Chapter 193: The Helpless Tomosaka Brigade

Wei Mingyang quickly helped Miyazawa solve the problem by building a captain: he blew up the remaining destroyers again.

His eyes once again fell on the destroyer "Tianlong".

Two consecutive shells shut down the two 140mm cannons on the "Tianlong" that were still firing.

All the gunners were dead and the cannons were damaged. Now Captain Yuzo Miyazawa didn't have to worry: his destroyer no longer had any guns that could attack.

Now it needs to worry about how to survive.

"Abandon the ship!" When it had to give this order, its heart was filled with humiliation.

At the same time, the captains of the "Tyuta" and other destroyers issued the order to abandon the ship.

They originally wanted to work hard, try to repair the battleship, or guard the battleship and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

However, the bombing from the south bank of the Yangtze River made them despair.

Only then did Miyazawa Yuzo realize: attack these destroyers and then stop immediately.

It wasn't that the mortar let them go, but that the mortar was trying to attack the "Izumo".

Now the "Izumo" has completely lost its combat capabilities, and at the same time it has lost its power and is stuck in place.

Only then did he free up his hands and attack all the destroyers again.

The "Izumo" is different from all destroyers in that it is anchored, and now the anchor chain firmly fixes it in place and does not float along with the current.

Commander Kiyoshi Hasegawa reacted quickly after being dragged below the deck by his guards.

Loud orders: "Fight the fire! Fight the fire quickly!"

"Izumo" can no longer do without putting out the fire. The fire on the entire battleship is getting bigger and bigger. If no measures are taken, the devils like them will die on the ship.

Fortunately, at this time, the mortar that fired at the battleship finally stopped bombing, and the Japanese on the "Izumo" quickly took action.

The fires at the stern and middle were put out first, and then the fire at the bow was put out.

While they were busy, they could still see the "Tianlong" and "Ryutian" and other ships that had moved away from them. They were being bombed again.

Those Japs who were still putting out the fire were praying in their hearts: Let the "Tianlong" survive for a little longer!

Wei Mingyang and the others only had one mortar here, so they really couldn't take care of it, so they pressed the gourd and the gourd floated up.

Only a dozen destroyers and the like were shut down here.

The Japanese on the "Izumo" started to act up again: they actually extinguished the fire at the stern of the ship.

Then the fire in the middle of the battleship also quickly decreased, and finally disappeared.

Moreover, there were many Japanese running around on the deck, which seriously challenged Wei Mingyang's bottom line.

No need to warn!

Wei Mingyang adjusted the shooting direction and said to Lu Fei: "Come again!"

Looking at the direction of the gun barrel, Yang Dazhu knew that this was a big ship, and he said excitedly: "The camp! Blow it up hard! Blow up those idiots."

By now he also knows how difficult it is to sink a Japanese battleship.

The explosion on the 10,000-ton giant ship was so severe that at least a hundred shells were thrown at the camp, but it did not sink into the river.

Moreover, there were so many of their own artillery shells on the battleship that exploded, so they were not able to sink it into the river.

This boat is indeed rough-skinned and thick-skinned.

If you can't blow up ships, there's always no problem in blowing up people!

Wei Mingyang had the same idea. This time, only five cannons were fired, perfectly covering the middle and rear decks of the "Izumo".

Through the telescope, Yang Dazhu clearly saw the Japanese being blown up.

He kept shouting: "Well done! Well done!"

The telescope in his hand belonged to Wei Mingyang, and the other soldiers in the guard platoon all said flatteringly: "Brother Yang! Let us take a look too!"

"Brother Yang! Let me have a look!"

Brother Yang was also a generous person, and he did not satisfy his own desires. He handed over the telescope: "Brothers, take a look! See how the camp is used to fight the Japanese!"

Hasegawa Kiyoshi did not expect that the 641-member crew of the "Izumo" had already suffered more than half of its casualties when the first wave was bombed.

This time I went out to put out a fire, but the national troops on the shore did not allow me to do so.

This time the bombing killed most of the remaining Japs again. There were more than 600 Japs, and now there are only more than a hundred Japs left.

The fire, which had just been brought under control, suddenly increased in size.

what to do?

It finally stopped hesitating: "Abandon the ship!"

With the commander's order, these Japs quickly took action.

The captain of the "Izumo", Tamayama Moka, no longer bothered with the slogan that the ship was there and the people were there, and rushed out personally despite the fire.

Kamenashi Saburo, Matsushita Yonosuke and other Japanese soldiers heard the commander's order to abandon the ship and hurriedly ran to the lifeboat.

The "Izumo" had two lifeboats. Although the entire deck was blazing with fire, in fact, except for the gun emplacements where shells exploded, the battleship was seriously injured, and the rest of the battleship was only on fire.

The damage suffered was not serious and both lifeboats were intact.

There are now more than a hundred Japanese left, and two lifeboats are completely sufficient.

Captain Tamayama Moka directed Kamenashi Saburo and the others to lower the left lifeboat.

It did this with some considerations: the right wing was completely exposed to the view of the National Army artillery position on the south bank downstream, and it could put the lifeboat on the left wing without being discovered.

At this time, Second Officer Takahashi Hideki had to take Nakadai Isoroku, Inoue Hachiro and other Japanese soldiers to release the lifeboat on the right wing despite the danger of artillery bombardment.

The soldiers in the guard platoon took turns observing the movements of the Japanese. At this time, they all saw it: the Japanese seemed to have made an appointment, and they were all launching lifeboats.

The 10,000-ton ship was releasing lifeboats, and the destroyers downstream were also releasing lifeboats.

Wei Mingyang had stopped at this time, and ordered squad leader Wu Youdao: "Go and help the airship of the multinational military observation group.

Remember to be polite and show the courtesy of the Chinese military!"

He was afraid that Wu Youdao might misunderstand the meaning of the word "help", so he added a special sentence.

"Yes! Help! Be polite!" Squad Leader Wu repeated the order very sensibly.

He led the team and rode a motorcycle as fast as lightning.

Lu Fei asked: "Camp! Why don't you blow up those idiots?"

Wei Mingyang said: "Wait a while, wait until they get on the lifeboat, then don't waste it!"
