Chapter 197: The 'tide' rises! The roar of steel! (Twenty)

At 17:10, the commander "Dapeng" was bridged.

"The second-wheel engine room failed to plug the leak, and the water inflow of the No. 2 boiler cabin was severe. For the time being, the water injected on the port side could be maintained. The power could not be restored. It is reported that the transmission shaft may be damaged-"

After listening to the captain's report, Liang Shuming clenched his fists and turned to Chief of Staff angrily: "Is there no way? Is it okay to let the Zhanzhang come and tow the sail?"

"Commander Yuan would not agree. He was just thinking about fighting with the other party's battle patrol troops. If he asked him to take on the rescue mission with the battle patrol, he would be scolded to death." Wang Zilong analyzed calmly.

"Then let our own Kunlun-class patrol patrol--"

Liang Shuming struggled unwillingly - he could not face the disgraceful reality of throwing away the flagship as soon as he started.

Wang Zilong was able to understand Liang Shuming's mood, but he could not avoid his duties for favors, and still said with his chest down: "It's too forced. If the Kunlun class is towed, it will definitely fall far behind the large army. According to the report of the second attack wave, the enemy's forward troops have already moved to the east. The three motherships in our army have to maintain the current south direction until the evening. The large army naturally has to take care of the past, and there is no time to take care of the ship of the team. Besides, the hull has continued to flow into water, and I don't think it will last long. In order not to drag down the large army, the commander should make up his mind as soon as possible..."

Liang Shuming gritted his teeth nervously, his expression suddenly became ferocious, his throat purred a few times, suddenly turned around, his fists kept pounding the bulkhead, and muttered to himself: "How can this be done... My plan is not like this, it's wrong, something must have happened..."

Prince Long was about to go up and comfort him, but suddenly he was pulled by Major Wu Xianyun, the communications officer who had just entered the door. When he turned around and asked, Major Wu had already pulled out of the bridge and ran down the spinning ladder until he hid in a dark, uninhabited corner below the island. Wu Xianyun did not let go.

The 'touched' Wang Zilong, who was confused, first tidied up his cuffs, picked up his arms in a proper manner, and then said unhappily: "What's the secret, what's going on?"

"I just received an emergency call from Commander Sa - to be precise, it was a command from the chief who forwarded the water machine assigned to the main force."

Prince Long blinked in confusion: "Where? Why didn't he present it to the commander just now?"

Wu Xianyun had no choice but to spread his hands, touched out the telegram from his pants pocket and handed it to Wang Zilong: "You can read it yourself."

Taking advantage of the dim lights that were squirting from afar, Wang Zilong took a rough look at the telegram and couldn't help but take a breath: "Oh no, our commander is in trouble."

Wu Xianyun hurriedly raised his hand to signal him to whisper, then looked around like a thief, and then whispered: "Chief of Staff, what should we do?"

Prince Long was stunned for a moment: "What should I do?"

Wu Xianyun was anxious and smacked his tongue: "The commander does not obey the order. He has already slandered Chief Sa once. It is hard to guarantee that he would not tear the telegram. Then he pretended not to receive it and continued to fight to the end."

Prince Long's mouth sniffed a long sigh, punched hissing into his palm, shook his head and sighed: "If you want this - Alas, Lao Liang, it's not that I, Prince Long, it's that you tampered with military orders and took the initiative first. There's no way, there's really no way!"

"How is it? Have you decided to do it?" Wu Xianyun urged impatiently.

Wang Zilong gritted his teeth and nodded determinedly: "You go to the telecommunications room and first notify Commander Bi of Yunpeng with this news. I will summon the military police. Anyway, this ship cannot be saved. Let's take Commander Liang to Yunpeng, move quickly!"

Ten minutes later, Wang Zilong rushed into the bridge with the telegram tightly, holding the telegram.

At first glance, Liang Shuming still didn't understand this attitude: "What is this for? Who asked you to come? Get out, go out!"

Prince Long stepped forward with expressionless face, stood attentively, spread his hands into the telegraph, and said word by word: "Combined Fleet Commander Sa Zhi Mobile Force Commander Liang - First, what are you doing?"

"Second, the command authority will be transferred to Bi Lingbo when the power is received. After the troops recover the aircraft, they will return to the No. 2 position with the reconnaissance force."

"Third, you will be kept in jail by Bi Lingbo. The above is forwarded by 17:02 on the 201013 machine."

Liang Shuming's face darkened, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitched a few times. He stuttered: "Has I done something wrong? I just attacked the enemy as soon as possible. I just wanted to clean up the enemy's aircraft carrier as soon as possible to fight the decisive battle later..."

Wang Zilong handed the telegram to other officers who were surprised to see it, raised his hand and signaled the gendarmerie to step forward: "Stop talking about anything, Commander Liang, please follow us."

Liang Shuming took two steps back in a reflexive manner and shook his head mechanically: "Go? Where to go? I won't go anywhere, I'm here, I want to share life and death with my flagship!"

Wang Zilong immediately raised his face and ordered loudly with unquestionable majesty: "This ship cannot be saved, and the ship must be abandoned immediately. The command staff must be transferred to Commander Bi's Yunpeng as soon as possible. You must also go with us to accept Commander Bi's disposal!"

Without saying anything, two tall gendarmes rushed up with guns, raised Liang Shuming and dragged them out. With hysterical shouts and the clanging sound of leather shoes pedaling metal, the others in the bridge began to pack up and prepare to transfer...

At about the same time, the battlecruiser "Lion" flagship of the Allied Combined Fleet's Foreward Forces less than 100 nautical miles away, Lieutenant General Betty sat high on his exclusive mahogany narrow chair, crossing his legs, and listening to the staff's report with a cold face.

"Queen Mary was hit by four torpedoes one after another, the engine room was infiltrated, the power was lost, and the water discharge system also lost its function. The hull was tilting rapidly, and the captain had ordered the abandonment of the ship-"

"The Royal Princess has 1 thunder, and some cabins have water intake, but it has been controlled and can still maintain a speed of 25 knots."

"The destroyer 'Lancet' was hit by one of the thunders, which was severely damaged, lost power immediately and was sinking..."

After hearing this, Betty sneered: "That's all?"

"yes……"
