Chapter 127 Emergency Unloading

The No. 22 torpedo boat was extremely frustrated and exploded into pieces without even making a whine!

For his small body, it was like a 76mm high-explosive bomb that was like a killer weapon, and it could even penetrate the hull if it was not careful. Therefore, after shattering the bridge with one hit, Yang Hao asked Jiao Hai to turn around the hull with a little distress and use the 40mm Bofos cannon behind to fire.

The Bofos rapid-fire gun, which can be used to fire subsonic aircraft, swept over more than a dozen shells. At a distance of only more than a thousand meters, the No. 22 torpedo boat was evenly and stably opened from beginning to end.

The flames generated by the explosion churned on the sea for a few minutes and disappeared with the sinking of the wreckage. At that time, x201 had quietly avoided more than 10 kilometers away, turned on the radar, and quietly scanned the surrounding sea surface.

After waiting for half of his time to disappear, he did not see any subsequent ships coming to rescue. This disappointed Yang Hao, who was originally preparing to continue to attack the slap. He was also thinking about showing off his skills and was trying to ruthlessly ruthlessly to a certain main warship. Unfortunately, the Japanese did not cooperate.

Jiao Hai expressed his incomprehension about his fantasy and reminded him seriously: "Without our advanced communication devices, it usually takes a long time for naval warfare from planning to outbreak. And since the steam era entered, there has been no large-scale naval warfare in the world. I think, maybe the battle today is probably the biggest one."

When Yang Hao thought about it, he seemed to be true. It seemed that in this world, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 was a world-class sea confrontation, and it was representative in the Steam Iron Armor era. And the Japanese Navy also defeated the Russians this time and the next time they entered the territory of a world power as a winner.

But now, this possibility will not come again.

Scratching his scalp, Yang Hao sighed: "Okay, then let's not wait for the rabbit. Continue to scout south and see where the little Japanese hides in."

From the other party's method of sending speedboats, it can be judged that the Japanese were probably already suspicious of the war in the north. As long as they accurately determine the time for sailing back and forth, they will naturally be able to respond correctly. Now he must determine where the ship started.

Thinking of this, Yang Hao regretted that he had a great time fighting just now. He forgot to hold back, but he didn't even leave a prisoner. Besides... it seems that there is no talent on the boat who is proficient in Japanese!

Forget it, just rely on your own eyes to discover it.

His troubles did not last long. He only sailed south for more than ten kilometers. The radar detected the echoes of a large group of warships. Especially a warship parked outside the mountain port to cruising and guarding, the signal was particularly obvious. Under the current circumstances, the group could only be the Japanese Joint Navy at once.

Yang Hao immediately called Yang Haiwei to report the situation.

From here to the battle site, the journey is 150 nautical miles back and forth. The torpedo boats sent by the Japanese army. If nothing unexpected happens, it only takes 8 hours to fight back and forth. The two hours it has taken, that is to say, in another six hours, the main force of the Japanese army will find an abnormality and then launch an anchor group to dispatch it!

Even if they attack at a speed of 12 knots, the Japanese army will arrive outside the waters of Fengdao tomorrow morning. Before that, the troop transport ships must be unloaded and the escort fleet must return together. Otherwise, it is very likely that they will be blocked by the Japanese brigade!

With only two ships "Dingyuan" and "Laiyuan", even if an armed cargo ship "Dongming" is added, he is absolutely unsure of fighting a prepared opponent!

Not to mention, the escaped "Yoshino" and "Akizushi" may make a comeback at any time.

After listening to it, Yang Haiwei pondered for a moment and used the instructions to let Yang Hao continue to monitor the Japanese army. Turning back, he notified Liu Buchan with the news. At this time, the escort team composed of four ships had just entered the Fengdao waters, and it was almost an hour away from the unloading location Yashan Bay.

When entering Fengdao waters, the underwater terrain begins to be complex and changeable, with reefs in a row, and the waterways are narrow and dangerous. Therefore, most of the time, ships are not willing to sail here at night.

Yang Haiwei's ship had sonar on it, and in addition, he had studied the sea conditions on the Goryeo Peninsula and even the entire coast of China earlier. He was unstoppable and guided other ships to drive carefully in with lights. The road was safe and smooth.

Liu Buchan didn't know where Yang Haiwei got the exact news, but he still chose to believe it. When he thought that he had only left him for less than nine hours, he suddenly had a headache.

He asked someone to take it to the "Dongming" in a small boat, and watched the turret all the way, exchanged greetings with several army leaders, and finally came to the command room.

At the first glance, he smelled a scent of his companionship from the other party. This made him feel more and more mysterious. However, it was not the time to dig the roots and dig the ground. After a brief exchange, he frankly expressed his difficulties: "We do not have enough barges! If we want to transport all three thousand people, horses, guns and cannons ashore, it will not be enough for a day! What should we do?"

He was really overwhelmed! According to the news he got before departure, there were only 30 barges available at Yashan Bay at this moment, and it would take several hours to transport people and equipment from the bay upstream along the river. In a day, it would be not slow to unload one-third of them.

Therefore, at the beginning, Li Hongzhang once wanted to transport people in three batches. It was just because the situation was urgent that he had to come up with this bad plan.

Yang Haiwei smiled faintly at this: "Don't worry about Liu Junmen. The Flying Whale has eight small boats, and the ship also has twelve, which is another twenty. If the small boats on the two warships also join the action, and if a little squeeze is squeezed, it can more than double the speed of transportation."

Liu Buchan still frowned: "That's not enough. It's nine hours, and the difference is more than half."

Yang Haiwei said: "We can send people ashore first, and then try to transport them by land. Although it is a little troublesome, it is enough to ensure fast and safe."

Liu Buchan's eyes lit up: "Do you have a way?"

Yang Haiwei nodded affirmatively. He led the way and came to a warehouse below. The sailor opened the hatch door and carried out a piece of shrunken thing from it.

Liu Buchan was confused and asked in surprise: "What is this? It doesn't look like a ship!"

Yang Haiwei made a gesture, and the sailor immediately used an electric inflatable pump to blow up the thing, which was a PVC material charge boat with an aluminum alloy hard bottom!

"This kind of boat can transport 8 people at a time. It uses a gasoline engine and can reach 20 knots. If it is just used to get back and forth, it will be fine if it runs five or six times in an hour."

“So convenient?!”

Liu Buchan was overjoyed. When landing on the boat, the most troublesome thing was the bay to the shore. Most of the places were shallow reefs that barges could not get close to, let alone huge ships.

He couldn't help but step forward, touched Guanghua's surface, and asked with his eyes lit up: "How many small boats do you have like this?"

"Fifty!" Yang Haiwei slapped.

Liu Buchan hit the left hand with his right fist: "It's OK! With you and other small boats, you can concentrate on transporting people's hands and quickly complete the landing of personnel. As for horses and cannons, as long as you feed, you can drive directly to the Hekou Wharf with barges and go along with two routes, and you can complete it quickly."

He paced back and forth several times excitedly, and finally turned back to Yang Haiwei and said meaningfully: "Captain Yang's preparations are appropriate! All the details have been taken care of."

Yang Haiwei smiled faintly: "I am used to taking into account all possible problems in advance. This way, I will not be panicked or helpless."

"What a thoughtful thought! Liu opened his eyes today!"

Liu Buchan had to say the word "super": look at his busy and chaotic response, and then look at his stable situation from beginning to end. The gap is really big and unreasonable.

He didn't ask if there was too much, and immediately asked officers such as Jiang Zikang to dispatch personnel to help lift all the charge boats out. Anyway, there were plenty of open space on the deck of the ship, and all fifty were more than enough to spread them out. All of them were pumped with air pumps, and the engine brackets were installed, and all motorcycle engines were mounted one by one.

In front, Yashan Bay Pier is also far away.

All ships were anchored one after another, and fifty charge boats fell into the water. All were driven by sailors of the "Dongming", and soldiers carrying guns and ammunition were removed from each other in a large net, and then rushed to the beach to transport them to the shore.

The two large booms on the ship also ran their full strength, unloading the large bags of bags of supplies, food, cannons, horses, etc. to the shipboard ship, and speeding upstream transportation upstream.

Thanks to the sufficient power of the "Dongming" and the long-range headlights shone onto the sea from the main mast and the bridge tower, it was so clear that it was clear. Liu Buchan and Qiu Baoren then understood why Yang Hao teased that the "Laiyuan" was not strong enough. The two searchlights that they thought were powerful were much worse than any one on the ship!

The brightness of the spotlight of "Laiyuan" is only 40,000 candlelights, which is equivalent to 10 bright flashlights...

More than an hour later, thirty barges rushed from the upstream and joined the transfer sequence. As a result, the efficiency of the entire work increased significantly.

The noise here was too loud, especially the lights were brightly lit, and in the dark, it could be seen clearly between forty kilometers. The Japanese army had already occupied Incheon Wharf, and there were ships wandering around the nearby waters. The spies set up on several islands in the bay were all alarmed.

So, three hours after the battle ended, earlier than expected, the joint fleet in Qunshan Harbor received an emergency telegram!

The telegrams on land were smooth and it did not take too long when they were sent to the "Matsushima". When Ito Yuyuki saw it, he immediately jumped up: "No! The Qing troop ship arrived safely, and there were even giant ships in the sea. The first guerrillas failed to intercept! If they had not encountered it, they would have been defeated and forced to pass!" (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
