'Boom...... Rumble! Although most of the anti-aircraft fire stopped, the two main gun turrets in front of the Ninghai opened fire on the approaching ships on both sides, and the orange-red fire flashed in the muzzles, and almost at the same time, a ship that was about to sweep over the Ninghai was immediately hit by the gun, and a larger explosion exploded a few hundred meters away on the port side, and the three Japanese pilots sitting on it were blown out of one of them.

The sailors didn't have time to celebrate the end of the devil, and the bombs above their heads were falling, one of which landed on the near side of the bridge, and then the sky was shattered, and the black smoke and water sprayed together to engulf the shaky bridge. Lieutenant Lin Renji, who was observing the trajectory of the port torpedo, only felt that the heat wave was paving, but in an instant he didn't know anything - a shrapnel hit him in the head, and splashes of brain pulp and blood sprayed Gao Xianshen in the face. Gao Xianshen didn't feel anything about this, he was screaming torpedoes vigorously, torpedoes are useless in the shallow Yangtze River, but torpedoes are rampant in the sea, as long as the Ninghai is hit by a torpedo, the more than 300 people on the ship will die and have no place to be buried.

"Four torpedoes on the port side, four tor......pedoes on the port side," said quartermaster Chen Hui, who ran to the command tower during the explosion, and the bomb explosion just now also blew him down.

"You're inside!" Gao Xianshen's face was mixed with blood and sweat, he held the steering gear with both hands, and the Ninghai continued to fill the rudder on the right. The ship is really small and easy to turn around, the Japanese threw four torpedoes on the course in front of the Ninghai, but the Ninghai did not move forward at all, it has always maintained the posture of the right full rudder, and drew half a circle on the sea surface under the stunned eyes of the devil, and went back directly, and the torpedo closest to the Ninghai could graze its stern, and went away helplessly with a white track.

Although the Ninghai is not strong in anti-aircraft firepower, the captain Gao Xianshen is well steered, and the Ninghai ship is small, and the first round of attack has no achievements except for a close miss and a direct hit. It's just that the battle is still going on, the Japanese planes are buzzing around the Ninghai like flies, and not long after the Ninghai turned around the bow of the ship at 180 degrees, the second round of attack came again, and it was still the ship's explosion that took the lead in diving down from a height of 3,000 meters above the stern regardless of the anti-aircraft fire, but this time Major Gan Lijing was no longer fooled, and he did not pay attention to the torpedo planes on both sides at all times.

There were only more than 20 planes attacking this time, and in addition to the six ship battles, there were also eight ship bombs and eight ship attacks, half of which had already dropped torpedoes, and the remaining four ship attacks were no longer divided into two teams, but only attacked from one side. Looking at the torpedo planes flying closer and closer three kilometers away, Gan Lijing ordered the main guns of the anti-aircraft guns to attack the approaching ships in a burst, and the anti-aircraft machine guns also divided half of their fire to fire at the Japanese planes on the starboard side. In the rain of bullets, one of the ship's attackers finally broke its wing and caught fire, and then rolled and fell to the sea, but the other ship's attackers still struggled to drop torpedoes.

"Three torpedoes on the starboard side!" Chen Hui looked at Lei Ji and shouted, but he was not as panicked as before.

Gao Xianshen was not panicked, although the Ninghai had poor long-distance sailing performance, it was a small ship of more than 2,000 tons after all, with a total length of only one hundred and six meters, and as long as he was lucky, he could always pass through the cracks of these torpedoes without incident. With Gao Xianshen at the helm, the Ninghai began to maneuver again to avoid the torpedo, and Meng Hanzhong, the chief of the No. 1 main gun, ignored the explosion on the near side, and only stared at the torpedo that was getting closer and closer, shouting Mazu bless. The torpedoes got closer and closer, and the splashes from the firing of the torpedoes became higher and higher, and finally, the hull of the Ninghai, which was less than 12 meters wide, narrowly passed through the gap between the two torpedoes.

The sailors on the deck couldn't shout at all when they saw the torpedo, and when the torpedo rushed past the stern of the ship, they cried out with excitement from the bottom of their hearts. Gao Xianshen touched his face at this time, laughed very self-deprecatingly, and scolded: "Tho Kui! It's ****** a lot! After scolding, he corrected the course again, and then said into the microphone: "All departments report the damage." ”

The Japanese planes were still hovering overhead, but in addition to the eight ships attacking the Japanese planes and six Type 96 ships, the remaining eight Type 96 ships could only carry 16 60-kilogram bombs, and now that all the bombs and torpedoes had been dropped, they could only circle around the Ninghai, and the two 7.7mm machine guns could not do anything with the Ninghai.

"The ...... of water entering the No. 15 cabin on the right" A bunch of non-anomalous reports, the voice of Chief Engineer Yao Fahua was extremely harsh.

"Plug it now!" Gao Xianshen's face sank, just now he hit several bombs that were nearly missed, and the power of the sixty-kilogram bomb was not trivial, he immediately dropped the steering gear, and said again to the microphone: "Pay attention to the artillery, immediately place the wounded, replenish the ammunition, and the Japanese will return it!" ”

The Japanese plane was hanging far away, hovering around the Ninghai for more than ten minutes before returning unwillingly. As soon as the plane left, the sailors cheered loudly, but when they looked down at the dead on the deck, everyone was not happy. At 4:11 p.m., the Ninghai, which had escaped the first blow, spit thick black smoke and staggered sideways to Holland Harbor, 60 nautical miles away.

The battle in the air lasted less than 20 minutes, but the radio waves emitted by the high-power radio station of the Ninghai still reached Wuchang. Chen Jiliang had already gone abroad, and Chen Shaokuan, who was holding a telegram, looked at Chen Xunyong and looked at each other. Of course, they knew why they wanted the Ninghai to go to the sea in a hurry to break diplomatic relations, didn't they just want to create some pressure on the Ministry of Military Affairs and let the Air Force return those few naval pilots, but they didn't expect it to be discovered by Japanese planes before they left the Bering Sea, this is really ......

"It's all up to Mazu." Chen Xunyong saw that Chen Shaokuan's face was dark and he didn't speak, and muttered in a sigh.

"Aircraft carrier aircraft carrier! They know about aircraft carriers! Chen Shaokuan smashed the teacup on the table in a very faux puff, he felt that it was all Chen Jiliang's attempt to form a naval aviation force. But subconsciously, he also knew that this was caused by everyone's dissatisfaction with himself - before a certain meeting began, several captains were actually touting the 'army commander' Du Xiqi. Although Du Xiqi can only smoke a big cigarette and read palmistry, in retrospect, he can maintain the navy until he defects to the Kuomintang, and he has indeed made great contributions. Now that the Min Navy has been destroyed for the third time, the fate of the Navy and everyone has reached a critical moment, and most of the captains are beginning to be very dissatisfied with him.

Chen Shaokuan's right hand was pierced with blood by a broken porcelain piece, but he didn't feel anything. The adjutant, who did not understand what was going on inside, knocked on the door and came in to report another matter, that is, the Ministry of Military Affairs ordered the transfer of four senior trainer aircraft of the Navy to the Air Force.

"It's unreasonable!" Chen Xunyong also slapped the table, "This is a Navy plane!" ”

"The Air Force is the chairman's own son, how can we compare with them." Chen Shaokuan took out a handkerchief and wrapped his right hand, very self-deprecating, "The chairman can't find it, then I'll go find my wife, one plane for one person, the Air Force will always give us four people." ”

"What about Ning Hai?" Chen Xunyong looked at Chen Shaokuan and knew that he was doing his best.

"What can we do?" Chen Shaokuan smiled bitterly, "It can only depend on their luck." You immediately send a telegram to Li Shaosheng, tell him about this matter, and see if the British and American sides can think of a way, at least to get some people. Ninghai's sailors usually live on that cruise ship, and once they are caught by the Japanese, who knows if they will force a confession. ”

"I see!" Chen Xunyong also knew that the Japanese Navy must not be allowed to capture the crew of the Ninghai, as long as one person said that the Longtian Maru was not sunk but hidden in the Bering Sea, then this hard-earned cruise ship would very likely be found by the Japanese, which means that the Ninghai's year-long efforts were all in vain.

The sun was gradually turning westward in the Caribbean Sea, and the divers fished out a lot of things from underneath, including silver coins, copper ingots, jewelry, ballast stones and ship nails, and they were very excited to see the ship nails Li Kongrong and Fang Ying, which showed that the Lady Atoka they were looking for was nearby - the ship nails were scattered by the 500-ton wooden ship torn apart by a hurricane, and since the wooden ship was torn, then it means that it is sinking.

"It looks like I'm going to come here to hunt for treasure after the war in the future." The captain of the ship, Colonel Fang Ying, couldn't put it down when he touched the things he had fished from the bottom of the sea, he never thought that he would have such a rich harvest today.

"Hehe, it's okay to come with your own family, but I can't find any big treasures." Li Kongrong leaned on a rattan chair unique to the south, and was swallowing a Cuban Havana cigar in his mouth. He was delighted and celebrated the success of the first step of the treasure hunt.

"Where is the great treasure then?" Fang Ying was also holding a cigar, which he had actually bought in Havana.

"There is a shipwreck called the San Jose on the Colombian side, which contains more gold, silver and jewelry than the Lady Atoca, but the water is more than 200 meters deep, and we can't go down at all." Li Kongrong imagined the golden shipwreck in the Caribbean Sea, he roughly knew where this ship was, if he was lucky, he might be able to find it in a few years, but the key was that people couldn't get down. "I can go down......," he thought for a moment, "...... However, there is a ship full of porcelain, about forty meters, but the porcelain is not valuable. ”

"Porcelain?" Fang Ying's eyes lit up, and he said, "It depends on when the porcelain is, if it's the Tang Dynasty......"

"It's the porcelain of the Tang Dynasty. There are more than 60,000 pieces. Lee Kongrong recalled the Blackstone that was fished up by the Germans, the location of this ship is very easy to remember, just on the west side of Belitung Island, there is also an iconic black reef, which must be easier to find than the Lady Atoka.

"Porcelain from the Tang Dynasty?! More than 60,000 pieces?! Fang Ying was dumbfounded, "Then what are we waiting for, pick it up, didn't you say that the jewelry can be auctioned, how can the porcelain be auctioned?" ”

"Is porcelain valuable?" Li Kongrong didn't know why, he had only inquired about the price of gemstones in New York.

"Of course the porcelain of the Tang Dynasty is worth a lot!" Fang Ying couldn't sit still, "An ordinary piece of Tang porcelain in China will be sold for at least a few hundred national coins, and you have more than 60,000 pieces, so there are not tens of millions of national coins?" Isn't that 10 million dollars? ”

"Not necessarily." Li Kongrong was still quiet, "These 60,000 pieces of porcelain were fished up and auctioned together, and the price of Tang porcelain plummeted immediately, and it is estimated that only a few thousand pieces can really be sold, which is ...... at most" Li Kongrong didn't take the Blackstone seriously, he was only interested in gold, but the Blackstone could be worth a lot of money when calculated, who dared to say that there were no fine products in the porcelain. "But this ship is a nautical mile from the coast, this is not like here, this is more really not the territorial waters of the United States, we are three nautical miles from the coast."

"A nautical mile from the coast?" Fang Ying muttered, "It's not that there's no way, isn't it okay to just sink a merchant ship directly?" Who knows which boat we're fishing for. ”

"Is that okay?" Li Kongrong thought that this was really a solution, and it was a big deal to lose a merchant ship.

"It works." Fang Ying stopped smoking cigars and began to think about how to get 60,000 pieces of porcelain. He was still looking forward to it, and there was a 'Fang Shipowner' outside, and diver Wang Yisheng came in with a black stone, the stone was too heavy, and he was half-thrown on the table with a 'bang' when he walked into the inner cabin, and the table was directly smashed flat.

"Ship Master, this is silver." Wang Yisheng's face turned red, and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

"Silver?!" Fang Yingshou touched the black silver bar, and when he saw the black thing being carried in, he guessed that it was a Spanish silver bar - Li Kongrong said that the silver was one by one, and it was all black because it had been left for a long time.

"Found the shipwreck?" It is not in Li Kongrong's impression that the silver bar was found here, since Wang Yisheng touched the silver bar, it is likely that the shipwreck was found.

"I haven't found it yet." Wang Yisheng shook his head, "I can't see clearly under the seabed, so I saw this pile of silver." ”

"This pile?" Fang Ying's eyes widened, according to Li Kongrong's statement, a silver bar is eighty-eight pounds and forty kilograms, but he didn't expect Wang Yisheng to find a bunch, how many silver dollars is this worth.

"Yes, a bunch, a dozen." Wang Yisheng was excited, he had never seen such silver in his life.

"Then hurry up and catch it." Fang Ying couldn't sit still, he was about to run to the deck.

"Don't go out." Li Kongrong grabbed him. "It's the same as not finding it, anyway, everyone thinks it's still a stone and copper ingot or something, and it's not good to say that it's silver."

"This ......" Looking at the black silver bars, Fang Ying turned around the rattan chair twice and finally nodded, "Then let them enter the warehouse first, remember carefully." After he said that, he patted Wang Yisheng again, "Yisheng, you have made a meritorious service this time, remember to find the wreck, finding the wreck is a great merit, and the minister will personally celebrate your merit at that time." ”

Wang Yisheng is an ordinary engineer soldier, and he was only arranged to lay mines if he had good water quality, but unfortunately he didn't blow up the Izumo at the beginning. Now that he was inspired by Fang Yingyi, he trembled all over his body, and ran out to carry silver bars by himself. Watching Wang Yisheng go out, Li Kongrong and Fang Ying glanced at each other and laughed, the two had previously discussed that it would take several months to find the wreck, but now it seems that it will not take half a month.

"Minister Xiang Xin, they would definitely be very happy if they knew that we had found so many things so quickly......." Fang Ying laughed at the silver bars on the table. (To be continued.) )
