(532) "The Dragon Fetches Water"
"It's not just aircraft carriers, but those with slightly worse airworthiness surnames can't stand it." Chen Dingyuan laughed strangely and said, "If I drive their heavy cruiser in, I'm afraid that it will be more than lucky, hehe!" ”
"Who did you listen to?" Huang Jiaxuan shook his head disapprerovingly, "I say that my shipbuilding technology is also very advanced, not worse than our China and the United States." ”
"There's something wrong with their design." Chen Dingyuan smiled and said, "I heard Dr. Shi Xuanhou say it before, and later asked some experts, and they all said that I sacrificed my seaworthiness surname for the one-sided pursuit of single-ship firepower, and I will definitely suffer a big loss. ”
"I realized the importance of this airworthiness surname today." Huang Jiaxuan looked out the window with palpitations, and at this time another wave had already hit.
"I really hope that their battleships will have the same problem, and they will let the waves overturn and sink in this 'dragon triangle'."
"Yes! We'll save ourselves that way. But in that case, we're going to have a bigger sin. Chen Dingyuan smiled bitterly, looked at the big waves outside the window, and clenched the handrail again.
"I hope Lao Chu and they can hold on, hehe."
The main Chinese fleet, the battleship "Fuxi", the bridge.
"This ghost weather, like a convulsion, changes when you say it!"
Chu Yangwei, who was wearing a raincoat, looked at the gray sky above his head and said to himself.
At this time, the black clouds that had once topped the sky had disappeared, but the entire sky was gray-brown, and there was no sunlight at all, which seemed even more depressing than just now.
The strong sea breeze had weakened by this time, and the huge waves on the sea had subsided, and there was a dead silence on the sea, which made people feel an indescribable weirdness.
"Yes, there were huge waves just now, why is it suddenly calm down for a while?" Zhang Enming also felt a little strange.
"I'm afraid there's something weird here!" Chu Yangwei looked back and saw that not far away, the figures of the battleship "Spring and Autumn" and the battleship "Warring States" were clearly distinguishable.
The two of them were talking, and the sea fog was much smaller at this time, but it had not all dissipated.
"Listen! What is the sound in the sky? ”
Chu Yangwei looked up at the sky covered by sea fog, and when he listened to it, there was a loud sound like the wood breaking layer by layer. Chu Yangwei couldn't help but mutter, "What the fuck is this?" ”
By this time the sky was getting brighter, and the sea fog was gradually weakening, but the sea was still white and foggy in the distance, and people heard strange sounds in the air on the deck, and they were all in shock, not knowing what was going on in the fog.
Suddenly, Chu Yangwei felt that something had landed on the raincoat and hat above his head, and he couldn't help but touch it with his hand, it was cold and slippery, it turned out to be a small fish!
In a short time, fish fell from the air one after another, both large and small, and many of them landed on the deck of the ship, jumping up and down in an attempt to leap back into the water.
"Strange thing! How did the fish fall from the sky? One of the staff officers laughed.
At this time, Zhang Enming suddenly seemed to remember something, and his voice suddenly became hoarse and urgent: "It's not good...... Oops! ”
"How?" Chu Yangwei was taken aback. Zhang Enming has always been calm, but at this time, his voice revealed great unease.
As large and small fish continue to fall from the sky, it is like a heavy rain on the sea. The loud sound around was like thunder, and it was like a strong wind blowing a bamboo whistle, making a long and mournful whining sound, so that people couldn't tell what it was making these sounds, but the sea fog dispersed even faster by this shower mixed with sea fish.
Before the people on the bridge could understand what was going on, they saw a huge wall of water suddenly appear on the sea not far ahead, and the sea water was emptied, and the "Fuxi" was in front of this large wall of water rising from the sea. Like a sharp sword. At this time, the sky in the east was completely covered by the wall of water, and the sky that had just dispersed the sea fog immediately darkened, and the "Fuxi" seemed to be in the dark abyss of the sea!
The people on board trembled with shock at this terrible sight. The calm sea instantly revealed its hideous and violent side, seeing that it was getting closer to the water wall, the closer it was, the more powerful it felt, the sea wall stood up, making people dare not force it, the "Fuxi" did not turn the rudder, but moved forward against the water wall, and the monstrous waves surged, as if to smash the giant ship to smash it all at once.
"It's grandma's...... Tsunami? Chu Yangwei raised his head and asked in surprise.
"What a tsunami! Lao Chu, take a closer look, it's a tornado......" Zhang Enming's face turned a little pale, "This is what the common people often say that the dragon king is in the water, and it is the dragon who takes the water......"
"Engine room! Full power! Increase to maximum speed! All the people into the cabin! Chu Yangwei strode into the command tower, giving orders loudly, and the captain of the ship, Colonel Cui Dingan, personally steered the rudder to avoid the vortex caused by the wind pressure of the tornado.
Hearing Chu Yangwei's order, all the people on the ship hurriedly got into the cabin, so as not to be swept into the sea by the huge waves on the deck, they all knew that the "tornado" could be said to be the most devastating force on the sea.
Commander Tower, Chu Yangwei looked around at the sea, there were monstrous turbid waves everywhere, the water potential was emptied and pressed, there was not only a huge wall of water between the sky and the sea, but dozens of "dragon water" appeared at the same time, the sea water poured into the sky, and the amazing thing was that the moment the huge waves reached the sky, the sea surface in the cracks of these water walls was extremely calm, and the water wall rising in the sea also seemed to be frozen at the highest place, the sea air went straight up and down, and the sea surface did not even have time to fluctuate violently.
In the face of the terrible power of nature, it seems to be a static picture, only the sea fish and water mist washed into the sky by the sea water keep falling back into the water, in this suffocating heaven and earth great changes, the front and back of the "Fuxi", including the sky overhead, are all surrounded by inky blue water, making people completely unaware of where they are.
In the cockpit, the officers and sailors held each other's hands and strengthened their courage, all trying to find some confidence from each other's faces to add courage to face the unimaginable test in front of them, but under the shock of this great change in heaven and earth, everyone looked at each other, and no one's face could see anywhere, they were all like dead ashes.
At this moment, there was a sound as if the steel bar was breaking, and suddenly approached, and a huge shadow slowly appeared above the water wall, and the wreckage of the first half of a steamship slowly poked out from the water wall, like a sea ship in the sky, driving to the vertical water wall waterfall, and it was about to fall to the lower sea!
At this moment, there was a spectacle on the sea, completely immersed in a terrifying and boundless desolation: in an almost frozen moment, two layers of sea seemed to appear under the ship at the same time! One layer of sea hangs high in the sky, and the other layer of sea is the sea from which the "Fuxi" could not break free, and from the sea in the sky fell a lot of things brought up from the bottom of the sea, wrecked anchors, whalebones, and reefs...... Everything that was deposited on the bottom of the sea was turned upside down, and what appeared in front of people's eyes was tens of millions of tons of seawater, which were brought to the sky by the rising sea air, divided into hundreds of thick walls of water hanging overhead, and the wreckage of a shipwreck on the bottom of the sea was also pushed into the sky by a strong rising air current, because it was on the edge, the wreckage of the nameless ship, like those sea fish thrown out by the sea, had to fall from the sky.
When the officers in the command tower saw this terrifying scene,
An officer raised his finger and pointed into the air, opened his mouth and shouted hoarsely, but no one could hear him, everyone's ears were covered by a huge roar that continued uninterruptedly, Chu Yangwei knew that he probably wanted to say: "The shipwreck is about to fall down, and it is above our heads!" But that's when language doesn't work.
"If you don't hurry up and get the boat out, we're going to finish the game......" Zhang Enming looked at Chu Yangwei and said, although his voice was drowned in the roar, Chu Yangwei knew what he was talking about when he looked at the shape of his mouth.
The "Fuxi" desperately turned the rudder under the guidance of Captain Cui Ding'an. The hull of the "Fuxi" was stiffly struck, but it still did not move forward much. At this time, the black wreckage of the steamer was like a heavy bomb hanging high in the air, and it was about to hit the body of the "Fuxi".
"It seems to be an old French cruiser......" Zhang Enming opened his mouth and said "silently".
Chu Yangwei looked at the wreckage of the ship with wide eyes, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise.
He had already recognized it, this was the missing cruiser "Mu Pong" mentioned by his adoptive father when he told him the story of the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle!
In order to deal with the Beiyang Fleet of the Qing Dynasty, he ordered this cruiser with a displacement of 3,600 tons and equipped with 4 240 mm guns and 7 150 mm guns from France, but it was lost on the way home. I didn't expect that time would fly and appear in front of the Chinese Navy in this way today.
As if there were evil spirits rampant, the hull of the "Mu Pong" was slowly moving forward under the agitation of the sea air, and it was about to fall to the "Fuxi".
At this moment, Chu Yangwei suddenly saw that the No. 2 main turret of the "Fuxi" suddenly turned, turned to the direction of the water wall, and a 460-mm main gun barrel was quickly raised.
"What are they going to do? ......" As soon as Zhang Enming's words fell, he only heard a thunderous sound of "boom", and the huge cannon barrel spewed out a long flame, as if the dragon was roaring angrily.
The hull of the "Mu Pong" that was about to fall in the air was hit at once, but when the red light flashed, the sound shook the sky, and the ghostly hull of the "Mu Pong" was blown to pieces in an instant, and the fragments of the wreckage fell in all directions, falling on the sea where the bow of the "Fuxi" had just stayed, and the water splashed out, stirring up powerful waves, and for a time there was a lot of danger. Although the hull of the "Fuxi" was constantly impacted by the stirred waves, it stood still like a mountain.
"Well played!" Seeing this scene, many officers applauded excitedly, forgetting for a moment that they were now in an unprecedented danger.
The wreckage of the fallen ship had just fallen, and all the water dragons of the sea were suddenly pumped into the air, and the two parts of the sea were separated from it, and the thick wall of water obscured all the sky, and the dark clouds were all together, and the sea was dark and boundless, and in the blink of an eye, it was no longer recognizable, and after a short period of stillness, suddenly the wind was fierce, and the rain was like a note. The wind and waves are rolling, just like the heavenly river pouring in, and the sea surface is surging and churning. The "Fuxi" rose and fell on the sea surface under the storm, moving up and down in one after another shocking waves.
"Lao Tzu has never seen such heavy rain and waves since he beat his mother's womb." Chu Yangwei grinned and said.
"Be careful! Lao Chu! The waves are coming! Zhang Enming shouted.
The people in the command tower clung to all the fixed things that they could hold around, and at this time, the huge battleship was lifted up by the huge waves again, and Chu Yangwei felt for a while that the five hidden organs in his chest were thrown into the air by the stormy waves, and then fell into the bottomless abyss all of a sudden.
Another hurricane formed on the surface of the sea. At this time, above the turbulent ocean with the sea water and the turbidity waves emptying, the only hope for people is that the "Fuxi" giant ship carefully designed and built by the Chinese people can withstand this test.
Many people on the ship couldn't stand the torture of being swept up into the sky by the waves and falling like kites with broken strings, and began to vomit. The sea water and torrential rain constantly hit the observation window, and the sky and the sea were so cloudy that it was impossible to distinguish the front and back. But the strange thing is that although the wind and waves are very strong, there is no such howl as the dragon's roar in the air just now. The sky is raining like a note, the sea surface is undulating, the "Fuxi" is full of dangers in this fierce wind and waves, floating and shaking, constantly being pushed to the bottom of the waves, every second is full of danger, the sky is full of black clouds, dark and hazy, although it is day, but it is like a dark night, the lightning and thunder in the clouds, the sea water that has been boiled for a long time will not be calmed, and the captain of the ship, Colonel Cui Ding'an, has a lot of experience in piloting, and he is driving the huge ship through the stormy waves, and the people around him are fully assisted, so that the "Fuxi" is always in a critical juncture.
Worthy of the title of "unsinkable ship", the sturdy body of the "Fuxi" withstood the test, in such a terrible storm, this giant ship in the sea so stormy, the hull has always been safe and sound, and finally boiled until a ray of sunshine fell from the gap in the dark clouds, and after a while, the wind and waves gradually subsided, and the turbulent sea gradually returned to calm.
Chu Yangwei turned his head to look at the observation window behind him, and when he saw the figures of the two battleships "Spring and Autumn" and "Warring States", he let out a long breath.
"When I go back, I have to give credit to the designers and workers of the shipyard." Chu Yangwei sighed, "It's all a good ship!" With such a big storm, I was stunned to survive. ”
Only then did Chu Yangwei feel that the bones in his whole body were almost scattered, and he looked around, everyone looked exhausted.
"Lao Chen, they don't know where they are going." Zhang Enming gasped and said.
Just as he finished speaking, a whistle suddenly sounded on the sea in the distance.
"It's coming!" Chu Yangwei shouted excitedly, ran out of the command tower quickly, came to the bridge, and raised the binoculars.
Sure enough, in the telescope, the majestic figure of the battleship "Chiyou" appeared.
"How did they come so quickly?" Zhang Enming asked with some surprise.
"I guess it was the effect of the ocean current just now, we looked at the elephant and didn't move the place, but in fact, it went with the current, running faster than usual." Chu Yangwei put down the binoculars and said, "They are the same, but the direction should be opposite to ours, so they can come over so quickly." ”
"It's unimaginable!" Thinking of the thrilling scene he experienced just now, Zhang Enming still had palpitations.
The two Chinese battlefleets converged, and for a time the momentum was great.
"In the wind and waves just now, our ships all survived, and none of them were lost." After re-completing the formation, Chu Yangwei was very happy to learn that none of the [***] ships had been lost.
"I don't know what will happen to me, hehe." Zhang Enming smiled and nodded.
"I guess it should have been very cool just now." Chu Yangwei smiled, "Now, it's time for us to think about how to entertain them well." ”
Battleship "Yamato", bridge.
"Has the loss been reported?"
Yamamoto asked in a hoarse voice as he spat out the last mouthful of gastric juice mixed with bitter bile.
"The battleships 'Kaga' and 'Tosa' have sunk, and the chief ......," replied the chief of staff, Rear Admiral Ugaki, in a deep voice.
Yamamoto Fifty-six stood up expressionlessly and walked towards the chart table, although he seemed calm on the surface, judging from the slight stumbling he had just made, his heart should be very painful at this time.
At that time, among the superstitious officers and men of the lower ranks of the Tsumoto Navy, some people thought that the names "Kaga" and "Tosa" were unlucky, but the top brass of the Tsumoto did not believe in evil and used these two names on the two newly-built "Nagato" class follow-up ships.
"Isn't the problem of the high center of gravity of the 'Nagato' class battleship remodeled? Why is this happening......" Yamamoto Isoroku asked.
"The storm just now was so great that the two ships accidentally collided to avoid the whirlpool...... Rear Admiral Ugaki replied.
"How are the officers and soldiers who fell into the water? Did you save it? Yamamoto fifty-six coughed heavily, and then asked.
"No...... You know...... In that case, the ships would not be able to rescue at all......" Rear Admiral Ugaki's voice lowered.
"yes...... It's the first time I've encountered a storm like that...... "Yamamoto Fifty-six sighed, "People, in front of nature, are really very fragile......"
Listening to Yamamoto Fifty-six's sigh, the staff remembered the experience just now, and they all fought a cold war in unison.
