When the Pixiu left Guangxi, there were still 65 people on board. Seven new faces, one of them is Li Guang's new guard squad leader Yang Weiwu. The other six are newly recruited sonar recruits.

During this trip to Guangxi, Li Guang got a piece of news. In the Battle of Wuhan in 38, the Chinese Navy and Air Force made great contributions to the battle of Tianjiazhen. The bombing, sinking and damaging one cruiser, two destroyers, and more than 10 shallow gunboats were a rare victory for the Chinese army since the war began.

This time, the navy and the air force joined forces, and all the torpedoes used were provided by Li Guang. It seems that the Navy was not idle, and after getting the torpedo, it was training until September 38. Although the results of this battle were brilliant, the losses of the Chinese army were also extremely heavy. All the heavy artillery of the navy on the Tianjiazhen battery was bombed, and the air force lost 60 or 70 fighters. After the Battle of Wuhan, the Chinese Navy no longer has a single warship, only boats. That is to say, all ships of more than 500 tons were sunk.

However, the Navy did not continue to order torpedoes, presumably due to the lack of ships. And the Air Force did not order torpedoes either, but for some reason. Maybe it's because of the low cost of the bombshell.

Li Guang couldn't figure it out, but he knew that it was absolutely incorrect if it was only from the perspective of cost. Bombs are dropped from a high altitude and can only explode points, while torpedoes are fired from the water, and the deterrent range is a line. The difference between the dots and the line is huge, and the attack effect is absolutely incomparable.

Now Li Guang, Ren Tianyang, Ji Keliang, and Quan Yonghai are making battle plans in front of a map.

China's infrastructure is weak, and even the map is very incomplete. The map of Weizhou Island in front of me turned out to be drawn by the French.

The attack on Hainan was called "918 in the Pacific" in China's foreign propaganda, and this propaganda was in essence a request for foreign interference. Hainan Island is under Chinese administration, but it is actually under the influence of France. For example, there is a church built by French missionaries on Weizhou Island. In this era, China can only be conceptually unified, and Chairman Chiang will not be able to achieve the true unification of government decrees and sovereignty at all.

It would be incorrect to say that the top brass was completely brainless, such as the aggression against the southern coast of China, and all military operations were also influenced by the British and American countries.

The most obvious is Hong Kong, which has been China's main source of supplies for more than a year since the war began. If you can't cut off China's import channels, of course the devil is very anxious, but considering the power of Britain, you don't dare to move Hong Kong at all.

Now that he has found that a quick victory is impossible, don't look at the devil's mouth and not admit it, but the high-level also knows that in essence, the war between China and China has entered the stage of stalemate.

Since it is a stalemate, it is already a dream for the devils to advance by leaps and bounds militarily. Then he could only adopt the tactic of consuming China, so in 38 the army bypassed Hong Kong, took Guangzhou, and cut off Hong Kong's supply channels.

And now that the army is occupying Hainan, one is to further test the bottom line of European and American countries, after all, Hainan is also considered to be France's sphere of influence.

The second is to cut off the sea passage in Guangxi.

The third is to obtain rubber and iron ore from Hainan Island.

Due to the lack of intelligence, even Huang Xuchu could not get the relevant information about the occupation of Hainan by the Japanese army, and it was even difficult to figure out the number of his opponent. Intelligence in war is definitely not like a fiction movie, it is actually very difficult to get. For example, after the Chinese army attacked Hainan and cut off the Qiongzhou Strait, Hainan Island had actually become an isolated island, and there were very few radio stations on the island, so there was no way to convey information at all.

However, the officer Huang Xuchu found for Li Guang still affirmed one point, that is, the army had at least one aircraft carrier.

This officer still played a great role, he himself was a native of Weizhou Island, and he was very familiar with the terrain on the island, and helped Li Guang confirm that if the navy was stationed on Weizhou Island, then the only possibility was Nanwan Port in the south of this small island.

The area of Weizhou Island is small, like an oval baked cake, while the southern part seems to have been bitten into it, forming a harbor. For Pixiu, it doesn't take much time to make a turn.

There is so much intelligence, Li Guang's tactic is very simple, that is, patience.

That night, the Pixiu lurked in the sea outside the South Bay Harbor. The lurking location chosen by the Pixiu is very subtle. It is only three kilometers from the entrance to the port. However, it is not directly facing the exit, and its position can fully control the entry and exit of the ship.

However, it is difficult to accurately grasp the specific situation in the harbor.

Since Li Guang got on the Pixiu, he likes bad weather, preferably rainy days. It's a pity that this time the weather is not beautiful, the night is like water, and the sunny can't be clearer anymore.

The devil is not careless, and the defense is tight, but he never dreamed that on such a beautiful night, there would be a behemoth peeking at Nanwan Harbor.

Some things are wonderful. If Li Guang knew who his opponent was, he would definitely shout good and take revenge. Last time at Midway, Li Guangke was in danger of being chased by the Fifth Fleet.

And if the commander of the army on Hainan Island knew about it, he would definitely say: "Why am I so unlucky? ”

The commander of the Hainan Island Army was none other than the commander of the Fifth Fleet, Nobutake Kondo. A few days ago, Ji Keliang attacked the merchant ships in succession, and in fact, Nobutake Kondo received a telegram, but ignored it.

Kondo Shintake can be a lieutenant general, and the combat level is unknown, but the level of being an officer is still very high. As soon as I received a distress telegram, I immediately made a judgment. His judgment was not based on the war situation or the interests of the book, but from the perspective of being an official. His judgment was that if he took over, it would be an absolute mess.

Kondo Nobutake is still a little self-aware, since the chief of staff of the Fifth Fleet, Yamaguchi Tashi, is also going to be deflated when he escorts ships in the Pacific Ocean, then he is afraid that Vice Admiral Kondo will not be able to play the difficult work of escorting.

To put it bluntly, the Navy and the Army are the same. In the face of China, we will fight a tough battle and win one game at a time, but we will lack the means to deal with guerrilla warfare.

Nobutake Kondo was old enough in the navy, and after many activities, he was finally able to fight on the battlefield in China, so that he made military achievements and continued to be promoted and made a fortune, but he left the escort Yamaguchi Tawen and continued to drink the wind in the Pacific Ocean.

Therefore, when he received the distress telegram, he refused to rescue and escort the escort on the grounds that the Chinese army wanted to disperse his forces. He can't divide his forces, the Chinese side has no navy at all, and his fleet is now only engaged in blockade and support for the army. The reason for this is that he really doesn't want to jump from one escort mission to another, it is really so easy to catch a submarine, and Yamaguchi will not be reprimanded by the Admiralty if he hears more.

However, he didn't expect that now that he didn't go to Li Guang's trouble, Li Guang was once again eyeing the Fifth Fleet.

Not all the troops attacking Hainan were the Fifth Fleet. Rather, it was a mixed fleet, of which the Fifth Fleet made up a part. Recently, Nobutake Kondo's mood should be said to be very good. Under his command, there are not only three brigades of the Navy and the Marine Corps, but also a detachment of the Army (equivalent to a brigade). Since the beginning of the offensive on February 3, 39, by April it had almost completely occupied Hainan Island.

Nobutake's mixed naval fleet is quite powerful. There were not only cruisers, but also aircraft carriers, as well as seaplane carriers. And the destroyers were a full four squadrons. Other auxiliary fleets are complete.

The battle on Hainan Island had just come to an end, but Weizhou Island had already been occupied by the Chinese army in March, and a small airfield had been built. There are only more than 3,000 Chinese troops on Hainan Island, and they are not a regular army, so it is not too difficult for Kondo Shintake to fight.

This time, in order to be promoted, Kondo Nobutake is completely using the resources of the Great Empire to squander extravagantly, so many fleets and so many troops, just to ensure that nothing goes wrong, he wants to achieve a complete victory.

A small Weizhou Island, where Kondo Nobutake placed an eleventh base. It is equivalent to the size of a mixed brigade in the Army. A mixed army, land, and air force of more than 1,000 people is really too extravagant for this small island of two or three square kilometers.

In order to be able to control the route of the Beibu Gulf, there is not only a squadron of the army but also a garrison squadron of the navy on Weizhou Island. The surface combat forces include one seaplane carrier of the Navy, and four ships of a gunboat fleet.

The moonlight dissolved, but Li Guang's mood was not so good. I could only stay in the captain's room and chat with the newly recruited guard squad leader Yang Weiwu.

It is said that people who have the ability have a weird temper. But Li Guang did not see the arrogance and eccentricity of the Water Margin heroes in Yang Weiwu, Yang Weiwu was more like a scholar in many ways. This time, Yang Weiwu joined the Naval Resistance Army, and he did not carry the sword of the martial artist with him, but brought several thread-bound books, including a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War.

The first time they met, Yang Weiwu's opening remarks were unique, Chief Li killed the enemy to serve the country, and Yang was determined to serve to the death. This sounds like a sign of loyalty, but Li Guang heard a different flavor in it, that is, if you Li Guang don't resist, then he Yang someone will not fulfill his duties as a guard.

Yang Weiwu had just come into contact with submarines, and he didn't know anything about the combat methods of submarines, but when Li Guang ordered to wait for the rabbit to find out the enemy situation first, and then make a plan. Yang Weiwu's expression showed that he seemed to have some thoughts.

Yang Weiwu is not like his junior brother Qin Zhan, he did not show it directly. Li Guang was in the captain's room just to ask Yang Weiwu what he thought. In battle, Yang Weiwu's opinion may not be important, but Li Guang has found a guard who entrusts him with his life, and he still needs to know more to rest assured. After all, there are now fifteen people in the guard class, and it is not Li Guang who is guarding, but also Yuan Ran and Su Zizi.

When Li Guang asked Yang Weiwu what he thought, Yang Weiwu said: "Chief Li advocates finding out the enemy's situation first and deeply integrating the art of war, but I think that it is not necessary to wait here to investigate the enemy's situation, and it is best to send someone to the island to take a look." I am willing to help Chief Li scout the enemy's situation. ”

Yang Weiwu's idea is very good, due to the lack of intelligence, for a long time, the Pixiu has been attacking the merchant ships on the sea, and most of the time is waiting or searching.

Li Guang also intended to try Yang Weiwu's ability, so he said: "This is several miles away from the island, how do you get to the island?" ”

"Swim over."

A few kilometers, it is not very difficult for the fighters of the Naval Resistance Army.

"How do I get back?" There is a reason why Li Guang asked this, it is impossible for the Pixiu to wait here all the time, and it even has to stay away from Weizhou Island during the day. In these years, the sea water in Hainan is too clear, there is no pollution at all, and the periscope is deep, and it is entirely possible for the devil to see the swarthy hull.

Yang Weiwu took out something strange from his arms and said, "I have a whistle." ”

Li Guang took it over and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't understand what the use of this thing that looked like a conch and a whistle was.

Yang Weiwu said: "The whistle can be transmitted for ten miles, but it can't be heard in the near distance. ”

Li Guang was immediately interested, he always thought that the whistle was to put his finger in his mouth and blow it, used to transmit signals, where did he know that there was such a professional whistle on the rivers and lakes. According to Yang Weiwu, this kind of whistle was handed down by his ancestors, and no one can make it now.

According to Li Guang's analysis, the principle may be to use its own vibration frequency to emit sound similar to infrasonic waves or ultrasound, when this sound travels far away, due to air resistance, the frequency is attenuated, and the human ear can hear it. The wisdom of the ancients is truly not to be underestimated.

So that night, Yang Weiwu swam to Weizhou Island.
