Chapter 129 Black Shark Hunting
On the morning of September 26, 1931, Minamijiro, Minister of War of the Republic of Korea, received a battle report jointly sent by Kumamoto, commander of the 6th Division, and Kanekichi Ueda, commander of the 9th Division, and his mood suddenly became brighter. The troops who landed at Pusan Port The Wei Army has been fighting all the way and has advanced nearly 80 kilometers inland, ready for a decisive battle with the main force of the China Army. There are signs that the enemy in front of them is most likely the main force of the China Army. Kumamoto, the commander of the 6th Division, and the commander of the 9th Division Ueda Kaneyoshi jointly decided to mobilize the entire army to prepare for a decisive battle with the China Army.
"Yaoxi, that's great. We order the 10th Division to land at Inchon Port before noon and cut the Korean Peninsula into two sections." Army Minister Nanjiro finally gave the final order.
"Hey, log in before noon." The order was sent out quickly.
The Chinese Imperial Army had long expected that the military headquarters of the weak country would not give up. It conducted various deductions in response to the various reactions of the weak country and made comprehensive preparations. The naval battle was also a part of the war preparation plan, because it was the first priority of the navy. war, the internal quarrels went crazy, and everyone wanted to participate in the first battle. The Generalissimo gave an order and everyone became quiet. This time the task of the navy to go to war fell on the shoulders of the East China Sea Fleet, commanded by Feng Zhaohui, and Wu Peixiang's submarine detachment was responsible for ambushing the Japanese fleet. , Zhang Mingliang's torpedo speedboat detachment cooperated, and they were required to be secretive, solve the battle quickly, and resolve the battle cleanly and never reveal their true colors.
Today's navy is no longer the shabby one it used to be. The destroyers, frigates, torpedo boats, and submarines are almost complete, and small aircraft carriers are also under construction. However, the Generalissimo's Office has strictly ordered the navy to keep a low profile and not to show off. When going out for training and exercises, submarines must be arranged in advance to be on guard outside. To this day, no one has seen the true face of the navy.
This time, naval commander Zhang Jiwei, political commissar Chen Lei, chief of staff William, and deputy commander Zhang Hua all came to Incheon Port, which shows the high level of attention paid to them. Even though they knew it was a must-win battle, they were still worried about an accident and could not help but feel a little uneasy. This is the Navy's first battle since its establishment. It is related to the confidence of the Chinese Navy in the future. It must be won!
A fleet of "Kuma" light cruisers and a destroyer escort of the Chinese Navy were parked in the outer sea waiting for orders. They thought they were hiding secretly, but they didn't know that their whereabouts had long been grasped by the Chinese Imperial Army, and the Devil in the sky was threatening them at any time. The ground transmits their whereabouts and directions. Ten submarines of the Chinese Navy's submarine force have long been waiting on their only path.
At 10:40 a.m. on September 26, the Chinese fleet sailed towards the port of Incheon. The underwater submarine force received the order and sounded the battle alarm, and the first battle of the Chinese Imperial Navy was about to begin.
Ten submarines, five to the east and five to the west, are arranged in a staggered line. Coincidentally, the Japanese ships are also ten. Well, each submarine has its own goal. Wu Peixiang, the leader of the submarine detachment, is responsible for arranging the ships. The light cruiser "Kuma" is the leader of the fleet, while deputy detachment leader Li Ming is responsible for the destroyer at the rear of the fleet, and each of the other submarines is responsible for one enemy ship.
The first person to enter the ambush position of the submarine detachment was the Japanese light cruiser "Kuma". Wu Peixiang, the leader of the submarine detachment, observed in the periscope that the Japanese's sailing route had not changed. He was somewhat relieved that there was no need to adjust the ambush formation. It's damn good to have aerial reconnaissance. It's so cool, you don't even need the radar, it's like a shark waiting for the fish to swim in with its mouth open.
Seeing that the Japanese fleet had all entered the ambush position, Wu Peixiang, the leader of the submarine detachment, immediately issued an order: "Attention all ships, preparations for the "Black Shark Predation" operation have begun... The countdown has entered 10, 9... 1, launch."
Each ship launches torpedoes one after another. The torpedoes sneak towards the target under the water, gradually rising, and a white water line is drawn out of the water. Generally speaking, there is no problem with the accuracy of shooting. These are all fed by torpedoes. No one can compare with them.
Shang Haoren is willing to spend money. The navy's training is all about open ammunition and live ammunition. Training under various conditions requires only one accuracy.
A Japanese man on the light cruiser "Kuma" who was sailing in the lead accidentally discovered a torpedo. He jumped up in fright and shouted: "Torpedo, torpedo found!"
So what if it was discovered, it was too late. The light cruiser "Kuma" was in chaos. Some wanted to turn the gun muzzle to fire torpedoes, and some wanted to turn the bow, but it was too late. The torpedo hit "Kuma" with a "boom"
"The light cruiser, the middle part, the giant
The large torpedo explosion almost lifted the hull out of the water. During the fall, the hull pressed out huge waves. At this moment of falling, another torpedo hit the hull, and there was a loud "boom", followed by
"Boom" and "Boom...Boom" again
"The continuous explosions may be that the torpedo hit the boiler of the hull or the ammunition compartment exploded continuously. The destroyer quickly disintegrated and disappeared into the vast sea in the blink of an eye. This "Kuma" survived by chance during the September 18th Incident.
"Light patrol
A foreign ship with a displacement of 5,010 tons, a waterline length of 158 meters, a width of 14 meters, seven 14-centimeter caliber guns, two 8-centimeter caliber anti-aircraft guns, and a speed of 36 knots per hour.
This time it did not escape bad luck and ended its mission.
"Boom"..."Boom...Boom" explosions occurred one after another, deafeningly loud, occurring on each hull one after another. With the explosion of the "Kuma" light cruiser, the destroyer, and then the troop transport ship in the middle, all this happened
It was too fast. Some ships disintegrated quickly, while others sank slowly. A ship that sank too slowly was hit by a torpedo to accelerate its sinking. Before long, no ships could be seen on the sea, only
The devil is still struggling in the water.
When the first explosion sounded, a few small dots were vaguely visible in the distant sky, and then they became larger. This is the torpedo speedboat called the sea rabbit by the navy. Feng Zhaohui, commander of the East China Sea Fleet, personally went into battle, and with the ten
A torpedo boat arrived at the scene while the submarine was withdrawing. Just after arriving at the scene, Zhang Mingliang, commander of the torpedo boat detachment, issued an order: "Resolutely, quickly eliminate all traces, and no one is allowed to slip through the net."
Ten ships plus the 10th Division of the Qian Kingdom were all buried in the sea. I don't know if the distress telegram could be sent out. Anyway, everything was too fast and clean. The sea returned to calm, as if nothing happened.
The Tenth Division, the executioner who participated in the Nanjing Massacre in later generations, was buried in the belly of a fish in this life, and would never have the chance to commit torture again. Unfortunately, the Omi Military Observer Group also accompanied the Tenth Division and was buried together. Due to impotence
The country wants some benefits, and both sides want to discuss
The bargaining was delayed for some time, and I didn't catch the ship to Busan Port, so I had to follow the 10th Division to Incheon Port. The luck of the Omi Military Observation Group is really bad. What ship are you taking? Second choice
If you choose the wrong one, who will blame you?
The East China Sea Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy started the battle cleanly for the first time, fought the naval battles of the 1930s with modern strategies and tactics of later generations, completed her maiden campaign with a perfect record, and opened the first page of the history of Chinese naval warfare.
