Chapter 530: Two Warships Sunk
Su Qing asked worriedly, "Zhuzi, how do you intend to blow up the ships? How do you need us to cooperate?"
He Yuzhu shook his head: "Actually, you don't need to cooperate with me, just 'luring the snake out of its hole' will suffice. I need Master Jin to help me find a boat captain familiar with the local waterways—make sure to find someone reliable, and don't let it be a spy for the Secret Service Bureau again."
"Are you trying to disgust me on purpose?" Jin Hai laughed, feeling a bit embarrassed. "There actually is a suitable person. Lao Liu, go and call Lao Huang over."
Not long after, a man with dark skin, rough features, and a knife-cut face walked in: "Master Jin, were you looking for me?"
Jin Hai smiled and patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder: "Lao Huang, this is a brother closer to me than my own kin. Tell him about the situation of the waterways near Hong Kong Island."
He Yuzhu handed him a cigarette: "If the United States warships want to intercept our cargo ships, where would they usually set up a blockade?"
"Mostly around Lei Yue Mun; that is the only way for cargo ships from Hong Kong Island to head out to sea," Lao Huang answered without a second thought.
"How deep is the water there?"
"The shallowest part is about twenty meters," Lao Huang said quickly.
"Are there any fishing villages near Lei Yue Mun?" He Yuzhu asked.
"Yes, Cha Gu Ling Village is right over there."
"Do the Patrol Police of the Hong Kong British Government appear in that vicinity often?" He Yuzhu asked.
Lao Huang shook his head, then suddenly lowered his voice: "No, brother, I can roughly guess what you want to do—if you were to plant a few Torpedoes in that place, even the sturdiest Warship would be finished."
The corners of He Yuzhu's mouth lifted: "Very good, the location is set there. I have no other questions, you can head back first."
"Little brother, if you need someone to lead the way, I can help," Lao Huang offered.
"That couldn't be better!" He Yuzhu's eyes lit up. "With you leading the way, I can save a lot of effort."
Jin Hai explained from the side: "Zhuzi, don't worry, my friendship with Lao Huang is just like my friendship with Xu Tian and Tie Lin."
"That's great!" He Yuzhu nodded.
He explained the detailed plan to the group again, and they understood his meaning.
Before leaving, Lao Huang took three cups of wine, muttered something, poured them on the ground, and then brought He Yuzhu to Jin Hai's private pier.
He Yuzhu glanced at the small sampan and asked: "Lao Huang, is this boat safe?"
Lao Huang laughed, "It might not be safe in someone else's hands, but it's very safe in mine!"
At first, the sea surface was quite calm, but as they neared Lei Yue Mun, the waves suddenly became turbulent, and the small sampan rose and fell on the crests of the waves.
Lao Huang's boat-handling skills were indeed superb; although the boat tossed violently, it remained steady, appearing perilous but actually safe.
A few minutes later, the small sampan stopped beside a giant rock.
Lao Huang pointed at the waterway and said: "The water is shallowest here, and the channel is narrowest, only about three hundred meters wide. There are many underwater hidden rocks, making it the best position to plant Torpedoes. Do you want me to wait for you?"
He Yuzhu shook his head, "Thank you, you go ahead, I'll handle the rest."
Lao Huang nodded, then drove the boat away.
After surveying the terrain, He Yuzhu already had a complete plan in his mind: once the first Warship entered this narrow waterway, he would use a Modified Torpedo to blow it up, then wait for an opportunity to take care of the second one.
He Yuzhu slipped into his space, where more than twenty Torpedoes were stored.
He decided to modify a portion of them into wireless remote-controlled ones.
After working for over ten hours in the Time Hut, he finally finished modifying ten Torpedoes.
Upon completion, he ate a little something in the space and then rested.
The next morning, He Yuzhu used a Telescope to observe the long, narrow waterway.
Various types of ships entered and exited frequently, but there was still no sign of any warships.
Meanwhile, at Kowloon Wharf, the ten cargo ships of the Asia Huayuan Shipping Company had been loaded with fertilizer, rubber, rice, fruit, edible oil, and other goods, and were preparing to set sail for the Mainland.
Before the ships could depart, a middle-aged man with a red nose slipped out of the wharf.
He walked quickly to the street and found a cigarette vendor: "Give me a pack of 555 cigarettes."
The cigarette vendor asked in a low voice: "What's the situation?"
"There are ten ships heading to the Mainland," the red-nosed man whispered.
"Great, if this succeeds, I'll give you one thousand Hong Kong Dollars," the cigarette vendor looked around and whispered.
The red-nosed man grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
The cigarette vendor quickly packed up his stall and left.
But he didn't expect that he had already been watched—several children who appeared to be playing had been following him from a distance.
The news was passed from the cigarette vendor to a Hong Kong police officer.
After receiving the news, he went straight to a phone booth and dialed the number of the M Military duty officer near the wharf.
The two Destroyers received the intelligence and immediately began preparations to set sail.
At this time, He Yuzhu had already painted his entire body black.
The reason he did this was because of a piece of news Liu Rusi had obtained: there were many black sailors on both Destroyers.
Underneath his Diving Suit, He Yuzhu had already put on a tattered, blood-stained Sailor Uniform, and he also strapped an Oxygen Tank to his back.
Time ticked away, second by second.
Through the Telescope, the silhouettes of two warships finally appeared, about eight hundred meters apart.
He Yuzhu quickly dived, hiding behind a large reef.
The warships drew closer and closer to him... fifty meters... twenty meters, and he instantly released three Torpedoes.
The three Torpedoes were pushed by the waves, crashing straight into the Destroyer, while He Yuzhu immediately hid in his space.
"Boom——!!"
The first Torpedo exploded at the front right of the ship's hull.
Immediately following, "Boom, boom!!" the second and third hit the middle of the starboard side in succession.
Amidst the violent explosions, the Destroyer tilted sharply; most of the sailors were killed on the spot, and the survivors were mostly stunned by the shock.
The Destroyer behind it sounded its alarms and hurriedly turned, attempting to retreat.
One minute later, the survivors on the bombed destroyer jumped into the sea one after another.
By this time, He Yuzhu had long since put the Oxygen Tank and Diving Suit into his space, and he had already blended into the crowd of escapees, swimming desperately toward the direction of the second Warship.
There were more than thirty people escaping like him, and surprisingly, seven or eight of them were Black. It seemed the intelligence was quite accurate.
The second Warship had already finished turning around; they had intended to return to port, but seeing so many soldiers in the water, they could not help but rescue them, and began lowering lifeboats.
Before long, He Yuzhu was pulled onto a small boat.
The sailor rowing the boat asked urgently, "Brother, what on earth happened to your Warship?"
He Yuzhu just "howled" indiscriminately, his eyes vacant, as if his brain had been damaged by the explosion.
When he was hoisted onto the deck by the lift, a ship's medical officer hurried over, wanting to examine him, but He Yuzhu started "howling" again.
The white doctor rolled his eyes, ignored him, and continued to examine others.
He Yuzhu scurried around the deck; at first, some people tried to stop him, but later, no one bothered with him.
He spotted an opportunity and quickly slipped into the cabin; He Yuzhu immediately changed into a different person, his eyes sharp, his movements swift, and he made his way toward the ammunition depot with practiced ease.
Along the way, he encountered a few sailors who tried to stop him, but they were all quickly taken into his space by him.
There was no one guarding the door of the ammunition depot—perhaps because most of the personnel had gone out to assist in the rescue.
He Yuzhu quickly opened the door to the ammunition depot, placed the 500 kilograms of Explosive he had prepared inside, and then restored the door to its original state.
With everything set up, he returned to the deck without a sound.
At this time, the sailors were still busy rescuing people.
He Yuzhu jumped into the sea, and at the same time he pressed the Remote Control Button, he hid himself inside his space.
Boom—!!!
An explosion even more violent than the previous one erupted from deep within the ship's hull, and this massive steel warship was instantly blown in two.
Flames shot into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and shattered steel plates and parts flew everywhere.
When He Yuzhu flashed out of his space again, he saw steel fragments and corpses blown into chunks of flesh floating everywhere on the water's surface.
He swam slowly to the shore, hid behind a rock, and took a sniper rifle out from his space.
On the sea surface, there were still scattered survivors struggling and calling for help.
He Yuzhu raised the sniper rifle, took aim, and pulled the trigger; one shot, then another...
