Chapter 957: Seeing Death or Not Saving?
Seeing where Liu Jun sat after saying that there was nothing to do, Zheng Yiqian sighed in his heart, he knew that this time the British would suffer a dumb loss. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Liu Jun first asked the intelligence department to let the ships transporting the British advisory group sink into the river, and then let the Yangtze River ships dispatch to the rescue, even if the British knew in their hearts that this was Liu Jun's trick, there was no way, after all, the Liaodong Army was the first to arrive.
Yangtze. China's first big river, the rolling river, went east.
Woowoo........ In the distance, a British-flagged merchant ship is slowly heading east.
On the deck, Luke, who was the head of the advisory group this time, looked at the scenery on both sides of the river with a serious face. It's been a day since it left Wuhan, and it won't be long before the ship will pass through Wusongkou and enter the sea.
Along the way, because it is a British flag, there are no ships patrolling the Yangtze River to block the way, however, since entering the area controlled by Liaodong, Luke found an obvious sign, that is, the place controlled by the imperial court, it is not prosperous at all, and the people who swim on the river are some small boats, fishing boats, but since entering the place controlled by Liaodong, this situation has begun to change, and it is not small fishing boats that swim on the river, but iron wheels. The heavy ones are thousands of tons, and the light ones are hundreds of tons. And on the river, from time to time, Liaodong patrol ships wearing white military uniforms will appear, these ships are all patrol boats, but this does not affect his worries about these ships.
Bang, a violent tremor made Luke, who was in a daze, look confused, and the tremor just now seemed to come from the ship.
"It's leaking. Leaking, the ship hit the rock, the ship hit the reef, the right rudder is full. Panicked shouts were heard from the ship.
What's going on? Luke, who hadn't understood yet, saw William running over with a panicked face.
"Luke, it's not good, the ship hits the rocks, we're finished." William's face was as pale as death.
How to hit the reef, the ship has been walking here for so many years, even if it is himself, he has passed by these places many times, and he has never heard of it, there is a reef in this place.
"Get out of here, get out of here. The ship is sinking. Before Luke could finish his thoughts, Captain Smith had already run out. Wave your arms.
"Captain, why did you hit the rocks, didn't you find out before?" Luke asked, still with a puzzled look on his face.
This question is also what Smith wants to know, he has come to this place, I don't know how many times, he has never heard of any reef in this place, even more than ten years ago, he went to Wuhan from here, there was no problem, but today.
"I don't know, I was in the cab just now. Suddenly, I heard a crashing sound from the bottom of the boat. The crew then reported that the ship had collided with the reef.
"Report to the captain, the ship began to tilt. Whether to abandon ship. A crew member ran over in a panic and said.
Understood, everything understood, this must be a matter of the Liaodong Army, they are going to leave us more than 100 people, thinking of this Luke felt a little uncomfortable, if he knew this, he would definitely not take the waterway, let alone the place controlled by Liaodong, now, it is called every day, and the earth is not spiritual.
One thing I regret even more is that I am a landlubber.
Thump...... Some crew members have already started to dive into the water and then headed for the river.
"Luke, let's go, there's a swimming ring here, jump down, or the ship will sink in a while, and the whirlpool will suck you directly into it, William handed a white swimming ring in his hand to Luke.
"I can't swim ......." Before he could finish speaking, William had already jumped down the icy river with a thud.
Damn, a bunch of bastards, seeing William didn't care about his feelings at all. Luke shuddered and put a swimming snare around his neck.
Just around the corner a kilometer away, a light torpedo cruiser ship was docked on the river. The smoke was thick, and the warship was already on fire, however, it was not moving.
"Is there a signal from the top of the mountain?" A major walked onto the bridge and raised his binoculars from the side to look at a small red flag on the top of the opposite hill.
"No, the intelligence bureau at the top of the mountain hasn't signaled yet." A staff officer said.
"Forget it if you don't have it, since they don't want us to go to the rescue now, they are hungry, give orders, and be ready to anchor at any time." After the major finished speaking, he snorted coldly and turned around and walked into the ship to rest.
This warship docked here last night according to the order of the Intelligence Bureau, and was ready to wait until the British ship sank to save people, and it had been discussed that once the red flag was erected on the opposite hill, the ship would immediately go over to save people, however, the British ship had been rammed for nearly half an hour, and there was still no movement on the opposite side.
At the top of the mountain, Zhang Yunfei, head of the Jiujiang Station of the Intelligence Bureau, was picking up the binoculars in his hand and looking at the British people who were fleeing for their lives on both sides of the river in the distance.
"Stationmaster, if you don't give an order, otherwise none of these Britons will survive, after all, the director is for us to save people, if all of them die, then the director will not be able to explain at that time, said an assistant in black clothes next to him.
"How much time." Zhang Yunfei asked after thinking for a while.
"It's half an hour in five minutes." The person on the side looked at the time and said.
Half an hour, it looks like time is enough. Zhang Yunfei, who thought about it, looked at the British ship with the bow of the ship in the distance, and then said: "It's okay, let them go over and rescue them quickly." We have to pretend to be very enthusiastic about it. ”
"Report, a signal came from the top of the mountain, and the chief of staff said loudly after entering the command tower.
When he arrived, the major who heard this raised his binoculars and looked at it, and a red flag had already appeared on the top of the mountain.
"Herald. Go full speed ahead after cornering. This rescue is our great victory and our responsibility to save lives and help the wounded. "Crackling, the major said a lot, and at last, the docked ships began to slowly leave the river.
"Liaodong warship,...... Liaodong warship. Like seeing a savior, Luke, who had already drunk almost three catties of river water, looked at the yellow dragon flag fluttering on the warship with an expectant face. Because their name is in their hands.
"Help....... Help ........" exerted his strength to feed, and Luke began to scream loudly, he really couldn't stand the taste of drinking water.?? (To be continued.) )
