Four days later, Jiang Shan and the Blood Blade Team appeared by Chaohu Lake in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The wind is gusting by the river, and the rivers and mountains are carefully hidden behind a bunch of troubled times. His eyes were fixed on the surface of the river, and there was a huge black shadow on it.

In mid-1939, in order to cooperate with the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese Navy light aircraft carrier Ryuchō, carrying 42 aircraft, went up the Shuojiang River, the main stream of the Yangtze River.

The Longxiang light aircraft carrier has a crew of 924 people, a standard displacement of 10,600 tons, a total length of 179.9 meters, a width of 20.32 meters, and a draft of 7.08 meters. The power plant is 4 steam turbines, 6 heavy oil boilers, with a total power of 65,000 horsepower and a maximum speed of 29 knots. The armament is 4 twin Type 89 127 mm L/40 anti-aircraft guns, 2 twin Type 96 25 mm anti-aircraft guns, and 6 quadruple 13 mm machine guns. 42 carrier-based aircraft.

In November 1929, the ship started construction at the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Yokohama Shipyard, and was named the Longxiang with the meaning of "Longxiang scales vibrating, no strong enemy in the past".

Frankly speaking, this light aircraft carrier, not to mention that it cannot be compared with such large aircraft carriers as the "Enterprise", "Yorktown", and "Lexington" of the United States, is not a heavyweight compared to the declining British Royal Navy's "Fury", and even if it is put together with Japan's own "Kaga", "Xiangyun", and "Shinano", it is like a pocket toy. But such a light aircraft carrier, which is in tatters and has lagged behind the world's aircraft carrier level for ten years, is also what the weak Chinese Navy needs to look up to.

I think that the dignified Beiyang Sailor, who was known as "Asia's No. 1", with the development and changes of the times, instead of continuing to be brilliant, has fallen to such an unbearable point. Jiang Shan's heart was bitter, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

During the Battle of Wuhan, Japanese planes took off from the Longxiang and carried out a large-scale bombing of the Chinese defenders' positions and military important places such as Wuhan and Chongqing. Because the Chinese navy was too weak to pose an adequate threat to the Longxiang, the weak Chinese air force, having almost lost all of its losses at the beginning of the war, was now resting at the rear airfield far from the battle line, unable to launch an air strike on the Japanese warships. The aircraft carrier Longxiang and the carrier-based aircraft it carried have almost reached the point of being unscrupulous and domineering. At times, the Longxiang even broke away from its own aircraft carrier battle group and cruised along the Yangtze River alone, bombarding the Chinese defenders along the coast with naval guns.

When Jiang Shan and the Bloody Blade team discovered the Longxiang, the steel monster happened to break away from its aircraft carrier battle group and advanced upstream alone, preparing to directly support the Japanese army in the Battle of Wuhan with naval guns. However, in the vicinity of Chaohu Lake, because the Chinese Navy used warships to sink in the river and blocked the shipping lane, the Longxiang, which has a large tonnage, could not continue to move forward for a while, so it had to anchor in place and use carrier-based aircraft to support the front.

Jiang Shan stared at the Longxiang and waited for a long time, and after confirming that there were no other Japanese ships escorting it, he couldn't help but think in his heart.

Now the Japanese army is extremely arrogant, and the navy is even more empty-eyed, and does not take the Chinese navy seriously at all. In their eyes, the so-called "warships" of the Chinese Navy are no different from small sampans, not to mention confronting the mighty and majestic Imperial Japanese Navy, even if they encounter a slightly larger lang, I am afraid that they will sink to the bottom of the river to feed the fish and shrimp.

If he could take advantage of the Japanese army's carelessness and lax defense, lead people to sneak into the Japanese warship, and make a ruthless attack on the key parts, the effect would be absolutely unimaginable. In this way, not only can it cause huge damage to the Longxiang, but also the aircraft carried on the Longxiang will no longer have a platform for taking off and landing. With the voyage of those lame chickens, it is tantamount to a fantasy to want to take off from an airport in North China and then go to support the front line in Wuhan. For the Chinese army, which has always been troubled by the air defense of the troops, that is too much help.

The more Jiang Shan pondered it, the more itchy his heart became, and the huge figure of the Long Xiang slowly turned into a big piece of fat in his eyes, with a tempting aroma of oil and clarity, just waiting for him to take a bite!

Although his heart was itching, Jiang Shan still knew clearly that for a special operations team like himself, the Long Xiang was still like a steel monster. You have to plan carefully and deal with it carefully. If you are not careful, you and the Blood Blade team will probably be reduced to powder under the steel giant teeth of the Dragon Horse, and there will be no scum left.

He gathered the members of the Blood Blade Squad and explained their thoughts, and after they explained their thoughts, several people's eyes turned red. These boys, usually all of them, are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they are even more desperate when they start a war. Now that there is such a tempting target in front of him, if he doesn't go up and bite it, he really can't stand the temperament of a few people.

It's determined that you want to fight, and how to fight must be summed up. If you want to clean up Longxiang on the shore, it is definitely impossible, you can only infiltrate and infiltrate the interior of the aircraft carrier to sabotage. Although the Longxiang has anchored, the anchorage is close to the center of the river, and there is still a certain distance from the shore. For the sake of safety, the Japanese army did not allow Chinese to approach the surroundings, and occasionally a fishing sampan approached the Japanese army's warning circle, not to mention a gun. It's not easy to get on board.

Several people observed in concealment for a long time, trying to find out the weak point of the Longxiang's defense. In fact, at a distance of about 100 meters from the shore, if you want to swim across the river with arms, it is not a problem at all with the water nature of a few people. The Falcon Special Operations Brigade usually trains armed swimming, and it only passes at 3,000 meters. The key is a few searchlights on the Japanese ship, which constantly patrol the river back and forth at night. The entire surface of the water was as bright as day, and it was impossible to swim across without being discovered by the Japanese sentries.

"It's really not good, I'll knock out their searchlights first, let's go through the dark!" Yaksha said through gritted teeth. At a distance of 100 meters, it is easy to knock out a few searchlights the size of a grinding disc.

"Stupid you! Isn't that tantamount to telling the devil that someone is coming to sneak attack? The scimitar slapped him on the head, "Go, go, squat, listen to the captain, the captain must have a way!" ”

Jiang Shan smiled and gave a thumbs up to the scimitar: "Okay, you squad leader, your ability to be lazy is getting higher and higher." ”

"Hehe, those who can work harder. You are the captain and you are the biggest. Little one, I'm looking forward to you. The scimitar said with a skinless and faceless smile.

Jiang Shan picked up a reed leaf from the ground, put it in his mouth, and said lazily: "Since we can't pass on the water, then let's go under the water." ”
