On the morning of March 5, the morning sun had already shone on the Java Sea, with a clear water and blue sky, like a wonderland. A small fishing boat was sailing two hundred kilometers north of Saubi Island, but they did not

The salvage operation was carried out, and there was not even a real fisherman on the boat, only two people looking out on the deck with telescopes.

"Brother Zixiang, do you think the Japanese will pass by here? No matter how I think about it, it's impossible!" A young man put down the telescope in his hand and asked. The long-term observation of the sea made him feel a little tired.

"How do I know? However, since it is the order from above, we can only abide by it. Even if it is just a formality!" said Lin Zixiang, a spy from the Military Intelligence Bureau.

"Brother Zixiang, how do you feel when you went to the Empire two years ago? Tell me about it? I originally wanted to go with you, but my father disagreed!" The young man said with regret.

"Empire! That's the root of our Chinese. The empire is much better than before. When I went there two years ago, the empire was starting to build a large scale, and railways and roads were being built everywhere, and there were many roads on both sides.

The factories are emitting black smoke. What touched me the most is that in the empire, foreigners can no longer show off their power!" Lin Zixiang recalled.

"It's great. I must go to the empire in the future. Brother Zixiang, if the empire can bring Nanyang into rule, will we not have to be bullied by those red-haired ghosts and niggers?" asked the small young man.

His mother and sister were both killed in the violence more than ten years ago. The dark South Ocean natives, under the instigation of the red-haired ghost Dutch, launched a massacre against the Chinese, tens of thousands

Chinese were killed in the turmoil, and many women were severely tortured.

"Don't worry, Aquatic! The Empire already knows our situation. I came back from the Empire last year and took the imperial order. When the Empire won this battle, it would bring the little Japanese, Americans, Russians and British people.

, If the French have defeated them, they will be able to help us. At that time, no one will dare to bully us anymore!" Lin Zixiang said.

"I really hope this day will come soon!" Shui Sheng's eyes were full of expectations.

"Okay, let's search the fleet of Japanese with express delivery! Only when the Empire defeated Japanese can we come!" Lin Zixiang said.

Soon, the small fishing boat accelerated and headed north.

"Mr. Commander, we will enter the Makassar Strait in two more hours. Luckily, we have not been discovered so far. However, the Makassar Strait is too long and we need to sail inside.

In one day, there are too many fishing boats in the South Ocean in this area. It is probably difficult for us to hide any traces!" Major General Sushima, the Japanese fleet, said with some concern.

"It doesn't matter. Let the destroyers scatter and discover the indigenous fishing boats in the South China Sea. All of them will be destroyed. As much as possible, hide our traces!" said Lieutenant General Heihachi Togo.

In their eyes, these South Asian natives cannot be regarded as human beings at all. If they are killed, they will be killed. It is no big deal.

"Brother Zixiang, boat! So many big boats!" On the small fishing boat, the sound of water pointed to the sea to the west and shouted.

"What? The Japanese are indeed the Japanese fleet!" Lin Zixiang immediately realized that they had discovered the Japanese fleet.

"Come and leave immediately! I'll send a telegram!" Lin Zixiang rushed into the cabin and sent a telegram to the Military Intelligence Bureau's base in Sishui. At the same time, the small fishing boat drew an arc and drove south.

The Japanese fleet in the distance also discovered this small fishing boat, a destroyer, and immediately rushed up fiercely. The rapid-fire cannon above was already aiming. Faced with a small fishing boat of more than 20 tons, the 37mm rapid-fire cannon

It will be able to tear them to pieces.

Lin Zixiang was sending a telegram in the cabin of the small fishing boat. At this time, Shui Sheng rushed in.

"Brother Zixiang, the little Japanese warship is rushing towards us!" Aquarius's face was filled with horror.

A few minutes later, when Lin Zixiang sent the telegram, the destroyer of the Japanese fleet was less than five kilometers away from the small fishing boat and was chasing at full speed. The maximum speed of the small fishing boat was only ten knots, while the Japanese destroyer,

The maximum speed is twenty-eight knots.

Ten minutes later, the Japanese destroyer opened fire, and the dense 37mm rapid-fire cannon shells hit the small fishing boat. The wooden hull was easily torn apart. Two of the sailors on the boat were killed on the spot.

.

"Shui Sheng, jump into the sea quickly!" Lin Zixiang shouted and jumped into the sea first. Shui Sheng also quickly jumped into the sea.

A few minutes later, the small fishing boat was torn into pieces and sank into the sea, and the destroyers of the Japanese fleet left in a swagger.

When the Japanese fleet's destroyer left, Lin Zixiang and Aquarius emerged from the sea and grabbed the wooden boards that had broken the fishing boat and floated on the sea. The rest of the people had been killed.

"Brother Zixiang, what should we do now?" Shui Sheng said in horror.

"Let's wait for the passing ships to come!" Lin Zixiang said. Now, he can only leave the will. Fortunately, before the small fishing boat was sunk, he had sent the telegram.

After receiving the telegram sent by Lin Zixiang from the base in Sishui, the Military Intelligence Bureau did not dare to neglect it. He immediately reported to the base in Manila, and through the base in Manila, he reported to the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau in China. Just an hour later, the Admiralty Department

I got the information that the Japanese fleet was about to enter the Makassar Strait.

"Your Majesty, the latest information is that the Japanese fleet is entering the Makassar Strait. It seems that they want to enter the Siribes Sea through the Makassar Strait, and then enter the Pacific Ocean to avoid our pursuit!" Zhang Cheng was excited

He said. As long as the traces of the Japanese Navy can be found, they can easily kill them. Now that we know the movements of the Japanese fleet, it will be even easier to intercept them.

"Oh? The Japanese are really cunning! How did this information get?" Wang Yuze asked.

"It was the intelligence personnel from Nanyang who drove a fishing boat and searched on the sea." Zhang Cheng replied.

"Nanyang! This place has too many resources and a large number of Chinese. The lives of these compatriots are very difficult now. After this battle, should we start to rescue these compatriots?

"Wang Yuze suddenly sighed. Once, during the Qing Dynasty, these Chinese compatriots were regarded as abandoned people of the Celestial Empire and became rootless duckweed, and were bullied by Western colonists and local natives. Now, China has become stronger

Then, naturally, no longer care about these compatriots. Moreover, Nanyang’s strategic position is extremely important, and China must take these areas into its hands. Others are just resources such as rubber. After the rapid development of the automobile industry,

It must be controlled too.

Zhang Cheng nodded, but the most important thing at this stage is to win this war.

"Send a telegram to Commander Deng! I believe that with this information, he will be able to make a choice!" Wang Yuze said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Cheng nodded. Deng Shichang is an excellent commander. With enough intelligence support, he can make the most appropriate response.

At 10 a.m. on March 5, the main force of the local fleet that was heading towards the Bashi Channel received a telegram from the Navy Department. Deng Shichang immediately started studying it on the chart.

"The little Japanese want to enter the Pacific Ocean from the Sea of ​​Siribes? And the Japanese local fleet in the Hachijo Island waters seems to want to choose to go south and meet with the Japanese fleet in the Western Pacific. Humph! This time I showed my strength, let's see you

Where else to run! Order each ship to increase its speed to 15 knots. In addition, except for leaving four destroyers to continue searching in the South China Sea, the rest of the warships accelerated through the Bashi Channel and entered the Pacific Ocean!" Deng Shichang ordered. Since Japan

If the fleet wants to escape from the Pacific Ocean, the local fleet can only rush to the Pacific Ocean to intercept it. In this way, the scheduled battlefield will also be changed from the South China Sea to the Pacific Ocean.

The Japanese fleet did not realize that their whereabouts had been exposed, and was still dreaming of crossing the Siribes Sea and entering the Pacific Ocean, and avoiding the pursuit of the Chinese navy without any danger and returning to Japan safely.

On March 6, the Japanese fleet entered the Sea of ​​Cyribes. During the process of passing through the Makassar Strait, dozens of fishing boats from the South China Sea were sunk by the Japanese fleet, and hundreds of indigenous people from the South China Sea were killed.

On the evening of March 7, the Japanese fleet crossed the Sarangani Strait and entered the vast Pacific Ocean. This made the Japanese fleet feel relieved. The Pacific Ocean is extremely vast. When it enters it, the Japanese fleet is like a dragon entering.

Like the sea, it is no longer so easy to discover. However, because they have gone around too much, they consume a lot of coal and have to be replenished before they can return to Japan. The supplies sent by the Japanese Navy in advance

The ship also began to accelerate its navigation towards the south.

At this time, the main force of the Chinese Navy's local fleet had entered the Western Pacific Ocean, and a large number of cruisers and destroyers were dispersed and began to look for traces of the Japanese fleet. Because further east were the Guam and Mariana Islands controlled by China, there were a large number of them.

As Chinese merchant ships pass by, the Japanese fleet can only pass through the waters west of Guam, and the range is relatively narrowed.

On March 11, a "Tianshui-class" light cruiser from the Chinese Navy's local fleet discovered the Japanese fleet that was being replenished in the northern waters of Gargir Island, 400 kilometers northeast of the Palau Island. At this moment, the Japanese fleet's

The traces were completely exposed. The telegram from the Japanese fleet was found and sent out immediately. The main force of the Chinese Navy's local fleet rushed to the sea area.

When Togo Heihachiro received the news, his face turned pale. He knew that the Japanese fleet could only fight to the death with the Chinese Navy's local fleet!
