In general, when submarines attack the enemy, they attack from the outside, after all, this is the most convenient, however, this also means that they may not be able to find suitable targets.

Because now the Soviets sailed together in the whole formation, on the outside there were frigates, inside there were destroyers, several heavy cruisers as flagships, and that was in the very center of the fleet.

In this way, when the U-96 wanted to attack, it could only attack the frigates on the periphery, which obviously did not satisfy Willenbrook, so he wanted to get into the opponent's fleet.

First to the left, and then to the right, this submarine of nearly 2,000 tons, like a skilled shark, actually drilled through a Type 7 destroyer on the periphery.

Thanks to the fact that it's night.

Although there is moonlight, it is quite difficult to find the snorkel and periscope on the surface of the sea in the moonlight.

Standing in front of the periscope, Willenbrook circled around and suddenly shouted, "Left full rudder!" Double car backwards! ”

In his field of vision, a large battleship appeared, this battleship was almost coming towards him, if his submarine continued to go up, he would only be stopped by the other party!

In terms of periscope depth, his submarine is now only fifteen meters deep, and his control tower is higher than the hull, and if you can't see the opponent's draft clearly, you may be directly hit by the opponent!

The two propellers in the tail began to reverse rapidly, and at the same time, the rudder surface moved, and the hull of the U-96 submarine began to turn rapidly.

The battleship was still moving, and by this time, Willenbrook could already see clearly, it was a Soviet light cruiser, probably the Red Ukraine, and at this time, its bow was like a knife, cutting through the sea, and was coming towards his periscope.

The submarine was still turning, and everyone was holding on to their belongings to avoid being thrown aside.

In the field of vision, the battleship grew larger and larger, and then, the entire warship fully occupied the periscope's field of vision.

The co-captain on the side was sweating, he didn't dare to say anything, and he held the grip on the side, if there was a collision, then they would be in big trouble.

However, nothing happened.

Willenbrook could see very clearly that the eyepiece of his periscope was only five meters away from the hull of the opponent when he was close, but there was still no collision, and the opponent had already passed!

When the warship passed, Willenbrook finally saw the target he was looking for, the heavy cruiser of the Soviets!

At this time, he did not know that the battleship of the Soviets had been sunk, and that battleship was also his prey, and now, since he did not see the battleship, let's practice with a heavy cruiser!

"Two cars, two forwards, ready right hand drive." Willenbrook said: "Four G7E torpedoes, ready to fire!" ”

At this time, he was only a few hundred meters away from the course of the center of the formation, and on the course, the cruiser Molotov was moving up at a rapid pace.

Willenbrook only had one chance, because the opponent's speed was very fast, and now their entire formation was accelerating, as long as it exceeded 20 knots, the U-96 would not be able to catch up at all, even if the diesel engine was turned on.

"Right full rudder." Willenbrook shouted.

The submarine has just slowed down, and the efficiency of the rudder surface is related to the speed of the ship, and he must let the submarine accelerate before he can turn.

And just as he was turning, the heavy cruiser gradually appeared in the bow.

"One to four launch tubes, one second apart, launch!" Willenbrook shouted.

Even the most advanced German torpedoes will not hit with high accuracy, so if you want to hit the opponent, you need to have several of them together, especially against key targets.

Moreover, anyway, he was in the center of the opponent's formation, and even if the torpedo flew away, he might be able to hurt other warships.

At this time, the submarine was still turning, and in this way, four torpedoes, which came out of the water one after another, formed a fan shape at a depth of three meters under the water, and headed towards the Soviet heavy cruiser.

That heavy cruiser, absolutely not going to run away, will definitely have at least one torpedo hit it!

By this time, the Molotov cruiser, the first large warship built by the Soviets after the statehood, had completed the acceleration and stabilized its speed at 30 knots. The current Molotov is the absolute newest main warship that joined the Soviet Navy only a few days ago.

Its power system is two German-made steam turbines with a total power of 119,750 horsepower, twin-shaft and double-propeller propulsion; With a maximum speed of 35.9 knots, if it weren't for taking care of the other warships in the formation, it would definitely be a standout.

The warship still smelled of paint, and every officer and soldier of the Red Navy was proud of this powerful warship.

"Boom!" At this moment, an explosion suddenly came from underwater, and in the cavity effect formed inside the warship, the explosion sound was quite clear.

Not good!

This latest battleship will definitely not have any mechanical problems, and if it explodes now, it must have been ambushed.

"Attention, we have submarines underneath!" Within the first moment, the captain of the Molotov noticed that the problem must have been attacked by a submarine.

There are submarines underwater?

"Slow down, get ready to turn into anti-submarine!" When he received this news, Gorshkov reacted that it was the German submarine that had attacked his own fleet.

Just when they were attracted by the huge surface ship forces of the Germans, who would have thought that the Germans would sneakily send submarine forces in advance?

I really didn't expect it!

When a surface ship is sailing at high speed, it is impossible to notice the underwater situation, and it is the most vulnerable to a sneak attack.

Gorshkov did not know that he had made a serious mistake and completely buried this formation of his.

Now, he should not slow down, he should continue to accelerate away from this sea area, even if the German XXI submarine turned on the diesel engine, the maximum speed was only 18 knots, his formation had accelerated to 30 knots, and the German submarines could not catch up at all.

Moreover, he still has an important task, and he can't delay it in this sea area at all.

However, Gorshkov gave such an order, which may be due to his personal character, he did not want to admit defeat with the Germans, his formation was attacked by submarines, he could not swallow this breath, and the other party's submarines had to be sunk!

"Left rudder one, forward one, No. 5, No. 6 launch tubes ready." At this time, Willenbrook's brain was unusually clear.

The Soviets' fleet slowed down, but they certainly wouldn't know that they were between their fleets, and now was the best chance to shoot all the twenty-three torpedoes he had brought with him, and then dive and slip away.

His confidence comes from the weakest anti-submarine technology of the Soviet Union, historically, almost all of the sonar of the Soviets was provided by the United States, and before there was no sonar, the best way for the Soviets was to drop bombs and try it.
