Chapter 038: Capture of the aircraft carrier
Several large warships were hit one after another, frigates and torpedo boats and other ships panicked, this is going to be the end, they don't know what to do now, the aircraft carrier is controlled, they can't run if they leave the aircraft carrier, they can't run if they don't run,
The captain of a frigate contacted Dave on the aircraft carrier in the midst of intense artillery fire and reported the situation truthfully, and the captain of the frigate clearly told Dave that they could no longer hold it and that they planned to escape.
Dave knew that there were no even cruisers and destroyers, and it was a joke that they wanted to get support, the Chinese had planes and submarines, and large-caliber warships, and their small warships could not be dealt with, and Dave agreed with a little hesitation,
U.S. submarines and frigates began to evacuate quickly, but the Chinese fleet would certainly not let them leave easily.
Dave told the officers in the cabin about the situation, and everyone was really desperate at the moment, and now they either surrendered or died.
Dave said: "There are only two ways in front of us, the first is to surrender now to avoid unnecessary casualties, although I am extremely unwilling, and second, to the end, fight to the end, fight to the last soldier, and finally detonate the bomb in the cabin, but I am afraid that the Chinese will not have too many deaths, and all of us will not be spared, I can't be the master of this, like listening to everyone's opinions." ”
The captain said: "If the matter is irreparable, then it is unnecessary for us to persist any longer, which will only increase casualties." ”
The deputy captain said: "I don't agree, if it's white people on the other side, we can surrender, but on the other side are damn yellow-skinned monkeys, how can we surrender to them, I think we should use the capsule to resist gradually, and finally when it doesn't work, we will detonate the ammunition depot and die with the Chinese." ”
Everyone was silent for a while, they were not afraid of death, but they could not accept that meaningless death, there were thousands of them here, but there were not many Chinese,
The deputy captain saw that everyone hesitated and said: "Gentlemen, even if you surrender, I am afraid that the Chinese may not give you international humanitarian treatment, look at the Japanese, didn't they say that they would give international humanitarian treatment to the surrendered US troops, but how many US troops who surrendered in the Philippines have returned?" ”
"Look at how the Chinese dealt with the Soviets, all of them were expelled, and now those people have been killed by the Germans."
An officer said, "As long as you don't kill us and expel us, won't we just be able to go back to the United States." ”
The vice-captain said angrily, "Do you have to surrender the damn yellow-skinned monkey, you spineless white trash." ”
The officer retorted unceremoniously: "In the law of the United States, we are allowed to give up our weapons when we are cornered and have done our best, and now we have done our best, and besides, it is not that we are incompetent, but that we are being asked to be bait." ”
"What's wrong with the surrender, didn't there be so many troops who surrendered to Japan in the first place?"
"You ......," said the deputy captain with a pistol pointed at the officer's heart, "you are a disgrace to the whites." "Anyway, the plane will be deducted, the captain quickly put the deputy captain's hand too high, the bullet hit the ceiling, and a group of people jumped down, is this vice captain crazy?
Dave was very angry, and there was a fight in the nest at this time, in fact, he knew that the officer was not wrong, the law did say so, and the deputy captain was actually not wrong, and he felt awkward to let him surrender to the yellow race,
Dave said: "Everyone knows the situation, everyone raise their hands to vote, and those who agree to surrender raise their hands." "As a commander, Dave certainly won't raise his hand to break everyone's morale,
However, the officer who had just clashed with the deputy captain raised his hand, and then some more officers raised their hands, and soon more than half of them raised their hands.
The co-captain roared, "You traitors, you are all cowards. ”
Dave and the others were indifferent to this, and after a while he said: "Colonel, we know that you love the United States very much, but now the situation is very unfavorable to us, we can only surrender temporarily, and leave us useful to serve the United States." ”
The others also said to me: "Yes, yes, Colonel, it is true that we are dead, but is it meaningful for us to die now, no, if we look for death at every turn, then who will fight for the United States, and who will defend the United States." ”
The co-captain had something to say, but Dave said, "Protect the co-captain, he needs to be quiet." Everyone understood what Dave meant, and immediately put the deputy captain into custody.
The vice captain was escorted away with a shout, and Dave said to everyone: "We have done our best for the United States, from now on we will live for ourselves and our families, let's choose a representative to negotiate." ”
Soon they elected an officer who could speak a few words of Chinese as plenipotentiary, and at the same time they sent a telegram of surrender to the Chinese fleet in clear code.
Wang Kai quickly agreed to Dave's request, which is a good thing, if it continues, the aircraft carrier will be beaten to pieces, and even the Americans will detonate the ammunition depot, so the aircraft carrier will be destroyed.
The American representative soon stepped onto the deck, and Wang Kai sent an English-speaking interpreter to represent him, but later decided to go out himself.
"Hello General, you are so young." The Chinese of the American representative is very lame, but Wang Kai listens comfortably, Wang Kai is actually only in his twenties, indeed very young, the entire Chinese navy is very young, the older generation died as early as 1937 to 1942, the current naval officers and men are now raised,
Wang Kai actually only has the rank of lieutenant colonel, but the Americans are here to surrender, so it is better to be respectful.
Wang Kai nodded and said with a smile: "You're welcome, I declare a little bit about my position as a lieutenant colonel." ”
The representative of the American side continued: "Okay, Your Excellency General......
"Again, I am a lieutenant colonel." Wang Kai interrupted,
"Understood, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel." Then the American representative said in English: "Our general agrees to surrender now, but we need to confirm whether you can guarantee that we will be treated as prisoners of war under international conventions." ”
After listening to the translation, Wang Kai said: "There is no problem at all, our Chinese nation has a civilization of 5,000 years, and it is the only remaining ancient civilization in the world. ”
……
The two sides quickly reached a consensus on the issue of surrender, and the US representative returned to his life satisfied.
After receiving the reply from the American representative, Dave was very satisfied, and soon led more than 1,000 American soldiers to surrender, and the Americans on the other aircraft carrier also surrendered.
Wang Kai and Wang Xing were very satisfied, and easily got two aircraft carriers, and they were still intact, no, some anti-aircraft guns on the deck of the aircraft carrier were still knocked out, and some bullet holes were left, but as long as they were pulled back to the port to repair him, they could be repaired for a week.
Wang Kai quickly reported the good news to Huang Feihu, and he didn't care about sinking a few US ** ships.
And the American GIs were concentrated on the deck of the aircraft carrier, but at this time there was another problem, that is, they did not have enough manpower to operate these two aircraft carriers, and they were not familiar with the American aircraft carriers, they drove Chinese helicopter carriers and cruisers,
Wang Kai found Dave and told him to ask the American officers and soldiers to help drive the aircraft carrier, but Dave resolutely disagreed, "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, we are prisoners of war, and we are not obliged to help you drive the aircraft carrier." ”
Wang Kai said: "No, no, no...... You are not helping us, but saving yourself, if we can't drive the aircraft carrier, we will definitely continue to stay here, and when your fleet comes over, we will disperse all of you to the deck of each ship in the fleet, and if your planes dare to attack, you will die together. ”
"That's not going to work, we're not going to help you sail."
"You're not afraid that I'll kill you."
Dave saw Wang Kai staring at him gloomily, and immediately panicked, "Sir, you can't do this, we enjoy the protection of international conventions." ”
"Well, no one knows about killing you, as long as you throw the corpse into the sea, you will soon be eaten by sharks."
"You, you...... You really want to do that. ”
"It's hard to say, if you don't cooperate."
"You are flouting international conventions, and I will go to the international tribunal to sue you."
Wang Kai said: "Yes, but you have to have a life until that time." ”
Dave compromised, "Okay. ”
In fact, they just talked in the crowd, and what they said, the Americans around them heard it clearly.
The Americans quickly returned to their posts, but the Chinese had sealed off the ammunition compartments, and the Marines had secured all their positions, while the American pilots and some unnecessary people remained on deck, and at three o'clock, the two aircraft carriers followed the helicopter formation at full speed and headed for Minami Bird Island.
From the current situation, the Beiyang Fleet has perfectly completed the task of containment, and has achieved unexpected results, the original intention of their dispatch was to drag the Pacific Fleet, and wait for the land to land in Alaska, so that with the Chinese air force and fleet can control the Bering Strait,
As for taking Hawaii, Wang Hanzhang is just thinking about it, after all, the difference in strength is too great, and the Americans' air force is very strong, and now it has achieved night operations, even if you want to sneak attack Hawaii, it is also very difficult to peninsula, Wang Hanzhang must wait for his secret weapon to come out.
The helicopter formation will travel through Japanese-controlled waters to China, towing the two aircraft carriers to the naval base in Qingdao for repairs.
And Huang Feihu still has one thing to do at the moment, that is, to try to kill the 14th Task Force of the United States, kill this fleet, they will return to rest and recuperate, in the past month, they are too tired,
