The specific process of Xuebingjun's cloud-style wolf pack tactics is as follows: on the long route of the Japanese transport fleet, participating submarines first lurk in a sea area to detect the enemy's situation, and then wait for the target before deciding to directly attack or attack according to the situation.
It is to summon other friendly ships to encircle and suppress them. If the latter situation is the case, in order to ensure that other submarines can receive telecommunication signals when they surface every half hour, several telegraph base stations established in coastal areas will have an uninterrupted
The received telegrams are repeatedly sent out. If the headquarters has any new instructions, they will also be conveyed to the submarines at the forefront through this method.
Because Xu Kai's S-002 command ship had been sailing on the water, it immediately received an order from the Navy Headquarters. "Commander, prepare for a big fight. Great, turn to Green Island immediately."
"Go forward," he said excitedly, then lay down on the chart and carefully studied the terrain of the ambush sea area.
At the same time, Huang Tianxun also received this order. He studied the distance between the ambush sea area and their current location, and decided not to change the route. He first went to Pingtung to replenish fuel, and then headed to the sea near Green Island.
.
About a quarter of an hour later, Karachi, Ouyang Yun took the telegram from Xin Bao. At this time, in his office, a sand table was already placed on his desk, and beside the sand table, Jiang Huangyong,
Qi Minghao, Bian Jingdao, and Bai Liusu were standing attentively, watching De Gu and Chen Shichang engage in war games.
Degu still didn't understand the significance of the Swordfish's speed of up to 80 kilometers per hour in naval battles, so he was invited by Jiang Huangyong and after knowing Ouyang Yun's intentions, he did his best to pass the command of the Japanese army, secretly thinking that he would give the unknown
This is a painful lesson for the Chinese people who are so stubborn. The difference in understanding between the two sides on the role of swordfish caused this war game to become controversial soon after it started. Degu insisted that the swordfish swarm could not break through the Japanese naval gun blockade.
However, Chen Shichang insisted that if all 150 Swordfish ships were dispatched, at least 50 Swordfish ships could be guaranteed to have torpedo range. The old French man was very stubborn and insisted on what he had seen. Ouyang Yun thought it was not a problem and acted as a peacemaker and finally decided that 30 ships
The Swordfish was able to gain range. Degu and Chen Shichang began to officially enter the deduction. The telegram from Haikou arrived. Ouyang Yun glanced at it and said: "There can be fifty more Swordfish!"
At this time, Degu had realized how terrible it was for the swordfish school to gain torpedo range. After hearing this, he quit and asked: "Where are the fifty more ships?"
Ouyang Yun didn't answer at first, but moved both hands to move the chess pieces they used to represent the fleets of both sides to the vicinity of Green Island in the east of Taiwan Island, and then placed a chess piece on Yangjiang, saying: "Originally placed on the screen
If the ambush sea area is near the East, the swordfish swarm waiting here in Yangjiang will not be able to enter the battlefield on time, but if the ambush sea area is changed to near Green Island, the swordfish swarm will definitely be able to arrive at the battlefield in advance."
The opponent suddenly added fifty torpedo boats, each equipped with twelve torpedoes, which is equivalent to sixty more torpedoes. Degu blinked and looked at Ouyang Yun and said: "Point out the route."
Ouyang Yun pointed from Yangjiang to Shanwei, then to Shantou, all the way to Green Island.
Degu realized that the Japanese aircraft carrier-based aircraft would not be able to provide strong support for the maritime battle if they were restrained by the superior aviation force of the Xuebing Army. In this case, fifty more torpedo boats would be able to determine the direction of the entire battle.
. He did not doubt whether such a school of swordfish existed in Yangjiang, but he doubted whether it could arrive at the battlefield on time. The old French man picked up the drafting ruler placed next to the sand table and followed the route pointed out by Ouyang Yun.
After taking measurements, he then checked the voyage of the Japanese transport fleet and the time required to reach the new ambush sea area. He frowned and looked at the entire sand table again. Suddenly he pointed at Penghu Island in the Taiwan Strait and said: "Penghu Island is still in the hands of the Japanese army.
Right? Your army is mobilizing warships and aviation forces with great fanfare. Will the Japanese not be alert? What if they abandon their planned plan and choose to retreat?" He pointed at Manila Bay and said: "If it were me, I would let the transport fleet go first.
Avoid going to Manila Bay and wait until warships clear the route."
What the old French man said was a disguised form of submission. And this may not be one of the countermeasures that the Japanese army can adopt.
Chen Shichang smiled, straightened up and looked at Degu and said with a smile: "For two reasons, the Japanese will definitely not adopt this strategy. First, Japan's domestic oil reserves are seriously insufficient; second, the Japanese do not
Will they be as wise as you - in their minds, the Royal Navy of the Empire of Japan is invincible in Asia, will they be afraid of our little Swordfish speedboat?"
In current Taiwan, the Taiwan Corps of the Xuebing Army has taken over a vast area except Taipei, Keelung, and Taoyuan. However, the Xuebing Army has not yet regained Penghu Island. This is not because the Japanese army on Penghu Island is so powerful, but because of the Xuebing Army.
The military and navy have always adopted the strategy of keeping a low profile and biding their time.
Because Chen Shichang and Ouyang Yun had full confidence in their own torpedo boats and submarine forces, they had already predicted this war optimistically. However, in fact, they had miscalculated one thing, that is, so far, the Japanese have still
They thought that the enemy submarines raging in the South China Sea were sent by the Americans. Therefore, the Japanese did not expect that the Xuebing Army would have the courage to engage in a decisive battle with them at sea.
As a veteran of a former naval power, Degu naturally understood the deep-seated pride of naval personnel of a powerful naval power. After some thought, he accepted Chen Shichang's statement. However, I don't know if it was due to his pride, but he still thought
He struck Ouyang Yun, Chen Shichang and others with a very firm tone: "I still think this battle is a 50-50 battle - since the Japanese have noticed that there are enemy submarines lurking on the established route, they will definitely strengthen their anti-submarine and submarine operations.
The key lies in being unprepared to attack the enemy. If your submarine force is ineffective, then just relying on these torpedo boats -" At this point, he shook his head seriously, with an expression that showed he was not optimistic about the army and navy.
"Let's wait and see," Ouyang Yun said: "After this battle, I think torpedo boats will be brought back into the sight of the navies of some countries."
"I hope so," Degu smiled noncommittally, but thought in his heart: "If torpedo boats with a height of 80 kilometers per hour are surrounded from all directions, the Japanese army may not be able to maintain a complete blockade with more than 30 warships alone - this
Isn't it Dönitz's wolf pack tactics?" Suddenly, he had this realization in his heart. He raised his head and looked at Ouyang Yun, his eyes becoming a little complicated.
De Gu was worthy of being an old navy man. He looked at the overall situation of the sand table and made a judgment. He believed that the large-scale assembly of the Xuebing Army's torpedo boat force would arouse the vigilance of the Japanese army on Penghu Island. This prediction was correct.
Almost when he said these words, Huang Tianxun's swordfish schools were passing continuously from the sea to the southwest of Penghu Island. The Japanese soldiers on the watchtower on the island facing the southwest saw this scene, and first
Surprised, an alarm was issued immediately. The island's garrison officer, a colonel, immediately boarded the watchtower. He picked up the telescope and looked at it for a while, and his face turned pale. Then he turned back and ran back to the headquarters, asking his communications staff to call Xiaolin immediately.
Jizang Gen reported this situation.
Kobayashi Nobuyoshi knew that the transport fleet was attacked by a submarine in the waters between Luzon Island and Taiwan. He was sensitively aware that there was an inevitable connection between the two, so he immediately reported it to the Navy Ministry and the Military Ministry respectively.
Power Generation reports this discovery.
What happened afterwards was as Chen Shichang said. The conceited Japanese naval personnel, including Isoroku Yamamoto, did not think that the small torpedo boats could pose a threat to the Royal Navy of the Empire of Japan. Instead, they expected to use them to
The plane severely damaged the torpedo boat unit of the Xuebing Army. As a result, the Battle of Green Island still took place as scheduled.
