According to the regulations of the Maritime Resistance Army, submarines entering the South China Sea can only float at night to breathe, and the soldiers can also enjoy the salty air on the ocean for a short time. In fact, each fighter can breathe freely on the surface of the sea for less than an hour, but this is very important for fighters who have lived in cramped submarines for a long time, and it is a rare treat for everyone. However, on the night of November 12, wind began to blow over the South China Sea, followed by heavy rain. Ren Tianyang was very disappointed, and even the night wind time was disturbed. This kind of weather was supposed to be the best time for the Pixiu to fight, but the devil only sent a few small boats to patrol, which was really not suitable for Ren Tianyang's appetite.

In the early morning, just as the Pixiu was about to dive and stay at the bottom of the sea for another day, it received a telegram from Su Qing---- saying that the army battleship and troop carrier were attacking from Yulin Port.

After receiving this telegram, Ren Tianyang immediately became excited. A few days ago, Lin Lili sent him a telegram that the German submarine had sunk a British aircraft carrier of more than 20,000 tons in less than half a month after the start of the war.

According to Su Qing's intelligence, although there are no real aircraft carriers in Yulin Port now, there are water aircraft carriers and heavy cruisers.

The Pixiu went to sea several times, and the biggest gain was to kill a water aircraft carrier of the Yue Army. According to Li Guang's calculation of the results of the battle, the water carriers were below the heavy cruisers and above the light cruisers.

Zheng Xuechang's Baxia took out a light cruiser in its first sortie, and this result was very enviable to Ren Tianyang. You must know that the last time the Yuejun water aircraft carrier was sunk, the captain of the Pixiu at that time was Li Guang, and he couldn't count his combat exploits on his head.

Now Ren Tianyang and Ji Keliang are 15 to 15 captains, and Ren Tianyang is slightly ahead because of the exploits of a submarine.

Seeing that Pixiu No. 2 was about to be launched, Ren Tianyang was ready to take a step ahead in the competition with Ji Keliang. And whether he can take the lead depends on the past few days, the fuel and supplies on the Pixiu are not very sufficient, and if there is no harvest, he must return to sail.

Originally, the submarine still needed to think about choosing the attack route, but Li Guang's previous instructions were very arbitrary -- the army was to land in Qinzhou Bay.

In fact, even if the army is assembled in Sanya, it can hardly be said that it is going to attack Guangxi, after all, now that the world war has begun, it is not impossible for the army to go crazy and directly attack Vietnam. On May 22, 1939, Germany and Italy signed an alliance treaty, the "Iron Covenant", to form a military alliance (this treaty is still intended to be hostage, not formal. ）。 Now the attack on the French colonies is also justified.

In the Naval Resistance Army, Li Guang did not like Yiyantang like the military commanders of other units, but Li Guang's conclusions were confirmed again and again.

Originally, the Pixiu was in the Pacific Ocean, and it was very easy to attack the merchant ships in Panama, but Li Guang adjusted the direction of the attack early and turned to the South China Sea and the Strait of Malacca. As a result, in July, the United States restricted the import of commodities from Japan, but in September it was basically cut off, and even the merchant ships of Japan were gone. At present, although there are still a large number of oil tankers from the United States, the value of oil is too low, and the largest oil tanker of the little devil is only 10,000 tons. You must know that the cost of oil tankers is not high at all compared to guano ships. The Maritime Resistance Army is only a submarine, and according to Li Guang, it is necessary to maximize its effectiveness.

In fact, in view of the occupation of Hainan Island by the United States in February 1939 (which would become a base for the advance of the United States to Indochina and other parts of Southeast Asia), and in May the United States demanded that Britain and the United States recognize the right to administer the concessions of the imperialist countries in Shanghai, which seriously infringed on the interests of Western countries, including the United States, and the United States announced in June 1939 that the U.S. Commercial Treaty would cease to take effect on January 26, 1940. This is also known as a moral embargo. But this moral embargo, for American businessmen who have no morality to speak of, is just a, and it only affected for a month or two before it was solved by the businessmen in a flexible way.

Li Guang did not say anything about this, the country is too weak, and in the eyes of the Americans, China does not even have a use value. Instead of blaming the United States, it is better to strive to be strong yourself. At all times, the strength of oneself is the real strength. As for diplomatic techniques and the use of public opinion, they are useful, but they will not be of fundamental use.

According to the articles Li Guang saw on the Internet in later generations, although I do not know whether they are true or false, it is certain that the United States and Britain have the intention of letting the Soviet Union contain them, and China undoubtedly does not have the ability to do so. This may be a little bit of darkness on the part of the Americans' limited support for the book. The bigger reason, of course, is that Americans want to make money -- they don't care about the lives of the Chinese.

In fact, if it weren't for Ji Kelian's preparations in advance, Ren Tianyang's attack would not have been so easy. The nautical charts drawn by Tikerian were quite useful in warfare.

For another example, Li Guang judged that Germany would attack Poland in September, and the tungsten sand trade boldly raised prices. All this has been confirmed.

Therefore, Ren Tianyang was very convinced of Li Guang's judgment, and did not hesitate to order the Pixiu to sail to Qinzhou Bay.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the Pixiu was already lurking outside Qinzhou Bay. At this time, the sea was raining heavily like a pillar, and three or five hundred meters out of sight was a haze, and the Pixiu seemed to exist in this world.

The timing of the attack chosen by the generals was indeed very good, and in this case, the warship entering Qinzhou Bay would not attract the attention of the defenders at all. The army played a good game, and the bad weather also gave the Pixiu excellent cover.

The Pixiu was originally loitering near Weizhou Island, only thirty or forty nautical miles from Qinzhou Bay. And the army is in Sanya, a full 300 nautical miles. It was not until 3 p.m. on the 14th that the fleet reached the ocean outside Qinzhou Bay.

This was the first time Ren Tianyang had seen such a huge fleet, and this was only the weakest fleet in the Navy. In the heavy rain, there were shadowy warships on all sides. The sound of the whistle and the engine was arrogant.

Takasu Shiro was at the lead flagship Myoko at this time, and he was satisfied with his fleet. Three cruisers were in front, surrounded by more than a dozen destroyers, and in the middle were four seaplane carriers and more than thirty troop merchant ships. In the tail of the fleet was the light cruiser Yubari. This is the standard circular marching column. Excellent protection.

A huge fleet covered tens of square kilometers of sea. In the rain and fog, it was like a monster, rushing to Qinzhou Bay. Even the mere sonar could feel a rush of oppression.

The ambush site chosen by Pixiu No. 1 was three or four kilometers outside the entrance to Qinzhou Bay. However, due to the limited line of sight in the heavy rain, when the sound of the propellers of the fleet reached the ears of the sonar soldiers, Ren Tianyang discovered that the lurking site of the Pixiu was too close to the coast, and it was actually in a state of surroundment.

This situation threatens Ren Tianyang's tactics of preparing torpedoes and arrows. In terms of equipment capabilities, the Pixiu was able to shoot all eight torpedoes in one and a half minutes. But if you disperse the target, plus the aiming time, it will take as little as three minutes.

For example, the last time Pixiu No. 1 ambushed the Kakumaru, it took four minutes to shoot eight torpedoes. And these three minutes were enough for the army's naval guns to fire ten rounds. Ren Tianyang didn't think that the Pixiu could survive under the guns of the warship, and the Pixiu was injured by a 75mm grenade, and the thrill is still vivid.

With the approach of the military fleet, from the periscope of the Pixiu, Ren Tianyang saw more and more clearly, the first three warships. The line of sight in the rain is not good, but two of them are huge, and Ren Tianyang judged that they were definitely not light cruisers, but should be heavy cruisers.

Ren Tianyang's heart jumped wildly, if he was conservative, Ren Tianyang was sure to kill one of them and escape safely. But three cruisers, for Ren Tianyang, are almost an irresistible temptation.

Li Guang's combat mission to the Pixiu had a premise -- absolute security. Before the Pixiu No. 2 was launched, the Pixiu No. 1 was the only weapon that the Maritime Resistance Force could fight in the ocean, and it absolutely could not be missed.

Ren Tianyang was struggling, and the sonar soldier reported in a low voice, and the fleet began to change formation. Just before the battleship came into range of the Pixiu, it actually stopped.

It was said that the army fleet did not directly enter Qinzhou Bay, presumably because it wanted to make preparations before the war after more than a day of sailing.

This is a good phenomenon, since the army does not launch an attack at this time, it is likely to wait until the early morning of tomorrow to enter Qinzhou Bay. At present, the advance of the warships is only seven or eight nautical miles from the coastline, and the huge fleet has formed a circle on the sea surface and has already dropped the anchor chain.

Fatty, big fat.

Ren Tianyang knew why Li Guang had been obsessed with the aircraft carrier. If there really is an aircraft carrier as Li Guang said, a wave of blows can destroy the entire fleet of the army.

More than seventy ships of various kinds, extremely spectacular on the sea. Especially in the rain and fog, it is even more hideous.

Takasu Shiro behaved quite carefully, and the fleet anchored on the sea formed several circles. Twenty or thirty troop carriers at the innermost, then four water carriers, and four light and heavy cruisers on the outside. And the outermost part is more than a dozen destroyers shuttling back and forth.

The destroyer was very conscientious, searched the sea several times in a radius of tens of miles, and passed above the Pixiu several times. Active sonar is also scanned several times. However, in this shallow sea, it is simply a dream to find the Pixiu, and the Pixiu is sitting on the bottom of the sea, almost like a stone, and the little devil finds nothing.

The sea area chosen by the devil is very level, neither too far away to make the attack lose its sudden surname, nor too close to be discovered by the Chinese army on the shore.

The center of the fleet is about ten nautical miles from the coastline, while the trajectory of the outer destroyers is about a circle with a radius of ten kilometers. The Pixiu is actually on the inside of this circle. For Ren Tianyang, this is definitely not a good ambush spot. Previously, he did not expect that the Yue army did not directly launch an attack on Qinzhou Bay, but assembled on the sea. Originally, he planned to attack the fleet when it entered Qinzhou Bay or Fangchenggang, but now it seems that he needs to be patient.

Ren Tianyang was very envious of the good fortune of the German submarine captain, when the German submarine attacked the British aircraft carrier with only two destroyers to escort it. But in front of Ren Tianyang were dozens of warships, and it was simply impossible to break through the encirclement.

At such a close distance, everyone on the Pixiu didn't dare to make a sound at all, and the slightest movement was afraid that they would be discovered by the army. If there are two destroyers, the Pixiu can still hit the luck, and the gambling military sonar did not pay attention, so many warships, all sonar will not sleep lazy. Luck is too elusive, so don't expect too much.
