Chapter 39 The Kiss of the Sea God

"What? Say it again!" Two hours later, Bernder and his sailors were rescued by the patrolling cruiser Erelli. Hearing Bernder's explanation, the captain of the Erelli, Tugay, felt that it was too incredible. He could not tolerate such a robbery of merchant ships happening under his nose.

"Where is your ship being robbed? What is the maximum speed? Have you seen them sailing in which direction?" Tujiayi came to the front of the chart and began to calculate the possibility of catching up with the other party.

"It should be this position!" Byrnd pointed to the chart. "My 'Heral' was full of cargo and the maximum speed was 18 knots. I saw them heading east!"

"Chasing at full speed!" Byrned threw down the compass and shouted loudly.

"Hahaha! Cheers!" Cassandra, everyone was celebrating the success of the first "robbery".

"General Oztulk, your method is really useful! He drove the ship eastward for a few nautical miles before going back to the north! It's amazing! When we returned to the port, we never saw the shadow of the Turkish warship!" Captain Philip said, holding his cup, and he and Oztulk were both heroes of this operation.

"I guess the Turkish captain's nose is so angry!" Kemal was also very happy. The large amount of funds and cargo on the ship greatly alleviated his urgent needs. "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, we keep the money on the ship. I think that the goods can be taken back to Germany by your cargo ship, which can be considered as repaying part of the military expenses!"

Oli nodded in agreement. The Turkish Navy has not been so arrogant that it dared to inspect German ships. "But what to do with that 'Heral'?"

Kemal looked at Oztulk, "Of course, he drove back to the sea and let it float on its own! Hahaha..."

A week later, the Turkish Navy discovered the empty "Heral" on the sea. Not only was the captain of the Erelli, Tugai, but the ship owner, also gritted his teeth. He pressed the navy through parliament and demanded that the matter be found as soon as possible. In addition, the spies from the reactionary faction also dispatched everywhere to search for the whereabouts of the missing goods, but unfortunately they could not find anything.

A month later, Captain Philip once again led a team to "rob" the merchant ships "Akan" and "Sinop". The simple and effective misleading tactics made the Turkish Navy lose twice in a row. The poor Turks finally realized that when the fourth merchant ship "Fenike" was robbed, they finally divided their troops to search in different directions.

"Hmph! I will definitely make them feel good when I catch them!" Tugayi said viciously. He and his cruiser Erely pursued north this time. When night was about to fall, he finally saw the lonely figure of the "Fenika" from the telescope, "Baby, it turns out that you are here! It's easy for me to find!"

"Baby, you are finally here! Let me kiss!" Captain Philip stared at the periscope and muttered softly.

Two torpedoes ran silently towards the Erelli with white waves.

Boom...boom...

The bow and central part of the ship Ereli were hit by torpedoes one after another, and the side of the side aroused huge water column, and then the hull began to tilt. Five minutes later, as the sailors jumped away, the 9,000-ton Turkish cruiser sank into the blue-black waves. Although the "Fenike" in the distance left some lifeboats and lifebuoys, more than 200 Turkish sailors were still buried.

In the cold sea water, Tugayi thought his warship had hit a mine, but he did not give up. The cold sea water made him come up with a wonderful idea.

On a drizzling evening, a lonely merchant ship sailed on the Aegean Sea. The deck of the merchant ship was covered with thick canvas, which seemed to be cargo that could not be drenched by the rain. In the command room, a middle-aged man was obscenely observing the sea around him. This guy was Tugay who had been soaked in the sea for more than an hour two months ago. He hid several cannons on the merchant ship, preparing to fight with Captain Philip's submarine. But it had been a month since his target had not appeared for a long time, making him so impatient that he was not as good as eating.

At this time, the sailors on the watchtower suddenly reported that something was in the right front. Tujiayi saw something strange looking floating from the sea from the telescope. He hurriedly ordered the sailors to prepare, "Hurry up! Remove the canvas and prepare the cannon!"

On the submarine not far away, Captain Philip also saw the strange situation of the merchant ship from the telescope, but a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"There are actually cannons hidden. Do they think this will kill us? The torpedo on the head of the ship is launched immediately!"

laugh……

A torpedo strung out from the head of the submarine.

"Captain! A torpedo tube has malfunctioned!" The torpedo room reported.

"Fix it quickly!" Captain Philip shouted down, now he could only expect the torpedo to hit the target.

Tugayi on the opposite merchant ship also found the torpedo, but there was no time to turn to dodge. He closed his eyes and began to pray for Allah's blessing.

One second...two seconds...more than ten seconds passed. Tujiayi opened his eyes and was still alive. On the other side of the ship, the torpedo rushed away.

"Damn it! The boat must be too shallow to draw water, and the torpedo was set too deep!" Philip was extremely upset. The drizzle weather affected his vision, so he did not notice that the boat was not loaded with heavy objects. The torpedo just now actually passed through the bottom of the boat. It was just that the roof was leaking and raining all night.

"Detect cannons are ready!" Philip had to let the sailors return to the deck. Escape was not in line with his personality. Besides, he didn't think that a few cannons on the ship could hit a submarine of his small size.

Bang...bang...

Several pillars of water rose far away from him, and he mocked the Turkish soldiers' artillery with contempt.

boom!

The rapid-fire gun on the submarine hit a huge merchant ship not far away with it, but it hit the side of the ship, which did not cause any harm to the people on the ship.

"Aim at their command room!" At this time, Philip no longer planned to capture the merchant ship, and there should be nothing valuable on it.

boom!

The second shot happened to hit the command room on the front of the merchant ship. The lucky Tugayi had already run to the deck to command the sailors to fire the gun. Looking at the command room with thick smoke coming out, he knelt down again to thank Allah for his blessing.

Although there are far more artillery on merchant ships than submarines, the advantages of rapid-fire guns on submarines in terms of firing speed and accuracy make up for the lack of quantity, and the two sides are firing fiercely at each other.

boom……

Thick smoke finally came out of the deck of the merchant ship, and the shells piled up on the guns were ignited, and a violent explosion occurred, but the Turkish warships had arrived.

"Quick! Dive!" Philip also discovered the smoke column that appeared in the distance.

The only cruiser that the Turkish Navy has left in this sea area was the Bursa. The Bursa displacement was only 8,500 tons, slightly lower than the Ellei cruiser that had been sunk before, but the ship was smaller than the Ellei and faster speed. More importantly, the captain of the Bursa Izette was not as stubborn as Tugayi. He had long guessed that the submarine attacked the merchant ship, and he knew that the submarine needed to float to the surface every period of time. So after Philip's U-006 dived, he did not stop to assist Tugayi's merchant ship, but searched eastward. When U-006 was floating and recharged, he did not force him to attack, but observed from a distance. Izette's purpose was to follow U-006 and find its nest.

"Okay! I actually want to follow us, so let's give it some great things!" Philip also discovered what the motive was that the Bursa who had been following him was. He decided to turn around and kill the Turkish cruiser. However, what made him depressed was that the torpedo tube that had failed in the first boat had to be repaired by Cassandra.

"Everyone is ready to dive! The depth is 10 meters!" After charging, Philip took his U-006 and drove over to Bursa.

"Target distance, 2000 yards! Go forward by 1/3!"

"Target distance, 1500 yards! Park!"

"Target distance, 1000 yards, torpedo preparation!"

"Target distance, 600 yards, torpedo launch!"

A white torpedo trail appeared on the sea.

"Right full rudder!" Izette discovered the torpedo launched by U-006 and directed the Bursa to quickly turn.

"Put off the periscope and go forward at full speed!" Philip pounded the bulkhead helplessly, and the Bursa actually dodged its torpedo lightly. If it weren't for the broken torpedo tube of the boat head, it wouldn't be the turn of the cruiser torpedo if it weren't for the U-007 engine maintenance today.

"Turn right 15 degrees, prepare torpedo at the boat tail!" Philip decided to try again.

Five minutes later, the torpedo rubbed against the Bursa and deviated from the starboard side.

However, soon afterwards, the sky became dark, and the captain of the Bursa Izette was worried that he would not see the torpedo tracks clearly at night, so he ordered his return. Philip also returned to Cassandra with a lot of resentment.

A few months later, the reactionary government discovered submarines docked at the port of Cassandra through spy infiltration, and then sent a naval fleet led by Bursa to attack Cassandra to eliminate the threat of this submarine force to the Aegean route.
