Chapter 637 Mirage
"Shut up!" The captain shouted, and then issued an order to the adjutant: "Chasing at full speed! Contact the air anti-submarine reconnaissance aircraft and put a few sono buoys in front! ...Major Cras, I'm sorry for your experience. Haven't you heard that six elite submarines of the Third Reich were sunk by a strange submarine in the southern waters of Britain the week before? Although your military rank can't expose you to such secrets, isn't hearsay always your strength?
The vice captain named Crace blushed with anger and roared: "You are wasting the war resources of the Third Reich. You will definitely be punished!" Then he left angrily.
The captain sneered, "completely stupid!"
His adjutant kicked a little, "Captain, maybe you shouldn't offend him. Although this boy is very annoying, his uncle..."
The captain curled his lips and said, "Let him and his uncle go to hell. Before the six submarines sank, the telegram clearly stated that there was such a small aircraft accompanying him. Isn't it very similar to the aircraft that just attacked Wilhelmshaven? Do you think General Ryder will let us search for British submarines for no reason? He must know something to do this.
"I want to say that this British contingent is really bold. They actually blew up the Fate's favorite battleship Tirpitz. The Fate personally modified the layout more than a dozen times for this battleship! This is his favorite toy than the built battleship Bismarck!" The captain seemed to have some admiration in his eyes. If I can capture these British people alive, I must ask them how they did it?

In the alchemy warship cabin, the book demon turned back to the old scholar, looking sadly at the image transmitted by the 'Eye of Insight', "That destroyer seems to have found us and is chasing us..."
"Then let's simply sink him?" Zhang Fan said.
The book demon shook his head, "Now he is just suspicious, just tracking us, and other ships will not leave the search area for no reason. But if we kill it, I'm afraid other ships and planes will gather together, and then we will be in trouble.
"Then if you are chased by him like this now, it will be exposed sooner or later!"
"There is a way..." The book demon murmured, "If we can sink this destroyer before it sends a confirmation signal, then the German navy will think it may be an accident and will only send a few patrol ships to see the situation."
Zhang Fan sighed, "Even if we kill him with one shot, we won't have time to stop them from sending a signal..."
"You forgot that our alchemy warships have the skills of mirage..."
............
"Report to the captain, a reef appeared five nautical miles ahead, and it seemed that a shipwreck was looking for help on the reef..." The sailors on the watchtower reported to the captain in the cockpit through a communication device.
"Strange..." The captain looked at the message sent back by the soona detector, "There doesn't seem to be any reef in the soona detection, and I don't know how many times I've been to this sea. I've never heard of Ming reefs? Let the sailor wait. Let's go up to the deck and have a look... You keep an eye on the underwater monster..."
went up to the deck. By the moonlight, the destroyer captain found an abrupt reef in the telescope, on which a man in rags was waving the kerosene lamp in his hand and signaling to this side. A small wooden boat is bumping with the waves beside the reef...
"This is a little strange. In my impression, there are no reefs in this channel, even if there is no reef... Do you remember?" The captain put down his telescope and asked his deputy, who was also observing the reef carefully. There seemed to be no problem.
"I haven't heard of it, but the North Sea is very large, and we may have deviated from the channel. Even if there are reefs not marked on our charts, it is normal. The sea here is relatively shallow, which is common. The adjutant replied, "The question is whether we want to save that guy. It looks suspicious..."
"Of course, we have to save. According to the Ocean Rescue Convention, we have obligations, and maybe that guy is the British spy we are looking for! Maybe he can ask the truth about the attack on Wilhelmshafen..." The captain did not hesitate to let the destroyer lean over. Even ordinary fishermen may have a harvest. There hasn't been a storm here yet. How can there be sea victims?
At this time, a sailor brought a sonar record. The adjutant took a look at it and immediately said to the captain, "It seems that there is something wrong. The sea monster stopped in front of it. The distance is the location of the reef..., uh! It really can choose a place. It's difficult for us to get close to the reef and drop deep-water bombs... If it's a British submarine, they shouldn't be that close. It seems that it's really a sea beast..."
"Don't rush to make a conclusion... Get close to 200 meters and release the lifeboat. Well, let the brothers who go take the gun..."
............
"They really came close... slowed down... It seems that they are trying to save people." The book demon's eyes shine.
Zhang Fan was also very nervous. He stared at the image of the sea shown by the Eye of Insight and saw that the German destroyer inlaid with the Nazi logo was slowly coming towards the top of his head, looking very cautious. You can even see several officers dressed on the bow deck, looking this way with binoculars while saying something...
At the quiet seabed, the sound of the sonata "tower-tower" released by the destroyer is boring and rhythmic. At such a close distance, the alchemy warship must be exposed in the other party's soona system.
"Our current position..." Zhang Fan's voice is very small. At the bottom of the sea, the transmission of sound is much faster than in the air. A little special vibration may be captured by the other party's voice.
The book demon carefully checked the charts of his collection. "I'm afraid it's not good. We seem to be moving in the opposite direction of Britain. Now we are located in the sea near Denmark in the North Sea."
When I first went to the North Sea fishery, I had already deviated far from the waterway. Later, I was blown away by a deep-water bomb by a German destroyer. I kept running to the northwest of the gap searched by Germany, farther away from Britain...
In the sky, three wooden gulls and semi-mechanical mantis are still within the communication range, but the specific positions of the two sides are no longer known. Because the only Muyuan equipped with the "Eye of Insight" auxiliary eye, which has detection ability and can transmit information to each other with the alchemy warship, was driven away for help. It is very difficult for the two sides to establish a communication relationship beyond the team, and the specific positioning is even more difficult.
In the sky, under the leadership of Goblin, everyone can barely follow the general position of Zhang Fan's alchemy warship. It's just that the clouds in this area are getting thicker, and I'm afraid there will be a storm. At that time, it may be the moment when the two defenses lose contact. Because in extremely bad weather, the spiritual abilities in the sky will also be violent and disordered, which brings great obstacles to the long-distance contact of the 'Eye of Insight' in the alchemy warship.
However, this is very helpful for alchemy warships to search for German sea and air forces. At that time, as long as you travel quickly on the seabed, out of the search range, or find a deep-water trench with a depth of more than 400 meters, you can effectively avoid being discovered by the other party. Because of the sona system and deep-water bombs during World War II, they could not penetrate below 350 meters.
But within the North Sea, most of them are flat sea basins of more than 150 meters. If you want to find such a deep area, I'm afraid you have to go to the Atlantic Ocean. This is really a fascinating thing...
"The destroyer has entered the attack range..." The book demon stared at the image.
"They stopped and put down the lifeboat..." Zhang Fan put his hand on the table, stood up and stared at the image.
"Prepare to attack..." The book demon ordered the 'Eye of Insight', "The most powerful spiritual shock wave!"
............
"This is really a strange place..." The captain of the destroyer muttered. He was a little confused, but he didn't know what the problem was? It seems that the reef and the person in distress...
"It's so quiet..." The adjutant next to him suddenly sighed.
This sigh made the destroyer captain's heart suddenly contract. He looked at the sailors on the rubber boat struggling to row towards the reef in the distance. Suddenly, he thought of something and shouted, "Let them come back!" This is a trap! It's the sinking of that monster!"
At this time, the captain suddenly thought of what the problem was. Why is this place so quiet? The fallen man has been waving the kerosene lamp in his hand on the reef for half an hour. Isn't he tired at all? And it's so close, but you haven't heard the call for help from the victims? Is he a mute? But he clearly shouted!
He shouted loudly, ordering the sailors on the rubber boat to come back while ordering the warship to set sail! But no one paid attention to him. The adjutants and sailors beside him were all confused, with strange smiles on their mouths, as if they were intoxicated, looking at the reef. It seems that there are things that are very attractive to them...
The captain looked back at the reef, and the scene in front of him made him stand up with cold hair!
Where are the victims on that reef? Where are the kerosene lamps?
There are several beautiful mermaids sitting on the reef! Their exquisite figure, graceful, shiny big eyes, staring at the crew helplessly, the harp in their hands made a touching note, their lovely and plump lips sang gently, and the melodious songs and harmony were ethereal, as if they were floating from the edge of the sky and penetrated straight into their hearts...
The captain's tears fell unconsciously. The song reminded him of his grandmother telling himself the story of a mermaid when he was a child, his father's hard work, his brother's death in the war, and his comrades-in-arms sinking with the warship...
