Chapter 13: Entering Yokosuka
Updated: 202-0-22
On July 4, 2695 (54 AD), on the evening of the 10th day of the sixth lunar month, the sea from Sagami Bay to the mouth of Edo Bay in Japan was filled with thick fog.
Outside the Miura Peninsula, there was a faint white veil floating on the surface of the sea in the Jonoshima Sea, and the dark clouds in the sky were very low, and the surrounding area was white. The Prince anchored quietly, four unlucky fishing boats tethered to the stern of the ship creaking with the waves, and flocks of seabirds tumbling up and down the boats.
One by one, the team members squatted on the deck to eat. Nearly 900 nautical miles from Akeko Island to Yokosuka, the Prince experienced three days and two nights of continuous sailing, during which it also experienced the test of wind and waves, and everyone was a little tired. Now that they have reached a place where the shallow sea is calm, they can finally rest and relax.
Shui Wuxian sat on the deck against the wall of the bridge, he quickly finished dinner, put down the plate in his hand, and stood up. "Everyone eats slowly, and if you can sleep after eating, you can sleep for a while. It was still early, so when it was completely dark, we entered Edo Bay. ”
Tan Ke asked while eating, "Why do we have to wait until it gets dark, who are we afraid of when we go in now?" ”
"To enter Yokosuka, it was necessary to pass through the Uraga waterway, and the Japanese built many forts on both sides of the waterway. The Yankees have already broken into Yokosuka twice last year and this year, and the little devils are definitely all the grass and trees now. We must be extra careful until we have acquired a weapon. ”
Shao Bei shook his head and walked out of the freezer cabin of the Prince, Shao Bei is a native of Heilongjiang, 27 years old this year, proficient in four foreign languages: English, Japanese, Russian and French.
The Prince was originally an ocean-going fishing vessel, and its freezer cabin was its standard. When Wang Tiezhu bought the ship, he refurbished the shipyard, banned the refrigeration system, installed a main engine, and the rebuilt refrigerated cabin is now a cargo hold and a place for prisoners. There are now more than a dozen Japanese fishermen in the hold, and these fishermen are the owners of the four fishing boats.
For the sake of secrecy, the Prince has been sailing far off the coastline of the island of Japan, avoiding the many Japanese fishing boats. Entering the waters off Jonoshima near Edo Bay, the Prince seized all the fishing boats it encountered.
"Captain, these fishermen are all fishermen from Misaki Port at the southern tip of the Miura Peninsula, and they don't know anything about the situation in Yokosuka." Shao Bei reported to Wang Tiehammer in the cab.
"Forget it, Shao Bei, hurry up and go to dinner." Wang Tiehammer waved his hand. "At the time of the Black Ship Incident, the American devils drew a lot of charts of Edo Bay, and the contents were very detailed, and Qian Shui Tingquan found them for us, so we relied on these charts to enter Yokosuka. However, these fishermen are quite sturdy, but unfortunately the Prince's loading capacity is too small. ”
Zhang Xin, who was checking the sea situation on the radar, hurriedly turned his head: "Captain, kill them?" ”
"Treat them to a sea dumplings." Wang Tiezhu said lightly, "We are the army of the Celestial Empire, the army of benevolence and righteousness, and it is also our duty to care for the Japanese people." It's a pity that they encountered wind and waves, and we couldn't save them. Leave this matter to Shui Wuxi, you let him be clean and tidy, and don't leave any traces. ”
Zhang Xin pursed his lips and said nothing, handed over the radar to Mao Changyi, and walked out of the cab.
At 7 p.m. Tokyo time, the night was already thick and rain began to fall in the sky.
Wang Tiehammer sat calmly on the chair, "Anchor, course 00, two cars into three." ”
"Anchor, course 00, two cars into three." Zhang Xin recounted Wang Tiehammer's instructions while steering the wheel.
"The order is to enter the three-level combat deployment, and the lights of the whole ship are controlled."
Mao Changyi turned on the navigation lights, turned off the headlights in the cab, and continued to sit in front of the radar, carefully watching the slightest movement around him. The Prince dragged a long trail towards Edo Bay. The rain began to fall heavily, and large raindrops continued to hit the porthole of the bridge, Wang Tiehammer lay on the bridge, and under the desk lamp, he continued to make marks on the chart according to the data reported by Mao Changyi, next to the five-year Edo Bay chart drawn by the American Perry.
At 7:40 a.m., Mao Changyi reported that the Prince would enter the Uraga waterway in Edo Bay ten minutes later.
"Two vehicles into two, narrow channel navigation deployment, marines strengthen maritime lookout and observation"
The Uraga waterway was dark and dreary, and through the thick rain curtain, the port of Uraga in the distance could only be faintly lit to the hazy lights, and the forts built by the little devils on both sides of the waterway to defend the Europeans were only a vague shadow on this obscure rainy night.
The Puga waterway in the current time and space is very easy to walk, and the little devils have not yet started to build sea forts in the entire waterway for the so-called safety, and make Z-shaped waterways. The Prince split through the rain and fog and sailed straight northwest, the propeller stirring up a long wave.
The sound of the motor coming from the closed cabin was very dull on the rainy and misty sea, and the sound of the motor was completely drowned out by the roar of the rain, the howling of the sea breeze, and the roar of the waves crashing against the shore. Only the people standing on the shore in the rain could faintly hear the sound of some horns.
At 8:30, Mao Changyi reported, "Captain, our ship is one nautical mile away from Guanyinqi, and it is now located directly east of Guanyinqi. ”
Wang Tiehammer turned his head to look at the radar screen, the ship was already at the same latitude as Guanyinqi, he raised the telescope probe and looked in the direction of Guanyinqi, Guanyinqi in the rain was dark and dreary, and the Guanyinqi lighthouse in the original time and space had not yet been built.
Sending the telescope in his hand, Wang Tiehammer immediately ordered, "Right rudder 0, course 290." ”
On the black sea, the Prince pulled an arc and sailed in the direction of Yokosuka.
At 8:55 a.m., the Prince entered Yokosuka Bay and slowly slowed down. Today, Yokosuka is still a small fishing village in Japan, and the islands and reefs on both sides of the Yokosuka Sea are like giant turtles sticking out of the sea, guarding Yokosuka Bay.
"That's right, this is it!"
Wang Tieshu took a map of Yokosuka Bay from the original time and space and the graphics displayed on the radar screen and repeatedly compared it, and made a judgment. The water on the side was traceless, and Fu Baichen nodded in agreement.
This map of Yokosuka Bay shows a point, which is the location of the Yokosuka Arsenal, where the North American rudder received information from the U.S. forces in Japan. Wang Tiehammer and others have already checked it many times on Google Maps.
At 9:20 a.m., the Prince slowly approached the northern shore of Yokosuka Bay and stopped in a small bay, which was the point on the map.
There is a hill around the bay, and at the foot of the mountain live three families of Nakaji, Eda, and Shirashima, all of whom make a living from fishing. On rainy nights, the fishermen had nothing to do, and several families fell asleep early.
The thatched house of the second middle school is the southernmost, and although the fog is heavy today, he is full of warehouses. Sending the fish to the fish shop, the second secondary got some extra money today, and drank two more glasses of sake in the evening.
The second secondary who had drunk was a little excited, so he blew out the lights early and drove his two children aside to sleep. As soon as the second middle school lay down, he couldn't wait to pull his wife Liangzi to work repeatedly on the tatami mat. After tossing for a long time, the second middle school, who was as strong as an ox, was finally tired, and he was about to fall asleep in a daze, when he faintly heard the sound of the machine.
Secondary 2 woke up suddenly, what kind of movement is this? He was a little strange, it felt a bit like the movement of American steamships some time ago, but not as loud as the steamers.
Zhong Er kicked his wife Liangzi out of bed, and Liangzi opened the door and probed a few times, "There is no movement?" "Lie down and go to sleep.
"Yaga!" The second middle school was very unhappy, the sound of the machine in the distance was still ringing, how could it be nothing. Turning over and sitting up, the second middle school directly gave Liangzi a big mouth, and then hastily put on his clothes and went out with a hat.
The rain was still pouring outside, and there was no light in the bay, except for the sound of the wind and rain, and the sound of "tuk tuk". Secondary 2 listened carefully, and felt that the sound of "tuk tuk" was getting closer and clearer. He followed the direction of the sound, and a large black ship was slowly approaching the bay. Nakaji was startled, and he was about to open his mouth to scream, when an iron guy smashed on the back of his head, and he immediately fell.
Before the Prince entered the bay, Shui Wuxian took You Nanzhe, Shao Bei and other five people wearing P-standard raincoats and riding rubber boats, and quietly touched the shore.
"Captain, the bay has been cleaned up, there are three families in total, adults and children have been caught, and the rest of the houses are behind the hill. We measured it with a low-light telescope, and the nearest home is three miles away from the top of the mountain. Report complete. Shui Wuxian took the walkie-talkie and reported directly to the Wang Iron Hammer on the Prince.
"Very good, be on guard, stay safe."
