Republic of China game

If the emperor can be caught, he will undoubtedly be the biggest hero in this battle!The future career is bright.

Looking at the surrounding wind and rain, as well as the other two 1936-type destroyers and the two flat-deck destroyers of the US Navy, Lin Zun's eyes were also full of eagerness.I have five destroyers in my hand, all equipped with the world's most advanced sonar system, even in such stormy weather, I can find any abnormalities underwater.only……

Looking at the radar that was still turning on the mast of the destroyer, Lin Zun, who was eagerly looking forward to the delivery of the submarine carrying Emperor Hirohito, couldn't help but heaved a long sigh. Although the sonar was still working under the strong wind and heavy rain, the radar was out of order. The problem is that the detection range is greatly reduced.It was not much farther than the visual observation of the lookout post on the ship. If the submarine carrying Emperor Hirohito simply floated to the surface and sailed, it might really be able to escape.

Sighing, Lin Zun returned to the bridge with a few staff members. As soon as he entered the door, Major Tian Long, the captain of the Nanhui, handed over a telegram.

"Report sir, a large number of Japanese submarines have been found in area No. 12, and an American flat-deck destroyer has been sunk. The headquarters asked us to provide immediate support!"

"What? A large number of Japanese submarines?" Lin Zun was taken aback when he heard the words, quickly took the telegram and scanned it a few times, took a deep breath, and murmured: "Why is this happening?"

Seeing Lin Zun's eyebrows gradually furrowed, Major Tian Long asked curiously: "Commander, is there any doubt?"

Lin Zun's expression turned serious, he nodded, and asked back: "Don't you think the behavior of these Japanese submarines is abnormal? They actually come in groups to actively attack our destroyer formation!"

"Is something wrong?"

"Of course it's wrong. The telegram said that about 10 or more Japanese submarines suddenly attacked the 15th Destroyer Squadron... What do the Japanese want to do? If they want to sneak attack, Hilo Bay is full of big fish!"

"Area No. 12 is the periphery of the blockade. Could it be that the Japanese submarines are trying to break a trail and rescue Emperor Hirohito?"

"Impossible." Lin Zun thought for a while, but still shook his head: "Using submarines to attack the destroyer's blockade...even the Japanese wouldn't be so crazy, right? How fast is the submarine? How fast is the destroyer? We and the destroyers of the Yankees add up to almost two hundred ships! How sure is Yuren that he can escape? I think It’s not more than 10% of the time, so is there a small chance that he will come to the blog with such an identity? I think the Japanese must have diverted the tiger away from the mountain by doing this, and the real escape direction of Hirohito must be somewhere else.”

"But the order from the headquarters..." Tian Long nodded. He very much agrees with the analysis of his boss, but the order must still be carried out.

"Let's go to Area 12 first." Lin Zun thought about it and said, "At the same time, report my analysis to the headquarters. Chief Zhao and Chief of Staff Meng are not stupid, they know what to do."

"Yes." Tian Long slandered while saluting, how did this master speak?Commander Zhao and Chief of Staff Meng are just "not stupid", no wonder they have been a colonel for so many years, and Meng Hailong and Long Yuhui, who were in the same period as him, are both lieutenant generals!

……

"Hai Long, what do you think?"

When Zhao Zheng and Meng Hailong received Lin Zun's telegram on the island of the USS Taiwan aircraft carrier, they had already discovered something was wrong.According to the weather forecast, the thunderstorm will last until night, this time is definitely the best time for Hirohito to escape!The other party will definitely try their best to take advantage of it.

"Lin Zunzhi's (Lin Zunzhi's) analysis makes some sense." Meng Hailong nodded, looking at the increasingly heavy rain outside, he said with some concern: "There may be some people who turn the tiger away from the mountain, but the possibility of putting everything in one's hands is not enough." Excluded. According to the information we got from the new Japanese government in Tokyo, in 1938, the Japanese Navy once built a high-speed experimental submarine, and the highest underwater speed reached a record-setting 21.3 knots! Since then, the Japanese Navy has also built one after another. Several "submerged high" submarines have a maximum speed of 19 knots underwater and a maximum speed of 30 knots on the surface. If Hirohito takes such a submarine, he can run more than 300 nautical miles in ten hours... Maybe it really escaped from our hands!"

"The high-diving type, hum! It's a good tool for escaping, we can't let Yu Ren run away." Zhao Zheng smiled coldly, took a hard look at the chart table next to him, and ordered: "From Hilo Bay Four more destroyer squadrons were dispatched to support, and all our and American submarines near Oahu were ordered to surface, turn on the radar, and search the sea carefully..."

Zhao Zheng's voice hadn't finished yet, and the communication staff's report sounded: "Sir! The 9th Destroyer Squadron found a Japanese submarine in the No. 2 area and is attacking!"

Will the Emperor be on it?Zhao Zheng and Meng Hailong thought of this question at the same time.Area No. 2 is right at the gate of Pearl Harbor, that is to say, most of this submarine came out of Pearl Harbor (Pearl Harbor's main channel has been blocked by sunken ships, but submarines under floating conditions can still pass)!

"Tell the 9th Destroyer Squadron that the Japanese submarine must not be let go!" Zhao Zheng thought for a while, and suddenly ordered loudly: "Two more Destroyer Squadrons to go to reinforce, and tell Lin Zun to go to No. 12 area immediately, No matter what, we must block this Japanese submarine attacking in the direction of Oahu!"

Just when the sudden appearance of two teams of Japanese submarines attracted everyone's attention, the convoy of several black cars quietly left the Pearl Harbor Fortress and drove north along the road in the rain.About an hour and a half later, these cars arrived at Haleiwa, about 1 kilometers away from Pearl Harbor, a small seaport in the north of Oahu.This is just a small fishing port with simple facilities. Since the Japanese occupied Hawaii, the American fishermen living here have been locked up in concentration camps, and this small fishing port has naturally been abandoned.But when these cars finally stopped at the pier area, the gaze of Emperor Hirohito sitting on the back seat of one of the cars was immediately attracted by a black submarine floating on the pier.The body of this submarine is relatively small among the Japanese submarines that "beautifully look big", but it is extremely slender. There is no common submarine gun on the deck of the submarine, only an anti-aircraft machine gun.

Looking around, all the buildings in the town are dilapidated, there is no civilian in sight, and there are no officers and soldiers of the Guards Division holding up long rifles. It seems to be an empty city, just near the pier. A few marines in raincoats tied cables and set up gangplanks on the pier.

The Minister of the Navy, Fushimi Miyahiro Kyo, bowed slightly to the emperor beside him, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this is the high-speed submarine I-201. Its maximum underwater speed is 19 knots, and its underwater displacement is more than 1400 tons... ...The performance is absolutely reliable, but today's wind and waves are a bit strong, and it may not be too comfortable when sailing."

Hirohito nodded stiffly, and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it, so he just let out a long sigh and didn't say a word.

This is a naval officer wearing a waterproof suit who ran to the side of the car Yuren was riding in, looked inside, saluted, and reported loudly: "Navy submarine Yi-201 has been prepared, and the crew welcomes you." Your Majesty embarks."

Hirohito nodded expressionlessly to the equally numb naval officer.If it was a few months ago, if this submarine captain saw His Majesty the Emperor, his eyes would have been filled with tears, but now... Hirohito sighed in his heart, and there was endless sadness in his eyes.

The submarine captain bowed to the Emperor again, and then briefly reported the situation on the I-201 to the Minister of the Navy, King Fushimi Miyahiro, and then turned and left.

Fushimi Palace took another look at this deserted town, sighed softly, and said to Hirohito: "Your Majesty, Yi-201 is ready, and the time is almost up. Let's board the boat now." He opened the car door and walked down. Hirohito also got out of the car, and the adjutant who had already prepared immediately used an umbrella to cover the emperor from the wind and rain.Then a group of people, including the emperor's close servants, Konoe Fumimaro, Ugaki Kazushige and other so-called important ministers, followed Hirohito and Fushimiya silently, and walked towards the submarine...

……

"Hirohito has probably left Oahu!" Zhang Yiming's voice sounded obviously a little excited.Holding a recently received telegram in his hand, the Chief of Operations of the Chinese Navy strode into Luo Yaoguo's office in the San Diego Naval Port.Luo Yaoguo took the telegram and looked at it, and frowned slightly: "Once Yuren leaves, Oahu Island will be easier to fight, but... Zhao Hanyu and the others are sure to find the submarine that Yuren is on? If he is allowed to go to Germany, Those in Japan are hooked on Hitler."

Speaking of this, Luo Yaoguo glanced at Natalie who was sitting on the sofa beside her and was translating the telegram by herself with a cipher book, and asked, "Natalie, what did Yoshiko say, what is the attitude of Xianyuan Palace? If Hirohito is still here, is he willing to come out and be the emperor?"

Natalie put down the telegram and codebook in her hand, thought for a while, and shook her head: "I'm afraid it's not easy to handle. According to Yoshiko's telegram, Hanin Palace is still quite hesitant about whether to take the throne after Hirohito's death. Yoshiko and him I met several times and sent you a letter, but I still haven't been able to get a definite answer."

Luo Yaoguo smiled: "It seems that Hirohito, the emperor who can only run away, has not lost his prestige in the country!" Then he darkened his face and said to Zhang Yiming: "Friends, go and generate electricity for Zhao Hanyu, and tell him to do everything possible to eliminate it." Hirohito! If Hirohito is not dead, this Hawaiian campaign cannot be regarded as an all-out attack.” He thought for a while, and then said: “It’s really impossible to disperse the aircraft carrier, deploy defenses on all sides, and do our best to search for suspicious submarines as soon as the weather improves. , not even one can be let go!"

Zhang Yiming was stunned for a moment, and reminded in a low voice: "Assistant Commander, in this way, the attack on Oahu Island will inevitably be affected."

Luo Yaoguo smiled and waved his hands: "It's okay, Oahu Island is a turtle in a urn, you can't escape! Let Zhao Hanyu let it go first, the main target now is Yu Ren, as long as he is eliminated by us, the Japanese army on Oahu Island may not be able to escape. surrendered in battle."

"Yes!" Zhang Yiming stood at attention, gave a military salute, then turned and left.Luo Yaoguo stood up, and walked around the room with his hands behind his back.After a while, he stood in front of Natalie and said to her: "Give the power to Lao Jiang of the Japanese Front Army and tell him that Hirohito may have left Oahu in a submarine and is likely to be wiped out by our navy. "

"Okay." Natalie stood up and was about to leave when Luo Yaoguo stopped her again: "The CCP should also notify, and send a telegram to Zhang Xueliang, telling him that Hiroren is likely to die within a few days."

"What? The CCP also wants to tell?" Natalie was taken aback and asked casually.Luo Yaoguo just smiled, waved his hand at her without saying anything, and sent her out of the office.

……

"Torpedo! Torpedo spotted on starboard!"

With a loud shout, Lin Zun saw two white water splashes rushing towards the destroyer he was on on the sea in the rain and mist!The distance is less than 2000 meters... Those are two powerful Japanese spear torpedoes!This destroyer with a displacement of more than 2000 tons will be blown into two pieces if it is hit by one bomb, and no one in the ship can survive!

"Full left rudder! Hurry up and full left rudder!" Colonel Lin Zun, who was in a cold sweat, snatched the rudder in a hurry and hit the bottom immediately!Kankan dodged these two deadly torpedoes.

"Counterattack with the depth charges! Throw the depth charges!" Colonel Lin, who had just escaped the catastrophe, immediately ordered angrily.The Japanese submarines I met today are so wicked, they dared to fight against the destroyers!The torpedoes were released into the sea without money, and they didn't hide from the depth charges falling like raindrops... It was really windy!

At this moment, on the deck of the Nanhui, there was no need for Lin Zun to yell and order. The well-trained sailors, under the command of the officer, had loaded depth bombs with predetermined depths into the launchers and dropped them into the sea.In a short while, the entire sea area was turned into a pot of boiling water, and waves rolled everywhere.I don't know what's inside the Japanese submarine below?

However, these Japanese submarines still showed no sign of backing down, they continued to fire torpedoes, and after a while, they achieved another victory!A 1-type destroyer belonging to the 1936st Destroyer Squadron was hit by a Type 93 spear torpedo. It broke into two pieces with a loud bang, and sank to the bottom of the sea in the blink of an eye!It is estimated that hundreds of officers and soldiers on board have all died heroically!Lin Zun, who witnessed this scene, almost popped his eyes, and opened his mouth just as he was about to say something.The chief of staff of the formation suddenly shouted: "Sir, the 11th destroyer formation reported that at least 4 more Japanese submarines were discovered! There are Japanese submarines everywhere underwater, and we have encountered wolves!"

"What?" Lin Zun hurriedly called the rudder to Captain Tian Long of the Nanhui, then took the report from the chief of staff, glanced at it twice, and took a breath.If you count the Japanese submarines discovered by your own 1st destroyer squadron and the other two destroyer squadrons that came for reinforcements, there are at least 12 Japanese submarines in area 20 at this moment!It seems that this time we really encountered wolves.

"Where are the 7th and 2nd detachments?" Lin Zun asked the chief of staff.

"There are still 20 nautical miles, and we will arrive in less than 40 minutes!"

"Okay! Let them hurry up, and then send power to the headquarters, and ask them to send reinforcements!" Lin Zun frowned, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that Little Japan really wants to kill a bloody road, what a lunatic..."

Chapter 1002 The Final Battle ([-]) Hunting the Emperor

On the night of March 1940, 3, at the Naval Port of San Diego, United States, the Sino-US Joint Command.

"Sir! A group of Japanese submarines broke into Area No. 12 from the north!" A U.S. Navy colonel quickly ran in from the outside and handed a copy of the telegram to U.S. Navy Admiral Nimitz.Hearing this news, Luo Yaoguo, who was standing next to the chart and frowned in thought, immediately turned his head and looked at Nimitz, as if asking, "What happened? Did Yuren run away?"

"Your Excellency Marshal," Nimitz said, shaking his head, "I just received a report. About 4 Japanese submarines entered from the north of Area 12... Looking at the location, it is estimated that they came from Area 2. It should be Spotted in the morning. That is to say, they sailed out of Pearl Harbor, and Hirohito is probably on it!"

"Really kill a bloody road? Is Yuren crazy?" After listening to Nimitz's description, Luo Yaoguo had an incredulous expression on his face. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said to himself: "Impossible, Impossible. The son of a daughter can’t sit still, let alone the emperor? In this way, the probability of surviving in a submarine is at most [-]%. I don’t believe that Hirohito dared to risk his life like this. The Japanese must be playing a trick to turn the tiger away from the mountain... Hirohito must Go from another place!" Speaking of this, Luo Yaoguo thought for a while, and said to Nimitz in English: "Admiral, I think Hiroren is probably not on these submarines, and he probably left from other places."

"Marshal," Nimitz glanced at Luo Yaoguo, and said hesitantly, "Do you mean that there is still a small chance that Hiroren is on these four submarines?"

Luo Yaoguo hummed, and said to Nimitz: "Yes, all kinds of possibilities exist. Hirohito may be on these four submarines, or leave from other directions, or even not leave Oahu at all. island……"

Nimitz looked at the map with his hips on his hips, and said slowly: "Let's not consider the issue of leaving Oahu. If he is still on Oahu, he will definitely not be able to escape. If Hirohito has already left in a submarine, Our problem now is that we cannot determine which submarine he is on, and which direction he escaped from. Therefore, we can only use a stupid way to deal with him, which is to go all out to carry out anti-submarine warfare and destroy millions of square meters near the Hawaiian Islands. Kilometers of sea area turned upside down! Sink all the Japanese submarines in this sea area! Marshal Luo, what's your opinion?"
