"These little brats actually want to seize the ship? Damn it, they are so bold! I'll beat them so hard that they won't even recognize their own mother!"
Yan Dajiang's rough voice rang out on the deck, filled with anger and unwillingness.
These Japanese soldiers were obviously well-trained and very good at close combat, but unexpectedly, they were in a stalemate with them for a while.
Moreover, the Japanese soldiers' goal was very clear, which was to seize the warship.
Just now, some soldiers even tried to pretend to be dead in order to conceal their existence and run towards the cabin.
"Try to catch them alive." Huo Ci reminded after hearing this.
Now that many Japanese soldiers have died, there are only a few of them, so they are not something to be afraid of at all.
But at least we have to leave two people alive to facilitate future questioning. We have to find out what Xiao Rizi really wants to do.
There was also such a precise attack on the sea to block them. Huo Ci didn't believe that there was no spies in the army.
At this moment, on the fishing boat, the couple saw the fierce battle on the warship and were extremely anxious.
So they fired flares without hesitation, hoping to attract more reinforcements.
The flare cut through the sky, emitting a dazzling light. Even in the daytime, it was as bright as the stars in the night sky, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Huo Ci looked at the flare rising into the sky, and his expression became more solemn at this moment.
The appearance of this flare means that the interception by Sakura Country was not accidental, but premeditated.
I'm afraid that Xiaozi's warships are lurking in that sea area right now.
These Japanese soldiers must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise the situation will become even worse once night falls.
Huo Ci thought something was wrong and gave the order to shoot.
We must get rid of the Japanese soldiers here as soon as possible and speed up our progress.
…
On the other side in the Paracel Islands, Li Hongguang, who was stationed here, had been waiting anxiously after receiving the telegram early in the morning.
He really wanted to see the new weapons developed by the research institute as soon as possible, but he didn't know which one was more powerful compared to the weapons sent last year.
"It's already five o'clock, why haven't Captain Huo and the others arrived yet?" As the appointed time was getting closer, Li Hongguang became more and more nervous.
The last time they came to support, Huo Ci and his men even arrived ahead of time, but this time the time limit passed and there was no sign of the warship.
Even the warships patrolling nearby waters said they didn't see the ship coming.
"This shouldn't be the case? Could something have happened?" Li Hongguang became more and more anxious the more he thought about it.
He had had a lot of contact with Huo Ci and was very familiar with his character.
Since the telegram received had an estimated arrival time, Huo Ci would not have failed to show up unless something unexpected happened.
"There's still no ship seen in the distant sea?" Li Hongguang asked again, with a last bit of hope.
He looked out to the vast ocean again, hoping to catch a glimpse of any trace of a ship, but all he got in response was the endless waves and the howling sea breeze.
The response was not good either. Huo Ci and his crew's ship did not even reach the waters near the Xisha Islands.
It’s not even this time yet, no need to think, he must have encountered something on the way here.
Seeing this, Li Hongguang knew that he could not delay any longer.
He quickly turned around, hurried back to the cabin, and sent an urgent telegram to Huo Qingrong, detailing the current situation.
In the telegram, every word he said revealed his anxiety and worry. He hoped that Huo Qingrong would receive the news as soon as possible and send reinforcements to support them.
The moment he received the telegram, Huo Qingrong's face instantly became extremely ugly.
He held the deciphered telegram tightly, his fingers trembling slightly with anger and shock.
Every word in the telegram was like a sharp blade, piercing deeply into his heart.
Although he had already expected that those little guys would not behave themselves, he never expected that they would be so bold.
They dared to act so unscrupulously right under their noses, in China's waters.
This is not only a provocation to the Chinese soldiers, but also a serious violation of national sovereignty and territorial integrity!
Even though it was already evening, Huo Qingrong immediately summoned all the soldiers, personally selected the personnel, and dispatched warships and submarines to set off immediately to provide support.
"I hope it's not too late!"
Looking at the departing warship, Huo Qingrong looked worried, hoping he could make it in time.
At this time, Huo Ci quickly dealt with the trouble with the fishing boat, and immediately drove the warship to the maximum speed, wanting to leave the sea area as soon as possible.
Suddenly, on the originally empty sea, several small fishing boats appeared silently like ghosts, and they rushed towards the warships frantically with a desperate attitude.
With a desperate attitude, they forced the Chinese warships to stop.
What's worse is that the sea area ahead has been connected by these small boats, forming an indestructible barrier that has firmly trapped the warships.
This time, the actions of the little guys were not only well prepared, but had even been planned here for a long time.
Otherwise, it would not be possible to get so many Chinese fishing boats, and even if we extradite so many of them, it would not be easy.
Their warships could not appear openly in Chinese waters, so they used China's small fishing boats to intercept the warships. This was truly insidious and cunning.
As the sky grew darker and night was about to fall, the warship was still unable to break through. Huo Ci's eyes were always filled with an unshakable sorrow.
The sea will be more dangerous at night, and those small fishing boats may take more crazy actions.
"Guard the warship strictly to prevent Japanese soldiers from sneaking onto the ship." Huo Ci's voice was steady and powerful as he gave clear orders to Yan Dajiang.
The first plan of these Japanese soldiers should be to seize the warship, which would make it easier to leave with a ship full of new weapons.
Even if they were intercepted by China later, warships were obviously safer than their small fishing boats.
"Don't worry, as long as these guys dare to come up, I will make sure they never come back!" Yan Dajiang responded confidently.
There was a determination glint in his eyes, as if he was ready to fight to the death with the Japanese soldiers.
Even if Yan Dajiang sacrificed his life here, he would never let these little bastards snatch the new gun away!
In fact, Xiao Rizi had already launched several rounds of raids, but each time was successfully repelled by Huo Ci, Yan Dajiang and others.
Now, there are nearly twenty bodies of Japanese soldiers who raided the ship on the deck. They were all killed in the battle.
However, unfortunately, there is not a single survivor at the moment.
Those Japanese soldiers were cruel and ruthless. When they saw someone being captured, they actually shot him to death rather than let him fall into the hands of the Chinese.
