    On the sea in the distance, thunder roared, and the strong wind rolled up the foaming waves. Although it was hundreds of nautical miles away from the center of the storm, driven by the stirred ocean currents, it was also driven by the waves rushing on the sea.  The fleet caused a lot of trouble.

    On this pitch-black sea, a submarine was plowing through the waves. Due to the strong wind and waves, the submarine's boat tilted high from time to time, and then submerged under the water, sailing tenaciously toward the northwest.

    This is the southeastern sea area of ????Weihaiwei, more than 20 nautical miles away from Liugong Island. This submarine that is sailing at high speed is the attack submarine of the Chinese Navy, the No. 9 ship numbered 009, captain Fan Yuan's novel chapter  .

    Fangyuan and his submarine have been swimming in the waters between Taiwan and Japan since the beginning of the war. With the excellent performance of the Seawolf-class ocean-going submarine and the Japanese's unfamiliarity with submarines, they have sunk them one after another in more than half a month.  There are more than 20 Japanese merchant ships and warships, with a total tonnage of more than 40,000 tons, and their military achievements are impressive.  Of course, in several large and small battles with the Japanese Navy, Fang Yuan and his No. 9 ship also suffered several losses at the hands of the Japanese. Although they occupied the right time and place, the excellent quality of the Japanese Navy, in a sneak attack,  A shell from a Japanese light cruiser of more than 1,000 tons almost sank the command tower of the No. 9 ship. Fortunately, the shell only missed it. Although the shell of one side of the submarine was slightly damaged, according to regulations, it still needs to return.  for repairs.  However, before Fangyuan and the others had time to return to prepare for repairs, they received the latest order from the radio. The Navy Department ordered them to rush to Weihaiwei to participate in the encirclement and suppression campaign against the Japanese task force.

    The whole journey from the East China Sea to the Yellow Sea is thousands of miles long. Fortunately, the navy also arranged a number of supply ships to supply them in the open sea along the way. After several days of traveling, the No. 9 ship finally arrived at its destination, and the Republic of China Navy launched a full-scale counterattack  , the time is about to launch a campaign of encirclement and suppression of the Japanese fleet.

    "Report, there is a call from the command tower, the No. 9 ship is immediately organized into the first detachment, the previous coordinates are xxx, xxx sea area, waiting for the next order!"

    "The order is received and executed immediately!"

    "yes!"

    Fang Yuan controlled the periscope and looked at the sea level for a while. It took a lot of effort to calm down the turbulent mood in his heart.

    The decisive battle with the Japanese Navy, what exciting words.  As a member of the Republic of China Navy, who has truly forgotten the shame of the Beiyang Navy in the past? It was like a curse, corroding their group of soldiers who guarded the maritime frontiers of the Republic of China every moment.  In my heart, I cannot forget it for a moment.

    It¡¯s going to rain, and a storm is coming from the sea, spreading for hundreds of sea miles, and everything is shrouded in darkness.  According to the intelligence, knowing that the Japanese fleet had arrived in the nearby waters, it was inevitable that the enemy would discover their ambush circle in advance. Fang Yuan had to sail on the sea very carefully.  He didn't feel relieved until it was completely dark.  So an order was issued to call the submariners who had been suffocating in the submarine for most of the day to the deck, allowing them to breathe fresh air, take a few puffs of cigarettes, relax their tense nerves, and wait for the war to come.

    Half an hour ago, there was a storm on the sea.  After a while, the wind and waves became stronger and stronger, and the sea conditions became worse and worse.

    The first detachment where Fang Yuan's No. 9 ship is located is located about 20 nautical miles northeast of Liugong Island. All the underwater submarine forces gathered here.  However, because it is an offshore area, except for the No. 9 ship and the other two Seawolf-class ocean-going submarines, the other nine submarines are all offshore defense submarines. The first few submarines to arrive have been lurking here for four hours.  Today, everyone is still anxiously waiting for the war to come.

    While the first detachment was waiting, in the sea not far south of the first detachment, the Republic of China Navy task force led by Liu Guanxiong was about to arrive at Liugong Island.

    ¡°The fleet left port one day ago, and based on intelligence, it unexpectedly sank two Japanese destroyers that were cleaning up the Chinese mines on the sea. Not long after, they were targeted by the Japanese Navy, which had been preparing to wipe out the main force of the Republic of China Navy.  Not long after, this task force had a brief battle with the Japanese Navy's leading fleet and began to withdraw. However, because most of the Republic of China warships were old and refurbished warships, their speed was not as fast as many of Japan's new warships. As a result, both sides chased each other.  It has been unable to escape the lock of the Japanese fleet.  Now a day has passed since they were chasing and escaping. Seeing that the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, it is now less than 5 nautical miles. This task force has basically fallen into the Japanese encirclement.

    "Report, according to the telegram from Weihai, there is a fleet lurking in the northeast and southeast of us. The enemy has not discovered our ambush yet, and now more than half of the ships have entered our encirclement!"

    "Report, the first detachment of the ambush fleet sent an encrypted telegram!"    "read¡­¡­"

    "Yes, the first detachment called. The first Japanese task force has sailed into the ambush circle from seven nautical miles away from our garrison area. Our unit is about to close its doors and wait for counterattack orders!"

    "Where did the second, third, and fourth detachments of the ambush fleet arrive?"

    "The main forces of the second and third detachments are basically in place. Because of the new order, the fourth detachment has been sent to lurk in the rear, waiting to ambush the Japanese reinforcement fleet that may appear."

    "How are the preparations on Liugong Island?"

    "Yes, the three strengthened bombing formations, each with five fighter jets and ten bombers, have replenished their elixirs and are waiting for orders to take off. However, a surveyor on the island predicted that due to the storm in the southwest sea, the bombing formations were forced to take off.  There are certain risks"

    Liu Guanxiong frowned and said displeased, "What do you mean by the Army Aviation? Is it because they are not prepared to take off for combat just because of a little risk? As for our navy, we will go up if there is danger"

    "that¡­¡­"

    The staff officer next to him was startled by his sudden and sharp scolding. He tried to speak several times but failed to do so.  After a while, Liu Guanxiong noticed his strange appearance and asked, "Why, is there anything else you want to report?"

    "NoCommander, it's the Army Aviation who reported that all the pilots of the bombing formation have written their wills, and the Army Aviation promises to take off on time"

    Cold scene

    The shock on Liu Guanxiong's face was clearly seen by several staff officers around him. It took him a long time to sigh, waved his hands and said: "Notify us and order us to change the formation. The small and medium-sized warships and supply fleets immediately left the fleet and moved at full speed.  Sail to Weihaiwei. Order the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd detachments of the ambush fleet to be ready to close down. Order the editor of Liugongdao Army Aviation to wait for my order and be ready to take off to fight at any time. Order the 4th ambush detachment to wait for the opportunity and be ready at any time.  Join the battleorder, the battleships Xinzhen, Xinding, Weiyuan, Weiwei, Weizhen, Hairong, Haichiu, and Haichen are ready for battle"

    "yes!"

    The staff officer responded and immediately went down to convey his order.

    Facing the humid sea breeze blowing from the sea, Liu Guanxiong lit a cigarette for himself and watched as he left the group, led by the light cruiser "Feihong", the light cruiser "Zhaohe", and the light cruiser "Yingrui"  , sailing at full speed to the supply fleet of Weihaiwei, Liu Guanxiong sighed, "That's all I can do for the Navy of the Republic of China. I hope I can leave some wealth for the future navy!"

    The gray hair is fluttering up and down with the sea breeze. No one knows whether this battle can be won!

    On the dim sea level, facing the violent waves, a huge fleet was like a long dragon, tearing through the rolling waves, riding the wind and waves.

    "That's Liugong Island, and not far ahead is Weihai Bay, right?"

    Putting down the telescope, others in the mountain house murmured to themselves.

    A large-scale fleet is struggling to move forward on this turbulent sea, heading due north.  Formed into two columns, the majority were combat ships, and the rest were transport ships and coal ships. All ships were flying the rising sun flag.

    This is the main force of the Japanese China Task Force, which has gathered almost half of the combat power of the Japanese Navy. It sails towards Liugong Island. Although the sea conditions are bad, it does not affect the speed of the fleet. The average speed of the entire fleet now exceeds 11 knots.  , which is almost the limit of the sailing speed of those transport ships.  In order to keep up with the main fleet, those transport ships desperately added coal to the boilers, and the smoke emitted billowing black smoke straight into the sky. The black smoke that filled the sea could be seen from a distance.

    "Hey, the general is right, that is Liugong Island, the place where the Imperial Navy was revived!"

    Next to the others in the mountain house, a fair-looking young Japanese navy lieutenant in his thirties answered, with excitement and pride in his words.

    Looking east from Weihai Port, you can see a towering island in the distance on the vast sea.  My friend told me that it is Liugong Island.  Weihai Haikou runs north to south, and the coastline stretches forward evenly, forming a half-moon-shaped bay.  Viewed from a high place, the bay looks like the outstretched arms of a loving mother, and Liugong Island is located in front of the chest slowly surrounded by the two arms.  In 1888, when the Beiyang Navy was established, a telegraph office, a naval school, a Beiyang Navy admiral's office, and an iron pier were set up on the island, making it the birthplace of the Beiyang Navy, China's first modern navy.  In 1894, the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War took place in the eastern waters of the island.

    In the modern history of the Republic of China, Liugong Island is destined to become an eternal pain in the hearts of the Chinese people, because just over twenty years ago, on February 14, 1895, the Beiyang Navy of the Qing Dynasty signed the "Liu Gong Island" to the invaders here.  Island Surrender Agreement".  All 10 Beiyang Navy warships were decorated with the rising sun flag of Japan.  ?After the remaining "Kangji" was disarmed, it carried the corpse coffins of six Beiyang naval generals, including Ding Ruchang, Liu Buchan, Yang Yonglin, Dai Zongqian, Shen Shouchang, and Huang Zulian, and left sadly.

    The Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War ended with the victory of the invaders and the disastrous defeat of the invaded. The Beiyang Navy, which had once been awe-inspiring at home and abroad, was completely destroyed.  Two months later, on April 17, Li Hongzhang, who was more than one billion people below the two men of the Qing Dynasty, signed the "Eleven Articles of the Sino-Japanese Peace Treaty" with Japanese Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito in Shimonoseki, Japan, commonly known as "  Treaty of Shimonoseki.  The "Treaty" is called the "Sino-Japanese Peace Treaty". In fact, every clause of the treaty caused the Chinese people to suffer great humiliation: ceding the Liaodong Peninsula, the entire island of Taiwan and all affiliated islands, and the Penghu Islands; compensating Japan's military expenditure of 200 million yuan in silver  ¡­What¡¯s even more exasperating is that six days after the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki, Russia summoned France and Germany to intervene on the grounds that the ¡°Treaty¡± infringed on their interests in China.  Unable to resist, Japan was forced to accept the terms of the Three Kingdoms. As a result, the Qing government was asked to spend 30 million in silver to "redeeme" its territory and give it to another country.

    This young navy lieutenant indeed has the qualifications to be proud and proud, although at his age it is impossible for him to participate in the battle that destroyed the Beiyang Fleet of the First Navy in the Far East more than 20 years ago.  However, his father Nagayama Hideiro participated in that naval battle and seriously damaged a battleship of the Beiyang Navy. After the war, he was personally received by Emperor Meiji and was promoted to rear admiral within twenty years.

    As a descendant of a victor, he does have something to be proud of now that he has returned to the place that brought glory to the empire in the past.

    However, others in Shanwu did not have any happy thoughts in their hearts.  He still raised his telescope and looked at the completely darkened sea level in the distance, looking in the direction of the main fleet of the Republic of China Navy that they were holding on to, and frowned.
