Last year, that is, on October 12, 1938, the 18th and 104th Divisions of Little Devils set sail from Magong Island in the Penghu Islands and landed in Daya Bay, Guangdong Province, with the support of the Fifth Fleet's naval and air forces. The next day, the little devil bombed Huiyang, Guangdong. Three days later, Huiyang fell.

On the 19th, the little devils raided Zengcheng, and the Chinese defenders of more than 20,000 people were crushed 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 devils occupied Guangzhou, cut off the Guangzhou-Kowloon and Guangdong-Han railways, and captured Conghua City.

On the 22nd, 110 bombers of the Little Devil Naval Air Force and a formation of ships of the Fifth Fleet attacked the Humen Fortress in Guangdong Province.

On the 23rd, the Suzuki unit of the 3rd Special Marine Corps of the Little Devil Navy and the Sakamoto detachment of the 5th Infantry Division of the 21st Army of the Army landed on Yaniangshoe Island and Bidao Island near the Humen Fortress in Guangdong Province respectively, and Humen, Foshan, Sanshui and other places fell.

The so-called more than 100,000 people of the so-called Cantonese army who were dismembered by Jiang someone, under the "command" of Yu Hanmou, basically fled without a fight. It took only 10 days for the little devils to occupy Guangzhou, Humen and other important places.

The common people paid food and money to feed the Guangdong army for decades, but the final result was to flee without a fight!

In the urban area of Guangzhou alone, more than 30,000 people were slaughtered by the little devils! It can really be regarded as "blood flowing and pestle, and corpses are piling up like a mountain!" ”

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

Deputy Captain Lu Yunlong, as the commander of this secret operation, was also the first time to command a submarine force to fight. Some limited naval warfare knowledge, in addition to learning some in German classrooms, and then the eight-character policy of "avoiding hard tops and being flexible" emphasized by Bai Shujie.

After crossing Jeju Island and arriving at the sea east of Daechen Island, there was nothing wrong with it and no enemy was found along the way.

The day after the departure, at about 6 p.m. on May 22, 1939, the fleet arrived in the waters southeast of the Nanri Islands. At ten o'clock in the evening, the flotilla came to the sea area 60 kilometers southeast of Kinmen Island.

This section of the sea is where Lu Yunlong worries the most, because to the north is Kinmen Island, where the Little Devil's Fifth Fleet is stationed; To the south is the Penghu Islands, the sea warning area of the Taiwan Army, which is only 140 kilometers wide. Now the fleet is crossing through the middle, and in fact it is already in a situation where the enemy is flanked from both sides.

The submarine formations that came out this time were White Shark 1, White Shark 2, White Shark 3, Shadow 1, and Shadow 2. The White Shark-class submarine is the little devil's Yi 6 type; The Shadow-class submarine is the British P-class submarine.

Among them, the Shadow 1 and 2 boats with a slightly lower displacement formed a double arrow to open the way, and the 3 White Shark submarines formed a triangular formation behind the palace.

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

The wireless walkie-talkie rang at this moment, and the captain of the Shadow 1 boat, who was officially in the vanguard: "White Shark 1: A high-speed ship appeared at one o'clock, with a speed of 27 knots and a distance of 50 kilometers!" ”

"Signalman: Order the freighter to turn off the heading lights and slow down immediately!" Lu Yunlong's spirits perked up when he heard this: "The shadow immediately stops and prepares to dive!" Use the periscope combined with sonar to observe the enemy's movements, now the sight is not good at night, it is difficult for the enemy to find the periscope, remember not to fire first. ”

"White Shark 2 and 3 are moving at full speed, keeping 5 kilometers between each other and 50 kilometers away from the enemy at the same time, then diving and preparing for battle! White Shark 1, we immediately crossed the flotilla to prevent the enemy from rushing over! ”

The Shadow 1 and 2 boats had stopped and dived, disappearing into the sea. The White Shark No. 2 and No. 3 boats immediately picked up speed after receiving the order, and rushed forward from 27 knots to 36 knots.

"White Shark 1: Enemy ships have been spotted! According to the comparison of the Japanese warship establishment table issued by the headquarters, it was the Wakaba, a Mitake-class destroyer. The full load displacement is 1100 tons, and the speed is 35.5 knots. This thing is that the speed is okay, and the rest is not worth mentioning, and a torpedo will be sent to the bottom of the sea, can it be hit? ”

Lu Yunlong pondered for a moment, and then said loudly: "Don't worry, look at their movements." Our task is to escort the convoy, and this time the main purpose is not to fight! If it wants to die on its own and finds our fleet rushing towards it, sink it! ”

Things always go badly.

It is said that the radar technology of the little devils is too bad, but they have a very powerful point, that is, the ship observer!

Although it can't be called a "clairvoyant", they use a high-powered telescope and an optical rangefinder, which is a must.

These observers were trained in extremely harsh conditions, and they also had extraordinary abilities. Moreover, the navy of the little devils has been developed 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 keeping in mind Bai Shujie's order and tried not to clash as much as possible, but the five large freighters were across the sea, and although the lights were turned off, it was dark under the reflection of the sea, and he still couldn't dodge.

It turned out that the Wakaba destroyer was cruising along the coast of Guangdong during the day, and now it was supposed to return to Magong Island to replenish fuel. Unexpectedly, the observer suddenly found a large black area 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 strange to suddenly see an outsider in your own fish pond?

Especially a fleet that does not dare to turn on the lights, it means that the thief is weak-minded. The little devil captain suddenly understood in his heart: that must not be a friend of the empire!

Who is this captain? That's really not a small one: the commander of the 21st destroyer detachment of the Fifth Fleet, the commander of the Navy of Kiyo Waterman!

If according to the orders of the command of the Little Devil Navy, each sortie must make both ships act at the same time.

But there happened to be a ghost today, and Kiyomi Daisa thought that he was just going home to refuel and enjoy the services of an imperial geisha at the Magong Island Military Club, and there was no need to arrange another warship to accompany him.

"The delusional attempt to evade the Imperial Navy's investigation shows that there is a big problem with this fleet!" Qingshui Servant Dazuo immediately ordered: "Move forward quickly, go over and have a look!" ”

This just happened to be Lu Yunlong's sentence: There is a road in heaven that you don't take, and there is no way to go to hell. If you want to find death purely by yourself, you can't save the king of heaven!

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

Because now is the time not to be lost, and the loss will not come again!

As soon as the little devil adjusted his course, he didn't lift the momentum, and just turned his ribs against the Shadow 1 boat that was lying in ambush 10 kilometers away. If you don't fight now, then you'll be sorry for the conscience of heaven and earth, to be honest!

This is a first-generation high-speed torpedo driven by a brushless motor, with a speed of 58 knots and a range of 76 kilometers! The diameter of the bullet is 533mm, the weight of the bullet is 1.48 tons, the charge is 965 kg, and the standard depth is 2.4 meters.

Because there is no gas power, this torpedo does not draw a white line on the surface of the water during rapid sailing, and is purely a sinister big black fish.

The speed of 58 knots per hour is 108 kilometers per hour. Now it takes six minutes to catch up with a target 10 kilometers away. So the Shadow 1 boat aimed at the position of 3 kilometers of the bow of the enemy ship and fired this torpedo.

Because there is no greeting to each other, this is the coordination of the novice battle has not been mastered well. For an ambush at such a close distance, a small thing with a full load displacement of 1100 tons, one torpedo is enough.

However, Shadow 2, which was ambushed on the other side, also thought that the time 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 a torpedo.

In less than two minutes, an earth-shattering explosion came from the sea in the middle of the night: Boom!

Bai Shujie's high-energy, high-speed, high-explosive torpedo, the first hit, directly blew up the enemy ship's waist into two sections!

Immediately, there was an explosion in the engine room, fuel tank, and ammunition compartment of the enemy ship, and a large fireball appeared on the sea, and all kinds of debris flew all over the sky in the fire.

It's a pity that the Shadow 1 boat wasted a torpedo in vain, that is, $10,000 was thrown into the sea and floated!

On the White Shark No. 1 boat behind, Commander Lu Yunlong was suddenly dumbfounded: these eight calves directly opened fire and sank the enemy ship without asking for instructions, this is just fucking nonsense!

Now is not the time to be held responsible, and Lu Yunlong is not in the mood to be held responsible: "Signal soldier, order the fleet to move forward at full speed, and leave this ghost place quickly!" Shadow 1 and 2 boats immediately sailed at full speed as originally planned, and White Shark 2 and 3 boats followed up, paying attention to the left and right wings! ”

In less than twenty-five minutes, the White Shark No. 1 boat, which was moving at full speed, had already arrived at the sea area of the "scene of the incident", and the observer suddenly shouted: "Captain, look, there are little devils on the sea!" ”

Lu Yunlong waved his hand: "Call a fart, directly order the machine gunners at the tail of the ship to kill them, so as not to expose our whereabouts!" ”

There was no word all night, and by the time the sky was bright, the fleet had appeared 120 kilometers south of Hong Kong. Because the level of detection instruments at this time was limited, 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 he was going to greet!

They had already received an order from the commander-in-chief, Bai Shujie, and did not move on. Now it is docked at Wan'an Beach on Wan'an Island, the westernmost part of the Nansha Islands, waiting for the escort formation to come to meet it.

The implication of the telegram was that a British patrol boat from Bandar Seri Begawan to the south had arrived. The table seemed lukewarm, and his expression was very strange, and of course there was no time for an armed conflict. The British meant to let the fleet, especially the three warships, leave quickly.

Lu Yunlong made a comparison on the chart, and it turned out that the fleet was still at the southernmost tip of the Vietnamese Peninsula, and there were still more than 1,000 nautical miles away, and it would take at least a month to converge.

In order to save time, Lu Yunlong sent a telegram to the fleet leader, that is, his immediate boss and future partner, Gao Shengkui, the captain of the submarine team, and asked 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 stressed in the telegram: According to the spirit of the instructions of Commander-in-Chief Bai Shujie, if the British dare to use force, in accordance with the spirit of the public statement of the European Office, it will represent Britain's declaration of war on China. If that time really comes, it's just a fight, and if something goes wrong, Commander-in-Chief Bai Shujie is in his pocket!

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