Chapter 154 Sea Confrontation

It is impossible for a cargo ship to have large holes for no reason. Moreover, after approaching, you can find that there are large holes on both sides!

How is this going?

The River Neith had sailed side by side with the cargo ship, but the cargo ship did not move, and no one came out.

"Go up and have a look." Robert said to his subordinates: "Send two clever boys."

There is strangeness everywhere. Judging from what is known now, this cargo ship may have been hijacked by pirates, and then the ship sailed here alone.

Just, how is this possible? Now, where are there pirates at sea!

"Woo!" Just as Robert gave the order, a huge whistle sounded from behind.

"Report to the captain, there is a Soviet warship rushing towards us!"

Soviet warships? At this time, the other party was right behind the two ships. Robert didn't see it, and could only hear the report of the young man behind: "God, they didn't slow down, hurry up, let's turn quickly, we will be hit by the Soviets!"

The red Caucasus with a displacement of 9,000 tons is in a state of sprinting at full speed. The steam turbine is running at high speed, and the propeller at the tail is churning the sea water. The battleship is rushing over!

"Bump, smash the British warship!" On the bridge, Tikhonov's eyes were firm.

When they came over, they saw the British warship, sailing side by side with the Amur, like protection, more like supervision, and all of a sudden, Tikhonov felt a burst of blood in his mind.

This group of gentlemen on the surface, but they dare to do such nasty things as robbery behind their backs!

Hit, hit!

For the Soviet officers, they are not afraid of collision at all, and even collision is one of their tactics. Now, when the cannons cannot be fired, collision is more appropriate!

With a fierce whistling, the red Caucasus was rumbling over.

And here, already sailing side by side with the Amur, ready to build a bridge, the British warship HMS Neith, which I looked at in the past, was instantly shocked, and the collision is always a small loss! The displacement of one's own side is only one-tenth of that of the other side, so how can it withstand the impact of the other side!

"Right full rudder, right full rudder!" Robert put down his coffee cup and firmly grasped the handrail beside him.

Full right rudder! The helmsman turned the steering gear to the far right, and then the bow of the warship crossed an arc and began to turn to the right. At the same time, the hull began to tilt.

Fortunately, the current speed is slow. If the speed is fast, the inclination of the hull will be greater!

"Reverse the propellers, reverse the car at full speed!" Tikhonov gave orders everywhere, watching the British hurried away like a startled rooster.

The impact just now was more of a threat, but now, this tactic has been successful.

Under his intimidation, the British walked away, so now, he must stay with the Amur and protect the Amur!

There are no brakes on the warship. It is not so easy to control the 9,000-ton warship.

The propeller at the tail reversed at full speed, and the water splash made a rushing sound. Under this reaction force, the huge warship began to slow down.

Even so, it was too late, and the Red Caucasus moved slowly, rushing past the Amur.

At this time, everyone could see clearly that there was a big hole on the side of the Amur!

Thinking of the British leaning on this side just now, I can't help but wonder, was this hole made by the British with naval guns?

"Navy guns, aim at English chops!" Tikhonov shouted loudly.

naval gun!

The 180mm naval gun was slowly turning around. Inside the turret, several sailors, shouting horns, began to reload with simple machinery.

Yes, manual loading. In this era, the Soviet naval guns have not yet developed an automatic loading system. They can only be simply loaded manually. This is a laborious task, and at the same time, it is quite dangerous. , If the warship shakes, accidents will occur at any time.

Of course, they are not afraid, they have long been used to it.

Here, the 180mm naval gun was aimed at the British warship, and Robert was extremely depressed.

I'm wronged, I just heard the distress signal and came to rescue, but now, in the eyes of this Soviet warship, it's clear that I thought it was my own robbery! Compared with the Soviet warships, this Jianghe-class is too weak, especially in terms of firepower, the most powerful of this warship is the front 12-pound gun.

Pound is a unit of weight, 12 pounds is based on the weight of the projectile of the naval gun, if it is measured by the muzzle, it is 115 mm.

A 115mm caliber gun and a 180mm naval gun are definitely not an order of magnitude!

And now, although the opponent is not as strong, it can't fall into the prestige of the navy! You know, the UK is still an empire on which the sun never sets! The British Navy is absolutely not to be offended!

Who knows what the Soviets are doing. In short, since the Soviets have bad intentions, the UK doesn't need to have any good looks!

So, on the River Ness, the naval guns also turned in unison, aiming at the red Caucasus here. What if you have a large displacement? Just a big target! What kind of prestige is your ship that was not completed in World War I and was refitted later?

At the same time, the radio waves calling for help soon returned to the base. At this time, quickly call the fighter jets to fly over to save the siege! If the Soviets dare to fire, let the Soviets have a taste of bombs!

The Soviets are on fire. There are 600 tons of gold on this Amur. For this gold, the Soviets can do anything!

The British are also on fire, what does it have to do with me? I'm here to help, but I've been treated as a bad guy!

The two sides were at each other's throats.

No one noticed that at this time, the real mastermind had already driven the speedboat dozens of nautical miles away from this land of right and wrong.

After the operation last night was completed, the other three teams were evacuated, leaving only a few people led by Skorzny, who drove the ship, changed direction, and came all the way in the direction of the United Kingdom.

At the beginning, the Red Caucasus was not found, and the search route was determined according to the speed of the heavy ship. After the gold was removed, the cabin was empty, and the speed was naturally faster!

The highest speed, soared here, and after being discovered by the Soviet seaplane, he gave the other party another round of bullets, and the other party quickly left due to insufficient fuel.

After that, Skorzny sent a distress signal, leaving the Amur to sail and take everyone away.

The rest of the mess depends on how the British and the Soviets deal with it. If they can fight, then Germany will clap and applaud.
