1543 catamaran reconnaissance ship

Liu Bin, commander of the reconnaissance fleet, was not worried when he heard the news of the approach of the Japanese warships, because their reconnaissance fleet was equipped with high-speed catamarans, and the catamarans had two hulls, which were very fast, and the speed of the catamaran reconnaissance ships used by the reconnaissance fleet was as high as 55 knots, while the snow-blowing ships on the opposite side were only 30 knots, and such a speed could not catch up with the catamaran reconnaissance ships in any case.

Liu Bin then said to his subordinates: "Don't panic, let him come when it comes, we just take some clear photos at close range." ”

So the reconnaissance ship continued to use the infrared camera system to record the pictures of the Japanese warship, and at the same time, the radar receiving system on the reconnaissance ship was also turned on to receive the electromagnetic wave signals leaked by the Japanese army.

The snow blowing ship is getting closer and closer to the reconnaissance fleet, and the Nine Ghost Kuroki didn't know that this fleet was the reconnaissance fleet of Lin Yuan's troops, and he thought they were just ordinary fishing boats, so the Nine Ghost Kuroki broadcast in clear code: "The opposite fleet, please slow down the ship and accept our inspection." ”

Liu Bin smiled and said, "Friend, we are the ships of the British Empire, you check us, it's not good." ”

The Nine Demons Kuroki didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "I am also acting on orders, and these words of yours need to be said to our fleet commander." ”

Liu Bin thought to himself: "There are a lot of military equipment on the ship, and you can't let the little devil check it anyway!" So Liu Bin said: "Don't check us, if you don't like us to follow, let's change the route." ”

After Liu Bin finished speaking, he asked the operator: "How was the photo taken?" ”

The operator said, "It's almost done, come and see?" ”

Liu Bin walked to the front of the computer screen to take a look, only to see that it clearly showed the appearance of the Japanese warship, at this moment, the two pieces of tarpaulin-shaped things on the warship attracted Liu Bin's attention, the two tarpaulin-shaped things are located on the port side of the warship, one in the bow and one in the stern, Liu Bin pointed to the tarpaulin and said, "What is that?" ”

The operator shook his head and said, "I don't know, that position, maybe it's the secondary gun turret." ”

Liu Bin pointed to other turrets and said: "If you look at other secondary turrets, there are only cannon barrels covered with tarpaulin, but this one is all covered, how can it be a turret?" ”

The operator shook his head and said, "I don't know what it is." ”

Liu Bin asked, "Are there any other warships?" ”

The operator typed a few commands on the keyboard, called up several other pictures, and said: "These are pictures of other warships, we just took them, and each warship has this thing on it." ”

Liu Bin said: "That's strange, what is this thing?" He thought for a while and said: "After all, the clarity of infrared images is not as good as that of visible images, is there a way to hit a light and then take a visible light image." ”

The operator smiled: "Commander, then the Japanese warships will definitely fire at us." ”

Liu Bin said: "You are right. At this moment, I suddenly heard the voice of the commander of the Japanese warship over the communicator: "British fleet, please leave quickly, we will not check." ”

It turned out that the Nine Demons Kuroki was also worried that it would take too long to check Lang Fei, so he reported to Togo Heihachiro, and Togo Heihachiro was not willing to delay more work for the ten small fishing boats, so he agreed, and the Nine Demons Kuroki sent out this news.

Liu Bin thought to himself: "I don't know what is covered under this mysterious tarpaulin?" Could it be the secret weapon of the Japanese army? I should have investigated what it was, and if I could scout it with visible light, the clarity would be doubled, and I might know what was under the tarpaulin. ”

Thinking of this, Liu Bin said: "How far can our searchlight hit?" ”

The operator said, "It's not about four nautical miles, right?" ”

Liu Bin said: "Okay, let's turn around and sail towards the Japanese warship, turn on the searchlight when we are four nautical miles away, and take a few pictures of the mysterious tarpaulin." ”

When the operator heard this, he stuck out his tongue and said, "Commander, you have to think clearly, if you get too close to the Japanese warship, they will see that our ship is a catamaran, how can any fishing boat be made into a catamaran?" The Japanese must know that we are lying to them, and they will definitely come to attack us! ”

Liu Bin smiled and said, "Attack us? You don't look at the appearance of this Japanese warship, there are not many large-caliber guns at all, don't worry, they can't hit us, and our speed of 55 knots is not blown out! In this way, immediately give an order, let the other ships withdraw first, our ships rush over, and then give a good photo of the Japanese warship! ”

After Liu Bin finished speaking, a soldier passed the order, and the other catamarans turned around one after another and sailed in the other direction, and Liu Bin immediately ordered to slow down and approach the enemy warship.

The reason why Liu Bin gave the order to slow down was because he was worried that the speed would be too fast and it would crash into the Japanese warship, and once the warship weighing nearly 1,000 tons hit the Japanese warship, the damage caused would be much worse than being shelled!

The catamaran reconnaissance ship headed towards the Japanese warship, and the Nine Demons Kuroki was stunned when he saw it coming, and thought, "This is really strange, why are they coming towards us?" Are they going to attack us? The Nine Ghost Kuroki immediately shouted in the communicator: "British fishing boat, don't get any closer, if you get any closer, we'll open fire!" ”

Liu Bin didn't pay attention to the Nine Ghost Black Wood, but asked, "What's the distance?" ”

The operator replied: "Four nautical miles!" ”

Liu Bin said: "Very good, turn on the searchlight immediately!" The operator immediately turned on the searchlight, and the power of the searchlight was very strong, so it took a certain amount of time to turn on when it was turned on, and this time was half a minute, and half a minute later, a bright pillar of light shone on the Japanese warship, illuminating the Japanese warship to the fullest.

Liu Bin immediately said: "Hurry up and shoot, take advantage of now!" After a while, the operator said, "Shoot, sixteen!" ”

Liu Bin nodded again and again, and said, "That's good, let's quickly retreat, the left full rudder, and move forward four!" ”

The catamaran turned on the sea, and the nine ghosts Kuroki also saw that something was wrong, the catamaran had already appeared, so he recognized the boat in front of him as a catamaran at a glance, and he thought to himself: "How can there be a catamaran type for fishing boats!" Needless to say, this ship must be the military ship of Lin Yuan's troops! So he commanded in a loud voice: "Hurry up and chase!" Prepare for each gun position! ”

The gunners immediately went to the various running positions, but unfortunately it was too late, they had just taken down the tarpaulin on the turret, and the catamaran reconnaissance ship of Lin Yuan's troops sailed into the night, and the nine ghosts Kuroki then sent a message to Togo Heihachiro: "General Dongxiang, we found out that those boats are not fishing boats at all, they are all catamarans, they must be the warships of Lin Yuan's troops!" ”
