Chapter 372: A Great Harvest

Ingersoll, the young captain of the Millis, looked at the two destroyers that had been sunk, and finally began to panic, maybe he should not have returned to the fleet in the first place, and the Chinese planes in the sky circled and dived, as if they were going to drop bombs on Millis's head in the next moment.

"Captain, order to turn around and leave immediately, or none of us will want to live!" The middle-aged first mate excitedly shouted to Ingersoll, all the rich experience accumulated in his years of sailor career is useless here, the first mate has no concept of suffering from air strikes, there are no other examples for reference, and now the only thing he can think of is to leave this damn sea!

Ingersoll did not listen to the advice of the first mate, and his later decision saved the lives of the entire ship. Speed is the life of a destroyer, but it is not worth mentioning in the face of the speed of the aircraft of several hundred kilometers per hour, even if it does not return to the fleet before, it will be caught up by the Chinese military aircraft that have completed the mission, and it is still a dead end, not to mention that it is now close to the Chinese military aircraft. Ingersoll ordered the white flag to be raised, and almost at the same time, the captain of the escort fleet, the cruiser, also ordered the fleet to surrender.

With the sunken destroyers as a demonstration, all the remaining twenty-seven transport ships were flown with white flags, and the American transport fleet surrendered.

Later, the Chinese Navy, which was waiting to be received by the warships of the Chinese sabotage fleet, saw an astonishing scene, 27 transport ships were neatly arranged on the sea, and they were slowly moving at the lowest speed under the gaze of four planes in the air. The two U.S. warships were equally honest, with their muzzles low and white flags hoisted.

The two cruisers were on guard four thousand meters away, the two destroyers approached, and the sailors with individual weapons first boarded the two American warships, took control of the crews, and then sent the two captains and several senior officers to their ships. Subsequently, a large number of sailors boarded a large number of transport ships, and under the threat of guns, the crew of the transport ship did not make a little trouble, and followed the Chinese warship to join the sabotage fleet.

When the Chinese sailors boarded the ship carrying the US Army soldiers, they were so frightened by the scene in front of them that they did not dare to act rashly, and hundreds of tall American soldiers in khaki military uniforms stood on the deck, and countless eyes stared directly at the Chinese sailors who had just climbed onto the deck.

"I am Major General Edward, commander of the U.S. Army's 4th Division and deputy commander of the Hawaii garrison, and my men and I are willing to surrender to you and ask for humane treatment." Edward, who was standing at the forefront, was a little apprehensive like the Chinese sailors, although he was numerous, he was unarmed, not to mention the planes circling in the sky, the warships not far from the transport ships, and even the sailors armed with rifles and submachine guns could not deal with them.

This was not only the first surrender of the US Army in a formal manner, but also the largest surrender, and the entire Fourth Division of the Army, including 2,700 officers, all became prisoners of the Chinese Navy. If Edward had promised that his troops could impress the Chinese people on land, the 40 tanks, more than 300 artillery pieces, and countless machine guns, rifles, and ammunition carried by the other transport ships would have become the backbone of the defense of the Hawaiian Islands, but unfortunately all of them became the trophies of the Chinese.

So the situation is obvious, the transport ships carrying the army soldiers are not equipped with weapons and ammunition, the soldiers have no tools in their hands to resist, and a few pistols in the hands of the officers alone will not help. The most important thing is that once the soldiers on the transport ship resist, the Chinese warship will definitely sink the transport ship at the first time.

I knew that there would be loot, but I didn't expect the loot to be so abundant, and there were even more than 20,000 soldiers! Soon, a higher rank officer arrived at the transport ship and accepted the surrender of Rear Admiral Edward, who had put away Edward's richly decorated sword, which the Chinese officer intended to present to the President.

The commander of the U.S. convoy briefly radioed what had happened to Pearl Harbor before surrendering, and the commander of the garrison, Raymond, was struck by lightning, which was equivalent to the loss of Hawaii! After the shock and despair, Raymond has a job to deal with, and he must fight hard to continue his duty.

Half an hour later, the convoy sailing between the west coast of the mainland and Hawaii was warned by Hawaii, and without exception, all of them returned. In addition to the captured convoys, three large convoys set sail for Hawaii at this time, and the closest to the Hawaiian Islands was about 150 kilometers.

After the outbreak of the war, the Americans regarded Hawaii as a lifeline, as long as they could hold on here and block the advance of the Chinese army, the West Coast would be half safe. The United States can concentrate on accumulating strength, and it was only a month after the outbreak of the war that the US Congress passed a bill for the country to enter a wartime system, and countless orders were flown from the War Department and the Navy Department to various factories, and the military sent a large number of personnel into large factories and military industrial enterprises, and it was too late to evaluate and select existing weapons for large-scale industrial production in an emergency.

As a result, after the fall of Midway, the United States has stockpiled countless supplies in large ports such as San Francisco and San Diego on the West Coast, and a huge fleet of transport ships has also moved from the East Coast to the West Coast. In addition to reinforcing the defenses of the western coast of the homeland, all were shipped to the Hawaiian Islands.

The first wave of transport convoys intercepted by the sabotage fleet was the first large-scale transportation by the Americans, and the second wave of convoys immediately turned around when they got the news, not knowing that their positions had been locked by the sabotage fleet.

The maximum detection range of the long-range early warning radar installed on the Daqin battle patrol is more than 300 kilometers, and this kind of technical equipment is not yet known to the world. Subject to the relative lack of production technology, the performance of the radar has not been fully reflected, the manufacture of a mechanical equipment needs to master its technology, the need for rigorous and mature production technology, the need for skilled skilled workers, China's large-scale industrial production has made good achievements, but in some details still need to be supplemented. The increase in the industry has made the supply of genetic people in short supply, and Lu Liang is also diluting the role of genetic people to the greatest extent, after all, the real human being is the cornerstone of the nation.

The work of the sabotage fleet was so simple that all the officers and men felt sorry for the salary and subsidies they received, and after the American transport fleet was determined, things became very regular, and the Bai Qi dispatched twenty planes, and the transport fleet did not hesitate to surrender immediately after discovering the Chinese planes, and the destroyer detachment accelerated to receive the trophies.

The timing of the appearance of the raid fleet is really just right, and the degree of coincidence will make people think that there is some kind of tacit understanding between the Chinese and the Americans, and the transport fleet on this side has just set off, and the fleet is ready to intercept it. Of course, the US intelligence services after that would not believe that this was a coincidence, preferring to believe that there were spies on their side. A large-scale investigation ensued, and it was frustrating that there were less than 100 Chinese in the entire United States, and all of them were diplomats protected by the laws of war, and they stayed in the embassy and were strictly monitored by the intelligence services, and it was impossible to get the exact time of departure of the convoy.

Angry that Hua Guo had been premeditated for a long time, the intelligence department returned empty-handed, and in the end did not find a channel for the leakage of information. They didn't know that there were a large number of genetically human agents with Western appearances in the United States, all over the world, lurking at their destination many years ago with forged documents and proper excuses, rising to their desired position through various channels, and then easily obtaining information. In particular, on the west coast of the San Francisco consortium's base camp, it is one of the areas with the highest concentration of Chinese spies, and they collect American industrial, agricultural, military, and political intelligence, and can even influence public opinion in the United States to a certain extent. President Taft must not have imagined that the San Francisco consortium that controls the United States behind the scenes, and the San Francisco consortium that supports Taft behind the scenes, is actually the property of the President of China!

It is difficult for the yellow race to gather intelligence in the United States, especially after the general return of the Chinese, if it is the same white country, traces of the departure of the American convoy can be found from many places. For example, in this case, dock workers need to carry the ship's dock work, replenish supplies, replenish fuel, remove debris attached to the bottom of the ship, etc., and countless people are involved in any direction, as long as a worker with a big mouth or an officer who drinks too much in a bar, he can leak extremely important information.

The spoils of the raid fleet in the second wave of transports were even more abundant, with a total of 40 transports and three escort warships captured. However, this was the last capture of the sabotage fleet during this period, and the other American fleets that received the news were too far away to return to the port of departure safely, and the Americans did not send a transport fleet to Hawaii until they came up with a better way to deal with the Chinese fleet.

The Chinese destroyers surrounded the booty and sailed back east of Hawaii to the point of departure. When the Chinese Navy fleet returned to port with 67 transport ships, the entire port of Midway was boiling, with a full 110 American M1 tanks, 340 guns of various calibers, 800,000 rounds of ammunition, and 300 million rounds7. With 7 mm machine gun bullets, 75 P02 fighters and 30,000 tons of gasoline, this strangulation mission was enough to cut off the Hawaiian defenders. (To be continued.) )
