    The situation was urgent, and the captains couldn't care less about protecting the engine, and all increased the power to the maximum. The four 037 patrol boats galloped through the waves at a high speed of nearly 50 knots, as if they were flying close to the water from a distance.

    Ding Yuanqi, the commander of this mission and the captain of one of the small boats, manipulated the rudder very skillfully, and the small boat he was driving rushed to the front of the formation.  This Ding Yuan is also one of the national navy that followed Zhang Beihai. He was born in the Naval Academy of the Republic of China. He was the first officer on the "Chu Qian" gunboat before.  Both theory and actual combat experience are very rich. More importantly, Ding Yuanqiao has systematically studied the use, deployment and various tactics of mines when he was trained in the UK in his early years. He is one of the few people in the national army and navy who is very proficient in mine warfare.  One, during the Battle of Jiangyin, he led people to lay the mines that blocked the Yangtze River route.  It is naturally very appropriate for him to command the execution of this task now.

    It took less than 3 hours for the formation of small boats advancing at super high speed to reach the waters of Beijiucheng Island.  Immediately, the four small boats began to lay mines under Ding Yuan's command. Because they are smart mines, after setting the response value of the sensor, there is no need to worry about accidentally bombing a Chinese fishing boat, so Ding Yuan asked everyone to carry  All 60 mines were laid in one go, and these mines were arranged in three rows with an interval of 800 meters, completely sealing off the roadway. Unless those Japanese warships could fly, otherwise, as long as they passed by, they would 100% meet these water mines.  Get the killer to have a close encounter.

    After the arrangement was completed, Ding Yuan led the formation and hid behind an island not far away, waiting for the arrival of the Japanese reinforcement fleet with peace of mind.

    Just as Ding Yuan raised his feet and stared at the northern waters with his binoculars, a sailor on the boat suddenly asked nervously: "BoatCaptain, do we really want to ambush the Japanese reinforcement fleet?"

    Ding Yuan turned his head and glanced at him, and explained: "It's not an ambush, it's just letting the little devil retreat automatically, but the meaning is the same!"

    The sailor swallowed, and said even more nervously: "But I heard that this Japanese reinforcement fleet is escorted by more than a dozen warships, and there is also a light cruiser. I heard from veterans that the smallest ship of this kind is also  More than 3,000 tons and more than 100 meters long, it looks like a steel hill from a distance. The barrel of the main gun on it is thicker than my calf. With our four small boats and those mines,  I'm afraid" As the sailor said, sweat dripped down his cheeks, and there was a look of fear in his eyes.  It's no wonder, he is a new soldier, he has been in the army for less than three months, and he has been on the ship for less than half a month. If there were not enough experienced veterans staying at Longkou Port, Ding Yuan would not have brought him with him.  He is a rookie, but who would have imagined that the opponent in this first battle is the constant fleet, and there is also a light cruiser called a "sea monster" by veterans.  There are so many boats, so how can he not be afraid, to be honest, it's not bad if he doesn't pee his pants.

    They all came from recruits. Ding Yuan understood the fear of the sailor very well, so he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him: "It's okay, don't look at we only have four small boats and dozens of boats.  Sea mines can still scare little devils away. Don't underestimate those sea mines. Although they look like a simple big iron block, they are veritable underwater killers. No matter how big the little devil's boat is,  As long as you encounter a few mines, you have to finish the game as usual!"

    "Really?" The sailor general said suspiciously: "But I heard from Er Gouzi, a soldier in the puppet navy in our village, that mines can only be blown up if they hit them. Our mines are so loosely arranged, the little devil's warship  Can you just bump into it with such a small back?"

    "I didn't expect you to know how mines are blown up! Okay, not bad!" Ding Yuan praised and continued to explain: "Our mines are different from the enemy's. They are all high-tech gadgets brought by Minister Li.  The devil's warship passed by, and the mine would take the initiative to hit it.  "

    Hearing such a novel thing, the sailor immediately forgot his fear, and hurriedly asked: "Captain, how did this thing find the little devil's warship? Could it also have eyes."

    "Eh" Ding Yuan was stopped by these words, even though he graduated from the Naval Academy and went to the British Navy for training, he is a serious senior intellectual.  But I don't know the principle of cross-age high-tech weapons.  Just when he was trying to find an excuse to fool him.

    The vice president who was observing the sea on the deck suddenly yelled: "The little devil's fleet is coming!"

    Ding Yuan hurried to the deck, raised his binoculars to look, and sure enough, more than a dozen black smoke columns appeared on the sea level at the junction of water and sky.  Not for a while.  a row of boatsAlong with the column of smoke, it came into everyone's sight¡ªit was the reinforcement fleet of the Japanese army.

    "Please hide it well, don't be discovered by the devils!" Ding Yuan ordered to the communications soldier, then raised his binoculars to stare at the Japanese fleet, looking at the "sea monsters" with plaster flags  "Getting closer, his heart almost jumped out of his throat with excitement

    I don't know that the danger is coming. The Japanese reinforcement fleet is still moving forward at a speed of 24 knots. The entire fleet is divided into two teams, front and rear. Four coastal defense ships escort more than 30 transport ships behind.  , but the types of ships are very messy.  In addition to regular troop carriers, there are also passenger ships, cargo ships, and even a few large iron fishing boats¡ªbecause of time constraints, the Kwantung Army could not raise enough troop carriers, so they had to take all the large ships they could find.  Let's make up the numbers.  But even so.  The number of ships is still not enough.  Every boat was packed with Japanese soldiers.  There's not even a place to put your feet on the deck.  From a distance, they look like boxes of oversized sardines.

    The leading formation consists of cruisers, destroyers and two coastal defense ships.  The large warship in the middle of the formation looks like a steel hill.  It was the light cruiser Tianlong that made the red navy sailors tremble.

    This Tianlong is the first ship of the Tianlong-class light cruiser.  Built during World War I.  It was the first light cruiser built in Japan.  Because of the lack of design experience at the time, this ship was basically an enlarged and improved version of the Isokaze-class destroyer.  The Tianlong has a displacement of 3,230 tons and is classified as a third-class cruiser according to the Navy's general classification standards.  The whole ship is equipped with four 140mm main guns, one 76mm anti-aircraft gun, two Type 93 13mm machine guns, two 533mm triple torpedo tubes and two mine laying rails that only destroyers will install.  In addition, its row count was the same as that of the destroyers built at that time reached 34 knots.

    If it is a destroyer with such tonnage, weaponry and firepower, it must be the top standard.  But if as a cruiser.  It's not enough at all.  (In fact, the combat effectiveness of the Tenryu is not even as good as the destroyers made in the 1930s!) So when the new light cruisers with larger tonnage and stronger firepower, such as Kuma, Nagara, and Sichuan Uchi, were launched, the Tenryu was eliminated from the first-line troops  .  And in 1933, it was incorporated into the garrison sequence of Lushun Port, and it stayed for nearly ten years. Even if the Pacific Ocean was open, the Ministry of the Navy still had no intention of using this grandpa-class warship.

    However, even though the Tianlong is small and old, it is still invincible in China, especially in the northern waters. Among other things, the four 140mm main guns are enough to overwhelm all national warships  .

    When the Tianlong plowed through the sea in a mighty manner and stepped forward on the waves, in its towering Cambridge, the captain and the commander of the reinforcement fleet, Masao Kimura, was holding coffee and looking at the calm sea with a face of satisfaction.  It looked as if he was not on a combat mission, but was going on vacation.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
