Forty nautical miles outside the port of Cheongjin in North Korea, a huge fleet was slowly sailing on the sea, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the body of this fleet, and the plaster flag was particularly bloody.

Just when Hideki Tojo was desperately seeking reinforcements, the Japanese base camp had already sent the commander of the fleet formed by Vice Admiral Yamamoto 56 to deter Heilongjiang and Vladivostok, and Yossatsu Aritanaka led two aircraft carriers, the Akagi and Kaga, as well as two battleships of Nagaturo, as well as four heavy cruisers and many light cruisers and destroyers to match, and a huge fleet of more than 40 warships, including four heavy cruisers and many light cruisers and destroyers, set off from Sasebo and headed for Vladivostok.

Yamamoto Fifty-six and Ugaki stood on Cambridge, watching the transport ships sail towards the port of Qingjin, with a relaxed look on their faces. Yamamoto Fifty-six asked in a relaxed tone, "Ugaki-kun, do you think these planes can really change the situation of the Manchurian battlefield?" ”

Ugaki smiled disdainfully, "God knows, it depends on what Amaterasu means." However, I think it would be good if the army could contain some of the energy of the people of China with the help of these more than 100 fighters, and if it wants to defeat the air force of this and that person, it can only think about it, and if it wants to defeat the air force of the people of China, it can only rely on our naval aviation in the end. Speaking of this, Ugaki's tone became proud again.

Yamamoto couldn't help but solemnly remind Ugaki-kun when he saw his proud appearance when he mentioned the navy: "Ugaki-kun, it's good to have confidence, but if it's too much, it will become arrogant." You know that you don't need me to say that as far as I know, there is no model of the current imperial aircraft that can compare with theirs, so Ugaki-kun, please work hard! ”

"Hello!" Ugaki also solemnly bowed to Yamamoto Fifty-six. At this time, more than 10 Mitsubishi Type 96 warplanes flew from a distance in a neat formation, and in front of them there was also a Kawasaki Type 88 reconnaissance plane. ”

Yamamoto Fifty-six nodded with a smile, although Yamamoto always reminds Ugaki to be careful, but this is just a matter of necessity, and in his heart, he also looks down on the Huaxia army. If nothing else, just for the anchor, anchor chain, and cannonball parts of the Zhenyuan, the flagship of the Beiyang Naval Division, are still placed in Ueno Park in Tokyo, Japan, for visitors to see. When Yamamoto Isoroku was studying at the Etajima Naval Academy, he once visited Ueno Park in Tokyo with the school's instructors and classmates, and since then, in Yamamoto's heart, he has never regarded the Huaxia Navy as an opponent of the same level.

"Alright, our warriors are going to land, let's go meet them." Yamamoto, who was in a good mood, waved his hand and went down to the deck with Ugaki to greet the pilots who had just returned..... The pilots of the Japanese reconnaissance plane, who had just landed on the ship, brought Yamamoto 56 the surprising news that they had discovered a reconnaissance plane of the Heilongjiang Military Region in Peter the Great Bay, more than 500 kilometers from Vladivostok.

"Nani? You've spotted a reconnaissance plane in China! Are you sure? Yamamoto's face suddenly became serious. Yes, Your Excellency Commander, when we were ordered to conduct a routine reconnaissance in Peter the Great Bay, we spotted a reconnaissance plane from China, and we once passed by, and we can clearly see the Black Tiger mark on this China fighter! The two Japanese pilots said in unison.

"So, the whereabouts of our fleet may have been exposed?" Ugaki frowned Yamamoto Fifty-six sneered, "It's not that it's possible, but it's definitely exposed, but it's nothing, in the face of absolute power, we don't have to worry about those sampans, now pass on my order, the fleet doesn't have to hide its whereabouts anymore, and the target Vladivostok is moving forward at full speed!" ”

"Hello!" The staff officer of the fleet behind him immediately conveyed the order and went. Chen Shaokuan, the naval command of the 7th Theater of Operations in Vladivostok, and several naval officers were watching the four destroyers in the harbor for artillery training, which Wang Yizhe ordered Yang Changming, a great scientist who stayed at the Qiqihar base, to produce imitations of the "Fletcher"-class destroyers of the United States in World War II. This is the most successful destroyer developed by the United States in World War II in the future, and it has the advantages of being convenient for wartime production and has good power. Chen Shaokuan is also a talent that Wang Yaqiao poached from the Nanjing government, because the Nanjing government does not have decent warships, and everyone is willing to use the most high-tech products, including the Nanjing government's gang is also inevitably vulgar, and Chen Shaokuan is the same.

In an encounter with the Japanese army some time ago, three frigates of the young navy of the Heilongjiang Military Region and a Japanese army at sea lost two frigates and seriously damaged one frigate in a battle at sea, sinking a Japanese destroyer and damaging two frigates, thus completing the first battle of the navy of the Heilongjiang Military Region.

And this first battle of the navy also told people that naval warfare is different from land warfare, and that the contest at sea is purely a contest of strength, and there is no possibility of taking advantage of it, and if the strength is inferior to others, it can only be wiped out, and even escaping is a luxury. The addition of these four destroyers also enabled the young navy of the Heilongjiang Military Region to have the scale of eight frigates, four frigates, and four ocean-going submarines, and to have a preliminary coastal defense force. However, even this initial naval strength includes almost all the naval personnel of the Heilongjiang Military Region, and the extreme shortage of personnel is the biggest weakness of the Chahar Navy at present.

The capabilities of such "Fletcher" class destroyers are as follows. Displacement: 2,050 tons (standard)/2,500 tons (full load), five main guns, single-barreled 127mm, high-level dual-purpose guns, torpedoes, five 533mm barrels, 1-2 anti-aircraft weapons, 3 twin 40mm Bofors machine guns, 7-10 single-barreled 20mm Erlikon machine guns, 12.04m in length and width, 3.81m in draft, 3.81m in power, horsepower, speed 37 knots, 353 crews

Zhang Shouye smiled and said to Chen Shaokuan beside him: "Commander, in two months, these destroyers of ours will be ready to be armed, and then we will have a preliminary coastal defense force." ”

Chen Shaokuan shook his head and sighed: "Our personnel are still too short, just like this time, in order to equip these four destroyers with enough personnel, we have almost collected the entire navy of the Shanghai Military Region, if there are a few more in the future, I don't know where to find so many personnel on the ship!" ”

Zhang Shouye sneered and laughed, "Commander, you are too careful, it is not easy to find three-legged toads in our Huaxia, but two-legged people are not everywhere, our Vladivostok Naval School has already set up a shelf, as long as it takes one to three years of training, I believe that a large number of qualified junior naval officers will appear." ”

Chen Shaokuan glared at Zhang Shouye, "You kid said it lightly, do you think the navy can be as fast as the army." Without ten or twenty years of cultivation, it is difficult to train a qualified captain, do you think the Japanese will give us such a long time to build a navy? "If you don't have time to train in school, then you should train in actual combat, didn't General Tang Juwu also say it? Are the officers who have been trained in the flames of war the most qualified officers? Zhang Shouye gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"But how many more people will die?" Chen Shaokuan sighed: "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's take a look at their shelling practice!" ......The four destroyers on the sea began shelling, and the 127-caliber Gaoping dual-purpose guns began shelling, and one shell after another landed next to the target in the distance, setting off a high column of water.

"Well, the effect is not bad, it seems that these boys are still very attentive these days!" After seeing the effect of the shelling through the telescope, Zhang Shouye said with a satisfied smile. Chen Shaokuan also nodded, "It seems that they were still attentive last month, and they were not lazy!" When Chen Shaokuan put down the telescope and was about to say something more, a communications officer ran over and reported: "Report sir, the reconnaissance plane has called, and the Japanese carrier-based reconnaissance plane has been found in Peter the Great Bay, about 500 kilometers away from us. ”

"Oh! Where is the location? "In the vicinity of Hunggi, North Korea!" The officer replied loudly. "North Korean Hung-ki?" After Chen Shaokuan pondered for a while, he immediately ordered Zhang Shouye beside him: "Order all reconnaissance planes to dispatch, take Vladivostok as the center to reconnoiter around, and be sure to reconnoiter the movements around us, we must not let the Japanese come to our side and still know nothing!" He then ordered the 1st Submarine Brigade Long Yu to lead all submarines out of the Xiongji Sea area in Korea to reconnoitre, and if a large Japanese fleet was discovered, it would be reported immediately, and no unauthorized battle was allowed. ”

"Yes!" Zhang Shouye saluted, and immediately rushed back to the headquarters to prepare to issue orders and prepare for battle. Looking at the setting sun in the distance, Chen Shaokuan muttered to himself: "Japanese, are you so eager to destroy our immature navy that has just given birth in China?" ”

Twinkling stars blink in the sky, the night gives the sea the best protection, waves of the sea gently lapping at the submarine that is moving at high speed. On the submarine's conning tower, the black tiger mark on a white background is particularly eye-catching, and the tiger is leading the four submarines of the submarine group to move at full speed toward the Korean waters, and their task is to cooperate with the reconnaissance plane to search the Korean Xiongji waters, and once the Japanese naval fleet is discovered, it will immediately report to the Vladivostok command.

Huzi stared at the black night sky in the distance, his body remained motionless for a long time, and he still held a lit cigarette in his hand, and after a long time, until the cigarette burned his fingers, he flicked it hard, and a cigarette butt drew an arc and fell into the sea. "The Japanese Navy? I want you to know that Vladivostok is not Lushun, and Heilongjiang is not the Manchu government, so you must not let us find it......

The night slowly receded, and the sky soon turned a light blue, very light, very shallow, and in the blink of an eye a red glow appeared on the horizon, slowly expanding its range and strengthening its light. At the eastern water and sky pole, it is dyed with a patch of orange-red. One moment it is dyed orange, the other it is darkened" and it darkens into light gray. It's in this light gray. Slowly baked a semi-circular light red wheel "Half of the bright red and bright red sun suddenly appeared under the wheel light, rising higher and higher, and jumping out of the water in a blink of an eye. So a big red sun rested steadily on the sea.

Two F-5E lightning reconnaissance planes painted sky blue pierced one after the other on the clouds of more than 3,000 meters, and four pairs of sharp eyes were staring at the sea surface on the plane, and they were the two land-based twin-engine reconnaissance planes that were ordered to search the waters of the DPRK.

"Flying Eagle Three, did you just make any discoveries?" "I didn't give up, the sea was calm!" "Okay, be careful to search, we're running out of fuel, we'll be back in twenty minutes!" "Understood!"

There was still silence on the sea, there was nothing but a few seagulls, only two reconnaissance planes flew along the course alone, with the sun appearing. The clouds are thinning and visibility is becoming clearer.

Suddenly, the telegraph operator and observer aboard the Flying Eagle 3 also spotted a tiny pole at sea level, thirty kilometers to the west. The telegraph operator, who was in good spirits, immediately reached out and patted the pilot in front of him on the shoulder, and stretched out his hand to point to the west in front. The telegraph operator of the Seahawk No. 3 immediately connected to the internal channel, "Seahawk No. 1, the ship was found to be a trick in the west, suspected to be the Japanese fleet, did you go over to observe?" ”

At this time, the observer on the Sea Hawk also spotted the fleet coming from the west" Yes. Lower the altitude to a thousand meters. Go and observe it now. "Understood!" As soon as the pilot pulled the joystick, the seemingly bulky plane immediately flew in the direction of the west. Then. A Japanese reconnaissance plane suddenly flew from the front. The two sides were taken aback when they suddenly met.

This was a Japanese 88-Kawasaki reconnaissance plane, and the pilot on the plane was immediately startled when he saw a strange-looking plane flying down from the clouds. The plane was so eccentric, with two wide and wide vertical tails in the nose, and the nose and two propellers protruding in front to look like a crab with its teeth and claws.

"Yaga, it's a reconnaissance plane in China! Report to the Fleet Commander! "When two planes, neither equipped with weapons, met each other for an interview. Both sides were taken aback. The Japanese reconnaissance plane pulled the control stick. The two sides went in one direction, each intervening and passing by. "Moxi, Moxi, I'm Matsui of the reconnaissance team, and a Shina reconnaissance plane is flying towards the fleet in front of me, so hurry up and shoot him down. Shoot him down! ”

When the two Heilongjiang reconnaissance planes flew over the Japanese fleet, they were taken aback: "A huge fleet appeared in front of them, and the huge scale of dozens of ships surprised several people in the plane. "Oh my God", does little Japan want to destroy Vladivostok? One observer exclaimed in surprise.

"Shut up and take a picture! Japanese planes are coming! The observer of the Sea Hawk 1 hastened to remind. At the same time, he did not forget to open the radio link, and hurriedly sent a line of telegrams: "Discovered a large Japanese fleet...... "click" and the sound of the camera shutter sounded.

The two planes flew around the Japanese fleet, bursts of white light flashed, and after the shooting mission was completed, the two planes turned around and ran. Then. More than 10 Type 96 Mitsubishi fighters of the Japanese army were flying rapidly towards them, and their menacing appearance made people have no doubt about their determination to shoot down the two reconnaissance planes.

However, what made the Japanese planes depressed was that the Type 96 Mitsubishi fighters, which they had always been proud of, were getting farther and farther away from their goal, making the Japanese pilots who had nothing to vent their bravery but no place to vent their frustration. On the Japanese aircraft carrier Akagi, the pilot's report also reached his ears through the radio in time.

"Yaga. You bunch of waste, you can't even catch up with two reconnaissance planes, and you really lose the face of our great empire. "After listening to the report that the two reconnaissance planes of Chahar had escaped, Ugaki scolded the leader of the Japanese flight squad leading the team on the radio." Your Excellency Commander, I'm really sorry that our pilots let the reconnaissance plane of the Chinese people run away, and now they must have spied on our reality. ”

"It doesn't matter, Ugaki-kun!" Tanaka Yoshiryu waved his hand, "It's good to let them know our reality and truth." I have long said that "in the face of absolute strength, any small trick is useless." Now that we've been discovered by the Shina people, let's go full throttle! "Hello!" Major General Ugaki turned around and ordered the staff officer behind him: "Full speed ahead!" ”

The news of the appearance of the Japanese army's large-scale fleet also reached Wang Yizhe's ears, "After receiving the news, he sighed secretly in his heart, the Japanese Navy finally attacked Vladivostok." However, this move is really on the death hole of the Seventh War Zone, and now Vladivostok is at a time when the construction of various shipyards is in full swing. More than 60,000 builders, including workers and technicians of all kinds, as well as engineers and specialists from German Jews, gathered in the port of Vladivostok to hurry up and build the project, and it would have been a great deal of fun if the Japanese bombarded Vladivostok or dropped a bomb.

Wang Yizhe, who had made up his mind, immediately drafted a telegram to Chen Shaokuan, commander of the navy of the Heilongjiang Military Region, and Zhang Tingshu, commander of the expeditionary group, saying: "The safety of the construction of the port of Vladivostok and the construction of the shipyard has a bearing on the future of our Heilongjiang Military Region, and we must not tolerate mistakes. ”

Zhang Tingshu and Chen Shaokuan both felt a heavy weight on their shoulders after seeing the sternly worded telegram sent by Wang Yizhe, and two hours after they received the telegram from the reconnaissance plane, the two reconnaissance planes sent out returned home.

When the technical department put the developed photos in front of everyone, everyone gasped. This time, the Japanese have made a bloody investment. The two aircraft carriers Akagi and Kaga, plus the two battleships Nagato and Mutsu, the Furutaka and the heavy cruiser Kako, and so on, together formed a powerful fleet with dozens of ships. Such a huge fleet drove over. This is to blast sea cucumber into powder!

"Bump!" Chen Shaokuan's thug slapped it on the table, "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth" Since the Japanese don't let us celebrate our birthday, we can't sit still. The first and second divisions of our HNA should also be pulled out for training. The command hastened to make a detailed plan, this fleet must not be allowed to get close to Vladivostok! ”

At several large airports near the port of Vladivostok, the shrill sirens sounded at the same time, and countless pilots poured out of the dormitories, canteens, and other places. Converged into a stream of people running towards their respective fighters - at this time on the Japanese naval fleet, Tanaka Yoshitaka and Ugaki looked at the sky above their heads and couldn't breathe, because from an hour ago, there was a flash lightning high-altitude reconnaissance plane dangling over their heads, reporting the whereabouts of the Japanese fleet to the Vladivostok base all the time.

The Japanese army sent planes to expel them, but they did not expect that this strange-looking plane actually flew to an altitude of 10,000 meters, making those 96-Mitsubishi fighters who could only fly to 8,000 meters stare dryly below. Later. This reconnaissance plane even lingered like a shadow to meet with the Japanese fleet, and Tanaka Yoshimyu was almost mad, but in the end he could only grit his teeth and order the fleet to speed up.

"Your Excellency, Commander. Our whereabouts have been clearly observed by the reconnaissance planes of the China, but now it is not suitable to move forward, so let's turn around! Ugaki on the side was indeed worried for a while, and persuaded tactfully beside him. Tanaka Yoshiryu sighed, "Ugaki-kun, where do you think we can run now?" The planes of the Chinese have been circling over us, and if we retreat, how will we accomplish the mission of the base camp? And I have a hunch that if we don't get rid of them this time, "we won't have a chance next time!" ”

Ugaki looked at the dozens of warplanes circling around the periphery of the fleet, and felt helpless for a while, when would the navy of China, which didn't even have a cruiser, be able to make the empire pay so much attention? It's a wonderful world. Yoshiryu Tanaka, who was still immersed in his thoughts, and Major General Ugaki, who was full of worries, did not expect that more than a hundred nautical miles in front of them, there were four undersea killers lurking quietly at the bottom of the sea thirty meters underwater, quietly waiting for the arrival of their prey.

Originally, Long Yu was leading a submarine formation to the Korean waters, but on the way, he received a telegram from the base and learned that a large Japanese fleet was rushing to Vladivostok in front of them. Long Yu immediately ordered the submarine to stop advancing. Lurked and waited for the arrival of this Japanese fleet led by Yoshimyu Tanaka.

The atmosphere in the command cabin of the submarine was very dull, and no one spoke, so Mu Yu leaned over and asked quietly, "Head, do you say the little devil can come?" "How do I know!" Huzi said angrily, "The fleet has always taken the Z-shaped route, and whether you can meet it depends on luck." If you're unlucky, you'll never touch it for eight lifetimes. Just wait! ”

Mu Yu was stunned for a moment before complaining in a low voice. "I'm not in a hurry to find someone to ask, you're too much, no wonder you don't even have a girlfriend yet!" "Yes!" Huzi snorted coldly, and his sharp eyes stabbed at Mu Yu like a sharp blade. Frightened, Mu Yu shrank his neck, and quickly slipped to the side and pretended to look at the charts
