Chapter 1075 Added Ingredients
After eliminating the 12 Japanese marines on the largest cargo ship, Zhang Yunhe removed his Ironblood equipment and stored it in his backpack. Then, he put on a black, tight-fitting combat suit, covered his face with a black hood, and returned to the captain's command room with his gun.
Upon seeing the masked man in black who suddenly appeared, the captain and several crew members in the captain's cabin were so frightened that they involuntarily raised their hands.
Zhang Yunhe lowered his gun and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm here to rescue you. I killed all 12 Japanese soldiers on this ship, you're safe now!"
"Huh? There are still several more in the lower cabins. Are all the Japanese soldiers dead?" asked a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a captain's uniform.
Zhang Yunhe nodded: "Yes, they're all dead. I killed them! If you don't believe me, you can send someone to check, or you can go see for yourself!"
After listening, the captain hesitated for a moment, then turned to one of the crew members beside him and said, "Rat, Pheasant, you two go check the deck and the cabins below."
"Okay!" The two crew members exchanged a glance, agreed, and walked towards the captain's cabin, carefully keeping a certain distance from Zhang Yunhe as they passed by.
"Um... can we pick up a couple of guns before we go down?" The crew member named Chicken stopped at the door and turned to ask.
Zhang Yunhe turned to look at him, "Okay, everyone pick up a gun, go!"
The two would turn back, each pick up a gun from the floor, and then leave one after the other.
After everyone left, the captain looked at Zhang Yunhe and asked, "May I ask who you are...?"
Zhang Yunhe said, "Didn't you send a distress telegram? I was sent here to rescue you!"
"Huh? This... only a little over an hour, less than two hours, and the rescue has arrived? We're 5 or 600 nautical miles from the port!" The captain's eyes widened, his face showing disbelief.
Zhang Yunhe said, "It's been quite a while. If we don't get reinforcements soon, you'll be taken to Kaohsiung Port!"
"Then how did you get here?" the captain asked.
Zhang Yunhe brandished his pistol: "You don't need to ask me how I got here. Just know that you're safe now. Do as I say, and you can safely return to Hong Kong!"
"How is that possible? There's still a Japanese fleet around us. No matter how fast our cargo ship goes, we can't shake off the Japanese fleet. If we anger them, we might be shelled and sunk!" another crew member said.
Zhang Yunhe said, "Don't worry about this Japanese fleet. In two or three hours, the bomber squadron that flew from the port will arrive over the fleet. At that time, the squadron will drop bombs on the Japanese fleet. Once all the warships in this Japanese fleet are sunk, you can turn around and return to the port safely!"
"What? A bomber squadron is coming to bomb the Japanese fleet? This..."
"Of course! Your fleet is loaded with essential supplies for the residents of Ganggang. They're all waiting for these food and necessities to save their lives!" Zhang Yunhe said.
The people in the command cabin exchanged glances, and the captain asked again, "Sir, what should we do now?"
"Just pretend nothing happened, maintain speed, and wait for the bomber group to arrive!" Zhang Yunhe said.
Not long after, Pheasant and Mouse, who had been sent to check the situation, returned. "Captain, all the Japanese soldiers on board are dead, and the crew members who were locked in the lower cabins have all been rescued!"
Upon hearing what the rat and the pheasant said, the captain walked over and bowed to Zhang Yunhe: "Thank you for saving us, sir. May I ask your name? We will definitely come to your door to repay your kindness when we return to port!"
“No need. I was ordered to rescue you. If you want to thank someone, thank the person who gave the order. Do you know who’s in charge in Ganggang now?” Zhang Yunhe said.
The captain suddenly understood and said with admiration, "I understand!"
“Okay, I’m going to find a place to sleep for a while. Don’t bother me if anything happens. Once the bomber group arrives, you don’t need to do anything. Just wait for the Japanese fleet to be bombed to death!” Zhang Yunhe said.
"Okay, we'll do as you say, sir!"
After leaving the command cabin, Zhang Yunhe found a secluded spot on another cargo ship and went to sleep.
After he left, a crew member asked the captain, "Boss Ge, should we use lights to signal the other cargo ships, tell them the situation, and tell them not to worry and not to make any rash moves after the bomber group arrives?"
Captain Ge thought for a moment, then shook his head firmly and said, "No, we absolutely cannot use flag signals. The flag signals we know are internationally recognized, and there must be someone on the Japanese fleet who can recognize them. Once the Japanese see them, our plans will be exposed, so we absolutely cannot use flag signals!"
"Then... what about sending a wireless telegram?" another crew member asked.
"No, this is a civilian radio station, it has no security whatsoever. The Japanese can easily crack our telegrams, there's still a high chance of a leak! All we can do now is do nothing, just wait!"
Zhang Yunhe didn't know how long he had slept when he was suddenly awakened by a loud explosion.
He rolled over, craned his neck, and saw a Japanese warship in the distance burst into flames, followed by screams. Then, aerial bombs rained down from the sky, creating countless shrill sounds.
Screams, explosions, and shouts echoed continuously. Anti-aircraft guns and machine guns roared from the Japanese fleet's warships, and bursts of bullets and shells with glowing tails shot into the sky.
B-29 bombers rained down aerial bombs like hens laying eggs in the sky. Some of these bombs landed in the sea, exploding and sending up towering columns of water; others landed on Japanese warships, penetrating the decks and exploding inside the cabins, sending huge flames soaring into the sky, and the decks of the Japanese warships cracking with a tooth-grinding sound.
The escorting fighter jets also joined the battle at this time. The pilots flew their fighter jets and swooped down on the Japanese warships, and a series of cannon shells and machine gun bullets poured down on the decks of the Japanese warships.
The Japanese soldiers carrying shells, operating naval cannons and anti-aircraft machine guns on the gun emplacements—some were instantly riddled with bullets, some had their legs blown off, and others had their heads exploded.
In an instant, the deck of the Japanese warships became a living hell, with blood, pieces of flesh, and severed limbs scattered everywhere.
Zhang Yunhe discovered that every Japanese warship had been attacked and bombed, and knew that the time to end the battle had come. If the battle dragged on any longer, the longer the aircraft group was delayed, the more fuel it would consume. In particular, the fighter jets had already reached their maximum combat radius. After such a long battle, if they did not return to base soon, they might run out of fuel on the way back and have to make an emergency landing.
He immediately took out the remote control and kept pressing each button. He saw the Japanese warships in the distance bursting into bursts of fire. After each burst of fire, there was a violent explosion, followed by the sound of the warships being blown in two and the steel breaking.
The firelight reflected on the sea, revealing Japanese warships sinking one after another after losing power following the explosions.
