Chapter 234 Wei Mingyang still needs to make a move for the new plan
Captain Nakamura Rokuro is in charge of the maintenance of the "Hosho" aircraft carrier.
Three large holes with a diameter of more than 40 centimeters appeared in the cabin below the aircraft carrier.
Four huge water jets kept pouring into the cabin, and it immediately ordered its devils to plug the leak.
If these large holes were lower and not at such a high position, they could directly close the airtight doors of these cabins.
This also allows the aircraft carrier to continue to be used and return to the shipyard for repairs after the battle.
However, the location of these large holes is only less than half a meter below the waterline, and there is no sealed cabin at this level.
If we can reduce some of the load on this aircraft carrier, we can make these holes less threatening.
However, the river water that continuously poured in from the big hole not only did not reduce the burden on the battleship, but actually increased its weight.
The Japanese from Nakamura's Mainland Squadron worked hard to use water pumps to drain out the incoming water, while using wooden boards and quilts to plug the leak.
If the hole was not so big, such a leak would still be easy to plug.
But with such a big hole, the two or three Japs at the front couldn't support it, and more Japs couldn't get closer.
This put the Japs in Nakamura Squadron in a dilemma: they had no choice but to add more water pumps.
Yuki Aiba tried his best to hold a piece of wood against the entrance of the cave where the river water was pouring in. Immediately, five or six Japanese soldiers rushed up to hold up the plank.
This time they finally withstood the pressure, and the inflow of river water suddenly became much smaller.
Immediately, the Japanese pushed over some iron frames and iron cabinets, which were placed behind the wooden boards.
Some Japanese soldiers used quilts to block the leaking holes between the wooden boards. With this blockage, the inflow of river water was reduced by 90% in an instant.
There is only a little bit of water left, and the water pump can come and take care of it.
"Yo Xi! Aiba-kun! Well done!" Captain Nakamura Mainland was overjoyed and praised repeatedly.
They have just plugged one leak, but there are still three leaks that have not been plugged.
When they plugged the third leak, the Japs from Nakamura Continental Squadron all had a smile on their faces:
They are becoming more and more skilled at plugging leaks.
At this moment, the aircraft carrier began to shake violently again.
The "Fengxiang" was once again hit by a 150mm grenade on the deck, and at the same time, it was hit by three more artillery shells below the waterline.
This was really caused by the boat being late and leaking, and the house leaking due to the continuous rain.
The Japs above the deck were busy again, while those below the deck were all panicked.
The Japs of Nakamura Squadron had just closed three loopholes, and three more holes appeared. The National Army was opening holes too fast.
This is not the most fatal: the most fatal thing is that the three loopholes that have been blocked just now were once again washed away by the river water during the violent shaking of the battleship.
Suddenly, there were seven big holes that needed to be repaired by the Japanese from Nakamura Continental Squadron.
Seven huge rivers poured into the "Fengxiang" aircraft carrier. The river water that just poured in has not yet been drained out.
This time so much came in that the engine room in the lowest room was already filled with half a meter of water.
The draft of the "Fengxiang" was much deeper, and the water pressure on the seven large holes was greater.
As a result, more river water poured in.
When Staff Sergeant Aiba Yuki once again lifted the wooden board to plug the leak, the strong water pressure gave him no chance to lift the wooden board and rush to the leak.
This makes it impossible for them to continue the work of plugging the leak.
Seven streams of water kept pouring into the battleship in vain, and the several water pumps organized by Captain Nakamura Continent were already a drop in the bucket at this time.
Several water pumps, a few jets of water pumping out the semen from the arm, are completely incomparable to the seven water jets with a diameter of more than 40 centimeters that poured in.
"What should I do?" Captain Nakamura Continental was completely at his wits end.
As the maintenance squadron leader on the "Fengxiang" aircraft carrier, it really has no choice now.
It's very clear what will happen next if the seven loopholes are not plugged.
If a large amount of river water keeps pouring in, it will flood the engine room and cause the entire battleship to lose power.
Letting the entire battleship sink to the bottom of the river is something it would not dare to watch happen anyway.
Captain Nakamura Mainland, who had no choice but to send someone to report to the commander immediately.
At this time, Kiyoshi Hasegawa sat down on the ground again. He fell down when he saw the second grenade falling on the deck.
The second grenade exploded directly on the aircraft carrier's runway, and the Kishitani Tsuta team that was clearing the runway was blown to pieces.
None of the thirteen Japanese were spared, and they all fell in a pool of blood.
Shuren Akaban, the Japanese who were a little further away from the explosion point, still had their bodies intact, and Captain Kishitani Yuta was near the location where the grenade exploded.
It was blown to pieces with no bones left! Only some bloody fragments were left, splattered all over the deck.
Once this grenade exploded, not only was the backup aircraft unable to fly, but the nearby forts also suffered heavy casualties.
The two Japs, Kurokawa Tago and Ito Hayato, were originally the gunners of the Type 89 127mm twin anti-aircraft guns.
He was also killed in the bombing of this shell. Ito Hayato's dream of a brigade commander sank just after setting sail.
Commander Kiyoshi Hasegawa finally recognized the reality: "You won't be bombed if you are five kilometers away from the fort.
He was already eight kilometers away from the fort, but he was still bombed in the same way.
Damn, the Chinese army only has mortars, which are obviously 150mm howitzers, and the one that just hit the plane was also an anti-aircraft gun.
The cunning national army, under the circumstances like yesterday, they did not use these cannons.
I deliberately set a trap for myself to escape."
I thought that I fell twice in the same pit and ruined two fleets in the same place.
This can be considered a Guinness record!
When he thought of this, Hasegawa Kiyo's heart was broken.
The deck runway of the "Fengxiang" is now bombed, fighter jets and bombers cannot take off, and the fort is bombed and cannot fire.
The entire battleship is like a tiger with its teeth and claws knocked out, without any force value at all.
"Retreat! Retreat!" Kiyoshi Hasegawa kept shouting.
It seems that this will allow the "Fengxiang" to immediately withdraw from the range of the national army's artillery bombardment.
What it didn't expect was that the water in the battleship's engine room reported to be more than 1.5 meters, and the "Fengxiang" had lost power.
"Nani? Why didn't you report such an important thing?" Kiyoshi Hasegawa, who was already furious, roared.
Staff officer Kenta Imai was right next to him, but he didn't dare to say a word.
But it knew in its heart that the engine room had reported water intrusion from the very beginning, and it had reported seven times now.
But every report was ignored by Commander Kiyoshi Hasegawa.
After the rant, Kiyoshi Hasegawa finally calmed down: “Being angry can only vent, but it cannot solve the problem.
Chapter completed!
