Ren Tianyang has been living quite freely recently, and thanks to Lin Lili's intelligence support, the attack has been extremely smooth every time. In just over a month, 14 merchant ships have been sunk. There was a score in almost every two or three days, and with the addition of a submarine that had been sunk before, Ren Tianyang's results had been equal to Ji Keliang's two sorties.

Due to injuries to the Pickup and Baxia, they were forced to return to the Stone Statue Island for repairs. Ren Tianyang couldn't support it for such a long time, and before the pickup and the Baxia returned home, Ren Tianyang played a trick. He was really reluctant to go back and hand over the submarine to Ji Kelian. He boldly unloaded more than 100 barrels of diesel fuel and a lot of supplies on a deserted island in the South China Sea.

No one found these supplies for a month, but after Ren Tianyang was replenished, he calculated the fuel and decided to do it again before returning home.

In just two months, the guerrillas led by Su Qing developed rapidly in Hainan. Now there are more than 200 people training in the mountains and forests. The mountains and forests on Hainan Island were dense, and Su Qing's guerrillas were like fish in water, and three or five people could form a small detachment to go out to attack, and the results were very good in two months. And with the help of Lin Gucheng, there is already a fairly good mass base.

Saying that it is quite good is actually modest, Su Qing is now a person with two wives. The girl of the Miao family was warm and generous, Su Qingchang was tall and handsome, and soon captured the hearts of a bunch of twin daughters of the local Miao family.

Li Guang's tricks of mingling with the masses were useless, Su Qing quickly became one with the people of Hainan in the way of "harmony", and truly became a family. It seems that the troops and the masses are all in one, and what Li Guang has learned from the textbook is very incomplete. And Su Qing's guerrilla force has the meaning of carrying forward the "harmony", and many fighters soon have a crush. It's normal to think about it, originally most of Su Qing's subordinates were Guangxi soldiers, and their customs were similar. After several years of training, these fighters are also well-nourished, physically strong, and have extensive experience overseas, which naturally has a considerable attraction for Hainan girls.

There is a proverb in Hainan that an old lady climbs a tree faster than a monkey. Su Qing's troops were an eye-opener in Hainan, receiving many local soldiers, and the survivability of the jungle was further improved. However, the unit is still in the stage of training and adaptation, and cannot undertake major combat missions, but with the support of the local people, the intelligence collection is very good. It is said that every move of this naval port cannot escape Su Qing's detection.

On 7 November, the army increased its troops on Hainan Island in a big way. Immediately attracted Su Qing's attention, this is absolutely abnormal, there were no more than 10,000 troops on Hainan Island, and he said that he had increased his troops by tens of thousands, and he definitely had a big action, so he immediately notified Ren Tianyang.

Aircraft carriers, destroyers, light cruisers, heavy cruisers, troop carriers, everything. After Ren Tianyang got this information, his eyes lit up.

From January to August 1939, the Chinese army successively occupied Hainan Island, Shantou, Shenzhen and other places on the southeast coast of China. Nanning, the capital of Guangxi Province, is located at the end of the Guiyue Highway in China.

At this time, the base camp of Yueben, because the early temptation to occupy Hainan was not strongly resisted by the French, and now decided to go one step further - to capture Guinan and cut off the transportation artery from Vietnam to Chinese mainland.

This time, the army moved very quickly, and the Fifth Division was transferred from the northeast in less than 10 days. The Taiwanese mixed brigade was also quickly arrived from Shanghai. This kind of strategic adjustment of military strength is beyond the reach of the Chinese side. Without a navy, it would be difficult for China to complete such a rapid readjustment of forces.

In charge of commanding the Japanese army was Toshiyoshi Ando, commander of the 21st Army of the invading army. In order to keep secrets, he secretly assembled the 5th Division, the Taiwan Mixed Brigade, and the 5th Fleet at Yulin Port in Sanya, at the southern tip of Hainan Island, and waited for their dispatch.

Historically, after the fall of Hainan Island, neither the Chinese forces nor the G guerrilla forces had even a radio station, and Hainan was actually isolated from the mainland. Now, due to the presence of Su Qing's guerrillas, the information was transmitted back to Guangxi as soon as possible.

However, the situation in Guangxi, which received the information, was actually extremely unoptimistic, and the Guilin camp with Bai Chongxi in name was responsible for commanding the overall situation. However, since Guangxi was located in the rear of the main battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War, there were not many troops that could fight. Guangxi and Guangdong are all local troops here, not to mention poor equipment, and some division commanders and regiment commanders have no battlefield experience. The elite troops of the Gui family are now in the Fifth War Zone, and Xia Wei, the commander of the 16th Group Army, the caretaker unit left by the Gui family, was just transferred to the commander of the 11th Group Army at the beginning of the month for various unknown reasons, and Xia Wei is now sulking in his hometown.

The troops with the most combat effectiveness in Guangxi were leaderless. When he received a telegram from the Naval Resistance Army, Huang Shaohong immediately went to Bai Chongxi to discuss countermeasures, but Bai Chongxi was holding a meeting in Yucheng at the moment.

By the time Bai Chongxi returned to Guangxi, it was already a matter of 12 November, and he had been delayed for four days in vain, and by the time Bai Chongxi adjusted the defense of the troops, the situation was already quite urgent. On the thirteenth, the army had already begun a large-scale attack on the fortified city at the exit of Qinzhou Bay.

At this time, Ren Tianyang had been in the waters of Sanya for a few days and had not found a chance. This time, the Naval Resistance Army encountered an old adversary, and the fleet responsible for escorting and transporting the army was still the Fifth Fleet.

However, now that the strength of the Fifth Fleet has been strengthened, first of all, the United States has cut off trade with Yuben, and there are no more merchant ships, so the escort fleet is naturally not needed, and as a result, the escort fleet has been sent to Hainan. (The U.S. has not stopped trading oil in Ben.) ）

The Fifth Fleet of the Navy, which was originally the lowest in strength among several fleets in the Navy, was sunk seven warships in a row in 39 years, and was already regarded as a wrecked fleet in the Navy.

The former commander of the fleet, Nobutake Kondo, was promoted to vice minister of the Admiralty because of his meritorious service in the capture of Hainan. He was succeeded by Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro. Chief of Staff Tabun Yamaguchi, because he shared many of Yamamoto's operational concepts, especially his understanding of the United States, was closer to Yamamoto Isoroku, and as a result, he was transferred out of the Fifth Fleet and is now the commander of the First Combined Air Force.

At the beginning of September, the Maritime Resistance Army sank a submarine (the army believes that it was two) and a light cruiser of the Fifth Fleet.

Nobutake Kondo was still nominally the commander of the Fifth Fleet at the time, but in fact he had already returned to his roots. Although Takasu Shiro had already been appointed commander of the Fifth Fleet, because the Fifth Fleet was too weak, he fought in the Admiralty and asked for strength. It wasn't until the end of September that he actually took over.

As a result, the results of the Naval Resistance Army, that is, the battle losses of the Fifth Fleet, were shirked back and forth by the two commanders before and after.

The loss of several warships is not a trivial matter, especially since the light cruiser Tenryu was sunk in an open naval battle, and it is difficult for the Navy, which is good at making excuses, to justify itself, and it is a shock to the entire Navy, and even the domestic political arena.

Kondo believes that it is caused by Takasu Shiro's procrastination, while Takasu Shiro believes that he has not yet taken over and cannot be considered his fault. Dog-eat-dog didn't come to an end.

In the end, Ren Tianyang was cheaper, and the attack in Southeast Asia was like a no-man's land, and he did not even encounter a single military warship or submarine.

The dispute between the two vice admirals finally came to an end, and Kondo Nobutake's qualifications were much higher than those of Takasu Shiro, and this was the strength of the Samoto Navy, which was very serious in terms of seniority. In the end, it is estimated that the two sides have a secret agreement, Takasu Shiro took over the black cauldron, and Kondo Nobutake used his power to supplement the Fifth Fleet, and Takasu Shiro is now not only the commander of the Fifth Fleet, but also the commander of the Second Dispatch China Fleet with the Fifth Fleet as the main body.

This time, the Navy cooperated with the 21st Army of the Army, and Takasu Shiro used all the main forces of the fleet. A total of five teams (equivalent to the Army's wing level)

9th Sentai - Myoko, Nagara cruisers.

10th Sentai - Tenryu, Tatsuda light cruiser. (The Draco has been sunk.) ）

5th Mine Squadron - Yubari Light Cruiser, 3rd Destroyer? The 16th Expulsion Squad? 23rd Expulsion Squad

3rd Air Force - Kamui Maru, Kamigawa Maru seaplane carriers. (Originally, there was also the Kakumaru, which had already been sunk.) ）

The 4th Air Force - Noto Lu, Kinugasamaru seaplane carriers.

Judging from the deployment of the fleet, Takasu Shiro and Kondo Nobutake are quite different, and they did not use submarines at all, mainly because the submarines of the Fifth Fleet are too poor and old, and they strike at two ends in three days, and they have more time for maintenance than they do for patrols. Moreover, Takasu Shiro, a veteran naval officer, did not look down on submarines at all, and in his opinion, it was effective against submarines or destroyers.

Under the impetus of Yamaguchi Tashiwen, the destroyers of the Fifth Fleet were the first fleet in the Yamamoto Navy to be equipped with active sonar. And Takasu Shiro couldn't say that he wasn't careful enough, and used a whole fifth mine squadron of ten warships to guard against a sneak attack by the submarine of the Maritime Resistance Army.

Takasu Shiro has already carried the black pot for others, and now the fleet can not be pushed down by others if there are losses, so the defense of Yulin Port, whether on land or sea, is very tight. Even Takasu Shiro on Weizhou Island is also very vigilant, as long as it is a water aircraft carrier trip, or a cruiser trip, there is always a group of destroyers to escort it.

Ren Tianyang was very depressed, and wandered around the Pixiu outside Yulin Port for five days, but did not find the slightest opportunity. Then Ren Tianyang was unwilling and aimed at Weizhou Island again.

After a day of reconnaissance, there were not many warships on Weizhou Island, but there were a group of small gunboats or torpedo boats. There are more than a dozen of these small ships, and they patrol quite frequently.

Don't look at this kind of small ships, the Pixiu really has no effective means of dealing with them, these small ships patrol not far away, but the ships are arranged in a staggered manner, and it is obvious that they are aimed at submarines. The Pixiu can sink one, but it is about to fall into the realm of being hunted down.

Ren Tianyang was almost counting the time with his fingers, the supplies on the Pixiu were not abundant, and the return voyage still needed to cross thousands of miles of sea borders.
