Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2290 Abandon anchor and head north!

As the Qingyun slowly sank, the flames and smoke gradually faded away. On this sea torn apart by war, all that was left were endless Japanese corpses and an empty whirlpool.

The Duanwu guerrillas won the victory, and on the ship, the cheers of the soldiers were like thunder.

They hugged each other and cried, laughter and tears mixed together, celebrating this hard-won victory.

Duanwu also showed a happy smile, but he was not as crazy as the soldiers.

Because the war had just begun, he believed that the sunken Japanese warship had sent a distress signal to other Japanese warships.

Moreover, he had just received news that due to the warship's overload, the power system had a serious malfunction and he didn't know when the ship could be repaired.

And if his last three shots had not hit the enemy ship and sunk it, they would probably not be having an easy time at this moment.

Of course, Duanwu cannot use these to dampen the soldiers' mood, because victory requires celebration.

However, at this time, Ma Pingan came over. When he saw Duanwu, he first bumped fists with Duanwu in celebration, and then lowered his voice and said, "There is some bad news."

Duanwu asked in return, what news could be worse than losing motivation?

Ma Pingan whispered in his ear: "Our anchor seems to be stuck. We tried several times but failed to pull it up."

Duanwu scratched his head and said nonchalantly: "That's really difficult!"

"・・・"

Ma Ping'an was speechless, thinking: "Does your expression look like you are in trouble?"

However, at this time, Duanwu laughed and said, "Haha, I have encountered such a situation before. I just cut the chain on the anchor."

"Huh? Is this okay?"

Ma Pingan opened his mouth in surprise. What he meant was that if the anchor was dropped, there would be no way to stop the boat.

But Duanwu never thought about stopping the boat. Because it happened before, the boat hull moved sideways, the anchor got stuck, and the anchor could not be pulled up, so they just abandoned it.

Later, the warship was sunk, and there was no need to stop the ship. So Duanwu felt that it didn't matter whether there was an anchor or not.

But Ma Pingan didn't think so. The first thing he thought of was how to stop the ship after abandoning the anchor.

"Okay, forget about it. Drop the anchor. Once the power is restored, we'll leave immediately. If we go through another battle like this, I think we'll probably be sunk."

Duanwu patted Ma Ping'an on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.

Ma Ping'an has absolute trust in Duanwu, so even if he has his own ideas, he will definitely carry out Duanwu's orders in full.

Ma Ping'an went to order the soldiers to drop the anchor, but unexpectedly at this moment, the warship's power system was restored.

Duanwu ordered the destroyer Oshima to turn on only the necessary lights and head north along the coastline.

In the cockpit, Ma Ping'an was studying the Japanese nautical charts.

This nautical chart was very important to them because there were many reefs along the coast. Once they ran aground on the reefs, they would sink into the sea without the need for the enemy to sink them.

So after taking over the position of captain, Ma Pingan has been analyzing this nautical chart.

Ma Ping'an was very moved. The Japanese's nautical chart was even more detailed than the one he saw when he was undercover as a cruise ship captain.

  In other words, the Japanese have been coveting Chinese territory for a long time, otherwise how could they have such an accurate nautical chart?

Ma Ping'an sighed, because we know the land of our own country better than that of other countries.

With the sea chart, the warship sailed north smoothly until two hours later, when they saw lights in the distance. At this moment, Duanwu immediately ordered all lights on the warship to be turned off, and the ship began to slow down.

At the same time, five kilometers away from the Oshima, another medium-sized destroyer had already discovered the warship where Duanwu was located through radar.

  The Japanese officer was very surprised, because what kind of ship could it be?

He ordered his men to contact the other party by radio, but there was no response.

At this moment, the radar soldier discovered that the opponent's speed was slowly decreasing and seemed to be about to stop.

The Japanese captain Suzuki looked at the radar and asked, "What's going on? Such a big ship, it should be a warship, right? Could it be an enemy ship?"

A Japanese officer asked suspiciously, "Sir, this is impossible? As far as I know, Chinese warships are not as big as ours. Could they be cruisers? But those Chinese warships have already gone to the south. It is impossible for them to appear here."

Major Suzuki thought for a moment and said, "The other party's actions are strange. There is no way to guarantee that they are not enemies!"

The Japanese officer then said, "Sir, but we received an order for reinforcement from Sir Leng Yuan. If we delay here for too long and miss the reinforcement, then..."

Suzuki nodded slightly, then asked, "Has Lord Leng Yuan not been contacted yet?"

"Report, no. Lord Lengyuan's radio has been silent."

A signalman replied, and Suzuki frowned even more. Because he couldn't contact Lord Leng Yuan either.

If he can be contacted, he can also ask for instructions.

However, if we leave the enemy ships alone, it will be troublesome if our headquarters finds out.

After thinking it over again and again, Suzuki gave the order: "Test the boat across. It's only five nautical miles. It won't waste much time."

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

The Japanese officer took the order and immediately ordered the ship to turn around and head towards the Oshima.

At the same time, the radar on the Oshima also showed that the Japanese warships were coming towards them.

Ma Ping'an frowned and said, "Brother Ye, the Japanese warships have discovered us and are heading towards us."

Duanwu looked at the radar, then thought for a while and said, "We can make two preparations. It's still dark now. If we let the soldiers change into the devil's clothes, we can pretend to be a defeated Japanese warship retreating to rest. On the other hand, the enemy's warship is about the same size as ours, and it is very likely to be a destroyer.

If all our main guns hit, they will have an 80% chance of sinking. So my countermeasure is to use camouflage to paralyze them, and then launch a surprise attack when they are unprepared, and directly sink them. "

Ma Pingan said with some concern: "Will this work? What if the enemy knows that we are guerrillas and fires first? Then we will be sunk directly."

Duanwu fell into thought, because what Ma Pingan said was not without reason. After all, they not only captured the Oshima, but also sank the Qingyun.

They made such a big fuss, but the Japanese really didn't know about it?

Of course, the Dragon Boat Festival is unknown, everything is just a coincidence.

When he captured the Oshima, the Japanese sent a distress signal directly to the Qingyun.

Because Leng Yuan is the highest commander of the entire fleet. He has the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, while the other destroyers have the rank of Major Colonel.

So the distress signal from the Oshima was sent to the Qingyun, but no one else received it.

As for the Qingyun, it was attacked by Duanwu before it could confirm whether there were any enemies on the Oshima. And after the first wave of artillery attack, the radio on the Qingyun became completely mute.

So at this time, Duanwu captured the Yamato and sank the Qingyun, while the other devils were still kept in the dark! .
