July 28, 1942. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoDalian wharf offshore.

Daniel Zhang became the mayor of Dalian. One of the things he did was to get the plant back up and running. On the same day, the shipyards and wharves and railways resumed work, and under the supervision of the army, under the leadership of the underground party, and under the leadership of the workers, the resumption of work went smoothly. After the dock was successfully resumed, it was handed over to the Navy and handed over to Zhang Xuesi.

The newly captured Japanese ships on the wharf were neatly docked, and the wharf was three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry. Workers' pickets wore red armbands. There are also people who are working with their heads down, and they are Japanese employees.

Dalian is a colonial city, and a large number of jobs are held by Japanese and Koreans, and if they are all arrested, Dalian will cease to function.

Zhang Xuesi's troops were stationed near the pier, which was originally a Japanese naval barracks. Zhang Xuesi released all the marines to maintain law and order and repair ships.

He himself grasped one thing himself, and that was to salvage the sunken ship.

The so-called salvage of sunken ships means to salvage the Japanese warships that were sunk a few days ago. Own fleet has only a few warships, which is not enough. Before Dalian was completely recovered, he began to search for technicians and organize the salvage of the wreck.

I heard that for salvaging the wreck, Xiaolu gave him a few ideas, and a few ideas were given to the Japanese technicians, but they were not sure, but after testing, it was very effective.

Less than three nautical miles from the port, dozens of small tugboats on the sea are busy with something. I only heard one intellectual order: "Give the wind!" "His accent was a little weird, it was the accent of the Japanese speaking Chinese.

There were several jolts under the water, and the people on board heard a dull sound.

The intellectuals ordered: "Get into the water!" ”

More than a dozen divers jumped into the water.

After half an hour, more than a dozen huge pontoons floated up, and in the middle of a dozen pontoons, the ship's mast hull gradually surfaced.

At this time, some divers emerged from the water and got on the boat, while another group of divers jumped into the water and continued the operation.

Soon, the shipwreck hull was revealed. Five or six people jumped on it, and soon, welding equipment and water pumps were also on board. Welders began to temporarily patch holes in the warship's hull, while others began pumping water from the ship.

At first, the hull was crooked, but after pumping, the hull began to gradually straighten out.

A larger tugboat whistled and dragged the wreck to shore

In the afternoon, the wreck arrived at the pier, the hole in the wreck had been plugged with electric welding, and the water had been drained.

Another warship!

This is a Japanese warship that Zhang Xuesi led the fleet to sink a few days ago. The warship is small, it is a thousand tons. When the hull came out of the water, Zhang Xuesi was overjoyed and poured wine for the divers and technicians to celebrate.

One of the divers, the water ghost, said, "What a good ship, but it's a pity, look at this big hole." Who blew it, so ruthlessly. ”

Another said, "yes, how long will it take to fix this?" ”

Zhang Xuesi said: "I'm really sorry, I brought someone to blow it up." You know, at that time there was a naval war, and if you didn't blow it up, he would blow you up. ”

One person said: "Don't worry, we will all go on three shifts and repair the ship as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Xuesi said: "That's great, our fleet is short of ships, everyone repairs a ship as soon as possible, and our fleet will be stronger." In addition, there is a warship and two transport ships in the sea, and I ask everyone to hurry up and salvage them. ”

The Japanese technician in command suddenly said: "General, I suggest that the corpses in the warship be sorted out and buried." ”

Zhang Xuesi said: "I understand your thoughts. In this way, we organized a team to be responsible for the disposal of the bodies during the salvage of the wreck. ”

At this time, a person ran over and said, "Political commissar, there is a situation, the commander asks you to go quickly." ”

Daniel Zhang received information that the Japanese army had come to a fleet of five warships, assembled from Qingdao and set off, aiming at Dalian. The intelligence came from Shandong, because of an accident, the intelligence transmission was a day late, and it is estimated that the Japanese warship has already arrived off the coast of Dalian.

Zhang Xuesi said: "Our ships are not strong in combat effectiveness, in the last naval battle, we sank two enemy warships and two troop carriers, and we were seriously injured ourselves, and only one of them could walk freely. ”

Daniel Zhang said: "This battle must be won. If it loses, Dalian will be unstable. The Japanese and Koreans in Dalian will be restless. ”

Zhang Xuesi said: "We need to use secret weapons. ”

Daniel Zhang said, "Do you want to use the number three again?" ”

Zhang Xuesi said: "No. 2 and No. 3 are both on. Send a warship to lead the enemy's fleet to a suitable area, and the third and second are ambushed in advance, and they will attack and attack, and destroy one or two enemy warships in a short distance. ”

Daniel Zhang said: "Put the news out, just say that there is only one warship left in our fleet, and we will defend Dalian to the death." ”

Zhang Xuesi said: "Okay." I'm making a plan, however, No. 2 and No. 3 are currently in the vicinity of Changhai. We need to move them to the vicinity of Dalian Port right away. ”

Daniel Zhang said, "We will report this matter to the commander-in-chief. The Commander-in-Chief always has a lot of ideas, and maybe he will give us some guidance. ”

In the evening, the high-sea reconnaissance ships sent back a telegram that the Japanese warships had assembled southwest of Dalian and had gathered three warships. At the moment, the Japanese fleet is parked in place, seemingly waiting for other ships.

The telegram was sent to Xiaolu, who was in Shenyang.

In the last naval battle, Zhang Xuesi was caught off guard and encountered two Japanese warships and four troop carriers, and if they did not fight, the situation in Dalian would be very unfavorable.

That naval battle was very tragic, and Zhang Xuesi's three warships were of the same tonnage as the other party, and they were all small warships. In addition, he led two transport ships, on which several field guns were housed.

Because our navy was not skilled in handling ships, we were quickly hit by Japanese warships. The transports had a good record against the enemy's troop carriers, the troop carriers were damaged, the Japanese killed a lot, two of them broke through the waterline and sank.

The Japanese warships pursued the victory, and at this time, the port of Dalian was not far away. At this time, a Japanese warship spotted the torpedo and immediately dodged, it was too late, and the torpedo hit the warship, because the torpedo was not very powerful, and only hit a large hole.

Although the ship was not blown up, it was not saved. The explosion and sinking of this ship attracted the attention of another warship, and while it was hesitating, a torpedo hit this one. This warship also sank.

On the surface, the results of the naval battle were very brilliant, two Japanese warships were sunk, two troop carriers were sunk, and two troop carriers were damaged and fled, but in fact, we also paid a great price. If it weren't for the sneak attack of submarine No. 3, the enemy's warship would not have sunk. In that case, it is likely that it will be our warship that sinks.

Because of the need for secrecy, even ordinary naval soldiers did not know that it was the Japanese warship sunk by the submarine, and claimed that it was caused by the martyrdom of Japanese artillery shells.

In this battle, I wonder if the Japanese army will be on guard against submarines?

In addition to reporting to Yan'an, Xiaolu held a meeting with the Northeast Command, and also discussed the combat plan with Dalian.

In addition, no matter what actions the enemy's fleet makes, we will do whatever we have to do.
