Ouyang Yun wrote thousands of words in an order of approval, which was unruly and eloquent. 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, I am worthy of it.
Thousands of Chinese people who have silently supported us may have regrets, but they will never regret it!
Never regret it!
After this battle, Dongshan and Haikou naval bases will inevitably be exposed to the eyes of the Japanese, and then 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. But 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 Dongshan Naval Base, after the conference call ended, Chen Yuanyang concealed his excitement and said to the audience: "How long have we been silent since the First World War in the Taiwan Strait? Just yesterday, Huang Tianxun was pestering me, saying that he would never have a chance to attack again.
Just submit a letter of blood to the Guangzhou General Headquarters with my brothers - 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 torpedo is its speed. The only martial art in the world is speed. Ouyang Yun applied this wise saying in martial arts to the naval battles of this era, and it 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 adjacent to the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong. In other words, unless the Japanese transport fleet
They only have a chance to fight when they travel back and forth from the Taiwan Strait or along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong with the escort fleet. In theory, it seems that they also have a chance to fight, but since the last 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 the Japanese mainland from the Pacific Ocean. In this way, Huang Tianxun's Swordfish force became a display. As a new admiral at the Haikou Naval School, Huang Tianxun
As an officer, he was much more passionate than his predecessor Qi Minghao. He watched the submarine forces fighting in the open sea, but he could only live in Dongshan and surrounding seaports and wait for opportunities quietly, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
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 Force would jointly petition the President.
The headquarters wrote a letter in blood asking for battle.
When Chen Yuanyang brought this matter up, Huang Tianxun's face became hot at first, but then when he heard his irritating words, he became anxious and stood up suddenly and said: "Commander, we are your soldiers! You don't believe us?"
Are we superficial people?"
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? Its sister ship, the Hiryu, is 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 as long as you can. We will definitely come back with a big victory for you!"
"A tiger cannot defeat a pack of wolves, Commander, have you forgotten what the Commander-in-Chief said? If the devil is a tiger, then we are a pack of wolves..."
...Everyone was chattering, each one more confident than the other. Chen Yuanyang realized that the heat was almost over, he 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 - just like sharks smelling blood, more than two hundred Swordfish torpedoes.
With the speedboats and the total number of about thirty submarines, the Xuebing Army and the Navy would only use up all their power if they did not move, and if they moved, they would use up almost all of them.
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 Cheng 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
Moreover, if the Canglong aircraft carrier fleet from Luzon Island wants to rendezvous with this transport fleet, according to their current route, 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 Type II and Swordfish III. Type II's maximum range is about 80 kilometers, while Type III's is nearly 100 kilometers. Calculated based on Type II, Tian Feng's troops need to start from
If Yangjiang reaches Pingtung, it will take at least eleven hours, even if the time spent on refueling is not included. The Japanese transport fleet is about 40 kilometers away. 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 on 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!"
