195 Close the Cage
Boom!
The huge explosion directly caused the hull of the Japanese destroyer Qiufeng to shake.
On the front deck of the Japanese destroyer, many Japanese soldiers were injured by the explosion or fell into the river.
"Baga, quickly check if the hull is damaged."
The Japanese commander also shouted loudly.
Soon, the Japanese commander received a report from the damage control officer that the collision and explosion of the clipper ship had caused damage to the front armor of their destroyer.
There was a cut of more than ten centimeters, but it was not serious and they were able to repair it immediately.
The captain of the Japanese destroyer Qiufeng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news, but he was still a little scared.
It’s a pity that Company Captain Erwa used a speedboat carrying explosives to ram the Japanese destroyer.
Because of the placement of the explosives, although they were extremely powerful, they did not have strong penetration power against the armor of the Japanese warships.
It's already very good to be able to break the armor at the front of the Japanese destroyer.
If it were the Japanese destroyer Kirishima, it would not be afraid of this kind of collision attack at all.
Because the armor thickness of the Japanese battleships is higher.
"Company commander!"
At this time, the surviving soldiers on the other Kuomintang speedboats saw Company Captain Erwa personally steer the speedboat and ram the Japanese warship.
All of them were angry and sad,
"Get over here!"
Soon, the soldiers on the Kuomintang clipper followed suit.
They also madly rammed into the two Japanese destroyers.
The Japanese destroyer still did not turn, so the company commander could not die in vain.
We will inherit the company commander's will and fight the damn Japanese devils.
The remaining seven or eight clippers rushed over frantically.
"Baga, these Chinese people are dying."
On the Qiufeng, the Japanese captain finally became a little scared after seeing this scene.
If there really were a few more hits like the one just now, it would be like this.
Their destroyers would be more seriously damaged. At this critical moment, it is not a wise choice to let their destroyers be damaged.
"Turn, turn."
Finally, the captain of the Japanese destroyer Qiufeng gave the order with a gloomy face.
In the end, he gave in and chose to turn his destroyer and stop sailing forward.
Avoid the Kuomintang speedboats that were rushing towards their destroyer like crazy.
As the Akikaze destroyer in front turned, the Yufeng destroyer behind also quickly followed suit.
They drew a large arc in the center of the river.
"Ha ha!
The Japanese were scared and their warships turned around.
Company commander, did you see that?
We accomplished our mission.”
The Kuomintang soldiers on several other speedboats also cried with joy when they saw the two Japanese destroyers turn around.
"Baga, fire your cannons, all machine guns open fire.
Kill these damn Chinese for me."
The Japanese captain of the destroyer Akikaze felt humiliated, and this humiliation came from an enemy they had always looked down upon.
He yelled in frustration.
Immediately, the artillery on the two Japanese destroyers and the machine gun points on the deck began firing crazily.
The last few Kuomintang speedboats were overwhelmed by shells and bullets.
The hundreds of National Army soldiers on these thirty speedboats bought enough time for the mine-laying team on the downstream side of Lu Dahai at the cost of their entire army being annihilated.
"Second baby!"
Lu Dahai downstream had been on the boat, watching the battle closely.
When he saw Erwa driving the speedboat to ram the Japanese destroyer, and saw that the thirty speedboats he sent out were all wiped out.
Lu Dahai couldn't help but roar in grief.
At the same time, Ye Qingshan was on the opposite bank of the river and witnessed the battle.
Ye Qingshan said nothing, but his fingers, which were holding the telescope, made cracking sounds because he was squeezing too hard.
"Little devils, just wait.
Give me some time, until the next time we fight on the water.
I promise to have my own warship."
Ye Qingshan secretly swore,
After he finishes the battle in Jinling, he will definitely find a stable base to develop.
The industrial technology he had recorded was enough to enable him to complete industrialization quickly.
By then, when we have our own warships, we will no longer be passive and take attacks like this.
He would never let his men drive small boats to ram the Japanese ships, and prevent such a tragic scene from happening again.
"Captain, all mines have been deployed."
More than ten minutes later, Lu Dahai finally received the report from his subordinates.
The more than 300 mines they brought have been deployed in batches.
More than 300 new types of mines have almost completely blocked the waters downstream of Jinling.
And it's not just a one-layer blockade, but a multi-layer blockade divided into different water areas.
“Signal Commander Yeh that the cage is closed.
Then retreat.”
Lu Dahai looked fiercely at the two Japanese destroyers that were turning around and rushing over, then gave orders.
"Damn you little devils, you're too late.
Erwa and his friends risked their lives to buy time for us to complete the minelaying.
From this moment on, I will play with you till the end."
Lu Dahai took a small boat, crossed the minefield and headed downstream to take shelter.
Their ship was small and not enough to create enough pressure difference, so even when they passed through the minefield.
It will not cause mine explosions.
However, the two Japanese destroyers were no match for them.
"Stop moving forward."
When the two Japanese destroyers approached the mine-laying area, the Japanese captain had no choice but to order them to stop advancing.
There was no way, they had already seen that Lu Dahai and his men had laid mines in this area of water.
They continued to sail forward, and could trigger a mine at any time.
Previously, their technicians had proved this through simple research after salvaging a mine.
This time, the national army used a new type of mine that they had never seen before.
Even now, they haven't figured out the triggering mechanism of this new type of mine.
Moreover, the power of the several new types of mines that just exploded was even more astonishing.
It can easily blow up the armor of the Japanese battleship Kirishima.
Wouldn't it be easier to break through the armor of their destroyer?
If we continue to move forward, we will be in danger of triggering mines at any time.
The two Japanese destroyers failed in their attempt to stop Lu Dahai and his men from laying mines.
Even if the Japanese captains on the two destroyers were angry and unwilling to admit it.
We can only face this fact.
They became trapped beasts!
"Baga, report to Colonel Miyazaki that our operation has failed.
We are trapped in these waters by the Chinese."
The Japanese captain of the destroyer Qiufeng shouted angrily.
"Idiots, all of them are idiots."
The Japanese battleship Kirishima soon received a report from the destroyer Akikaze and learned the result of the battle downstream.
The Japanese colonel was already in a bad mood because his battleship had lost power.
This time, I felt even more angry and depressed.
“Tell them they don’t have to come back for a while.
Let them find a way to clear the mines downstream and open up the waterway."
The Japanese battleship colonel had a stern face and gave orders to the commanders of the two destroyers downstream.
