Chapter 369 This is just the beginning

The Polar Dawn approached the Rishin Maru, and the two whaling ships clamped the Rishin Maru and the Polar Dawn in the middle, and at this time, the Third Yongxin Maru stood in front of the protest ship again.

There are a total of five ships, crowded in a small area, and the distance between ships is only forty or fifty meters at most, which is a very dangerous distance.

A protest ship called the Polar Dawn has been following the whaling fleet dominated by the Rishin Maru. The Polar Dawn cannot keep up with the three faster whaling ships, so the Polar Dawn adopted the strategy of surrounding Wei and saving Zhao. When the three whaling ships left the Rishin Maru and went to whaling, the Polar Dawn harassed the Rishin Maru. Then the three whaling ships had to stop whaling and returned to the side of the Rishin Maru, and attacked the Polar Dawn with high-pressure water guns, trying to get the Polar Dawn to leave.

The entanglement between the Polar Dawn and the Rishin Maru has created excellent conditions for attack for the Avengers. The only thing Avenger needs to consider now is to be careful not to injure the Polar Dawn.

When Gao Yang said an attack immediately, Uri Yangke clapped his hands and said with excitement: "Guys, guys, take action and use what we have prepared."

Everyone did the same thing, pulling a hood out of their clothes pockets and putting it on their heads, revealing their eyes and mouths, and then putting on sunglasses.

Before departure, Uriyangko knew that the Rishin Maru had a considerable possibility of being accompanied by protest ships. No matter which protest ship was organized, there would definitely be cameras, and even helicopters to conduct reconnaissance and aerial photography in the air. Therefore, it is essential to wear a hood to cover your face.

Pavlovic also brought a hood to himself. With his order, the attack on the Rishin Maru immediately began.

The four crew members ran to the fore deck and lifted the fishing net covering the torpedo launch tube aside like lifting the cannon's suit.

The cab of the fishing boat turned into the command room of the warship. Instructions were issued from Pavlovic's mouth, and then those who received the order would completely execute Pavlovic's order after repeating it loudly.

"Torpedo powered detection. Ready to launch."

"The torpedo is powered on and detected, and the torpedo is in good condition and can be launched."

"The heading is maintained and the speed is reduced to three knots."

"Yes, the course maintains the speed of nine knots."

The Avengers approached from the right side of Rishinmaru, and the speed was getting slower and closer.

Although the sudden appearance of the Avenger attracted everyone's attention, there was no response from the fleet Avenger. Especially after the Avenger slowed down significantly, the second Avenger, who was guarding the second Akinan Maru to the right of the Rishin Maru, had no movement at all.

The struggle between whaling fleets and protest ships has been going on for decades. Both sides know each other very well and know each other clearly what methods they will use. So, just use all your skills to force the other party to retreat.

Gao Yang's heart was beating faster and faster. He stared at the Rishin Maru. As long as he dealt with the whaling ship on the starboard side of Rishin Maru, he could directly bombard Rishin Maru with torpedo.

When the distance was about six or seven hundred meters away from the second Akinan Maru, the speed of the Avengers dropped to three knots. In order to maintain the ability to aim at the target at any time, the Avengers could not stop completely.

Finally, Pavlovic issued an order to attack.

"One torpedo on the left, launch!"

A total of six torpedoes are placed in a symmetrical manner on the left side. The torpedo on the left side on the bow is the first one on the left, which is the 53-39 direct-season torpedo, the second on the left is the 53-65 self-guided torpedo, and the third on the left is the white-headed A-244 light torpedo, and the torpedo on the right corresponds to this.

After a puff, a 53-39 torpedo suddenly shot out into the sea from the torpedo tube on the left side of the bow. Then, the torpedo engine began to work, drawing a straight white line on the water surface at a speed of forty knots, like a sharp arrow, rushing straight towards the second Zhaonan Maru.

In modern naval battles, it is difficult to hit a warship with a direct torpedo, because the warship will hide and perform large serpentine maneuvers, and there will also be short-range protection measures on the ship. Therefore, the combat method of using direct torpedoes is usually a fan-fired battle, so that the enemy ships can't avoid it, so as to improve the hit rate.

However, whaling ships are not warships, and the Avenger can shoot torpedoes at almost face-to-face distances, just like putting a gun on a person's forehead and firing.

The several whaling ships and the Polar Dawn who were concentrating on the back and forth had noticed the Avengers long ago, but they ignored it. A krill fishing ship was watching the excitement at close range. This was nothing strange. After all, the confrontation between whaling ships and anti-whaling ships is not so easy to see. On the vast sea of ​​the Southern Ocean, anyone would like to see this kind of excitement when they encountered it, and whaling ships had long been used to it.

However, in the eyes of the crew on the second Akinan Maru, this time it seemed a little different. A Japanese crew member leaning on the deck and slid the guardrail to look at the Avengers. When he saw a thick and thick black thing jumping into the sea not far away, and then a white line approached him at a rapid speed, the crew member was very curious.

"Hi, come and see what this is, it's so strange and fast."

The curious Japanese crew member had never thought of anything like torpedo. Anyway, the Polar Dawn was on the other side, and they had nothing to do for the time being, so he called the crew members who were waiting on the deck to come and see the white line.

Seven or eight crew members rushed to the right, and the white traces caused by the torpedo moving forward rapidly on the opposite side were extremely clear. Looking at the extremely fast white line, a crew member who was huddled to the edge of the strings of the ship said in a daze: "Everyone, what is this? Why do I have an ominous premonition? This looks like a torpedo, but how could there be torpedoes here? Watanabe, you have served in the Navy, what the hell is this?"

"Ah, it's really like a torpedo, but it's definitely not a torpedo, right?"

Several crew members turned their attention to the leading Japanese, who was slowly walking from the high-pressure water gun to the side of the ship.

"Are you guys all idiots? How could there be torpedoes here? That's just a fishing boat, a fishing boat that catches krill, idiots, or do you think there is a submarine on the sea? What the hell is it, um? Ah? Ah! Torpedo, that's torpedo!"

The torpedo that sailed at a speed of 40 knots was only thirty-five seconds, and the second Zhaonan Maru was basically stopped at the same place. Even if they discovered that the torpedo was from the beginning, they could not escape the fate of being sunk.

Watanabe's screams at the top of his lungs made the crew members around him realize that things were not good. Those who responded quickly turned around and ran away immediately, although he didn't know where to run, or, to run there again.

The man named Watanabe did not move. It was not that he didn't want to move, but that although he subconsciously wanted to run, unfortunately, his legs were weak at this time. He wanted to pull his feet and run wildly, but his legs were out of control. He stared in horror and rushed straight to his feet. Then, there was no loud noise. Watanabe felt that he seemed to have flew up, and then, he knew nothing, because before he realized that the explosion had occurred, he had been killed by the huge impact.

Gao Yang watched the torpedo being launched, and watched the torpedo stab at one-third of the front of the hull at high speed. Then, he saw a pillar of water soaring into the sky, and the second Zhaonanmaru was also flying into the sky with the sea water.

The 400-kilogram high-explosive warhead caused an explosion when the trigger fuse touched the hull. With its huge power, the second Zhaonan Maru, which had a displacement of 1,500 tons, first arched the bow upwards, and then the entire hull left the sea surface and flew to a height of five or six meters in the air, and then broke into two parts in the air.

The water column caused by the explosion was at least 200 meters high. When all the water columns fell, the second Zhaonan Wan had basically completely sunk into the water. The second Zhaonan Wan disappeared, leaving no traces except a whirlpool on the water surface.

It was just a torpedo, and the second Zhaonan Maru disappeared quickly, and it was very neat.

It was too fast. Gao Yang, who had witnessed the whole process, was completely stunned. Gao Yang, who launched the attacking party, was shocked, not to mention Rishinmaru, who was still fighting for whaling. So after a deafening explosion, although everyone saw the tall water column, they still didn't know what was going on.

Second, Akinanmaru sank into the sea without warning or sending any information. The crew on the deck of Rishinmaru, looking at the empty sea surface and the Avengers not far away, broke their heads and could not think of what had happened just now.

Gao Yang didn't expect the second Aonan Maru to sink so happily, but after Grolev next to him suddenly cheered, Gao Yang woke up like a dream. After waving his fist vigorously, he shouted: "Damn, die, you guys!"

Pavlovic looked at Gao Yang and the others angrily, and said angrily: "Shut up, and shout again and go out."

After roaring at Gao Yang and the others, Pavlovic immediately ordered loudly: "A torpedo from the right, launch!"

The next thing you can directly attack the Rishin Maru, because the obstacles that blocked Rishin Maru have been cleared, and this process took less than a minute, and this speed completely exceeded Gao Yang's imagination. However, Pavlovic, who is familiar with the torpedo and knows the power of the torpedo, seems to be prepared for it, so he immediately issued an order to launch the second torpedo.
