Lin Fei was thinking about it, another cannonball hit the enemy ship, and a bright yellow fire burst out, at this time Ma Chengfeng said loudly: "Report to the captain, the opposite warship has sent a light signal." ”

Lin Fei hurriedly asked, "What did they send?" ”

Ma Chengfeng replied: "We are the Spanish Navy, what cruiser, it's a ship name, I don't know what it means, the back is, we are our own people, don't shoot." ”

Lin Fei laughed as soon as he heard this, it turned out that the Spanish warship on the opposite side regarded the Nuwa ship as their person, so they did not open fire, but wanted to quickly approach our ship, send a signal, and tell our ship not to open fire, and the initial approach was probably unintentional.

Lin Fei then picked up the microphone and ordered loudly: "All gun positions, use armor-piercing shells to sink the opponent's cruiser!" The Nuwa kept its current course unchanged. ”

The gunners on each gun emplacement immediately replaced the armor-piercing shells, and the cap-piercing shells flew towards the Spanish warship for a while.

At this time, on the Spanish warship, the captain of the ship, Baladec, was confused, and he held a microphone and shouted loudly: "Signal soldier, signal soldier, hurry up and send out a light signal and tell the warship on the other side, we are our own people, don't fire any more guns." ”

Lin Fei analyzed it well, this warship does regard the Nuwa ship as its own person, this warship is called Queen Isabel, it is an unprotected cruiser, the so-called unprotected cruiser is that the hull is unarmored.

The Queen Isabel did not find the Nuwa at the beginning, firstly, because the Nuwa implemented strict lighting control, and the searchlight shone in front of the battleship, and the angle from which the Queen Isabel was located could not be seen; The second reason is that the officers and sailors on the Queen Isabel ship are not very high-quality and lack the ability to detect faint lights in foggy conditions at night. So it was purely a coincidence that the Queen Isabel ship began to approach the Nuwa ship.

When the Nuwa ship opened fire, the Queen Isabel ship knew that there was a warship on the opposite side, and the captain Baradek immediately made a judgment when he heard the sound of the cannons, and immediately ordered the Queen Isabel ship to approach the Nuwa ship, and sent a message with a light signal to tell the Nuwa ship not to open fire.

At this time, the chief of staff, Garcirol, came over and said: "Captain, the opposite side is still firing at us, what is going on?" Haven't they received our signal yet? ”

Baladeck frowned and said, "They should have received it!" ”

Garcirol wondered, "Then why are they still firing?" Aren't they the Spanish Navy? ”

Baladek didn't think about it and said: "Impossible, there is no other country in this area except our Spanish Empire that has a navy, and the warships of the Moro people are all small wooden ships, and there are no such large steel warships at all!" ”

Garcirol thought for a moment and said, "Do you remember the Cuba incident?" ”

"Of course, I remember that a group of mysteries robbed the cruiser USS Cuba, and that mysteries also ransacked several plantations, stole countless goods, and killed many Spaniards," Baladec said. ”

Garcirol said, "Do you think the battleship on the other side could be the cruiser Cuba?" ”

Baladek said categorically: "Absolutely impossible, that group of mysterious people has disappeared without a trace, how could they suddenly appear here?" How could we meet them? ”

Seeing that he had put forward two hypotheses in a row and were rejected by Baradeck, he stopped talking, and at this moment, the two only felt a shake under their feet, and Baladeck and Garcirol stumbled and almost fell to the ground, and Baladeck hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

At this time, a message came from the coal tank: "Report to the captain, the No. 1 coal tank was hit by a shell, and the port side coal tank began to flood!" ”

Battleships of this era often put coal bunkers on the side of the board to block armor-piercing shells, and when Baladek heard this report, he immediately said: "Quickly repair the leakage of the coal tank, and close the watertight door of the coal tank in case of emergency!" ”

At this time, the distance between the Queen Isabel ship and the Nuwa ship was only more than 500 meters, which happened to be the most accurate distance for naval guns to fight in this era.

In the blink of an eye, two cap-piercing shells fell on the Queen Isabel ship, the Queen Isabel ship is an unprotected cruiser, and the cap-piercing shells developed by Lin Fei are the world's top armor-piercing shells, with strong armor-piercing capabilities, and the thin layer of iron on the side of the Queen Isabel ship can't stop the armor-piercing bullets at all, and the armor-piercing bullets will make a big hole in the side as long as they touch the iron sheet on the side of the ship.

The armor-piercing shell quickly pierced the anchor chain compartment in the bow, the coal tank in the middle of the hull and the transmission compartment in the stern, and the entire port side was flooded in large quantities, and the Queen Isabel ship quickly tilted to the left.

On board the Queen Isabel, the damage controller reported to Baradek in a loud voice: "Captain, there is a lot of water on the port side, we have closed the watertight doors of the three compartments, and filled the starboard watertight compartment with a water pump, and temporarily maintained our balance, but the shells on the opposite side are still coming, and the port side has been tilted an octave, and it looks like it is about to roll over." ”

Only then did Baladek realize that the battleship on the opposite side completely wanted to kill the Queen Isabel, Baladek picked up the microphone and said viciously: "Gun positions, return fire!" ”

As soon as Baladek gave the order, the gunners hurriedly ran to the gun position, ready to return fire, but the Spanish sailors had been in a state of no opponent for a long time, so they had a loose style on weekdays and a very poor level of training, and it took a lot of time to get out of the living compartment and run to the gun position.

During this time, the Nuwa ship was still pouring cannonballs fiercely, and God seemed to want to help Lin Fei too, the fog slowly dispersed, and the Queen Isabel ship clearly appeared in the eyes of the gunners of the Nuwa ship.

As soon as the Queen Isabel ship appeared in the gunner's eyes, the stereo rangefinder and fire control computer designed by Lin Fei came into play, and the shells were more accurate.

In the case of Queen Isabel's hull with several bullets, an Achilles' heel of the design became apparent, and that was the low buoyancy of the reserve.

The so-called reserve buoyancy, simply understood is how much water the hull can enter, the more water the reserve buoyancy can enter, it is not easy to sink, the reserve buoyancy is easy to sink, the reserve buoyancy of the Queen Isabel ship is very small, in the port side watertight compartment a large amount of water, starboard watertight tank water injection adjustment balance, the gravity of the entire hull actually exceeds the buoyancy, the whole ship is slowly sinking.

The damage controller rushed into the command room and shouted at Baladek, "Captain, let's abandon the ship!" ”

Baladeck frowned and said angrily, "You want me to abandon the ship? No way! Immediately activate all the pumps on the port side and pump the water out. ”

The damage controller said helplessly: "Captain, the power compartment of the water pump was damaged by the enemy ship's shells, and the water pumps are all out of order!" ”

Baladek shouted at the top of his voice, "Send someone to fix the pump......"

Before Baladek's words fell, they only heard a sudden whistling wind outside the porthole, and everyone subconsciously looked up to look out of the porthole, only to see something rushing towards the porthole, and before everyone could see what it was, it smashed the porthole, rushed into the command room, and slammed on Baladek!

Neither the damage controller nor Chief of Staff Garcirol could see what was happening, because the flying thing was so fast that by the time they could react, they saw that Baladek had turned into a puddle of minced meat!

It turned out that what flew was a cap-piercing shell, and this armor-piercing bullet actually hit the command room impartially and directly on Captain Baladeck's body!

The damage controller exclaimed, "The captain is dead, the captain is dead, everyone run for their lives, run for your lives." ”

After the damage controller finished speaking, he rushed out of the command room, rushed to the position of the lifeboat, and shouted loudly: "The captain is dead, everyone quickly put down the boat, abandon the ship and escape!" ”

At this time, the sailors on the ship were already in a mess, and when they heard this, they all rushed to the boat, and at this moment, a cannonball suddenly fell on everyone's side, and with a "boom", more than a dozen sailors, including the damage controller, were smashed into a sieve by the scattered shrapnel.

It turned out that Lin Fei saw the opposite battleship slowly sinking, so he ordered to switch to high-explosive bombs to kill and injure the personnel on the ship.

The Queen Isabel ship slowly sank, and there was only a large number of sailors struggling like ants left on the sea, Lin Fei felt a burst of joy in his heart, and asked Zhang Chuang to lead the sniper team to take a small boat to capture these Spanish sailors.

Zhang Chuang led the sniper team to row out in the dinghy, just rowed out a few dozen meters, Zhang Chuang suddenly saw a person swimming in the water, that person's swimming posture was very strange, his head was desperately raised upward, trying to show the surface of the water, his legs were quickly hitting the water, but he didn't see his arms paddling, as if this person had no arms.

Zhang Chuang felt very strange, so he asked a soldier to catch the person with a hook rod, the sniper team in order to capture the person in the water, specially made a hook rod, this kind of thing has a hook in front, when capturing the enemy in the water, use the hook to hit the person hard, the hook can pierce into the flesh of the person, and then pull back, the hooked person can't help but feel pain, can only be pulled along the hook rod to be pulled over.

A warrior struck the man in the back with a hook, and the hook pierced the flesh, and with a little more force the warrior hooked the strange swimmer.

When the strange swimmer approached the side of the boat, everyone reached out and grabbed him, Zhang Chuang looked at the man's face by the moonlight, and found that this person was a Chinese face, Zhang Chuang hurriedly asked in Chinese, "Are you Chinese?" ”

The man was stunned for a moment and asked rhetorically, "You are also Chinese?" ”

At this time, everyone worked together to pull the Shui Chinese onto the boat, and then everyone realized that this person's arms were tied behind him!

Zhang Chuang hurriedly asked, "Who are you?" Why do the Spaniards tie you? ”
