Although he is physically disabled, he has been doing pretty well over the years. The logistics department is relatively easy to support, especially a disabled person like him. He does not need to exercise or train, so he can just sail his boat.
Okay, in the Pacific Fleet, he is considered the number one person. Even his wife was found for him by the deputy commander of the fleet. The woman is a local from Luzon.
He is from this place, dark and thin, but very capable. He also gave birth to two children, a boy and a girl. Not only are they not as short, dark and thin as his mother, but they also inherited their mother's big eyes and their father's.
He was tall, the boy was handsome, and the girl was pretty. This made old Liu Mei feel deeply in her heart. Every time she came back from a boat trip, she would bring a lot of local specialties to her two children who had just entered elementary school.
However, Lao Liu was not in a good mood today. First, his injured leg started to hurt again, which meant that the weather was about to change and it was expected to rain. Second, this voyage was temporarily added and was not originally planned.
The reason for the lack of this voyage was the sudden arrival of dozens of recruits who had completed their recruit training. Due to the temporary martial law in Cam Ranh Bay, they delayed their trip, missed the sailing date, and failed to catch the ship that took them to Hualien Port. As a result, this
The job was assigned to Liu Tao.
Liu Tao didn't like these young people. They were too noisy, and they didn't know how to respect the older generation like himself at all. During the chat, they actually expressed disdain for old navy sailors like Lao Liu who drove transport ships. This made Liu Tao disdainful.
Liu Tao was very angry, but he couldn't do anything to the young people, so he could only hide in the bridge and stare at the helmsman who had just arrived, intending to use him to regain some self-esteem.
"嘡...嘡..." Two dull crashing sounds came from the port side of the hull, and the hull shook a little. Liu Tao was startled, and quickly ran out of the bridge, stood in the fence, and operated beside him
The searchlight shone to the port side.
"I x!!! Torpedo attack... Alarm!!!" As soon as the searchlight light swept to the sea on the port side, a white track was reflected in Liu Tao's eyes, and its terminal was not far away from the Wave.
50 meters later, Liu Tao shouted at the top of his lungs. He turned around and took off the life preserver from the outer wall of the driving building.[
"Boom..." Liu Tao, who had just put on the lifebuoy, was lifted up by a powerful force. He was flying into the air before he heard a loud noise. His instinct told him that the Wave was finished.
A small iron ship of 2,000 tons does not need any 533 heavy-duty torpedoes. One 450 mm torpedo can kill it, and then he will know nothing about it.
When he woke up again, he was already lying on the hospital bed. The nurse who changed his dressing told him that this was the Hualien Naval Hospital. His ship probably sank, and he was entangled in a federal navy flag at sea.
We drifted for more than half a night until Hualien found out that we should arrive at night.
The transport ship had not entered the port until dawn, and reconnaissance planes and search ships were sent to check along the route. Only then did they find some floating objects dozens of nautical miles away from Hualien Port, and found him unconscious under the military flag.
Now it has been 2 days since the accident happened.
After listening to the nurse's explanation, Liu Tao's originally confused mind finally became clearer. He suddenly screamed, tore off the infusion tube still connected to his arm, and fell down beside the hospital bed.
"Quickly, inform the port commander that I have important military information to report, hurry up!!!" Liu Tao was in a hurry. He didn't notice that his prosthetic limb had been removed and fell to the ground. At this time, he was sitting on the bed.
On the other side, he yelled at the nurse, and the harsh screams spread throughout the entire floor.
April 7, 1927, the Presidential Palace, the capital of the South China Sea Federation. Liu Fu, dressed in pajamas, was sitting at a desk reading a report. There were two people standing in front of the desk, one was a security guard from the Ministry of Internal Affairs in casual clothes, and the other
The first one is the Deputy Minister of Defense in military uniform.
"Is he sure it's a torpedo?" Liu Fu took off his glasses and put down the thin report and asked.
"Yes, we have confirmed that Liu Tao joined the navy in 1905 and was a torpedo operator on a torpedo boat. Later, in an accident, his left calf was broken by a torpedo, but he did not want to retire and chose to go
The naval logistics department has always served on supply ships. The naval base in Hualien Port
The local commander personally asked him, and he was 100% sure that it was a torpedo, and there was more than one. According to him, the first two torpedoes had hit his hull, but did not explode. He ran away after being alarmed by the impact.
We went out of the bridge to observe and used the searchlight to illuminate the moving torpedo. We have
After confirming with the Hualien Port Naval Hospital, he has no mental problems except for a slight concussion. According to his military common sense, we think he is telling the truth. A torpedo operator will not mistake a torpedo
"Vice Minister of National Defense Ji Haisheng clearly introduced the whole story. Today is
He was on duty, and this telegram was sent from Hualien Port. The situation above was a bit complicated, and he could not handle it properly. He had to wake up Liu Fu in the middle of the night. This is what Liu Fu has emphasized many times, regardless of
Whenever and under any circumstances, as long as the officer on duty thinks it can be properly handled, he must wake himself up.
"Where's the Pacific Fleet?" Liu Fu asked again.
"It has been confirmed that this ship is called Wave, and it was indeed temporarily sent to Hualien to transport new recruits. There is basically no problem of leaking information in advance, because the fleet's logistics officer also made a temporary decision on this voyage, the specific departure and departure
The arrival time at the port is determined by the captain himself and Hualien Port, so it is difficult to determine the ship's location in advance."
"Intelligence says that Captain Liu Tao believes that one or more submarines attacked them?" Liu Fu picked up the report again.
"Yes, he described in detail the situation at the time and the location of the Wave. According to our analysis, if it were not a submarine, it would be difficult to penetrate that location without being discovered. It is already hundreds of miles west of the Pacific Fleet defense area.
It is a place in the sea, and it is very close to Taiwan Island. It is impossible for surface ships to avoid our radar scanning. According to the three mines in Tainan and Taitung
The station reported that the ship entered the scanning range at 10:20 and disappeared from the radar at 11:11. At that time, they asked Hualien Port for the identity of the ship and received confirmation, and that the ship was
After disappearing, they also sent an inquiry report to Hualien Port, but the personnel on duty at Hualien Port thought it was a radar failure and took no further action."
"He was the only one rescued? Is this person reliable? Where are the other people on the ship?" Liu Fu continued to ask.
"Before dark, the search team was still searching near the accident site and found no other people. However, they found several items of cargo from the Wave, which were hundreds of navy summer clothes transported together. Several of them were on
A hole was found. Judging from the caliber, it should be a gun of less than 15 mm. It is still unclear which country's weapon it is."
"Why do I feel so similar to when we were in Taiwan before? When our submarines ambushed the enemy, they also killed all the crew members. Now someone has used the tactics we used to deal with them on ourselves. How to deal with it specifically?
This is a matter for the Navy Department and your Ministry of Defense. However, I would like to remind you that in the future you must be more careful about other people's submarines and do not treat us as
It would be very troublesome to ask others to give us back the methods we used to deal with others before. It is best to find out the murderer of this incident, otherwise we will always be on tenterhooks in the future." Liu Fu did not make any tactical arrangements, so
It was not his strong point. Any staff officer in the Ministry of Defense and the Navy would know more than him. He only made requirements in the general direction.
While Liu Fu was listening to the report from the Ministry of National Defense, Kazuyama Kiichi was leading his submarine team on the calm Pacific Ocean. Since it was night, all five submarines had surfaced, and several submariners were squeezing around.
In the small space on the forecastle, I smoked and enjoyed the refreshing sea breeze, although everyone was relaxing on the forecastle.
The time is only 10 minutes, but compared to breathing the turbid air in the cabin that can almost squeeze out the water, it is already a paradise. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.
