Chapter 646 Going through the city gate? I won't allow it!
The massive hull of the Blue slowly traced a huge arc, its enormous wake churning and roaring behind it like a boiling white python.
Instead of charging at the "Sea Eagle" again, it slowed down its pace on the sea about a nautical mile away from the "Sea Eagle".
The massive ship, like a newly formed, coldly hostile steel island, lay across the dark sea. All the lights were focused on the area where the P2V-7U had crashed, and several small boats, like sharks smelling blood, were rushing toward the surface of wreckage and oil.
After dropping off the small boats, the Blue simply turned around, reversed, and left the area.
"What the hell? What are they trying to do?"
The gunner, still busy on deck, pointed at the pile of small boats and shouted, "Captain! Look, what are they going to do?"
"Damn, is that even a question? This is the loot they stole from us!"
Liu Huaqing then thought of what his naval superior had mentioned: This plane was requested by that little idiot! His own large warship would end up in his hands...
At that moment, the idea of perishing together with DD-744 was also put out of their minds.
Well, we can't not launch it either. That bastard is too fast. The engine room of our minesweeper is already smoking. If this continues, we'll probably end up with nothing.
Judging from the actions of the bald eagle, there must be something they desire on that P2V-7U! If they can seize the plane first, the enemy destroyer should be hesitant to act, and they can then engage in a protracted struggle with the enemy.
Good! Before "Airborne Early Warning and Control System No. 1" left, it said that the base's "Four Great Kings" had come out to provide support. As long as the support arrives, I can go find that little idiot and play with a big ship!
"Attention all personnel! The Blue is illegally salvaging our spoils! Mission unchanged! Full speed ahead! Charge into the core area! They salvage, we salvage too! What we salvage is ours! Remember, we are on Chinese sea! Not an inch can be ceded!"
The old diesel engine of the "Sea Eagle" roared with a near-tearing, highest-pitched sound thanks to the tireless efforts of the engine room crew!
The hull trembled violently, and the bow stubbornly rose, like an indomitable rider urging a weary warhorse, heading headlong into the still surging wake of the colossal beast, the Blue, towards the core sea area floating with wreckage and oil, now filled with the heavy smell of gunpowder and the atmosphere of sovereignty disputes, without hesitation!
"Captain! DD-744 continues to withdraw from the area! They have now retreated beyond the twelve-dash line!"
During the rapid advance, radar operator Xiao Zhao made a new discovery and quickly pointed it out to Liu Huaqing on the radar screen.
"Hmm? What exactly are they planning..."
"Never mind! A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush! Charge in! Stop their boats!"
…………
Thirty minutes ago.
The crew of the P2V-7U narrowly escaped the wake attack caused by the DD-744 and were exhausted, lying on the fuselage panting heavily.
"I can't go on, Captain! I'm going to die! I'm so hungry I have no strength left! I need to rest, I need to rest a bit!"
The company commander was also exhausted; it was a miracle he could even move that heavy machine weighing over 100 kilograms...
It's impossible to scroll, it's completely impossible to scroll...
The navigator opened the first-aid kit that "Airborne Early Warning and Control System No. 1" had thrown down for them, rummaged around inside, and surprisingly pulled out a self-heating food packet.
“There’s food!”
I turned on the flashlight and looked at the handwritten label clipped to it.
"Hey, are the people over there this advanced now? They just mix in seawater and they can get a bowl of hot noodles?"
"Popular?"
"Popular?"
Do you know how appealing the adjective "steaming hot" is to this group of people who have been soaking in the seawater for half a day and are both cold and hungry?
"Snap... snap..." The sounds of tearing open the oil paper package filled the air.
Five minutes later, the navigator swallowed a mouthful of hot soup, and tears like noodles streamed down his face: "Waaah... I heard from people who participated in the battle that a cook on the other side used a basket of steaming buns to persuade an entire company of our troops to defect. I thought it was too far-fetched."
"If there were another pack like that now, I'd immediately tell all my comrades they'd be willing!"
"Mmmmmmm..."
The crew members nodded in agreement, until...
"Hey! The Bald Eagle destroyer is turning around!"
"Oh no! Their ship's bow gun is aimed at that minesweeper!"
"Oh no! They've opened fire!"
"That minesweeper is doomed!"
"Oh, thank goodness, thank goodness, it was fired at the right open space..."
"Holy crap! That ship is coming straight at us again..."
The terrified crew members prepared to row the plane to avoid DD-744's flight path.
"Damn it, there are no good people in the Bald Eagles! Company Commander, talk to that minesweeper and tell them to pick us up. We can't let the Bald Eagles play tricks on us like this!"
"Wait, he launched the small boat? Company commander, look, they're still sending out light signals... SOS, are they here to pick us up?"
"What the hell! Just row!"
"Squad leader, are you determined to defect to the other side?"
"Hmph! You've seen how the Bald Eagles treat prisoners of war back at our base! What good can come of falling into their hands?"
"Would they throw us food like the other side would? Would they, like the other side, shield us from being implicated and use their small bodies to carry the enemy's large ships? If they catch us, they'll probably just throw us into the ship's hold! Then they'll take us back to their base in Japan and use our identities to blackmail our superiors..."
Yes, the reputation of the United States in East Asia is indeed not good now, especially their behavior of acting as an emperor over Japan, which has caused many Taiwanese who had fled to Japan to come back.
"Hurry up and row! Look, that minesweeper is coming to pick us up!"
Thus, the current battlefield presents a comical situation.
On one side, several people were frantically navigating the plane, trying to get it away from the approaching Bald Eagle Marines; on the other side, the Marines were cursing these people for causing them trouble, saying that no one being rescued was desperately trying to escape their rescuers...
In the end, it was our "Sea Eagle" that beat us to the punch and cut between the two.
The gunner grinned maliciously as he pulled the pin on his 25mm autocannon. "Damn it, we couldn't hit you from the ship. Now that we're off board, I'll have to have some fun..."
"Wait!" Liu Huaqing keenly noticed that these Ma Runs did not have any firearms.
"Hiss... Fighting without guns? What are these bald eagles up to?"
"Captain! DD-744 has once again breached our twelve-dash line!"
Liu Huaqing looked up and, sure enough, the large ship opposite them had once again sailed arrogantly to a distance of one nautical mile, except that the cannons that were originally aimed at them were now tilted upwards.
"Bang bang..."
The anti-aircraft machine guns on the large ship fired two shots, and then the searchlights on the destroyer shone demonstratively on the P2V-7U.
"Oh...they're using this plane as a competition between us?"
"Gunner! Get out of the gunnery and take a few brothers in a small boat to have a go at those Bald Eagles!"
Sure enough, after the order was given, the large ship saw the actions of the soldiers on the minesweeper and began to reverse again, brazenly withdrawing from our twelve-dash line.
"Hmph! You son of a bitch, going back and forth through the city gates?"
Liu Huaqing pointed at the helmsman and radar operator Xiao Zhao: "You two go together! Helmsman, haven't you been bragging to me about your amazing ground-sweeping skills? Go show those bald eagles what you're made of!"
"Xiao Zhao, you're going too!"
The helmsman handed the helm to Liu Huaqing, rubbed his hands together, and said excitedly, "Captain, just you wait and see! I'll make sure they get their ass kicked!"
……
As Liu Huaqing watched his comrades eagerly jump onto the rubber boat and paddle towards the group of Bald Eagles and Ma Run, a smile appeared on his lips.
"Come and go as you please? I! Will! Not! Agree!"
Liu Huaqing fumbled for the detonator left behind by the gunner, a broad smile spreading across his face...
