Chapter 2680: Catch

"Okay, Captain, we are ready, we can guarantee that the British telegraph machine will not send any signal!" said the US Marine Corps officer in charge of boarding.

"If you can, I hope you can seize their puzzle machines and codebooks." Little Spruance said. Ten minutes later, with several small boats being put down, the capture plan known as Operation Fisherman in history began to be implemented, and this became one of the classic tactical victories of the US Navy in the Pacific War.

Half an hour after releasing the 4 small boats, little Fletcher received a very brief telegram, and the translation only had one word ok! This means that the boarding team has arrived at the predetermined location and can launch an attack at any time!

"It's okay now." Looking at the sunset that has fallen from the west. Most of the hull of the USS Louisiana armored cruiser has been melted into the edge of darkness and sunset, and because the Swordfish is closer to the west relative to the American battleship, the 6-meter rangefinder on the top of the battleship’s mast, the US Navy also The target can be captured steadily, and at this time, the distance between the two parties is close to about 14 kilometers! And the small boat released before should have entered within 2000 meters of the Swordfish!

With the help of the servo, the eight 10-inch l45 naval guns on the Louisiana quickly aimed at a distant target, because I didn’t know whether the opponent was a simple transport ship or an armed merchant ship, so according to the predetermined plan, If the target ship is found to have artillery-class weapons, the US Navy should immediately destroy it, because if it is an armed merchant ship, it is almost impossible to capture it with the boarding team, so it can only be destroyed by force.

"Release the seaplane! After the plane is released, the boarding team will be signaled. First, the seaplane will issue a warning. If the opponent does not stop the boat, the seaplane will directly attack the ship’s antenna. Then suppress the surface personnel, and finally let the boarding team board Target ship.” Spruance Jr. verified the attack steps one last time.

"Start!" With the three seaplanes being hoisted on the water in turn, and then taking off, the U.S. Navy's capture operation has entered the countdown, and the distance between the two sides is about 12 kilometers! The plane was only a few minutes past, they would fly at low altitude to avoid being caught, and then suddenly jump up when they reach the target!

This time, God was on the American side. When the American seaplane descended from the sky, most of the British were eating dinner. When the sharp sound of machine guns and warnings passed through the air, more than 70% of the British were stunned!

"This is the Navy of the United States of America! We order you to stop the ship for inspection immediately! If there is resistance or damage to the equipment, we cannot guarantee that you will be treated as prisoners of war!" The harsh warning sounded in the sky, and when it entered the ears of the British At the howl of the **** of death, they knew what was on their ship! A large amount of fuel and ammunition, as well as a codebook and transmitter that can communicate with the Japanese fleet!

"The chief mate immediately destroy the codebook and the cipher machine, and I will deal with the Americans!" Captain Cowes said.

"They will kill us. They will not show mercy to our men." At this moment, the first officer also persuaded. If he was serving the Royal Navy, he would naturally not back down, but now he is working for the Japanese, the British The government will not recognize their identities, and they do not have any navy identification. As a result, their identities will be embarrassed. They have weapons and are hostile, but they are not identified. Then they will not be protected by international laws and conventions, even if they kill them, they will kill them for nothing!

"Go! Just destroy the cipher machine!" Captain Cowes said loudly, and at this moment, another seaplane flew from the height of the mast of the Swordfish and took a long string of bullets and one round. The smoke bomb was thrown on the deck of the Swordfish! The white smoke with a strong pungent smell spread quickly on the bridge, and the dense bullet holes on the deck clearly told the British what the consequences would be if they refused! At this moment, some members of the Swordfish completely collapsed, and the other crew members of the Swordfish had stopped the ship without the captain's order. And just when almost everyone focused on the seaplane in the air, the fleet had already started to climb with special tools!

The first team immediately went to the telegraph room after boarding the ship. This position is very easy to identify. The cabin under the communication antenna is the telegraph room. In order to prevent people from resisting or destroying key equipment, the Americans directly opened the way with shock bombs and tear gas. After a burst of flashing light and billowing yellow-white smoke, the American soldier wearing a gas mask kicked the door open and then filed in. After knocking down an already shocked person to the ground, the Americans began to search. Important code book and puzzle machine!

At the same time, the other two teams quickly boarded the ship. One team was ready to take over the entire transport ship directly in front of the bridge, while the other team began searching house by house and then drove all the British crew to the deck. The last group of personnel rushed to the warehouse. Although the Americans were sure of it, they still needed to check every time they caught the wrong target. At the same time, they must also be careful about the British playing a dead fish and breaking the net. What if there are flammable and explosive goods stored in the cargo hold and the British light the ship...?

The entire assault process was very straightforward, and after the two diehards were beaten into briquettes, the whole ship fell silent. The remaining twenty-odd crew members were concentrated on the front deck of the Swordfish, and American Captain Wilson, who was involved in a complex assault, began to prepare to **** the captives.

"Who is the captain!" Wilson threateningly waved the m1911 pistol in his hand~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and pointed the gun at a trembling crew member.

"He has been killed by you." The crew member tremblingly pointed to a corpse in the distance and said.

"Well, who is the chief mate! Who are the telegraphers in charge of communications?" Wilson snarled impatiently on the deck. "Stand up quickly!"

After that, the first officer of the Swordfish stood up, and Wilson immediately ordered a small group of soldiers to **** the first officer to the cabin to collect all the missing documents and objects. The rest are prepared to be escorted back to the Louisiana in batches and then interrogated in isolation. Thanks to the vigorous and vigorous actions of the U.S. Navy, the British did not have time to destroy the dummies and codebooks, and even most of the documents, including logbooks and charts, were still there. On this ship, the Americans seized at least 4,000 tons of coal and heavy oil and more than 50 tons of ammunition. Of course, most of these ammunition were secondary artillery shells.
