Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

On the vast sea completely covered by night, several ships flying the national flag of the Republic of China, like ghosts in the night, slowly approached a few kilometers away under the effect of inertia, a brightly lit North Korean military dock.

Although the Japanese navy suffered many losses in front of the Ninth Army's naval fleet, the news of these defeats was not fully publicized because of the deliberate concealment by the Japanese Navy Department.Therefore, the Japanese naval forces stationed in major military ports in North Korea are still full of contempt and contempt for the Chinese navy because they are not valued domestically...

As a rare large military port in North Korea connected to the mainland of Japan, according to naval regulations, several ships must be dispatched for night patrols every night to ensure the safety of the entire port.

However, with the passage of time, coupled with the contempt of the Chinese navy by the local garrisons, they think that the imperial navy will never be attacked in Asia and other reasons.The Japanese navy stationed in the military port not only did not follow the combat regulations, but sent even a single ship to patrol and guard at night.Not even the most basic port guard post...

Such a good opportunity, coupled with the cover of night, of course, the First Mining Squadron under the Ninth Army will not let it go.Several ships approached until five kilometers away from the military port, but they still did not attract the attention of the Japanese army at the military port. [

Soon, several mine-laying ships filled with magnetic mines, with a slight roar of starting, slowly left the transport ship, and began to lay mines in all the waterways leading to the dock...

Two thousand sea mines blocked the four military docks, and on average, five hundred sea mines were deployed at each dock.

In addition, the military port is directly ahead.The frontal width of the deep water channel, which can be used by large warships, is less than one kilometer at full capacity.Five hundred mines are in the hands of the navy officers and men.Directly at the entrance and exit of the wharf, a frontal width of 800 meters is arranged.A huge minefield with a depth of 500 meters...

The entire mine-laying squadron, because of the contempt of the Japanese garrison at the naval port, can be said to have come and left quietly without attracting anyone's attention.

Coupled with the magnetic mines deployed by Jianduo, all of them are facing large naval ships of more than [-] tons.After dawn the next day, the little devil gunboats stationed in the military port, even gunboats with thousands of tons, entered and left the military port back and forth.However, not even a torpedo was detonated, let alone the discovery of the entrance and exit of the military port, the minefield that had been prepared for the escort fleet.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, under the eager waiting of Navy Commander Sun Haijun.The large fleet loaded with three full field divisions of the Japanese Army finally left the Japanese naval port and began to advance towards North Korea.

One medium-sized aircraft carrier, three battleships, and four heavy cruisers.Eight destroyers…

Although it is only one-third of the strength of the Japanese navy.However, it is this one-third of the strength that can already be called the well-deserved boss of the entire Asian naval power.

therefore.The entire fleet is like a giant on the sea, sailing towards North Korea in a mighty way...>

Vice Admiral Otani of the Japanese Navy.Because of his special preference for battleships, he serves as the supreme commander of the escort fleet.Did not set up the headquarters on the aircraft carrier.Instead, it was set up on the battleship 'King Kong' which is of great significance in the history of the Japanese Navy.

The battleship 'King Kong' with a total displacement of [-] tons.Because of its long-term endurance and powerful firepower, it has always occupied a very important position in the Japanese Navy.

As the flagship of this escort fleet, the battleship King Kong deservedly sailed at the forefront of the entire fleet.Just like the blade of the entire fleet, it cleaves the waves on the sea and advances towards the target with an unstoppable momentum.

Because of the huge displacement of the battleship, the entire warship is very stable during navigation, and is hardly affected by wind and waves.Under such circumstances, Lieutenant General Otani, the commander-in-chief of the escort fleet, was standing calmly in front of a huge chart, listening to the adjutant's introduction of the current fleet location...

"That is to say, in another two hours, the entire fleet can arrive at the scheduled seaport..." Lieutenant General Da Gu asked calmly, pointing at the chart.

"Hai, Your Excellency Commander... According to the current speed of our fleet, the target military port will appear in front of us within two hours at most..." the adjutant replied.

If it is placed on other people, it is definitely something worth celebrating to successfully complete the escort mission.However, for the 'militant' Lieutenant General Otani, this result is undoubtedly the last thing she wants to see.

As a veteran senior general of the Imperial Navy, a small escort mission, no matter from which aspect, does not require him to go out in person.However, Lieutenant General Otani took the initiative to ask for the post of commander of the escort fleet, using his own knife to kill chickens.

Its ultimate goal is to use the three army divisions it escorts as bait to attract the Chinese fleet.Then, through a naval battle, get to know the Chinese fleet that has caused damage to the Imperial Navy many times, and eat it to show your strength to the Imperial Navy.

Although the idea is good, from the current point of view, it is obviously impossible to realize this idea. [

There are only two hours of voyage left, which means that the straight-line distance between the fleet and the military port is about [-] kilometers.And the distance of [-] kilometers means that the army aviation may provide air cover for the escort fleet at any time.

Lieutenant General Otani believes that as long as the Chinese naval fleet commander has a little commanding mind, he will not choose to launch an attack at this moment.Because, attacking yourself at this time is almost the same as sending yourself to death.

The expected battle didn't happen, Lieutenant General Otani's face was immediately covered by a frustrated expression.Facing the adjutant in front of him, he decisively ordered: "Immediately send a telegram to the imperial fleet at the pier, asking the other party to prepare for the fleet to dock. Order the entire escort fleet to continue to maintain vigilance, and the speed of the three destroyers in the vanguard remains unchanged. After arriving at the military port , Immediately clear all sources of danger within ten kilometers around the military port, and ensure that the fleet docks smoothly..."

"Romper...>

The three small-tonnage destroyers, about one kilometer away from the main fleet, are distributed in the form of finished products, at the highest speed.Cutting through the waves, he quickly approached the military port.

tens of kilometers away.For a destroyer known for its speed, it is definitely a piece of cake.

soon.The brightly lit military port appears in the eyes of warship watchmen.

A little devil officer quickly walked into the command cabin of the warship, and reported to the captain who carried the rank of Major on his shoulders: "Report to your Excellency, the watchman reports, we are still ten kilometers away from the military port..."

"Very well, the journey is unimpeded. It seems that the entire escort mission is smoother than we imagined...>

Then, facing the adjutant with the same happy face, he ordered decisively: "Order the ships to slow down the speed... The three ships quickly spread out and approached the military port..."

"Romper...>

"Hangangang..."

A long whistle sounded in the vast sea, and the two destroyers immediately followed with the same whistle sound in response.subsequently.The three warships in the finished glyph division quickly changed their formation and lined up on the sea.Then, along the fairway.Slowly sail towards the pier to clear possible dangers in the channel for the follow-up escort fleet.

Eight kilometers...seven kilometers...>

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the brightly lit military port.It also began to faintly appear in Captain Major's eyes.Facing the dangerous military pier that is already close at hand, it is almost impossible to appear.Captain Major standing in the command cabin.Just when I was about to put down the binoculars and take a good rest.An accident happened.

A destroyer moving slowly is like hitting a hidden reef.The entire hull trembled violently.Immediately afterwards, a deafening explosion sounded from the bottom of the warship.

In the face of the sudden attack, the major captain who was relaxed and not vigilant.Because of the violent shaking of the warship's hull, he was caught off guard and fell directly into the cabin.

"Captain be careful...>

Captain Major, whose face suddenly turned pale, was confident that there would be absolutely no hidden reefs in the naval port channel occupied by the Imperial Navy.Since it wasn't a hidden reef, the loud noise just now could only mean one thing, and that was that his warship was attacked.

As soon as this idea came to Captain Major's mind, the adjutant, who had just left, rushed into the command cabin with a pale face.Facing the suspicious gaze cast on him by the officer, the adjutant hurriedly replied, his words were full of despair.

"Your Excellency, we have been attacked by unknown explosives...>

Captain Shao Zuo's pale face was immediately shrouded in despair, and he asked back with a face full of disappointment: "The warship is about to be silent when it is under attack, how is it possible...>

"Your Excellency, please abandon the ship and transfer immediately..." the adjutant did not flinch, but still said firmly.

And at this moment, hundreds of tons of seawater poured into the bottom cabin of the warship.The entire warship finally showed obvious signs of sinking.Because the warship was shot at the rear of the middle of the hull, the large amount of seawater that kept pouring in was almost all concentrated at the rear of the warship.

Hundreds of tons of seawater will definitely have a fatal impact on a destroyer with a displacement of only more than 1 tons.As the front of the warship became more and more light, the bow of the warship began to tilt slightly in just one minute...

"How did this happen? Who can tell me what kind of attack our warship was under..." Captain Shao Zuo also slowly showed a frightened expression on his face.Facing the adjutant in front of him, he asked involuntarily.

And at this moment, the adjutant standing in front of him had no time to answer this question.Regardless of Captain Major's objection, he directly ordered the guards to set up Captain Major, and walked to the deck...

Because the entire warship sank too quickly, only less than a hundred naval officers and soldiers above the deck boarded the lifeboats and survived by luck.

The naval officers and soldiers headed by Captain Major sat in the lifeboat, staring dumbfounded at the distance, and the destroyer had already begun to sink slowly.Two sudden explosions once again attracted everyone's attention.

Line up, two destroyers distributed on both wings.I just witnessed the scene where my fellow destroyer was attacked and sank to the bottom of the sea, and there were two deafening explosions.Right after, it sounded on them.

The entire bow of a warship.It was directly blown up, and the big gap was like a bloody mouth, constantly swallowing a lot of seawater.In the end, it was also buried at the bottom of the sea due to the influx of sea water.

The last destroyer, unfortunately, the mine exploded just at the location of the warship's ammunition depot.The huge explosion sound quickly detonated the gunpowder stored in the ammunition depot by the Japanese army.Ever since, amidst the explosion of countless ammunition.The entire destroyer was directly blown off by the horizontal waist, and buried in the bottom of the sea...

In the command cabin of the "King Kong" battleship, the commander of the fleet, Lieutenant General Otani, was staring at the major officer who bowed his head and said nothing, with a pair of eyes that could almost eat people.And this major officer was the only major captain who escaped his life in the vanguard squadron of the Japanese escort fleet.

"Baga, as the captain of the Imperial Japanese Navy. What are you doing? The warship has been buried in the bottom of the sea, and you don't even know what kind of attack it was. Bage Yalu, what's the use of the empire raising you trash..." Looking at Captain Major in front of him.The gloomy Lieutenant General Otani scolded without any scruples.

And at this moment, the chief of staff of the fleet.hurried in.Facing Lieutenant Admiral Otani, who was still full of anger, he said, "Your Excellency, Commander. After asking the naval officers and soldiers who escaped the catastrophe, they were said to be [-]% sure. The three destroyers in charge of attacking the vanguard were attacked by unknown mines... "

"Mine, how is it possible..." The first thing Lieutenant General Otani showed was inconceivable.

Facing the chief of staff in front of him, he asked back: "Chief of staff, this is a military port controlled by our Empire of Japan. How could there be mines? If there were mines, why wouldn't the military port garrison report to us..."

The chief of staff shook his head, and replied with a firm face: "Your Excellency, I don't know why there are mines in the waterway. However, from the analysis of everyone's memories, it is certain that the three destroyers were attacked by mines..."

And at this moment, Lieutenant General Otani suddenly thought of a Chinese naval fleet that he was looking forward to along the way.

Could it be that his opponent, the Chinese naval fleet, intends to block the port through the mines densely covered outside the port.To block the entire escort fleet from the port and prevent the troops from landing, Lieutenant General Otani thought to himself...

However, this thought just flashed through my mind.A sneer of disdain appeared on the lieutenant general's face.

I secretly thought in my heart: Just relying on these mines to block the powerful naval fleet of the empire, the Chinese navy also underestimated the strength of the imperial Japanese navy.

Then, facing the gaze of the chief of staff looking at him, he ordered decisively: "Since it has been confirmed that the port is blocked by mines, why are you still doing nothing? Order the minesweeper to attack immediately and quickly clear all the mines in the port..."

The order was issued, and the three minesweepers stationed at the military port quickly started to move.

However, what disappointed Lieutenant General Otani was that the three minesweepers had not seen a single mine even after tossing back and forth in the channel for an hour.

It is an indisputable fact that the mine-sweeping team returned without success, and the three destroyers were buried under an unknown attack.Faced with this contradictory result, Lieutenant General Otani's face was immediately shrouded in a deep gloom.

However, no matter what, he was very convinced of the strength of the mine-sweeping team.Aggrieved to be aggrieved, after a short period of contemplation, he ordered decisively: "Chief of Staff, immediately dispatch a cruiser and two destroyers from the escort fleet, pass the channel first, and enter the military port..."

"Romper...>

Under the watchful eyes of Lieutenant Admiral Otani, three ships of different sizes slowly left the formation.Then, they lined up right in front of the formation, and slowly drove towards the direction of the dock along the military port channel.

In a blink of an eye, the three ships had bypassed the sunken positions of the three destroyers and were further approaching the military port.

However, at this moment, several consecutive deafening explosions sounded on the sea again.

The larger cruiser was attacked by two magnetic mines at the same time, and the destroyers on both sides were attacked by a magnetic mine each.

In addition, these mines have a certain delayed explosion function, and the location where they hit the hull is either in the center of the warship, or the munitions warehouse at the stern of the ship that stores ammunition...

Four mines with a charge of more than [-] kilograms exploded at the same time, and the power they produced was enough to destroy any wild surface ship in the world today.The final result was no surprise. After a brief struggle on the sea surface, the three ships all died on the bottom of the sea.

At this moment, even if there is no torpedo in the channel leading to the port.However, the channel with a width of less than a kilometer was directly and completely blocked because six ships died on the seabed one after another.

"Baga, cunning Chinese...>

A few minutes later, facing the completely blocked waterway, Lieutenant General Otani, who was full of anger, had no choice but to order with an aggrieved face: "I don't believe that the Chinese navy can block all the military ports in North Korea. Order the fleet, immediately Set off and go to the next military port. In addition, tell the garrison at the port that I will give him two hours. After two hours, we must investigate clearly why our warship was attacked and buried in the bottom of the sea. Otherwise, the garrison All officers above the minor rank and above will be dealt with by military law..." (To be continued.)
