Dazzling, he must have been dazzled, and at this time, Clitis inexplicably felt a fluster.

He couldn't raise the alarm, he couldn't let himself work in vain like he did yesterday, he felt that he must have seen it wrong, and he was actually hallucinating.

So, he shifted his angle again and looked at the sea again, and when he adjusted it clearly, it was exactly the same scene on the sea.

"Oh shit, I still can't work, there's something wrong with my eyes." He shouted helplessly, and almost just as he had finished yelling, suddenly, a sharp alarm sounded on the sea.

"Submarines, submarines that found the Germans!"

On other cargo ships, there were also lookouts who discovered anomalies on the sea, but unfortunately, it was too late.

It is very difficult to find periscopes on the surface of the sea with your eyes, and Clitis was able to find several, indeed because of his good luck, and at the same time, because there were too many submarines nearby.

Eight submarines had arrived here, and now they were on the starboard side of the flotilla in an attacking position.

Project U-124 submarine.

They had reached the predetermined sea area the previous night and spotted the fleet in the voyage, but Mohel had not ordered an attack.

In fact, this is similar to other tank battles, in the case of general equipment with direct sailing torpedoes, it completely depends on the experience of the captain to achieve results, estimate the speed of both sides, estimate the turn of the other side, and so on. And in the dark, it is risky to observe closely, and it is not accurate to be far away.

So, they had to wait until daylight, and now, U-124 entered his attack position just after dawn, and his target was the first destroyer.

Yes, as long as the escort warships are eliminated first, it will be easier for them to attack those merchant ships, and when there are more and more submarines underwater, they are no longer afraid of surface ships.

After all, they have a numerical advantage, and at the same time, the anti-submarine skills of those surface ships are not high, there are no advanced sonars, only deep bombs and torpedoes, and they are not afraid.

In the first wave, destroy them!

"Launch tube No. 1, G7U torpedo, fixed depth of two meters, maximum speed." Mohel shouted loudly.

It was the first time he had fired a state-of-the-art hydrogen peroxide torpedo as a captain, a valuable torpedo that was always used against the most important targets.

Be sure to hit!

"Put!" With his order, there was a sound of water in the submarine, and the torpedo had left the torpedo tube with the help of high-pressure air, and like an arrow from the string, it quickly soared to a speed of 46 knots, heading for the enemy's warship 1 nautical mile away.

It was at this moment that the alarm of the Soviets was just sounding.

Vigilant.

"A thermodynamic torpedo has been found, which is coming from our port side!"

Thermodynamic torpedoes have to vent gases and form strings of terrible bubbles on the surface of the water, which is why they are easy to see, compared to electric torpedoes, which are quietly pursued.

"Forward three, left full rudder!" Boris shouted loudly.

As the captain of the ship, and as the leader of this escort formation, Boris had a great responsibility, and he slept only a few hours a day, and just after dawn, he appeared on the bridge.

When he heard the siren, he thought it was a false alarm just like yesterday, but as a result, the torpedo came directly!

Without thinking about it, he immediately ordered the left rudder.

As an old man, you must have the courage to rush up and fight with bayonets.

The torpedo is fired from the left, so he rushes to the left, and the left full rudder can reduce the area of the projectile on the one hand, so as to avoid being attacked, and at the same time can quickly kill the target.

"Prepare to drop deep bombs!" While holding the handle on the side, his body bearing the inertia of the left rudder, he gave the order again.

Rush up and blow you up!

As long as the torpedo fired by the other side can be detected in advance, it is easy to dodge, after all, the torpedo has a fixed trajectory like the bow and arrow fired.

However, if the torpedo is particularly fast, it will be different, it will give the other side no time to react at all, as now.

The Vigilant's body of more than 2,000 tons is not difficult to turn, and its engine power is still quite large, and when it is in the process of turning, the speed is hardly reduced.

At this time, the lookout post was nervously watching the bubbles on the surface of the sea while holding the handrail on the side tightly and keeping his body in check.

The speed of the bubbles is too fast! Almost instantaneously.

They could see that the bubble formed a line that was speeding towards their side, and by the time they turned, the line was pointing straight behind them.

If you didn't turn, you just happened to be blown off by the waist, and now, you should have dodged it, right?

"Boom!" There was a loud noise underwater.

A column of water several meters high emerges from underwater.

With the explosion, the hull behind the destroyer seemed to be lifted out of the water, and everyone's faces turned pale at this moment, as if the destroyer would break the hull in the next moment.

A proximity fuse, not a ramming fuse!

Ordinary torpedoes are impact fuses, and they will explode only after an impact, but some of them use proximity fuses, which are simpler than the proximity fuses of artillery shells, and the target can be reached by magnetic detection.

This hydrogen peroxide torpedo was too valuable, and in order to increase its hit rate, German technicians first used a composite fuse of collision and proximity on it.

As long as it is within five meters, it can be triggered. (I didn't find much information, the torpedo's proximity fuse is not high-tech, it has been used in World War II, if you know greatly, please solve the confusion in the book review area.) ）

Now, although the vigilant that turned sharply avoided this terrible torpedo, it was because of the effect of the proximity fuse that it exploded, and the stirring sea water violently slammed into the hull with a terrible creaking sound, and it seemed that in the next moment, the hull was about to break!

When the hull was balanced again, everyone had a sense of luck for the rest of their lives, and Boris was still extremely determined, wanting to continue the pursuit, only to find that the mechanical sound in the engine room had disappeared.

"Engine room, damage management report." Boris shouted loudly.

"The engine room was flooded, the engine room was flooded, the boiler was flooded." The voice inside was anxious.

The god of luck did not favor them again, and a few seconds later, there was a loud bang from the tail of the ship, and the steam pressure in the boiler was too high and exploded!

The Vigilant will lose all momentum, and they will no longer be able to sail.

"Naval guns, fire at me, at the sea." Boris continued to shout that as long as it does not sink, the fighting will not stop.
