If 90 percent of the main force of the Navy's navy is the combined fleet, then Zheng Xuechang is now leading the combined fleet of the Naval Resistance Force. Although compared to the book, the weak ones are simply disproportionate. But this is already the full strength of the Naval Resistance Army. In August 1939, the Navy's fleet with a displacement of less than 10,000 tons was actually almost the only force of the Chinese Navy.

Thinking about Li Guang's entrustment on the stone statue island, Zheng Xuechang's heart was heavy. Zheng Xuechang, as the commander of the entire fleet, is both an honor and a responsibility.

Zheng Xuechang, a small captain, now commands one of China's largest mixed fleets. Although this fleet is insignificant compared to the book, it can even be negligible.

But Zheng Xuechang knows how much effort Li Guang has put into this fleet, and Li Guang's finances have survived crises again and again, and although Li Guang does not say it, Zheng Xuechang knows it very well. must complete the task, this is the determination in Zheng Xuechang's heart.

The task of this naval resistance attack is extremely complicated. Attacking the ships of the guano business group is not a very important or difficult thing to do, it can only be regarded as a piggyback mission. There are four main tasks:

First, the Pixiu will transport more than 200 tons of explosives and propellants for the Gui family.

Second, the PJP will enter the port of Haiphong in French Indochina (Vietnam) to carry 2,500 tons of tungsten sand accumulated by the Gui Department after half a year's hard work. Then sail to Germany, and be sure to buy several equipment and supplies, including several large diesel engines. Li Guang is very strict with this task, and even asks for it at any cost. The other thing is to buy some Soviet-made shells. There is a production line for shells on Stone Statue Island, but it takes time to make a good shell. And now there are too few artillery shells in reserve, and the defense of the Naval Resistance Army against the Stone Statue Island is extremely weak. Compared to the Soviet shells, it is still the cheapest in the world.

The third point is to send Su Qing's Hainan guerrillas to Hainan Island.

The fourth point is the turn of combat missions.

As the navy took root in Hainan and stabilized the situation, the blockade of the Beibu Gulf became tighter.

Now that the submarine has appeared outside the port of Haiphong, although they do not dare to use force against the freighters of the British and American powers, for a small country like Uruguay, they dare to sink it as long as they judge that they are sending supplies to China. And this kind of thing has already happened, and the ship of the guano business group has already sunk one.

There is no evidence, and there is no way for the Uruguayan side to protest. After this incident, the guano business group has cut off the business of sending guano to China. But for the Gui family, it is already quite satisfied, and for more than half a year, the Gui system has received a million tons of guano.

The Gui department adopted the method of breaking up the whole and transporting guano from Haiphong in small boats, although it was dangerous, but it was near the coastline, and the military patrol boats temporarily took care of the face of the French, and the raids were not frequent.

This time, the naval resistance army attacked, because it was a mixed formation. The route plan, the replenishment plan, all aspects of the fleet are very complex. Not to mention the operation, just planning the route is a big topic. Although Zheng Xuechang is a naval officer, his level was too low before, and this is the first time he has done this kind of topic.

In fact, if this kind of task is placed in the British Royal Navy, at least a colonel must lead the team, and there is a group of staff officers below. Everything used now has to rely on Zheng Xuechang.

On the flagship Baxia, Zheng Xuechang looked at the chart and thought about the next plan. After the fleet arrived in the South China Sea, it was very low-key, and Zheng Xuechang anchored on a deserted island and reef in the Paracel Islands.

There are a total of 34 islands and reefs in the Paracel Islands, and if you look down from the sky, they are like flowers blooming on the waves of the South China Sea.

Originally, this was supposed to be an outpost for China to resist the enemy, but at this time it became an area where the Naval Resistance Army was hiding from the search of the Japanese army.

At present, the forces of the Chinese military and navy are still in the vicinity of the Beibu Gulf, and they are not running rampant in the entire South China Sea. The location of the island and reef chosen by Zheng Xuechang is 2,300 kilometers south of Hainan Island. This is basically the limit of military aircraft and warship patrols. Generally speaking, I don't worry about the devil finding out.

The only thing to worry about is the submarines of the Japanese army. Others don't know what the ship of the guano business group was sunk, but the Maritime Resistance Army knows it clearly. The ship that Ji Kelian sank was not in the South China Sea at all, and the one who had a submarine in the South China Sea could only be a devil.

In order to further control the foreign aid channels of the Chinese army, the devils have now begun to secretly attack merchant ships. However, the little devil did it skillfully, and it has not caused an uproar so far.

This is the advantage of the devil, although the Pixiu of the Maritime Resistance Force is stronger than the devil's submarine in terms of endurance and many surnames, but one of the biggest drawbacks is that the number is too small, only one.

As long as the devil dispatches ten or eight ships, he can completely block the route of merchant ships to Haiphong Port. And the devil is taken by the United States, Britain, and France, and the strong national power does not dare to sneak attack the merchant ships of these countries, but they are not polite to the merchant ships of small Southeast Asian countries and other countries. It is said that a merchant ship bound for Hong Kong was also sunk, but the countries concerned only protested and did not take any other action.

It is said that the devils are also cheating, and they don't admit that their submarine did it. And he shamelessly claimed that his country's merchant ships were also sunk by unknown ships, suspecting that all these attacks were carried out by Chinese submarines. And Yucheng has repeatedly made it clear that there are no submarines in the Chinese naval sequence.

On this route, the United States, Britain, France, and the Netherlands have the highest proportion of merchant ships, more than sixty percent. However, after forty percent of the merchant ships of other countries were attacked, the cargo volume was greatly reduced, which had a great impact on China's anti-Japanese war. Especially for the strength of the Katsura family, the weakening is even more severe.

The Chinese army's foreign aid channel has now been fully shifted to Burma. But for the Gui family, the foreign aid channel at this time has actually been stuck.

The PJP is currently disguised as an American merchant ship, and it is estimated that it will not be difficult to enter Haiphong Port, but it will not be so easy to get out of the South China Sea smoothly. There are countless spies and spies and even diplomatic officials in Haiphong, and the PJP number is full of Chinese, and it is impossible to keep it secret. It is almost certain that once they leave the port, they will be attacked by military submarines.

Zheng Xuechang led the troops alone, and no matter what, he didn't dare to act recklessly with his own blood. He decided to complete the first task first, and the PJP now went to Haiphong, loaded with tungsten sand but did not leave the port.

After several tungsten sand trades, the Maritime Resistance Army basically knew China's current tungsten sand production. Tungsten sand is basically produced in the three provinces of Jiangxi and Guangxi and Fujian, and the best year is to produce more than 10,000 tons. It can be said that tungsten sand is the most popular commodity among the materials that China can sell to the outside world, but tungsten ore itself is a low-grade ore, and the difficulty of mining and beneficiation is not low, which requires a lot of labor and even the lives of miners. For a country like China, which lacks electricity and heavy industry, production processes such as grinding and beneficiation are almost entirely completed by manpower. Even transportation is done by manpower.

Now the 2,500 tons of tungsten sand obtained by the Gui Department do not know how much Chinese blood and sweat will be consumed, and it is needless to say that the Gui Department is an important surname for China and for the Maritime Resistance Army.

On 1 September, Germany, which had endured it for a long time, raised its butcher's knife against Poland. A world war broke out in full swing. The Baxia sank four guano ships before reaching the Paracel Islands, and the Pixiu arrived in Qinzhou Bay in Guangxi, and the operation to transport explosives went smoothly.
