1949 I am from the future

()【98】It turned out to be Xianning

At the end of January, the temperature in the northern waters of the Yangtze River Estuary in the East China Sea is very low, and the temperature in the morning is only 2-5 degrees. The cotton-padded jacket on the sailor's body was half-damp and impermeable, as if it hadn't been dried in the sun.This situation is much more difficult than the dry cold in the north.

None of the gunners on the deck was willing to wear more. The boys felt that even wearing one more would be cumbersome. Under this kind of sea fog, they would get wet soon after wearing cotton jackets. Although everyone was a new sailor, But they are all old artillerymen, and the previous training has also proved to them that shelling at sea needs to adjust the gun positions all the time, and shaking the naval guns at high speed can make people sweat in a few minutes.The gunners were only wearing homespun underwear with a yellow military uniform over it. 608 was advancing at a high speed of more than 50 kilometers per hour. The sea wind brought by the ship roared and rushed towards the gunners, pouring into the clothes of the gunners. Everyone feels cold to the bone.

On the emplacement of the 57mm gun at the front of the submarine hunter, Fu Ge, a new sailor and veteran artilleryman, leaned on the steel plate surrounding the emplacement, holding the pan tightly with both hands, and his palms were already slippery.

"First gunner, it's not a fishing boat this time?" Fogg asked.

"I don't think so. It's almost at the mouth of the Yangtze River. After all, it shouldn't be a fishing boat. The captain said at the meeting last night that Lao Jiang has blocked the entire mouth of the Yangtze River, including the area to the north of the mouth. Fishermen only need to It was discovered that even the crew on the boat were taken away, and the captain said that it is very likely that we will encounter an enemy ship on this mission." The first artillery commander Wang Qing said dizzily as if walking on a cloud.At this moment, he is trying to suppress the dizziness that continues to spread in his brain. In order to be a qualified naval gunner, he is hardening himself and the artillerymen of the first battery every day, just to be able to , the faster the cannon is in place, practice hard over and over again.In addition to training, they ran up and down the ship, cleaning the decks and weapons. They didn't even dare to eat more food, for fear that if they were not careful, they would vomit again.

The gunners on each gun position were quietly waiting for orders in the violent turbulence. They leaned on the cold steel plate of the gun guard, grasped the ice-cold cannon pan, and blew the cold, humid, biting sea breeze, and the violent sea breeze Many people's eyes were red and tears flowed.But everyone still tried their best to widen their eyes and stared at the sea desperately.The anger that had been suffocated for a long time, the enthusiasm to serve the motherland and the excitement of going to war for the first time were pressed under and in the chest, boiling hot.

The closer to noon, the thinner the gray sea fog on the sea surface, and the veil covering Donghai's face is being lifted.

Finally, 10 minutes later, "Report, we found the target, right ahead, right there!" Observer Du Shi raised his voice significantly, fixed his eyes on the sea surface, and pointed forward with his right hand.

"1 degree to the right of the front."

"I saw it too! It's there."

Following the direction indicated by Du Shi, everyone on the observation deck soon saw the unidentified little black dot.

The captain Han Tingfeng and the deputy captain You Guanghua stared at the direction indicated by the observer Du Shi and found the target. Han Tingfeng quickly made a decision: "You continue to observe until the identity of the other party is determined. Guanghua and we will go down."

The deputy captain You Guanghua explained: "Everyone look carefully, and report immediately if you see clearly."

After speaking, he followed Han Tingfeng and immediately went down to the bridge.

The captain Han Tingfeng went down to the command room and stood by the berth, and the radar room kept changing reports over and over again, "The radar shows the target speed is 5 nautical miles, the direction is 181, and our distance from the target is 18.5 kilometers... The radar shows the target speed ..."

Soon, Han Tingfeng got the sound he wanted most, and the observers confirmed their voices one by one from the loudspeaker in the bridge.

"Report! It's the Kuomintang's gunboat! It's the Kuomintang's gunboat! The other party's course is facing our ship."

Han Tingfeng was very excited and immediately picked up the talker from the berth:

"I am captain Han Tingfeng. Now I am ordering the whole ship to enter the combat state, and all personnel are ready to fight! The observers continue to observe and report the type and firepower configuration of the opponent's ship.

Chief engineer, continue to keep the engine at high speed, first officer, left rudder 50, go around behind the enemy, they probably haven't found us yet.

Correspondent, immediately contact 610 and 802 by radio, we found the enemy ship, ordered them to turn on the radar immediately, 802 turned around and went 50 nautical miles north to stand by, 610 rushed to support immediately, and also used the transmitter to send a report to Qingdao base, reporting what we found The position of the enemy ship.

First officer, I told you to hurry up!Go around to the back for me, quick!All artillery positions are ready, waiting for my order! "

With the rapid rotation of the rudder wheel in the chief officer's hand, the 608 boat slanted and changed direction suddenly, and went straight to the rear of the enemy ship.

What kind of ships are these two ships patrolling the coastal waterway north of the Yangtze River Estuary?

The name of a ship is Xianning, which was originally the "lepanto" ship of the Italian Navy stationed in China. Before Mussolini surrendered in 1944, he "sinked" in Shanghai. In fact, he found a shoal and dropped the ship. At this time, Italy still He flirted with Japan, and Japan understood, claiming to "salvage" the ship, pull it to Huangpu Shipyard for sheet metal, repair the stranded and damaged hull, and renamed it "Xingjin".

What Italy means is that if I can't do it, then I can't make it cheap for you Chinese pigs. This ship will be handed over to the Japanese who are still recalcitrant in the Axis powers, and they will continue to disgust you allies.

After the Chinese Japanese army announced its surrender in 1946, the ship was accepted by the Kuomintang as a surrender ship in the Chinese theater.In fact, the Japanese military headquarters stationed in China originally planned to sink all the ships in the Chinese theater. Later, I thought about it, would I still be able to return to Japan after the sinking?What if the poor and crazy Chinese accept their surrender and kill themselves in anger?So I had to hand over the boat obediently.

A total of 322 Japanese ships of various sizes in China fell into the hands of Chiang Kai-shek. Some of the ships were refitted and sold to civilians, and the rest continued to serve. Baldy used these ships to blockade the new China. Coastline, occupy the island, plunder fishermen and fishing boats to Taiwan.Most of these ships are shallow-water gunboats and patrol boats. The Xianning is one of the ten largest gunboats. Nine of the ten largest shallow-water gunboats successively served in the two large-scale uprisings in April and November 1949. Our People's Liberation Army surrendered, and most of them were bombed and sunk by Kuomintang planes in retaliation.

The Xianning sailed out today to lay mines. According to the plan, the Kuomintang plans to block the southward channel with mines, completely sealing off the route for the supply ships of the People's Liberation Army going south.Considering that the People's Liberation Army has no large warships, only a few old shallow-water gunboats counted on one hand, the mission of the Xianning is to lay mines on the shallow water routes along the coast.

The Xianning number didn't come out alone, but also brought a group of little brothers behind it, what about the magic horse?It is 10 small miscellaneous gunboats landing in the sun, all with a displacement of about 50 tons, patrolling along the coast in a line. The Xianning, relying on its large tonnage, took a small gunboat to lay mines from west to east in a channel far away from the coast. As we walked further and further, we were already more than 20 kilometers away from the other nine small miscellaneous gunboats. At this time, we were preparing to join the small gunboats on the northwest coast.
