Lin Yuan explained: "If you ignore him, he must think that you didn't receive the news, or for some other reason, and he will definitely not think that you are deliberately inducing them to deviate, they can only find the reason from themselves, so you don't need to ignore him, just drive your own boat."

Deng Shichang listened to Lin Yuan's words, so he ordered his subordinates to ignore the lights of the icebreaker, plan according to the plan, and continue to walk. The signalman on the icebreaker sent the signal three times in succession, but the ship in front ignored him, and he had to return to report to the navigator: "The ship in front did not send back the signal. ”

The navigator couldn't help but be angry: "These guys! I must have gone to sleep again, and tomorrow I have to sue them at the commander!" ”

The helmsman said, "So how do we go?" ”

The navigator had no power to decide such a thing, so he called the captain Ivan Belikov, who thought for a moment and said: "Just follow the ship in front, even if something goes wrong, it is the fault of the ship in front, and it has nothing to do with us." Belikov instructed the first mate in charge of keeping the logbook, saying: "Keep a good record of this deviation, especially the position of our ship's magnetic compass, and if the time comes, we will have evidence of abscurity." ”

So the icebreaker was taken farther and farther away by the Zhongrui ship, slowly broke away from the Russian fleet, and headed northeast, while the signal crew on the Russian ship was busy changing the signal lights, and did not realize that the icebreaker behind it was gone.

Since the Zhongrui took the icebreaker and the Russian fleet in the opposite direction, and the icebreaker and the Russian warship were sailing at a speed of eight knots, overnight, the icebreaker was actually taken away from the Russian fleet by 120 nautical miles!

It wasn't until the next day, January 31, when the bright sun on the sea dispelled the fog, that the icebreaker suddenly found that the mighty fleet was gone, and the ship in front of him had never been seen before!

At this time, Lin Yuan also came to the Zhongrui ship and personally commanded the actions below, Deng Shichang asked Lin Yuan: "What should we do now?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Get close to the icebreaker, and then start shouting!" Let them drop anchor and let us board the ship! ”

The Zhongrui ship recently installed a large megaphone on the Beijing ship, and the voice was very loud, and soon the voice in Russian spread throughout the sea: "Icebreaker, listen, we are Chinese troops!" You've been surrounded by us, drop anchor and let us board the ship! ”

On the icebreaker, when the first mate heard these words, he was so frightened that he hurriedly asked the captain: "What should we do?" ”

Captain Belikov is from an aristocratic background, attended the Moscow Naval School, and has been trained in officialdom for many years, although he has become sleek and worldly, but when facing the Chinese, he still inspires a sense of arrogance, and he calmly said: "Don't worry, I have a way!" ”

So Belikov ordered the standard-bearers and sent the message: the depth of the ocean here is too great, exceeding the length of the anchor chain of our ship, so it is impossible to anchor!

When Lin Yuan saw the news, he sneered in his heart, and thought, "The Russians are playing with me!" The echo sounder of our Beijing ship shows that the water depth in this sea area is only 300 meters, and your anchor chain does not even have 300 meters, who are you fooling! ”

Lin Yuan then ordered his subordinates to use a megaphone to send a message: "Please quickly tell you the length of the anchor chain, and we will find an anchor location for you." ”

After sending the order, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "I don't know what tricks the Russians have, can they tell us that he can escape if he can't break anchor?" Surely not, he is much slower than us! ”

It turned out that Belikov wanted to use the tactics of hitting the ship, the displacement of the icebreaker was in the order of 10,000 tons, and the bow was also equipped with thick steel armor, and the displacement of the Zhongrui was only a little more than 5,000 tons, so Belikov thought that he could sink the Zhongrui.

Belikov thought of this method for a more important reason, that is, the acceleration performance of the icebreaker is very good, the distance between the two sides is relatively close, Belikov used a delaying tactic, so he thought that the Chinese would not be defenseless, he looked at the Zhongrui ship and sneered incessantly, thinking: "You are in a catastrophe!" ”

Belikov then ordered, go at full speed, ram and sink the Chinese warship! The icebreaker cleaved and slashed, getting closer and closer to the Zhongrui, and Belikov, thinking that the impact was about to be successful, ordered his subordinates to cling to the protrusions on the bulkheads! At this critical moment, the Chinese warship in front of it accelerated lightly and avoided the impact.

It turned out that when Lin Yuan saw the icebreaker heading towards the Zhongrui, he guessed that the Russians were going to use the collision tactic, and hurriedly ordered the Zhongrui to accelerate, and the Zhongrui had better acceleration performance, so he dodged the collision.

Seeing that the impact was unsuccessful, Belikov gritted his teeth and ordered: "Throw all the coal into the furnace and turn it at full speed, and you must sink their ship." ”

The icebreaker slammed into the Zhongrui ship with great momentum, and Lin Yuan gave an unhurried order: We also speed up, and we don't believe that he can hit us.

Chen Fei said on the side: "Look at this icebreaker, it looks like a mad dog, we can't shoot him yet, how should we board their ship?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Don't worry, there will always be a day when mad dogs can't run!" ”

Chen Fei looked at Lin Yuan blankly, Lin Yuan looked at Chen Fei and smiled: "Do you remember when I asked you to teach the soldiers of the army to sing Russian folk songs?" ”

Chen Fei nodded and said, "Of course I remember, I still remember that song!" ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "You go to the megaphone and sing them Russian folk songs!" We're so angry with them! ”

When Chen Fei heard this, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed and said, "This idea is interesting! ”

Lin Yuan walked to the console of the megaphone, picked up the microphone, and said in Russian: "Dear fans, how are you?" Now we have our famous singer, Chen Feilovsky, to sing the Russian folk song: The little blue pigeon is moaning! ”

Chen Fei's hoarse voice soon came from the sea, his voice was not good, the tune was not accurate, the Russian pronunciation was not quite right, and the Russian soldiers on the icebreaker couldn't laugh or cry! Belikov was so angry that his whole body trembled, this is the battlefield, but the Chinese did not take the battlefield seriously at all, but sang a mess of Russian folk songs here!

Belikov roared angrily: "The Chinese do not regard us as opponents at all, they do not respect us at all!" What do they think of us! ”

But his roar was interrupted by the arrival of the stoker, who said cautiously: "Captain, there is no coal on our ship!" ”

Belikov roared: "You just throw clothes, quilts, and everything that can be burned in and burn them, and if you don't sink this ship, I'm the one who raised it!" ”

But where can the burning energy of clothes and quilts be compared to coal, even if all the Russian soldiers strip naked, the icebreaker still can't hit the Zhongrui, and what makes Belikov even more angry is: The disgusting singing on the sea has never stopped! Finally, the icebreaker, which had run out of coal, gradually slowed down.

Lin Yuan saw the icebreaker slowly slowing down, and shouted in the megaphone, "Aren't you anchored yet?" ”

Belikov had no choice but to order anchor, the Zhongrui ship quickly approached it, the freeboard of the two ships was about the same height, so the Zhongrui ship set up a springboard, Chen Fei was just about to lead a group of soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition to rush over, Lin Yuan stopped them, and said with a smile: "** Zi will not give up, and look at my clever plan!" ”
