Showa15 (1940) 65438+1October 20th, the Japanese Navy's "Yangyan" class destroyer No.8 was completed. On March 24th of the following year, it was launched and named "Destroyer Xuefeng". No one realized that this is a super hoodoo with a mysterious curse, which can suck away all the luck of the surrounding friendly forces. From this day on, the "Great Japanese Empire", which was constantly sucked away by the national movement, gradually went to the fate of destruction. ...
After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the destroyer Xuefeng was incorporated into the Fourth Commando of the Third Fleet, and took part in actions such as attacking Luzon Island, supporting the landing operation in Ramon Bay, occupying Sulawesi Island and the naval battle in Surabaya. Subsequently, the Third Fleet 10 detachment of the South Pacific Theater was transferred to escort the aircraft carriers Shoukaku and Ruihe.
1942165438+1October 12, in the third Solomon naval battle. The destroyer Xuefeng, the destroyer 13 and the light patrol "Chang Liang" * * * are guarding two battleships, Kirishima and Bi Rui. At 23: 30, the American cruiser "Helena" found the Japanese ship; At 23: 50, the fleets of the two armies moved closer together and launched a chaotic artillery battle that lasted for 24 minutes. The battle ended in American defeat, but two Japanese destroyers sank, 1 battleship, 1 cruiser, and three destroyers were injured. Among them, the Birui, as the main escort object of the destroyer Xuefeng, was not only hit hard in the first battle, but also attacked by the US military the next day, so that it was blown up and had to sink itself. On the other hand, the destroyer Xuefeng was unscathed in this battle, thus opening the prelude to its auspicious history of killing countless current ships.
Two days later, on the night of 14, Nobuyuki Nakatomi led four cruisers, including Kirishima and Kaohsiung, and nine destroyers, including the destroyer Xuefeng, and encountered a fleet led by Major General Lee of the United States in the west of Sava Island. The power system of the battleship South Dakota, one of the main forces of the US military, failed and became a target ship at sea. However, the superstructure of the US military was beaten beyond recognition. Hiding behind South Dakota, Washington used radar to guide accurately, and hit Kirishima with 9 406mm shells and more than 40 127mm shells in 7 minutes, so Kirishima also reported to Bi Rui. Of course, the destroyer Xuefeng, an excellent RP, was not injured at all.
From the end of 1942 to the beginning of 1943, the destroyer Xuefeng escorted the two aircraft carriers "Eagle" and "Ruifeng" successively, transported the Guadao Army to retreat three times, and dragged the seriously injured sister ship "Dance Wind" back to the truck. In this series of actions, the destroyer Xuefeng has never suffered any harm.
1 March 9431day, the destroyer Xuefeng escorted the transport fleet to New Guinea in the Bismarck Sea. Due to the U.S. air strikes for several days, the Japanese army * * * lost four destroyers and seven transport ships, namely "Snow White", "Chaochao", "Shijinze" and "Famine Tide", with heavy casualties. However, the destroyer Xuefeng and its 1 infantry brigade did not suffer any losses, and by the way, they salvaged a large group of friendly soldiers.
On July 12, the destroyer Xuefeng, which was replaced with new radar and sonar (13 air-to-air radar, 2 1 sea-to-sea radar, 23 shooting command radar and 3 sonar), took the lead in discovering the US military in the night battle in Kelon Bangala, which contributed to the correct judgment of naval commanders. On the other hand, the destroyer Xuefeng does not forget to play the role of "auspiciousness": service.
After the battle, the destroyer Xuefeng safely transported 65,438+0,200 army soldiers to land.
1944 June19, the Philippine naval battle (Mariana naval battle) broke out. The destroyer Xuefeng should have been on the front line, but due to the accidental damage of the propeller in a training before the war, the speed was halved, and it was temporarily reassigned as the escort task for the returning tanker Xiyangwan. Rao is like this. The destroyer "Snow Wind" was lucky, during which it met an American submarine.
Although it once again showed its own "Xiangrui", the destroyer Xuefeng still felt great pressure, because in the Mariana naval battle, the "Xiangrui II", "Xiangrui III" and "Effort" of the joint fleet were the same, as were the Japanese "Taihō", "Shoukaku" and "Eagle Strike". In this way, I'm afraid the position of destroyer Xuefeng 1 will be lost.
However, there is still a chance. 10 year 10 On October 20th, the largest naval battle in the history of mankind started. Three Japanese auspicious boats compete on the same stage, patrolling Aidang, Mo Ye, Gaoding, Shizuoka, Bird Sea and Zhu Mo respectively. Battleships Musashi, Shancheng and Fusang; Aircraft carriers Ruihe, Chitose, Ruifeng and Chiyoda (among which Chitose, Ruifeng and Chiyoda are light aircraft carriers); And several other light cruisers and destroyers. In this battle, Xiangrui, the third wild branch of the three brothers, encountered 34 US special mixed formations (6 new battleships, 8 cruisers and n destroyers (N= 14)), which were smashed into pieces by the US military with enough saturated firepower to overturn a fleet. No one is alive. Although the destroyer Xuefeng was unscathed in this battle, it also rescued a large group of friendly sailors.
1 1 year1October 2 1 day, the destroyer Xuefeng and the current ship Pufeng escorted the battleship King Kong on their way back, and were attacked by the American submarine Sea Lion in the Taiwan Province Strait. Torpedoes sank the King Kong and the Beaufort, and the destroyer Xuefeng was safe and sound. He rescued two sailors who sank the ship and returned home safely.
At this point, the reputation of the destroyer Xuefeng as a "broom star" spread in the navy, and there was a saying that "the destroyer Xuefeng rained and Wugang sasebo rained". Some people even bet on which of the two ships has better luck. But people in the Admiralty don't know whether they believe it or not:1October 29th, 165438+ was modified from the hull of No.3 Yamato class. At that time, the world's largest and most technologically advanced cutting-edge aircraft carrier "Xinbao" was escorted by the destroyer Xuefeng and two other destroyers, and made a trial flight in the Seto Inland Sea. The curse of the destroyer Xuefeng soon came into effect: the American submarine "Shooting Fish" found Xinjian and fired six torpedoes, four of which hit Xinjian. Due to the unfinished hull and the inexperience of the injured personnel, Nobuka quickly sank due to too much water, becoming the shortest life carrier in the history of the navy-less than 20 hours from the maiden voyage to the sinking.
When the captain of the destroyer Xuefeng looked at the crestfallen crew of Xinbao salvaged from the deck of the destroyer Xuefeng, he couldn't help saying, "It's a habit, it's always like this ... This kind of wind was blown when saving people on other ships ...". Colonel Temple is right. Since the war, what the destroyer Snow Wind has done most is not to fight the enemy but to get its own people. ...
After that, the deck of the destroyer Xuefeng was full of loyal crew members and returned safely.
In the following months, the US military launched a large-scale air raid on the Japanese military port. Destroyer Xue Feng always fired more than10,000 anti-aircraft artillery shells in previous air raids, but he didn't suffer any damage.
During this period1945 65438+124 October, the second son of the three brothers, Xiangrui, was sunk by an American submarine in the waters north of Singapore, and most of the crew were buried at the bottom of the sea. The so-called gambling between the destroyer Xuefeng and Shiyu ended in the victory of the destroyer Xuefeng!
1On April 7, 945, the Japanese navy assembled its remaining forces and launched a deadly suicide attack, the Battle of Gathering Water. The destroyer Xuefeng was incorporated into the joint fleet to escort the flagship Yamato. In the previous naval battles between the Philippines, Vietnam and Wright Bay, the destroyer Xuefeng only carried out support tasks in the rear, killing countless active ships. Sure enough, the cruiser Yazhong and the destroyers Bangfeng, Loki Wind, Chaoshuang and Xiaxia were all sunk or sunk after heavy losses in the bombing of American planes. Only three of the hundreds of sailors of the destroyer Xuefeng were killed and 15 were injured.
In this battle, the joint fleet was almost wiped out. After the remaining four destroyers fled back to sasebo, they found an unexploded American bomb in the granary of the destroyer Snow Wind! Once the bomb explodes, it may blow through the bottom of the destroyer Xuefeng and sink directly into the Yamato-but it is a dud.
After the chrysanthemum water, the Japanese navy has existed in name only. The rest of the warships are hiding in various military ports to survive. The destroyer Xuefeng made transitions in Wuhe, Gong Jin Bay and Wugang successively, and experienced dozens of large-scale air strikes by enemy planes, totaling 15000 sorties, but only one was shot, and it was a dud! In an air raid, the destroyer Xuefeng accidentally hit its own mine to avoid the bomb, but the "good omen" of the destroyer Xuefeng came true again-the mine fuse failed! And the destroyer "Chu Shuang" next to it hit the mine with the same evasive action. ...
When the Pacific War broke out, there were 82 destroyers of various types in Japan. After the war, only two destroyers, No.1 and No.4, survived, while the destroyer No.4 survived because it missed many major battles for maintenance. Moreover, as an old warship with a voyage of1204,800 miles and participated in most important battles in the Pacific War, the destroyer Xuefeng almost never suffered serious damage. Every time you get shot, you either miss the point, miss it, or miss it at all. In the whole war, less than 10 crew members died, 2 were missing, and all 4 captains died of natural causes. The Japanese navy called the destroyer Xuefeng "the immortal bird" and "the miracle destroyer", but the crew of other ships hated the destroyer Xuefeng very much, because few warships attacked with it could come back safely!
World War II is over, but the legend of the destroyer Snow Wind is not over. ...
During the period of 1947, the allied headquarters decided to allocate 24 Japanese destroyers and 68 coastal defense ships under the ***92 destroyer to China, the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union in three batches as compensation. The lottery ceremony was held in the auditorium of Allied Headquarters in Tokyo on June 28th. 1947. The United States won the destroyer Xuefeng, but after the war, the number of American naval vessels was so large that a destroyer was simply a burden. Considering that China's navy (Kuomintang) was extremely weak at that time, the ship was transferred to China.
Just now, we talked about a large surplus of US navy ships after the war ... Yes, after the lottery, the US navy began to eliminate a large number of ships. However, some American warships that took photos with the destroyer Snow Wind were dismantled and retired, and some were resold to other countries. ...
On July 6th, 1947, the destroyer Xuefeng sailed from Changpu Port to Shanghai. As a Japanese compensation ship, 1 was handed over to the National Government and renamed as "Danyang". However, the "auspiciousness" on the ship has passed the "test of actual combat", and all the "Emperor Blessing" and "Imperial Three Thousand Gods" are useless, and a new headmaster can't stop it. On the day of the handover ceremony, President Jiang saw the report of the PLA's attack. Two days later, Liu Deng's army broke through the Yellow River defense line and jumped thousands of miles into Dabie Mountain. The strategic initiative in China's civil war changed hands, and it was only a matter of time before the Kuomintang was completely defeated ...
1948 10, the destroyer escort "Chongqing", which has been renamed "Danyang", participated in the famous Tashan blocking war and completely radiated Xiangrui's skills to land. The Kuomintang troops organized many attacks, but failed to break through the PLA's defense lines. In the battle, the Kuomintang was annihilated by 6549 people, and several divisions were wiped out. More importantly, Jinzhou fell, and the overall situation of Liaoshen War was decided!
Later, Chongqing probably couldn't bear the dazzling aura of the destroyer Xuefeng and simply led an uprising. ...
In the next 20 years, the poor national fleet will face a * * * production party navy whose strength is obviously not as good as its own. Especially 1958 golden gate artillery battle, people lost.
1966 165438+1October16, Danyang retired and stayed at the dock of the naval academy as a training ship.
197 1 65438+February 8, 2008, perhaps unbearable curse, the national army finally made up its mind to disintegrate it. On the day when the order was delivered, the Chiang Kai-shek clique was driven out of the United Nations, and on the day when the destroyer Xuefeng was dismantled, Chiang Kai-shek was prone to accidents. 197 1 1 in February, the anchor and steering wheel of destroyer Xuefeng were given to Japan, and the financial crisis broke out in Japan in 72. Now it is placed in the Technical School and Educational Reference Hall of Maritime Self-Defense Force in Jiangtian Island.
There are only two blades, a bell, an anchor and a steering wheel left in Xuefeng, which are stored in Taiwan Province and Japanese naval academies and memorial halls respectively.
Yukikaze's Last Auspicious Journey
1 964 In the middle of the night of May1Sunday, several "sea wolf boats" in Taiwan Province Province (an assault boat similar to a smuggling speedboat, which was used by the Kuomintang military to smuggle special warfare players to the mainland for harassing activities) tried to attack the Fujian coast, which was discovered by the PLA radar and was immediately intercepted by several Type 62 escort boats of the PLA. Xuefeng (then renamed Danyang), a Kuomintang army on duty nearby, immediately rushed to the fighting waters for rescue. Facing the Danyang with a displacement of 2500 tons, the displacement is only 1 10 tons. No.577 escort boat of the People's Liberation Army seized the T-word and fired violently at Danyang for 3 minutes. Danyang immediately turned and withdrew from the battle. That night, a "sea wolf ship" sank, one was captured (after towing and sinking), and the rest fled.
This was the last recorded battle of Yukikaze.
