The Yellow Sea, with a total area of 400,000 square kilometers, is located between Yanhuang and the Peninsula.
The Yellow Sea region is strategically important and influences the situation in East Asia.
The Fuso Imperial Navy's submarine force secretly infiltrated the Yellow Sea.
The I-400 submarine, built by the Fuso Imperial Navy during World War II, was the largest submarine of the war, with a displacement of 3,500 tons and a full load of 6,000 tons.
The I-400 submarine was produced ahead of schedule, equipped with eight torpedo tubes, carrying two Y14 reconnaissance aircraft, and its cruising range could circle the globe!
Inside the I-400 submarine's compartment, Captain Koui observed the sea surface.
“Gentlemen!!”
“Our movements are secure!”
“Lin Zheng has not discovered our whereabouts so far!”
The faces of the other submariners inside the submarine were filled with excitement and pride.
The Fuso Empire's I-400 submarine, with its large tonnage and strong combat capabilities, is a source of pride for the empire!
On those excited and proud faces, they had over 20 other submarines operating nearby.
The Fuso Empire had dispatched its elite submarine force to the Yellow Sea.
“Remember our mission? Surprise attack and sink the Red Alert ships on the surface of the Yellow Sea!”
“Remembered? ” “Hai! We all remember!”
“Baga! Dive quickly! Our location is exposed!”
The submarine commander looked through his binoculars and saw several Sea Scorpion anti-aircraft ships on the surface.
The ships were approaching with an overwhelming sense of pressure!
“How was our position exposed?!”
“Dive quickly!”
Depth charges rained down into the water!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The I-400 submarine and the 20 or so Fuso submarines were hit in the deep sea.
In an instant, the submarines were destroyed by depth charges, breaking apart in the seawater!
The captain of the I-400 submarine did not know that Lin Zheng was already building radar and sonar equipment... the sonar equipment was very powerful.
Within a range of 500 kilometers, the location of any Japanese submarine would be detected.
It was useless for the captain of the I-400 submarine to know, because the depth charges were too accurate, and the submarines were too large, with thin armor, causing more than 20 Fuso submarines to disintegrate in the seawater.
...
On the surface of the Yellow Sea, a Japanese destroyer sailed into the battlefield.
This destroyer was the famous Yukikaze! A famous warship of World War II
It was known as the Empire's Auspicious Omen, Lucky Warship, and Unsinkable Ship!
Ironically, any fleet this warship escorted would inevitably face destruction!
“Nani???”
“Our escort submarine fleet has been destroyed!”
“The escort fleet cannot escape destruction!”
Hida Kenjiro glanced at the sea surface with wide eyes.
On the surface, there were numerous Fuso submarine wreckage, shattered pieces, oil-covered water, floating corpses, hundreds of corpses.
The Yukikaze destroyer saw this and realized there was no need for rescue or salvage!
The destroyer immediately fled to the distance!!
Full speed, 35 knots!
The 2,400-ton, 124-meter long, 10-meter wide Yukikaze destroyer raced across the sea!
A while later, Hida Kenjiro received a telegram from Yamamoto on the radio: “!Baga! What are you doing! Your escorted merchant ships, 10 batches, over 200 ships, are all sunk! Your escorted submarine fleet is also sunk today!”
However, the Yukikaze destroyer was extremely lucky!
Lucky points maxed out!
The Yukikaze destroyer not only proceeded at full speed, but also fortunately avoided the encirclement of the Sea Scorpion anti-aircraft ships, changing its course and luckily returning to the Fuso port.
Captain Hida Kenjiro was filled with worry and went straight to the headquarters.
He met Yamamoto Isoroku again.
Captain Kenjiro took the initiative: “Commander, the Yukikaze is always lucky, because it has excellent performance as a new destroyer, and its sailors are veterans with rich experience!”
Yamamoto Isoroku's face turned black. You're proud of that?
The luck of the Yukikaze destroyer had brought disaster to the Fuso fleet!
Yamamoto Isoroku scolded Captain Kenjiro severely!
After scolding, Yamamoto Isoroku slapped the captain.
“The Yukikaze destroyer will return to port for now! Do not participate in combat for now! Bad luck!”
...
Red Alert Base
Office
Lin Zheng received a battle report from the Yellow Sea.
The Japanese submarine force, over 20 in total, was completely sunk, including the large and technically advanced I-400 submarine, which was sunk, the Japanese submarine force was severely damaged!
The Japanese destroyer Yukikaze has successfully escaped the battlefield.
Lin Zheng spread his hands: “Let the Yukikaze go!”
“As the Fuso's disaster star, the Fuso's unlucky star, every fleet it escorts ends up super unlucky, I hope it will escort the Japanese combined fleet!”
Lin Zheng still had to deal with...
The Japanese merchant ships in the Yellow Sea.
The Japanese merchant ships were not only transporting troops but also transporting supplies.
Lin Zheng used various methods to sink the Japanese merchant ships on the surface of the Yellow Sea, sinking a total of 143 merchant ships, 22 troop ships, and 7 small warships.
The Japanese on the Korean Peninsula could not return to the Fuso mainland and could only join the Kwantung Army.
The Japanese forces on the Korean Peninsula reached their most vulnerable point, dropping from over 100,000 troops to just over 30,000 elite soldiers.
Lin Zheng also needed the Peninsula, the Korean Peninsula is suitable for use as an economic colony... the function of a colony is to generate large economic value, expand markets, provide labor, and serve as strategic military bases, etc.
Aircraft taking off from the military base can easily cover the Fuso mainland.
