Chapter 320: That's a Torpedo!
Wuxi is very close to Suzhou, and everyone knows that after the recovery of the state, the next step is to recover Wuxi, not Shanghai.
Little Japan had heavy troops in Shanghai, an independent mixed brigade, a newly formed 31st Division that had not been in place for a year or two, in addition, there was a 16th Division of the First Division, in addition, there was an Army Air Force (Shanghai Airport), and a garrison of several thousand people.
In addition to these Japanese troops, there are also 20,000 or 30,000 puppet troops, and the number of Japanese puppet troops in the entire Shanghai area exceeds 100,000.
The recovery of Wuxi is different, Wuxi is very close to Suzhou, and the new 6th Army happens to gather heavy troops in Suzhou, an armored division, a mechanized infantry division, and three infantry divisions.
Little Japan's strength in Wuxi is only the 101st Division, which is an ad hoc division with relatively strong combat effectiveness, but after all, there is only one division, and Ye Feng is fully capable of eating this division in a short period of time.
Ye Feng looked at the map and made a decision in his heart, anyway, if he wants to recover Wuxi, it is better to take the opportunity to act and order the troops in the area of Suzhou to go north to Guanghui Prefecture.
So, Ye Feng said solemnly: "Chief of Staff Guo, Deputy Commander Chu, you hurry up and formulate a combat plan, and we will recover Wuxi next." ”
There is really a big move, after listening to Ye Feng's order, Guo Weiquan and Chu Tianyuan glanced at each other, their eyes were full of surprise, and the two of them stood up with a "snap", stood up straight, their movements were uniform, they saluted a standard military salute, and said loudly.
"Yes!"

When the new 6th Army was preparing to attack Wuxi. When preparing to take advantage of the victory to recover Wuxi, a long fleet of ships was sailing on the East China Sea.
This is a fleet of several large transport ships. Each transport ship has a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons, and the plaster flag on the ship is flying high, which looks very arrogant.
The fleet was sailing from Southeast Asia, laden with supplies, towards the Japanese mainland. After the invasion of Southeast Asia, small Japan began to carry out frenzied plundering in Southeast Asia, and a large amount of supplies were transported back to the Japanese mainland through the fleet.
A transport ship of nearly 10,000 tons. A little Japanese in a black kimono with clogs and a small mustache. Sitting in the captain's room, with a few katana swords on the knife stand on the table next to him, the little Japanese was looking out through the transparent glass window, looking out at the blue sea.
A young pock-faced little Japanese. Kimonos are also worn. Wearing clogs. Ma Mian said with a courteous face: "Your Excellency Songpu, our fleet is loaded with thousands of tons of rubber and tens of thousands of tons of ore, and the journey is smooth, and in a few days, we will reach the country." ”
Toyoichi Matsuura has a strong military background, and the Matsuura family has a close relationship with the Japanese military. This time, so many supplies were transported. And it is still a military material that is urgently needed in Japan, so it can be seen that all this is not simple.
These supplies are very important for little Japan. Many large factories are waiting for these things to start, especially the tens of thousands of tons of iron ore, and some steel plants are in urgent need.
Little Japan's ambitions have been extremely inflated, and the country is producing at full capacity, manufacturing a large number of weapons and equipment, and even going all out to build some large warships, and at present, several major shipyards have battleships, cruisers, and even aircraft carriers under construction.
It was now 1940, and the Second World War had officially broken out, and although Japan had not yet officially started a war with the United States, Japan's top brass knew that a war with the United States was inevitable.
Hearing that he would be arriving in Japan in a few days, Toyoichi Matsuura said happily, "Yo Sai! This time, we have a great credit for transporting so many things back, Uchida-kun, and you will also have a great credit when the time comes. ”
Seeing that he also had a lot of credit, the courteous look on the pock-faced little Japanese face became a little stronger, and his heart was also full of joy
This large convoy of several large convoys sailed slowly on the sea, escorted by only two small gunboats.
On one of the gunboats, a devil Shaozo stood on the deck, holding a telescope and looking at the endless sea in the distance, looking, seeing that everything was normal, this devil Shaozo also put down his telescope with confidence.
It seems that the devil Shaozo is very relieved, little Japan has almost no opponents in the Pacific Ocean, the powerful US Navy has not started a war with little Japan at all, and the relatively powerful little Japanese navy is very arrogant, and such a large transport fleet is only escorted by two small gunboats.
No one noticed that it was not far from here, only a dozen nautical miles away, and a total of six submarines were sailing on the sea, driving opposite each other, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.
These six submarines are U-shaped submarines of the newly formed Sixth Army, which are sailing on the sea in formation, and the naval units of the new Sixth Army, based at the Zhoushan Military Port, have begun to take shape and have grown to a scale of tens of thousands of people.
At present, the naval units of the newly formed Sixth Army already have five major arms, including naval aviation, equipped with more than 100 aircraft of various types; Including the forces of surface ships, there is already a fleet; Including the coastal defense forces and the Marine Corps.
In addition, there is also a submarine force, equipped with more than 30 U-boats, which has formed a large submarine force, and the fighters often stay away from the port of Zhoushan and operate in the waters of the East China Sea.
The targets of the transport fleet of small Japan are relatively large, and relatively speaking, the targets of these submarines of the fighters are much smaller, and it is really difficult to find them at a long distance.
The soldiers first spotted this convoy of small Japan in the distance, and when they saw the plaster flags flying on each ship, the soldiers felt disgusted and disgusted when they looked at it, and under the command of several submarine commanders, these submarines dived one after another.
After diving to the periscope depth, the submarines raised their periscopes one after another, observed the small Japanese fleet from a distance, and waited for the small Japanese ships to sail over.
After some observation, everyone basically observed the situation clearly, a total of seven large transport ships, these transport fleets naturally have no threat to everyone, in addition to these seven large transport ships, there are also two small gunboats.
The small gunboat fighters basically did not pay attention, and after seeing all this, these submarines dived one after another, diving to the depth of firing torpedoes.
The target was mainly an ordinary transport ship, not a large warship, and the fighters felt very relaxed, and began to open the torpedo tubes without any scruples, and the gurgling sound of water filling the soldiers was not worried at all.
Everything was ready, and after a simple connection between these submarines with each other, preparations began for the launch of torpedoes.
Under the water, the communication between everyone is naturally not the use of radio short waves, the radio short waves in the water attenuation is very strong, under the water submarines between the use of radio communication is basically impossible, the connection between everyone is sonar.
The speed of sound propagation in the air is 340 meters per second, while in the water it is up to 1435 meters per second. There is an underwater communication sonar on our submarine, which can send sound wave signals of different lengths to the water, form a telegraph code, and can convert language and sound waves to talk, and everyone can communicate with each other underwater.
Everyone was ready to launch the torpedoes, and the little Japanese seemed to have no notice, but they continued to sail, and they were getting closer and closer to the positions of the submarines.
"Launch !!"
These submarines began to fire torpedoes one after another, and a few torpedoes went straight to the two gunboats of the little Japan, and the two small gunboats each had hundreds of small Japanese navies, which were naturally the primary targets of everyone, and in addition to a few torpedoes that went straight to the two gunboats, a few of them seemed to be heading towards those huge transports.
On the deck of the gunboat, the devil Shaozo was still looking at the surrounding sea from time to time, as if he was looking at this beautiful scenery, and his face was relaxed.
Suddenly, the devil's face changed greatly, his mouth opened wide, and his face was full of shock, because the devil saw two obvious tracks, obviously two torpedoes were coming towards his gunboat.
"Yaga! That's a torpedo!! ”
