Fulongchang is one of the larger shipping companies in Tianjin, familiar people know that this company and one of the old Beiyang three heroes Wang Shizhen has some connections, headed by him after the old Beiyang was swept off the power have engaged in industry and commerce, especially after the "Cheng Cheng Act" land income plummeted, prompting the gentry to develop in the capital market, plus the aftermath of the European war has not completely subsided, national construction also continues to be hot, the market prospect is optimistic after can earn a lot, become a force to promote the development of the north.

Haizi No. 3 is a 4,600-ton offshore bulk carrier under the name of Fulongchang, which is an offshore ship developed and designed by Jiangnan Factory in 1917. Now it is hanging the national flag and the logo of Fulongchang Goods Company, riding the wind and waves to the east at full speed.

Nanzojiro's little eyes in the bridge glanced around, and these eyes had barely closed since he left Zhengzhou. Since China and Japan currently only have three navigation points, Lushun, Yantai, and Shanghai, Japanese ships cannot enter the Bohai Sea without authorization, so in order to transport back this batch of finished metallurgical materials, the Japanese Ministry of Intelligence bought this ship through various connections. It was an attempt, and if it went undetected, it would mean the opening of a secret shipping route from Siberia to the Far East, and if it failed, it would mean that it would have to be costly and risky to enter the Persian Gulf and even the Black Sea, the traditional territories of Britain and France, in order to continue to obtain much-needed strategic resources from the poor party. The latter road is not easy to follow, and it is likely to touch the interests of the allies, so the whole of Japan pays special attention to this transportation. In addition, all of them are made of tungsten and molybdenum, which are of great value, so the cruiser Kurama was specially sent to protect the high seas outside the Bohai Strait in the name of cruising North Korea.

"Look ahead is the Miaojima Islands!"

A string of pearl-like islands in front of him made Nobuta Oricho cry out with joy. Nanzojiro also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it, as long as he crossed the Miaodo Islands, even if he broke away from the inland sea and entered the Yellow Sea, although it was likely to be attacked by patrol ships in the direction of Lushun, the Haizi ship was a relatively fast freighter, and the Kurama Navy could break away after being entangled for a while, and no matter how bad it was, it could be transferred to Incheon Port and returned from North Korea.

The long journey, which took thousands of kilometers and took months, was about to come to an end, and everyone involved in the operation could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the 20-year-old Oricho Nobuta waved his fist vigorously to express his excitement. When he and his partner made a few jokes and looked ahead again, this glance was like an August day ice water hood face pouring down on him, and the two cold air in the center of his feet suddenly rushed to his brain!

"Patrol steamboat (speedboat) of the Shina Coast Guard!"

Next to the island, three Seagull-class speedboats modeled on LM speedboats suddenly rushed out from behind the island like elves. The offshore boat, which already has a modern shape, has been scaled up to 50 tons and mass production has begun, and the Navy alone has placed an order for nearly 100 torpedo-type boats. The National Guard even purchased 122 aircraft in one go for customs inspection and anti-smuggling recovery, and half of the 3,000 aero-engine trophies obtained after the victory in Europe were used to produce them and use them as engine spare parts.

The Coast Guard's speedboats had no torpedoes, not even rapid-fire guns, only a shielded M2HB 12.7mm fanged heavy machine gun. Because this machine gun was in the limelight in the European war, Britain, the United States and France alone placed orders for more than 20,000 units, but the end of the war led to savings in Europe and the United States. Rather than discount the deposit, the remaining half of the order was cancelled. In order to recover the losses of the enterprise, the Ministry of Defense bought all the 2,711 units that had been completed, so that this machine gun began to be equipped with troops in large quantities. As for Browning, who originally invented and designed it, he could only hide at home and draw circles to curse "piracy".

The anti-smuggling speedboat flying in the shape of a zigzag made Nanzojiro anxious, and it was obvious that he was prepared to see the other party go straight to him! Seeing that victory was in sight, no one was willing to give up at this time, so he gritted his teeth and asked, "How far is it?" ”

"25 nautical miles!"

"Send a telegram to the Kurama, be ready for us to rush over."

Minamizojiro's shouting. The Japanese sailors immediately took out their hidden rifles and other weapons and prepared to resist to the end, and even he himself clung to the revolver.

"Stop the boat, check." The speedboat approached quickly, in a large circle, and quickly approached in parallel. On deck, the sea guard tightened on to the railing to prevent the tide from falling. While shaking the suspension flag vigorously. But the shouts and the words of the flag did not stop the boat, but it was seen to turn its rudder and crash into the patrol boat at close range. This action frightened the guards and sailors on the patrol boat, and the deck was even more scolding and messy, but fortunately, the patrol speedboat was nimble, and quickly hit the rudder, pulling out a huge arc wave and quickly evading. After the distance was widened, the sailors finally settled down and realized that the information might be true, and there must be smuggling contraband on it, so they rolled up their sleeves and prepared to scold: "Avoid the bastard!" Machine guns, warning shots. ”。

I saw that the speedboat twisted the machine gun. Oricho Nobuta had just begun to get nervous, and a small column of water stirred up on the sea in the direction of the bow, followed by the sound of clattering shots. A speedboat approaching on the right opened warning fire, and a string of 12.7mm machine-gun bullets swept across the deck and landed in front, and the piercing sound of machine guns made Oricho Nobuta can't help but look at Minamizojiro. After all, he had only been a student in Russia before, and this time he joined the action purely out of the dream of building a strong empire. The first time he encountered such a scene made him very nervous. But Nanzojiro had experienced too much, and knew that it was almost impossible to sink a ship with a heavy machine gun, not to mention that it was only 25 nautical miles away from entering the public, and the cruiser must be coming, so he ordered to continue to move forward regardless of the threat, trying to break through the encirclement by relying on the ship, and asked the sailors to take out their hidden rifles to prevent the speedboat from approaching. Apparently enraged by the frenzied fleeing vessel, the Coast Guard sailors ordered the captain to turn their guns and strafe the bridge.

Nobuta Oricho and everyone were so frightened that they hurriedly squatted down, and the helmsman even squatted to control the ship and rushed towards the strait like a wounded beast. The three machine guns kept strafing the ship, although they hit a lot but did not have armor-piercing incendiary bombs, they were indeed a little powerless to deal with such targets, plus the boat was small and could not board the ship before the opponent stalled, and the above explained that the ship should be detained as much as possible, so it could only repeatedly pursue and strafe the upper layer with machine guns, hoping that the anti-personnel would force it to stop.

Even so, the bullets that rained like a torrential rain at close range still punched countless bullet holes in the superstructure of the Haizi No. 3 wheel, and the bullets hit the steel plate with a frightening sound. As soon as Oricho Nobuta mustered up the courage to pick up a rifle and prepare to resist the group to the end, a 12.7 bullet accurately hit the partner next to him. The bullet passed through the waist, and the force of the tear actually broke the body from here! Blood and intestines flowed all over the ground like uncontrollable water! The young Nobuta Ori was stunned, this scene was too exciting! He never thought that the real battlefield would be like this. So frightened that he hid in the corner with a gun and shivered, and he didn't even have the courage to look outside.

However, the casualties could not stop Nanzojiro, who was about to succeed, and commanded the cargo ship to rush left and right to rush to the open sea outside the strait, and time passed by minute by minute. A speedboat even rushed to the front and fired fiercely at the bridge. Just as the situation was getting worse and worse, a sailor suddenly shouted: "Look. Smoke billowed from the sea level, as if something was about to emerge from below, and a moment later the massive body of the Kurama cruiser leaped out of the sea. After seeing it, Nanzojiro and everyone all shouted excitedly, but as soon as the sound came out, they were crushed by the two destroyers that rushed out of the oblique stab!

"Shina destroyer!"

Two large destroyers of the First Fleet's Long Wind class suddenly plunged in from the right side, and with the speed of 30 knots, the bow split the wave and quickly rushed over. As an intelligence officer, Minamizojiro certainly knew this kind of cutting-edge destroyer that was launched only three years ago. With a standard displacement of 2,200 tons and three twin 12 mm naval guns, it is really not something that a small sea ship can stop. In front of them were two destroyers that could not escape at all, and there were three speedboats on the left and right in pursuit, and even if the north wind was blowing and Nan Shujiro was sweating profusely, he looked at the backward Kurama and the bridge full of bullet holes, and decided to use the last resort.

"Captain, they've raised the Japanese flag!"

Reminder from the Navigator. A Japanese flag was quickly raised on the Haizi No. 3 ship, and Minamizojiro tried to identify himself in this way, so that his opponent would not dare to open fire and take the opportunity to escape. But there was one thing he didn't expect. In fact, this game has long been mastered, so not only are the two Changfeng-class destroyers from the Second Fleet, but also the one standing in the bridge is Major Bingwen, who also served as the captain of the destroyer Beifeng after returning to Japan. Bingwen glanced at the raised Japanese flag, and sneered in his heart, he really underestimated himself if he wanted to ask for help in this way.

"The right rudder has a speed of 30 ° and 20 knots, maintaining the pressure of the boiler and allowing the Sea Breeze to move with our ship. Let the speedboat leave temporarily, the various gun emplacements ready for engagement, and the torpedoes ready. ”

In a low voice, the two Nagakaze-class destroyers quickly deflected their bows and blocked Minamizojiro's course with their steel bodies. At the same time, the six twin main guns also quickly locked onto the approaching Kurama cruiser. This series of provocative actions made the chasing Kurama bridge scold.

"Yaga! This is a provocation by the Navy of China! ”

"Your Excellency, you should attack immediately and rescue our ship."

The Japanese officers on the Kurama were excited, how could they have suffered such anger for more than 20 years! Actually blocked the passage of the ships of his own country by two destroyers much smaller than himself! But they completely forgot that at this time, Nanzojiro was still in China's territorial waters. And the ship was not registered in Japan. Captain Yoshioka Fanze also had a gloomy face, and he was so angry that he scolded in his heart. These Chinese really regard themselves as the bosses of the Far East, do they think they can defeat the Japanese Navy when they defeat a bunch of mud-legged stupid donkeys?

However, he was finally calmer than the officers, after all, Port Arthur was close at hand, and the other party's two Anhai-class battle cruisers were stationed here, and there were several cruisers to help, and the Kurama would definitely not be able to escape if it really fought. So he stopped the officer from shouting: "Send a signal to them, ahead of me the civilian ships of the Great Japanese Empire, and tell them to leave immediately." ”

"Captain, the Japanese cruiser wants us to release them. The freighter is still rushing this way, at a distance of 13,000 meters, and is expected to be in secondary range in 5 minutes. "The captain of the North Wind is also a cadet of the German Navy, who has experienced the Arctic Ocean and the journey around most of the world, not only has his navigation skills been tested, but he has also fully matured psychologically, but he is still a little nervous when he sees the Kurama, which is nearly eight times larger than himself, slowly erecting its muzzle. However, Bingwen, who had personally participated in the Battle of Jutland Ore and slowly escaped with the Sedlitz, had already entered a combat state, and some data on the Kurama quickly emerged.

Standard 14,600 tons, full load 15,500 tons, equipped with 2 twin L45 305mm main guns, 4 twin L45 203mm secondary guns, 12 single L40/120mm secondary guns, 4 single 76mm rapid-fire guns, and 3 457mm torpedo tubes in the bow. In terms of tonnage and firepower, the Changfeng-class destroyer is completely incomparable with it, and the main armor of the opponent's waterline is as thick as 178 mm, and the command tower is 228 mm. But as an armored cruiser of the older generation, there is a small dead end! That is the torpedo tube under the bow of the ship. Due to the problem of counterweight, and it is impossible to see clearly under water, no designer will only use thick armor in this position, and an armored cruiser like the Kurama is only 76mm at most. At this time, the launch tube should have been filled with live ammunition and entered the combat state, and its own L50 120mm naval gun has a good chance of piercing and detonating the torpedo with armor-piercing shells! Of course, it is still a little dangerous to get closer, after all, the main gun and the secondary gun are not a joke, one is enough to sink the destroyer.

Risky, dangerous, but if successful, the rewards are great! Because it's less than 40 kilometers from Lushun, as long as the boat is in the water, it doesn't want to leave. However, even if it can't be penetrated, with this kind of armored cruiser with a speed of only 22 knots, as long as it fires, it will definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of the two Anhai-class ships that have already raised fire and anchored and are waiting to attack, so he suddenly smiled and waved his hand very easily: "Send a signal!" Tell the Japanese that they have entered the territorial waters of our country and tell them to get out of here immediately! ”

"Fuck off? Captain, isn't it implicit? The navigator scratched his head.

Bingwen turned his head and smiled slightly: "When you provoke trouble, do you still have to politely say a word of invitation?" ”

The navigator stood up and saluted, holding his head high and repeating the order: "Yes!" Send a signal, you have invaded our territorial waters, slow down and get out of here, or you will be sunk! Repeat three times. ”

I don't care about you? Sunk!

signal, so that Yoshioka Fan Ce directly crooked his nose, and the Kurama was even more angry and the ship's guns spun in anger.
