At this time, the Huangpu River Shiliupu Pier was silent.
The Cincinnati and the Izumo were like a couple, swaying gently in the water waves.
In order to create an opportunity for Lucas and Helen to be intimate, all the sailors who lived in the same room with Lucas made excuses to go out. Naturally, Lucas would not let down the kindness of his comrades, and immediately pushed Helen down on the narrow bed, and then, Just as he was about to further disarm Helen, a harsh air defense siren suddenly sounded outside the cabin.
"Lucas!" Helen patted Lucas on the shoulder, "The alarm is sounding!"
"Ignore him!" Lucas was already on the bow and couldn't stop anywhere.
However, when Lucas was about to go further, the sirens outside became increasingly louder and louder. Lucas could only interrupt what he loved to do, pick up his pants again, curse and rush out of the cabin to assemble on the deck.
As soon as he got on the deck, Lucas heard the first mate's thunderous roar: "Dog, dog, dog!"
Lucas looked up and saw a dozen Japanese bombers in a battle formation, roaring towards the Cincinnati, but it was also possible that they were coming towards the cruiser Izumo, after all, the two warships They were right next to each other, but no one dared to be careless. The Cincinnati sounded the air defense siren early.
As for the Izumo next to it, the sirens have already sounded!
Farke! Lucas cursed and rushed down the spiral staircase to the anti-aircraft machine gun position at the bow of the ship.
Sitting in the machine gun position as quickly as possible, Lucas skillfully controlled the rotation angle of the machine gun position, then raised the shooting angle, aiming at the Japanese bombers flying over the western sky. The thumb of his left hand was already against the launch button. This All it takes is an order from the chief mate, and he can fire instantly.
However, the first mate did not give the order to fire.
The Japanese military is worried that accidentally bombing an American warship will trigger a conflict between Japan and the United States. The American soldiers are also worried that a bomber that accidentally damages the Japanese army will trigger a conflict between the United States and Japan. Therefore, both Japan and the United States are holding their breath and do not dare to actively provoke the other side. Wait for the other party to provoke you first, and then dare to fight back.
Lucas held the handle of the anti-aircraft machine gun tightly with both hands, and stared at the Japanese bombers swooping down from the sky through the sights. In Lucas's feeling, the two Japanese bombers swooping down were not at all. He was heading for the cruiser Cincinnati. Because of his nervousness, the veins on the back of his hands were already bulging.
"First! Request for fire! First! Request for fire from No. 1 anti-aircraft machine gun position! First!"
"First! The No. 3 anti-aircraft machine gun position is asking for fire! The Japanese are going to drop aerial bombs!"
"First, if we don't fight back, we will be doomed. First, please fire and counterattack!"
In an instant, there was a commotion on the bridge and on the deck. Almost all the American soldiers looked ferocious, and they were all so nervous that they almost suffocated.
However, the expected blow did not come.
The two Japanese bombers that swooped down almost passed by the main mast of the cruiser Cincinnati and flew over the cruiser Izumo. At this time, the anti-aircraft machine gun on the cruiser Izumo suddenly opened fire, and tracer bullets were mixed with live ammunition. In an instant, dazzling tracks were drawn out in the void.
Unfortunately, however, the two Japanese bombers that swooped down easily escaped from the lock of the anti-aircraft machine gun at the front of the Izumo cruiser with just one pendulum.
After two years of actual combat training with the Chinese Air Force, the combat experience of the Japanese Air Force has been greatly improved. In terms of technical and tactical literacy alone, the level of the Japanese Air Force at this time has even exceeded the technical level of the Royal Air Force. It can be called It’s the world’s number one air force!
Immediately afterwards, the two 500kg heavy aerial bombs hanging under the belly of the bomber fell.
Aerial bombs of this era do not have laser guidance, and it is even less likely to have satellite positioning. Instead, they rely entirely on inertial guidance to bomb targets. This places extremely high demands on pilots, because the flight altitude, speed, dive angle, and other factors are different. All specifications of the inertia parabola of the aerial bomb must be taken into consideration! As long as one parameter is not properly controlled, the dropped aerial bomb will either land early or miss the target!
In this regard, the Japanese pilots did an excellent job!
In order to increase the hit rate, the two bombers flew almost close to the bridge of the cruiser Izumo, and the two heavy aerial bombs they dropped hit directly. One landed on the deck, and the other directly hit the bridge. There was an explosion immediately, and in an instant, billowing smoke and fire billowed from the Izumo cruiser.
"Faker!" Lucas and the American sailors on the cruiser USS Cincinnati were all dumbfounded.
Lucas and these American sailors would not have thought that in less than a year or two, this group of Japanese pilots trained on the Chinese battlefield would be flying Zero fighter jets in the vast Pacific. On the battlefield, the US Navy poses a deadly threat to them! If it weren't for Japan's weak industrial base and lack of raw materials, it's really hard to say what the outcome of the Pacific War would have been.

Closer to home, after being directly hit by two heavyweight 500kg aerial bombs, the Izumo cruiser instantly fell into a raging fire. However, this was not over yet. Immediately afterwards, two more Japanese bombers swooped down, and in the sky, But there are still a dozen Japanese bombers circling back and forth, waiting to start the next round of dive.
Du Wanlin struggled to sit up from the aisle, only to find that the aisle was filled with thick smoke, and he could no longer see anything a few meters away. In just a moment, he felt dizzy. Not daring to show any signs of neglect, Du Wanlin quickly opened the aisle. There is a fire hose on one side, and a towel is covering his face.
After being covered with a wet towel, Du Wanlin's consciousness immediately returned to clarity.
Burning heat came from the other side of the aisle, and the fire was spreading rapidly from the command module! At this time, it was impossible to put out the fire in the command module. Du Wanlin's heart was bleeding, and he gritted his teeth and rushed down the aisle. But just as he was about to rush out of the bridge and onto the deck, In an instant, there were two loud bangs.
Immediately afterwards, the Izumo's hull shook violently. Du Wanlin was caught off guard, fell down, and hit the doorknob of the iron door with his forehead, bleeding profusely in an instant.
Du Wanlin didn't care about it at all. He struggled to get up and stumbled onto the deck.
"What's going on? What's going on now?" Du Wanlin yelled as soon as he rushed onto the deck.
Hearing Du Wanlin's roar, several sailors immediately came up to them and shouted: "Captain, it's all over, it's all over. A big hole was blown out on the bridge and deck, and three big holes were blown up on the side by the Japanese. The hull of the ship has been completely ruptured, and several watertight compartments have become leaky and cannot be blocked! The Izumo is about to sink!"
"Fuck you!" Du Wanlin's face immediately darkened, he was like a little devil.
"Captain, abandon the ship quickly!" the first mate came forward and said sadly.
"Abandon the ship? Abandon the bird ship!" Du Wanlin refused without hesitation, and then said sternly, "Brothers, you may not know yet, the little devil's Guards Division has cut off the waterway of the Suzhou River and will us The Songhu Independent Regiment was cut into two parts with the Suzhou River as the boundary. If the channel on the Suzhou River could not be re-opened, the brothers in Zhabei, Hongkou, Yangshupu, Wusong Town and even Wusong Fortress would be in a desperate situation of running out of ammunition and food. Defeated in battle!"
The sailors gathered on the deck all looked at Du Wanlin blankly, with confusion on their faces.
What does it mean? Tell us about this? We are a navy and we cannot go to land.
Fortunately, Du Wanlin quickly revealed the mystery and shouted sternly: "Brothers, the Izumo cannot escape today's disaster no matter what, but you can choose where to sink it. I originally planned to let it sink." It was sunk to Wusongkou to reinforce the shipwreck blockade there, but now I have changed my mind!”
After a pause, Du Wanlin suddenly emphasized his tone and shouted: "Brothers, drive the Izumo into the Suzhou River, use the wreckage of the Izumo to pave a channel connecting the north and south banks of the Suzhou River, use the corpses of our navy brothers and Blood, help our brothers in the Army pave a path for life! Do you dare?"
"dare!"
"dare!"
"dare!"
The sailors gathered on the deck responded loudly, with determined expressions.
"Okay, you are worthy of being my Du Wanlin's soldier!" Du Wanlin chuckled, and then shouted sternly, "Tell the engine room to turn on all the boilers! Turn on the power!"

The unusual behavior of the Izumo immediately attracted the attention of the Cincinnati.
Almost all the sailors, including Lucas, rushed to the port side and looked at the Izumo with several large holes in the hull and smoke billowing out.
Then, the American sailors saw that the Izumo suddenly moved.
Under the gaze of the American sailors, the Izumo suddenly moved, then began to accelerate. Finally, it drew an arc on the Huangpu River, accelerated its speed to the limit, then aimed at the mouth of the Suzhou River, and rushed straight across. At this time, even an idiot knows what the Chinese want to do.
God, the Chinese didn't abandon the ship? They still haven't abandoned the ship
Oh my God, they are going to use the Cloud Number to build a life channel on the Suzhou River!
Crazy, these Chinese are crazy, the warship is about to sink, and they still want to fight back!
God, the Chinese are still fighting, these tenacious Chinese! So tenacious!
Under the shocked, admirable and horrified gazes of Lucas and the American sailors, the cruiser Izumo rushed into the mouth of the Suzhou River at high speed. The hull first collided with the wreckage of the Waibaidu Bridge, instantly causing sparks all over the sky. The crunching sounds that made people's teeth sore were endless. Amidst the crunching sounds, the speed of the Izumo dropped significantly.
However, it is not that easy to stop a 10,000-ton giant ship.
