Episode 134 Dadonggou Sea Encounter

Eleven hours later, at about 1 p.m. on the 29th, the destroyer sailed into the main port of the Dongjiang Fleet on Dachangshan Island. The docks were full of naval officers and men, and the two junior officers of the 6th Army who got off the ship were very eye-catching. If it was daytime, someone would have seen the difference in their badges. Both junior officers were from the People's Guard.

A major was waiting there for a long time, and after identifying each other, he let them into an officer's car and took them to the base for dinner. This naval major is from the intelligence department of the Dongjiang Fleet and belongs to the branch of the intelligence department of the General Staff of the Navy. He knew the mission of these two men. But he was surprised. Originally, this major felt that such an important mission as a military observer against Japan would have to be sent to a colonel-level officer. I am a colonel-level officer, and I arranged for myself to receive them, so I guess the other party's military rank should be the same. Now it seems that the People's Guard sent only a captain and a second lieutenant.

The captain was in his thirties, not striking-looking, with a dark face and a short build, exuding a cold air. The second lieutenant was much younger, only in his twenties, and he looked white and clean, a talent. However, he did not appear as experienced as the captain, perhaps because of his lower rank and age, and he still seemed a little frightened, for fear of messing up the errand.

The naval lieutenant sat in the co-pilot, looked at them in the rearview mirror for a while, and couldn't see anything special, and the interest dissipated.

……

After dinner, the two People's Guard officers rested at the base for the night, and early the next morning, they boarded another destroyer of the Dongjiang Fleet, the Jiaomujiao, sailed out of the main port, and sailed northeast along the coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula.

As soon as they left the port and sailed more than 10 nautical miles, a Japanese reconnaissance plane began to hover overhead. However, the Jiaomu Jiao ignored it, still spewing black smoke and sailing all the way to the northeast. The Japanese reconnaissance plane overhead stared at it so much that it circled and kept following.

An hour later, two Japanese destroyers appeared in the northeast direction. From a distance, the figure was a first-class destroyer, and it was making a pre-naval posture: changing course, seizing a favorable position, changing from the original head-on to being horizontal, and soon showing its long flanks, moving every main gun over, facing the Jiaomujiao.

The length of the two Japanese destroyers was one-third longer than that of the Kakumujiao, and the observers of the Kakumujiao recognized at a glance that both of them were of the Chaoshio class. This class of destroyers was just launched in 35 years, and it is the newest destroyer in the Japanese Navy, with the largest tonnage and the most powerful firepower, and it is the product of the Japanese Navy's pursuit of large tonnage and firepower. To exaggerate, it can be used for half a light cruiser. Each of them weighed more than 2,300 tons, twice the size of the Jiaomujiao. Moreover, the Jiaomu Jiao only has 3 5-inch main guns, while the Chaochao class on the opposite side has 6 5-inch main guns on each ship.

The current formation of the Japanese ships is the standard "T-shape". This favorable position has allowed the two Japanese ships to vacate all 12 main guns and aim at the Jiaomujiao. And because the Jiaomu Jiao is only facing the other party, it can only be used with the two main guns in front. Now, once the fight begins, the Hornwood Jiao will be engulfed in a column of water and fireballs in an instant.

The captain of the Kakumujiao was very nervous. Although he has been informed by the Intelligence Department and has a clear idea of Daming's attitude, he still can't help but be nervous in the face of this formation. He looked at the two Japanese ships with a telescope and ordered as calmly as possible:

"Order, the whole ship is ready for battle."

"Yes!" The staff officer behind him repeated loudly, "The whole ship is ready for battle!! ”

The herald whistled with a whistle in his mouth and a rapid blow against the microphone. The sharp whistle spread throughout the ship, and suddenly, the sound of a rapid "bang bang" running was heard everywhere, and soon the sound of the motor turning the main gun could be heard.

After a few moments, all the footsteps stopped, and only the warship continued to cleave the waves and move quickly. The bow of the ship was cut with white waves, and the shells of the main guns had been filled in. Next to the gun mount, the gunners wore steel helmets and life jackets, and the deck under their feet rose and fell sharply, standing on the deck with their feet rooted, staring at the Japanese ship in front of them, ready to fire at any time.

"Captain," the herald shouted to the captain with the receiver, "the whole ship is ready for battle!! ”

The captain of the ship was still holding the binoculars, looking at the Japanese ship that was getting closer and closer, and ordered in a deep voice:

"The course remains the same, the course remains the same, keep moving forward."

"Yes! The course remains the same, the course remains the same, and the course continues to move forward!! ”

……

The two Japanese ships moved laterally at a moderate rate of 15 knots, and the 12 main gun turrets kept turning as they moved their positions, always aiming at the Hornwood Jiao. The Jiaomu Jiao also always rushed forward with the original course of 25 knots, aiming at each other with two main guns, without the slightest hint of timidity.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and soon they were within a thousand meters. At this time, the Japanese ship obviously couldn't hold its breath, and "snapped" the signal light to ask what the Ming ship wanted to do.

Jiaomu Jiao is also not ambiguous, and immediately returns the signal:

"Cruising in our territorial waters."

Two Japanese ships sent another signal:

"This is a warring sea area, it has been blocked, please avoid it by third-party ships."

The Jiaomu Jiao immediately replied again:

"Our ship is the warring ship. It's the same as you. ”

This means that your side is fighting against the Northern Qing Dynasty, and our side is also fighting against the Northern Qing Dynasty. No one is a "third party". If you really want to talk about it, this is still our territorial waters, and it is you who should leave.

The Japanese ships had no choice, and they did not dare to fire their guns in the face of the Jiaomu Jiao, which was getting closer and closer, so they had to turn the bow of the ship, and the two ships turned at the same time, sandwiching the Jiaomu Jiao in the middle, and the two sides brushed head-on. Immediately afterwards, the two Japanese ships turned around at the same time, turned the bow together, and followed behind the Jiaomujiao, reducing it to a third of the voyage, allowing the Jiaomujiao to gradually move away in front.

When the distance between the two sides widened to about 1ooo meters, the two Japanese ships increased at the same time, and also soared to 25 knots, one left and one right bitten behind, sandwiching the Jiaomu Jiao in the middle, always maintaining a distance of about 1ooo meters, and at the same time, the distance between the two Japanese ships was also about 15oo meters. The three destroyers formed an isosceles obtuse triangle.

In this position, the two Japanese ships could turn all their main guns to shoot at the Ming ship at the same time, without accidentally injuring each other.

On the Kakumujiao, the captain, the observers, and the sailors of the various artillery crews witnessed the two skillful and almost synchronized two major turns of the two Japanese ships. The two Japanese ships worked together seamlessly, as if they were not two ships, but just one. And as a destroyer, the long two-thousand-ton bulk, but the operation does not look bulky at all, and the agility is almost like a torpedo boat.

The excellent performance of the Japanese ships and the excellent skills of the Japanese sailors left a deep impression on the captain of Kakumujiao.

……

The two Japanese ships clung to the Jiaomu Jiao, constantly repeating the signal that "this is a warring sea area, it has been blocked, please avoid it by a third party," and followed the Jiaomu Jiao for more than two hours. In the end, the Jiaomujiao approached the sea off Dadonggou Port, and the bow of the turning ship was about to go inward, and the two Japanese ships panicked and issued a series of warning signals:

"Warning! Your ship must turn around immediately! If you continue to move forward, you will be responsible for all the consequences! ”

Jiaomu Jiao gave a signal:

"Please pay attention to the fact that Dadonggou Port and the entire Mukden are our territory!"

While turning on the signal light, I rushed into the harbor at the mouth of the Yalu River.

"Bang ......"

A string of machine shells grazed over the head of the Hornwood Jiao.

The Japanese ship fired warning shots.
