Chapter 921 A brief history of the Japanese Navy's self-destruction 1

Regarding the reason for the sinking of the Akashi protective cruiser, this incident was an unsolved mystery until decades later, because everything that can be investigated sank into the bottom of the sea with the Akashi protective cruiser. Later generations and even people at that time could not understand what exactly caused the warship to sink......&1t;/p>

The captain of a nearby American submarine was specifically questioned by the US government after returning to China. The former was calm and he did not attack the Japanese fleet because he had taken the 6 torpedoes he had carried before and perfectly brought them back to Pearl Harbor.&1t;/p>

As for the mine explosion, it was later considered that the possibility was very small, because neither side had mined in this area. As for the mine's anchor chain was broken, causing a mine to float over and then hit the warship, the probability was really lower!&1t;/p>

The Americans later believed that the responsibility lies with Japan. The Japanese refuted how my ship exploded if it was good? As a result, two years later, another Japanese armored cruiser, Izumo, exploded in Manila Bay, and everyone realized that the Bismarck Sea incident could really be the Japanese's own problem...&1t;/p>

What people unexpected is that as the only alien in the world, Prince Ruprecht immediately determined that Akashi's self-destruction might be Japan's own trouble. Maybe he can't figure out the specific cause, and it is impossible to determine whether it is a human accident or the temperature of the ammunition depot is too high, but it is probably the Japanese's fault, because there are many such incidents in the history of the Japanese navy!&1t;/p>

Later generations have these statements about the navies of various countries before World War II. The Germans carried small cannons. The British were battle cruisers and firecrackers. So what about the Japanese Navy? The training intensity of "Yueyue, Fire, Water, Wood, Gold and Gold" is one. But the warships self-destructed without any trouble, so they are definitely one! Because the frequency and "record" of Japanese warships self-destructed are a bit too much!&1t;/p>

Who was the first self-destructing warship in the old Japanese Navy? The famous Mikasa! On September 11, 19o5, just a week after Japan and Russia concluded the Portsmouth Treaty, in the early morning, a large number of eyes suddenly erupted near the 152mm ammunition depot on the right side of the rear of the Mikasa battleship anchored at Sasebo Military Port 10, and explosions continued to be heard. After the naval personnel found a problem, they immediately stopped manpower from extinguishing the fire. However, in the end, the Japanese failed. With a shocking loud noise, at least 5 of the 858 officers and soldiers on the ship, as well as the flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet and the heroes of the Russo-Japanese War, returned to the arms of an aunt......&1t;/p>

And this was just the beginning. After the record of the "Three Uncles" was opened, at 4:8 am on April 3, 19o8, near Magong Island in the Penghu Islands, the Songdao, which served as the training ship, suddenly had a big explosion next to the same-class ship Rishi! This time the explosion was very straightforward and a big hole was directly opened on the starboard side. The battleship was instantly inclined by 5 degrees, then 16 degrees, and finally sat directly on the seabed.&1t;/p>

Although the number of casualties this time was not large, only 2o7, the quality was still very high! Not to mention anything else, there was a buddy named Dashangao, who had a father named Dashanyan... (If you don’t know, you can go to Baidu.) Because it was a training ship, the explosion directly led to the death of 33 candidates of the 35th lieutenant.&1t;/p>

The third self-destructing friend is also quite famous. In 1917, after the European battlefield had become a pot of congee, and after the glorious Battle of Jutland became the masterpiece of the battleship, the unwilling Japanese Navy made some things and attracted the attention of the whole world...&1t;/p>

At around 3 pm on January 14, 1917, the Japanese battlecruiser Tsukuba, which had just stopped broadcasting in Yokosuka, accompanied by an explosion that was shaking, a huge fireball flew up from the front deck of Tsukuba! The ammunition depot of the Japanese Navy's main battleship exploded, which was also a very sudden incident and a devastating blow. The front of the warship was almost blown off and then sank to the bottom of the sea. There is no need to investigate this incident, it is the pot of the main gun ammunition depot, which is simple and clear.&1t;/p>

However, shortly after the Tsukuba battlecruiser was killed, another Japanese battleship successfully completed the feat of "self-destruction"! This time, self-destruction was extraordinary. This was the first 20,000-ton battleship of the Japanese Navy to self-destruct! The last level of Japan's quasi-fairness, or the Japanese first-class dreadnought, was also considered a good match for the Hanoi battleship. On July 12, 1918, the Hanoi battleship exploded in the Tokuyama Bay Military Port.&1t;/p>

The whole process was like this. At 3:51 pm, the starboard ammunition depot of Hanoi had a suspected explosion. A few minutes later, the disaster came. The same front deck, the explosion like a volcanic blew up the front of the entire warship into pieces! In just 4 minutes, this Japanese first-class dreadnought sank into the seabed, and then exposed the propeller and butt to the water...&1t;/p>

As a dreadnought, the "results" of this explosion were very considerable. About 60% of the officers and soldiers of the ship, 60 lives disappeared in the flames and explosions. Then the ship sank like this...&1t;/p>

The explosion of Hanoi is very sensational, wonderful, and brilliant, but compared to a self-destruction in later battles 2, it is definitely a big witch! This battleship is the unprecedented explosion time of the battleship 6th battleship in the history of self-destruction by the world warship!&1t;/p>

On June 8, 1943, the battleship 6 Ao, one of the "Seven Majors", was anchored in Hiroshima. It suddenly exploded. It was a secret explosion, it was as fatal, and it sank the ship. The 6 Ao, known as the "National Battleship" when it was in service, did not die under the muzzle of the opponent's battleship, and was not killed under the terrifying bomber attack of the US imperialist bomber, but eventually fell into the hands of its own people...&1t;/p>

From this point of view, the self-destruction of Japanese warships has a glorious tradition! At this moment, the Akashi in this plane is not a warship that is self-destructing, it represents the glorious tradition of the old Japanese naval joint fleet! At this moment! Mikasa, Matsushima, Tsukuba, Hanoi, and 6-class battleships in another plane are possessed with souls! However, what is more nb than other peers of the Japanese Navy is that the time of self-destruction of Akashi is too sensitive, which directly causes a series of problems and troubles in addition to self-destruction...&1t;/p>

If the self-destruction incident of the old Japanese Navy ended here, it would not be enough to prove the terribleness of this tradition and the inevitability of history! Because someone would ask a question, why did Japanese warships explode and all sank? Are there any warships that did not sink after self-destruction? Of course there are!&1t;/p>
