Chapter 996: Endure loneliness
Oxygen is very valuable when it is tired, and its biggest feature is its fast speed.
In torpedo attacks, fast speed is of great significance, because in this era, the technology is still quite backward, specifically, there is no self-guidance function of torpedoes, whether it is sound guidance, or what wake self-guidance and the like, they can still be far away, and most of the ways of torpedoes are self-propelled.
The target is calibrated before launch, and it is completely in accordance with the personal judgment of the submarine commander, according to the course of the opponent, the speed, and the amount of advance in the launch, in short, there is no difference from firing a bullet.
If the target is spotted, the target will maneuver, for example, if you slow down immediately, you may let the torpedo swim in front of you, accelerate and let the torpedo fall behind you, and so on.
Therefore, the torpedo attacks of this era were all attacked on the side of the side of the opponent's ship, the side of the channel.
In this way, the faster the torpedo travels, the less time is left for the opposing side to react.
To deal with important targets, with oxygen torpedoes, it is possible to soar to a high speed of fifty knots, and against ordinary targets, it is enough to use electric torpedoes.
Especially now, in order to rescue the crew who fell into the water, the target actually abandoned his martial arts and stopped!
All kinds of maneuvers of the ship require speed, so to speak, there is speed, there can be everything, in the case of stationary, it wants to steer, only with the help of the role of the tugboat.
And now, when he heard the sirens of the two torpedoes, the captain Chloe realized that he had made a serious mistake, in the presence of enemy submarines, he actually did not search for the enemy submarine first, but first rescued the people who fell into the water!
This mistake is unforgivable, now it is a state of war, in which the fight against the enemy is the primary goal!
When the sonar officer raised the alarm, Chloe already regretted it, and at this time, he still wanted to do his best to save his warship: "Give up the rescue, accelerate immediately, and move forward three!" ”
Hasten! The steam pressure in the boiler was still full, and when the engineers followed the order, the steam turbine immediately turned and drove the propeller at the tail to rotate rapidly.
However, the propeller is easy to turn, and the boat accelerates, it is not so fast, it takes time!
"No!" On the sea, a crew member who was struggling to swim towards the warship shouted loudly, this warship, straight towards him, the bow of the ship split the waves, ready to split him in half at any time!
He was exhausted, and watching the silhouette of the warship get closer and closer, he gave up his efforts, perhaps, this was his fate.
"Boom!" Just when he had already closed his eyes, a huge explosion was heard in front of him, and the warship, suddenly, shook, followed, and stopped advancing.
The wave on the bow of the ship was gone, and the warship began to slowly tilt to one side, and in the last moments, the captain was still trying to save the warship.
Why two torpedoes? That's because the opponent has locked all his movements, one aims at a stationary position, and the other aims at the front of his route, so that one will always hit!
For such a warship of more than 2,000 tons, as long as one hit, it will hurt the muscles and bones.
Although the crew of the warship was struggling to salvage, the ship was slowly tilting, tilting, and it looked like it was about to sink.
At this moment, the Alunward, which was slow behind, finally arrived!
"Quick, search for that submarine first, take it out!" Chloe was furious, and just before the radio was about to stop working, he shouted at the Allenward.
Kill it first!
The underwater world is silent and silent, and only those who can endure loneliness can become a qualified submariner.
Otto is such a person, in normal times, he doesn't talk much, but every word he says, is useful, for example, now, he has given a new order: "Dive to a depth of two hundred meters, keep silent, and the sonar officer is on high alert." ”
Two hundred meters deep! After all, its design depth is more than 240 meters, and Otto also knows that the Americans' anti-submarine depth bomb does not exceed 150 meters, because in this world, there has never been a submarine capable of diving more than 200 meters.
Just now, he had already wrecked two ships, and for him, this was only an insignificant feat, just like eating and sleeping as usual.
The diesel engine in the tail has not started, the whole submarine is quite silent, and every sailor walks cautiously, for fear of making any noise.
The sonar, on the other hand, is listening attentively.
"They are unleashing anti-submarine deep bombs." The sonar officer reported.
Dozens of seconds later, an explosion was transmitted through the seawater, and the crew was still at ease.
"Depth of explosion, fifty meters." The sonar man continued to report.
Their explosion is still far from here! There was no fluctuation of the current on the hull, and it was conceivable that it was tossing around.
Yes, it's just a blind toss.
When surface ships search for underwater submarines, they mainly rely on sonar to determine the location of the target, but now, when no sound can be heard, surface ships can only use stupid methods.
Depth bombs, explode at a certain depth of sea water, if you can blow the opponent out, then it is best, if not, it is just a waste of some deep bombs, this kind of thing is very low.
At a depth of fifty meters, the Alenward let out a circle of deep bombs, and then waited for half an hour.
There was no oil dirt, nothing floated up, and it was quiet down there.
Set the depth of one hundred, continue to put!
On the second lap, the Allenward released a deep bomb again, this time adjusted to a hundred meters, and the sound of the explosion was hilarious, but, after waiting for another half an hour, nothing was found.
One hundred and fifty meters, release all the remaining deep bombs!
The sound of explosions kept coming, the movement was very loud, and pieces of dead fish kept floating upward, but there was no underwater sound.
What does this mean?
Is that submarine already gone, or is it continuing to wait below? The Allen Ward didn't dare to judge, after all, the tragic situation of the Bargre was just around the corner, but there was no other way for it to do it, because it had run out of anti-submarine deep bombs!
The sky was already darkening, and the Bargret was sinking into the water, and when it was fully in the water, all the sailors would fall overboard!
The Allenward, slowing down, began to release the lifeboat, not daring to stop its progress directly, which would have subjected it to a terrible attack.
After some tossing, a few hours have passed.
