It turned out that Xiao Lamei had made a mistake about the content of the telegram. The "oil on both ships" in her small mouth is actually a cruise ship, not an "oil tanker"!

In other words, as soon as Capone made a move, he robbed one of the little devils' "passenger liners"!

"How so?" Bai Shujie saw Deputy Commander Ge Yougui coming up, and immediately asked with a wry smile: "Hijacking a passenger ship, this will be hit by the whole world, don't you know?" ”

"Commander-in-chief, don't worry, listen to me slowly." Ge Yougui said in a low voice: "I took the third guard formation out, which can be regarded as a teaching task, and at the same time, I also want to see what kind of attitude the little devil has towards us." I didn't expect to go all the way south, but I didn't encounter the plane and fleet of the little devils. ”

"At about three o'clock in the afternoon the day before yesterday, I left the No. 307 destroyer to stop at Chiwei Island to hide, and then continued to go south with the No. 203 cruiser and the No. 308 destroyer, stopping between the North Island and the South Island to conceal, and then turned on the radar to scan the vicinity."

As a result, at about six o'clock in the afternoon, I saw a fleet of ships coming from the island of Taiwan. We sent two speedboats to take a closer look, but we didn't expect this cruise ship to shoot first! ”

"Therefore I ordered the destroyer Project 307 to leave Akao Island and intercept it from the front; At the same time, the 208 destroyers were ordered to catch up from behind and block the retreat of the flotilla. After being suppressed by the fierce firepower of the dense array, it succeeded by helping. ”

"It turned out that there were no tourists on this cruise ship at all, all of them were little devils disguised as sailors! After a preliminary interrogation, it was revealed that all 6 freighters were ING freighters, and they were not the stuff of little devils at all. It turned out that the Dutch and Malays on the ship were all taken to Taiwan. ”

"Commander-in-chief, you see, there are two oil tankers at the back, much larger than the little devils, both of which are 20,000 tons, with a total of 27,000 tons of fuel oil. Among them, 5,600 tons of diesel fuel and 21,400 tons of heavy oil. The other two are rice, and it seems that 30,000 tons of rice just came out this year. There is also 1 ship with 14,200 tons of selected iron ore powder and 1 ship for agricultural and sideline products. ”

"I brought them back, I just didn't know what to do with it. In addition to the 129 sailors on the cruise ship, there was also a squadron of imp marines. Because we appeared too suddenly, and we were flying the American flag, the little devils could not suppress our firepower, so we had to lay down our weapons. ”

"Capone's people are all authentic Americans, so they are the ones who deal with them, and none of the instructors I brought with me showed up. Originally, the little devil was not ready to resist, but later he heard that the entire fleet had been confiscated, and a guy tried to run into the control tower to send a report, but he was killed. ”

"So far, those little devils think they have been caught by the Americans. I've ordered the dock guards to blindfold those little devils and put them in a cave. Commander-in-Chief, what shall we do now? ”

Bai Shujie stared at the cruise ship in front of him, and his heart was already like a pot.

It turns out that this is the "Glacier Maru Cruise" that the little devil is most proud of.

Launched on September 30, 1929 and commissioned on May 13, 1930, it is 163.3 meters long, 20.12 meters wide and has a draft of 9.2 meters.

This is a state-of-the-art cruise ship with a gross tonnage of 17,000 tons and is driven by diesel turbines. Double-acting, four-stroke cycle, 8-cylinder, diesel, 2-seat, 2-axle, 11,000 hp (5,500 hp×2), 18.21 knots.

(Gross tonnage is a number jù obtained by measuring the internal dimensions of a freighter.) Today's international standard is: 2.83 cubic meters of hull space is one tonnage, and the net tonnage is removed from the space that cannot transport materials. In other words, excluding the engine room, fuel tank, personnel activity cabin, etc., the net tonnage of this Glacier Maru cruise ship should be about 15,000 tons. Since 1930, the little devil has built many cruise ships to run all over the world, and many countries have warmly welcomed them! What Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco, are tens of thousands of onlookers.

As everyone knows, the little devil has ulterior motives!

By using these legitimate identities, they are actually surveying and mapping nautical charts. It's like sending hundreds of teams of three people to "travel" everywhere on the continent of our country, drawing military maps!

Because of this, after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the "special fleet" of the little devils appeared among the vast islands of the South Pacific, messing up the transportation lines of the Allied forces.

Bai Shujie checked several ships one by one, and it turned out that the freighter loaded with iron fuel was not a foreign freighter at all, but the Baoyang Maru-class oil tanker of the little devil Ridong Mining: Baoyang Maru, Diyang Maru!

standard displacement 9850 tons, full load 13960 tons; It is 154.83 meters long, 19.5 meters wide, 8.77 meters draft, 2 Mitsubishi MAN diesel engines, 7826 horsepower, and a maximum speed of 17.53 knots.

Bai Shujie was very puzzled in his heart: The little devil hung all his cruise ships and oil tankers under other people's flags, who is this to guard against?

According to historical records, the 24th Special Cruiser Fleet of the Little Devil's Navy has a number of submarines, which are active in the Indian Ocean and have done many earth-shattering things.

On December 13, 1941, shortly after the start of the war in the Pacific, the Aikomaru sank its first prey, the American transport ship Vincent.

On New Year's Day 1942, he sank the American freighter Malama. In March 1942, the 8th Diving Squadron wiped out 100,000 tons of Allied merchant ships in one fell swoop.

Worst of all, the little devils sent their pocket submarines on board and sank the British battleship Ramirez in Madagascar. The Allied forces had no battleships available throughout the Indian Ocean, and morale was extremely low.

On May 9, 1942, the special cruiser fleet of the little devils captured the Dutch tanker Senoda; On 13 July, the New Zealand armed merchant ship Horage was captured and brought back to Japan to be converted into the minelayer Burger.

The cruisers of the little devils are all converted from these so-called "cruise ships". Bai Shujie saw the little devil's cruise, just like seeing a heavy cruiser, and he felt very uncomfortable.

In fact, the decoration of the Hikawa Maru cruise can be called luxurious, with 76 first-class passenger cabins, 69 second-class passenger cabins, and 186 third-class passenger cabins. After the start of the Pacific War, the Glacier Maru Cruise was converted into a hospital ship for the Combined Fleet of Little Devils. In 1960, it was still running all over the world.

"Unload the fuel quickly, order the shipyard to carry out a comprehensive overhaul of the Glacier Maru cruise ship and the Baoxiang Maru and Dixiang Maru tankers, and then dismantle and dismantle the diesel turbine and mothball! Exactly how the hull will be used in the future will be discussed at that time. None of these ships belong to anyone else's, they are all the stuff of little devils. ”

Bai Shujie finally decided not to use this cruise ship for the time being, maybe it can be used at that time: "You and Capone go and say, I will give him three million dollars for these things, and give him a special account in a Swiss bank." ”

"As for the other freighters, we removed the superstructure and then designed and installed them separately, and changed the livery to become our own freighters. One purpose is not to let others see whose these freighters belong and are ready to undertake long-distance voyages. ”

Bai Shujie will not blindly use a freighter to modify any warship like a little devil. Because civilian ships are designed and manufactured, completely different from warships, there is no armor protection at all. A 105mm shell hits a key spot and can teleport the ship to the bottom of the sea!

Think about the so-called aircraft carriers of the little devils, all of which were sunk in the end, and one or two thousand people sank into the sea on each of them. The Flying Dragon Expeditionary Force has limited personnel, and Bai Shujie has never thought of taking human lives to fill it.

Bai Shujie knew that because of his appearance, the little devil came up with a "crooked trick of camouflaging civilian ships to sneak attack other people's freighters" in advance.

According to the inherent history, it should have been in the second half of 1941 that the little devils would use this despicable method: the freighters had only one chimney, but the little devil navy also asked for a second fake chimney made of canvas to fool others, specifically against the Allied merchant ships.

Now that the little devils have taken action, it means that their strategy of going south has been decided, and the entry of the Americans into the war is a foregone conclusion. This is a good thing for the Chinese nation, which has suffered so much.

This time it was just a small episode, and it didn't have much impact on Bai Shujie. He had a lot of things left to do now, and he was desperate for the second ship from Florida to arrive.

Unfortunately, it backfired. Bai Shujie wants to spend a period of peace, but anything else can happen at any time.

At about nine o'clock in the evening of this day, Bai Shujie was writing and drawing on the drawings, and in the right front of the work, a blue telephone of the special line of the Navy Headquarters suddenly rang!

"Report to the commander-in-chief: On the river south of Dedongli at the mouth of the Datong River, a submarine was discovered, and now it has been trapped by our anti-submarine net!"

Navy Commander Zhang Bingyang seemed to be very excited: "Our base offshore sonar also found that two submarines appeared in the sea area 5 kilometers southwest of Jiaodao, which are slowly approaching us about 30 meters below the water surface, and are currently less than a kilometer away from our anti-submarine net!" ”

Bai Shujie calculated a little in his heart, and immediately ordered: "Don't worry about the submarine on the river in Dedongli, the incubation time will not drag on for a long time." Their batteries don't last long before they run out, and if they don't float, they're all suffocated inside. Order the surrounding personnel to retreat one kilometer, beware of the little devils detonating the torpedo inside. ”

"As for the two submarines in the sea, closely monitor their movements. It's night, and it's the time for the little devils to engage in intrigues, so don't attack lightly. Once they're trapped in the nets, there's no need for us to do anything. ”

It turned out that since the occupation of Pyongyang, Bai Shujie has been worried about the appearance of the submarine of the little devil.

If the submarine of the little devil comes in from the mouth of the Datong River, the main guns of more than 100mm on the front deck of the submarine will pose a great threat to the city; The 533mm torpedoes carried on the pier, once released, would cause great damage to the dock.

To this end, Bai Shujie ordered the hemp spinning factory to immediately resume production, and urgently weaved more than 1,000 rope nets. It looks like a normal fishing net, but the hemp rope contains a small amount of thin steel wire.

Once the propeller is entangled, you won't want to rip it off anytime soon. If it is entangled in high-speed propulsion, the most severe consequence is that the propeller will be broken!

Later, with the first and second generation of passive sonar systems, Bai Shujie ordered Zhang Bingyang and Ge Yougui to build a naval base on Jiaodao outside the mouth of the Datong River with great fanfare.

At first, everyone was adamantly opposed. But when Bai Shujie took out the drawings and ordered Zhang Bingyang to arrange the sonar according to the square net, and at the same time lay down the anti-submarine net, everyone suddenly realized!

To put it bluntly, Bai Shujie set up a huge trap around the waters of Jiaodao!

In the waters near Jiaodao, various islands are densely packed, and the enemy's large ships cannot enter at all. Little devils have occupied the Korean Peninsula for more than 30 years, and there must be some common sense about this.

There are only two ways to attack the Jiaodao Naval Base: either the air force is dispatched to bomb it, or the submarines come in and sneak attack.

The little devil air force came in to bomb, and their own anti-aircraft artillery units naturally did not eat dry food. Wait until the fuel consumption of the imp's plane is almost exhausted, and his fighter will rise to the air for a decisive battle.

As for the submarine coming in, now the effect is already out. The little devils don't have a sonar system now, they think they don't know it, but in fact, the naval base has known about it for a long time.

Besides, the Jiaodao base is also a third escort formation, a Tenryu-class light cruiser, and two Somus-class destroyers. The radar detected the enemy plane, and they had already fled along the Datong River.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
