It's a choppy. The vastness of the ocean. This is the eastern part of the Yellow Sea, south of Jeju Island, and is less than 50 nautical miles from the coast of Jeju Island.

Jeju Island is located at the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula, and after the annexation of Korea, Japan also established colonial rule on Jeju Island, and due to its geographical location, Jeju Island is also an important supply station for the Japanese Navy, and some Japanese naval ships will be moored here from time to time.

Now, fifty nautical miles south of Jeju Island, a warship is breaking the waves, and the flying clipper-shaped ship, the low bridge and the conning tower enclosure indicate that this is not an ordinary warship, but a submarine.

This is a submarine of the Chinese Navy. The "Shark-class" ocean-going submarine is the first ship of the "Shark-class" ocean-going submarine, the name of the ship is the "Shark", and the commander is Navy Lieutenant Commander Zhang Guangyang.

Unlike near-shore defense submarines. This "shark grade." The deck of the ocean-going submarine is equipped with a nai mm deck gun, therefore. When on the surface, such submarines can also attack targets with deck guns.

Now, Zhang Guangyang is standing in front of this deck gun, watching several sailors clean the chamber of the gun in preparation for the test firing of the gun.

Just two hours earlier, the Shark had connected with a supply submarine nicknamed "Big Guy" by the sailors, and then spent an hour quickly replenishing the Shark's much-needed deck gun shells and fuel.

The "big submarine" is actually an old ocean-going submarine made in the United States, this kind of submarine is far behind the development of the times in technology, and it is used to train officers and sailors in peacetime, and acts as an ocean-going supply submarine in wartime. The nickname of "big household" also comes from this, because of the strict training, therefore, the supply just now ended in less than an hour, and the shells and fuel needed by the "shark" quickly filled the cabin, and then, the "big household" quickly turned around and sailed in the direction of the Shandong Peninsula, and finished eating the "big household." The "shark." Continue to carry out combat cruising missions, freely choosing targets to attack on this vast sea.

In fact, long before the Air Force Task Force launched an attack on the Japanese army in Arthur, Zhang Chanyang and his "Shark" were already far away in the Yellow Sea, and as soon as the scheduled time for the war arrived, Zhang Guangyang immediately launched an attack on his first prey in the Jeju Strait.

It was a Japanese cargo ship, full of iron ore, and Zhang Guangyang had been following the cargo ship for hours, sailing at night. The night lights on the cargo ship were very clear, which made it easier for the "sharks" to be tracked, so that after dawn, the crew of the cargo ship was surprised to find that they had become the prey of a Chinese submarine.

When the captain of the Japanese cargo ship saw the flag sent from the Chinese submarine, "Our ship orders your ship to stop", out of instinctive contempt and the arrogance of the people of the Great Japanese Empire, the captain did not stop the ship, but ordered the crew to speed up the voyage, but the speed of the cargo ship was no matter how fast it was. It was impossible to be faster than a submarine sailing on the surface, so soon a shell hit and hit the waterline of the side of the cargo ship, and only then did the captain of the cargo ship be surprised to find that the Chinese were not joking with him.

At the same time, he also protested to the Chinese sailors who boarded and inspected the ship, clearly pointing out that the Chinese submarine's act of firing at the Japanese civilian ship violated international public opinion and was tantamount to declaring war on Japan.

However, when the captain of the Chinese submarine confirmed to the Japanese captain the suspicion that China and Japan were indeed at war, the Japanese captain immediately began to cry again, and he and his crew did not stop crying until he and his crew were escorted away from the cargo ship and loaded with two plates unloaded from the cargo ship.

After that, the Chinese sailors gave the Japanese crew a compass and some drinking water and food in a very civilized manner, and then pointed them out the right direction of the Korean coast, no matter how the Japanese captain protested, it was useless, and finally, when the Chinese submarine left at high speed, the Japanese crew reluctantly picked up the oars and sailed towards the nearest Korean coast.

The Japanese ore ship called the "Jeju Maru" was Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Guangyang's first official prey. Coincidentally, from then on, in the next few days, Zhang Guangyang commanded his submarine to intercept seven Japanese cargo ships in a row near the surface of Jeju Island, and without exception, all of them sank into the waves of the Pacific Ocean. The crew and captain were loaded on general boards and sent not far from the coast to be allowed to land, and the reason why the Japanese crew were not captured was partly because they were not military personnel, and partly because they were out of practical considerations. The submarine did not have so much space for these captives.

Zhang Guangyang's action quickly caused panic among the Japanese colonial authorities on Jeju Island, because most of the Japanese crew members who were attacked landed on the coast of Jeju and reported the activities of Chinese submarines, which caused many rumors that many captains did not dare to go to sea, and a large number of ships anchored in the port stayed in the harbor, and even Wang boats did not dare to go to sea to fish. The entire colonial economy on Jeju Island was rapidly in crisis, and the island's goods and raw materials could not be shipped back to Japan, and the islanders could not replenish the supplies and daily necessities that the islanders urgently needed, so that the Japanese colonial authorities had to issue an order forbidding the residents to talk about the "sea monsters", and began to educate the residents about submarines, and at the same time asked the Japanese naval authorities for help.

It must be admitted that there are two sides to everything. Although Jang Guangyang's sea hunting achieved the goal of destroying the Japanese economy, on the other hand, it was rampant due to the excessive activity in the sea around Jeju. This makes the source of prey less and less, and it is likely to cause the Japanese Navy to be alarmed, perhaps, the Japanese Navy's warships are now speeding up to Jeju Island, so Zhang Guangyang decided to accept it as soon as he saw it, left the waters of Jeju Island, and went elsewhere to hunt and read the latest Dong Jie on washing the stream book and drying the fine notch)" said Qi umbrella

However, before the voyage, this necessary supply is indispensable, not every day this captain is willing to cooperate with the actions of the Chinese Navy, in the process of intercepting the steamer, Zhang Guangyang did not less to the ship to greet shells, and at this time, it is always the happiest time for the sailors, they would rather send more shells to the Japanese steamer. He was also reluctant to get on the ship to open the sea valve and let the ship sink on its own, which directly led to the lack of submarine shells, and Zhang Guangyang had to stay in the waters of Jeju Island for an extra day to wait for the arrival of the supply submarine.

Now, now that the supply has been completed, Zhang Guangyang naturally gave the order to sail away. This time, the destination and hunting grounds of the "Shark" will be closer to the Japanese mainland, and Zhang Guangyang chose to target the Tsushima Strait, where there is more prey.

"Report to the captain! The deck gun is ready for firing! ”

A submariner walked up to Zhang Guangyang. He shouted two words loudly.

"Start the test firing, five shells, not many shots!"

Zhang Guangyang gave the order to test fire the deck gun with a straight face, and after learning from the lessons of the previous few days, he decided to restrain this group of overly excited crews, the Tsushima Strait is not as far away as the waters of Jeju Island, where it is too far away, and it is inconvenient for submarines to replenish, so of course this shell must be spared.

"Ready! Fire! ”

"Boom!"

"Ready! Fire! ”

"Poison!"

Amid the fire from the deck guns, some submariners who were not on duty and did not intend to rest stepped onto the deck for pleasure in watching the shells bloom on the surface of the sea.

Soon, the test firing of five shells was completed, and the submariners did not immediately return to the cabin, but continued to stay on the deck to blow the wind, and now the submarine is using diesel engines to charge the batteries in the battery compartment, as long as they do not encounter the enemy ship, they will not dive, so everyone wants to take advantage of this time to flow on the deck to cool down and breathe fresh air, this kind of wind release activity is conducive to the physical and mental health of the crew. Able to maintain combat effectiveness, so. Zhang Guangyang did not object.

However, the deck activities of the crew were soon interrupted by a terrible battle siren, and Zhang Guangyang heard the whistle of the sailors on duty, hurriedly walked to the top of the conning tower enclosure, and held the telescope to look into the distance.

On the eastern side of the sea, there was a faint puff of black smoke, which was the soot rising from the white smoke of the steamer, which could not be detected without careful observation, and the sailors on duty were stunned by the captain's verbal commendation.

"It looks like a warship. Command, get ready for battle! ”

Zhang Guangyang immediately gave an order, and the reason why he judged that it was a warship was because the soot was very light, and it was likely to use high-quality anthracite. This high-quality anthracite is usually used for warships and high-level mail ships, and now, the Sino-Japanese war has started, the Yellow Sea has been declared a war zone, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to have any high-level mail ships, the biggest possibility is a warship, as for whether it is a Japanese warship, this has to wait until the warship comes, but before that, the submarine must dive.

"All enter the cabin and get ready for battle!"

The captain quickly conveyed the captain's order. The submariners on the deck entered the cabin with a concubine. And closed the hatch, Zhang Guangyang was the last to enter the cabin, as soon as he entered the command cabin, he took off the navy soft hat on his head and gave the order to dive.

"Turn off the diesel engine and start the electric motor. The submarine dived to the periscope depth, sailed these two sections, and headed due east. ”

After the order was issued, Zhang Guangyang stood in the periscope and watched the submariners busy, and in the sound of mechanical friction, the submarine quickly dived under the surface of the sea.

After that, there was a long wait, Zhang Guangyang kept pulling from the periscope eyepiece to the sea, unable to hold back the excitement in his heart, fighting and cruising for so many days. He had never found a chance to fight the warship head-on, and now he wished it was a Japanese warship.

After the warship approached, Zhang Guangyang finally determined that it was a warship of the Japanese Navy, and according to the ship identification manual, he judged that it might be the Japanese Navy light cruiser "Kasaki", an old protective cruiser that had participated in the Battle of Tsushima.

"It's old-fashioned, but it's still a dish."

Zhang Guangyang quickly made up his mind to kill the light cruiser, so one order after another was issued.

"The submarine turns the rudder!" Keep heading. The speed was increased to seven knots, and the torpedo crews prepared the torpedoes! ,, target course, speed eleven knots. The submarine turns the rudder and maintains its speed and course! "The boat was reloaded with torpedoes, fired at intervals of two seconds, in turn.

Torpedo crews are equipped with torpedoes, maximum speed. Torpedo No. 1, azimuth, turn, torpedo No. 2, azimuth. Turnaround! Load the torpedo! "Ready. Launch! ”

"Phew"

"Phew"

Two heavy torpedoes were immediately fired, dragging a long wake and swooping down on the Japanese light cruiser "Kasaki" at a speed of forty knots.

More than ten seconds later, the crew of the submarine heard the first explosion, followed by the second, and there was a burst of cheers in the submarine.

"Float! Navigator, get my camera! ”

Zhang Guangyang quickly gave the order for the submarine to float. He then climbed the conning tower with his camera and ordered the submarine diesel engines to be activated and sailed to the sinking Japanese light cruiser, less than two hundred meters from the warship.

At this time, the Japanese light cruiser had broken off at the waist, and the ship was completely sunk, leaving only the ship exposed to the sea.

Look at the Japanese sailors struggling on the surface of the sea. Zhang Guangyang's face was expressionless, he knew that this was just the first real meal that his "shark" had eaten, and the Japanese merchant ships that had been captured before were just snacks, and in the future, this "shark" would eat more prey.

Sharks, after all, are blood-eaters.
