Chapter 158: Zhong Bin is unmatched
Mycenae sat up from the pile of corpses, his luck was against the sky, the shell actually landed only two meters next to him just now, but the flying shrapnel did not hit him, but was blocked by the staff officers and officers around him, and his body covered in blood was almost unscathed.
However, his current condition was not much better, his eyes were blackened, and he felt that he could not hear anything in his ears except the buzzing sound, Mycenae only felt that his heart in his 'chest' cavity was pounding violently, as if he would jump out if he was not careful, the skin on his face felt tight, and the hair on the top of his head seemed to stand up, and it seemed that something was pulling his hair upwards.
At this moment several sailors ran over, removed the corpse that was believed to be dead next to him, checked to see if there were any survivors, and saw Mycenae, whose face was blackened by gunpowder and red with blood, sitting there motionless, and not knowing whether he was dead or alive, and came up to him and asked, "Commander! Are you still alive? β
The enemy and the earth are enemies, and the ghost ship learns to fight the moon and the lonely technique
Mycenaean looked blankly at the mast in front of him, still stunned, and the sailor saw that his 'chest' was undulating, and it was estimated that he was not dead. The two sailors lifted him up and took him to the infirmary in the cabin below, where the ship's doctor could still rely on him to see his wounds and treat them. Mycenae's head was completely empty at the moment, and the shock wave just now made him completely unconscious, as if he had lost his soul, and he just sat stupidly at the mercy of others.
With the bomb of the flagship, it also brought catastrophic 'sex' consequences to the Medeno fleet, and the fleet that followed behind did not realize at this moment that the fleet commander and most of the senior staff officers were either killed or wounded, but continued to follow the flagship's actions according to the orders on the flag. And the flagship is facing a very terrible situation at the moment - the rudder is completely out of order.
The reason why the three shells fired by the destroyer are called lucky hits is because all three shells caused significant results, and the shells that fell on the gun deck eliminated the combat effectiveness of many 'guns', making it impossible for them to 'fire' to suppress the destroyer, and also made it possible to wait for the flagship to open fire and guide' The cannonballs that fell on the stern not only eliminated a large number of senior Medenor staff officers, but also paralyzed the ability of the Medeno fleet to command naval battles, and at this moment the signal flag was still hanging on the mast, although the sailors of the ships following behind were staring at this obviously untimely order, but they could only honestly follow and turn blindly behind; as for the blind turn, it was the result of the third shell, although this near-miss bomb did not directly hit the hull of the flagship, but it fell near the stern and exploded at the position of the stern rudder, which directly damaged the stern rudder and allowed it to remain in a position that deviated to the rightγ At this moment, the deck of the flagship is 'chaotic', and there are no sailors to collect the sails, and there is no officer to command, so the flagship is at full sail at the moment, and several capital ships are going around in circles there.
"Goal! The left front of the flagship is sharp! Directions two, three, five! Three hundred and fifteen meters away! A high-explosive bomb! Load! "The observer is also waiting for the command of the captain and the 'shooting' coordinator at this moment, and directly searches for the target that he thinks is suitable, and the gunner naturally says that he will hit whoever he wants, and without saying a word, he aims his gun at the sharp ship.
At this moment, the several capital ships following behind the flagship also began to feel a little wrong, some people on the deck waved signal flags towards the flagship, and some opened their throats and shouted at the flagship, but the flagship did not react at all, just kept their heads and continued to move towards the right side, and drove away from the battlefield with this large number of capital ships.
With the sound of three explosions, an explosion occurred near the second-tier gun deck on the port side of the Fengrui-class battleship in front of the left side of the flagship, and the other two shells fell into the sea, raising a high column of water. Seeing that the situation was not good, the sharp ship quickly turned its bow, trying to avoid the destroyer's death gaze. But the helmsman was in a panic at this time, and when he hit the steering wheel, the hull turned to the right, and a gorgeous ship followed by starboard could only slam the steering wheel to the right in order to avoid it. In this fast-moving situation, a sharp ship closely following the rear of the gorgeous ship had no time to avoid it, so it could only crash headlong and hit a big hole in the stern of the gorgeous ship.
The location of the point of impact was near the stern captain's quarters, which were completely deflated at the moment, and several of the servants inside were killed on the spot, along with damage to the steering rudder. The striking Sharpie damaged the bow of the ship, and compared to the Gorgeous Ship, the Sharpness of the Ship was much more damaged, her bow was completely cracked, and the bow seemed to be 'inserted' straight into the stern of the Gorgeous Ship, and the entire foremast was broken, and the sail cables on the sail cable on the backmast of the Gorgeous Ship in front were all mixed together. The terrified sailors hurriedly climbed up the collapsed mast, knives in their hands desperately slashing every cable they could see, whether on a magnificent ship or a sharp ship.
They had no choice but to cut the cables, otherwise the two boats would become more and more tightly entangled in them, and eventually they could capsize the boats, causing even more terrible consequences.
Although the two boats and the members on them were miserable, their suffering was over. Because the destroyer had already rushed into a distance of 100 meters, the sailors who were waiting for the command to 'shoot' also 'fired' on their own, and once someone fired, the gun emplacements around them or the ships nearby would also open fire, so that hundreds of 'guns' could fire at the destroyer.
It was a terrible thing to be attacked by hundreds of 'gates' of artillery at the same time, and the side of the Medeno fleet was quickly obscured by the rising gunsmoke, and bowling balls of all sizes flew out of the smoke with a murderous spirit and flew in the direction of the destroyer with a howling sound that pierced the air.
Even the officers and men on the destroyer had a look of death as if they were at home, but seeing so many shells flying over, it was inevitable that their 'legs' and feet would become weak, and they looked for a place to hide, and many of them could only choose to lie down under the bulwark, praying that they would not be hit.
The rain of bullets flew over and smashed into the vicinity of the destroyer, but due to the hasty fire and the 'firing' distance was still a little close, most of the shells still fell into the sea. However, there were still shells in the 'shot', one shell hit the starboard side of the ship, penetrated the starboard bulwark, and the shell fell into the fresh water tank, smashing dozens of large wooden barrels inside, and the fresh water inside gushed out of the hole, which looked very scary. Another shell landed near the waterline on the starboard side, and also penetrated the ship's side, and the result of this shell was very good, although this position was not below the waterline, so that the ship would not start to flood in large quantities, but in the "waves" and "flowers" there was always a lot of seawater pouring in through the holes.
"Damage Management Team! Go 'pump' the water! Get ready to plug the leak! Zhong Bin issued the order, but he remembered in his heart the helplessness of facing this kind of thing when he was a pirate - he didn't even know how to save the ship when the bottom of the ship leaked. At this moment, the damage management team of the ship's bilge quickly rushed to the location of the leak, the carpenters rushed forward with the materials for repairing the ship, and began to fix the ship's materials, while the sailors shook the 'pumping' machine to 'pump' the water that had now overflowed to their knees. Looking at the drainage hole spitting out seawater, Zhong Bin's heart finally played back slightly.
The sailors on the deck of the destroyer crawled out of their hiding places, and it would be at least a minute and a half to wait for the next 'shot' of the Medenor people anyway, which was a good time for them to exert their might.
"Comrades! We're going to have to shoot more shells before they can fire, and we're going to kill one by one! Zhong Bin roared loudly, and at the same time rushed to the machine gun position, because the target on the enemy ship was not obvious before, the machine gun had not fired, and now that it has entered a hundred meters, it is natural that you can't be polite." Machine gun ready! Free 'Shoot' Shot! β
The machine gunners had been holding back their fires for a long time, and at this moment, as if a tiger had smelled the fishy smell of flesh and blood, the muzzle of the gun suddenly erupted into a long tongue of fire. They didn't care how many enemies there were, they just strafed and 'shot' at the places they didn't like, and the destroyer's starboard side 'fired' three flaming whips at the same time, sweeping around the flotilla in the distance.
In the face of such a dense rain of bullets, the hulls of these ships could not resist at all, and the sailors hiding by the gun windows were considered to be unlucky, and the machine gunners picked up the 'doors' and strafed back and forth near the gun windows, and most of the unlucky sailors fell on the gun deck screaming, and the blood stained the fire 'powder' barrels open next to them, completely soaking them and making them unusable.
As for the bullets that did not hit the personnel, they were not necessarily left or right, and many warheads hit the shells that were piled up next to the artillery or even directly hit the gun, and flew everywhere next to the artillery, such a trajectory could not be prevented at all, and many sailors hiding behind the artillery or in other compartments would also be hit by these bullets that did not know where they flew from, and could only roll on the ground with their wounds in their hands. The fire forks in the hands of the injured igniters were thrown around, and some of them poked directly into the uncovered fire 'powder' barrels next to them, which directly ignited the fire 'powder'. The fire 'powder' cannot be extinguished at all when it burns, and the fire is so fierce that no one dares to put out the fire against such a fire, and can only wait for the fire 'powder' to burn before watering. The wounded sailors were now suffering from blood mold, screaming in the fire one by one, dragging their injured bodies over the cannon windows and jumping directly into the sea, and those who could not move could only be roasted into charcoal in the screams. The sailors on the deck can only hold the canvas hose to water the deck to cool down, try to ensure that the deck does not catch fire, once the fire spreads to the deck, then the sail cable will be ignited in an instant, and then it will really be powerless.
At this time, Mycenae had already woken up, he pushed away the ship's doctor beside him, dragged his weak 'legs' and climbed up to the deck, only then did he see a scene like hell, the flagship was full of corpses and blood, even the sails were dripping down from time to time, and there was a big 'hole' in the gun deck, which was still smoking outward. He hurriedly looked up at his signal flag, which still had the slogan "Follow the flagship" hanging on it. Mycenae yelled angrily and asked his men to change the flag and fight freely.
He looked at the back of the ship, a Huali-class and a Fengrui-class capital ship collided together at this moment, and the masts of the two ships were already entangled at this moment, pulling the hull of the ship and starting to deflect it, if it continued to pull down, it was not impossible to capsize the ship. As the sailors cut all the entangled sail cables, the two battleships hula came up, and the sailors who were lying on the masts cutting the cables were thrown out like stones on trebuchets, and let out a cry of terror in the air.
Several capital ships not far away had begun to catch fire, some of them were still exploding from time to time, and from time to time there were screaming sailors crawling out of the blazing gun windows and falling into the sea with their blackened torsos. Mycenae's heart was cold at the moment, his hands and feet trembled, for the Medeno people, the sea ship is life, more important than money, and his Eastern Fleet was originally greatly damaged by the loss of six sharp ships in the last invasion of the Eastern Port. This time, the commander-in-chief of the Navy, Medeno, personally arranged for him to launch a large-scale sneak attack on the Chinese, and in order to ensure the scale of the campaign, he also mobilized a number of warships from many other fleets to rush to support.
Even if not a single enemy ship has been sunk until now, the destroyer still has the upper hand at this moment, and after the destroyer's full firepower was displayed just now, the Medeno fleet in the distance has taken refuge in the direction of moving away from the battlefield, lest it become the destroyer's next target.
"Let's turn around!" Yang Junbo was so angry that he crooked his nose, there was such a thing? A destroyer with less than half the tonnage of the Victory turned out to be unparalleled, and the sneak attack fleet suffered heavy casualties. He looked at the stunned Stone, and really wanted to scold his mother, didn't he just encounter an ambush? As for being frightened and rushing into the reef area regardless of the danger?
He completely forgot how panicked he looked just now, "We have such a good weapon, and we still have to escape?" U-turn now! Let's go back to the battlefield! I'm going to sink them all! Yang Junbo danced and roared, as long as he changed his clothes, he was dressed as "I, Hu Hansan, am back again".
"Can't turn around!" Ston was stunned for a while before he said, "The waterway here is very narrow, and you can't turn around now, and if you turn around, the possibility of hitting the reef is very high, so you can only leave the reef area and wear it back." β
"How long does it take to get out of the reef?" Yang Junbo was about to die, and the destroyer in the distance was like a shepherd dog in front of a flock of sheep, driving a large group of Medeno battleships to flee into the distance, while his real capital ship with high hopes was fleeing with his tail between his legs? Is this going to spread out the great glory of the patriarch?
"One more day, Chief! From here, head south to America's Reef, then turn east to Cat's Ear Reef and leave the reef area. Ston replied helplessly, shrugging his shoulders at the same time.
