In the autumn of 1954, Tao Yong, commander of the East China Military Region, suddenly received a telegram from Chairman Mao.
This telegram made Tao Yong feel very unwilling and guilty.
Tao Yong has been a naval commander for two years since returning from the Korean battlefield.
However, Tao Yong himself felt that he had not achieved significant results and had no way to prove his strength.
Tao Yong also faintly read the meaning of reproach from this telegram.
But at this time, although our navy has developed, the foundation is very thin due to the poor foundation.
Only limited sea power could be used to respond to the harassment and aggression of the Kuomintang.
But our army has not sunk or severely damaged their large ships, let alone taken the initiative.
Therefore, the warships of the Kuomintang were also very rampant, continuously invading our coastal islands.
Moreover, they dispatched large and medium-sized warships with a displacement of more than a thousand tons and equipped with fierce firepower.
A fierce general like Tao Yong is eager to fight a big battle all the time.
Tao Yong has also used a lot of brains and used a lot of tricks.
But fighting at sea, fighting with land, after all, is not the same thing.
How many times, Tao Yong watched the fighter disappear and his achievements were defeated.
Tao Yong is a brave and good fighting tiger general, originally named Zhang Daoyong.
Later, due to the needs of the war, Chen Yi renamed him "Tao Yong".
After changing his name, Tao Yong also felt that his current name was indeed much better than "Zhang Daoyong", so he kept calling it down.
When Tao Yong fights, he is definitely worthy of the word "brave".
In 1940, during the decisive battle at Huangqiao, Tao Yong brandished a large knife and rushed into the enemy group.
At this time, Tao Yong's post was that the Northern Soviet Command of the New Fourth Army sent the commander of the third column.
Afterwards, Su Yu praised him, "a desperate saburo".
Soon after, Tao Yong rode a motorcycle alone and broke into Matang, a certain Kuomintang army garrison.
Tao Yong said to the enemy brigade commander, "I heard that you were going to beat us, so I sent it to the door." ”
Looking at the majestic Tao Yong in front of the suspension bridge, the enemy army was stunned, "There really is such a tiger hero." ”
During the Anti-Japanese War, Tao Yong personally formed the maritime armed force of the New Fourth Army - the coastal defense regiment of the Suzhou Military Region.
Tao Yong also served as the first regiment commander.
At that time, Tao Yong had only 12 Huanghua ships (old gunboats from the Qing government) and sampans.
But he fought against the Japanese on the coast of northern Jiangsu and played the majesty of the "Turkish Navy".
In November 1952, Tao Yong returned from the Korean battlefield and took over the post of commander of the Navy of the East China Military Region.
Since then, Tao Yong has dominated the East China Sea and become a famous "tiger in the East China Sea".
After Tao Yong received Chairman Mao's telegram, he was very anxious.
Tao Yong knew very well in his heart that with our current strength, it was not enough to go head-to-head with the Kuomintang navy.
But how can the operational objectives set by the Chairman be achieved?
Tao Yong thought twice. The deputy commander in charge of the operation, Peng Deqing, called over,
Tao Yong pushed the telegram in front of Peng Deqing's eyes,
Peng Deqing was Tao Yong's old subordinate, and on September 8, 1954, he was transferred from the commander of the 27th Army to the deputy commander of the Navy of the East China Military Region.
After listening to Tao Yong's words, Peng Deqing stared at the chart for a long time.
Finally, Peng Deqing said,
Tao Yong glared at him,
Seeing this, Peng Deqing did not say anything.
But Tao Yong was on the side, but he talked to himself.
Suddenly, Tao Yong slammed the table, startling Peng Deqing.
Straight to see Tao Yong stand up excitedly,
Thinking of this, the two lay on the chart, trying to find an ambush area.
But how can you let a torpedo boat enter the ambush area without knowing it?
This made the two of them difficult again.
At this time, Tao Yong said to Peng Deqing,
Peng Deqing nodded, "You are stupid again, I listen to you, but there are words first, you are not allowed to pour me." ”
The two were in front of the chart, summing up and finally coming up with a brilliant plan.
In the late evening of October 31, 1954, a frigate formation of the East China Military Region Navy appeared swaggering on the East China Sea and sailed directly to the waters of Zhoushan.
Soon, the radar of the Kuomintang detected this formation.
The Kuomintang showed through radar that the formation circled the waters of Zhoushan and then returned at night.
The Kuomintang radar soldiers observed for several more hours, found no abnormalities, reported to their superiors, and then went to rest.
But the Kuomintang never expected that six torpedo boats of our army, also dragged by frigates, entered the waters of Zhoushan.
It turned out that the corvette was bulky, and the torpedo boat, towed by its sponsons, was simply not visible on the radar.
This is the clever plan that Tao Yong and Peng Deqing came up with.
Tao Yong was particularly fond of torpedo boats, which were imported from the Soviet Union when the torpedo boat unit was first formed.
But since 1951, our army has been able to design and manufacture torpedo boats on its own.
The six speedboats of the same model were of the same type, with a displacement of only 22 tons.
The main armament was two 450 mm torpedo tubes and two 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine guns.
As well as 4 high-power thrusters, which can make the speed of the speedboat reach 52 knots.
But the weakness of the speedboat is also very obvious, that is, there is no defensive ability.
As long as one medium-powered shell is fired, it will be blown to pieces.
The fighters on the speedboat also knew well, but they had only one thought, that is, to find the target and sink it.
On November 3, Tao Yong received intelligence that a large Kuomintang warship was on its way to the sea area scheduled for ambush.
Tao Yong immediately issued an order, and the torpedo boat immediately attacked.
After receiving the order, 6 torpedo boats immediately headed for the target area.
However, the weather at sea is unpredictable, and in an instant, the wind and clouds change suddenly and the waves are fierce.
Torpedo boats are in danger of capsizing at any time, and they simply cannot carry out combat missions.
Hate had to give the order to let the speedboat return to the hiding place and continue to standby.
This wait is another 10 days.
The longest standby of a torpedo boat at sea is only 15 days.
If there are no fighters by then, then they must be evacuated and returned to the rear to rest.
October 13, the night before the end of standby time.
The torpedo fleet received an order, and the enemy ships had already departed from Dachen Island and were immediately ready for battle.
On October 14, at 1 a.m., the torpedo fleet received an order for four of the speedboats to enter the first level of combat readiness.
Suddenly, four speedboats lined up in a row, following each other head and tail, advancing at equal speed.
Soon, the speedboat came to the combat area.
At 1:25 a.m., the enemy ship entered the radar blind zone.
Since the speedboats did not have radar equipment, they received an order to search for targets on their own.
The fighters on the speedboat can only search with the naked eye.
Three minutes later, Wang Jingchun, a gunner standing at the bow of the boat, reported,
Almost at the same time, Ge Mianmian, a soldier working in the chart room, also reported,
The situation of the enemy was quickly reported to the Naval Operations Department of the East China Military Region.
Tao Yong grabbed the microphone and directly ordered,
After receiving the order, 4 torpedo boats, two of which served as assists and the other two as interdictioners.
After approaching the enemy ship, it was discovered that it was the Kuomintang "Taiping" warship.
It is an American-made frigate with a displacement of 1520 tons, a speed of 21.5 knots, and 220 officers and men.
Various guns, 20 anti-aircraft guns, and two groups of 48-round rocket launchers.
The "Taiping" warship is a trump card in the hands of the Kuomintang and is very fierce.
Tao Yong wanted to kill him for a long time, but he couldn't find the right opportunity.
Unexpectedly, this time the "Taiping" itself sent it to the door.
At this time, the speedboat was only six or seven nautical miles from the "Taiping".
Even the bridges, gun positions, radars of enemy ships can be clearly seen.
However, the enemy was unaware of this catastrophe, and still sailed east unhurriedly.
At this time, one of the speedboats, which was in charge of the main attack, began to turn to the right in order to occupy a strong attack position.
The other speedboat, which was mainly attacking, mistakenly thought that it had reached an area suitable for attack.
The speedboat continued to travel in the intended direction, which caused the distance between the two speedboats of the main attack to become larger and larger.
The two speedboats behind who acted as blocking also plugged in from the middle.
This disrupted the originally planned formation and made it impossible to attack according to the predetermined plan.
At this moment, the enemy ship "Taiping" also discovered our speedboat.
While sounding the warning, the enemy ship turned on full power and fled towards the Yushan Islands in the northeast direction.
This definitely can't let it go, and the four speedboats don't care about maintaining the formation and immediately pursue at high speed.
Four speedboats swooped up from the left and right sides with a thunderous force.
By 1:35, four speedboats, chasing only 1 nautical mile from the enemy ship, began to release torpedoes.
Four speedboats simultaneously fired eight torpedoes, drew eight clear tracks on the sea, and surrounded the "Taiping".
This torpedo is three meters long and weighs 1,000 kilograms, and after launch, it relies on inertial guidance to find targets.
Torpedoes contain more than 500 kilograms of high-explosive charges inside, and even large warships will be killed in the sea if they are hit by one.
Just as the four speedboats retreated, there was a loud noise behind them.
The soldiers of the fleet looked back and saw a huge column of water gushing from the port side of the "Taiping".
In front of the bridge, a thick black smoke also rose.
Subsequently, enemy ships began to tilt to the left.
The enemy on the "Taiping" blindly shot in all directions, indiscriminately firing guns.
The speedboat immediately reported to the naval operations command of the East China Military Region,
When this triumphant news reached the war room, the pressure in Tao Yong's heart was immediately swept away.
He held the microphone in his hand and shouted to the personnel on the speedboat,
Tao Yong hung up the phone, turned to Peng Deqing and said,
Peng Deqing also smiled a flower on his face, and quickly agreed,
After hours of death throes, the Taiping sank at around 7 a.m. on November 14.
After hearing this news, Tao Yong laughed happily,
