Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Under the worried eyes of Zhang Qiusheng and others, an encrypted combat order was quickly transmitted to the temporary headquarters of the National Defense Forces Navy in Vladivostok via telebo.

As an order sounded in the telecommunications room of the Vladivostok Temporary Headquarters, in less than 10 minutes, all the naval officers above lieutenant colonel located in the Vladivostok military port sat around a conference table in front of Sun Haijun, sitting upright, waiting for Sun Haijun's order …

After quickly scanning the surrounding subordinates with a pair of sharp eyes, Sun Haijun directly picked up the telegram he had just received, and ordered: "Now I announce the discipline of the meeting...no one present today can make today's report without my authorization. The content of the meeting will be disclosed in advance to disturb the morale of the army. Otherwise, the military law will engage in..."

"Yes, Commander..." More than a dozen officers replied in unison, and their faces were gradually shrouded in seriousness and dignity.

Sun Haijun nodded, and under everyone's gaze, he continued to speak: "Comrades, this is a piece of information just forwarded to us by the National Defense Forces Headquarters: The Japanese Combined Fleet has dispatched a medium-sized aircraft carrier half an hour ago. A light aircraft carrier, three battleships, six cruisers, 24 destroyers, a total of 36 surface ships and an unknown number of underwater submarine forces quickly rushed to Vladivostok and wiped us out in Vladivostok..."[

"In response to this situation, the General Headquarters of the National Defense Forces ordered: Our naval fleet will immediately attack the submarine brigade, the first squadron, and take the initiative to attack them on the only way the Japanese combined fleet must pass, and give them a slap in the face. After destroying a certain number of their ships , forcing them to take the initiative to retreat."

The Japanese army has more than 30 large surface ships, not only battleships, but also aircraft carriers that can take off and land hundreds of fighters at the same time.And his own First Squadron only has one battleship, two cruisers, and six destroyers... Such a disparity in strength caused every naval officer and soldier who came to the meeting to feel a little worried.

Of course, some people may say that the Wehrmacht Navy Fleet has always been a secret weapon, the submarine brigade.However, think of the configuration of the Japanese joint fleet this time: 24 destroyers specially designed to target submarines, and an unknown number of underwater submarine forces.These officers were also sweating hard for the submarine brigade that was about to enter the war.

You must know that the reason why the submarine brigade was able to achieve unimaginable results in several naval battles is that the most important factor is the sudden change in the battlefield.Before the Japanese navy knew about the submarine force, it suddenly attacked the Japanese navy from the bottom of the water, which caught the Japanese navy by surprise.

But now, the Japanese Combined Fleet, which has suffered twice, has obviously taken precautions in this regard, otherwise, they would not have used more than 20 destroyers at once.Under such circumstances, can the only submarine brigade that the Navy can rely on win the imaginary victory?

While everyone was still immersed in the shocking news, Sun Haijun, standing at the front of the conference table, had a very long time to clearly see everyone's reactions within half a minute.

In fact, as the commander of the Navy of the National Defense Forces, Sun Haijun also has no foundation or confidence in the upcoming naval battle. After all, the strength of the fleets of both the enemy and us lies there.

More importantly, in Sun Haijun's eyes: Naval battles are different from land battles, and there are no tricks to play tricks on.

In a real naval battle, in addition to the number of ships, the tonnage of the ships, and the caliber of the guns of the ships, the most important thing is to compare the quality of the naval officers and soldiers.Over the past year, although Sun Haijun has tried his best to train thousands of naval officers and soldiers under his command to become an elite navy that is no less than the Japanese navy, this cannot be accomplished in a short period of time.

Although I have this idea, the commander-in-chief's order must be implemented.

As a senior officer of the National Defense Forces, Sun Haijun knows that whether it is for Vladivostok or for this decisive battle related to the fate of the National Defense Forces, the Navy must do everything possible to block the Japanese fleet and prevent it from approaching Vladivostok...

After a long sigh, Sun Haijun, who had already made up his mind to die in this naval battle, had no choice but to break the heavy atmosphere in the conference room, and first said: "Comrades, everyone is a senior officer of the navy. Regarding the upcoming naval battle , Everyone has any ideas, you can speak freely, how to repel the Japanese combined fleet at the least cost..."

silence……

This is the only word that can be used to describe it in the conference room of the headquarters at this moment.

Facing the current situation, Sun Haijun seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and the dignified expression on his face did not change at all, and he continued to speak: "Since everyone has nothing to say, let me talk about our thoughts... The purpose of the Japanese combined fleet to attack Vladivostok now is unspoken. For example, that is to destroy us. Therefore, whether we want to or not, this naval battle must be fought..." Over the past year, the commander-in-chief's devotion and effort to our navy, I don't want to say, everyone knows it in their hearts.It can be said with certainty that without the commander-in-chief, there would be no naval fleet that defeated the Japanese navy many times and showed our country's prestige.Now, the country needs us, and the National Defense Forces need us. I hope that all of you here will stand up bravely, show courage, and take on the burden of our navy, as in previous naval battles, so that the Japanese combined fleet will not underestimate us. ..." After a word, the faces of the people who were silent just now gradually changed. A trace of murderousness, a trace of determination... slowly appeared on the faces of the people in front of them.

And just when Commander Sun Haijun nodded very satisfied, and was about to continue to say something.The sound of hurried footsteps suddenly entered the conference room.Immediately afterwards, there was a hasty knock on the door, which sounded at the door of the conference room.

Before Commander Sun Haijun could speak, the closed door of the conference room had already been opened.Afterwards, the anxious figure of the communications staff officer of the headquarters appeared in the meeting room.After paying a military salute to Sun Haijun, he reported anxiously: "Commander, the urgent and encrypted message just sent by the Commander-in-Chief..."

Sun Haijun, who was in a difficult situation, didn't think of any way out.It was as if a ray of light was suddenly found in the darkness, his eyes lit up, and he ordered eagerly to the communications staff officer: "The chief executive has a secret message, then why are you still standing there... Send the secret message up immediately, if there is no accident, the chief officer will definitely It was a good solution for our navy..."

As soon as the communications officer handed over the telegram, Sun Haijun snatched it away.Then, under the watchful eyes of all his subordinates, he quickly began to browse. [

When Sun Haijun read the secret telegram, more than a dozen naval officers and soldiers were also full of expectations for this telegram.In the eyes of these naval officers and soldiers, although the commander-in-chief Li Guosheng was from the army, he also had command capabilities and insights no less than theirs in the navy.Otherwise, the commander-in-chief will not find another way to enhance the strength of the Chinese navy through the development of underwater submarine forces.

This secret telegram did not disappoint everyone. Under the gaze of more than a dozen pairs of eyes, the expression on Sun Haijun's face first changed from anxiety of receiving the telegram to contemplation, and then from contemplation to surprise.

In the end, he put the telegram directly on the conference table, and said with a flustered face: "Good way... I never thought that naval battles can be fought like this... Now it seems that my grandson has learned naval battles for half his life, and what he has learned is Some superficial knowledge..."

Hearing this, the faces of all the subordinates immediately showed strong expectations and fiery expressions.He Zhongyi, the captain of the First Fleet, first said: "Commander, what is the method? Could it be that the Chief Commander really has a way for us to defeat the Japanese Combined Fleet..."

Sun Haijun nodded noncommittally, and said, "That's for sure. When did the chief officer fight an unsure battle? Only now do I know that naval battles are not as simple as the confrontation of naval guns as we imagined. Naval battles are also You can use a variety of tactics and tactics like land warfare..."

After finishing speaking, Sun Haojun's gaze shifted directly to Qi Yong, the captain of the submarine brigade under everyone's gaze, and asked: "Captain Qi, you are a submarine commander who studied in Germany, and you must be very familiar with various submarine tactics. I don’t know if you’ve heard of submarine “guerrilla warfare”, using the submarine’s concealment under the water to fight guerrilla warfare with enemy surface ships. Through piecemeal attacks, eat up the enemy’s vitality bit by bit, so that the enemy will pay the price without knowing it. Its heavy price will never be forgotten..."

"Submarine guerrilla warfare..." Qi Yong, the captain of the submarine brigade, frowned suddenly.Because, for Qi Yong, this word is definitely the first time he has heard it since he learned submarine tactics.

As the captain of the submarine brigade that Li Guosheng relied heavily on, although Qi Yong received Li Guosheng's personal guidance many times.However, in these instructions, apart from learning the world-famous submarine 'wolf pack' tactics, I have not heard any content about 'submarine guerrilla warfare'.

Although he didn't want to break the hope that had just been ignited in everyone's hearts, Captain Qi Yong still mustered up his courage and replied truthfully: "Commander, please forgive my humble position and ignorance. I have never heard of the submarine tactic of 'submarine guerrilla warfare'..."

Just as disappointment gradually appeared on the faces of all the colleagues, the excited smile on Commander Sun Haijun's face unexpectedly remained unchanged.

Facing Qi Yong with a look of indifference, he said: "It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it, just hear it and learn it now... Judging from the telegram from the chief executive, this tactic is very simple, just need to pierce a piece of paper..."

After finishing speaking, he took the telegram and walked to Qi Yong's location, and while passing the telegram to Qi Yong, he ordered: "The chief explained several conventional tactics of'guerrilla warfare' in detail in the secret telegram, you take it Immediately find the squadron leader and squad leader under your command to study and study. I will give you one hour. After one hour, the submarine brigade must be sent out immediately to meet the Japanese combined fleet in the open sea. As for the first squadron, it will be three hours later. Set off and provide necessary fire support and corresponding logistical supplies to the submarine brigade..."

On the sky-blue sea as far as the eye can see, a large-scale naval fleet, under the guidance of three "product"-shaped destroyers, is like a sharp sword, cutting waves, and killing in the direction of Vladivostok with an unstoppable momentum. go.

And just when this huge fleet was still 12 nautical miles away from Vladivostok.The 20 submarines of the First Squadron of the Submarine Brigade, which was ordered to attack, are lined up in a very dense formation in a fan shape, suspended at a depth of [-] meters below the sea surface, like sea dragons, quietly facing this place from the side. The Japanese fleet is getting closer and closer...

At this moment, if the driving directions of the two fleets are displayed more three-dimensionally on the map, we will find that the driving directions of the two fleets are exactly at right angles.More importantly, according to the respective driving speeds of the two fleets, the two fleets belonging to completely different camps will collide at the same point at the latest in 2 minutes.

In one of the 12 submarines of the First Squadron of the Submarine Brigade, in order not to reveal their whereabouts in advance, the squadron leader Qiu Ming had to give up observing the specific movements of the Japanese combined fleet through the periscope.However, the latest sonar detector equipped in the submarine is reporting the latest location of the Japanese joint fleet to Qiu Ming every ten seconds...

As the distance between the two fleets got closer, the squadron leader Qiu Ming's hands also clenched into fists unconsciously.Not only that, beads of sweat also began to flow from Qiu Ming's forehead.

It must be clear that in the state where the two fleets of the enemy and us are informed of the situation, if you want to hit the target, you must ensure that the attack time and attack location are selected to the most appropriate position.Otherwise, the first round of torpedoes fired by myself would not only fail to hit the target, but would be buried under the sea under the pursuit and attack of several destroyers of the Japanese Navy.

You must know that with the cruising speed and agility of the destroyer, even if the submarine I am driving is lying on the sea surface and sailing at high speed, it is not an opponent. What's more, once the submarine dives below the surface, its speed will be greatly affected.

As time passed, the distance between the two fleets was getting closer and closer to the data calculated in advance.

"Reporting captain, the distance between the fleets is the last 500 meters... It is estimated that in ten seconds, the Japanese combined fleet will enter our best attack position..." the sonar soldier reported with a serious face.

Hearing this, several officers and soldiers gathered in the command cabin of the submarine turned their eyes to Qi Yong as if they had discussed it, and waited for Qi Yong's order...[

At this moment, Qi Yong's fist clenched even tighter.After taking a long breath, he eased the tension in his heart.Qi Yong slowly picked up the radio walkie-talkie in front of him to contact each submarine, and while looking at the watch on his arm, he ordered in a deep voice: "Attention all submarines, I am Captain Qi Yong, and now I order: all torpedo tubes All ready for launch...I'm starting the pre-launch countdown now, May [-]...one...launch..."

A series of dull sounds sounded from the stern of the submarine, and the four torpedoes, like whales, quickly rushed out of the torpedo tubes and flew towards the sea and the Japanese combined fleet that was getting closer and closer to them.

The moment the torpedo was launched, the entire submarine trembled.Captain Qi Yong once again ordered into the microphone in his hand: "Attention all submarines, I am Captain Qi Yong... Now I order that all submarines retreat immediately according to the predetermined plan... If there are Japanese ships behind to pursue them, immediately send the Japanese troops to pursue them." The ship is attracted to the predetermined sea area..."

After the order was issued, Qi Yong breathed a sigh of relief, and directly ordered to his subordinates: "What are you doing here in a daze, do you all want to eat the deep-water fry of the little devil... Now I order, the submarine will immediately turn around, dive, and return to the scheduled The sea area retreats..."

When the twelve submarine dragons were turning to escape on the bottom of the sea, a total of 48 torpedoes had already floated to the surface.It's like a whale flying past the surface of the sea, forming a series of snow-white waves on the sea surface.

48 torpedoes, each with a distance of 20 to 1000 meters, add up to a torpedo attack formation with a frontal width of [-] meters... Such an obvious target, it is impossible to deceive the cautious Japanese navy.

The moment each torpedo surfaced, a burst of sharp and ear-piercing sirens began to reverberate over the Japanese United Fleet.Subsequently, the Japanese army's three aircraft carriers, three battleships, and six cruisers, which were under heavy attack, quickly began to accelerate or evade.

At the same time, the destroyers trailing behind the battleships and cruisers, as if they were coming to die, took the initiative to speed up the situation, blocking the real target battleships and aircraft carriers of the torpedo array, and serving as human shields for these large surface ships. In an attempt to block a large number of torpedoes attacking battleships and aircraft carriers.

Of course, it is one thing to protect battleships and aircraft carriers from attack, and it is another to find and eliminate these Chinese submarine forces that dared to attack the Japanese combined fleet.

Twelve submarines turned around and dived on the bottom of the sea. Such a large movement was impossible to make.

At the same time that the Japanese United Fleet discovered the torpedo, the approximate locations of the 12 submarines were also discovered by the Japanese United Fleet immediately.Therefore, the 12 destroyers specially prepared for the Chinese submarine force, like hungry wolves who found their prey, quickly rushed to the location of the submarine.Then, following the bubbles generated by the submarine's dive and retreat, it began to chase and destroy the 12 Chinese submarines that dared to attack itself...

The 12 submarines of the first squadron of the submarine brigade were chased by the 12 destroyers of the Japanese army, frantically fleeing for their lives, and led the 12 destroyers to the trap set by the remaining three squadrons of the submarine brigade.After 20 seconds of high-speed speeding, 48 torpedoes have crossed the 500-meter distance between the two fleets, and then very closely collided with the Japanese destroyers blocking the outermost periphery of the Japanese combined fleet.

While the sound of explosions continued, a small number of torpedoes successfully passed through the gap between the Japanese destroyer and the destroyer. Under the shocked and desperate eyes of Japanese naval officers and soldiers, they continued to fly forward and slammed into the Japanese battleship that was rapidly turning. and the aircraft carrier.

The gap between the torpedoes was fifteen to twenty meters, which meant that no matter how the Japanese warships located in this sea area evaded, they would hit at least one heavy torpedo flying at high speed.

For heavy battleships and aircraft carriers, a heavy torpedo with a charge of [-] kilograms is not enough to make them lose their combat effectiveness directly.However, for a destroyer with a tonnage of only two to three thousand tons, as long as a heavy torpedo successfully hits the target, if you are lucky, the destroyer may survive. If you are not lucky, the destroyer will be directly blown into two pieces. cut.

Violent explosions sounded on the sea surface, and water columns with a height of tens of meters rose from the sea surface one by one. The section of the sea surface under the torpedo attack was instantly shrouded in the explosion sound and the thick water mist produced by the explosion. (to be continued...)
