispersed and spread all over the river.
Seeing this, the Little Japanese pilot reluctantly retreated, and then continued to pursue the Izumo.
On the Izumo, there were fires everywhere at this time, and there were at least sixteen fires.
The Japanese planes kept dropping bombs, and every time the Izumo was hit by a bomb, the entire hull would shake violently.
Duanwu sat in the cockpit, his body constantly shaking with the hull.
Danwu kept looking straight ahead, and then suddenly slowed down in coordination with the bombing by Japanese bombers, causing the illusion that the Izumo was seriously damaged in the explosion.
At the same time, the Japanese cruiser, which was less than two nautical miles away from the Izumo, was gradually approaching.
The captain, Lieutenant Commander Minamikawa, used a telescope to see the Izumo's burning and slowing down, and mistakenly believed that the Izumo could no longer hold on.
He ordered loudly: "Aim at the Izumo and launch a bombardment. This credit cannot be attributed to their flying group alone. I will use cannonballs to make a big hole in the Izumo's hull."
"Hi!"
The Japanese adjutant responded, and the three ships, Nanchuan cruiser, frigate, and destroyer, turned their guns at the same time and rushed towards Dragon Boat Festival.
Dango drove the Izumo with an expressionless expression. Perhaps he had already expected that the Japs would launch a full-scale bombardment on the Izumo.
There is no way to hide, you can only face the hard steel.
The Izumo has four sets of engines, two of which are broken, and two of them are still in normal use.
The engine was at full power, and it was about thirty meters away from its previous position at the moment when the little devil bombarded it.
But even so, the Izumo dodged at least six more shells.
boom! Boom boom! …
The sounds of explosions followed. The middle part and the tail of the Izumo were bombarded by more than a dozen shells. About one-fifth of the stern of the ship was blown off. The central part was also severely damaged.
The flames were burning fiercely, from the deck to the cabin and to the power room.
At this time, flames were burning in the corridor outside the power room, less than five meters away from the power room, and could ignite the heavy oil in the power room at any time! …
