Chapter 722 Sonar
"Reporting to the Marshal, the plane departing from Pujiang has reached the limit of its range and will be returning soon."
Ding Hanhai pointed to the planes in the sky and said that behind the two planes, the taillights were already sending signals. Although there was radio for communication, all kinds of communication methods at sea had to be mastered.
According to Deng Jiugong, the situation at sea changes rapidly. The reason for retaining multiple communication channels is that we are afraid that if the radio is damaged, we will not be able to contact other troops. Therefore, all kinds of contact methods must be retained as a preparation.
At present, most of the world's naval powers can basically achieve radio communication, but the warships still retain the use of lights and flag signals for communication.
For example, if the escort aircraft at this moment wants to communicate by radio, there will be no communication equipment on the deck, and the signalman will have to run out from the inside, which will take a certain amount of time.
But if we use the lights behind the plane, we can see it from the deck, which saves time.
“I wish them well.”
The sea was calm and Li Shaoyi was standing on the deck at this moment, looking very high-spirited.
I am just a young man in the 21st century, but now I can lead such a fleet to visit abroad. I never dared to dream of it before, but now it has become a reality.
"How long does it take for a flight from Minnan Province to arrive?"
From Pujiang to Southern Fujian Province, there is Zhejiang Province in between, so after the planes here return, new planes will soon come to escort them, but there will still be some time windows in between.
"According to the plan, it should take about 25 minutes, but if we fly in a straight line, we can reach it within 20 minutes without any problem. Our planes had already scouted the surrounding area before retreating and didn't find any Japanese warships."
During the process of moving south, what Li Shaoyi was most worried about were these Japanese warships. They suffered a loss off the coast of the island city. The Japanese navy would not suffer a loss so easily. They would definitely think of getting it back somewhere else. This time the fleet moving south should be a good opportunity for them.
"Notify our destroyers to expand the outer patrol area, especially the sonar."
Li Shaoyi's warships were all from the end of World War II, so the sonar technology was very mature. As early as the last World War, people in the Windsor Empire used this technology to search for Junkers submarines, but because the technology was not very mature, the gains were not great.
Now Li Shaoyi is using technology that will be developed in more than ten years. If Japanese submarines seem to be approaching, we can mark them very clearly on the map and constantly change their actual positions. To put it bluntly, as long as their submarines are discovered, the destroyer's commander is not an idiot, and the submarine will definitely not be able to return.
"Please rest assured, Marshal. The destroyer has already conducted a month of anti-submarine training before setting off. As long as the Japanese submarine dares to swim over, we will be able to make new achievements. The guys on the destroyer are most afraid of the Japanese not coming, not the Japanese coming."
Ding Hanhai's words amused Li Shaoyi. Our army uses Junkers' U-type submarines, which are much more technologically advanced than Japan's submarines. But even these submarines can be easily detected by the sonar on the destroyer during training, and can be positioned in a short time.
Even the Junkers' submarines are no match for us, let alone these Japanese. As long as they dare to get close, we can turn their submarines into coffins.
"Don't be too careless. There's a huge gap between what's on paper and what's actually happening. During the First Sino-Japanese War, we calculated all sorts of data, but what was the final result? Didn't we still lose? When it comes to naval warfare, there's no room for error."
After this period of training, Li Shaoyi also found that the navy was a little arrogant, so he should pour some cold water on them and let them know that our predecessors were once strong in Asia, but in the end they suffered losses at the hands of the Japanese.
"Yes."
Ding Hanhai had no actual combat experience, so he was more cautious than the others. When Li Shaoyi poured cold water on him, he did not feel any resistance in his heart. Instead, he felt that what Li Shaoyi said was very correct. After returning, he would have to let his subordinates be careful.
The reason why Li Shaoyi brought young generals with him was because these young generals were very cautious. They had no actual combat experience and were more eager to win. In the process of winning, they were more dedicated than the old men.
"Reporting to the Marshal, this is a telegram for help we just received from overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia. The people of Windmill Country are becoming more and more excessive. Dozens of people are being killed almost every day, and this trend shows signs of getting worse."
This time when traveling to Southeast Asia, Intelligence Director Natasha did not have time because she had to coordinate the overall situation, so she asked Deputy Director Gu Xiaomeng to accompany her throughout the trip.
It was because of the actions of this group of people that Li Shaoyi advanced his departure time. Unexpectedly, these people became even more aggressive on the way. When he was in Pujiang, Li Shaoyi wanted to arrest a group of merchants from Fengche Kingdom. However, after investigation, he found that there were only a dozen merchants in the entire Pujiang. Even if all 100 of them were arrested, it would not be of much use. After all, Fengche Kingdom did not have many interests in our country.
The methods used to deal with foreigners in the past are actually useless against the Windmill Country. According to Li Shaoyi, the concession is a place where we are invaded, but if used well, it is also a card in our hand.
"I've been a hero my whole life, but when I encounter something like this, I really have no way to counter it."
Li Shaoyi sneered and was about to explode with anger, but there was really no other way to deal with the actions of the Windmill Kingdom.
"If you really want revenge, there is actually a way. We don't have many merchants from the Windmill Kingdom in Pujiang, but there is one place where there are quite a few. It depends on whether you dare to do it."
After Gu Xiaomeng said this, Li Shaoyi knew that this girl should have found a place for him, but he didn't know where. Just when Li Shaoyi was about to ask, a place flashed in his mind, that was Hong Kong.
"There's nothing I wouldn't dare to do. Order the troops to advance at full speed. Do we have an office in Yangcheng?"
Li Shaoyi is an impatient guy. He can't bear to see our compatriots suffer. It's difficult to get through Southeast Asia in a short time, but it will be quick to get to Hong Kong.
