Shangguan Yunlong was taken aback, "You took action personally, what are you going to do?" ”

"I'm going to do it myself!"

"You're crazy!" Shangguan Yunlong couldn't believe his ears, Lin Fei, as the commander of the fleet and the emperor of Huaxia, actually wanted to operate the cannon himself like a gunner!

"This battle is the final decisive battle, and the outcome will be decided in this last half hour, in this half hour, the fleet has nothing left to command, only the artillery vs. artillery duel remains!"

"Nope! It's too dangerous! Shangguan Yunlong walked over and grabbed Lin Fei, "Even if we don't succeed in this battle, won't we still have a chance in the future?" ”

"The opportunity to completely annihilate the British and French battleships, I'm afraid there will be no more in the future, they will soon be dispersed into various detachments to carry out the plan of a complete blockade of the Huaxia Empire!"

Shangguan Yunlong had nothing to say, Lin Fei continued: "Order the three warships to try to suppress the enemy by firing their guns at a distance of three thousand meters, the enemy's accurate shooting distance is only two thousand meters, from three thousand meters to two thousand meters, we have the advantage of accurate shooting." ”

Lin Fei repeated: "Remember, try to suppress the enemy by firing artillery at a distance of three thousand meters!" Then he gently pushed Shangguan Yunlong away and walked out.

Lin Fei knew that the aimer of the No. 4 gun position was a recruit who participated in the battle for the first time, and the original aimer committed suicide because he was unwilling to follow Gao Longcheng to escape from the battle, Lin Fei decided to replace the aiming man of the No. 4 gun position, and personally operated the gun Lin Fei walked to the No. 4 gun position, and the gunners were so surprised when they saw Lin Fei coming, they even forgot to salute.

Lin Fei patted the recruit's aiming hand with his hand, and said with a smile: "You don't want to fight in actual combat this time, observe it, leave the actual combat to me." ”

The recruit gunner retreated to the back in surprise, and Lin Fei personally operated the artillery, just as he personally led the whaling ship to capture the cruiser.

The British and French cruisers in the distance were getting closer and closer, and the observers on one side kept reporting the distance: "Five thousand meters, four thousand eight hundred meters, four thousand five hundred meters......

The gunners of all the gun positions tensed their heartstrings, and according to Lin Fei's instructions just now, the firing distance would be three thousand meters!

"Four thousand meters!"

The ammunition hand beside Lin Fei opened the bolt and loaded a high-explosive shell!

"Three thousand five hundred meters!"

The observer beside Lin Fei loudly reported the direction of the gun, and Lin Fei relied on the feeling he had cultivated during the pilot training to accurately aim at the position!

"Three thousand meters!" The observer shouted with all his might.

"All gun positions, free fire!" The order of the captain of the fleet artillery came, and Lin Fei adjusted the muzzle of the gun for the last time, aimed it at the enemy ship, and pressed the fire button!

"Boom!" With a muffled sound, a puff of white smoke poured out of the tail of the cannon, a wave-shaped white smoke dispersed from the muzzle, and the shell in the bore of the cannon, with the whistling wind, flew towards the British cruiser opposite!

A dazzling burst of fire rose on that cruiser, and the place where the shells hit was exactly between the two gun emplacements, on which the gunners were hit by shrapnel at the same time and lay to the ground, bleeding profusely.

Everyone around Lin Fei exclaimed: "Your Majesty is so powerful, you actually hit the first shot!" ”

Lin Fei laughed, "It's just luck!" Hit it all at once! "The rapid-fire guns immediately fired twelve shells per minute, and at the same time, the naval guns on the other gun emplacements also rang out at the same time, the Great was equipped with the world's premier fire control system, and at a range of three thousand meters, it was much more accurate than the British and French cruisers, so it had the upper hand for a while, and a cruiser was instantly hit with a fire, and explosions burst out of the fire from time to time.

However, after all, the British and French cruisers were numerous, and although two battleships were beaten out of battle, there were still six battleships that pulled three Huaxia battleships into range and began to shoot at Huaxia battleships!

This stage took fifteen minutes, that is to say, as long as the Huaxia battleship held on for another fifteen minutes, the British and French battleships would enter the ambush circle of the monster-class submarine, and the three battleships would be able to break away from the enemy ship at high speed.

Lin Fei fired at the gun position for another five minutes, and when he saw that it was almost time, he returned to the command room, and in the next fire, although the three battleships were hit by several shells, the damage caused was not large, fortunately, it did not cause the speed to slow down, once the speed slowed down, it was caught up by the battleships behind.

There were still five minutes left, and Lin Fei could lead the fleet to speed away, but at this moment, Lin Fei suddenly felt a sudden shock from the Song Zu ship, and he couldn't help but fall forward, and he supported the command platform with his hand, so he stabilized his body, and his rich experience in naval warfare told Lin Fei that the Song Zu ship was shot!

Lin Fei immediately noticed the change in the Song Zu Ship, it turned out that the Song Zu Ship was moving briskly in the roar, but after being bombed, the speed suddenly slowed down a lot!

At this time, the anxious and panicked voice of the main tube wheel in the boiler room came from the microphone: "Report to Your Majesty, the boiler room has been shot, four steam boilers have been damaged, and four steam boilers have been damaged!" The Song Zu ship lost 20 percent of its speed, and 20 percent of its speed was lost! ”

Not to mention the loss of 20 percent of the speed of the Song Zu ship, even if it loses 10 percent, the Song Zu ship will be surrounded by British and French battleships!

Lin Fei's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly shouted, "Repair the damaged boiler immediately!" ”

"Report to Your Majesty, the damaged boiler is very badly damaged and cannot be repaired!"

Lin Fei was unwilling, "Is there really no way?" ”

The tone of the chief manager wheel was very resolute, "Report to Your Majesty, there is really no way, if you want to repair this kind of damage, you can only return to the factory!" ”

A burst of despair crossed Lin Fei's heart, was he really going to be surrounded by British and French battleships, and then sunk to the bottom of the sea?

No! No way! I must not die!

Not to mention that the Chinese are waiting for me to save, and not to mention that the Chinese Empire is waiting for me to lead, just say those girls with their own charms, I can't die!

They still have wishes waiting for me to fulfill, Cher wants to have a baby with me; Xiyun wants to give me the virgin body that I have guarded for seventeen years; Ningshuang also said that "when the time comes" can the house be rounded, but when is this "then"? There is also Meixiang, who is seriously ill and has not recovered, and I have to cure her illness.

At this life-and-death moment, Lin Fei thought of Meixiang, Ling Xue, Xiyun, Ningshuang, and even the girl who was poisoned by the wooden donkey, and Lin Fei was very guilty.

Lin Fei owes them too much, they follow Lin Fei, they can't enjoy any glory and wealth at all, the Chinese Empire is an empire, Lin Fei knows very well that in such an empire, it is difficult for officials to ensure integrity, so Lin Fei leads by example, never allowing Ling Xue and Xiyun to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, and buy luxury clothes and jewelry.

Girls are born with no resistance to beautiful clothes and jewelry, the two girls saw beautiful clothes and jewelry, they wanted to buy but didn't dare to buy them, that pitiful appearance Lin Fei looked distressed, with their beauty, coupled with Ling Xue's shrewdness and coquettishness, Xiyun's talent and thoughtfulness, marry any rich businessman, you can buy as many of these things as you want.

However, Lin Fei knew very well that the atmosphere of luxury must not be opened from himself, and once this opening was opened, the entire Chinese Empire would inevitably fall into the abyss of corruption and degeneration.

Lin Fei raised his hand, slapped it heavily on the command platform, turned his heart sideways, and said in a deep voice: "Boiler room, carry out super pressure ventilation for the undamaged boiler to make up for the power loss caused by the damaged boiler!" ”

Strong pressure ventilation is to use a blower to introduce strong air into the boiler to speed up the combustion rate and make the boiler produce maximum power, while super pressure ventilation is to use the maximum intensity ventilation to make the boiler exceed the limit of combustion.

Although this can increase the power in a short time, the price to pay is to lose the life of the boiler, the boiler may be directly burned to scrap, and more dangerously, this combustion will produce a large amount of high-pressure water vapor, exceeding the allowable limit of the steam generator, and exploding directly!

The chief steward in the boiler room hurriedly said: "But Your Majesty, if you do this, our boiler is very likely to be scrapped, and then all the power of the Song Zu ship will be lost, not only will the power be lost, but the boiler may also explode, and the entire battleship will be blown up and sunk at that time!" ”

Lin Fei said loudly: "I can't care so much, we have no other choice now but to give it a go!" ”

The chief pipe wheel could only agree, and immediately carried out super pressure ventilation on the remaining boilers of Song Zu's ship, the blower shook people's ears painfully, the boiler furnace was burned red, the high temperature produced more water vapor, the alarm light of steam overpressure kept flashing, the alarm bell rang vigorously, and the sailors on the side of the boiler were frightened one by one, for fear that the steam generator would suddenly explode.

Five minutes passed, and the chief pipe wheel finally couldn't support it, and he grabbed the microphone: "Your Majesty, please give the order to stop immediately, the boiler can't support it!" ”

There was not the slightest hesitation in Lin Fei's voice, "Hold on to me for the last three minutes!" ”

The chief pipe wheel raised his head, looked at the barometer that had been turned to the limit, and gritted his teeth fiercely, "Yes, Your Majesty!" We promise to hold out for three minutes! ”

The ultra-high pressure steam pushed the piston, and the piston transmission system drove the propeller, and the entire Song Zu ship sped up like a resurrection!

The next three minutes, for the sailors of the Song Zuship, were simply the longest three minutes in their lives, and everyone was praying that there would be no big explosion.

The incomparably long three minutes finally passed, and the British and French battleship fleets were all led into the ambush circle, Lin Fei immediately grabbed the microphone and shouted: "Boiler room, blower turn off!" ”

The stoker didn't need the main wheel to give orders, and immediately moved the shutdown handle, the roar of the blower soon stopped, and as soon as the blower stopped, the pressure of the steam quickly dropped, and the boiler naturally no longer had the danger of bursting, just when everyone was relieved, a more terrifying situation appeared!

After the ultra-extreme combustion just now, a large number of cracks appeared in the inner wall of the boiler, which means that the boiler can no longer run at high power, and under the influence of this, the power loss of the Song Zu ship is as high as sixty percent, that is to say, with the current speed of the Song Zu ship, even a small fishing boat can easily catch up, not to mention the battleship behind!

The victory or defeat of the battle is now pressed on the underwater monster-class submarine formation, if the four monster-class submarines can't completely annihilate the British and French battleships, Lin Fei has only a dead end!
