The officers and soldiers of the national army only knew that the army on the front line could no longer hold on and was retreating step by step.After a while, when the Chinese army in Taiwan is completely wiped out, the bombers of the Communist Army will fly to Taipei and Keelung and blow up their warships one by one.
All the national army officers and soldiers on the big ships were looking for reasons to leave their warships, and some warships even started when the captain disembarked first.
The officers and soldiers with a sense of responsibility, after disembarking from the warship, lived in a house at the dock more than 200 meters away from the warship.
The irresponsible officers and soldiers disappeared without a trace after getting off the warship, and even ran out of Keelung and hid in the countryside without seeing anyone.
By April 4, even if Li Yuxi wanted to send warships to sea to fight to the death, these warships would not be able to sail.If the military police were sent to arrest the sailor officers on board, these warships would turn around and shoot at Keelung Harbor if they sailed out of the harbor.
On the afternoon of April 4th and the morning of April 20st, when our army rushed all the way to receive Keelung, what was intercepted was the Republic of China Navy that "separated man and ship" in the entire port.
……
"Let me see what's there," Tang Hua snatched Nie Shuai's documents, "6 fleet destroyers are intact, 1 is damaged and scrapped, and 1 is abandoned. 3 escort destroyers..."
In order for Chiang Kai-shek to hold on to the island of Taiwan despite the loss of Penghu, the United States spent more money than it did in the 50s.
The large fleet destroyers at the end of World War II and after the war, such as Fletcher and Keeling, were given in advance.
From 1950 to 1953, the United States first assisted 6 Fletcher-class ships, and then began to assist the Keeling-class ships.
The national army did not live up to it. One of the Fletcher class received was stranded and damaged when it returned to the ship in mid-1952. It was towed back to Keelung and found that it could not be repaired, so it was left there and asked the United States for a retired one. Fletcher class.
这些弗莱彻级在4月12日凌晨被干掉2艘，在4月15日上午被干掉一艘，剩下的3艘都在基隆港里。
The other three fleet destroyers are the "Keeling" class.
“桂阳、清阳、安阳这三艘舰是弗莱彻级，”唐华指着文件上的舰艇列表说，“美军在二战后期的主力驱逐舰。满载排水量3050吨，这可比我们从苏联买的07型驱逐舰大整整1000吨。舰况也新，都是43-44年建成服役的。主炮5门单管127毫米舰炮，高平两用。鱼雷是2座五联装533毫米鱼雷发射管。07型驱逐舰是四座单管主炮和两座三联装533毫米鱼雷。”
"Then the Keeling class... was built and served in 45-46, and it didn't catch up with World War II. 3400% of them are new destroyers. This one is even more powerful, with a full-load displacement of more than 3 tons, three main guns with dual 127mm guns, and torpedoes. Like the Fletcher class, the 2mm 533 mm two-seat five-unit installation... If we had known, we would not have spent money to buy Type 07 destroyers from the Soviet Union!"
Tang Hua looked at Nie Shuai, Nie Shuai is of course in a good mood now.Guessing that Xiao Jinguang on the other side of the front finger in Xiamen is already happy to walk around.
"The one that was damaged and scrapped was also a Fletcher class. Last year, the National Army ran aground by itself," Tang Hua said. "This ship can't be wasted. Find a way to disassemble it in Keelung, and use the parts to supply the other three ships." A Fletcher-class ship... But it can only be supplied for a while, and if it lasts for a long time, we will find a way to set up a supporting parts workshop in the shipyard."
The Fletcher class was used by the navies of many countries until the 80s, the Keeling class was used by the U.S. Navy until the 70s, and the Gulf Navy in this time and space has been used until the 21st century. There is no reason for China not to continue using it, at least for two years. 30 years.
"The abandoned destroyer seems to be a big ship," Nie Shuai said, "It's still a Japanese-made destroyer."
"That ship is the 'Danyang', the former 'Snow Wind' of the Japanese Navy, which belongs to the Kagero class of Type A destroyers, with a full load displacement of 2500 tons, but strong firepower." Tang Hua said, "This 'Danyang' No....return to the furnace to make steel."
Nie Shuai: "Huh?! Reheating?"

Chapter 67, Commander of the Taiwan Military Region
“小组最后进行探查的是‘丹阳’号驱逐舰。该舰1950年7月之后再未出海，1952年2月起舰上仅保留1/5的舰员用于维持机器，其余舰员均调入新接收的美国驱逐舰上。”
"When we stepped onto the deck of the 'Danyang', we felt that the deck of the ship was obviously leaning to the left. After inquiry, we learned that a cabin on the left front of the 'Danyang' ship was leaking due to corrosion. The sailors closed the watertight door of the cabin and allowed seawater to pour into the cabin, causing the ship to list 7 degrees to the left."
"The oil-fired boiler and steam turbine on the ship have not been started for two years. When we entered the cabin for inspection, the oil-fired boiler had obvious stains, and many places of the steam pipeline were severely corroded. Ask the sailor on duty whether the ship's boiler can be started now, the sailor None of them can give affirmative or negative answers, but they said that the condition of the main engine of the ship is very bad, and it is best not to ignite rashly before a thorough overhaul to prevent the boiler from exploding."
"The 'Danyang' was originally equipped with three double-mounted Japanese-style 127mm naval guns. When Chiang Kai-shek received the ship from Japan, the main guns on the ship had been removed. After arriving in China, three single-barreled guns were collected from the US aid. The 3mm naval gun is installed on three empty gun mounts. The 127mm naval gun is an extremely old model with a barrel of only 3 times the diameter and no protective turret, and all operations are carried out in the open."
"The dual-purpose slide rail for depth bombs and mines at the stern is completely rusted, and the depth bomb ejection device is missing."
"When leaving the ship, it was found that the anchor used by the 'Danyang' had been lost."
……
"Look, Boss Nie, am I right?"
After waiting for more than half an hour, Xiamen Qianzhi sent the report of the on-site investigation team to Beijing. Tang Hua pointed to the report and said: "Although we are not superstitious, the national army is superstitious. The 'Danyang' went to sea. Later, Chiang Kai-shek received a large number of American warships, lacking qualified sailors, and transferred most of the sailors of the 'Danyang' to other destroyers, resulting in poor maintenance of the ship, and now it is very difficult to restore it to use. "
"It's a pity, it's a pity," Nie Shuai said, "A destroyer with strong firepower, built in 1939 or 1940, is not too old."
The two were chatting, and the computer beeped again to indicate that there was an email.
"The 'Danyang' ship is in poor condition, mainly because the main guns are completely out of shape, and we don't have ready-made twin turrets to make it work normally. But after all, this is a large destroyer, and the Navy currently intends to use it as much as possible. Repair, if it can go to sea, it will be used as a training ship, if it cannot go to sea, it will be moored in the port, as a primary floating training platform for sailors. Naval Commander Xiao Jinguang”
Nie Shuai: "I'll say it can't be returned to the furnace. The navy is very poor now, so it's not willing to return to the furnace."
Tang Hua: ...
It is true that in the navy, whether it is an inland river gunboat or a grandpa coastal defense ship built in the 10s and 00s, all those over 800 tons are listed as capital ships. The "Danyang" is at least a 2500-ton Type-A destroyer. Just looking at it, the Navy is reluctant to dismantle it.
……
Beijing and Xiamen were thinking about how to use and modify the bunch of warships received in Keelung Port, and Bai Chongxi was also thinking about the ships in Keelung.
What he looked at was not the pier where the US/Japanese destroyers were moored, but the bustling US transport ships and cruise ships that were boarding people.
According to the peace agreement, the mass immigration in Keelung Port has lasted for two days.The U.S. Navy sends a batch of transport fleets into the port every morning and afternoon, parked at the pier, and then those who are identified by our army as ordinary citizens can leave with simple luggage.
It is not allowed to move the whole family in a big truck. Such a big family cannot even enter the dock.
The person who can enter the wharf and be allowed to board the ship is not a high-ranking KMT official or general, nor is he a rich man or capitalist, so let him go.
Bai Chongxi was not thinking about these things.He was thinking about running away.
His hobbies are mainly concentrated in the military, leading troops to make military exploits.Bai Chongxi is also one of the few generals in the national army who completed the transformation from the Northern Expedition & Civil War to the War of Resistance & Liberation War. Most of the other generals of the national army failed to complete the adaptation of the new war model. The greatly enhanced battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War has become a rookie.
In terms of politics, Bai Chongxi doesn't study it very hard, and his position has been consistent for decades and is very simple: I believe in the Three People's Principles, and any other doctrines are scumbags.
He was thinking that one evening, he would change into civilian clothes, bring two or three personal guards to the transport ship, identify himself, and flee Taiwan.
The U.S. military should not reject his asylum application. ……Bar?
But Bai Chongxi continued to ponder, and felt that this matter was becoming more and more unfeasible.
First of all, although China and the United States have tacitly allowed some Taiwanese citizens to leave, none of the party-state officials can leave.
what does that mean?It means that even if several 10 people were evacuated to Okinawa, they would not be able to form a decent government.The National Assembly as a whole was left in Taiwan. The President of the Republic of China, Li Zongren, went to Beijing after Taiwan. In theory, he was also one of China’s national leaders when he arrived in Beijing—the vice president of the country and the vice chairman of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.The legal system of the Republic of China has been completely suppressed and confessed here, and you still want to restore the country in Okinawa?Compound eggs.
... Well, Okinawa is not without a high-ranking official.Li Zongren knew that Hu Lian, who had a keen sense of smell, had fled to Okinawa by himself in a plane early in the morning, but now he is also silent.
In addition, there is a bigger person in the United States, although he is not an official, but has a much greater influence than Hu Lian.
Chang Song Meiling.
It is said that Song Guomu sent a letter to her third sister who lived in the United States, persuading her to return to the mainland, but the third sister decisively refused.
If Chang Song Meiling moved from the United States to Okinawa, maybe she could really be the leader of these hundreds of thousands of refugees.
But it can only be a leader.Chang Song Meiling's ability is very clear to Bai Chongxi, and she came to establish the government-in-exile as a joke.Moreover, Bai Chongxi and Chang Song Meiling hate each other, and he and Hu Lian also hate each other.
Not only is it with two annoying guys, but these two people can't do anything...
