blood feud

Last year, that is, on October 1938, 10, the 12th and 18th Divisions of the Little Devils sailed from Magong Island in the Penghu Islands, and with the support of the Fifth Fleet's naval and air forces, they landed in Daya Bay, Guangdong Province.The next day, the little devil crazily bombed Huiyang, Guangdong. Three days later, Huiyang fell.

On the 19th, the little devils raided Zengcheng, and more than 2 Chinese defenders collapsed at the touch of a button.

On the 21st, Yu Hanmou's troops withdrew from Guangzhou.Guangzhou fell, and a fire broke out in the city.

The little devil occupied Guangzhou, cut off the connection between the Guangzhou-Kowloon and the Guangdong-Han railways, and captured the city of Conghua.

On the 22nd, 110 bombers from the Little Devils Naval Air Force and ships from the Fifth Fleet attacked the Humen Fortress in Guangdong Province.

On the 23rd, the Suzuki Unit of the Third Special Marine Corps of the Little Devils and the Sakamoto Detachment of the Fifth Infantry Division of the No. Sanshui and other places fell.

The over 10 so-called Cantonese troops who were raped by Jiang, basically fled without a fight under the "command" of Yu Hanmou.The little devil occupied key places such as Guangzhou and Humen in just [-] days.

The common people paid food and money to feed the Cantonese army for decades, but in the end they still fled without a fight!

In the urban area of ​​Guangzhou alone, more than 3 people were massacred by the little devils!It really can be regarded as "the blood is flowing, and the corpses are piled up like a mountain!"

After half a year of painstaking efforts, the little devil has effectively controlled the coast of Guangdong, and the Taiwan Strait has almost been blocked.

As the commander of this secret operation, Deputy Captain Lu Yunlong is also commanding a submarine force for the first time.Some limited common sense of naval warfare, in addition to learning some in German classrooms, and then Bai Shujie's eight-character policy of "avoid hard top, flexible and maneuverable".

After crossing Jeju Island and arriving at the sea to the east of Dachen Island, there was nothing wrong on the way, and no enemy situation was found.

On the second day of departure, that is, around six o'clock in the evening on May 1939, 5, the fleet arrived in the southeast waters of the Nanri Islands.At ten o'clock in the evening, the fleet came to the waters 22 kilometers southeast of Kinmen Island.

This section of sea area is what Lu Yunlong is most worried about, because to the north is Kinmen Island, where the Little Devils Fifth Fleet is stationed; to the south is the Penghu Islands, the sea surface warning area of ​​the Little Devils Taiwan Army, with a width of only 140 kilometers in the middle.Now that the fleet is passing through the middle, it is already in a situation where the enemy is attacking from both sides.

此次出来的潜艇编队，分辨是白鲨1号、白鲨2号、白鲨3号、暗影1号、暗影2号。白鲨级潜艇，就是小鬼子的伊6型；暗影级潜艇，就是英国p级潜艇。

Among them, the shadow 1 and 2 boats with a slightly lower displacement formed a double arrow to open the way, and the three white shark submarines formed a triangle formation behind them.

Lu Yunlong's flagship this time is White Shark No. 1 boat.He sat in front of the radar and sonar consoles, staring at the two scanning screens, for fear of missing any clues.

The wireless walkie-talkie rang right at this moment, and the captain of Shadow No. 1 boat, who was officially serving as the vanguard: "White Shark No. 1: A high-speed ship appeared at one o'clock, with a speed of 27 knots and a distance of 50 kilometers!"

"Signaler: Order the freighter to turn off the direction lights and slow down immediately!" Lu Yunlong was refreshed when he heard this: "Stop the shadow immediately and prepare to dive! Use the periscope combined with the sonar to observe the enemy's movements. Now the night vision is not good, and it is difficult for the enemy to find the periscope , remember not to fire first."

"White Shark 2 and 3 advance at full speed, keep 5 kilometers away from each other, stop at the same time 50 kilometers away from the enemy, then dive, and prepare to fight! White Shark 1, let us immediately pass the fleet to prevent the enemy from rushing over!"

暗影1号和2号艇已经停车下潜，消失在海面上。白鲨2号、3号艇接到命令立即提速，从27节直接拉到了36节的速度向前冲去。

"White Shark No. 1: The enemy ship has been found! According to the comparison of the Japanese warship organization table issued by the headquarters, it is the Wakaba of the Ruazhu-class destroyer. The full load displacement is 1100 tons, and the speed is 35.5 knots. The speed of this thing is not bad. , the others are not worth mentioning, if a torpedo is sent into the bottom of the sea, will it be hit or not?"

Lu Yunlong pondered for a while, then said loudly: "Don't worry, just watch their movements. Our mission is to escort, this time the main purpose is not to fight! If it wants to kill itself and finds our fleet rushing over, it will shoot sink it!"

Things always go wrong.

It is said that the radar technology of the little devils is too bad, but they have a very good place, that is, the ship observers!

Although it cannot be called "clairvoyance", they use high-powered telescopes and optical rangefinders, which is considered a must.

These observers are trained under extremely cruel conditions, and they also have extraordinary abilities.Moreover, the little devil's navy has been developing for a long time, and it has not been attacked during this period, so they are all elite soldiers with rich combat experience.

Lu Yunlong was already remembering Bai Shujie's order to avoid conflicts as much as possible, but the 5 large cargo ships lay across the sea, and even though the lights were turned off, the reflection of the sea was dark, and they still couldn't escape.

It turned out that the destroyer Wakaba was cruising along the coast of Guangdong during the day, and now it was supposed to return to Magong Island to refuel.Unexpectedly, the observers suddenly found a large area of ​​darkness in the east, and immediately reported it to the captain.

Since the occupation of Guangzhou, the Taiwan Strait has become a fish pond for little devils, and it has not been threatened at all.Isn't it weird that outsiders suddenly appear in your own fish pond?

Especially a fleet that does not dare to turn on its lights, it shows that it is a guilty conscience.The captain of the little devil suddenly understood in his heart: that must not be regarded as a friend of the empire!

Who is this captain?That's really not a small background: the commander of the No. 20 Destroyer Squadron of the Little Devil's Fifth Fleet, Lieutenant Shimizu Lifu!

According to the regulations of the Little Devils Naval Command, every dispatch must make both ships act at the same time.

But something happened today, and Lieutenant Shimizu thought that he was just going home to refuel, and went to the Magong Island Soldiers Club to enjoy the services of an imperial geisha. There was no need to arrange another warship to accompany him.

"Delusion to escape the imperial navy's interrogation shows that there is a big problem with this fleet!" Colonel Shimizu Lifu immediately ordered: "Move forward, go and have a look!"

This just corresponds to Lu Yunlong's words: If you don't go to heaven, there is no way to hell.Purely looking for death, even the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu can't save me!

The destroyer Wakaba had just adjusted its course, but the Shadow 1 boat did not continue to ask for instructions at all, and a high-speed torpedo had already slipped out of the submarine!

Because now is an opportunity that cannot be missed, and it will never come again!

As soon as the little devil adjusted the course, he didn't raise the power, and just pointed his ribs at the Shadow 10 boat that was ambushing 1 kilometers away.If you don't fight now, you will be sorry for the conscience of heaven and earth, to be honest!

This is a high-speed torpedo driven by the first generation of brushless motors developed by Bai Shujie and the research institute, with a speed of 58 knots and a range of 76 kilometers!The bomb diameter is 533mm, the bomb weighs 1.48 tons, the charge is 965 kg, and the standard fixed depth is 2.4 meters.

Because there is no gas power, this torpedo will not draw a white line on the water surface during its rapid voyage, it is purely a sinister big black fish.

时速58节，就是时速108公里。现在追赶10公里以外的目标，需要6分钟时间。所以暗影1号艇瞄准敌舰舰艏3公里的位置，射出了这枚鱼雷。

Because they didn't say hello to each other, this means that the coordination of the novice in the war has not been mastered.To lay an ambush at such a short distance, a torpedo is enough for a small thing with a full load displacement of 1100 tons.

However, Shadow 2, who was ambushing on the other side, also thought that this opportunity was rare, and also fired a torpedo.However, the Shadow 2 boat was much closer, less than 3 kilometers away from the enemy ship, so they aimed directly at the bow of the enemy ship and fired torpedoes.

In less than 2 minutes, there was an earth-shattering explosion on the sea in the middle of the night: Boom!

Bai Shujie's high-energy, high-speed, high-explosive torpedo hit the first shot and directly blasted the enemy ship into two quarters!

Immediately, the engine room, fuel tank, and ammunition compartment on the enemy ship exploded, and a large fireball appeared on the sea surface. All kinds of fragments were flying all over the sky in the fire.

It's a pity that the Shadow 1 boat wasted a torpedo in vain, that is, $1 was thrown into the sea for nothing!

On the White Shark No. 1 boat in the back, the commander Lu Yunlong was dumbfounded: these bastards fired directly to sink the enemy ship without asking for instructions, what a fucking fool!

Now is not the time to pursue responsibility, and Lu Yunlong is not in the mood to pursue responsibility: "Signaler, order the fleet to move forward at full speed, and leave this ghost place quickly! Shadow 1 and 2 boats will sail at full speed as originally planned, and White Shark 2 Boats No. 3 and No. [-] will follow up, pay attention to the left and right wings!"

In less than 25 minutes, the White Shark No. 1 boat, which was advancing at full speed, had already arrived at the "scene of the incident" sea area, and the observer immediately shouted: "Look, Captain, there are little devils on the sea!"

Lu Yunlong waved his hand: "What the hell, just order the tail machine gunner to kill them, so as not to expose our whereabouts!"

There was nothing to say all night, and when the sky brightened, the fleet had already appeared in the waters 120 kilometers south of Hong Kong.Because of the limited level of detection equipment at this time, the British Garrison in Hong Kong did not come out to cause trouble.

However, at noon that day, Lu Yunlong received a telegram that it was the European fleet that he wanted to meet!

They had already received orders from Commander-in-Chief Bai Shujie and did not move forward.Now it is docked at Wan'an Beach on Wan'an Island, the westernmost of the Nansha Islands, waiting for the escort formation to welcome it.

The implication in the telegram is that a British patrol boat from Bandar Seri Begawan to the south is coming.He seemed lukewarm, with weird expressions, and of course there was no armed conflict yet.The British meant to let the fleet, especially the three warships, leave quickly.

Lu Yunlong made gestures on the sea chart. It turns out that the fleet is still at the southernmost tip of the Vietnamese peninsula, with a distance of more than 1000 nautical miles, and it will take at least a month to rendezvous.

In order to save time, Lu Yunlong sent a telegram to the fleet leader, that is, his immediate boss, future partner, and captain of the submarine brigade, Gao Shengkui, asking them to organize people to go to the coastal areas of Myanmar and Vietnam to start purchasing related items. .This will ensure that the follow-up plan fully achieves its goals without delay.

In addition, Lu Yunlong emphasized in the telegram: According to the spirit of Commander-in-Chief Bai Shujie's instructions, if the British dared to use force, and in accordance with the spirit of the European Office's public statement, they would declare war on China on behalf of the United Kingdom.It's really going to be that time, just hit it, if something goes wrong, the commander-in-chief Bai Shujie will take care of it!

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
