Hara Tadaichi and Yamaguchi Tawen studied anti-submarine tactics and the specific results were naturally unknown to the Naval Resistance Army. The two Pixiu sailed on the ocean for more than 10 days and successfully reached the South China Sea. This time, in addition to supplying Su Qing on Hainan Island, Ren Tianyang and Ji Keliang's main task was to continue to fight near the Strait of Malacca. One of the requirements of Li Guangwei's two subordinate officers was to find out how to cooperate with the submarines in the course of this operation. The submarine construction of the Maritime Resistance Force has now accumulated considerable accumulation in terms of personnel and technology, and the number of submarines will grow rapidly.

At present, the Navy's anti-Japanese forces have only two submarines, and the so-called wolf pack tactics are still difficult to carry out for the time being, but from now on, it is necessary to explore tactics to cooperate with the operation.

Ji Keliang and Ren Tianyang completed the supply of the Hainan guerrillas very smoothly, not only sending 100 recruits to Su Qing who had completed their training, but also bringing back 30 veterans. The thirty veterans have now left for Burma on supply ships, and will then pick up the men to load the timber to the Statue Island.

The Naval Resistance Force (NAA) had intelligence support in Malaya, and its combat efficiency had rapidly improved.

In the first month of the 40th year, the number of merchant ships sunk by the Maritime Resistance Army reached a staggering number --- seventeen. Since most of the merchant ships in this area are small and medium-sized ships, they vary in size, but the total tonnage is still more than 60,000 tons.

And this result seems to be not as good as the results of the original Pixiu, but you must know that now the devil is also proficient, once the merchant ship is attacked, the other merchant ships will hide in the harbor and do not come out, until the escort warships of the Saiben Navy arrive. Even the merchant ships west of the Strait of Malacca spent money to travel in tandem with British and French warships. However, due to the threat from Britain and France, the convoy has not broken through the Strait of Malacca for the time being, and has been operating in the basin of the South China Sea.

In order to deal with this escort measure, the two Pixiu submarines, after several tests, invented the tactic of following the ambush. To put it simply, no matter which submarine discovers a merchant ship, it will secretly follow it first, and at the same time contact another submarine to lay an ambush in front of the merchant ship's route.

Then the two submarines took advantage of the separation of the escort warships and merchant ships to launch a surprise attack.

This tactic was extremely successful, but after two times, the escort fleet began to escort the whole process, and Ji Keliang and Ren Tianyang had to think about new tactics again. Now Li Guang gave them the task of attacking only merchant ships, attacking under the safest conditions, and would rather lose their fighters than take risks. The fighters on these two Pixiu were the seeds of Li Guang's planned submarine fleet.

Li Guang, who had been in Uruguay for more than half a month, reluctantly said goodbye to the beauty and returned to the stone statue island at the beginning of January.

As soon as he got off the plane, Li Guang saw twelve P40 fighters. With the help of Ambassador Hu Shih, the Americans finally fulfilled the agreement, and the fighters arrived at Shixiang Island before New Year's Day.

Li Guang didn't see Su Zizi. Su Zizi is now also on tour with Professor Yuan Ye for a New Year's concert in the United States. Now Su Zizi and Yuan Ran almost don't see each other, as if they agreed, as long as Li Guang is in Uruguay, Su Zizi will not see Li Guang in Uruguay. And Yuan Ran did it more thoroughly, and simply didn't come to Stone Statue Island.

The Mars collision with the earth that Li Guang had been worried about did not happen, but it did not mean that he was not frightened, and now the two beauties were eaten by Li Guang. The aftermath is more difficult to deal with.

Now Su Zizi's concert in the United States is extremely sensational, especially after Ambassador Hu Shi participated in several performances, Ambassador Hu Shi's speech made the concert even more sensational. Ambassador Hu Shih's famous remark: "If the United States sells a drop of oil, Chinese soldiers will shed an extra gallon of blood." It has been widely disseminated among the American people and business and political circles. Although it was not enough to change the stance of the US political axe for a while, public opinion in the United States began to gradually tilt towards China.

After deciding on the strategy of the aircraft carrier, Li Guang's requirements for fighters changed direction again, and he needed carrier-based aircraft.

However, this time the purchase of carrier-based aircraft, not to mention advanced, even backward carrier-based aircraft Li Guang could not obtain. It has nothing to do with money------- there is simply no country to sell.

Only three or four countries that can produce carrier-based aircraft, the United States, Britain and France. Britain and France are at war, so don't think about it. It is said that it is a sworn enemy, let alone think about it. In other words, as long as carrier-based aircraft cannot be bought in the United States, Li Guang will not be able to think about it.

Li Guang once again placed an order for the American company Curtiss to purchase 36 P40 fighters. This time he bought the P40 and made a slight change, asking that the machine gun in the nose be removed and replaced with four German-made 20mm cannons on both wings.

Li Guang had an idea to transform the P40 fighter into a carrier-based aircraft, but this required the participation of professionals, and whether it was feasible or not, Li Guang did not have a spectrum in his heart. Professor Yuan is working in the United States on this matter. In fact, Su Zizi held a concert in the United States to recruit people.

The biggest role of a stolen German-made water reconnaissance plane for Li Guang was to train pilots. The P40 fighter is a single-seat fighter and cannot be used as a training aircraft. Germany's reconnaissance plane, on the other hand, is a two-seater, and it is very suitable for use as a training plane (the captured fighter is also a two-seater). In particular, the German aircraft is arranged with a single wing, which is the same layout as the P40, which is very suitable as a training aircraft.

For Li Guang, the most satisfying thing about this fighter is the two 20mm cannons installed in the wings.

In 39 years, not to mention reconnaissance aircraft, most fighters did not have such sharp weapons, equipped with 7.92 mm caliber machine guns are conventional configurations, equipped with 12.7 mm caliber machine guns is strong firepower, and this reconnaissance aircraft, the Germans almost created the surname to use 20mm cannons. The progress of military science and technology, just like Li Guang's experience, sometimes changes are only a little bit, or even technological innovation, but the energy and funds spent are enormous.

For example, the machine guns equipped by the Germans are almost exclusively for the design of the fighter, the length of the barrel, the fixed structure, the size of the recoil, and the ammunition supply structure. But if you talk about the difficulty of manufacturing, it is not very high.

At this time, the P40 fighter was not the best P40 in history, but almost the worst model. The firepower configuration has been slandered by Li Guang many times.

Seeing such sharp machine guns by the Germans, Li Guang endured the pain of being blackmailed by the Germans and purchased two hundred machine guns.

In Li Guang's order for Curtis, he only asked for a reserved structure for the wing, but he was not willing to give the Germans' technology to the Americans free of charge.

With the arrival of the fighters, the fighter squad of the Naval Resistance Force finally had weapons, and the training gradually began.
