Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

On the command ship, the captain put down his binoculars and gritted his teeth in deep thought.

Just now, the observation post noticed something unusual in the sea ahead, but the weather tonight is really bad. It's pitch black, and there's a thin layer of fog on the sea, so the binoculars can't see very far.

The captain pressed the radar operator's communication button: "Report the situation."

"Report: Four warships have been detected ahead, located approximately 15 nautical miles southwest of us."

Several unidentified ships appeared twice to my southwest at 22:26 and 23:03, but disappeared very quickly. Report complete!

After listening to the radar operator's report, the captain frowned even more deeply: "Our technology is still inferior..."

It's extremely uncomfortable to be able to detect others but not others, and for them to keep testing you.

"I order the fleet to deploy in attack formation and advance three nautical miles westward!"

"Captain!" The political commissar standing beside the captain exclaimed in alarm, "Isn't this inappropriate?! Don't act impulsively, don't act impulsively!"

The captain glanced at the political commissar, who was a good man in every way except for being a bit timid and indecisive: "How did I act impulsively? They're allowed to fire cannons, but we're not allowed to go and take a look?"

"Captain, I heard the radar operator's report just now; their position is still in Y country's waters!"

"What? I didn't hear that? Besides, I didn't say I was going to their territory. We're sailing in our own waters, what business is it of theirs?!"

"Old Qian, you can't do this again!" The political commissar's heart was in his throat. This captain was good in every way, except for his bad temper and impulsiveness!

"Political Commissar, we are on a ship and on a mission. Please do not call me by my name, but by my rank."

"Old Qian, don't give me that crap. You know how complicated things are around here. If something goes wrong, we can't afford the responsibility!"

"I'm the captain, I'll take responsibility. If things get really bad, just remove me from my post."

"It's good that you've been removed from your post! If something really went wrong, you might end up in a military court, and then everyone would suffer along with you!"

"Oh, so after all that, you're afraid of getting into trouble along with me, huh? I knew it!"

"Look at you, pulling this trick on me again!"

"Alright, alright, my good political commissar!"

I'm in charge of military operations, so don't try to interfere with my command!

"Well... there's a soldier in the mess hall who's homesick. He's been crying for two days straight, it's really heartbreaking. You'd better go and talk to him, hurry up!"

"Ugh, you're just kidding! Partnering with you is the worst luck imaginable..."

"Oh yes, yes, yes! You're right! Stop dawdling, it'll be too late if we go any later. You've already persuaded us, and the work that needed to be done is done. Go on."

The political commissar glared at the captain and stormed off, probably to do some ideological work with the cooks.

The captain smiled as he watched the political commissar leave, then his expression darkened: "Pass on my order: the fleet deploys into battle formation and advances 10 nautical miles west!"

"yes!"

Rumble~

Shell after shell landed on the nearby sea, sending up towering columns of water. The speedboat was like a leaf in a storm, in danger of capsizing at any moment.

It was impossible to stand up in the speedboat. Xie Dan gripped the railing tightly with both hands, his heart churning. The intensity of the turbulence was pushing him to his limit, and he could only fight back desperately.

Xu Tianyou's situation was much better. He often traveled by boat, but he still had to hold onto Kunji, who was unable to move, so he could only stay in one place and could not move.

"Ha, these idiots, they fired so many cannons and still didn't hit us! Shells aren't cheap, they're going to lose a fortune!" Xu Tianyou was still in the mood to joke, but the noise outside was too loud, and even Kunji couldn't hear him clearly.

An Xiaohai, his face cold, calmly maneuvered the speedboat, speeding northeast along an S-shaped route.

The only chance of survival would be to circle around to the side of the speedboats that were surrounding them from the east. Once they reached that position, they might stop firing for fear of accidentally hitting their own men.

However, this requires getting close enough to the enemy's speedboat to be effective.

That's the only way. The speedboat has been fitted with steel plates, so it can withstand gunfire for a while, but if it gets hit by a naval cannon, it'll be gone.

Boom!

Another shell exploded behind the speedboat, and the resulting wave propelled the speedboat directly out of the water. The speedboat glided through the air for more than ten meters before crashing into the sea with a bang.

The sound of metal being pulled came from the bottom of the speedboat, indicating that the bottom of the boat had reached its limit. If this happened twice more, the entire bottom of the boat would probably collapse.

"We can't go on like this. Their shells are getting more and more accurate..." An Xiaohai gritted his teeth, turned the rudder sharply, and the speedboat turned again, heading towards the southeast, quickly approaching the enemy speedboats that were surrounding it.

This tactic worked, and the enemy's shelling immediately became sparse. But before everyone could catch their breath, the ship was filled with a series of clanging sounds.

The enemy ships are very close.

"Thank you, Dan!"

An Xiaohai roared, and Xie Dan gritted her teeth, opened the box containing the floating mines at her feet, dragged the box and stumbled to the stern, opened the hatch, and threw the box and mines out together.

A fierce wind howled! Xie Dan exerted all his strength and finally managed to close the tailgate.

An explosion rang out, presumably indicating that an enemy ship had struck a mine, but at that moment, no one had the energy to pay attention to that.

Another burst of bullets swept over, and with a bang, a metal plate fixed to the bulkhead could not withstand such a dense attack and finally exploded.

At the same time, An Xiaohai felt a sharp pain on his face, and hot blood flowed down his cheek. An Xiaohai had no energy to care about that; he was only focused on maneuvering the speedboat, darting left and right on the sea.

"Xie Dan, hold Kunji in your arms!"

The fact that one iron plate broke means that the other iron plates won't last much longer either.

Xu Tianyou understood that if he didn't find a way to retaliate, the situation would only become more and more dangerous. So he handed Kunji over to Xie Dan to take care of, and went to the stern to grab the Gatling gun and began firing at the rear through the firing port on the stern door.

Whether it was Xu Tianyou's marksmanship or good luck, he hit an enemy speedboat in the first round of firing, and the violent explosion once again made the entire sea surface suddenly bright.

An Xiaohai subconsciously turned around and immediately saw a sight that made his scalp tingle: a speedboat was hurtling towards them from the right, less than 20 meters away.

The enemy speedboat has a very peculiar appearance; it's clearly not an ordinary speedboat. It should be an assault speedboat equipped on a warship. If it were to ram the speedboat, the consequences would be unimaginable.

An Xiaohai's mind raced!

Twenty meters passed in the blink of an eye. At his current speed, there was no way he could avoid being hit by the enemy speedboat. In a flash, An Xiaohai had a brilliant idea and quickly pressed a blue button.

An Xiaohai's speedboat has two miniature jet skis hidden at its stern, one on each side. The blue button is used to release the jet skis from their restraints.

Click~

The latch opened, and the jet ski on the right slid down the slide and plunged into the sea with a bang. Then, with another loud crash, the attack boat that had been ramming into the abandoned miniature jet ski.

The motorboat was sent flying more than ten meters into the air before disintegrating, with large pieces of it falling helplessly into the sea.

The enemy assault boat seemed to be unharmed, but its speed had decreased, and it was no longer a threat.

Before An Xiaohai could even catch his breath, another burst of bullets swept over, tearing open a large section of the metal plate on the left bulkhead. The sea breeze rushed in with a whoosh, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.

An Xiaohai seemed to have heard Kunji's shouts, but at this point he had no energy to pay attention to the situation in the cabin.

On the left side, patches of tiny lights lit up again; these were flames spewing from the muzzle of a gun.

An Xiaohai gritted his teeth and suddenly turned the rudder to the right. The ship tilted, the damaged area was raised, and all the bullets hit other parts.

As the boat righted itself, An Xiaohai felt a slight slowdown in speed.

This is not a good sign. In the previous attack, although An Xiaohai blocked the bullets by tilting the ship, he also paid a price. The bottom of the ship may have been breached.

"Xie Dan! Xie Dan!..."

An Xiaohai heard Xu Tianyou's shouts.

"What's going on?!" An Xiaohai asked loudly without turning his head.

Xu Tianyou struggled to crawl to the driver's seat and shouted, "Xie Dan got shot in the abdomen! His bulletproof vest went right through, he's bleeding a lot, but he probably won't die anytime soon. Too bad I'm out of bullets... Damn it! Watch out!"

Before Xu Tianyou could finish speaking, he leaped forward and stood beside An Xiaohai.

Boom!

An RPG exploded to the left front. Fortunately, it was probably at the end of its range, as the RPG did not hit the speedboat directly. Instead, it fell into the sea a few meters away from the speedboat and exploded on the surface.

puff~

Xu Tianyou, who was standing beside An Xiaohai, spat out a mouthful of blood, which splattered all over An Xiaohai's neck and face.
