Alchemy Greater China

At this moment, cheers erupted from the British and American sailors: the third LT torpedo was even shorter-lived, and it was accurately hit by a machine gun before it entered the 300-meter range of the Gogol.

"That's right, we still have three battleships with dozens of cannons!"

With the shaking of the battleship under his feet, the ray of vengeance flickered in Fremantle's eyes: "Just force it out, it's just a small submarine, and we can surround it to death! Wait another two minutes, just make sure If there is really only one such submarine, we can act!"

Fremantle thought it very clearly, and no longer considered the matter of retreating, but made up his mind to dig out the "insidious" submarine of the Earl of the North Sea from the bottom of the sea, and blast it to pieces with shells. , to dispel the hatred in my heart.

"Why wait for that one or two minutes, you can act now!"

Benson snorted coldly, and looked at Zhenshi, which was 700 to [-] meters away: "Those yellow-skinned pigs are very proud, hehe, don't they think our long-range artillery is just for display, and won't hit them? "

"Yes, the rapid-fire guns and the main guns don't conflict, let's shell the Zhenshi now!"

Fremantle slapped the railing, and said murderously: "I want to see, when the armored cruiser is sunk by us, will the Earl of Beihai still hide in the water?"

Just do it, the semaphore quickly passed the orders of the two supreme commanders to the Quaid Xia Leyan and the Moder Double, asking the two battleships to stop watching the show and prepare for long-range bombardment.

As soon as the order was issued, the two auxiliary ships woke up like a dream, and the turrets on the deck began to rotate, and the scary thick nozzles pointed directly at the Zhenshi!

The two single-mounted 12-inch main guns were immediately in place, and they were loaded and fired in one go.I saw the base of the turret shook suddenly, the flames flickered, the sound was like thunder, and four 12-inch shells were fired almost simultaneously.

The shell flew across the sky, and before anyone could react, it landed within 50 meters of Zhenshi.

Four huge seawater pillars.It soared into the sky, as if the gods were angry, and descended the Jiuxiao Waterfall. The water mist covered the sky and seemed to swallow the Zhenshi Hao in one mouthful!

The crew on the Zhenshi was not well-prepared, the joy on their faces stopped abruptly and was replaced by panic and astonishment on their faces, as if they didn't expect that the Benson fleet had the leisure to fire artillery while dealing with the LT torpedo.

These four cannons.The firepower superiority of the battleships was fully demonstrated, and Admiral Longlin realized that the three battleships on the opposite side were not sheep to be slaughtered, but tigers with the power to fight back!

Major General Miller, who had been in a state of silence on the deck, twitched his face muscles, and finally spoke: "The main gun is firing! It's over, they still think of the main gun firing! I told you not to escape, and told you to watch the fun, now it's all right. As long as we hit one shell like that, we will end up exactly like those three boats!"

Gao Tianyang's eyes were serious.But the expression still looked very relaxed: "What are you afraid of, major general, you are even more courageous than an elk! The distance between us is so far, it is not so easy for Benson to hit us, look. The four shots just now are not enough. Did it fail? I want to see if they hit the torpedo first, or we hit the shell first!"

This is an obvious bet against each other, and it is a senseless vindictiveness!

Major General Miller was about to go crazy. He shouted with his cramped mouth: "We must have been shot first. Are you blind and didn't see that several torpedoes in a row were dealt with by Gogol's machine guns?" Is it? If we don’t withdraw, we will stay where we are and wait for death!”

Miller couldn't understand the stubbornness of these Chinese people: Is it so interesting to witness the sinking of a battleship?If you want to watch a movie, you have to take your life into consideration, you bastard!

It is understandable for Miller not to understand, but Gao Tianyang knows the existence of the golden battle flag, and the Zhenshi cannot be withdrawn. If it is withdrawn, Qianlong-1 will become a sniper who lost his eyes: invisible snipers can still do what?Suicide?

So, Head Gao walked towards Yu Haosheng quickly: "Haosheng, do we want to move in a small area? If this continues, we will be shot."

Yu Haosheng shook his head and said: "You can't move, if you move the young master, you won't be able to find the target. We have to bet with each other to see who can't hold it first!"

Gao Tianyang's brows twisted into a word: "But, those torpedoes were all intercepted. It seems that Benson has found a way to deal with the young master's torpedoes."

Yu Haosheng was silent for a while, and said: "There is no way to contact the young master now, we can only follow the existing deployment, even if we are hit by shells, we must not move!"

Gao Tianyang glanced at Yu Haosheng, admired in his heart, and sighed: "Okay, let's take a gamble, trust the young master, everything will be resolved smoothly! Hey, I think it must be that Benson's fleet can't stand it first!"

Yu Haosheng said, "That's for sure!"

After setting the measure of not retreating, Yu Haosheng still took some protective measures. He drove all the sailors on the deck to the cabin below, so as not to be hit by shells and die unjustly.

In addition, the lifeboats are also in place, ready to carry people to set off at any time... You know, before leaving the port, the Zhenshi has installed ten lifeboats, which is three times the normal configuration!

This also fully demonstrated Long Hao's plan for a rainy day.

During the busy time, the second round of bombardment came again!

In this way, in the next 10 minutes, this sea area formed a strange 'confrontation state'.

On the Pushkin, the short-range weapons fired in full force, intercepting the strange torpedo bombardment that appeared about every 40 seconds, while the Moder Double and the Quedxia Leyan fired their main guns at once, and the shells all over the sky seemed free Shoot at Zhenshi.

Cannonballs are flying in the sky, and torpedoes are flying in the water. It is a lively and tense scene.

Finally, Benson's fleet took the lead in opening the breakthrough, and a 12-inch shell, impartial, just fell on the Zhenshi!

This battle and bet seems to end with the failure of Zhenshi...

On the Gogol, Benson, Fremantle and the others were all beaming with joy. They all had binoculars, and the distance of a few hundred meters was not a problem. This lucky shell smashed right into their line of sight. Zhenshi No.

"Great, hit..."

However, before Colonel Benson could finish his words to relieve his anger, the laughter around him stopped abruptly, and everyone seemed to see some unbelievable scene.Seven or eight telescopes just fell on the deck.

"how is this possible!?"

"Bounce, bounced?"

"Are you kidding? Is it a dud?"

"Crap, nonsense... the shell fell into the sea!"

"Friends, come and see God..."

There was a sound of gasping, and every sentence was unbelievable, just now.The shell that smashed into Zhenshi did not cause any damage, and was bounced into the sea water!

The scene is as if there is an invisible large net inside the Zhenshi, and with a slight shake, the large-caliber shells that are enough to smash through the armor of the Zhenshi are rebounded away.

What a situation! ?

The admirals in Benson's fleet were all astonished beyond measure, desperately pinching the thighs of their colleagues to prove that they were not dreaming, and their combined experience of fighting the seas had hundreds of years.But this is the first time I have seen such a weird and unspeakable scene!

Can the shells bounce off?

Are you sure that cruiser isn't made of rubber?

Benson's side was so surprised that there was a vacuum for a while, and Yu Haosheng's side was not much better.

When they saw the shells flying in mid-air, at that moment, Yu Haosheng, Gao Tianyang, Miller, and several Dragon Scale Army soldiers who stayed on the deck really thought that their lives were about to end.

They have different minds, except for Miller.Everyone didn't blame Long Hao, they just sighed: Damn.Yang Maozi's artillery is still commendable, no wonder the young master is always vigilant, hey, this game is still lost, I hope our sacrifice can be exchanged for the young master's victory, it doesn't matter if the Zhenshi sinks.But we must sink those three battleships to avenge us!

However, when the cannonball approached about five meters above the deck, its speed suddenly slowed down, and Yu Haosheng and others could clearly see its ferocious gray and black appearance.

To know.The speed of the main gun is absolutely beyond the reach of human eyes, but at this moment, Yu Haosheng and the others could see it clearly, which made them think it was a hallucination before they died, and Major General Miller was even more upset. A wry smile: Fuck, I won’t be dead, but I can see the appearance of the cannonball, it’s really... well, at least I don’t have to have a headache for eating my teeth anymore.

However, Yu Haosheng and others immediately knew that this was not an illusion, because after the shell speed slowed down to zero, it suddenly moved outwards, just as if it was ejected forcefully from an invisible net... Deck of Zhenshi Above, now and then, golden thunder flashes from time to time, like a power grid that is about to burp.

Gao Tianyang and Yu Haosheng didn't react until the shells fell into the sea. They glanced at each other with lingering fear in their eyes, and murmured in their mouths: "It's the young master, it's the young master who protected us! Oh, that's the power of Buddha's fate, golden Lightning, the protection of the Dharma King..."

The shell was bounced off miraculously, and Long Hao under the sea immediately knew it. His face was pale, his lips were as pale as gray, his tall and straight body trembled violently, and he almost lost his footing.

That's right, the invisible large net that protected the Zhenshi and shone with golden thunder was the defensive function of the dragon boat.

Don't look at how easily the cannonball bounced off without a trace of fireworks, but this time, the consumption of the dragon boat is really a lot!Not only did Jinyuan consume as much as 100 quah of energy at once, but the dragon boat was almost disintegrated, and the 'injury' was directly fed back to the Jinyuan in Long Hao's body, causing Master Long himself to suffer serious injuries!

Ship Companion Dragon Boat is not omnipotent, and Jinyuan is not invulnerable to damage. When the attack energy of the outside world exceeds a certain threshold, the defense of Dragon Boat will also be bombarded to pieces!

After all, the opponent was a large-caliber shell from the main gun. If it hit the ship directly, it could penetrate a few centimeters of steel plate, and its momentum was unmatched.

Besides, this can be regarded as Long Hao's support, and the protection range of the dragon boat has been maximized.

Instead of relying on the main body of the Zhenshi ship for physical defense, it set up an invisible protective net in the air out of thin air. This kind of consumption is naturally five to ten times better than directly changing the hardness of the hull metal.

Therefore, Long Hao's injury was more or less his own fault.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?"

"Master, you are alright! Don't scare Breeze!"

Not only did Long Hao's face suddenly turn pale, blood was also dripping from the corner of his mouth. Zheng Tingxiang, Weifeng and the others beside him were shocked when they saw it, and hurried forward to ask with concern.

There was a sudden panic in Qianlong-1 cabin.

"I'm fine, ahem, it looks like we're going to float to the surface!" Long Hao waved his hand.There was a wry smile on his face as pale as gold paper, and the words that came out of his mouth surprised the other four people.

"Floating?"

"Why? The torpedo hasn't been launched yet?"

"Master, have all the battleships of Benson's fleet been wiped out?"

The four of Breeze, who didn't know why, hurriedly asked questions.

"Unfortunately, it's exactly the opposite of what you think. Now, it's not that Benson's fleet has been wiped out by us, but that the Zhenshi is in danger!" Long Hao smiled wryly, and said to Ke Mi: "Xiao Ke, don't be dazed, Manipulate Qianlong-1 to float up quickly, and if it is later, the Zhenshi may be sunk!"

The dragon boat can block it once, but if another accurate shell hits within a short period of time, the Zhenshi will be doomed.

Long Hao's tone was very serious.Ke Mitong was taken aback, and hurriedly jumped back to the control panel, busy like a butterfly with his hands like flowers.

Phew, the worst is yet to come!

Long Hao adjusted his breathing, comforted Jin Yuan who was injured in his body, and shook his head in his heart with a wry smile: Sure enough, it is not that simple to wipe out six battleships in one fell swoop. Now my only weakness is caught by Benson's fleet, and I will not go up again.Not only would it not be able to annihilate Benson's fleet, but it would also take the entire ship of Zhenshi into it!

Yes.This situation is the worst that Long Hao had predicted in advance.

Our own LT torpedoes didn't work. After the Benson fleet reacted, they began to seize the weakly defended and exposed under the muzzle of the Zhenshi and violently attacked.

There were Gao Tianyang, Yu Haosheng, and dozens of Dragon Scale Army soldiers who insisted on going to sea with them on Zhenshi, and Long Hao couldn't abandon them.And even if he abandoned it cruelly, he was not sure that he could stay on the bottom of the sea and continue to complete the operation to wipe out Benson's fleet.

Since the Zhenshi was shelled, it means that there was a problem with his LT torpedo attack.

Although Long Hao didn't know that the torpedo traces were exposed due to the problem of the launch elevation angle, he knew.It is inevitable to rise to the surface of the sea and find the answer to the question.

"Hey, I told Lao Gao and the others not to follow, but they just didn't listen..."

Long Hao sat on the seat, quietly feeling Qianlong-1's rise, and murmured, "If there is no one on it, I might as well be a strong man who cuts his wrist...Using that ship as a bait, attack the squadron forcibly." Sen Fleet."

Attack?

Long Hao's idea is actually unrealistic. If there is no one on the Zhenshi, how can it attract Benson's fleet to this open sea far away from San Francisco harbor?And who can adjust the angle of the golden battle flag to provide guidance for Long Hao to launch the torpedo?

At least, the result of the sinking of the first three battleships may not be possible.

In fact, Long Hao also deeply understands this truth in his heart, otherwise he would not have planned for a rainy day and spent a lot of money to deploy the highest defense of the dragon boat over Zhenshi: the air protection net.

Qianlong-1 quickly floated to the surface of the sea, and the navigation power was switched from electric motors back to internal combustion engines.

At this moment, the sea was completely silent, because of the strange incident of the shell being bounced back into the sea just now, both Benson and Yu Haosheng fell into a period of astonishing silence!

This kind of scene that seems to only appear in the novels of ghosts and ghosts really shocked many people. Yu Haosheng's side is fine, because most of the crew are in the hold below the deck, but Benson's side is It’s different. Many naval officers and soldiers are devout believers in God. When they saw or heard this incredible scene, they were so frightened that they fell to the ground, chanting prayers, and telling about their past sins. Pray for God's forgiveness...

Therefore, the positions of many forts on the three battleships including the Gogol were suddenly empty, and there was no way to continue firing powerful and threatening shells.

The two sides fell into a seemingly peaceful ceasefire zone. There were no shells flying in the blue sky, and there were no torpedoes roaring in the sea.

This can be regarded as the blessing of the Zhenshi, otherwise the dragon boat would not be able to protect it well if it was hit by another main cannon shell at this time.

In such a scene where the soldiers were beckoning and the flags were silent, a cloud of water suddenly appeared in the sea beside the Zhenshi, splashing around like boiling water, and then, a lump of metal slowly floated from the bottom of the sea come up.

This scene caused the officers of the Benson Fleet who hadn't taken off their binoculars to almost sink their eyeballs into the binoculars, with more than a dozen jaws gaping open, their surprise is self-evident.

"Yes, it's a submarine! Look, that rising thing is a submarine!"

"The Earl of Beihai must be in there. Hurry up, damn it, don't pray, go back behind the artillery and fire at that submarine!"

"Sink it, as long as it shows up, we must seize the opportunity to sink it!"

All the officers who reacted yelled loudly: The murderer who sank the three battleships has finally appeared. Shouldn't we seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to deal him a fatal blow?

However, the officer's wish was good, but most of the sailors were still immersed in the mood of prayer and repentance. By the time they were scolded by the officer and rushed back to the artillery one by one, the opportunity had already passed.

After Qianlong-1 surfaced, the hatch opened with a 'bang'. Zheng Tingxiang came out first, followed by John Holland and Breeze Boy, and finally Long Hao.

Zheng Tingxiang and the others were kicked out by Long Hao. As soon as they climbed out of the submarine, they stood on the back of the submarine with hands and feet, and looked at the three sinking ships not far away. The battleship's eyes couldn't help but brighten, and his mouth was so excited that it was difficult to form effective words: "Sink, sink, oh, it's really sunk... It's so wonderful, oh, I can't believe it, did we do this... ...Did we sink it, and the foreign battleship will sink too...I'm so excited, I feel so happy..." (To be continued...)
