Fengxian Jiangshan

Zhang Tinglan sent Chang Yinhuai away, and the next day, the negotiations between Fengjun and the Japanese still had no progress, and the attitude of the Japanese became more and more arrogant. They not only refused to give up Luda, but also demanded that Fengjun compensate them loss.It is simply to want Fengjun to follow the example of the Qing Dynasty, and to have another victorious Sino-French war.

How could Gu Weijun agree? He and the Japanese were arguing with reason. If the British hadn't tried their best to mediate, the negotiation would have been in danger of breaking down. This made Zhang Tinglan extra vigilant, and issued an order to enter the highest combat readiness to the armed forces.

At this time, on the vast sea, a huge fleet was rapidly sailing into the Bohai Sea, heading towards Huludao.

This is the Japanese Combined Fleet. At the core is the newly launched battleship Nagato, followed by a large battleship, the Ise.In addition to the two large warships, there are more than a dozen frigates of various types, forming a continuous raid fleet, heading straight for Huludao, the largest naval base of the Feng army.

Chapter 671 Confrontation at the Port

"Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. Since the beginning of the war, everyone has been working very hard. You should take a good rest. But I want to tell you that the Japanese are likely to launch a sneak attack tonight, attacking our coastline and even the submarine base. The battle is not ours. I want to choose, but when the battle comes, we can’t be afraid, all the submarines will sail, once we are attacked, we will launch unlimited submarine warfare against the Japanese, and let the island nation taste the power of underwater wolves!”

Shen Honglie gave a pre-war mobilization speech to all the submarine members. He said to everyone: "It is very likely that Huludao will be severely hit. The command headquarters is already in Yingkou, and a spare submarine base has been built in Vladivostok. You can also use it nearby. In addition, if the Japanese insist on going to war, everyone will fight to the death!"

After the order was issued, all the submarine soldiers acted immediately, and prepared to sail at the fastest speed.Shen Honglie looked at the busy crowd, he was also carrying heavy pressure on his shoulders, he was almost out of breath.

Don't look at the King Kong and Kirishima that were killed before, but that was completely unexpected. The Fengjun has never fought a serious naval battle.Especially when the opponent is the United Fleet, the strongest force on the water in Asia, it is inevitable that they will be nervous.

In fact, it's not just him, even Zhang Tinglan is the same. Feng Jun now has no large surface ships, so he can't fight the Japanese at sea.As for submarines, which are experts in sneak attacks, they are best at dealing with merchant ships. It is simply unrealistic to expect a submarine formation to fight a decisive battle with Japanese surface ships.

Therefore, before the war, all the submarines were scattered and let the submarines cruise on the ocean as a counterattack force. Anyway, as long as the Japanese disrupted the peace talks, the Fengjun would adopt unlimited submarine warfare.Fight to the end with the Japanese to see who has the greater loss.

Of course, apart from submarines, Feng Jun had to have other preparations. Shen Honglie had already dispatched mine-laying boats.A mine array was quietly laid outside the port of Huludao.

Sea mines are a good self-protection weapon. They are placed outside the port and can effectively prevent enemy sneak attacks.Since the beginning of the war, we should vigorously deploy naval mines.However, due to Feng Jun's inexperience, he ignored this problem.It was not until the cloud of war came that Zhang Tinglan suddenly remembered.

Not only need to lay mines outside your own port, but also go to the Japanese port.Among Fengjun's submarines, three Seawolf-class submarines were tasked with deploying mines.

besides.Shen Honglie gathered all the torpedo boats again.If underwater submarines are wolf pack tactics, then these torpedo boats are ant colony tactics. Facing large Japanese warships, they have to rely on their own speed advantage to rush up and release torpedoes.

There is no doubt that this is a very dangerous attack, and there may even be no return, but everyone has no complaints.This is Fengjun sea power.Since its establishment, it has been the biggest test of life and death, and everyone must show the strength to risk their lives.

While the Feng army was actively preparing for the war, the huge Japanese fleet was also rapidly approaching Huludao. The commander in charge of this fleet was Lieutenant General Takeshita Isamu. This guy was the commander of the Japanese First Fleet. Nagato and The two large warships, Ise, are the core force of the First Fleet.

Compared with the King Kong-class battleships of British origin, these two warships are more powerful and use more Japanese technology. The Nagato was completely designed and built by the Japanese. It can be called the pride of the Japanese navy and the patron saint of the country.

According to the tradition of Shintoism in Japan, all things are spirits. After the Nagato was launched, there was also a large shrine, which was worshiped by the Japanese.

Being able to send out this ace warship also shows that the Japanese attach importance to this operation.Being defeated by the Feng army and finally being forced to negotiate peace is a very shameless thing, and it is simply unacceptable for the Japanese.They must save face and rely on the army to fight back. The Japanese government feels that it is unreliable.

Counting the Sixth Division, six divisions of the army have already fallen into the hands of Feng Jun, which indeed frightened the Japanese a little.Therefore, they can only start from the sea and destroy Huludao, which will destroy Fengjun's shipbuilding foundation and delay the development of Fengjun's sea power.

After repeated weighing, this became the best choice, but the Japanese also have concerns, that is, if Feng Jun's submarine sinks the warship, they will cry to death.At this time, the Japanese suddenly got a batch of mysterious ships, and someone actually provided them with timely help, which immediately gave the Japanese enough confidence, so they decided to make a desperate decision to attack Huludao.

Isamu Takeshita sat in the spacious command room of the Nagato, with a proud sneer on his face: "The Nagato is the most powerful warship in the empire. It is invincible in all battles, and it is easy to attack a small China!"

"The commander is so right. According to intelligence, the Chinese people thought they had defeated the empire. I heard that they are preparing to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. There are lanterns and festoons everywhere. The government also distributes rice dumplings for free to the people, and the army is also on vacation. gone."

Takeshita Yong's face was full of ferocity: "Let them be happy, after tonight, the Chinese people will have a funeral."

While talking, suddenly there was an alarm sound outside, Takeshita Yu suddenly stood up, and hurriedly asked: "What's going on?"

Not long after, his subordinates ran in and said out of breath: "Report to the commander, the anti-submarine ship has found a Chinese submarine and is chasing it. Our fleet has not suffered any damage."

When Isamu Takeshita heard this, he finally showed a smug smile. The secret weapon finally worked. He couldn't help laughing and said, "China's submarines are no longer a threat. It's time for the warriors of the empire to show their talents!"

Just when Takeshita was arrogant and triumphant, a submarine was undergoing the test of life and death in the water not far away, and the captain of this submarine was Tang Junyao.He was carrying a submarine and was cruising on the Bohai Sea. Originally, he was planning to go to the sea off Lushun to attack Japanese merchant ships, but suddenly found a huge fleet rushing towards him.

When prey came, Tang Junyao immediately ordered to dive into the water, ready to launch an attack. He had already locked his target on the Ise, which was relatively outside. The huge hull made Tang Junyao's blood boil.

But just as he was about to surface and launch an attack, suddenly a Japanese warship rushed straight over, and the artillery on it opened fire violently at them.Tang Junyao was shocked, and hurriedly ordered to dive.

They narrowly escaped the artillery, but the opponent immediately released the depth charge. When Tang Junyao and the others were diving, they felt a dull sound, followed by a strong water pressure, and the submarine groaned in pain.

There was a sound of metal tearing, and Tang Junyao immediately felt bad. It seemed that his submarine was in danger.At this critical moment of life and death, Tang Junyao still maintained the calmness of an excellent commander.

Why did the Japanese discover the submarine so quickly, and what is the purpose of the warship rushing over!Tang Junyao's mind suddenly thought of a very bad possibility, the Japanese's anti-submarine ability has improved.

"Captain, it's not good, water is pouring in!" A soldier said in a panic.

Tang Junyao didn't care about him, but went to the transmitter and said in a hurry: "Send a report to the headquarters, the Japanese fleet is very likely equipped with anti-submarine sonar, let all submarines be more vigilant, and don't attack Japan rashly. fleet."

After this telegram was sent out, Tang Junyao also relaxed a lot. A lot of seawater had seeped into the submarine, and the cracks in the hull were getting bigger and bigger. If he continued to stay in the water, he might be completely doomed.He could only order to float up. Of course, he was not prepared to stand still, but to prepare the torpedo. Once the Japanese warship continued to chase, he had to risk his life.

But when they came up to the surface, the Japanese fleet had gone far away, and only a hazy black shadow could be seen on the sea.

Tang Junyao's telegram had already been delivered to Shen Honglie. When he saw the news, Shen Honglie was shocked. According to Fengjun's information, the Japanese were extremely backward in anti-submarine technology, but according to Tang Junyao's description, the Japanese should be equipped with specialized anti-submarine ships.

There was a big discrepancy between this and the information, and Shen Honglie couldn't help being furious. Originally, he had hoped that the submarine would make new achievements, but now he knew that the submarine might become the prey of the Japanese. It was simply too bad.

"Quickly, notify all submarines, strengthen their vigilance, and don't rashly attack Japanese warships."

Shen Honglie hastily issued this order, but it was still too late. Just when the Japanese fleet was about to approach Huludao, a submarine tried to launch an attack, but was hit by the Japanese warship's guns, and immediately sank to the bottom of the sea, becoming Feng The army's first sunk submarine, all officers and soldiers of the ship died.

The threat of the submarine was removed, and Isamu Takeshita was about to go crazy with joy. His fleet finally approached the Huludao Naval Port in the dark.Seeing the tempting prey in front of them, the Japanese also became crazy. The main gun of the Nagato is an out-and-out treasure and will not be fired at will, but all the secondary guns have been aimed in the direction of Huludao.

It was the beginning of the month, and there was not much moonlight yet, but with the starlight, the outline of the military port could be made out.The two destroyers rushed to the forefront, ready to approach and bombard.

Suddenly, a warship seemed to be electrocuted, a huge flame burst out from the bow of the ship, the violent explosion sent the warship out of the water, and then fell heavily on the sea surface, revealing a huge wound on the bow , the sea water poured in quickly, and the warship sank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Mines!

Isamu Takeshita suddenly turned pale with fright. According to the intelligence, didn't the Chinese people not lay mines? What's going on?

Chapter 672 The British Black Hand

After nightfall, the military port of Huludao, including the main urban area, all entered a state of battle, the people were all evacuated, and the three forts around the port were ready for battle.

Shen Honglie personally sat in command, and the whole air seemed to be frozen. Ever since he received the telegram from Tang Junyao, Shen Honglie was also in a cold sweat. The Japanese really launched an attack on Fengjun at the Dragon Boat Festival. Be prepared to deal with it, otherwise Fengjun will definitely suffer heavy losses, and the navy's fortune may be lost even if this is not the case.

Thinking of this, Shen Honglie became even more angry. No matter what, he had to give the Japanese a little color and let them taste the real pain.

"Commander, the Japanese fleet is coming, and a destroyer has just hit a mine." Chen Jiliang hurried over to report the situation.

Shen Honglie said with a sneer: "It's here after all, notify all the forts and warships, and fight immediately!"

In fact, Shen Honglie didn't need to give orders, the battle had already started, and the Japanese warships had already started shooting towards the port.On the vast sea, the warships fired salvos, and the huge flames from the muzzles lit up the sea.
