"Today, let us drink this bowl of fine wine and set out with endless joy to conquer the country of the sun. Oh, let us set out to conquer the country of the sun. My dear girl, when you receive the letter and this medal I left,
, I have blessed you in the sky, my most beautiful girl, when night falls, when you look at the sky, please don’t forget that the most beautiful star is my eyes looking into you.”
Next to the port of Vladivostok, hundreds of sailors wearing pure white navy uniforms were singing songs and walking in neat lines towards the port. They were the Chahar naval submarine that sank the Japanese Navy's Kaga aircraft carrier not long ago.
Officers and soldiers of the brigade, they are here to receive a new type of submarine today.
After leaving the dock, more than 600 naval officers and soldiers boarded trucks that had been parked on the roadside for a long time. The trucks quickly drove towards a small naval base more than 30 kilometers away from Vladivostok.
In the car, Mu Yu, who was wearing the newly minted lieutenant colonel rank, could not suppress his excitement. Since the sinking of the Kaga aircraft carrier, the personnel of the four submarines in the submarine brigade were all dismissed by the headquarters because of their great contributions.
The commendation was promoted, and Mu Yu's military rank was promoted from 21 cents to 20 cents. And starting from today, he will officially serve as the captain of a submarine. Although there is only one word between the second child and the boss, the difference is
But it was huge, which made Mu Yu feel a little overwhelmed.
Long Yu on the side was also happy for his friend's promotion, but for his friend's sake, he had to remind his friend.
"Mu Yu, I'm very happy for your promotion, but you must remember that from today on, you will be a captain. Submarines are no better than surface ships. Once something goes wrong, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will be killed.
The lives of dozens of people on the boat are in your hands, so you must not be careless."
Mu Yu looked at his mentor and friend gratefully, and said with some emotion: "Don't worry, I will definitely do my job well and will never bring disgrace on the face of our submarine brigade."
"Do a good job." Long Yu patted Mu Yu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I believe that with your ability, you will become an excellent captain."
An hour later, the truck drove to a small base. After the truck entered the base, all the officers and soldiers got out of the vehicle. They went through a strict inspection before being allowed to enter. When everyone entered the base, they discovered this.
The base turned out to be built in a particularly large underground cave. The cave was more than three hundred meters wide and several miles long, enough to accommodate hundreds of submarines docked at the same time. They were still walking around on the edge of the cave.
A few engineers belonging to the navy, and Zhang Shouye, chief of staff of the Chahar Navy, were standing on the dock waiting for them.
After everyone arrived in front of Zhang Shouye, Long Yu strode forward, saluted and reported: "Sir, all members of the Chahar Navy submarine brigade are here to report. Please give me your instructions."
Zhang Shouye also solemnly said: "Take a break."
"stand at attention"
"Brave sailors, today I saw that the submarine fleet has added eight more submarines, and our personnel have also grown. This makes me feel very relieved. The strength of our navy's surface ships is still very weak, so some of the surface ships that were originally
All the regular ocean patrol tasks you undertake fall on your shoulders. Before our large surface ships were put into service, such tasks were still very heavy. At the same time, I also believe that you can complete this glorious and arduous task. Brave sailors, you
Are you confident to accept this challenge?”
As soon as Zhang Shouye finished speaking, the sailors in front of him shouted loudly and uniformly: "When I live, my country will perish, and when I die, my country will survive."
"Okay." Zhang Shouye nodded happily, "Next, I will officially hand over the eight new submarines to you. I hope you will love them as much as you love your own life, and use them to make new contributions to our country.
, everyone, please get on the boat.”
Although these submariners have known and speculated about the new submarine countless times in the materials, they still felt extremely happy when they saw the real thing.
This is an "R"-class Romeo-class submarine improved from the later Soviet Union's Type 613 submarine. It has a displacement of 1,475 tons and 1,830 tons on the surface and underwater.
Compared with the German U-type submarine, it improved the performance of hydroacoustic equipment, added a water cooling system for the battery, increased the diving depth, used the snorkel status as the main navigation state to increase the speed, and adopted the method of converting reserve buoyancy into overload fuel
This method cleverly doubled the endurance and self-sustaining force. As a result, the power unit was not changed, and the underwater speed of the boat remained unchanged after the displacement was increased by improving the fluid power and propulsion characteristics. This made its
The voyage has reached 9,000 kilometers and the diving depth has reached 300 meters.
The adoption of this submarine is also the result of Su Tong's repeated consideration. At this stage, due to the lack of personnel in our navy, Chahar's navy is forced to take the road of building a quality army, and this submarine with the level of later generations in the 1950s is exactly the
It is within the acceptable range of today's navy sailors. If it is too advanced, it will be difficult for submarine sailors to master it, and it will also be too suspicious.
Seeing the soldiers entering their respective submarines under the leadership of their respective captains, but Long Yu did not move, Zhang Shouye smiled and walked to Long Yu's side and asked: "Colonel Long, why don't you lead the team down to see
Let’s look at the new submarine.”
Long Yu smiled and said, "They can be led down by the sergeant major. As for the submarine, you can see it anytime in the future, but you can't hear the teachings of Chief of Staff Zhang every day."
Zhang Shouye pointed at Long Yu with a bit of laughter and said: "How come you have learned how to flatter others by flattering them?"
Long Yu suppressed his smile and asked: "Master, tell me the truth. How much time did the superiors give us to get familiar with this submarine?"
After hearing this, Zhang Shouye stretched out a finger with a somewhat solemn expression.
"What a month?" Long Yu exclaimed in disbelief, "Is our time so tight? We can't even give us three months."
"Yes." Zhang Shouye nodded, "After the Japanese Navy suffered a big loss last time, it once again increased its investment in the navy. According to the report of our Investigation Bureau, they are now building two super battleships and three aircraft carriers.
.And their navy has also stepped up the blockade of our ports. Their ships often cruise outside the flight radius of our shore-based aircraft, thus blocking our surface ships in the inland sea, and they have to break through the Japanese ships.
The only blockade with the aircraft carrier is your submarine brigade. Time is tight and the task is heavy. Do you have the confidence of your submarine brigade?"
Long Yu gritted his teeth and stood at attention: "Report to the commander, the submarine brigade promises to complete the mission."
Zhang Shouye nodded happily, "Now the Japanese ships and aircraft carriers are operating outside the flight radius of our shore-based aircraft, cutting off our contact with the outside world. As a result, several batches of supplies that Germany originally wanted to enter Vladivostok through the water had to be
Detouring through the Guangzhou port before transshipping in is a great shame for all our naval officers and soldiers. I hope that in a month you can sink a few Japanese warships on the sea and severely attack their arrogance. Can you do it?"
Looking at Zhang Shouye's expectant gaze, Long Yu's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He solemnly saluted Zhang Shouye and assured loudly: "Please rest assured, our submarine brigade is designed to do this."
, when it comes to underwater ambush and ambush, that is our specialty. Just wait and see in a month."
Zhang Shouye patted Long Yu's shoulder and said, "Well, do a good job."
Not to mention that Long Yu and the others are taking the time to familiarize themselves with the new submarine and strive to form combat effectiveness as quickly as possible.
At this time, five hundred kilometers away from Peter the Great Bay, a fleet of warships flying the ointment flag was cruising on the sea. The flagship headed by it was a huge battleship, which was the battleship Fuso belonging to the Japanese Combined Fleet.
It belongs to Japan's first generation battleship. It was built at Wuxian Naval Shipyard. Construction started on March 11, 1912, and was launched on March 28, 1914. It was launched on November 10, 1915.
It was completed on August 8 with a standard displacement of 30,600 tons. It is now more than 20 years old and is already an older ship, so it is only now that it is assigned to carry out these relatively easy cruising tasks.
The commander of this fleet, Captain Ozawa Jisaburo, who is also the captain of the Fuso, is standing on the Cambridge in a straight navy uniform. He has been looking into the distance with a telescope for half an hour, but he still has not put down the telescope.
This strange behavior made Lieutenant Colonel Fukuda, the chief of staff standing behind him, feel very strange. He asked strangely: "Your Excellency, Captain, when you look into the distance like this, are you still looking at the Germans we expelled a few days ago?"
Merchant ship?”
Colonel Ozawa Jisaburo looked back at his chief of staff and said: "Fukuda-kun, what I am worried about is not the German warships, but the Chinese submarines. We have now blocked the Chinese sea lanes, and the Chinese must not
If they are willing to give up, they will definitely find a way to retaliate, and the only ships they can use are their submarines."
When he mentioned Chahar's submarine, Lieutenant Commander Fukuda couldn't help but shudder. After sinking the Japanese aircraft carrier Kaga, the submarine force of the Chahar Navy became famous. As the first submarine in the world
The UIXB ocean-going submarine equipped by Chahar, which sank the aircraft carrier, became world-famous. At the same time, it made the German submarine force, which had not officially debuted in the world, become popular in advance. You see, the apprentices are so powerful.
So wouldn’t the German submarine force, as the master, be more powerful?
After suffering such a big loss, the Japanese began to pay attention to the anti-submarine work that they had always neglected. This can be regarded as an unexpected gain for the Japanese Navy.
