A few special operators carried a few Dutchmen to the cabin, and soon after, there was a series of terrible screams from the cabin, which made people's scalps tingle to hear. After a while, Liu Handong walked to Song Tao's side with a white skin covered in blood and nodded at Song Tao. Then he took out his pistol and shot the white-skinned head and threw him into the sea.

Liu Handong wiped the blood on his hand, then walked to Song Tao's side, and said with a gloomy face: "Old Song, I have already asked, they are Dutch, and they have been waiting here for two days." ”

Song Tao was stunned when he heard this, why did the Dutch attack the Far East, now the two sides have not torn their faces, what are they trying to do? Are they going to tear up the treaty? Liu Handong continued: "As soon as our fleet departed from the port of Manila, they followed, hehe...... People have been thinking about us. What do the people from the Manila Homeland Security Agency do? ”

Ding Xinghao next to him frowned, and then asked, "Is it Dutch?" ”

Liu Handong shook his head and said, "It seems that not only the Dutch, but also the British and Portuguese, they seem to have been united." We should get out of here quickly, the Dutch, English, and Portuguese ships in the vicinity are now looking for us. The visibility is so low on this foggy day, people are more familiar with the environment than we are, and we don't have much advantage when we meet them. ”

Song Tao thought for a while and said, "Are their words reliable?" Those white skins got together, do you have any plans for this year? ”

Liu Handong smiled and said: "We have harmed him three times, and the others have said the same, the information should be true and reliable." But they did not know the specifics, they were only armed merchant ships and warships of the East India Company near the English Channel. We received a notice from the Dutch East India Company to send a clipper to intercept us here. In addition, according to him, many British and Portuguese ships were also cruising nearby, and the target was our fleet. ”

Song Tao listened to Liu Handong's words and knew that the problem was strict. He hurriedly picked up the walkie-talkie. Li Shaojie and other captains of various ships, as well as leading cadres at all levels of the fleet headquarters, were summoned to hold a teleconference with Guò Radio.

When Song Tao told everyone about the situation, everyone was silent.

Hong Shulei said worriedly: "Old Song, our ships are in very bad condition. Shall we return to Le Havre and get the boat repaired there? Besides, we have Jeanne's family in France. The Dutch, English, and Portuguese probably did not dare to trouble us in France. ”

Ding Xinghao immediately shook his head and said: "No, the chips in our hands are too small, who knows if the French will change their minds." If the fleet goes back to France, as soon as things change, then we will be passive. It is estimated that he will have to be trapped in France and die. If the Dutch East India Company really united with several other countries and had the idea of dealing with Manila, then they would take out some bargaining chips at will, and Jenny's family would be the first to betray us.

We must not take risks, and we must not put our hopes on others, although the ships of the fleet are damaged more severely, but mainly the sails and masts are damaged, relying on steam power does not delay the voyage of the fleet. I built a fleet to break out of the fog and find a safe haven near the Azores, where we could repair the ships on our own. ”

Song Tao also supported Ding Xinghao's opinion. He said in a deep voice: "I agree with Lao Ding's opinion, at this time, the European white paper can't be trusted." We're going to get the ship in order, and I've always had the feeling that these whiteskins have plans for us this year, and they're probably going to be Manila.

So we had to rush back to Manila as soon as possible. Prepare your company to respond. Hehe...... Since the Dutch have torn their faces, then don't blame us for turning the other cheeks in the Far East. We've had ideas about the Spice Islands for a long time, and this time we just happened to drive the Dutch out of the South Seas. Completely control the Strait of Malacca and the Spice Islands, making the South China Sea an inland sea in our Far East. ”

Li Shaojie said solemnly: "Hmm...... The French could not believe it at the moment, as long as there was enough timber, we could repair the ship ourselves. I agree with everyone that the priority now is to get out of the foggy sea, find a safe place, fix the boat, and return as soon as possible. ”

Song Tao saw that everyone's opinions were relatively unified, so he gave the order for the fleet to pass through the English Channel at full speed.

As soon as his order was issued, Ding Xinghao, who was next to him, said worriedly: "The current situation of the fleet is worrying, if we catch up with a big storm, our ships may be in danger." ”

After he finished speaking, he found that everyone was looking at him strangely, and Ding Xinghao also realized the strict nature of the problem, he subconsciously covered his mouth and secretly scolded himself for talking too much. It's really evil, since the fleet set sail, he said anything, if this time it really encounters a storm, then the fleet will be in trouble.

Song Tao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Lao Ding, from now on, you keep your mouth shut, and if you want to say it, you can only say good things." That's an order! If you go back to Manila, I will accompany you to tell you that you can do it for three days and three nights, and I beg you, brother. ”

Ding Xinghao did not answer Song Tao's words, but made a zipper movement on his mouth, and then stopped talking. The words of Ding Xinghao, the crow's mouth, were like a haze, permeating everyone's hearts, and everyone was under a lot of pressure, for fear that his words would come true again.

The fleet began to move at full speed, and although the fog on the sea seemed to be thicker, the fleet continued to drive at full speed regardless of it. In such an environment, as long as you encounter an enemy warship, it can only be an encounter. Once an encounter is fought in the fog, even if the fleet finally wins, it will pay a heavy price.

Each ship is equipped with several observers on the main mast to observe the situation in the surrounding sea as much as possible, but the fog is getting thicker and thicker, and the visibility is already only two or three hundred meters.

Suddenly, the observer on the Pioneer shouted, "Sailboat spotted ahead, ...... in the direction of eleven o'clock."

As soon as he finished speaking, other ships also spotted the sailboat. Song Tao picked up the microphone and shouted loudly: "Concealment...... Take cover...... Ships shoot freely, give me a hard shot, don't care if they're enemies or not, if you encounter a ship, open fire and fuck the fuck......"

As soon as his words fell, Van Bit next to him shouted: "Hide, the enemy is shelling......"

In the distance, there were faint bursts of light in the thick fog, followed by a dull sound of cannonball. Song Tao hurriedly threw himself and Vanbit to the ground, curled up on the edge of the side of the ship.

As bursts of piercing whistling sounds swept through the air, pieces of scattered bombs and chain bullets swept wildly towards the ships, beating the already tattered Class A extremely miserably.

This time the fleet was well prepared, and the decks, except for the necessary personnel, went into the cabins. The casualties of the fleet were not large, except for a few observers who did not have time to come down from the mast and were smashed into a sieve by the dense scatter bombs and fell into the sea.

Song Tao's red-eyed microphone shouted: "Rush up and mess with them......"

Van Bit and several captains also began to loudly command the battleship to fight the enemy, and the entire sea was full of cannon sounds, and there were flashes of bright light from time to time in the thick fog. Although the artillery fire of the enemy ships was fierce, it also revealed their position, and the ships of the Far East were also red-eyed and rampage in the thick fog with full power.

After surviving several salvos from the enemy ships, the fleet also approached the enemy ships in the fog, and the long-barreled 75-mm mountain guns, 18-pounder guns, and water-cooled heavy machine guns opened fire almost simultaneously, and the officers and men went crazy. The ruffians of the Mad Dog Brigade even assembled two 70mm infantry guns and moved them directly to the deck to join the battle.

When they approached the enemy ships, the superiority of the Far East was completely brought into play, and several of the enemy's sailing ships were blown up by long-barreled 75-mm mountain guns, igniting a raging fire. The deck was also strafed back and forth several times by water-cooled heavy machine guns, and it was cleaned up. (To be continued)
