Hua Hai ordered in a deep voice: "Order the No. 4 to No. 7 gun positions, four consecutive shots, and bombard the Son of the Sea." ”

As soon as the order was issued, the gunners acted immediately, the No. 4 to No. 7 gun positions were 120 mm rapid-fire guns, these guns were located on the ear platform of the ship's side, just facing the bombardment of the water cannon of the Children of the Sea, the gunners hid behind the gun guards, but they were still hit by the water column, because the guards could only protect both sides of the gun body, and there was no guard in the middle of the gun body, and water could be shot in from the middle of the gun body.

In the naval battle, the probability of shells coming in from the central position is very small, but the water column is different, the water column is pervasive, and the gunners are all drenched into soup.

The four naval guns fired shells together, at this time Zhou Wen's ship was less than three hundred meters away from the Son of the Ocean, and the naval guns almost did not need to aim to hit the Son of the Ocean, sixteen shells hit the Son of the Ocean one after another, exploding, and caught fire, one of the shells hit the pile of people operating the high-pressure water cannon, and after an explosion, the Yankees who were still arrogant just now all turned into minced meat.

The Son of the Ocean is a large ship with a displacement of 20,000 tons, and the cabin is loaded with non-explosive cargo (in fact, the Son of the Ocean is loaded with cars, which is used to support the Qing army, which is also the reason why the Son of the Ocean is reluctant to turn around and retreat), and sixteen shells hit it, just like sixteen mosquitoes biting an elephant.

The Son of the Ocean still maintained its original course and sailed towards the port of Shanghai, Hua Hai saw that the Son of the Ocean had been hit by sixteen shells and still continued to move forward, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Since the Son of the Ocean is looking for death, it is up to us to send a signal to the Son of the Ocean, if they do not stop the ship, our ship will continue to fire shells until they stop the ship, or they sink." ”

The news was immediately sent, the Son of the Sea finally gave in, and sent a signal that "we are willing to stop the ship", Hua Hai then ordered the ship's guns to stop the shelling, but after waiting for a few minutes, no crew came to the front deck to manipulate the anchor, Hua Hai's heart moved, and said softly: "Order all combat positions to be ready, the enemy is very likely to have a conspiracy." ”

Suddenly, I saw a group of Yankees rushing out and standing in a row on the side of the ship, each holding a rifle in their hands, which seemed to be the American military standard cragg? Jorgensen rifles.

The Yankees raised their rifles, a dense burst of gunfire rang out, and the bullets clanged on Zhou Wen's ship, and the Children of the Sea actually launched an attack on Zhou Wen's ship!

An American civilian transport ship dared to launch an attack on a Chinese warship, and the Americans were simply arrogant!

Hua Hai ordered loudly: "Prepare the machine guns and sweep away the group of Yankees!" ”

The entire Zhou Wen ship, equipped with twenty 11-mm six-barreled Grimm guns, can concentrate the fire of twelve Grimm guns on a certain side, these twelve Grimm guns fired together, and the Yankees who fired screamed miserably, and were beaten into minced flesh by the ferocious shells, red blood, white brains, and yellow feces and urine were mixed together, dripping all over the deck, which was disgusting......

Hua Hai thought that the Son of the Ocean would honestly stop resisting, but he didn't expect the Son of the Ocean to make an evil move again, only to see the Son of the Ocean suddenly turn around and collide with Zhou Wen's ship.

The displacement of the Zhou Wen ship is about 8,000 tons, and the displacement of the Son of the Ocean is 20,000 tons.

If Zhou Wenjian, an Emperor-class cruiser, was rammed and sunk by a civilian transport ship of the United States, it would really be a laughing stock in the history of human warfare.

Hua Hai watched the Son of the Ocean crash towards him, his face became solemn, he reached out and picked up the microphone, and said loudly: "Four tiger shark torpedoes, launch!" ”

Since the Tiger Shark torpedo was equipped with Hell-class submarines, the Emperor-class cruisers and Dynasty-class battleships were also equipped with torpedoes, and in the beginning, these battleships were not equipped with torpedoes, because the range of torpedoes was too close to be used in naval battles (the range of the Swordfish torpedo was only 1,500 meters).

The range of the Tiger Shark torpedo reached three thousand meters, which emboldened the Chinese battleship to use torpedoes.

The torpedo compartment is located near the waterline of the hull, the torpedo launch port is open above the waterline, and there is a heavy armor shield on the outside to prevent the enemy shells from hitting the torpedo compartment and detonating the torpedo, and the entire torpedo compartment is covered with thick armor plates, even if the shell hits the torpedo compartment, the explosion will not endanger the whole ship.

The torpedo launcher aimed at the Child of the Ocean and fired a torpedo, four tiger shark torpedoes jumped into the water and rushed towards the Child of the Ocean, the distance was very close, none of the four torpedoes missed the target, all of them hit the Child of the Ocean, four water curtains tens of meters high rose into the air, directly covering the Child of the Ocean, just now the Child of the Ocean "teased" Zhou Wenjian with a water cannon, and now Zhou Wenjian also uses a large water curtain to see who is more powerful......

The strong shock wave of the torpedo explosion tore apart the hull of the Ocean Child under the waterline, and a large amount of sea water poured in, and the entire Ocean Child quickly fell into the sea water at an angle, and the sailors on Zhou Wen's ship could even see the propeller in its stern.

The seafarers on the Children of the Ocean jumped into the water one after another, the Children of the Oceans sank so fast that they didn't even have time to put on life jackets, the seafarers jumped into the water, and immediately swam into the distance with their arms, the Children of the Oceans were too big, and when they sank, they would create a huge whirlpool and swallow everyone nearby.

After the torpedo hit the Child of the Ocean, it took only twenty seconds for the Child of the Ocean to sink completely, leaving only a large pile of debris on the surface of the sea and the struggling crew.

Hua Hai ordered: "Release the dinghy and capture the crew of the Children of the Sea." ”

Zhou Wenjian put down the dinghy and sailed to the crew of the Children of the Ocean, and quickly caught the crew of fifty-three people, including the captain of the Children of the Sea, the captain was very angry, and as soon as Zhou Wenjian jumped like thunder, he roared loudly: "What about your captain, let him get out and see me." ”

The sailors of the Zhou Wen ship ignored the captain who was yelling, and the two sailors picked up the rags that wiped the engine oil and walked towards the captain, to gag his mouth, Hua Hai happened to be nearby, he held the attitude of teasing the American captain, and happily walked up to the American captain, and said with a smile: "I am the captain of this battleship, do you see anything wrong with me?" ”

The American captain waved his arms and roared: "I protest, solemnly protest, your Huaxia warships sank our transport ship for no reason, and you must compensate us for our losses." ”

"Unprovoked sinking?" Hua Hai's brows tightened, "We warned you several times, but you didn't listen, and you shot at us, and even tried to sink our warship, and you were sunk by us, which is purely self-inflicted." ”

The American captain raised his voice and shouted: "We didn't shoot at you at all, let alone try to sink you, you are a frame-up, a disgusting frame-up." ”

Hua Hai sneered, "Say we're framing you?" Well, come on, go dig up the bullets of the Americans on the ship and show them to the angry American captain. ”

Several sailors soon came to the position where they were hit by American rifles, the American warhead stuck in the hull, the sailors dug the warhead with bayonets and sent it to Hua Hai, who raised his hand in front of the American captain and said with a smile: "Look at it, this is your American cragg?" Jorgensen's rifle fired a three-two-inch bullet, what else do you have to say? ”

The American captain glanced at Hua Hai and said disdainfully: "This is purely your frame-me, did you get our cragg yourself?" Jorgensen rifles, then hit their own warships, framing us. ”

Hua Hai was completely speechless, this American captain is simply a scoundrel, just unreasonable, you can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, and you will never be able to reason with an unreasonable person.

Hua Hai didn't bother to talk nonsense with the American captain, waved a few sailors, and ordered: "Lock these Yankees in the transmission compartment for me, and tie them up." ”

Normally, when a Chinese warship catches a prisoner, it will detain the prisoners in the utility compartment, but this time they actually want to detain them in the transmission compartment, the sailors did not understand, so they asked: "Why do you want to detain them in the transmission compartment this time?" ”

Hua Hai smiled evilly, "These Yankees are too bastards, it won't work if they don't punish them well, the transmission compartment is all gears, and the sound when it is running can shock people to death, so that those Yankees' ears can enjoy it." ”

The sailors suddenly realized that they imprisoned the American captain and others in the transmission compartment, and the American captain and others had just stayed in the transmission compartment for less than five minutes, and then they wailed, desperately hitting the cabin door with their bodies to attract the attention of the Chinese sailors, and the Chinese sailors opened the door and came in, and the American captain and others knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Hurry up and let us get out of here, we know that we are wrong." ”

The sailors reported to Hua Hai, Hua Hai smiled proudly, which allowed the sailors to take the American captain and others out of the transmission compartment and detain them in the utility compartment.

Hua Hai reported the news of the sinking of an American transport ship to Lin Fei, who did not take the matter seriously at all, he asked Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao to inform the American ambassador, and then began to plan the next step of the operation, that is, to dispatch armored trucks to torture the thin cars of the Qing army.

When Ruan Phuc Bao Jiao saw the US ambassador and told him about the sinking of a transport ship, the US ambassador turned blue with anger on the spot, slapped the table and scolded: "You Huaxia are too bullying. ”

Ruan Fu Baojiao did not show weakness and responded proudly: "It was you who were unreasonable in the United States, okay, don't say much, I'll leave first, whether you the United States declares war or protests, we are not afraid." ”
