Age of Rebirth

Tang Qiuquan's eyes opened suddenly, and a cold light flashed, "Order, the troops will start immediately!" He said short and forcefully, and the staff officers standing in front of the telephone immediately conveyed the order to all troops.

The attack on the starting point of the military port began to commotion. Ships full of soldiers, landing ships full of tanks and armored vehicles, blew their whistles, and slowly left the port to form formations on the sea. Meet the fleet waiting on the sea, divide into four different directions, and sail to the depths of the choppy sea.

On the field airport, dozens of reconnaissance planes took off first, and carried out preliminary reconnaissance on the route planned by the troop carrier fleet. The huge antenna of the ground radar station’s radar was rotating regularly to collect all suspicious signals. At this time, Dawn has not yet broken in the eastern sky.

In the waters between the Shandong Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula, a series of small islands constitute the island group in this area. They are Daqin Island, Chenghuangmiao Island in the north and south, and Bohai Bay. The white waves, the Manchukuo Bohai Sea Cruise Fleet, and more than 20 old-fashioned warships are quietly lurking among these islands, daring not to move.

I also have to thank the Japanese Empire for their stinginess when they donated the Manchurian warships. These dilapidated warships are all small in tonnage. Otherwise, the waters between these islands will definitely not accommodate the Manchukuo Bohai Sea Cruise Fleet. More than 20 warships are hiding of.

Fleet Commander Mitsuto Urayama, Navy Colonel, sat in the command cabin with a gloomy face, without saying a word. Mitsuto Urayama, who previously served in the First Fleet of the Imperial Navy, served as the captain of a destroyer.In the Eastern Pacific, during a naval battle with the US fleet.He lost an arm. Two years ago, he was transferred to Manchuria by the Ministry of the Navy. He became the commander of the Bohai Sea Cruise Fleet of Manchukuo, and his rank was promoted from Lieutenant to Major.

However, before coming to Manchuria, General Pu Shanman was quite unhappy in his heart, feeling that he was assigned.But after arriving in Manchuria, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the days in Manchuria were quite nourishing. He was the only naval officer who was promoted later, and in the imperial navy, he was a small role that could not be put on the table.But it is quite different in Manchuria, not only as the commander of the fleet, but also as the Minister of the Navy of Manchuria.

In other words, the navy of the entire Manchukuo is under its own command, under the "government" of Manchukuo.He is also a person who stomps and trembles. As for salary and extra income, it is dozens of times higher than when he served in the Imperial Fleet before. Not only that, but there are countless other ways to make extra money.For example, the cost of repairing warships.It was enough to make the emperor of the Manchukuo spend several million taels of silver every year, and of course, about half of it would go into the personal pocket of His Excellency the Great Zuo.

Speaking of which, General Pu Shanman really appreciates the stinginess of the empire. If the warships were brand new for Manchukuo, I would have no chance of earning money. In just two years, General Pu Shanman became very rich. He bought a mansion in his hometown in Hokkaido. According to the plan of Urayama Mitsuru, he will earn gold tickets in the Manchukuo Navy for a few years, and then apply for retirement on the grounds of physical discomfort, return to his hometown, and become a real rich man. [

As for working hard for the emperor of Manchukuo, Master Pu Shanman is not that stupid. Therefore, in the past few years, the Manchukuo Bohai Sea Cruise Fleet has been careful not to go out of line. Even the normal cruise in the open sea has been cancelled. Well, Your Excellency, Colonel, cannot forget that two years ago in the waters of Liaodong Bay, because the captain of one of his warships acted excessively, he wantonly attacked the fishing boat of the Chinese people.

As a result, it was met with vicious revenge from the Northern Flying Group of the Air Force of the Independent Division. The entire warship, together with more than a hundred sailors on it, sank to the bottom of the Liaodong Bay to feed the sharks. All warships are not allowed to go out to sea and cruise without authorization. Don't ask for merit, but do you ask for success? Your Excellency has no plans to risk his life and stay in Manchuria.

However, the happy life of General Urayama, taking money and playing with women, was completely ended last night by the overnight visit of Lieutenant General Matsuda, Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army, and Major General Haneda, Commander of the Kwantung Army Air Force.

In all fairness, General Urayama Mitsuru is absolutely unwilling to accept such a mission of sending him to death. He has a lot of money waiting to be spent by himself, but General Nanjiro's order cannot be disobeyed. If you don't execute it, you will move your head, and you will be named as a criminal of the Japanese Empire. Therefore, Urayama Mitsuru Banbanna led the fleet, and after several hours of bumpy nights, they finally rushed to the ambush sea area. .

Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, General Pu Shanman asked the fleet chief of staff, Major Xiao Zhao, "Xiao Zhaojun, have you found any traces of the China Fleet and the Troop Transport Fleet?" I hope that today is not the day for the independent division to cross the sea to attack. In this case, it is impossible for the Bohai cruise fleet to continue to lurk in this sea area and return home. Even Admiral Nanjiro can't find fault.

Shao Zuo Xiaozhao shook his head and replied: "So far, we haven't found any signs of the independent division fleet. Your Excellency, Commander, shall we send a reconnaissance speedboat with a radio to go out to the Shandong Peninsula for reconnaissance?"

Chief of Staff Xiao Zhao suggested it professionally, but he had no direction. In the eyes of His Majesty, a sense of relief flashed across his eyes, and he said in a lectured tone: "Xiao Zhaojun, you don't understand now, we are fighting It's an ambush, and it's about surprise and sudden action. If we send out scout speedboats, wouldn't it be possible to expose the target again? Command the fleet to keep the wires silent. Without my order, no ships are allowed to attack without authorization !"

"I served in the Imperial Navy. When I was in the bloody battle with the American fleet in the Pacific Ocean, Xiao Zhaojun must have just entered the Imperial Naval Academy, right? I still need to practice in the battle!" Colonel Pu Shanman began to shake the sign, showing his veteran status Well, as the chief of staff, Major Xiao Zhao could only listen. In his heart, he was already so angry that his lungs exploded, wishing to slap this fat old guy with one arm missing severely.

From the time of the fleet, Chief of Staff Xiao Zhao has noticed that Commander Pu Shanman is timid and fearful from the bottom of his heart for the passivity of this generous mission to die. An officer of the Imperial Japanese Navy, his soul has been corrupted by money, Shao Zuo Xiaozhao couldn't figure it out, why did the Imperial Navy Department allow this scum of the Imperial Navy to serve as the commander of a fleet for two years?

Chief of Staff Xiao Zhao has already made up his mind, if he is lucky enough to save his life during this feat, he will definitely go to the Ministry of the Navy to truthfully report the facts. Of course, the prerequisite is that he can survive the suicide attack. , Survival, the hope is extremely slim. For such a result, Chief of Staff Xiao Zhao is full of excited expectations. For the hegemony of the Great Japanese Empire, to be able to sleep in the blue sea forever, wouldn't it be the ultimate wish of an Imperial Navy officer? Good home?

General Pu Shanman hoped that the fleet and troop transport fleet of the Independent Division would not come today, or, with better luck, the route they passed would bypass this island. In that case, he would not have to go to Suicide", it's a pity that General Nanjiro has a reasonable explanation. He has completed the mission and saved his life. Is it the best of both worlds? If possible, His Excellency will even find a way to remind the Chinese people. Of course, this It's just wishful thinking!

General Pu Shanman's relaxation lasted less than 10 minutes, "Dingling!" The phone rang in the cabin, so suddenly that His Excellency was so frightened that His Excellency was trembling all over, and Chief of Staff Xiao Zhao's hands were sick. He grabbed the front of General Pu Shan and answered the phone, "I am the Fleet Command, what's the matter?"

"Haney? - Found the Chinese fleet and troop transport fleet, coming towards the sea area where we ambushed. Is the situation true? - Yoshi! I will report to the commander immediately, and you should pay attention to it!" In Xiaozhao When the chief of staff was on the phone, General Pu Shanman's face was as ugly as a dead man, and he lamented in his heart: "Damn it, what are you afraid of coming, the independent division's fleet really came, Amaterasu, Your Majesty the Emperor! Could it be that I, Pu Shanman, are destined to be here today?"

Putting down the phone, Chief of Staff Xiao Zhao ignored Commander Pu Shanman's dead fish-like face at all, rubbed his hands excitedly, and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, after receiving a report from the watchmen, they found the fleet and troop transport of the Chinese people The fleet is coming towards our ambush area, and it will enter our ambush area in about an hour. Commander, the time has come to contribute to the Great Japanese Empire. Please issue an order immediately, and the fleet will be ready immediately. Ready to attack!"

The worrying thing finally came. General Pu Shanman was very upset. He absolutely didn't want to die. He hadn't spent a lot of money. Wouldn't it be a pity to die like this, "Xiao Zhaojun, I feel unwell I'm afraid it's a heart attack, and I'm afraid I can't fulfill the important task of commanding the fleet. Now, in the name of the commander of the Manchukuo Bohai Cruise Fleet, I officially announce that the chief of staff of the fleet, Major Xiaozhao, will assume the post of temporary commander of the fleet with full powers. Command the fleet to fight!"[

General Pu Shanman's words were announced to all the officers in the command cabin, and then he said to the military doctor onboard: "Sanyou Military Medical Officer, come to my cabin immediately and check my condition!" The officers watched with strange eyes, and left the command cabin without looking back.

When Colonel Urayama left, there was no officer to see him off. These Japanese naval officers were like mirrors in their hearts. The fleet was about to make a heroic "suicide" attack. At this critical moment, Your Excellency the commander suddenly fell ill and handed over the command. Isn't the intention obvious?

In the eyes of Chief of Staff Xiao Zhao, bursts of cold air emerged, and he said coldly: "Coward! Coward! Scum of the Imperial Navy!"
