Chapter 151: Discovery of the Fog Sea
151
In the early morning, the sea surface was covered with fog like a veil. As time went by, the veil became thicker and thicker, almost swallowing up the whole world.
Tang Yue stood on the deck, her eyes trying to penetrate the thick fog, catching any trace of movement on the sea. Her heartbeat gradually accelerated as time went by. This intuition told her that something must be happening in the direction she was looking. Tang Yue didn't think her heartbeat would accelerate for no reason.
"The fog is too thick, visibility is almost zero." There was a hint of worry in Sun Jinan's voice. He searched in the thick fog, but he couldn't even see the blurry side of the ship.
Tang Yue didn't respond. Her spiritual power spread silently across the sea like a vast net. She could feel every rise and fall of the waves, hear every breath of the sea breeze, but there was still no movement in the direction she had anticipated.
As time passed, Tang Yue's brow furrowed deeper and deeper. Her consciousness had extended 50 miles, but she found nothing except the vast ocean.
Tang Yue was not discouraged. Although she had explored it twice and consumed a lot of mental energy, the feeling was still there and she could not ignore it.
"What time is it?"
Sun Jinan checked his watch. "Three minutes to six. Captain, visibility is too low. We can't even see anything more than one meter away."
Sun Fei's face was solemn. He was the best sniper in the Fourth Company, but in such a foggy day, he was not much better than others.
Tang Yue asked Sun Jinan, "Isn't there any fog-dispelling device on the main ship?"
"Ah? And that thing?"
Sun Jinan was amazed; he had never heard of this before. Tang Yue knew this was the end. It looked like today's battle was going to be tough.
Just as a few people were chatting, suddenly a "bang" was heard from the main ship, instantly breaking the tranquility of the sea.
"It came from the main battleship. It seems that a fight has already broken out there." Sun Jinan's expression became serious.
Tang Yue's heart instantly rose. The battle had already begun, but what could she do? Was she really just going to wait here?
Suddenly, the pulling feeling intensified, and Tang Yue's consciousness was released again, this time with a more detailed inspection. Just as her awareness was about to reach its limit, Tang Yue suddenly noticed something in the distance, seemingly heading in their direction.
She forcefully extended her spiritual power once more. In the dense fog stretching over fifty miles, three small black dots slowly approached Tang Yue. Tang Yue clenched her hands into fists. These Japanese were truly cunning, actually using a tactic to lure the tiger away from its mountain range.
Listening to the interweaving sounds of artillery fire in the distance, Sun Jinan's face grew increasingly solemn. However, they were left behind and couldn't get any support. However, Sun Jinan was also very anxious waiting like this. "Company Commander, what should we do now?"
Tang Yue turned to look at him, "Can you disobey orders?"
Sun Jinan choked at the question. How could he say yes to that? He wouldn't do anything that violated discipline.
At that moment, Tang Yue could clearly discern the true form of the three small black dots. They were actually three ordinary large fishing boats with a deep draft. These three boats were traveling at a fast speed. While not as fast as their warships, Tang Yue estimated their speed to be over 30 miles per hour.
Looking in the direction of the three fishing boats, Tang Yue's heart moved. Her intuition told her that there was something wrong with these boats. How much seafood would an ordinary fishing boat have to catch to have such a deep draft?
Moreover, Tang Yue felt that the sound of artillery fire was getting farther and farther away from them. This was obviously to lure the Chinese warships in another direction to protect the three fishing boats in their passage.
Crossing the border? Yes! It's crossing the border!
Tang Yue quickly turned around to look at Sun Jinan, "Does the sea area we are in now belong to us?"
Sun Jinan......
The company commander asked a good question. Can they do it if they are not in their own waters?
"Captain, Chinese warships never proactively patrol other countries' territorial waters."
"So how far are we from the border?"
Sun Jinan calculated based on past experience, "It should still be another two nautical miles."
Tang Yue gritted her teeth. These damn Japanese were really too cunning. If she hadn't discovered these fishing boats, would they have easily left the Chinese coastline?
Tang Yue couldn't tolerate this. She continued to ask Sun Jinan, "Do you feel that the sound of artillery fire is getting farther and farther away from us?"
Sun Jinan and other people from the Fourth Company also noticed it, "It seems so."
"Let's go, we can't just wait here."
Sun Jinan was a little hesitant. When the battalion commander left, he had specifically told him to keep an eye on the company commander and protect his safety.
Tang Yue saw that Sun Jinan didn't move, "What? I can't order you around anymore?"
"No, Captain, our orders are to hold our ground."
Tang Yue rolled her eyes. "Can you see things one meter away? If we just wait here, what if a boat passes by us, will you be able to see it?"
"Isn't it possible?"
"Why not? Are your eyesight good enough? Can you see? Or can you sense that there must be no ship passing by?"
Sun Jinan......
"But......"
"Don't worry, we're here to do a mission, not just sit on the boat and do nothing. Let's get going."
"Oh, okay."
Sun Jinan was about to go to the control room, but he trotted a few steps and quickly turned back. "Captain, are we going to the main ship?"
"No! Let's go over there."
Sun Jinan felt that the direction the company commander was pointing to was completely irrelevant. "Company commander, things don't look good over there, do they?"
"Are you the company commander or am I the company commander?"
Sun Jinan......
"You are, you are. But, we can't run around like that. It's like deserting on the battlefield..."
"Go to hell with you deserters! Hurry up, I feel something coming towards us over there. We're so close to the border, what if we can't stop it?
Hurry up and don't waste time."
"Ah? Oh!"
Sun Jinan ran away quickly, thinking as he ran, "How did the company commander see it in such a thick fog? Could he be lying to him?"
However, Tang Yue has the highest official position on their ship now, and they are all from their Fourth Company, so they have to obey the orders of the company commander.
However, they were careful when sailing, and did not drive too fast. However, after they had gone a distance, they found that visibility was gradually improving. The three fishing boats seemed to be speeding up, and it was obvious that they were in a hurry.
Sun Jinan and Tang Yue stood on the deck. He kept trying to persuade Tang Yue to return. They were going in the wrong direction. Moreover, they had not informed the battalion commander. Sun Jinan didn't dare to think about the fate of their fourth company when they returned.
When Tang Yue felt that Sun Jinan and the others would soon discover the fishing boat, she asked, "Do you see anything over there?"
Sun Jinan looked in the direction of Tang Yue's finger, but saw nothing. "No, it's all foggy, I can't see anything clearly."
Tang Yue asked Sun Fei, "Sun Fei, do you see anything over there? It looks like a fishing boat, but why is it moving so fast?"
Sun Fei instinctively didn't pay much attention to it, but when he heard Tang Yue say that the speed was very fast, he stared at that direction carefully. After two minutes, Sun Fei really felt that he saw some dark shadows.
He looked at Tang Yue in disbelief. What was wrong with their company commander's eyes? This was too good to be true, wasn't it?
"Yes, Captain, it looks like a fishing boat. Fishing boats are very common at sea."
Tang Yue interrupted, "No, I think there's something wrong with these fishing boats. Look carefully, why do I feel like this boat is too deep in the water?"
Sun Jinan could also sense the shadow at this moment. Sun Fei could see it a little more clearly, but he still couldn't tell the depth of the water. However, since the company commander said so, there must be a big problem.
Thinking about the border not far behind, Sun Fei became nervous.
"Captain, are these ships going to..."
"It's what you think. Shall we fire?"
Sun Jinan...tired
Sun Fei......
"Captain, if this is a Chinese fishing boat, we can't fire."
"Huh? Why?"
Sun Jinan quickly responded, "Company Commander, we can't fire at our compatriots."
Tang Yue was speechless. Was she such a cold-blooded person? "What if these fishing boats were seized by the Japanese?"
"Then, then we can't fire either."
Tang Yue was speechless and just looked at Sun Jinan without saying anything. The meaning was very clear: You have to explain it to me, what kind of logic is this?
