Chapter 162: Sea Horror
Lin Qiang led the team into the dock, they lined up in a line, swaggering towards Pier 4. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The direction of the naval warehouse is still blazing, which plays a good cover. Approaching the Japanese gunboats, I could vaguely see many sailors on the gunboats, standing on the deck and looking in the direction of the naval warehouse. The Cheetah squad was dressed in Japanese uniforms, and the sailors on the deck thought it was a patrol force and were not on guard at all.
This Fushimi-class river gunboat was an early gunboat of the Japanese Navy. The ship was ordered to Armstrong in 1903, dismantled and shipped to Shanghai, and assembled by Kawasaki Shipyard in 1906, and was classified as a second-class gunboat. The period of the great development of the Japanese Navy's independent shipbuilding was after World War I, and then it became a maritime hegemon comparable to Europe and the United States. During this period, Japan's shipbuilding industry was just emerging and was in the early stage of rapid development.
The ship, with the port number 0001, was the first river gunboat of the Fushimi class and operated mainly in inland rivers and offshore waters. The ship has a displacement of 150 tons, a length of 48, 72 meters, a width of 7, 47 meters, and a draft of 0, 69 meters. It is powered by two reciprocating steam engines, two coal-fired boilers, 900 horsepower, 14 knots, and a capacity of 45 people. The ship was equipped with a single 60 mm gun and 4 machine guns.
At this time, most of the Japanese sailors stood at the railing of the ship's side and looked in the direction of the naval warehouse, unaware of the approaching patrol troops. Lin Qiang gave an order, and the team members quickly dispersed, and when the Japanese sailors were stunned, the short guns of the team members rushed out of the tongue of fire. It's close at hand, and there's no missing shot. The Japanese sailors were knocked to the ground without even reacting. There were about 20 Japanese sailors on deck, and it took less than 10 seconds to get out.
The team rushed to the deck, two members of the team checked the fallen Japanese soldiers, there was no dead refill, and the others rushed into the cabin with ease. Needless to say, the battle was a one-sided massacre. Soon the bodies of the Japanese sailors were dragged into the holds. "Report, no Japanese captain found!" A subordinate in the cab reported. "The Japanese captain must have come ashore, and the horse is pressurized and set sail!" Lin Qiang ordered.
About half an hour later, the gunboat headed for the mouth of the harbor. A subordinate skillfully piloted a gunboat, Lin Qiang was extremely nervous. Pier 4 is 2 kilometers away from the mouth of the harbor, the west side is the Cockscomb Mountain, the east side is the Golden Mountain, the two mountains face each other tightly clamping a waterway. The waterway at the mouth of the harbor is 220 meters wide, and the main channel is 80 meters, allowing only one warship to enter and exit at a time. This natural harbor blocks the wind and waves of the open sea, the wind and waves are calm, not frozen, and it is a trend of being a husband and a man.
There was no danger, the gunboat successfully made it out of the harbor, and Lin Qiang ordered to drive east at high speed. "Captain, I didn't expect it to be so easy to capture the Japanese gunboats, it's so enjoyable!" The subordinate who drove the roulette wheel said happily. "Oriental devils are not fools, they will strengthen their vigilance in the future, this time it's just too lucky." "Captain, what to do with this gunboat, shall we send it back?" "It's impossible to send it back, get to Long Island and blow up this gunboat."
Two hours later, Yoshinobu Oshima was shocked to hear that the gunboat No. 0001 was missing, and he exploded like thunder. He concluded that it was the attackers who had robbed the gunboats, and ordered all ships to search for the missing gunboats. As soon as the sky was bright, Kobayashi Kazunobu's eyes were red and he woke up Oshima Kazunobu and said: "Your Excellency General, after a careful investigation, we found clues at the sewer mouth in the naval warehouse, and after a search, we found discarded clothes at the septic tank of the main sewer. ”
"It can be concluded that the enemy used the sewers to carry out the attack. The attackers went out from the sewer inlet and then escaped by seizing the gunboat No. 4 0001 at Pier 0001. Yoshimasa Oshima walked to the map and said, "This is a group of specially trained devils, where is their escape route?" "Four directions, one of which is to cross the Bohai Sea and flee to the southern coast of Tianjin, and the western coast of Shandong is the most likely."
Kobayashi Kazushin continued: "The second is to cross the Bohai Bay and flee to the east coast of the Bohai Bay. 3, along the direction of the Bohai Bay escape camp, and 4, flee to the east. It is possible in all 4 directions. ”
"Order all the warships located in Tianjin to go out to search, and notify the allied warships operating in the Bohai Sea area to assist in the search." After Yoshinobu Oshima gave the order, he sat on his chair weakly, and the vast sea could not determine which direction the enemy would flee to, and the enemy would abandon the ship and flee at any time, so he could only do his best to do so.
The sky was dark, and the gunboats continued to break the waves and head east. "The captain has a situation, and his subordinates report it." Lin Qiang, who was in a daze, hurriedly got up from his chair and raised his binoculars. "Captain, there's a boat at 1 o'clock on the port side." "Can you tell what kind of ship it is?" "It's coming in our direction, it's too far away to see clearly!" Lin Qiang sounded the battle alarm, and then shouted into the microphone: "If you find the enemy, immediately enter the battle preparations!" ”
The distance was closer, "Captain, it's a British destroyer, they found us!" "I see clearly, it's a British destroyer. Leave it alone, keep going at full throttle. ”
This British destroyer was a warship that cooperated with the Japanese Navy's operations on the Shandong Peninsula. Due to the continuous voyage at sea, it was necessary to inspect, and the ship was to go to the Port of Arthur for regular maintenance. Since the British battleship, having learned that a Japanese gunboat had been hijacked and disappeared by the attackers, it was obliged to search for the gunboat along the way.
The British man-made ship, well recognizable. Soon the British recognized the gunboat as the hijacked gunboat and chased after it at full speed. Fortunately, the British Navy destroyer was an old warship with a speed of only 12 knots. The British destroyer knew that it could not catch up with the gunboat, so it took the lead in pursuing it. The battleship fired an extremely low rate of hits while moving, and despite the fact that the shells constantly raised columns of water on the sides of the gunboat, they did not hit.
Lin Qiang, including his subordinates, was extremely nervous and fled at full speed at full speed. When the British destroyer saw that the shelling was not effective, they stopped shelling and followed at full speed. A few hours later, the British battleship was still far away. I finally saw Ishijo Island. Lin Qiang ordered a time bomb to be planted in the ammunition compartment, and then rushed directly to the shore. Due to the shallow draft of the gunboat, it rushed to the beach with all its strength to the hull of the gunboat.
The team members jumped off the gunboat with agility and quickly ran towards the depths of the island. Five minutes later, there was a dull explosion, followed by an even louder explosion, and I saw debris flying in the middle of the battleship, a large cloud of steam rushing, and two chimneys flying towards the shore beach and tumbling continuously. The gunboat was enveloped in fire and smoke and spread into the sky. The team members couldn't help but cheer.
"If there is anything to see, we hurried to the Haixi contact point and quickly crossed the sea." "Captain, aren't we going to rest on Long Island, why are we going inland?" "We have been discovered, the Japanese army will soon come to encircle and suppress, and it is no longer possible to rest on Long Island." "The captain is right, the Japanese army will pull the net to clean up, and there is nowhere to hide on Long Island." Hearing this, the team members regained their composure and moved swiftly and galloped to the northeast.
The British destroyer came to the shore where the gunboat was, and when he saw that the gunboat had become a pile of scrap metal, he sent a report to Lushun to report the situation. The British destroyer did not leave, but roamed in the nearby waters, apparently to participate in the encirclement and suppression operation. Oshima Yoshimasa received a report from the British destroyer and immediately ordered the Japanese warships to blockade the waters near the inland sea to prevent the enemy from escaping inland. Yoshimasa Oshima has done his best to not destroy this terrible evil star, and he will not give up.
After Lin Qiang led his team to Haixi, he quickly got in touch with the liaison station, and then rushed to the inland without stopping. Soon after they came ashore, several Japanese warships appeared on the sea. "Captain, it's so hanging! If we are blockaded on the island by the Japanese army, we will all become turtles in an urn. One of the team members said a little apprehensively. No wonder the Overseers, Captain, appreciate you and say you're remarkable. "Okay, let's hurry up and hurry, take advantage of the fact that the Oriental devils have not woken up, and hide as soon as possible."
"Captain, we were originally planned to rest on Long Island, where are we going now?" "Let's go to Dalian!" "Captain, Dalian is a tiger's nose, isn't this the initiative to send it to the door?" "The most dangerous place, but also the safest place, the key is to make the Japanese army scratch their heads. The Overseers have said, "It's called darkness in the lamp, and you forgot!" "The Overseer said in class that being able to lurk under the noses of the enemy is a must for the Cheetah Special Forces!"
The team members gossiped and forgot about the cold. At present, the search of the Japanese army on the Liaodong Peninsula has been suspended, and under the cover of night, the Cheetah team entered Dalian at midnight the next day.
The Japanese army cleared out Nagashima for half a month, and more than ten islands turned the Japanese army upside down, and no trace of the attackers was found.
