The Babuyan Islands are only 145 nautical miles (270 kilometers) from Qixingyan, the southernmost point of Taiwan, and they are also a battle node that Bai Shujie is most concerned about.

Bai Shujie followed Lin Hei'er to practice martial arts for four years, although he was not the purest person in the rivers and lakes, but after so many years of life and death struggle, he understood a truth: "No matter when, you must have a few hole cards in your hand, and you can save your life when it is critical." ”

Because of this, when he first debuted, Bai Shujie's most attentive mastery was a "five-edged plum blossom dart" secret weapon, which is the so-called "shuriken" of the little devil ninja.

According to Bai Shujie's guiding ideology, submarines can only be used as hidden weapons unless they are absolutely necessary, and they will absolutely not participate in attacks on the other side.

The biggest deterrent of a submarine is that it lurks and does not move, when you do not find it.

Once the submarine floats on the water, is exposed to the public, and then attacks with 1 cannon, it has already failed!

How much of a cannon can it do? No one can say this clearly.

However, it is also unclear how powerful a submarine lurking next to the enemy's fleet will be in the end.

But there is one thing, as long as this submarine works, it is not comparable to 1 cannon. It is not impossible to take out several of the enemy's most threatening warships.

This is where the deterrent power of submarines lies.

As long as there is a submarine that is not discovered, your fleet will not dare to let it go. When fighting like this, half of the power of a hundred percent has been removed.

Bai Shujie concealed not 1, but 6 submarines: "The battle on land has nothing to do with you, but it is your responsibility for the enemy's fleet to pass by you without being detected!" I don't need you to take out the enemy's fleet, but I want you to detect the enemy in advance and give warning. ”

In the area of the Babuyan Islands, there are five islands in a palm-sized area, forming a strange pentagonal shape. The ghost fleet originally set up a secret base here, and then the little devils were destroyed before they had time to conduct a full inspection.

Now, the White Shark 001-006 boats, also covered with rubber tiles on the outside of the hull, are able to eliminate the enemy's sonar detection signals. Therefore, it is hidden in this pentagonal water, and the submarine is also turned into a reef and hidden under the water, and only the conning tower is exposed to the surface.

Six passive radars rotate secretly, like an invisible net "peeping" into the sea areas to the east, north, and west. A new generation of passive radar, refined by the expert group, with a detection range of 220 km (120 nautical miles).

The book explains that as soon as the 48th Division returned to Taipei, something happened on Luzon Island. Hideki Tojo gave an order to Takashi Sakai in Guangzhou, and naturally the 48th Division in Taiwan was not left behind.

In order to gain time, the Taiwan 1st Wing of the 48th Division took a train south from Taipei to Kaohsiung, and then re-boarded the ship to rush to Luzon.

It was so upside down, even though the little devil's movements were as fast as lightning, and it was not until six o'clock in the morning on January 2, 1942 that more than 3,200 people of Taiwan's First Wing completed boarding, and then began to pounce on Banji.

In less than seven hours after the departure of the huge fleet, the six White Sharks that were lurking had already caught their tracks, and immediately sent a notice to the First Fleet: "In addition to the transport ships, the enemy has a huge destroyer fleet!" ”

It turns out that Magong Island, west of the island of Taiwan, is a naval base for the little devils, and there is also a senior officers' clubhouse here.

This time, a large force reinforced Luzon, and the two cruisers and seven destroyers under maintenance at the naval base were ordered to escort the first wing of Taiwan, which could also be regarded as reinforcement of Luzon.

the Yanhuang 701 transport ship transporting Liu Zhiliang's two armored regiments, the Dahan 903 Yamato-class battleship escorting the escort, and the Datang 203 and 204 Korean-class cruisers; The Shennong 602 transport ship, the Yanhuang 702 transport ship, and the Daqin 801 Wasp-class aircraft carrier, which transported two armored regiments and one tank regiment in Shi Liancheng, have now returned to North Korea in formation to prepare to transport follow-up troops.

That is to say, there are no warships in the entire north of Luzon, and there are only 2 Prince-of-Wales class battleships of Dahan 901 and 902, 2 Atlanta-class cruisers of Datang 201 and 202, and 4 Somers-class destroyers of Daming 301, 302, 303 and 304 in the west.

It's not that Bai Shujie is bold, but he knows that the Pacific Combined Fleet, now commanded by Isoroku Yamamoto, is confronting the Americans east of Guam.

The South China Sea Fleet of the little devils is now all concentrated in the Gulf of Thailand and the Strait of Malacca, competing with the British devils for Burma.

Bai Shujie ordered a total of four strategic reconnaissance planes to stare at the sea areas in the east and west directions day and night, and as long as the combined fleet of the little devils returned, he would immediately adjust his tactics.

The two naval powers are facing each other, and it is not that they will break up if they want to. The young couple divorced, and in the end, they still need to divide the property or something. If two big countries want to break up, they definitely need to talk about it, and it will take time.

With a few of Bai Shujie's warships left, they can show off their might in the Yellow Sea, East China Sea, and South China Sea.

By the time the game of naval powers is over, Bai Shujie's operation in the fire is almost over.

However, Hideki Tojo had not yet seen the power of the Hakushojie Sea and the Air Force, and he was bent on retaking Luzon. Because Luzon is stuck between the island of Taiwan and the island of Malay, it happens to be a flat pole.

If Bai Shujie is stuck there and stands on his heels, the army of the little devils will become dumbbells without beams, and they will become two dead irons. Once you lose the ability to cooperate with each other, you may sink into the sea at any time!

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the tiger mountains.

As soon as Hideki Tojo gave the order, Taiwan's 48th Division set off with all its might. Because they were victorious troops, they had defeated 120,000 Americans on Luzon not long ago, and now their spirits were high and their eyes were empty.

At half past four o'clock in the afternoon of January 2, 1942, the advance of the enemy fleet had appeared 50 nautical miles (about 90 kilometers) northwest of the Babuyan Islands.

Six Great White Shark submarines had already moved over to block the southeast side of the fleet, but they were only 60 meters underwater and did not move. For the slow approach of the enemy fleet, the Great White Shark fleet relied entirely on sonar systems to judge.

25 nautical miles!

When the first cruiser was 25 nautical miles away from the Great White Shark 001, the captain gave an order, and six Great White Sharks scrambled to the surface, and six torpedoes also slipped out.

It took 25 minutes for the torpedo to collide with the enemy cruiser, so the six Great White Sharks moved in one direction, scattered in all directions, and sank into the depths of the sea to remain still.

This is Bai Shujie's request, don't need to compare your guts with the enemy, and don't rush forward to disrupt the battle. Seeing the opportunity to kill with a single blow, and then drifting away, this is the killer. Face to face and fight hard, that's a reckless man.

The commander of the First Fleet is Deputy Commander of the Navy Ge Yougui. When he received a report on the enemy situation from the submarine Great White Shark detachment, his four destroyers had just returned home with 17 transport ships.

"Destroyers defend the port, Dahan 901 and 902 Prince of Wales class battleships, Datang 201 and 202 Atlanta-class cruisers follow me to meet the enemy!" Ge Yougui knew that the opportunity was rare, so he must give the little devil a little color: "White Shark: Immediately leave the battlefield and go north, go around behind the enemy, and prepare to ambush the fleeing enemy ships!" ”

According to the book, the First Fleet did not enter the port of Manila in the south, but anchored in the port of Dagupan in Lingayan Bay, with the aim of reinforcing northern Luzon at any time.

At the same time that the first cruiser of the little devil was hit by a bullet and caught fire, Ge Yougui's large force arrived: two battleships and two cruisers were now only 24 nautical miles (45 kilometers) from the enemy's fleet.

Ge Yougui stood on the command tower of the Dahan 901 battleship, looking very nervous in his heart, after all, today is the first naval battle, and all of them must use new weapons to have a psychological deterrent to the enemy, this is Bai Shujie's order.

Because of this, the first order issued by Ge Yougui was: "Datang 201 and 202 rocket artillery are ready, and at the same time, air defense on the flank, Dahan 901 and 902 missiles are ready, and all ships are moving forward at full speed!" ”

The renewal of weapons will inevitably bring about changes in tactics.

Five minutes later, Ge Yougui gave up the classic "T-shaped crosshead" favorable position in naval warfare, and instead ordered the fleet to turn its rudder to the left and move in the opposite direction of the enemy's fleet, 50 nautical miles in parallel, so that his fleet was out of the range of the enemy's main guns.

"Dahan 901, 902: One missile launch!" Ge Yougui received the radar position report, and now it is just parallel to the enemy's fleet, which is the biggest blow surface: "Datang 201, 202: rocket artillery fire!" White Shark: Responsible for observing the effect of the blow and reporting it immediately! ”

"White Shark 001 Report: 2 transport ships failed to evade, and were broken into two sections by missiles on the spot, and have sunk! Now the enemy's fleet is within range, and rocket artillery shells can be fired intensively to deliver saturation strikes to the enemy's convoy! ”

When Ge Yougui heard this, his spirits immediately perked up: "Dahan 901, 902: rocket artillery fire!" Datang 201 and 202 are heading north at full speed, passing the enemy fleet and raiding Magong Island and Kaohsiung Harbor! ”

"White Shark 001 Report: All the decks of the enemy ships are on fire, and now they are turning in the face of artillery fire, and they have given up moving on, and we request an attack!"

Ge Yougui took a deep breath: "Save yourself and destroy the enemy!" Don't fight to the death, launch a free attack! ”

This naval battle lasted until nine o'clock in the evening of January 2, 1942, when all 7 frigates of the little devils were wiped out, and only 1 of the 19 transport ships escaped the catastrophe.

Of course, this 1 ship was ordered back by Ge Yougui, just to let them bring back the terrifying artillery news, so that the little devil would not dare to act rashly in the future.

Being able to use a single "shell" to blow a 30,000-ton ship into two knots and send it into the depths of the sea on the spot is not something that ordinary naval guns can do.

Hideki Tojo took over the position of Prime Minister of the "timid as a mouse" Fumiro Konoe, and scoffed at the legendary mysterious cannon, which is why there were two reinforcement orders this time.

Bai Shujie is very interested in teaching Hideki Tojo a lesson. So let Ge Yougui's subordinates show mercy, someone must send a letter to Hideki Tojo.

Ge Yougui's two battleships and two cruisers did not leave the battlefield, but began an "international humanitarian" rescue - salvaging the guy who fell into the water.

The little devil swears to die and will not accept rescue, but how can Ge Yougui "not save when he sees death"? Luzon, which has been in a mess, is now in dire need of labor.

Capturing coolies was also nerve-wracking, but fortunately six great white sharks came after destroying the fleeing enemy ships. knocked out all the little devils who were unwilling to accept the rescue, and then dragged them to the boat one by one like dead pigs.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
