Rebirth of the Qing Empire

The main military ports of the Japanese Navy are located in the economically developed and densely populated islands of Kyushu and Honshu. For example, Sasebo Military Port is located in Nagasaki Prefecture on Kyushu Island, Yokosuka Military Port is located in Tokyo Bay on Honshu Island, Kure Military Port is located in Hiroshima Prefecture on Honshu Island, etc.

.

Among them, Sasebo Naval Port is separated from the Korean Peninsula by only the Tsushima Strait and the Korean Strait, and is only 50 kilometers away from the southern port city of Busan on the Korean Peninsula. More than half of the main ships of the Japanese Navy are usually anchored here. The port and Wu Jun are not far away.

The port city was within the attack range of Bac Ninh Army Air Force and Hainan Air Force fighter planes, so it suffered the most violent joint attack by sea and air.

The Yokosuka Naval Port is located in the southeast of Honshu Island, facing the Pacific Ocean, and across the Sea of ​​Japan from the Korean Peninsula. It is beyond the attack range of Beining Army and Navy fighter aircraft. Therefore, it can only be attacked by the Beining Naval Submarine Force alone. Therefore, in the peripheral waters of Yokosuka Naval Port

16 of the latest "Jiaolong" class improved "Jiaolong-B" submarines have been gathered to enhance their strike power.

The 32 "Jiaolong" class and improved "Jiaolong-A" and "Jiaolong-B" submarines of the Bac Ninh Navy that had already been assembled in the designated combat waters and were lurking underwater were ready to land on Sakhalin Island 2 days before the operation started.

When he was young, he launched underwater raids on prey in various Japanese military ports.

This raid, which had been carefully prepared for two years, was a great success when the Japanese Navy was unprepared. The submarines of the Bac Ninh Navy, which had been lurking in designated combat waters for 3 to 8 days, quietly

Breaking into the Japanese military port from underwater, the "harpoon" torpedoes it launched achieved an astonishing hit rate of more than 70% against the crowded stationary targets in the port! The 32 submarines carried a total of 576 torpedoes, except for technical failures.

, except for factors such as operational errors that did not play a role, nearly 400 torpedoes hit the target, destroying the main force of the Japanese Navy in one fell swoop, and these submarines safely evacuated the theater without any damage!

But the situation did not end there. What was even worse was that after dawn, a large number of "Skyhawk" reconnaissance/attack aircraft of the Bac Nyeong Army Aviation Force and "Seahawk" seaplanes of the Naval Aviation Force flew over from Jeju Island, Busan and other places.

Flames soared into the sky, creating a messy war zone. The belly doors of each aircraft were wide open, hail-like bombs fell from the sky, and the fierce aerial attack began again!

After the submarine attack, most of the Japanese ships in the harbor were staggering and raging. When the air attack began, several Japanese ships that were not stalled increased their engine power in an attempt to break out of the harbor, but the slow-heating steam engines were unable to produce

The sufficient amount of high-temperature steam made it difficult for the Japanese ship to reach the desired speed in a short period of time. It could only struggle slowly to the outside of the port. However, when it finally sailed to the exit of the port, it triggered the trap deployed by the Bac Ninh Navy submarine during the evacuation.

All the mines were blown up and paralyzed at the port exit, completely blocking the port exit.

As time goes by, all Japanese ships in the harbor will be destroyed.

Although the Japanese navy's steam-powered warships with heavy artillery and thick armor have obvious advantages when fighting surface ships of contemporary navies, their guns are flat-firing cannons and have no air defense capabilities. They are helpless against attacks from the air and can only stare and get beaten. The remaining

The few Japanese ships that were still able to move dodged left and right, clinging to life. However, the flexible and fast "Skyhawk" and "Seahawk" fighters used the tactic of multiple fighters attacking one Japanese ship in multiple directions at the same time, allowing them to survive.

The Japanese warships could not escape at all, and the port had been sealed. The Japanese warships could not go out to sea, and their maneuvering range was limited in the small harbor, causing them to be shot repeatedly! Moreover, these fighter planes had been sunk in the harbor and were still exposed on the water.

They would not spare half of the Japanese ships, and would not leave until they were completely destroyed with bombs.

Next, the "Skyhawk" and "Seahawk" fighter jets turned their attack targets to the large naval shipyards, shore artillery positions, ammunition depots, material distribution centers, military camps and other military facilities in Sasebo and Kure Port. The attacks continued, and the shore artillery positions were under attack.

After the bombing, the ammunition depot storing a large number of large-caliber artillery shells and propellant packets was detonated. A landslide-like explosion almost immediately razed the entire port to the ground. Black-red flames soared hundreds of meters high, and plumes of smoke shot straight up.

To an altitude of thousands of meters…

However, the Yokosuka Military Port was not attacked by air due to its long distance. Although the few main ships parked in the port were sunk by Bac Ninh Navy submarines, the port facilities were basically intact, which was considered very lucky. In this way, after many battles by the Bac Ninh military

After waves of joint naval and air strikes, the Japanese government relied on to launch a war of aggression - the Imperial Navy fleet was finally wiped out!

Of course, Kang Fan realized his revenge plan and finally avenged the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Navy of the Qing Dynasty who died in the tragic Yellow Sea battle more than ten years ago!

At 19:00 that night, the radioman at the Temple Street Command received a victory telegram from the Navy. The telegram contained only two words - revenge. Kang Fan suddenly jumped up, picked up He Shuixiu and spun around in the air as if no one was watching.

, cheering loudly with excitement!

He Shuixiu was choked by him and couldn't breathe. Her pretty face turned red from holding it in. She struggled for a long time before she could speak: "Eat quickly!"

"Yes, Shuixiu is right! Brothers, let's eat!" Kang Fan put down He Shuixiu and greeted loudly.

At midnight on the 6th, a small-scale naval battle broke out between the Bac Ninh Navy warning ship formation composed of three "Qing" class cruisers and the seven Russian fleets that came for reinforcements from the east of Sakhalin Island. Bac Ninh Navy surface ships fought for the first time in actual combat.

The formation achieved a one-sided victory, which once again boosted the morale of the entire army.

During the naval battle, the shipboard radar of the "Qing" class cruiser discovered a formation of Russian surface ships intending to break into the northern entrance of the Tartar Strait more than 30 nautical miles away and quickly provided precise shooting parameters for its shipborne weapons.

The Russian army was unaware at this time and continued to approach death.

When the enemy and we were 8 nautical miles apart, the Bac Ninh naval warning ship formation launched the attack first. Within 9 minutes, 12 "harpoon" torpedoes and hundreds of 130mm artillery shells were fired by a cruiser, 2 destroyers and 4 light coastal defense ships.

All the Russian surface ship formations were sent to the bottom of the sea. Although the Russian army responded in a hurry, it could only rely on the muzzle flash of the main gun of the Bac Ninh navy ship to complete its positioning in the dark night, but the muzzle flash disappeared in an instant.

, positioning was difficult, and the deviation was large. Most of the Russian warships were just shooting blindly. The Russian cruiser serving as the flagship actually turned on the searchlight to search for the target in desperation, which exposed itself and caused the concentration of Beining naval ships.

Fire strike, becoming the first Russian warship to be sunk.

Despite this, the Russian warship formation still caused some damage to the Beijing Navy's guard ship formation. The cruiser "Tianjin" was hit by a 4.7-inch shell in the middle of the ship, and the explosion damaged a nearby 37mm naval gun, resulting in the

The cannon could not fire normally, and several gunners were slightly injured.

Later, two Russian submarines that were approaching the Bac Ninh Naval Warning Ship Formation underwater were spotted by the shipboard sonar of the cruiser "Ai Hun" in the formation, and were immediately hit by the ship's 300mm rocket-propelled depth bombs.

It was such a beating that one of the boats turned into a puddle of oil stains and tatters, and the hull of the other boat was shattered and forced to float to the surface. The boat and its people were taken prisoner. However, the cruiser "Aihun" thought that the boat had a displacement of less than 5

The 100-ton Russian submarine was cumbersome and crude. After all its crew members left the boat, only two 130mm shells were used to bring the Russian submarine back to the water.

In late September, the New First Army captured all the cities on Sakhalin Island and completely wiped out the Russian and Japanese defenders on the island. Without waiting for the Russian and Japanese militaries to take action, the Bac Ninh Security Bureau's special forces launched another attack on the island.

An airborne assault was carried out on the Kuril Islands in the sea east of Page Island, and the Marine Corps occupied the Kuril Islands. The first phase of the "Revenge" operation ended successfully.

After eliminating the main forces of the Japanese and Russian navies, it will become much easier for the Bac Ninh military to implement all subsequent combat operations.

The Bac Ninh Navy submarine force, which has made the most contribution, has not been idle. On the one hand, it must cooperate with the naval forces in the sea areas around Japan to search and rescue those own pilots who crashed and fell into the water due to various reasons during the attack operations.

, launched a large-scale hunting expedition in the vast sea area around Sakhalin Island, and continued to hunt down the remaining Japanese and Russian ships, including merchant ships.

Japan is an island country with a small land area, lack of resources, and insufficient arable land. Most of the industrial raw materials, grain, and materials needed to maintain the normal operation of the national economy need to be imported from abroad, so it relies heavily on sea transportation. After a large number of merchant ships were sunk,

, the remaining Japanese merchant ships refused to go to sea, resulting in the interruption of shipping, the loss of foreign supply channels, and the interruption of replenishment. The original small reserves were quickly exhausted, unable to meet the huge needs of the country's industry and national life, causing its economic activities to gradually stagnate.

, the people's daily necessities are seriously lacking. If this continues, they will be trapped to death! After losing the support of the navy, the Japanese Army can only despair. However, the Japanese Army also understands that even if it achieves a landing and fights against the dominant Bac Ninh Army,

There is almost no chance of winning. All they can do is try their best to defend their homeland and desperately prevent Beining troops from landing on the Japanese islands.

Therefore, the naval blockade tactics implemented by the Bac Ninh military are extremely fatal to Japan.

The Kuril Islands are like a chain of arc-shaped pearls scattered in the ocean, connecting Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula and Japan's Hokkaido Island. They stretch for more than 1,200 kilometers from north to south. They just lock the sea channel from the Sea of ​​Okhotsk to the Pacific Ocean, and they have a strategic position.

It is very important. After capturing this archipelago, Bac Ninh Navy can face the vast Pacific Ocean without any obstruction, and Sakhalin Island, located between the Kuril Islands and the northern Primorye Territory of Bac Ninh, has become the rear of the Kuril Islands defenders.

Solid support. In this way, Kang Fan no longer has to worry about the danger that the new Beining Navy will be blocked offshore by the enemy navy and unable to go out to the ocean. The strategic significance of this move is not trivial.

The lion in the iron cage opened the cage door, and it was up to the lion to decide whether to enter or exit.

As soon as the war subsided, Kang Fan couldn't wait to take a "Seahawk" seaplane of the Bac Ninh Navy to fly to the Thousand Islands for inspection.

The Kuril Islands have a total area of ​​more than 15,000 square kilometers and are strategically located. The surrounding waters are one of the three famous fishing grounds in the world. The largest island in the archipelago is called Ettoru Island, which is very large, covering an area of ​​more than 3,000 square kilometers.

It is more than 1,000 square kilometers larger than the area under the jurisdiction of Ningwu County. The island has dense forests, vast grasslands, crisscrossed rivers, especially volcanoes and hot springs, and rich wildlife resources. The coast around the island is dotted with bays, most of which can be used as

Used as a natural harbor, Danguan Bay is a huge natural harbor located in the middle of Etortor Island.

Although the Thousand Islands are far away, the operation to capture this island went very smoothly. The climate here is cold and far away from the civilized world. Most of the islands are uninhabited and the natural ecology is primitive. There are only a few permanent fishermen and symbols on a few large islands.

There was a permanent garrison, so the real battle did not take place. When the Japanese defenders on the island saw the special operations troops of the Bac Ninh Security Bureau descending from the sky, they were immediately frightened. The officers and soldiers of the special operations forces airborne on the island occupied the island without firing a single shot.

After visiting the entire island, it took a lot of trouble to gather all the residents who were running away in fear on the island, and returned their fishing boats to them, allowing them to choose to stay here or go to the nearest Hokkaido, Japan.

island.

Just at the beginning of October, it started to snow on Elofu Island. Fortunately, the meteorological department worked effectively and notified the munitions department before the start of the "Revenge" operation to prepare winter clothes for the participating troops, which came in handy at this time. Kang Fan found a

A military coat was put on by He Shuixiu, and the hood on the coat was also put on for her. She was still in single clothes and trousers.

"Brother Kang, aren't you cold?" He Shuixiu asked with concern.

Kang Fan smiled and said: "Brother is very excited now!"

He Shuixiu doubtfully took one of Kang Fan's hands and touched it. Sure enough, it was warm.

"The Japanese can't get through. What we need to guard against now is the Russians, because their land borders us, which is relatively more advantageous than the Japanese," said Kang Fan.

Commander Zhou sneered and said: "It's beneficial? It's beneficial to getting beaten better, right?"

Teacher Zhang said: "What if they come together? Come and take care of one of them, or take care of two of them!"

Director Li smiled and said: "It seems that Mr. Zhang hasn't had enough of it yet. Don't vent out on Commander Zhou again when you get home!"

Commander Zhou looked embarrassed, frowned and said, "Where do you start with these words, Director?"

Mr. Zhang punched Director Li and scolded him with a smile: "Li, do you think I'm crazy?"

Kang Fan smiled, "Well, we are still a family after all."

He Shuixiu couldn't help laughing and echoed: "That's for sure."

After everyone laughed, Kang Fan said seriously: "After we captured Sakhalin Island and the Thousand Islands this time, the strategic situation in the north has been greatly improved. Next, we should go all the way south to organize the rivers and mountains."

"Yes. The mountains and rivers of the Qing Dynasty are broken and should be sorted out long ago." Director Li answered.

Jun Zhou sighed and said: "If the entire Qing Empire could be as prosperous and powerful as our Beining jurisdiction, I would still be smiling even if I died in battle."

Commander Zhang said: "If I want to die, I have to die first. You, the commander, still have to live to take care of my sister!"

He Shuixiu flashed her big furry eyes and listened with interest. The military coat filled with light and warm down material was crisp and lean, and it gave her a somewhat heroic air.

In the heavy snowfall, Bac Ninh Navy transport ships sailed into Danguan Bay one after another, and a large number of engineers, engineering machinery, materials, etc. landed on the island one after another to start construction.

The winter in this area is long and the climate is cold. It is necessary to build basic living support and combat readiness facilities for the garrison on the island before the freeze, and build a simple port, airport, etc. in Danguan Bay to form a preliminary defense system to protect the fruits of victory until next year.

After thawing, it will be expanded, renovated and improved.

As for Sakhalin Island, which is a new important coastal defense center in the north of Bac Ninh, because Russia and Japan have been operating here for many years, various infrastructures have already reached a considerable scale, and the garrison conditions are much better than those of the Kuril Islands. With a little modification,

can meet the current needs. Therefore, the formation of the defense system is very fast. The most troublesome thing is to deal with the Russian and Japanese soldiers and civilians stranded on the island. Although special concentration camps have been set up for them, the living security required by a large number of personnel

The amount of supplies is considerable. On the other hand, they have to deal with the concentration camp in Rio. The conflicts and riots that may occur at any time between the Japanese and Japanese sides have restricted a large number of manpower and material resources of the Bac Ninh military. Therefore, they must be sent back home as soon as possible to get rid of this huge

burden.
