If you are lucky, a torpedo can destroy a cargo ship, but now it is obviously an accident, and the other party's reaction is too fast.

Generally speaking, when a cargo ship is attacked, the crew will definitely panic and abandon the ship and flee. However, now, the other party can quickly damage the pipe and let the ship continue to float, which means that the person above is not an ordinary sailor!

This aroused Major Prien's interest even more. He must sink the cargo ship!

What to do next? Continue to launch the second torpedo?

Of course not!

A T2 electric torpedo cost 25,000 Empire Marks, which is of course very expensive. You should know that a BF109 is only 43,000 Empire Marks. Two torpedoes can build an aircraft.

While aircraft can be used continuously, torpedoes are one-time. It is actually quite luxurious to deal with cargo ships and torpedoes.

I used one before, but now I can’t waste the second one anymore!

In addition to being expensive, the number of torpedoes carried at one time is also limited, and the power of these torpedoes must be fully exerted!

So, now Major Prien will not waste it anymore.

"The tank drains and floats up." Major Prien shouted: "The gunner is ready."

Float!

The submarine is in the water, which is the result of the balance of gravity and buoyancy. If the submarine's ballast tank is filled with water, the gravity will increase and it will sink. Now, if you want to float to the surface, you need to use compressed air to discharge the seawater in the ballast tank.

With his order, the submarine soldiers opened the pipeline. When high-pressure air passed through the pipeline, a buzzing sound rang out of the entire pipeline. Then, the submarine gradually emerged from under the sea water.

Just like a dragon coming out of water, sea water continues to flow down the surface of the submarine. When the entire water tank is empty, the top of the submarine is completely exposed.

Submarine Youde was the first to open the hatch on the top. In an instant, a cool sea breeze blew over. He took a deep breath. This feeling was awesome!

Even if the submarine already has a snorkel, the air inside the submarine is still quite dirty, and the smell of diesel is almost never dissipated.

When the submarine has the opportunity to float, it is the greatest happiness to be able to come out and breathe.

However, Youde is not here to breathe, he has more important tasks.

At this time, the submarine was shaking irregularly. As it was shaking, the submarine soldier Youde ran towards the front of the deck.

There, there is an 88mm naval gun.

Unlike the smooth-looking streamlined submarines in later generations, the submarines of this era are still very primitive. From the appearance, they look more like a surface ship.

At the same time, its weapons, in addition to torpedoes, also have deck cannons!

In the early days of World War II, German submarines did not encounter any attacks from powerful Allied anti-submarine forces in the Atlantic Ocean, and most of them were single-ship hunting.

Therefore, when German submarines encountered a single cargo ship of the Allied Powers, in order to save valuable torpedoes, they often floated to the surface and attacked the cargo ship with an 88mm deck gun.

Even in the war, a large German XXXC submarine relied on a 105mm deck cannon and launched a gun battle on the sea with a US escort destroyer on the turbulent night!

At that time, most of the time the submarine was sailing on the surface, and deck guns were a must-have.

At the same time, compared with the naval guns on other warships, the biggest difference between this deck gun is the anti-rust treatment.

The sea water is salty and will soon rust if there is no protective measures.

The barrel coating and special paint can prevent rust. In addition, the submarine must be trimmed every time it returns to decelerate the deck gun, replace parts, etc.

The gun door at the back is sealed, and at the same time, a cover is added to the muzzle in front to cover the muzzle so that water will not enter the barrel.

For example now.

Yud, who was running up hurriedly, quickly disassembled the cover of the deck cannon, which was the first task.

In the Atlantic submarine warfare in history, the floating and diving of submarines are extremely common. In a panic, a boat will be in a hurry to fire the gun and not have time to take off its gun mask, causing a blast accident.

This first task is very important.

Behind him, two crew members ran over.

The crew in the middle will open the main lock cabinet below the control compartment and store the shells inside. This is a small watertight ammunition lock cabinet.

After disassembling it, he quickly moved the shell out and handed it to the person next to him. The man brought the shell out and could just stuff it into the cannon chamber.

"Recharge is complete!" he shouted loudly.

Youde had already run back to the back of the gun position at this time. He quickly shook the high and low aircraft and the 88mm naval gun barrel, and turned it.

"Distance three hundred, right in front, let it go!"

"Boom!" Amid the huge explosion, 88mm shells flew towards the Navassota cargo ship opposite.

Bruce stood at the bow of the ship, watching the submarine float out of the sea, and watched the other crewman come out to fire. At this time, he could do nothing but watch.

This is a cargo ship.

Although the cargo ship's cargo warehouse contains weapons, these weapons are all inside the cargo warehouse. In a short period of time, it is impossible for them to take the weapons out of the cargo warehouse.

Is it useful to take out a few rifles at most? In this case, a naval gun showdown must be used!

"God, what are they doing? We are civilian ships!" In the cockpit, the bearded captain looked at the artillery fire on the sea in the distance and couldn't help but curse loudly.

If the other party just fires torpedoes underwater, then they can refuse to admit it afterwards and betray the debt. After all, no one sees them. However, now they have surfaced with naval guns. This is simply lawless. Do they still take the Geneva Convention seriously?

"Boom!" This gun accurately hit the middle of the cargo ship, and instantly opened a big hole on the side of the ship's side.

No one can save this cargo ship anymore. After all, it is just a cargo ship. This cannon made the sea water gush in! The capsizing of the ship is right in front of you.

"Boom!" The second cannon sounded!

Compared with expensive torpedoes, shells are much cheaper, and since they have already opened fire, they certainly cannot be finished all at once!

The manual loading speed is not slow either. The second shell flew over ten seconds later!

"Boom!" The second shell landed next to the first shell. The second explosion directly tore the ten thousand-ton cargo ship into two halves!

The Navasota cargo ship broke from the middle, and the front and back halves were pouring into the sea water frantically. The ship was completely helpless!
Chapter completed!
