130 Gamble for your life
Bi Fang thought about it well, such shallow water, fifty frogmen, if you want to make the Spanish warship unable to find the frogman, unless you make the people on the Spanish warship lose all their senses.
In order not to let people find out, the Pangu ship specially implemented light control, at this time the ship did not even turn on the pilot lights, and the necessary lighting cabin was also equipped with multiple layers of sealing tarpaulin, and the entire Pangu ship was pitch black, but the roar of the Pangu ship's steam engine still exposed its location, and the Spanish warship was rapidly approaching.
Wei Zelong said to Bi Fang at this time: "Captain Bi, what should we do now?" ”
Bi Fang frowned and said, "If you go into the water now, can you find a way to avoid that Spanish warship?" ”
Wei Zelong shook his head without thinking about it, and said, "It's impossible..."
Tang Yinchun said on the side at this time: "Can we sail past the vicinity of that warship and spare it?" ”
Bi Fang shook his head and said: "No, that warship should have discovered us, it was coming at us, if we drove over, the people on it would definitely shoot, once the gunfire reached the mooring, His Majesty's sneak attack plan was all in vain." ”
Tang Yinchun's heart tightened, and said: "We can't advance now, nor can we retreat, what can we do?" ”
When everyone was at a loss, the ship had already approached the position of the Pangu ship more than 800 meters, and it continued to approach, Bi Fang thought for a while and said: "That warship doesn't know our identity, let's not take action first, let's take a static brake, and watch their actions before acting." ”
Wei Zelong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and get the frogman commandos ready for battle." ”
Bi Fang said "yes", Wei Zelong and Tang Yinchun walked out, Bi Fang then picked up the microphone and said: "The whole ship is ready for battle, keep the speed and course unchanged." ”
The Pangu ship and the warship are getting closer and closer, Bi Fang can already see the same thing as the tube cannon in front of the warship by the moonlight, Bi Fang is also a sailor on the Zhiyuan ship, and has seen the small-caliber machine gun on the Zhiyuan ship, so he recognized at a glance that the tube gun is a machine gun and other artillery, this kind of artillery is used to hit small boats on large warships, so it is so easy to fight flying arrow warships.
Bi Fang suddenly saw a flickering light from the warship, which was a message to the Pangu ship, and the chief of communication reported: "Captain, the Spaniards have sent us a message, they told us to change course immediately, otherwise it will attack us." ”
Bi Fang's heart suddenly hung in the air, thinking that if he changed course at this time, the sneak attack plan would be in vain, and if he did not turn around, the opponent would open fire, and the sound of the cannon would inevitably attract the attention of the Spaniards at the anchorage, and the sneak attack plan would still fail at that time.
Bi Fang was in a dilemma, and accidentally saw the whaling cannon on the bow, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, thinking that Captain Lin Fei used the whaling cannon to shoot into the hull of the cruiser Cuba, and then boarded the ship, and finally captured the cruiser Cuba, and the harpoon fired by the whaling cannon is also a big weapon of the Pangu ship, why don't I use it again?
Bi Fang thought as he called over the gun commander Lu Jinhong, who was a sailor recruited from Samar Island and had been on a whaling ship, so Bi Fang asked him to operate the whaling cannon.
Although Lu Jinhong is a sailor, he looks like a literati, because he has read books and knows some mathematics, so he looks polite.
Bi Fang pointed to the Spanish warship on the opposite side and said, "Can you hit it with a harpoon?" ”
Lu Jinhong frowned and said, "It's easy to hit it, but it's hard to make it dumb, our harpoons may not be able to break their artillery." ”
It was really a sentence to wake up the dreamer, and Bi Fang realized that the method of firing harpoons with whaling cannons would not work at all, because firing harpoons could not guarantee that the turning machine gun in the bow of the ship would be damaged, and if it was not broken, the Spaniards would fight back, and the sound of the cannon would alarm the enemy at the anchorage...
You can't use a whaling cannon, so what can you do?
At this time, the Spanish warship is getting closer and closer to the Pangu ship, the speed of the Pangu ship is faster than the Spanish warship, once the Pangu ship and the Spanish warship pass by, the Spanish warship will no longer be able to catch up with the Pangu ship, once this situation happens, the Spanish warship will think that the Pangu ship is an enemy ship that has attacked the anchorage, and will definitely fire a warning shot, as long as the Spanish warship fires, Lin Fei's plan will be over.
Time passed minute by minute, leaving Bi Fang, leaving little time for the frogman commando, Bi Fang thought in his heart, the frogman must not go into the water, there is a danger of being discovered as soon as he gets out of the water, and if he is discovered, he will be used as a live target, so it seems impossible to succeed in the sneak attack, in this case, there is only a return.
Bi Fangyi gritted his teeth, picked up the microphone and said, "Turn around and return." ”
Returning home means that the mission has failed, and all those who heard this were gloomy in their hearts, but they had no choice but to silently swallow the bitter fruit of mission failure, which was Tang Yinchun suddenly rushed into the wheelhouse and said to Bi Fang: "Captain, I have a way, it is better for us to gamble with our lives." ”
Bi Fang hurriedly asked, "What way?" ”
Tang Yinchun said: "Now that the Pangu ship is returning, we will launch when we return to the water, and the potential underwater will not swim after entering the water, so that it will be difficult for them to find us, and the Spanish warship will inevitably worry about the Pangu ship going and returning, so it will definitely follow the Pangu ship until the Pangu ship is far away from the anchorage, so that the Spanish warship will not sail behind us?" If we swim towards the mooring, they won't find us. ”
Bi Fang shook his head and said, "No, this method is too dangerous... What if it doesn't follow the Pangea? Didn't I find out about you? They're armed with cannons, and you're going to die if you find them..."
Tang Yinchun said anxiously: "Now it's time to gamble..."
Bi Fang stomped his foot heavily and said angrily: "What kind of bet? If Your Majesty is here, you won't gamble with your lives, let's go back and come back tomorrow. ”
Tang Yinchun immediately said: "Come back tomorrow?" What if it is found again? Our ship has been coming for two days in a row, how can they not be suspicious? ”
Bi Fang wanted to say more, but Tang Yinchun said without waiting for him to speak: "Captain, it's too late to delay any longer." ”
At this moment, the door of the command room suddenly opened, and the two looked up, only to see Wei Zelong standing at the door expressionlessly, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't argue, I am the supreme commander in this operation, I decide, go into the water..."
Lin Fei had explained in advance that whenever there was a dispute, Wei Zelong would make the final decision, and Bi Fang heard Wei Zelong say this, so it was not easy to persuade him again, so he picked up the microphone and said loudly: "Deck, take a long ladder and send the frogman commando into the water." ”
The "long ladder" is a device designed by Lin Fei to assist the frogman commando team to launch the water, this kind of equipment is a long ladder, which is more than five meters away from the side of the board, and the frogman has to walk to the end of the long ladder and jump into the water when entering the water, and the frogman does not dare to enter the water directly from the side when the Pangu ship is moving, because they may be sucked into the hull by the current at the moment of entering the water, or even rolled into the rapidly rotating propeller.
Wei Zelong held a snorkel in his mouth and a short knife in his waist, ran to the end of the long ladder in a few steps, and jumped into the water from above, the place where they entered the water was on the other side of the Spanish warship, so the people on the Spanish warship would not see anything at all.
Wei Zelong fell into the water with a "plop", and then swam away from the Pangu ship, and then let himself be submerged in the water, not swimming for the time being, so as not to attract the attention of the Spanish warship.
After Wei Zelong entered the water, Tang Yinchun also entered the water, and like Wei Zelong, he swam to a distance and stopped, and soon fifty frogmen jumped into the water, and then stopped in the water, leaving only the breathing tube exposed, and prayed silently in his heart: "Don't let the Spanish warship discover us." ”
The frogmen looked at the fire of the Spanish warship on the water, expecting it to follow the Pangea, only to see the fire of the Spanish warship gradually approaching, and the frogmen could even hear the "snap" of the oars hitting the water...... Wow" sound, and even the laughter of the Spaniards could be heard.
The hearts of the frog people were almost not beating, everyone stared at the fire on the water above their heads, in the fifty nervous eyes, the fire gradually faded away, towards the direction of the Pangu ship, the Spanish warship went to chase the Pangu ship, the frog people won the bet...
When the fire of the Spanish warship slowly disappeared from view, Wei Zelong surfaced and learned two seabird calls, which were the signal to start, and the frogmen followed Wei Zelong and Tang Yinchun, paddling with flippers, and swam towards the distant coast.
There are lights in the mooring place of the Spanish warships, so everyone quickly found the direction, and gradually the distance is closer to more than 2000 meters, and the light pillar of the searchlight appears on the sea, and the Spaniards have installed searchlights in the mooring, these searchlights are to prevent the sneak attack of enemy ships, they can not imagine that there will be frogmen to sneak attack, and there are very few examples of using frogmen to fight in this era.
Before swimming into the range of the searchlight, they floated on the surface of the sea, and when they swam into the range of the searchlight, they dived their heads into the water and relied on the snorkel in their mouths to ventilate, a small snorkel that could not be seen within ten meters, and it was impossible for the Spaniards to see it from a few thousand meters away.
The frogman commandos were like a group of ghosts, quietly approaching the neatly moored warships, and the sentries on the dock didn't know that there was a great danger approaching underwater, and they were still chatting with a smile: "The captain is really damned, he didn't let us sleep at night, and even let us guard here, saying that he was afraid of a sneak attack by the Huaxia Empire, how could the Huaxia Empire sneak attack." ”
"The Huaxia Empire has occupied the entire island of Mindanao under the leadership of the Great Emperor Lin Fei, our Cebu Island must be next, it's better to be careful, Lin Fei is more cunning than the smartest fox, we can't relax our vigilance......"
While the sentries were chatting, Tang Yinchun, who was swimming in the front, approached a Spanish warship, he looked up through the water, and saw a head hanging outside the side of the ship, the owner of this head was obviously sleeping on the side deck, Tang Yinchun's heart moved, and secretly thought that you were the first to die.
