Four transport planes flew over the pitch-black sea, and the planes soared through the air for an hour. In the cabin of the transport plane at the front, Captain Li Dabao glanced at his watch with a stern expression and said: "There are still 10 minutes to arrive at the parachute diving sea area and check the equipment respectively, especially the launch crossbow." "Firing a crossbow is an important part, it is a sharp weapon to ensure a smooth landing on an enemy ship." Report to the captain that the inspection is complete, please instruct! "Get ready for a skydive!" "Yes!" A few minutes later, the red light on the bulkhead began to flash, the door of the cabin to the nose cockpit opened, and the co-pilot and navigator came out to report: Arrived at the parachute diving area, the altitude is 300 customs level 2, and it is possible to skydive.

Li Dabao stood on the side of the cabin door and opened the door vigorously, and a strong wind blew in. "Remember the essentials, jump!" The first soldier leaps out of the cabin door. The soldiers lined up and left very calmly and swiftly. After the last soldier left the cabin, Li Dabao waved his hand to the co-pilot and jumped out of the cabin. The co-pilot closed the hatch, then opened the aft cargo door and pushed out several packages of inflatable boats in which the soldiers were riding. An hour later, the team gathered in the sea and rowed northwest in an inflatable boat.

The sea area where they landed was southeast of Sanya Military Port, about 15 nautical miles away from Sanya, and the distance would not be a problem if it was accurately calculated. Sanya is located in the northern hemisphere, and the end of December is the shortest day season. It was about 6 o'clock and there was a slight sound of paddling on the pitch-black sea. The soldiers paddled about 5 nautical miles in the sea before they saw the lights on the pier. At about 8:30 a.m., the naked eye saw three Japanese destroyers anchored on the periphery. The Japanese destroyers were under control of their lights, and a dark shadow appeared in the night. Due to the brilliant lights on the pier, the arrangement of the Japanese fleet was unobstructed.

The four Japanese gunboats were the closest to the pier, and their guns were all pointed to the shore to prevent attacks from the shore in case of accidents. The flagship battleship Nagato was behind the gunboats, while the destroyers served as guards at the outermost level, tasked with preventing a sneak attack by enemy warships, especially attack submarines. The standard displacement of the three Japanese destroyers is 2,700 tons, the length of the ship is 134, 26 meters, the width of the ship is 11, 8, and the draft is 4, 11 meters. The speed is 33 knots, and the crew is 250 people. Shipboard weapon system: 4 Type 98 twin 3 and 9-inch anti-aircraft guns, and 1 984-inch 24-inch torpedo tube. 4 single-barreled anti-aircraft guns and 6 depth charge droppers.

Due to the relatively backward internal combustion engine technology of the Japanese army, it was still driven by a steam engine, and the fuel was heavy oil. The three destroyers were the Terutsuki, the Ryoksuki, and the Crescent. Among them, the destroyer Terutsuki was launched on December 21, 1941, the Leng Yue was launched on March 4, 1942, and the Crescent Moon was launched on June 29, 1942. It stands to reason that the Japanese army's upgraded destroyers should protect aircraft carrier warships, but with the continuous loss of Japanese naval aircraft carrier warships, the Japanese destroyers have to play other roles.

The special combat personnel rowed to the south side of the Japanese destroyer, and the formation was scattered. Visually measuring a distance of about 2 nautical miles, Li Dabao ordered all the team members to enter the water and abandon the inflatable kayak. Li Dabao led the 1st Squadron to target the enemy ships in the center, and the other two squadrons aimed at the two enemy ships on the left and right. In the dark, Li Dabao said to the three squadron leaders: "The distance between the Japanese destroyers and the Japanese battleships is about 200 meters, which is very beneficial for the ship-seizing operation. The distance between the Japanese destroyers was 100 meters, which was more advantageous for kicking ships. It's 9:10 a.m., and I'm asking for the action to start on time at 10 o'clock sharp. Be sure to control enemy ships by 11:30. As for the internal structure of the Japanese Akizuki-class destroyer, if you are all familiar with it, I will not repeat it and start to act. ”

On the destroyer Terutsuki located in the middle of the construction, the captain Saburo Hoshino sat in his rest cabin, leisurely drinking brandy. The Japanese naval officers were deeply influenced by Western thoughts, and most of the officers were Westernized, so their living habits were also Europeanized and Europeanized. After the fleet arrived in Sanya, Commander Ichiro Ozawa ordered the destroyers to act as perimeter guards, and their task was mainly to prevent a sneak attack by enemy submarines. Except for the sonar crews on the ship, who were on high alert, the other sailors basically entered a state of rest. Saburo Hoshino ordered all the sailors to take a break, and after the fleet set sail in the second half of the night, they had to keep their eyes peeled to ensure that the retreating soldiers reached the Philippines safely.

"Report to the captain, the sonar crews have not found any suspicious targets!" A subordinate reported. "Continue to be on high alert and report every hour!" Saburo Hoshino glanced at his watch and continued: "There are still 3 hours before the Zero Hour Fleet sets sail, and you should also seize the time to rest for two hours." After his subordinates were ordered to leave, Saburo Hoshino was still not sleepy. He poured another glass of brandy, trying to get some sleep from the alcohol stimulation. However, Saburo Hoshino never expected that a group of evil gods had quietly approached the battleship, and what awaited him was merciless killing.

Due to the high bow and low tail of the destroyer, the Japanese only arranged a mobile post on the foredeck. In fact, there is a lookout post on the mast, and the lookout post has a sentry on it only during the day or when the enemy is detected. With the continuous upgrading of the Japanese sonar system, the sentry posts on the mast are rarely used nowadays. The battleship was silent, and the waves crashed against the side of the ship with a rhythmic sound. At this time, the special operators quietly swam to the stern of the battleship. Li Dabao looked at the silent battleship deck, and his heart was happy.

When the time came, Li Dabao ordered the action to begin. On the aft deck, about 3 meters above the sea, a member of the team fires a crossbow gun with a barb on the head of a rope hooked to the railing. Then a member of the team climbed to the deck with a rope on his back, and after the team member climbed onto the deck, he listened attentively for a few seconds, and then lowered the two ropes with a quick movement. Li Dabao's naval special operations group numbered 300 people, each squadron numbered 100 people, and the three squadrons were aimed at three warships.

The first two members of the team to climb the deck did not stop at all, and quickly reached for the bow of the ship. The team members quietly climbed to the deck, and the team members who went up were clear about their tasks, and they had to control the deck quickly without a single mistake.

When Li Dabao climbed onto the deck, the operation to control the deck had ended. A squadron leader reported: "Report, deck sentry killed. One of the officers on duty in the command cabin was killed, and the 3 exit hatches were controlled, judging that the Japanese sailors were resting. "Very well, each of the three hatches is guarded by two team members, and the others are all in the cabin. Remember to move fast, leave no one alive, and get started. "Yes!" After Li Dabao gave the order, he raised his binoculars and looked at the destroyer on the left. The wait seemed unusually long, and after about 5 minutes, a flashlight signal came from the opposite battleship deck, indicating that the eastern battleship deck had been controlled. "Report to the captain, a signal is coming from the deck of the battleship on the west side." In the dark, a subordinate excitedly reported. Li Dabao let out a long breath and walked towards the command tower cabin.

The captain of the ship, Saburo Hoshino, drank three glasses of brandy in a row and still did not feel sleepy. Usually drink two glasses of brandy and you can sleep peacefully, why are you so excited today? He was a little baffled. Lying in bed and forcing myself to sleep, but tossing and turning became more and more energetic. Hoshino Saburo simply got up, and at this time there was a sound of running in the corridor, and Hoshino Saburo was very dissatisfied. At this time, there were people who disobeyed the order and did not rest. However, Saburo Hoshino had no idea that at this moment, the attackers had already entered the cabin and were killing ferociously.

He glanced down at his watch, where the hour and minute hands pointed to 10:20. Suddenly, the door was slammed open, revealing a black figure, and Saburo Hoshino saw a hideous face, a black hole in the barrel of a gun.

Before Saburo Hoshino could react, a rain of bullets swept towards him. Saburo Hoshino's chest was beaten into a sieve, and he opened his mouth wide to shout out. But his consciousness quickly drifted away from his brain, and his body instinctively struggled to stand, and then fell to the ground with a thud. There is no need to repeat the battle in the cabin, most of the Japanese soldiers were resting, and some went to see Amaterasu in their sleep.

At 11:05, the squadron leader came to the command cabin and said, "Report to the captain, the battle went well, the battleship was controlled, and all 250 Japanese officers and men were killed, and none of them survived." "Very good, close mind the flagship of the Japanese army!" "Yes!" At 11:15, a signal came from the deck of the battleship on the east side that the battleship was controlled. At 11:25, a signal came from the battleship on the west side, and the battleship was controlled. Li Dabao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news.

The fact that the battle went so smoothly shows that the results of the training of the Navy's special operations group have been successfully tested. In addition, the vigilance and reaction ability of the Japanese sailors were far worse than those of the Japanese army soldiers. The navy is not an army, and the Japanese naval sailors were suddenly hit without any mental preparation. The point is that the attackers do not leave a mouth alive, and the sailors have no room for resistance at all. Moreover, there was no precedent for sneaking aboard an enemy warship to launch a surprise attack during World War II, which was the reason for the successful hunting of Japanese ships.

At 11:30, in the flagship command cabin, a communications officer reported with a telegram in his hand: "Report to the commander, the 137th Brigade is calling, the last group of retreating troops have arrived in the port, and they are stepping on the ship one after another." Ozawa Ichiro glanced at his watch and said, "Order all ships to enter and prepare for sailing!" ”

In the command cabin of the destroyer Zhaoyue, the squadron leader reported: "Captain, the Japanese flagship has sent a signal ordering us to prepare for sailing!" "Signal back, obey!" Soon, the iron anchor was hoisted from the sea, and the battleship began to start slowly. "Order, the crescent moon will open the way in front, the light moon will be in the center, and the Liangyue will form a column behind the palace and move forward at high speed in the northeast direction!"

The flagship of the Japanese army, a naval operations staff officer, was alert and said: "Commander, the destroyer that is on guard will leave the alert position and move east!" "Discover the Ship now, keep them on standby!" A few minutes later, an officer rushed in and said in a panic: "Commander, the destroyer does not return the signal, and does not pay attention to it at all." Ozawa Ichiro's face changed drastically and he roared, "Send a report immediately and ask what happened!" After saying that, he rushed out of the command cabin and held a telescope to check, and on the dark sea, the three destroyers were getting farther and farther away.

An ominous omen hit me, "Order the gunboats to pursue at full speed!" Ozawa Ichiro may be in a hurry, but his generals know that the gunboat is an old warship with a speed of only 28 knots, while the new destroyer can reach a speed of 33 knots. Even if both set sail at the same time, the destroyer would quickly leave the gunboat behind.

An hour later, the Japanese fleet appeared in the eastern seas. The gunboats searched repeatedly and did not find a shadow of the destroyer. "Report, the radio signal of the Terumoon ship was found, but the telegraph signal is the password of the Chinese army." A communications officer made an urgent report. "Commander, it has now been confirmed that 3 of our destroyers have been hijacked. Under our noses, silently hijacked, what kind of army is this, is it difficult to be the devil? With the accurate judgment of his subordinates, Ozawa Ichiro's face turned pale and ordered the fleet to retreat towards Manila at full speed.

Ozawa Ichiro did not expect that six months later, as a prisoner of war, he would see the captured destroyer and the person who successfully captured the battleship.

At the Guangzhou Airport camp, Ouyang Jian took the telegram and said calmly: "Brother Xue, we have succeeded!" Li Dabao led his subordinates to drive 3 warships and was on his way to Guangzhou! Xue Yue was overjoyed when he heard this, and instantly forgot his identity and hugged the newspaper operator beside him.
