Chapter 40: Latent

The new ship and newcomers of the Pixiu naturally did not dare to be too reckless, and while training, they sailed, and finally arrived at the predetermined sea area on December 23, 38.

The reason why he arrived at this time was because Su Zizi sent a telegram. A convoy of merchant ships passed through the Panama Canal during the day on the 21st.

Su Zizi never returned to Uruguay in Panama. She found a good friend there, who took the initiative to provide intelligence for the Naval Resistance Army. This is a Chinese girl whose whole family is in Panama to make a living. And this girl happens to be working for the Americans at the Panama Canal Administration, and her job happens to be in telecommunications.

This girl's name is Lin Lili, and she is not only a messenger and receiver, but also a cryptographic expert. His hobby is to decipher messages. Her understanding of the telegram cipher is much higher than that of Su Zizi, a girl who became a monk halfway. Su Zizi then studied telecommunications in Panama. By the way, I am perfecting the five-stroke password. And Lin Lili is so strong, not only is she trying to crack the navy code, but she is also practicing cracking the pinyin code.

Now the communication code between Su Zizi and the Maritime Resistance Army is a copy of "Analects", and I don't worry about Xiao Yue instinctively cracking it for a while.

Intelligence shows that there are a total of eight merchant ships this time, including three of the 10,000-ton class, with a total tonnage of more than 50,000 tons.

This is a big fish, and after getting the information, the Maritime Resistance Army immediately got busy. Although the training is seriously insufficient, the fighters on the Pixiu have just mastered the most basic submarine subjects. But in the face of the battle, these people did not retreat and cowardly at all, whether it was Li Guang, Zheng Xuechang or Su Qing, they all decided to fight without hesitation.

Three ships, each fifty nautical miles apart. The Pixiu number is at the front, the pickup number is in the middle, and the playjp number, which acts as the logistics, is at the end.

The three ships stretched out for hundreds of nautical miles, and this arrangement means that even if the navy has warships, there is no way to catch up with it in any case.

There is no doubt that the main combat strength is played by the Pixiu, and as long as there are no problems with the Pixiu, then the whole force will be safe. The pickup is responsible for responding, and once the Pixiu misses, it can provide timely fire support or attract the attention of the army.

In the quiet potential sea water of the Pixiu, only the periscope was exposed, and the three observers took turns to fight, not daring to be careless for a moment.

It was Christmas and the weather in the Pacific Ocean was bad. Although it is not a stormy wave, it is also a rough wave. The weather became bad, and it was said that the navy would not be able to take off even if it had planes, and this was beneficial to the naval resistance forces, and the safety of the navy was greatly improved.

For this reason, Li Guang made timely adjustments, and the pickup truck approached the Pixiu for twenty nautical miles. Twenty nautical miles is a relatively safe distance for warships to observe with optical telescopes. Even on a sunny day, it's not easy to spot.

The plan for this attack was named Operation Gift-giving. It has two meanings, one is to strike hard at the book before the advent of the 39th year, and the other is to give a big gift to China's anti-Japanese war.

Considering that there was a warship escort, the target of this sneak attack was not set too high, and the robbery was not put in the first place, so it was the best to grab it, and if it couldn't, it would all be sunk.

In the past six months, Su Zizi and Lin Lili's work has been fruitful. The scale of the navy's escort was basically figured out. The fact that the Naval Resistance Force dared to attack without adequate training was inseparable from the intelligence work of these two girls.

The Navy has deployed one special cruiser and six destroyers on this central Pacific route.

In fact, this special cruiser can hardly be called an aircraft carrier, to put it bluntly, it is a ship that transports seaplanes, and its biggest role is not to transport aircraft, but to transport fuel as a supply for six destroyers. The six destroyers were divided into three waves to escort the merchant ships back and forth. There were times when a destroyer escorted the ship.

It was Christmas, and the westernization of the eastern country was quite serious, and it even celebrated Christmas, especially in the navy of the westerly wind. Su Zizi's intelligence showed that there was probably only one destroyer of the Yueben Navy escorting this time.

This is precisely the opportunity of the Naval Resistance Army, and it is also the best opportunity for the Pixiu to fight for the first time.

Li Guang was very satisfied with the Pixiu, but he was even more satisfied with the crew on the Pixiu.

The crew of the Pixiu had done a test. Everyone was placed in a dark cave for two days, and only those who could stay in the dark and silent for a day or two were absorbed into the submarine.

This is still a crooked idea for Li Guang, who once heard of a method of interrogating prisoners, isolating a person without sound and light. Even heroes can hardly carry it for a few days, and that wordless fear can even make people insane. In extremely quiet conditions, people can clearly hear their own breathing and heartbeat, and over time, this sound will be amplified and become a kind of torture.

Li Guang didn't dare to take this exam for too long, and even so, the pass rate was only fifty percent. At present, the 96 people on board have actually included all those who can pass this test in the Maritime Resistance Army.

But now the effect of this exam is beginning to appear, waiting in silence for dozens of hours, the soldiers should eat and sleep, very quiet. If it is seen by other armies, it will definitely think that this is a group of veterans who have been in battle. These people are too composed.

This is the third time that the Maritime Resistance Army has set up an ambush in this sea area. It's not that a few officers of the Naval Resistance Army are stupid, but the conditions don't allow you to change the sea area. Only this sea area can just block the merchant ships of Yuben.

On the vast sea, there are passages everywhere. In the sea three hundred miles from Panama, this is a node. Before that, it was too close to the coast that there would be American patrol boats even if there was no fleet of the Navy. And there are also shore-based aircraft that can threaten the naval resistance fleet.

However, if the merchant ships continue to go westward, with the increase of the voyage, the deviation of the course will be very large, even tens of nautical miles.

In that case, not to mention relying on periscopes, even large-aperture telescopes and radars will not be able to see merchant ships. Due to the weather, the current Pixiu can only see an area of seven or eight nautical miles during the day. At night, it's closer. Even on a clear day, it would be ideal to see 20 nautical miles away.

However, the Pixiu has a human detector with a unique skill, and Ji Keliang, who acts as sonar, and another listener can hear the ship's propellers for five nautical miles. If you change to an ordinary person, it is estimated that the sound signal will not be missed within two nautical miles.

In fact, for submarines, if they sneak up on merchant ships, the best area is, of course, to continue westward, deep into the Pacific Ocean. But in that case, the tactics would have to be changed, and of course Li Guang knew about Germany's most famous submarine tactics in World War II - wolf packs. But the problem is, now wolves are not packed.

If Li Guang was allowed to ambush farther away from the coast, it would be easier to escape after completing the ambush. In the vast sea, as long as it is out of the sight of the ship, it is considered safe, and not the opponent's aircraft must be considered as it is now.

At present, the Maritime Resistance Force does not have this condition, and unless a submarine has an outbreak of character, it is possible to find a merchant ship in the central waters of the Pacific Ocean. Therefore, even if there were some risks, Li Guang still chose the ambush site in this sea area.
