"Amur, Roger, please answer, Amur, Roger, please answer." The radio kept calling.
It was already dawn. The red Caucasus, which had been flying all night at sea, finally arrived at the scheduled sea area with black smoke, but there was no shadow of the Amur at all.
This can not help but make the personnel on the red Caucasus very anxious. Captain gihonov has been searching the sea ahead with a telescope. In the radio, the telegram is still receiving, and the radio has been replaced with a direct call.
No echo, no echo, what's going on?
Everyone on this heavy cruiser was livid.
"Captain, I suggest launching our plane and searching." On one side, the political commissar said to the captain gihonov. At this time, his face was also very ugly.
This warship is a heavy cruiser launched by the Soviet in 32 years. However, compared with those made by the Germans, we can see the huge technical gap.
At the beginning, the Soviet Union installed a b-1-k1931 60 times diameter 180mm main gun for this warship, which is powerful and surpasses the western 203mm naval gun. However, the rifling wears very fast, and even the barrel life is no more than 10 rounds!
Later, with the help of Krupp company of Germany, the gun barrel was shortened to 57 times the caliber, and the firing charge was reduced to 37.5kg. The problem was alleviated by adopting more sparse rifling distribution, so that the barrel life reached 320 rounds and had practical combat capability.
At the same time, this warship is also equipped with catapults and aircraft provided by Germany.
Yes, in this era, warships are equipped with aircraft. There are only one or two. On cruisers, they take off by ejection, and then land in the sea for recycling.
In later generations, steam catapult technology is difficult to break through. Only the United States has it in the world. In this era, ordinary hydraulic catapults are enough to drive propeller seaplanes away.
In addition to helping the cruiser "red Caucasus" transform its naval guns, Germany also provided an aircraft catapult provided by Heinkel and used the company's he55 seaplane.
As a shipborne water reconnaissance aircraft, its main task is to investigate on the vast sea. It can find the trace of the enemy in advance and provide early warning for its warships. In this era, it is already an advanced theory.
Ejection take off! After receiving the order, Colin, the pilot of the seaplane, had sat in the cockpit within a few minutes. He fastened his seat belt, opened the cockpit cover, drove the fighter plane and left the cruiser under the push of a huge hydraulic ejection.
At this time, the machine gunner in the back cabin was also acting as a lookout, faithfully performing his task and constantly searching the sea here.
Amur, the speed is less than ten knots. Even in one night, it can run out of 100 nautical miles. Therefore, as long as you search all the seas near 100 nautical miles, you can find them!
With this in mind, Colin piloted the seaplane around the cruiser, flying round and round.
Sea search is the most boring. After flying for more than three hours, the gunman in the back seat suddenly shouted, "look, ahead!"
On the sea in the distance, a ship was sailing, and black smoke came out of the chimney. From the appearance outline, it was very similar to its own Amur!
Push the operating lever and the seaplane flies towards that side, getting closer and closer.
Just then, suddenly, Colin quickly pressed the operating lever, and the seaplane drew a huge arc and rolled quickly to one side.
A series of bullets rubbed the edge of the seaplane and almost hit them!
"The red Caucasus, the red Caucasus, found the Amur sailing in the direction of the sily islands, armed men on it, firing at us!" Colin quickly reported to the rear.
They haven't found it just now because they always search along the route of Amur. Who knows, this cargo ship has left the route and moved towards Great Britain!
The sily islands, the nearest island to Great Britain, these damn Britons!
Naturally, Colin has regarded the armed men above who opened fire on himself as British.
Found the Amur and sailed to the sily islands with armed men on it! After receiving this information, Captain gihonov clenched his fist and said, "order the warship to sail at full speed!"
Full speed!
Ten heavy oil boilers are burning with all their strength, and black smoke is constantly coming out of the three chimneys. Four brown Curtis steam turbines, driven by high-pressure steam, output 55000 horsepower, driving the 9000 ton warship, accelerate, accelerate!
Sprint to the speed of nearly 30 knots, the turbulence of water appeared at the tail of the red Caucasus, the bow split the waves and sailed forward!
Never let the British take the Amur away!
The Soviet Navy was very anxious. At the same time, the British navy base in Plymouth received a short distress signal.
“SOS，SOS。” After a brief international distress signal, we couldn't contact again.
After receiving the report, the base commander thought a little and decided to dispatch a British Navy River frigate k215 nith River patrolling the nearby sea to search and rescue the signal sending sea area.
This is a class I frigate with simple structure. One 12 pound gun and five 6 pound guns are all its weapons. In World War II, this frigate was mainly responsible for the transportation of ocean cargo, rather than conducting a warship duel.
As for now, it is a good choice to carry out a search and rescue mission in peacetime.
After receiving the command from the base, the ness River turned on its horsepower and headed for the sea where the signal was sent.
"I don't know which country's ship it is." On the bridge, Captain Robert said to his subordinates while holding a cup of coffee: "this is not a channel at all. How could they come here!"
The sea was not rough, and the coffee in his hand was quite smooth.
"Report to the captain, a cargo ship was found ahead, of Soviet nationality." The chief officer shouted to him.
Soviet cargo ships? Robert took his last sip of coffee and looked at the approaching cargo ship in the distance. Suddenly, an uneasy feeling grew stronger and stronger.
"God, there's a big hole in its side!" A lookout has found this unusual.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Amur, Roger, please answer, Amur, Roger, please answer." The radio kept calling.
