Chapter Seventy-One: Anomaly
The movement of the House's battle in the distance naturally attracted the attention of the crew on the Harry, and unlike the worried expressions of the Harry crew, Duarte and the other members of the House were much calmer, and they did not seem to be worried about the battle situation in the distance.
Obviously, after these two naval battles, Fang Lang has set up a powerful message for all the soldiers, which is why many troops have high combat effectiveness, and having a commander who can lead them to continuous victories has a very significant effect on the combat effectiveness of this army.
The crew of the Harry was rescued by Duarte from several cabins at the bottom of the ship, and there were no other personnel losses except for the captain of the Harry, Reinhardt, who was shot in the right leg and the deputy captain who was killed as an example.
The rescued people no longer had the pride of the English aristocracy, and everyone became depressed and disgraced. It's a bit of a slump.
Originally, Duarte wanted to ask about the reason for the hijacking of the Harry, but after thinking about it, his mission was only to rescue the crew of the Harry, and the commander did not ask him to investigate the reason.
But before receiving Fang Lang's order, Duarte did not dare to take it upon himself to let the crew of the Harry take over the Harry directly. After all, it is impossible for the Harry to continue fighting until the reason for the hijacking is investigated.
The battle of the House was quickly decided, and Duarte saw the House winning again through the telescope, and looked at the crew of the Harry, which was under centralized management, and an inexplicable sense of pride stirred in his chest.
Duarte himself came to the bridge and connected the communication of the House:
"House, this is Harry, please answer if you receive it."
"Harry, House, please speak."
"Boss, we have completed the rescue mission of the crew of the Harry as planned, please instruct."
"Duarte, well done, do we have any casualties?" Fang Lang is most concerned about whether his crew will be lost.
Hearing Fang Lang ask about his casualties, Duartton replied with a little shame:
"Report to the boss, two members of the commando team were killed and four were injured."
Unexpectedly, there were no casualties in the naval battle, but two soldiers were killed in order to save the Harry, and the wounded soldiers did not know if they could recover their combat effectiveness.
However, Fang Lang was not too sad, being a soldier eating food and dying on the battlefield was the fate of the soldiers, and there was nothing to be sad about.
"How's the crew of the Harry?"
"Report to the boss, except for the death of the co-captain and the leg wound of the captain, the rest of the crew of the Harry have been rescued from the bottom bilge."
"How many enemies are there?"
"Boss, we killed thirty members of the German Navy who hijacked Harry."
Hearing Duarte's answer, Fang Lang couldn't help but be stunned, first, he didn't expect that the 350 crew members of the Harry would be hijacked by 30 Germans, which couldn't help but make him impressed by the combat effectiveness of the British Imperial Navy.
Second, I didn't expect that my 30-member commando team would be able to wipe out more than 30 people in the German Navy. Although, two of their own people were killed and four were wounded. But the Germans' combat effectiveness should not be so bad either.
In fact, there are many reasons why the commando team can go so smoothly, one is that the Germans found that there were only seven or eight people who came to the rescue, and they relaxed their vigilance, thinking that their plan had succeeded.
Originally, it was planned to introduce everyone into the cabin and take action to eliminate several people, but the so-called rescue of the commando team was fake from beginning to end, and in this kind of intentional and unintentional situation, the commando team took the lead when they did not enter the ambush circle, completely disrupting the enemy's deployment.
And approached covertly, and the team members who suddenly appeared attacked from behind the enemy, completely making the enemy a mess. The commandos had been serving on destroyers of the same type and were certainly more familiar with the terrain than the enemy, who had just captured the enemy ship.
Therefore, the victory of the commandos was well deserved.
Hearing Fang Lang's silence, Duarte had to take the initiative to speak:
"Boss, what about these Harry crews. Are we handing over the Harry to them? ”
Duarte's words made Fang Lang groan again. He was considering whether he needed to consult Lieutenant Commander Becky directly, the commander of the convoy. Just now, I had been worried that the enemy would pass through the Harry and listen to the communications between the House and the fleet, so I never dared to report the situation of the Harry to the command of the escort fleet.
However, after thinking about it, Fang Lang still decided to find out the reason why the Harry was hijacked.
"Duarte, you have two men to transport the main officers of the Harry to the House in a transport boat, and I will first find out from them what happened. Tell the fighters not to give them a chance to collude, I need to know the real situation. Do you understand? ”
"Yes, boss, I'll arrange for the fighters to send people over right away."
The House continued to cautiously detour closer to the Harry, and soon the lookout post reported that a transport boat was approaching the House. Fang Lang heard the report and picked up the binoculars, and with the help of the already slightly white sky, Fang Lang saw a traffic boat approaching the House quickly.
I don't know why Fang Lang felt that the Harry was very dangerous, and his sixth sense issued a warning again, which made Fang Lang very strange. Why does the Harry, which has already been controlled by his own side, still give himself a sense of danger!
Fang Lang now trusts his instincts very much, since his intuition tells him that the Harry is in danger, then the Harry must be in danger. Hurriedly returned to the bridge to connect with the Harry's communications.
"Duarte, are you sure you've taken over the Harry entirely?"
Hearing Fang Lang's question, Duarte was confused. Hurriedly replied:
"Boss, yes, now the crew of the Harry is under our control."
"Have you checked the number of people?"
"It has been checked according to the roster, and all the personnel are there."
"Hold all the crew in custody and conduct a thorough search of the entire ship. See if there's an enemy hiding. ”
Duarte never discounted Fang Lang's orders, understood to carry them out, and did not hesitate to implement them if he did not understand. So without hesitation, I said:
"Yes, boss, do it right away."
Fang Lang raised the telescope again and looked at the Harry from a distance, wanting to see the name, but unfortunately he didn't find anything abnormal. But the sense of danger remains.
Soon, the soldiers came over to inform the officers of the Harry that they had arrived, and Fang Lang did not have time to pay attention, because as the House rotated clockwise around the Harry, as it approached the stern, Fang Lang's sense of danger became more and more obvious.
Fang Lang ordered without hesitation:
"Left rudder twenty."
Although he didn't understand why Fang Lang was turning, the driver still did not hesitate to follow the instructions and turn the boat.
As the House began to deviate from its original direction, the warning of danger weakened again. This made Fang Lang very strange and didn't understand what the reason was.
What kind of secrets did the Harry hide that would make him feel this danger.
Duarte's voice came over the radio again:
"Boss, we have checked all the cabins one by one, and we have not found any anomalies, nor have we found any hidden enemies, please instruct."
Of course, Fang Lang believed Duarte's words, but this also made Fang Lang not understand, since there was no abnormality on the ship, why would his sixth sense call the police!
Fang Lang raised the telescope again and looked at the Harry. He once again carefully observed the waters around the Harry, and finally determined that his instincts of danger still came from the Harry.
This made him puzzled, but he couldn't ask the people around him, after all, intuition is such a thing, and others may not believe it when he says it.
So he simply, and didn't think much about it, since Reinhardt had been escorted to his ship, wouldn't he know if he asked him! What do you want to do with so much!
"Duarte, be careful, there must be someone on the radio, and you can report the anomaly at any time, understand?"
"Yes, boss!"
Turning around, he ordered:
"We made a detour to the left, all the lookout posts, radars, sonars to pay attention to the situation of the Harry, and if there is any abnormality, we must ensure that I am notified as soon as possible."
"Yes, sir!"
Fang Lang was still uneasy and raised the telescope to observe the Harry for a while before he reluctantly put down the telescope. After tidying up his military uniform, he walked towards the cabin where Reinhardt and the others were being held, hoping to find the reason for his uneasiness in Reinhardt and the others.
