Just when Xu Jie's fleet was being reorganized in Weihaiwei, the East China Sea also became unstable, and all kinds of camouflage attack ships began to appear on Japan's major shipping routes, and these camouflage attack ships called "national pirates" by later generations finally appeared on the stage of history, and in previous wars, they were called the powerful help of the Chinese navy, especially in the Qing and Japanese First Sino-Japanese Naval War, the first "national pirates" appeared from beginning to end to give the Japanese military a headache.

In fact, this nature of "national pirates" is definitely not the first of Xu Jie's creation, as early as the Elizabethan era, Britain provided shelter and assistance to pirates who attacked Spanish transport ships. Among them, the famous Drake is one of them. It's just that this time Xu Jie moved this tactic to the East. Among the "national pirates" who participated in the robbery of the Japanese transport fleet, there was also a strict classification, and some "brick families" in later generations also specially divided these people into three categories, professional pirates, part-time pirates, and auxiliary pirates.

The so-called professional pirates are those who obtained high-speed merchant ships with strengthened structures through various means before the outbreak of the Qing-Japanese War (about 40% of which came from Italy), and these weapons were also provided or purchased by various naval divisions of the Qing Dynasty, mainly the old cannons left over after the major naval divisions of the Qing State changed their guns. IT IS SAID THAT A JAPANESE MERCHANT SHIP FOR THE PURPOSE OF TRANSPORTING SUPPLIES SAW THE 152MM GUNS ON THE ATTACKING SHIP APPROACHING, AND IT TOOK NO 8 MINUTES FROM THE ATTACK SHIP TO THE OTHER SIDE SURRENDERING AFTER THE ATTACK SHIP PUSHED OPEN THE DOOR UNDER THE FALSE DECK. Set a record for the speed of robbery in the naval battle between the Qing and Japan! These professional pirates had the major fleets of the Qing State to provide logistical maintenance, military ports open to them, and ammunition, weapons and even technicians. These pirates are the most combative, but they are few in number. The so-called part-time pirates did not do so much preparation at first, and on the eve of the outbreak of war, they were called upon by the government to participate in the "robbery business". THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT SO PARTICULAR, PULL OUT A RELATIVELY FAST MERCHANT SHIP, AND INSTALL A FEW 75MM SAMPAN GUNS ON THE SIDE CHORD, AND SOME EVEN ONLY HAVE TWO 47MM MACHINE GUNS. After encountering a small boat, he directly approached and swept a few cannons, and then a bunch of people with rifles and pistols or grenades to play jumping gangs, in addition to the weapons in their hands are more advanced, the combat style is not fundamentally different from the predecessors hundreds of years ago, but there is also a strange thing inside. An overseas Chinese captain named Zhang Lixin built a special gun room on his ship, and opened the gun ports on both sides, and when the enemy was encountered on the left side, he pushed four 75mm sampan guns to the port side, and when he encountered the enemy on the right side, he put the guns along the guide rail to the starboard side! The so-called auxiliary pirates do even more complicated, generally providing supplies and assistance to the first two types of pirates, and when necessary, they are responsible for escorting captured merchant ships and handling and selling the ship's cargo! In short, it is a one-stop service for robbers!! As for the share? Quite simply, with the exception of weapons and ammunition, which can be used directly in battle, privateer owners only need to hand over 10% of their cargo. Of course, ammunition and supplies are to be procured by themselves, and they are also responsible for the salaries of ship maintenance and technicians. Spurred on by huge profits, some of the attack ships even penetrated deep into the Sea of Japan. And Peng Haifeng's ship is one of those ships.

"If you're lucky, hopefully the items on this boat won't be canned or rice anymore." Peng Haifeng said as he stood on the deck and stared at the 3,000-ton merchant ship in the distance with a telescope.

"It's a big ship. We're afraid we'll have a hard time getting it. A deputy said.

"Leave it alone, just send a signal and say that our ship is leaking." Peng Haifeng said impatiently.

It is said that at sea, when a ship in distress is encountered, other ships will usually come to the aid when it passes by. Even if one boat asks the time because the clock is not accurate, the other boats should reply. (1) Legendary Wartime Raider Captain Lucknar used this almost pediatric problem to get several warships.) It can be seen that in the volatile seas, human beings are still very united), but today it seems that there is an exception. The ship initially approached Peng Haifeng's Sea Shark, but then, without even signaling, it left directly. "Could it be that we were discovered?" Peng Haifeng muttered to himself. Probably not, right? If they are discovered, they will not only leave, but also flee. Why? The captain is indifferent? It can't be, because the actions that began showed that the ship flying the Japanese flag had the intention to help itself. So why? However, Peng Haifeng didn't have time to figure out the ins and outs of this matter. Since deception is not good, let's compare speed. …,

THE SEA SHARK IS A CUSTOM-BUILT ASSAULT SHIP, WITH A 150MM KRUPP GUN IN THE BOW OF THE SHIP AND SEVERAL 75MM SAMPAN GUNS ON THE SIDE OF THE SHIP. THERE WAS ALSO AN ANGLE OF ATTACK IN THE BOW, AND IN THE PORTHOLES OF THE SHIP'S SUPERSTRUCTURE, SEVERAL 37MM AND 47MM GUNS WERE ALSO PLACED. And the hull weighing 2,500 tons can be installed with enough power to allow the ship to run at a high speed of 15 and a half knots. Immediately, under the command of Peng Haifeng, the "first-class" attack ship quickly chased after it. Just when the two sides were less than 1KM, a 75MM sampan gun was suddenly launched from the porthole of the ship's side, which was a shot at the Sea Shark!

"Encountered hard stubble. Brothers, take out them and let them see our artillery. Peng Haifeng said as he asked his subordinates to push his precious 6-inch cannon into the gun position, and 1 minute later, a 45KG shell fell on the stern of the opponent's boat. It was as if I was frightened by the splash of water. The ship suddenly slowed down and raised flags demanding an end to the fighting. And lowered the Japanese flag and raised the Russian flag.

"Leave him alone, board the ship and check. If you want to resist, sink it directly. "Peng Haifeng doesn't care if it's a Russian ship or not, anyway, the Japanese flag you started to fly, Lao Tzu has to take care of it!

"Boss, look, the people above are fighting. There are Russians and Japanese! One of the subordinates said.

"What's going on? Hurry up and sue the commandos, if anyone dares to resist, kill them on the spot. PENG HAIFENG SAW THAT THE SITUATION WAS NOT RIGHT, AND AFTER COMMANDING THE 6-INCH GUN AND THE 75MM SAMPAN GUN TO GET RID OF THE ARTILLERY THAT DARED TO RESIST, THE COMMANDO TEAM THAT HAD BEEN WAITING FOR A LONG TIME JUMPED ONTO THE OPPONENT'S BATTLESHIP VERY QUICKLY. After a burst of gunfire, Yiqiē calmed down, and except for a few Russians and Japanese who had been killed, the remaining Japanese captain and a Russian who looked like a head were brought to Peng Haifeng.

"Tell me, how did you get into the fight?" The interpreter asked.

"This Russian wants to blow up and sink my ship." The Japanese captain who was brought up said excitedly in Chinese.

"What's in it? WHERE DID YOU GET THE 75MM SAMPAN GUN? Peng Haifeng asked.

"It is said that it is Russian canned food, it is the goods of this Russian. THE 75MM SAMPAN GUN WAS PROVIDED BY THE RUSSIANS AS ONE OF OUR REWARDS FOR TRANSPORTING SUPPLIES FOR THEM. Said the Japanese captain.

"What are you afraid of?" Peng Haifeng asked in English. And the Russian didn't say a word, as if he were in a vegetative state.

"Boss, you've come and see, what is this?" One of his subordinates exclaimed, and then, Peng Haifeng jumped onto the Japanese cargo ship, and in front of him, an 8-inch shell came into view in an open box.

"What's going on? Say! Like an angry leopard, Peng Haifeng went up and grabbed the Japanese captain by the collar.

"I don't know anything." The Japanese captain pleaded.

"Lock them all up. These shells take a few rounds to make a sample, and then scuttle it. Peng Haifeng thought for a while and said. To Peng Haifeng's surprise, his decision actually changed history in the future. But at the time, it was just a small episode of Peng Haifeng's two-year pirate career.

To ask what these "national pirates" of that time hated eating the most. I'm afraid that nine out of ten people will say that it is a bonito. This thing is actually made by removing the fat and internal organs of bonito and going through processes such as boiling, smoking, and molding. This thing was so hard that the people who began to attack the boat got it, thought it was ordinary dried fish, and stuffed it into their mouths, and then they felt as if they were biting a wooden stick, and the bubbles were not soft when they took the water. In the end, I found out that this thing is actually used to make soup, and it is naturally very difficult to bite this thing called "fish mummy" directly with your mouth, and even if you make soup, you have to toss it into thin slices or grind it into powder!! Still, these people found some good ones in the various seized materials. First of all, the variety of canned food from Japan was an eye-opener for these crews. In addition to the common canned beef, there is also canned trout, and the "Brave Yamato Boil" made from lean whale meat. Canned shellfish, canned tuna, canned squid, and more. In short, these people who sailed long on the ship ate almost all types of canned food in Japan. Eat it every day, and it's not the same every day.

Under the blow of these attack ships, the loss of a large number of materials made the Japanese top brass have to pay attention, and began to decide to use unprotected cruisers and turrets to escort the escort, but there are too many materials to be transported, and the strength of the Japanese escort fleet is too small, so this problem has not been completely solved. (The warships of the guerrilla fleet are used to deal with Xu Jie, so naturally they cannot be requisitioned, while this team is used to maintain sea supremacy and decisive battles in the Korean Strait, let alone requisition.) So there are very few battleships left. ）
