However, Ye Fei directly rejected this temptation, and at the same time rejected the proposal of some former Kuomintang naval officers and sailors to "force the Japanese to abandon the ship and send people up to collect some war spoils, anyway, this is also to break the international practice in the war." Because "we can be Avengers, but not robbers." ”。 And once the crew really does pirate business, their minds will not be corrupted by money, which is also what Ye Fei never wants to see. More importantly, if this kind of behavior of collecting war trophies on ships becomes a common practice, it is likely to be used by the enemy in the future to set traps with disguised armed merchant ships, which was mentioned by the German naval officer who gave a lecture not long ago, and during the First World War, German submarines were not less than destroyed by British camouflaged ships in this way, and Ye Fei didn't want his fleet to kill himself because of greed

In addition, Ye Fei was ready to leave three minutes for the Japanese fleet to get off the ship and flee after firing the cannon to ask the other party to stop, as an old party member, he was still a little disgusted with the combat method of breaking the war with civilians as the target in his heart, although he had to adopt such a way of fighting due to the situation, but he would still try to avoid unnecessary killing.

Three minutes didn't even have time to clean up, but if it was organized, at least it was okay to put down the lifeboat and save the lives of the crew, but the Japanese owner let the three ships scatter and escape in order to reduce his own losses, and he didn't care about the lives of the crew at all, which angered Ye Fei at that time. The two ships were immediately ordered to open fire.

Although the original torpedo tubes on the two heavy cruisers have long been removed, but at this time the two sides are extremely close, and it is a big guy like bombarding sea ships, and the naval guns are also powerful, the hit rate of direct aim is almost 100 percent, not to mention, the power is also considerable, for civilian ships without armor protection, not to mention the 203mm caliber main gun, even the 127mm high-level dual-purpose gun can cause huge damage to its hull, especially the gunners on the two heavy cruisers also deliberately aimed at the waterline to fire. It is even more fatal to it. And what's even worse. The maximum speed of the three bulk carriers is not comparable to the cruising speed of the two heavy cruisers, and when one of them is sunk first, the remaining two have no chance to escape the pursuit anyway

The desperate Japanese shipowner decided to abandon the ship, but it was too late. In the huge earthquake of the ship's continuous explosions, it was difficult for the lifeboat to be lowered smoothly. And the more anxious the sailors are, the more likely they are to make mistakes. As a result, when all three Japanese bulk carriers were sunk, only two lifeboats were rescued in total, and even counting the number of people they searched and rescued. In total, only a few dozen people survived.

After all three bulk carriers were sunk, Taiwan's Kaohsiung Air Force planes arrived late, and the two Chinese warships were nowhere to be seen on the sea. The unwilling devil pilot drove the plane to look around, but because the detection distance of the two heavy cruiser shipborne radars for high-flying targets exceeded 80 kilometers (mainly for high-altitude targets, the surface of the earth no longer affects the horizon of the short-wave radar. And the devil's plane is to look for a target, so naturally it is impossible for the task force to fly too low, so the task force can detect the enemy plane in advance and avoid the direction of its advance in advance to evade detection, not to mention that even the devil's reconnaissance plane now has a cruising speed of only three or four hundred kilometers per hour, and the number of planes they dispatched that did not attach great importance to this attack at the beginning is not enough, where is it so easy to find the target?

The next day, the task force found their second prey, which was worth even more because the large tanker with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons was loaded with high-quality crude oil purchased by Japan from the Minas field. It is worth mentioning that the quality of crude oil produced by the Minas oil field (and other oil fields in Indonesia) is the first (before the discovery of the North Sea oil field), and it can even directly replace heavy oil for large warships (Note 1), although because of its strong volatility, the escaping steam is mixed with air, and there is a risk of explosion once it encounters an open flame, but because the heavy oil reserves carried by the two ships at this time are used up less than one-fifth. There is no need to worry about the Indonesian crude oil mixed with this proportion (this is very different from the fact that all the Indonesian crude oil burned by the devil warships in history), so Ye Fei still made an exception and agreed to send someone to board the ship and seize the time to replenish some oil

However, it is precisely because the fuel reserves of the two ships were not consumed much before, so most of the crude oil on the tanker had to be abandoned, although most of it was burned in the fire, but still some of it flowed into the sea, coupled with the black smoke billowing when the crude oil burned, which caused huge pollution to the environment. Ye Fei, who had long known the concept of pollution from Hu Weidong, naturally understood this, but he couldn't help but do it, "War itself is the biggest source of pollution, and if you want to reduce its damage, you can only find a way to end it as soon as possible."

The column of smoke produced after the oil tanker caught fire was like an ancient beacon fire that pointed out the target to the Japanese army in Taiwan, and the sinking of the 10,000-ton oil tanker was enough to arouse their full attention; after almost all the more than 300 planes in the hands of the Japanese army in Taiwan were sent out to conduct a dragnet search, the whereabouts of the task force were finally discovered by the reconnaissance planes of the Japanese Kaohsiung Air Force, but it was obvious that Taiwan's devil pilots still lacked a concept of the powerful air defense capability of the Chinese warships, and the Kaohsiung Air Force wanted to seize the credit. He attacked alone without waiting for friendly forces to arrive

Before the "77 Incident", the total number of Japanese planes was not much, so the Kaohsiung Air Force at that time had less than 20 aircraft, after the outbreak of the war of aggression against China, Japan's aircraft production capacity increased rapidly, but because Taiwan was far away from the front line of the war, the expansion of the army and naval aviation forces here was very limited, take the Kaohsiung Air Force as an example, the total number of planes was only 36, and "although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs." Fighters, bombers, reconnaissance planes, and other types of aircraft are readily available, so the number of bombers among them is naturally limited, and the total number of bombers is only 12, and the little devils of the Kaohsiung Air Force actually used this 12 bombers to launch an attack on the task force with regional air defense capability

Note 1: In history, the warships of the devils in the middle and late stages of the Pacific War basically burned Indonesian crude oil directly, and the statement that it can be supplied to the aircraft without refining is completely a rumor, the quality of heavy oil is low, and its own characteristics are relatively close to crude oil, so it can be replaced, and at that time, the aircraft burned gasoline, and the octane number could not be low, not to mention that the specific and viscous crude oil could not be replaced, even if the refining level was a little worse, it was difficult to produce (to be continued......
