Chapter 254: Strong Flashlight, Blinding the Enemy
The sky was as dark as ink, and the sea was tightly wrapped in the thick night. Everywhere within sight was chaos.
Even the fishing boats that were nearby seemed to be swallowed up by the night, with only a few vague outlines remaining, looming in the waves.
In this sea shrouded in darkness, danger and the unknown lurk in every inch of space.
The sense of direction becomes blurred, and even experienced navigators find it difficult to accurately identify it.
For those who had been planning for a long time, this was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to seize the ship.
Several fishing boats quietly turned off their lights, and moved through the night like ghosts, silently approaching the warships.
Their movements are swift and stealthy, like an undercurrent in the sea, ready to strike.
At the same time, other fishing boats deliberately exposed themselves to the warships' field of vision. They were sometimes bright and sometimes dark, sometimes hidden, and sometimes invisible, constantly attracting the attention and firepower of the Chinese soldiers.
These fishing boats acted like bait, cleverly dispersing the warships' defensive forces and creating opportunities for their companions hiding in the dark.
"It's getting dark, everyone, be alert, be prepared, and be careful of the approaching enemy ships." Huo Ci was very vigilant and immediately gave the order, "If Xiao Ri gets close, just shoot and kill!"
By now, Huo Ci no longer had any plans to keep him alive.
After fighting with Xiao Rizi so many times, the Chinese soldiers have a full understanding of how insidious Xiao Rizi is.
Even if Huo Ci didn't say it, the soldiers had already stretched their defense to the top level when night fell.
"Damn it, these little guys are so annoying. They come in wave after wave and can never be killed!" Yan Dajiang cursed after killing one of the little guys who tried to get on the boat again.
It was not dark before, so at least we could see everything. But now, even though there are lights on the warships, there are too many blind spots.
Even though they were careful, those little things still crept up from their blind spots.
The one just now had already reached Yan Dajiang and almost hurt him.
Huo Ci also noticed this. The visibility at night was too dark, which was not conducive to their defense.
"Fuck! This light!"
Accompanied by a scream, a beam of strong light suddenly broke through the night sky, instantly illuminating the originally dark sea surface.
It was as if the dawn had just appeared, dispelling the darkness of night without a trace.
This sudden light not only exposed Xiao Ri's plan instantly, but even Yan Dajiang and others on the warship couldn't help but squint their eyes, as if they were blinded by the strong light.
Huo Ci held the flashlight in his hand and marveled inwardly.
He didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary flashlight that Jiang Yushan gave him could emit such amazing light when turned to maximum brightness.
The light was so strong that it was almost like a small searchlight, illuminating everything around it clearly.
Under the illumination of the flashlights, those fishing boats that had tried to sneak closer in the dark were nowhere to hide. Their outlines were clearly visible under the strong light, and they could no longer use the cover of night to launch sneak attacks.
"What is this? What on earth did China do?" The Japanese soldiers fell into chaos because of the sudden strong light.
They all squinted their eyes and avoided it, trying to reduce the stimulation of the strong light.
However, every time Huo Ci swept the flashlight towards them, the strong light was like a flash bomb, temporarily blinding them and making them lose the direction and target of their attack.
Xiao Rizi's original plan was disrupted, so they temporarily stopped the attack and reorganized their forces in response to the flashlight that Huo Ci took out.
Huo Ci shone the flashlight for a long time before finally turning off the light, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.
"Is this what your sister-in-law made for you again?" After taking a break, Yan Dajiang immediately came to Huo Ci to discuss countermeasures.
But at this moment, he couldn't help but stare at the flashlight in Huo Ci's hand with envy.
Jiang Yushan is not only a good cook, but also has researched amazing things. The flashlight he gave to Huo Ci is so unique that it really makes people envious and jealous.
"These days, they must be after the new gun." Huo Ci did not respond to Yan Dajiang's question just now, but directly diverted his attention.
Now Huo Ci used two torpedoes in total and destroyed a total of five fishing boats of Xiao Rizi.
However, after the torpedo was launched, the people became more prepared and the distance between the fishing boats was much farther.
This trip was mainly to transport supplies, and the number of torpedoes equipped was limited. In order to leave some forces to protect the supplies and new guns on the warship, Huo Ci had been restraining his attacks.
"We must not let these little guys snatch away our new guns, but what should we do now?" Yan Dajiang asked worriedly.
These Japanese soldiers will not be quiet for long and will soon launch a new round of attacks. They must find a way to break out as soon as possible.
"Reinforcements should be arriving soon." Huo Ci glanced at the sea behind him.
According to the plan, they should have arrived at the Xisha Islands around five o'clock in the afternoon, but Li Hongguang did not wait for them and must have informed Huo Qingrong.
Currently, the warship is not far from the waters of the island. At this point, reinforcements should be arriving soon.
Huo Ci estimated the time and turned on the flashlight in his hand again.
Because they had to discuss the plan again, some of the fishing boats that were originally scattered gathered together again.
"Now, use torpedoes!" Huo Ci made a decisive decision.
If the reinforcements were really on the way, given how intense the fighting was here, and with the guidance of the flashlight given by Jiang Yushan, it wouldn't take long for the reinforcements to find their location and rush over.
"Okay!" When Yan Dajiang heard that Huo Ci decided to use torpedoes, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes that was hard to conceal.
He immediately turned around and strode forward to give orders, looking as if he was about to go into battle himself to fight the enemy.
"Boom!"
With a deafening bang, the torpedo exploded in the water, creating a huge wave.
Xiao Rizi had no time to react before the two fishing boats were blown up in an instant, with debris flying everywhere and flames shooting into the sky.
They never expected that China would use torpedoes to counterattack without any warning at this time and place.
This sudden attack caught them off guard and plunged them into chaos for a moment.
"Disperse, disperse quickly!" The Japanese soldiers gave orders anxiously, and the fishing boats immediately scattered like frightened birds, trying to avoid the subsequent attacks.
However, now that China has opened fire, it will never stop easily.
Seeing Xiao Rizi fleeing in a panic, Yan Dajiang and others became more motivated. They continued to launch torpedoes without hesitation. Explosions continued to sound on the sea, as if they were going to tear this sea area apart completely.
