Chapter 41: Silver Star Medal, Onmyoji?!
At Akon's suggestion, Zhang Fan decided to go back to the vicinity of Iron Bottom Bay to see if there was anything cheap to fish, and this time the three of them decided not to use the 'Sigh of the Kirishima', except for the enemy battleships or aircraft carriers, of course. Instead, using the 'Zero Double Attack' sortie, it should be no problem to deal with a destroyer.
In fact, there are not many land battles on the island, with the props in hand, there are not many results that can be obtained. And there is also the danger of being shot cold. The only thing that can make the three of them profitable is the sea. Moreover, if the Japanese army can be greatly weakened at sea, it will be very advantageous for land battles. Moreover, the three of them have small targets at sea, as long as they pick a quiet moonlit night to go on a safari, they can hit and run, and there is basically no danger.
Such a low-risk, high-reward thing can Akon not think of?
However, perhaps the good use of the three of them has run out, and for a few days in a row, it will either be stormy at sea, or nothing will be found.
On 30 September, the U.S. military established a torpedo boat base on Tulagi Island ahead of schedule. Moreover, Admiral Nimitz, commander-in-chief of the US Navy, personally inspected Kuah Island and awarded medals to those who had made meritorious contributions.
Zhang Fan's reconnaissance team also got a Silver Star Medal, but the three of them already had this special item, which was of little use except for increasing the friendship of allies and the hatred of enemy troops.
Rare things are expensive, and other vow-holders can't think of things, but the three of them are too much. It's a pity that the exclusive props can't be sold, otherwise you will definitely get a lot of merit points.
However, it was also very exciting for the three of them to meet Admiral Nimitz, a famous maritime general of World War II, and to be awarded the medal by this famous general himself! Although according to the real merits of Zhang Fan and the three, they can receive a Medal of Freedom personally awarded by the current President of the United States, Roosevelt.
"So does this indicate that the Japanese shelling of Henderson Airport is about to be brought forward?!" Akon analyzed it and thought it was likely. After all, the three of them had already buried the battleship 'Kirishima' and six destroyers in advance, and the strength of the Japanese army had weakened, and the protracted war was not good for it.
On the evening of October 1, it was dark, as if a storm was brewing, but there was not a trace of wind at sea. Originally, in this kind of weather, Zhang Fan and the three of them would not act during the safety period. However, because the US military established a torpedo speedboat base on Tulagi Island in advance yesterday, and the Japanese shelling of Henderson Airport was the second day after the torpedo speedboat base was established. How could the three of them miss this situation!
That night, a small rubber boat quietly sailed into the Iron Bottom Bay and stopped quietly on the fairway. The dinghy has now been upgraded to a blue item as well:
'Full Water Kayah' (blue): A kayak that can travel in any water, even on swamps. You can use spiritual power as a power to drive, and consume 10 spiritual power per kilometer. Add 100 kg of storage space.
In fact, all the items that can be confirmed by Zhang Fan and the three of them are already at the blue level. This is the advantage of Zhang Fan Akon's strong cooperation!
The three of them sat quietly on the boat, resting with their backs together. Zhang Fan could feel that the breathing of the two of them was not very stable, and their heartbeats were relatively fast, so it seemed that they were a little nervous. But I was also sweating in my palms.
Tonight is the main moment that determines the development direction of this scene, just like the final exam, the results are good or bad, and tonight's performance is very important! It's up to you, 'Kirishima Sigh' dark gold prop, don't let us down!
Zhang Fan gently stretched out his hand and grabbed Green Wing's hand, Green Wing did not move, still sat quietly, but his hand also grabbed Zhang Fan tightly.
This moment, quiet and gentle.
As the minutes ticked by, the sky was still dark, the sea was still calm, and there was not a hint of wind. Zhang Fan enjoyed this quiet time before the war. The heart slowly calmed down.
Akon was also rare to be silent, as if he was asleep. This wise and resourceful boy always seems very calm when he gets down to business, just like the sea, confident and calm, and he doesn't know the depth. As soon as the matter was over, this guy returned to a cynical state, and he was not determined.
When the ripples on the first layer of water touched the dinghy, all three looked up and looked northwest.
"It's finally here." Zhang Fan muttered softly.
"It's really coming." Akon thought to himself.
Green Wing stroked his hair, his eyes solemn. It's not a battle she's good at, it's just a matter of pressing the button of the green prop cannon, but this makes her feel even more uncertain. If possible, she would rather draw her sword and charge!
When the first escort ship entered Zhang Fan's ultra-long-range field of vision, Zhang Fan put on the walkie-talkie on his back and held the signal flag in his hand. Until the bridge on which the tall battleship stood came into view. Zhang Fancai silently recited the sound Buddha. Then he concentrated, waved the signal flag, and shouted into the microphone: "Attack! ”
The three of them looked behind them and let out a long breath. A huge ghost ship glided silently from a short distance behind him, silent, windless, and waveless. The dinghy clinging to the trio glided past. Although it was the second time they had seen this scene, the great sense of fear still deeply shook the hearts of the three of them.
The three of them watched the battle scene through binoculars.
Instead of attacking immediately, the Ghost Giant slid to the side and took up the T-shaped crosshead position.
Three water ghost reconnaissance planes flew over the Japanese battleship fleet and dropped three flares, illuminating the sky over the fleet. I saw two majestic battleships slowly approaching. More than a dozen large and small escort ships in front and on both sides of the front occupied a large part of the sea area.
The ghost giant ship fired, and a salvo, 8 356 mm, 14 152 mm ghost shells flew towards the two battleships with a perfect trajectory!
At the same time as the water reconnaissance plane dropped the flares, the Japanese battleship panicked, and the escort destroyers exploring the way in front separated and flanked the ghost giant ship on both sides.
The ghost giant ship made a graceful turn, like a waltz on the sea, and passed through the middle of the four destroyers in front of it. Just evaded the best position of the shelling of the four destroyers, and entered the shooting blind spot. On the march, two torpedoes were fired in two directions, one at the only heavy cruiser in the fleet, and one at a destroyer that was turning. The torpedo is like a sinister giant shark in the sea, with a terrible trajectory, viciously pounced on the target!
At this time, the first shell had already accurately hit the Japanese battleship, and one of the battleships immediately fell into a sea of fire. The other was supposed to be the flagship to be protected, and when the cannonballs were about to land on the deck, a huge phantom pentagram with a white light stopped above the inevitable landing point of the cannonballs! More than a dozen ghost cannonballs swooped down at high speed, smashing heavily on the rising pentagram. The pentagram enchantment was like a bouncy spider web, and with a slight flick, the shell was intercepted, exploding a cloud of fireworks over the battleship!
Zhang Fan's face changed slightly, and he clearly saw that the shining pentagram was clearly composed of countless runes, and the runes slowly moved along the pentagram. The powerful explosion of the ghost cannonball did no damage to it!
And the initiator of the pentagram enchantment stood proudly on the bow of that battleship, dressed in white and crowned, and his clothes fluttering. Holding a jade pendant in his hand, it is shining.
"Who is it? Is it a vow-keeper? "Akon noticed the man's anomaly too." Impossible?! A high-level vow-holder with such skills shouldn't appear in a scene of such difficulty? ”
"Unlike the vow-bearer, the ring on the finger is not the right style, and there is more than one. Looking at his wide robe with big sleeves and high-crowned clogs, he looks like a Japanese senior onmyoji. Look at the runes embroidered on the edges of his white robe! Zhang Fan looked at it carefully and explained to Akon.
"That's right, the strange sinking of Japanese warships has been repeated recently, and supernatural events continue to occur. The Japanese nativist Onmyoji intervened! This is also because our prop is too strong, too much more than the difficulty of this scene, so the precept bearer Shijie is making the necessary balance. Akon quickly analyzed, "It looks like it's in trouble!" That guy is amazing! Fortunately, there is only one, I wonder what other means he has? ”
As the two were talking, the onmyoji connected the seal with both hands, and for a while seemed to have noticed the clue on Zhang Fan's side. Squinted his eyes and looked this way. Two slender eyes, with layers of light attached, shining! It seems to be able to penetrate the thick dark gaze, and it makes Akon's heart furious.
"Oh no, it's been discovered!" Akon shouted, "The wind is tight! ! "I was so anxious that I even used the incisions in the rivers and lakes.
Akon was about to start the rubber boat and slip away, but Zhang Fan didn't move, standing and staring ahead: "It's late!" ”
I saw that the onmyoji, with words in his mouth, held the jade pendant in one hand, grabbed it to the side with a glimmer of light in the other, and pulled it hard. I saw that the three domineering black characters 'King Kong' on the bow of the battleship were actually pulled up by him! Across the front!
The three big characters were all one story high, and they were lined up in front of them under the command of the onmyoji, who looked a little slender. Then he pushed hard, and shouted in his mouth: "Shijin! Ghost! Go! ”
The sound seemed to be amplified thousands of times, forming layers of sound waves, rolling straight towards Zhang Fan!
"What a big breath! Onions and garlic for your dinner! "Akon is unforgiving.
I saw those three big characters, twisted in the air, turning into three huge ghosts with green faces and fangs, huge hands and long feet, nails like knives, jumping off the bow of the ship, stepping on the sea, and rushing forward!
"Mom, what a ghost!" Akon screamed in fright.
"Quick! Nine-character mantra! Zhang Fan reminded loudly.
The three of them hurriedly sealed the seal, and each spelled in his mouth.
'The spirit dart unravels the heart and splits the heart';
'Those who are fighting are arrayed in front';
'Those who are fighting in the face of the battle are all marching in arrays'.
