The crowd said, "What is there to be afraid of?" When our Zhiyuan ship went through the raindrops of shells to hit the Yoshino, who said a word of fear? Unafraid! Captain, just say what's going on. ”

Lin Fei nodded and said, "Okay, my solution is to get close to the Spanish cruiser and forcibly jump into the gang!" ”

"Gang jumping" refers to jumping from one boat to another, the process is very dangerous, once you can't jump into the other party's boat, you will be squeezed by both boats after falling into the water, and instantly become a meatloaf! "Gang jumping" can be said to be the oldest form of naval warfare, but in this era, warships have long used naval guns to decide the victory, and the "gang jumping" style of combat has withdrawn from the stage of naval warfare.

Lin Fei continued: "I'll tell you in detail how to jump the gang, I just said, whaling ships are both our disadvantage and our advantage, cruisers will let their guard down when they see civilian ships, so they won't be wary of us at all, we can take the opportunity to approach, and then jump to the gang." ”

Yu Xier shook his head again and again and said, "Will they let us take overboard?" If you want to jump, you have to take the gunboard! How is it possible for a warship to allow someone else's ship to forcibly take overboard? ”

Lin Fei said: "I have already taken this into consideration, and the signal hand is a trend!" ”

A strong man of medium stature walked over and replied in a loud voice, "My subordinates are here!" ”

Lin Fei said: "When approaching the Spanish cruiser for a while, you hang out the 'AE1 flag'!" If the Spanish warship uses a light signal to ask me about the ship, you don't see it, understand? ”

Ma Chengfeng replied loudly: "Understood! ”

Lin Fei said "AE1 flag" refers to the international maritime signal flag, this set of flag system in 1857 by the United Kingdom first introduced, soon all countries in the world began to use, this set of signal flags have 26 letter flags and 10 digital flags, the combination of different signal flags represents different meanings, "AE1" meaning is that our ship must abandon ship, no life-saving equipment, urgent need for rescue.

Lin Fei continued: "We hung up the AE1 flag, and the Spaniards will definitely not beat us, so we will take this opportunity to get close to them and take the gang." ”

Liu Daming frowned and said, "We haven't seen that cruiser up close, in case the freeboard of that cruiser is higher than ours, we won't be able to jump on it." ”

Lin Fei said firmly: "Don't worry, I can guarantee that the freeboard of that cruiser is definitely not as high as our Pangu." ”

Liu Daming said in surprise: "You haven't seen that cruiser, how do you know that its freeboard is not as high as ours?" ”

Lin Fei focused on studying the Spanish-American War in the naval history class, and knew the Spanish warships in this era well, and was naturally no stranger to the number of freeboard, all Spanish warships in the Philippines were not as high as the Pangu in the empty state. Lin Fei didn't explain much, just said: "It's good that everyone believes me, I don't have time to explain too much." ”

Everyone nodded, and Liu Daming shouted: "Then don't say more, hurry up and prepare." ”

Yu Xier said on the side: "Wait a minute! ”

Liu Daming glared and said, "Old Yangyu, what's the matter with you?" ”

Yu Xier said: "We didn't practice jumping at all when we were on the Zhiyuan ship!" What if I can't jump? Besides, there are only more than 20 people on our whaling ship, and there are at least 100 people on the opposite cruiser, and we must leave people to control the ship, do you think we will be opponents? ”

Lin Fei said: "On the question of whether I can jump over, I will jump first, I will tie a rope to my body, jump over first, and then find a way to fix the rope on the enemy ship, everyone follow my rope to pass, the question of whether it is an opponent ......" Lin Fei pulled out the Saladin blade on his waist, and said loudly: "The brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, fight with them!" ”

Seeing Lin Fei like this, everyone was greatly boosted, gearing up, and ready to go. At this time, Ma Chengfeng had already hung out the signal flag, and the cruiser also appeared in the eyes of everyone, and in order to obtain better shooting accuracy, it adopted the method of anchoring and stopping the ship to shoot.

Lin Fei stood in the bow command room, looking at the waves in the sea from the transparent porthole, his mood also fluctuated like these waves, because this battle was too difficult!

Lin Fei's hand involuntarily touched the pocket, and found that there was something in the pocket, Lin Fei put his hand into the pocket, and a knot appeared in front of him, it was the Zhulian rope given to him by Chiyo Mika, Lin Fei's heart moved involuntarily.

At this moment, Ma Chengfeng shouted loudly: "Captain, the cruiser has contacted us using a light signal." ”

Lin Fei hurriedly asked, "What content are they sending?" ”

Ma Chengfeng said: "Ask us about our nationality and the damage to the ship!" ”

Lin Fei said loudly: "Don't ignore him!" Keep moving. ”

The sea breeze pushed the Pangu towards the cruiser Cuba, Lin Fei raised his head and measured the distance with the proportional method, 1,800 meters, the heart is still early, you can wait.

One thousand meters, Ma Chengfeng said: "Captain, the cruiser has sent another message, let us drop anchor and stop the ship, and don't move forward!" ”

Lin Fei thought for a moment and said, "It's better to leave him alone." ”

Soon there were only eight hundred meters left, and Ma Chengfeng said loudly: "Captain, the cruiser has issued a warning, if we don't stop the boat, they will shoot at us!" ”

Lin Fei gritted his teeth and thought, "No matter what, I have to survive these eight hundred meters!" Then he said, "Ignore them!" Keep moving! ”

At this moment, Lin Fei suddenly saw a puff of black smoke spewing out from the tail of the cruiser, and then there was a "bang" sound on the water surface in front of the left side of the bow, and a column of water was raised, and the cruiser opened fire! At the same time, Ma Chengfeng shouted: "Captain, the news from the cruiser says that since our ship refused to carry out their orders, they decided to open artillery and sink us!" ”

Lin Fei's heart moved, and he secretly scolded the Spaniards, we are now fishing boats, and they even have to sink the fishing boats! Lin Fei said loudly: "Leave them alone, there are still the last eight hundred meters, rushing over is victory!" ”

Now the speed of the Pangu is about five knots under the impetus of the sea breeze, and it takes almost six minutes to sail the distance of 800 meters, and in these six minutes, if the Pangu is not sunk, there is still a chance of life!

At this moment, Lin Fei only heard the sound of the whistling wind, and then there was a sound of "bang" behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that there was a big hole in the mainsail, which turned out to be a solid catapult launched by the Spaniards and pierced the mainsail.

Lin Fei shouted loudly: "Don't mess up! Steady! The Pangu continued to break through the waves and sailed towards the cruiser Cuba, at this moment, Lin Fei saw the chimney of the cruiser Cuba spewing black smoke violently, and then moved into the distance, Lin Fei secretly screamed that it was not good, since the cruiser Cuba had anchored, it would definitely not be able to catch up with it with the wind alone.

Lin Fei grabbed the microphone and said, "Lao Yu, start the steam engine, let's catch up!" ”

Yu Xier replied: "Understood! Then he took the sailors to fill the steam engine with coal, the Pangu made a slight vibration, speeding up, at this moment, Lin Fei saw another naval gun aimed at him, the muzzle of the cannon spewed black smoke violently, and soon the hull of the Pangu was shocked, Lin Fei obviously felt that the hull of the ship tilted, and a sailor shouted loudly: "The No. 1 watertight cabin is flooded!" ”

Lin Fei's heart tightened, and he thought: "Except for the keel, the other structures of this whaling ship are all wooden, and it can't carry the cannonballs at all, and now the Spanish cruiser has opened fire on us, with the condition of our hull, how many cannonballs can we withstand the opponent!" If we rush further, we will definitely be sunk by the cruiser! ”

"If you don't rush forward, then you can only retreat, but retreating will not solve the problem on the island, and the cruiser will definitely continue to bombard the ammunition depot! What can I do? ”

Lin Fei was undecided, when he only heard a loud "click" from behind him, and a sailor ran into the cockpit and reported loudly: "Captain, the second mast has been hit!" ”

When Lin Fei heard this, his brows tightened, and Liu Daming said on the side at this time: "Old Lin, hurry up and find a way!" The shells of the Spanish warships are getting more and more accurate, and this Pangu can't help but fight! ”

Lin Fei was silent for a moment, and said to Liu Daming: "Maintain the speed of twelve knots, fill the rudder left, turn around and go back!" ”

Liu Daming understood that Lin Fei was going to retreat, and hurriedly asked, "What about the ammunition depot on the island?" ”

Lin Fei shook his head and said, "At the last moment, I don't have time to explain so much!" If we still have a life, I'll explain it to you. ”

After Lin Fei finished speaking, he grabbed the microphone that was talking to the signal room, and said: "Ma Chengfeng, send a light signal to the ship opposite, saying that we are Katipunan's warship, and we will swear to sink them!" ”

Ma Chengfeng's voice stopped in the microphone and said, "How did Katipunan send it?" I won't! ”

Lin Fei said: "Then you send us a warship to defeat the Spaniards, by the way, greet the ancestors of the Spaniards, in short, let that cruiser come and chase us!" ”

Ma Chengfeng agreed, and Liu Daming said on the side: "I don't understand!" What does it mean that we have to retreat and let them come after us? ”

Lin Fei said: "Lao Liu, I don't have time to explain so much now, you lead the brothers in the cab to prepare the machete and prepare to jump into the gang!" I'll take the helm myself. ”

After Lin Fei finished speaking, he took over the rudder from Liu Daming's hand, and gradually the Pangu turned an angle and began to move in the direction it came, and the Spanish cruiser began to desperately chase after the Pangu after receiving Ma Chengfeng's signal, firing while chasing, the Pangu was hit by several shells in a row, and the hull began to tilt to the port side.

Lin Fei looked at the position of the cruiser behind him and said loudly: "Brothers, I'm going to start acting!" I'm going to stop the ship now, and the cruiser can't stop, it will continue to keep its original speed forward, and at the relative speed of the two ships, when we stop, the cruiser will rush to our side, and that's the perfect time for us to jump! ”
