Chapter 1702 Drag away
At this time, my country's control over the deep sea is relatively weak. In comparison, the Japanese have the Japan Coast Guard, which has much greater control over the deep sea than we do. Currently, we mainly rely on the spontaneous protection of our fishermen, and most of the time we have to rely on ourselves to fight against them.
The other ship, however, was operating under the protection of a patrol vessel, which is why it was so fearless and came over repeatedly.
On the other hand, Taiwan Province is close to the DYD fishing grounds, and fishermen operate here in addition to the Taiwan Strait.
It's perfectly normal for two or even three of them to meet.
And South Korea might occasionally come over.
Conflicts between Taiwanese fishing boats and Japanese fishing boats were common news at this time, and the frictions they generated were no less than those between Taiwan and Japan.
Ye Yaodong didn't dare let the boat get too close, but asked Lao Zhang to stop the boat at a distance and observe first.
Through his binoculars, he saw several young men on the Taiwanese fishing boat running to the side of the boat with bundles of rope. Taking advantage of the moment when the Japanese fishing boat was adjusting its direction, they tied one end of the rope to the anchor and swung it violently at the stern of the other boat!
His eyes lit up. The rope got tangled in the propeller of the Japanese fishing boat, and the engine immediately made a strange "putt-putt" sound, slowing down the speed and preventing it from colliding with the fishing boat.
The captain of the Japanese fishing boat was so anxious that he ran out of the cockpit and shouted into the walkie-talkie for a long time.
Now all we can do is watch Taiwanese fishing boats use ropes to navigate and outmaneuver the Japanese ships.
"Wow, that's really impressive! You can do that? That's so cool, amazing!"
"What's wrong, boss?"
The captain couldn't see clearly, but listening to his sighs, he felt a pang of unease, as the opportunity to make a name for himself was right before him.
Ye Yaodong muttered, "The Taiwanese fishermen have hung the thick ropes on their propellers. It would be best to pull up the already torn fishing nets, then throw them over and hang them on the propellers as well, so they can't move and are out of control."
He was gloating; if he were there, he would definitely have done the same.
After all, the rope had already entangled the other party's propeller, causing the engine to make strange noises and slowing down the fishing boat.
Even if it costs a thousand or so yuan for the fishing net, we must make sure the other party suffers heavy losses and can no longer move an inch.
"Go and contact the other fishing boats in your area and tell them to hurry up and haul in their nets. If they are any later, they might get away."
"immediately."
Ye Yaodong had just finished giving his instructions when he saw that the fishing boats in the distance were actually doing just as he had said, and he was immediately excited.
However, these trawl nets are weighed down with lead weights, making them difficult to cast. But people have bamboo poles and other tools; there's always a way to overcome difficulties.
In addition, the propeller of this Japanese soldier was also tangled in the rope, making it inflexible and slowing down. It couldn't go very far and would only cause more serious malfunctions.
They wanted to untie the ropes, but they could only stop the boat and the propeller to allow someone to handle the situation, leaving them in a dilemma.
The two sides were locked in a stalemate, with one side untying the rope while the other side added to the chaos.
It wasn't until the tattered fishing net swirled in the waves, tangling like a ball of cotton thread around the propeller of the Japanese fishing boat, that the other party flew into a rage and jumped up on the deck.
The tangling of the fishing net is much more serious than the tangling of the rope.
While there are ways to untangle a rope, if the fishing net is tangled too tightly or has penetrated deep into the stern shaft, it can lead to damage to the stern shaft seal, oil leaks, and water ingress into the stern tube.
Taiwanese fishermen were initially at a disadvantage, with their fishing boats on the verge of being rammed, but now the situation has reversed.
They stood on the deck cheering with triumphant expressions, and even circled the Japanese fishing boats to avoid being targeted.
The crew members on this Japanese fishing boat rushed to the stern the moment the fishing net became entangled. Some used long hooks to try to hook the net and pull it away, while others lay on the side of the boat to check the extent of the entanglement.
Although Ye Yaodong and his group were at a distance, they could see the general situation but could not hear any sound.
He could only make judgments based on what he saw through the telescope.
Just as the fishing net got tangled in the propeller, it jerked a few times. A few seconds later, he seemed to hear a sharp sound, and the Japanese fishing boat suddenly shook violently.
The once stable boat began to tilt and eventually came to a complete stop on the sea surface. The propeller at the stern was tightly wrapped in fishing nets and could no longer turn, with only occasional small pieces of fishing net fibers drifting with the waves.
"Hahahaha... Well done!" Ye Yaodong laughed heartily.
"What's wrong, boss..."
Ye Yaodong briefly explained what he had just seen to him: "Their propeller is probably broken, so the ship can't move. It's like finding a needle in a haystack."
"Should we just go for it?"
Have the other ships arrived yet?
"Two boats have arrived, others are on their way, and two more are a little slower, currently hauling in their nets."
"Those who have arrived, get ready. Let's sail over there together and drive away the Taiwanese fishing boats. They're not exactly easy to deal with. This area is ours; let them go to international waters."
"Alright!" The captain was excited; they could finally make it across.
Ye Yaodong never took the binoculars off his eyes and kept observing.
After retaliating, the Taiwanese fishing boats didn't leave immediately. They seemed to stand there mocking and ridiculing the other party, and they probably had already noticed that several of his boats were nearby, so they didn't do anything to him.
There are third parties involved, so no one dares to make any mistakes. Even a slight leak could become a major international incident.
After Captain Ye Yaodong and others reported that the fishing boats were arriving one after another, he also saw that about 11 of his own fishing boats had arrived, and there were still three or four more behind, so he decided not to wait any longer.
Give me the walkie-talkie.
The captain quickly handed it over.
After Ye Yaodong called out "hello" a few times, he quickly explained what he had just witnessed and the current situation.
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; so now it's our turn to be the oriole! Get ready to charge!"
The walkie-talkie was filled with noise; everyone was quite excited.
"Go for it!"
"Charge! Slaughter them all, leave no one alive!"
Ye Yaodong chuckled, "No need to get so excited. First, go and surround them, then send two boats to drive them away. Get rid of those troublesome Taiwanese fishing boats first, and then we'll tow that Japanese boat away, boat and all."
"Holy crap, drag them away? Where to?"
"Naturally, we'll tow it to the shore. We contacted the shore control, but there's been no response yet. Who knows when an official ship will come? We also don't know if there are any official ships training nearby right now. If not, we can't just wait here. We'll tow it back while we wait for a response."
"This is good, it's like capturing them!"
"Yes, just tow them back together, boat and all. With so many of us on board, they probably won't dare to resist or make any rash moves."
"Let's go over and have a look."
Ye Yaodong's boat led the way, followed closely by 11 other boats.
His friends were extremely excited. They had just come out and already gotten into big trouble. It was worth it. Even if they didn't make any money this year, it would be worth it.
As soon as their fishing boats gathered together, the two boats on the other side became alert.
Before they even arrived, the Taiwanese fishing boats, seeing their red flags waving in the wind, had already sped off.
"What?! They just ran away?"
"He ran really fast."
"I thought we had to drive over and catch them, but they just drove off."
"It's good that they ran away. It saves us trouble. Now we can concentrate on dealing with those Japanese devils."
"It's no use for them to stay there even if they don't run away. The fishing nets are all lost and have been used to fill the Japanese fishing boats. They can't fish anymore, so they can only go back to rest and prepare a new fishing net before they can go out to sea to fish again."
"Haha, so they're killing a thousand enemies but losing eight hundred of their own, and then they can only go home?"
"A man fights for a breath, a Buddha fights for a stick of incense! If you get angry, of course I won't have a good time, and you won't have a good time either."
"Haha, let's hurry over there, the Japanese ships are stuck."
It only took them a few minutes to sail over, and the Taiwanese fishing boats had already gone far away, leaving only the lone Japanese ship drifting on the sea, shouting and cursing.
Twelve boats swarmed forward, completely surrounding the fishing boat, which appeared to be over 50 meters long.
Those little dwarfs were gesturing and jumping around on the deck, babbling a bunch of incomprehensible nonsense.
Ye Yaodong instructed the captain, "Go, ask on our internal channel if anyone on any of the ships speaks Japanese."
"I asked around and nobody knew. At most, they could say a couple of things like 'Baka yarou,' 'Yamete,' or 'shige'..."
"Okay, then give me the loudspeaker."
They don't understand Japanese, but the other party might understand Chinese?
If they dare to come all this way to fish near their home, they should at least have a translator, right?
Ye Yaodong, holding a megaphone, stood on the wheelhouse, leaned against the railing, cleared his throat, and shouted: "You ships over there, you've crossed the line, do you know that? This is our territory!"
"Do you know who we are? Look at the red flag on our ship. We advise you not to make a futile struggle, and we won't do anything to you!"
"But we won't leave you here on our territory. What you need to do now is give up resistance."
"Just obediently let us tow your boat back to shore and then hand it over to our local government to deal with!"
“I have 12 boats here, with more than 500 people. You should think carefully about whether you want us to board the boats forcibly, or just let me tow the boats away and hand them over to the government!”
There were actually less than 500 people, only a little over 300, but that didn't stop him from bluffing. Anyway, there were more... He counted, and there were still 4 ships behind them that hadn't caught up yet.
There aren't 500 people, but there are 400, so let's round it up to 500.
After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he put down the loudspeaker and asked the captain to notify all the ships to bring out their weapons as a deterrent.
But they weren't going to give them too much time to deal with it; their ship was damaged, not their communications, so they could still call for help.
"You have five minutes. If there is no response, we will force you to board the ship."
He held a megaphone, enjoying the other person's flustered state.
There were only about twenty people on the other side's deck.
How are you going to fight them? You could easily kill them.
He enjoys bullying the weak with numbers.
