Accompanied by the sound of explosions, shouts of "hurry up and put out the fire" came from outside the cabin, and the Japanese shells contained incendiary agents in their charges, which would burn when they hit the target. Lin Fei's heart suddenly, at this time it was a race against time, the shells of the Japanese ship had already hit the stern, maybe the next shell would directly hit the torpedo compartment, these three black-headed torpedoes, each of them was filled with twenty-five kilograms of nitrocellulose explosives, and the three torpedoes had a total of seventy-five kilograms of explosives!

The destructive power of nitrocellulose explosives in this era cannot catch up with the mixed explosives of Black Sorkin and TNT in their own era, but the torpedo compartment is located near the waterline of the Zhiyuan ship, and once it explodes, a large amount of seawater will pour into the Zhiyuan ship.

Lin Fei didn't have time to think about it, he reached out and pushed heavily on the shoulder of the launcher, the launcher staggered back a few steps, Lin Yuan grabbed the launch wrench, pressed down with all his strength, the high-pressure air valve was immediately opened, only to hear a "boom", the high-pressure air rushed into the launch tube, pushing the torpedo out of the restraint of the stopper, falling into the water like a vigorous flying fish, splashing a large wave.

The four people in the torpedo compartment were stunned, and the launcher said to Lin Fei in a trembling voice: "Lord Liu launched the torpedo without giving an order, and those who acted without permission and did not obey military orders were immediately killed!" Gun Chief, you're going to be headed......"

Lin Fei glanced at the launcher and said, "I can't care so much, if you want to live, listen to me, come and help me launch the next torpedo!" After Lin Fei finished speaking, he ignored the stunned Qing army sailors, rushed to the side of the torpedo rail car, stretched out his hand to release the rail car's stopper, and pushed the rail car near the launch tube.

As soon as Lin Fei pushed the rail car, he heard Liu Daming's voice behind him: "Lin Fei, I saw you launch a torpedo!" What are you doing? Let go of the railcar, or I'll shoot you!" ”

Lin Fei looked back and found that Liu Daming was holding a revolver in his hand, the muzzle of the gun was facing him, and the trick of "grabbing the gun with his bare hands" came into mind in an instant, Lin Fei shot like lightning, and Liu Daming found that the revolver had reached Lin Fei's hand before he understood what was going on.

Lin Fei grabbed the pistol and pointed his backhand at Liu Daming, and said loudly: "The Japanese artillery shells will hit here soon, let your people launch the torpedo immediately, quickly!" ”

Liu Daming was already stunned by Lin Fei's move of "grabbing the gun empty-handed", and he didn't react when he heard Lin Fei's words, but said in a daze: "Are you ...... How to put ...... Guns taken over? ”

Lin Fei roared sharply: "Hurry up and throw the torpedo out, it's too late!" ”

Liu Daming's eyes lit up, and he was furious, and said: "I understand, you are a spy of a little devil, and you are worried that our Zhiyuan ship will get close to you to launch torpedoes, so you want to throw all our torpedoes into the sea......"

Lin Fei thought secretly in his heart: "If I talk nonsense with you again, the shells of the Japanese ships are really coming, in order to prevent the torpedo explosion from hurting itself when there is an accident inside, modern warships have arranged an emergency torpedo ejection, which can throw the torpedo out of the ship in an instant, I don't know if there is one on the Zhiyuan ship." ”

Lin Fei looked at the end of the track while thinking, and sure enough, he saw that there was a fork leading to the bulkhead, and there was a hatch-like thing on the bulkhead, which had the words "emergency throw" written on it, Lin Fei pointed his gun at the old sailor, and said viciously: "Open the emergency throw!" ”

The old sailor looked dazed, and didn't seem to understand Lin Fei's words, Lin Fei then remembered that in the Beiyang Fleet, the words related to the operation of warships were said in English, so Lin Fei replaced his words with English, the old sailor nodded and moved on the hatch, and the side suddenly opened a big opening, Lin Fei pulled the turnout, aimed the direction of the rail car out of the hatch, and then kicked the rail car, and the rail car made a "clang" sound, and fell into the sea from the hatch.

Lin Fei pointed to another rail car with his eyes, the old sailor understood, opened the hatch, Lin Fei walked over and kicked the rail car out again, watching the rail car fall into the sea with a torpedo, Lin Fei let out a sigh of relief, but at this moment, he only heard Liu Daming shouting behind him: "Shoot, shoot me, kill the spy Lin Fei for me!" ”

Lin Fei turned his head to look, only to see that several sailors with rifles had rushed into the torpedo compartment, and were raising the guns in their hands to face themselves, these sailors hated the Japanese army to the core, and heard that Lin Fei was a spy, and they wanted to shoot despite the fact that he was the gun commander.

Seeing that the fingers of the sailor with the gun had already pressed the trigger, as long as he used more force, the bullets would beat Lin Fei into a sieve, and at this critical moment, he only heard the piercing sound of shells breaking through the air from outside the cabin, and some shells went straight to the torpedo compartment! Lin Fei shouted at the top of his voice: "Get down!" Immediately, a tiger pounced and fell to the ground, although Liu Daming and the other sailors' reaction speed was far inferior to Lin Fei's, but it was not slow, and they fell to the ground when they heard Lin Fei's words.

Only heard a loud "bang", but there was no explosion, everyone looked up, only to see that there were two more big holes in the left bulkhead and the lower deck, it turned out that this shell was an armor-piercing projectile that would not explode, directly penetrating the torpedo bulkhead and the lower deck of the torpedo compartment, if Lin Fei did not push the torpedo out, this shell would just hit the torpedo, and the violent impact would inevitably cause the torpedo to explode!

Liu Daming and the others were stunned when they saw this scene, Lin Fei let out a sigh of relief, cold sweat flowed, and said in his heart: "It's so dangerous, the danger of the torpedo compartment has been lifted, and the top priority should be to prevent the torpedo of the little devil!" ”

Lin Fei jumped up on the ground when he thought of this, and said loudly: "Hurry up, follow me to the deck, and shoot the little devil's torpedo!" ”

Liu Daming stared at his eyes the size of a copper bell and said, "Hit the torpedo of the little devil? How to fight? ”

Lin Fei rushed out of the cabin and said, "Water gun!" ”

Liu Daming obviously didn't understand Lin Fei's words, and he shouted loudly while following Lin Fei out of the cabin: "How to shoot torpedoes with a water gun?" ”

Lin Fei said while going up the stairs: "The little devil's torpedo has neither a gyroscope nor a pendulum accelerometer on it, so the course control system is negligible, and if the torpedo does not have a course control system, the slightest disturbance from the outside world is enough to make it deviate!" I'm going to use a water gun to vew the torpedo! ”

Liu Daming asked in surprise, "What did you say?" What kind of ritual and what kind of plan is it? ”

Lin Fei thought to himself: "If I explain to you that the Zhiyuan ship will be sunk!" Lin Fei ignored him, rushed to the deck in a few steps, at this time the Japanese ship had realized the threat of the Zhiyuan ship, and concentrated its firepower to attack the Zhiyuan ship, the Japanese rapid-fire guns were numerous, and the rate of fire was as high as five shells per minute, the Zhiyuan ship was full of "whirring" shells flying over and "banging" water column splashing for a while, Lin Fei looked up at the Yoshino ship in the distance, raised his hand and quickly measured the distance with the jumping eye method - three hundred and fifty meters, considering the relative speed of the two ships, this is the perfect time for the Japanese ship to launch torpedoes.

At this time, the deck was full of red flames, the scorching flames roasted people's bodies, and the thick black smoke made people unable to open their eyes, in the thick smoke, several sailors were holding water guns, aiming at the flames on the deck, and the water guns sprayed out white water columns, pouring on the flames to make a "bang-la-la" sound.

Lin Fei half-knelt on the deck, lowered his body to avoid the flying shrapnel and thick black smoke, his eyes stared at the sea, the torpedoes of this era were propelled by high-pressure air as the power source, and the high-pressure air would form bubbles in the water, and these bubbles would form a long white belt when they surfaced, which was particularly dazzling on the blue sea.

This long white belt clearly indicates the trajectory of the torpedo, Lin Fei can find the underwater torpedo according to this long belt, at this moment, a white long belt appeared on the sea surface on the port side of the Zhiyuan ship, and at the last moment, Lin Fei frantically rushed to a sailor with a water gun!

"Give me the water gun, there's a torpedo!"

The sailor turned around and said, "Gunner, what did you say?" ”

Lin Fei pointed to the sea with his hand and shouted, "Didn't you see a torpedo there?" Hurry up and give me the water gun! ”

The sailor looked back at the sea, but unfortunately he did not understand the principle of the torpedo, and did not recognize the long white strip on the water as the track of the torpedo, so he turned his head back and continued to extinguish the fire with a water cannon.

At this moment, Liu Daming came out from below the deck, pointed at Lin Fei and shouted, "He is a spy!" Hurry up and arrest him. ”

Although Liu Daming's voice was loud, it was too noisy on the deck, and no one heard Liu Daming's words at all, so Liu Daming stopped shouting, rushed to Lin Fei in a few steps, and reached out to grab Lin Fei's collar, Lin Fei was engrossed in staring at the torpedo, and was caught by Liu Daming.

Lin Fei was also angry, thinking that he was desperately trying to save the Zhiyuan ship, not only did you not appreciate it, but you regarded yourself as a spy! Throw you into the sea first!

Lin Fei just wanted to grab Liu Daming's hand to fight back, and suddenly Deng Shichang's voice came from the ship: "A torpedo was found on the port side of our ship, and the right rudder is fifteen!" ”

Lin Fei knew that Deng Shichang's order to "right-hand rudder fifteen" was to turn the rudder fifteen degrees to the right to drive the Zhiyuan ship to turn around to avoid the torpedo, but the Zhiyuan ship had no tendency to turn at all, but continued to maintain the original course and rushed towards the Yoshino ship, Lin Fei was thinking about what was going on, and suddenly saw Deng Shichang running in his direction with a few sailors.

I only heard Deng Shichang shouting in the distance: "Liu Daming, Lin Fei, what are you doing?" Come and move the steering wheel with us! "It turns out that there are two sets of steering devices on the Zhiyuan ship, one hydraulic steering device, this set of devices is near the command tower on the bow of the Zhiyuan ship, Deng Shichang gives the steering command, the helmsman can steer, and the steering command is transmitted to the rudder surface of the stern through the guò hydraulic transmission amplification device; There is also a set of manual steering devices, located at the stern of the ship, which is the "steering wheel" in Deng Shichang's mouth.
