"A thousand meters away!"

The first mate's hoarse voice sounded again, and at this moment, blood was oozing from his right arm.

This was caused by a shrapnel just now.

But at such a high level of mental concentration, this pain is like a shield and does not affect the movement at all.

"Captain, why don't you do it yet?"

The weapons officer's voice came from outside, indicating that the torpedo was within range.

The casualties on our side are increasing. The thick bullets of the 40mm cannon are just small shells. If they hit a person, they will be shattered into pieces.

"Shut up and wait for me."

"Whoever dares to open fire without my order will be dealt with according to military law."

Zhang Kangzhan's voice was full of coldness.

He stared at the submarine hunter ahead.

The weapons officer lowered his head after hearing this, and the entire team lay on the torpedo launcher, forming a shield with their flesh and blood.

This is their only 'magic weapon' to win, so nothing can go wrong.

Zhang Kangzhan's eyes suddenly became calm.

The other party is a veteran, and it often appears in confrontations in this sea area.

familiar.

It's from both sides.

Just like he understands the Osprey, the opponent also understands their fighting style.

This kind of understanding can not only kill the other person.

Sometimes, I will also ruin myself.

So, he is gambling.

"Old Zhang!"

"Eight hundred meters."

boom...

As soon as he finished speaking, a 40mm shell exploded on the port side. The gunboat shook, and several crew members near the explosion fell down. Someone was faintly thrown out and fell into the sea, and there were still... in the air.

"I know I know."

"The other side is waiting for us to slow down and wait for our opportunity to launch torpedoes."

"Then use the most ferocious firepower to cover us and kill us in one fell swoop."

"But this is also our opportunity."

"This is our only chance."

Zhang Kangzhan seemed to be talking to the other party, but also seemed to be talking to himself, constantly convincing himself.

The next second.

Veins popped out and roars came out.

"Left full rudder."

Wow

The first mate used all his strength to control the steering wheel.

The blood on his right arm floated into the air.

The next second, the gunboat The Hague made a sharp 90-degree turn on the sea, and the ship faced the Osprey sideways.

Almost parallel.

"accelerate."

There was another roar, and the first mate pressed the gear completely to the bottom without even thinking about it.

The chief engineer responsible for guarding the engines was thrown to the ground, his forehead was bright red, but his eyes were fixed on the four shaking engines.

dong dong dong

The sound of the engine was like a drum, making his heart lift to his throat.

"Dodge!"

The next second, the captain's voice was heard.

In the field of view of Zhang Kangzhan's telescope, a burst of smoke suddenly appeared from the front, middle and rear of the Osprey on the opposite side.

For an instant, he saw the Osprey stop and the entire hull move backwards for a distance.

And as the smoke rose, he also knew that the most dangerous time was coming.

"Speed ​​up, speed up."

The first mate pressed the control lever tightly and shouted loudly.

The sailors on the ship grabbed everything they could and looked at the rising smoke with grim expressions.

The chief engineer covered his chest and knelt in front of the engine, "Kids, hold on, kids."

"As long as you endure this time, I will treat you as my own sons from now on, give you the best diesel, the best maintenance, and..."

Boom boom boom

Explosions continued, and the chief engineer felt that the entire hull was shaking, but his 'sons' still insisted on their posts.

"Someone, come help."

Just as the chief engineer was praying, a shout came from above, along with constant explosions.

"Kids, hold on."

The chief engineer shouted, looked at the engine that was still shaking at the end, ran out of the engine room, and came to the deck.

At this moment, blood was scattered everywhere on the deck, a large hole appeared on the right side of the gunboat, and the surrounding steel was burned black.

Fortunately, the hole was located above the waterline and did not affect the speed of the gunboat.

"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Please help me."

The weapons officer called out the evidence, and the chief engineer immediately stepped forward to help treat the wounded.

"Be careful, catch it."

The weapons officer felt the direction of the gunboat and shouted, and everyone quickly grabbed hold of nearby fixed objects.

The chief engineer even threw himself on the wounded man, protecting him with all his strength.

In the captain's cabin, Zhang Kangzhan was holding the rudder. Beside him, the first mate was holding his abdomen, and blood was flowing out.

"Lao Zhang, give it to me and kill them."

Zhang Kangzhan had tears in his eyes and moved the rudder with all his strength.

With a full right rudder, the gunboat was like a turning truck. The huge inertia caused the entire gunboat to tilt, and even shoveled a large wave of water on the sea. After it stabilized, it rushed towards the Osprey ahead without slowing down.

At this moment, Zhang Kangzhan could see the busy people on the opponent's deck, who were busy loading cannonballs.

They were shouting loudly and doing everything possible to prevent The Hague from approaching.

They feel scared.

The captain of the Osprey opened his mouth wide.

He anticipated everything about the other person.

Including that the opponent will hit the ship horizontally at about 800 meters, then throw it out of angle, slow down and launch torpedoes.

This is the opportunity he wants to seize.

As long as there is a concentrated fire, this small gunboat of 100 tons can be destroyed even with 40mm guns, not to mention they also have 76mm guns and rockets.

But when he saw that the opponent was fighting horizontally, he did not slow down and launch torpedoes, which was unexpected.

And after the other party withstood this round of concentrated fire, they changed direction and rushed toward themselves, and things became even more serious.

"Speed ​​up, speed up."

"Open fire and kill them for me."

"Keep them away."

There was a loud noise on the Osprey. After the launch just now, the speed of the Osprey was weakened and it is now accelerating.

But at this time, Hague was gradually approaching despite the artillery fire from all around.

"It's about five hundred meters."

The first mate suddenly grinned, and Zhang Kangzhan lowered his head with a look of hatred.
