Chapter 124 Victory(1/2)
The powerful 12.7mm machine gun can punch two rows of holes in the lifeboat when it hits it.
The seawater surges up through these holes!
Not long after, the water overflowed the side of the boat.
The dead sailors were rising and falling with the sea water.
The shark smelled the blood and swam over.
From time to time a shark would bite a carcass, and then more sharks would pounce on it.
A large living person was torn into pieces in an instant.
The sailors who fell into the water could not stay in the cold water for a few minutes before their bodies began to stiffen and twitch.
Soon, they left this world with weird smiles.
"Hurry up! Hurry up!
I won’t be able to catch it for a while!
These damn lousy pilots don’t even know how to leave me alive.”
Chen Siping put down his telescope and urged the first mate to speed up and go to the fighting waters to fish for people.
"No!" The first mate didn't dare to argue anymore.
Anyway, he is the captain. If he says to run away, he has to run away. If he says to come back to pick up people, then he has to come back to pick up people.
If you are a high-ranking official, you will be crushed to death. If you are honest, I will bully you!
The Youzhou sailed back again. When the Israeli sailors saw the Youzhou, they felt like they had seen a savior.
Not only did they not escape, they actually couldn't escape.
Instead, they rowed hard towards the Youzhou, and while rowing, they worked hard to make a piece of white cloth into a white flag for people to hold and wave.
"Let them take off their clothes, and then drag them up. Prepare the rope and tie them up one by one.
Tie it tightly so that no one can escape."
"Captain, why do you want them to take off their clothes?" The second-rate mate started to make mistakes again.
“Pig! Pig! Pig!
Pig, you!
What should I do if there are weapons hidden on my body? What should I do if there are grenades?" Chen Siping wanted to slap this bastard.
The hopeful Israeli sailors heard this extremely humiliating order.
Some people wailed, some cried bitterly. Some people picked up their pistols and fired at the battleship.
Wail, cry, no one cares about you.
But if you hold a pistol and shoot at the battleship, then it's your fault.
The 25mm rapid-fire cannon on the Youzhou immediately sprayed out blazing shells.
The 25mm rapid-fire gun was originally used for air defense, but now there is no obstacle to shooting at sea.
The poor Israeli sailor was shot by a 25mm shell and his body was completely shattered.
Those lifeboats, along with the sailors on them, were torn to pieces by powerful cannonballs.
The firepower on a battleship is much stronger than that of an airplane.
On the side of the destroyer, there are more than a dozen artillery pieces of various calibers, large and small.
"I'll fight you!" A sailor took out his pistol.
"What are you doing?" He abandoned Netanyahu's adjutant and rushed forward.
With both hands firmly grasping the revolver in the sailor's hand, several people around him reacted and joined the gun-fighting group.
A gunshot was fired, but fortunately no one was hurt.
Before the second shot was fired, the hammer was blocked by his finger.
The adjutant became anxious, grabbed the hand holding the gun and bit him.
"Ah!" The sailor screamed in pain and let go.
The adjutant seized the revolver and immediately threw it into the sea.
"Throw him down too!" Following the adjutant's order, several people grabbed the brave sailor and pushed him out of the lifeboat.
"Damn it, you don't want to live anymore, I still want to live."
The adjutant cursed, waved the white flag in his hand with one hand, and untied his belt with the other.
Soon, a boatload of naked Israeli sailors appeared in the lifeboat.
They were shivering with cold and looked at the arrogant Ming sailors on the battleship with pleading eyes.
"Pull them up!" Seeing that these people had taken off their clothes, Chen Siping ordered them to be pulled up.
In this battle, a battleship and a destroyer were sunk. In addition, more than a hundred prisoners were captured. With these achievements, at least one star can be raised on the shoulder.
Maybe...! Two stars.
When the main fleet returned, the sea was already in a mess.
Oil stains, broken hull wood, complete and incomplete corpses, and burning and sinking battleships...!
Occasionally, great white sharks can be seen biting the carcasses, and huge splashes of water rise from time to time on the sea surface.
Li Xiao and Li Xiu didn't speak. To a certain extent, this kind of battlefield was more cruel than the battlefield of land battles.
Especially the densely packed corpses of the sailors were like floating balls on the water.
Most people froze to death, or froze to death alive.
There was an extremely weird expression on his stiff face, some said he was laughing, some said he was crying.
Whether he was laughing or crying, no one could tell.
“I always felt that the fighting on the ground was brutal, with broken bodies and soil turned up by artillery fire.
The trenches are always filled with shell casings and various shell fragments.
Today it seems that the naval battle is also very cruel.
On the Guangzhou, the bodies of the brothers were retrieved by various means.
We are all Ming Dynasty people, and what we pay attention to is that fallen leaves return to their roots."
Li Xiao shook his head and sighed.
In this battle, the Israelis also tried their best.
From the beginning to the end, even if the Israeli warships were in desperate situation, not a single warship raised the white flag and surrendered.
Perhaps this is the last moment of integrity for the Hebrews.
The destination of sailors is the sea, and the tradition of naval officers and soldiers is to be buried at sea.
But since the commander had something to say, Li Xiu still sent out men to start looking for the bodies of the soldiers who fell into the water on the Guangzhou.
There were basically no survivors on board the Guangzhou because the explosion was so violent that the lifeboat had no time to lower it.
As for the sailors in the bottom cabin, they had no chance to escape.
The Guangzhou turned into a huge steel coffin and dragged them into the dark seabed.
In the end, after searching the entire sea, only more than thirty bodies were found. Half of them were still in dilapidated condition.
The remains of officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty can only be identified from their military uniforms.
In this battle, the entire Israeli navy was destroyed.
Four battleships were sunk, seven cruisers, and thirty-three destroyers.
Another six transport ships, because they were far away from the battlefield, were intercepted and surrendered.
After this battle, the entire Black Sea Fleet of Israel was destroyed.
"Commander, Commander, the Youzhou has accomplished a remarkable feat this time.
Not only did it attract the Israeli naval fleet to the predetermined battlefield, it also gave our army an advantage.
Moreover, he also took advantage of the darkness to sneak into the Israeli Navy's formation.
Use torpedo attacks to sink one enemy battleship and one destroyer each.
According to the prisoners' confessions, the battleship they sank should be the Israeli Navy's flagship Solomon.
The destroyer is the USS Perez!
Oh! By the way, they also captured 82 prisoners. Thirty-one of them were naval officers, and the adjutant of Israeli Navy Commander Netanyahu was also among them.
The information about the sinking of the Solomon was provided by him."
Chen Laohu reported excitedly that his family had made great contributions, and he still had a bit of glory on his face.
"Where is Netanyahu?" Li Xiao asked in a deep voice.
"According to his adjutant's description, after the Solomon was sunk, he transferred to the King David.
Then, it sank to the bottom of the sea with the King David."
"A real soldier!" Li Xiao nodded, took out a cigar and started smoking.
Chen Laohu was very depressed because his family's contribution was not recognized by the commander-in-chief. Even if he was commended afterwards, it seemed to be a step below.
Li Xiu looked at the no-smoking sign on the wall and looked at the smoke gradually dissipating on the sea with his hands behind his back.
"What is the name of the captain of the Youzhou? He is brave and careful, and he is a rare talent." Li Xiao suddenly asked after taking two puffs of his cigarette.
