Chapter 503 National Competition (13)

Fulongchang is a larger shipping company in Tianjin. People familiar with it know that this company has some connection with Wang Shizhen, one of the three old Beiyang masters at that time. After the old Beiyang, led by him, was swept off the stage, they started business and commerce one after another. Especially after the Chengcheng Act, land income sharply decreased, prompting gentry from all over the country to develop into the capital market. In addition, the aftermath of the European war has not yet completely subsided, and national construction has continued to be booming. After the market prospects are promising, they can make a lot of money, becoming a force to promote the development of the north.

Ship 3 is the 4,600-ton offshore bulk cargo ship under Fulongchang name. It is an offshore ship developed and designed by Jiangnan Factory in 1917. Now it is hanging the national flag and the logo of the Fulongchang Cargo Store, riding the wind and waves and heading east at full speed.

Minami Sajiro's eyes were kept glancing around, and he had almost never closed his eyes since he left Zhengzhou. Since China and Japan currently have only three navigation points, Lushun, Yantai and Shanghai, Japanese ships cannot enter the Bohai Sea without authorization, so the Japanese Intelligence Department bought the ship through various relationships to transport the finished metallurgical materials back. This was an attempt. If this trip was smoothly undiscovered, it would mean that a secret transportation channel from Siberia to the Far East was opened. If it failed, it would mean that it would cost a lot and risk entering the Persian Gulf and even the Black Sea, which were traditional British and French territories, in order to continue to obtain the urgently needed strategic resources from the hands of the poor. The road behind this road is not easy to walk and it is likely to touch the interests of allies, so Japan is particularly concerned about this transportation. In addition, it is all finished products such as tungsten and molybdenum in the name of cruising North Korea, so it was specially sent to the Okama cruiser and other cruisers outside the Bohai Strait to protect it in the high sea areas outside the Bohai Strait.

"Look...there is the Temple Island Island in front of it!"

A string of pearl-like islands in front made Naka Nobuda cry out happily. Minami Saojiro breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it. He just crossed the Miaodao Islands. Even if he left the inland sea and entered the Yellow Sea, although he might be subjected to a patrol ship in Lushun direction, the Haizi Ship is a relatively fast cargo ship. The Anma Navy can escape after being entangled for a while. No matter how bad it is, he can transfer to Incheon Port and return from North Korea.

The long journey that took thousands of kilometers and months was about to reach the end, which made everyone involved in the operation breathe a sigh of relief. Nobuda Ori Nagata, who was only 20 years old, waved his fists hard to express his inner excitement. When he and his friends made a few jokes and turned their eyes back toward him, this glance seemed to be like August Tian’s ice water covers his face pouring down towards him, and the cold air in the soles of his feet suddenly rushed to his brain!

"The Chinese Coast Guard patrol steamboat (speedboat)!"

Next to the island, three seagull-class speedboats with lm speedboats as templates suddenly rushed out from behind the island like elves. This offshore speedboat with a modern appearance has been enlarged to 50 tons and started mass production. The Navy alone placed nearly 100 torpedo orders. The National Guard even purchased 122 ships in one go for customs patrols and anti-smuggling pursuits. Half of the 3,000 aircraft engine spoils obtained after the victory of the European War were used to produce them and as engine spare parts.

There were no torpedoes on the speedboat of the Coast Guard, and there was not even a rapid-fire gun. There was only a later-generation m2hb 12.7mm poisonous heavy machine gun with shields. Because this machine gun was very popular in the European war, Britain, the United States and France alone placed orders of more than 20,000 yuan. However, the end of the war caused Europe and the United States to save money, and they would rather lose the deposit than cancel the remaining half of the orders. In order to recover the losses of the company, the Ministry of Defense bought all the completed 2,711 yuan, which led to the machine gun being equipped with a large number of troops. As for the Browning, who originally designed it, could only hide at home and draw circles to curse "pirated versions".

The anti-smuggling speedboat flying in the shape of a Pin made Nanzaojiro anxious. Seeing that the other party was heading straight for him, he obviously came prepared! Seeing that victory was in sight, no one was willing to stop at this time, so he gritted his teeth and asked, "How far is it?"

“25 nautical miles!”

"Send telegram to the Poon Horse, be prepared to rush over."

Amid the shouts of Minamitsujiro, the Japanese sailor immediately took out his hidden rifle and other weapons to resist to the end, and even he himself held the revolver tightly.

"Stop the ship, check..." The speedboat quickly approached. He circled a large circle and moved in parallel and quickly approached. The Shanghai police on the deck grabbed the railing to prevent the tide from falling, while shaking the flag of the stop. However, the shouting and flag words failed to stop the ship. Instead, they saw it suddenly turn the rudder and crashed into the close-range patrol boat. This action scared the guards on the patrol boat to death, and the deck was even more cursing. Fortunately, the patrol speedboat was flexible and quickly ruddered. After pulling out a huge arc wave, they quickly avoided it. After pulling the distance, the sailors finally calmed down and realized that the information might be true. There must be smuggling contraband on it, so they rolled up their sleeves to curse: "Avoid...bastard! Machine gun, warning shot..."

Seeing the speedboat twisting the machine gun, Naka Noda Ori was just beginning to be nervous, and a small column of water aroused from the sea in the bow of the ship, followed by a sound of clattering fire. A speedboat near the right side opened fire warningly, and a string of 12.7mm machine gun bullets swept across the deck and landed in front. The harsh machine gun sound made Naka Noda Ori couldn't help but go to see Minami Sajiro. After all, he was just a student studying in Russia before, and this time he joined the action entirely out of his dream of building a powerful empire.

The first time he encountered this kind of scene made him very nervous. But Minamitsujiro had experienced too much and knew that it was almost impossible to sink a ship by heavy machine guns. Moreover, the cruiser was only 25 nautical miles away from entering the public, so he ordered that he continue to move forward regardless of the threat, trying to break through the encirclement and suppression by relying on the ship, and asked the sailors to take out the hidden rifles and not let the speedboat approach. Faced with the madly fleeing sea ship, the sailors of the Coast Guard were obviously angry, and the captain ordered the muzzle to turn around and shoot the bridge.

Nakada Ori and everyone were so scared that they squatted down, and the helmsman even squatted and controlled the ship to rush towards the strait like an injured beast. Three machine guns kept firing on the sea ships. Although they hit a lot but did not have armor-piercing incendiary bombs, they were indeed a little helpless in dealing with such targets. In addition, the boat was small and could not board the ship before the other party was stalled, and the above told them to try to detain the ship. Therefore, they could only repeatedly chase the machine gun and shoot the upper layer, hoping to kill the injured people and force them to stop.

Even so, the bullets that were sprinkled like rainstorms at close range still made countless bullet holes in the superstructure of the No. 3 wheel. The bullet hit the steel plate and jingled it. Naka Nobuda Orito mustered up the courage to pick up a rifle to fight everyone to the end. A 12.7 bullet hit the partner next to him accurately. The bullet penetrated from his waist, and the force of tearing actually broke the body from here! The blood and intestines could not control the water flowed all over the ground! The young Naka Nobuda Orito was stunned. The excitement was so great! He never thought that the real battlefield was like this. He was so scared that he hid in the corner with his gun in his arms, and he didn't even have the courage to look outside.

But the casualties could not stop Minami Saojiro, who was about to succeed, directed the cargo ship to rush left and right toward the high seas outside the strait. As time passed, a speedboat even rushed to the front and fired violently towards the bridge. Just as the situation became more and more unfavorable, a sailor suddenly shouted: "Look..." The smoke was rolling on the sea level. As if something was about to emerge from below, a moment later, the huge body of the Okama cruiser jumped out of the sea level. After seeing it, Minami Saojiro and everyone screamed excitedly, but the voice was just released and the two destroyers rushed out of the thorns were pressed into their throats!

"Chinese destroyer!"

Two large destroyers of the first fleet, Changfeng-class, suddenly rushed over from the right side, and with a high-speed bow of 30 knots, they quickly rushed over. As an intelligence officer, Minami Sajiro certainly knew this new destroyer that was launched three years ago. It had a standard displacement of 2,200 tons and had three twin 12-mm guns, which was not something that a small seaship could not stop. In front were two destroyers that could not escape, and there were three speedboats on the left and right to chase them. Even the north wind huhu Nan Sajiro was sweating profusely. Looking at the backward Anthra and the bridge full of bullet holes, he decided to use the last method.

"Captain, they have raised the Japanese flag!"

During the reminder of the Navigation Commander, a Japanese flag was quickly raised on the No. 3 Ship. Minamitsujiro tried to show his identity in this way, so that his opponent would be worried about his heart and dare not fire and take the opportunity to escape. But there was something he didn't expect that this game had been controlled by others, so not only were the two Changfeng-class destroyers from the Second Fleet, but also the Major Bingwen, who also served as the captain of the Beifeng destroyer after returning to China. Bingwen glanced at the raised Japanese flag and sneered in his heart, wanting to seek help in this way... He really underestimated himself.

"The right rudder speed is 30° and 20 knots. Maintain the boiler pressure and let the Sea Breeze move with our ship. Let the speedboat leave temporarily, all gun positions are ready for combat, and torpedo preparations..."

In the low voice, the two Changfeng-class destroyers quickly deflected their bows and blocked Minamizajiro's route with their steel bodies. At the same time, six twin main guns quickly locked in the Okama cruiser. This series of challenging actions caused the chasing Okama bridge to scold.

"Baga! This is a provocation of the Chinese Navy!"

"His Excellency Dazuo, you should attack immediately and rescue our ship."

The Japanese officers on the Okama were excited. They had never been so angry in more than 20 years! They were actually blocked the channel of their own ships by two destroyers much smaller than themselves! But they completely forgot that at this time, Minami Sajiro was still in the Chinese territorial waters, and that ship was not a registered ship in Japan. Captain Yoshioka Fumise was also gloomy and was so angry that he cursed. These Chinese people really regarded themselves as the boss of the Far East. If they defeated a bunch of mud-legged stupid donkeys, they thought they could defeat the Japanese Navy?

However, he was finally calmer than the officers. After all, Lushun Port is close at hand, and the other two Anhai-class battlecruisers are stationed here, and there are several cruisers to help. If they really fight, the Anma will definitely not be able to escape. So the officer stopped shouting: "Send a signal to them. In front of me, the civil ships of the Great Japanese Empire, let them leave immediately."

"Captain, the Japanese cruiser wants us to release people. The cargo ship is still rushing here, with a distance of 13,000 meters and is expected to enter the secondary gun range in 5 minutes." The navigator of the Beifeng is also a non-commissioned officer in the Navy of Germany. After experiencing the Arctic Ocean and the journey around most of the world, not only has the navigation technology been tested, but it has also become fully mature psychologically. However, when he saw the Summer Horse, which is nearly eight times larger than him, slowly raising his muzzle. However, Bingwen, who had participated in the Jutland Ore Naval Battle and slowly escaping with the Seidlitz, has entered a state of combat, and some data of the Summer Horse has also emerged quickly.

Standard 14,600 tons, full load of 15,500 tons, equipped with 2 double-connected L45 305mm main guns, 4 double-connected L45 203mm second-level main guns, 12 single-mounted L40/120mm secondary guns, 4 single-mounted 76mm rapid-fire guns, and there are 3 457mm torpedo tubes underwater under the bow. Judging from tonnage and firepower, the Changfeng-class destroyer is completely incomparable to it, and the opponent's waterline is mainly armored up to 178 mm, and the commander tower is even 228 mm. There is no chance to engage in a naval artillery battle with the other party, and it is even difficult to fire a torpedo. But as a

The old generation of armored cruisers has a big and small fatal hole! That is the torpedo tube underwater on the bow. Due to the counterweight problem and it is underwater, it is impossible to see clearly, so no designer will only use thick armor at this position. Armored cruisers like the Saddle Horse are only 76mm at most. At this time, the launch tube should have been filled with live ammunition and entered into combat state. His l50 120mm naval gun uses armor-piercing shells to have a great chance to penetrate and detonate the torpedo! Of course, it is still a bit dangerous to get close. After all, the main gun and the second-level secondary gun are not a joke, and one is enough to sink the destroyer.

Adventure, danger, but if you succeed, you will get a lot of rewards! Because it is less than 40 kilometers away from Lushun, as long as the ship enters water, it means it will not leave. However, even if you can't break through, this armored cruiser with a speed of only 22 knots will definitely not escape the pursuit of the two Anhai-class ships that have already raised their fire and anchors to wait for attack. So he suddenly smiled and waved his hand easily: "Send a signal! Tell the Japanese that they have entered our territorial waters and let them get out immediately!"

"Get out? Captain, are you more implicit?" The Navigator scratched his head.

Bingwen turned his head and smiled slightly: "When you are provoking trouble, do you still have to be polite and ask for it?"

The navigator stood attentively and saluted, holding his head up and reiterated the order: "Yes! Send a signal. You have invaded our territorial waters. Slow down and get out immediately, otherwise you will sink! Repeat three times."

Get out? Sink!

The signal made Yoshioka Fumise directly irritated his nose, and the Suzakura even more angry and swung the cannon...

ps: Apologize to everyone. Yesterday and today had two chapters, but last night I wrote well, but my best friend found the HD seeds of the biggest action movie of the year... It was the one who went all the way to the West. What everyone knows is that they were overly excited, busy up and down to download it at 1:00 a.m., and secretly brought their headphones to watch it at 3:00 a.m.... It caused them to get up at 7:00 a.m., dozing off during the day, and being late and being deducted money... Tragedy, I will never watch it again next time! By the way, I despise the Hong Kong film and television industry, and said that the movies should be internationalized, and actually ignored one-quarter of the world's population and used Cantonese dialogue...

It's hateful!
