Chapter 159: The celebration party turns into a funeral, commit suicide!
Just as Liu Huaming left the Beijing Military Region, the confrontation between the Northern Fleet, the Eastern Fleet and the four naval warships on the high seas in the northern waters was about to come to an end.
In the northern waters, 10 kilometers away from the border line, Song Haidong commanded several warships and was waiting in full formation.
He still doesn’t know the situation on the high seas in the south. Although he knows that the enemies ahead are just mazes and won’t attack easily, he is still very vigilant.
If there is no chaos on the high seas in the south, then there probably won’t be any chaos here either.
If chaos breaks out in the southern high seas, the outcome will be hard to predict.
In the main control room of 051C, Song Haidong stood by the porthole with big dark circles under his eyes, looking at the faint lights 20 kilometers away.
Under the dark night sky, the warship could not be seen clearly at all, and could only see a few lights flashing there.
"It's been two days, and I don't know what the situation is over there. The other party has no signs of evacuating at all."
Listening to Song Haidong's words, the deputy captain remained silent.
They know what's going on with their own warships.
If the enemy sends a few more warships, this escort operation may be in danger.
As for such an elusive thing as a frontline victory, he had not thought about it.
After all, the known strength is there, so you have to take it easy in your dreams.
“What time is it now?”
"Report to the captain, five fifty!"
"It will be dawn in a while, and this is the most tiring time! Please inform everyone to cheer up, lest the other party suddenly do something. Little move!"
Song Haidong warned in a serious tone.
"Yes, Captain!"
At the same time, 20 kilometers away on the high seas, in the main control room of the Asagiri, a group of people were listlessly dazing there.
But Captain Makino Hyoucai is not here.
Makino Hikai had given the order before, they came here just to bide their time! As long as the first combat team's affairs are over, they can go home and have a celebration banquet.
Without combat pressure, the people in the main control room couldn't muster much energy.
In addition, it took two days, and they were all tired.
A few operators even yawned.
As the first khache sounded, one yawn after another continued to spread.
The entire main control room was filled with sleepiness.
"It's only after five o'clock, and it's not even six o'clock yet! The shift doesn't change until seven o'clock, and there's still more than an hour left, time is so slow!"
Makino Hyou isn't here, The operators in the main control room did not feel much psychological pressure, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.
“Wait a little longer, it will only be more than an hour! I just don’t know how long this boring day will last?”
"Yeah, when will it be over!"
"Why are you talking so much? It will only take these two days. When the time comes, we will all have credit when we go back! We should suffer a little here. . ”
Everyone muttered to each other for a while, and their sleepiness disappeared a lot.
"Okay, okay, cheer up. The captain is not here, let's take a look at each of you, have you learned anything?"
The deputy captain said immediately.
Everyone shrank their heads and suddenly stopped talking.
At this time, the correspondent noticed an abnormality and immediately said: "Vice Captain, there is an order from headquarters."
Is there an order from headquarters?
The vice-captain raised his eyebrows. After spending two days here, the results are finally available?
“What did the headquarters say?”
"Vice Captain, General Wada ordered our troops to retreat immediately."
Retreat?
Not a return voyage?
The vice-captain frowned slightly.
Of course the meanings of these two words are different.
But he couldn't think of a reason after much thought. As for the annihilation of all frontline warships, he had never thought about it.
"Okay, let me know, get ready to go back!"
After speaking, the deputy captain walked towards the lounge.
There was a knock on the door outside the captain's lounge.
After a while, Makino Hyou dressed up and walked out.
"What's going on?"
"Captain, General Wada ordered us to retreat immediately!"
"The frontline war is over?" Makino Hyoucai said in surprise.
"I don't know." After a pause, the vice-captain added: "Probably."
Soon, Makino Hyou came to the main control room.
When he saw Makino Hyoucai walking out, the correspondent said quickly.
"Report to the captain, the retreat order has been issued, and all ministries are preparing to return."
Makino Hyoucai nodded expressionlessly, and then glanced at the navy in the distance.
"I've given you an advantage this time! I'll take care of you next time."
After speaking, Makino Hyou turned to look at the correspondent and said: "Contact Captain Itou Shuichi of the Yamagiri immediately , I want him to call.”
While speaking, a smile flashed across Makino Hyoucai's face.
I led the second combat team to face off here. Although not a single missile was fired, as long as Itou Shuichi's side was successful, he would have a share of the credit.
He was naturally very happy to get a piece of credit for nothing.
"Yes, Captain!" the correspondent said immediately.
"Captain." The vice-captain said: "This time Colonel Shuichi Itou has achieved such great achievements. We cannot let him go easily after we return. We will make him bleed!"
"That's natural!"
Makino Hyoucai smiled and said: "We have restrained so much of the opponent's power here. If he doesn't bleed, how can he be worthy of our hard work? We are facing high tension here. , It’s very hard!”
He said it was hard work, but in fact he felt so comfortable sleeping here these two days, which was even better than sleeping at the base.
"What's wrong? Is there no news yet?"
Faced with Makino Hyoucai's inquiry, the correspondent said.
"Report Captain, we can't contact you!"
"Can't contact you?" Makino Hyoucai was stunned for a moment, and then said to himself: "Then it may be a silent cruise."
"That's right. , after making such a big move, we should retreat quietly just in case! It will be very troublesome to fall into the encirclement and suppression of the opposing fighter formation!"
After speaking, Makino Hikai waved his hand and said: "Okay, there is no need to contact you for now, we will find out when we return to the base."
"Go home and have a celebration party!"
The deputy captain shouted loudly, and the main control room burst into laughter. The operators who were still sleepy at first were all in high spirits and wanted to return to Haizi headquarters immediately.
As the four warships in the sea turned around and prepared to retreat, the radar on the 051C immediately discovered the anomaly.
The radar monitor said immediately.
"Report Captain, the enemy ship is making unusual movements!"
Song Haidong walked over quickly and stared at the radar display for a long time.
The deputy captain said in surprise: "Captain, is the other side about to retreat?"
"It looks like it!"
"Is there a result on the front line?"
< br>"It's very possible!"
The vice-captain blurted out nervously: "What's the result?"
"How do I know?"
Song Haidong rolled his eyes at him angrily.
I and the other party have been sticking here. If there is any news, both of them know it at the same time.
The other party doesn’t know what the outcome will be, so how can I know?
"Why don't you ask the chief? Otherwise, my heart will not be at ease." The vice-captain suggested in a low voice.
Song Haidong frowned and pondered for a long time, and then said: "Contact the headquarters to ask about the situation."
"Yes, Captain!"
Soon, the order from the headquarters came over.
"Report to the captain, headquarters called back - everything is fine." The correspondent shouted.
The vice-captain couldn’t wait to ask: “What then?”
"No more."
"No more? What does this mean?" The deputy captain looked confused.
If everything was fine, how could the other party retreat?
Have the top leaders of both parties reached some agreement?
After much deliberation, this is the only possibility.
Song Haidong said: "Inform the headquarters that the other party is retreating. What will our department do next?"
"It's the captain!"
Soon, the correspondent said.
“Report to the captain, the headquarters will let us return in two hours!”
“Didn’t say anything else?”
"Captain, no!"
"That's weird!"
Song Haidong frowned and paced back and forth.
"Captain, what about us?" the vice-captain asked.
Waving his hand, Song Haidong said: "Let's go back in two hours."
"Yes, Captain!"
Going to the porthole and looking at the increasingly faint light at the end of the realization, Song Haidong felt very uneasy.
In this case, the top leaders of both parties reached an agreement, and one side must have paid a heavy price.
But we can’t contact 052B yet.
Even if something really happened, Jiang Shengrong on 052B probably wouldn’t say anything.
Thinking of this, Song Haidong sighed secretly in his heart. It seems that we can only find out the situation when we get home.
The situation in the sea, which was originally tense, suddenly became calmer with the death of four Chinese warships in the southern high seas.
Two hours later, no trace of enemy ships could be seen on the radar display, and Song Haidong ordered the entire army to start retreating.
At noon, Song Haidong returned to the Northern Fleet military base.
As soon as he came back, he immediately began to inquire for information.
However, after working for a long time, he didn't get any news. Even Xu Dongguo didn't give him any valuable clues.
This made Song Haidong feel agitated.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon that day, two destroyers and two frigates led by Makino Hyoucai also arrived at the Haizi base.
When he stepped off the warship, Makino Hyoucai was still mumbling.
"Damn Itou Shuichi, how long has it been since you called me back? Wait, I have to go to you personally!"
After signing and handing over, Makino Hyou went straight to the combat command. department.
"General Hotan, General Hotan..."
His shout had already reached the headquarters before anyone arrived.
"Huh? General Wada? Where are the people?"
He looked around the headquarters and did not see Ishita Wada.
"Did you go to rest? It's time for you. You have been busy for two days, but you really deserve a rest!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed a few drops of scarlet blood on the ground. .
He walked to the blood stain and squatted down. He stared at the blood stain for a long time, feeling a little more doubtful in his heart.
The headquarters is cleaned every day. How come there are blood stains?
Immediately, he pulled a seaman who was cleaning up and asked: "Look at you, your cleaning is not meticulous at all. The blood stains here haven't been cleaned up yet! Quickly, clean these up!"
"Hi!"
Just when the other party was looking for tools to clean up, Makino Hyou suddenly asked.
"Whose is this?"
"It belongs to General Hota." The other party finished speaking subconsciously, then covered his mouth, quickly shook his head and said: "I don't know."
Once he heard that this was Ishita Wada's blood, Makino Hyou felt confused.
"What's going on? Where is General Wada?"
"I don't know!"
"Baga!"
"Colonel Makino Hyoucai, I don’t know anything!” After saying that, the other party left in a hurry.
Looking at the back of the other party leaving in a hurry, Makino Hikai almost knitted his eyebrows together.
Why is General Hotan's blood so low here?
It shouldn’t be!
Is General Hotan working too hard?
Leaving the headquarters, he immediately went to look for Ishita Wada.
However, after searching for a long time, I couldn't find Ishita Wada.
This made him more and more confused.
What happened?
After some inquiring, he got a shocking news. General Inoshita Wada fell ill.
“It’s haunted! A great victory on the front line, but General Hotan fell ill?”
At this moment, the deputy captain on the Asagiri found him in a hurry.
"Captain, something happened! Something big happened!"
Hyo Makino said with some worry: "General Wada fell ill? I know about this, maybe he is overworked Let's do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the deputy captain shaking his head.
The vice-captain pulled him aside and after confirming that no one was there, he whispered.
"Captain, my friend in the Air Force told me that something happened on the front line! Four warships...all were killed."
"An accident? What could happen..."
I just heard this Halfway through, Makino Hyou said with a smile.
He was only halfway through his words. After hearing the second half of the other person's words, the smile on his face instantly solidified.
“What did you say!”
Makino Hyoucai's tone changed.
"The whole army was wiped out?"
"Yes, Captain!"
"This...how is this possible! Yamagiri, Tatōkaze, Harusame , Murasame, four warships join forces, who can stop it in the entire Dongzhou Sea? Impossible!"
Makino Hyoucai shook his head.
This situation was beyond his knowledge, and he instinctively didn't believe it.
“You are lying to me!”
“Captain, I didn’t believe it at first, but then I asked other people about it! I heard that the air force sent to support almost There is no return!”
Hearing this, Makino Hyou’s heart skipped a beat.
“Also, I heard that General Hotan has been controlled.”
Makino Hyoucai's mouth twitched sharply.
He thought that the other party was overworked and went to the hospital to recuperate, but he didn't know that he was actually being controlled.
After thinking about the little blood stains he saw at the headquarters just now, and the panic expression of a certain staff member, he suddenly believed most of it.
"How could this happen? It shouldn't be like this!"
Makino Hyoucai stood there, his head buzzing, muttering to himself, obviously he accepted this situation No.
He was obviously planning to come back for a celebration banquet, why did it turn into a funeral?
Not only him, but all senior military officers in Haizi who knew the inside story could not accept this fact.
In Murakami Hayaki's office, a mysterious man was sitting in front of him.
"...General Hayagi, the cabinet is very angry, and the shogunate chief is also very angry. They want you to give an explanation!"
Listening to what the other party said, Murakata nodded numbly. Nodding, saying nothing.
The operation was kept strictly confidential and took less than 24 hours from deployment to operation. Unlike the last Congyun incident, two months of continuous warfare would naturally be noticed by interested parties.
At the moment, the Blue Star tribes don’t know the situation, but Murakami Hayaki knows clearly that the news of the loss of four warships at once will not last long at all.
When the whole country is in an uproar, Haizi will definitely come up with an explanation.
"Please help me tell the shogunate chief, I will handle this matter!"
The mysterious man nodded and left quickly.
Looking at the other person's leaving figure, Murakami Hayaki's expression was uncertain.
Although after five o'clock, he had sent Shushang Tianfu to inquire about information at all costs, but several hours passed and no valuable news was returned.
Enemies that appear mysteriously are like mist, leaving no clues at all.
Once this matter is exposed, the impact will be very bad, and the status of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe in Blue Star will be severely affected.
Compared to passive exposure, Murakami Hayaki decided to take the initiative to show off his cards.
Of course, the results remain the same and the content is completely different.
After pondering for a while, Murakami Saki sighed helplessly.
“Here comes someone.”
“General Hayaki!”
“Bring Inoshita Wada here!”
"Hi!"
Soon, Ishita Wada was brought over.
Previously, Ishita Wada was thinking about whether there was room for maneuver in this matter, but he didn't know that after the mission was cancelled, he was taken away immediately.
As soon as he entered the door, Inoshita Wada noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere.
Looking at Murakami Hayaki, he tentatively said: "General Hayaki, have you found out the enemy's situation?"
"Don't worry about this matter. Someone will be responsible for it."
Murakita Saki said in a cold tone.
As soon as he heard this, Ishita Wada knew that something was wrong.
For a while, neither of them spoke.
After a long silence, Murakami Saaki said helplessly.
"Wada-kun, I also want to protect you. But this time, your command error has caused heavy losses to Haizi. I will not be able to protect you if I am held accountable from above."
The other party said so, Jingxia Wada also knew his result in his heart.
"General Hayaki, I understand."
"At that time, I will announce to the public that four warships were accidentally shot due to command errors during this exercise."
Misdirected maneuvers are better than defeat.
Jingxia Wada said immediately.
"General Xie Zaomu protects my reputation."
Immediately, Murakami Zaomu picked up the samurai sword that he had kept aside.
"Wada-kun, this katana has been with me for many years. Today I will give it to you. You can go back."
Looking at the katana for a while, I said Wada felt sad inside.
He knew very well what it meant to be given a samurai sword after defeat.
Respectfully taking the samurai sword, Inoshita Wada said solemnly.
"This defeat is my fault alone. Please forgive me, General Hayaki!"
Murashita Hayaki slowly closed his eyes.
After a while, he heard a muffled groan, followed by a thump.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw Ishita Wada kneeling on the ground, holding a knife in his abdomen with both hands, blood flowing all over the ground, his head lowered and already dead.
