Chapter 562 Distress
At 1 o'clock in the morning, two tugboats arrived at the narrow mouth of Shimonoseki and Kitakyushu. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 When Info set off from the Wuxian Shipyard, Jie Zhenbang instructed to send a report to the country to implement Plan B, and the domestic call agreed to implement Plan B, and then implemented radio silence. This means that they can enter the waters of the Tsushima Strait before the second reporting procedure can be initiated. At midnight, the rain subsided, and the journey went smoothly, and in another half an hour according to the formation, the mysterious fleet would leave the Seto Inland Sea and enter the Tsushima Strait.
The night was deep, most people had already fallen asleep, Jie Zhenbang was not sleepy, and seemed to be exceptionally awake. He knew in his heart that the calmer the moment, the danger might approach at any time, so he should not be careless. Next to the Japanese first mate meticulously steered the freighter and faithfully traveled his duties. At this moment, the Japanese first mate could not see Jie Zhenbang's nervous mood. Suddenly, lights appeared on the sea on the right. "Sir, it's a patrol gunboat!" Japan's chief mate has a wealth of experience.
"Is it a gunboat of the Japanese Navy?" "Sir, the lights of the Japanese Navy patrol gunboats are not so bright, they must be patrol gunboats of the US Navy!" The first mate of Japan is very sure. Jie Zhenbang pondered for a moment and was relieved that Japan had already declared defeat and that it was impossible to send patrol warships to cruise, and it was obvious that American warships had already appeared in Shimonoseki. Thinking of this, Jie Zhenbang's head was big, which he didn't expect.
Soon the patrol gunboat approached and called the lights. "What does the other party mean when the lantern is lit?" "Report, the other party told that it was a U.S. Navy patrol gunboat, and asked us to stop moving forward for inspection, otherwise we will attack!" "Stop!" After Jie Zhenbang gave the order, he then asked the Japanese first mate to shake the bell and notify the special combat team members who were resting in the cabin. After a while, the second team leader and several special combat team members entered the cab. "Captain, there's a situation!"
"An American patrol gunboat appeared in front of it and demanded that the inspection be stopped. It is estimated that there is a US fleet in Shimonoseki! "The U.S. military inspection was exposed, what should I do?" "There was no other way, I decided to seize the American gunboat. You go and find Wang Jingwei's guard captain, and we'll discuss it briefly. A few minutes later, the captain of the guard came to report for duty. There was no time to dwell on it, Jie Zhenbang succinctly announced the decision, and then ordered the members of Wang Jingwei's guard to be issued weapons.
The U.S. patrol gunboat is a Takama-class ship with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons and a crew of 102 people. Since the deck of the Tacoma gunboat was as high as that of a freighter, Jie Zhenbang judged that the US gunboat must have leaned over to board the ship for inspection, so he made the decision to hijack the US gunboat at the first opportunity. Sure enough, the American gunboat circled around the flotilla, confirmed that there were only two freighters and two behemoths with empty hulls, and immediately relaxed their vigilance.
Jie Zhenbang and his subordinates stood on the deck, the light shone on them and swayed, it turned out to be their own people. The American sailors let their guard down and defused the battle alarm, and the captain ordered the gunboat to move up. With a slight collision, the gunboat and the freighter leaned together. Under the illumination of the lights, the captain of the American ship boarded the freighter. Jie Zhenbang's military rank is colonel, and the military rank of US captain is major. "Report to Colonel, my subordinate is Major Robert, the captain of the 4th Squadron 056 gunboat, which part of you are from."
"Major Robert, we are a naval special operations unit, a Chinese detachment. My name is Jie Zhenbang, and I am ordered to carry out a special mission! "The Chinese detachment of the US Navy Special Forces can be described as famous and thunderous, and Robert has heard of it for a long time." It turned out to be Colonel's troops, so I'm very sorry for the faux pas! Yesterday evening, the 4th Squadron arrived at Shimonoseki, and our gunboats took up patrol duties. Colonel, our department has not received any orders, please cooperate! ”
"Alright! I got on the gunboat and sent a telegram to the Tokyo Command! "Please!" Robert was very polite. Jie Zhenbang and one of his subordinates, accompanied by Robert, boarded the gunboat and entered the cabin, and the American soldiers on the deck were even more relaxed. At this time, the leader of the second detachment waved his hand, and the special combat team members flew up and jumped onto the deck of the gunboat. In less than 5 minutes, the American sailors on the deck of the gunboat, including the gunners in the wheelhouse and running positions, were captured.
With such agile actions, Captain Wang Jing and his subordinates were stunned. "Sir, the special operations team is really a miracle soldier, and it is really extraordinary," the captain of the guard ascended to the deck and praised. "Now is not the time to tease, your people control the deck, the cockpit." After the second captain finished speaking, he led the people into the cabin. Robert accompanied Jie Zhenbang into the telegraph room, where there was a telegraph operator. Robert was about to command, a hard barrel against his waist.
When Robert was confused, the pistol at his waist was removed. At this point, the dispatcher opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to do. "Colonel, why is that?" "Colonel Robert, I am on an undercover mission on the orders of the Chinese High Command." "I see, two unfinished aircraft carrier warships, you intend to ship back to China. But do you think about the consequences when you do this? "Colonel Robert, I am a soldier, and it is my duty to carry out orders."
"Colonel Robert, since we have encountered it, we have to wronged you. Please give orders and cooperate with us. Rest assured, I won't hurt you! Robert knows what kind of unit the Chinese detachment of the US special operations unit is. He knew in his heart that the Chinese wanted Japanese aircraft carrier warships, and as long as they cooperated, there would be no danger. The next scenario was simple, the gunboat was controlled.
Just as Jie Zhenbang led his troops to carry out the operation, the Japanese captain Takeuchi and the first mate Kameda in the cockpit of the freighter witnessed what happened. "Kameda-kun, we were fooled, this US military unit was disguised by the Chinese, and the Americans did not know about it at all. If the Americans understand the situation, they will intercept it at sea and even send planes to bomb it, this is a point of no return! "Captain Takeuchi, these Chinese soldiers are masters, if we don't want to, we will die immediately without a place to bury."
Takeuchi sighed and said, "It's all my fault that I'm too greedy for money and hurt you!" "Captain Takeuchi, I have a solution." "No, if they find out, they'll kill you immediately!" "Captain Takeuchi, I've always wanted to repay you, fulfill me!" "Alright! Our lives are hanging by a thread, Kameda-kun, please please! Half an hour later, the flotilla continued on its way, and the US 056 gunboat was caught in the middle.
At about 5 o'clock in the morning, General MacArthur, commander of the US forces in the Pacific Theater of Operations at the US military headquarters in Tokyo, was awakened by his subordinates. General MacArthur, who led the Theater Command, had arrived in Tokyo Bay the day before aboard the battleship USS Missouri. On that day, MacArthur accepted the surrender of the Japanese base camp in Tokyo as an occupier, and received many Japanese dignitaries. MacArthur was in the limelight, and he was so excited that he didn't go to bed until late at night.
At this time, MacArthur was obviously sleep-deprived and said with some dissatisfaction: "What happened? "Report to the general, the 2nd Squadron arrived at the Wuxian Shipyard at 1 o'clock in the morning. Linchen 2 received a report from the 2nd Squadron that two unfinished aircraft carrier warships at the Wuxian Shipyard were missing. The preliminary investigation revealed that a U.S. military contingent towed away two aircraft carriers. After repeated inquiries, an advance detachment of the navy's special operations unit was operating in that area, and this advance detachment was a Chinese detachment. The stakes were so high that I had to report it to the commander. “
"This must be a planned action by the Chinese side, and the means are too despicable. Immediately blockade the Seto Inland Sea and dispatch reconnaissance planes to look for traces. "Two hours have passed, and the reconnaissance plane has not found any clues." "Report, Navy report, Shimonoseki 4th Squadron 056 gunboat missing, missing." Hearing this, Mark Arthur hurried to the map. "There is no doubt that the 056 gunboat was hijacked. This Chinese special operations detachment is fully capable of this. ”
"General, it seems that the Chinese fleet has crossed Shimonoseki, entered the Tsushima Strait, and then returned home along the western side of the Korean Peninsula!" "It's well planned, but whether we can go back or not, we have the final say. Since the Chinese don't say hello, let's take a break for a while. Order the bomber group to immediately go to Pusan and Seoul, and be sure to destroy the aircraft carrier battleship at sea. MacArthur smiled contemptuously, as if he had a chance of victory.
At this time, in the headquarters of the Shandong Column in Qingdao, China, several high-power radio stations were ticking non-stop. Ouyang Jian stood in front of the window and waited anxiously, "Chief of General Staff, it's 7:40 a.m., and 10 minutes have passed since the signal was received at the specified time, but no signal has been received!" "Keep in touch!" Originally, the Sakura plan was uncertain, but Ouyang Jian had to take a gamble, and at this time, an ominous premonition rose in his heart.
Ouyang Jian knew very well in his heart that once the Americans figured out the route back to China, they would not be able to come back at all. Next, the Americans will not hesitate to sink the aircraft carrier battleship in the sea, the key is that Jie Zhenbang's special combat team will also be buried in the sea, thinking of this, Ouyang Jian felt a pain in his heart and could only pray silently.
