At noon on January 8, 1909, the waves on the South China Sea were uneven and the level was like a mirror. (net) The weather was clear and the sun shone.

On the sea more than 300 nautical miles away from Tainan, a Japanese naval fleet consisting of armored patrol ships, cruisers and destroyers appeared.

Unfortunately, the Japanese naval fleet had no enemy that could be fought in Asia, resulting in a powerful navy that had almost no place to use, and became a decoration for shocking other countries.

For example, this time, an Indonesian xenophobic army appeared in the inland Borneo, which dared to massacre the citizens of the Great Japanese Empire. Although the vast number of naval officers and soldiers were angry, except for the Dangdang transport nanny, they could only watch the army helplessly and helplessly bring glory to the country.

At this moment, the protagonist of this fleet was not the invincible Japanese naval officers and soldiers in Asia, but tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the 17th Division on the troop transport ship they protected.

At around 1 pm, on the deck of the flagship "Izumo" naval armored patrol ship of the Japanese Navy's Second Fleet, the fleet commander Lieutenant General Kazumiya Hiroyuki was accompanying Lieutenant General Ichiho's commander of the 17th Division, watching the sea scenery while walking and chatting.

Lieutenant General Ichiha Bingwei, the commander of the 17th Division, was a brave and good at fighting. He was good at formulating detailed combat plans. The troops he led paid much less to achieve combat goals than other Japanese generals during the same period.

During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, a soldier guard led his army to defeat the famous Qing Dynasty general Nie Shicheng.

During the Russo-Japanese War attack on Lushun, he personally led his team to occupy the difficult-to-conquer Panlong Mountain position P Fortress. His reputation shocked the entire army and was awarded a letter of thanks for his personal military achievements. This fortress was later named Yihu Fort.

Therefore, Yihu Bingwei was one of the few generals in the Japanese army who had high prestige and highly praised during this period.

Lieutenant General Hiroyuki Uemura also made great achievements in military affairs and had been in contact with Lieutenant General Ichiha for a long time. This time the two were on the same warship and had a great conversation.

When talking about the unfavorable development of the Ninth Division and the entire Seventh Regiment was wiped out, Hikaru Komura was sighing and sighed: "Lieutenant General Katsuka Tsukamoto, the commander of the Ninth Division, was also considered a powerful general of the Great Japanese Empire. This time, the ship capsized in the gutter. Not only was it defeated by the Indonesian xenophobic army, but it also asked for support."

Speaking of this, Hikanosuke Uemura sighed and continued, "I really didn't expect that such a cruel and cruel army would appear among the Indonesians who are famous for their cowardice and laziness. Indonesian xenophobic troops are so difficult to deal with. Yihujun, after you arrive in Borneo, you must be careful to deal with it."

Lieutenant General Ichiha's slutty face was arrogant and said disapprovingly: "Kun Uemura, I don't think that the garbage army composed of Indonesian farmers can withstand the powerful imperial army. The failure of the Ninth Division made the Japanese Empire lose all face. According to me, the commander of the Ninth Division, Tsukamoto-kun, should have long since passed away to thank the Emperor."

After a pause, the guards of Yihu organized some words in their hearts and analyzed with striking comments: "The reason why the Ninth Division failed in the initial battle was mainly because they underestimated the enemy and were not familiar with the terrain. The key was that its vanguard troops actually lost connection with the subsequent troops. After the Seventh Regiment was wiped out for several hours, the subsequent troops arrived.

Even so, under the sneak attack and siege of the Indonesian xenophobic army, which is ten times more than one, the Seventh Regiment, which is less than 4,000 people, caused tens of thousands of casualties to the enemy. It can be seen that the Indonesian xenophobic army has extremely weak combat power, and relying on a large number of people and luck, it will win the first battle."

Hitomi Uemura thought about it and felt that the analysis of Ichiho Binge was very reasonable, and he couldn't help but agree: "Ichiho, you are right. Even the Russian Empire is not a match for the Great Japanese Empire. In the small Borneo, it is impossible for an army that can confront our army head-on."

"Hehe, Gunmura, wait and see, wait and see, wait until my troops arrive in Pontianak. In less than three months, I will uproot the Indonesian xenophobia," said a house of Bingwei with great enthusiasm.

"Yoxi" Hitomi Kamiura said appreciatingly: "Ichiho, as the mainstay of the Imperial Japanese Army, you will definitely be able to do it smoothly. Oh, Ichiho, I heard the internal news that in a while, you will be promoted to the military senator.

And, you are a strong candidate for the Education Director who has the hope of being one of the three commanders of the Army. Hehe, after completing this mission successfully, I believe you will be able to go further."

Ichiho Bingwei was overjoyed when he heard this, but his face was filled with Fumii Bubo and said solemnly: "Kun Uemura, these are all irrelevant things. I always remember that no matter where I am in, I will serve the Great Japanese Empire."

The two of them talked for a while, and Hikanocho Uemura remembered that he had done nothing now and said in a frustration: "Ah, since he defeated the Russian navy, the empire's navy has never been used. This time, the navy can only wander on the sea with a frustration and helplessness, listening to the news that the Indonesian xenophobic army slaughtered the citizens of our empire.

What is infuriating is that even a small country composed of Chinese people like the Lanfang Republic dares to come to the door and make words to prevent our army from entering Borneo."

A cold murderous intent flashed in the eyes of Ichiho Bingwei, and he said calmly: "Kun Uemura, you don't have to be so frustrated. When I was in China, I investigated the Lanfang Republic. They had purchased two battleships and several other battleships in the United States and trained to form a naval fleet. They may head to Borneo in the near future. Hehe, then you will have a place to use it."

Hikaru Hikaru was overjoyed and smiled and said, "I have long disliked the Lanfang Republic. Humph, I destroyed their naval fleet and completely blocked their coastline. Is it true that they dare to be arrogant?"

When Ichiho Buye and Hiroyuki Uemura were making noises on the warship, five undetectable water patterns streaked across the calm sea, as if four sharks with their dorsal fins exposed to the water passed by.

Of course, these are not 5 sharks, but 5 PLA "Sea Wolf 2" submarines.

Half a year ago, Chen Hao ordered people to establish several submarine supply points on several remote islands in the Xisha Islands and the Nansha Islands. Immediately afterwards, submarine practical simulation training began to be carried out on the sea surface of the South China Sea.

These five submarines, under the command of the submarine captain Zheng Shaozedi, hung the Japanese fleet from afar for a long time.

In the command cabin of the command boat, the first mate Huang Xiaosi looked into the periscope and sighed to Zheng Shaoze, "Oh, every time I see the Japanese army passing by one after another, but cannot sink it, I feel both aggrieved and helpless."

A soldier next to him felt deeply and echoed: "Yes, if our five submarines take advantage of the darkness to give the ships a few torpedoes, at least he would be able to reimburse him for thousands of ghosts."

“What a pity”

Everyone sighed with helplessness.

"Let's talk less. Our submarine force is a strategic force. It cannot be used easily unless it is absolutely necessary. Moreover, even if it is used, the enemy cannot be discovered." Every time the crew members "resentful" the team leader Zheng Shaoze could only comfort him like this.

"Captain, what is a strategic force? We now have dozens of submarines and are very powerful in combat. Why is it because if there are enemies in front of us and don't kill them?" The first mate Huang Xiaosi couldn't help but hear this sentence, and finally asked.

Zheng Shaoze didn't know what a strategic force is. After a while, he shouted angrily: "I'm just obeying the order, why do you ask so much?"

Everyone was silent...
