抗戰期間中華民國海軍的水雷戰
The Naval Mine Warfare of the ROC Navy during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945)
摘要
水雷是抗戰(1937-1945)時期中華民國海軍作戰中最為關鍵的武器。八年抗戰中，敵我實力極為懸殊，抗戰初期我海軍艦隊於阻止日軍沿長江西犯的江陰會戰中犧牲殆盡，在此絕境之中，失去水面艦隊的國軍開始依托水雷與日軍決戰，卻因此綻放出獨特的光芒，成為世界軍事史上最大內河漂雷作戰之濫觴。長期以來，學術界對我國海軍水雷的技戰術探索相當貧乏，對各型水雷的開發目的、研發單位、性能諸元等探討亦相對稀少，特別是對漂雷作戰認識不足。本研究將透過國史館與檔案管理局藏原始檔案追溯中華民國海軍研製水雷之源起，梳理水雷研製單位之發展沿革，探討水雷戰術的形成脈絡，以解析水雷如何成為抗戰期間海軍作戰的主力戰具。並透過戰爭史研究，考察抗戰時期不同階段的水雷作戰特色及其成就。

Naval mines were the most crucial weapon used by the Republic Of China (ROC) Navy during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945). Being much weaker than the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) then, most of ROC Naval Fleet was destroyed in the Campaign of Jiangyin to keep the IJN from entering the Yangtze River. Suffering such a catastrophic loss, the ROC Navy could only use naval mines to fight the invaders. However, the massive use of free floating naval mines in the domestic waters began a very unique chapter in the history of war. The technical and tactical aspects of the ROC Navy’s use of naval mines was an overlooked issue by many military scholars. Very few ever tried to investigate these naval mines’ development history, developers, and specifications. The use of free floating mines were especially forgotten. Using the archives of the Academia Historia Office and the National Archives Administration, I have traced back to the beginning of the ROC Navy’s naval mine warfare. I learned much about of the history of the mine developers, the creation of mine tactics, and how they became China’s main naval weapon. I also investigated the features and achievements of naval mine warfare throughout the war.
