Colonel Ramsay's confidence before departure was completely destroyed, and when he saw the two plumes of smoke that suddenly appeared, he understood that there were two Chinese who had dived to press and drop the bomb. Originally, he wanted to send a dinghy to hunt down the two hateful saboteurs, but when he saw the speeding dinghy on the sea and rescue the divers, he dispelled the idea that there was no way to catch up.

As luck would have it, the sailors spotted the enemy in time, and the Palms were too unlucky. God Protection! I hope they can reach the shore safely, otherwise they will lose half of their troops before the war starts, and how will they fight the next battle? These Chinese are also too strange! With such a fast dinghy, divers who can move underwater for long periods of time, bombs that can be used in the water, and what else can stop them, has God given up on the United Kingdom?

Unfortunately, God may not be at home today, so the Colonel's prayer was not heard. Not long after the two fast cruisers were launched, four more Chinese boats rushed out from the side and approached quickly.

Responsible for the second wave of attacks were four motorized speedboats, commonly known as "Da Fei". There were four crew members on each boat, with two Navy sailors acting as pilots and two Army soldiers acting as attackers. The army soldiers all wore goggles, scarves and orange life jackets, the main shooter carried a 40 bazooka on his shoulder, and the secondary shooter held a riot shield ready to load the warhead at any time, which is very reminiscent of the Somali militia, except that the pickup truck was replaced by a motorboat.

Although the fast cruiser has a fast name, it is about as fast as a turtle compared to a motorboat. Ma Angelica, as the commander, took the lead and personally got on a motorboat to be responsible for on-site command. He had already observed the situation of the two British warships just now, and the one in front had obviously been heavily damaged, and now it was struggling to rush to the shore, apparently trying to run aground. In this way, there is no need to think about it, and when it arrives at the beach, someone will naturally take care of it. Now it is the one behind that needs to be dealt with, and Ma Angelica used the walkie-talkie to give an order to attack the British warship behind with all his might.

Colonel Ramsay saw four Chinese boats rushing straight towards him, and although he did not know what the Chinese were attacking, he ordered the gunners on the ship to be ready, and the army accompanying the ship also took their rifles and stood on the side of the ship, ready to return fire on the Chinese. At the same time, the ship increased its speed and got ahead of the Palm Tree to buy time for the latter to hit the beach.

The four dingries collectively turned a thousand yards away and headed towards the stern of the Cool, which made Ramsey panic, and there was only one cannon in the stern, which was afraid that it would not be easy to deal with the four dinghys. "Quick! Hurry up! Send some more riflemen to the stern! Ramsay drew his command knife and shouted as he led the men towards the stern.

The dinghy did not rush to attack, and began to circle around the Cool, always maintaining a distance of a thousand yards, and looking down from the sky, the motorboat drew circles on the surface of the sea. Ramsey also didn't care about the range of his rifles and the accuracy of his artillery, and ordered his subordinates to shoot freely, whether they could hit or not was not in his range of consideration, as long as he didn't let the dinghy get close to his warship. For a time, the guns on the warship were loud, and the gunsmoke was everywhere, and the shells hit a column of water on the sea, but they were just some distant misses, and it seemed that if you want to hit the target, you have to have the luck of winning the lottery jackpot.

After a few turns, the motorboats crossed and rushed towards the stern of the Cool, each of which was moving in an S-shaped line, and the guns on the Cool had no time to turn their guns, and the British gunners could only watch the spray at the stern in a hurry. "Everyone alternately attack, pay attention to the shelling of enemy ships, machine gun cover!" Ma Angelica gave the order, and the No. 1 boat he was in launched the attack first. A 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun was set up next to the driver, and a sailor began to shoot, using it to suppress the riflemen on the side of the ship, and the co-shooter raised a riot shield in front of Ma Angelica, ready to block the bullets for him at any time, looking like he was ready to fight. Boat No. 1 chased after the stern of the Cool and suddenly cut in from the left, because the British did not know how the motorboat attacked, so they did not strengthen the stern defense much, and there was only one twelve-pounder smoothbore gun in the stern that could be rotated 180 degrees. There were only a few army riflemen, and these army troops were not used to shooting on the shaky deck, and the machine gun fire from the motorboats was so suppressive that they could not poke their heads outboard, let alone shoot, and the sailors could not effectively defend themselves against the sudden rush of motorboats. As for the stern guns, the proximity became a dead end, and the gunners were eager to raise their shells and smash them down on the motorboat.

Boat No. 1 glided past the stern of the Cool at a distance of only 50 meters, and at this moment of only a second or two, Ma Angelica carried 40 bazookas on his shoulder and fired a rocket at the approximate position of the underwater rudder at the stern. The rocket, with a long flame, went straight to the target, and with a "boom-" sound, it stirred up a column of water in the stern of the ship. Boat No. 1 flicked its head away, followed by No. 2, followed by another rocket, followed by No. 3, and finally No. 4, and in less than a minute, all four motorboats had completed their attack. This situation is like a jackal in the African savannah besieging an elephant, and the jackals take turns rushing up to attract the elephant's attention, and then deliver a fatal blow when it is unable to defend itself.

After the four motorboats were separated, Ma Angelica looked back and saw that the Cool was still moving forward as if it was fine. "He's mit, didn't hit!" Ma Angelica scolded, "Come again! The driver was about to accelerate into the field when he was heard shouting, "Wait a minute! Change the way you attack. No. 3 and No. 4 entered first, attacked the aft deck, and killed all the sailors; Our boat and No. 2 then entered and attacked the rudder. ”

"Understood!" The boats then repositioned and attacked again.

After the confrontation just now, Ramsey has understood that China is coming at the rudder. The bomb was planted without success, so this single-use Hale rocket was used instead, "Bastard! If there are more people in the stern, they can no longer be allowed to launch rockets. ”

No. 3 and No. 4 fired rockets again, but unfortunately only one hit the target, and the other missed, flew over the side of the ship and then crashed into the mainmast of the ship's amidships, breaking the waist of the "big pillar" dozens of meters long, and the falling canvas and cable smashed down a group of people, including Colonel Ramsay, and the sudden blow caused chaos on the deck.

As for the rocket, which hit the target, it also achieved good results. When No. 3 and No. 4 rushed over, sailors and infantry were aiming against the ship's gunwales, praying that they would not be hit by the Chinese's rain of bullets. When the British heard about the Chinese's muskets that could shoot continuously, they thought they were hearing a fantasy, but after experiencing it themselves, they knew that they were frogs at the bottom of the well. Some of them tried to shrink down, but the sergeant who oversaw the battle would lift him up, "You coward, get me up!" Hold the gun for me! Aim for me! If I see you retract again, I'll kick your ass. The skiff was getting closer and closer, and the expected bullets did not come, but before everyone could rejoice, two rockets came in front of each other. Almost everyone cursed in their hearts: damn the Chinese devil! Don't take such a bully. Most of them subconsciously retracted into the bulwark, but unfortunately they underestimated the power of the rocket, and the oak planks that could stop the bullets did not protect them this time, and the rocket that hit the target opened a large hole in the middle of the bulwark. Shrapnel, wood chips, and the shock wave of the explosion knocked out a large number of people, killing or injuring several people at the center of the explosion, and two unlucky guys fell headlong into the sea.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the stern, the No. 1 and No. 2 motorboats attacked again, but unfortunately this time it was "his m's, and he missed again!" ”

Just as the two sides were having fun playing "hide and seek", the Palm finally completed its journey and ran aground on the offshore tidal flats. The Cool was unconscious due to Colonel Ramsay's injury, and the first mate took over the command, and the inexperienced young man immediately made a wrong decision: stop the ship and prepare the army for landing, while lowering the dinghy to patrol the stern to protect the rudder from sabotage by the Chinese.

Ma Angelica was going to make a third effort, but when he saw that the Cool began to lower the dinghy, he knew that he had no chance, and those dinghy would not let him launch rockets calmly. I had to regretfully give the order: "All retreat!" He also reported to the command by radio: "The second wave of attacks failed. One of the enemy ships ran aground, the other was not seriously damaged, and it has now been stopped, and the army on board is disembarking in batches, suspected to be preparing for landing. He looked at his surroundings with a telescope again, "The location is one kilometer south of the mouth of the Shenzhen River, please send troops to stop it as soon as possible." ”

Seeing the Chinese's fast skiff turn away, all the British breathed a sigh of relief. Since its establishment, the Royal Navy has fought many defeats, but it is the first time that it has fought so badly and is so poor. Two fast cruisers were so messed up by two divers and four small boats, one was heavily damaged, the other was damaged, and a dozen people were killed and wounded. And it is the Chinese who have always made the West despised, which has made the proud sons of the sea lose face.

After the Palm ran aground, Captain Hunter came to the Cool in a dinghy, his rank was lieutenant colonel, and the first mate of the Cool was only a major, so he took over the command as a matter of course. Because there was no reasonable scheduling, the scene seemed chaotic, most of them acted spontaneously, some sailors repaired the broken hull, some sailors were saving the wounded, some sailors were rowing small boats to keep guard, and most of the army's infantry were preparing to land with their own equipment, and there were people everywhere in the entire tidal flat around the two warships. Hunt took the telescope and looked around, and the most that he saw was the sea and the tidal flats hidden under the water, although the water here is shallow for warships, but not for people. The average depth of the water here is about four feet, almost up to the waist of a person, and because there are so few dinghies, the soldiers have to load their baggage only on the dinghy, and the people are standing in the water and pushing the dinghy forward. The soft sand, the boots that were weighted after soaking in water, and the dozens of pounds of equipment on each of them became the enemies of the army, delaying the soldiers. The tidal flats are a thousand yards from the nearest beach, with thatched grass and swarf trees taller than a man behind them, a river flowing into the bay less than a mile to the north, and a vague coastline further north.

Ronald, the commander of the army, watched his men struggle on the swampy mudflats, and angrily found Hunter. "The army needs more boats, it's too slow now, it's been half an hour, and not a single soldier has landed on the beach, let alone set up a beachhead. I can't imagine it! ”

Hunter shrugged, "I'm sorry and understand your difficulties. But I can't help it, if there are no these boats patrolling the perimeter, God knows when the Chinese will dive over and plant bombs. ”

"I don't care, I just know that my soldiers need to get out of this ghost place as soon as possible, this gang of Chinese is scheming, God knows what else awaits us!" Ronald was dissatisfied with Hunter's attitude and barked at him. "If the Chinese fire now, we will become a living target!"
