Dai Li's face suddenly changed slightly, cold sweat overflowed on his forehead, and said: "Commission, Zhang Xinghan has formed a very powerful special agent force, and there are many guards around him, so it is difficult for our people to have the opportunity to get close to him, so the humble post has been ...... this time, but the humble post has been trying to find a way to arrange suitable candidates." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Enough!" When Chairman Jiang heard that there was still no progress, he immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Dai Li, you must know that the Nationalist Government allocates so much funds to your Military Command Bureau every year, not for you to use it to raise pigs, I will give you another half a year, no matter what, you must find a way to get close to Zhang Xinghan and then kill him!" ”

As a good player in politics, how could he not know how difficult it was to get rid of Zhang Xinghan by assassination and other means.

In particular, Zhang Xinghan's current strength is no less than that of him, who has nearly one million central troops.

How can its security work be playful?

Dai Li suddenly secretly complained, but when he noticed Chairman Jiang's fierce gaze, he had to bite the bullet and say: "Yes, I will go all out to ensure that the task is completed." ”

………………

In Dalian, Lushun Military Port, in a secret harbor, fifty XXI submarines are quietly moored on the water.

On the shore, about 3,000 sailors had all assembled, and Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili, accompanied by Ives and others, had already arrived in front of the queue.

Among the 3,000 sailors in front of him, nearly 90 percent of the most outstanding performers will take part in the submarine force's expedition.

After more than half a year of training, with the continuous increase in the number of sailors, Zhang Xinghan has already added thirty more submarines to them, so now the total number of submarines in XXI has reached fifty.

Fifty advanced submarines that were more than a decade ahead of their time, so to speak, a generation, were in extreme secrecy that the enemy was completely unaware of their existence.

If you are unprepared, it will be an extremely terrifying underwater blade.

"Brothers, you are members of the first batch of submarine forces of the Chinese People's Corporation. It represents our 40,000,000 sons and daughters of the Chinese nation and our great Chinese nation.

I am proud and proud of each and every one of you, today, you will embark on the journey for the first time with the expectations of countless of us, hoping that you can fight bravely to kill the enemy, move forward, and win glory for the country!

Because in my heart, you are the omnipotent dragon and a sharp sword under the water, and I believe that you will be able to teach all enemies who dare to violate our territorial waters a hard lesson. Tell me out loud, can you? "Zhang Xinghan was doing pre-war mobilization for the first expedition of the submarine force, which was very necessary.

"Yes!" Three thousand sailors responded in unison.

"Very good, from today onwards, the code name of your unit is Jiaolong, the Jiaolong Task Force of the Northeast Naval Fleet, let's go!" Zhang Xinghan nodded with satisfaction and commanded loudly.

"Yes, mission guaranteed! Chinese sailors. Indomitable! The 3,000 submarine officers and men all stepped forward to respond, and then more than 2,000 sailors boarded their respective submarines.

As the chief instructor, Ives and a group of his subordinates also followed the ship, even though they were all British. Should not take part in the battle against the Japanese army.

But now their status is similar to that of mercenaries, and with the pressure from Alice's side, they have to agree to accompany them.

Actually, after more than half a year of getting along. Many of Ives and the others had already developed strong friendships with the sailors, and they were not worried about their rookies going to sea alone.

Alice's side was naturally the result of Zhang Xinghan's movements before he came, although Zhang Xinghan knew that he couldn't always count on outsiders.

But its own submarine forces have just been formed. Lacking actual combat experience, it is relatively better to have these British veterans to follow.

As long as they go through this battle, the officers and men will certainly make great progress, and it will be much better to carry out combat missions alone in the future.

At this time, the submarine force was more valuable than the air force pilots, and Zhang Xinghan had to be cautious.

One by one, the submarines slowly sailed out of the military port and soon disappeared into the sea.

Zhang Xinghan held up the binoculars and looked at them, and did not withdraw his gaze until they began to dive and completely disappeared from view.

Jiang Baili patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, let's go back." ”

At the same time, at the Dalian military airfield, dozens of Zero fighters rose into the air one after another and immediately flew south.

Leaving from the submarine base, Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others went directly to the headquarters of the 4th Group Army in Dalian.

In the coming days, they will all stay here to keep abreast of the latest developments in the submarine forces and the reconnaissance units of the Air Force.

………………

Two days later, in the vast East China Sea, a naval fleet flying the Japanese flag was heading in the direction of China.

On the sea, black smoke billowed from the chimneys of huge warships, a huge fleet of three aircraft carriers, four battleships and twelve destroyers, three cruisers, and five refueling and supply ships.

On the periphery of the fleet, there was also a group of warships with a tonnage of one thousand to two thousand and dozens of submarines serving as perimeter guards.

Commanding the operation was Vice Admiral Kawakumo, 1st Fleet of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet.

In the war room of an aircraft carrier, Vice Admiral Kawayun was discussing with a group of staff adjutants around the battle map about the air raid battle plan that had been deduced countless times.

According to the plan drawn up by Vice Admiral Chuan Yun and his subordinates before departure, after their fleet sailed past Suyan Reef, a total of 60 carrier-based fighters and 20 carrier-based bombers would take off from three aircraft carriers and fly to Nanjing to carry out air raids and bombings when they were about 100 nautical miles away from China's coastline.

Judging from the map, the Kawakumo fleet departed from Kagoshima and headed for the Chinese sea in a straight line.

"Your Excellency General, by tomorrow morning at the latest, we will be able to reach our destination, and then we will be able to launch an attack on Nanjing, the capital of the Chinese people, and avenge the death of our compatriots in the city of Tokyo!" A staff officer said to Chuan Yun with a smug face.

Lieutenant General Chuan Yun nodded slightly and said, "Yo Xi." Zhang Xinghan's headquarters of the Chinese army is hateful, if it weren't for the base camp's approval, I really want to lead you to the Yellow Sea and directly attack Dalian, Beiping and Tianjin, where is Zhang Xinghan's territory. ”

"Your Excellency General, the Kwantung Army, the army of the Northeast Frontier Army fought in Manchuria and Goryeo, suffered heavy defeats one after another, and hundreds of thousands of troops were lost, which shows the strength of their combat effectiveness.

The base camp is arranged in this way, and this may also be taken into account. A staff officer said.

"Hmph, that's the incompetence of the Kwantung Army, a bunch of waste, wasting the precious strategic resources and military spending of the Great Japanese Empire in vain.

The naval fleet of our Imperial Japanese Empire is invincible in all of Asia.

One of our cruisers can surpass one division of the army in firepower, and one battleship can destroy half of the county town of China.

As long as the base camp gives an order, we will definitely be able to teach Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Army a hard lesson. "Lieutenant General Kawayun apparently did not fight the Northeast Frontier Guards either.

So it has always been believed that it is not that the Northeast Frontier Army is too strong, but that their army is too incompetent.

"Your Excellency the General humbly believes that the air force of the China Army is still very strong, they can break through our layers of protection, and the direct air attack on Tokyo is a good proof, we should not be too careless, we should be careful to guard against the enemy's air force fighters, after all, we will soon enter China's coastal waters, to paraphrase the words of the China people, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years!" Another staff adjutant made a proposal.

Unexpectedly, Lieutenant General Chuan Yun was furious when he heard this, slapped the staff adjutant in the face, and scolded angrily: "Baga Yalu, you will disturb the morale of the army again, and you will die." ”

The staff adjutant was beaten, so he had to bow his head and admit his mistake, and he said hello repeatedly.

The others were immediately silent when they saw this, but although Lieutenant General Chuan Yun was angry, he was not carried away by the anger.

He said to his chief of staff: "Ono-kun, immediately pass the order, all ships are fully prepared for air defense, and the perimeter alert troops are also on alert, especially for the air!" ”

"Hay!" Chief of Staff Ono hurriedly bowed his head and led the way to the communication room.

Near the sea area about 150 nautical miles off the coast of Shanghai, more than 30 XXI submarines of the Jiaolong task force are scattered and slowly moving on the water within a radius of 100 nautical miles.

On either side of them, fifty nautical miles each, a dozen other submarines are also slowly moving forward.

Fifty XXI submarines lined up in an almost line-long snake formation, heading for the open sea in the sea area of more than three hundred nautical miles.

Such a wide sea area is enough for them to be vigilant, not to mention that on their left flank, there are still a large number of their own Zero fighters constantly conducting low-altitude reconnaissance flights.

More than 300 nautical miles, equivalent to a distance of 600 kilometers, their blockade area extends almost all the way from the direction of Hangzhou Bay to the direction of Yancheng in Jiangsu.

Such a wide distance is already a necessary place for the Japanese naval fleet, because no matter how far it is, unless the Japanese directly drive their warships to the coast, their fighters will not be able to reach Nanjing, and even if they go, they will not be able to return.

Without knowing that the Navy and Air Force of the Northeast Frontier Force were already involved, it was impossible for the Japanese Navy to take such an adventurous path.

Of course, in order to ensure that it would not pass by the Japanese naval fleet, the submarines of the Jiaolong task force followed an S-shaped line in advance.

Each XXI submarine has a patrol range of about fifty nautical miles, which is not a problem at all for them who have reached an underwater speed of 17 knots.

The Jiaolong Task Force had just arrived in the East China Sea after a two-day voyage, and of course, during the voyage, they used cruising speed, naturally in order to save more fuel so that they could gain a longer combat time.

PS: There will be a fourth shift before 12 o'clock. (To be continued......)
