Lin Yuan said: "Don't worry, the fire has not been completely extinguished yet, let's wait and go up again, and in case there are still shells inside that have not exploded, won't it be very dangerous for our people to go up?" ”

Wu Xinghai said: "You can see whether the fire is completely extinguished, but whether the shells have completely exploded, how can you see this?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Let's ask a few captured sailors." Lin Yuan walked to the deck as he spoke, the deck was full of Russian sailors who were shivering from the cold, Lin Yuan came to the deck and immediately said: "Hurry up and take them to the cabin, change them into dry clothes, investigate their positions, and bring the person with the biggest official position to see me." ”

Soon a middle-aged officer was brought to Lin Yuan, and the soldier on the side told Lin Yuan: "He is the gunnery chief of this warship." ”

Lin Yuan nodded, asked the warrior to go and do other things first, and then asked, "What is the name of your warship?" What level is it? When was it installed? ”

The gunnery chief replied: "We are a battleship, named Narva, which was just commissioned this year, and is the first ship of our type. ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "'Narva' is a place name, and there was a battle here in the Northern War between Russia and Sweden. Lin Yuan then asked, "Then why are you chasing that sailboat?" ”

The gunnery chief replied, "I don't know why we are chasing that sailboat, we all do it on the orders of the captain." ”

Lin Yuan then asked, "Didn't you have five warships at the beginning?" Why are you the only ones driving towards us, and the others turning around? ”

The gunnery chief replied: "Because those warships are not our Russian, but Japanese, I don't know what they want to do." ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself in surprise, "What? And the Japanese thing? So he asked, "How did you get together with the Japanese?" ”

The chief gunner replied: "Since the Petropaplovsk military port is frozen, we will temporarily station at the port of Incheon in North Korea, and we often conduct joint training together, and today is the time, but in the middle of the training, a sailing ship suddenly appeared, and the commander of our Japanese-Russian joint fleet ordered to chase the sailing ship, and that's what happened." ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It seems that it is difficult to solve these mysteries from them, and if you want to solve these mysteries, you can only hope to board the battleship and find some valuable clues on it." So Lin Yuan asked the gunner: "How many ammunition depots are there on this warship?" How many were detonated? ”

The gunnery chief replied, "There are two of them, both of them have been detonated." ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It seems that we can go on the ship." After thinking about it, he said, "No, we have to ask if the warship will sink, and if it sinks, won't we be in danger?" He then asked, "Is there any danger that the warship will sink?" ”

The gunner replied: "This type of warship uses ironclad armor like armor, and the ammunition depot and engine room are protected by a thick layer of steel armor, so although the ammunition depot exploded, the hull was not damaged, so the warship is not in danger of sinking." ”

Lin Yuan asked again, "There is no danger of sinking?" Then why did your captain order the ship to be abandoned? ”

The gunnery chief said: "That's the case, when the first wave of your fireballs hit us, the ammunition depot was detonated, and the nearby boiler room was also damaged, but the warship can still walk slowly, we want to escape, but another wave of shells came behind us, causing us a lot of casualties, and the captain gave the order to abandon the ship." ”

Lin Yuan asked, "What about the captain?" ”

The gunnery chief said: "He committed suicide after giving the order to abandon the ship!" ”

Lin Yuan asked the artillery chief to take him down, and then said to Wu Xinghai: "Since this is the case, the marines can go up, and it just so happens that I also want to see the situation of this warship up close, so I will go up with the marines." ”

In order to be able to deal with a variety of situations in the test of the far sea voyage, so the mocking wind ship carried a platoon of marines soldiers, Lin Yuan took the soldiers up to the dinghy, and then started the dinghy, close to the warship that was still burning, at this time, the two dinghy rescued the Russian soldiers who fell into the water, and they were also pouring water on the hull with water guns, and from time to time flames came out from below the deck, Lin Yuan thought: "What materials are used on the Russian warship?" Why hasn't the fire been extinguished for so long? ”

Lin Yuan took advantage of the waiting time to carefully look at the battleship, only to see that it was different from the Russian warships he had seen, he looked above the deck, only to see that the mast had been blown down, the chimney had also been blown up in half, and the shelves of the hoisting dinghy had also turned into charred charcoal.

Lin Yuan also saw that this battleship only had two main turrets, and there were twin guns on them, but unfortunately the barrels had been blown up, and it was difficult to see the size of the caliber, and there were four secondary gun mounts on the side, but the naval guns on it had been blown away.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "These are all injuries caused by cloud burst shells, the armor-piercing blasting bullets used in the first wave of attacks obviously hit it, but they didn't hurt it, could it be that it didn't hit?" Thinking of this, Lin Yuan began to look at the deck superstructure and the side of the ship, and thought: "If the armor-piercing blasting bomb hits, it is impossible that there will be no traces at all, and there will definitely be some potholes and deformations." ”

However, Lin Yuan searched for a long time, but he did not find a single trace of this, and he thought in surprise: "Didn't our shell hit it?" Impossible! Suddenly, Lin Yuan understood that the shell must have hit the other side of the warship, and the current warship was facing him on the port side, if he went around to its starboard side, he might be able to find such traces.

Lin Yuan immediately asked the marines to sail the boat to starboard, and as soon as he turned around, he found that the hull on the side of the ship was full of pitted marks, as well as four huge depressions, Lin Yuan thought in his heart: "These depressions must have been left by the armor-piercing shells, but the charge was not enough, so it did not penetrate its armor, and then the explosives in the shells exploded outside the warship, and those potholes were blown out by shrapnel." ”

Lin Yuan couldn't help but be worried, and thought to himself: "It seems that our existing armor-piercing blasting shells can't effectively kill and injure the enemy's warships at all, and the cloudburst bombs are not lucky enough to detonate the ammunition depot on the enemy's warships every time, we must find ways to improve the equipment and increase the lethality!" ”

Lin Yuan was thinking about it, and suddenly received a notice: "The Zhongrui ship has rushed over!" Lin Yuan was happy when he heard this, because the Zhongrui ship was equipped with high-pressure water cannons and high-power water pumps, which could carry hundreds of times the amount of water that the two small boats could handle, and with it participating in extinguishing the fire, the efficiency would be much higher.

The Zhongrui ship soon arrived, and began to extinguish the fire with the high-pressure water cannon on it, and it was like covering a water curtain on the Russian warship, and after ten minutes, there was no fire on the warship, Lin Yuan waved his hand and said to the soldiers of the Marine Corps: "Get on board!" ”

The soldiers took out the gangplank and built a bridge between the dinghy and the warship, Lin Yuan walked over with the soldiers, and when they arrived at the warship on the opposite side, they saw that the deck was full of water, and a charred corpse was twisted and soaked in the water, Lin Yuan said to the soldiers: "Leave a few people to follow me, and the rest go to the hook." ”
