1002 Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain
Lin Yuan was thinking of a way, when he heard Wu Xinghai say on the side: "Captain, the sea has begun to fog, although it is not very big, but it will also affect the light communication, and we can't use the radio to communicate with the other party's warship, so it is inevitable that there will be misunderstandings, once the gun goes off, it will not be good, we have to hurry up and find a way!" ”
The word "hurry" appeared in Lin Yuan's mind, like a lightning bolt in the vast dark night, instantly illuminating the entire sky, Lin Yuan said: "I have thought of a way!" ”
Lin Yuan said and walked quickly to the sand table in the command room, put a few small blue flags on them, and then pointed with his hand and said, "These represent the British transport team." After speaking, he picked up a small red flag and placed it diagonally behind the blue flag, picked up a small white flag and placed it in front of the small red flag, pointed to the sand table and said: "Look, the red flag is us, and the white flag is the enemy ship." ”
"Now the speed of the transport fleet is eight knots, heading southwest, our speed has just dropped to fifteen knots, and the enemy ships are also at this speed, our biggest problem now is: there are majestic ships to escort the transport ships, so we dare not attack the transport ships, so what we have to do is: transfer the majestic ships, and after luring them out of a large distance, we will turn back, increase our speed to the maximum, throw off the majestic ships far away, and then catch up with the transport fleet!"
Lin Yuan picked up the small red flag as he spoke, waved it in the northeast direction, and said: "We immediately turn the course to the northeast and lure them to catch up, we will travel at a speed of fifteen knots for an hour, and after an hour, we and the transport fleet will be twenty-three nautical miles apart, everyone look at the fog on the sea, after an hour, the visibility will definitely drop below ten nautical miles, and it is impossible for the majestic ship to see the transport fleet anyway!" ”
"Then we took advantage of the Mocker's super maneuverability, quickly turned around, and chased the convoy at a high speed of thirty-two knots! It takes less than an hour to catch up with them, and it takes more than three hours for the Majesty to catch up with the convoy, so we will have a period of time to face the convoy alone, and this time will reach three hours! Three hours, with our strength, is enough to force the opponent's transport fleet to submit! ”
Lin Yuan's strategy was very ingenious, but none of Wu Xinghai and the staff officers nodded, and they all frowned, Wu Xinghai said: "Captain, you are a trick to divert the tiger from the mountain!" But the most critical question is: the majestic ship is not stupid, will he follow us to the northeast? If they don't chase it, won't this plan be useless? ”
Lin Yuan said with a smile: "It's up to people, let's find a way to let them chase us!" ”
Wu Xinghai asked suspiciously, "Is there a way to let them chase us?" ”
Lin Yuan said with a smile: "I have dealt with the British a lot, and I have met with people in the navy in the UK, and I feel that they are very arrogant and look down on the Chinese, so as long as we provoke them, they will definitely not give up." ”
Everyone was still confused, and they asked, "Provocation? How are we going to provoke? ”
Lin Yuan said: "Call the person in charge of the battle damage control company, and I will take him personally." ”
Soon the company commander came, Lin Yuan took the company commander to the deck, Lin Yuan pointed to a fire water gun on the side and said, "Take it down." ”
In war, the enemy's weapons often have a high temperature effect, so the fire water gun used for water spray is indispensable, the company commander took the soldier down the fire water gun and asked: "Captain, what to do with the water gun?" ”
Lin Yuan pointed to the majestic ship in the distance opposite with his hand, and said: "You wait for my order, I give the order, you will spray water at them, remember, adjust the power to the maximum, or you won't be able to shoot them." ”
After Lin Yuan finished preparations, he returned to the command room and said to Wu Xinghai: "Let's get close to them and shout to them directly through the loudspeaker!" ”
The mocking wind ship turned slightly and leaned towards the majestic ship, the majestic ship was worried about a collision accident, so it changed its course and dodged to the side, and soon the mocking wind ship was only more than a hundred meters away from the majestic ship, Lin Yuan turned on the speaker and said loudly: "I'm Lin Yuan, the majestic ship listens, this is China's territorial waters, we have the right to investigate the ships in the territorial waters, your ship leaves quickly!" ”
After Lin Yuan finished shouting, he heard a voice coming back from the majestic ship opposite: "I'm the captain of the majestic ship, John?" Nelson, I solemnly warn you that we are the Navy of the British Empire, and we have no reason to obey you Chinese Navy! ”
When Lin Yuan heard this, he raised his head and looked at the warship opposite, only to see that the turret was still covered with tarpaulin, and it was not lifted, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It seems that they don't have the intention of opening the muzzle of the gun to fight, so I will have to inch in a little more." ”
Lin Yuan immediately said: "Nelson, I advise you, hurry up and take your majestic ship back to England, don't spread wild on the territory of the Chinese!" ”
Nelson heard Lin Yuan's unkind tone, and his heart suddenly became angry, but after all, he was the captain of the ship, and he needed to take care of his identity, so it was impossible to scold Lin Yuan in front of the whole ship in the loudspeaker, on the contrary: Although Lin Yuan's words were vulgar, they made the soldiers on the ship feel relieved!
Although Nelson was angry, he didn't know what to say, and at this moment, he heard Lin Yuan say: "If you don't get out of here quickly, we will attack!" ”
Nelson was also moved when he heard the attack, and he had also heard about the Chinese warships killing the Russian fleet, although he looked down on the Russian fleet, and thought that the people who defeated them were nothing remarkable, but today he was still surprised to see the mocking wind, because this warship was very different from all the warships he had ever seen: the beautiful shape, the strange ball-shaped cover on the mast, there was nothing that was not mysterious.
Nelson couldn't help but think, "They're going to attack us? How to attack? Is it a cannon shot? Lin Yuan said a few days ago that he would abolish consular jurisdiction, and now he is going to provoke a war? ”
Lin Yuan saw that Nelson didn't react for a long time, so he came to the deck from the command room and said to the commander of the battle damage control company: "Are you ready?" ”
The company commander pointed to the indicator sign of the water cannon and the maximum water spray power that had been set up in front of him, and said, "Ready!" ”
Lin Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Very good, spray the water over immediately!" As soon as the two pressed the launch switch, suddenly a water dragon pounced from the mocking wind ship to the majestic ship, and the water column hit the majestic ship, as if it was raining heavily above it, Lin Yuan raised the telescope and saw many sailors on the majestic ship standing on the deck, pointing at the mocking wind ship, and their lips moved vigorously.
Lin Yuan laughed secretly in his heart: "You guys are scolding us, it's okay, you can scold casually, I can't hear it anyway!" Lin Yuan looked at the water column at this time, and found that the water dispersed when it reached the sky above the majestic ship, falling like rain, and the water column could not hit the enemy like a heavy punch!
Lin Yuan immediately ordered the Mocking Wind Ship: "Get closer to the Majestic Ship." The Mocking Wind Ship obeyed the order and moved closer to the Majestic Ship, Lin Yuan pointed to the two sailors on the machine gun position on the deck and said, "Do you see those two guys?" I adjusted the muzzle and aimed at me! ”
The soldier who operated the water gun asked, "Lin Shuai, how can this water gun be aimed?" ”
Lin Yuan smiled helplessly: "Do you think you are shooting a sniper rifle?" Do you want to hit with one shot? Your water gun can 'fire' continuously, probably aim in a direction, see where it hits, and then adjust it to the person, right? ”
