Tang Lin's uncle is Tang Yisheng, one of the first people to follow Qiao Yu. He has always controlled the power of infrastructure. Don't underestimate this power. As China's economic development enters the fast lane, the demand for infrastructure is getting higher and higher.
Cities need planning and construction, roads and railways need to be repaired, waterways need to be cleaned up, ports need to be expanded, farmland water conservancy facilities need to be added, and the management of the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers is also in our hands.
Any project is a huge one, and the amount of money involved is outrageous. Almost everyone covets this position, but Old Tang relies on his integrity and outstanding work ability, as well as Qiao Yu's unconditional trust.
Be able to sit firmly in this position.
Tang Yisheng only had one daughter and no son, so he took great care of his nephew Tang Lin and sent him directly to the National Defense University, which was developed from the Southwest Frontier Defense University. Tang Lin himself was not weak in ability and was very interested in the navy.
, Old Tang spent a lot of effort to send him to the Chinese Naval Academy.
Over the years, Tang Lin has become one of China's first submarine captains. However, he keeps his identity strictly confidential in the military. He does not want to rely on his uncle's status to gain anything for himself. A real soldier should rely on his uncle's status to gain anything for himself.
Get enough honors for your military exploits.
He, Wu Kaijie, and Cheng Hailiang just met by chance in a club, but they had a good temper and became friends. Since the sinking of Furutaka, the status of Chinese naval aviation has become higher and higher. Navy Commander Chen Shaokuan has already
Consider air power as the best weapon against Japan.
However, as a submarine commander, Tang Lin still believed in his submarine the most. He believed that it was the sharp sword under the water and the key to defeating the strong by the weak. After receiving the order to go to sea, Tang Lin seemed very excited. He knew that he
Some of his other comrades-in-arms have been at sea for a long time, and may have begun to attack Japan's maritime lifeline, so he is also very anxious and wants to show off his skills on the ocean.
Tang Lin's submarine is the latest one developed by China. It is a Qianlong D-type submarine with a displacement of more than 800 tons and a cruising range of more than 7,000 nautical miles. It can easily attack any maritime trade line in Japan.
After setting off from Quanzhou, Tang Lin headed east. Tang Lin had already planned an attack plan before setting off. Japan now has four most important maritime lifelines, a northern route, which mainly transports resources from the Far East.
To Japan, one is the sea route to North Korea.
At this time, the northern route was basically stopped due to the freeze period. Although the North Korean route was busy, it was very close to the Japanese mainland, and the defense force was not weak, so it was not easy to attack.
The other two are the Southwest Passage and the Eastern Passage. The Southwest Passage mainly connects Japan, Okinawa and even Taiwan. This is where Japan's combined fleet accumulates heavy troops. In addition, the supplies sold by Britain and France to Japan from Southeast Asia also take this route.
The Eastern Sea Route connects Japan and the United States. Since the declaration of war, American oil and scrap steel have been continuously transported to Japan. Although the United States shouts peace slogans loudly, this is a good thing to make money.
They will never let it go. Those powerful conglomerate tycoons have too many ways to avoid the control of the US government.
Tang Lin chose the eastern route as the target of his attack this time. He knew very well that the southwest route is the easiest. After all, it is very close to China, and China is also familiar with the hydrological conditions of the sea. It can
Very good blow to ri himself.
But because of this, Japan is also paying the most attention to this place, concentrating more than 80% of its anti-submarine forces here. The submarine itself plays the role of an assassin, so it should be caught by surprise, and the southeast route can also mobilize Japan's
force, forcing them to deploy their precious forces to the southeast. In this way, China's other submarines will have a much greater chance of succeeding.
Today's submarines are far from being able to travel underwater for more than ten days or even more than the nuclear submarines of later generations. All submarines have a very limited time underwater because submarines are powered by both diesel engines and batteries.
, using a diesel engine above the water surface is faster and can reach more than ten knots, while underwater you can only use a battery, which can only last a few hours, and the speed is only three or four knots, so when the submarine goes to sea
, usually travels above the water, and will only dive into the sea when a dangerous situation occurs or when it is about to enter an attack position.
Tang Lin led his submarine to quietly approach the Ryukyu Islands. Ryukyu was originally a vassal state of China, but was illegally stolen by Japan. Judging from the location of the Ryukyu Islands, it is located just east of China, separating China from the vast Pacific Ocean.
, if China can capture Ryukyu, it can use it as a base to share the Pacific Ocean with the United States. If it cannot, it can only stay in the inland sea and not achieve much.
Now the Ryukyu front line is an area that Japan is heavily guarding. However, no matter how tight their defense is, there will always be flaws. Tang Lin and his submarine will continue to move forward looking for these flaws. However, there are also many dangers along the way.
Three times, it was almost discovered by a Japanese patrol ship. Especially when it was approaching the strait between the Amami Islands, Tang Lin's submarine was almost discovered by a small cargo ship. This really shocked Tang Lin. He could now
Not wanting to conflict with Japan prematurely, he had a more grandiose plan, so he hurriedly ordered the submarine to dive into the water and cross the strait underwater.
Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to notice it. He headed eastward without any danger and finally entered the vast Pacific Ocean. After arriving here, Tang Lin became extremely excited. He knew very well that this was his hunting ground for this period of time, but the submarine
It can only carry fourteen torpedoes.
The number is not large, and he must use it rationally. Only in this way can he achieve greater results. What an excellent submarine commander needs most is calmness and patience. Sometimes it takes several days to find a valuable prey.
, of course, more often than not, nothing is achieved.
However, there should not be any impatience at this time. On the contrary, as a captain, he has to constantly comfort his brothers. The submarine is very small and the environment is not good. It is filled with all kinds of strange smells. Because he cannot
When taking a shower, all sailors are unshaven and their bodies emit some unpleasant smell.
The physical torture is still a trivial matter, but more of a psychological emptiness and irritability. They are on the vastest ocean, but they can only survive in an extremely narrow environment, and various things may happen at any time.
These dangers test everyone's nerves.
In addition to commanding the battle, Tang Lin's task was to comfort these soldiers who were participating in such a long-distance battle for the first time. However, this time it seemed that God was favoring them. While they were waiting, they could see the water above the water through the periscope from time to time.
With all kinds of ships coming and going, it seems that this route is quite busy.
After waiting for two days, Tang Lin finally discovered a 10,000-ton oil tanker. Although Japan could get some oil from the Far East, it was not economical due to the high cost of extraction, especially now when the weather is the coldest.
Extraction and transportation are extremely difficult, so Japan mainly relies on American oil for sustenance.
The tonnage of this oil tanker has exceeded 10,000 tons. It is a big guy who does not choose to get stuck. Tang Lin chose him as his first prey. The submarine quietly surfaced and the torpedo was quickly stuffed into the launch tube.
Among them, two torpedoes shot toward the Japanese tanker with brilliant sprays of water.
Tang Lin, on the other hand, quickly commanded the submarine to dive into the water. The people on the tanker were completely unaware that the danger was right in front of them. These Japanese people had blind confidence in the powerful combined fleet, and the Chinese could only toss around the coast.
There is no way to go further, let alone the vast Pacific Ocean!
At this moment, the crew on the deck suddenly discovered two fast-moving water marks on the water. Could they be sharks? Would these big guys be stupid enough to hit his ship with their heads?
Just when these Japanese people were still confused about the situation, both torpedoes hit each other. One hit the middle of the tanker, and the other hit the tail. A violent explosion shook the world and the tanker was torn open several meters apart.
With such a large hole in diameter, this kind of civilian ship cannot withstand the attack of a submarine at all. Even a rough-skinned battleship cannot avoid the fate of exploding and sinking after being hit by several torpedoes.
The huge explosion caused a fire, which immediately engulfed the entire oil tanker. This was the worst thing that could happen. The ship was filled with oil. Soon there was a bigger explosion, and the flames shot straight into the sky. There were enough
Hundreds of meters high, with billowing black smoke and flying flames, it looks like a huge torch. Not to mention how spectacular it is, this is a fireworks display that only submariners can afford to watch.
It was too extravagant. Thousands of tons of oil all burned up. The huge heat wave seemed to boil the sea water. A large number of fish and shrimps around them died quickly, and the crew members were even more miserable. They were either burned to death by the fire or burned to death.
Boiled by boiling sea water.
Not far away, Tang Lin and his men were admiring his masterpiece through the periscope. Tang Lin was not a cruel person. He couldn't bear to see this situation. But who said the two sides were rivals? He could only continue
Looking for the next target to replicate this tragedy again.
China's maritime strangulation war against Japan has already begun. The main battlefields are still concentrated in the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea, and even the South China Sea. As long as the Japanese merchant ships cannot escape the care of the Chinese sea wolf, less than ten days after the war started, China
Nearly 70,000 tons of various strategic materials were sunk, and an old ironclad ship was also sent to the bottom of the sea. This kind of blow was very fatal to the Japanese who did not have a strong family background.
They don't have colonies all over the world like the UK, which can quickly replenish supplies. Every ton of supplies Japan imports from foreign countries costs more than double the usual price. Now because of China's threat to the sea, Japan has no choice but to
Without paying a higher price, hire foreign cargo ships to help Japan transport supplies, or simply hang the flag of another country on your own ship. Only by this method can you obtain urgently needed strategic supplies.
However, China will not let Japan have an easy time. Qiao Yu issued a strongly worded diplomatic note to various countries in the name of the Supreme Command of China, requiring all countries to strictly observe neutrality and refuse to provide strategic materials to Japan. If Japan cannot give up this kind of funding,
Japan's war behavior, China will implement unrestricted submarine warfare and include all merchant ships transporting supplies to Japan within the scope of attack! (To be continued.
