The stupid bird flies first, and the warship that runs slowly can only be dispatched first.

The Paris Commune was the only first-class battleship inherited from the Tsarist era in the Soviet Union, and almost all of its contemporaries were commissioned in 1914.

Up to now, it has been nearly thirty years old, and the overdue service has made this battleship show the decline of the aging dragon clock, and just when it was ignited, it was found that one of the boilers had failed, so that its steam power was insufficient.

So, as a last resort, after the battleship was ignited, it drove out slowly, and the battleships behind were still waiting for the final decision of the fleet, who would command it, and so on.

In this gap, the Paris Commune had no choice but to embark on the journey first, and anyway, it had not yet escaped the cover of the port, and it was not very guarded, and it was still far from the German navy!

It had its sailor lights on, just so that the warships behind it could see it.

At this time, on the bridge, the captain Nikolai was listening to the latest telegram.

"The command has already made a decision, General Gorshkov will command our naval formation, and now, General Gorshkov is going to sea on the Red Caucasus, we are on the right course for the time being, and General Gorshkov ordered us to move on, and it would be better to repair the power system."

Listening to the deputy captain read this telegram, Nikolai had helplessness on his face, if it was possible, of course he wanted to repair the warship, but it's a pity!

In fact, there was a problem with the boiler for a long time, but the Red Navy had limited funds, and when it was invested in aircraft carriers, as well as Soviet-class battleships, it could not even spare funds to repair this battleship.

Overdue service and no mid-term maintenance made this battleship out of nowhere, which is also helpless.

Of course, Nikolai did not know that Gorshkov at this time was a little annoyed that he did not take this battleship.

"Moving on, we need to reach the designated sea area before dawn, and after dawn, the German reconnaissance planes will definitely come to reconnoiter us." Nikolai said.

They had to leave at night, and after dawn there was little time left for them.

Black smoke rose from the chimney, and the Paris Commune was on the surface of the sea, moving at a speed of 15 knots, unaware that it had gradually sailed into the hunting position of the German submarine.

"No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4 launch tubes, G7U torpedoes, fixed depth of 5 meters, maximum speed." Schupke said.

The G7U, that is, the most advanced hydrogen peroxide torpedo in Germany, only the most experienced captains can use it, because it is quite valuable, and now, against the target, Schapke has loaded four hydrogen peroxide torpedoes at once, and that is also because the target is so rare that it must be fatal with one hit!

Now, Schupke mentally calculates how his side needs to fire in order to hit accurately as the opponent sails in a straight line.

"Launch tubes No. 1, No. 2, launch!" Schupke said loudly, according to his calculations, now is the best!

Although he was loaded with four, in his eyes, two were enough, after all, the torpedo was too valuable, and he had to keep it to ambush the other Soviet warships behind him.

"Bang, bang!" The high-pressure air ejected the torpedo, and the torpedo tube was poured in with seawater at the same time, making a sound of impact, and the two hydrogen peroxide torpedoes, in a short time, sprinted to a speed of 46 knots, and sailed quickly towards the front.

Schupke had been using the periscope to observe the target.

If it was daytime, he could clearly see the small bubbles rising on the surface of the sea after the torpedo was launched, which would expose the torpedo's tracks, which was also the biggest drawback of this torpedo in use.

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

With such a large volume of the opponent, there was no reason not to hit, and Shepke was already waiting for the sound of the explosion of the opponent's battleship.

The battleships of the First World War paid attention to armor protection above the waterline, and they were afraid of being hit by the enemy's shells, but the underwater parts were quite weak.

Therefore, during World War II, many battleships were transformed on the slipway, and an important point was to increase the underwater protection force.

But the battleships of the Soviets did not, so Shepke was very confident.

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

Didn't hit?

According to the time, his torpedo should have swam to the opponent's position, but now the opponent continued to sail intact, unaffected and did not notice that it had been attacked.

I actually missed the target!

Schupke was very disappointed.

What's going on?

He operated in full accordance with the operating procedures, and at the same time, the two torpedoes were carefully maintained, there could be no mechanical problems, and it was impossible for both to fail at the same time.

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

"Left rudder, No. 3, No. 4 launch tubes, launch immediately!" Without hesitation, Schupke decided to shoot the remaining two torpedoes.

The torpedo, which was fixed at a depth of three meters, spit out small bubbles one after another under the water, and the bubbles rose upwards and floated to the surface of the sea.

It's a pity that Shepke can't see it, if it was daytime, he can see clearly, the torpedo is not in a straight line, but gradually bends, although the arc of the bend is not large enough, but it finally diverges from the target and leaves the tail of the target again!

Two torpedoes fired again, again without hitting, the Black Sea as if there was a god protecting the Soviet Navy, Shepke frowned, he already realized something.

Definitely a hydrological problem!

If a submarine wants to sail in the ocean, it must know the hydrographic data of each position.

Therefore, wherever each country has a submarine force, it has a scientific research vessel that, in the name of scientific investigation, monitors the hydrological data of various sea areas and draws detailed hydrographic data for the use of submarines.

To put it simply, the ocean currents under water may be different from those on the water, and if a submarine sails underwater, it may have a large yaw due to the continuous action of the ocean current.

Similarly, the same is true for launching torpedoes, which can be adjusted in time if they encounter a large ocean current on the side, and if the hydrological situation is known in advance, adjustments can be made in time.

In the periscope, the silhouette of the side of the target has passed, and Shepke gritted his teeth, very unwilling, could he watch the other party slip away like this?

Continue to catch up and hit from the side? No, there must be something weird in this, and you may not be able to hit it if you hit it again, so it's good to be special!

"No. 5, No. 6 launch tubes, loaded with T4falke torpedoes! Sail at full speed, full left rudder, and catch up from behind! ”
