    Tang Qiuquan's eyes suddenly opened, and a cold light flashed, "Order, the troops set off immediately!" He said briefly and forcefully, and the staff members who stood in front of the phone immediately conveyed the order to each unit.

    The military port where the attack started began to commotion. Ships filled with soldiers and landing ships filled with tanks and armored vehicles blew their low whistles and slowly left the port. They formed formations on the sea and met those waiting on the sea.  The fleets on the sea met, divided into four different directions, and sailed towards the depths of the undulating sea.

    On the field airport, dozens of reconnaissance planes took off first to conduct preliminary reconnaissance on the planned route of the troop transport fleet. The huge antenna of the ground radar station rotated regularly to collect all suspicious signals. At this time,  Dawn has not yet broken in the eastern sky.

    In the sea between Shandong Peninsula and Liaodong Peninsula, a series of small islands form the island group in this area, including Daqin Island, North and South City God Temple Island, and the sea water in Bohai Bay is churning, constantly hitting the rocks and rolling up.  White waves, Manchukuo's Bohai Cruise Fleet, more than twenty old warships, are quietly lurking among these islands, not daring to move.

    We must also thank the Empire of Japan for being stingy when it presented Manchukuo warships. These dilapidated warships are all of small tonnage. Otherwise, the sea area between these islands would definitely not be able to accommodate the Manchukuo Bohai Cruise Fleet, with more than 20 warships hiding.  of.

    Fleet Commander Mitsuru Urayama sat in the command cabin with a gloomy face and said nothing. Colonel Mitsuru Urayama previously served in the First Fleet of the Imperial Navy as the captain of a destroyer.  In the Eastern Pacific, during a naval battle with the US fleet.  He lost an arm. Two years ago, he was transferred to Manchuria by the Navy Department, where he served as the commander of Manchukuo's Bohai Cruise Fleet. His military rank was also promoted from lieutenant colonel to colonel.

    However, before coming to Manchuria, Colonel Urasama was quite unhappy inside and felt that he had been assigned.  But after arriving in Manchuria, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his life in Manchuria was quite nurturing. He was a later-promoted naval commander, but in the Imperial Navy, he was a small role that could not make it to the forefront.  But it was completely different in Manchuria. He not only served as the commander of the fleet, but also as the minister of the Navy of Manchukuo.

    In other words, the entire Manchukuo navy is under its own command and is under the Manchukuo government.  He is also a man who stomps his feet and trembles. As for his salary and extra income, it is dozens of times more than when he served in the Imperial Fleet. Not only that, but there are countless other ways to make extra money.  For example, the cost of repairing warships.  It was enough to make the Emperor of Manchukuo spend millions of taels of silver every year. Of course, about half of it would go into the personal pocket of His Excellency Colonel.

    Speaking of which, Colonel Urayama is really grateful for the stinginess of the empire. If all the warships given to Manchukuo were brand-new warships, there would be no decent chance for him to make money. In just two years, Colonel Urayama became extremely rich.  He bought a mansion in his hometown in Hokkaido. According to Urayama Mitsuru's plan, he would earn a golden ticket in the Manchukuo Navy for a few more years. Then, citing physical discomfort, he would apply for retirement and return to his hometown to become a real rich man.

    As for fighting for the emperor of Manchukuo, Colonel Urayama is not that stupid. Therefore, in the past few years, the Manchukuo Bohai Sea Cruise Fleet has been cautious and dare not go out of its way. Even normal cruises in the outer seas have been cancelled.  , His Majesty the Colonel will never forget that two years ago in the waters of Liaodong Bay, the captain of one of his warships acted excessively and arbitrarily attacked a Chinese fishing boat.

    As a result, they suffered ferocious retaliation from the Northern Flying Group of the Independent Division Aviation Force. The entire warship, together with more than a hundred sailors on board, sank to the bottom of Liaodong Bay to feed the sharks. After that, Colonel Urayama gave strict instructions to the fleet.  All warships are not allowed to patrol the sea without authorization. Don't seek no success but no fault? Your Excellency Colonel has no intention of staying in Manchuria.

    However, Urayama Mitsuru's happy life of dawdling around, taking money, and playing with women was completely ended last night by the overnight visit of Kwantung Army Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Matsuda and Kwantung Army Air Force Commander Major General Haneda.

    To be fair, Colonel Mitsuru Urayama was never willing to accept such a death mission. He had a lot of money waiting for him to spend it, but General Nanjiro's orders could not be disobeyed. In addition, Lieutenant General Matsuda, the chief of staff of the headquarters, personally supervised  If you don't execute the formation, your head will be moved, and you will be known as a sinner of the Japanese Empire. Therefore, Urayama Mitsuru led the fleet with no choice but to set sail overnight. After several hours of rough and tumble, he finally arrived at the ambush.  sea ??area.

    Seeing that it was getting dark, Colonel Urasama asked Major Xiao Zhao, the chief of staff of the fleet, "Xiao Zhaojun, have you found any traces of the China fleet and the troop transport fleet?" His Excellency Colonel asked with a glimmer of hope. Today  It is not the day when the independent division troops cross the sea to attack. In this case, the Bohai Cruise Fleet will no longer be able to attack in this area.Haiyu then lurked and returned home, not even General Nanjiro could find fault with him.

    Major Xiao Zhao shook his head and replied: "So far, no sign of the independent division fleet has been found. Your Excellency, Commander, should we send a reconnaissance speedboat with a radio to conduct reconnaissance in the direction of the Shandong Peninsula?"

    Chief of Staff Xiao Zhao came with very professional suggestions, but he had no direction. A trace of relief flashed through His Excellency Colonel's eyes, and he said in a lecturing tone: "Xiao Zhaojun, you don't understand now, we are fighting  It's an ambush battle, and it's all about surprise and sudden action. If a reconnaissance speedboat is sent out, wouldn't it be possible to expose the target? The fleet is ordered to maintain radio silence. Without my order, no ships will be allowed to attack without authorization! "

    "I was serving in the Imperial Navy. When I was fighting a bloody battle with the American fleet in the Pacific, Xiao Zhaojun must have just entered the Imperial Naval Academy, right? He still needs to train in battle!" Colonel Mitsuru Urayama began to show off his credentials and show off his seniority.  , as the chief of staff, Major Xiao Zhao, could only listen. In his heart, he was so angry that he wanted to slap this old guy who was missing an arm on the fat face.

    From the moment the fleet set sail, Chief of Staff Xiao Zhao realized that Commander Urasama Manchu was timid and fearful from the bottom of his heart regarding the passiveness of this generous mission to die. He, his pampered boss who only knew how to make money, was not worthy of doing this at all.  An officer of the Imperial Japanese Navy, his soul has been corrupted by money. Major Xiaozhao couldn't figure out why the Imperial Navy allowed such a scum of the Imperial Navy to serve as the commander of a fleet for two years?

    Chief of Staff Xiao Zhao has already thought about it. If he is lucky enough to survive in this feat, he will definitely go to the Navy Department to truthfully report the facts. Of course, the prerequisite is that he can survive the suicide attack. I hope  It was extremely slim. For such a result, Chief of Staff Xiao Zhao was full of excited expectations. For the hegemony of the Japanese Empire, wouldn't it be the best destination for an imperial naval officer to be able to sleep in the blue sea water?

    Colonel Mitsuru Urayama fully hoped that the independent division's fleet and troop transport fleet would not come today, or, with better luck, the route they passed would bypass this island. In that case, he would not have to commit suicide.  , it¡¯s a pity that General Nanjiro had a reasonable explanation. He completed the mission and saved his life. Is it the best of both worlds? If possible, His Excellency Colonel would even find a way to remind the Chinese people. Of course, this is just wishful thinking.  !

    Colonel Urayama's relaxation lasted for less than ten minutes. "Ding, ring, bell!" The phone in the cabin rang rapidly. It was so sudden that it made Colonel shiver with fright. Chief of Staff Xiao Zhao, with his quick hands and eyes, rang.  Captain Urayama got ahead of him and answered the phone, "I'm the Fleet Command. What's going on?"

    "Hani? - The Chinese fleet and troop transport fleet were discovered, coming towards the sea area where we ambush. Is this true? - Yoxi! I will report to the Commander immediately, please pay attention and observe!" In Xiao Zhao  When the Chief of Staff was talking on the phone, Colonel Mitsuru Urayama's face looked as grim as a dead person. He lamented in his heart: "Damn it, what are you afraid of? The independent division's fleet is really here, Amaterasu, His Majesty the Emperor.  ! Could it be that I, Pu Shanman, am destined to be shattered here today?¡±

    Putting down the phone, Chief of Staff Xiao Zhao completely ignored Commander Pu Shanman's dead expression, rubbed his hands excitedly, and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, I received a report from the lookout troops and discovered the Chinese fleet and troop transport fleet.  We are coming towards our ambush sea area. We will enter our ambush sea area in about an hour. Commander, the time has come to make contributions to the Empire of Japan. Please give the order immediately and the fleet will be ready to attack immediately.  !¡±

    The thing he was worried about finally came. Mantazuo Pushan was in a state of confusion. He definitely didn¡¯t want to die. He hadn¡¯t spent a lot of money yet. Wouldn¡¯t it be a pity to die like this? ¡°Xiao Zhaojun, I feel unwell because of the investment. I¡¯m afraid  I have a heart attack, and I am afraid that I will not be able to fulfill the important task of commanding the fleet. Now, in the name of the commander of the Manchukuo Bohai Cruise Fleet, I officially announce that the chief of staff of the fleet, Major Xiao Zhao, will serve as the temporary commander of the fleet and have full authority to command the fleet.  Fight!"

    Colonel Mitsuru Urayama's words were announced to all the officers in the command cabin. Then, he said to the ship's military doctor: "Military Medical Officer Sanyou, come to my cabin immediately and check my condition!" After that, in  Under the strange eyes of the officers, they left the command cabin without looking back.

    When Colonel Mitsuru Urayama left, there was not a single officer to see him off. These Japanese naval officers all knew in their hearts that the fleet was about to launch a heroic suicide attack. At this critical moment, Commander  Your Excellency suddenly fell ill and handed over the command. Isn't his intention obvious?

    In the eyes of Chief of Staff Xiao Zhao,There were bursts of cold air, and he said coldly: "Coward! Coward! The scum of the Imperial Navy!"
