Chapter 44 The Flag of the Japanese Fleet

Chapter 44 Japanese Flag Wind

The "Hitakaze" class destroyer is a multi-purpose guided missile destroyer of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force focusing on air defense. The first ship, the "Hitakaze", was built at the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Nagasaki Shipyard in May 1983 and launched in November 1984.

Commissioned in March, there are 2 ships in active service. They are mainly responsible for completing anti-submarine, fleet escort, ship attack and other tasks... (information)

"I order! The 'Hitakaze-class' destroyers and the 'Hatsuyuki-class' frigates near the offshore drilling platform! Go to the incident site immediately and carefully search for surviving Imperial Japanese soldiers and citizens. I must know the details. Also search nearby areas carefully.

Any suspicious ships found in the sea will be destroyed immediately!" Navy Minister Koizumi Kiichiro is very angry now. He is sure that this must be the work of the People's Liberation Army, but he has no evidence! An unknown explosion occurred on a Japanese oil drilling platform in the East China Sea?! It sank to the bottom of the sea in a moment?

! When the news came, within the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force Staff Supervision Department, Navy Minister Yoshiichiro Koizumi Kiyoshi immediately gave instructions.

Aerial satellite reconnaissance pictures and radar and other technical means are in normal working condition, but there is no evidence that the People's Liberation Army fleet has taken any action. Missile attack? Not likely. There are anti-missile warning facilities on offshore platforms, not to mention that one or two missiles are ineffective.

Completely destroy the offshore drilling platform. Even if it is really attacked by a missile, the Self-Defense Force soldiers and staff stationed on the platform will send a message back to the police. If nothing happens, there will still be time to call for help. An offshore drilling platform is not a trivial matter. This involves the Empire of Japan.

Oil reserves and strategic initiative in the future! Now, he needs detailed information...

"Report Captain! Fleet orders!" A Japanese Navy Self-Defense Force staff officer ran into the captain's room.

"Read!" the captain of the Flag Wind destroyer, Takashi Ito, said one word from his mouth.

"At 01:25 today, a Japanese oil drilling platform in the East China Sea was undergoing operations, but an unknown explosion suddenly occurred. Your ship is ordered to rush to the site of the incident quickly. If you encounter any suspicious ships, destroy them. If you encounter the People's Liberation Army fleet, keep it safe.

Appropriate distance, report immediately. The minimum distance shall not be less than 2 nautical miles!" The ship's staff officer immediately read out loud the order of the Japanese Maritime Defense Ministry's naval fleet.

"Got it! Order the wheel crew! Two into one!" Captain Takashi Ito took a look at the order, confirmed it was correct, picked up the radio and issued the order.

"Yes! Two wheels advance into one!" The wheel crew leader in the cab immediately gave an acceleration command to the engine room!

"Navigation, distance!" Takashi Ito ordered the sailor beside him.

"Captain, the distance is 75 nautical miles. According to the current crossing speed, it will take 2 hours and 15 minutes!" The navigator spread out the chart on the table, calculated the distance and immediately gave the answer.

"Captain, please report the time to arrive at the incident location at 0215?" The ship's combat staff on the side asked the captain, Deputy Takashi Ito, for instructions.

"Please report 0230! There is no need to specify the location of the drilling platform, just specify the location! Read the complete message again!" Takashi Ito thought for a moment and said.

"Report! Imperial Japanese Navy Fleet Headquarters, our ship will arrive at the designated location around 03.45 today!" the combat staff read.

"Captain, do you have anything to add?" the staff officer asked the captain again before preparing to leave.

"Staff officer, it turns out that before I was transferred to the Flag Wind, what kind of weapons would you use to deal with fishing boats from Taiwan and China?" Takashi Ito looked at the chart for a while and suddenly turned around and asked.

"Warn with secondary guns!" the staff officer replied.

"How many rounds do you usually shoot?" Takashi Ito nodded, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, tapped it on the cigarette case and asked again.

"Captain, 36 rounds!" the staff officer thought for a while and gave a number.

"How many rounds do you usually carry on the secondary battery? 36 rounds? That's too few!" Takashi Ito blew out a puff of smoke and said.

"Captain, the two sides only have a slight conflict over territorial waters, so they can only use secondary guns as a warning. If the other side's ship is sunk, it will cause a lot of trouble." The staff officer truthfully reported the situation to the newly arrived officer.

's captain.

"Each gun has 150 rounds, and the main gun must also be ready!" Takashi Ito sneered and said.

"The shells and fuses of the main artillery shells are installed separately. Once installed, it may not be easy to preserve!" The main gun? The staff member said hello in his mind. Is it necessary to use the main gun when encountering a fishing boat? The staff member was probably also surprised and said it.

relieved his worries.

"It's okay, just go back and change it!" Yidong Takazhi said confidently.

"Yes, sir, call the Chief of Ammunition to come up and unseal the 32 fuses. Captain Kawasaki, please go down and implement it and prepare a report!" Only then did the staff officer really realize the seriousness of the matter!

The destroyer "Chu Xue" not far away also received the same order at this time, and the two ships immediately turned their bows and rushed towards the location of the incident.

At ten o'clock in the morning, on the desert island of Za-93, Ye Yangjian saw a warship coming from a distance.

"Cobra, is this our ship?" the veterinarian asked while arranging the equipment. The fog on the sea was still very thick and everyone could still vaguely see the shadow of the ship in the distance.

"Be smart, it's unlikely to be our ship! The evacuation plan is for maritime rescue helicopters, but the higher-ups are not so generous as to send out a fleet!" Ye Yangjian thought for a moment and said.

"Captain, captain! It's an enemy ship!" Cobra said immediately after observing the incoming ship with a telescope.

"Trouble! Hurry! Everyone hides! All unnecessary equipment will be sunk into the sea immediately. The guitarist's radio is given to you, hide it for me! It's up to you whether it can go back!" Ye Yangjian issued the order, and the wolves

Everyone in the team immediately sank all unnecessary equipment into the sea, ran to the back of the stone mountain, and each used their stealth skills to lie down quietly.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The Japanese warships Hikaze and Hatsuyuki arrived too quickly. They had discovered two high-speed small boats with advanced reconnaissance equipment two hours ago. After negotiation, the Hatsuyuki stayed behind.

Rescue and search for valuable clues were carried out at the location where the offshore platform sank. The "Flag Wind" pursued it at full speed at high speed.

"Captain! There is a desert island ahead. There are no suspicious ships nearby. Could it be that they have escaped?" The staff officer of the Flag Wind asked tentatively after observing the stone desert island with a telescope.

"Impossible! The enemy has only two ways to go. One is to pick up the submarine, and the other is to be picked up by a helicopter. But I think both possibilities are unlikely. The electronic reconnaissance equipment of the Imperial Japanese Navy is the best in the world.

The most advanced ones will not be able to find traces of helicopters or submarines." Takashi Ito said firmly.

"Then what should we do now? Where will the enemy be? Is it still on the island? How is this possible?" The staff officer felt that the captain had gone too far. The cause of the explosion of the oil drilling platform has not yet been found out. Unless a large-scale fleet fire attack is carried out, there will be no chance of success.

Can one person blow up an entire oil platform? The staff really didn't believe such a thing could happen. If that were the case, then the People's Liberation Army would be really terrifying. Who among such powerful enemies would go to this desert island to wait for death?

"I wanted to send a combat team to the island to search, but now we are running out of time. This area has entered the territorial waters of China's first island chain. The East China Sea is a gray area that belongs to the dispute between the two countries. Now we have completely entered Chinese waters.

, we must not stay here for long, I estimate that the People's Liberation Army's fleet will catch up soon. Don't use the main guns, too much movement will cause unnecessary trouble. Order the other guns of the ship to open fire immediately!" Yidong Takashi

I looked at my watch and ordered immediately.

"Hi!" Although the staff officer felt that there was no need to bombard this stone mountain, he still obeyed the order and went to make arrangements.

'Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... Bang! Bang! Boom! Boom!' Ye Yangjian's wolf team was hiding behind the undulating slopes of the stone mountain. The Japanese Flagship Wind began.

The continuous bombardment of the island, the continuous dense sound of gunfire crackling and firing outwards, shaking the world, rushing towards the sky, floating in the air! Occasionally, there are the salvos of individual artillery, shaking

The roaring sound of heaven and earth crawled forward, getting closer and closer, filling the deserted islands many miles around.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

With a unique whistling sound, bullets were fired wildly towards the desert island. Many black smoke pillars exploded like a whirlwind on the rugged sandy land with a diameter of about a centimeter, and the sea water was swept by the machine gun.

The bullets scattered and rolled, and water splashed in from the side of the crater...

"Pay attention to cover! Pay attention to cover!" The veterinarian reminded his teammates loudly, but unfortunately his voice was too small amidst the roar of artillery fire.

The black fireworks from the exploding shells swept across the desert island more and more intensely. The shrapnel flew out diagonally, and the piercing screams filled the entire desert island more and more densely. The machine gun fire on the right side of the ship became more and more intense.

Brutally firing, the Qifeng frantically dumped its firepower without leaving any blind spots. The rocks on the stone mountain on the desert island seemed to have been smashed into pieces, turning into small rivers and raindrops drop by drop.

Go back...

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!..." Ye Yangjian held his head in his hands and hid on the back of the rocky mountain, cursing loudly under the cover of the sound of artillery fire. Because of the parabola, the Japanese fired

Artillery shells and machine gun fire could not hit them directly, but the rocks destroyed by the explosion posed a real threat to them. The huge impact of the explosion of the large-caliber ship's secondary gun shook the ground, and Ye Yangjian felt that his ears were numb.

He had lost his hearing and had to open his mouth to relieve the intracranial pressure caused by the violent vibration, otherwise his eardrums might rupture. His mouth was filled with gravel and fly ash and it was so uncomfortable that he had to open his mouth to curse.

"Buddha bless! Buddha bless!" There was no time to look at his brothers. Everyone was struggling to resist the impact of the shell explosion and the flying gravel. They were lying on the ground and could not dare to move. Even the atheist

Like poisonous snakes, they all began to pray for the Tathagata's blessing on the spur of the moment...

The shelling lasted only a few minutes…

"Captain! The radar shows that the People's Liberation Army Navy's East China Sea Fleet has appeared in nearby waters and is approaching us at high speed. The sonar also detected a Chinese submarine secretly approaching. The sonar library analyzed that it is a Chinese 09-class nuclear-powered submarine. We must retreat immediately.

!We must retreat!" The staff officer immediately said to the captain Itto Takashi after receiving the report from the sonar warehouse.

"Damn it! These Chinese people came so fast! Retreat!" Takashi Ito is not a fool. He knows that if he continues to show off his strength and stay here, he is seeking death. He brazenly bombards other countries' territories in other people's territorial waters. The Chinese army can just go without warning.

Attack them directly. Just now he had seen some floating things on the sea through his telescope, which were the remains of a rubber boat that sank in the sea. Although he was unwilling to let the people on the island go, he had no other choice and had to give the order.

retreat……
