Biquge www.mtlnovel.com, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
On the quiet sea, a transport ship full of black coal mines is sailing slowly. Because this ship carries a lot of heavy coal, the speed can be described as crawling. It is moving carefully and wants to send the carried goods to its own country.
More than a dozen crew members are drinking sake on the ship. This kind of transportation work is already commonplace for them. During this year, they have traveled on this route at least dozens of times. Can no longer be familiar.
The Sea of Japan is an important channel between China and Japan. It is full of cargo ships between Japan and China ’s Yingkou and Fushun. Some cargo ships send guns and ammunition produced in Japan to Northeast China, and some send Japan from Northeast China. There are also coal resources snatched from the Shanxi area and shipped to Japan.
These cargo ships can almost connect in a straight line every day. This line is the lifeline of Japanese wartime, and it is the most important transportation supply channel that maintains the industrial production of the Japanese Empire. Power generation and steelmaking are all industrial activities that consume coal. Because of the lack of oil in Japan, the reliance on coal has exceeded everyone’s imagination.
Another thing that causes Japan to run out of capacity for transportation every day is food. Because most families in Japan have to allocate labor to participate in war activities, food has gradually begun to rely on the occupation of food production areas in China and South Asia to supply and replenish. Coupled with the troop carrier and the occasional passing gunboat patrol ship, the entire Sea of Japan is busy.
This coal-carrying vessel moved a little bit cautiously, because the slight overloading made this originally small transport vessel extremely bulky. The Japanese sailors on board felt the sea breeze comfortably, tasted the inferior sake, and felt the beauty of life.
“Ah, if life can be so easy every day, maybe it will be very happy without a woman.” With a soft sip of his mouth, a mate over half a hundred sighed to the captain around him: “I heard the battle on the front line It is already very unfavorable. Have you ever thought about going to the battlefield? “
“Without my generation of fishermen who have only been fishing, I was fortunate enough to have my own transport ship. I helped transport the military for free during the war to avoid military service. How could it be possible to go to such a dangerous place on the front line.” The captain’s family is very good. The painstaking management is not to go to the front line to die, and naturally will not take the risk: “I am already loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, isn’t it?”
“What about the frontline? You have some contact with the military. Is there any latest news?” The chief mate smiled bitterly and took a sip of booze before continuing to ask: “I heard that the Navy side It ’s also not too optimistic “
“I heard that the base camp is adding troops to Manchuria, but I have never heard of any unfavorable news about the war. You know, the military has always been very strict in managing this kind of thing, and very few real news came out. Is n’t it good news? Who has heard of winning and not adding hype to the newspapers, but adding troops to the front line? Think about it, the group of stupid people in the base camp, who won out and shouted, right? “
“Yeah! If they won, even if it was only a small victory, they would brag about it and put gold on their faces.” The adjutant nodded and became more lonely after listening: “My second son still has In Manchuria, I really do n’t know if it will be more aggressive this time. “
Suddenly, a sailor on duty ran into the cabin where a dozen or so people were drinking and panicked, shouting in panic: “Come on! Come on! We seem to see something terrible! What happened! Captain! Captain! “
He shouted incoherently, and everyone heard it inexplicably. The captain frowned and stood up, swaying with his hand, beckoning everyone to follow up: “Go and see! See what happened, take my sailor I was so scared that I could n’t even speak clearly. ”
So the pedestrian bypassed the iron staircase and walked up the low bridge, and immediately saw a scene in front of them: a lifebuoy and some debris from the wooden deck floating in the sea, and some debris from oil stains and other debris. There should be a ship sunk here, and it is a Japanese ship with a Japanese ship ’s name written on its life buoy, and a transport ship called “Qifan Maru”.
“Qifanmaru? The transport ship Qifanmaru, how come the name is so familiar?” The captain thought for a long time, thinking about what kind of ship the sunken transporter was. He was familiar with the name, but he couldn’t think of where he had seen the transport ship.
“Qifan Maru? Haven’t you seen it once in Lushun? An army troop carrier of the Army, a passenger ship was refitted. At that time, you admired that the ship was too big!” The first officer suddenly remembered the origin of the ship. Said to the captain.
But when he finished speaking, it was like he was stuck in the throat by a fishbone, and found that he couldn’t say a word: this sunken ship of the Qifan Maru was quite huge, and it was packed full and left Japan at any time. Or the people returning to Japan are now sunk. How many people have lost their lives, then only Tianzhao God knows.
“Strange! Why didn’t you receive a signal to call for help?” The captain asked, looking at the sea in confusion. He didn’t expect anyone to answer his question, he just lamented that he missed a chance to save people.
But as if someone had deliberately answered his question, after asking this self-talking question, he saw something moving on the sea. The Japanese captain froze for a moment, then rubbed his eyes and looked again, he saw a white tumbling wave, approaching his ship quickly.
“Nani?” He narrowed his eyes, trying to see what the thing was approaching toward his ship. But when he saw what it was, he was shocked and fell to the deck on the side of the ship.
“Torpedo!” He pointed in the direction of the torpedo’s attack and shouted loudly at his men, but the torpedo obviously did not slow down his speed because of his yelling, just over two. In seconds, he hit the side of this Japanese coal carrier.
“Boom!” The huge explosion suddenly broke this slightly overloaded Japanese transport ship into two pieces, and then the Japanese ship sank to the bottom of the sea because of its own weight. Just less than ten minutes before and after, the sea returned to calm again, and there were white waves on the sea, and there were all kinds of clutter floating around, no one could see it here. What ever happened.
“I said, Captain, if we fight these unarmed ships with no frigate, we still have to record them and convert them into records, is that really good?” A man carrying a notepad is recording the sunk ship. The non-commissioned sergeant of a Japanese coal carrier looked up and asked Captain Prien.
Relocating from the tightly guarded Icelandic route and the east coast of the United States to the Far East, Germany ’s 20 submarines felt that they had once again arrived in paradise: since they changed the war zone countless times, it attracted the attention of the Allied forces and was finally set up in all seas After strict defense and **** ships, they have never encountered such a loose hunting environment.
Yes, the German submarine commanders will fight in Japanese waters and become “hunting”. Because they found that Japan simply did not deploy enough anti-potential in this area, or more intuitively, there was no Japanese anti-submarine destroyer in this area.
In the past few days when Prian and his partners have just sailed into the Sea of Japan, each submarine has achieved an amazing record: they have sunk dozens of Japanese transport ships in total, these transport ships have coal transport, and also transport people There are also grain transporters. However, these slow-moving, slow-moving Japanese ships simply did not take effective countermeasures.
The Japanese did not even know what happened. All they could do was to let the gunboat patrol the nearby waters and record what happened. A few days later, the Japanese side finally confirmed the existence of the German navy submarine force, but they were still helpless to the German submarine. Even the number of the German navy and the scope of activities were not summarized.
“These Japanese are really weird. They apparently just sunk ships nearby a few hours ago, but there are still ships passing by here.” The noncommissioned officer recorded and described the characteristics of the sunken coal carrier. While checking some photos of older Japanese ships, I tried to find similar ships and summarize them.
“Anyway, this is a sea that is very suitable for submarine activities.” Prien said to his first officer with a smile: “I don’t know why the Americans are not using the Far East base to sneak into the Japan Sea transportation line while the Soviet Union is still alive. Fortunately, we are here, otherwise such a pleasant place is really wasted. “
A transport line disaster in the Sea of Japan has begun. What Japan ’s base camp cannot believe is that, with a secret submarine base in the Far East where the German submarine is not fully equipped, 20 submarines easily strangled Japan ’s fragile maritime supply line. .
The whole sea of Japan turned upside down, and every Japanese officer was stunned, looking at what was happening in front of them, they did n’t know what to do, and Germany ’s strength made all the people who knew this matter have no good solution. There is only one way left for Japan to choose: that is “beat Germany.”
