Chapter 255: Encounter with a Naval Battle (2)
Before he could react, two shells fell, one of which landed tens of meters from the bow of the ship, and did not pose much threat after the explosion; But the other fell not far from the right side of the ship, although it did not directly hit the hull, but the shock wave and waves caused by the explosion not only overturned a speedboat traveling with the ship into the sea, but even the cargo ship that Bai Fei was riding was also affected, the whole hull was like encountering a huge wave, tilted to the left, and it took half a day to correct the hull, and many soldiers and 107 rocket artillery on the ship were also staggered and embarrassed for a while.
"Quick! Save! Bai Fei didn't care about anything else, grabbed the side of the ship, and shouted towards the sea.
Two speedboats immediately followed by the rescuers who had fallen into the water, and soon, five people were rescued. However, two of the special combat team members who fell into the water could not be found, and perhaps they were stunned before they fell into the water, and once they lost consciousness, they would sink to the bottom after falling into the water, and they would always be unable to save them.
Bai Fei turned around, saw that the shadow of the Japanese destroyer could be faintly seen in the morning fog, and knew that the situation was already very critical, so he immediately reluctantly ordered: "Leave it alone, immediately move forward at full speed, go zigzag, and avoid the Japanese shelling!" ”
On the back deck, Wu Dazhong finally re-fixed 8 107 rocket launchers on the deck, and when he saw that the devil's ship was approaching, he immediately ordered his subordinates to load ammunition, and then ordered to fire.
However, because the artillery was on the ship, the sea was undulating, and the ship was also up and down, and the gunners under Wu Dazhong had no experience in shooting at sea at all.
Therefore, after a few rounds of firing, not even a single enemy hair was hit, but was chased closer and closer by the Japanese light destroyers, and the shells on the Japanese ships also kept falling around the freighter.
However, although the zigzag can temporarily avoid the Japanese shells, it also increases the corresponding range, so sooner or later it will be caught up by the Japanese destroyers, not to mention that the freighter is not as fast as the Japanese ships.
Bai Fei kept walking back and forth, urging the ship's boss to speed up, but the speed of the freighter had already been increased to the limit, and there was no way to accelerate at all.
This is, I heard the guide surnamed Xu shouting outside: "See, see the land..."
Bai Fei ran out of the cockpit like a gust of wind, looked south, and sure enough, a cloud of black could be faintly seen in the morning mist, and the guide explained: "Look at the distance, as long as we hold on for a while and a half, we should be able to reach the shore of Lingao." ”
Bai Fei took a deep breath and shouted at Wu Dazhong at the stern: "Wu Dazhong, I don't care what method you use, you must keep the devil's ship out of a safe distance before we dock!" ”
“… Be! ”
Wu Dazhong has no bottom in his heart, and the previous misses have made him lose some confidence, but as the only long-range weapon that can counterattack the entire ship, his 107th rocket artillery battalion must do something, otherwise the lives of the entire ship will be lost.
Wu Dazhong stubbornly agreed, but what to do, there was no decision in his heart.
At this time, Xu Jie, the commander of the first company of the artillery battalion, came up and said: "The battalion, in my opinion, it is better to let the brothers play freely, maybe it can play some role." Don't be on a uniform scale anymore. ”
When Wu Dazhong heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately followed Xu Jie's suggestion to let the 8 107 rocket launchers shoot freely. In this way, there was indeed some achievement, only to see that after a salvo, although most of the shells still flew away, there were still seven or eight shells that fell around the left of the Japanese destroyer in hot pursuit, and one of them even fell on the deck of the Japanese destroyer, although it did not penetrate the deck, but also killed several Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese destroyer received a blow, immediately reduced its speed and began to drift to the left.
Wu Dazhong observed all this through the binoculars and was extremely happy, so he ordered his subordinates to continue to shoot uninterruptedly.
After several rounds of attacks, the Japanese destroyers, feeling threatened, finally opened up the distance between themselves and the freighter, and retreated beyond the range of the 107 rocket launchers. However, the range of its shipborne guns was longer than that of the 107 rocket artillery, so the situation changed, and the Japanese ship's naval guns could attack Bai Fei's freighter, but the 107 rocket artillery on the freighter could not make an effective counterattack.
However, due to the distance between the two ships at this time, and the sky was still not bright, and there was mist, the line of sight was blocked, and although the Japanese naval guns had a long range, they lacked the guidance of fighters in the air, so although they fought far, their accuracy was very poor. In addition, Bai Fei has always kept the freighter in a zigzag shape, which has also greatly strengthened the safety of the freighter.
So in this way, in the mutual shelling, pursuit and dodge, the two sides drove towards Lingao County.
After a while, the shore of Lingao was already close in front of him, and the guide said: "The nearest port in front is the Diaolou Port near Diaolou Town, and further on, it is the Dunji Port that leans on the village and town of Lingaoguang, sir, which port are we going to land in?" ”
It turned out that the place that the guide was talking about was a depression near the coast, shaped like a flare, and his so-called port of the tower was located at the trumpet, so the distance was closer. The port of Dunji is at the bottom of the horn, and if you want to land there, you need to drive six or seven kilometers further in.
At this time, the sky is bright, the mist has cleared, and the sight is good. Bai Fei turned his head to observe the Japanese ship and found that it was still seven or eight kilometers away, so he asked the signal soldier beside him: "Deputy Regiment Commander Wang, what is the situation with them now?" ”
The signal soldier said: "The deputy regiment and others have landed at Diaolou Port 10 minutes ago, and at this time they have already joined up with Battalion Commander Li Shuyang and others, and are arranging defenses in the vicinity of Xinying Town. ”
"Good!" Bai Fei nodded and said, "Let them be ready to respond." Let's just say that we will continue to move south and make landfall in the area around Dunji Port. ”
"Yes!"
It turned out that Bai Fei saw that the Japanese destroyers were still chasing after their buttocks, and if they docked nearby, once the ship stopped, they would inevitably become a live target for the Japanese ships, so after thinking about it again and again, he decided to continue to drive forward.
Another point, along the way, Bai Fei was fed up with the bird's breath of the Japanese gunboats, and was chased and beaten in the back, this is not his style, now there are friendly troops on the side, and if he doesn't fight back, when will he wait?
So, Bai Fei gave an order, and the freighter continued to face south along the coast with a few speedboats, increasing its horsepower and sailing towards the waters of Houshui Bay in Lingao County. However, no one expected that a few minutes later, Bai Fei and his party were almost blown to pieces by the boat and people, if it weren't for Li Hu and other special combat team members who rushed to rescue on the speedboat, Bai Zhenyu, who was regarded by the Japanese army as a thorn in the flesh, would have been lifted to heaven by burp!
