The convoy went fast with the wind, and when the next day it passed through the North Sea into the English Channel, and the third into the Atlantic Ocean and went along the coastline of the Gallic Empire to the Strait of Gibraltar. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The vanguard fleet was lucky, the weather was very good along the way, the wind direction was smooth, and the fleet sailed calmly to its destination. During the journey, the cabin of the Assassin was bustling like a bazaar. The communications company soon became friends with the special reconnaissance battalion, and everyone bragged and chatted and played cards in the bed cabin for fun.

The special reconnaissance battalion, which was not on the battlefield for the first time, did not show any nervousness, as if this departure was a parade. It also dispelled the fear of the Egg Communications Company technicians and engineers, who were all recruits.

In the daily contact, Nanren and the battalion commander Gao Zhenguo also became good friends. Don't look at Gao Zhenguo as a major battalion commander, he doesn't have any fight at all in normal days, he can get along with anyone, and he brags and farts with the soldiers when he has nothing to do.

The soldiers didn't seem to be in awe of the battalion commander either, and they talked about it all day.

Gao Zhenguo is still a gossip character and is very interested in the communications troops. After learning the details, he rarely and seriously proposed that this communications company would definitely be an indispensable branch of the armed forces in the future in warfare, and he proposed to learn communications technology.

Nanren agreed to Gao Zhenguo's request, but also proposed that he would learn military technology in exchange for communication technology. After all, it's going to be a battlefield, and it's still important to hold on to it temporarily.

The two gathered together and agreed that Gao Zhenguo would learn communication technology in the morning, and Nanren would learn military knowledge in the afternoon.

To Nanren's surprise, don't look at Gao Zhengguo's big grin, his military literacy is very high. When it comes to expertise, it's easy to talk about.

How should special scouts cooperate, how to reconnoitre, how to judge the enemy's situation, how to use retreat. The use of squad tactics, platoon tactics, company tactics, and battalion tactics. All kinds of professional knowledge are very easy to understand in his mouth, which is very easy to understand, which benefits the military idiot Nanren a lot.

Most importantly, Gao Zhenguo also taught how to kill.

Nam Ren listened to all the military knowledge with fascination, and only when he heard how to kill people with weapons, Nam Ren always teased him. As a citizen of the 21st century, the most cruel thing Nanren has ever done in his life may be killing chickens.

As for killing, that's what only happens on TV and movies.

Whenever he saw himself mention how to kill, Nanren always looked unbearable. Gao Zhen Guozong would smile coldly, and then tell Nam Ren that in addition to having cool judgment on the battlefield, he is ruthless to the enemy, and kindness will only make death closer to him. In particular, Nam Ren is now a captain and company commander, and he has hundreds of lives in his hands, so he must be responsible for these more than 100 people.

Ci is not in charge of the army, and Nanren may continue to be promoted in the future, and may command a battalion, a regiment, and a division. How to kill people on the battlefield is the most basic technique.

On the fifth day, the ship sailed into the North Atlantic, and just when everything seemed to be calm, the Assassin went wrong. The rudder at the bottom of the ship failed, and the captain Zhang Yiting judged that it might be entangled in seaweed, and he needed to stop and remove the seaweed before he could continue sailing smoothly.

After reporting to the flagship, the commander of the vanguard fleet told the Assassin transport to stop for repairs and wait for the follow-up main force to come up and join up again, while the other ships went to the designated location as planned.

Watching the fleet leave, Gao Zhenguo's voice rang out again, "Zhang Yiting is a second lieutenant, it's okay not to be with the fleet."

Zhang Yiting replied while arranging for the crew to prepare to go into the water to cut seaweed: "No problem, it's not the first time I've run this channel, if it is repaired in advance, we don't have to wait for the follow-up fleet, and a single ship can sail to Constantinople." ”

Gao Zhenguo shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about your ability, it doesn't matter usually." But now that the war is going on, I'm worried that one of our transport ships will not have the protection of a combat ship, what if we encounter the Allies? ”。

Zhang Yiting said with a smile: "Don't worry, the fleet of the treaty country will definitely block the shipping lane as soon as the war starts." This area of water is the domain of our contracting countries. The fleets of Great Britain, the fleets of our Duchy of Tang, and the fleets of Gaul will all pass through this route, and they will not appear in this sea unless the fleets of the Central Powers are looking for death."

"Oh! That's good" Gao Zhenguo made up his mind, thinking carefully that he was worrying blindly, if there was a problem, the commander of the vanguard fleet would definitely not arrange it like this.

The Assassin folded its sails, dropped its anchor, and secured its hull in the middle of the sea. Several experienced crew members jumped into the sea with knives in hand and began their diving operations. Finding that the ship had stopped, quite a few soldiers went up to the deck to get a breath of fresh air.

It was noon, the weather was clear, and the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean were as calm as a mirror under the golden sun. Although they have been at sea for several days and have been dealing with the sea every day, the beautiful scenery still fascinates the officers and soldiers of the army.

Nanren stepped onto the deck and leaned on the side of the ship to watch the crew jump into the sea. Seeing that the water was blue like a sapphire, Nam Ren was also itching to jump down and swim. I sighed in my heart, such a beautiful day, it would be better if there were a few bikini beauties frolicking in the water.

Just thinking about it, Mao Tianshi's inquiry sounded in his ears: "Captain Nan, look ahead, it seems that a ship is approaching."

Nanren looked up and saw a black dot faintly on the horizon in the distance approaching rapidly, and when he looked closely, it looked like a rather large ship.

Not only did Nanren see it, but the crew who was scouting on the mast also spotted an uninvited guest in the distance, shouting: "Captain, there is a ship approaching at high speed at 8 o'clock in the bow of the ship, and they will rush at us when they see the course."

After receiving the warning, Zhang Yiting picked up the binoculars and took a closer look. A second-class sail battleship is seen in the footage, approaching at high speed.

"It's strange, I've never seen the shape of this ship, it looks like a transport ship, and it doesn't look like it." Zhang Yiting looked at it for a long time and saw clearly the national flag of the approaching ship, flying the rice flag of Great Britain. "I've never seen a transport ship of this shape in Great Britain, is it a new ship?"

"What's the matter, isn't it an allied ship?" Gao Zhenguo next to him asked.

Putting down the binoculars, Zhang Yiting was puzzled: "It's flying the flag of Great Britain, but I haven't seen the shape of this ship, it's not like a transport ship, but like a second-class sail battleship." Maybe I'm thinking too much, this is the latest Britannica's transport."

"We still have to be careful, we can't move now, we are a live target at sea." Gao Zhenguo expressed his opinion.

Zhang Yiting nodded and shouted to the crew on the mast: "Give the other party a flag and ask them about their identity." After saying that, he picked up the binoculars again, looked at the unknown ship that was gradually approaching, and after waiting for a while, the other party's mast tower appeared in the telescope, and a crew member also stood on the tower. It seems that they have seen their own flag, and the crew is talking back in the flag.

"They said they were merchant ships from Great Britain, and they were going to North Africa from here to ask if we needed help, and they should be allies." Zhang Yiting translated the other party's flag language.

Gao Zhenguo's hanging heart was put down, and he said: "It's good to be an ally."

Everyone relaxed and watched the ships in the distance approach quickly. Soon, the black dot turned into a behemoth. A huge ship sailed more than 200 meters away from the Assassin, and the flag of Great Britain fluttered in the sea breeze.

The soldiers and crews watching the scenery from the deck waved their hands to the allied ships in accordance with international practice. The crew members of the opposing ship also waved politely and greeted their allies.

"No, there's a problem?" Suddenly, Zhang Yiting, who was staring at the allied ships, noticed that something was wrong, and he found that the other ship was very wrong, the side of the hull had obviously been refitted, but the outline of the second-floor shelling deck was still retained, and when he got closer, it was obviously a second-class sail battleship.

Before the words could be spoken, the opposing ship began to turn and quickly approached the Assassin. The rice flag hanging from the mast is lowered, symbolizing the raising of the Slavic Empire's black double-headed eagle flag on a gold background. At the same time, the planks on the sides of the ship fell, revealing a double shelling deck, and dozens of guns were raised out of the muzzles.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack" shouted from the Assassin, and the sudden change of events caused confusion on the deck.

The sound of "boom" shelling sounded, and the side decks were filled with fireballs, and the cannon flames flickered as the shells exploded on the Assassin. Sawdust splashes, screams, and the smell of blood spread. The anchored Assassin had no power at all, and was a live target. Dozens of artillery pieces fired a salvo at close range, all hitting the target.

"Click!" The cracking sound of the cannonball hitting the mast was heard, and the thick mast fell heavily on the deck with a huge sail, crushing a large number of soldiers who had no time to escape.

At this moment, the Assassin completely lost power.
