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

The night is full of Haizhou Port,

With a long and dull whistle, the Hulan submarine started slowly, stirring up layers of white waves, like the dust raised by a galloping horse.

Its propeller spins rapidly, disturbing the calm sea surface and drawing a zigzag water mark, like leaving a unique mark on the blue satin of the sea.

Today is the first time that the Hulan has carried out an escort mission. It is slowly sailing towards the Zhanjiang port accompanied by two Chinese cargo ships!

In order to match the speed of the freighter, the Hulan's underwater speed was controlled at 15 knots!

It was early morning, and torpedo soldier Zhang Chengyang started the new day with the sharp wake-up call.

The sound broke the originally quiet and depressing atmosphere in the submarine, like a heavy hammer, pulling him out of his sleep.

After a simple wash, Zhang Chengyang quickly came to the torpedo compartment. This is his "battlefield", rows of torpedoes are neatly arranged, like beasts ready to go, with huge killing power hidden under the cold shell.

In the small and cramped cabin of a submarine, the air is always filled with a unique smell of a mixture of engine oil and metal.

Daily training is an important part of life on the boat. During the simulated launch training, the alarms kept sounding and the lights flashed instantly. Zhang Chengyang quickly rushed to the operating position, his hands like a nimble dancer, quickly switching between various buttons and joysticks. Sweat dripped from his forehead and dripped onto the operating table, but he ignored it, his eyes fixed on the dashboard, silently calculating various parameters in his mind.

In their spare time, the small rest area became a place for everyone to relax. Zhang Chengyang would sit together with his comrades and share interesting stories from their hometown. Some talked about the harvest in their hometown, and some talked about their mischievous childhood. The laughter and joy echoed in the small space, temporarily dispelling the dullness and depression on the boat, and bringing a touch of warmth and comfort to the hard life on the boat.

Zhang Chengyang discovered that many of his comrades were particularly excited about going to sea. On the entire submarine, there were 39 comrades of Chinese nationality. This escort was also their journey back home!

In particular, his immediate superior, torpedo captain Liu Wanfeng, even promised to take him ashore to taste the local specialties when they arrive in Zhanjiang!

Because Liu Wanfeng is from Zhanjiang!

Zhang Chengyang looked at his watch. 37 hours had passed since they went to sea, and they had already traveled half the distance of the entire escort mission!

So far, everything is calm and there is nothing unusual!

The British army and navy in this area were almost completely wiped out and all went to Korea.

In the main control room, Captain Du Yong looked at the row of screens and instruments in front of him and kept flipping through the navigation manual.

He used to be a landlubber, and was from a company of the 1st Assault Group, where he served as an instructor. During this training, he actually ranked among the top ten in the final assessment and was listed as a key training target!

And he was directly appointed as the captain of the submarine!

This made Du Yong a little proud, but he would not miss an opportunity to learn!

Suddenly, the sonar operator looked up and said in a hurried tone: "Report to the captain, the active sonar has captured the target signal! Position 2-7-0, distance 10 nautical miles, suspected to be a warship!"

Du Yong's eyes flashed, and he immediately raised the periscope.

At the same time, he quickly gave the order: "Attention everyone, switch to level one combat deployment! Implement silent navigation procedures, reduce speed by 3." As the order was given, the crew members acted quickly and orderly, each of them even holding their breath, and their footsteps were light and neat.

In class, Yin Xinjun repeatedly emphasized to submarine trainees that the most important thing for submarines is covert surprise attacks, and never let the opponent discover you first!

Through the periscope, Du Yong stared at the warship closely. He saw that it was moving at a fast speed and with a stable track, heading towards the merchant fleet. Soon its outline became clearer and clearer. It turned out to be a small gunboat flying the Philippine flag!

Du Yong finally breathed a sigh of relief. This little thing posed no threat to the submarine!

He was wondering whether to open fire, what a good opportunity for live ammunition shooting! But Navy Commander Tang Yantian had stipulated the escort discipline, unless the other side opened fire on the freighter, no active attack was allowed!

Thinking about it,

The gunboat actually opened fire at the freighter. The sound of the gunfire was deafening, and water columns instantly shot up into the sky around the freighter.

Du Yong was overjoyed. After thinking for a moment, he calmly said, "Torpedo team, calculate the target motion parameters and set the torpedo launch parameters. Prepare the torpedoes!"

A minute later, a loud shout was heard.

"Torpedo team ready!"

Du Yong stared at the periscope and ordered: "Fill the torpedo tube with water, exhaust the air, and open the outer door." As the operation was completed, the captain decisively ordered: "Fire torpedo No. 1!"

Zhang Chengyang hurriedly pressed the button, and with a dull "whoosh" sound, the torpedo broke through the water, leaving a white trail in the sea and shot towards the destroyer at high speed.

With a loud bang, the torpedo hit the middle of the starboard side of the gunboat, the hull was blown into two pieces, flames shot into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and it soon sank into the sea!

dark night,

South Bank of Han River, Baiyun Mountain,

In a valley in the north,

A group of soldiers were looking at the sky nervously!

A dull and regular buzzing sound came from the sky, like the flapping wings of a nighthawk, quietly breaking the silence.

"Here it comes! Here it comes! Turn on the flashlight!"

The soldiers raised their flashlights and shone them toward the sky! At the same time, they turned them on and off regularly.

In the sky,

The belly hatch of the transport plane slowly opened, and boxes of supplies came out one after another. They were held tightly by parachutes and floated slowly like white mushrooms blooming in the night sky.

As soon as the supplies landed, the soldiers swarmed over, quickly opened the boxes, and carried away batches of precious ammunition, food, and medicine.

"Liang Xinming, go carry a rocket launcher! Oh, and bring two packs of explosives!"

The voice of company instructor Cai Jian gave orders!

"Yes, instructor!" 19-year-old Liang Xinming ran over quickly.

The supplies on the ground were sorted and placed in piles, and he quickly found what he needed!

The US military's heavy bombers carried out indiscriminate bombing on North Korea's roads, railways, and bridges almost day and night. The 5th Air Force had three B29 bomber squadrons specifically responsible for air strikes on the Volunteer Army's supply lines!

Although the engineering corps was repairing the site 24 hours a day, they still could not keep up with the damage done by the U.S. military, and the supply of materials became increasingly difficult. This led to the Volunteer Army increasing its use of night airdrops for supplies starting in late January!

The entire company has assembled, and everyone has replenished their ammunition and food!

Cai Jian said loudly,

"Comrades!

Starting tonight, we will officially enter the battlefield on the south bank of the Han River!

Behind us are the earnest expectations of our motherland and the people, and in front of us are enemies armed to the teeth!

Now the enemy is attacking frantically, trying to tear a hole in the south bank of the Han River. But we must not let them succeed! Even if there is only one person left, the last bullet, we must hold our position! Not an inch of land can be lost, we must declare to the world that Chinese soldiers are invincible!

The motherland is watching us, and the people are waiting for our triumphant return! For the sake of the motherland and the people, let us show the bloodiness of the Chinese soldiers and strike hard at the invaders! As long as we are at the position, we will live and die with it! "

"We swear to live and die with this position!" The soldiers raised their arms and shouted loudly!
