Chapter 185 Misunderstanding

"Report to the captain, the enemy is all solved, 145 people are not a lot!" A subordinate climbs into the cockpit to report. Zhang Wenzhao glanced at www.biquge.info his pocket watch, and the hour and minute hands pointed to 1 o'clock in the morning and said: "Throw all the corpses of Japanese sailors into the sea, and immediately lift the anchor and increase the pressure to leave here." The subordinate had to be ordered to go, and then a middle-aged man walked in and said happily: "Captain, I haven't touched the steering wheel for many years, don't say that my hands are really itchy." ”

At this moment, the roar of iron chains came from the bow of the ship, and the winch drove the iron chains to pull the iron anchor up from the sea. The machine in the mechanical cabin began to turn, driving the propeller in the stern.

At this time, Zhang Wenzhao looked at the chart, and the middle-aged man held the roulette wheel and asked, "Captain, where are we going?" "Go to Qingdao, I'm going to bring this gunboat back." Soon, the gunboat slowly started to sail south, and Liugong Island behind it was still quiet. The gunboat broke through the waves on the pitch-black sea, and a white spray rolled into the distance.

Dongfang exposed the white belly of the fish, Zhang Wenzhao walked into the cab and said to the middle-aged man: "Where have you arrived!" "Report to the captain, we have arrived at Sushan Island! Fortunately, I didn't run into a Japanese battleship! "After many years of life at sea, the sea conditions in the waters near the Shandong Peninsula, they don't have to look at the charts to know where they are.

"You go and rest for a while and I'll drive!" Zhang Wenzhao took the roulette, glanced at the hazy coastline on the right, and calculated the approximate time to Qingdao according to the speed, and felt a little proud in his heart. Although the attack on Weihai was unsuccessful, it captured a gunboat of the Japanese Navy, and the results were even more brilliant. Several members of the team inspect the cannons and fiddle with the machine guns on the deck. Seeing the elated appearance of his subordinates, Zhang Wenzhao thought of Li Chao's 2nd team, and his mood began to be heavy again.

Early in the morning, at the headquarters of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet Headquarters on Liugong Island, Commander Kato Dingji walked into the headquarters with a solemn face. "Report to the general that the patrol boat found a large number of floating corpses on the sea surface of the big stone on the east side of the island. It was confirmed that it was the officers and men of the Kawasaki gunboat, all 145 people were killed, and the Kawasaki gunboat was robbed by the enemy. "When Kato Dingyoshi heard this, it was dark in front of his eyes, and a gunboat was captured by the enemy right under his nose, which had never happened in the history of the Great Japanese Navy's conquest, and the Japanese Navy would become a laughing stock in the world.

"Your Excellency, judging by the enemy's seizure of the gunboats, the only option is to flee to Tsingtao. According to the speed of the Kawasaki gunboat, it has now reached Sushan Island in the southern part of the Shandong Peninsula. The subordinates cautiously reported, and Kato Dingyoshi closed his eyes and seemed indifferent. It took a long time before he came to his senses and said, "Order all warships to strengthen their vigilance and report to the Admiralty immediately." Kato Dingyoshi sat weakly in his chair, he knew in his heart that he could no longer intercept the Kawasaki gunboat. On the same day, he received an order from the Admiralty to return to China to apologize, and the fate that awaited him can be imagined.

At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the gunboat Kawasaki sailed into the waters of Laoshan District, Qingdao, and arrived at the port of Qingdao in another hour. Many members of the team gathered on the deck, and their mood was particularly high. Zhang Wenzhao stood in the cockpit and looked in the direction of Qingdao through a fixed telescope, feeling extremely excited. But Zhang Wenzhao was overjoyed and overlooked a detail. No one knows about the capture of Japanese gunboats, just imagine what kind of results will be produced if a Japanese gunboat swaggers into the enemy position.

A Japanese gunboat suddenly broke into the waters of Qingdao, which was immediately observed and spotted, and the shore battery quickly sounded the alarm. In the headquarters of the shore battery, General Meier, the commander of the battery, who arrived quickly, decisively ordered the sinking of the invading Japanese gunboats. Coming into range, Mel ordered an artillery bombardment. Suddenly, the artillery on the shore began to roar. A shell exploded on the starboard side of the gunboat, stirring up a column of water from the sea. The team members who were watching the scenery on the deck were stunned and ran into the cabin in fright. A subordinate in the cockpit said urgently: "Captain, why did the Qingdao Fort open fire!" ”

Zhang Wenzhao suddenly realized and shouted, "It's broken, Qingdao Fort treats us as Japanese ships, blame me for negligence, and immediately avoid it in a serpentine way." "At this time, a dense number of shells fell from the sky, and a dense column of water rose on the surface of the sea. A shell hit the bow of the ship, the gunboat trembled violently, the smoke of the explosion dissipated, and a gap appeared on the bow side. At this moment, Zhang Wenzhao knew in his heart that it was more dangerous to turn the bow of the ship and escape, so he could only take the risk and continue to move forward and enter the dead end of the artillery fire to complete.

Shortly after the start of the shelling, the commander of the Qingdao City Defense Army, Hua Xiong, came to the battery. A Japanese warship invaded, and Hua Xiong was a little confused when he received a report from the battery. Are the Japanese crazy or have their heads in the water, sending a battleship to invade, isn't this looking for death? He felt strange and came to the fort. Standing at the lookout to observe, Hua Xiong felt that something was wrong and hurriedly ordered Mel to stop the shelling. "After the artillery fire stopped," General Hua, why stop the shelling! Mel was a little confused.

"General Meier, a gunboat is alone in the depths, if you were a Japanese naval commander, would you make such a plan?" Hua Xiong asked. "If I don't have such a battle plan, you mean that there is something wrong with this Japanese gunboat." "The gunboat didn't fire a single shell, do you think it's normal?" "Report, the Japanese gunboat is still coming at full speed and has no choice to escape." An artillery observer reports. When Hua Xiong and Mel heard this, they hurried to the telescope to check.

Sure enough, the gunboats continued to move at full speed and did not carry out shelling. "May I ask General Hua, this Japanese gunboat is very abnormal, did your unit make a plan to capture the Japanese warship?" "I don't know about this, allowing gunboats to dock, even Japanese gunboats are nothing to fear." "Report! A white flag appeared on the deck of the gunboat! "The artillery observer continues to report." General Mel, let's go to the docks, and the truth will be known in a moment. Mel shrugged his shoulders, his face still confused.

The coastal fort stopped shelling, giving Zhang Wenzhao the feeling of the rest of his life. At this time, a shell was fired in the forward battery, and a large hole was blown up in the deck, but fortunately no one was injured. Zhang Wenzhao ordered the team members to stand on the deck with white flags and try to let the other party see clearly. Entering the distance of a thousand meters, Hua Xiong clearly saw that the people on the deck were not wearing sailor uniforms and said: "General Mel, there is no one on the deck wearing sailor uniforms, which means that this Japanese gunboat was captured by our people!" ”

The gunboat slowly approached the dock, and the shore was still facing the enemy. Zhang Wenzhao boarded the pier and shouted: "Which general is Commander Huaxiong?" Hua Xiong stepped forward and said, "The contemptible person is Hua Xiong, the commander of the Qingdao City Defense Army!" "Report to Commander Hua, his subordinate is Zhang Wenzhao, the captain of the Seawolf Special Operations Team・・・・・・." Hearing that the Seawolf special combat team had captured a Japanese naval gunboat, the citizens of Qingdao rushed to the dock when they heard the news, and there was a scene of a sea of people.

Shan Feng reported in the Jinan Headquarters: "Commander, news has come from Yantai that the 2nd Combat Team of the Sea Wolves has successfully attacked Yantai, and a total of ・・・・・ Japanese ships have been damaged and sunk. Unfortunately, the 2nd team was ambushed by the Japanese army, and the deputy captain Li Chao, including all 27 of his subordinates, were killed, and only 2 survived. At present, there is still no news from the 1st team led by Zhang Wenzhao, and the situation is not good. "We have paid the price but our goal has been achieved, the Japanese army must strengthen the defense of the sea and the coast, and it will inevitably consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and this is the result I want."

"Report, Qingdao Emergency Electricity!" A subordinate came in with a telegram in his hand to report it. Shan Feng took the telegram and looked at it and said in surprise: "Commander, good news." Ge Yunfei took the telegram and glanced at it a few times and said: "The sea wolf is good, it did not disappoint me, and immediately rewarded Zhang Wenzhao and his subordinates in my name." Immediately notify the media and make a lot of noise about the success of the Seawolf team in capturing a Japanese gunboat and reaching Qingdao safely. Ge Yunfei waved his arms excitedly, his handsome face shining brightly.

Ge Yunfei continued: "The highest honor will be given to all the fallen warriors of the Seawolf 2nd Clan, and the title of martyr will be announced to the public. In view of the fact that the Japanese army had already made some preparations, the plan to attack the mine attack was temporarily suspended. "Commander, did Zhang Wenzhao's unintentional move take advantage of it?" Shan Feng took the opportunity to make suggestions. Ge Yunfei's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Good idea, now that the time is ripe, immediately prepare for the establishment of the Navy Special Operations Regiment, appoint Zhang Wenzhao as the head of the Special Operations Regiment, and promote him to the rank of major." In addition, two submarines of Huaxiong and Qingdao Coastal Fleet were ordered to be assigned to the special operations regiment. ”

Shan Feng knew in his heart that Ge Yunfei formed a naval special operations regiment with the purpose of capturing Japanese warships. If you can successfully capture one gunboat, why can't you capture more battleships. Ge Yunfei still said excitedly: "This unintentional move by the sea wolf has clarified a new combat mode at sea. It is very difficult to capture enemy ships, and I believe that opportunities can arise at any time, and as long as we are always ready, we will receive unexpected results. The next step is to set up a team to collect intelligence on the Japanese navy. If we want to do it, we will do it, and I will make the invaders a nightmare every day. β€œ

The sun was scorching, and soldiers in navy uniforms lined up in the playground. In front of the queue, Zhang Wenzhao was dressed in a school uniform, and his black and red face was particularly excited. He glanced back at Hua Xiong and shouted, "Brothers, today is the day of the establishment of the Navy Special Operations Regiment. My old Zhang is a rough man, since he defected to Commander Ge, it is like being reincarnated. There's nothing to say, Commander Ge is my master, where Commander Ge points, I rush to the inside. Brethren, take the oath to the military flag ・・・・・・. ”

In the evening of the same day, Hua Xiong, commander of the city defense army, hosted a banquet for Zhang Wenzhao and his officers. During the dinner, Hua Xiong and Mel specially introduced the two submarine captains. Both captains were German. At present, the Qingdao fleet has 4 gunboats, one destroyer, one minesweeper, two submarines. After the German Far East Fleet withdrew from Qingdao, only these old warships remained, and only two attack submarines were relatively advanced. When the two German captains saw Zhang Wenzhao, they respectfully raised their hands and saluted.

In the eyes of the Germans, Zhang Wenzhao led 30 people to capture a gunboat in the enemy's tiger's den, which was simply a miracle of sea conquest. The Germans worship heroes, and it can be seen from the respectful expressions of the two that the two are willing to accept Zhang Wenzhao's command. Soon, with the help of an interpreter, Zhang Wenzhao got acquainted with the two German captains, and soon Zhang Wenzhao drank a big bowl and drunk the two Germans.
