Chapter Forty-Seven: The Furious Waves of the Sea
Rain-like shells hit the sea, stirring up waves of more than ten meters. Xiao Wanlong's lifeboat is like a fine dust in the sea, tossed around at will by huge waves. Within a few minutes, the dinghys were all blown to pieces, and the sea was full of rotten logs floating in the wind.
This result made Caesar very satisfied, now most of the enemy's big ships are out of control and have become a delicacy on his plate, and the slightly maneuverable lifeboats have also been sunk by him, it can be said that Xiao Wanlong is already exhausted at this time and can only wait for surrender, but Caesar will not give him a chance to surrender, his purpose is to kill all the rebels and eliminate all these rebels. To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself, and Caesar always lived by such a rule. This is the culmination of his many years of experience in the army, and it is also the result of the influence of his bloodthirsty nature.
"Without giving the enemy any respite, keep shooting!" He growled.
"Commander, something seems wrong. Thermal radar detected an unidentified object approaching our fleet. The radar soldier, who had been sitting on the side, suddenly said.
Caesar didn't seem to understand what he meant, and hurriedly asked, "What unknown object?" ”
"Report to the Commander, I don't know, but according to thermal imaging, these things should be alive, they are not fast, but they are already very close to our ship."
"What? That's impossible! weishenme didn't find it just now? Caesar asked.
"Our artillery was too dense just now, and the surrounding heat field was disturbed, so we couldn't accurately detect it." Said the radar soldier.
When Caesar heard this, he was furious. Damn, could it be Xiao Wanlong's way? Impossible, how could such a redneck be fooled by a battle-hardened genius? But it's hard to say, you must not underestimate the enemy and commit a taboo. It is very likely that these heat sources are the special forces sent by Xiao Wanlong, and they must have some purpose in approaching them, could it be... Damn it. If that's the case, it's troublesome.
He pondered in his heart for a few seconds, temporarily suppressed his anger and said to the agents standing beside him: "Pass my order, and all ships will immediately turn on the magnetic shield, so as not to let the enemy have a chance!" ”
"Yes!" The agent immediately picked up the communicator and shouted: "Attention all ships, attention to all ships, please raise the protective shield immediately and be ready for battle!" ”
"Wait, tell them not to stop attacking, continue to increase firepower, and quickly sink all the remaining enemy ships!" Caesar added.
The agent nodded. Holding the intercom and repeating his words to the ships.
Now more cannonballs fell on the sea, and they were like the Grim Reaper falling from the sky, constantly harvesting the remaining life.
Xiao Wanlong's command ship is now full of holes, and it will soon be unable to hold on. Several generals scurried back and forth on the deck like ants on a hot pan.
"Marshal, if we continue like this, I'm afraid we will be wiped out. I'm afraid our jihua won't work, right? The generals asked.
Xiao Wanlong was also quite anxious at this time, but he knew that he couldn't show this emotion. Because once the commander loses confidence, his team will lose its position. It's impossible to fight back again.
"Don't panic. Trust those young people, they will definitely complete the task. Xiao Wanlong said loudly.
The young people he spoke of were the ones that were detected on the radar.
These people are all young people born and raised in the original village, the oldest is only seventeen years old, and the youngest is only fourteen years old. They all volunteered to join the rebels, because many of these children had parents who died in the bloody massacre more than a decade earlier, so they were born with a hatred for the Republic. When they heard that Xiao Wanlong was going to revolt and attack the republic, they all raised their hands in favor and joined the rebel army without hesitation.
During the training in Baicheng, Xiao Wanlong found that some of these people were very water-based, so he organized these children into the death squad under his command, hoping that they could play a certain role in the future sea duel.
Today's opportunity for them came, Xiao Wanlong moved all the bombs out of the warehouse. These bombs are small explosive devices developed by the local method. Throw them at the target with manpower and they will explode. The power of this bomb is very limited, but if it is attacked at close range, it may cause some objective damage. This is Xiao Wanlong's jihua, he first lowered his lifeboat to lure the enemy's fire, and then sent a death squad to swim to the enemy with bombs in hand and detonate them at the right distance. This is a very dangerous task, because the safety of the bombs made by Tufa is very poor, although Xiao Wanlong has told the members of the death squad that as long as they throw them at a safe distance, they should not hurt themselves, but this still does not guarantee 100% safety, these bombs are likely to explode before they reach the target location for special reasons, in which case the team members with the bombs in their hands will die.
Xiao Wanlong was reluctant to let these baby soldiers risk their lives from the bottom of his heart, but at this time, it was a critical moment of life and death, even if they didn't take this risk, these people would be buried in the sea with the ship, so they could only give it a go. The children also understand the situation of the rebels now, they are the only hope, as long as they swim under the enemy's ship and detonate the bomb, they may turn defeat into victory! At this moment, the child soldiers had already made up their minds to die.
It's close! It's here! These inexperienced baby soldiers just swam under the ships of the Republic fleet at this time.
"It's time! Throw it away! "The captain of the death squad gave an order, and dozens of bombs were thrown at the ships of the republic together.
However, the bombs exploded in mid-air as if they had touched a wall, leaving the Republic fleet unscathed.
"What's going on?" The child soldiers were dumbfounded. Could it be that the people of the Republic really have witchcraft, and even the ships are invulnerable?
"Damn, try again!" The team shouted and threw the bombs in their hands, but the result was no different from the last time, the enemy ship was already standing there, and there was not even a crack in the hull.
The captain and the team members stared at the big ship in front of them, as if they had nothing to do.
"What to do? Do you want to give up? The team began to gather towards the captain, who was waiting for Zuihou's orders.
The man they called the captain was actually nothing more than a seventeen-year-old boy who was appointed captain of the team because he was the oldest and the most water-oriented. The child's original surname was Shan, and the family used to fish for a living, but then the massacre occurred, his grandparents and father were killed under the butcher's knife of the Republic, and his mother left his hometown with the young man and followed the fleeing party all the way to the original village, where his mother died soon after. He grew up under the care of the village chief and his fellow villagers, and now he is at the feet of the executioner who killed his own relatives, but he is powerless to take revenge, and most of his companions have the same experience as him, what should he do? Really give up? Still is...
He glanced back at the ships behind him, which had been reduced to less than a third by artillery fire, and the enemy's attack had not stopped, and it would not be long before the rebels would be completely wiped out.
It's up to us for now! He secretly made up his mind in his heart, and then turned to his companions: "Do you want to avenge your relatives in your hometown?" ”
"Yes!"
"Are you afraid of death?"
"Don't be afraid!" The earth-shattering roar even drowned out the rumbling cannon fire for a moment.
The captain looked at his teammates and said with relief: "I know that everyone is good, and they are my good brothers!" Now our ship is about to be sunk by these brutes, and there are our good brothers on board, and we can't sit idly by. But the enemy seems to have some means to make our throwing useless, so if the throwing doesn't work, we can only use our own bodies to bring the bomb to the ship! But then..."
"Needless to say, we're willing to do it! Won't you just die? We have long been children without parents, and we can meet our parents when we die, right? The team members said.
"Good! Then let's do it! As soon as the captain waved his hand, hundreds of team members rushed towards the enemy ship with bombs in their arms, and for a while they could only hear countless loud rumbling noises echoing on the sea.
Caesar was sitting in the command ship and felt a noticeable shock.
"What's going on?" He asked.
The radar soldier stared at the screen and said in a panic: "Oh no, those heat sources are all gone, and it is very likely that they detonated a high-energy bomb at the moment of disappearance." ”
"What? That's impossible! Aren't these fools afraid of death? Caesar completely understood Xiao Wanlong's jihua at this moment, it turned out that this rebel leader was really attacking himself with human flesh as a bomb. He had vaguely thought of the bomb just now, but he thought that these so-called death squads just wanted to get close to the ship and drop the bomb, so he ordered the protective shield to be opened. These shields only use magnetic fields to defend ships, and they can only defend against weapons such as artillery shells, but not against the human body, which is made of organic matter. At this moment, Xiao Wanlong's way was really observed, Caesar didn't expect that the soldiers of the rebels were really deadly guys.
"Report! The No. 1, No. 7, No. 9, and No. 11 ships were shot, the No. 8 ship's weapons depot exploded and sank, and the command ships No. 1 to No. 4 were flooded, and I am afraid they can only support it for half an hour! The agents stared at the screen, their voices filled with fear never before.
Caesar panicked, he couldn't figure out what was the point of someone willing to give up their lives in exchange for victory? He really couldn't figure it out, because he forgot that he was a soldier, and that a soldier had other qualities besides fighting, that is, the spirit of sacrifice for others and the belief in peace. He is now just a scum, a dregs eroded by the desire for power, he has forgotten the fundamentals of being a human being, but now it is too late to think about it, his ship is about to sink as much as his ambitions, in the fury of this sea.
