Ouyang Yun wrote thousands of words in an unruly order to approve the execution. Although Chen Ce and others were moved by the emotions contained in his words, there were no more than three people who truly understood his state of mind at that time. , He is talking about his own experience. I have been here, I have struggled. When I close my eyes, I can at least say to myself, I am worthy of the military uniform I am wearing, and I am worthy of Mo Mo. Although the tens of millions of people who support us have regrets, they will never regret it.
Never regret,
After this battle, Dongshan and Haikou naval bases will inevitably be exposed to the eyes of the Japanese. Next, the huge mining factories on Hainan Island may also be exposed. By then, the Japanese will definitely retaliate, and that will bring Ouyang Yun had no idea what the consequences would be. Compared with the huge Japanese combined fleet, the Xuebing Army's local navy was still too weak. However, for the sake of the Pacific, he felt that even this was a gamble where he would lose more and win less. , he also has to gamble once,
At the Dongshan Naval Base, after the conference call ended, Chen Yuanyang concealed his excitement and said to the audience: "Since the First World War in the Taiwan Strait, we have been silent for a long time. Just yesterday, Huang Tianxun was still pestering me, saying that he would never have a chance to attack again. I and my brothers submitted a letter of blood to the Guangzhou General Headquarters. The enthusiasm for fighting is worth encouraging, but I hope it is not just superficial."
Xuebingjun's cloud version of wolf pack tactics. The wolf pack consists of three parts. The Song-class long-distance submarine force is the main force, followed by the Swordfish-type torpedo speedboat force and the Ming-class small submarine force. In the modern era, the Xuebingjun's Swordfish Type torpedo boats are definitely an anomaly in the world's torpedo boat family. Compared with torpedo boats from other countries that are often hundreds or even thousands of tons larger, Xuebingjun's swordfish type torpedo boats are pitifully small and have the largest tonnage. The Swordfish III type has a displacement of just over 200 tons. When the so-called world naval powers still defined torpedo boats as an auxiliary ship type, Ouyang Yun had upgraded them to a level that could determine the outcome of a large-scale naval battle. The greatest characteristic of the Swordfish-type torpedo is its speed. The only martial arts in the world is speed. Ouyang Yun applied this wise saying in martial arts to the naval battles of this era, and it actually had a miraculous effect.
Of course, the Swordfish also has its own shortcomings, that is, its limited range, which determines that Huang Tianxun's combat areas are limited to the west side of the Taiwan Strait and the adjacent coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong. In other words, unless the Japanese transport fleet They can only have a chance to fight with the escort fleet by traveling back and forth from the Taiwan Strait or advancing along the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong. In theory, it seems that they also have a chance to participate in the war. However, since the past two days, the Song-class submarine force led by Xu Kai successfully sunk After the two Japanese oil tankers, the Japanese transport fleet changed its planned route and began to bypass Taiwan Island and return to Japan from the Pacific Ocean. In this way, Huang Tianxun's Swordfish force became a display. Huang Tianxun, as a new admiral at the Haikou Naval School, As an officer, he was much more passionate than his predecessor Qi Minghao. He watched the submarine force fight in the open sea, but he could only live in Dongshan and the surrounding seaports and wait for opportunities quietly, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Similarly, not willing to let his youth be squandered like this, Huang Tianxun frequently asked Chen Yuanyang to fight. Yesterday, he even made harsh words in front of Chen Yuanyang. If there was no more attack, all the students in the Swordfish Unit would jointly submit a petition to Chen Yuanyang. The general headquarters wrote a letter in blood asking for war,
When Chen Yuanyang mentioned this matter, Huang Tianxun's face became hot at first, but then he heard his irritating words. He became anxious and stood up suddenly and said: "Commander, we are your soldiers, and you don't believe us. Are we the kind of people who live on the surface?"
Chen Yuanyang looked at him twice, then glanced at the others, and said with stern eyes: "It's not that I don't believe you, but the strength of this battle is very different. The little devil dispatched three aircraft carriers and several heavy cruisers and destroyers at once. One Soryu aircraft carrier is worth one hundred of our Swordfish, brothers, this one is not easy to fight."
"Commander, this battle hasn't even started yet. Why have you lost your prestige and ambition? The Soryu and its sister ship Hiryu are waiting for it to go to the bottom of the sea to keep company. Those guys from the Air Force can sink the Hiryu." ,Why can't we sink the Canglong..."
"That's right, Commander, just wait here. We will definitely give you a big victory when you come back."
"A tiger cannot defeat a pack of wolves, Commander, you have forgotten what the Commander-in-Chief said, if the devil is a tiger, then we are a pack of wolves..."
...Everyone was chattering, and each one was more confident than the other. Chen Yuanyang realized that the heat was almost over, and slammed the table and shouted: "Okay, then I will wait here for such a good news. The Army has wolf fangs." ,The Air Force has an ace, so we will create a wolf pack that specializes in eating tigers. ,Brothers, let’s go.”
"Set off."
The wolves of the Dongshan Fleet were dispatched. Following the submarine force led by Xu Kai, the Haikou Fleet also dispatched four brigades with a total of fifty Swordfish. Like sharks smelling blood, more than two hundred Swordfish torpedoes were dispatched. With the speedboats and the total number of about thirty submarines, the military and naval forces would be exhausted if they did not move.
The Navy took action upon hearing the news, and the Air Force was not idle either. The entire Taiwan Strait Aviation Corps, part of the Air Force General Headquarters, a total of two fighter divisions, two long-range aviation divisions and two medium-range aviation divisions were on standby.
At the Haikou Military Academy Naval Headquarters, in front of a huge sand table, Chen Ce held a baton in his right hand and pointed at a sea area about 120 kilometers away from the southeast corner of Pingtung and said: "This is where the Japanese transport fleet must Passing location, and if the Canglong aircraft carrier fleet from Luzon Island wants to rendezvous with this transport fleet, according to their current speed, this will be the best rendezvous point. If we choose this as the ambush location, our greatest The difficulty is that Tian Feng’s troops may not be able to arrive on the battlefield on time.”
Tian Feng is the commander of the Swordfish unit of the Haikou fleet. Because the maximum range of the Swordfish is only about 450 kilometers, if they want to rush to the ambush sea area, they must first go to Shanwei to refuel, then go to Shantou, and resupply in Shantou. After refueling, you can rush to Pingtung, and then you can join the battlefield after refueling in Pingtung.
Tian Feng's troops are equipped with the latest Swordfish II and Swordfish III. The maximum speed of Type II is about 80 kilometers per hour, while the maximum speed of Type III is nearly 100 kilometers. Calculated with Type II, Tian Feng's troops have to start from If Yangjiang reaches Pingtung, it will take at least eleven hours, even if the time for refueling is not included. The speed of the Japanese transport fleet is about forty kilometers per hour. They are now only a few meters away from the ambush sea area designated by Chen Ce just now. Four hundred kilometers, it can be reached in ten hours. In view of this, Chen Ce clicked his baton on the sand table and moved decisively to the northeast, then clicked it about 150 kilometers away from the original ambush sea area, and said: " How about setting the ambush location on Green Island? This should ensure that Tian Feng’s troops can arrive at the battlefield as scheduled.”
Lu Chenggao, the Naval Headquarters and Chief of Staff of the Haikou Fleet, measured it with a ruler and came up with a relatively accurate set of figures. Then he looked at Chen Ce and said, "That's the only way it can be."
"Then it's decided, let's generate electricity immediately, once every five minutes."
