【460】 Haizhu and the Counterattack

After explaining Long Hao's series of actions, let us return the show to Captain Robert Kunz.

On the Atlanta, a group of naval officers headed by Kunz were still scratching their heads and thinking hard about the wrong semaphore sequence.

"What do you mean by welcome? The Fletcher is approaching us, so we should say welcome?"

"What do you mean by thank you? Is the British guy thanking us for surrounding the Iron King?"

"That's impossible. The Iron King is just our American Steel King. With the arrogance of the British, it's an accident to help us this time. Thank you, God. It's definitely a mistake, a mistake!"

"Is there any meaning to saving lives? Could it be that the Fletcher is running into danger? Pirates? Storms?"

"How about leaving quickly? I think this is the real purpose of the British. They watched us catch Carnegie, and they came to pick peaches and told us to leave quickly."

……

"Shut up, I already understand..."

Listening to the chattering and various discussions of his subordinates, Kongzi's face was as bright as a hodgepodge: What kind of semaphore is this?

Of course, Kunz would not think that there would be beginner semaphore players on the Fletcher. There was only one reason why the other party would do this: the Fletcher was stalling for time, trying to get within the effective range of its own cannon, and then used the naval gun Threatening yourself, or letting Carnegie go, or wanting to take a share!

Kunz can think of cutting Carnegie's 'dead flesh', and so can the shrewd Brit.

Kunz thought he had figured it out, and ordered to fire a warning: If the Fletcher didn't know what to do and entered the range of 3000 meters, then the three cruisers on his side would not be vegetarians!

However.Kunz's words were still in his mouth, and the Fletcher in the distance suddenly disappeared!

It was night now, and the sky above and the sea below seemed to be black ink jade in the same line as the sky and water. The original Fletcher was like a fishing boat in the dark night, dazzling and dazzling.But at this moment, the dazzling fire suddenly disappeared, and a black and transparent picture was left for people's eyes.

"Boat, where's the ship?"

Kongzi's firing order was stillborn, he was at a loss, and asked back.

"No, I don't know..."

"You didn't see that ship either? Oh, I thought I was the only one..."

... On the deck of the Atlanta, there was a lot of discussion.Doubts abound.

"Where is the lookout? Quickly report the enemy's position... The Trenton and the Richmond, put me on combat readiness, not aim at the Aria, but at the disappeared Fletcher!"

Kongzi was the first to wake up, turned off the lights and disappeared, this is to play a sneak attack while it is dark!In his mind, he immediately classified the Fletcher, which 'arrived without warning', into the category of 'enemy ship'!

Kunz is the captain of the fleet.The order flowed like water from a cliff, and it was immediately uploaded to the two Liao ships.

To say that the quality of the U.S. Navy is really not bad.As soon as they received the order, they moved immediately. Those gunners who were conscientiously guarding the turret aimed at the Aria all put down their hands and prepared to leave their posts.

After all, there are only so many gunners.As a new type of cruiser with artillery arranged on both sides, the ratio of artillery to gunner group should be kept at 2:1, which is the most efficient.

"Is it really the lights off?"

"Why do I think that the Fletcher really disappeared?"

The gunners below were ready for action, while the officers on the Trenton and Richmond murmured through their binoculars.

The endless sea area, although the light is not so sufficient, it is dim and obscure, but the eyesight of the people is not a decoration, and when they glanced over it, they felt the wind blowing in the back of their heads: There is really no trace of the Fletcher!

Even if the lights are turned off, how many outlines remain?Hey, even if it broke the bilge and sank, didn't it sink so fast?

But the current situation is like the Fletcher being ripped off by the claws of an unknown sea monster... Or, the Fletcher is like the legendary ghost ship, and now he is not happy and starts playing 'invisibility' I'm kidding you!

As mentioned earlier, the navy is more superstitious, the more I think about it, the more mysterious it becomes, and the sweat on the back of the neck is getting more and more...

However, God doesn't seem to want the officers and soldiers of the Kunz fleet to lose too much water, or the speed of losing water is too slow!

Before the artillery ran away from the fort, a loud noise was heard. The sound and the vibration occurred at the same time.

This was only the first sound, and most people were still on the way to fall, and the second sound followed.

Then, the third, the fourth... A series of explosions and vibrations followed one after another!

It's like the end of the world!

The sound shattered people's ability to think, and all the carbohydrate creatures were left with instinctive screams, screams and howls, and because the source of the explosion came from the bottom of the sea, the violent vibration shocked the huge battleship like The rag doll in the strong wind shook, trembled, and swayed helplessly back and forth, and countless people on board bumped into dangerous objects that would never hit them normally!

For example, the gunner hit the control lever, the officer jumped over the protective fence, and the power soldier bumped into the hot boiler wall...

The three cruisers of the Kunz fleet were like an ant nest grabbed by a giant, shaking desperately continuously, causing the 'ants' inside to suffer heavy damage, blood flying everywhere, and screaming to the sky.

The boat was already so miserable, but the sea was even more magnificent.

As the captain, Kunz was well protected, and the tragedies like those cold faces against hot boilers would not happen to him, so he was also fortunate to witness the explosion with his own eyes: it was from the Atlanta, Tren Dozens of sea pillars were continuously erupted on the sea surface between the Don, Richmond and Aria, less than [-] meters wide, each of which was tens of meters high and over five meters in diameter, like a giant The whales were exhaling collectively, and the scorching breath carried a murderous intent!

"What's going on? What happened on the bottom of the sea? Is it a shell? Who the hell is firing?!"

Kunz roared hysterically, "Who can tell me? Where did the shell come from? Was it the disappearing Fletcher?"

No one could answer Kunz. After the serial explosions at the bottom of the sea, the uninjured people all went to help the unlucky wounded, and the officers surrounded Kunz.Before the shock was settled, the vocal cords were frozen, and there was no sound at all.

What else could a sea pillar eruption of this scale be except for large-caliber shells hitting the sea?

Kunz couldn't imagine it, and neither could the rest of the officers.

However, it must be determined that it was a shell attack.But it's also quite unreasonable: If it's just one or two sea pillars, it's fine, but dozens of sea pillars in a row... How accurate and dense cannonball salvos are needed to do this?

Kunz bet that even the most elite gunboat in the British Royal Navy would not dare to say that he could land dozens of shells in the middle of the two ships in a row!

Don't mention that Kongzi and others are confused, don't mention that Kongzi's fleet is in a panic, but the Aria on the other side of the chain of sea pillars is a different kind of scenery.

When the high-explosive LT detonated, the Aria was the first to start!

Almost at the moment when the first sea pillar soared into the sky, the Aria was kicked vigorously with leather boots by the naughty Poseidon.In just three moments, it has gone hundreds of meters!

Converted into a sailing speed, it exceeds 140 knots!

This is a miraculous spectacle, but it is a pity that it is blocked by the curtain of sea pillars sprayed in a row, and the crew of the Aria who are in it can't bear it and have no time to see it. .

How can I afford it?

Instantly increase from zero speed to over 250 yards.This kind of excitement is greater than a roller coaster that hangs vertically, and it is also greater than an oil tanker that brakes suddenly... the people on the Aria.Especially those who stood on the deck worrying about the world, immediately fell into bad luck.

It was as if they had been swept by a plantain fan, each weighing a hundred catties was like bean sprouts, and they flew up out of thin air like weightless. Fortunately, they were blocked by some obstacles, but unfortunately they were not.It flew out of the ship directly and fell into the surging sea.

As soon as these unlucky ghosts landed, they soaked for a short while before being swallowed up... It was thanks to the shock of the Aria, otherwise.If the people on the deck saw it, they would have to yell that there is a water ghost!

The ultra-high speed of the Aria only lasted for a few seconds, and by the time the high-explosive lt performance was over, its speed had recovered to about 30 knots, and it began to drive away from the Kunz fleet.

But even so, 30 knots is also a high speed that the Aria cannot reach under normal circumstances. On the deck, Carnegie stumbled up, set up the fence in horror, and looked out of the ship.

"Who gave the order to drive the ship? Who is in charge of the power cabin, report the situation quickly!"

Carnegie's face was pale, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried: the happy thing was that he seemed to have escaped from the clutches of the Kunz fleet, and he didn't need to die, but the worrying thing was that the series of events in front of him completely exceeded his common sense .

Hearing the sound of confused and frantic footsteps, Carnegie held on to the railing, calmed down a little, but smiled helplessly at the corner of his mouth: What's going on?What was that explosion?Was the Aria pushed away by the waves of that series of explosions?If so, how to explain the current ultra-high speed?God, I am afraid that there is no such fast ship in the world today! ?

Looking at the frequent tumbling waves beside the boat, Carnegie was horrified.

The speed of 30 knots, this is definitely not what the Aria can achieve!

Is there a group of whales on the bottom of the sea pushing the boat violently?

Compared to Carnegie who was in a daze inconceivably, some people, especially the Dragonscale Navy who had seen Long Hao crashing into five American destroyers at high speed, became excited immediately after a brief absence.

It's the young master, it's the young master!

Besides the young master, who else could perform such a miracle?

Oh, there is no limit to the road, the young master heard our prayers and came to save us!

Some impatient crew members even poked their heads out of the deck, blinked vigorously, and tried to search for Long Hao's whereabouts in the turbid black ocean.

I have to say that sometimes piety is a kind of power, and it will also give back a substantial gift. After about a few minutes, a few dragonscale marines waved their arms and shouted, the voices were full of surprise, joy and "it should be '...

"Look, something is floating up!"

"I see it, it's a submarine, it's nothing..."

"Submarine, is it the assistance sent by Xia Jia? Thank God."

"Say you're stupid and don't admit it. Did you see the person standing above?"

"Oh, that, that, that's the young master! I'm blind, isn't the young master still lying down..."

"Shhh, your rank is low. In fact, the young master has been fine for a long time. The reason why you keep claiming to the outside world that you are not awake is to paralyze the enemy!"

"Ah, so that's the case. In fact, I have known for a long time that our young master has great fortune and destiny, and auspicious people have their own fortune..."

That's right.Floating up from the sea is the Sapphire Dragon Boat, this shuttle-shaped alchemy weapon, at this moment, it really looks like a submarine.

In addition to Long Hao, the top of the sapphire dragon boat also had an open platform, ten meters long and wide, on which lay a dozen or so people, all wet and coughing.Upon closer inspection, it was the unlucky ghost who fell into the water just now.

Not to mention that these unlucky ghosts were rescued by someone, Long Hao jumped onto the deck of the Aria.

"It's you! Haha, I should have thought it was you, who else could have made these tricks except you!"

Seeing the radiant Long Hao, Carnegie also glowed.Sweeping away the confusion just now, he wanted to hug Long Hao.Laugh out loud.

With Long Hao, the survival crisis on his side is really resolved!

"You're the one messing around!"

Long Hao rolled his eyes and avoided Carnegie's hug: "Let me ask you, you robbed Tesla, where is he?"

There was no Tesla among those who fell into the water just now, after Long Hao boarded the deck.Looking around, he didn't see anyone similar to Tesla, so he asked without hesitation.

Tesla is Long Hao's main target, if something goes wrong.He will be heartbroken.

"Tesla? Nikola Tesla?"

Carnegie paused, and was a little dissatisfied after standing still: "Long time no see, the first sentence you said when we met was actually asking about an outsider? Oh, it really hurts my heart, Long Hao, look, here is your Compatriots, your subordinates, and your friends, are you treating one another too favorably by doing this?"

Escaping from death, Carnegie also made a rare joke.

Within a few words, all the crew members on the deck of the Aria rushed over, all smiling, with little stars in their eyes, rubbing their hands and drooling, as if they wanted to surround Master Long until he couldn't breathe.

This is a living legend, our great leader, no matter how much he flatters and worships him, it is never an exaggeration!

"Okay, okay, I'm very happy to see you all, but now, the crisis has not been resolved, and we still have three enemies that have not been resolved. Is it a better choice for everyone to return to their respective positions?"

Long Hao said something kind, sent everyone away, then forced Carnegie, and asked aggressively: "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you now, what about the Tesla people? If you are injured or not dead, quickly take me to him Cure it!"

"You really value him, okay, don't be rough, he's fine, he's staying with my Seagate card in the cabin..."

Seeing that Long Hao was serious about it, Carnegie no longer kept a secret, but told the truth.

300 million for 30 people, including Tesla and Seagate. The scientist with saltpeter electrolysis in his brain is of inestimable value. No matter what, Carnegie will save his life.

And Tesla seems to have hit it off with Seagate, and it is logical for Carnegie to let him accompany his little angel.

"That's good. Now, all irrelevant personnel have returned to the cabin, and we are going to fight back!"

Knowing that Tesla was fine, Long Hao let go of the big stone in his heart, and waved an order, which included "driving" Carnegie back to the cabin.

"Counterattack? No, I won't go, I want to see how you counterattack!"

Carnegie didn't move the pile, but hung Long Hao like a koala: He has been tired of hearing the rumors about Long Hao's war power in the sea recently, and now he has the opportunity to see it with his own eyes. If he hides in the cabin and misses , That will be a lifelong regret!

"Andrew, are you sure you want to see it? It's very dangerous here!" Long Hao smiled, but he didn't really force Carnegie to leave.

"Of course it depends. That American police officer Kunz wants me to kill him. If I don't take revenge and go back, I won't be able to sleep or eat!" Carnegie gritted his teeth.

Being forced to almost die by his country's navy, it's no wonder that the Iron King can swallow this breath!

"Hehe, there is a Chinese saying that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but it is not too late for a villain to take revenge all day long. Andrew, you are not open-minded!"

"Keep open! If I didn't have a little foundation and was coveted by others, my little angel would have been lost in the hands of these bastards! Humph, I'm not a gentleman, who the hell wants to be beaten and not fight back? Just be a gentleman!" Carnegie said with deep hatred: "Anyway, I want to see that Kongzi die with my own eyes. Two shots from a gunboat!"

At this time, the escape speed of the Aria had dropped to zero, the gunboat turned slowly, and the two thick and long gun barrels on the bow were raised, aiming at the Kunz fleet.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was 1500 meters, which happened to be the ideal range for firing.

"Only hit two shots?"

Long Hao smiled: "Andrew, you underestimate me! Well, I always advocate that facts speak louder than words... the first shot, you look after it!"

As the voice fell, one of the gun barrels on the bow of the Aria contracted violently, and the fire burst out... The loud rumbling sound was deafening, the hull shook violently, and the black gunpowder smoke filled the entire turret, as if a black cloth enveloped Half of the Aria... At the same moment, 1500 meters away, a bright light suddenly appeared out of thin air, like Thor's hammer falling... The hull of the Richmond was actually shattered out of thin air!

Cracked, cracked? !

Carnegie was knocked down by the sudden violent shock, his whole body was in pain, but his eyes did not lie down, but he saw a cruiser with his own eyes, a cruiser that was so arrogant just now, and forced himself with the muzzle of its guns, It was blown up!

Countless steel parts and countless flesh and blood bodies flew up in the rumbling black smoke, red and yellow flames spread across the entire Richmond, and the broken hull began to guzzle water... (To be continued. .)
