The reason why Hogger sent a few patrol ships was because he was worried about a problem, that is, he was worried that if the ships were sent out too much, he might not be able to come back. Ranwen ??.? ｒ?ａ?ｎ?? ｅ?ｎ?`ｏ?ｒ?ｇ?

Although Li He's fleet is now in Guangdong, who knows if they have already sent ships.

"When will the patrol ship come back?" Hauger looked at the time.

There is a time limit for when his patrol boat will return, and if it does not come back after the time, it will be a problem.

The chief of staff next to him thought for a moment: "Half an hour." ”

Hush...... Hearing this, Hao Ge sighed, with this sentence, then he can be relieved.

After two days of waiting, Liu Jun finally got accurate information from the Nanyang side, that is, the port of Nanyang can allow submarines to pass.

"Head, what now?" Zhong Lin, who was on the side, saw where Liu Jun had been in a daze, and immediately asked.

Hearing Zhong Lin's question, Liu Jun put down the message in his hand, then walked to the map and began to watch the situation in Manila.

In the current port, where most of the troops of the Nanyang Naval Division are stationed, once the submarine enters, it must use the fastest speed to launch the torpedo and then leave.

And the burden of covering the entry and escape of submarines is concentrated on surface ships.

"Tell Li He to mobilize troops, attract Nanyang artillery fire, cover the entry of submarines, and in addition, notify the submarine formation. Find the right time to enter. ”

"Understood." Hearing Liu Jun's clear order, Zhong Lin answered and then wrote down the order.

Guangdong, the scorching weather has made people breathless, although Li He has now worn short sleeves, but the sweat on his face is still falling down layer by layer.

It's too hot, what kind of weather is this. Li He, who rarely stays here, keeps cursing in his heart.

Woowoo....... A warship in the distance whistled. Li He, who heard the voice, stood up and walked to the window, and he saw that the battleship Li Jing of the Fujian Navy Division was entering the military port.

It's been almost ten days, and it's really a depressing thing that so many warships are moored here without a battle order. Seeing Li Jing enter the military port, Li He thought in his heart.

With a creak, the closed door opened, Li He took a look, and it was Yan Fu who came in.

Yan Fu was on the warship for the past two days and didn't come down, so when he saw Yan Fu coming down, Li He estimated that something was wrong.

"The battle order has come down."

came, he had been waiting for this message for many days, and Li He, who heard this, grabbed the message in Yan Fu's hand.

Dispatch a certain number of troops to attract firepower from the South Seas and cover the entry of submarines.

This plan seems to be somewhat similar to the original Combined Fleet, but there are differences.

Back then, when the Combined Fleet was packed, it was the submarines that entered first, but this time, it was after the fight was entered.

"Are the submarines ready?" Li He, who looked at the message, asked.

In fact, the submarine has been in place for a long time, and now, these submarines are in Huangpu, a total of six.

Seeing Yan Fu nodding, Li He came to the map, looked at it carefully, and then issued an order.

"Order, the submarines will depart this evening and go to the open sea, in addition, five combat battleships, six cruisers, ten destroyers, immediately prepare, tomorrow at eight o'clock,."

Let the submarine go first, this is a matter of no choice.

The submarine is slow, and even if the warship is out tomorrow morning, it will be able to catch up. Therefore, in order not to affect the time too much, Li He could only let the submarine go first.

Late at night, at the Huangpu Military Port, the warship next to it was mostly turned off except for the searchlights on the mast, which were still shaking.

To the east of Huangpu, on the pitch-black road, there are more than a dozen people walking on the beach in the distance, and these people are Xiao Shan, the captain of the Sixth Submarine Brigade who went to attack the Manila Military Port in the South Ocean.

Xiao Shan was originally Tianjin Naval Academy, and after Zhili was merged into Liu Jun, Xiao Shan entered the Lushun Naval Academy to study again, and then entered Germany for further study.

After returning from Germany, Xiao Shan, who originally thought that he would be able to get on a warship, never dreamed that he would be assigned to a special department, the submarine brigade.

At that time, there were only a few submarines that were easy to roll over even when firing torpedoes, so at that time, Xiao Shan was unhappy with the boss. He begged his boss Commander Cai several times to leave.

However, at that time, Commander Cai did not agree.

Fortunately, Commander Cai didn't agree, otherwise, I'm afraid that now, his Xiao Shan's intestines will regret rotting.

"Captain, shall we leave now?" In the dark night, a voice sounded, this person was the deputy captain of the sixth brigade. has always been a partner with Xiao Shan.

Nonsense is not, the commander's order has already been given, immediately set off, who told our submarine to run slowly. Hearing this, Xiao Shan nodded, and then walked towards the lights in the distance.

Coming to the light, Xiao Shan directly entered the boat.

This small boat was specially arranged to pick them up and take them to the submarine mooring place one kilometer away.

When he arrived at the mooring place of the submarine, Xiao Shan saw that the personnel of the six submarines were already waiting on the beach for the departure order.

"Let's go." Xiao Shan, who jumped out of the boat, waved his arms.

Syllable...... The people present suddenly began to enter their submarine.

Whew....... There was a roar of machinery, and after a few minutes, the six submarines began to slowly depart, then disappeared into the night sky.

Yang Xin Palace, Liu Jun has not rested yet, he has been waiting for Li He's message.

Li He sent a telegram at noon to tell himself that the submarine would be dispatched tonight, and after getting the news, Liu Jun waited in the Heart Cultivation Hall and told Zhong Lin that once Li He had a telegram from there, he would tell him immediately.

It was almost twelve o'clock, and I looked at the time on the wall. Liu Jun estimated that Li He would not send a message to himself tonight.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw Zhong Lin walk in.

It should be Li He's message coming, seeing Zhong Lin, Liu Jun has just arrived in his heart.

"Head, Li and call, the submarine has departed."

Sure enough, it was Zhong Lin's message, and Li He, who heard this, relaxed.

The submarine departs, then in three days at most, the battle in the South China Sea begins.

Success or failure is in one fell swoop, Liu Jun looked at the message and thought in his heart.

This time it was a battle that would affect whether the empire would be able to stand firm in the future, and there was a big difference between him and the war against Japan back then.

Two months, it should be possible to resolve the battle. (To be continued.) )
