[Chapter Word Count:3065 Last Updated:2014-12-1221:30:52.0]

The captain struck him, and the blade suddenly severed his carotid artery, blood gushed out, and the captain fell backwards and passed out. Lin Fei was shocked, and hurriedly went up and pressed the captain's carotid artery, trying to stop the bleeding, but it had no effect, the captain used great strength, this knife cut extremely deep, and the captain had no hope of saving him.

At this time, Liu Daming ran into the wheelhouse, saw the captain dead on the ground, surrounded by flowing blood, and exclaimed: "Lao Lin, why did you kill the captain?" ”

Lin Fei said ashamedly: "I didn't look at him and let him commit suicide!" ”

Liu Daming said: "Then we will fight one cabin after another!" ”

Lin Yuan frowned and said, "Then there is no way, is Lao Yu here?" ”

Liu Daming said: "He's already here!" Everyone on board the Pangu is here. ”

Lin Fei said: "That's good, you let Lao Yu take someone to guard the cab, let's go clean up the Spaniards in the cabin!" ”

Liu Daming frowned and said, "Although this cruiser is not as big as the Zhiyuan ship, there are also a lot of cabins, can we fight it?" ”

Lin Fei said: "Although it has many cabins, there are two cabins that are the most important, the first is the ammunition depot, I am worried that the Spaniards will detonate the shells in it and sink themselves; The second is the steam engine room, where we control the power of the entire battleship. ”

"This battleship is a protective cruiser, the ammunition depot and the steam engine room are in the protective armored fort, they should not be far apart, let's enter the protective armored fort and knock down these two key compartments."

Liu Daming said "Okay", and followed Lin Fei to the nearest deck entrance, the deck entrance was a circular hatch, Liu Daming was just about to pull it open, Lin Fei stopped him, and said: "Be careful, there may be someone ambushing below, you use the fastest speed to pull it open, and then dodge." ”

Liu Daming nodded, stretched out his hand and pulled the handle outside the hatch suddenly, the hatch of this battleship did not have an internal lock structure, so Liu Daming opened it as soon as he pulled it, and after he opened the hatch, he flashed to the side according to what Lin Fei said, and at this moment, a group of things suddenly flew up below, and if Liu Daming didn't dodge it, he would be hit.

Those things fell on the deck, and everyone could see that they were glass wine bottles! Lin Feilang laughed loudly: "The Spaniards on this ship don't have guns!" Brothers, greet them with guns first! After Lin Fei finished speaking, he put the gun into the hatch and pulled the trigger, only to hear a scream from inside, and the other sailors followed Lin Fei's example, put the gun into the hatch, and pulled the trigger.

After a few screams, only the sound of rushing from inside was heard, Lin Fei looked at it, and saw a group of Spanish sailors running into the distance, Lin Fei grabbed the escalator and jumped down, Liu Daming and others also jumped down, Lin Fei pointed to the stern of the ship with his hand, and said: "The armored fort is in that direction, follow me." ”

This cruiser has been in service for seven years, the hull is quite old, the cabin is full of metal patches and falling paint, Lin Fei led people to the stern, from time to time there were sailors with all kinds of tools to pounce, and as a result, they all became ghosts under the guns of Lin Fei and others.

This battleship is not big, with a displacement of 1010 tons, only half of the Zhiyuan ship, so everyone quickly rushed to the armored fort, the so-called "armored fort", which is a compartment surrounded by armor, and this cabin contains the ammunition depot and the steam engine room.

A watertight door outside the armored fort blocked everyone's way, through the glass porthole on the watertight door, Lin Fei saw dozens of sailors behind him holding wooden sticks, iron drills, and wrenches, staring nervously at the watertight door, Lin Fei raised his gun and slammed the glass porthole with the butt of the gun, "bang", the glass porthole did not move at all, and Lin Fei was shocked to take two steps back.

Lin Fei thought about it, raised the gun and pointed it at the glass porthole, and with a "snap", a bullet hole appeared on the glass porthole, Lin Fei picked up the butt of the gun and smashed it on the bullet hole, the glass piece was broken, and the porthole became a big hole, Lin Fei put the gun into the porthole, fired two shots in a row, two Spanish sailors fell to the ground in response, and the rest of the people ran to the cabin behind.

Lin Fei asked a sailor to put his hand into the porthole, open the watertight door, and rush in. There are several cabins on both sides of the aisle, and when I open the door of the cabin, I see that it is full of iron boxes, and in the iron boxes are yellow shells and squarely wrapped propellant packets, which are ammunition depots.

Lin Fei was just about to walk out of the ammunition depot, when he suddenly heard a noise behind the ammunition box, Lin Fei reached out and took out Saladin's blade, and shouted in stiff Spanish: "Get out!" ”

I saw a black-haired and black-eyed man come out from behind the ammunition box, he raised his hands high and said in Spanish: "Don't kill me, I surrender, I surrender!" ”

Lin Fei saw that this person looked very similar to a Chinese, so he changed his Chinese and asked, "Are you Chinese?" ”

The man's eyes lit up when he heard Chinese, and he said to Lin Yuan in Chinese: "Yes, yes, yes, I am Chinese, and my ancestors are Cantonese. ”

Lin Fei frowned and said, "Then how did you become a sailor on a Spanish warship?" ”

The man hurriedly said, "I'm not a sailor, I'm just a sailor." ”

Lin Fei didn't understand a little, and Liu Daming shouted on the side: "What sailor sailor? Is it interesting to pick this word? I think you are deliberately entertaining us, Lao Tzu will disembowel you first! With that, he drew his machete and stepped forward.

The man hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "A good man spares his life!" I was just a sailor running a boat, and the Spanish officers recruited us on board to do some sailors' work, so that we could save the number of sailors and make it easier to eat empty wages. ”

Liu Daming laughed when he heard it: "Spaniards also know how to eat empty salaries? Haha, it's the same as those dog officials in the Qing court! ”

Lin Fei said at this time: "You just said 'Recruit you to the ship', do you mean that there are people like you on the ship?" ”

The sailor nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, there are twenty-five Chinese sailors like me. ”

Lin Fei's mind turned, why don't these Chinese be used by me? So he said softly, "Brother, what's your name?" ”

The man said: "The villain's surname is Huang, and he is ranked third, so he is called 'Huang San'. ”

Lin Fei stretched out his hand to pick up Huang San and said, "Brother Huang, we are all Chinese, an ancestor, follow me, I won't kill you, how?" ”

Huang San hurriedly said: "As long as the heroes don't kill me, let me do anything." ”

Lin Fei said: "You followed us and persuaded all the brothers like you to surrender, how about it?" ”

Huang San didn't think about it and said: "Of course, we went on the warship just to support our family, and we can't give our lives, hero, I can also tell you one thing, you don't have to kill those Spanish sailors at all, they don't want to die, if you talk to them well, they may be able to surrender to you." ”

Lin Fei was overjoyed in his heart, and secretly thought that it would be too good to be like this, so he could save himself from continuing to fight. So Lin Fei turned his head to Sun Yong and said, "Sun Yong, you take this Huang San back to the command room, and let him use the microphone of the whole ship to persuade the Spanish sailors to surrender!" ”

Sun Yong agreed, and took Huang San back to the command room, and after a while, the whole ship sounded the sound of Huang San's persuasion to surrender, and after more than ten minutes, a team of Spanish sailors came out of the cabin and surrendered to Lin Fei.

Lin Fei counted the number of people, there were fifty-six Spanish sailors and twenty-five Chinese sailors, Lin Fei asked the sailors to be guarded in the general cargo hold, called Huang San and other Chinese sailors to the front, and said to them: "Brothers, you work on the Spanish ship, how much do they give you?" ”

Huang San replied: "One hundred pesos a month." ”

Lin Fei had never lived in the Philippines and didn't know what a hundred pesos was worth, so he asked, "What can a hundred pesos do?" ”

Huang San smiled bitterly: "Save money for a year, and the rest of the money can eat a few meals of meat during the New Year, pull a few feet of good cloth for the children and mother-in-law, and make a few beautiful clothes." ”

Lin Fei frowned and said, "That's too low, so let's do it, you follow me, and I'll give you five hundred pesos per month each, how about it?" ”

Everyone applauded, Lin Fei arranged them to various parts, Lin Fei's subordinates saw that they had grabbed a Spanish cruiser, and also surrendered twenty-five sailors, each of them was very excited, at this moment, Ma Chengfeng said to Lin Fei on the mast: "Captain, there is a ship on the port side!" ”

Lin Fei hurriedly took out his binoculars and looked at the port side, only to see a thick and fat ship sailing over, it was the Spanish troop transport, Ma Chengfeng said to Lin Fei at this time: "Captain, they sent us a light signal and asked why we didn't fire for so long?" ”

Lin Fei said with a microphone: "Ignore them! Then he said to everyone: "Brothers, we also have a warship now!" Are you still afraid of their troop carriers? Let's go, pack up their troop carriers with battleships! ”

Everyone cheered in unison, and Lin Fei said: "Lao Yu, you immediately go to the steam engine room and start the steam engine, Lao Liu, you stay in the wheelhouse and take the helm, Sun Yong, follow me to beat their transport ship with naval guns." ”

At this time, Liu Daming said: "What about our Pangu?" ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "Throw it on the sea first, anyway, if it breaks down, it won't be swept away by the waves." ”

Everyone immediately began to act, Lin Fei took Sun Yong to familiarize himself with the situation of the artillery, this artillery uses a simple elastic gun mount, it can be regarded as a rapid-fire gun, the gun body is bare, there is no turret, there is a sight on the tail of the gun, and the maximum distance on the gauge is 3000 meters, but on the sea, it is already very good to accurately hit the target at 1000 meters.

At this time, Huang San personally led people to transport the shells and propellants from the ammunition depot and sent them to the gun position, Lin Fei glanced at the Spanish painted on the shells, and asked, "What is written on it?" ”

Huang San replied: "The meaning of penetration." ”

Lin Fei nodded and thought: "It seems that this shell is an armor-piercing shell, the troop carrier on the opposite side is thick and fat, the freeboard is still low, the reserve buoyancy must not be large, and it should sink after a few armor-piercing shells." ”
