Chapter 630 Sasebo BBQ Festival

"The sea is on fire!"

"The fire is coming!"

"It's napalm, it can't be put out!"

"Leave the port immediately!"

There were cries of alarm from the Japanese army transport ships. Seeing this, some transport ship captains panicked and ordered their crews to stay away from the burning sea area.

At this time, the Japanese had already realized that the enemy in the air attack just now used napalm bombs.

The Japanese were aware of the power of napalm bombs and were worried that the transport ships might be affected, so they began to leave the port.

At this moment, another ammunition depot exploded.

"boom!"

A huge explosion sounded, followed by a small mushroom cloud rising over the army base.

Afterwards, all sorts of flaming objects fell among the crowd like flowers scattered by fairies.

"Full left! Out of port!"

"Full right rudder, full right rudder!"

"Be careful, there's going to be a collision!"

The Japanese ships in the port began to set sail in a hurry. Due to the lack of command personnel and even observers on board, they were forced to leave the port.

There was chaos when these ships left the port. The captains gave orders based solely on their own experience, and you can imagine the extent of the chaos.

"Oh!"

There was a loud crash as several transport ships suddenly collided with each other. One ship was fully steered to the left, the other to the right. The collision blocked the original port.

Looking at the fire spreading on the sea, the rest of the Japanese transport ships began to flee from the edge in panic.

A ship called Awa Maru, carrying more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers, attempted to leave the port from the edge of the army and navy base.

There were not only the two thousand Japanese soldiers who had boarded the ship before, but also some Japanese soldiers who had escaped the disaster and boarded the ship for refuge.

There were even some devils hanging on the gangway of the ship.

The transport ship Awa Maru quickly sailed out from the edge of the port, intending to drift on the sea for a while, and then release the Japanese soldiers on the ship to put out the fire after the flames on the sea surface were extinguished.

Not long after the Awa Maru left the port, a huge explosion was suddenly heard.

The entire Awa Maru began to shake violently. Captain Harada Kazue was about to ask what happened when another explosion was heard and the ship shook again.

"what happened!"

"Report, Captain, we've struck a mine!"

"Hit a mine? Damn, where did the torpedo come from?"

Hearing Harada Ichiei's words, the crew panicked and said, "It's not a torpedo, it's a mine! We accidentally entered the naval base. This is a mine deployed by the navy!"

"Damn it, the navy is a bunch of idiots!"

Harada Ichiei wanted to curse a few more times, but the ship had already begun to tilt.

The Japanese soldiers on the ship ran around in panic, while some on the deck desperately tried to grab anything that could stabilize their bodies. However, the Awa Maru was originally just a cargo tanker, a commercial ship with no protective capabilities at all.

After hitting two mines, a huge hole was blown in the hull, and seawater rushed into the ship frantically. The hole caused by the explosion continued to grow larger under the pressure of the seawater.

The entire ship has tilted more than 40 degrees and is about to capsize.

"Jump boat, jump boat, jump boat!"

Harada Ichiei roared, put on a lifebuoy and prepared to jump off the boat, less than three minutes before hitting the mine.

Some Japanese soldiers also realized that the transport ship was about to capsize, so they jumped into the sea. In an instant, countless Japanese soldiers who had jumped off the ship appeared on the sea.

And this is not the worst. The most terrible thing is that the place where the Awa Maru was blown up happened to be the location of the ship's fuel tank, and a large amount of fuel leaked.

It was high tide at the time, and the leaked fuel flowed towards the burning sea surface with the tide, providing fuel for the flames that were about to go out.

"Pfft!"

On the sea, the fire, which had originally weakened, grew stronger again after being replenished with fuel. The flames followed the leaked fuel towards the Awa Maru. In an instant, all the sea water around the Awa Maru was ignited.

These Japanese soldiers who jumped into the sea were surrounded by a sea of ​​fire. Some of them were covered with fuel oil and instantly turned into burning men. Even after diving into the sea, the flames were still burning.

"what……"

"Help!"

"……Help!"

"..."

Screams and cries for help are endless.

A large number of struggling fireballs can be seen on the sea surface, and these fireballs are all little Japanese devils.

The fuel leak from the Awa Maru also threatened other ships. Several Japanese transport ships were surrounded by flames, and the port was blocked by two transport ships that collided with each other. The remaining ships that wanted to leave the port could only follow the route taken by the Awa Maru.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"..."

Two more huge explosions were heard. Two more transport ships accidentally touched mines after leaving the port. Then there was an oil leak, adding fuel to the fire on the sea.

At this time, some people on the Awa Maru had not jumped overboard and were clinging to whatever they could on the boat. However, the Awa Maru's tilt angle had reached 70 degrees.

The Awa Maru could no longer maintain the balance of its hull, and with an unpleasant noise, the cargo ship capsized into the sea.

Then the ship began to sink rapidly, and all the remaining Japanese soldiers on board sank into the water along with the Awa Maru.

However, this time, it took about five minutes for the Awa Maru to sink from the accident, two minutes longer than when it was hit by a torpedo.

But these two minutes did not bring any chance of survival to the Japanese on the ship. Instead, they became a longer torture.

The Awa Maru sank, and not far from the Awa Maru, a smaller transport ship, the Shunyo Maru, was on fire. This ship was a cargo ship produced by "John Bull" in 1913 and was requisitioned by the Japanese army and became a transport ship.

It has a displacement of only 5,000 tons, but is modified with nearly 700 beds and has plenty of other space for transporting soldiers.

At this time, this small ship was carrying more than a regiment of Japanese soldiers, who were trapped in the sea of ​​fire on the sea.

The burning sea water scorched the Japanese on the ship.

Although the ship did not hit a mine, capsize or collide with another ship, there was a problem with its power system.

The entire ship was just suspended on the sea, with the leaked and ignited fuel everywhere around it. The ship was surrounded not by sea water but by fire.

As the stay time increased, the temperature throughout the ship also increased.

The Japanese on the ship would be burned if they touched any part of the ship. The entire ship was like a huge barbecue grill, and the Japanese were like meat on the grill.

The fire lasted until dawn, or rather, there was no darkness in Sasebo tonight, only firelight.

The huge fire on the sea and the fire burning in Sasebo City turned the city into a city that never sleeps. "Barbecues" were everywhere, but the "cooking skills" of the "chefs" were not very good, and everything was burnt.

Still owe one chapter.

Chapter 631 Public Opinion Offensive

Songyuan.

In the command center, Li Yunlong transferred the radio from the Japanese side to the Shancheng Radio Station. This time point was when Shancheng broadcast the latest news every day.

Li Yunlong wanted to hear what the people in Shancheng were bragging about and see what great victory they had achieved in their "empty victory".

"The intelligence department has reported that Shancheng is preparing to publicize Commander Wang's 'victory'. Your plan can proceed to the next step."

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Don't worry. Military achievements alone aren't enough in a mountain city; you need connections. This Division Commander Wang has been corrupt for so many years, and with so little money, we'll have to buy him an official position in the end."

Li Yunlong shook his head as he spoke. Commander Wang had already made some achievements, so the next step was to find someone to back him. After all, to survive in a mountain city, one needed background and strength. Now that Commander Wang had proven his "strength," the next step was to build relationships.

Commander Wang is originally from Fenghua, and he has been in the limelight this time. As long as some people say a few good words to him at a critical moment, he should soon become the confidant of his superiors. However, the price of these good words is not cheap.

Fortunately, when Li Yunlong robbed Commander Wang, he took a lot of small yellow croakers. Li Yunlong planned to return the money and help Commander Wang find a reliable backer.

As they chatted, the news began. A clear female announcer's voice rang out from the radio: "Hello, listeners! I'm your old friend Manli, bringing you the latest news today. Since setting out in October last year, our Outer Mongolian Expeditionary Force has endured six months of bloody battles..."

"...Under the command of Division Commander Wang, the 7th Temporary Division rescued tens of thousands of our allies, including General Gastilovich, Commander of the Soviet Siberian Front, at Angarsk, achieving a significant victory!"

"This successful breakout demonstrates how our soldiers overcame hardships and difficulties..."

"...Today's news broadcast is over. I would like to end with a song called 'Military Song' for everyone. I hope everyone will enthusiastically join the army!"

"Don't you see, the Han Dynasty's army, the weak-headed prisoners, please grow their tassels!"

"Don't you see, Ban Dingyuan, Jueyu Qingqi urges Zhanyun!"

"A man should take risks..."

A passionate song "Military Song" sounded, and Li Yunlong hummed along while eating peanuts.

“This song is great!”

Li Yunlong was quite familiar with the song "Military Song", and when he watched "The Regiment Commander" in later generations, he was deeply impressed by this song.
