On the deck that was filled with the smell of sea, the strong black man next to Wei Ran was stunned when he looked at the colorful fountain rising into the sky in the distance, and then stuffed all the potato pieces he had just received into his pocket as quickly as possible.

, put on the helmet again.

At the same time, Wei Ran also hung the sling of the double-mounted Oerlikon in front of him around his buttocks, and tightened the heavy body armor that he had just put on his body haphazardly.

At this moment, the jeep aircraft carriers escorted by this ship diagonally in front also began to turn. Immediately afterwards, he noticed that the ship under his feet was turning, speeding up and rushing out of the formation!

Just as he took out the flyback watch fixed with the compass from the metal book, thick smoke began to billow from the destroyer's chimney!

The smoke started... If this ship is the Johnston, then it should be... well... between six fifty-five and seven o'clock.

While Wei Ran was humming, he adjusted the flyback watch in his hand to 6:57 and started winding it.

While he was busy here, the sturdy black man next to him was still stuffing hot fried potato cubes into his mouth, but his attention was all on the sea, guarding against possible dangers.

A torpedo fired by a submarine.

Look at the soldier on the other side. He is patrolling the high altitude intently, in case the enemy aircraft that cannot be seen visually makes a low-altitude dive.

Looking further away, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Wei Ran took off his helmet as a cover, took out the camera bag as quickly as possible, and took out Robert's camera with a wide-angle lens from it, and at the same time, he took out the Robert camera with a wide-angle lens as quickly as possible.

The camera bag was recovered.

Almost at the front and rear, the destroyer underfoot, which was responsible for pulling smoke to conceal its whereabouts, began to turn again and move in a zigzag line.

It was a rare opportunity. Wei Ran put on his helmet indiscriminately, held the twin cannons in one hand, and held up the camera in the other. He turned around and took a photo of the destroyer, and then aimed at the fleet he was protecting and pressed the button

shutter.

Naturally, his small movements did not attract the attention of the two soldiers. However, Wei Ran, who had completed his daily candid shooting mission, did not take back the camera. Instead, he wrapped it with a hood and stuffed it with some fried potatoes.

gas mask bag.

"Victor, what are you looking for? Tobacco?" the black man who had already eaten all the potatoes given to him asked loudly and curiously.

"Find my mask!"

Wei Ran shouted, took out the hood with a piece of fried potato stuck on it from the mask bag and shook it towards the opponent, then put it on slowly and put the helmet back on.

Under the gaze of the black soldier, he took out a pair of rimless goggles from the side of his body armor and put them on his face.

Compared to him who was wearing no protective gear, the strong black man was much more handsome. Not only was he not wearing a bulletproof vest, but the sleeves of the tattered blue uniform were torn off.

Yes, there were three US military-style water bottles hanging side by side on his lower back.

The only thing he wears according to regulations is the rimless goggles on his face - after all, these things can really block the sea breeze and splashing water in his face.

"Don't you think it's too heavy?" the black man tapped Wei Ran's body armor and asked loudly.

"Don't you think it's heavy?" Wei Ran pointed at the opponent's lower back.

"Of course it's not too heavy!"

While the black soldier was talking, he actually took off a kettle and threw it to Wei Ran. He winked and shouted loudly, "If you don't mind the weight, I'll give it to you!"

"Thanks!"

Wei Ran happily took the kettle, and when he turned the lid, he immediately smelled the smell of beer, and at the same time, thick white foam emerged from the spout.

Wei Ran screwed on the pot lid as quickly as possible. When Wei Ran turned to look at the other party, the latter patted his lower back proudly, "Keep it! I have a lot more! Thank you for the chewing gum!"

"Thank you for the mouthwash, too!" Wei Ran responded loudly and hung the kettle on his belt greedily.

The two rats at the bottom of the fleet were busy exchanging snacks in front of the formation. The destroyer under their feet was also speeding up and performing zigzag maneuvers. By the way, it also left a thick line on the sea that was enough to obscure the enemy's sight.

smokescreen!

At the same time, the fleet behind them, which had begun to move towards a cloud and rain area in the far distance, also launched a large number of carrier-based aircraft. Amidst the hum of the propellers, they rushed towards the destroyer that was far away from Wei Ran and others without hesitation.

Enemy ships getting closer!

Compared with the series of actions on their side, the enemies who could hardly see clearly also fired dense shells one after another. From time to time, water columns exploded around the destroyer!

As Wei Ran took out the flyback watch from his mask bag and watched the time anxiously, after the destroyer sailed at high speed for almost 15 minutes, the main guns on the deck finally fired!

Amidst the rumbling sound of cannons, the smoke and shock waves made Wei Ran, who was participating in a naval battle for the first time, subconsciously open his mouth. But even so, his ears were only filled with the roar of cannons, and in his field of vision, except for

Apart from the thick smoke and the friendly carrier-based aircraft flying overhead, it was almost impossible to see the shadowy enemy ships in the distance.

Looking at the twin-mounted 20mm cannon he was responsible for, Weiran couldn't help but shake his head. He just estimated that they are now at least more than ten kilometers away from the local ships. This is very difficult for this destroyer.

The main gun is already within range.

But for the cannon he was in charge of, it was a far distance that could not be reached even by projectiles - even though the destroyer that kept firing had been trying to close the distance between the two sides amidst the enemy's straddle-fire artillery!

Invisibly, he also became a bystander riding on the verge of death, but unable to help at all.

Under his nervous gaze, and with the hands of the flyback watch that he took out from time to time beating slowly, the intensive bombardment and advance never stopped. But in his field of vision, the enemy fleet became increasingly clear, and the surroundings were surrounded by

There are more and more water jets rising from the cannonballs!

But compared to these, Wei Ran was horrified to find that he seemed to be getting seasick! This was something he had never encountered before!

Yu Wang resisted vomiting, Wei Ran put his hand into the mask bag, first put away the return watch, then took out the camera wrapped in the hood, pointed at the torpedo tube that was releasing torpedoes in the distance, and pressed

The shutter barely recorded the moment when the torpedo took off.

After firing out the torpedo, the destroyer, which had almost reached the highest speed and almost the closest distance, finally began to take an evasive route and hid in the slightly pungent smoke.

Almost at the same time, Wei Ran also vomited out all the fried pork chops and fruits that he had managed to eat with a "vomit!"

But at this time, the water jets exploding densely around him, and the water splashing on his head and body from time to time, perfectly concealed the embarrassment of a rookie like him. Even the vomit stained on the cannons,

Everything was washed away in the blink of an eye.

After pressing the camera in the mask bag, Wei Ran felt increasingly uneasy.

Before entering this fragment of history, he found a detailed battle process with the help of Xia Shushi. But the more he did, the clearer he became about what was going to happen next. For him, the person he was responsible for was irrelevant.

In terms of the position, it is becoming more and more painful.

But whether he wanted it or not, no matter how much sense of security the smoke that filled his body brought him, about ten minutes after the torpedo was fired, accompanied by three explosions that almost deafened his ears and a tremor that made the soles of his feet numb, three shells

It still hit the port side of this destroyer!

Almost instantly, Wei Ran felt that the destroyer's speed suddenly stagnated, as if it was being grasped by a big hand and lost its previous momentum!

"It's been shot! We've been shot!" the black man next to Wei Ran shouted, while looking left and right to find the location where the destroyer was shot.

"Hide it!" Wei Ran shouted to remind the other party, and at the same time, his inner uneasiness became more and more serious!

"Don't be afraid!" The black soldier showed his big white teeth, "The shell just hit..."

"Boom boom boom!"

Before he could finish his words, there were three more violent explosions and accompanying tremors, and billowing smoke and fire appeared around the bridge above their heads behind them!

In this explosion that was almost a few feet away, the flying shrapnel and broken steel finally caused huge casualties to this brave little boat.

Even if Wei Ran was prepared for this, he would inevitably be frightened when he saw the scratches on the cannon caused by shrapnel or other splashes, as well as the crashed reentry machine, and then touched the back of the body armor.

Seeing the damage, he subconsciously looked at the black man next to him who had given him beer.

It's a pity that this unlucky guy who didn't have to be afraid of Wei Ran just a second ago, now most of his body is gone, and his thigh doesn't know where it went. The hideous wound on the left side of his ribs also makes his organs flow.

All over the floor, but his dark face, still stained with some fried potatoes, still retained the optimistic smile he had when he spoke just now.

Look at the soldier on the other side who was stuck underneath by the cracked hatch. After a brief moment of daze, Wei Ran decisively left the useless Oerlikon cannon and resisted the effects of seasickness.

Feeling dizzy and uncomfortable, he rushed towards the injured sailors on the front deck without hesitation.

Almost at the same time, the destroyer, which had begun to slow down due to the previous shelling, also happened to pass through the thick smoke and sail into the sea shrouded in heavy rain.

Soon, a rapid whistle and a slightly hoarse shout sounded on the deck, and the surviving and uninjured soldiers were gathered together to begin damage control operations in the rain.

"Moose! Your team is responsible for cleaning the deck!" Under the rain, an unknown voice gave the order.

"Come with me!"

A man with a deep voice who was almost born to be a tenor shouted loudly and led a group of people past Wei Ran.

At the same time, Wei Ran also helped a soldier whose calf had been blown off to stop the bleeding with his belt, then picked him up and followed the stretcher bearer soldiers in the distance into the cabin.

After putting down the wounded and grabbing two medical kits, Wei Ran obtained a helmet with a red cross from the corpse of a medical soldier, and then took advantage of the chaos to join the medical rescue team.

Thanks to this adequate preparation, he knew clearly that the round of bombardment not only took away the lives of a large number of sailors on the deck, but also caused the destroyer's captain Evans Nakahashi to lose two strings in his left hand.

Fingers.

And the reason why he endured the discomfort caused by seasickness and changed his identity as a medic was to get as close to the bridge as possible to find Captain Evans!

However, before he could find a chance to enter the bridge, the destroyer frigate, which had to hide in the cloud and rain area for repairs after many dangers, opened fire again as recorded in history!

Immediately afterwards, the destroyer began to turn again. Wei Ran, who was shaken and almost unsteady, was also blasted to the deck by a sergeant major who rushed down from the bridge to continue rescuing the wounded.

Although he had no chance to see Captain Evans, this time he met the sturdy sailor nicknamed Moose who had just hurried past.

This sailor is only about 1.75 meters tall. He wears a loose helmet with no laces on his head. His lower body is a pair of blue coarse trousers. His upper body is a dirty T-shirt and the same style as Weiran.

Body armor.

Although he is not as tall as Wei Ran, his arms are as strong as a bodybuilder's.

Not only that, Wei Ran also saw a crossed Indian tomahawk tattoo on one of his arms. Unfortunately, not only did he also wear frameless goggles on his face, but he also wore a fireproof mask like Wei Ran, so
To be continued...
