PS: Haha! It's the beginning of a new month! Let's keep flying!

From the top of the bridge of the "Dongsheng" attack cargo ship, you can faintly see flickering lights at the end of the dark sea. Through the guò radar detection, the distance between each other should be about twenty-five kilometers.

Yang Hao is also a little experienced now, so he observed for a while to make sure that those ships were indeed heading this way. In the northern waters of the Yellow Sea now, there is no one else who dares to act so blatantly, but the Japanese army.

"It's strange, how could they be so accurate?"

Putting down the binoculars, Yang Hao was a little difficult to understand. Because he knew that Yang Haiwei led the fleet out, and in order to hide his tracks, he turned on radar scanning and avoided ships from various countries. In addition, if you try to start the steam engine as much as possible or not, and only use the diesel engine to drive, the black smoke is very small, and it will disperse a little farther away, which is difficult to detect.

Yang Haiwei said: "You have been making trouble on land for so long, which is enough for them to send the news back to Seoul and inform the Japanese army." As long as they follow the Datong River port all the way to the north, they will always be able to find us. Moreover, they also had to come to encircle the Beiyang Fleet, just by the way. ”

"Containment? How did they know that the Beiyang Fleet was dispatched? I wrote a letter from the defenders of Dagushan to Fengsheng Ana, and intercepted it halfway. ”

Historically, because of the discovery of this letter, the Japanese army was allowed to determine the exact location of the Beiyang Naval Division, so as to quickly search for their whereabouts from the waters of Dadonggou and seize the combat opportunity.

Yang Hao blocked the Japanese army in Dongxianling and Huangzhou for so long in order to delay their attack, and by the way, he also contacted the gunboats at sea to intercept the letter from the civilian ships. But I didn't expect that the Japanese should know what they should know.

Yang Haiwei said indifferently: "The Japanese army does not rely on this source alone. There are British people to help them look at it. Weihaiwei is such a big place. It's easy to be seen if you move a little. We also don't know how deep the intelligence penetration of the Japanese is. ”

"That's a ......."

Yang Hao really can't say. What kind of Cheng dù is used in Japanese kung fu? In the next half century, they tirelessly sought to train students studying in Japan into pro-Japanese factions, and those who were easy to regulate were brainwashed, and those who were too smart were scourged.

Until the last 50 years of the 20th century, their residual poison was deeply poisoning China's body and affecting the thinking of several generations. Whether it was the self-righteous bureaucrats and scholars before the big convulsions, or the first batch of elites who were keen to introduce Japan's "advanced ideas" after the reform. The Japanese imprint in its bones is too deep.

Even the entire academic community, the cultural community, does not know how many people are talking nonsense because of their influence, misleading the next generation, disrupting the audio-visual, and confusing the public.

Although that group has not yet appeared, Yang Hao has also been guarding against it. What is he tossing and turning for? Isn't it as much as possible to cut off the effects of the aftermath at the source? Looking at it now, he is still too optimistic.

There were four signals that appeared on the radar screen, indicating that four Japanese ships were approaching. Look at their speed, keep it around 14 knots. Not fast or slow, but it is enough to deal with the ships of this era.

Yang Hao looked at his own fleet again. The speed is not slower than the other party, especially the "Dongsheng", which only uses two diesel engines with a total of 4800 horsepower to work, which is smooth and brisk, and it is not difficult at all.

Fortunately, it seems that it will not be caught up by the Japanese army.

He breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his sour eyes vigorously, took a deep breath of cool breeze to stimulate his tired nerves, and said worriedly: "If Little Japan is in hot pursuit, can we get rid of him?" ”

Yang Haiwei shook his head: "It's a little difficult." But I'm going to give them the yin. If these four Japanese ships can be allowed to speed up the pursuit, let the rest of the rear ships of the group widen the distance, and then bring them into the ambush of the Beiyang Fleet, maybe he will suffer a big loss! ”

Yang Hao's spirits perked up: "This method is good." But can they take the bait? He suffered such a big loss last time, he must be vigilant this time, right? ”

Yang Haiwei sneered: "If the Japanese know their mistakes and can change them, they won't let people call them elm heads." Anyway, it doesn't hurt us, give it a try. ”

The sea area where the fleet is located is only a hundred kilometers away from Olushima, where the Beiyang Fleet may be located, which can be said to be quite close. The matter is heavy, no matter how tired Yang Hao is, he has to resist, and after changing to a gunboat, he rushes over there at a speed of thirty knots. Yang Haiwei took the "Dongsheng" and the remaining four speedboats to continue to lure the Japanese army around the sea in a circle, and slowly approached the waters of Dadonggou.

Although it is only a 200-ton dinghy, there are quite a few radar sonars. There is also a new 76mm gun in the bow, although it is far less advanced than the AK176, and can only be reloaded manually, but the maximum rate of fire of 25 rounds per minute and the range of more than 13 kilometers are at the level of super machine guns for modern ships.

Two newer, high-power diesel engines made a piercing high-speed sound, and the water splashed behind them gurgled white. After the speed soared, the hull of the ship sped like a flight on the choppy sea, heading straight for the north.

The radars of the "Dongming" and X201 have been detected before, and the Beiyang Fleet is not yet visible on the side of Okashima. Now the radar of this X203 boat is temporarily civilian-grade, and it also has a detection range of 96 nautical miles, so it is not afraid of not finding the target.

Captain Sù paid attention to the radar search of Shoulong Island and Changshan Islands, and Yang Hao ignored the noise and turbulence, ran to the captain's room to squint for a while. It's been a tiring few days.

In the rear, more than 20 kilometers away from the flotilla, the No. 1 Guerrilla Force, headed by the "Yoshino," was constantly speeding up and catching up.

Tsuboi Kozo's gritted teeth scared the captain Kawara. He had to remind: "Major General! We're too fast, and the team won't be able to keep up. Also, are you sure there's the ghost fleet ahead? ”

Pingjing Hangsan's eyes lit up, and he snorted with his eyebrows: "Don't worry about this team." Didn't someone already send them to inform them and get something in return? In short, you can't go wrong by following our track. Now the task is to catch the damn guys in front of you! You should know how important their equipment and intelligence are to the Empire! ”

Kawahara nodded cautiously, but the gloom on his face did not disappear.

Only after suffering a loss do you know the danger. This is for the Japanese Navy. It is an unforgettable lesson.

After the defeat in the last operation. The Navy has been conducting a profound review for a long time. They carefully analyzed all the mistakes in the battle, and finally came to an incredible conclusion - they actually lost to a combination of an armed cargo ship and a ghost ship!

The mobile artillery battle of the "Dongming" was the culprit behind the sinking of the "Naniwa" and "Gao Qiansui".

The unknown ghost ship is the main force that casts mines to hinder the pursuit of the team. With just the right amount of interference, the combined fleet was disconnected, the main and secondary forces were out of control, and then they failed miserably.

Also attracting their attention was the discovery of the power and weapons of the two ships.

A freighter can be nimble like a cruiser. And the artillery it is equipped with has never been farther than ever before! Its penetrating power cannot even withstand the armor of "Nanisu". That's a blow at a distance of 10 kilometers! If you push to three or five thousand meters, God knows how much damage it will do?

Tong guò British they also figured it out, its caliber is at best 6 inches. Then it means that it must be a new artillery technology, coupled with its terrible precision marksmanship, the British are extremely interested!

It's just that the British haven't found Yang Hao these days, and they haven't found the opportunity to create an "accident" to find fault and board the "Dongming". They are still doing it, just like other countries.

If only the Japanese Navy could get its hands on key technologies. What a huge boost it will bring!

Thinking of the invincible majesty of the Japanese battleship after changing to such a fast gun, Tsuboi Kozo couldn't help but feel a burst of enthusiasm. This is much more valuable than simply winning a naval battle. Many of his advanced theories and tactics are to be realized by relying on such equipment!

In this sortie, there were always more than two communication speedboats running back and forth between the first guerrilla unit and the main unit to ensure contact. Kozo Tsuboi, who was greatly relieved by this result, put all his attention on the fleet in front.

Yang Haiwei kept a close eye on the movements of the Japanese ship, slowly slowing down its speed and letting it chase within 20 kilometers. Then, he always maintained a posture of imminent departure, started a steam engine, deliberately made black smoke billow, and ran with all his might.

At this time, the speed of the "Dongsheng" has been increased to about 16.5 knots, which is basically consistent with the table Xiàn of the "Dongming" last round.

The shape of the two boats is too similar, except for the slightly larger size, and the blurry image from a distance is almost the same. He was sure that the Japanese would not be able to react for a while, and deliberately misled him, and he could fool as long as he could.

In addition, at such a speed, the main team in the rear will definitely not be able to catch up. They were mixed with such old ships as "Fuso" and "Hiei", and the average speed could only be maintained at 10 knots. If you want to go faster, you will have to leave behind the two old ships, or change the formation with the auxiliary fleet.

Another intention was to toss the boilers and main engines of the Japanese ships at high speeds.

The boilers of 19th-century steam ships deteriorated rapidly, and almost every decade they had to be overhauled or replaced altogether. For example, the battleships of the Beiyang Naval Division, even the shells began to rust, and the boilers were about to reach the limit of scrapping. So much so that when they traveled in a fleet, they could only maintain an average "amazing" speed of seven knots. When fighting, being able to fight to a constant speed of ten knots is considered to be extraordinary.

On the other hand, the Japanese warships, not counting the seven newly purchased, the two oldest "Naniwa" and "Takachiho" were killed last time, and most of the remaining launches were about five years, and the speed dropped by one or two knots at best.

Excluding the "Fuso", "Hiei" and the subsidiary fleet, the overall performance of the rest of the warships of this team is good. But to say that they can't stand running at a speed of more than 15 knots for a day in a row!

Yang Haiwei is not worried about this. His boats are all steaming and firewood, and there is no problem with the rotation of the two engines. In addition, they are all machines that have just entered the smooth operation, and they are leading in the front, so they are not afraid of damage at all.

If you take these grandsons for a good walk before meeting with the Beiyang Fleet, you may be able to help relieve some of the pressure at that time. (To be continued......)
