Chapter 7 Section 7 Operation 1 New
Commander-in-Chief Gao soon received the battle report of this second battle. Commander-in-Chief Gao, who had new ideas, asked "Zhoulang", "Flying Tiger" and "Jiaolong" to start a new round of military training together. Strengthening
In various landing operations, all subordinates cooperated, familiar with the terrain, dialects and customs of Japan and the Korean Peninsula, and prepared to carry out special operations against the Japanese homeland in the near future.
The three special forces will be expanded into detachments (division level), with three brigades (brigade level) under their jurisdiction, and new members will be selected from the entire army again. Each unit has reached a size of 3,200 people.
Master Gao personally led the training, which made these proud men in the military feel extremely glorious and trained even harder and more seriously.
Next, Commander-in-Chief Gao asked the navy to mobilize dozens of submarines to surround the Japanese island in addition to training, and launched a naval blockade campaign that attacked transportation lines and was nicknamed "food shortage" by Tiger.
The route from the mouth of the Tumen River to Japan via the Sea of Japan is the nearest major maritime transportation line. Nearly half of the materials looted by Japan from the three eastern provinces were transported to Japan through this route.
On August 3, our submarine formation (q-02, q-03, x-08, x-07, x-01, x-03 and 24 Y-class submarines), which had been prepared for a long time, carried 20 submarines this time.
Several anti-aircraft machine guns (specialized to deal with Japanese aircraft) went to the Sea of Japan to attack Japanese and Korean (then Japanese colonies) ships they saw.
After Japan lost another 17 cargo ships, the Japanese once again dispatched a large number of warships and aircraft to escort the cargo ship fleet.
On the morning of August 11, the command boat Q-02 discovered a large number of ships (about 60 ships) sailing from west to east. Considering the results of the previous few days, it was estimated that Japanese warships were escorting the cargo ships, so they directly targeted them.
All submarines
The team issued a combat order. The Q-02, X-02, X-08, X-07,
of underwater segmental lurking.
An hour later, all combat groups were in place. In order to avoid Japanese bombing, each submarine was loosely guarding an area.
After waiting underwater for about 2 hours, the 1st formation clearly saw through the periscope the huge Japanese fleet heading here to die: 7 warships in front opened the way, and there were 8 warships on each side.
Behind the fleet are 11 warships, including 1 aircraft carrier. Among these 34 warships are 3 cruisers, 8 destroyers, and the other 22 are small gunboats.
In the center of the fleet are the 24 protected large cargo ships, which are lining up in four columns and traveling at high speed under the protection of warships.
This time it was the 2nd Detachment of the 2nd Fleet of the Japanese Navy, led by the commander of the detachment, Rear Admiral Shumoto. Along the way, Shumoto sent two carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft in front of the fleet to conduct reconnaissance around the four ships.
The bombers on the large warships have long been ready to take off. Even if the Chinese attack again, more than a dozen bomber formations take turns to take off, and they must teach the hateful Chinese a lesson. However, from the heart, he is a hundred
I don't want to encounter a Chinese submarine.
However, this is not something Major General Shumoto can say.
After receiving the report from the 1st formation, the squadron leader (regiment level) Xu Shiqing ordered the main boat of the 1st formation, No. X-07, to launch a fatal attack on the cruiser in the Japanese vanguard fleet as soon as possible.
The boat freely selects targets to attack.
The Y-33 and Y-36 submarines had already discussed and launched attacks on the Japanese cruisers escorting the flanks at the same time. Upon hearing this, the Y-31 and Y-32 submarines immediately changed their strategies and chose to attack the Japanese cruisers escorting the flanks.
Another Japanese cruiser launched an attack.
Each boat of the 1st formation is waiting for the target to approach.
Main boat X-07 was the first to attack, firing two torpedoes at the Japanese avant-garde cruiser 130 meters away. It was also a blind spot for gunfire, and the Japanese were powerless. The reconnaissance aircraft immediately reported an "enemy attack" alarm to the command headquarters.
A few seconds later, the Japanese army
The avant-garde cruiser was accurately hit by two torpedoes. In a series of explosions, it was first broken into three pieces, and then the tail piece turned into pieces again, and soon sank to the bottom of the sea. Most of the little devils were shattered into pieces.
Others are floating on the sea waiting for help.
After launching the torpedo, the main boat X-07 quickly changed direction and sank to a depth of about 30 meters. It relied on radar to avoid the deep-draft cargo ship behind it.
An "enemy attack" had just been discovered here, and a side attack also started. Four torpedoes were fired at two Japanese cruisers not far away (160 meters) almost at the same time.
I had just started the engine after hearing the "enemy attack", and had not even had time to warm up, let alone move to the runway. Three cruisers, together with more than 70 aircraft on them (little devils dare not dare to do so), each cruiser
It also only carried 4 bombing groups of 20 bombers, 1 reconnaissance aircraft and 3 fighters) and they quickly sank to the bottom of the sea.
After receiving the "enemy attack" alert, Rear Admiral Kimoto immediately ordered the bomber formation on the aircraft carrier to take off immediately. The second was to ask the small ships around the aircraft carrier to form an encirclement around the aircraft carrier. Finally, he asked all the ships to take out their weapons.
Weapons only equipped by the army, such as cannons and grenades, were prepared for battle. The fleet left three small gunboats to rescue the fallen soldiers, and the rest of the ship formation continued to move forward at full speed.
The boats of the 1st formation launched another attack before the Japanese aircraft took off. The four Y-class submarines aimed at the Japanese ship not far away in shallow water and launched four torpedoes again, and then quickly sank to the bottom of the sea.
This time, the Japanese grenades and mortars took the lead in counterattacking very quickly.
Japan's naval equipment is very good. The Marine Corps is a third-rate force in Japan's domestic army when fighting on the shore. The accuracy of grenade launchers and mortars is not very good. However, there is still a grenade that hit the target because the diving depth is not enough.
The Y-36 submarine, however, did not cause any damage to the submarine. The explosive power of the grenades launched by the Japanese grenade itself is only equivalent to the power of hand grenades. A steel giant like a submarine is definitely not afraid of this
Of small toys.
There was also a mortar shell that almost injured the Y-32 boat, so that it could dive quickly. Generally speaking, this mortar shell will explode only when it hits the ground. When it falls into the water, due to its high speed, it will explode with
When the water contacts the water, a powerful impact force will be generated and the bomb will be detonated. However, in this short period of time, the shell can penetrate into the water for a short distance before exploding. The explosive shrapnel is still somewhat powerful underwater.
