In fact, how did Bai Shujie know that now the base camp of the little devil has been completely messed up. This time, the Navy Department of submarines and fighters were dispatched in large numbers again, and the bane was still on Bai Shujie.

The book explains that at the end of last year (1937), the little devils attacked Nanjing, and Bai Shujie was angry, regardless of his own weak strength, and ordered all the bombers to be dispatched and bombed the southern area of Tokyo into ruins.

Although it did not make the most complete hell on earth, more than 30,000 people were burned to death, and more than 100,000 people did not survive the winter, which surprised His Majesty the Emperor and the cabinet.

In particular, Kiichiro Hiranuma, who had just come to power, Seishiro Itagaki, Minister of War, Shusei Nagano, Minister of the Navy, and Fifty-six Mimoto, Vice Minister of the Navy, were intriguing with each other, and they all thought that others were framing them.

As a result, in order to prove that he was upright, Yamamoto Isoroku "rushed to the crown and became angry" and sent out the aircraft carrier Akagi, which had just been renovated and had not yet replaced its carrier-based aircraft, in order to give a little bit of a powerful look at the "anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements" who had stolen Pyongyang.

The ancestor of the "cloud burst bomb" and Bai Shujie's second-generation incendiary bomb and the first-generation airborne armor-piercing incendiary bomb have just been successfully developed, but as a result, the Akagi aircraft carrier has been bombed back to the "Iron Age" and has become an empty shell.

None of the officers and men of the aircraft carrier Akagi survived, and Vice Admiral Nagumo Tadaichi died in the line of duty, or "took a long leave to go out to meet the great god," and never returned.

Yamamoto Fifty-six is a big heel at this time!

The empire was short of funds, and finally completed the modernization and modification of the Akagi, but before it could be used, it had already been turned into scrap metal. If you do it again, you don't know how much it will cost.

To make matters worse, the enemy's air raid on Tokyo actually blew up the oil pipeline at the Yokohama Oil Refinery. Then the fire spread down the pipeline to the plant, igniting one of the largest oil refineries near Tokyo, and the second earth-shattering explosion was repeated.

Don't care how many people died, the key is that Yokohama belongs to one of the three major oil refineries of the empire, and the 50,000 tons of crude oil in reserve, the 20,000 tons of aviation kerosene that has been refined, and the heavy oil used in 110,000 tons of oil-fired boilers caught fire, and they were all destroyed in one fell swoop!

For the little devils, crude oil is the first lifeline.

Without crude oil, ships can be converted to coal-fired boilers, but airplanes are no longer called airplanes, because they can't fly at all. A tank cannot be called a tank either, because it must be pulled by a horse, and it should be called a carriage. Because of this, the little devil is in pain.

Crude oil is only abundant in the South China Sea, but that place is the chassis of Britain and the United States, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to get it. Even if you want to do it, you have to see what the long hairs in the north mean.

In case after the main force goes south, Longhaired Son shoots him in the back, and it will be a chicken flying egg that misses both ends. Therefore, the strategic test of Nomenkan, which was staged a year in advance, is said to have been fought now. After more than a month of fighting, both sides suffered heavy casualties.

At the same time, the little devils buy oil from the United States at any cost to make up for the deficit in domestic reserves. In order to achieve this goal, the little devils can only choose to turn a blind eye to the "rebellious" hook-up between the Americans and Pyongyang, and hate it in their hearts.

Since October last year, the little devils have been transporting equipment to first restore the refineries in Jinzhou and Yingkou, and then use the gangue from the Fushun Qianjinzhai coal mine to refine fuel oil.

With this two-pronged approach, diesel and gasoline barely sustain the basic needs of front-line armored vehicles, trucks and a small number of aircraft. However, the Admiralty did not have reserves of the huge quantities of heavy oil that were needed.

Because a battleship, or an aircraft carrier, carries more than 7,000 tons of heavy oil, plus hundreds of destroyers, cruisers, and submarines, that is all oil tigers.

The warships of the combined fleet need almost a million tons of heavy fuel oil at one time, and this is not taking into account the hundreds of aircraft of the air fleet, which is simply an astronomical amount!

For example, if you want to travel to Pearl Harbor, a round trip is 30,000 nautical miles, and if you don't have millions of tons of fuel reserves in advance, it's all in vain.

There was no way, after conspiracy, the Minister of the Admiralty, Nagano Shushen, and the Vice Minister of the Navy, Mimoto Fifty-six, decided to use the largest tonnage Haida Type 6 A-class submarine to dispatch three, that is, the Yi 168, Yi 170, and Yi 171 ships, and secretly went to Jinzhou to transport the heavy oil back as a strategic reserve of the Admiralty.

What a hell of a day. The three submarines passed through their own inland sea, that is, crossed the Sea of Japan and came out of the Tsushima Strait, and just came to the north of Jeju Island, they saw their "Glacier Maru Cruises" heading north.

At the beginning, the little devils in the three submarines thought that the "Glacier Maru" cruise ship was going to Lushun and Dalian, and everyone was still a companion. Unexpectedly, after arriving at Jiaodao, the "Glacier Maru" turned eastward and went directly into the Taedong River in the direction of Pyongyang!

"Nani? Will the Imperial Cruise Line want to make a trio of Pyongyang rebellion, or will it betray the Empire? ”

The little devils in the three submarines can't figure out the reason for breaking their heads. So the Yi 171 ship volunteered to follow and wanted to go inside the Datong River to see what was going on!

As a result, the Yi 171 ship naturally fell into a trap and never returned. The other two submarines decided to go to the "rebellious" naval base, that is, Jiaodao, to see if there was any opportunity to take advantage of it, and the end was not much better.

The submarine suddenly lost power, and the little devils inside the submarine could only desperately call for a "submarine rescue ship". Unfortunately, they did not know that the Korean Peninsula had been jammed by 12 large warning radars in all bands, and the radio signal could not be transmitted at all.

Three submarines "lost contact" at the same time, close to each other, but could not be contacted!

Communications were jammed, which directly affected the Fourth Fleet stationed in Qingdao, and all command systems were paralyzed at once. The commander, Vice Admiral Toyoda, received the report and was immediately shocked.

The first thing he thought of was whether the Soviets were secretly engaged in some conspiracy on the side of Nomenkan, where the war was stalemate in the north. After all, this paralysis of the fleet's chain of command was a prelude to preparing for a major attack.

Now nothing is clear, so he sent all 12 seaplanes of his fleet out to find out if there are any emergencies in the Yellow Sea, and the most important thing is to find out if there is an enemy fleet coming, especially submarines!

The book explains that when the little devil did not make up his mind to go south, the Fourth Fleet was stationed in Qingdao, and Jiaodao in the east was separated by the Yellow Sea, especially Weihaiwei on the Jiaodong Peninsula and Jiaodao on the Korean Peninsula, a distance of less than 300 kilometers.

In order to prevent the little devil from rescuing the trapped submarine, Bai Shujie ordered all 24 Bf108/H of the First Fighter Squadron to be dispatched.

The two large groups flew in opposite directions, and the fighters of the Wyvern Squadron used radar scanning to soon spot the seaplanes flying from the west.

The little devil's seaplane is mainly engaged in reconnaissance and guiding the attack of naval guns, so there is only one 7.7mm machine gun, and the speed is very slow.

When the little devil found that there was a huge group of planes in the east, and all of them were fighters, they couldn't meet it head-on at all, so the 12 seaplanes turned around and ran.

After receiving the report, Bai Shujie immediately issued an order: "Leave a three-plane formation to continue cruising, and the other fighters will return immediately." Exercise restraint as much as possible and do not initiate a fight. ”

Because Bai Shujie didn't want to provoke a dispute at this inopportune time, an expected big battle did not happen. The two sides fought each other, and the tiger was over.

Let's go back and talk about the two submarines that were trapped about three kilometers south of Jiao Island.

Because of the loss of the propeller, although it surfaced, the charging of the battery was still affected. waited until noon, but there was still no news of reinforcements, and the little devil on the submarine finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he sent someone to the sea to clean up the entangled propeller.

Bai Shujie: Will they just watch the little devil escape?

Just when the little devil was in a hurry, 9 speedboats had already rushed out. According to Bai Shujie's requirements, the imitation of a 75-ton surface speedboat with a draft of 0.36 meters and a speed of 50 knots is all installed with a DW30mm five-tube phalanx.

The 9-seat phalanx is 45 30mm rapid-fire guns, with a range of 3,600 meters and a rate of fire of 360 rounds per minute. Dense shells rained down on the decks of the two submarines, instantly blowing up the little devils on their backs.

On the submarine of the little devil, although there is a 100mm main gun and a heavy machine gun, the speedboat does not stop at all, but runs around the other side endlessly. Coupled with the dense shells that were like rain, the submarine was not at all capable of fighting back.

Wolf pack tactics!

Bai Shujie used the engines of various types of ships under 500 tons to produce 72 surface speedboats. It can drive a 500-ton ship diesel engine, and now it is used to drive a 75-ton surface boat, and only people like Bai Shujie who believe that "speed is life" can do it.

In order to ensure maximum speed, this speedboat, in addition to the engine unit, is to ensure fuel for a range of 500 km, and the rest is a reserve of Phalanx shells.

There were 5 people on each speedboat, and outside of a phalanx, there were 5 assault rifles, which finally played their role today.

The battle lasted half an hour, and there were no living people on the decks of the two submarines. Seven speedboats served as guards, and the other two approached, regardless of whether there was anyone inside, and two biological grenades were thrown into it to "pollute the air".

The biggest problem with submarines is that the space is narrow and the air that can be held is not enough! Now it's contaminated with a biological grenade, and it's impossible for the little devil to escape.

After a night and a half day of tossing back and forth, Bai Shujie seized three submarines of the little devil!

It's a pity that the submarine operators who were sent to Germany for training have not returned, and now these three "big black fish" don't know how to use them, so they can only send tugboats to tow them back to the Cangyunli shipyard for a comprehensive inspection.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief: There's nothing complicated about this! This kind of thing of the little devil is not a real submarine, but a product of surface ships and submarines together. ”

"It's basically driving on the water and diving when you spot an enemy. In order to achieve this goal, the submarine has two power systems, as well as two sets of propellers. ”

Zhang Bingyang had been tossing on the first ship for most of the day, and when he saw Bai Shujie asking about it, he immediately said: "When sailing on the surface, it is the diesel unit that drives the stern propeller; When driving underwater, it is the battery that drives the two propellers on the deck. ”

"However, to make the most of its power, we still have to wait for our submariners to return. Moreover, after observing for most of the day, the little devil has a zài problem in oxygen regeneration. If all the personnel are fully staffed according to the fixed number, the time to sail underwater at full speed cannot exceed four hours. ”

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