Do Japanese merchants call for support ?

I had this situation during last patrol: I spoted lonely merchant and I started intercepting him. Because my torpedos didn't sink him only did some damage I decided to finish him using deck gun. It took me some time before he sunk. After this kill I returned on my course and after 1 hour of sailing I got 3 contacts on my radar from direction where I sunk merchant. I came back to place where he went down and waited. I was very suprised when these 3 contacs turned out as 3 japanese destroyers. They started patroling place where this merchant sunk. I had to move back this time (well 3 angry destoyers could sink me easy with my skills

).

I suppose they call for support if support units are near but I am not sure or maybe this was coincidence ?

Thanks
