Chapter 801 Exposure
"Joino" is a light destroyer with a displacement of more than 1000 tons. It belongs to the Taiwan Fleet of the Japanese Navy. The "Chengye" sailed out of the military port in Tainan and started a day-long patrol.

The "Sink It" operation planned by Ouyang Yun not only severely damaged the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy, but also severely hit the arrogance of the Japanese Navy.Since the "Akagi" and other two aircraft carriers were sunk in the Taiwan Strait, the Japanese Navy, starting from the "Big Three" and down to the grassroots officers and soldiers, have all behaved with their tails between their legs, and the weak Taiwan fleet is even more cautious Reduced duty cruising distance.However, the fleet participating in the "Zhao's Orphan" operation was still discovered by the little devil.

In the current situation where the Japanese navy dominates the South China Sea and even the South Pacific, the Japanese navy is not worried about encountering hostile ships at all. Therefore, although the Japanese navy has already tucked its tail and behaved because of the sinking of the "Akagi", However, all the Japanese naval officers and soldiers on the "Joye" are still very relaxed at the moment.

"It's a sunny day today. At this moment, Mt. Fuji must have started to snow, right?" Captain Miyamoto Shota was standing in front of the transparent and spacious side window of the captain's cabin, looking at the rising red sun in the east. The voice of the lookout came from the microphone on the stage: "Report, a large number of ships have been found in the northwest direction, about [-] nautical miles away from me. According to observations, they are fishing boats."

"Fishing boats, Chinese people are really hardworking," Miyamoto thought, and said, "Then continue to observe!"

A quarter of an hour passed, and as the Chinese warships gradually caught up with the fleet, new news came from the lookout post: "Your Excellency, Captain, a warship has been discovered. There are indeed warships in the Chinese fishing fleet."

"Warship? Have you looked carefully?"

"Hay."

The fleet and warships of the Chinese people, but their direction, could it be our own warships, what mission is the Ministry of the Navy performing?Thinking this way, Miyamoto picked up the high-powered binoculars, and soon, he found the shadows of warships among the fishing boats.What is certain is that the warship is definitely not the standard of the Japanese Navy, and the tonnage is too small, at best it has a displacement of about [-] tons. "Catch up," Miyamoto ordered, and he was puzzled. The direction of these ships was obviously leaving from Taiwan. However, the warships of the Chinese people, how could they appear here in this state?
The Japanese navy advanced at full speed, and it took only about half an hour for them to appear in the sight of everyone in the transport fleet.

Chen Yuanyang was on one of the gunboats. When the first fishing boat to spot the Japanese ship reported the situation, he felt a chill in his heart, knowing that what he was most worried about had happened.

"There is only one warship, the tonnage is about 22 tons, and the speed is very fast. It should be about [-] knots. Commander, what should we do?" Xu Haiquan, the captain of the gunship, asked Chen Yuanyang after he personally went to the observation post to observe the enemy ship.

Chen Yuanyang frowned, thought for a while, and ordered decisively: "Order, all the gunboats immediately slow down and prepare to meet the enemy. In addition, all fishing boats and logistics ships return at full speed immediately."

After the Dongshan Fleet was attacked by the Japanese, it suffered heavy losses. There were only four ships intact. Among them, the torpedo boats could not undertake the transportation task at all. Therefore, only three gunboats participated in the operation this time. Among them, only the command ship This Dongshan 121 is the biggest.

The total tonnage of the three gunboats of the Xuebing Army is about 121 tons, while the Japanese destroyer has a tonnage of [-] tons.The warship of Yiqianyi is considered a very small class, but at this moment, compared to Dongshan [-], it exists like an adult compared to a child.

"Spread out, prepare to fight," Chen Yuanyang gave an order, and the three gunboats dispersed, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Japanese ships in a zigzag shape.Compared with the Japanese ships, the Xuebing Army Navy is not inferior to the opponent in other aspects except for the tonnage and caliber. In terms of communication means, it is far ahead of the Japanese army.Of course, considering that the Japanese army has only one destroyer, this advantage does not seem to be much comparable.

The fishing boat started to leave at an accelerated speed, and the warship made preparations for the battle. Facing the three ships, Miyamoto couldn't help hesitating whether to fight or not.It is a good thing to win, but what if you lose or even sink?It's not that Miyamoto is afraid of death, but he thinks of a question, what is the real purpose of this Chinese fleet. "Moving people or transporting goods, or armed reconnaissance? No, do the Chinese want to use force against Taiwan?" The ship was sunk, and if the situation cannot be reported to the above, then the possible consequences will be irreparable.

"Captain, please order to fire, the Chinese ship is already in range." An officer below asked for an order to fire, and at this moment, a huge flame suddenly spewed out from a gunboat opposite, and the other party took the lead in opening fire. .There are a total of five guns on Dongshan 121, a 150mm main gun, two 75mm secondary guns and two 30mm machine guns.At the same time, the whole ship is also equipped with quadruple anti-aircraft machine guns.The artillery technology of the Xuebing Army at this time is already slightly ahead of the world, because the steel produced is of good performance, and its artillery has a larger diameter ratio than that of other countries in the same period, so it can shoot farther in range.

There are a total of eleven guns on the Japanese ship, of which there are three main guns, two in the front and three in the rear, with a diameter of 204 mm.

The main gun of Dongshan 121 opened fire first, and the first shell for calibration fell about 50 meters away from the Japanese ship and exploded. Then, the second shell landed on the sea surface behind it and exploded. The violent explosion shocked the Japanese ship. Shaking constantly, Miyamoto immediately realized that although the tonnage of the enemy ships was small, their firepower was not much worse than that of their own.His mind was spinning quickly, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible to get a bargain, so he resolutely ordered to withdraw.

The Japanese ship didn't even turn around and leave without even the demonstrative shelling, and the officers and soldiers on the three gunboats of the Xuebing Army burst into cheers.

"Ha, these little devils are really useless, they ran away without a fight, commander, it seems that our army's combat strength is still good!" Xu Haiquan said to Chen Yuanyang with a smile.

Chen Yuanyang had a worried expression on his face. He first ordered to return to the voyage immediately.Then he said to Xu Haiquan: "You think the little devils are afraid to fight, I think they guessed our army's intentions. Immediately send a power call to Commander Jiang and tell him that the Japanese may have noticed our actions, so let him as soon as possible Transfer to the main island of Taiwan."

"Yes."

The original follow-up plan of "Zhao's Orphan" was that after the successful landing, the troops would be transported to Taiwan Island in batches at night. With the regiment as the unit, all the personnel would be divided into three batches to go to Taiwan Island. The first regiment will go to the forested area south of Taipei, then the second regiment will go to Taichung, and then the third regiment will take the triangular area of ​​Kaohsiung County, Pingtung County, and Taitung County as its activity area.As for Ryukyu Island, only one or two people will be left lurking in the end.The plan couldn't keep up with the changes. After receiving the telegram from Chen Yuanyang and the others, Jiang Dahe immediately told everyone the latest information, and decided to start the plan to cross the sea that night, and once the Japanese army found it, he would fight at all costs.Among them, the three main regiments will be responsible for the main combat missions, while the people from Langya and Hutong will be responsible for escorting the people of the Star Fire Brigade to sneak to Taiwan Island. Let go.

After the combat operations were deployed, Jiang Dahe said solemnly: "Comrades, prepare for battle. As liberators, we must be prepared to shed blood and sacrifice. Comrades, I know that many people do not understand This time, I feel that sending troops to Taiwan at this time is not doing business properly and is arrogant. But I want to say that it is correct for the general headquarters to do so, because only when we take root in Taiwan can we make Taiwan, a permanent ship An unsinkable aircraft carrier cannot attack the coast of Minyueqiong indiscriminately. Only in this way, with the combat power of our student army, can it become a solid barrier to prevent the Japanese army from destroying our country. Comrades, think about our mothers .She will protect us as sons at any time. Even if they are old and frail, if they have something to eat, they will think of us first. And China is the mother of Taiwan. We are here on behalf of the mother, we We must give hope and care to this son of Taiwan... Comrades, let's fight!"

The Japanese responded very quickly. As soon as Kobayashi received the report from Miyamoto, he immediately realized the strangeness and danger of the incident, and immediately sent a notification to various military ports in Taiwan, asking them to organize troops to patrol the coastal areas.

Five hours later, a motorboat sailing from Kaohsiung Harbor docked on the fishing pier of Liuqiu Island, and a small team of devils descended from it. Inspections started.

Ryukyu Island is too small, only about seven square kilometers in area, and the island is so rugged that it is impossible to hide 5000 people.Therefore, when the Spike Special Forces in charge of security had just reported the discovery of the motorboat to Jiang Dahe, he made a decision: wipe out all the devils, seize the motorboat, capture the leading officer, and use The officer tried to fool the Japanese army.

"This is the best solution. Otherwise, if the Japanese find out, they will be able to wipe out our regiment just by dispatching aviation troops." It is different from encouraging the officers below to fight to the death during the meeting. Discuss with Jiang Chuanjun and others in private When it came time to deal with it, Jiang Dahe had already set the tone for outsmarting.

For the situation that the landing troops may encounter, Chu Tiange also made corresponding arrangements. On the day when the "Zhao's Orphan" operation officially started, Baiyunshan Airport dispatched three attack aircraft squadrons to stop at a civilian airport closest to Dongshan. The airport is ready to support Ryukyu Island at any time.

——The first battle to land in Taiwan may start at any time.
