"You can't see how the other side is aiming?" Yang Feng's eyes almost popped out.

"I was an intern in the British Navy when I was in the Qing Dynasty, do you think this little thing can stump me?" Li Guotang said with an arrogant face, this is also true, the Chinese Navy is actually not short of people, and they have been floating at sea for most of their lives, they just don't have warships, and they are not inferior to the Japanese Navy when they are equipped with battleships.

"You should be able to tell me the distance and direction of the other party!" He said, pointing to the screen of his notebook.

Yang Feng nodded.

"Okay, stop the boat and tell me where the guy in the back is." Li Guotang said.

Yang Feng quickly read out the distance and direction of the Japanese warship chasing them, and Li Guotang immediately reported the firing unit to the self-propelled guns on the front and rear decks, this old guy is indeed an old fritter, there is no need to calculate at all, almost after Yang Feng finished speaking, he followed closely after he finished reporting.

Four 152mm howitzers roared at the same time.

"Shoot as fast as you can!" In the tremor of the Marauder, Li Guotang yelled into the microphone.

At this moment, Yang Feng found that on the dark sea in the distance, a fire suddenly lit up, and it was obvious that a cannonball had hit.

The firelight immediately pointed out the enemy's position, and now Yang Feng no longer needed to provide coordinates, Li Guotang kept revising the firing unit while staring at the enemy ship, and the four 152mm howitzers kept pouring shells into the increasingly fierce flames at a rate of dozens of rounds per minute.

"It's a pity that it's all grenades, if there is a piercing bomb, we can even try to sink it, if that happens, it will be the first foreign warship that our Chinese have sunk with a warship." Li Guotang said with a bitter face.

Even so, the other side has already suffered heavy losses. Behind the Marauder was the Japanese Navy light cruiser Tatsuda, whose mission was to drive the Marauder to the ambush circle in front, and now the distance between the two sides was more than fifteen kilometers, so far away that even if it turned on its searchlights, it would not be able to see the Marauder with all the lights turned off.

And that little bit of light when the artillery fires. It was not enough for it to aim, so it could only helplessly carry the falling grenades, and after only two minutes, the entire superstructure of the Longtian, which was extremely lacking in armor protection, had been blown to pieces.

"Set sail and rush over as fast as you can! Don't stop firing artillery, the support group is ready to replenish the shells! Li Guotang ordered, his goal is to use artillery shells to crush the enemy ships behind, and then break through the encirclement from this direction, and the other enemy ships are still more than 20 kilometers away from here. Even if you want to support, it's too late.

The Marauder quickly moved and rushed towards the gap in the southwest corner, and at this time, Yang Feng found that the other five enemy ships on the radar had begun to move, and it was obvious that he had already known that there was an accident on the road and was closing in on this side.

"It's not good, unless we go straight to this guy in the back, at the current rate, we still can't escape the encirclement. In this case, it is inevitable to engage in a head-on exchange of fire, and no matter how much our grenades are hit. It's hard to hurt its guns, but any one of its piercing bombs can cause fatal damage to us! Li Guotang looked at the screen and said with a frown.

"What do you mean?" Yang Feng asked.

"Fight hard, take advantage of our rate of fire, and keep smashing with shells. Smash it so that it doesn't have time to shoot at us, and then it's up to the fate of God! The old fellow gritted his teeth.

"Don't bother, we still have torpedoes!" Yang Feng said with a smile.

"Torpedoes must be approached before they can be used!" Li Guotang said that he didn't know what kind of torpedo Yang Feng was loading, after all, he was not Yang Feng's real cronies.

"Just look! Stop the cannon first, and don't let them aim at us. And then raise the torpedo compartment up! Yang Feng said.

The self-propelled guns that were firing immediately stopped, and the sea returned to pitch black, followed by a slow rise of the torpedo compartment under the foredeck, with triple torpedo tubes pointed at the bow.

The torpedo launch control system was also integrated into the notebook, and Yang Feng quickly adjusted the page to the torpedo launch program, while the shipboard sonar quickly identified six sound sources, and then he locked the target and started the torpedo launch program.

A 533-mm heavy torpedo, quickly ejected from the launch tube, plunged into the sea, and the point of light representing the torpedo on the laptop screen rushed to the target at great speed.

"It's that simple?" Li Guotang watched this scene dumbfounded.

"The torpedo has its own small sonar, and during the voyage the data is transmitted to the launch pad through the back wire, and the launch pad is transmitted here by radio, and then I adjust the torpedo course according to the signal sent back, and then transmit the torpedo back in the same way." Yang Feng said while concentrating on the operation, and after a few minutes, the goods patted Li Guotang on the shoulder and shouted proudly, "Bang!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the fire in the distance tremble violently, and then quickly expanded, and after a while a faint explosion came, needless to say, the torpedo was hitting the target.

"Rush over!" Li Guotang shouted excitedly, the 37-knot high-speed Marauder had already seen its enemy clearly after ten minutes, a battleship nearly 150 meters long, like a dead fish on its side on the sea, burning on its flaming body, and from time to time it made a huge explosion sound, and the hull was full of sailors who had fallen into the water, struggling to get away from their battleship one by one.

"Tenryu-class light cruiser Ryuda!" Li Guotang said with a little excitement.

Yang Feng smiled and looked at the Japanese sailors on the sea.

He won't miss such a good opportunity, and he has any demeanor when he is on fire.

"Double 37 guns! Aim at the enemy in the sea and hit me! The creature yelled viciously, and even ran to the emplacement of a twin 37-gun gun and directed the gunner to shoot at the Japanese sailors on the sea.

The dense shells immediately smashed into the sea like hail, and the Japanese sailors, who were glad to have escaped, were directly beaten into piles of minced meat, but the fish in the sea were cheapened.

"Let's go! If you don't go behind and catch up, you'll be in trouble! Li Guotang was speechless about Yang Feng's bad taste, and hurriedly urged him, Yang Feng reluctantly left the gun position, and the two hurriedly returned to the captain's room and began to study the next direction.

"Now I have to go to Shanghai, but then I have to face a danger. The Japanese Third Fleet, if they set sail now, will be able to block us before dawn. Li Guotang looked at the chart and said.

"I went to Shanghai and immediately sent a telegram to Shanghai Jinyuan, asking Yu Maoren to contact the United States and Britain immediately. The French ambassadors, tell them that I am attacked by the Japanese fleet at sea, and that no matter whose fleet comes to rescue me, I will send him a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, and if something happens to me, then the Yanhuang laboratory will fully cooperate with Germany in the future. Yang Feng said with a cruel smile that such a good opportunity to provoke a conflict must not be missed.

Li Guotang guessed correctly, just as the Marauder turned to Shanghai, the Izumo, the flagship of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet on the Huangpu River, had already set sail. It was accompanied by six destroyers, the Japanese knew very well the speed of the Marauder, the ambush fleet could not catch up with it, according to the speed it would reach Shanghai in the morning, and then it would be troublesome, so it was necessary to sink it before dawn to avenge the sunken Longtian and the hundreds of Japanese sailors who died.

This kind of behavior is so bad that even the sailors who fell into the water attacked. Except for the Imperial Japanese Navy, who is qualified to do such a thing.

The Izumo departed shortly after the port. Yu Maoren in Shanghai was woken up by Jinyuan Company's own telegraph operator late at night, and after understanding the danger Yang Feng encountered, a cold sweat immediately broke out, his luxury villa, and the status of a bigwig in Shanghai, all of which were given by Yang Feng. But he must not be put in any danger.

Yu Maoren, who understood the urgency, immediately ran to the consulates of the three countries, and the consuls of the three countries, who were woken up from their sleep, heard the news, their eyes were red, if the Yanhuang laboratory really cooperated fully with Germany. It was simply a disaster, and the departure of the Izumo had already proved the truth of the matter, and at this time there was nothing left to hesitate, and the entire Huangpu River was immediately in chaos, and all the warships that could be used by the three companies lifted anchor and chased Izumo's ass mightily.

And at this time, Yang Feng was studying with Li Guotang whether he could make Shen Izumo, this guy was famous, and he was rushing to the modern Izumo, and Yang Feng had to do it.

"It's not easy to do, this kind of old armored cruiser is very strong, and it is definitely not comparable to a light cruiser like the Longtian, who cut corners." Li Guotang said with a frown.

"Try it, can't you beat it and still can't run? They won't be able to catch up with the Marauder anyway, and when the fleets of all countries arrive after dawn, we won't have to care about it. Yang Feng said.

He will never let go of the opportunity to get Izumo, the flagship of the Third Fleet, I just don't know if Hasegawa Kiyoshi Hasegawa will be on it, if he dies together, it will be perfect.

Hasegawa Kiyoshi is really on the Izumo, he naturally knows about the Navy's hunting operation, but he never thought that there would be an accident, the Navy used an aircraft carrier, two cruisers, and four destroyers, and it was naturally easy to deal with a yacht, but he didn't expect to be woken up as soon as he fell asleep.

The hunt failed, the Marauder was not unarmed, it had not only heavy artillery, but also torpedoes, and the unsuspecting cruiser Tatsuda, suspected to have been torpedoed and sunk, and now that the Marauders were most likely sailing to Shanghai, the Admiralty had personally given the order that the Third Fleet set sail at once, and it was imperative that the Marauder be sent to the bottom of the sea with its hateful master before dawn.

Hasegawa Kiyoshi is a more cautious general, knowing that the opponent is not easy to deal with, so he immediately became careful, in order to be able to find Yang Feng on the dark sea, he scattered three destroyers out of the river for reconnaissance, once he found the Marauder immediately entangled, and then the Izumo rushed over and sank it with heavy armor cannons, so the two sides almost faced each other.

At the same time that the Japanese destroyer discovered the Marauder through sonar, the Izumo also appeared on Yang Feng's screen, and without the slightest hesitation, the remaining two torpedoes were fired at the same time, and then he and Li Guotang stared intently at the screen, and now the distance between the two sides is more than forty kilometers, even if it is a head-on attack torpedo, it will take more than ten minutes.

"What if the line breaks?" Li Guotang asked cautiously.

"Generally, it will not break, and if it does, then the torpedo will automatically change to acoustic self-guidance." After Yang Feng finished speaking, he looked at Li Guotang, who was shocked, and said with a smile: "Don't look at this thing too mysterious, as far as I know, the Germans are already doing it, but we are just one step faster." ”

As they spoke, the Japanese destroyer that had spotted the Marauder had already rushed over, and at the same time the other two search ships had all turned around, and the Marauder remained on course for fear of torpedo wire breaking. Now it has nowhere to hide, the five Japanese warships behind it are still chasing, if it can't make peace with the Three Nations Fleet that rescued it as soon as possible, then once the Japanese carrier-based aircraft will be dispatched at dawn, then the Marauder will really have nowhere to hide.

Yang Feng didn't think that after he sank the Longtian. The Japanese Navy will also let itself go because of dawn.

At this time, Hasegawa Kiyoshi on the Izumo, unaware that the passage was underwater, and two torpedoes were crashing into his ship at a high speed of fifty knots, and the news of the discovery of the Marauder made him smile confidently, and in his opinion, it was already a fish that had fallen into a net.

"Order the destroyer to speed up, and make sure to entangle the enemy with the reconnaissance ship before the flagship arrives." He said lightly to the staff officer beside him, the straight lieutenant general's uniform and white gloves made him look extremely elegant.

The staff officer bowed. Before he could speak, Hasegawa Kiyoshi felt his feet arch violently, followed by a flash of fire from the explosion, and then with a loud bang, the deck under his feet instantly turned into a tyrannical bull, and threw him up at once, almost at the same time the scorching wave of air pushed countless fragments and slapped him on the chest, and the poor lieutenant general smashed on the bulkhead like a broken bag.

"General. Checkmate! The staff officer was not seriously injured, and he hurriedly crawled to Hasegawa Kiyoshi's side. The commander of the fleet, covered in blood, cried.

Hasegawa Kiyoshi tried to open his eyes, looked at the messy command room in front of him a little dazed, and suddenly came to his senses, he pushed the staff officer, and shouted hoarsely: "Hurry up......"

Before it was finished, there was a loud explosion. The heavy hull of the ship jumped violently, and then fell to the surface of the water in a flash, Hasegawa Kiyoshi spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then closed his eyes and fainted.

The entire Japanese fleet was in complete disarray at once, and inexplicably attacked. The terrible news that the flagship had suffered heavy losses and that the commander of the fleet had been seriously wounded made all the officers and men tremble.

Fortunately, although the commander of the fleet was seriously injured and unconscious, there was someone else who could replace the command, and the chief of staff of the fleet, who replaced Hasegawa Kiyoshi, immediately ordered to leave one destroyer to rescue the crew of the Izumo, and at the same time transfer the commander to this destroyer, and the other two destroyers immediately accelerated, and the task of this trip must be completed.

As for the Izumo, the chief of staff looked at the flagship, which had begun to tilt, and the two huge wounds on the starboard side that were flooding, and said with a sad face: "We will avenge it." ”

At this time, Yang Feng was also in big trouble, this cargo squatted in the torpedo room, looked at the spare torpedo in the box, and shouted at Li Guotang with a sad face: "Lao Li, it's up to you next, I think at least an hour, I can't load a torpedo." ”

This is really his negligence, mainly because he didn't expect to use it so quickly, although this thing has learned torpedo loading, but it is obvious that such a job is difficult to complete alone, and he has not had time to teach his apprentices.

Li Guotang, who was still immersed in the excitement of possibly sinking Izumo, then jumped out, and then went straight to his captain's room, the old guy was about to make Yang Feng stunned, let him take four 152mm howitzers to deal with five warships, isn't it purely for his life!

By this time the sky had turned white, and in the faint light of dawn, the masts of the Japanese warships in the distance could already be faintly seen, and the two sides opened fire on each other without hesitation, and the 127-mm shells on the Japanese destroyers whizzed over the head of the Marauder.

Yang Feng was not interested in loading any more torpedoes, so he held a notebook and acted as an artillery observer beside Li Guotang, because the Japanese destroyers in the distance were facing each other, and four 152 mm guns were against six 127 mm naval guns, although they were grenades, they were not weak against destroyers without armor protection.

Coupled with the precise guidance of the radar, the result was still that the Japanese ship was shot first, but then a 127-mm shell also hit the stern of the Marauder.

The Marauder had accelerated to the limit, like a galloping cheetah, flying towards the gap between the two Japanese destroyers, but at this time two more masts appeared next to the enemy ship.

"!" Yang Feng scolded without hesitation, and the thing was about to go out to activate his life-saving system.

"British warship!" The observers on the mast roared hoarsely, and on the masts of the two warships were the flags of the British Navy.

In the distance, a British cruiser barbarized in front of the Japanese Navy's destroyer Matsukaze, and the muzzles of eight 152-mm naval guns pointed at Matsukaze at the same time.

Another British destroyer was also blocked in front of a Japanese destroyer that had just arrived.

"It's okay, these Brits are pretty fast!" Yang Feng stretched his waist and said proudly, he was tired of tossing this goods all night.

Now he is completely relieved, on his radar, there are more than a dozen warships, are coming at different speeds, even if the Japanese want to kill him again, it is absolutely impossible to fire in front of so many foreign warships, these guys really dare to fight back, his threat is too ruthless! It can be said that it pokes directly into the hearts of Britain and France.

At this time, it was already the beginning of the sunset, and a round of red sun appeared on the sea level, Yang Feng stood on the deck facing the refreshing sea breeze, and opened his arms with an intoxicated face!

Then his face changed!

"Ma, Lao Tzu wants the Japanese to compensate for the loss!" He looked at the hole behind him that had been knocked out by the shell, and roared viciously. (To be continued......)
