Chapter 200 The Furious Devil Prince
200 The Angry Devil Prince
At this moment, on the Japanese battleship Kirishima, the Japanese captain Colonel Miyazaki no longer had the arrogance he had at the beginning.
He stood there with a gloomy face, making the other Japanese officers dare not approach him.
Finally, it was the First Officer Miyamoto who went over and persuaded, "Your Excellency the Colonel, we have to find a way to get in touch with His Royal Highness the Prince.
Let His Highness give orders to the nearest Army's 13th Division.
Let the 13th Division send troops to support us."
Miyamoto was also very tired at this time, and he was speechless when he met such a boss.
It's come to this point, and you still can't let go of your pride.
In fact, Miyamoto had the second half of the sentence yet to be said.
If they don't ask for help from the army, their fleet will not be able to complete the mission this time.
It is very likely that they will be defeated by the Chinese in the Yangtze River.
Finally, when faced with First Mate Miyamoto's request for army support this time, the Japanese colonel did not get angry like last time.
Just now, Ye Qingshan's wave of artillery fire on the river bank really hurt the Japanese colonel.
At this time, the screams of wounded Japanese soldiers could be heard everywhere on the Japanese battleship Kirishima.
Although Ye Qingshan's artillery bombardment failed to sink the Japanese battleship Kirishima.
However, the damage caused to their battleships and the casualties to their soldiers were considerable.
This is not the most terrible.
The most terrifying thing is that it dealt the biggest blow to their military morale.
These Japanese naval officers, who had always been arrogant and looked down on everyone, tasted the bitterness of failure and humiliation for the first time.
"You take care of this."
The Japanese colonel said in a deep voice.
Faced with the serious situation at this time, the Japanese colonel finally compromised.
But he still couldn't bring himself to ask the army for help, so he simply left the matter to First Mate Miyamoto.
"Hi!"
When First Officer Miyamoto heard the Japanese colonel agree, he was relieved.
But then he will face a difficult problem.
That is, the communication antenna on their battleship was destroyed in the previous bombardment.
Repair is impossible.
This caused their battleships to lose the ability to communicate with the outside world.
“Now, we can only find a way to contact our Autumn Wind or Feather Wind.
Have them contact Prince Higashikuni Yasuhiko."
Immediately, the Japanese first mate fired two flares on the Kirishima battleship.
The signal light was seen by the commanders of two Japanese destroyers downstream.
"Emergency flare? What?
There must be some emergency on the battleship Kirishima, which caused Colonel Miyazaki to fire an emergency flare. "
The Japanese destroyer commander reacted quickly.
It is very likely related to the shelling that took place during the previous half day.
"Let's go, let's return!"
After seeing the signal flare, the commander of the Japanese destroyer Akikaze immediately gave the order to turn around and meet up with their battleship Kirishima.
The Japanese destroyer Qiufeng went back, but another Japanese destroyer Yufeng did not leave.
Still downstream, trying to find a way to clear the mines, still not giving up.
Not long after, the Japanese destroyer Akikaze sailed upstream for a while and saw their Kirishima battleship again.
"Nani?"
When they looked at the Kirishima battleship emitting billowing black smoke, they were all stunned.
How did my battleship become like this?
"It was the Chinese who attacked the Kirishima with their shore artillery.
They must have blown up the Kirishima's communication antenna, preventing the Kirishima from contacting us.
That’s why they used the emergency flare to notify us.”
The captain of the Japanese ship Qiufeng immediately understood and said with a gloomy face.
"Captain, look."
As a Japanese officer next to him shouted, the Japanese captain saw the stern of the Kirishima battleship upstream.
At this time, a flag bearer of the Japanese appeared.
The Japanese flag bearer was waving two small red and blue flags and using flag language to signal them.
"What did Colonel Miyazaki say?"
The Japanese captain asked.
“Captain, Kirishima asked us to contact His Royal Highness the Prince and have him give orders to the nearest 13th Division on shore.
Let the 13th Division send troops to support our fleet."
"knew,"
After hearing this, the Japanese captain responded with a gloomy face.
This decision was unacceptable to all Japanese naval officers.
However, the captain of the destroyer Qiufeng also knew that things had come to this point.
It is no longer time for them to save face and continue to be hypocritical.
Soon, the Japanese destroyer Akikaze sent a telegram to the headquarters of Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko.
At this time, the Japanese prince was in the command center, also waiting for news from their fleet.
When a Japanese officer walked up to the commander with a telegram and shouted, "Report to His Excellency the Commander, an urgent telegram from the captain of the destroyer Qiufeng."
When the Japanese prince heard this, he thought it was news of victory.
He waved to the Japanese officer: "Quick, bring me the telegram."
The Japanese Chief of Staff beside him also heard the noise, walked over, looked at the Japanese prince and asked with a smile: "Did Colonel Miyazaki destroy the Chinese Shimonoseki Ferry so quickly?
Act quickly!"
But just as he finished speaking, he noticed that the devil prince's expression was not right.
Peng!
The Japanese prince slammed the telegram in his hand onto the table, his face as gloomy as water.
The smile on the Japanese chief of staff's face suddenly disappeared.
When he looked at the Japanese Prince Asaka Naruhiko's appearance, he knew that something must have happened.
But he really couldn't imagine what would happen to their fleet.
To be honest, among the three offensive operations organized personally by the Japanese prince, the Japanese chief of staff felt that this was the most foolproof one.
It should be the action on the western front, cutting off the Kuomintang’s transportation line on the Yangtze River.
But now, looking at the Japs's appearance, it seemed like something unexpected had happened.
"Your Highness, what happened?"
The Japanese chief of staff asked cautiously.
"Idiots, the Admiralty is full of idiots too.
Miyazaki Tsutsumi, that's a fool."
The Japanese prince roared loudly and threw the telegram in his hand in front of the Japanese chief of staff.
After the Japanese Chief of Staff picked it up and looked at it, his expression changed drastically. He said in disbelief: "This... How is this possible?"
“What’s impossible? This is a message sent by Autumn Wind himself.
Can you still fake it?
The fleet we sent over not only failed to destroy the Chinese's Shimonoseki ferry.
Cut off the Chinese army's supply lines on the Yangtze River.
Now, it is our fleet that is trapped by the enemy on the Yangtze River and cannot move forward or backward.
I have become meat on someone else's chopping board."
“What’s even more abominable is that Miyazaki, this idiot, only contacted us for help at this time.
I really wanted to chop him to pieces."
The devil prince had a ferocious look on his face, like a devil.
Truly, he could not accept the failures on all three fronts, and his twisted and perverted dark psychology began to reveal itself.
