Rise from the sword

Chapter 701 Blockade!

Guam.

590 kilometers to the west.

Under the night.

"God bless Amaterasu."

A devil's transport ship full of food and some fuel was quietly sailing towards the devil's homeland. On the watchtower, a devil soldier looked around the dark surrounding sea area and prayed silently in his heart.

Although the devils tried their best to block it, it was limited to the mainland. Outside, the news of the combined fleet's disastrous defeat spread. All the devils knew in their hearts that this sea was no longer safe, but full of dangers.

The enemy may attack at any time.

For safety, the captain ordered all lights to be turned off, even the anti-collision lights were turned off, and the driver relied on experience, and at the same time turned the horsepower to the maximum, hoping to pass through this sea area at the fastest speed.

"God bless Amaterasu."

Inside the bridge, the devil captain with decades of experience was also worried.

Although all the light tubes were turned off and the engine power was fully turned on, the huge noise resounded through him. The anxiety in his heart at this time was like the noise, overwhelming and rolling in.

In fact, the best solution is to sail at a low speed, so that the noise is the smallest and the quietest, and it can avoid being detected by sonar.

As a senior captain, he also knows some blocked news. The enemy's technical level is very strong. The United Fleet has suffered countless times. There is a great possibility that it will be equipped with very advanced sonar.

But he couldn't.

It is impossible to get out of Guam coverage without driving at full speed.

During the day, a large number of enemy planes return to patrol, which is even more dangerous.

However, the domestic situation is critical and there is a serious shortage of supplies. He must find a way to transport this batch of food supplies back.

·······
"Ah···"

450 kilometers west of Guam, in a newly commissioned torpedo boat, a young soldier stared at the radar screen and couldn't help yawning.

"The little devil should not dare to show his head."

He couldn't help muttering.

The United Fleet has been overthrown, and the whole world knows it. The devils also have bombers dropping leaflets on a large scale. At this time, there should be no devils transport ships looking for death.

"Don't think the devil is too afraid of death."

The captain on the side shook his head.

The navy is a new arm, and it is also a technical arm. Soldiers need to be familiar with the sea, familiar with navigation, not seasick, and need a good level of knowledge to be able to master various technical equipment and navigation of warships.

The former is okay, fishermen who are familiar with the sea will catch a lot, if it is really not good, they will catch some elite seedlings from the army, fighters with strong physical fitness and good adaptability, and the army will catch a lot of them.

After a few months of training at sea, there is no difference from a senior fisherman. Sleeping in sea conditions of level [-] or [-] is like playing.

Today, most of the ships are such soldiers.

So did the engine room watch.

With the expansion of the tank force, talents in the field of engines are constantly emerging in the force. Although the torpedo boat uses a low-speed large diesel engine, the structure is very different from that of the tank, but after a period of training and teaching by the master master, master the basics. Use and maintenance, and repairs are no problem at all.

But with a good level of knowledge, this is difficult.

Cultural knowledge cannot be replenished in a day or two, or a month or two.

Although there are many intellectuals in the coastal areas, many are willing to fight for the country, but before the construction of the base area, a large number of talents poured into the factories. Digested.

The future cannot be affected for the sake of the present naval construction.

So in the large torpedo boats at this time, there are some newcomers, or they are good seedlings selected from the army, young and hard-working, receiving training on board, and some are intellectuals recruited by Nanyang.

The latter is by his side.

The Chinese, who went to Nanyang with their parents when they were young, are half a college student with a high level of cultural knowledge. Under the guidance of the master, they can fully learn the complex radar and navigation equipment in a month, and they can even disassemble and troubleshoot.

Sonar will also play.

But he lacks combat experience. Although he hates devils to the bone, he obviously doesn't know much about devils.

As for himself.

Enlisted in the army for four years, former member of the special team of the Independence Regiment, studied cultural knowledge with the political commissar for four years, although not as good as a monk, but it can be said that the cultural foundation is not weaker than any high school diploma, followed Wang Gensheng to the coastal area more than a year ago and started to form a maritime guerrilla The political commissar also hired a master to teach them sailing knowledge. After a year of hard work at sea, he was promoted to captain a month ago.

The large torpedo boat continued to advance, and the radar antenna on top was still rotating.

After half an hour.

"There is a situation."

The situation on the screen lifted the spirits of the young soldiers on duty:
"The distance is 150 kilometers, and it is suspected to be a signal from a transport ship."

"Let's go by."

The captain gave the order immediately.

Although the warship he commanded at this time was still a torpedo boat in name, it was completely different from the previous hundred-ton boats.

The displacement has increased sharply, with a full load of 450 tons. Weapons are equipped with a single-tube 125mm naval gun, two 40mm dual-purpose single-tube guns, and four detachable 550mm torpedoes, which can be disassembled for deployment when necessary. Mine missions are either loaded with other weapons, or a high-speed armed launch.

Although the weapons have been enhanced, compared to this tonnage, it is really not a card. Four torpedoes, a single-barreled 125 naval gun, and two 40mm small guns are placed on a full load of [-] Tons of ships, it can be said to be a reduction in the simplified configuration.

This also brings additional benefits.

Very good battery life, four 28-horsepower storage injection low-speed diesel engines, large fuel capacity, so that it has a maximum battery life of [-] nautical miles, and a maximum speed of [-] knots.

There is also quite a good living space, and the occupant comfort level is very high.

Fewer armaments, high quality diesels, also reduced the need for personnel.

So strictly speaking, it should be called a frigate, with at most a torpedo added.

In the plan, this is the future coastline patrol boat, used to combat criminals at sea and defend the sea.

Today, when the United Fleet is almost wiped out, this kind of frigate is very suitable for dealing with devil merchant ships.

Even if the torpedoes are removed, the 56mm automatic main gun with a diameter of 125 times is very powerful for merchant ships. The reason why the torpedoes are installed is purely to sink the merchant ships as quickly as possible.

·····
the next day.

Tokyo, Prime Minister's Office.

"The enemy has landed at Balikpapan."

"The enemy has landed at Palembang."

"The Higashisaka Maru was sunk."

Konoe Fumimaro received another piece of bad news.

"understood."

He very calmly threw the telegram on the table.

The enemy landed in two oil fields, which is normal,
The United Fleet suffered a disastrous defeat, and only six warships were left to return home, and each of them was wounded, needed repairs, and completely lost combat effectiveness. At this time, the Great Japanese Empire no longer had a navy.

Without the navy, the other party still hasn't attacked the empire's transport ships?

"prime minister."

A staff officer rushed in hastily:

"They entered the peninsula."

"A large number of tanks have entered the peninsula. The garrisoned No. 90th and 98th regiments have lost contact. The garrison is requesting tactical guidance."

Fumimaro Konoe's breathing stopped suddenly, and his face seemed to turn pale. Then he took a deep breath, accepted the telegram with a calm expression, and threw the telegram on the table without looking at it.

Tactical guidance?

How does he give tactical guidance now?

Li Yunlong and others have bombed the empire for eight and a half months, and it has become more and more intense. It is conservatively estimated that 200 million tons of bombs fell on the empire's mainland.

In recent months, even that kind of single-engine attack aircraft dared to bomb the empire itself.

The city is almost flattened, and it is difficult for you to find a few intact buildings. Due to the lack of bombing targets, roads, railways, and even country roads are all enemy bombing targets.

Material transportation has become a big problem, and it is almost impossible to mobilize troops.

The empire is paralyzed.

Also tactical guidance fart.

And now the United Fleet has suffered a disastrous defeat, and the empire has lost its sea power. Even if it gathers its forces, it cannot transport it. The Sea of ​​Japan is already full of enemy warships. The so-called guided missile destroyer is patrolling the Sea of ​​Japan!

There is nothing to do but wait to die.

As for the so-called [-] million pieces of jade, I couldn't help but sneer when I thought of this Konoe Fumimaro.

One hundred million pieces of jade?
The enemy did not have the idea of ​​landing on the mainland, but continued to bombard the sky and cover the sky, as if there was an endless stream. Now even the port has begun to bomb, and even the farmland is not spared.

By what jade broken?
Do you rely on bamboo poles to barrel other people's bombers?
Only now did he realize that there were so many idiots around him.

This hundred million jade fragments and even the locusts have some tacit meanings.

However, a few people put forward some useful suggestions, surrendering to the United States, through the United States to check and balance the Republic of China, Tianlocust also acquiesced, and he also sent people to contact, but there is no response yet.

but.

He had a premonition in his heart.

I am afraid that this matter will not be so easy to succeed. The Yankees are now deeply trapped in Europe.

······
at the same time.

Somewhere over the devils, five ten-shot bombers came here.

"This is the devil's oil depot."

The navigator pointed to the flat ground below and said:
"According to intelligence, more than 100 million tons of heavy oil are stored here."

After killing the Devils United Fleet, Li Yunlong immediately prepared to give the Devils the bottom line and blow up the Devils' fuel reserves, so that the little Devils' warships would be completely finished.

"Prepare."

As the commander's voice fell, in the cabin, the bombardier opened the bomb compartment, and several huge and improved ground penetrating bombs leaked out.

Added radio guidance.

Has been changed to incendiary bombs.

shhhhhh...

Then one after another huge ground penetrating bombs fell into the ground. The huge inertia caused the hard warheads to go straight into the ground and reach the underground oil depot facility. After a few seconds, violent flames shot out from the surface.

Like a volcanic eruption.

"withdraw."

Dozens of ground-penetrating incendiary bombs were lost, and the commander retreated to the mainland with the plane.

······
"General."

Somewhere in the port, inside the Yamato ship on a hidden berth, the teenage Deputy Takeshi Toyoda received a telegram:
"The oil depot was bombed by the enemy, and all the fuel reserves were destroyed."

"understood."

Deputy Takeshi Toyoda sighed, but was not shocked by the bad news.

Although he brought back six warships, and the Nagato had a total of seven ships, but because of the battle, six warships were excluded from the Yukikaze, and the rest were seriously damaged, and they could not go out to fight without repairs.

As for the Nagato, it was disabled.

There is still some oil left.

The oil depot was bombed and he had little effect.

On the contrary, the imperial shipping has a great influence. Without these fuels, those cutting-edge transport ships are completely useless.

What he can do now is to use the fleet's prevention and control artillery fire to defend the airspace of the port and the surrounding factories.

The fleet-level anti-aircraft firepower, combined with the anti-aircraft guns of the ground troops, is still very effective. The enemy's bombing was successfully repelled before. At the last moment, find a deep sea and open the sea valve to avoid humiliation of the combined fleet.

······
"Let's just let the devil's warships go like this?"

In Heyuan County, the deputy head of an air force regiment was a little unwilling.

Knowing the location of the Devils United Fleet, and there is an important factory nearby, but not bombing, it makes people very angry.

"Leave them alone for now."

Huang Quan cheerfully responded:

"It's meaningless to bomb and sink it now. The commander means that it will be captured in the future."

"hiss···"

In the command room, everyone opened their eyes wide.

······
"Continue to blockade?"

Ping'an County, conference room, big bosses gathered, everyone looked at Li Yunlong.

Although... But this time the commander of the battle is Li Yunlong and Li Datuan, and the rest of the people are watching the show. As for the follow-up, the concept is that strong neighbors are absolutely not allowed.

"Continue the blockade and urge it to surrender."

Leader Li Da said seriously:
"Let's slowly seize the islands and other places in Southeast Asia, and follow the same example as the Burma Highway, using economic means to influence and minimize military influence."

"good idea."

The crowd nodded in agreement.

The devil's homeland still has some strength at present, and the slogan of [-] million jade fragments still has some appeal. Although it is not afraid, there is no need to sacrifice in vain.

As for the Southeast Asian islands.

Although carrying a gun is exciting, everyone has gradually discovered that the best way is not to use guns to force others to do something, but to use money to lure others to do something, and then support local forces. The currency is directly linked to food stamps to form a community of interests.

In this way, it is possible to completely prevent being robbed of interests by enemies and opponents.

It's much better than some ghost colonization and direct occupation.

Although it is actually sold to others, but also asked others to help you count the money.

"However, it's not like doing nothing."

Li Yunlong continued:
"The little devil still has a lot of local technicians. We can recruit some, so we have to increase support for its internal resistance forces and recruit some technicians by the way."

"Ah."

Everyone nodded and smiled.

Military blockade, internal divisions, causing conflicts...Feng Shui turns.

"Then."

Li Yunlong suddenly continued:
"I plan to recruit some allied troops on the peninsula..."

·····
at the same time.

White House.

Franklin also held a meeting for the devil's surreptitious contact.
