The third is !!
……………………………………
In the easternmost part of the battlefield, with a loud bang, China's first heavy cruiser Taishan was hit by a Japanese torpedo, a huge hole appeared below the surface line, and the sea water rushed into it frantically, the hull of the ship tilted, and it had lost its forward momentum.
"Captain, the bottom of the ship can't be blocked. We'll have to abandon ship! The deputy captain said with a sad face. For a true naval soldier, a warship is like another home. What's more, the Taishan has served in China for more than two years, and the sailors on it have long been extremely familiar with every inch of it, and the symbolic significance of the Taishan to the Chinese Navy is far from being comparable to its actual combat effectiveness.
"Order everyone, abandon ship at once!" Captain Han Zhen said with a cold face, but the bulging arms of the green muscles burst out that his heart was definitely not as cold as it looked like on the outside.
Puff, puff!
The soldiers of the Tarzan jumped into the water.
On the Japanese battleship Yamashiro, the Japanese sailors had a gloating look on their faces. Some sailors who had no task gathered on the deck to point at the Chinese sailors struggling in the sea. But there is no international humanitarian spirit at all. When the Yamashiro pursued the Tarzan, it was not without losses, but these damages were nothing to a real super dreadnought like the Yamashiro. After miraculously killing Kirishima with one shot, the Tarzan seems to have run out of luck. In the pursuit of the Yamashiro, the Tarzan used all the main artillery shells, but none of them hit the Yamashiro. But a few shells from the secondary artillery hit the Yamashiro, destroying some of the superstructures and killing dozens of sailors.
Soon, the Yamashiro contacted the Fuso and learned that the King Kong had been damaged and that the Chinese Beijing had escaped wounded. The Japanese fleet command aboard the Fuso ordered the Yamashiro to immediately return to protect the wounded Kongo-class battleship Kirishima.
Looking at the Shancheng in the distance, the Chinese sailors struggled helplessly in the icy waters. Some of the floating debris left behind by the shattering of the Tarzan became a lifesaver for people. The soldiers struggled in the waves. Human life is really nothing to the vast sea, but even the most humble human beings will not give up their lives easily, not to mention that these people are the best naval soldiers in China.
Han Zhen was lying on a wooden plank, and with his knowledge, he couldn't recognize what this thing had broken from. He tried to keep himself calm. But the vast expanse of water around him made him desperate. The chances of encountering a passing ship on this sea are slim to none. And in order to attract the Yamashiro out, they left in a hurry. Just when the Taishan sank, Han Zhen did not determine the geographical location of this body of water.
"Look, there's a boat!" Suddenly, there was a cry of ecstasy from someone in the sea.
Han Zhen's spirit was shocked, and when he saw the approaching black shadow in the distance, his heart was full of excitement. It's a heaven-shattering road. In such a remote place, merchant ships pass by.
All the navy soldiers cheered loudly to attract the attention of the ship, and sure enough, the black shadow approached quickly, it was an old armed merchant ship. But the skull flags fluttering on the merchant ship made Han Zhen want to cry without tears.
"It's a pirate? Damn, what's this called! Han Zhen couldn't help scolding. You must know that the navy and pirates are mortal enemies, and after the establishment of the Chinese navy, there was no encirclement and suppression of pirates in the surrounding waters. Moreover, most of the pirates are ruthless people who do all kinds of evil, and I am afraid that it is really dangerous to fall into their hands. But if they miss this ship in this vast sea area, no one can guarantee that they will have their fate until another ship appears.
It wasn't just Han Zhen who saw the pirate flags fluttering on the armed merchant ship, and everyone gasped in their hearts. The entire sea suddenly fell silent, and all the Chinese naval soldiers fell silent. ..., the pirate ship gradually approached, and there were quite a few people standing on the side of the ship, and they were all dressed in various clothes.
"Wow, wow, wow......" A grunting sound came from the pirate ship. The faces of the Chinese sailors in the water changed again. The Chinese Navy's biggest enemy is Japan, and although most of the navy does not speak Japanese, it is no problem to hear Japanese.
Seeing that there was no reaction below, there was obviously a commotion among the black thieves above. Half a bell later, a somewhat strange Chinese voice sounded on the deck.
"Who are you, how did you end up in the water?" Because of the blow of the waves, it is simply impossible to see the Chinese naval uniform on the high deck.
"We are the Chinese Navy, and our battleship was sunk while fighting the Japanese." Han Zhen pondered for a moment and said loudly.
With Han Zhen's words, the commotion on the deck was even greater. Even from a long distance you can hear the sound of motivational quarrels.
Ten minutes later, when Han Zhen was no longer hopeless, he lowered a few small boats on the pirate ship, and then some sturdy men pulled the Wehrmacht soldiers in the water one by one onto the boat. And at the first time he confiscated the pistol in their arms. The main armament of the navy is warships, so the average naval soldier has no weapons in his hands. The Chinese Navy is not among them, and there are special places for guns in the navy's uniforms, which not only makes the Chinese Navy look more powerful, but also has enough ability to protect itself. The Chinese navy is still weak and facing all kinds of dangers, and it is very easy to be calculated when sailing overseas, and having weapons to protect itself is also a kind of guarantee.
On the wide deck of the pirate ship. More than four hundred Chinese sailors were tied up and squatted on the deck. Next to him are hundreds of fierce pirate men with rifles.
A young man with a tiger's back stared at these 'captives' who still retained the fierce spirit of a soldier in a dangerous environment, his face constantly changing, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Brother! What are you going to do? A graceful young woman dressed in a homespun shirt stepped out of the cabin. The woman looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, her skin was not as fair as that of domestic women, and her wheat-colored skin looked full of health and vitality. A pair of big eyes are watery, and if you put it on other women, it must be a pair of soul-stirring second eyes, but the bridge of the girl's nose is high, and with a pair of second eyes, this young girl's body is full of wild beauty.
"Mingzhu, what else can I do, bring them back to our island, this sea area is often passed by the Japanese Navy, we can't stay here for long." The strong man turned around and said.
"Brother, do you want to nest on our island for the rest of your life, and with the development of the Japanese feet, our island will be discovered by them sooner or later, and when the time comes, we will still not be able to escape the fate of being exterminated." The girl spoke in an extremely orderly manner, and her bright eyes revealed a look of wisdom.
"Mingzhu, what do you suggest?" The strong man seemed to have a high regard for this sister, otherwise with their relatively ancient costumes, a woman would not have such a status among these people.
"They are the navy of the upper country, and we can meet the president of China through them. We will continue to do what my father has not done. Mingzhu's delicate face was full of determination.
"Nonsense. There is no emperor left in China. Do you want us to repeat our father's mistakes? The strong man's face changed greatly, if it weren't for the fact that the person in front of him was the sister of his own mother, the young strong man would have slapped him earlier.
"Brother, now the kingdom is different. Although the legendary Feng Shaoshuai is not known as the emperor, he is definitely an emperor-like figure in the upper kingdom. If we can get the reception and support of such figures, then there is hope for our recovery. Mingzhu was not afraid of his brother at all, and still finished his advice in a steady tone. ..., "How can you guarantee that this Feng Yong is not a faint monarch like Yuan Shikai?" We don't have the capital to squander anymore. The young man said loudly. He looked very excited.
"Brother, I have studied this Feng Shaoshuai's personality, and I am ninety percent sure that he will receive us, and our great cause can only be helped by a task like Feng Shaoshuai." Mingzhu is unusually confident.
"Humph! I admit that China has developed rapidly in the past two years, but compared with Japan, I am afraid that there is still a big gap between China and Japan, otherwise today we would not have saved the Chinese navy, but killed Japan's pigs. The young man glanced at the Chinese Navy and said mockingly.
"Brother, you said it too. Shangguo has the strength to compete with Japan in two years, so what if Shangguo is given another two years? We've been waiting for so many years. Don't care about waiting a few more years! "Mingzhu is not very old, but his knowledge and courage far exceed that of the fierce youth.
The sturdy young man hesitated, and it seemed that this decision was really difficult for him to make.
Mingzhu didn't say anything, and walked directly in front of the Chinese naval soldiers.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have no ill will towards you, and we are not Japanese. The Japanese I just learned was just something we learned! Mingzhu said with a smile. Han Zhen and the others were silent, from the conversation between Mingzhu and the young man just now, although the tone of the two sides was a little weird, but what they said was indeed Chinese, and at first glance, it was only by treating Chinese as their mother tongue that they had achieved this kind of achievement. No matter who they are, this fluent Chinese alone makes Han Zhen and the others feel a lot more cordial.
"Who the hell are you? If I'm not mistaken, you are not Chinese either! Han Zhen said. These people are all fierce, and at first glance, they are all over the sea all year round. Although there are many pirates in China's waters, there are really few such extraordinary. Moreover, since the establishment of the Chinese Navy, it has successively launched attacks on some evil pirates, making this powerful pirate in the northern sea even more non-existent.
"The general has good eyesight, we are indeed not from the Central Plains. We are Ryukyuan people! As for us being pirates, we were forced by the Japanese. Mingzhu walked to Han Zhen's side and sat in front of Han Zhen without care, that kind of down-and-out and generous bearing made Han Zhen a little uncomfortable. Most of the women in the Central Plains are gentle, and this kind of strange woman who is not inferior to men is not something that everyone can adapt to.
