Chapter 196: Specializing in Mine Sweepers

196 Specialized in attacking mine sweepers

"Colonel, the current situation is not favorable for our fleet.

We need to clear the surrounding torpedoes as quickly as possible.

Now, it is somewhat difficult to clear the torpedoes in the surrounding waters relying solely on the strength of our fleet soldiers.

Perhaps we should report to Prince Higashikuni Yasuhiko and ask for the cooperation of the army on shore."

First Mate Miyamoto, who was standing next to him, also put forward his own ideas at this time.

"idiot.

Miyamoto, do you want me to ask for help from those idiots in the army?"

Captain Colonel Miyazaki was angry, turned around and looked at his first mate and questioned.

Because Colonel Miyazaki knew clearly that the so-called cooperation of the army on shore was nothing but an attempt to cover up the truth.

As long as they sent such a telegram to the Japanese prince.

That means they can no longer hold on and have to ask for help from the Japanese army on the shore.

For the proud devil Colonel Miyazaki, this was just like having his battleship hit by a new type of mine from the National Army.

It's all a huge shame.

He had just suffered this kind of humiliation once.

Now, his first mate actually asked him to ask for humiliation again.

Colonel Miyazaki was very angry.

"We can clear these mines by ourselves. We don't need the cooperation of those idiots in the army in this battle.

Can also complete the task.

I just don't believe that the Chinese can deal with our battleships with just their mines and their few broken ships."

The demon colonel Miyazaki was filled with anger and unwillingness to accept the defeat.

Seeing the Japanese colonel's appearance, First Mate Miyamoto sighed and said nothing more.

"Let our soldiers go down in small boats and find all the mines around."

The Japanese colonel immediately gave the order.

This is their only option at the moment.

Soon, two small boats were launched from the Japanese battleship Kirishima, with Japanese soldiers sitting on them.

They began to search around for the new types of mines that Ye Qingshan and his team had laid before.

"Sir, the Japs have sent out another small boat to sweep the mines."

Wang Dabing was standing next to Ye Qingshan by the river. When he saw the Japanese starting to clear mines, he spoke anxiously.

"Sir, let my men go down in the boat and take care of him."

Wang Dabing couldn't help it anymore and was ready to take action.

Ye Qingshan put down the telescope and looked at Wang Dachuan with a smile: "Why are you in such a hurry? Your battalion's mission is not on the river.

Have you finished setting up the positions along the river?"

"It's already been done, sir.

But I didn’t see any devils coming.”

Wang Dachuan couldn't understand what the point was of Ye Qingshan asking them to set up those blocking positions on the shore.

"Just wait, the prey will come to you."

Ye Qingshan raised the telescope and continued to observe the Japanese.

"But you are right. We cannot let the Japanese so easily clear the mines we have laid.

Let someone pass the message to Luo Hu and ask him to lead his men to attack.

Just attack the Japanese battleships that are sent down to clear mines."

"Yes!"

After hearing this, Wang Dachuan walked away depressed.

Half a day later, Luo Hu and his men on dozens of small boats appeared in the waters around the Japanese battleship Kirishima.

"Commander Ye has given orders to beat those Japanese minesweepers for me."

Soon, dozens of small boats surrounded the Japanese battleships but did not attack them.

It’s useless anyway.

But they just kept their eyes on the minesweeping boats that the Japanese sent into the water.

It is to prevent the Japanese from clearing mines successfully.

Soon, several soldiers on a Japanese minesweeper boat were shot and killed.

This forced the Japanese minesweeper boats to flee towards the Kirishima battleship.

"Baga, these despicable Chinese people.

Fire, blow them up for me."

The demon Colonel Miyazaki roared.

Boom boom boom!

Immediately, the Japanese battleship guns, which had been stationary for half a day, opened fire again.

There was really a lot of movement.

But the effect of the attack was not very good this time.

Because the attacking boats led by Luo Hu were relatively far away from them and were very scattered.

The Japanese naval guns fired shells at us, and it really became like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

Apart from the rising columns of water, only extremely unlucky small boats would be hit by the explosion.

As for the firepower from the Japanese battleships, no one knew where the bullets they fired went.

The distance between the two sides was more than one kilometer, and the effect of bullet attacks was almost zero.

This is also why Ye Qingshan still has a lot of rockets in the rocket artillery battalion at this time.

However, Ye Qingshan still did not give the order to use rocket launchers to cover and attack the Japanese battleship.

Simply because the characteristic of rocket launchers is covering attack.

The accuracy is extremely poor.

Don’t look at the Japanese battleships, they have become fixed targets at this time.

But it is estimated that few of the rockets will hit the Japanese battleships, which would be a waste of rockets.

On the contrary, it would be great if Ye Qingshan had a howitzer in his hand at this moment.

That thing can shoot fixed targets with much higher accuracy.

It can effectively strike the Japanese battleship which has lost power at this time.

Unfortunately, Ye Qingshan didn’t.

But Ye Qingshan has already sent people to notify the Kuomintang troops on the other side to see if they can get together a few artillery pieces.

Unfortunately, there has been no news so far.

Ye Qingshan couldn't rely entirely on them, so he continued to proceed according to his own plan.

“Damn it, luckily we followed Commander Ye’s orders and dispersed our ships.

The power of the Japanese naval guns is really not exaggerated. "

Luo Hu was sitting on a small boat. He reached out and touched his face, wiping off the water, and said in shock.

Just now, a Japanese naval gun shell fell on the river several meters away, exploding a column of water into the sky, giving them a bath.

"Brothers, retreat further away and don't let the Japanese naval guns hit you.

Otherwise, it would be really scary.”

Luo Hu quickly shouted to the other soldiers.

In this way, the Japanese mine-sweeping plan was forced to be interrupted.

The Japanese ship's artillery fired for two minutes and then fell silent.

There was no longer the arrogant attitude they had when they first arrived and bombarded the Shogun Mountain position on the shore.

"Humph, the Japs now know how to save their ammunition.

Unfortunately, it’s a little late.”

After seeing this, Ye Qingshan couldn't help but sneer.

At this time, Colonel Miyazaki, the commander of the Japanese battleship Kirishima, was indeed a little panicked.

Because just now, his machine gunner came to report to him in person.

Tell him that two-thirds of the naval gun shells in their ship's ammunition depot have been used up.

We can't waste shells like this anymore.

This made the Japanese colonel very upset, and he shouted: "Why are the shells consumed so quickly!"

As a result, the Japanese machine gunner didn't say anything either.

I complained in my heart: I don’t know who gave the order when he first arrived to fire wildly at the Chinese positions on the shore.

Now, the shells are almost used up, and you ask why.

The Japanese colonel reacted after a while, his face looked very grim. He ordered a pause in the shelling and sent the machine gunner back.

(Brothers, please give me some free gifts!)
