The pickup, heading south from Uruguay, bypassed South America a few days later and entered the South Pacific. It was December 1, 1937. And Li Guang stood in the captain's room, looking at his precious destroyer, his face full of worry.

It's already close to Antarctica, the temperature has plummeted, and the pickup has formed a thick layer of ice. Li Guang could even hear the creaking sound coming from the hull, and he was very worried that the ship would fall apart.

Zheng Xuechang watched the crew shoveling snow on the deck and said, "It's not difficult, if it encounters a storm, it's the most dangerous." ”

The sky was dyingly overcast, and the whole sky was like the bottom of a gray and black pot. Li Guang asked, "Will it snow on the sea?" ”

Zheng Xuechang said: "Of course it will, but it is rarely seen in China's waters." It might snow here. ”

Li Guang was very suspicious, he was here in the southern hemisphere, and it belonged to summer. Although it is located at the southern tip of South America, it probably doesn't snow.

Just when Li Guang was suspicious, he found that not only was it snowing, but also the wind began to blow on the sea, and in less than ten minutes, the wind had reached level ten.

At this time, not only Li Guang's face turned pale with shock, but even Zheng Xuechang began to panic, desperately commanding all the soldiers to return to the warehouse and deal with it. Zheng Xuechang's two prophecies came true together, and it was a super crow's mouth.

Tiny human beings are defenseless in the face of the power of nature. The pickup with a displacement of two thousand tons was now swaying like a leaf on the sea. In the cabin, no one could stand firmly, and everyone could barely stand by holding on to a fixed object.

The first mate, Ren Tianyang, was sweating on his forehead at this time in the bitter cold wind, and now he is at the helm of the pickup. He had only sailed a barge on inland rivers before, and had never sailed on the seas at all, and when it came to sea experience, he was not as good as the boatswain Huang Zhonghua. At this moment, Huang Zhonghua watched the wind change from the side, and kept reminding him to adjust the steering wheel.

The icy sea water seemed to be tireless, rushing over the pickup again and again, leaving a layer of ice on the pickup with each seawater wash, and the weight of the pickup was rising rapidly.

At this time, Li Guang even felt that there was water in front and back, left and right, and even sea water above. The huge waves were able to cover the sky above the ship, and this situation made Li Guang almost feel that the end was coming.

In fact, at this time, it was not only Li Guang, almost everyone felt like this. Su Qing, an army captain who had just experienced life and death, was also a little overwhelmed in front of the power of heaven and earth at this time.

And a few timid crew members were already secretly sobbing at this time, and more were spitting up. Most of the crew had not even seen the sea a few months earlier, and the voyage on the Ariane was almost the first time they had seen the sea, and during that journey, the crew had easily carried seasickness. And today, before he was at war with the devil, he encountered such a terrifying scene.

Two or three months of military training have enabled this group of soldiers to have initial discipline and combat courage, but when encountering such a snowstorm, it is still difficult for many people's psychological quality to bear.

In fact, at this time, Li Guang's performance was not much better than others. He seemed calm at the moment, and that was the outward manifestation he had to do as a captain. Li Guang once again pondered in his heart, was the path he chose to resist the liberation wrong?

To be honest, Li Guang did not have any bias towards the views of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and he also knew very well which one would be the ultimate winner. He chose the navy to resist, in fact, there were two reasons in his heart, one was that he felt that if he defected to Yan'an, he would definitely not be able to endure that kind of hardship. Second, he did not want to participate in the national civil war that followed the victory.

You must know that Li Guangke is a standard northerner, even in later generations he has not experienced a long voyage on the sea, and his longest trip by boat is only from Guangdong to Hainan. And now he has chosen the path of the navy, and almost everyone in the interior has an inexplicable fear of the sea. In this regard, the mainlanders are not as good as the people from the southeast coast, they can swim in the sea since they were young, and even have a sense of closeness to the sea.

Li Guang was thinking in the captain's room, when the ice on the ship had exceeded three inches, and the diesel engine had already let out a dull roar. As the boat rises and falls, the drag changes, and the sound of the diesel engine is high and low for a while. At this point, Li Guang can only pray to believe in the German devils, and there must be no problems with the diesel engine. In the stormy seas, once the pickup loses power, I am afraid that there is an immediate danger of capsizing.

The Pickup struggled in the blizzard for a full ten hours, and by dawn the ship was frozen to a foot, and the sea almost completely obliterated the deck.

Although there is no problem with the diesel engine, it has been turned ineffectively at the moment, and it is as heavy as a broken car pulled by an old cow.

And at this time, when the wind and snow did not abate in the slightest, and all the crew members were almost desperate, a real miracle appeared. The sky was blazing with blazing sunlight, and the sea breeze disappeared immediately, and the sea became calm. Just a nautical mile or two away, it's still choppy.

Li Guangguang scolded: "" has entered the center of the typhoon 100 percent. Originally, the ship should have followed the tangent of the typhoon's rotation and gradually detached itself from the typhoon's influence area, but due to lack of experience, it actually entered the center of the typhoon circle.

It's a misfortune to break into the storm circle, but it's a blessing that the wind is not strong. The question now is how to get out of this storm circle.

When Li Guang told Zheng Xuechang about this speculation, Zheng Xuechang vetoed this judgment with great certainty. The pickup had been sailing against the wind for a full ten hours, and Zheng Xuechang said that he had been paying attention to the magnetic compass and that the direction was not wrong. Meteorologically, a storm blowing from the South Pole to the equator is unlikely. So it should be the pickup number that survived the blizzard.

Li Guang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and at this time, the soldiers on the ship began to clean up the ice and snow again. Although the sun was still blazing, the snow and ice were so thick that the pickup was now only sailing at a speed of two or three knots.

At this time, Ji Kelian, who was in charge of the listening machine and sonar, reported that there were ships about seven nautical miles to the north.

Li Guang did not say anything about this news, this is the normal training content of the pickup, in Uruguay for more than a month, the four music students have mastered the sonar equipment very proficiently. The shipyard is located on the banks of the Río de la Plata, and if you put the equipment on a small boat, you can listen to the passing ships in the river, and several people can now basically read the watch, especially since Ji Kelian can tell which boat it is according to the different noises of the boats, which is like an artificial sound spectrum recorder.

Half an hour later, Li Guang was almost laughing angrily at the strange sight in front of him--- pirates are coming.
