"Lie down!" "Get down!" The sailors on deck let out exclamations. In a very short period of time, the shells swept the distance between the two sides and landed on the sea near the Victory, and the water column immediately set off a "wave" and "flower" and swept across the deck of the Victory, drenching the officers and men lying on the deck with seawater.

With a loud "thump", a shell hit an area on the port side that had been reinforced with steel plates, and then fell into the sea.

"Get up! Get up! Get ready to fight back! Yang Junbo roared loudly, picking up the sailors who were still lying on their stomachs and were not stunned, and yelled at the sailors, "Report the loss!" ”

The enemy's love for the Koko is cold, and the enemy's hatred of the war is cold

The sailors had only just come to their senses, and the first few Medeno sailors to get up first ran to all parts of the ship's deck, looked around, and shouted to the sailors, "The foredeck is normal!" "The foremast is normal!" "The midmast is normal!" "Shot on the port side, no losses!" ……

"The deck is normal!" The boatswain hurriedly reported loudly to Yang Junbo, and then rushed into the cabin.

After the land is far away from the enemy, the ball is lonely, and the moon is lonely

"I didn't see the signal of the destroyer!" As soon as the herald finished speaking, he heard the sailor's voice shout, "The anchor has been collected, where shall we go?" ”

The sound of the cannon was a battle order, and many sailors in the lower cabin were still sleeping, awakened by the sound of the cannon just now, and many of them were even awakened by the shell that hit the armor plate. The sailor leaders in each area beckoned to the crews they could find, yelling for them to enter the battle position.

Several sailors in charge of the spring cannon ran up from the hatch, but unexpectedly, the sailors who were rushing down from above to carry out the damage pipe inspection collided head-on and rolled together, "Get out of the way!" Get out of the way! "Did you get shot down there?" "Is there any water?"

Far away from being reluctant to learn the yang ball lonely

The knot is not a department, and the ship hates Mo and hates the ghost gang

"No water!" The lower cabin shouted, "The lower cabin is normal!" ”

"Bomb the 'drug'! Bounce the 'medicine' on deck! "The machine gun needs to be loaded with 'medicine'! Bullet! - Bullets! "There was the roar of the machine gunners in the stern, the canvas covered by the 1628 machine gun next to them had not yet been uncovered, the fog was too heavy now, if it was uncovered and did not start to 'shoot' quickly, the machine gun would probably be wet by the sea fog, so that there would be danger of exploding when 'firing'. They could only stare there and look at the hatch where the ammunition was transported, and it was pitch black, and they didn't know if anyone had brought it.

"Cannonballs! Send the spring cannon shells! "Hurry up!" Spring guns are not like machine guns, spring guns use spring bullets to "shoot" out and ignite in the air, so the gun jacket has faded at this moment, but they face the same embarrassment as machine guns, there are no shells. "Locate the target first! Where is the goal? ”

"Marines! Get on deck! "Xiao Can, who was the gun chief, did not have time to supervise the sailors in transporting ammunition and ammunition, and he was most anxious now to let a company of the Marine Corps go to the deck first. Most of the marines wearing blue 'color' uniforms did not have time to get dressed at the moment, and many of them were still wearing military uniforms, most of the armed belts around their waists were still hanging crookedly on their bodies, and most of the rattan helmets on their heads were not worn.

At this time, Yang Junbo discovered a very troublesome problem, there were not many passages from the lower cabin of the Victory to the deck, only three, and there was one behind the foremast, which was mainly the place where the sailors of the sail "door" of the sail cable department entered and exited. The second and third are located on either side of the central axis of the hull in the direction of the stern of the midmast, respectively, and are led up directly from below by steps.

During the usual training, they only roughly asked the sailors to enter and exit according to the rules, left in and right out, and only sail sailors in front of them. But now in a combat situation, all the crew on the ship are panicked, the Maidno sailors are better, at least they know where to get on and off, but those Annan or military sailors are dizzy, and some of them are so nervous that they forget where their combat posts are, Yang Junbo has already seen several ship carpenters who were originally in charge of damage management in the bilge are now 'messing' around on the deck like headless flies.

The sailors on the upper deck and the lower cabins were blocked in the three passages, and the marines were only thirty or forty people who came up.

"Boom, boom, boom......" The sound of artillery 'firing' was heard again in the distance, followed by another flurry. "The cannonballs pierced the air with a whistling sound and landed near the Victory, this time it was much more accurate than the first salvo, and it seemed that several ships were 'firing' in a salvo, and the landing point was much more concentrated than the previous one, several shells pierced the sails on the mast, and one cannonball hit the midmast directly, but it did not penetrate and was bounced off by the mast.

However, Yang Junbo preferred that the shell was not bounced off - the shell swept sideways across the deck of the ship, and more than a dozen sailors were immediately hit. Although the speed of this cannonball is not high, the kinetic energy is unbelievably large, and it is really injured and killed when it is rubbed. The wounded sailor fell to the ground, blood immediately flowing on the deck, and screams for help followed. Only then did he realize that the middle mast had cracked, and many fragments were splashed, sweeping like shotguns in the opposite direction of the shell. Many of the sailors on the other side were hit by these debris, and at least they broke their skin and bled from their eyes.

"Shot on the port side! Shot on the port side! Someone shouted loudly in the direction of port side, and at the same time, Xiao Can's shout was heard, "Everyone stand back!" Let the Marines come up! ”

"Bring the bullet 'medicine'! Don't panic! The boatswain shouted too, but their voices were soon drowned out by the screams of the wounded.

"Two shots on the port side!" The captain of the damage management team ran to Yang Junbo's side and shouted, "One hit the unarmored place on the port side, entered the water storage tank, and the fresh water bucket was broken!" Draining! ”

"And another one?" Yang Junbo was anxious, and hurriedly asked, the captain of the damage management team shook his head, "That one didn't break through ......"

"Come down and help! Hit inside! A lot of people died! "There was a loud shout in the bilge, it turned out that a shell had 'shot' through the previous gun window near the armor plate, and then 'shot' into the personnel quarters, and several unlucky sailors were killed in the cabin, and the wooden 'bed' in the cabin was also damaged by flying debris and collapsed in the cabin.

"The bomb 'medicine' is coming, get out of the way!" The soldiers in charge of transporting the ammunition and ammunition ran up the stairs with the ammunition boxes, and the sailors in front of them moved to the sides, and the marines followed them, and they also quickly boarded the deck, lined up on the port side of the ship, and opened the bolts one after another, loaded the bullets into the chamber and waited for the 'fire' parameters and orders.

There was another roar of artillery 'firing', and another rain of bullets hit, this time even more accurate than the last time. Six shells were fired on the port side of the ship's hull, one of which hit the armor plate, and this time many of the bolts used to fix the armor plate broke due to the violent impact, causing a piece of iron armor plate three meters long and two meters wide and one centimeter thick to fall off directly and be planted directly into the sea, splashing a large area of water 'flowers'.

"Goal!" The Marine company commander was also wounded at this moment, and a piece of shrapnel grazed his right forehead, scratching the skin, and blood ran down the corner of his eye. He didn't bother to wipe it at all, just raised one hand flat, gave it a thumbs up, and estimated the distance towards the flickering firelight in the distance. "Nine o'clock on the port side, two hundred meters away! Volley 'shoot'! ”

The marines could not see the position of the enemy ship at all, and at this time they could only follow the parameters reported by the company commander to 'fire' in a volley. With the crackling and continuous sound of rifles, the smoke immediately covered the port side, but no one knew if it had hit the target.

Yang Junbo only remembered a very embarrassing and fatal thing at this moment - the anchor was still on the sea bed, which meant that it had already suffered three rounds of shells, and the Victory was still in place stupidly waiting for the next round of shells to fall on his head. He hurriedly shouted at the sailor, "Anchor and anchor!" Let's get out of here! ”

After shouting this, he seemed to be a lot calmer, and hurriedly ordered the heralds beside him, "Quick! Signal the lights and notify several other ships to disperse and break through. ”

The ship is far cool, and after learning to be cold, I sail alone

Someone in the stern immediately lit the gas lamp that was used to send the light signal, and began to open and close the signal into the distance.

At this moment, the machine gunners on the stern finally got the machine gun bullets, and they hurriedly pried open the ammunition 'medicine' box with a crowbar, grabbed the bullets from the box and stuffed them into the ammunition supply plate. The 'shooter' quickly ripped off the canvas covering the machine gun, opened the receiver cover, stuffed a loaded ammunition supply plate directly into it, and then pulled the bolt hard, and then pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang-" The Victory finally let out a roar of counterattack, the muzzle of the machine gun flashed with a dazzling light, and a chain with a fiery red glow struck the flaming place in the distance. The machine guns on the foredeck on the port side were also ready to fire and soon fired. However, the problem is that no one can see the target in the morning fog, so they can only shoot 'indiscriminately' at the place where they think there is an enemy, whether it is a machine gunner or a marine, at this moment they are all strafing and 'shooting' into the distance like a blind cat catching a dead mouse.

With a crisp sound, the cartridge operator finally used a crowbar to open the box containing the spring cannonballs, and the cartridges and ammunition inside were neatly arranged in the box, and the top of the cannonballs was wrapped in a layer of oiled paper. A dredging hand picks up a cannonball, rips off the oiled paper, takes a message from a small box next to it, screws it into the thread at the top of the cannonball, and hands it to the loader. The loader stuffs the cartridge into the barrel and then loads the barrel.

Normally, it takes two soldiers 30 seconds to load a barrel, but in an emergency like this, it took only 15 seconds for the two loaders to press the spring of the shell to the bottom, and then they stuffed the cartridge 'charge' all the way to the bottom of the barrel, carefully removed the safety device from the fuse, and was ready to 'fire'.

"Two hundred meters away, azimuth ......" the observer could say before a few more shells flew over, swept across the foredeck of the Victory, overturned several marines, and then fell into the sea on the starboard side.

No, no, no, no, no,

"Captain!" Chun'xiao and frigate No. 2 both sent light signals, indicating that they understood and were preparing to break through! The herald reported to Yang Junbo while looking at the light signals flickering in the morning mist not far away on the sea.

"Where's the destroyer?" Yang Junbo couldn't help but be stunned, he had now climbed up to the stern and officially commanded the whole ship there.

"No signal to see the destroyer!" As soon as the herald finished speaking, he heard the sailor's voice shout, "The anchor has been collected, where shall we go?" ”

"Let's head for the reef!" Ston shouted at Yang Junbo, "Let's go to the reef area!" ”

The knot is far away, and the study of Moyang is too knotted

"What?" Yang Junbo was stunned, "Isn't that looking for death?" ”

"No, it won't! I know how to get around! Ston didn't care about his rank, and yelled at Yang Junbo, "Only by entering the reef area can we make the enemy's round 'shooting' unable to perform, they don't have a bow gun, and they can't pursue us." He didn't even wait for Yang Junbo to nod his head, he yelled at the helmsman, "Turn to 186!" Raise the sails! Half sail! ”

The sailors heard Ston's words at this moment, and they did not have time to question whether he was qualified to command the whole ship, and they all began to 'operate' according to his request.

The Victory began to raise its sails, gradually picking up speed, and the bow turned to the course of 186, and slowly sailed towards the reef area.

Later, the enemy was the only enemy, Cha Youyangnuo, and the cold enemy

The enemy ships in the distance were still 'firing', but they didn't know that the Victory had already started moving, so most of the shells still landed in the same position as before, just splashing a large column of water.

"What about the destroyer? How is it that the response of the destroyer has not yet been seen? Yang Junbo didn't care about Ston stealing his job, but just asked the herald, and the herald's neck shrank, "I don't know either!" Chief, there is no reply from them! ”

Ten minutes ago, in fact, Zhong Bin's destroyer was the first ship to discover the Medeno battleship, but it was still too late, when they found the Medeno battleship, the other party had already appeared on the port side of the destroyer no more than thirty meters.

With the continuous sound of snapping, more than a dozen grappling hooks were thrown from the port side, and most of them accurately grabbed the side of the ship, and the sailors of the enemy ship pulled the ropes of the grappling hooks one after another, quickly shortening the distance between the two ships.

Sun Yuanqiu's science is independent, and he learns to connect with loneliness and hatred

After Sun Yuanqiu Ke Dujie learned to pick up the lonely enemy and shouted this sentence, he seemed to be a lot calmer, and hurriedly ordered the herald soldiers around him, "Quick!" Signal the lights and notify several other ships to disperse and break through. ”

"Bang-" With the loud crash of the two ships, the two ships finally came together, and the Mederor sailors, wielding weapons in their hands, jumped directly from the ship to the destroyer.

The lookouts had already picked up their rifles and 'shot' at the opposite side as soon as they spotted the enemy ship, but it was not easy to 'shoot' at the enemy on the shaky mast on the sea, and their salvo 'shot' was nothing except for a Meedno sailor who was about to 'swing' the rope on the opponent's mast and fell into the sea screaming.

However, they responded with a salvo of muskets from the Marines on the deck, and with the crackling of gunshots, several lookouts were shot and fell directly from the lookout on the top of the mast, and some fell directly on the deck, and died immediately without even moving.
