Chapter 188: The Voyage (4)
The sonar soldier reported: "Commander, five underwater targets have been detected approaching, five kilometers away!"
Before boarding the ship, there was already an enemy situation, and Li Meng hurriedly ran to the sonar position.
"Five target submarines, main and secondary artillery shelling ready, direction 8 o'clock, distance of five kilometers, coordinates (332, 356), one test firing!"
With these raw melon eggs/sub must be reported in several ways to report the target location, otherwise it is easy to not understand, the drone has been hovering over the cruiser, this is a Shenhuo cruiser, six 280mm guns have been damaged, smoke is everywhere, the most serious place is the bridge, there are still a few swimming figures in the sea, it seems that the ship was abandoned, I don't know why the cruiser was not blown up, maybe the exit to the deck was blocked by fire, or the people on board suffered heavy losses, and the commander was almost dead.
He Sanshui led two groups of eight people to prepare rubber boats or plan to jump directly onto the Shenhuo cruiser, and the main and secondary guns fired at the approaching submarine one after another, and this bombardment immediately caused the five submarines to scatter and flee in several directions.
Li Meng: "Put the rubber boat, the destroyer can't stop." ”
He Sanshui and the others immediately put down the rubber boat after receiving the order, and at this moment, a lookout shouted loudly: "A fish/pedo has been found on the port side, fifty meters in front of the left." ”
"Right full rudder!"
He Sanshui and the others had no choice but to jump directly into the sea and swim to the rubber boat.
The fish/tordo rushed past the destroyer Arrow and rushed straight towards the cruiser Shenhuo, and a minute later directly hit the bow of the Shenhuo cruiser, the cruiser trembled three times and did not sink, and He Sanshui's two rubber boats had been controlled by the team members.
Li Meng had to make a difficult decision almost every minute, and any decision was related to the life and death of these more than 700 people.
Let them go, maybe there will be a windfall.
"Left full rudder, fifteen knots, one test shot of the main gun, the target is on the water in the direction of ten o'clock, at a distance of six kilometers,. ”
"Port 1, 3, 5 fish/pedo ready for launch......"
......
These annoying flies, Li Meng was anxious, as long as they were unable to capture the cruiser at all, the destroyer Arrow rushed towards the bright spots on the five sonars.
An hour later, the destroyer Arrow finally sank a submarine, damaged one, and the other submarines scattered, and at the same time they were also hit by a fish/toro, the port side was tilted about 3 degrees, and the damage pipe was draining.
The boarding fleet has climbed the Shenhuo cruiser, He Sanshui reported through the walkie-talkie: "The cruiser command room has burned to a mess, the temperature inside is very high, and it is impossible to enter, but there is no problem with the power, the engine can still start, the direction cannot be controlled, the speed cannot be controlled, and you can only wait for the fire to go out and cool down/Enter the command room to check, they are cleaning up the cruiser and are putting out the fire." ”
Can you control this cruiser is basically five or five open, the things in the command room should be burned out, I don't know if it can be opened, and now the command room can't get in, look at this posture He Sanshui wants to try it.
Li Meng: "Tow it away first, prepare the cable, and get close to the cruiser." ”
Li Meng found out that he was making fun of the people on the entire destroyer, maybe this decision would put the entire crew in a desperate situation.
Half an hour later, the two ships had been connected, fortunately the enemy had withdrawn, Li Meng commanded the destroyer to sail towards the depths of the sea at the maximum speed of eighteen knots, in the direction of southeast, gradually moving away from the land, away from Haicheng.
The matter is not over, Li Meng has to decide where to go? Li Meng feels that his mouth is not enough in the face of a bunch of charts and raw hands, and there are many things to tell them, although he is also a rookie.
Hong Changhe: "Commander, this dark sea area means that we won't run aground, right? ”
"Okay, you win, we can go, but tomorrow at dawn we may be besieged by two hundred planes, we must find a way to find a safe place, at the moment the southern dock is the best choice, we will get dock fire support there, in case we can't resist it, we can abandon the ship and go ashore. ”
Li Erdan suddenly burst out with a sentence: "We can hide ourselves, and when they leave, we will find a way to retreat to the south, or hide during the day and leave at night." ”
Hong Changhe: "How can you hide? Such a big ship, there is no shelter on the sea. ”
Li Meng frowned, no matter which decision is made, there is a risk, some well-meaning organizations have sent the latest information from the enemy, a fleet of the Black Moon Country located in the south has set sail and rushed here, there are at least three destroyers, and there is also an aircraft carrier fleet on the mainland of the Black Moon Country, which is expected to arrive in the nearby waters at noon tomorrow, and a decision must be made tonight, the fleet coming from the south may not be able to stop them, but the risk is very high.
The meeting lasted for an hour, He Sanshui and others were already cleaning up the command room of the Shenhuo cruiser, which was seriously damaged, and it is expected that it will take a long time to have results, the structure of the cruiser is very different from that of the destroyer and the gunboat, and He Sanshui and the others can only grope for the repair of this cruiser.
The time had already pointed to eleven o'clock in the evening, and the cooking class had brought steaming rice and fatty meat dishes.
Li Meng made the final decision: "I decided, the direction will turn to the southwest, we will dock and hide, the enemy will find out that we will fight with them, and when we run out of ammunition, we will go ashore to fight guerrillas!"
Can't hesitate, Li Meng finally made a seemingly safe plan, this way is really lucky, continuous defeat of the enemy's multi-way attack, Li Meng really does not have the courage to guarantee that he will not be discovered by the enemy tomorrow, the enemy is prepared for a night will inevitably carry out a thunderous strike.
After coming out of Haicheng, it has been going east and now turning to the southwest, after three hours of driving, the two steel ships finally arrived at the bottom of an unknown sea cliff, the cliff is ten meters high, from the sea chart it should be in a place called Dabaoling, half of the cliff and half of the beach, the two ships stopped at a cliff hidden part, if there is an enemy attack, they can at least rely on the cliff to only face the sky and the left side of the attack, but in this way it basically becomes a live target, it is better not to be discovered by the enemy, otherwise it is only a matter of time before it is destroyed.
"Everyone got off the boat and cut down trees to hide the boat, and the guard battalion surveyed the terrain and controlled everything around. ”
The time had already pointed to three o'clock in the evening, a destroyer of 30,000 tons, it was too difficult to completely conceal it, the fire on this cruiser was finally extinguished, otherwise Li Meng would not dare to let it hide under the cliff.
The whole team, except for some people from the guard battalion, began to patrol to check the surrounding situation, and all carried various tools ashore to cut down trees, fortunately, when choosing a place, Li Meng chose a place with many mountains and forests, there is no shortage of broad-leaved forests, this place already belongs to the edge of the subtropics, although it is winter, there is no shortage of green leafy plants.
The telegraph operator suddenly reported: "Commander, General Li/Tong has sent an urgent telegram, they will send an intelligence team to contact us, let us report our current location, let us go to channel 37 and reply to them with any encrypted password." ”
Rub, why did this question suddenly be thrown to Li Meng, if Li Meng replied to them, he would inevitably reveal his location and intentions, and it would be too difficult to send a telegram that could understand both but be confidential, and the key was that Li Meng was also a half-witter, not a cryptographic expert.
"You don't need to reply to them, contact Qiao He directly, and the message to Commander Qiao is: Forward to the attendant room, location: Ning County, code: fresh sea fish. Let Commander Qiao forward it to the attendant room, and we will pick them up in Ning County. ”
After all, Li Meng left a codebook for Qiao He, which would have some effect.
Li Meng contacted Qiao He once at twelve o'clock in the evening, there was nothing particularly important, Qiao He's large army had arrived in the suburbs of Lianyun County, Li Meng hoped that Qiao He's safety would come first, Qiao He reported that there was an intelligence team that was operating with them, Li Meng was worried that the location would be leaked, so he did not inform them where they planned to go, and now Mr. Li/ Tong said at this time that the intelligence officers were already on the way, and Li Meng couldn't completely ignore it after thinking about it, after all, the president was still the nominal leader, and Li Meng's final destination this time was the dock in the south, so he couldn't help but reply.
