I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 550

Several traffic boats were put down by Jingtao, and the boats were full of armed sailors with live ammunition.

The armed sailors easily boarded the USS Jones, which did not dare to resist, and took control of the US destroyer and the US troops on board.

"Are you Japanese?" Major Walter gritted his teeth as if waking up from a dream, "You are too despicable!"

Yu Chaobai was stunned, he wanted to laugh secretly, but he didn't mind being misunderstood as a Japanese by the other party: "Now, please use your ship's radio station and your communication code to send a telegram to those two destroyers of yours , ask them to immediately stop launching torpedoes on the West Virginia!"

Major Walter's face was tense, and he said nothing and did not move.

Yu Chaobai made a gesture, and the armed sailors of the Jingtao who boarded the Jones put their guns on the heads of the crew of the Jones.

"If you don't agree, I'll kill your subordinates immediately!" Yu Chaobai threatened, "I'll only give you three seconds, one, two!"

"OK! ok!" Major Walter had to succumb to the opponent's "pretentious power". He suppressed the resentment and pain in his heart, and ordered the signal crew of the Jones to shoot at the Hobby and the West Virginia, which were about to launch torpedoes. The Meade sent a request to "stop launching torpedoes immediately, please."

Although the Hobby and the Meade did not know what happened, and Major Walter had no command over the two destroyers, both ships suspended their torpedo launches against the West Virginia due to doubts, and at the same time sent a telegram to the Jones : "Call the Jones, why stop? What happened?"

"You want to seize the West Virginia?" Major Walter understood thoroughly.

"Yes!" Yu Chaobai nodded and admitted, "It's such a pity to sink such a good warship!"

Major Walter immediately hated the "Japanese captain who should really go to hell" in front of him: "Despicable!"

The Hobby and the Meade seemed to find that something was wrong with the Jones. The two ships sailed towards the Jones and the Surging Wave in suspicion and vigilance, and kept calling: "Jones, what happened to your ship?" What happened to the ship next to your ship?"

Yu Chaobai forced Major Walter to send a telegram again: "Tell the two destroyers that our ship encountered a neutral ship, and the other party helped us rescue many people who fell into the water. In addition, when our ship and this neutral ship were receiving personnel, There is a collision, please come and help!"

When Major Walter had to give in again, Yu Chaobai immediately ordered: "Aim the torpedo tubes at those two American ships!"

Major Walter couldn't understand Chinese (and he thought Yu Chaobai was speaking Japanese), but he knew when he saw the torpedo tubes on the Stormy Tide turning and targeting the Hobie and Meade What was Yu Chaobai going to do? Extreme anger made him furious. He desperately wanted to send a warning to the Hobie and the Meade, but an armed sailor from the Stormy Wave behind him knocked him unconscious with a gun butt fell to the ground.

The two twin-mounted torpedo tubes on the bow and stern of the Jingtao were aimed at the Hobby and the Meade respectively. The ship launched two torpedoes, and four torpedoes roared away like arrows leaving the string, and they were all Japanese Type 1000 oxygen torpedoes.

The Type 93 oxygen torpedo is the most powerful torpedo with the best comprehensive performance in the world at this time. Its maximum effective killing distance is as high as 48 meters, and its fastest speed is as high as 490 knots.

Jingtao launched this torpedo at a distance of 2000 meters, which was completely shooting stones and drinking feathers.

"Boom--! Boom--!" Two loud explosions exploded like thunder on the sea with an interval of two or three seconds. The Hobie and the Meade were not only defenseless, but also almost shocked The Tao's torpedo was hit, and all four torpedoes hit. Since the Hobby and the Meade were attacked when they were heading towards the Stormy Wave, the bow was hit by the torpedo, and both ships were bombed. The bow of the ship was lost, and the front half of the smaller half of the warship was blown to pieces, sinking as quickly as a beer bottle whose cap was knocked off.

Yu Chaobai put down the binoculars, and smiled ecstatically with relief. He suppressed the excitement in his heart, and ordered: "Quick! Send someone aboard the West Virginia! Raise our country's flag on it... no, hoist Raise the plaster flag of Little Japan!" He issued an order to raise the sun flag, firstly to confirm that "this was done by the Japanese", and secondly to prevent the West Virginia from being attacked by Japanese carrier-based aircraft.

When the crew of Jingtao completed this task, the carrier-based aircraft group that the Japanese army carried out the second wave of strikes on the US battleship fleet happened to fly in. After seeing this scene, the Japanese pilots in the air couldn't believe their eyes, and they couldn't believe that the US military ship The "Sun Flag of the Empire" was raised on the battleship, and then they saw an auxiliary cruiser of the Chinese Navy and a U.S. destroyer that also raised the sun flag were towing the West Virginia towards Hawaii.

At the same time, the destroyers Jiang Weiguo and Zijinshan had arrived. These two warships were originally towing the Japanese Mutsu and Kaga back to Hawaii. As a result, the Mutsu and Kaga sank halfway, and they also Nothing to do, so I folded back.

That night, Xu Zushan, Huang Wentian and others greeted the triumphant return of the Jingtao at Pearl Harbor. This auxiliary cruiser created a miracle in the history of naval warfare. It sank two US destroyers alone and captured a US battleship and A destroyer, the glory of the battle results is comparable to the German "SMS Sea Eagle" in World War I.

"How are you, Jun seat and co seat? Isn't the Jingtao powerful?" Yu Chaobai was triumphant.

Xu Zushan was full of joy: "Awesome! Really amazing! You are our Chinese Count Felix von Luckner (the captain of the "sms Sea Eagle")!" He looked at the hilly West Virginia, "This battleship is our army's second biggest gain!"

"The second largest?" Yu Chaobai was surprised and unconvinced, "Isn't it the first? What is the first?"

Xu Zushan showed a mysterious smile: "You will know right away!"

Chapter 634 Rich Harvest (4)

The Japanese and American armies were engaged in a major war, and the Chinese army was a spectator sitting on the sidelines and watching the battle. According to common sense, it is difficult for the Chinese army to grasp the situation of the battle. The reason is clear at a glance: the Chinese army is in a delicate situation. I don’t want to help the Japanese army, but I’m not considered a neutral country, so I can’t send military observers to both sides of the war, and the Chinese army has no planes, and lacks reconnaissance means. As the saying goes, “The authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear.” The Chinese army is both and neither. Naturally, they will fall into the situation of looking at the flowers in the fog. On the other hand, even the Japanese or American troops do not know the whole situation of the war. War is not like playing chess. Sexual advantage, otherwise it will also fall into the fog.

The truth is that the Chinese army that did not participate in the war probably knew the situation of the war better than the Japanese and American troops that participated in the war.

Xu Zushan, Huang Wentian and other high-level Chinese officials obtained information from the Japanese and American militaries through two channels. One was the three warships sent to "help" the Japanese army. The three captains kept sending telegrams to Xu Zushan to report the latest battle situation. As for the other channel, it leads to the US military.

The U.S. Pacific Fleet Intelligence Analysis Center on Oahu is much more "lively" than usual at this time, because a large number of Nanjing troops are here on guard with murderous intent, and the original owners here are all grimaced at this time and are being pointed at gunpoint. become captives of their new masters.

In the hall, Chen Ruizheng, head of the Hawaii Station of the Maritime Statistics Bureau, is sitting comfortably on a leather seat, looking at the original owner of the seat, the director of the Intelligence Analysis Department of the US Pacific Fleet Command, who is already a prisoner. Lieutenant Colonel Logan Ramsey.

"Lieutenant Colonel!" Chen Rui said with a smile, "Your chair is very nice, it's really comfortable to sit on. Would you mind giving it to me?"

Lieutenant Colonel Ramsey forced a bitter smile: "Of course!" He spread his hands, "We are already your captives, and everything we have is already yours!"

"Yes, including your lives!" Chen Rui nodded, "Lieutenant Colonel, can you do me a favor?"

"If I could do it, I'd help!"

"Very good!" Chen Rui nodded approvingly again, "You are the chief intelligence officer of the Pacific Fleet. Now, the war has just broken out. I believe that your fleet has not changed the new radio communication password, so please use the The radio station and the Pacific Fleet communication code in your head, help us contact your 8th Fleet that is operating near Hawaii!"

Lieutenant Colonel Ramsay was taken aback, he seemed to understand the other party's intentions, he took a deep breath, made up his mind, and then replied in a firm tone: "Sorry, I can't do this.

I can surrender to you, but I will not take refuge in you, I am just a prisoner, not a traitor, let alone your spy!"

Chen Rui laughed: "What do you think we are going to do?"

Lieutenant Colonel Ramsay replied: "Let me use the communication code of the Pacific Fleet to send your carefully fabricated false information to our fleet, so that the fleet will fall into your intelligence trap and then be wiped out by you! "

Chen Rui gave a thumbs up: "You are very smart, but your guess is wrong.

We are Chinese, not Japanese, so we have no intention of helping the Japanese win this naval battle. We just want to know how this naval battle is going, how much the Japanese army and the US military have lost, and that's all.

In the final analysis, we invaded your American territory with the Japanese, how the Japanese are fighting, and how the Americans are fighting are closely related to us, we just want to know the result and don't want to interfere!"

Lieutenant Colonel Ramsay looked at Chen Rui suspiciously.

Chen Rui spread his hands: "If I ask you to send a telegram message that is not good for your fleet, it will not be too late for you to refuse, right? Please work now! Don't forget, you and your subordinates are now He is our prisoner, we don't want to embarrass you, and please cooperate with us as much as possible.

We are soldiers, not thugs, and we don't want unnecessary bloodshed, but that doesn't mean we won't kill!"

Lieutenant Colonel Ramsey looked at the scene and saw that his subordinates were panicking and trembling under the guns of the Nanjing Army at this time. He knew the truth that people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and he sighed and sat on the radio station. forward.

Chen Rui looked at Huang Wentian who was sitting on another chair beside him, and Huang Wentian smiled approvingly.

"Task Force Eighth, this is the Intelligence Analysis Center of the Pacific Fleet Command, can you receive it? If so, please call back; Task Force Eighth, this is the Intelligence Analysis Center of the Pacific Fleet Command, can you receive it? If so, please call back;..." Lieutenant Colonel Ramsey kept calling the 8th US Task Force according to Chen Rui's request.

After a while, a reply came from the radio: "This is the Eighth Task Force, we can receive it, please announce your identity!"

"I'm Lieutenant Colonel Logan Ramsey, Director of Intelligence Analysis!"

"This is the Lexington, please inform us about the situation in Hawaii!"

Lieutenant Colonel Ramsey looked at Chen Rui. This kind of reply must be instructed and agreed by the Nanjing Army, and he couldn't say anything casually.

Chen Rui looked at Huang Wentian, Huang Wentian thought for a while, and said: "Tell the truth, otherwise the Eighth Fleet will not believe it. They must have become vigilant. Of course, don't speak too carefully!"

According to Huang Wentian's instructions, Lieutenant Colonel Ramsey replied: "The Japanese have launched a landing in Hawaii and occupied the entire territory of Hawaii, including Oahu, to protect Pearl Harbor. Admiral Kimmel committed suicide. Admiral and Governor Steinbuck have announced their surrender, and almost all the warships of the Pacific Fleet anchored in Pearl Harbor were destroyed or captured by the Japanese, and we suffered heavy losses!"

After a minute of silence, the U.S. Eighth Fleet replied: "Are you all under the control of the Japanese?"

Lieutenant Colonel Ramsey looked at Chen Rui and Huang Wentian, and then replied according to the instructions: "Basically all of them, but there are also many people who are still fighting, including us. We have now retreated to the mountains in central Oahu. The Japanese are besieging us, many of us are dead or wounded, we are in desperate need of reinforcements, manpower, weapons, ammunition, medicine, we need your help badly.

Are you here to take back Hawaii?How much longer do we have to hold on? "

The radio station was silent again. Obviously, Lieutenant Colonel Ramsey's last two questions were suspected of being "formal." In order to believe it, he replied: "I'm really sorry, we don't bring marine troops. Even if we defeat the Japanese fleet at sea, we can't land in Hawaii, so we can't help you at the moment!"

"Very good!" Huang Wentian nodded, "They believed it!"

Then, the U.S. Eighth Fleet inquired about the strength and movements of the Japanese army. Lieutenant Colonel Ramsey sent "valuable but limited and ambiguous information" according to Huang Wentian's instructions.

Huang Wentian did this. First of all, if the US military is notified of the detailed information of the Japanese army, the Chinese army will be tantamount to betraying the Japanese army and "colluding with the US military." Although the Chinese army does not care about doing such a thing, it is also for its own benefit. At present, if the Chinese army "helps" the US army to defeat the Japanese army, it is obviously not beneficial to the Chinese army. Secondly, the identity of Lieutenant Colonel Ramsey at this time is "the remnant of the US army who is hiding in the mountainous area of ​​central Oahu and persists in resisting." Personnel", he certainly does not know the precise Japanese military intelligence, if he sends precise Japanese military intelligence to the US military, it will appear suspicious.

Because "one foot is on two boats", the Chinese army is very clear about the situation of the Japanese and American troops.

The Japanese army and the U.S. military continued to fight fiercely, but the battle was just as Xu Zushan, Huang Wentian and others expected. The U.S. military was unable to counterattack Hawaii, and only counterattacked the Japanese army "in order to export evil spirits."

During the day, the Japanese army suffered first, sinking an aircraft carrier and a battleship, and the Japanese army launched a counterattack immediately, because the Japanese army had discovered the location of the US aircraft carrier fleet. To make up for the loss of the Mutsu and Kaga, Nagumo Chuichi and Ozawa Jisaburo ordered the carrier-based aircraft group to attack the US aircraft carrier again, and the US military retreated at full speed while parrying with all their strength.

As night fell again, Lieutenant Colonel Ramsey received a signal from the 8th Fleet: "Are you still there?"

Chen Rui asked Lieutenant Colonel Ramsey to reply: "We are still fighting, but the number is getting smaller and smaller.

How are you?Did you win? "

The U.S. 8th Fleet replied: "We didn't win, we fought a tie with the Japanese, we killed one of their aircraft carriers and one battleship, they also eliminated one of our battleships, captured one of our battleships, and we Another aircraft carrier was also forced to sink itself, and the damage was too serious.

USS Lexington, USS Saratoga, USS Yorktown, USS Enterprise, and USS Hornet were all injured in the counterattack of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft in the afternoon. Enterprise was the most seriously injured, and its power system was completely paralyzed. Take it away, and to prevent it from becoming a Japanese trophy like the West Virginia battleship, we have to sink it!"

Xu Zushan said with a smile: "The Japanese sank an aircraft carrier and a battleship, and the Americans sank an aircraft carrier and two battleships. From this point of view, the Japanese still won. However, the Americans rebuilt an aircraft carrier and two battleships." Two battleships are easy, but the Japanese have to tighten their belts to rebuild an aircraft carrier and a battleship!"

Huang Wentian sighed beside him: "It's a pity that the USS Enterprise is about to be sunk by the US military itself. Even if it can't fall into the hands of the Japanese, it can be handed over to us! There is no doubt that the aircraft carrier has replaced the battleship. The sea supremacy and the decisive force in naval warfare, but we are unable to build an aircraft carrier ourselves, and Germany has no aircraft carrier. We only have a light aircraft carrier leased from the Japanese. It is too shabby. It would be great if we could get the Enterprise. A regular medium-sized aircraft carrier!"

Xu Zushan shook his head and smiled: "Li Geng (written by Huang Wentian), stop daydreaming!"

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Hearing the conversation between Xu Zushan and Huang Wentian, Chen Rui's eyes moved: "Bosses, maybe we can give it a try.

But hurry up, if it's too late, the U.S. military will send the Enterprise to the bottom of the sea!"

Xu Zushan and Huang Wentian said in surprise: "Station Master Chen, do you have a solution? How are you going to try?"

Before Chen Rui had time to explain, he ordered the communications soldiers: "Send an encrypted telegram to Wuhan immediately, and contact the bureau!" Both Xu Zushan and Huang Wentian were naval fleet commanders, and they were not aware of the "secret transaction" between Jiang Weiguo and the US government. He is the head of the Hawaii Station of the Maritime Statistics Bureau. He is engaged in intelligence work, so he naturally knows some high-level secrets.

In fact, Chen Rui's plan is to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, but as long as there is hope, he still has to try.

1 minute later, an encrypted telegram was sent from Oahu to Wuhan, 3 minutes later, another encrypted telegram was sent from Wuhan to Washington, and 10 minutes later, a White House staff member hurriedly pushed away the door.

"Mr. President, a confidential telegram from Wuhan, China!" The staff handed the telegram to Roosevelt.

Wearing a black suit, the staffer was clearly not an ordinary White House staffer.

Roosevelt took the telegram with a complicated mood. There was no signature on the telegram, but he knew it was from Jiang Weiguo. The telegram said:

Dear Mr. President, it is said that the Eighth Task Force of the Pacific Fleet of your country’s Pacific Fleet successfully counterattacked the Japanese army in Hawaii and is currently withdrawing. It is also reported that the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier in the fleet was seriously injured and could not be evacuated. The fleet is preparing to attack it by itself. In order to prevent Shen from falling into the hands of the Japanese army, I sincerely request you to transfer the aircraft carrier to us. This request is based on two considerations. First, Japan is the enemy of the United States, and China is not. Naturally, the Enterprise cannot fall into it. It was owned by the Japanese army, but it can be acquired by the Chinese army. Since you have decided to give up the enterprise number, why not transfer it for the beauty of adults?Could it be that you would rather turn the USS Enterprise into a pile of scrap iron on the sea floor than hand it over to the Chinese Navy?China will unite with the United States to attack Japan in the future, and strengthening China's military power is beneficial and harmless to the United States; second, the cooperation between Mr. President and my subordinates is bound to be based on mutual trust, and I have already proved my sincerity to my husband through facts , If nothing else, your 8th Fleet has been destroyed by the Japanese army together with the rest of the warships in Pearl Harbor at this time, how can it counterattack the Japanese army and retain half of your strength?Toss it with a peach and return it with a plum.

Sir, you should also prove your sincerity in cooperating with me, and give us the enterprise account that you plan to sink by yourself as a favor. Confidence and sincerity in cooperation.

"This Jiang Weiguo..." After reading the telegram, Roosevelt smiled wryly and shook his head, "He is not a soldier, he is clearly a businessman! Such a careful planner, really..." He couldn't think of a suitable word to describe Jiang Weiguo.

After thinking for a minute, Roosevelt picked up the phone and called Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, "Frank, contact the Eighth Fleet and convey my special order!"
