Chapter 598: While Waiting, I Fought a Battle by the Way

In the early hours of December 22, 1942. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Kaohsiung.

Kaohsiung's original place name was Dagou, and there are also names called Dagu, and Kaohsiung, a Japanese place name, is completely a product of the colony. In 1900, the port of Kaohsiung was expanded at a cost of 7,800 yen, and the trade volume expanded rapidly. In 1907, the trade volume exceeded 100 million yen for the first time, accounting for half of Taiwan's total, and in 1934, the trade exceeded 200 million yen, and in 1937, it exceeded 300 million yen.

Taiwan's largest port is Keelung Port, Kaohsiung Port is Taiwan's second largest port, the main trading object Japan, exports rice sugar bananas, canned pineapples, etc., imports Japanese industrial products, fertilizers.

Nowadays, the war in the Pacific Ocean is in full swing, and Kaohsiung Port has become one of the transit points between Japan and the South Seas. A large number of materials plundered from the South Seas were transferred from here, and a large number of troops from the Japanese mainland were also transferred here. In addition, the grain transported from Taiwan to the South Seas is also loaded and transported here.

Zhang Haiyang's submarine has been wandering around the sea outside the port for two days, and he has also sent people to go ashore in rubber boats to reconnoiter twice, there are cargo ships and warships in the port, and there are too few people of his own, and he really can't do it if he wants to capture a ship.

The submarine's fuel supply was not enough, and it was estimated that it would run out when it arrived in Shandong, so everyone discussed it and simply captured a Japanese oil supply ship in Taiwan, which not only solved the problem, but also allowed the troops to have oil ships, killing two birds with one stone.

Zhang Haiyang breathed a sigh outside, looked at the lights of the port in the distance, and suddenly saw that the lights flashed twice on the dark sea, and the rubber boat came back.

The scout who rowed a rubber boat to the dock to reconnoiter was a torpedo man, and this time brought back good news, the warships in the harbor had left, which the submarine had seen, but there was indeed a full tank ship on the dock, and a small gunboat. Originally, there were several anti-smuggling ships in the port, most of them sailing, and a few of them were under repair.

In addition, it was clear that the oil tanker and gunboat were to leave the port four hours later, that is, at seven o'clock in the morning, and go to Keelung Harbor. This is what the sailors on the ship heard while chatting.

At six o'clock in the morning, on the channel in front of the pier, the waves slowly rose, and a big black guy floated to the surface, and before the big guy stopped, the lid on the top was lifted, and a black shadow crawled out, looked around, and climbed out. Then the second one also crawled out, and after more than a dozen black shadows crawled out, they dived directly into the water.

Ten minutes later, four or five shadows climbed onto the gunboat along the anchor chain, and five or six shadows climbed onto the tanker. A few minutes later, there was a wave of people on the small gunboat and the oil boat. Then, the people on the submarine saw that the people on both ships began to get busy, black smoke rose from the chimneys, and the anchor chains began to be retracted.

The dark shadow closed the lid and slowly dived into the water.

At 11 a.m., Taiwai Hai.

The sea was windy, and the sky was overcast. Oil supply ships and gunboats sailed north one morning to the sea off Taiwan. Not far from the two boats, a metal pipe poked out of the water, looked left and right, saw the flag, and the pipe retracted.

After a while, the submarine surfaced, and the three ships lined up in a line, all the way to the north. The oil is tall, and the flag of the Japanese Navy is flying high.

December 23, 1942. Xiaolu and his party left Taipei.

Liu Baijie left five people, and four old Taiwan Communist Party members were added. When Xiao Lu left, he talked to Liu Baijie about some ideas, especially about the independence tendency in the hearts of the people in Taiwan.

Xie Xuehong and a few people on the road got on the bus and drove to the suburbs. After a little more than an hour, several people got out of the car and walked along the path into a small village by the sea. Instead of entering the village, several people followed a mountain road, crossed a ridge, and reached a bay, where a small boat was parked.

Xie Xuehong obeyed the arrangement and got on the boat with Mr. Lu and the other four people. The small fishing boat left the seashore, Xie Xuehong was very strange, could she take a small fishing boat to cross the sea?

The boat walked for less than twenty minutes and reached the deep water. I saw a whale floating on the water on its back, and a two-person tall thing on it, much like the chimney of a steamer. When I got closer, I could see that there was a person on it.

The fishing boat approached, and Mr. Lu said, "Several, please get on board." ”

Xie Xuehong: "What kind of ship is this?" ”

Mr. Lu said: "Submarine." ”

Xie Xuehong entered the submarine and saw that there was a lot of space in the underwater part of the submarine, and was very amazed, and said: "I heard that there is a submarine before, and this is the first time I have seen it." Was this aided by the USSR? ”

A soldier next to him stopped, sneering, and looked very disdainful.

Mr. Lu said: "It's not aid. Soviet submarine technology was inferior to that of Germany and Japan. We made it ourselves. What do you think? ”

Xie Xuehong: "Amazing." Shall we take this to Dalian? ”

Mr. Lu said: "No." This thing is for combat use, and the space inside is small and uncomfortable. We are here for the time being during the fighting. After the battle, we took a big boat. In the past few days, in order to get oil, the submarine captured a gunboat and an oil tanker in Kaohsiung, southern Taiwan. We took oil tankers. ”

A man in a navy uniform: "Now, I don't know if we have been found in Kaohsiung Port." He should have known that the ship was lost. If nothing else, the pursuing Japanese warships are approaching. ”

Mr. Lu said: "Let me introduce, this is Captain Zhang, Zhang Haiyang." Ocean, this is the leadership of Taiwan's underground party, Comrade Xie Xuehong. ”

Xie Xuehong: "Hello, hello." "I had a question, a sigh, and several feelings mixed together.

After a while, the submarine shook, apparently starting.

The submarine walked a little way and came to the vicinity of a small island in the strait. Two boats, one large and one small, are docked here, and the small road carries the submarine and wants to dock on the island to change boats. At this time, the news came that the ship docked on the island had started.

Xie Xuehong and the four old Taiwanese sat on the captain's bed and chair. After a while, I saw through the window of the door that the submarine suddenly became nervous, and the five people knew that there might be a Japanese warship. The soldiers on the submarine ran wildly, and soon they were all in place.

Several people also became nervous. Seventy or eighty Japanese warships came. Can you dodge?

The password from outside came in.

After more than ten minutes, several people suddenly felt a shock to the hull of the boat, and they didn't know what was happening. However, in a few tens of seconds, the hull of the boat shook again.

Then I faintly heard a rumbling outside, and another boom.

The five of them still didn't know why, and at this time, the cheers of the submariners outside came in. Xie Xuehong opened the hatch and heard Captain Zhang shouting: "The submarine is floating!" ”

At this time, a sailor came over and said to the five people: "Prepare a few people, you and Commander Lu will leave the submarine and get on the big ship." ”

Xie Xuehong said: "What happened just now?" ”

The sailor said: "There were two Japanese warships just now, they must have searched for oil ships, the submarine was hit by two torpedoes and all of them were sunk, and now, the Japanese are escaping in lifeboats." Our submarine went to rendezvous with the big ship. ”

Xie Xuehong walked out and saw that the sailors were cheering. Their cheers were strange, their mouths were shouting loudly, their arms were waving wildly, but their bodies were not moving.

When I came to the command cabin, I saw Mr. Lu and Captain Zhang talking about something. Seeing Xie Xuehong coming, he said, "Okay, the battle is over, you can relax." ”

Xie Xuehong didn't believe it, and said, "Why is it over like this?" Can I go up and have a look? ”

Mr. Lu: "You can take a look." ”

Captain Zhang: "Two torpedoes, all hit the waterline, both warships sank, and one ship was blown up at once." And so the battle ended. ”

At this moment, the door above the head was opened, and water droplets flew down. Xie Xuehong was about to go up, but saw Captain Zhang hurriedly climb up and said, "Hurry up!" ”

Xie Xuehong pointed to Captain Zhang, and Mr. Lu said: "He wants to go up and take photos and keep the information." Go, come up with me. ”

Xie Xuehong followed the road out of the submarine, it was a good weather outside, there was no wind, it was rare. Climbing out of the hatch, I saw thick smoke billowing not far away, a column of smoke soaring into the sky, and when I looked closely, there were many people on the water, and shouts were faintly heard.

A big ship is tilting and sinking, and this is the ship with thick smoke. The other boat seemed to be broken, its bow cocked high.

The people who fell into the water were obviously Japanese soldiers, and some of the people who had entered the water early saw a big boat and swam towards them.

Xie Xuehong was fascinated, and when she saw that Mr. Lu handed over a telescope, she took it. The binoculars saw it more clearly, and the expressions of the Japanese soldiers struggling on the water were clearly visible.

Xie Xuehong was shocked to see the Japanese lose so badly for the first time. This Northeast Coalition Force is so powerful that it can sink such a powerful Japanese warship at once. How can it be.

I was distracted, and I heard a voice say, "It's time, ready to leave." ”

At this time, a telegraph operator took a telegram and showed it directly to Xiaolu. Xiao Lu read it, wrote a few words on a blank piece of paper, and the operator went.

Xiao Lu saw Xie Xuehong looking at himself and said, "Just now, two submarines appeared nearby, which were from the United States. They saw us attacking the Japanese ship and tried to contact us. We ordered a telegram stating our identities and avoiding misunderstandings. ”

Not only Xie Xuehong, but also several other leaders of the Taiwan Communist Party were also very surprised, these Northeast Coalition Forces not only have submarines, but can also communicate with American submarines. Not only can they all enter and leave Taiwan, but they can also take the initiative to attack Japanese ships. Why are they so powerful? It's subversive.

The next way, there was nothing thrilling, the oil ship was huge, and although there was the smell of oil, the cabin was spacious. It was smooth when passing through the sea off Hangzhou Bay. When we passed through the sea off the coast of Shanghai, there were more ships on the sea. The fleet specially waited for several hours, took advantage of the darkness to pass by, and arrived at the sea off the coast of northern Jiangsu. After that, the route was familiar, and they were also looking for supplies on a small island in Shandong.

Along the way, Xiaolu worked with several leaders of the Taiwan Communist Party and introduced them to all the things that had happened in recent years. He hopes it's shock education.

There were some books from Yan'an on the submarine, borrowed from Xiaolu and shown to them. By the time the ship sailed to Dalian, the mental outlook of several people had changed dramatically. By the time they saw the land on the horizon and the busy port of Dalian in the distance, they were already confident of defeating the Japanese.
