The Soul of the Sea: the Chinese Navy During the Republic of China

About This Novel

Since China developed its navy in modern times, there has been a naval fleet that has been ignored by people, and that is the navy during the Republic of China. They neither have the large ships and artillery of the Qing government, nor the great development of the New China Navy. The Republic of China Navy has always been fighting for survival. However, they carried forward the past and ushered in the future. They not only ended the humiliation of the Sino-Japanese War during the Qing Dynasty, but also provided many veteran warships and experienced naval generals for the later New China Navy. The Navy of the Republic of China was composed of four departments: Central, Northeast, Guangdong, and Dianlei. Famous figures include veterans such as Sa Zhenbing and Cheng Biguang who experienced the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1898, as well as naval leaders with different personalities such as Chen Shaokuan, Chen Jiliang, Shen Honglie, Chen Ce, and Ouyang Ge, the backbone of the Republic of China Navy, as well as rising stars such as Lin Zun. This book focuses on the period from 1917 when the navy went south to protect the law to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, including the Temple Street Incident, the southward journey to protect the law, running Fujian and Xiamen, joining the revolution, the Laoshan Incident, the melee in Guangdong, the Jiangyin Anti-Japanese War, the defense of Madang, the Battle of Humen and other major events of the Republic of China Navy. In these incidents, the navy had been in a state of confrontation with each other for many years for their own survival. This can be described as a national tragedy in troubled times. In addition, the navy of the Republic of China also shouldered the national tragedy of Sino-Japanese War. Therefore, during the anti-Japanese stage, the navy shared the same hatred of the enemy and was united in the fight against Japan. Almost the entire army was annihilated. Therefore, they can also be called the soul of the Chinese sea.
