Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 1340 Seized

"A thousand meters away!"

The first mate's hoarse voice sounded again. At this moment, blood was oozing from his right arm.

This was caused by a shrapnel just now.

But at such a high level of concentration, the pain was like a shield and did not affect the movement at all.

"Captain, why don't you do it?"

The weapons officer's voice came from outside, and he was already within range of the torpedo.

The casualties on our side are increasing. The thick bullets of the 40mm cannon are just small shells. If they hit a person, they will be shattered.

"Shut up and wait for me."

"Whoever dares to open fire without my order will be dealt with according to military law."

Zhang Kangzhan's voice was full of coldness.

He stared at the submarine hunter ahead.

The weapons officer lowered his head after hearing this, and the entire team lay on the torpedo launcher, forming a shield with their flesh and blood.

This is their only 'magic weapon' to win, so nothing can go wrong.

Zhang Kangzhan's eyes suddenly became calm.

The other party is a veteran, and it often appears in confrontations in this sea area.

familiar.

It's both sides.

Just like he understood the Osprey, the opponent also understood their fighting style.

This kind of understanding can not only kill the other person.

Sometimes, you will also ruin yourself.

So, he's betting.

"Old Zhang!"

"Eight hundred meters."

boom.

As soon as he finished speaking, a 40mm shell exploded on the port side. The gunboat shook, and several crew members near the explosion fell down. Someone was faintly thrown out and fell into the sea, and there were still things in the air.

"I know I know."

"The other side is waiting for us to slow down and wait for our opportunity to launch torpedoes."

"Then cover it with the most ferocious firepower and kill us in one fell swoop."

"But it's also our opportunity."

"This is our only chance."

Zhang Kangzhan seemed to be talking to the other party, but also seemed to be talking to himself, constantly convincing himself.

The next second.

Veins popped out and he roared.

"Left full rudder."

Wow

The first mate steered the steering wheel with all his strength.

The blood on his right arm floated into the air.

The next second, the Hague gunboat made a sharp 90-degree turn on the sea, and the ship faced the Osprey sideways.

Almost parallel.

"accelerate."

There was another roar, and the first mate pressed the gear completely to the bottom without even thinking about it.

The chief engineer responsible for taking care of the engines was thrown to the ground. His forehead was bright red, but his eyes were fixed on the four shaking engines.

dong dong dong

The sound of the engine was like a drum, making his heart lift to his throat.

"Dodge!"

The next second, the captain's voice was heard.

In Zhang Kangzhan's telescopic view, a burst of smoke suddenly appeared from the front, middle and rear of the Osprey on the opposite side.

For an instant, he saw the Osprey stop and the entire hull move backwards for a distance.

And as the smoke rose, he also knew that the most dangerous time was coming.

"Speed up, speed up."

The first mate held the control column tightly and shouted loudly.

The sailors on the ship grabbed everything they could, looking at the rising smoke with grim expressions.

The chief engineer clutched his chest and knelt in front of the engine, "Kids, hold on, kids."

"As long as you endure this time, I will treat you as my own sons from now on and provide you with the best diesel and the best maintenance."

Boom boom boom

Explosions continued to sound, and the chief engineer felt that the entire hull was shaking, but his 'sons' still insisted on their posts.

"Someone, please help."

Just as the chief engineer was praying, a shout came from above, along with constant explosions.

"Kids, hold on."

The chief engineer shouted, looked at the engine that was still shaking at the end, ran out of the engine room and came to the deck.

At this moment, blood was scattered everywhere on the deck, and a large hole appeared on the right side of the gunboat, and the surrounding steel was burned black.

Fortunately, the hole was located above the waterline and did not affect the speed of the gunboat.

"What are you doing standing still? Help me."

The weapons officer called out the evidence, and the chief engineer immediately stepped forward to help treat the wounded.

"Be careful, catch it."

The weapons officer felt the direction of the gunboat and shouted, and everyone quickly grabbed hold of nearby fixed objects.

The chief engineer even threw himself on the wounded, protecting him with all his strength.

In the captain's cabin, Zhang Kangzhan was holding the rudder. Beside him, the first mate was holding his abdomen, and blood was flowing out.

"Lao Zhang, give it to me and kill them."

Zhang Kangzhan had tears in his eyes and moved the rudder with all his strength.

With a full right rudder, the gunboat was like a turning truck. The huge inertia caused the entire gunboat to tilt, and even shoveled a large wave of water on the sea. After it stabilized, it rushed towards the Osprey ahead without slowing down.

At this moment, Zhang Kangzhan could see the busy people on the opponent's deck, who were busy loading cannonballs.

They were shouting loudly and doing everything possible to prevent Hague from approaching.

They feel scared.

The captain of the Osprey opened his mouth.

He anticipated everything about the other party.

Including that the opponent will hit the ship horizontally at about 800 meters, then throw it out of angle, slow down and launch torpedoes.

This was the opportunity he wanted to seize.

As long as there is a concentrated fire, this small gunboat of 100 tons can be destroyed even with 40mm guns, not to mention they also have 76mm guns and rockets.

But when he saw that the opponent was fighting horizontally, he did not slow down and launch torpedoes, which was unexpected.

And after the other party withstood this round of concentrated fire, they turned around and rushed toward themselves, and things became even more serious.

"Speed up, speed up."

"Fire and kill them for me."

"Keep them away."

There was a loud noise on the Osprey. After the launch just now, the speed of the Osprey was weakened and it was now accelerating.

But at this time, Hague was gradually approaching despite the artillery fire from all around.

"It's about five hundred meters."

The first mate suddenly grinned, and Zhang Kangzhan lowered his head with a look of hatred.

"Old monster, kill him for me."

The weapons officer suddenly raised his hand, and the remaining sailors behind him immediately aimed at the osprey that began to accelerate in front.

"Kill it for me."

all.

The two torpedoes left the launcher and plunged into the continuously exploding seawater with the speed of the gunboat.

"Run it for me."

The weapons officer lay on the guardrail and looked at the torpedo submerged in the sea.

Turning a blind eye to the splash of water exploding around him.

He knew that during such rapid travel, even the slightest impact would have different effects on the torpedoes.

cluster.

Whoosh.

The next second, not far away, two white waves suddenly appeared, and then rushed towards the osprey ahead.

The next second, he felt the shells around him pause for a moment, and then he saw chaos on the Osprey submarine hunter a few hundred meters away.

Some were running, and some began to turn their guns in an attempt to fire torpedoes.

"What a fool, haha."

The weapons officer felt his body being thrown aside again as the gunboat changed direction again.

"You bastard, Old Liu, can't be more stable."

The weapons officer cursed, and the surrounding sailors were indeed staring at the submarine hunting ship in the distance.

Zhang Kangzhan wiped the blood from his forehead and shouted loudly without looking at the specific results.

"Stop fucking standing there, reload me and keep attacking."

The weapons officer reacted and prepared for people to continue loading.

Boom~~~

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came, and the entire gunboat was stunned for a moment, followed by a burst of shouts.

"Hit."

"Hit!"

The weapons officer quickly turned around and saw that a torpedo had opened a large hole in the rear of the submarine hunter. Sea water was pouring into it, and the speed had even slowed down, moving slowly on the sea surface.

"Well done."

The weapons officer shouted, and the chief engineer not far away immediately shouted, "What a shit, hurry up and help save people."

Everyone immediately ran to save people, while the weapons officer led people to continue loading torpedoes.

The personnel in charge of the battle controlled the twin cannons and continued to tilt the firepower.

Zhang Kangzhan was controlling the gunboat, while medical soldiers were treating the first mate's wounds.

The bleeding has stopped, but his face is pale.

"Lao Zhang, were you hit?"

"It was hit in the rear. It seems that the transmission machine is broken. He probably won't be able to escape."

Zhang Kangzhan said excitedly, then slowed down, distanced himself, and ran past the Osprey.

By the time the ship passed by one side, the entire Osprey had tilted more than 20 degrees. The right side was like water and the left side was tilted high.

"Let's go to the other side."

Zhang Kangzhan's eyes flashed, and he immediately drove the boat to the cocked part on the left side of the Osprey.

"Stop shooting."

"The messenger."

"Send them a signal and give them three minutes to surrender, otherwise they will be sunk."

Zhang Kangzhan controlled his speed and approached slowly.

At this time, the opponent's squad A was raised and the artillery had lost its range of fire.

The life and death of the other party is in their control.

The messenger immediately ran to the front of the gunboat, waving flags with pride.

Once, twice, three times.

After three times, Zhang Kangzhan began to pinch his watch.

The weapons officer had the torpedoes ready.

Today, if they send this hunting submarine to the bottom of the sea, they will receive supreme honor.

His life was worth it.

"Damn, this boat is so nice."

Patting the guardrail, the weapons officer kept sighing, "The speed we entered the water just now must have been more than forty knots."

"This way, you can launch a torpedo and still hit it."

"Old Fu, your motivation is guaranteed. I'll give you credit."

The chief engineer next to him heard this and immediately ran to the engine room.

"Get out of here, I can use this old monster like you to record your merits."

Only then did he remember that he still had four 'sons' to serve.

"This old Fu."

The weapons officer looked at the tilted hunting submarine in the distance and scanned where to add another round to make this big ship his own military exploits.

But just as he was thinking about it, the battle flag on the opponent's ship was slowly lowered, and it was replaced by a white flag.

"what's the situation?"

The surrounding sailors were also confused.

"This, is this surrender?"

Someone suddenly said, and then...

"Surrender, surrender, hahaha."

"A bunch of cowards, the sea is not yours, go home quickly."

command room

"Old Liu, look, hahaha"

There were tears in Zhang Kangzhan's eyes, tears of excitement.

The first mate was holding the wound, his face was pale, and he was indeed laughing non-stop.

"We have made a great contribution, we have made a great contribution."

Twenty minutes later.

The gunboat Hague dragged its prize in front, and the tilted Osprey advanced slowly.

The chief engineer looked at the four engines that had returned to normal output, and the engineers around him couldn't hear what they were saying.

From now on, these engines are his sons.

Be sure to take good care of it.

Behind the Osprey, more than a dozen lifeboats were connected by ropes, carrying people who fell from the Osprey.

The sailor in charge was full of pride and his eyes were not looking at the big ship in front of him.

Next to this long string, a fishing boat followed closely, and the fishermen on it also held weapons and were responsible for guarding these prisoners.

This time, not only did they defeat the opponent, but they also captured a large ship. This was definitely the first time since the establishment of their fleet.

great merit.

What a great achievement.

In the command room.

Zhang Kangzhan was drinking water from a kettle with a smile on his face. Opposite him was the captain of the Osprey.

A middle-aged man in his forties with a depressed face.

"I didn't expect that your ship would be different."

"It was a wrong move."

"Otherwise, our position today would not be like this."

Zhang Kangzhan put down the kettle and sneered, "Humph. Mr. Major, ever since you stepped into this sea, the outcome has been doomed."

"Being an enemy of the people will never end well."

"However, if you don't fight to the end, you can still be saved."

After saying that, he was escorted away.
