Although the two sides gradually distanced themselves, the destroyer did not grasp the advantage at all, the destroyer had already suffered too many casualties of sailors, and at this moment the deck was already full of corpses, and it was difficult to even want to raise the sails.

However, there was no living activity on the Medeno battleship that had been with them before, and under the suppression of machine gun fire, the marines on their ship did not dare to climb onto the deck to be shot, let alone stand on the side of the ship and wait to jump into the gang. Therefore, even if the destroyer was only moving slowly in the half-sail state, the other side did not make the next move to intercept it.

Zhong Bin hurriedly stood up and looked around the deck, not far away the boatswain was lying diagonally on the corpses of the two Medeno sailors, his 'chest' was 'sticking' a sharp knife, although he was still 'twitching' twice from time to time, but just looking at it knew that he was definitely hopeless; the first mate was busy beside the helm cabin at the moment, directing several sailors to remove the corpses inside, and the helmsman was still sitting in a corner of the wheelhouse at the moment, covered in blood, and had long since stopped moving. The rudder wheel was also badly damaged by several bullets at the moment, and only an irregular semicircle remained. I don't know how many 'holes' were punched in the deck and glass of the wheelhouse, and the broken glass fell to the ground, soaked in blood, and looked particularly miserable at a glance; the mainmast was hit by a cannonball, and although it was still standing on the deck at this time, it was conceivable that as long as the sails were full, there would definitely be a possibility that the mast would break.

Originally, the three-masted destroyer was equipped with ten 'guns' on each side, but in the Navy's renovation plan, these old smoothbore guns were directly returned to the furnace and replaced with two 'guns' on each side. There is a 'door' machine gun in the bow and two 'doors' in the stern, and there is also a 'door' machine gun on each side of the stern to suppress the deck height from a high position.

However, in the battle just now, the advantage of spring gun fire and 'firing' range did not play its expected role at all, and if it had not been for the timely fire of the machine gun on the stern, it is estimated that it would have lost the gang jumping battle just now, and even the whole ship might have been captured. Zhong Bin couldn't help but secretly rejoice that the Maidno people had underestimated the role of machine guns and spring guns at the moment, if the enemy had concentrated on the machine guns and spring guns at the beginning, and quickly controlled and occupied these gun positions after jumping the gang, now even if he did not serve the Senate on the spot, he would have been captured.

"Captain! Are we hoisting the sails now? The second officer next to him ran over, he was carrying a 1628 rifle that he had picked up from nowhere, the bayonet on it had been broken, the gun was covered in blood, and there were several marks on the handguard that had been cut by the knife.

Zhong Bin looked at the direction of the wind, then leaned over to the helm cabin and looked at the compass, nodded and ordered, "Raise the sail first, the main mast will not be raised, the sail will be full, turn to the course ninety-two, and leave the battlefield at full speed." ”

Sun is not an enemy, and the party is not evil, and the secret lady of the sail is picked

The second officer nodded hurriedly and shouted the order to the sailors who were cleaning on the deck. The air was still filled with the smell of gunsmoke, and blood was seeping down the gaps between the decks, and the corpses were overlapping in many places, many of them still in a scuffling posture.

The sailors hurriedly cleared the area where the sails were hoisted, and the bodies of the Medeno sailors were thrown directly into the sea, while the bodies of the naval soldiers were transported to the hold to avoid the poison of a possible battle. The wounded were lifted up and transported to the medical cabin, where the ship's doctors were hurriedly checking on the condition of the wounded, giving priority to the minor wounded as quickly as possible. The whole medical cabin was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the moans of the wounded came and went, and because there was no anesthetic, many surgeries could only make the wounded endure the pain and go directly to the knife.

Zhong Bin is now very worried about the situation of the Victory and the other two frigates, his destroyer has been beaten so badly at the moment, the Victory will definitely receive more attention, as for the two frigates, I am afraid that they will not even be able to survive a round.

"Captain! It's our light signal! A sailor next to him shouted, Zhong Bin hurriedly looked over, and sure enough, there was a faint bright spot flickering in the thick fog. You must know that signal lights capable of penetrating such a dense fog are equipped only by the ships of the Senate Navy.

"Damn! I don't understand! The first mate couldn't help but slap the helm deck, and the broken glass was 'inserted' into the palm of his hand, and blood flowed down the sleeve. Due to the thick fog, the effect of observing the light is not very ideal, although I know that my own person is sending the signal, but I can't understand what they are talking about.

"I see a breakout!" A sailor shouted loudly, and the sailors on the deck immediately 'messed' into a mess, "Break through? What happened on board the Victory? "Are they also so badly lost?" "We should go to the rescue of the Victory!"

The enemy is not far from the cool ship ball by the lonely test ball Ji

"Respond to the signal!" As soon as Zhong Bin's words fell, he heard the second mate say loudly on the side, "I can't respond!" Our signalmen were killed, and the signal lights were destroyed in the battle. ”

"Huh?" Zhong Bin couldn't help but be stunned, it seems that the whole destroyer is both deaf and dumb now, so what should I do?

Sun is not far away, and the ghost ship ball is cold and cold

"Captain, shall we break through?" The first mate said on the side, "We also saw the light signal, since we are told to break through, let's act according to the order!" ”

"Can't break through!" The second lieutenant's words were shocking, so that several officers couldn't help but turn their heads to look at him, "Why?" Zhong Bin asked.

"We only saw the breakout signal, but we didn't know who they were calling!" The second officer continued, "Of course, it is possible for them to scatter and break through, and this situation may be very 'sexual' at the moment. Zhong Bin said noncommittally, "But there is another possibility, which is to sacrifice frigates and destroyers, so that we can drag the enemy's main fleet and protect the Victory to break through!" We've done a lot of this kind of thing before. ”

Zhong Bin took a deep breath, this is indeed true, when he was a pirate leader, he didn't let his subordinates do this thing, and when the wind was smooth in the naval battle, he could do it; But covering the breakout of other ships and staying behind to hold off the enemy is not something that everyone can do. Many thoughts suddenly flashed in his heart, in fact, if you want to understand it in the previous way, it is nothing to turn around and break through, and he does have this idea. But now that the second mate is so broken, no one is embarrassed to ignore this possible situation and just slap his ass and leave. Although it can be prevaricated in the future that he can't see the signal clearly, his name in the Senate Navy for running away from the wind is confirmed.

The sunlight slanted through the gap in the thick fog, gradually beginning to penetrate the thick morning fog, and the two burning Medeno warships nearby were like two torches at this moment, and many figures could be faintly seen busy around the fire. Every now and then there would be an explosion between the two ships, and the screams and curses of the sailors would be drowned out by the sound of the explosion.

Zhong Bin looked left and right, the sailors around him were covered with blood, and there were still a lot of corpses piled up on the deck in the distance, and the sailors pulling the sail ropes shouted the trumpet, several sails were slowly rising, and the boat under his feet was gradually speeding up.

After the branch is not cool enemy to learn by Yang Ship Keko

"Comrades!" Zhong Bin is not used to this kind of title, but since the elders all call themselves like this, there should be no problem in calling his brothers like this.

The sailors who had nothing to do on their hands all looked at Zhong Bin who was standing on the stern, and those who had something to do at hand saluted Zhong Bin while they were busy with the things in hand.

"We have just gone through a difficult battle, we have suffered considerable losses, many comrades have been wounded and even died in the battle, on behalf of the Senate, I thank you all for your loyalty and bravery, we have won this stage of victory!" He said and pointed to the Medeno battleship that was still burning and crackling on both sides, "Everyone, how are you! ”

The sailors cheered one after another, the battle just now can be described as thrilling, and it is really bad luck to be able to win many times, and they can't help but feel a kind of secret happiness for the rest of their lives.

"But the battle is not over at this moment, and under the thick morning mist, the enemy does not know that we are out of danger, and they must be focusing all their attention on the Victory!" Zhong Bin said and pointed to the light signals that were still flickering in the distance from time to time, "We all remember the Victory, right?" She was captured by us in our first victory in the Navy, and was named the Victory in honor of our comrades who died in that battle! Comrades! The Victory has excellent combat capabilities after being refitted, but it is still in danger of being captured or sunk under a sneak attack like the one just now! Can we watch the Victory be taken away by the enemy, leaving the blood of our fallen comrades in vain? Let the glory of the Senate be dimmed by this? ”

"Can't!" "Absolutely not!" One soldier shouted, "Kill those Medenors!" A very loud voice rang out, and the crowd burst into laughter, and the man who shouted scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and this man was a blonde maid with a beard.

"That's right! It doesn't matter where we're from! Zhong Bin slapped the guardrail and continued to say loudly, "Maybe we are from Wuguo, from Annan, from Medeno, from Yaning......"

"I'm from Japan!" A small sailor hurriedly raised his right hand high while jumping, waving it towards Zhong Bin.

"That's right! And from Japan! Zhong Bin smiled and nodded, "We are all sailors of the Senate Navy now!" It's all the force of the Senate! We have the responsibility and obligation to fight to the end for the Senate! Protect the honor of the Senate! What do you say! ”

"Long live the Senate!" "There are no escaping cowards in the navy!" "Kill all the enemies of the Senate!" The sailors shouted one after another, and although the slogans were different, the meaning was the same.

Zhong Bin waved his hand vigorously and shouted loudly, "I'm going to turn the bow of the ship now and rush at the interception formation of the 'chaotic' Medeno people!" Hold off the Medeno fleet! Don't give them the ability to pursue the Victory! He paused here and said, "Because of the fog, I can't tell what the order given by the Victory is, of course, it may be for us to turn around and break through, but I think that as a responsible and courageous naval officer and sailor, you must have the courage to dare to rush forward knowing that the enemy is several times over!" If any of the comrades present want to leave, I will not blame you, let alone retaliate afterwards, you can escape in a lifeboat, a few kilometers west of the coast ......"

"your lifeboat!" A soldier below burst into foul language, "Captain! Give the order! "Captain! Where are you going! We'll go with you wherever we go! "Let the Medenor people see the Senate Navy!"

Zhong Bin breathed a sigh of relief at this time, raised his right hand high, and gave a military salute to the sailors. The sailors below also saluted him, all of them enthusiastic and high-spirited.

"Turn! Course two, three, three! Burn the wind! ”

"Heavy in position!" The non-commissioned officer of the machine gun crew roared loudly, and led the members of the machine gun crew to run to their respective combat positions, open the ammunition 'medicine' boxes scattered on the ground, and load the bullets into the ammunition supply plate. Not far away, the spring gun emplacements were so tense and orderly busy with the gunners, their movements had never been so swift and smooth as they were now, as skillful as walking and eating, and even the best of training in the past was far less than it is now. Every sailor threw himself into the battle with 120,000 enthusiasm, and even the soldiers on the lookout tried their best to look into the distance as if they had opened their eyes, striving to spot the nearest enemy ship in the shortest possible time.

The destroyer elegantly drew a semicircle on the sea, turned its bow, and passed through the two burning Medeno warships again, and plunged headlong into the morning fog and smoke.

"Captain! Look at the back! Yang Junbo's ears heard the shouts of the lookout, "Destroyer!" Our destroyers! ”

The officers couldn't help but flock to the stern, because the Victory was already on the edge of the battlefield, it was not greatly affected by the thick smoke, as the sun rose, the fine water droplets attached to the floating salt grains were gradually evaporated by the heat, and the morning fog around them had begun to become thin, and they had a certain understanding of the situation on the entire battlefield.

At this time, Yang Junbo and the others knew how many Maidno fleets they were facing today, not counting the two burning warships in the distance, there were six Gorgeous-class battleships alone, in addition to three Fengrui-class battleships, in addition to these capital ships, there were also many transport ships full of jumping sailors, and there were also light warships and fast sailing ships wandering in the battle array, all of which were accelerating towards their side at this moment, if it weren't for the fact that the Victory was already in the reef area, I am afraid that it would have been caught up long ago.

And in the distance at this moment, judging from the figure of the destroyer, the front and rear masts were already full of sails, rushing towards the entire Medeno fleet at full speed, the ships in the Medeno fleet were all adjusting their course and attitude in a panic at the moment, and from time to time there were collisions with each other in order to avoid the Chinese destroyers rushing in, and the sailors who did not grasp it fell into the sea one after another.
