The sea harrier sat on the bow of the boat, looking at the dark sea in the distance, gently wiping the twenty-round repeating barge gun that had just been issued in his hand, and his heart was beating with the slight sound of the motor in the sea breeze as if it had been covered by a thick quilt.

The sound of the motor did not come from the sailboat under its feet, in fact, in order to move in concealment, not to startle the snake, this time it was all three-masted clippers, relying on wind power rather than steam engines.

The sound of a motor like a low duck's throat came from the four large iron hulls that could dive under the sea in front of them, and now the Einsatzgruppen knew that as long as they were there, no matter how big the fleet was, it would be a dish!

All around, a total of sixteen sailing ships were crowded with soldiers who were just as ready as him, except for the six hundred members of the special operation team, the rest were all transferred from there, and it was said that they were soldiers of the fifth division of the Pacific Army, a full thousand.

The Sea Harrier rubbed the gun with the sheepskin intently, because he liked this gun so much, according to the ordnance officer who sent it, it was made by himself after referring to a Mauser pistol of the Germans, and twenty 7.62 mm rounds at a time, which can also be fired in bursts, without having to pull the bolt once like a rifle, it is simply tailor-made for people like him.

If you use a rifle, you must hold the gun in both hands, and when you encounter a novice with unstable feet, you may not be able to hit a pig in front of him, but this kind of pistol solves this problem, holding the gun in one hand, and the other hand can hold the body to ensure balance, and there is no need for a bolt, twenty bullets are fired in a row like splashing water, it is too powerful.

Therefore, after the ordnance officer sent at the beginning introduced everyone to everyone, almost everyone chose this barge gun, and after a few days of testing the gun, they couldn't put it down.

In the end, he relied on Sanniang's relationship, and he occupied two by himself, and he was so happy that he even slept with a gun these days. But after a few days of happiness, he suddenly received an order to set off to help the Luzon rebels in Medan.

If it was in the past, no matter how much trouble he Luzon's rebel army was, it didn't matter about the water village, but now it is different, although it has not yet been incorporated into the official Pacific Army, but who in the village does not know the identity of the Nanyang Special Task Force now, and when they finish fighting and march into the South Seas, then they will jump from sea bandits to officers and soldiers!

Officers and soldiers!

This is something that everyone who begs for a life in this sea can not imagine, in fact, if it is not forced to be helpless, who is willing to carry his head to do this business, and now he has stepped into the ranks of the official army with one foot, and he does not dare to say that he is glorifying his ancestors, at least he is worry-free about food and clothing, and his family can be better.

And.......

Before the sea harrier could finish thinking, the sound of the motor in his ears suddenly disappeared, and he was so startled that he suddenly stopped wiping the gun, and the sailors and team members behind him also closed their mouths all at once, they all knew that this meant that Port Davao was close at hand!

Suddenly, the fleet was busy, the sailors quickly adjusted the sails, slowed down as much as possible to prepare the submarine in front of them, the soldiers pushed the first bullet into the chamber, and the machine gunner on the bow pulled the bolt and pressed his finger on the trigger.

But when everyone was busy, they didn't forget to look at the black-pressed port, and they knew that in that darkness, there were four steel monsters slowly approaching.

Inside Boat No. 102, the silence of the needle drop could be heard, and the captain stood in front of the chart table, looking at the black-and-white photograph sandwiched on the bulkhead, and the corners of his mouth were a little hideous.

Don Antonio de Uloa, an unprotected cruiser of the second class of the Spanish Far East Fleet, in simple terms, was a wooden-hulled ship with cannons installed.

The sailors, looking at the captain with a red face and a straight thumbs up, after the commander returned to Honolulu to receive the new boat, the captain of No. 102, who took over the command, naturally unceremoniously took this best prey into his arms, although it attracted the contemptuous eyes of several other captains, but the sailors don't care so much, who let our boss be the acting commander, the fattest piece of meat must of course be kept for himself.

What's more, didn't Commander Qin also like to pick the biggest one at the beginning!

The captain didn't know that he had been praised behind him as unprecedented, but he sighed in his heart when he looked at the cruiser.

Chicken ribs, tasteless!

Indeed, for the Pacific Fleet, which is now equipped with ironclad equipment, the wooden hull is the target, and even if a destroyer is sent, it is estimated that it will not be much worse than this cruiser.

Looking at the photo of the Deuloya, the captain sniffed, although the goal is not enjoyable enough, but what should be done has to be done, not to mention that if you don't choose it, will you choose a more scrap gunboat?

Looking at his watch, the captain turned his head: "Open the drain valve, drain the water tank No. 1 and 2, raise the periscope, let's go up!" ”

The sailors surrounding the side immediately took action, and as the two valves were quickly twisted open, the bubbles were rolling, and the submarine slowly revealed its majesty like a monster lurking at the bottom of the sea.

Due to the short periscope viewing range, the water depth of Port Davao is not suitable for a close-range assault, so this sneak attack needs to be surfaced before it can be carried out.

Since it was already out of the water, there were not too many water droplets after the navigator raised the periscope. The captain immediately leaned over to the lenses and slowly rotated the lens.

It was dark, and although the hull had surfaced, and the periscope could see farther than usual, it was still a little blurry at a distance of only three thousand meters, so he immediately ordered to move on.

The submarine under the work of the battery has almost no other sound except for the sound of the water paddling when the propeller rotates, because the main task of the submarine is a sneak attack, so from the beginning of its formation, it is required to work hard to exercise the means of concealment, plus a training manual made up by Master Li, so even in this era when sonar has not yet appeared, submariners are also very careful to keep the important surname of the sound down.

When there were still two kilometers to go, he faintly saw the largest black shadow in front of him in the faint starlight, and his saliva immediately dripped out, and the outline of the Deuloa finally appeared.

"The torpedo compartment is ready, at a distance of two thousand meters."

"Ready to dive in"

"Send a signal to report 102, 103, and 104 as soon as they lock on to their targets."

As soon as the captain's words fell, the sailors, who had been waiting impatiently, immediately went into action.

"Torpedo insurance lifted!"

A few minutes later, when the signal from the three partner boats was ready, an excited and muffled sound was heard from the torpedo compartment, and the commander of No. 102 immediately gave the order to attack.

With a bang, a black shadow erupted from the torpedo tube on the left side of the bow, which hissed and burned gas and then quickly burrowed into the water.

The mackerel class is still equipped with 433 mm old torpedoes, with a charge of only more than 40 kilograms, but after being reequipped with TNT, the explosion power has increased geometrically, not to mention the wooden cruiser in front of it, even if it pulls the cruiser of the Pacific Fleet over, I am afraid that it will not dare to carry it hard!

It's just that the speed of 28 knots is a bit low, and it takes more than two minutes to hit a target 2,000 meters away, and if the opponent is moving, then it is impossible to complete the task with only one torpedo, but now it can be said that it is completely a live-fire training for a fixed target.

However, in order to ensure the hit, the first torpedo drilled out of the launch tube less than ten seconds later, and the second torpedo also drilled out. Four submarines, two waves of eight torpedoes, like eight javelins with sharp tips, stabbed at the unsuspecting opponent.

"Fill the water and dive to a depth of two meters."

Captain 102 took one last look at the wake and quickly ordered the water to be sunk, not because he was worried that he would be swept away by the waves like last time, but because he was afraid that the fire of the explosion would expose the submarine, after all, the submarine is still one of the core secrets of the fleet.

The hour hand ticked one grid after another, and the sailors all clenched their fists and waited for the hissing of water in the pipes, and all kinds of thoughts came to them, one was afraid that the torpedo would not explode, and the other was afraid that the Spaniards would find out that the secret of the submarine had been exposed.

However, this chaotic thought did not take long before the pointer gradually came to an abrupt end, and eight huge explosions in a row not only made the captains wave their arms fiercely, but even the submariners cheered excitedly.

The captain took a deep breath and immediately pressed his face to the periscope, and the constant rush of water slid down his face to the ground, but that didn't stop him from continuing to observe.

On the other side of the camera, the flames rose into the sky, the long body of the Deuloa was torn in two, on the deck, the figures on the dock were even more busy, and the two gunboats behind were also on fire, and the last one even had its bow raised high, and the tail plunged into the sea, which was only after being hit by a torpedo in the tail, resulting in a large amount of water.

Next, it's time for the bandits and pirates! ――

Rush!

Looking at Davao City, which was awakened by a loud noise, and looked at the lights that suddenly lit up in the darkness, he licked his tongue excitedly and shouted!

The sails that had just been torn off were soon stretched again, and the howling wind lost its smoothness, and the sails were pulled up violently, and the sailboat rushed towards the burning harbor as if it had been whipped severely.

In the distance, the harbor was already in chaos, hundreds of disheveled Spanish soldiers were running around like headless flies, several warships were even on fire, and countless figures screamed for help in the firelight.

The captain of the Deuloa ran out of the barracks, and while he was clothed, he stared blankly at his beloved warship trembling in the sea of fire, and his eyes widened and he did not know what was happening.

Rumble!

The wooden hull suddenly exploded again after a few loud rattling sounds, and the hull was swept away by the blast in the blink of an eye, and countless shrapnel flew up from the bilge, which was the scene after the ammunition depot was set on fire.

The captain looked at the nameplate originally embedded in the bow of the ship in a daze, and smashed it next to his feet, and the originally golden letters on the sign became charred and illegible, and suddenly the anger in his mind soared into the sky. "Damn it, who the hell ......."

Before the captain finished shouting, the scene he saw in the corner of his eye made his whole body suddenly petrified, and after a long time, he slowly raised his arm, pointed to the sea behind the flames, and shouted tremblingly: "Enemy, enemy attack ......." ”

Several soldiers who were rushing around immediately looked at the captain's fingers, and their mouths opened wide, and when they just remembered that they should flee immediately, several long flames suddenly burst out from the rapidly approaching fleet on the sea, and a dense rain of bullets passed through their bodies in the blink of an eye, and the whole person was torn apart.

"Hit! Hit again! ”

The Sea Harrier stood behind the machine gun, jumping on his feet and shouting, and the machine gunners in front of him became more and more excited, and the Maxim machine gun continued to swallow a piece of canvas cartridge belt into it, and spit out dense shell casings.

The monster with 500 rounds per minute became frantic at this moment, and the 7.62mm bullets almost swept towards the docks with fiery red flames, piercing through targets, tearing and rolling until the bodies of the sailors were shattered.

In less than a moment, the unprepared dock was already covered with stumps and broken arms, except for some veterans, the recruits of the Fifth Division who had seen the power of machine guns for the first time were all pale, and they really didn't dare to imagine what it would be like if they encountered this kind of machine gun blockade.

"Prepare the springboard!"

With a shout from the sea harrier, several half-foot-wide planks suddenly stretched out from the sailboat that was gradually approaching the pier, and when the end of the plank fell violently and landed on the pier, the veterans patted the new recruits in a daze and rushed off the boat first.

The not-so-heavy slap suddenly made the recruits all wake up from their fear, and quickly rushed down the sailboat along the gangplank.

The thumping and crisp sound of rifles gradually replaced the sound of machine guns tearing oilcloths, and countless Spanish soldiers who had come back to their senses had just raised their guns when they were chopped to the ground by the rushing soldiers.

Sea Harriers rushed to the front with the members of the Einsatzgruppen, not because of how brave they were, but because these experienced pirates knew better than anyone that if they wanted to fight, they had to chase other people's butts, and they couldn't wait for their opponents to line up and do it.

So they almost chased and beat the ass of the Spanish soldiers who were scurrying around, and the shell guns in their hands happened to be melee weapons, as long as they saw someone who came out and didn't know each other, it was immediately a shuttle bullet, and when the Sea Harrier finally rushed to the naval barracks on the shore with everyone, a few more guys immediately took out a grenade and smashed it into it without saying anything.

"Boom!" The explosion continued to sound from the room, and the smoke and fire were scattered in all directions, choking the sea harrier almost to curse his mother, and only when the smoke gradually cleared, everyone rushed into the crumbling barracks, and found that the Spanish soldiers hiding inside had already been blown up and splashed with blood.

After several assault ships equipped with Makqin machine guns took the lead in unloading their fighters, they immediately turned their sails and swept along the coastline, beating the troops who were still hurrying to support and did not know why.

Just as everyone was desperately trying to clear the remnants of the enemy in the harbor, flames erupted from the distant battery, and the last hope of the Spanish troops stationed in Davao Harbor was extinguished by this burst of flames
