Chapter 181: The Han Tang Group's Counterattack
Military attache Dick immediately picked up the monoculars again and looked at the place where the strange sound was coming from.
Oh, it looks like two strange ships have just come out of the back of a big reef...... But they're also ships?
Neither of them was too big, not as big as our three-masted ship.
They both have two big wheels that are constantly turning.
In the faint morning light, the four big wheels kept stirring the seawater, and the sea surface was covered with white foam......
They all had long chimneys like blacksmiths' stoves, and in the light smoke they puffed out, you could faintly see sparks bursting in all directions......
A lot of people froze...... What is this?
Military attache Dick put down the monoculars, thought for a while, and said loudly: "Ha Luha, this is what they call the big iron ship!" ”
All kinds of rumors about the Great Iron Ship have always been like a shadow in the sun, you can pretend not to see it, or you can deliberately not talk about it, but its legend has always existed, and it has not been mentioned by just one person.
If the pirates really had that big iron ship...... Then they will have to come and recover the city of Geranza...... Then I don't know how big the loss will be...... But as long as it's a ship, even if it's Noah's Ark, it will definitely sink! It's also a matter of common sense.
When everyone heard this, they laughed...... It seems that this will drive away all the darkness.
The military attaché Dick saw that the two strange ships were about sixty-one leagues (a thousand meters), reduced his speed, and slowly turned around to go with them—and suddenly there seemed to be a voice, which was interrupted in the slight sea breeze, and he tried to listen, but it turned out to be several languages that he understood, and his face suddenly changed, and these two little things actually demanded that they all surrender!
How they sounded, and in several languages he could understand—that was out of mind, and with their tiny size, it was bullshit to talk too much—
If you want others to learn to listen, it must be a weight level, or let the other party clearly know this, otherwise no one will listen to you, let alone give advice - the people of Hantang Group really summed this up afterwards.
Military attache Dick said to the old fur seals beside him, "Can you sink them with artillery?" ”
The captain smiled, showed a mouth full of rotten teeth, and said, "Dear commander, you can." But we couldn't hit them! They're too far away from us, too separated, and too small......"
The military attaché, Dick, tried not to look at his teeth, and said seriously: "Then they can't hurt us anything...... Just shoot them off with a shot, or they'll be as annoying as two flies, and we're not afraid to let the people on the docks know we're coming, and nothing can stop us now! But don't let them affect our morale. ”
After the old fur dog said his obedience, he went down to the gun compartment and conveyed the commander's order.
A few gunners loaded a twelve-pounder gun...... Anyway, they all missed...... If you don't use heavy artillery, they are too large in caliber, and it is strange to be troublesome.
When everyone was ready, a gunner quickly opened the gun window and fired a shot in the direction of the two little things, and the captain immediately left the gun compartment, he didn't want to smell the disgusting smell of gunpowder—he had smelled enough in his life.
Halfway through the two little things, the shell fell into the water, causing a big splash......
As if taken aback, the two little ones turned to the left at the same time, and ran away with a crackling slap on the surface of the sea, although I don't know what they were turning the two big wheels on, but the back of their escape was really funny, like two frightened ducks...... Everyone laughed unconsciously......
Military attache Dick howled loudly: "Rush to the docks of Geranza!" Take back the city of Geranza! ”
Under the operation of a dozen sailors, the two main warships suddenly raised the long plywood soft sails that stretched out from the bow of the ship, and took the lead towards the dock...... The rest of the ships followed closely.
The military attaché, Dick, could clearly feel the speed of the ship, and he proudly picked up his monoculars and looked at the city of Geranza. In the brighter and brighter morning light, the city of Geranza became clearer and clearer—it was turning gray on the outside, and if you looked closely, it seemed to have horizontal and vertical lines drawn on it.
Is it a ridiculous totem for pirates? A smile appeared on the lips of the military attache Dick—the more perfect the totem, the more closed the nation—best, they had some perfect sacrificial rituals—
"Then the class with the power to preside over and interpret will defend their power to the death, thus preventing any change—"
Military Attache Dick unconsciously thought of natural philosophy.
The old fur seal captain didn't know what Dick, the military attaché of the Devil's Road, thought, but his eyes were full of worry as he looked at the back of the two little things as they fled.
He had never seen a ship so quick to move, so quick to turn—there was a force he couldn't explain, and it scared him—
Those two little things actually turned around and came back!
The old fur seal's pupils narrowed suddenly, and he noticed that there were quite a few old sailors like him, staring at the two little things, rather than looking at the dock.
It's not that simple!
Everyone on Sail 01 and Sail 02 was happy now - none of them cared about the embarrassment they had just made when they ran away.
What happened to the escape? That means we're quick and agile in turning! They are back now because they saw the impact point of that shell and decided to increase the safe distance from 1,000 to 1,500 meters, which is still a bit dangerous...... This ship is full of people.
There are 40 security team members on each boat, and they are all reorganized according to the ratio of 10 Hantang Group people and 30 Ming security team members, so that there are a total of 80 security team members, and the rest of the security team members are on the ships Zishui and Zichuan 10 nautical miles away.
Since they want to catch the turtles in the urn and catch them all, then the shelves must be stretched larger, and they may be rushing to this side now.
Two hours ago, under the observation of the infrared telescope imaged by the photocell of the Hantang Group, they identified the visitor from the flag fluttering on the ship. Of course, the people of the Hantang Group will not buy the "infrared" telescopes sold on the streets. Those people with a telescope coated with a red film dared to claim that they could see the distance at night...... A true infrared telescope is not at all the same principle as a telescope.
With a margin of two hours, everything is prepared in an orderly manner.
The Board issued a Yellow Alert. The security team and the Al Qaeda militia are in action
Under the light of the dock lights, under the order of the shining bayonets of the Ming security team, several merchant ships docked on the dock obediently left, and sailed along the coast towards the Anjiang Inland Sea, one of which was reluctant to go, until the Ming security team members got angry and gestured to the ground with a Type 1649 gesture, and the bayonet reflected the seeping light in the light...... There were also more than a dozen security guards in this costume standing on the dock...... They finally reluctantly left......
After the board of directors issued one task after another, several other bases paid attention to security and defense work, and the dock was completely taken over by the base militia organization, and the security team members boarded two sailing ships and the Zishui and Zichuan respectively, and quickly left the dock.
The two sailing ships rowed behind a large reef outside the harbor, and the Zishui and Zichuan went to the open sea to the northwest, and only after hearing the order could they rush back and copy their back path.
At a distance of 1,500 meters, Captain Sima Jianguo was still thinking about playing a recording loudspeaker, but Jiang Tiesheng, the first mate and chief engineer, stopped him and said: "Imperialism is a paper tiger, but if you don't beat him, he won't fall!" If you put on the trumpet again, it will do us no good except to shadow ourselves to death......"
Captain Sima Jianguo thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he didn't let it go, thinking to himself, after we sink a few ships, the effect will definitely be better if we play it again.
In the plan, the people of the Hantang Group had to wait until they reached a kilometer away from the dock before firing the cannon, but looking at their current speed, at most three nautical miles, they would have to wait for half an hour.
The military attaché, Dick, had been keeping an eye on the thirty-six pounder cannons on the walls of the city of Geranza, and he had not seen any sign of the gunners fiddling there......
That's great! The ugly and dirty pirates are not prepared in the slightest, and seeing their high-speed insertion, they have no choice!
He suddenly felt a little quiet on the deck, so he put down his monoculars and looked at the old fur-dog captain...... His face changed slightly......
"What's wrong with you?"
"Mr. Commander, assure God, I have a very bad feeling...... It's not a good feeling than the attack on Macau a long time ago...... That time we lost. ”
"Hehe, can you tell me why you feel bad? We'll be rushing to the dock right away, and now they don't have a single person there, and there's no gunner preparing to open fire, so they're probably all sleeping, right? ”
"I can't tell, there could be an ambush on the shore...... Those two little things, I feel very evil, I can't tell what they are about. ”
"Ha Luha, ambush, they don't have time to say it, even if there is an ambush, we have to rush over! We split up on the docks...... Those two little things......"
Dick, the military attaché, raised his monoculars again, and saw the two little things, turning their bow to the right, and several people lifted something, revealing a pipe that was attached to something, and began to fiddle with it. He clicked on a total of four...... What are they doing? Is that their artillery?
Military Attache Dick smiled sincerely, if this is artillery...... But the smile on his face had not disappeared before it froze...... He saw a flash of fire, and something flew towards their main warship in smoke, that is, in less than four hours, the thing suddenly burrowed into the sea in front of the hull, and exploded with a bang...... Stir up countless waves!
Military attache Dick immediately came to his senses and shouted: "The main battleship counterattacks!" Light warships seize the docks! Don't let those two little things hold us back! ”
Security team members Qin Nan and Deng Pingping looked at the bullet point regretfully, and said with a pout: "The shooting boundary is set low...... It's a pity that a howitzer ......"
The two of them reported the shooting data to the other three groups.
Deng Pingping said: "After getting closer, it is fun to put armor-piercing bullets......
Qin Nan said: "The captain won't let it, we are still 1,500 meters, and it was supposed to be 2,000 meters ......away."
The military attache, Dick, and the men on deck saw it, and perhaps their gunners were not ready, and the two little things were bursting with fire one after another, and one after another the smoke-emitting things flew towards the hull......
