Chapter 1524 open mouth 3)
"Go forward at full speed." Moher shouted loudly. At this moment, there were explosions outside so clearly that he had to raise his voice to let his subordinates hear it.
This is a submarine war, which is more intense than surface battles. Many submarines are constantly seizing positions and opening fire at the fleet. This scene makes every submarine soldier excited.
German submarine soldiers have a long history and rich combat experience. As early as the first battle, submarines began to shine. However, no matter how they were done, the submarines were still just a small wave in the entire magnificent war, and there was not much surprise at all.
Now, it's finally going to change.
On land, the blitzkrieg created by the German army achieved miracles one by one. The navy's large-scale expansion of the army and the aircraft carrier formation began to gradually show hegemony. Only submarines were still unknown. Now, finally, they will achieve miracles and write a strong mark for the entire World War II.
Go forward at full speed!
In the snorkel state, the diesel engine started. Following the snorkel, wisps of blue smoke emerged from the sea. The propeller at the tail of u-124 rotated at high speed and swam forward with great effort.
They want to seize the launch position.
Originally, they were ambushing the left side of the opponent's formation, and the position was very good. However, when all the cargo ships turned to the right in unison and sailed towards the Kamchatka Peninsula, they suddenly became a tail-chasing attack. In this case, unless the precious sound-guided torpedo was used, the hit rate of ordinary torpedoes was too low.
So, they have to speed up.
When sailing at high speed, the electricity from precious batteries will be consumed at an astonishing speed. The power can be sailed at a low speed for several days, and the power will be lost in one hour at a high speed. Because of the low energy of the Sterling engine, it will not work at this time.
Therefore, only by turning on the engine is the king.
Anyway, the sea was in chaos at this time, and the blue smoke from the diesel engine would quickly dissipate, making it difficult to be discovered.
Even if they are discovered, they are not afraid. They have killed all the destroyers they are escorting. Are they still afraid of ordinary merchant ships?
Move forward, speed up!
The freewheeler has an engine with only 2,500 horsepower, but it has to drive a merchant ship of more than 10,000 tons, with an extreme speed of only 11 knots. The submarines sailing at high speed quickly accelerated to 17 knots.
As it accelerated, the blue smoke on the sea began to flutter.
"Submarine, discover the submarine!" Kritis shouted loudly, and at the same time, his hand quickly shook the direction machine and the naval gun at the tail gradually turned over.
"Open fire!"
"Boom, boom!" The 100mm single-barrel naval gun fired a shell and sprinkled at the place where the blue smoke came out on the sea surface there, but it was useless, and the blue smoke was still moving forward.
This single-barrel naval gun was not originally used to deal with submarines, but was only used to deal with submarines that had surfaced. Now, it cannot concentrate its targets at all.
The anti-aircraft guns used for air defense also turned around their muzzles and shot towards the sea. While they were shooting, the barrels turned, and soon turned to their side.
This shows that the opponent has successfully seized the launch position!
Next, the terrifying torpedo attack.
"Boom, boom!" They were still firing fearlessly, and at this moment, the blue smoke on the sea disappeared.
The u-124 started the engine in order to accelerate and seize the position. Now, the position has been successfully seized, Moher ordered the engine to shut down.
In the periscope, the free wheel that was driving at full speed was still shooting blindly, but unfortunately all this was in vain. Now, it depends on your own!
An electric torpedo came out of the launch tube, and the propeller at the tail turned and swam towards the freewheel.
"Captain, please fill the rudder right away." Critis shouted loudly.
The smoke on the sea disappeared and the opponent had already seized the position, which means that the attack would begin immediately. At this time, you can only rely on turning again to avoid it.
Kritis has intuition. So far, everyone has understood that the submarine that Kritis saw yesterday was definitely not an illusion, but he really discovered the submarine, but there was only one at that time.
If they had killed this hidden submarine at that time, they would have been safe and sound. Unfortunately, they ignored it. As a result, this submarine summoned so many submarines.
Where did these submarines come from? They no longer have time to think about this question. Surviving so many submarines requires skills. Kritis has intuition and must trust him.
The captain heard the shout from the cannon position and immediately gave an order: "Left full rudder."
The heavy hull began to turn, and its speed was not high. After the steering, its speed dropped to only about 5 knots, and then it accelerated slowly, like a snail. At this time, its course was again heading west, in the previous direction.
"Damn it." Moher couldn't help but curse in the submarine u-124. The other party had predicted it in advance and turned to avoid it. Another one of his precious torpedoes was killed!
"Prepare to speed up." He gritted his teeth and gave up the order to start the diesel engine.
It was obvious that there was a sharp-eyed guy on the other party's boat. He saw the blue smoke coming out of his submarine and exposed his whereabouts. Now, he finally decided not to turn on the engine.
For submarines, they usually use diesel engines to work, and use batteries to push the submarine into an attack state after diving. This is a regular tactic. After the operation just now, Moher just wanted to save his precious electricity. Since it doesn't work, of course he gave up. Anyway, with the AIP system, it's okay to sail underwater at low speed.
Just as he was planning to occupy the position again, the target had been snatched away by another captain.
"It seems that we have caught up." At this time, in the west of the war zone, a submarine arrived hurriedly.
No. u-96, the old friend Willenbrook, who had greeted Moher, stared at the target in his periscope and couldn't help but say.
At this time, he had just arrived at the battlefield and had already entered a melee, as if a group of wolves were biting their prey together. If they came late, there would be no meat and no soup.
Now, when he arrived, he happened to see a freighter rushing into his mouth as if he was escaping from a wolf's mouth!
"The left full rudder, No. 1 launch tube, loading electric torpedo, fixed depth of 2 meters." Wilenbrook shouted.
It was better to come early than to come by. As soon as I came here, prey was sent to my mouth.
Chapter completed!
