"When we launched the Pacific War, we were also backward in terms of scientific and technological achievements, and we have always been in a backward state, the most obvious and prominent example of which is our lack of radar. For example, a few months before they left for Hawaii, the battleships Azuchi and Taoshan were equipped with radars. Before the Pacific War, the naval authorities strongly advocated installing radars on our aircraft carriers, but because of the poor electronic technology provided in the end, all they provided were experimental prototypes, and they were not for aircraft carriers. If we advance by six months in the development of the radar, then for this decisive battle, an extremely valuable advantage will be provided. The radar was able to penetrate the fog that was hindering the advance of Nagumo's forces and Chief Yamamoto and approaching the battlefield. More importantly, the radar can detect enemy reconnaissance planes and detect their positions in time, so that our fighters can annihilate enemy planes before they report our position to the enemy fleet. Radar can also give early warning of enemy aircraft attacking our aircraft carriers. Moreover, if our reconnaissance aircraft are equipped with radar, they will be able to detect the enemy's fleet much earlier than visual observation. ”

"A key component of the radar is the directional antenna. This antenna was first made by Dr. Shuji Yagi, a professor at Honmoto University. In 1932, Yagi published his invention in Japan. Soon after, he visited China and the United States, and several magazines of China and the United States also published his inventions. The troops who attacked Pearl Harbor found that the electronic equipment of the Mi army there used Yagi antennas, but this was only a matter of pride for them. Britain, the United States, and China have all taken advantage of this invention and developed it for their own use, but Ben himself has not done so. ”

"It should be pointed out that the original surname of the people is not suitable for mass production. People are happy to engage in handicrafts rather than assembly operations. Just as in the training of pilots, the construction of ships, many important issues concerning warfare, and the development of science and technology, he found himself backward from the very beginning, and the more time passed, the greater the gap. Of course, there are exceptions, such as the oxygen torpedo of the Ben, which is beyond the reach of the Shina and American torpedoes. In addition, the surname of the 'Gale' fighter was indeed better than any aircraft used in the Pacific Ocean, but it was soon surpassed by the new product of China. The optical instruments of this book are prestigious. There is no problem that the high quality of the night telescopes used by our warships is one of the important factors that make our night operations successful, but night telescopes are not as good as radar after all. ”

"From the war in Hawaii to the present, he has won a series of great victories, which has surprised him as much as any other country. Its initial fears of war quickly vanished. As they continued to advance, the people of the country and the soldiers at the front were ecstatic, and it was not long before they ceased to pay attention to the enemy's ability to fight and resist. Under these circumstances, he developed an arrogant attitude of contempt for the enemy. By the time of the Battle of the Dragon Triangle, this level of psychological arrogance had reached the point where the thoughts and actions of the officers and men of the combat units had penetrated. This kind of excessive conceit is aptly called 'victory mania,' and its poison is so widespread that it exists at all levels of personnel who plan and execute the Dragon Delta operation. ”

"Until the air raid on Tokyo, the war was smooth sailing for him. Those who draw up battle plans do so entirely on the basis of imagining what the enemy might do, not what the enemy might do or is capable of doing. Conducting a decisive battle of the fleet is the goal pursued by our side, and the way to achieve this goal is to attack the enemy's vital points. However, in this scenario, we do not see that the enemy's actions may be different from what we expect. It's not just the Combined Fleet that's so blind; A spokesman for the Military Command Department also declared at a joint meeting of the Army and Navy: "In this operation, our greatest concern is that the enemy is unwilling to engage our fleet and to come out of the base to fight. ’”

"This kind of arrogance, underestimation of the enemy, is no longer wrong. The enemy is not only unwilling to come out to meet the battle, but also is desperate and prepared. We have wishful thinking that we can take our enemies by surprise because we are satisfied that our plans will not be leaked. However, this is not the case. ”

"The dispersion of our forces is yet another sign of hubris. The forces were dispersed because we were fully confident that our forces would be easily concentrated if the enemy had been lured out by us and the situation so requires. However, the inability of the forces that had been dispersed after the battle to be concentrated for an effective battle fully proved the absurdity of this plan. ”

"Our junior officers and soldiers are no less victorious than our commanders, but the effects are not so severe and the consequences are not so far-reaching, but the symptoms are obvious. In the final analysis, not only in the Battle of the Dragon Delta, but also in the entire war, the root of the defeat of the Sayben was deeply embedded in the national surname of the Sayben. Our citizens have a surname that is contrary to reason and impulsive, so they act aimlessly and often contradict themselves. The tradition of local ideas has left us narrow-minded, stubborn, and conservative, and reluctant to adopt reforms that are necessary even if they are necessary. We are indecisive, so we tend to fall into arrogance, which in turn makes us look down on others. We are opportunistic, lack boldness and readiness, and are accustomed to relying on others and flattering our superiors. Because of our lack of rationality, we tend to confuse aspirations with reality, and we act without careful planning. It is only when a hasty action fails that we consider it rationally, and even if we do, we often look for excuses for failure. In short, as a people, our minds are not mature enough to adapt to them, so we do not know when and what sacrifices to make in order to achieve our main purpose. These are the weaknesses of the national surname. The cause of Ben's misfortune lies in these weaknesses. ”

After a short time, the battlefleet and the aircraft carrier squadron rendezvous, and after learning the results of the aircraft carrier squadron's sinking of two large Chinese aircraft carriers, Kato Yanyu's heart felt a little calmer.

Keelung Port, Taiwan.

When the battleship "Fuxi," which was riddled with bullets, slowly sailed into the harbor under the towing of the tugboat, the onlookers on the shore burst into cheers.

The news of this unprecedented sea battle has spread all over the world at this time.

"Why did you hurt so badly?" Marshal Xu Yuanjin looked at the face of the "Fuxi" ship where the smoke of gunpowder had not completely dissipated, and asked in surprise.

"My super battleship seems to be more powerful than we know." Vice Admiral Xu Shifang, commander of the Keelung Port Base, said, "The cruelty of this battle is unimaginable! ”

Yang Shuoming stared at the Chinese super battleship in front of him, and the light in his eyes flashed again.

The three main turrets of the "Fuxi" have been severely damaged, the hull is also damaged in many places, the huge holes in the deck that have been opened are still smoking, and twisted steel beams and iron parts can be seen everywhere. At the moment when the giant ship had just stopped, the workers of the brigade boarded the battleship and began to get busy in an orderly manner.

"Are the loss statistics up?" Yang Shuoming asked.

"Here." Xu Shifang handed over a report to Yang Shuoming, "The battleships were seriously damaged, but none of them sank, and the aircraft carriers suffered relatively large losses, with a total of 7 losses, including two large aircraft carriers, 'Jiaolong' and 'Panlong', and the rest were light aircraft carriers and auxiliary aircraft carriers, with a total loss of 165 aircraft." Another 4 light cruisers and 8 destroyers were sunk. ”

"What about my own losses?" Xu Yuanjin asked.

"It has been determined to sink two large aircraft carriers, four light aircraft carriers, one battleship and five heavy cruisers (the Chinese side does not know that any ships were destroyed in the storm), as well as eleven light ships of various types." Xu Shifang said, "There are still some results that need time to confirm. ”

"That said, the losses are actually about the same." After reading the report, Yang Shuoming nodded, "The 'big victory' mentioned in the newspaper is actually a bit exaggerated. ”

"In terms of the results alone, it can be called a great victory, because since the country has owned the navy, there has never been a battle with such brilliant results." Xu Shifang said, "But for the whole war, it is not a 'decisive battle'. ”

"But in any case, this is also a real main battle." Yang Shuoming had in his mind the scene when the "Fuxi" was fighting with the ship at sea, "It's just a battle of big ships and huge cannons like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to appear again in the future." ”

"Yes! Since the advent of airplanes and aircraft carriers, the way of naval warfare has been very different. Xu Yuanjin also sighed, "It seems that we have to hurry up and build more planes and aircraft carriers." ”

After listening to Xu Yuanjin's words, everyone agreed. At this time, the battlefleet had finished entering the port, and the aircraft carriers began to enter the port, and Xu Yuanjin saw that many aircraft carriers were also smoking, and some of them had damaged planes, and his face couldn't help but show anxiety.

Yang Shuoming knew that Xu Yuanjin was worried about the safety of his sons in HNA. He thought of his youngest daughter in the strategic bomber unit, and his heart was also very worried.

A light aircraft carrier slowly drove into the harbor, and unlike the planes on other aircraft carriers, the planes on this aircraft carrier were all large delta wing planes without propellers.

"What kind of plane is this?" Xu Yuanjin asked with some surprise.

"This is a 'Crow' jet combat interceptor, which has just been delivered to the Navy, and this time it will go to sea with the ship to fight mainly to test its combat effectiveness." Xu Shifang said, "According to the pilots who flew over it, the surname is good, the speed is fast and the firepower is fierce, but the fuel consumption is large, the legs are short, and it is more dangerous to take off and land on the ship." ”

"I heard that this kind of plane has contributed a lot this time, and many reconnaissance planes have come across it without coming back." A naval staff officer said on the sidelines, "This time there were losses in all kinds of fighters in the naval battle, but it was the only one that did not lose a single one. ”

"Looks like it's necessary to buy some more, hehe." Xu Shifang laughed.

While several people were talking, an official in a black suit suddenly walked over quickly and handed Yang Shuoming a small note.

Yang Shuoming opened the note and looked at it, and his face couldn't help but change.

"What's wrong? Hanzhi? Xu Yuanjin noticed the change in the expression on Yang Shuoming's face and immediately asked.

"I need to go back right now." Yang Shuoming's eyes fell on a "Crow" jet fighter on the aircraft carrier, "Prepare a plane of that kind for me, right away." ”

"You want to fly this kind of plane back to the capital?" Xu Yuanjin was taken aback, "You're not kidding, are you?" ”

"Do you think I'm joking?" Yang Shuoming glanced at Xu Yuanjin, turned his head and said to Xu Shifang, "Arrange it immediately, I'll leave in a while." As he spoke, he pulled out a piece of letterhead with the golden tiger head shield emblem on it and began to write instructions on it.

Xu Yuanjin and everyone looked at each other, and somehow they all had an ominous premonition in their hearts.

At night, the moon emerges from the clouds and shines silver on the mountain streams.

Yang Mingyun opened the trunk in the back of the car and took out the "Storm" assault rifle, the strap of which was hung around his neck and the body of the gun was across his chest. The shoes were wrapped with rope to prevent slipping, a bullet belt was tied around the waist, and the other two bullet belts were carried on the left shoulder and right flank. The rest of the rope is wrapped around and hung around the waist.

Closing the suitcase, Yang Mingyun put on suede gloves to prevent thorns from stabbing his hands, and climbed the cliff. After a pause, he listened intently to the movement around him.

At this moment, all he could hear was the sound of the gurgling water of the mountain stream, the cooling of the engine of Yang Mingyun's car, and the sound of the trees caused by the wind passing through the trees.

The cold air in the forest was overwhelming, and Yang Mingyun couldn't help but shudder. He began to move in the woods. His shoes are wrapped with ropes, which are difficult to walk on the road, but they work well on slippery hillsides.

What made Yang Mingyun feel a headache was that the dead branches broke when they touched it, making a loud noise.

Suddenly, a beast path appeared in front of me, and I don't know if it was a wild boar or a deer stepping on it. Yang Mingjun carefully inspected the ground.

The beast path is the path that the beast has trodden. Beasts have their own territory, and they can use their paths to avoid making noise by carving out their own roads and making use of their paths to feed or escape from enemy beasts.

Yang Mingyun walked forward cautiously, barely hearing a single sound of footsteps. The strap of the "Tempest" assault rifle hangs around the neck, and the butt is clipped under the right armpit, ready to fire at any time.

When he walked about 500 meters, Yang Mingyun's left foot suddenly stepped on the soft ground.

Yang Mingyun reflexively jumped up and rolled on the ground with his left foot, only to hear the sound of "bang", a tiger clip bounced from the ground, and the steel teeth of the tiger clip grazed Yang Mingyun's jumping left foot and snapped together. In vain fell to the ground. This tiger clip has more than a dozen sharp steel teeth. If the foot and neck are clamped, I am afraid that even the bones will be crushed.

The other end of the chain was attached to a thick cedar tree next to the animal path, and the chain was originally hidden under the dirt and fallen leaves, and was bounced up and dragged by the tiger clip. It was exposed.

Yang Mingyun took out a hunting knife, cut a small beech tree about three centimeters thick, cut off the branches and leaves, and made a stick, and then he used this stick to poke at the ground near the tiger clip.

Less than fifty centimeters forward, the stick was caught by a second tiger clip that jumped up from the ground, and the steel teeth sank deep into the wood.

Yang Mingyun pulled out the stick from the tiger clip and continued to test the nearby ground, so the tiger clips buried around jumped up one after another, making a creepy metal bite sound. In this area alone, twelve were buried.

Yang Mingyun scolded in his heart, untied the clip on the tiger clip, compressed the spring, and pulled the clip teeth open.

One by one, he opened all the tiger clips, buried them as they were, and swept them over with beech twigs to remove the fallen leaves.

Depending on the situation, I don't know what kind of trap I will encounter if I walk the beast path again, so Yang Mingyun left the beast path. The small branches of the trees make a little noise when they break when they touch the body, and there is no way to do it.

After walking forward for another 300 meters, Yang Mingyun's left foot stepped on the ground covered by dead branches, and suddenly stepped on the air.

Trap, when the thought flashed, Yang Mingyun reflexively jumped up, but it was already too late. Yang Mingyun's calf was covered by a wire sleeve.

Before Yang Mingyun could reach out, the iron chain hidden under the fallen leaves tightened, and at the same time, a bent tree in the forest on the left side bounced straight and made a fierce sound.

Yang Mingyun's legs were wrapped in a wire sleeve, and his body was hung upside down high. When his whole body was bounced up, the branches of the miscellaneous trees around him hit Yang Mingyun very painfully, and he couldn't help moaning. Despite this, his mind remained calm, and his left hand struggled to cover his pocket so that the hunting knife would not fall out.

Yang Mingyun hung headfirst down, about seven meters above the ground. The tightrope strangled his leg and stomach, causing him to feel intense pain.

Yang Mingyun put the hunting knife in his mouth, bent down and straightened his upper body, grabbed the wire rope at the upper end of the wire sleeve with both hands, and pulled up with force. In this way, the weight of the sleeve that covers the left leg is transferred to the hands. Yang Mingyun let go of the wire sleeve, pulled out his left leg, grabbed the wire rope and swung it to the oak tree, and sat down on a thick branch. Then he put the hunting knife in his pocket, rolled up his left trouser leg, and examined the injury.

The trouser leg has been torn, and the skin has become black, purple, black and purple in the part where the steel wire is strangled.

Yang Mingjun massaged the wound for a while, relieving the pain a little. Then stand on the branches of the trees and observe the surrounding forest. The trees are black and oppressive, and the protruding mountain beams are obscuring, so you can't see the manor-like buildings. Yang Mingyun had no choice but to slide down from the tree, cut off a small cedar tree, cut it into a wooden stick with a diameter of three centimeters, and used this wooden stick to walk forward while controlling the rope on the ground.

Just because all his attention was focused on the trap on the ground, Yang Mingyun almost hit a thin wire painted black across his chest.

Yang Mingyun suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
