Chapter 4, Heavy Rain

Lu Qiang looked at the fleet that was gradually moving away, and his heart was hot, and he succeeded in going south this time, which meant that he had taken a big step forward in his journey in this world. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hum~~"

Two pandas flew overhead, Lu Qiang looked up, this was taken off from the aircraft carrier, and now the pilot is more and more proficient in the take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft carriers. However, this No. 2 aircraft carrier can only hold a maximum of 24 carrier-based aircraft, and originally it could only fit 6 jet aircraft, but the propeller aircraft is much smaller than the jet aircraft, and it can still fit so much squeezing. Although 24 may seem like a little less, the victory is high quality.

The fleet went from below the bay, crossed the 21st parallel, entered the Pacific Ocean, sailed to the very middle of the world, the 150th parallel, and then headed straight south, around the South Sea, to the east coast of Australia, where it was expected to dock in Brisbane.

In this way, the chances of meeting the Japanese army were greatly reduced, and the war-torn Southeast Asian countries were bypassed. However, in the New Guinea generation, there was a Japanese fleet to cover the landing of the army in Australia.

Because of the duck slippery, the whole fleet was slow, and the maximum speed did not exceed 18 knots.

On the first voyage, the crew on the ship was very excited, grinding their hands, ready to do a big job.

However, because the route avoided the Japanese army, it ran for a day without encountering another ship.

The first day was fine, and the second continued to face the blue sea, the crew felt a little bored, and there was nothing to do, especially the observing sentry, standing on the high mast, looking at the sea, in addition to blue or blue, the damage to the glasses after a long time was not small.

On the third day, because of the long voyage, the crew of the first voyage became a little embarrassed and could not keep up.

But there are also people who seem excited, of course, it's just a few people.

"After Gao, why are you so energetic? All at once. "On the duck slide of ship number 001, these people are all recruited, and they are all different. The person who was called the queen of the high school seemed to be very energetic, and he was not as unspirited as others.

"Don't you think the sea is fun?" Gao Hou stared at the innocent big eyes and said cutely, but he was in his twenties, and he was not cute at all.

"Fun? Hehe, you're so different. The companion rolled his eyes, and he couldn't compliment Gao Hou's hobby.

"It's because I'm different that I can be in it!" Gao Hou said.

"I don't see any other abilities you have, if you can eat and count as abilities, then you do have this ability." His companion stepped down from his stage without hesitation.

"It's a blessing to be able to eat, I found that your appetite has decreased a lot in the past two days, and your spirit has deteriorated a lot." Gao Hou said.

"Hehehe!" The companion snorted twice and stopped talking.

The sea is indeed very boring, they have nothing to do on the ship, the first voyage, there are some aspects of lack of preparation, but these are experience, slowly make up for the shortcomings.

The captain of the Yahua 001 ship is Cai Guangcheng, the first mate of the Guangzhou ship of the Yuan Guo Army. After the navy was destroyed, he fled home, until he was recruited by the 41st Group Army, because he was more experienced and had a certain ability, so he sat in the position of captain of the No. 1 ship. For Lu Qiang, it can be said that he has the grace of knowing him, so he also does his best.

As a captain, his greatest wish is to command a huge battleship and gallop on the sea, and Lu Qiang fulfilled his wish and gave him a dreadnought-class battleship for him to command.

Originally, his Guangzhou had only three guns, and the caliber was only 130mm. And now, the battleship that is sitting down, with a caliber of 40 centimeters of main guns, and as many as 9 guns, is now in command of him, which he did not dare to imagine before.

The battle of Wanwan strengthened his determination to follow the 41st Group Army and have meat to eat.

Cai Guangcheng stood on the edge of the conning tower, holding a telescope and looking at the sea in the distance, and occasionally a few seagulls flew through the telescope.

"It's flying so low, it's going to rain." Cai Guangcheng looked at the seagulls flying almost close to the surface of the sea and muttered to himself.

"It's raining, isn't it?" When a crew member next to him heard Cai Guangcheng's words, he didn't believe it, he looked up at the sky outside the glass, it was cloudless, it was blue, the sea and the sky were indistinguishable, how could it rain?

Cai Guangcheng didn't explain, looking at the sky quietly, he was sure that this baby hadn't been to sea much, and even if he went to sea, it was only near the sea.

Seeing that Cai Guangcheng stopped talking, the crew did not ask much, and continued to stare at the radar on the platform.

Ten minutes later, the originally calm sea suddenly blew wind and waves, and there was a tendency to get bigger and bigger, and the clear sky gradually darkened.

"Really, it's really going to rain?" Which crew member who stared at the radar inadvertently looked up and looked outside, and found that the environment had changed greatly, the sky and the earth were gradually losing color, and the waves were getting bigger and bigger, slapping the hull of the ship that was sitting down, but it could not shake its points, but the torpedo boat was miserable, and the wind and waves were swaying up and down with the waves, which made people a little worried about whether they would be overturned by a larger wave.

The sky grew darker and darker, as if stained with ink, and as if it were night, the lights were lit on the ship, and the crew on deck withdrew into the cabin.

"Why is it raining all of a sudden?" In the cabin, a man next to Gao Hou muttered.

"On the sea, this is a common thing, one second it may be calm, but the next second it may be a downpour." Gao Hou explained that as a person who has been at sea all year round, he knows very well what the sea is like.

"Is it so mysterious?" The man was somewhat unconvinced.

"It's not mysterious at all, it's like this on the sea, I guess you must have never been to the sea, otherwise you wouldn't know such a simple thing." Gao Hou said.

"It's not that I haven't been out to sea, I'm just fishing along the coast, and I haven't run this far." The man scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"Boom~" A flash of lightning swept through the air, as if to split the entire sky, and the heavy rain followed, crackling on the hull of the ship, very violent, hitting people, it is estimated that it hurts.

The heavy rain seriously obstructed the view, and it was impossible to see the outside world clearly, but there was a radar search, and it was okay.

On the Blue Ridge, the radar rotated in circles in the heavy rain, constantly receiving radio waves. In the command room under the radar, on a monitor, it was refreshed every 2 seconds, and a blue bright spot suddenly appeared on the display that was originally empty and clean.

The conning tower immediately stirred, and a bright spot appeared, which meant that there was an unknown ship more than 30 nautical miles away from them. (To be continued.) )
