The stupid bird flew first, and the slow-running warship could only move first.

The Paris Commune is a Gangut class and is the only first-class battleship inherited from the Tsarist era in the Soviet Union. It and its contemporaries almost all entered service in 1914.

It has been around for nearly 30 years and has been in service for an overdue service, which has made this battleship look old and declining. When it was ignited, it was discovered that one of the boilers had a malfunction, which made it insufficient steam power.

So, after the battleship was ignited, it drove out slowly. The battleship behind was still waiting for the fleet's final decision, who would command it, etc.

In this gap, the Paris Commune had to embark on the journey first. Anyway, it had not yet left the cover of the port, and it was not very prepared. It was still far from the German Navy!

It had a navigation light, just to see the warships behind it.

At this moment, on the bridge, Captain Nicholas was listening to the latest telegram.

"The headquarters has made a decision, and General Gorshkov is commanding our naval formation. Now General Gorshkov is heading out on the Red Caucasus. Our course is temporarily correct. General Gorshkov ordered us to continue and best to be able to repair the power system."

Listening to the deputy captain reading this telegram, Nicholas had helplessness on his face. If possible, of course he wanted to repair the warship, which was a pity!

In fact, the boiler had a long time ago, but the Red Navy's funding was limited. After investing in aircraft carriers and Soviet-class battleships, it could not even withdraw funds to repair the battleship.

The over-term service and no mid-term maintenance have caused the battleship to fail, which is helpless.

Of course, Nikolai didn't know that Gorshkov was a little annoyed because he was not riding on this battleship.

"Continue to move forward, we need to reach the designated waters before dawn. After dawn, the German reconnaissance planes will definitely come to detect us." Nicholas said.

They had to leave while the night was dark, and after dawn, there was almost no time left for them.

Black smoke came out of the chimney, and the Paris Commune was driving at a speed of 15 knots on the sea. It did not know that it had gradually entered the hunting position of German submarines.

"No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4 launch tube, g7u torpedo, fixed depth of 5 meters, maximum speed." Shepke said.

g7u, that is Germany's most advanced hydrogen peroxide torpedo. Only the most experienced captain can use it because it is quite expensive. Now, to deal with the target, Schepk loaded four hydrogen peroxide torpedoes at one time, which is also because the target is too rare and must be fatal with one blow!

Now, Shepk quickly converted in his heart, how to launch his side in order to accurately hit the target during the other side's straight navigation.

"Puke No. 1 and No. 2, launch!" Shepke said loudly, according to his calculations, it is the best now!

Although he had loaded four, in his eyes, two were enough. After all, the torpedo was too precious, and he had to keep the other Soviet warships behind him.

"Bang, bang!" High-pressure air ejected the torpedo, and sea water poured in the torpedo tube at the same time, making a shock sound. Two hydrogen peroxide torpedoes sprinted to a speed of 46 knots in a short time and sailed quickly towards the front.

Schepk has been using a periscope to observe the target.

If it is during the day, he can clearly see the small bubbles that rise on the sea after the torpedo is launched. It will expose the traces of the torpedo, which is also the biggest disadvantage of this torpedo in use.

And now at night, there is no such concern, so you can use it with confidence and boldness!

The opponent's size is so large that there is no reason not to hit him. Shepuk is already waiting for the sound of the opponent's battleship explosion.

During World War I, the battleships focused on armor protection above the waterline and were afraid of being hit by the opponent's shells, but the underwater part was quite weak.

Therefore, during World War II, many battleships were renovated on board, and the important point was to increase underwater protection.

But the Soviet battleships did not have one, so Shepk was very confident.

Time passed by little by little, and Shepk's face was full of disappointment.

Didn't hit it?

According to time, his torpedo should have swam to the other party's position, but now the other party continues to sail intact, without any impact, and has not been found to be attacked.

I actually off the target!

Shepke was very disappointed.

What's going on?

He operated completely according to the operating procedures. At the same time, these two torpedoes were carefully maintained. There could be no mechanical problems, nor could both fail at the same time.

In the moonlight, the Paris Commune was still sailing and was about to leave his attack range soon.

"Left rudder, No. 3 and No. 4 launch tubes, launch immediately!" Without time to hesitate, Shepke decided to shoot out the remaining two torpedoes.

The torpedo with a three-meter-degree depth spit out small bubbles under the water, which rose upwards and floated onto the sea.

Unfortunately, Shpk couldn't see it. If it was during the day, he could see it clearly. During the sailing, the torpedo did not walk in a straight line, but gradually bent. Although the curved arc was not large enough, it finally made it separate from the target and left the tail of the target again!

The two torpedoes fired again did not hit the Black Sea, as if God was protecting the Soviet Navy. Shepke frowned, and he had already realized something.

It must be a hydrological problem!

If a submarine wants to sail in the ocean, it must know the hydrological data at each location.

Therefore, all countries have submarine troops, and they have scientific investigation ships. In the name of scientific investigation, they monitor hydrological data in various seas and draw detailed hydrological data for submarines to use.

In simplest terms, underwater currents may be different from those on water, and if submarines sail underwater, they may have a greater staggering due to the continuous action of the ocean currents.

Similarly, the same is true for launching torpedoes. When encountering large ocean currents on the side, the torpedo will bend trajectory. If you know the hydrological situation in advance, you can make timely adjustments.

In the periscope, the outline of the target's side had passed. Shepuk gritted his teeth and was very unwilling to accept it. Could it be that he watched the other person slip away like this?

Continue to chase and fight from the side? No, there must be something strange here, and you may not be able to hit it any longer. Just go to a special one!

"No. 5 and No. 6 launch tubes, load the t4falke torpedo! Navigate at full speed, full left rudder, chase after you from behind!"
Chapter completed!
