"What? Say it again! " Two hours later, Bernd and his sailors were patrolled and rescued by the cruiser Eregli. Hearing Bernd’s explanation, Tugay, the captain of the Eregli, thought it was incredible. He couldn’t stand the fact that this merchant ship was robbed under his nose.
"Where was your ship robbed? What is the highest flight? Did you see which direction they were sailing? " Tugay came to the chart to calculate the possibility of chasing each other.
"It should be this position!" Bernd pointed to the chart. "I’ Hailar’ was on the highest flight in the full cargo situation. I saw them heading east!"
"Pursuit!" Bernd threw a compass and shouted loudly
"Ha ha ha ha! Cheers! " Cassandra, everyone is celebrating the success of the first "robbery"
"General Oz Turk, your way is really tube! Take the boat east for a few nautical miles in front of those sailors and then go back to the north! That’s amazing! We have never seen the shadow of Turkish warships when we returned to the port! " Captain Philip held a cup and said that he and OzTurk were both heroes of this operation.
"Presumably that Turkish captain’s nose is angry!" Kemal Ataturk is also very interested in shipping a large number of funds and goods, which greatly relieves his urgent need. "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, we keep those goods. I think it can be considered as repayment for some troops if your freighter takes them back to Germany!"
Ollie nodded and agreed that the Turkish navy was not arrogant enough to dare to inspect the German ship. "But what about the Hailar?"
Kemal looked at OzTurk. "Go back to the sea and let it float, of course!" Ha ha ha … "
A week later, the Turkish navy found an object "Hailar" with a crooked nose in the sea. Not only did the captain of the Eregli, Tugay’s owner, Senator umit, gnash his teeth. He put pressure on the navy through Congress to investigate the matter as soon as possible. In addition, reactionary agents also sent out everywhere to search for the missing goods. Unfortunately, they could not find anything.
A month later, Captain Philip led a team to "rob" the merchant ships Akon and Sinop again. The simple and effective misdirection tactics made the Turkish navy pity the Turks twice in a row and finally realized that when the fourth merchant ship Finikai was robbed, they finally split up and searched in different directions.
"Hum! It must make them feel good that these sly pirates are caught by me! " Tugay said savagely that he and his cruiser Eregli were chasing north this time. When the night was approaching, he finally saw the lonely figure of "Finikai" through the telescope. "Baby, there you are! Let me find it! "
"Baby, you finally come! Let me kiss it! " Less than a nautical mile to the left of the Eregli, Captain Philip stared at the periscope and murmured softly.
Two torpedoes ran quietly to the Eregli with white waves.
Boom … Boom …
The Eregli and the central part were successively hit by torpedoes, causing huge water columns on the side, and then the hull tilted for 5 minutes. After that, the sailors jumped off the 9ooo-ton Turkish cruiser and sank into the blue-black waves. Although some lifeboats and lifebuoys were thrown in the distance by "Finikai", there were still more than 2oo Turkish sailors buried raw fish bellies.
In the cold water, Tugay thought that his warship was hit by a mine, but he didn’t give up. The cold water made him come up with a wonderful idea.
On a drizzly evening, a lonely merchant ship sailed in the Aegean Sea. The deck of this merchant ship was covered with thick canvas, which seemed to be some goods that could not be rained. In the command room, a middle-aged man was watching the sea around him in a wretched way. This guy was Tugay who had been immersed in the sea for more than an hour two months ago. He hid several cannons in this merchant ship to prepare for a firefight with Captain Philip’s submarine, but it was already a month ago, and his target was delayed, which made him impatient and delicious.
At this moment, the sailor of the watchtower suddenly reported that there was something on the right front. Tugay saw something strange floating from the sea through the telescope. He quickly ordered the sailors to prepare "Hurry! Remove the canvas cannon and prepare! "
Not far away, the submarine captain Philip also saw the strange situation of the merchant ship through the telescope, but the corners of his mouth gave me a strange smile.
"Actually in possession of artillery so that they can kill us? Ship torpedoes shoot immediately! "
Before …
The submarine ship strung out a torpedo.
"Commandant! There is something wrong with a fish laser tube! " Torpedo room reports
"Hurry up and repair!" Philip Wei shouted to his face, now there is expectation that this torpedo can hit the target.
Tugay, the merchant ship opposite, also showed the torpedo, but it was too late to turn away from him. He closed his eyes and prayed for God’s blessing.
One second … Two seconds … More than ten seconds passed. Tugay opened his eyes and he was still alive. The torpedo on the other side of the ship flew away.
"damn it! It must be that the ship’s draft is too shallow and the torpedo is set too deep! " Philip was so annoyed that the drizzle weather affected his sight that he didn’t have a heavy load at the root of the boat. The torpedo just passed through the bottom of the boat and went away. It was a rainy night.
"Deck cannon ready!" It’s not his character for Philip to let the sailors go back to the deck and escape. Besides, he doesn’t think a ship can hit such a small submarine with just a few cannons.
Boom … Boom …
Several water columns rose far away from him, and he laughed contemptuously at the Turkish soldiers’ artillery skills.
Boom
The submarine hit the huge merchant ship not far away with one shot, but it hit the side of the ship and did not cause any harm to the crew.
"aim at their command room!" At this time, Philip has no intention of capturing this merchant ship. Besides, there should be nothing valuable in the face.
Boom
The second gun just hit the front command room of the merchant ship. Fortunately, Tugay had already gone to the deck to command the sailor gun. Looking at the command room where the smoke was pouring out, he also knelt down again and thanked God for his blessing.
Although merchant guns are far more than submarines, the advantages of submarine guns in shooting range and accuracy make up for the shortage, and the two sides shoot at each other fiercely.
Bang …
At last, smoke billowed from the deck of the merchant ship, and shells piled up beside the artillery were ignited and exploded violently, but Turkish warships had arrived.
"quick! Dive! " Philip also showed the smoke column in the distance.
It was the Turkish navy that came to support only one cruiser, bursa bursa, in this sea area. The displacement was only 5oo tons, which was slightly lower than that of the Eregli cruiser that was sunk before, but the age of the cruiser was faster than that of Eregli. More importantly, the captain of bursa, Izet, was not a straw bag like Tugay. He had long guessed that the attacking merchant ship was a submarine, and he knew that the submarine needed to surface every once. After the dive of Philip uoo6, he did not stop to help the Tugay merchant ship, but headed east. He didn’t force him to attack when uoo6 was inflated, but he watched Izet from a distance in order to follow uoo6 and find its lair.
"well! I actually want to follow us, then we will give it some power! " Philip also showed that he had been following his bursa. His motivation was that he decided to turn around and kill the Turkish cruiser, but to his dismay, the torpedo tube had to go back to Cassandra to repair it.
"Body ready to dive! The depth is 1o meters! " After filling, Philip took his uoo6 and sailed quietly to meet the bursa.
"Target distance 2ooo code! 1/3 degree forward! "
"Target distance 15oo code! Stop the car! "
"Target distance is 1ooo yard. Torpedo ready!"
"Target distance is 600 yards, fish laser!"
A white torpedo track appeared on the sea.
"Right full rudder!" Izet showed the uoo6 torpedo and commanded the bursa to turn quickly.
"put away the periscope and move forward!" Philip naively lamented the bulkhead, and the bursa actually escaped her torpedo lightly. If it weren’t for the broken torpedo tube of the boat, it wouldn’t be the cruiser’s arrogance if it weren’t for the maintenance of uoo7 today.
"Turn right 15 degrees and prepare the stern torpedo!" Philip decided to try again.
Five minutes later, the torpedo missed the starboard side of the bursa.
However, it was getting dark soon, and captain Izet of bursa was worried that he could not see the torpedo track clearly at night, so Philip returned to Cassandra with a lot of resentment.
A few months later, the reactionary government infiltrated the submarine docked in Cassandra port through spies, and then sent the bursa naval fleet to attack Cassandra to eliminate the threat of this submarine force to the Aegean sea route
Cassandra is at the touch of a war.
Chapter 40 A blessing in disguise
Cassandra harbor is not large enough for medium-sized ships to dock at Cassandra fortress, which is built on the mountain to protect the small Cassandra harbor behind it.
A few wisps of black smoke appeared in the southern sky, and a fleet was heading north. This Turkish naval fleet has a steam-powered cruiser, a sail battleship, a sail cruiser, five destroyers and 10 transport ships. Their goal is to hide in the "pirates" in Cassandra.
In Cassandra fortress, Kemal went to the Salonika Youth Turkish Party for talks, which was jointly commanded by Ollie and OzTurk.
"No! It’s incredible that there are sailboats in them! " Ollie was a little surprised to see that half the ships in the distant fleet belonged to the last century.
