Chapter 169 The First Fleet Destroyed

Where is Chiang Kai-shek's navy?

Departure from the port.

But Ma Jizhuang's first fleet was targeted as soon as it left the port.

The huge North Sea Fleet had blocked the entire Zhoushan Islands before the landing fleet launched the battle.

The 037 submarine hunting and the 024 missile speedboat formed one plus one into ten pairs of formations. Two of the ten small teams were formed in a group, and five squadrons were formed. According to the order, an attack on all enemy ships that appeared in the sea area was launched.

After Ma Jizhuang's first fleet left the port, they met these hungry wolves.

These two 031 submarine hunting radars were started in turn to search. After discovering the first fleet, the four-ship formation immediately became excited.

The radio on each boat was filled with excited shouts from each captain:

"Everyone enters combat preparation!"

"All members immediately enter the battle state!"

"Every combat position is in place immediately!"

"The self-test starts in each combat position!"

The sailors on the two 024 missile speedboats even frantically entered the battle preparations. In the last naval battle at the Yangtze River Estuary, the power of the 024 missile speedboat shocked the entire navy. All the captains of the 024 missile boats who failed to participate in the battle were anxious and wished that their boat would meet the enemy ship the next moment.

Now the opportunity has finally come.

The sailors worked hard to complete their work, and they all wanted their boats to achieve the most beautiful results this time.

"The missile is powered up!"

"The fire control radar has been powered up!"

"The missile hand has loaded the electric explosion tube!"

"The radar has been locked, and the data is injected in real time is normal!"

"The motor is turned on and the automatic constant temperature state is completed!"

"The main engine has fully powered up! Going forward at full speed!"

"All staff have entered the cockpit of the bridge, and the watertight door and airtight lock have been completed"

"I order the missile to launch!"

"Yes, launch!"

"Yes, launch!"

As the high-speed combat preparations of the two 024 missile speedboats were completed, four upstream missiles roared out of the huge bullet cabin, and the force of the launch shocked the entire speedboat.

In front of anti-ship missiles, all warships in this era are pale and powerless lambs. Four thick upstream missiles made rapid progress on the sea like divine punishment from the sky toward their respective locked targets. The high-temperature tail flames that were enough to melt steel erupted in the rain, dragging out long white steam tails, and storming the missile to a storm toward the speed of sound.

Almost unprepared, the six main ships of Ma Jizhuang's First Fleet were attacked by long-range missiles. After the target radar was turned on, an anti-ship missile of the upstream suddenly jumped from the sea level, like a dolphin jumping out of the sea. After climbing to 300, he plunged his head. The rocket engine was almost exploding and rushed into the target ship unstoppable.

With the hits of four missiles, all four main battleships of Ma Jizhuang's first fleet that left the port were reimbursed.

The only four remaining large ships stationed in Zhoushan after the last air strike of the First Fleet were Taiping, Xinyang, Yingshuo, and Chang'an. If the artillery battle started, the two 037s would obviously not be enough.

But this is a modern war brought by missiles.

The 024 missile speedboat's sneak attack resulted in brilliant results. All four warships were blown off. Ma Jizhuang and all the officers on the Taiping were destroyed by missiles that rushed into the bridge on the spot. The entire First Fleet suddenly lost the command of the flagship, and the fire on the sea surface soared into the sky.

The remaining three armed service boats, Qilian, Pu'an and Nakajo, wanted to escape, but were bitten by two 037 hunting submarines that followed. Each gun had more than 200 shells per minute. The firepower of the 037 hunting submarine was delivered. The 037 hunting submarine was sprayed at high speed and the warships equipped with ships were immediately silenced and surrendered with white flags.

The Qilian was a coastal survey ship from Japan received by China after the war, with a displacement of 535 tons. The Pu'an was originally an oil-water transport ship of the Japanese Navy, and it was equipped with several artillery pieces. The Nakajo was a transport ship of the former Japanese Navy, and it also installed several artillery pieces. How can such a modified gunboat be able to compete with the sea-like sharp knife 037 hunting submarine like a wolf? If you don't surrender, you will be poked into honeycomb coal by the 57mm double-tube high-speed naval gun on the 037 and sank into the seabed.

The battle ended without any suspense, which also left precious rescue time for the escaped sailors on the four destroyed warships floating on the sea shouting for help. After capturing three service boats, the two 037 began to organize the rescue of the Kuomintang naval officers and soldiers floating in the sea.

The four first fleet main ships that were sunk this time were really unfair. They are victims of the gunboat concept. Like the Taikang, which was sunk before, the Taiping belongs to the American evarts-class escort destroyer, with a displacement of 1,150 tons and four diesel engines providing 6,000 horsepower. 3 76mm main guns and four 40mm secondary guns. One-on-one, the 037 may not be an opponent.

Two large ships that were received from the former Japanese Navy after the war were also numerous. The 4.7-inch 120mm large caliber guns equipped with the 4.7-inch 120mm large caliber guns were fainted and were blown into two pieces by the missiles before they could fire. If Chiang knew about it, he would be afraid to faint with pain. You must know that for the 037, a 4.7-inch 120mm large caliber gun, as long as he was shot at a key part, he would be seriously injured.

But the first fleet with strong combat power was destroyed like this. It was so dirty that the four main battleships were sunk before they even had time to fire. It was just that the angry Shi Jue could not contact Ma Jizhuang no matter how he was.

Shi Jue scolded Ma Jizhuang for being unfaithful in the Zhoushan Defense Command, and turned off the radio and escaped. This really made Ma Jizhuang's spirit in heaven wronged.

However, Li Lianxi from the Second Fleet was lucky. The second Fleet stationed in the long-distance port on the east side of Daishan Island to the north of Zhoushan Island was not within the blockade of the North Sea Fleet and successfully fled into the East China Sea.

Faced with Shi Jue's request, the commander of the Second Fleet, Li Lianxi, called back very easily, "When are you leaving, I will send a ship to pick you up. It is impossible to ask me to wait for you at Shenjiamen Wharf now. Since the heavy artillery of the People's Liberation Army blocked the waterways in the south, our warship went to fire long-range artillery on land, which was equivalent to killing death."

But how could Shi Jue leave now? He still has to fight. The 75th Army, 87th Army, and 52nd Army have not yet entered the battle, so it is still unknown who will win.

Shi Jue understood that if the army of more than 100,000 people on Zhoushan Island had all been explained, it would not make much sense even if he fled back to Taiwan. The area of ​​Taiwan Island is more than 70 times that of Zhoushan Island, but the number of troops is currently less than 200,000. How can we defend it?

If the army cannot be withdrawn back to Taiwan, then we must defend Zhoushan to the death. As long as we defend it, it will not be a problem to withdraw after the war. Once more than 100,000 troops are destroyed in Zhoushan, even if we escape back to Taiwan Island, we will just survive. At most, three or five years, we will face the fate of being captured like Zhoushan Island.

Besides, after the war, can Chiang Kai-shek spare himself? I'm afraid it's hard to leave the house in the army. Thinking of Chiang Kai-shek's methods, Shi Jue shivered immediately.

Shi Jue, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, finally made the final decision, and he was going to fight.

"Give me the order of the 52nd Army to go south at all costs, except for leaving a division to guard the garrison, all the 19th Army went south to reinforce."

"The 87th Army left one division to guard Zhoushan and Shenjiamen, and the other two divisions were all moving westward to reinforce the 67th Army. We must open up the road to the westward into Zhoujiayuan."

"The 75th Army left one division, and the other two divisions attacked Zhoujiayuan along the seaside to the southeast, crossed Jianfeng Mountain, and attacked Zhoujiayuan."

After the orders were conveyed one by one, Shi Jue sat on the pine chair in the headquarters, as if he was exhausted. He looked at the portrait of Lao Jiang hanging on the wall in the temporary command center and thought to himself:

"Now six divisions have been arranged to reinforce, which is more than 60,000 people. We must take back Zhou Jiayuan and we must not let the military governor continue to land on the island here."
