Xu Rui said: "Although one submarine cannot kill all the ships with anti-aircraft guns in the Combined Fleet, as far as I know, most of the artillery shells in the Combined Fleet are stored on the replenishment ships. In other words, if I use a submarine to kill them,
The Japanese Navy's supply ship will then lose most of its artillery shells. At that time, not to mention anti-aircraft shooting, but also naval gun attack on the shore will become a huge problem."
After hearing Xu Rui's words, MacArthur's eyes lit up. Just as he was about to speak, Will Smith said: "It's easy for you to say. You only need one submarine, but the United Fleet has more than 300 warships. How can you?"
Can we guarantee that we can successfully enter more than 300 warships and pull out the teeth? This is simply impossible."
Xu Rui said: "I have my own way."
Will Smith choked back and said angrily: "I don't know what you can do, luck will not always be on your side."
Xu Rui said: "If Luck wants to leave, then I will drag him back!"
After hearing Xu Rui's domineering words, everyone was speechless. MacArthur said: "Okay, the debate is over. I think, at least, we can give Xu Rui a chance. If it succeeds, then our aviation losses will be greatly reduced."
, thereby gaining the initiative in this war.”
"Yes, my Pacific Fleet will fully cooperate with Xu Rui's operation." Nimitz also said. Obviously, the two US military chiefs still appreciate Xu Rui's adventurous spirit. Xu Rui's Tianma Marching Air Force
The tactics are very much in line with the American way of thinking.
Subsequently, MacArthur arranged the defense of Oahu. Generally speaking, the New Sixth Army was still on the front line, while the US military was deployed on the second line.
No one has any objection to MacArthur's obvious use of the Chinese as cannon fodder. Both Americans and Chinese understand that Americans are wealthy and do not care about money. The reason why they vigorously arm the Chinese Expeditionary Force is to reduce American casualties.
.
As for China, it is poor and weak. In order to win the war, it can only use human lives to fill the gap. Both sides tacitly agree on this cooperation model. Naturally, Liao Yaoxiang has no objection.
Man, Liao Yaoxiang really tried his best this time.
However, Xu Rui's brows furrowed because MacArthur wanted Xu Rui's third regiment to cooperate with the New Sixth Army to defend on the front line.
Xu Rui said directly: "The characteristics of the Third Regiment are mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare. If the Third Regiment is used for defensive warfare, the characteristics of the Third Regiment cannot be brought into play. Moreover, the Third Regiment also defends San Marino Island and is unable to mobilize troops to Oahu."
"
MacArthur was a little unhappy, and was dissatisfied with Xu Rui's approach of not wanting his troops to be used as cannon fodder. However, given Xu Rui's past performance and upcoming role, it was inconvenient to be too forceful. Anyway, it was only a regiment of troops, and it would not affect the overall situation.
, MacArthur gave up his original idea and gave up dispatching the main force of the Third Regiment to Oahu for defense.
The pre-war meeting finally ended. Xu Rui left the conference room. Just as he was about to leave, Liao Yaoxiang rushed up from behind and said, "Xu Rui, you really took too many risks this time."
Xu Rui said: "Commander Liao, in fact, war is composed of many accidents. If you don't give it a try, how can you know the final result?"
Liao Yaoxiang said: "Xu Rui, if you need any cooperation from our New Sixth Army, just ask. Although we have different political views, we are all Chinese and must be consistent in dealing with the outside world. We cannot let Americans laugh at us."
Xu Rui said: "Commander Liao, I like what you say. No matter what our relationship is at home, now we are in a foreign country. We should work together to show the prestige of the Chinese."
"Xu Rui, this time, you have found yourself an extremely difficult job. You searched for the Japanese supply ship among hundreds of enemy ships and successfully destroyed it. This is tantamount to pulling a tooth out of a tiger's mouth. It is too difficult. I really feel sorry for you.
You are sweating a lot." Liao Yaoxiang said.
Xu Rui said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs."
"Okay, I wish you success." Liao Yaoxiang said.
After Xu Rui broke up with Liao Yaoxiang, he immediately took Langya to the U.S. submarine base on Oahu, where he saw the dock where the U.S. submarines were placed, and met with Major James, the captain of the U.S. submarine.
James had been notified and knew that Xu Rui was going to command his submarine, so when he saw Xu Rui arriving, James came out to greet him and said: "Colonel Xu Rui, my name is James, welcome to your arrival."
Xu Rui didn't be polite to him and said directly: "Take me to see the submarine."
"Okay." James admired Xu Rui's character of not beating around the bush and going straight to the point. He immediately took Xu Rui into the dock and to the submarine, and said: "This is my Silver Hanyu."
Xu Rui looked at the submarine and saw that the submarine was not too big. The hull looked a little worn out. There were a lot of stains and seaweed on the hull, which should be the result of lack of maintenance. Xu Rui said: "This submarine's
The displacement is about two thousand tons."
James nodded and said: "Colonel Xu Rui, you are really an expert. The Silver Hanyu is one of the 'Little Shark' class submarines. It is also the most widely equipped submarine in the US military. Its performance has been tested in wars."
, very practical, with a maximum displacement of 2,424 tons, a total of 60 people, and weapons including a 3-inch deck gun, 4 machine guns, 533mm torpedo tubes, and a total of 24 torpedoes."
"How about the speed and diving depth?" Xu Rui asked.
"The Silver Hanyu can reach a speed of 20 knots on the surface and 8 knots underwater. It has a diesel-electric hybrid propulsion device. As for the diving depth, it exceeds that of most American submarines and can dive up to 90 meters." James said.
After listening to James' introduction, Xu Rui was very satisfied. It seemed that the performance of this submarine was pretty good, but it lacked maintenance and I don't know how effective it would be in driving it.
Xu Rui said: "Assemble your crew."
After a while, these submarine soldiers came from all directions to gather.
"Joseph, stop chewing gum. I've told you so many times but you won't listen!"
James came to a fat soldier and shouted.
The soldier took the chewing gum out of his mouth and pressed it into James' palm.
"Haha..." The soldiers burst into laughter.
James was so angry that he could not punch Joseph hard, but Joseph said: "Captain, if you really hit me, I will go to a military court to accuse you of abusing your subordinates."
James had no choice but to lower his fist again, and said bitterly: "I'll deal with you later."
"Well! Stephen, what the hell are you doing? Why don't you put on your clothes? Don't you know this is a gathering?" James pointed at a shirtless soldier who put his coat on his shoulders and said.
The soldier's chest actually had a huge wolf head embroidered on it, with a drop of blood dripping from under the wolf's fangs.
"Major, if I put on clothes, the tattoos on my body will not be visible, which will seriously damage my heroic image." The soldier raised his head and said.
"Do you think having a wolf's head on your chest can scare away the Japanese? What an idiot!" James yelled angrily.
"Mr. Captain, please be careful with your words. You cannot use words to personally attack me, a soldier who is loyal to the country."
"flutter!"
A noise came from the crowd, but it was a soldier who farted deliberately.
"Who put it there?" James shouted.
"Captain, it's me!" said a thin soldier.
"Carl, how could you fart on such an occasion?" James said.
"Report to Captain, I ate too much potatoes and beef for lunch, and I always feel like farting. I think I have my own right to fart."
"Ha ha……"
Another burst of laughter broke out.
James was completely speechless.
"Sergeant, are you new here? Why are your breasts swollen so high?" James pointed at a slender soldier with delicate features and said.
"Report to the captain, because I am a woman." After the soldier finished speaking, he took off his general's hat, revealing a head of beautiful long golden hair. Coupled with a delicate face and snow-white skin, this female sergeant turned out to be a big
Beauty.
"What the hell, why are female soldiers assigned to our submarine force?" James said.
"Haha..." These soldiers actually applauded, and some even whistled at the female staff sergeant. Obviously, they welcomed the arrival of the female staff sergeant.
In fact, there is no precedent for female soldiers on submarines. This is because the temperature inside the submarine is very high and the soldiers only wear underwear to work. It would be extremely embarrassing if there were female soldiers.
"Captain James, these are your soldiers?" Xu Rui asked.
James came to Xu Rui with an embarrassed look on his face and said: "Xu, they are all rubbish in the army, the most difficult to control. Because the Yinhanyu has never been on a sea combat mission, they were thrown into the Yinhanyu."
Number."
Xu Rui said: "I can see that your soldiers are a group of top-notch people, but I am very confused as to why you are responsible for managing these people."
James said with some embarrassment: "I just picked up a local Hawaiian girl during work hours, and ended up being assigned to the Silverfish."
Xu Rui was completely speechless. A major actually went to pick up girls during working hours. This was a serious violation of military discipline. Soldiers were exactly what they were like as officers.
Xu Rui took a look at these lazy submarine soldiers and saw that even if they were standing, they were all wandering around and didn't look like soldiers at all.
James said: "This is Colonel Xu Rui of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. In the next few days, he will be the commander of the Silver Hanyu. Everyone applauds and welcomes him."
"oh."
The soldiers immediately burst into sparse applause, and the fat man even yawned while applauding. Obviously, these soldiers didn't take Xu Rui seriously at all...
