Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

Seoul,

The camp of the 1st Independent Armored Brigade of the Volunteer Army,

After Tang Yantian and Ding Shan were transferred,

The 1st Assault Group and the 1st Battle Group had already suffered considerable losses.

In addition, troops were withdrawn one after another!

Some of them volunteered to go to Southeast Asia, and among those who were unwilling to go, the Zhisi took away a group of personnel and equipment to reinforce other troops!

In order to facilitate unified management and deployment of personnel,

The 1st Assault Group and the 1st Battle Group were simply merged together, and the Volunteer Army Headquarters gave them a new temporary designation: the Volunteer Army Independent 1st Armored Brigade, with Kang Huaifu as the brigade commander! It has four battalions!

Brigade Headquarters,

Several key responsible cadres, Kang Huaifu, Peng Yuan, Sun Wei, and Saner were sitting together, discussing intensely.

Kang Huaifu first said,

"Old Yin has been very kind to me. Although I now have a wife and children, and my mother and sister are both in Mulan, I have thought it over and decided to help him!"

Sun Wei said,

"The higher-ups said that if you go to Southeast Asia, you have to voluntarily give up your Chinese nationality. We have to be careful about this. Anyway, my wife and children are used to it here, so I don't think I will go!"

Now, for people going to Southeast Asia, confidentiality is no longer a consideration. It is simply a voluntary immigration and voluntary giving up of nationality!

According to Yin Xinjun's opinion, it is purely market-oriented economic guidance!

Because Haizhou State adopts a paid military service system, the salaries given to officers and soldiers in the army are very high. The monthly income of ordinary officers and soldiers starts at 3000 yuan, which is twice as high as the average salary in Mulan City!

Peng Yuan expressed a different opinion.

"Well, I've thought it over, Lao Kang. I'll go with you. If it weren't for the King of Hell, I wouldn't have known where I was buried!"

Saner also expressed his own views.

"To be honest, money is not attractive to me. It is said that the starting salary for regimental-level cadres in Nanyang is 1 yuan. However, I think family is the most important thing. After so many years of fighting and killing, I now cherish my small family very much. A wife, children and a warm bed are what I pursue now!"

Kang Huaifu nodded.

"San'er is right. We soldiers defend our country, which means we protect millions of families. Of course, we can't force ourselves to do this. I'll give you a heads-up. I went to the Volunteer Army Headquarters for a meeting yesterday. The superiors said that our Volunteer Army has fought three battles in a row. Now all the troops are very tired. Starting tomorrow, we will take turns to rest. Our brigade will be transferred directly back to China!"

Peng Yuan, San'er, and Sun Wei all showed great surprise on their faces.

"Are we going back home now?"

Kang Huaifu sighed and said unhappily,

"We will return to our country to rest for the time being. The remaining personnel will make their own choices. Those who are willing to go to Southeast Asia can go directly with me. Those who are not willing will probably be added to other troops in batches. Our brigade should be disbanded!"

"Urgent telegram from the headquarters!" The communications officer came in a hurry.

San'er took the telegram and frowned.

"Today, the United Nations forces suddenly launched a full-scale counterattack. Zhisi requires all troops to cancel their rest and prepare for battle!"

Peng Yuan was so angry that he slammed the table.

"These bastards, when we attacked, they ran away, and when we stopped fighting, they came to us instead!"

San'er said worriedly,

"I heard that the commander of the US military has been replaced. This guy is really good at picking the right time!"

Kang Huaifu was also a little depressed. He was about to go to Southeast Asia to do a big job, but unexpectedly, the war broke out again. It seemed that he would not be able to leave in the short term!

The sun was high in the sky, and the Haizhou Naval Port was busy under the azure blue sky. The sparkling sea was shining with golden light.

Today is the day when the first submarine "Hulan" was launched! This submarine has an underwater displacement of 2300 tons, a crew of 50 people, a range of 1 nautical miles, and is equipped with 6 533 mm torpedo tubes at the bow and 4 533 mm torpedo tubes at the stern, which can carry 40 torpedoes.

In addition, it is equipped with a 1mm deck gun and a 105mm machine gun on the deck for air defense and dealing with small targets.

Young sailor Zhang Chengyang stood in front of a submarine with nervousness and anticipation. This was his first submarine internship mission, and his position was a torpedo operator.

Zhang Chengyang is a native of Haizhou. His family makes a living by fishing. When he saw the Navy recruitment advertisement that submarine soldiers would receive a monthly combat allowance of 3600 yuan, he signed up without hesitation!

What he earned this month was more than his previous annual income!

The submarine in front of us is gray and black all over, like a dormant steel behemoth. The rivets on the hull are clearly visible, showing its firmness. The towering command tower stands quietly, exuding an inviolable majesty.

Taking a deep breath of excitement, Zhang Chengyang stepped onto the boarding ladder. As soon as he entered the submarine, the unique smell of oil, metal and seawater hit his nose. The passage was narrow and cramped, only enough for two people to pass sideways. The bulkhead was covered with densely packed instrument panels, valves and pipelines. The dim lights flickered in the darkness, reflecting the cold metal instruments, exuding a mysterious and cold atmosphere.

In the torpedo compartment, torpedoes are neatly arranged, like ferocious beasts about to wake up, ready to deal a fatal blow to the enemy at any time.

Zhang Chengyang gently stroked the smooth shell of the torpedo, and a sense of mission arose spontaneously! Torpedo Captain Liu Wanfeng came over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Xiao Zhang, this will be your battlefield from now on. You have to control these torpedoes well!" Then, Liu Wanfeng began to explain the structure, performance and launch process of the torpedo in detail. Although Zhang Chengyang had heard it once in class, he still listened attentively, raised questions from time to time, and his eyes were full of desire for knowledge.

With the commander's order, the submarine launching ceremony officially began. The huge cable was slowly loosened, and the submarine slowly slid into the sea under the tow of the tugboat. At the moment of launching, huge waves surged in the sea, as if cheering for its departure. The submarine floated steadily on the sea, and the crew quickly took their positions and began to make final preparations before the voyage.

The chief engineer started the submarine's power system, and the engine emitted a deep and powerful roar, injecting surging power into the submarine. The navigator stared at the nautical charts and navigation instruments in the cockpit, planning the route for the long voyage. The sonar soldiers, torpedo operators, etc. were also at their respective posts, checking the equipment to ensure that everything was ready.

When everything was ready, the submarine slowly left the port, gradually accelerated, and headed towards the depths of the vast ocean.

The main task in the early stage of the development of the navy is to train personnel. Currently, two naval training classes have been opened at the same time, with hundreds of people in each class!

After a group of students have practiced on board, a new group of students will be added to the training class! First, use small-tonnage ships to train the team!

After Tang Yantian discussed with Yin Xinjun, they decided to use submarines as the main attack force of the Haizhou Navy in the early stage!

In addition, he also established a marine corps with a total of 550 people! The training base was set up in Kaoshantun Town, which borders Kuching City!
