The hundredth time to hang the white flag
[100] Hang the white flag
With the addition of the No. 2 gun position at the tail of the 608 boat, the 57mm barrage has enveloped the Xianning, and the minesweeper has gradually become a piece of honeycomb coal emitting fire and black smoke.
Due to the proximity of the distance, the gunners of the 608 began to fire unscrupulously, and at medium distances, they did not even need to look at the radar parameters, and the rapid-fire guns almost effortlessly completed the direct coverage shooting.
The "cannon six", which received the signal, did not move, well, it still moved, but in the exact opposite direction. Captain Zhu Huaiyuan saw the light signal sent by the Xianning shortly after it was shelled, but he also saw the accuracy of the 608's artillery, and with the shock of the shooting density of the bullet rain that was almost raindropping towards the Xianning, Zhu Huaiyuan knew very well that the Xianning was going to push himself out as cannon fodder.
Zhu Huaiyuan did something that made the Xianning stunned, he ordered the "Cannon Sixth" to turn around at full speed, insert it into the back of the Xianning, use the Xianning in the middle as a cover, and evacuate to the south by himself. In his opinion, the Xianning with a displacement of 615 tons did not take the lead, but asked a small 74-ton gunboat with a single-barreled 25mm gun and a 12.7mm machine gun to be plugged in as a death squad.
As soon as the turning order was issued, Zhu Huaiyuan proved how wise his judgment was, and the Xianning was shot.
WHEN LIN BAOKE, THE CAPTAIN OF THE XIANNING, RUSHED INTO THE BRIDGE, THE XIANNING HAD ALREADY BEEN SHOT, AND THE 14MM STEEL PLATE ON THE SIDE WAS BROKEN BY TWO HIGH-EXPLOSIVE ARMOR-PIERCING SHELLS, AND THE HULL OF MORE THAN 600 TONS CLEARLY FELT THE VIBRATION, AND A WORD "FINISHED" JUMPED OUT OF LIN BAOKE'S MIND. As soon as he rushed into the bridge command room, he was dragged by Deputy Captain Zhou Taifu: "Captain, I found a communist warship!" A total * warship! ”
Lin Baoke roared: "What a panic! Hurry up and send a report to the headquarters. ”
Chow Tai Fook hurriedly explained the order he had just given to Lin Baoke, Lin Baoke snatched the telescope, and while listening to Chow Tai Fook's report, he desperately held the telescope to observe, only to see an unknown type of ship in front of him spitting out flames while rushing towards his Xianning at high speed.
The first two shells hit the right side of the bow, opening only two black holes emitting fire and black smoke.
Then two shells hit the starboard side of the Xianning, the whole hull shook violently, the steel was squeezed and gurgling, this time it was the credit of the No. 2 gun position that had just been fired not long ago, the two shells drilled into the thin steel plate of the Xianning and exploded in the aisle of the cabin, killing on the spot a soldier who was carrying machine gun ammunition on the deck in the warehouse, and worse, the box of machine gun ammunition he was carrying also exploded with the explosion of the shells, on the wood, ding-dong ding-dong is endless.
Lin Baoke looked at the other party's two rapid-fire guns that suddenly spewed flames like machine guns, and his heart suddenly became dead, and he became afraid, and the ammunition that kept exploding in the surrounding sea made his fear even more sublimated.
An officer with a black and gray face rushed into the command room: "Captain! I've already been shot four times! Serious damage above the waterline in the front compartment! The passage below the foredeck has been blown up, Captain! Let's think of a way! Captain! ”
Lin Baoke's spirit was chaotic and he couldn't figure it out, at this moment the Xianning had begun to fire back, but Lin Baoke looked at it in the telescope for a long time, and he didn't see the landing point of most of the shells. Only a few unmarked shells smashed into his field of vision, making a splash.
"Tell the brethren to insist, this is not far from the Zhoushan Islands, and the headquarters will send warships to rescue us." After Lin Baoke said this, he suddenly had a strange thought, in case he couldn't insist on the rescue...... No, no, he shook his head from side to side, trying to shake the thought out.
There was jubilation in the 608 boat at the moment, "Hit!" Hit! The sailors cheered, and their subordinates increased their frequency even more, and operated the ship steadily.
Han Tingfeng saw that the Xianning was shot, and he realized that the balance of victory was tilting towards him, and he ordered: "Turn left at a distance of 2,000 meters, give me a shot around it, prepare 25mm guns, and start at 2,500 meters to concentrate fire on the opponent's bridge and deck, and suppress the opponent's artillery and machine guns." ”
The Xianning is still being shot, if it weren't for the fact that the structure of the Italian minesweeper is quite strong, and the 57mm caliber shells are only considered medium-caliber naval guns, it would have been on fire at this moment. But with such a continuous attack, the future can be described as dark.
Lin Baoke was panicked and angry in his heart, feeling that he had made a big mistake, but he couldn't see the consequences of the mistake for a while. The shameless escape of the "Cannon Six" had blown up his angry lungs, but what could he do, he also understood that in the face of such a ferocious firepower projection capability of the enemy's rapid-fire guns, the "Cannon Six" rushed up just to deliver food.
The steam engine of the Xianning emitted thick black smoke, twisted the hull of the ship, and wanted to escape, but the side was exposed in front of the opponent, like a huge target, and it was already less than 4,000 meters away, and a 57mm high-explosive armor-piercing projectile ruthlessly penetrated into it, exploding, and the hole in the hull that was made when it got in was even bigger, and the smoke was already billowing in the ship at this moment.
"Brothers, hold on! Hold on! Deputy Captain Chow Tai Fook shouted in a panic.
037 is too fast, 2500 meters distance said that it arrived in the blink of an eye, with the 608 boat 57mm twin and 25mm twin guns four concentrated fire on the Xianning turret, soon, Xianning was disarmed, two 80mm guns were terminated, the ammunition stacked on the deck exploded, and the entire ship was shrouded in skyrocketing fire.
"Defeated, defeated...... Dafu, hang the white flag, I ......" Lin Baoke's face was miserable, and he couldn't say anything more after giving the order to surrender. After seeing the frenzied strafing of the opponent's 25mm twin guns at 800 to 900 rounds per minute, he understood that resistance was in vain, and if he continued to fight, there would be no living people on deck.
In addition, another PLA warship of the same type appeared in the field of vision, approaching the Xianning quickly, this is still a fart.
This finally made Lin Baoke make up his mind, he still has a small family, he doesn't want to die yet, especially he doesn't want to die in a civil war, the PLA has such a powerful warship, and the remnants of Taiwan's army will be defeated. Lin Baoke hoped that Lao Chiang would think that he was captured and not kill all his family members who had been transferred to Taiwan. This point requires the next plea to the head of the PLA.
"The enemy has a white flag! The Xianning surrendered! "With the announcement from the command room coming from all the loudspeakers of the whole ship, 608 was almost boiling.
Chief Engineer Shi Dasheng hummed the Northern Shaanxi minor tune that he had only recently learned from a few Northwest Babies, his eyes narrowed into a line, and Political Commissar Huang Miaozi stomped his feet and clapped his hands like a child, almost hugging everyone in front of him.
"Keep up the good work, and clean up the little gunboat in the back." Han Tingfeng was in high spirits at the moment.
As a result, the main gun of the 608 had just fired a few rounds of the "Cannon Six", and Zhu Huaiyuan, who saw the Xianning with a white flag, also hung the sheets on the mast in the spirit of knowing the times and being a junjie.
There is no way, Zhu Huaiyuan can see that the other party's speed of 30 knots is there, and escaping is a dead end.
608 was jubilant again, who would have thought that from the first shot, in less than half an hour, a naval battle was over, and the ships of this side were unscathed except for the marks of a few more machine-gun bullets. Capture two opposing combat ships in one fell swoop.
