    The speedboat Han Huanzhang saw was the "Lei 1" lightning speedboat.

    At this moment, Guan Dachuan is in this speedboat. As the captain, Guan Dachuan was originally a pirate under Bu Dafa. Now he has transformed into the captain of this magical speedboat. Although the speedboat is small, it is really magical.  To.  Guan Dachuan was still thinking about the successful attack just now. It had to be said that the eleven soldiers under his command each performed their duties and cooperated with each other. The attack just now was perfect. At this moment, all the crew members were still in a state of excitement.  middle.

    "I bet that little Japanese ship will sink soon." Although Zeng Erbao was doing the lowest auxiliary job on the ship - taking turns waiting on the two charcoal generators, there was nothing  This does not prevent him from evaluating the first victory of the ship. Zeng Erbao is the most talkative guy on the ship and is recognized as the talkative talker of the ship.  He was not done yet: "What a good ship! It would be great if the prisoners came here. However, after all, the pirate ships are not as good as my Song Dynasty ship. The workmanship is a bit shoddy. It is estimated that there are not many watertight compartments, or there are no watertight compartments at all."  Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be such a loser. Brother, oh, Captain, tell me, is this true?¡± I have to say that there is a lot of noise in the closed cabin, but Zeng Erbao is strong,  He has a loud voice, so it's not a big deal for him to use more lung capacity.

    Guan Dachuan was looking out through the periscope and lookout window. After hearing this, he couldn't help but feel very proud. After wasting a mine before, he finally achieved his first achievement this time, charging into the big ship.  The tonnage is, at least, 1,780 tons. Our performance in launching mines is pretty good.

    In today's battle, "Lei No. 1" was the vanguard, but the first attack with a pole mine did not go well. The pole mine was accidentally discovered by a sailor on the enemy ship at the final impact distance. This guy was quick-witted and quick-handed.  , and threw out a shield, hitting the fuse on the head of the mine. As a result, the mine exploded four or five meters away from the enemy ship.  When testing the explosive power, Guan Dachuan understood that the explosive power of this kind of mine charge was limited. The destructive power on ships was considerable within two meters, but beyond two meters, the destructive power was very limited.  Therefore, the first mine attack only exploded a large water column. The water column incidentally swept the two Japanese sailors on the ship into the sea. As for the enemy ship itself, apart from shaking violently for a while, there seemed to be nothing at all.  damage.

    Fortunately, I was lucky just now, and I blew up a big ship in one fell swoop. Well, to say a big ship is a bit exaggerated, I can only say that the ship was not small, and it was far from the largest warship of the enemy.  Generally speaking, the Japanese ships are not as good as those of the Song Dynasty in any aspect. Not to mention that there are no large ships of 700 to 800 tons. Even the shipbuilding craftsmanship is very despicable. As Zeng Erbao said, they are shoddily built.  The argument is really not to eliminate them.  The problem is, Zeng Erbao just glanced at the observation window. This guy took it for granted. His words were always just for fun, so you don't have to believe him.

    "Look, there is a big enemy ship there, bigger than the one just now! Captain, blow it up next." The observer sat in the observation position and captured the latest target through the periscope.  The speedboat is equipped with two periscopes and three lookout windows. Because it is an armored ship after all, it is surrounded by a tight cover, so it has periscopes and lookout windows.

    This speedboat is a catamaran with two hulls on both sides - in layman's terms, it is equivalent to two slender monohulls. The two monohulls are side by side and connected together laterally. On the middle cross-plane, there is a  The enclosed cabin has a streamlined hatch cover, which is a bit like the pattern of catamaran yachts of later generations, and more like the 022 stealth catamaran missile boats of later generations of countries.  All right!  It can only be said that it copied a little of the appearance of 022, but as for other things, it is not similar at all.

    Due to the suspended design of the middle cabin, the entire cabin is higher than the water, and the height of the cabin is therefore limited. The crew can only move around the cabin with their waists hunched over.  However, the observer was treated well and was equipped with a swivel chair that could easily carry out a 360-degree full-view scan. As soon as he turned his butt, he observed the large ship at the side and rear. In his mind, that was the most valuable thing.  Attacking the target, the observer quickly reported to Guan Dachuan.

    Guan Dachuan carefully rotated the movable blinds of the observation window and saw the target through the slit of the blinds. The scene seen in the periscope always made people feel a little unreal. He was more willing to believe that observing through the observation window was simple and direct.  The result of direct observation.  After seeing the situation clearly, Guan Dachuan shook his head:

    "The enemy ships are entangled with our warships, damn it! There is no way to launch an attack. Do you want to blow up our own ship as well! You idiot!"

    The observer thought the same thing and quickly rotated the periscope to observe from a different angle without saying a word.

    Zeng Erbao, on the other hand, was talking too much: "Brother, oh, Captain, aren't the torpedoes not used? To hit that big ship, you have to use torpedoes, not torpedoes."Awesome, is it accurate to hit one!  Of course our No. 1 boat has to hit the big boat, right?  We can't let Boat No. 2 gain the upper hand.  "

    "Stop talking nonsense." The torpedoes Zeng Erbao mentioned are the biggest killers of this boat. There are only six "torpedoes" in total. Of course, Guan Dachuan is not as ignorant as Zeng Erbao. This guy seems to understand torpedo attacks.  You know, I'm a rookie and a treasure trove, but I like to express my opinions randomly.  Guan Dachuan then laughed and scolded: "Zeng Erbao, shut up, you don't understand shit, don't embarrass yourself."

    "It's also strange that the crew of this boat were all improvised. The speedboat was launched into the water for less than 20 days for trial sea trials. There was basically no "drill" practice before going into this muddy water.  Zeng Erbao had been following Dachuan and was also a pirate. With this living treasure Zeng Erbao around, life on the ship was not lonely.  Of course Zeng Erbao, a rookie, was just talking nonsense. Torpedoes were long-range powerful weapons, and they were powerful enough. However, compared with pole mines, torpedoes had to be fired from a long distance, while pole mines had to be fired from close range.  As for the attack, naturally the pole mine attack is much more accurate.

    At this time, the observer suddenly shouted:

    "There are two enemy boats rushing over, they are oars, what should I do?"

    "Oh, if someone comes to die, then let him fulfill his wish. It just so happens that our small pole mine hasn't been activated yet, so let's try our luck with these two small boats." It should be noted that this boat is equipped with two kinds of poles.  There are one kind of mines with boost, which is the kind of pole mine that was used to blow up the ship just now, and there is another kind without boost, which is a small mine with a small amount of charge. It is originally specialized.  Used to deal with small boats.

    The speedboat turned flexibly and rushed towards the side of one of the boats. When it was close to 30 meters, Guan Dachuan ordered:

    "Prepare the shotguns on the left and right, follow my instructions and fire."

    As soon as he finished speaking, the shotgunner on the left couldn't wait to put the shotgun out of the firing hole, took a look through the peephole, and pulled the trigger without waiting for Okawa's order.

    "Idiot! Did I ask you to shoot!"

    Before he could finish cursing, the shotgunner on the right also fired.  Guan Dachuan sighed, thinking that these two guys were just wasting bullets.

    As soon as the two shots were fired, someone on the Japanese boat opposite was shot immediately, but the distance was far away. Except for an unlucky guy who was hit in the face by a lead bullet and screamed, the other injured were  That is to say, he was hit by a lead bullet that was reaching the end of the speed, which was just a little flesh wound. However, the people on the boat recognized it so much that they immediately put up their shields.

    The two shots were not in vain. This was the effect Guan Dachuan wanted. After the enemy put up their shields, their line of sight was also blocked. Guan Dachuan's goal was achieved.

    Soon, Lin Ji, the pole operator on the left side, pushed a small mine out of the boat. As Guan Dachuan said "release", Lin Ji quickly pushed out the pole. Through the lookout window, Guan Dachuan saw  The mine only exposed a little black back, rushing towards the enemy ship like a black fish.

    At this moment, the noise of the hot ball engine on the right side suddenly became mute. Damn, what¡¯s going on!  At the same time, the speedboat's course veered rapidly to the right and broke down!

    "Quick! Pull the wire and detonate!"

    Lin Ji obeyed the order and pulled the line suddenly, and the mine exploded.

    I felt a shaking in the speedboat, but it was just a shaking.  Catamarans are good in this regard. The two-piece structure makes the hull much more stable than a monohull, and its wave resistance is not generally good.  Looking ahead, the small boat has been blown over. The bottom of the boat is upside down, and the stern is completely blown to pieces. The original boat planks have been reduced to wooden boards and firewood, and the stern rudder is missing. This boat  It's over.

    I was pretty lucky. Originally, I was going to blow up the middle part of the boat, but the course deviated and it hit the tail. The effect was slightly inferior, but it was okay.

    "It could have been blown up in two parts at once, but why did it hit the butt of the ship!" Erbao vented his dissatisfaction and expressed deep regret for the effect of the explosion.

    When Lin Ji heard this, he was unhappy and immediately said:

    "I just went to blow up the butt of the ship. Every time I blow it up, I'm sure. In my opinion, if you want to blow up, you have to blow up the butt of the ship. Even if it doesn't sink or capsize, at least it won't be able to turn after the rudder is blown away."  , yes and no!¡±

    "What's the fuss about?" Guan Dachuan was not satisfied with blowing up an enemy boat. However, the problem with the hot ball engine on the right was worrying. Cui Jin, who was in charge of waiting for the hot ball engine, looked at the stopped hot ball engine.  The ball machine was at a loss. Originally, two hot ball machines drove two propellers, which allowed them to run at amazing high speeds on the sea. Now that the one on the right is parked, the speed advantage is not so obvious.  Combat strength will also be greatly reduced.

    "Er Bao, go down and have a look to see if the propeller is caught in something."

    Erbao is the master of groceries on the ship.Despite Okawa's instructions, Erbao never bargained. He took off his clothes in a few seconds and climbed down from the hole in the middle where the torpedoes were fired. After a while, Erbao climbed up and shouted:  "Okay, brother¡ª¡ªoh, the captain is really wise. It was just a broken fishing net that got entangled in the propeller. It's okay now."

    Soon, the engine on the right side resumed work, the noise in the cabin increased again, and Guan Dachuan's fighting spirit also increased again.

    "Now, let's blow up that big ship."

    Aren¡¯t you afraid of blowing up your own ship that is entangled with that big ship?  The observing hand expressed confusion, and Erbao didn't understand either, so he opened his mouth and asked:

    "Brother, oh, captain, isn't that inappropriate!"

    "Don't worry, I just blew up the small ship. Lin Ji's words reminded me. Let's use a small mine to blow up the stern rudder of the big ship first, so that the big ship will malfunction. Then it will no longer be able to get entangled with our big ship. Then  , we will blow it up with a torpedo." The power of the small mine is not very strong, and it is still possible to blow up the tail rudder. This kind of mine is pushed with a six-meter-long pole, and the distance is six meters, which just makes the speedboat immune to the underwater explosion.  Influence.

    "Yeah, why didn't I think of that!" Erbao said nonchalantly, scratching his head with a look of admiration on his face.  Lin Ji thought to himself, what kind of IQ do you have, my second treasure?  When it comes to the ability to read the battlefield, I am not bragging, it is much better than your second treasure.  Of course, the captain is still better than me.

    The next moment, the speedboat rushed towards the stern of the Japanese ship. When it was about fifty meters away, Guan Dachuan ordered:

    ¡°Prepare the smoke bomb, I¡¯ll count three, one, two, three, let go!¡±

    The performance of Mao's smoke bomb is very average, but Guan Dachuan already feels that this magical smoke bomb is very powerful. To get close to the big ship, of course, smoke tactics must be used.

    Under the cover of smoke, Lin Ji, a small mine expert, skillfully pushed out the mine with a pole. When the mine was almost reaching the stern of the ship, Lin Ji suddenly pulled the long rope, and the mine exploded at the stern of the ship, shaking.  Guan Dachuan saw that a hole had been blown open in the stern of the ship, sea water was pouring into it, and the stern rudder had turned into wood chips, floating on the sea.  As soon as the Japanese ship was exploded, it was immediately separated from Han Huanzhang's ship, and the next moment, it was away from it.

    The speedboat made a quick circle, then pointed the direction towards the head of the Japanese ship and began to accelerate.  Seeing four jets of black smoke shooting out from the speedboat one after another, the view of the sea became blurred. This was the smoke preparation before the attack, and this time it was still the same.

    In the cabin, a "torpedo" is already in the firing position. The lower part of the "torpedo" is rounded, and the shape of the upper part is specially designed to look like the back of a big fish. It is like a large or small pole mine. Its color  It was painted black.  This thing weighs one hundred and twenty kilograms, and its shell is made of a lot of wood. It uses compressed air as power. The piston connecting rod crankshaft mechanism is actually a miniature version of a steam engine. When the compressed air is released, it drives the piston connecting rod crankshaft.  mechanism, which then spins the propeller, from which the torpedo gains power.  Since the pressure of the compressed air is not high enough, its firing range is only a mere sixty meters, which is the maximum range that can be achieved when a speedboat gives it a muzzle speed of fifteen knots.  As far as its first charge is concerned, in addition to black powder, it is also mixed with potassium chlorate. It is of course completely different from the power of torpedoes in later generations, but in this era, the power of the explosion is already extraordinary.

    "Open the air valve, get ready! One, two, three, release!" Guan Dachuan was very excited, and the command voice sounded particularly high amidst the churning sound of the hot-ball machine.

    The torpedo sank into the water from the V-shaped groove in the cabin. The propeller that had already started to rotate pushed the speed of the torpedo up. It immediately passed under the middle deck of the speedboat and rushed towards the enemy ship. At this time, only a small amount of the torpedo was exposed.  A bit of back, if you don't pay close attention, it looks like a big fish swimming.  It didn't have any depth-setting mechanism. It just relied on buoyancy to keep its back slightly exposed, and then headed straight for the enemy ship with a string of blisters.

    Due to the smoke, the people on the Japanese ship did not notice the approaching torpedo in a semi-submersible attitude. When the speedboat fired smoke, the people on the Japanese ship realized that this should be another new torpedo.  attack, but after the speedboat approached thirty meters, the rudder suddenly turned sharply for some unknown reason, and the speedboat rushed back under the cover of smoke.  The people on the ship thought that this attack was still on the stern. It seemed that this was a plan to strike while the iron was hot and completely blow up the stern of the ship. Well, needless to say, that was definitely the case!

    what happened!  Why did the speedboat suddenly run away again? What is it doing!  Isn¡¯t this playing tricks on people?

    Just when the Japanese on the boat felt relieved, there was a loud noise, and the hull of the boat suddenly jumped up, and then the bodies flew out one by one.

    Everyone in the speedboat felt a huge earthquake.Erbao's forehead jumped up high, and Erbao's forehead hit the wooden board of the cabin heavily. He screamed in pain, and the others were not relaxed either.

    The observer then shouted frantically:

    "Look, look, the little Japanese ship has been blown into pieces. Oh! My mother! Such a big ship has been blown up like this!"
