In the camp of the Qingdao Navy Special Operations Regiment, Jiang Fangzhen faced Zhang Wenzhao, the commander of the special operations regiment who was standing tall, and said: "You are not bold, you actually called the commander without authorization?" "Deputy Commander Chiang, the brothers on land are fighting in full swing, but we are watching the excitement. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The intention of Commander Info to form a naval special operations regiment is self-evident. I guess it's our turn to strike, or the Orientals will run away. "You kid is quite smart, but you don't have the conditions to capture ships, how do you attack?" "The deputy commander is here, and it must have brought good news!"

"Don't be too happy, Commander Ge said, if you don't come out, you will be a blockbuster once you act. This move is determined to succeed and not fail. Capturing Japanese warships is not only for your own use, the key is to make the Japanese navy frightened, how is the training of your department? "Deputy commander, subordinates dare not slack off. According to Commander Ge's instructions, our department has carried out targeted devil training, and I can use the head on my neck to vouch for it! "You have a few heads to vouch for, play the piano!" Jiang Fangzhen waved his hand, and one of his subordinates brought up a map.

The map unfolds to show the outline of the easternmost sea area of the Shandong Peninsula. "Commander Zhang, in recent days, our air force has frequently carried out air raids on Yantai and Weihai, forcing the main warships of the Japanese Navy to stay away from the bomber range and evade. According to intelligence, several Japanese battleships appeared in the waters of Rongcheng Bay, and your chance has come! "Deputy Commander, please tell Commander Ge that if your subordinates can't complete the task, go to the commander with your head up." "This is a detailed plan drawn up by the command, you take a closer look, I need your supplementary ······."

Two days later, Zhang Wenzhao selected 100 team members for the carrying capacity of the two former German submarines. In 1906, Germany developed the U-boat, which later became famous all over the world, and showed its might in the battle. During the war, in order to effectively detect submarine attacks, France developed sonar devices, but they were only early underwater listeners, and due to technical and other reasons, they were not equipped on warships on a large scale. The real large-scale application of sonar was after the end of World War I.

Given the fact that the invented sonar was still at its primitive stage and did not massively equip warships, excellent conditions were created for the operation of submarines of the German Navy. During World War I, the German Navy played a great role in submarine warfare, which continued into World War II and achieved the glory of submarine warfare. The two former German Navy submarines located in Qingdao today belong to the early U23 submarines. It has a displacement of 254 tons, a length of 40, 9 meters, a width of 4 meters, and a crew of 22 people. The surface speed is 13 knots, the maximum depth of the dive is 48 meters, and the speed is 4 knots. The boat has a maximum range of about 1,000 nautical miles and its battery can be used for about an hour.

Early that morning, two submarines carrying 80 naval special operators set off. This time, in order to carry out special tasks, the two submarines removed the torpedoes inside the submarines, one to increase the space inside the submarines to accommodate more people, and the other to increase the maneuverability and range of the submarines. The torpedo removal of the submarine was reduced in weight, and the speed was up to 15 knots on the surface and up to 6 knots under water. In addition, in order to maximize the number of people on board, the number of German sailors inside the submarine was reduced from 22 to 8, and only the engineer, captain and necessary operators were retained.

The two submarines drove forward at high speed one after the other, facing the sea breeze, and Zhang Wenzhao, Captain Hans of No. 001 and an interpreter stood on the deck and looked ahead. Hans sighed: "General Zhang, the plan you have formulated to seize the ship is simply crazy. If we are discovered by the Japanese ships, we will die without a place to bury! "Don't worry, Captain Hans, we are operating in the near sea, and the opportunity to support us is always there. Not long ago, two radio stations were installed on submarines to ensure that fighter planes were called to volunteer. This time, a field airfield was temporarily repaired in Rushan, which was prepared for our operation. ”

"Even if the submarine can be secured, how sure are you of your plan to capture the Japanese warship?" "Frankly not sure, but as long as there is one percent hope, we must give 100 percent of our efforts." "It's unbelievable to capture a Japanese battleship, may God bless you!" Zhang Wenzhao said to the translator: "You tell him that we don't believe in God, and death is reincarnation for us." Hans was puzzled by the interpreter's explanation, and curiously asked what the meaning of translation reincarnation meant.

At this time, the team members stood on the narrow deck to breathe, and no one wanted to burrow into the sweltering submarine to suffer. At present, the Japanese army is retreating with all its might, so there is almost no Japanese warship activity in the waters south and southeast of the Shandong Peninsula. After dark, there was a lively scene at the Mashantou Fish Wharf in the east of Yeongseong, and a large number of transport ships and freighters appeared on the sea, and the Japanese 14th Division appeared here, and according to Yamamoto Nagawa's order, they were to withdraw to the Korean Peninsula in Mashantou by transport ships. Since Mashantou is a fish wharf, large transport vessels are moored in the sea.

The battleship Hanoi of the Japanese Combined Fleet came to cover with two destroyers, and the sea was the domain of the Japanese naval warships, and now they were most worried about the threat from the enemy's air. During the day, the Japanese army did not dare to withdraw troops on a large scale, and the enemy fighters could not rise into the air at night, so the Japanese army took advantage of the cover of night to seize the time to transport the evacuated troops. Since the large Japanese transport ships could not dock at the fish dock, they had to anchor in the deep water outside the dock and use wooden boats to transport soldiers to the transport ships.

This tossing and turning took time, and at this time, the battleship Hanoi was at anchor in the sea, and two destroyers were cruising nearby to serve as guards. Perhaps it was an inevitability by chance, Zhang Wenzhao was lucky to encounter the battleship Heshan at Mashantou. Could it be that this is providential. The Dreadnought-class battleship, known as the Kawayama, was completed and launched in 1912 with a displacement of 20,800 tons and a length of 160.6 meters. It is 25, 7 meters wide. There are 16 main coal-fired boilers, with a power of 25,000 horsepower, a maximum speed of 20 knots, and a range of up to 2,700 nautical miles at a speed of 18 knots, with 999 people in Dingyuan!

The Hanoi's fire was terrifying, with one 305-mm gun in the front and rear, and two 305-mm guns on each side of the ship. 10 152-mm guns, 8 120-mm guns. 12 76-mm guns, 4 short 76-mm guns, 5 450-mm underwater torpedo tubes. Two Dreadnought-class battleships have been launched to this day, and they have not been tested in actual combat at sea. According to the Japanese Navy's shipbuilding plan, this dreadnought-class battleship is just excessive, and the next step of the Japanese Navy is ambitious, with the ambition of dominating the ocean, to build Kongo-class battlecruisers.

Earlier, a gunboat was accidentally snatched, although it humiliated the Japanese Navy, resulting in the Commander of the Combined Fleet, Masao Kato, going down. However, the Japanese Navy Command analyzed that the robbery of a small gunboat was an accident caused by the enemy in order to escape. Although the Japanese Navy has strengthened the high alert of its warships, it is not to be feared because most of them are small warships. A large battleship like the Hanoi is almost impossible to capture on the sea. However, the Japanese did not expect that the enemy would be able to make a plan to seize a large battleship, a crazy plan.

There is a way that is not afraid of not being able to do it, but afraid of not being able to think of it, and where there is a will, there is a way. Opportunity is for those who are prepared, and luck comes with it when it comes. It stands to reason that Zhang Wenzhao should have been looking for a few days when he entered Rongcheng Bay, but that night they drove to the sea area of Mashantou and accidentally encountered prey. The two submarines approached the destroyer that was swimming outside and dived into a position, and the periscope was exposed. The submarine quietly approached the sea where the battleship Hanoi was anchored. It seems to be silent. At present, the warships of the Japanese Navy are not equipped with sonar systems, and the enemy situation is observed by the naked eye of the lookouts. “

The battleship Hanoi was anchored less than 200 meters away from the nearest Japanese naval transport vessel. Japanese soldiers pedaled the ships in small boats, and the decks of several transport ships were brightly lit and hot. On the contrary, the battleship Hanoi was dimly lit and quiet. The light refracted by the Japanese transport ship supported the huge figure of the battleship Hanoi, like a monster on the sea, and the two submarines gradually approached the battleship. "Captain Hans, can you confirm what kind of battleship it is?"

"It can be confirmed that it is the latest dreadnought-class battleship of the Japanese Navy, we carefully studied the Japanese Navy before the war, and I have seen this battleship in photos. General Zhang, the Dreadnought-class battleships have a crew of about 1,000 people, and you only have 100 people, can you deal with them? "Captain Hans, the Japanese sailors are scattered in all parts of the battleship, as long as the pedaling ship is not detected, there is no problem. Captain Hans, you sail to the stern of the battleship, and we pedal the ship at the tail! "Understood!" Hans began to give orders.

Zhang Wenzhao said to his subordinates: "The Germans provided us with the details of the battleship, and everyone knows the internal structure!" The crowd nodded, their faces excited. "Brethren, there are thousands of men on this ship, so we need to be extra careful. The battleship Hanoi had three decks, and we had to clean them one by one, especially the lower engine room, to prevent the Japanese engineers from opening the dump valve to sink the ship. In order to prevent the Japanese soldiers from resisting, all of them were killed to avoid accidents, and remember that only the dead will not resist. ”

In order to succeed in capturing the ship, each team member was equipped with two pistols with silencers and a dagger. The key to whether the ship capture can succeed is that it cannot be discovered by Japanese soldiers, and this is the guarantee of success. Zhang Wenzhao looked at his pocket watch, and the hour and minute hands pointed to 21 o'clock. There was a slight sound of drainage outside, and Zhang Wenzhao ordered in a low voice to prepare for action. In the aft waters of the battleship Hanoi, the entrances and exits above the two submarines were revealed, and the hulls did not surface. The closed hatch at the entrance and exit opened, and the team members climbed out and jumped directly into the sea.

Zhang Wenzhao was the last to leave, he reached out to Hans and shook his hand, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then climbed up. Hans had a respectful look in his eyes and prayed for the success of his actions. The position of the submarine was only a few dozen meters away from the stern of the battleship, and the crew quickly swam to the tail. In the dark, one of the team members pulls out a crossbow and chooses the appropriate position to fire upwards. It took 4 consecutive shots before the hook claw hung on the railing. At this time, all the team members were very nervous, and they saw a team member with a hemp rope on his back, climbing up along the wire rope.

Everyone held their breath, and if they were found at this point, the operation would be a failure. There was no danger, and I saw the climber climb onto the deck. Soon, a large rope was lowered from above, and the team members climbed up in turn, and the night covered their figures well.
