- It was a small, dry and hot port under British rule. Several local shops had very little stock because the usual supply ships had not arrived in months. When Yang Mingjun was wandering on the street, he met a friendly and strong native man and told Yang Mingjun that he was a member of the Queen's Guard on the island.
The queen has moved out of the palace and moved all the local citizens to the depths of the island, where they grow food and vegetables for herself and the Chinese army. She vacated her palace (a large house made of gorgeous white stone) and all the houses in the town for the troops.
Her guard said he was happy to see the Chinese coming here because there had been no army here before and they were afraid of Japanese planes coming to bomb. It feels safe now, with troops and planes protecting the island. He said that people from many countries had visited the island before, including Germans, French, British, New Zealanders and Chinese, but he liked the Chinese the most because they always greeted people with smiles and loved to joke.
The only things you can buy on the island are straw mats, straw handbags and tablecloths. There weren't many of these left, and the Army's vanguard troops bought most of them. Normally the price of these local products is twenty-five to fifty cents, but now that business is booming, local merchants have completely set new prices. They always shout, "One yuan, two yuan, three yuan."
The crew of the "Huqiu" had their first chance to have some fun, but to their dissatisfaction, the hotel's counters and shelves were already empty. They ran around confidently, but ended up having to settle for coconut water and oranges instead. Some people spend their vacations galloping around on rented horses.
After visiting this town, Yang Mingyun saw a beautiful new ship in the harbor. It was a large merchant ship flying the Dutch flag. This brought back fond memories of the elegant The Hague and Amsterdam when Yang Mingyun went to the Netherlands for a mission. Yang Mingyun stayed there for a while and made friends with the Dutch. For the sake of friendship, Yang Mingyun went to visit the captain and, if possible, beg, buy, borrow or steal some Scotch whiskey.
Yang Mingyun was led onto the ship and welcomed by Captain De Van Lett. He was an optimistic, stocky old sailor, like many in his country. Speak fluent English. Yang Mingyun hit it off with him. He was entertaining another Dutch captain, Gilles (whose ship was also in the harbor).
Yang Mingyun and Giles both toasted him with Captain Van Lett¡¯s premium Dutch gin and were invited to stay for dinner. There were several young Chinese gunners beside the captain. These young men also dined at the same table as the captain. Yang Mingyun and his gang had a great time that night.
That meal also reminded Yang Mingyun of the Netherlands. Delicious Dutch cooking techniques, rich and formal, are all famous wine and rice dishes in that country. Each dish is paired with an appropriate wine. When served cold food and champagne. There is only one toast left: "Cheers to the Allies!"
It was a very happy night for the captain. He received a letter that had chased him across the ocean for fifteen months. The letter said that his son got married in the Netherlands. The letter was written by his daughter-in-law and began: "Dear Dad." This made him very happy.
He smiled and said, "I didn't expect that this little girl I used to see dragging her pigtails around would marry my son and become my daughter now. They were waiting for me to come home, but The war is like this now. Who knows when I will be able to go back to Holland. They are getting married and I am very happy."
When Yang Mingyun and everyone quietly left the port, except for the 10 seriously injured people who were too seriously injured to be sent away, all the crew members of the "Huqiu" were on their way. Lieutenant Colonel Lin Zun insisted that only the wounded who were in critical condition should be left behind. He repeatedly told doctors: "I want to take everyone who can go home. The best medicine you can give them is to let them go home."
Yang Mingjun and several of them had made bets with books, insisting that they would stop at this small port for a few months to cover up their losses. Now I have fulfilled it, and I am willing to do so from the bottom of my heart.
The days pass too slowly and too long. Yang Mingyun was walking home. Before arriving there was nothing to do but eat and sleep. Naturally, the conversation turned to the war and future war developments, discussing Japanese equipment, tactics, personnel and ideas. This time Yang Mingyun was satisfied with fighting. We also fought with the Japanese, competed with their Gale aircraft, and saw nuclear explosions. Yang Mingyun knew that it was under such an unfavorable situation of fighting on two fronts. China can also defeat its enemies. The news that Yang Mingyun first saw and heard was all about the army and air force fighting the Soviet Union. Not much is known about the naval heroics that took place in the Pacific. Now he has seen it with his own eyes and realized that the intensity of the fighting here is not much worse than that of the Soviet battlefield.
He has always been puzzled that the domestic media ignored the battle at sea. He knew that his famous father might have something he wantedHe knew the answer, but Yang Mingyun didn't want to see him yet.
Yang Mingyun finally returned to Shanghai Port. As soon as the ship entered the port, he saw a huge aircraft carrier moored at the pier at his first sight.
This is an aircraft carrier that he has never seen before. It is much larger than all the aircraft carriers he has seen before. Yang Mingyun looked at the sea giant carefully and saw the two-character ship name "Xuanyuan" written on the side.
"What a beautiful ship!" A sailor of the "Huqiu" aircraft carrier couldn't help but admire loudly. More people began to shout and whistle to the giant ship.
Yang Mingyun looked at this giant aircraft carrier with a displacement of nearly 100,000 tons and was very excited.
Suddenly, he felt as if someone was staring at him. He turned his head suddenly and looked at a tall building on the shore.
"What's wrong?" A sailor noticed his unusual movements and asked casually.
"It's nothing." Yang Mingyun shook his head, and the sharp look in his eyes disappeared instantly.
In a small room in that building, Zhong Shanwen suddenly hid behind the thick curtains.
The hawk-like gaze of the man on the boat that she saw through the telescope just now really startled her.
She calmed herself down and glanced furtively, seeing that the transport ship had already sailed away.
Zhong Shanwen raised the telescope again and looked at the giant aircraft carrier, her heart filled with horror again.
What does it mean that so many aircraft carriers suddenly appeared in ports along China¡¯s coast?
Could it be that
Zhong Shanwen left the window, quickly put on her clothes, packed her things and rushed out the door.
With the Chinese army¡¯s capture of Moscow as a turning point, by mid-June, the situation between China and Japan suddenly became dangerous.
The Chinese FBI has become increasingly strict in monitoring Japanese spies in China. despite this. Tokyo still sent a secret order to step up intelligence collection.
Soon, Zhong Shanwen came to live in a small building near Dalian Port.
Looking out from the small building, Dalian Port is just around the corner. Later, Zhong Shanwen appeared here frequently. As time went by, she wrote down the numbers of Chinese ships anchored in Dalian Port in the order of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday in her black notebook. This statistics has been gradually improved.
At that time, Zhong Shanwen was still concentrating on investigating obstacles, currents, and seaside slopes in coastal waters that were crucial to the military. Her expertise in swimming played a big role. Zhong Shanwen has loved swimming since she was a child. When I was in the fifth or sixth grade of elementary school. I swam with the young people in the village and won the championship in the close swimming and long distance swimming competitions. I was like a dragon in the water.
Morita, who came back from the boat, handed something to Zhong Shanwen, saying it was from Yanagawa. At first glance, it turned out to be a piece of Japanese paper.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? She carefully unfolded the paper, and she saw that it was densely covered with very small pencil characters. These are ninety-seven questions posed to Zhong Shanwen. Yanagawa asked Morita to transfer to Zhong Shanwen to answer the questions in this paper before sailing tomorrow.
The paper asked him to answer the following questions based on his past understanding:
1.The total number of berthed ships.
2. The number and names of different types of ships.
3. The berthing positions of battleships and aircraft carriers.
4. The berthing or mooring situation of the battleship.
5. Dynamics of battleships and aircraft carriers (entry and exit, etc.).
6. The time it takes for a battleship to get from its mooring to the port.
7. On which day of the week do you infer that most ships are parked?
8. Is the battleship equipped with a mine protection net when it is berthed?
9. Number of days and location of docking of the battleship.
10. Your company claims that the battleships are tied up in parallel. Is this a special situation or is it often the case?
11. Are there any large aircraft patrolling at dawn and dusk? If so, how many aircraft will be dispatched?
12. The aviation base and permanent troops in Dalian Port Islands.
13. When the aircraft carrier enters and leaves the port. Are carrier-based aircraft taking off outside the harbor?
14. Number of Army aircraft in Lushun.
15. Are there any blocking balloons near Dalian Port?
16. In addition to Dalian Port, are there any fleet berths?
17. Is there any precedent for temporary anchoring in the main channel?
18. Do sailors come ashore often?
19. Are there any signs of increasing the army¡¯s defense strength?
20. Construction status of underground fuel depot.
21. There are many oil tanks on the ground near the port. Are they filled with oil?
22. The fleet often sets out, where does it go? What direction? What to do?
twenty three.If there are any signs of abnormality in the ship's fuel or food, report it immediately.
24. Where is the possible location for landing in front of enemy lines?
25. Report the submarine¡¯s activities as much as possible.
26. Is there an anti-submarine net at the mouth of the bay? If so, please report the details as soon as possible.
27. Aircraft intensification towards the Philippines, Truk Port and the Central Pacific.
28. Anomalies in espionage prevention, etc.
That night, Zhong Shanwen spent an entire night answering ninety-seven questions based on the intelligence information she had painstakingly collected over the past seven months.
Question: On which day of the week do you infer that most ships are parked?
Answer: Sunday.
Question: Are there any large aircraft patrolling at dawn and dusk? If so. How many were dispatched?
Answer: There are 20 aircraft at dawn and dusk. (Zhong Shanwen anticipated such questions. In order to see the departure and return of the patrol airship with her own eyes, she stood on the lawn many times at dawn and dusk to observe.)
Question: Is there an anti-submarine net at the mouth of the bay? If so, please report the details as soon as possible.
Answer: Probably. But the type and other details are unknown. (There is an anti-submarine net at the entrance to the channel in Dalian Port. Zhong Shanwen had considered that this information was very important in advance and had worn wrinkled clothes many times. She dressed as a washerwoman and resolutely sneaked into the bay. But she never fully achieved her goal.)
The next morning, Zhong Shanwen handed the answer sheet to Morita. Morita wrapped it around his waist, patted his belly with his hand and said, "I must hand it over with my own hands!"
at this time. The Ishihara cabinet is rushing along the road of war, and the military headquarters is also determined. Make a last-ditch effort to prepare for a decisive battle with China. From the ninety-seven issues mentioned above, Zhong Shanwen clearly glimpsed the fragments of this domestic situation.
Not long after Zhong Shanwen answered ninety-seven questions. The mobile troops of the Japanese Navy, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the decisive battle, have begun preparations for a surprise attack.
Determining the time to start the war is the most important issue. The time when the largest number of ships in Dalian Port must be gathered must be chosen to deliver a fatal blow to the Chinese fleet.
Tokyo's secret telegram instructed Japanese spies in Dalian Port: "In view of the current situation, it is extremely important for battleships, aircraft carriers and cruisers to anchor in Dalian Port. Therefore, we hope that these situations will be reported every day as much as possible in the future. In addition, we also hope that Inform the battleship if it is equipped with mine protection nets."
The increase in the number of such request reports is enough to imply that the war is imminent and the target of the attack is Dalian Port.
Zhong Shanwen noticed the "anxiety" of the military headquarters from this instruction, so she drove and fished more frequently than before. Outing.
This day was a quiet Saturday. Neither the roar of planes from Dalian Port nor any other noises could be heard. Zhong Shanwen completed her "reconnaissance" in the morning and reported to Tokyo. She had lunch very late and then lay down on the bed in the dormitory with her tired body. Got some sleep. I immediately jumped up and went to reconnoiter the situation of Dalian Port at dusk. I saw the ships of the Chinese fleet floating quietly on the sea that looked like summer all year round.
"Why are the four aircraft carriers and seventeen heavy cruisers missing?" She saw them with her own eyes in the morning and they were indeed parked there. How strange. Zhong Shanwen muttered, an ominous feeling rising in her heart.
Zhong Shanwen hurried back to her residence after having dinner in the restaurant, and immediately started drafting a telegram to Tokyo.
"On the 19th, the ships parked in Dalian Port are as follows: four battleships, six light cruisers, five submarine carriers, and twenty destroyers. In addition, four light cruisers and two destroyers have been docked. The aircraft carriers and heavy cruisers have all left the port and will not be anchored in the port. .There are no signs of aerial reconnaissance by the Fleet Air Force."
Zhong Shanwen¡¯s last report was Telegram No. 367. It was around 9 o'clock when the encryption of the message was completed. Even Zhong Shanwen, who was full of energy, felt tired from the past few days. After drinking two or three cups of coffee in one breath, she followed her usual habit before going to bed and went for a walk on the lawn in the courtyard of the consulate.
There was not a single roar of planes in the sky. It was a quiet weekend night, and the entire Dalian Port was no different from usual. Zhong Shanwen lay calmly on the bed.
Its daybreak.
Zhong Shanwen was exhausted due to yesterday¡¯s ¡°heavy labor¡±. I had a long sleep in the morning. It was already past seven-thirty when I got up from the bed. Just as he was having breakfast, he suddenly heard a deafening and terrifying sound, followed by explosions and gunfire
"It seems like a large-scale exercise!"
Zhong Shanwen ran outside and looked into the sky. I saw thick smoke billowing over Dalian Port and the wings of the plane passing through the light morning fog. The "sun" mark is clearly visible.
"Japanese planes! Fighting started!" Zhong Shanwen walked quickly across the yard towards the office building,??Consul General Morita¡¯s report. At this moment, Morita walked out.
"Mr. Tian (Morita's Chinese name is Tian Tian), the fight is about to begin!"
"Um!¡¡"
The two looked up at the sky to express solidarity with the Japanese aircraft. Because of his excitement, Morita grabbed Zhong Shanwen's right hand tightly, and tears suddenly filled his eyes
Zhong Shanwen's eyes were filled with uncontrollable tears. It seemed that her heartstrings, which had been tense until this moment, slowly relaxed, and an indescribable emotion of sadness and joy came to her heart.
Somehow, she thought of her husband Fukui again, and that strong longing made her feel lost again.
June 25, 1945, Pacific Ocean.
The vast Pacific Ocean can accommodate all the continents and islands on the earth, and it is more than enough. The Pacific Ocean, some people call it the Great Ocean, the South China Sea or the Nanyang. The name Pacific was given by the Portuguese navigator Magellan. In order to open up a new route, Magellan drifted in the Atlantic Ocean for several months, bumping up and down the east coast of America like a wasp trapped in a glass window. The new route was finally found, and what lay before his eyes was a vast free sea with clear skies and gentle winds. This is where the Pacific Ocean gets its name. As a result, this charming name has been passed down from generation to generation until today. Whenever people dream of escaping the absurd reality and brutal war, they often say: "There is a paradise in the Pacific"
However, who knows how many of these islands have been destroyed by bombs? On that shore covered with yellow sand, how many people had witnessed the most thrilling scenes in World War II.
At dawn, the Chinese aircraft carrier "Xuanyuan", escorted by 4 heavy cruisers and 12 destroyers, marched on the Pacific Ocean about 200 nautical miles west of Dalian Port. The fleet moved forward at a speed of 25 knots. Under the clouds, the sea breeze is blowing, gentle and refreshing, and there are slight waves on the sea.
"Xuanyuan" has always been in a war-ready state, and Chinese naval officers and soldiers are alert day and night, ready for immediate action at any time. Because Japanese submarines may be nearby. The exterior of the warship was painted dark gray, the linoleum covering the deck was ripped off, and the paint on the bulkheads was scraped off. All wood and flammable materials have been removed, and portholes have been welded shut; strict light control is implemented at night. A demagnetization device was installed on the hull; the cast iron pipes were replaced with tough wrought iron pipes. For several months, the entire crew has been conducting night vigilance, shooting and various rescue training.
ps: After listening to the report from the main war party, the emperor was furious: The Japanese pirates have bullied me too much. Which general is willing to lead the army? General A scratched his head: Your Majesty, you know that I specialize in studying my grandfather. General B: If someone can bring the Japanese pirates to the audience, I am very sure that they will laugh to death. General B: I am a kelp farmer, but I recommend a hawk who will surely defeat the Japanese pirates. Emperor: Are you talking about the naval commander on the Internet? He was almost drowned in saliva!
