Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2965 South China Sea Fleet Dispatches
Perhaps it is because of the reason why he served as the commander of the submarine force for a long time before. In Xu Kai's view, compared with the behemoth aircraft carrier fleet of the Takehisa (the fact that the aircraft carrier fleet of the Takehisa fleet inherited the title of the United Fleet has not been widely spread), the South China Sea Fleet is not a full-fledged fleet. No chance.To quote what he said when motivating his subordinates: "Because we have the most advanced submarine and sonar and torpedo technology in the world!"

The predecessor of the South China Sea Fleet was the Haikou Fleet, and the most outstanding part of the Haikou Fleet at the beginning of its establishment was the submarine force.You know, it is unique in the history of human naval warfare that a submarine alone can sink and injure an enemy aircraft carrier without harming itself. During the retreat in Singapore, the submarine force commanded by Xu Kai stole the limelight.

At the beginning of the Battle of Malan, Xu Kai sent medium-sized submarines to perform support missions at the border between the Gulf of Thailand and the South China Sea.However, because the Hibuhisa aircraft carrier fleet still retained two aircraft carrier fleets operating in the coastal waters of the Malay Peninsula at that time, the South China Sea Fleet had no chance to make a move.

After the expeditionary third army captured Kampang, because Kampang was closer to the sea, it was easier for the Japanese army to obtain fire support from its naval guns. At one point, Gu Zhutong asked the South China Sea Fleet for help through the Supreme Command, hoping that the South China Sea Fleet could To curb the performance of the Japanese navy, so that they cannot unscrupulously provide artillery support for ground troops.

Gu Zhutong is actually a very strong person, under normal circumstances, he would never be able to open his mouth like this.However, because of the special terrain of the Malay Peninsula, neither side could invest in heavy artillery. As a result, the large-caliber naval guns of the Japanese Navy became the only heavy firepower on the battlefield.In a decisive battle like Ganbang’s where tens of thousands or even 10,000+ troops are often invested, one side has heavy fire support, but the other side can only be beaten passively, and the side that is passively beaten will definitely be under tremendous pressure.Maybe even lose the war because of this.However, when the air force of our own side was entangled by the Japanese air force and could not contain the Japanese naval ships, asking for help from the South China Sea Fleet had actually become the only option for the third army on an expedition.

Because of the former glory of the Haikou Fleet, the predecessor of the South China Sea Fleet, after sending a telegram for help to the Supreme Command, Gu Zhutong and the others placed high hopes on Xu Kai and the others, hoping that their appearance could contain the devil's ships so that the devil could not Then unscrupulously bombard the positions of the Expeditionary Third Army with heavy artillery.However, the greater the so-called hope, the greater the disappointment.At least so far, because the South China Sea Fleet has hardly made a sound, gradually, Gu Zhutong and the others are completely disappointed with this once powerful fleet in the South China Sea.

In a military meeting, Gu Zhutong understood the South China Sea Fleet's "inaction" in order to stabilize the morale of the army: "Maybe we are too demanding. After all, the devils have aircraft carriers, but they don't! It's okay, we can do nothing without the navy." Victory! At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the devil’s planes were flying all over the sky, and tanks were crawling all over the ground. We had nothing. Haven’t we persisted? Now that we have such advanced weapons and such comprehensive logistics supplies, there is no reason why we cannot defeat the little devil !"

Gu Zhutong and the others had given up hope for the South China Sea Fleet, but Xu Kai and the others never gave up.

In fact, although the South China Sea Fleet did not speak out in the Battle of Kampang and the Battle of Malan, they have always clearly and unmistakably demonstrated their existence in the Gulf of Thailand.It is precisely because the submarine force of the South China Sea Fleet has been lurking in the Gulf of Thailand that the devil's aircraft carrier and ships dare not go deep into the Gulf of Thailand.This also means that the Japanese Navy cannot go around behind the Expeditionary Third Army and attack the barracks, arsenals, and supply stations of the Expeditionary Third Army from the sea.

The war in the Pacific was tense. Under the pressure of the United States, Toshiichiro Koizumi had to transfer an aircraft carrier fleet to the southern waters of the Philippines in the Pacific Ocean.When Xu Kai got the information that there was only one Japanese aircraft carrier fleet left in the coast of Singapore, Xu Kai said to his brother, "It's time for us to take action!"

In order to play a role in the Battle of Malan and demonstrate the South China Sea Fleet's control over the South China Sea, Xu Kai and the others have already made sufficient preparations.Therefore, when Xu Kai felt that the time was right to dispatch, the Spring and Autumn aircraft carrier fleet under the South China Sea Fleet, two mixed fleets and a submarine fleet boarded, like sharks smelling blood, cheering towards the established plan. Their respective destinations rushed over.

In addition to a support aircraft carrier, the South China Sea Fleet also has two heavy cruisers that can barely be regarded as large ships, and the rest are all small and medium-sized ships.So Xu Kai knew very well that even if they could control the enemy and take the lead, the South China Sea Fleet did not have the strength to fight a tough battle face-to-face with the Changwu aircraft carrier fleet that the devil left to watch.

"The success or failure of this battle depends on your performance!" Before departure, Xu Kai told Liu Xiaoshen, the commander of the ship force, on the deck of the aircraft carrier Chunqiu.

Liu Xiaoshen is a silent young man, and also the first apprentice brought out by Xu Kai.Because Xu Kai once said that this is Liu Xiaoshen's graduation exam, so Liu Xiaoshen replied generously: "Master, don't worry, we will give you a satisfactory answer sheet."

"Fight if you can, and flee if you can't. If you don't fight, you must fight. If you fight, you must aim at the vital point! Well, I wish you success!"

Xu Kai led his troops to the expedition with great fanfare for a purpose, hoping to attract the attention of the Japanese navy through the noise created by the ships on the water, so as to provide cover for Liu Xiaoshen and the others.

Xu Kai knew very well that if the South China Sea Fleet wanted to play a role in the Battle of Malan, the key was whether it could pre-emptively sink the only aircraft carrier left by the Devil in Singapore by means of a sneak attack.

The aircraft carrier Chunqiu carries no more than fifteen aircraft, three of which are sea fighters.Therefore, it does not have the ability to confront the Changwu aircraft carrier head-on.Then, if the aircraft carrier Changwu cannot be sank first, and the aircraft carrier Changwu is allowed to release its carrier-based aircraft, even though the water fleet of the South China Sea Fleet has a certain air defense capability after being equipped with a large number of ship-to-air missiles, it will always be passively attacked Under such circumstances, its final end can only be a desperate retracement.This is absolutely unacceptable to Xu Kai.Because he knew that with the Japanese army on guard, it would be even more difficult for the South China Sea Fleet to make any achievements.

Liu Xiaoshen led the eleven Song-class submarines to set off first. They will detour along the South Island and drill into the Gulf of Thailand. After joining the five Song-class submarines there, they will start the mission of poaching the Changwu aircraft carrier.Three hours after Liu Xiaoshen and the others set off, Xu Kai drove in the direction of Zengmu Shoal with other water ships and three Song-class and 24 Ming-class submarines.
