Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 146

Song Yunwan's boat rushed towards the target like an arrow leaving the string, leaving behind the larger bird boat.

After the boat sailed a short distance, Song Yunwan ordered: "Launch the signal flare."

A soldier responded by raising his flare gun and firing a flare into the sky. Tangning, who was facing the enemy in another direction, didn't notice it at all.

After waiting for a while without getting a response, Song Yunwan said again: "Send again."

With a sound of "whoosh", another signal bomb rose into the sky, but still did not receive a response, so she picked up the telescope again.

Farther away, she saw bits and pieces of light, and her brows were tightly furrowed.

At this time, Tang Ning had already started using the anti-aircraft guns, because the nearest ship was within a mile.

"Bang bang bang..."

The power of the 37mm caliber anti-aircraft gun is not comparable to that of the 7.92mm caliber machine gun. It may not have that much destructive power against large ships, but it is more than enough to deal with small boats.

With a "boom", the shell directly dug a big hole in the hull, and then exploded.

Broken shrapnel shot out in all directions, wantonly strangling and killing the people hiding in the boat.

The flames from the explosion let Tangning know that he had hit the target. Although the boat was still approaching under the influence of the sails, he ignored it and quickly aimed at the next target.

After hitting two more ships, Tangning immediately adjusted the course and fired the signal flares as usual.

However, as soon as the flare was lifted into the air, he saw the same fireworks rising in the distance.

Tangning was overjoyed, and quickly fired another signal flare. The response was quickly received, and a signal flare was also fired from afar.

After confirming that it was her own support force, Tangning adjusted her course again and headed towards the location where the flare was launched in the distance.

However, Tang Ning did not relax his vigilance at all, because a large number of enemy ships were much closer to him, while he only saw one of his own support ships, and the situation was still not optimistic.

Tangning once again devoted herself to blocking the approach of the enemy ship, but Song Yunwan could not wait to fly over immediately.

However, she was not overwhelmed by the urgency in her heart, but quickly dispatched orders and formulated a battle plan.

Because she knows that there will be a fierce battle next.

As the distance got closer, Song Yunwan could already see the flames of battle in the distance. She recognized that it was the light from her own firearms, and only her own firearms had such a high rate of fire.

The enemy ship at the front had already gotten closer to a distance of less than 300 meters. Tangning could see it clearly without using binoculars.

This helped his aiming, but made the situation more dangerous because more than one ship was fast approaching.

Tangning tried her best to calm down his nervousness, because he knew that being nervous was useless, it would only make him lose his balance.

"Bang bang bang..."

After one magazine was emptied, Tangning picked up another heavy magazine and loaded it, continuing a new round of shooting.

At least six ships had already been thrown off course by Tangning, and three more were on fire, but those enemy ships did not retreat at all, instead they rushed forward recklessly.

Through the binoculars, Tangning could see that Song Yunwan's boat was two miles away from her.

Even if the speed of the two sides approaching is much faster than the speed of the other party's pursuit, but with the current speed of the enemy ship and the distance from itself, it is almost impossible to meet before the enemy ship approaches us.

Of course, Tangning still doesn't know that Song Yunwan is bringing someone over to help her. Even if she knows, there's no good way to do it. Right now, she can only rely on herself.

"Bang bang... bang..." Suddenly, the anti-aircraft gun made a crisp sound. Tangning looked around and knew that all the loaded magazines had been emptied.

Now that there was no time to reload ammunition, Tangning sighed and left the anti-aircraft gun's emplacement, set up the MG42 again and started to fire.

He stopped hitting the hull and strafed the sails.

In the face of the ferocious firepower of MG42, the sails were like paper, beaten like rags.

One of the masts of two ships was swept off, and the speed of the ships suddenly slowed down.

However, in order to approach as quickly as possible, the enemy ships had already adopted various strategies. They spread out as much as possible, trying to surround Tangning in an arc.

In order not to let any ship approach, Tangning had to change positions frequently to shoot.

Fortunately, he had set up machine gun positions in several directions before and equipped enough ammunition, which saved him a lot of trouble, and he didn't have to run around with the machine gun and ammunition.

However, after all, Tangning was alone, and the targets were ships. Although he worked hard and made relatively perfect arrangements, he still couldn't stop the enemy from approaching.

50 meters, 30 meters, he can hear each other shouting.

"Stop the boat, stop the boat."

"Catch alive, catch alive."

Tangning immediately picked up a satchel, picked up a submachine gun, and started shooting.

When one magazine was empty, he immediately unloaded the empty magazine and threw it into the sea, then took out a full magazine from the satchel and loaded it, and continued to shoot.

Tangning ran back and forth on the deck by herself, just to block the enemy ships that surrounded her from several directions.

When a ship approached less than 20 meters away, Tangning picked up a grenade in the ammunition box, pulled the fuse and threw it out, because he had already unscrewed the cover beforehand.

However, the aim of the first grenade was a bit off, and the grenade exploded about two meters to the left of the ship.

With a "boom", a jet of water exploded.

With a "bang", the people on that ship went off in anger or nervousness, and someone fired back.

"You bastard. You are not allowed to use the blunderbuss, nor shoot arrows..." Someone shouted.

Tangning didn't care so much, regardless of whether the enemy fought back or not, he had to do his best.

Otherwise, he would rather jump into the sea than allow himself to be caught by Zheng Zhilong's men again.

Because if you are caught again, it is basically impossible to escape.

Tangning threw another grenade, this time directly onto the deck.

There was a loud "boom", and a burst of flames erupted on the ship. Several crew members were directly thrown into the sea by the air waves, and the surviving wounded were screaming and cursing terribly.

Suddenly, with a few swishes and thumps, Tangning saw several rope hooks hooked to the side of her boat.

Tangning's gaze focused, and she saw that several people were quickly pulling the rope on the boat connected to the rope hook, and the speed of the two boats approaching immediately accelerated a lot.

Tangning's expression changed, and she quickly turned and fired.

"Ahh..." screamed a few times, and a few were swept down.

Tangning quickly fired a grenade, and immediately threw it onto the deck of the enemy ship. With a bang, the ship was almost brought to a halt. Tangning took the opportunity to distance herself.

Looking around, Tangning put the submachine gun away behind her, then stood beside a bullet box, took out grenades, and threw them out as quickly as if they didn't want money.

"Boom boom boom..." Explosions continued for a while, some fell into the enemy ship, and more fell into the water and exploded.

Such madness really frightened the enemy, and the speed of approaching was also stagnated.

But things have reached this point, it is naturally impossible for them to give up, because they have already recognized Tangning on the boat.

Everyone knew how beneficial it would be to capture Tangning alive.
