Chapter 471: A Ride to the Dust
The torpedo of this era is still quite backward, even in the history of later generations, the torpedo technology of Britain and the United States is not developed, for example, the Americans even obtained a German G7E electric torpedo after capturing the German U570 submarine, and the Westinghouse Electric Company developed the MK18 torpedo on its basis, and has since been equipped in large quantities.

And now Germany has developed torpedoes more thoroughly, far surpassing the Anglo-American contemporaries.
After the First World War, Britain had been war-weary and shouted for peace, and now the disadvantages of this approach have been clearly revealed.
For torpedoes, an important parameter when attacking a target is the fixed depth.
And for the torpedo machine, this setting is set before takeoff, after all, the depth fixing device is on the torpedo body, and when the torpedo is already sailing in the water, who can get down from the plane and readjust it?
In general, although this method is inconvenient, there is not much threat, after all, the torpedo machine already has target data before departure, and according to the type of target, the appropriate depth is determined, and these tasks are completed before departure.
However, this is to hit surface ships.
For surface ships, the draft will not be too deep, so a small warship will be set to a depth of one or two meters, and a large warship will be set to a depth of four or five meters, which is about the same.
It's just that, of course, this is not suitable for submarines.
For submarines, the depth is a fairly wide number, which can go from zero to a hundred.
Fortunately, the other party is carrying a lot of personnel, so it is in a floating state, and when taking off, they directly set the depth to one meter, so as to blow up the other party's hull.
For this reason, they also deliberately flew at an ultra-low altitude from a distance, so that when they were visually detected by the other side, they entered the final stage of the attack, and when the submarine was diving, the torpedo was already whistling!
This was supposed to be a foolproof attack, and now, although the opponent is already diving, that is, just going down, the torpedo can still hit.
However, they did not expect that the torpedo hit someone!
First one was killed, then another was wounded, the speed of the torpedo had slowed down, and at this moment, the torpedo, drilled under Bruce.
Bruce watched the torpedo rush towards him, and he had already dodged it, but the impact caused the torpedo to deviate from course, allowing the torpedo to come towards him!
He couldn't dodge at all, and when he saw that terrible torpedo coming, subconsciously, he stretched out his legs.
Originally, he thought that he could dodge and let the torpedo leave under his body, but when he saw the tail rudder at the end of the torpedo being a part higher, he immediately changed his plan and let his legs clamp the torpedo fiercely.
In an instant, he felt his body leap forward.
Oops, sit on the torpedo! (In ancient times, Zhang Guo rode a donkey upside down, and now there is Bruce sitting on a torpedo.) )
This is a day, Bruce is once again facing the test of life and death, the torpedo is still working hard according to the original set speed, ready to accelerate, and if the torpedo continues to accelerate, the Bruce above will no longer be able to get rid of it, he will ride the torpedo, riding the dust.
He had to do it just now, or he would be swept under his crotch by the rudder, and the contents of his crotch would probably not be saved.
At this moment, Bruce's brain was extremely calm, this torpedo was a direct-sailing torpedo, and after coming down, it could only sail in a straight line, and now, after hitting someone, it had turned an angle, and now, it needed to turn to a maximum angle.
Even Bruce didn't understand why he did it, saving the German submarines, in short, now, he did it subconsciously, it was his instinct.
Bruce's head, still on the water, took a deep breath, and then, lying in the water, his hands tightly gripping the torpedo's body, and then, slowly, moved forward.
Ten centimeters, twenty centimeters, thirty centimeters... Finally, he reached the tail of the torpedo!
At the tail of the torpedo, he clearly watched the rotation of the propeller behind him, and he continued to hold the torpedo with one hand, if it was stirred to the rear propeller, he would turn into a piece of meat in an instant.
At the same time, his other arm, reaching for the tail rudder of the torpedo, shook it vigorously.
There was a rattling sound from the tail, and the direction of the torpedo's torpedo body was constantly changing!
In the water, it was quite difficult to do this movement, and he used all his strength.
The torpedo steered, completely out of the submarine's position, and then, Bruce stuck his head out, took two breaths, and continued.
He's got a good idea.
When he got into the water again, he had one more thing in his hand, and the key to open the can was opened, and he snapped the rudder again, and then stuffed the key into it!
The rudder will no longer be able to return to its position, this torpedo, will be in the sea water, all the time in circles!
And Bruce, sitting on the torpedo, can finally rest, he shows his head and looks at everything on the surface, while everyone else is struggling to swim, he can take a break, this torpedo, will go around here all the time.
He didn't think about using this torpedo to return to land, the power of the torpedo can't be supported for long, it's still with these people, the goal is big, and the chances of being rescued are more.
If you look at it from the sea, Bruce's head is moving on the surface of the sea, and the speed is still very fast.
The torpedo machine in the air, after throwing the torpedo, did not leave, and when it discovered this peculiar sight on the sea, it quickly knew what was going on.
Pushing the operating lever, the Barracuda Torpedo machine swooped down, this action couldn't be more obvious, he wanted to strafe the sea!
This is simply inhumane, but this order was given by the superiors.
Strafe the surface of the sea and kill these people at sea, in this way, that submarine may float up to save people, the other party is very virgin!
In this case, the Barracuda torpedo machine also has a bomb on it, which can take out the submarine, or directly strafe it with a machine gun, and it can also damage the opponent's submarine!
When the barracuda torpedo machine swooped down again, the people on the sea showed desperate expressions, and they would never have thought that the British would dare to do this!
It's crazy!
Bruce was also desperate, in the eyes of the plane, they were all slow, no one could escape, that plane in the sky, why did he do this?
At this moment, suddenly, this torpedo plane, quickly pulled up, turned its course, and flew towards the east!
What's going on?
Bruce looked up and saw a few warplanes painted with crosses coming from the north, it was German naval aviation!
It's so ironic that they came from the United States, thousands of miles away, to help Britain fight Germany, but now, it was the Germans who saved them twice!
