Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

The maiden battle of the torpedo boat

The Nanjing central "government" recognizes the rank of second general, four ranks of lieutenant general, dozens of ranks of major general...>

Facing this unexpected harvest, Li Guosheng's face was full of smiles.

In the eyes of Lao Jiang, the military rank may be just a false title.However, Li Guosheng, who is familiar with history, is very clear: this false title will definitely bring him great benefits in the future anti-Japanese battlefield.

There are still a few years before the full-scale outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, and he is already a second-level general recognized by the National Government.Then when the Anti-Japanese War breaks out in full swing, let’s not say too much, a first-level general who is second only to Lao Jiang will definitely not be able to escape... >

First-level generals, you must know that during the entire Anti-Japanese War, the national army generals who really reached this level can be counted with one hand.More importantly, the first-level general who is second only to Lao Jiang's special military rank can be called the word "shangguan" whether it is placed in the local "government" of the country or in the army of various places.

At that time, I can go to the enemy-occupied area, and as a first-level general, a "shangguan", justifiably occupy the territory, recruit troops, expand my strength, end the battle with the Japanese army as soon as possible, and save the Chinese nation. loss...>

Thinking of this, a look of anticipation and excitement immediately appeared on Li Guosheng's face.

"Chief of staff, this army of yours is good for General Jiang...>

"Commander-in-Chief, this old Jiang, no matter when he is, he will never forget his "stingy" problem. If it were me, I would definitely not meet this condition. Anyway, after some bargaining, I will ask Lao Jiang again There is absolutely no problem with some regular army establishments...>

Li Guosheng waved his hand with a smile, and said, "Forget it, Chief of Staff. To me, it is already an accident among accidents to exchange so many military ranks and 2000 million oceans from Lao Jiang for no reason. Forgot, we still have business to do. I think. Let's take this opportunity to finalize the strategy of attacking Liaodong... >

"The Commander-in-Chief is right. I was too greedy...>

Under the vast night, the No. 36 Torpedo Boat Squadron, No. [-], and No. [-] Gunboat Squadrons under the Ninth Army Naval Column, a total of [-] speedboats of various types, directly carried a total force of more than a thousand people. brigade.Under the cover of night, it quietly drove out of Qingdao Military Port and disappeared into the vast sea.

As the first military operation since the founding of the Navy, Navy Commander Sun Haijun.Although I want to go to the battlefield to command.However, due to specialization in the field of surgery, the final command of the entire naval battle was still handed over to Fang Shuyi, the captain of the speedboat brigade under the naval column.

Born in a naval family, his parents were veteran naval officers who had experienced the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], coupled with the influence of Li Guosheng's various modern combat ideas.Lieutenant Colonel Fang Shuyi, the captain of the speedboat brigade, has an understanding of various speedboat combat ideas.It has far surpassed Li Guosheng, a future man.As for the first naval battle that he was about to command, although it was just a sneak attack at sea.However, as the commander-in-chief, he is still full of expectations.

A formation of 36 speedboats of various types.Under the command of Fang Shuyi, they quickly drove to the target, which was the Dalian Lushun Military Port occupied by the Japanese army.

As time passed by every minute and every second, the distance between the entire naval formation and the Lushun military port was getting closer and closer.Fang Shuyi, the captain of the speedboat brigade, was standing on the deck of the gunboat, when the biting and fishy sea breeze was blowing.A burst of hurried footsteps came directly from the command cabin of the gunboat.

"Captain, according to the chart, the formation is less than an hour away from Lushun Naval Port. Preliminary estimates, at four o'clock in the morning, the formation can successfully arrive at Lushun Naval Port and launch an attack on the Japanese naval fleet staying at Lushun Naval Port. ...>

"Very good. Immediately send three speedboats to investigate the situation of the Japanese Navy at Lushun Military Port. Whether it is the same as the information provided by the intelligence department. If there is any change, report it by radio immediately. At the same time, the investigation team must be sent during the investigation Pay attention to concealment and do not expose the "target"! In addition, the entire formation is ordered to quickly deploy according to the predetermined attack formation, and prepare for the attack and landing...>

The three gunboats with long and narrow hulls and extremely fast speed quickly sailed out of the formation and disappeared on the sea where the Lushun military port is located.At the same time, the entire formation also began to adjust.

The first squadron of torpedo boats, with a total of 12 torpedo boats, spread out directly in a fan shape and were deployed in front of the entire formation.Prepare to use the 24 torpedoes that can be launched in the first round to deal a devastating blow to the Japanese Navy at Lushun Military Port.

Two gunboat squadrons, a total of 15 gunboats full of special forces, were scattered behind the torpedo boat formation, ready to land on the beach.The remaining two teams, that is, six gunboats, cruise directly around the formation and are responsible for vigilance.

More than 30 small ships under the naval formation formed an attack formation and slowly advanced towards the Lushun military port, ready to go.The three speedboats under the investigation team also promptly sent the latest situation about the Lushun military port.

"Captain, according to the caller ID of the reconnaissance team: the situation of the Japanese Navy in Lushun Military Port has not changed at all. It has a light old-fashioned cruiser, three destroyers, and dozens of gunboats...>

"Half an hour. It's enough time for our torpedo boat squadron to secretly approach the military port and "shoot" a total of 24 torpedoes in the first round...>

"Yes, Captain...>

The order was issued, and the 12 torpedo boats were directly like 12 sharp arrows.Riding the wind and breaking the waves, form a fan-shaped attack formation, with a distance of 50 meters from each other.Quickly galloped away in the direction of Lushun Military Port.

The follow-up naval ships commanded by Captain Fang Shuyi followed closely behind.While paying attention to the battlefield situation.While slowly pressing towards Lushun Military Port...>

Finally, under the tense gaze of more than a hundred officers and men of the No. [-] Squadron of torpedo boats, the faint lights of Lushun Military Port finally appeared in front of everyone.

As it got closer, the various lights exposed by the military port became brighter and more dazzling.Under the illumination of these lights, the Japanese naval formation, dozens of surface ships docked neatly at the military port wharf, were clearly displayed in front of these raiders.

An officer and soldier of the torpedo boat squadron full of expectations.Under the command of the captain, he rushed to his battle position quickly.The order of the squadron leader of the first torpedo boat squadron was transmitted directly to the ears of every captain through the radio...>

"Attention all officers and soldiers of the first squadron of torpedo boats, now I will assign specific combat tasks, assign specific combat tasks: the three torpedo boats No. 001,002,003, [-], and [-] of the first squadron are responsible for attacking Japanese cruisers... >

"The [-]st Squadron of the [-]st Squadron of Torpedo Boats understands...>

"Second team understands...>

"Very good. Here, let me remind everyone again. This attack is the first battle since the establishment of our naval column. Therefore, no matter what, we must win the final victory, guarantee the first hit, and give the commander-in-chief a satisfaction." The answer sheet. Our round of torpedo attack must make the Japanese naval fleet stationed in Lushun Naval Port completely lose its ability to counterattack...>

"Now I order that each torpedo boat quickly approach the attack target according to the assigned tasks, and determine the attack time by itself...>

"Boom boom...>

In the command cabin of the torpedo boat No. 001, the captain He Hui was holding up a telescope and staring at the Lushun military port that was getting closer and closer to him.After attacking the huge hull of the target cruiser, it finally appeared directly opposite him.He Hui's voice trembling with excitement suddenly sounded in the command cabin.

"Lookout, no interval of 50 meters, report an attack distance...>

"800 meters...>

The No. 001 torpedo boat was only 500 meters away from the enemy cruiser.The Japanese navy, which was patrolling in the military port, finally discovered a large number of unknown ships that were rapidly approaching the military port on the sea under the darkness of night.Suddenly, a loud siren began to echo over the military port.

Countless Japanese naval officers, hearing the sirens, swarmed out of the barracks and rushed towards their own ships.Most of the torpedo boats under the [-]st torpedo boat squadron have already penetrated into the optimal attack distance.

Captain He Hui, the captain of torpedo boat No. 001, took a deep breath of the sea-smelling air.With his trembling voice, he decisively ordered: "Torpedo launcher, launch all torpedoes immediately...>

"Boom...>

More than 20 torpedoes spewed out from the launch tubes, after waves of waves were stirred up on the sea surface.It is directly like whales swimming close to the sea surface.With a white wave behind him, he swam towards his goal from different directions.

After the 12 torpedo boats were launched, they drew a beautiful arc on the sea surface, turned and reinstalled torpedoes on the launch tubes.The eyes of the captains of the ships did not change with the direction of the ships.Holding up the binoculars, following the direction of the torpedo's swimming, he remained motionless, watching himself attack the target hundreds of meters away. [

one second.two seconds...>

Two violent explosions had just reached the ears of all torpedo boat captains on the battlefield.Group after group of orange fireballs began to soar from all over the military port.

The luckier Japanese warship was directly blasted with a huge gap by the torpedo.With a large amount of seawater, it continued to pour into the hull of the warship.The huge hull began to tilt slowly due to the continuous increase in its own weight.Eventually sank into the berth of the naval port.

The unlucky Japanese warship was very unfortunate to be hit by a torpedo in the ammunition depot or the ship's power compartment.The torpedo exploded, and while causing serious damage to the ship, it also detonated the ship's ammunition compartment or power compartment.A more powerful explosion rose from the deck of the ship.The ship hit by the torpedo turned into a huge fireball floating on the sea in just the blink of an eye...

The No. 001 boat where the captain of the first torpedo boat squadron is located.Although it also took on the attack task.However, as the captain of the squadron, he directly handed over the command to the captain and did not participate in the specific command.

therefore.During the first round of attack of the first torpedo boat squadron, the squadron leader was completely a bystander, paying attention to every move on the battlefield, and adjusted his squadron's latest attack target according to changes in the battlefield situation at any time.

When the Japanese naval fleet moored in Lushun Military Port exploded orange fireballs several meters high.The squadron leader has issued an order to quickly count the results of the attack.

Looking at the sudden attack, several ships were hit by torpedoes and were in danger, and the Lushun military port was completely in chaos.A cold smile appeared directly on the squadron leader's face.With a tone of venting his anger, he said to himself.

"Little devil, I didn't expect that you would also be beaten. Today, I will let you have a good taste of what it is like to be attacked by our Chinese navy... >

As soon as the words fell, the adjutant came out of the command room, and reported in an excited tone: "Squadron leader, the first round of attacks of my No. [-] Squadron completely achieved the intended target, and the first battle was a success."

"According to statistics, the Japanese Navy cruiser was hit by five torpedoes, the hull has been tilted, and it may be silent at any time...>

"According to observations, there are only 9 gunboats left in the entire Lushun Naval Port, where the Japanese Navy can still use surface ships...>

The first round of attack completely defeated the Japanese navy, and a hint of surprise quickly flashed across the squadron leader's face.Of course, the squadron leader was not overly happy about it.Because the remaining ships of the Japanese Navy are still like a sharp sword hanging above their heads, which may threaten the entire fleet at any time, especially the safety of a large number of special forces gunboats behind them.

After a short thought, he said in a deep voice.

"Nine gunboats... If the Japanese Navy fights desperately, these nine gunboats are definitely capable of causing very heavy losses to our naval squadron. Order, all torpedo boats that have loaded their bombs should turn around immediately and prepare to launch a second round of torpedo attacks , Destroy all the remaining torpedo boats of the Japanese Navy in the military port...>

"The second round of attack did not determine the target of the attack. Whoever enters the combat position first will launch the attack first... >

"Yes, Squadron Leader...>

In the second round of 24 torpedoes, although they were "shot" into the military port one after another, the density was not too high.However, to deal with the nine gunboats that have not yet been ignited and are in a stationary state within a short period of time, it is still more than rubbing their hands.

Dozens of torpedoes, almost a gunboat, in less than half a minute, in the entire military port, there is no longer a complete surface ship moored in the military port.

"Reporting to the captain, all the naval ships in Lushun Military Port have been attacked by our squadron and have completely lost their combat effectiveness...>

"Good fight, immediately report the victory to the captain behind... >

"Yes, Squadron Leader...>
