Chapter 465: Atlantic Safari
Bruce, who was a seven- or eight-year-old child at the time of World War I, immigrated to the United States with his father after World War I, and is said to have preferred the atmosphere of the New World and hated the war in the Old World. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info one of his father's arms, which was lost in the war.
When the war in the Old World suddenly began, Bruce's mood was very conflicted, but British Admiral Teucer found him and moved him with the glory of the British Empire, and he resolutely decided to return to England!
At this time, he was already a carrier-based aircraft pilot in the US Navy, and he not only retired himself, but also bought the plane he was piloting.
This was already some kind of agreement reached in secret, and without any difficulty, he piloted the plane to New York on the east coast of the United States, and from there, boarded the cargo ship, and returned to England.
He came back with a lot of people, a lot of equipment, so to speak, the British cargo ship was loaded with weapons purchased from the United States, weapons purchased privately.
The Germans, who had actually resurrected the flames of war in a vain attempt to rekindle the flames of war throughout Europe, as a former British, would not have watched such a thing happen!
Now, speaking behind his back, it was Trauca, a British naval colonel, who had been chatting with all the people who had returned during the long voyage at sea, and had become good friends.
Although he didn't say it, Bruce also knew that Teucer must have a background in MI5, otherwise, how could he have gathered so many weapons and personnel in a short period of time?
"I'm wondering how long it will be before we'll be back in the UK." "I wish I could go back to England at once, fly my plane, and sink the German warships," Bruce said. ”
The British Navy, which lost a lot of warships, and now the Germans will have to suffer the same losses in order to be able to tie!
At the moment, of course, Bruce was thinking about the battle at sea and the fate of England.
"Don't worry, Bruce, we have a lot of battles to fight. The whole ocean belongs to us. Teucer said to Bruce, his words infectious.
These young people, with a high will to fight, are the best fighters!
Bruce looked at the sea in the distance, and his mood fluctuated, yes, the entire ocean belongs to England.
With the pilot's vision, Bruce stared at the sea in the distance, his brow furrowed, and in the distance, a seagull was staying.
How is this possible? There are no reefs near this sea area, so how can seagulls stay directly on the surface? Unless...
Thinking of this, he was already very anxious, and shouted loudly: "Be careful, we may have a submarine on the port side!" ”
Seagulls, probably squatting on the periscope of the submarine! This is Bruce's direct judgment.
Now, it has entered a state of war, although it is still in the Atlantic, be vigilant!
At the location of the seagull's whereabouts in the distance, on the line with his own cargo ship, he glanced at it quickly, and suddenly, his voice was higher: "Attention, torpedo attack!" ”
time, rewind a few minutes.
"A cargo ship was found."
Beneath the surface, the U-47 submarine is swaying along the route, a major route from the United States to Europe, where several cargo ships can be seen every day.
Now, hearing the voice of the first mate, Major Prion took the periscope and looked seriously.
After the last battle at Scapa Bay, the U-47 was honored, all officers and men were promoted to the next rank, and Captain Prion became a major.
After a short period of recuperation, he received a new order to go on a safari in the Atlantic!
Major Prien was quite satisfied with this task, and when he came to the Atlantic Ocean from the North Sea, on the first day of the combat cruise, he ran into a big guy!
Standing in front of the periscope and observing carefully, Major Prien was extremely excited: "The British cargo ship Navasota, with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, this is a large cargo ship, T2 torpedoes, ready!" ”
As a submarine commander, he must be skilled in visually identifying all the types of enemy warships, but the cargo ship is not good, there are too many, and he can recognize it because the other party is flying the rice flag, and the bow of the ship has a name.
If you are dealing with a warship with thick armor, you must use a heavy torpedo, and against a target such as an aircraft carrier, you must use an advanced hydrogen peroxide torpedo.
But now, the target is a merchant ship, this kind of ship, which is something that rots at the touch of a torpedo, and can send the other party to God!
Major Prien watched as he gave one command after another: "Turn off the diesel engine, use the battery, and the left rudder three." ”
When the diesel engine is working, it will emit exhaust gases at sea, and now that the target has been found, it is necessary to make a silent attack.
When the command of the left rudder was completed, the submarine had already come to the left front of the opponent, and Major Prien was in his mind, quickly calculating.
The flank of a torpedo attack is the easiest, but the opponent is in the middle of sailing, so it is necessary to make accurate calculations to determine the best attack plan, and these depend on the judgment of the captain.
"Fixed depth of 5 meters, maximum speed, one minute ready." Major Prien said.
You can't attack it yet, and if you let it go now, it's too early.
Time passed little by little, and Major Prion did not know that a seagull had actually fallen from the top of his periscope.
"Launch!" Prion shouted loudly.
There was little movement, and a T2 electric torpedo, leaving the torpedo tube, swam towards the opposite side, and the propeller in the tail turned at top speed, making a splash behind.
When the torpedo was fired, Bruce noticed the unusual situation on the sea in the distance, and at this time, the torpedo had already swam over!
Bruce's reminder, it's too late! Just after he finished shouting, the torpedo had almost swam over!
"Boom!" The warhead of the torpedo, before it reached the bottom of the ship, exploded, and in the explosion, the sea water was quickly pushed up and pressed towards the bottom of the ship, and under this pressure, with almost no effort, a large hole was cracked in the bottom of the ship!
Rescue!
On board, many of them are soldiers, and at this moment, they have no choice but to rescue this cargo ship!
At the same time, even if they jump into the water, it is impossible to escape, and now they are still far from the coastline, no one can swim over, they and this ship, life and death together.
The bottom was flooding rapidly, and they risked their lives by closing the doors of several watertight compartments, and finally, the cargo ship was saved.
Outwardly, the ship was crooked, tilting to the left, but it was still stubbornly afloat and moving forward.
However, they did not have the sense of luck that they had for the rest of their lives, and each of them opened their mouths wide and looked at the sea in the distance, where an underwater monster was slowly revealing its body.
