Chapter 635: Rescue

"Damn, these little devils are haunting, it's just disgusting!"

In the face of more and more Japanese warships, which are getting closer and closer, the sailors can't help but curse, but Chen Jiliang's face is full of gloom, he stares at the turquoise sea, this sea area is the ocean that the Chinese have relied on for generations, but at this time they let the warships of the great powers come and go, this is a shame, the greatest shame!

As a soldier, the anger in his chest kept surging, and at this moment, several black pillars of smoke suddenly appeared on the sea in the distance, fluttering, and hurried towards this side.

"Enemy ships!" Seeing this scene, the soldier's heart contracted suddenly, and everyone knew along the way that the road back to China would not be smooth, but until they arrived at the doorstep, there was no danger, and everyone still had a trace of luck, but with the appearance of the Japanese fleet, everyone's hearts were covered with a layer of clouds, and the situation was not good!

The Japanese fleet is getting closer and closer, and Chen Jiliang can already see the huge figure of the leading warship through the telescope: the King Kong!

Chen Jiliang recognized this battleship at a glance, the King Kong is a British main warship purchased by Japan, and it is also the only foreign-made warship used by Japan in World War II.

As the original battle cruiser, the King Kong was fast and had fierce firepower, following the consistent style of British warships, but its defensive power was obviously insufficient. However, with the introduction of this type of warship, the Japanese Navy finally caught up with Shijie's most advanced shipbuilding concept.

Then the Japanese built a large number of self-built battleships, becoming the third largest maritime power on Shijie, speaking of which the Japanese are also a very haode student, by the time of World War II, Japan's combined fleet, has comprehensively surpassed the former teacher Britain. In the War of Balances and Oceans, the British also tasted great hardship.

In fact, in terms of tonnage and performance, the Mackensen has completely thrown off the King Kong, but at this time the Mackensen has been unarmed, and can only watch this backward warship, showing its teeth and claws in front of it.

"Chen, I can't beat it. It is completely possible to escape, it is only about 100 nautical miles away from the port of China, as long as you escape to the port, you will have protection. Do you say yes? ”

A blonde, blue-eyed German officer suggested to Chen Jiliang that he was not the only German on the boat. There are more than 400 more. They all secretly boarded the battleship when the Mackensen left Hong Kong.

These Germans were all officers and sailors of the High Seas Fleet, and even more than 220 of them had participated in all the sea trials of the Mackensen, and they knew very well the performance of this warship, and if they went all out, they would throw off the Japanese battleship. Still very promising.

In fact, this is also one of the most important secrets of the Mackensen, although the main guns of this battleship have been removed, the power system is intact. If it relies on its own power system, the Mackensen also has the ability to return to China. However, in order to cover up people's eyes, Fengjun deliberately used a tugboat to tow the warship back along the way.

When crossing the English Channel, the British also boarded the ship to inspect it, but when they found that there were almost no sailors on the warship, they thought that this huge iron shell could not move, and the Feng army deliberately blew up several cabins, creating a broken impression, and successfully deceived the careless British.

The Feng army played a trick to repair the plank road and secretly Chen Cang, recruited a large number of retired naval personnel from Germany, sent them to Hong Kong, and then boarded the Mackensen, in order to start the behemoth at a critical moment, and then quickly escape.

Chen Jiliang was also faced with an important decision at this time, whether to show this hole card, a hundred nautical miles away is not far, if the Mackensen is at the highest speed, it will be almost two hours to reach Weihaiwei, which is China's territory, and their mission may be completed.

However, after Chen Jiliang thought about it again and again, he shook his head firmly: "Kendall, it's not time yet, Weihaiwei may not be able to provide the help we need, it is the territory of the Beiyang Army, not our world." ”

Kendall shrugged helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "China is really strange, but you are the boss, and we all obey your orders." ”

Chen Jiliang said to the people around him: "Quickly send a report to Fengtian, we have encountered a Japanese warship, ask for instructions!" Then he said to Kendall, "Old friend, take your people, hide in the cabin, don't come out, what to do, obey my command!" ”

Just after Chen Jiliang's order was issued, the Japanese fleet led by the King Kong had already rushed over, they had a total of five warships, the King Kong took the other two warships, formed a zigzag encirclement, and approached the Mackensen, and the other two warships were on guard on the perimeter.

The slow-moving Mackensen had no ability to fight back, and the Japanese easily surrounded the massive warship, and then raised an arrogant flag asking the Mackensen to sail with them.

As soon as he saw this banner, Chen Jiliang quickly understood the plan of the Japanese, they wanted to snatch this warship from the hands of the Feng army for nothing. It can attack jade with the stone of the mountain, and the German shipbuilding jishu is still quite solid, and the Japanese also covet it.

When they learned that the Mackensen was going to move Mukden, they formulated such a jihua, and at the door of Fengjun's house, intercepted the warship, and then towed it to Japan for research. It not only got jishu, but also completely blocked the hope of the Feng army to go to the ocean.

Over the years, the Japanese have been at a disadvantage, and the government and the opposition have also held back their grievances, but they think that this is the time to vent their anger, and there may still be hope for the Feng army on land, but when it comes to the ocean, that is the world of the combined fleet, and the Feng army is a piece of fat.

At this time, the Mackensen was in a very bad situation, the King Kong, which was about the same size as him, occupied the starboard position, a light cruiser ran to the front, a heavy cruiser followed, and the three warships had completely surrounded the Mackensen.

Chen Jiliang and the others could clearly see the arrogant and arrogant expressions of the other party, the Japanese naval soldiers shouting loudly, ridiculing wildly, and constantly shouting in blunt Chinese.

"You drops, surrounded by Great Japan. Follow us obediently, or you will die, die, die! ”

"Captain, let's fight with the little devils, even if we die, we can't listen to their orders." A sailor took out a pistol as he spoke, and Chen Jiliang grabbed him.

"I understand your feelings, but don't come nonsense, our life and death are small, and the safety of warships is a big matter, we have to believe in the marshal. I believe they will have a way to save us! ”

Chen Jiliang was under siege, and while he waved flags with the Japanese to let them leave, he hurriedly sent a telegram to the country asking for support.

It was at this time. At the airfield in Weihaiwei, Shandong, 20 fighter planes lined up one after another. Kong Qin personnel are doing Zuihou's inspection work.

"Brethren. We have just received instructions from the General Staff that the Japanese are unreasonably encircling our warships, and now is the time for everyone to show their skills, and we must let the Japanese know that China's waters are not just coming whenever they want. If you want to go, you can go, and you have to ask us if you agree! ”

He Shilong was mobilizing before the war, and at this time, from the barracks on the other side. Dozens of young people ran out, all of them were pilots, and when they ran to He Shilong's approach, they said with a dissatisfied face: "Instructor, do you look down on us rookie apprentices, and you won't call us when Weishenme goes to fight the Japanese?" ”

Wu Peifu, who was a newly recruited pilot of the official Beiyang Army, also knew the importance of the Air Force, so he introduced a lot of planes from the Fengjun Army and asked Zhang Tinglan to send some instructors to them. With the help of this cooperation, the Feng army successfully sent Liliang in the air, and at this time, the Mackensen had a problem, and it was just the time for them to show their skills.

He Shilong patted these students and said with relief: "You are different from us, you have to take risks in this kind of thing, so don't get involved!" ”

"Instructors, whether they are from Beiyang or Fengjun, everyone is Chinese, and the little devils have bullied us, so we should fight side by side."

"Yes, we all have to follow the instructor and teach the Japanese a lesson together!"

These students were all enthusiastic, shouting slogans loudly one by one, full of enthusiasm, and He Shilong's eyes were slightly red when he saw them like this.

"You are all good, let's meet the enemy together, let the Japanese understand the blood of the Chinese, and from now on, no one wants to do whatever they want in our sea frontier!"

The pilots of the Feng Army, plus these cadets, were all excited, and they were all busy preparing. At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the airport, a classic car ran in front, the car stopped on the airport, the door opened, and out of it came a general in military uniform, who came was Cao Kun.

Surrounded by guards, he came to the pilots, his face as gloomy as the bottom of an iron pot, and he said loudly: "What do you want to do? ”

When He Shilong saw Cao Kun coming, the identities of the two sides were very different, but he had straightened his chest and said loudly: "Do what a Chinese soldier should do!" ”

"Okay, that's a good point!" Cao Kun suddenly patted him on the shoulder, and then said meaningfully: "Young man, he is a man, but I want to tell you, don't involve the government because of a moment of recklessness, national affairs cannot be solved by recklessness." ”

Cao Kun said and walked to the middle of all the pilots, and then said: "Everyone listen, you are killed, don't worry, but once you really exchange fire with the Japanese, it will be a big battle, the soldiers will be in trouble, and the people will suffer. ”

"Cowardice before fighting, didn't the Feng army win the Russians, it can be seen that the great powers have nothing to fear, they are always afraid of the enemy like a tiger, how can there be a day of victory!"

A Beiyang pilot said in a low voice, but these words still fell into Cao Kun's ears, his eyes suddenly widened, and he sneered: "Whether you understand it or not, in short, no one is allowed to leave this place, otherwise military law will be involved!" ”

Cao Kun issued an order and asked his subordinates to take care of He Shilong and others, and he left the airport in a car.

……

"Cao Kun, this cloth seller, bastard, straw bale!"

In order to ensure the smooth return of the Mackensen, Fengjun has set up a special team, with Zhang Tinglan personally serving as the team leader, and Yang Yuting, Jiang Fangzhen, Chang Yinhuai, Shen Honglie, Feng Yong and others are all team members.

He Shilong and they couldn't follow Jihua's dispatch, which immediately made Shen Honglie thunderous and angry, the hope of the navy was all on the Mackensen, if the Japanese were taken captive, not only would the huge investment be wasted, but the dream of quickly owning a large aircraft carrier would also be shattered, and no one could bear this blow.

"Marshal, hurry up and put pressure on Cao Kun to allow the Air Force to fight. Now the Mackensen is under siege, and Chen Jiliang can't hold on for long! Feng Yong also hurriedly suggested.

Zhang Tinglan suddenly waved his hand: "Cao Kun did this, there must be the instructions of the Japanese, and it is expected, you don't have to worry, even if I can't use the Air Force Liliang, I have enough ways to get the warship back." But one thing you have to keep in mind is that if we don't do it, we're going to go to war with the Japanese, do you have the courage to do that? ”

"Absolutely!" Jiang Dengxuan took the lead and stood up: "Dashuai, a ship is a mobile maritime land, and the Japanese attacked the Mackensen, this is already an act of war, is it tolerable or unbearable, and the big deal is to fight with the little devil to the death." ”

The others also stood up and asked to fight together, Zhang Tinglan nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, then follow the second set of plans, and rescue the Mackensen at all costs." ”

……

"Captain, call from Mukden!"

Chen Jiliang, who was at a loss, suddenly received this secret message, and his heart was immediately overjoyed, after he glanced at it, he immediately knew it in his heart, and his eyes also revealed strong confidence.

"Tell the Japanese that we are willing to obey their orders, but ask them to ensure our personal safety, not to board the ship at will, and to keep a distance so that we can turn!"

When the soldiers heard Chen Jiliang's words, they were all stunned, how could they agree to the request of the Japanese, could they hand over the battleship to them in front of their eyes?

However, no matter how many doubts there were, they could only obey the order, and according to Chen Jiliang's order, they waved the flag to the Japanese.

The captain of the Kongo, Muta Kametaro, was the commander of this special fleet, and when he saw the flag on the Mackensen, he was overjoyed, and the people were really a bunch of cowards, and they were all cowardly so soon, and he also pretended to be generous and agreed to Chen Jiliang's request. He asked for a change of course, and with the Japanese fleet, he returned to the Sasebo base and handed over the Mackensen to the Japanese Combined Fleet.

Chen Jiliang also obediently followed the instructions and turned around the warship, but just as he turned around, suddenly one cable broke, and then the other one also broke, and the Mackensen suddenly lost control and drifted to the side. (To be continued......)
