On the other side, the two fast crabs, ship 092 and ship 073, quickly shook off Peter's fleet, and according to the plan made before the war, they went around in a circle and met near a small island. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The hydrological situation here has long been explored by the Xuan army, and it is very helpless and clear on the map, the two ships have anchored in the sea south of the island, and then the two ships immediately began to repair work.

In the blitz just now, although with this favorable natural conditions, a perfect surprise attack was achieved, but, after all, the enemy is not a weak chicken.

You must know that the maritime merchants of this era are all part-time pirates, a promising profession, especially the Netherlands, which is now on the rise, and the two countries of the United Kingdom, which are simply the base camps of pirates.

Exchanges of fire and robbery at sea are simply commonplace for them.

Therefore, after the battle, both fast crabs were damaged to varying degrees.

In the first round of firing, the 092 ship was hit by a small enemy gun on alert, and one of the ship's planks was pierced, killing one gunner, and two others were wounded by the scattered slag of wood.

During the second round of firing, the ship 092 was hit again by a shell, and one of the ship's planks was pierced, but fortunately no people were directly hit, only three people were injured by the flying wood chips.

Ship 073 was unlucky enough to be hit by two shells, and the ship's planks were pierced, one of the shells hit a gunner, who was killed on the spot, and the chain of flying sawdust hit the two sailors again, wounding two others.

In this battle, a total of 4 people were killed, 7 were wounded, and 4 were pierced through the ship's plank.

The people first replaced the damaged planks on the ship, and in this era, the general damage was repaired by the ship's personnel themselves, and then they returned to the home port or the shipyard in the big city to inspect and renovate again.

Part of the sailors, led by technicians, set up the stove and began to heat up the rivets.

The other part of the sailors pulled out the pieces of wood that had been pierced, and then took out the suitable planks that had been cut long ago, and began to carefully polish them.

Next, the technician himself splices together several layers of wood and fixes them with red-hot rivets.

Finally, it was a tedious inspection to confirm that there were no problems, and then the overhaul was over.

When the overhaul was completed, the commander of the 31 formation, that is, the captain of the 092 ship, glanced at the allocated table clock, and the time had just passed an hour.

"First mate."

"Captain, what do you command?"

The captain said in a deep voice, "Let's begin." ”

Although the brow was brainless, the first mate fully understood the meaning of the words, and responded, "Okay, I'll arrange it immediately." ”

Fifteen minutes later, the 31st Formation, except for some vigilant personnel, the rest of the personnel went to the island.

In the center of the island were several iron boxes taken down from the ship, containing the remains of those who had died in the battle.

Except for one gunner, who was directly hit by a shell, and had no way to clean them, he could only put the minced flesh together, and the others had already taken a shower and changed into a brand new military uniform.

The most feared thing at sea is infectious diseases, so the corpse must not be left overnight, but as a Han people, they all pay attention to the safety of the earth, and it is impossible to throw the body into the sea like those pirates.

Therefore, after several years of running-in and discussion, each ship was equipped with several large iron boxes that could hold one person, just so that the crew could hold a cremation.

Bringing back the ashes of the sacrificed martyrs can be regarded as a kind of burial, anyway, it is much better than letting the body be eaten by fish.

Along with the large iron box, there is also some coal tar, which is used as a substitute for firewood when there is a shortage of firewood.

The flames were blazing, and an officer from Liaodong suddenly walked out of the queue, dancing a strange dance with a mournful voice.

"What is he doing?"

"Report to the captain, this is a war dance in the Ava tribe, specially used to summon the spirits of those warriors who died in battle, Ava has no malice, and among the people who died is a friend of the Ava tribe."

The captain quietly felt the strong emotions expressed in the war dance, and his heart was touched.

"Well, I know he has no ill will, and I can feel the strong emotions in this war dance."

After the captain finished speaking, he opened his eyes and turned his head to look at the warrior who replied, "Can you do this kind of war dance?" ”

"Report to the captain, I will, when I used to see off the martyrs alone, Ava took me to jump a few times."

The men on the sea are the most heroic, and the martyrs died in the vigorous artillery fire, so when they leave, they should not be so quiet. "Okay, now, I hope that you can lead all of us to jump together, let us see off the martyrs, and let our comrades-in-arms go vigorously."

"Yes, I will definitely let my comrades-in-arms go vigorously."

Under the leadership of their respective commanders, everyone followed the short figure in front of them in a column and slowly danced the war dance.

A set of powerful movements, showing the strong physique of the warrior, including a series of roars, glaring, slapping limbs and other actions, accompanied by incomprehensible battle words, making everyone a little hungry and bloody.

The flames seemed to sense the atmosphere, and they rose higher and higher, and the cats on both ships also jumped down and stepped to the front of the line, roaring and jumping with everyone.

The flames slowly extinguished, and everyone waited for the officers and non-commissioned officers of the team of the martyrs to come up and collect the ashes, put them into the urn that had been prepared long ago, and carefully wrap them.

Even if this simple cremation is completed.

The political commissar came over and whispered, "Captain, this time the part of the war dance has been added, and the mood of the soldiers has changed from before. ”

"What kind of change?"

"I can't say it, it's just, it seems, it's like, the morale is more strong, I can't say it specifically, I will continue to follow up on this matter, but I hope that if there is a next funeral, can I dance the war dance again?"

"No problem, you are the main one in charge of the ideological problems of the army, and I will cooperate."

"Thank you then, then I'll go first."

"Wait, political commissar, I'm going to hold a military seminar soon, won't you participate?"

"Captain, I'm a political worker, so I won't attend the seminar of your officers unless it is necessary." With that, he turned around and got on the boat and went about his work.

"Huh" Captain exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, and ordered, "Herald, inform all officers to come to my captain's room for a meeting, and in addition, let all the officers hurry up to eat and rest, our reconnaissance mission is not over yet." ”
