Chapter 827: Close the net

"Alert!" When the British watchman had not come to report the news first, a row of shells had already told the Stars about their current situation!

The violent explosion sound and the water column of more than ten meters made the Americans on the ship aware of the crisis. The radio operator ran to the transmitter quickly, preparing to transmit this information through medium waves. And when he put on the headphones, a burst of noisy sound came over. As a transmitter of the US Navy, he naturally knew what was going on. When several transmitters were transmitting near the frequency. Mutual interference, and now, he can be sure that the British are interfering with his communications, and the US Navy has done similar experiments!

"We're in big trouble!" Faced with the almost inextricable interference, the transmitter immediately got up, then slammed the stool under the buttocks towards the transmitter, while the colleagues next to him began to burn the codebook and related information. The documents, thick smoke gushing from the telegraph room!

"They are destroying the evidence! Let's hurry up!" Major Wells immediately ordered ship a to move up and fired with small-caliber artillery and machine guns!

"Stop the ship! Surrender!" The British slogan issued an ultimatum. The Star Star tried to avoid the opponent's attack, but for this powerful auxiliary cruiser with a speed of 16 knots, such behavior was naturally futile. , Accompanied by a round of small-caliber artillery high-explosive shells falling on the Star, the flames spread wantonly on the deck. The entire bridge was half swallowed by flames and smoke, but even so, the camouflage supply ship tried to escape the scene.

"Using a 6-inch cannon! The Yankee hasn't recognized the situation!" With the command of Major Wells, the thick and long 152mml40 gun aimed at the target. With the violent back seat of the gun, a high-explosive shell hit the target In the middle of the ship, a shining spot of light disappeared, and then a ball of flame rushed out of the breach, and by the way, a big hole of ten square meters was pierced!

And when the 6-inch gun fired, the limit of the Star finally arrived. The Star, which was originally the backbone of a civilian ship, was beaten all over, but when several shells directly killed the boiler compartment, the Star couldn't even escape! When the distant target ship gradually stopped, a group of British soldiers boarded a small boat and waited for the ship.

"Isolate all personnel for review. I authorize you to use all feasible interrogation methods. I only need the results, not the process! Also, by the way, search for the remaining equipment and documents on the ship. If you can find the new German password, then Great," Major Wells ordered.

Accompanied by the noisy noise and sporadic gunshots, the British navy boarding personnel quickly controlled the situation, while escorting some personnel to ship a and ship b. British navy technicians also began to collect the remaining technical equipment and documents on board.

And that night, a telegram was sent by the British with a brand-new code. Half an hour later, when Major General Kur received the telegram, he immediately called Major General Thomas who was about to fall asleep!

"We found them! At 200 nautical miles northwest of the Chagos Islands! In the next three days, the German fleet will go to this sea to join the supply ship! And now, we intercepted the supply ship and know the time of their supply. And the location! Your Excellency, now the rest is up to you! The lifeline of the British Empire and the safety of the Indian Ocean depend on the performance of you and your fleet!" Major General Kurt said excitedly to Thomas!

"Found it? This is the best news I've heard this year!" Thomas was also agitated, and his sleepiness disappeared immediately. He immediately went to the bathroom to wash his face, and then immediately asked all the senior officers of the fleet to prepare for a meeting. The British must now race against time. It takes about two days for the fleet to reach the ambush area, leaving him time to prepare in the port. Not much, now I am afraid it can be calculated in minutes!

In the eyes of ordinary people, now that the time and location of the ambush and the formation of the opponent's warships have been determined, it is enough to start the film directly, what else to discuss? If fighting is so simple, wouldn't it be a waste of time for a general to have more than ten years of military career and several years of naval education? Especially this time Thomas’s fleet also belongs to the away game. He played against the Germans in a place he was completely unfamiliar with, so he must get help from his colleagues in the Indian Ocean!

"Need the help of our other warships?" Major General Kur asked. As a navy commander of the British Empire, what do you like to do most? Naturally, it is the overall advantage of the British Imperial Navy to crush the opponent cleanly! For example, in history, the British used their cutting-edge battlecruisers to take down the armored cruiser of Earl Spey in the Falkland Battle.

In the view of Major General Kurt, this time, although the Thomas Fleet has the advantage, it is still difficult to hunt down battleships in the open sea that the theoretical speed may exceed his own. Therefore, Major General Kurt intends to mobilize some troops to participate in the battle against Su Xiong. The fleet is being chased and intercepted.

"No need, it's too late." But Thomas didn't appreciate it. This is because British warships in the Indian Ocean are generally predominantly old-fashioned fearless, not to mention the limited combat effectiveness, and the low speed is terrible! This kind of teammate can't rush to the battlefield immediately~www.wuxiaspot.com~Secondly, he thinks that in this sea area, the sudden appearance of British warships will actually start the war! Therefore, his requirements for the fleet are very simple. Regardless of whether he can fight or not, at least the speed must be above 24 knots. There are already many warships that can meet this requirement. But even less can be transferred in a short time after reaching it!

"Then your pressure may be very high, because in an open sea, such an ambush is likely to turn into a chase." Major General Kuhl did not feel dissatisfied because of Thomas' refusal. On the contrary, he was very for the other side. For your sake.

"I need some supply ships with speeds above 16 knots!" Thomas thought for a while and said.

"No problem, and we happen to have such a supply ship in the port of southern India. They are closer to the battlefield. Although the speed is slower, they will not arrive later than the fleet. I can send a telegram now." Said the general.

"Is there really such a ship?" Thomas knew how rare such a supply ship was. Even in the second war in history, such a professional supply ship could be classified as a high-speed oil tanker. Not to mention now?

"These ships were originally intended to cooperate with the Indian Ocean Squadron to clear out those auxiliary cruisers after you dealt with the German fleet. Some of the German auxiliary cruisers also have high speeds, so they need to provide additional supply ships for the hunting fleet. Now, I'll use it for you first." Major General Kuer said with a smile.

"Then I thank you again, General Kuhl." Thomas said.
