Chapter 196

A bright moon casts sparkling light on the sea. It is already nine o'clock at night, and the Japanese army is still busy at Lushun Pier. The continuous battles have consumed a huge amount of ammunition and food. It is the hottest months of the year, and the Japanese army is still busy.

The baggage troops would rather work all night at night than stand for a minute under the scorching sun during the day.

"No Japanese ship found, come up!" The shirtless Wang Tong, his eyes red, looked very excited. The life of sneaking underwater during the day and only daring to emerge at night was really exciting for him.

In the cabin of Diving-06, all kinds of strange smells were mixed together, and the air was so turbid that it made people feel suffocating. To Wang Tong, all this was nothing.

There is a saying within the navy that anyone who likes to work on submarines and enjoys it endlessly is a lunatic. Wang Tong is not a lunatic, he just has his own ambitions. Wang Tong, who once studied the navy in Japan, is well aware of the power of the Japanese navy. According to the traditional path

If we continue to develop our navy, it is very unlikely that we will catch up with the Japanese navy in the short term. China is a big country and has too many places on land to defend, so the investment in the navy will certainly not be too large. On the other hand, Japan is just the opposite.

From the state-organized navy that defeated the Beiyang Fleet to the defeat of the Russian fleet in the Battle of Tsushima, it took decades of accumulation to become as powerful as it is today. The navy is not an army. Soldiers can go into battle with clockwork rifles after half a year of training. From the establishment to the formation of a navy

It will take at least ten to eight years to achieve a certain level of combat effectiveness.

Wang Tong has the ambition to achieve a great career, but it is a pity that the current situation of the Chinese Navy is like that. There are many internal factions and stalemate, and promotions are based on seniority. By the time he is promoted, it will take years and months. Besides, submarines are a new thing. If you have to

Find a way in the navy that can make a difference. The only thing that can play a role in the battlefield against Japan is submarines.

Contributions are made underwater! With such ambitions, Wang Tong set off with his latest submarine. The tactics formulated by Marshal Fang for the submarine force were very simple: break the relationship! Don't take risks easily.

A dark shadow quietly appeared on the calm sea outside Port Arthur. The submarine opened the hatch cover. Wang Tong was the first to get out and ordered the first mate: "Let the brothers come out for air in turn, every half an hour."

wheel."

Sitting on the deck, I took out a hip flask and took a sip. This was a habit introduced by the Germans. I took out a cigarette and lit it. I had a hard time smoking and felt the effects of smoking after not smoking for a long time.

A feeling similar to being tipsy. The sea breeze was blowing on my face, it was so comfortable! Lying on the deck, looking at the bright moon in the sky, when Wang Tong fell asleep, the first mate Liu Ming stabbed him.

"Captain, there's something going on!" Huh? Wang Tong sat up and followed Liu Ming's hand in the direction of Lushun. There seemed to be lights moving. "It looks like a freighter! It's next door to Mala. I can't even take a breath."

You can't live in peace, you have to force me to open my shop. Come on, come up and have a look." Wang Tong muttered, took out the wine bottle and took another sip, then turned around and returned to the boat.

Submarines do not travel very fast on the sea, and they are definitely faster than freighters. After an hour of sailing, the target became clear. This fleet consisted of three freighters. What is ironic is that there seems to be only one

A destroyer is escorting.

"Isn't the Japanese little nose too crazy? Ask on the radio if there are any of our submarines nearby." Wang Tong gave the order and began to call his friends. A total of six submarines went into battle this time. After leaving Qingdao Port,

Disperse operations. If the submarine is discovered, it will basically be a dead end, so each boat is like a thief, evading and floating on the sea.

The radio quickly contacted another submarine. The submarine No. 03 was about five nautical miles away. They also discovered this fleet and were approaching rapidly. The captain of the submarine No. 03 was named Mengzi.

Xiong was an engineer chief of the river fleet during the Qing Dynasty. Because he was not from Fujian, he did not do well in the traditional fleet, so he took the initiative to join the submarine force.

"Captain Meng called back and asked us how to attack?" The first mate came over to ask, and Wang Tong said: "Tell him that we are in front of the convoy's channel and we are attacking the Japanese destroyers. Let them catch up and attack the freighter."

A call back came soon, with three words: "Everything follows the old rules." The so-called old rules are that whoever discovers the target first will be the commander of the battle. In one case, it was Wang Tong who discovered the target first and then contacted his accomplices.

"Call back, no problem. Get ready to dive!"

One after another, the two submarines set up their nets and waited. The destroyer arrived in front, not very fast, and the speed was about eight knots. They made tens of thousands of aiming movements, but this time my hands were a little shaking. I must aim accurately.

Well, for the purpose of submarine training, the commander launches live torpedoes every month, which is a lot of money.

Time seemed to freeze during the aiming process. Wang Tong finally determined that he had locked the target and shouted in a low voice: "Launch on No. 1! Launch on No. 2!"

"Launch completed!" In the periscope, the white waves raised by the torpedoes were not very clear in the night and could only be seen faintly. The two German torpedoes looked like two big fish playing in the sea in the dark, and their speed was getting faster and faster.

Come on, the Japanese destroyer escort is still unconscious.

There was a loud "Boom!", the sea surface shook, and a torpedo hit the center of the destroyer's hull.

"Hahaha! Hit! Come up!" Wang Tong laughed proudly and put away the periscope. Just as the submarine surfaced, there was a muffled sound from the rear of the fleet, which shook the submarine. Boat No. 03 hit

A freighter.

The destroyer that was hit by a torpedo broke into two pieces and sank rapidly. Soon, Japanese soldiers and crew were struggling on the sea. The other two freighters accelerated and fled desperately, but in the end they could not escape the submarine's torpedo attack. For half an hour

They were hit one after another.

"Captain Meng called and asked what to do with these people?" The first mate came to ask. Wang Tong looked at the raging fire on the sea and the one or two hundred survivors struggling on the sea. He couldn't help but sneered: "Jiawu

How did the Japanese army treat the Gao Sheng in 2006? Now we just need to return it. Leave them alone and let them fend for themselves at sea. Inform Meng Zixiong and we will withdraw."

What the Japanese on the sea were most worried about was not whether they could be saved or not, but that the submarine would kill people. Fortunately, the submarine drove away without putting out its machine guns and 75mm cannons. The submarine gradually moved away, and the Japanese on the sea

People can only rely on God.

Three cargo ships loaded with munitions and ammunition and one destroyer disappeared in the Yellow Sea. This news was an inescapable shame for the Japanese Navy. Before sinking, the destroyer sent an urgent message, a total of four words.

: Submarine, torpedo. After learning about it, the Japanese navy in Lushun and Qingdao urgently dispatched warships to search. It was not until dawn that they found a small boat with more than a dozen Japanese sailors lying beside it. The number of rescued Japanese sailors and crew members was less than 100,000.

Thirty people.

The fangs of the Chinese submarine were exposed for the first time and gave the Japanese navy a hard bite.

After leaving this sea, Wang Tong was not satisfied with sinking a destroyer and wanted to make a big deal. Therefore, Wang Tong's No. 06 boat did not go far, but returned to the place where the fleet was originally discovered.

Looking at Port Arthur from a distance.

After getting off the train, Chen Fu was in high spirits. The overnight train did not make him feel too tired, but he was trembling slightly with excitement. After the submarine won the first battle, Chen Fu decided to congratulate the commander in person. The submarine force invested heavily and received high treatment.

, there is a saying in the navy. Fushuai opposed all opinions and supported the submarine force. It can be said that the submarine force, up and down, are holding their breath to add luster to Fushuai's face. Call those who look down upon him

Look at the guys in the submarine force, they made the right decision to support the commander.

Weifang Railway Station was very busy. Passenger trains had stopped running and military trains were running on the entire railway. Chen Fu was lucky. A train went to Jimo to pick up the injured and sent them to the rear hospital in Jinan. When they arrived in Weifang, they had to stop to fill up with water.

.

He took a look at a train that was starting. It was full of artillery. It looked like they were big guns, at least 150 caliber. The army could also use big guns, and Chen Fu was a little envious. All along, the army equipment

There are very few large-caliber artillery in China. This has something to do with roads and money. When the Qing government launched a new army, there was only one 150 heavy artillery regiment. It was really a big deal to support the commander. This train was at least a regiment.

Fang Jianxiong didn't sleep well all night again. After Kamio Mitsuomi entered the encirclement, how to encircle it as quickly as possible was what Fang Jianxiong was most worried about. After all, the Japanese army had more than 40,000 people and was equipped with more than a hundred heavy artillery. This was not

A small force. Fang Jianxiong used five times the force to surround the Japanese troops. From a local perspective, there was no big problem, but from a global perspective, there were many variables.

The first is the next reaction of the Japanese government. This is very important. Japan is a very special country. Its people have both low self-esteem and arrogance. They have not lost a game since the Meiji Restoration, and the arrogance has expanded to the point. What if the Japanese government ignores it?

Are we going to fight a full-scale war? Although he is prepared, Fang Jianxiong does not want such a thing to happen. There is a fierce war in Europe right now, and it is wise to seize the time to develop. It is best for the Japanese government to propose peace talks, and Marshal Fang can take this opportunity

, bargaining with the surrounded Japanese army. Secondly, the next move of the Japanese army is very fatal. The current encirclement is not tight. If the Japanese army does not dare to attack in the direction of Laiyang without hesitation, discards all heavy equipment, and breaks through the encirclement with the momentum of burning the cauldron, there is a chance*

The Japanese army cannot stop this powerful Japanese army. Once the Japanese army enters the Jiaodong mountainous area and suddenly reaches the coastline with light equipment, there will be nothing they can do. The Japanese navy's naval guns are too great a threat. What Fang Jianxiong hopes most is Kamio Mitsuomi.

Continuing to maintain a arrogant mentality and waiting for help is the most perfect result.

In fact, it’s not that Kamio Mitsuomi has never thought about standing still and waiting for reinforcements. The problem is that the Japanese army’s supplies cannot keep up. Bullets are okay, but artillery shells are a bit tight, and the rations are only one week. It’s okay to be trapped for a short time, but for a long time
