Chapter 40 Fierce Battle in the Harbor (2)
Gu Kai made various excuses, but in the end, Johnson and Morgan, two tall foreigners, boarded the iron-hulled fishing boat numbered "Yu 02" in an almost suspended position. The Executive Committee has long promulgated the "Special Wartime Regulations", which clearly stipulates that all personnel should obey the unified command of the Military and Police Department during wartime, even members of the Executive Committee are no exception.
Seeing the way Gu Kai was fighting, everyone on the ship knew that it was unrealistic to expect him to supervise the operation as a member of the executive committee. They could only hope that he could at least complete the translation work and not let the commander on the ship The system has problems because of the language barrier.
However, the morale on the ship did not become low because of this, because just before sailing, a girl rushed onto the ship.
This small girl with a round face did not flinch after being stopped by members of the military and police department who were armed with live ammunition. Instead, she loudly stated her identity and purpose: "I am Luo Wudan, a reporter from the propaganda team under the Ministry of Information Industry. During the war, I am a war reporter, please let me on board!”
In fact, many people present know or have heard of this little girl with a straightforward personality, and the name "Luo Wudan" is no stranger to her. There is a special "Daily Current Affairs" section on the forum. Most of the content is news and photo drafts about some projects under construction or group activities, and 90% of these drafts are signed "Reporter Luo Wudan is reporting for you on the spot." ". It is said that Luo Wudan worked as an entertainment reporter for several years before time travel, so she took the initiative to sign up to join the publicity team after time travel. Moreover, she is currently the only permanent employee in this department, and the others are all part-time or temporary guest writers. Thanks to her rich work experience, she can actually support the work of this department alone.
After Yue Zhiyun found out, he briefly discussed it with Gu Kai and the two foreign commanders, and finally agreed to Luo Wudan's application to board the ship. Now that the time has come, there is no time to let the boat park on the shore and argue over such trivial matters. But Yue Zhiyun still very cautiously asked the foreigner to send two people to protect the little girl. After all, swords and guns have no eyesight. When the fight comes later, it will be up to fate, and it will not make any difference just because she is a weak woman.
With such a brave girl taking the initiative to join, the morale of the entire ship seemed to have been significantly improved. Even Gu Kai, who was scared to death a few minutes ago, could barely stand up straight at this time - he didn't want to himself His cowardice was recorded on the DV in Luo Wudan's hand, and it became the latest joke on the forum tomorrow.
When "Yu 02" was heading towards the opponent's fleet, it also encountered early fire from the opponent. Since the command system on the ship here was not so smooth, the members fired back one after another before getting the order to "fire", which made the two foreigners yell to stop.
From the moment there was a noise from the opposite side, Gu Kai carefully pressed his helmet tightly with both hands and sat on the deck with his back against the side of the ship, not daring to stick his head out to check the situation. But Luo Wudan was kneeling on one leg, holding the side of the boat with one hand to stabilize his body, and holding the DV high with the other hand to record the battle as much as possible.
At the beginning, Yue Zhiyun did not have the idea of directly ramming his opponent with his boat, but the boats following behind him were hurriedly changing directions, and one of them happened to be blocking the direction of "Yu 02". This is the narrowest part of Victory Port. If "Yu 02" adjusts its direction to avoid its opponent at this time, it is likely to run aground directly. Yue Zhiyun hesitated for a moment, then pulled the whistle to warn the people on the deck.
Luo Wudan, who had been staring at the situation ahead on the deck, was the first to notice that the situation was not good. He quickly shouted and asked the members who were still shooting at the large ship that had sailed past to grab something that could stabilize their bodies.
After a "bang" sound, the nearly 100-ton iron-hulled fishing boat couldn't help but shake a few times from side to side, and then there were continuous clicks of wood breaking from the bow.
The small sailboat that "Yu 02" collided with was only half as long as itself at most. In the collision just now, the collision angle of the bow of "Yu 02" severely hit the other party's stern, and the entire stern together with the rudder Almost at the same time, it turned into a pile of wood fragments on the sea. A large amount of seawater immediately began to pour in from the broken place, and soon the bow of the small sailboat was tilted out of the water. People on the deck of the boat screamed and rushed to the bow, as if doing so would delay the sinking of the boat.
"Crash! Crash these bastards!" Gu Kai stood up tremblingly and found that the other party's ship had suffered heavy damage, and he couldn't help but yell.
This collision naturally caused no damage to the iron-shelled fishing boat. The hull only paused for a moment before continuing to sail straight forward.
"You did a good job just now!" Yue Zhiyun, who was still in shock, heard the praise from a friend on another ship through the intercom.
"What to do next?" Yue Zhiyun, who had won his first victory, felt a little overwhelmed and quickly turned to the walkie-talkie as his savior.
"Slow down, turn around, and charge again. Remember, try to hit the boat first." The voice on the other end of the intercom has been replaced by Tom Wang. It seems that the result of this battle just now has restored the power of Tom Wang's collision angle. confidence. The two iron-hulled fishing boats completed the U-turn outside the harbor, and then rushed back to Victory Port at full power. At this time, the opponent's fleet made an extremely stupid decision - leaving two small boats to rescue the crew of the crashed ship, while the remaining two, one large and one small, continued to rush straight to the port.
With the speed difference between the two sides nearly doubling, this desperate charge was destined to be fruitless. What's more terrible is that they exposed the most vulnerable stern of the ship to the two evil stars chasing from behind. The navigation skills The most sophisticated Wang Tom believed that even if he was in such a situation, he would not be able to escape the fate of being raped.
The two iron-hulled fishing boats first hit the two small boats that had stopped to rescue their accomplices, one on the left and the other on the right. One side was directly hit by the angle, and the damage to the stern of the boat was even greater than that of the first boat that was hit. The luck of the other sailboat was slightly better, but the waterline of the ship's ribs was still hit by the iron-shelled fishing boat, leaving a large hole. At the same time, the armed men on the deck held guns and fired at the opponent's deck for nearly half of the time. Minutes of coverage shooting. After such a close fire attack, except for the mast, nothing could stand up on the opponent's deck. Sun Changmi, who was at the helm in the cab, could even hear the screams coming from the sailboat. Wails.
After completing the collision, the iron-shell fishing boat continued to pursue forward. At this time, the three ships in front are still far away from the port terminal, but they are closer to the pursuers. I am afraid that they will be overtaken before the ships reach the shore. Apparently, the people on the sailboat in front have also realized this. At this point, the three ships began to adjust their directions, as if they wanted to complete a U-turn in the harbor and then escape quickly. But this plan was obviously unrealistic. The two iron-shell fishing boats were not ready to give up. Each of them focused on a nearby target and refused to let go.
In the remaining time, five ships played a cat-catching game in the Victory Harbor. The two iron-hulled fishing boats, which had an absolute advantage in maneuverability, lived up to their expectations and quickly damaged another small boat, causing it to Loss of mobility. After one of the large ships completed the U-turn, it was directly forced by Yue Zhiyun's ship and ran aground on the sandbank on the east bank of the Tiandu River estuary.
Before the last ship rushed out of the harbor, it was blocked by two iron-hulled fishing boats from one left to right. Seeing that the situation was over, the people on the ship decisively gave up resistance, and the people on the deck shouted "Spare your life" , while lowering the sails and stopping the ship to show surrender.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the two iron-hulled fishing boats turned on their searchlights and aimed them at the blocked ship, making the movements of everyone on the deck invisible. Heavily armed soldiers boarded the ship from both sides of the ship, tied up the dejected crew members one by one with straps, and at the same time collected various weapons scattered on the deck.
Gu Kai, who had already boldly walked to the deck to watch the battle, noticed that in addition to some of these people who were obviously Mingren in appearance and attire, there were also some dark-skinned Southeast Asian faces, and there were even a few with " "Tsukiyoto" Japanese Ronin. It is obvious that this is a mixed pirate force composed of people from different regions.
"Look, there's actually nothing to be afraid of." At some point, Luo Wudan, holding a DV, walked up to Gu Kai, and the camera focused on the pirate crew members on another ship who were kneeling on the ground.
Gu Kai coughed dryly and said righteously: "Who is afraid? I have never doubted that our power can crush all enemies in this era!"
Luo Wudan sneered and pointed to the DV in his other hand: "I just videotaped the whole process. I hope your wife won't laugh at you when she sees it."
"Whatever conditions you have, we can discuss them." Gu Kai softened without hesitation, and he was so unruly as to be a lawyer.
"Before I traveled through time, I submitted a report to the executive committee regarding the establishment of a news agency. Now it's been seven years since the Apocalypse. I would like to ask when will it be approved?" Luo Wudan was also prepared and immediately put forward the conditions.
"I will help you urge it tomorrow, approve it as soon as possible, approve it as soon as possible." Gu Kai responded with some guilt.
In fact, he was the first to propose strict control over news reports at the executive committee. Doing so could effectively control public opinion in the early stages of time travel and prevent the spread of certain liberal ideas. Also voting in favor of this was Luo Wudan's boss, Meng He. He believed that there was no need to set up a special agency for this purpose in the early stages of time travel. Doing so would only unnecessarily increase the bloat of the bureaucracy. Now we only need to set up a subordinate unit in the Ministry of Information Industry, which can come in handy when necessary, such as helping leaders take commemorative photos when the project is completed and accepted.
Gu Kai thought maliciously whether he should tell Luo Wudan about Meng He's opinion, maybe this straightforward little girl would cause trouble for Meng He. When he was hesitating about this, the walkie-talkie hanging on his waist rang: "I am Tao Donglai. We have arrived at Base No. 1. What is the situation at sea now?"
