The waves beat hard against the hull, causing the destroyers, which were less than 4,000 tons, to sway slightly. Several powerful searchlights on the port were unable to scan back and forth on the sea surface, and the light of the searchlights slowly swept.
The speed also gradually slowed down, and finally it was fixed on the sea surface in the middle without moving.
In an inconspicuous area of the sea not far from the searchlight, a dark tube quietly poked its head out from the bottom of the sea. After a slight change of direction, it was seen that the mirrored end began to rotate around, like a tube.
Curious elf.
Ten meters deep from the sea surface, six long and narrow steel monsters are quietly lurking. They seem to have been lurking here since ancient times, as if they are quietly waiting for something.
Long Yu, who was wearing a hat crookedly, was lying in front of the periscope and observing the situation on the sea attentively. There was no sound in the submarine, only the low roar of the diesel engine coming from the tail of the submarine. That was the submarine being charged through the ventilation pipe.
At this time, Long Yu's shoulders were no longer the captain of the original 23 cent colonel, but the commander of the Chinese submarine force who carried a gold star. As the size of the submarine force continued to expand, the number of submarines and personnel also continued to increase.
By late November 1940, the size of the Chinese Navy's submarine force had reached six brigades and more than two hundred submarines. The submarine force's footprints had spread all over the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
They can be found in sea areas and even as far away as the Bering Strait.
Today's operation originally did not require Long Yu, the commander of the submarine force, to take part in person, but for Long Yu, who has been sitting in the office for half a year, it is really intolerable that such a big operation does not involve him. So, in
With Mu Yu's somewhat depressed eyes, Long Yu deprived Mu Yu of his rights and became a guest captain.
"Record, the enemy ship's position is 037, 126, there are three destroyers, and the remaining two small-tonnage cargo ships."
"Order the torpedo commanders of each submarine to start inspecting the torpedoes, pre-position the torpedoes at a depth of five meters, and distribute the boats in a fan shape with me as the center, and launch an attack on time at 6:30 in the morning."
"Mu Yu has measured the retreat route. Once the torpedoes are fired, the boats are not allowed to stop and retreat immediately."
After a series of orders were issued, the steel monsters that had been quietly lurking on the bottom of the sea began to move slowly. They were like ancient monsters with open mouths, quietly lurking next to their prey, ready to kill the prey in front of them at any time.
tear into pieces
This is Sakhalin Island, which was historically a territory of China. Tsarist Russia forced the Qing government to cede the island through the Sino-Russian Peking Treaty of 1860. In 1918, the Japanese occupied Sakhalin Island through military means.
The whole territory.
Sakhalin Island covers an area of 76,400 square kilometers. It is located in the east of the Amur River estuary in Heilongjiang Province. It faces the Sea of Okhotsk to the east and north, and is separated from the Khabarovsk border of Russia by the Tatar Strait and the Neverskoy Strait to the west.
The districts face each other. To the south are the Soya Strait, which is called La Perouse Strait in Russia, and opposite Cape Soya in Hokkaido, Japan.
It is said that Su Tong has been interested in Sakhalin Island since Jeju Island was attacked by Japanese planes. Sakhalin Island was originally China's territory. In Su Tong's view, his 76,200 square kilometers of land ensured that this place was
An excellent place to station troops. Although it is located in the Pacific Rim Seismic Belt with frequent earthquakes, and the extremely cold climate is not suitable for large-scale living, it is an excellent naval base.
It can be seen from the world map that once the Chinese government captures Sakhalin Island, the entire west, south and north of Japan will be surrounded by China on three sides.
Although Su Tong shouted the slogan that Japan should pay 30 million U.S. dollars in compensation after the air raid on Jeju Island, Su Tong knew that according to the Japanese virtues of buttoning buttholes and licking fingers, he would not pay this amount of money under any circumstances.
So on the one hand, he ordered the East China Sea Fleet to sail to Jeju Island to confront the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet, setting up a decisive battle posture. On the other hand, he ordered the Pacific Fleet to prepare to recover Sakhalin Island.
The staff of the Pacific Fleet learned from prior reconnaissance that because Sakhalin is not a very habitable island, with only about 300,000 residents on the 76,400 square kilometers of land, the Japanese placed it here.
Their army is only a brigade of more than 6,000 people, and they have very few heavy weapons. With the strength of the Pacific Fleet, they can take over the entire island.
Therefore, Chen Shaokuan specially mobilized a marine brigade and an armored division to carry out this campaign.
The sky was gradually getting brighter. Private First Class Kichijiro Kojiro climbed down from the cold bed, came to the side of the ship on the deck and stood up, and began to fertilize the fish in the sea. Kokijiro Kojiro is a soldier on the destroyer "Tokuyama Maru"
Ammunition hand, this is a very leisure position. Well, yes, at least when there is no war, it is a very leisure position, but this does not mean that little Kichijiro is very relaxed on weekdays. Little Kichijiro was born in a poor family.
Every morning, he had to help his companions clean the deck in exchange for a salary of one yuan per month. Yes, this was Kichijiro's part-time job. And Kichijiro was able to grab this job because most of the sailors on the destroyer were
They went ashore to have fun, including the sailor who was supposed to clean the deck. Yes, in this season when it starts to get cold, only a ghost would be willing to sleep in a four-story "pigeon coop" that is damp and cold.
Wouldn't it be happier to go ashore and find a flower girl to hug them, drink and sing?
After putting away the food that had been simmered all night, and shaking the little guy who was exposed to the early morning air, Miss Jiro took out the half rice ball saved last night from his pocket and started to eat it in the cold wind. Although the ship was full of people after a while.
Breakfast is served, but the flavored soup that is so bland that you can make out a person's shadow and the rice balls that are no bigger than your fist can't cope with the high-intensity physical work in the morning. As for asking for more if you don't have enough, that's what the officers eat in the dining room.
The rights that officers can only enjoy, the big soldiers like them can only squat on the deck to eat.
Young Kichijiro, who was born as a fisherman in Hokkaido, has been used to hardship since he was a child, so he is not dissatisfied with the life in the army. His monthly allowance of three yuan is sent back to his hometown to save for his old mother.
Last month, my mother wrote a letter saying that when little Kichijiro retires and returns home in March next year, he will be able to save enough 100 yuan. At that time, he can propose marriage to the father of Miss Mitsuko in the village. Mitsuko is the most diligent girl in the village. And she is ten
Eight-year-old Mitsuko is also known for her good temper in the village. The only bad thing is that her father is too greedy for money. He has already made it known to the village that no one can marry his daughter without a hundred-yuan gift.
.
"Mitsuko, just wait, I will retire in less than four months. At that time, I will go to your house with one hundred yen to marry you." Thinking of this, little Kichijiro's heart began to heat up.
He swallowed the last bite of the rice ball with force, took out a rag, mop and a splash of water from the small storage room on the side, and prepared to start a new day's work.
On the seabed more than a thousand meters away, a clear command was being issued: "Aim at the intended target, fill the torpedo tube with water, launch No. 1, launch No. 2, launch No. 3." Following the command, the submarine shook slightly, and a sound
White waves burst out of the submarine.
"Sakura, cherry blossoms." Kichijiro bent down and sang, and was about to start working. He suddenly noticed that there seemed to be several white trails rushing towards him at a distance of 400 meters.
Little Kichijiro, who originally thought he was a firework, stretched out his hand to rub his eyes, then opened his eyes again and stared ahead. Yes, there were several white trails, and behind them there were waves of white foam.
That's that's legendary
"Torpedo attack" a shrill cry echoed in this quiet morning.
The stumbling little Kichijiro ran to the cab of the bridge and sounded the alarm regardless of the astonished eyes of the first officer in the cab.
The "woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Sai Wor Sai feardevouring to the old destroyer.
Little Kichijiro felt as if he had been punched hard. His body flew up and his head hit the hull of the ship. He felt that his vision went dark and he didn't know anything.
The destroyer "Tokuyama Maru" was like a toy kicked by a naughty child. It was instantly shocked by the strong explosion shock wave more than ten meters high in the air. It was broken into three pieces in mid-air and then fell heavily to the ground.
hit the sea surface at the same time. Hit by three 533mm heavy-duty torpedoes at the same time, the destroyer "Tokuyama Maru", which weighed just over 3,000 tons, was as fragile as if it were made of paper. From being hit to sinking
In less than three minutes at sea, a destroyer disappeared on the sea. The only evidence that it ever existed was the spilled oil and scattered garbage on the sea.
At this time, two destroyers from two foreign countries also followed in the footsteps of the "Tokuyama Maru", and "rumbling" explosions occurred one after another on the sea. When the three destroyers in the port sank to the bottom of the sea one after another, the shrill alarm sounded in the port.
It sounded like it was long overdue.
The entire port was boiling like a boiling pot. Groups of Japanese soldiers who were awakened from their sleep by the loud explosions ran out of various houses in the port in disheveled clothes. They could only watch the last wave on the sea not far away.
The craft of a destroyer circled the sea several times with nostalgia, and was finally pulled mercilessly into the cold seabed by the huge whirlpool. Only the soldiers on the shore were left with their mouths open like yawning hippopotamuses.
