Age of Rebirth

Chapter 830: Tsushima Island

From Haishanwei, after several air battles, the fleet sailing to the entrance of the Korean Strait will pass through the dangerous Tsushima Channel. As long as it passes through this dangerous waters, there will be a flat river in front of it, passing through the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea to Qingdao on the Shandong Peninsula. Naval Base.

Qiu Quan came to the captain's room. Colonel Magotrovsky and several Soviet fleet staff officers were lying on the large nautical chart, using a set square, ruler and compass to make gestures. Serious, with a hint of heaviness, it seems that they have not considered a safe solution.

The station of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, Haishanwei, is in the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific Fleet wants to enter the Pacific Ocean. The Tsushima Channel is the only way to go. Colonel Magotovsky has been in and out many times and knows this route very well. The complicated situation of the waterway, at that time, the fleet passed by during the day, and the Japanese were not in a state of war, so they could pass through with confidence.

Today's situation is quite different, the fleet will pass at night, and just finished a battle with the Japanese, the Japanese army on the island will not fail to get the news, just run out of a mine-laying boat and drop dozens of A mine, and a fleet without minesweepers at night will be blocked in the channel. After dawn, who knows what will happen?Anyway, the fleet is blocked in the Tsushima channel, which is a fixed target for passive attack. [

Qiu Quan just observed quietly behind a few Soviet troops, and did not disturb Colonel Magotrowski and the others. He didn't quite understand this chart, and felt that there was someone behind him, Magotrowski Turning around, I hurriedly stood at attention and saluted: "Report to Comrade Chief, we are studying the way to pass the Tsushima waterway, please give instructions!"

Originally, because Tang Yunfei's whereabouts were unknown, Qiuquan didn't know how Tang Qiuli felt after receiving his telegram. He was a little depressed and bored, but was amused by Colonel Magotrowski's words.

"Comrade Chief, please give me some instructions. This is the same as the Soviets. Besides, I am a layman at commanding the navy. I don't know anything about it. What instructions?" Qiu Quan secretly thought, he smiled back and asked. Said: "Is there a safe way?"

Colonel Magotovsky blushed slightly, and replied with a little embarrassment: "Not yet, we are studying it." He admired Qiuquan very much in his heart. According to Colonel Gottlowski, this young Chinese general gave him the respect he deserved.

It was not the false politeness on the surface, but the respect from the heart, which moved Magotovsky very much. He knew his identity, but he was only a prisoner of war. This kind of respect in personality gave him a soldier Moreover, this Chinese major general who has never commanded a fleet has amazing understanding, an absolutely calm mind and careful thinking and judgment.

After leaving Haishanwei, his somewhat dazed heart gradually settled down, and he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the important task of commanding the fleet. The trust Qiuquan gave him was unreserved. I gradually integrated into the new group.

Therefore, Colonel Magotovsky had to say his own suggestion, "Comrade Chief, my suggestion is that the fleet anchor here and wait for dawn to pass through the Tsushima channel. This is the safest way. Passing by the enemy-occupied islands is absolutely dangerous, and there are also natural factors.”

Qiu Quan believed that what Colonel Magotrovski said was correct, but the sooner the fleet left the Pacific Ocean, the safer it would be. He would not risk putting the fleet in a dangerous situation by ordering overnight If it passes, the fleet will not be allowed to stay in the Pacific Ocean for 1 minute longer.

Qiu Quan fell into deep thought. Colonel Magotlovsky and others looked at him expectantly. The staff sent a telegram, which was a reply from the division headquarters: "The fleet is not the captain of the Tang detachment. According to the original plan, the Japanese troops on Tsushima Strait overnight have been dispatched to solve the problem. Later, please receive the contact code to communicate with the troops occupying Tsushima. Attention, you can just accept it. , Master Tang Qiuli."

The most critical problem was solved, and Qiu Quan's heart suddenly became clear. Xiao Qiu had already thought of this. For this fleet, he worked hard, and the rest was to wait patiently.

Shan Hu led a security brigade of more than [-] people, took several motor sailboats, pretended to be merchant ships, set off from Qingdao, drifted on the sea for a few days, and arrived in the waters near Tsushima Island yesterday evening.

A few days of bumpy seas made the guard brigade and special guard soldiers, these tigers on land, all look like sick cats. When they arrived in the waters near Tsushima Island, there were several rocks for cover and concealment. Looking at the appearance of the soldiers, the tiger was secretly worried, so, can he still fight at night?

In fact, Shanhu himself was not feeling well, so he had no choice but to give an order to take the time to rest, which was not bad. These soldiers had a good foundation. After lying down for more than an hour, their physical strength and energy had almost recovered. When they heard that there was a combat mission at night, they Like a shot of stimulants, everyone regained their energy, and Shan Hu was very happy to see it.

At about eleven o'clock that night, the soldiers who had had a full meal regained their full energy and physical strength, Shanhu called several team leaders together for a meeting, and said in a low voice: "Is the task of each team clear? According to the plan, we landed at the western end of the island, and it should be noted that we are fighting a sneak attack this time, and no one is allowed to shoot unless it is absolutely necessary."

"After going to the island, develop in depth. The second team controls the little devil's warship, and the other teams are responsible for dealing with the little devil on the island. Let's show the boys in the special warfare detachment that they are more agile than them. Who Let us be the commander's guards? Do you think so?" In the darkness, the mountain tiger's eyes flashed coldly.

A few words stirred up everyone's emotions. Usually, it is one of the two most elite units of the Independent Division. It is secretly screaming, but the nature of the tasks is different. The jobs that show their faces are called special warfare detachments. It's done, it seems that the reputation of the security brigade is not as good as that of the special warfare detachment. This time, I have the opportunity. From the mountain tiger, the captains of each division to every soldier, they all put in their best efforts to do a beautiful job for the independent division Take a look at all the troops. If Tang Qiuli is present, he will definitely look at Shanhu with admiration. Staying in Nanjing for a while will be very rewarding, right?Learn to mobilize before the war.

Several motor sailboats turned off their machines, lowered their sails and paddled them manually, and slowly approached the west end of Tsushima Island. The sea breeze and the sound of waves covered up all the sounds. Waist-deep sea water moved towards the shore, and the island was quiet and pitch-black. If it weren’t for the dim starlight, the outlines of several buildings would make one almost suspect that this is an uninhabited desert island.

All the troops went ashore and hid behind several rocks. The mountain tiger made a gesture, and the figures of several soldiers disappeared into the darkness, as light as a civet cat. , so that Shanhu was a little surprised.

No Japanese sentries were found on the island, so it’s not surprising that the Japanese are willing. Since the Japanese Empire occupied Tsushima, there has not been a single war for decades. The place is as peaceful as a paradise, except for regular defense changes. Except for the troops and the occasional Russian warships passing by, there was nothing else to be seen, and the surrounding water was still sea water. [

No one came to disturb the peaceful days of these imperial soldiers. Apart from being a little boring, compared to the bloody Japanese battlefield, the Japanese soldiers who changed defense here felt like they were in heaven. Of course, there was no such thing as Hua Girl Life is tough, but it's better than losing your life on the battlefield, or losing arms and legs, it's a hundred times better.

The days of peace have passed for a long time, and the precautions are naturally relaxed. In the words of Hideo Saharada, the chief commander of the Marine Corps on the island: "The Japanese cannot come without warships, and the Russians dare not come. Who else would come?" Come? Unless the mermaid jumped ashore, that would be better, naval warriors of the empire, but it's been a long time since I've had any flowers!"

After this guy finished speaking, he laughed lewdly, causing the soldiers under him to laugh wildly and almost died. The life on the island is really boring. With a chief like Harada, daily life has added a lot of fun. It is said that Chief Harada is because he loves women too much She couldn't live without a woman for a day, she was so cowardly, and she was sent to this deserted island after touching her boss's darling.

The order stated that it was to strengthen the surveillance of the Russian warships. Tsushima had raised the specifications of the garrison troops, but it was impossible to allow a naval officer to serve as the supreme commander. The Japanese soldiers knew what was going on in their hearts. It's a distribution in disguise. It is estimated that Chief Harada will retire here.

Harada was full of resentment, and the life without a woman was really hard, so he didn't pay much attention to military affairs. With the commander like this, the soldiers below would naturally not be stupid and work hard. Who wouldn't be happy to be idle and send sentries? It's also symbolic, at night, when the sea breeze blows, it's bone-chillingly cold, so I won't suffer from this kind of leisure, and I've already gone back to the dormitory to sleep.

In this way, it brought great convenience to Shanhu and the others for their sneak attack tonight. After sending out several groups of reconnaissance teams to find out the situation on the island, Shanhu ordered in a low voice: "All teams follow the plan. , Start to act!" The silhouettes of groups of soldiers disappeared into the night and rushed towards their respective targets.

Shanhu led more than [-] soldiers along a small road on the island, and touched several buildings. According to the information of the intelligence office, this is the communication center of the Japanese army on the island. the only channel of communication.

Shanhu and the others followed the wall to the gate. The whole building was pitch black. Listening carefully, there were snoring sounds coming from the room. The little devil was sleeping soundly. Shanhu tried the door.

Shanhu stabbed a soldier next to him. The soldier stepped forward, took out a sharp dagger, and quickly pushed the door bolt aside. When he came out, before he could open the door, the door suddenly opened. Just as he was wondering, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

The Japanese soldier was stunned for a moment, and Shanhu was also stunned. For a moment, the two men stared at each other with small eyes.
