1985, two sailors of the 3213 torpedo boat defected. The Chinese North Sea Fleet was ordered to pursue, but met South Korean Navy head-on. The two sides refused to give in to each other, and the war was about to break out.
sailors rebelled and planned for a long time
1985, on the afternoon of March 21, the 3213 torpedo boats, together with five other training boats, conducted military exercises in the Yellow Sea waters.
At 7 pm, the fleet training plan was completed and the return was successfully returned. 5 training boats have returned to the military port, but everyone has not seen the 3213 torpedo boat.
Command was worried that the torpedo boat would encounter an accident. It sent out signals to inquire many times, but never received a positive response. Only then did people realize that the 3213 torpedo boat might have really encountered an accident.
It turned out that after the maritime military exercise, the soldiers of the 3213 torpedo boat were already very tired and relaxed their vigilance.
At this time, the communication soldier Du Xinli seized the opportunity and came to the gun storage place while the person was unprepared. He pried open the lock on the cabinet, took out an submachine gun, and pistol from it, and then handed the pistol to the electric aviation soldier Wang Zhongrong.
After everything was ready, Du Xinli held a submachine gun in his hand, walked quickly to the deck, pushed open the door of the operating room, and shot violently into the inside.
This sudden accident was obviously beyond the expectations of the soldiers. Before the acting captain responded, he fell into a pool of blood.
Then, Du Xinli fired fire and shot at the other five soldiers one after another. In just a few minutes, six Chinese soldiers died by Du Xinli.
3213The other soldiers on the torpedo boat were very frightened when they heard the gunshots. They had no weapons in their hands, so they could only hide for the time being. Du Xinli and Wang Zhongrong, holding weapons, tied them up and escorted them into the cabin.
At this time, they were planning a huge conspiracy...
In 1984, the recruits Du Xinli and Wang Zhongrong were transferred from the 3215 torpedo boat to the 3213 torpedo boat. The two were born in rural areas and had a difficult family life. In order to survive, they chose to join the army.
Therefore, for Du Xinli and Wang Zhongrong, wealth has great attraction.
After going to the 3213 torpedo boat, Du Xinli often secretly listened to Taiwan's radio. When he learned that "referendum" has huge benefits, he had evil thoughts and colluded with Wang Zhongrong to formulate a defection plan.
In Du Xinli's view, the sea navigation distance is too long, and they need to find a transit point. There is no extradition regulations between China and South Korea, and even if the South Korean government arrests them, it has no right to send them back to the mainland.
In this way, they can save their lives without worries. In this way, the two of them set the defection in South Korea.
Therefore, after the successful hijacking of the ship, Du Xinli and Wang Zhongrong turned around and drove towards South Korea. They think everything is in control and are complacent about it.
At the same time, the headquarters could not receive news about the torpedo boats, and sent several ships, , to look for them, and at the same time dispatched aircraft. searched repeatedly on the road that the 3213 torpedo boats, but found nothing.
9 hours later, the 3213 torpedo boat suddenly lost its power. It turns out that Du Xinli and Wang Zhongrong, who had no driving experience, did not know that the torpedo boat's fuel had been exhausted and there was no supply.
Du Xinli and the other two were helpless and could only let the torpedo boat drift toward Mingshan Island in the direction of the water.
Montenegro Island is at the junction of North Korea and South Korea. In order to seek help from South Korea, Du Xinli fired a flare. However, Montenegro Island is located remotely and does not attract people's attention. Du Xinli and Wang Zhongrong can only wait anxiously.
On the morning of 22, the South Korean "Yuwei VI" ship passed through Montenegro Island. found the stagnant 3213 torpedo boat from unknown origin. The Koreans did not dare to act rashly and could only report to the guards by radio first.
At the same time, Chinese technicians heard that South Korea's west coast had frequent radio exchanges. my country speculated that perhaps the 3213 torpedo boat drifted to the South Korean waters. No one knows what happened.
The South Korean Coast Guard received the news and immediately dispatched the patrol boat to the vicinity of Montenegro Island, and dragged the 3213 torpedo boat that had run out of fuel to Xiawangye Island.
China and South Korea confronted each other, and they were tense and conscious of the seriousness of the matter. China sent several ships such as icebreaker , submarine and other ships to form a naval formation and sail towards Xiawanghe Island.
At that time, China and South Korea had a delicate relationship, and The Chinese government could only contact the South Korean Consulate in Hong Kong first and requested South Korea to send ships to assist our country in rescue.
In order to avoid entering South Korea's territorial waters and causing misunderstandings from the other party, our army hung an internationally universal life-saving signal flag on the mast of the ship, indicating that China has no intention of invasion.
At this time, the 3213 torpedo boat was still tense. Du Xinli and Wang Zhongrong rejected the South Korean Guard's request to "submit weapons" and threatened the other party to contact Taiwan as soon as possible.
After learning the whole story, the Korean Maritime Guard towed the No. 3213 to Qunsan Port. Then, the Koreans placed the surviving crew in a tourist hotel.
Not long after, South Korea sent a special investigation team to ask about the specific details of the parties involved. During the inquiry, they deliberately avoided political issues and only asked about Du Xinli and Wang Zhongrong's positions and names.
At this time, the naval formation sent by China began to approach South Korea's waters. Since China and South Korea have not yet established diplomatic relations, both sides are always in the tentative stage and maintain their performance calm.
China has filed a request to South Korea to retrieve the 3213 torpedo ship , and South Korea has been turning a deaf ear to it. What is even more infuriating is that South Korea actually tried to provoke China.
After discovering Chinese ships, South Korea ignored China's life-saving signal flag. sent the navy to fly two gunboats to warn China. Shortly after , South Korea sent the destroyer and the submarine hunter again to travel around the Chinese naval formation.
Why do South Korea dare to provoke China's naval formation?
It turns out that South Korea is worried that war will inevitably occur, so just in case, so it seeks help from the United States. With the support of the United States, South Korea seems to be fearless, so they are sailing around our fleet in an attempt to show their thin "naval strength."
South Korea's provocation intention is so obvious that China will never lose. The Central Military Commission issued an emergency order, and the surface combat ship of my country's North Sea Fleet was dispatched and approached in the direction where the torpedo boat was located.
China North Sea Fleet has a large main battleship of the Chinese Navy and is powerful in combat. The Central Military Commission decided to dispatch this fleet and also revealed to the Koreans indirectly that our country is not afraid of maritime wars.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Koreans turned around and asked the United States for help, providing the United States with an excuse to send troops. Therefore, the United States sent a large number of combat aircraft, and the flew over our warships with great might.
Before this, China had no plans to fight South Korea, but after the US military joined, the situation on the battlefield became complicated in an instant.
In order to protect its own security, China responded quickly, and also sent dozens of fighter jets to hover over the Chinese warship . Both sides are tense and war is about to break out.
Seeing that our country was going to take serious action, the United States quickly withdrew its fighter planes and then announced to the public that it had no position on the Sino-South Korea incident.
Shortly after the United States made a statement, Japan also made it clear that it would not intervene in the Sino-South Korea dispute, but Japan said that the tension between China and South Korea at sea may be closely related to politics.
Without the obstacles from the United States, China's fleet continued to march towards the torpedo ship.
After the United States evacuated, South Korea still had absolute "confidence" in itself. He was not willing to be outdone and once again organized a large number of civilian ships to block China's marching route.
South Korea warned China using radio: "You have entered South Korea's territorial waters, please evacuate immediately, otherwise we will use force to expel it."Our side immediately responded: "This sea area is the high seas, and we have the right to enter."
When both sides refused to give in, the atmosphere of maritime combat between China and South Korea has been rising , and we have entered a state of first-level preparation. China's air-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft guns have accurately locked down South Korea's targets, just waiting for the order from the superiors.
At the same time, China's vanguard and submarine have broken through South Korea's barriers. Once the two armies meet head-on, war will inevitably be... In a critical moment, under the shock of China's absolute firepower advantage, South Korea's fear gradually worsens.
23, the South Korean government continued to hold an cabinet meeting to discuss specific methods for disposing of torpedo boats. China's tough attitude has made South Korea begin to rethink the seriousness of the defection of Chinese sailors.
In South Korea's view, the relationship between Taiwan and mainland China is very delicate, and the safest way is to act in a low-key manner.
The South Korean government has claimed that the China's 3213 torpedo ship was traversed outside the sea, just an ordinary fight in the army, and has nothing to do with politics.
At that time, the Seoul Olympics would be held in South Korea. South Korea was unwilling to break up with China in this situation, so it released a message through the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency, asking the Chinese government to explain the reasons why China entered South Korea's territorial waters.
At the same time, South Korea will formulate its next action plan based on the answers of the Chinese government. After negotiations, China temporarily retreated outside the territorial waters line , waiting for South Korea's next action.
However, the news media that had been waiting for a long time was obviously unwilling to accept this explanation. Not long after, Japanese media released news, hyping up the behavior of Du Xinli and Wang Zhongrong, the sailors of the 3213 torpedo ship, indicating their willingness to defect to Taiwan.
Taiwan authorities learned of the news and quickly launched an action. Taiwan's "Foreign Minister" Zhu Fusong met with the so-called "South Korea Ambassador to Taiwan" Kim Jong-kun, and asked South Korea to immediately release Du Xinli and Wang Zhongrong and allow them to run to Taiwan Island .
However, the South Korean government was unwilling to continue this matter, so it denied Taiwan’s “rejection” statement.
Foreign media with ulterior motives continue to exaggerate, and the Taiwan authorities have always been resolute. Zhu Fusong contacted the ambassador to South Korea again and requested a dialogue with Du Xinli and Wang Zhongrong.
In order to convince South Korea, Taiwan invested a lot of manpower and financial resources, and formed a delegation of 300 people, and went to South Korea for negotiations in person.
At the same time, Taiwan secretly contacted the United States and asked it to release two traitors. Under tremendous pressure, South Korea began to sway left and right.
China has dragged back the time of revoking the 3213 torpedo boat, and we obviously realized the obstacles. In order to avoid further expansion of the situation, China has also actively launched negotiations with South Korea.
Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs authorized the vice president of Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong branch to write two memorandums in his personal name.
In the memorandum, China made a specific explanation of our actions entering the South Korean waters and expressed its apology. At the same time, our country also expressed sincere gratitude to South Korea for its timely actions to rescue Chinese sailors.
Finally, after communication between the two sides, South Korea decided to return the ship.
was successfully handed over. After discussion, the two sides will complete the handover in the high seas at an equal distance from the ships between the two sides on the 27th.
At the same time, South Korea issued a bill to China. China and South Korea have been confrontation for many days, and the nutrition and medical expenses of Chinese crew members have totaled NT$150,000 NT$4.
At the same time, in order to control Du Xinli and Wang Zhongrong, many Korean crew members suffered minor injuries to varying degrees. China Naturally accepts all this bill. Before the handover of
, South Korea specially dispatched technicians to repair China's torpedo boats, and transported 6 coffins from Seoul , and properly resettled 6 dead sailors. Soon after, our country's survivors also boarded the sewership ship.
Other personnel are properly placed, but how to deal with Du Xinli and Wang Zhongrong has become a big problem. Although Du Xinli and Wang Zhongrong defected to China, they still belong to China's crew and must be returned to China.
The Korean government sent two betrayers out in a noble manner, which is probably too ostentatious; if is secretly deported, Du Xinli and Wang Zhongrong will resist or even escape, the South Korean government will not be able to bear this responsibility.
After weighing the pros and cons, the South Korean government came up with a brilliant idea. In the early morning, Du Xinli and Wang Zhongrong were tied up in their sleep and brought a car.
In order to hide their identity, the Koreans also specially put on the clothes of the security forces for them. Du Xinli and Wang Zhongrong looked at each other, wondering what South Korea's move was intended.
Later, the car drove to the port, and the Koreans pulled Du Xinli and Wang Zhongrong out of the car, and threw at the bilge of the 3213 torpedo boat, and sent guards to guard. In this way, China only needs to drive the torpedo boat back. The Korean god completed the handover process of the traitor without knowing it.
learned that he was about to be sent back to China, Du Xinli and Wang Zhongrong were shocked. They begged the Koreans to let him go and try to contact Taiwan. However, all efforts at this time were powerless to make things happen.
27 at 20:00 on the 27th, South Korea, together with Du Xinli, Wang Zhongrong, 11 survivors and six bodies, dragged the 3213 torpedo boat out of the port.
After 12 hours of sailing at sea, the 3213 torpedo boat arrived at the designated location and joined the Chinese ships. The two sides completed the handover ceremony.
In this way, China led the bodies of the sacrificed soldiers, survivors and two traitors to embark on the journey back to China.
Later, Du Xinli and Wang Zhongrong were sent to Military Court . During the judge's trial, the two revealed the long-planned defection crime. In the end, Du Xinli and Wang Zhongrong were both sentenced to death.
After all, negotiations between countries are more about strength.
This Sino-South Korea confrontation, the situation between the two sides was tense. At the critical moment, our navy was not afraid and formed a huge deterrent force on South Korea. Whenever a strong national defense is the real pillar of peace.
