Chapter 378: All Sink (Ask for a Monthly Pass)

"Spot the target, shoot with warning!" After the U-113 submarine of the German Navy caught up with the British merchant ship, the captain began to prepare for the landing of the British merchant ship according to the predetermined steps. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

As was customary, when a shell exploded around a British merchant ship, the British sailors on board would be scared. When the time came, they had to obey the orders of the German submarines. As long as a few soldiers are sent up and the core compartment of the merchant ship is controlled, you can sail the merchant ship to join the German Navy's broken fleet. The British merchant ships were then returned to the German mainland by the Broken Fleet.

"Boom! Rumble! "Two shells exploded on the side of a British merchant ship. The sound of the explosion startled the British naval officers and sailors on the ship.

"Damn, where did the shells come from?" Captain Schmidt asked aloud.

"Sir, the submarines of the Germans, two kilometers from us!" A British naval officer reported.

"Submarines of the Germans? Haha, God forbid, they're finally here. Tell everyone to calm me down. You can't fire without my orders! Captain Schmidt ordered. He was afraid that the other sailors would open fire early because of their nervousness, thus scaring the German submarine away. Once danger is detected, the submarine will inevitably dive urgently. With the performance of their merchant ships, it is simply impossible to find a submarine hiding underwater. What's more, it will also cause their plans to be leaked, and there will never be such a chance again.

"Sir, the Germans are asking us to stop the ship at once." A sailor reported to Captain Schmidt.

"Do what the Germans say! The others were ready, and as soon as they heard my order, they immediately uncovered the canvas and began shooting. This time, we must deal with the submarines of the Germans. Captain Schmidt gave the order calmly. However, from his slightly trembling hands, it can be clearly seen that he is also very nervous in his heart.

The U-113 submarine of the German Navy did not detect anything unusual about British merchant ships at all. As soon as it was ascertained that the British merchant ships had begun to stop in accordance with their orders, they immediately approached them.

Seeing that the German submarines were getting closer and closer to them, the British naval officers and sailors on the merchant ships were all very nervous and did not dare to come out.

Soon, the German submarines were less than two hundred meters away from the British merchant ships.

"Attack now!" Captain Schmidt immediately ordered.

The British sailors on the merchant ship immediately lifted the canvas from the deck. A two-pounder rapid-fire gun and a one-pounder rapid-fire cannon appeared. These rapid-fire guns have long been ready to fire. The soldiers of the British Navy, with a little aiming, immediately began to shoot.

The German submarines also discovered the strangeness of the British. When they saw the rapid-fire cannon of that gate, their faces changed even more.

"Hell! This is a trap set by the British! Rush down, dive now! "The captain of the submarine U-113 immediately gave the order.

Although, the submariners immediately filled the tank with water, and the submarine began to dive. But because of technical reasons, it takes at least two or three minutes for a submarine in this era to complete the dive. And the British, apparently, will not give them that much time.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ā€

Those rapid-fire guns on British merchant ships have already begun to shoot. One shell after another, whizzing towards the German submarine two hundred meters away.

The shells exploded in the sea, splashing columns of water.

Although the two-pounder rapid-fire cannon and the one-pounder rapid-fire cannon are not very powerful, their rate of fire is very fast. What's more, the defense of submarines in this era is not strong. The steel plates used by the submarine were also very thin, which could not withstand the rapid-fire shells of the British army at all.

"Go fast! God forbid! "The captain of the U-133 submarine prayed to God incessantly.

However, in the end, they were not able to escape their fate. The British shells hit the hull of the submarine and easily blew holes of different sizes into the hull of the submarine. From these holes, seawater poured into the submarine. Although, the German naval sailors on the submarine were desperately trying to control the damage. However, it still did not succeed. They could only watch their submarine sink to the bottom of the icy Atlantic. Of course, they were not able to escape either, and the submarine became their steel coffin.

"Well done, we sank the submarine of the Germans!" The German submarine was seen sinking into the sea, followed by a large area of oil and some rags pouring out of the sea. These are undoubtedly proof of the sinking of German submarines.

"Hooray! Banzai! The British sailors on the merchant ship cheered. This is undoubtedly a remarkable victory for them. They had already lost too many times in the confrontation between the Royal Navy and the German Navy. And the probability of their results is too low and too low.

In the face of such tactics of the British Navy, the submarine forces of the German Navy were not at all defenseless. So much so that when these submarines happily wanted to capture the British merchant ships, they found that these British merchant ships were not sheep at all, but wolves armed to the teeth.

Under such a trap of the British, the submarine forces of the German Navy, lost more than a dozen submarines. Such intensive losses also immediately attracted the attention of the German Navy. After all, even when they were at the height of their battle with the British Navy, they had never lost so many submarines!

When Marshal Earl Tirpitz, the Minister of the Navy, informed Qin Tian of this news, it also made Qin Tian startled, he thought that the British had come up with some high-tech weapons under the strong pressure of Germany? For example, the advanced sonar that restrained the submarines of the German Navy. In that case, there will be no use for their submarines.

The strength of submarines lies in the concealment of their attacks. Once discovered, it loses its concealment.

Fortunately, maybe the luck of the British is not so good! When the British armed merchant ships attacked a submarine of the German Navy, they were escaped by the German submarine. After getting out of danger, the German submarines reported the news that the British had attacked the German submarines with merchant ships. Qin Tian and the senior officers of the German Navy suddenly realized. It turned out that it was not that the British had any advanced weapons, but that they used intrigues. Having learned about the tactics of the British, the problem was much easier to solve.

"Your Excellency, the merchant ships of the British, though, are precious. However, the lives of our submarines and those officers and men are even more precious. Let the submarine forces stop capturing British merchant ships! Whoever found all sorts of ships of the British, directly sank! Qin Tian gave an order.

Marshal Count Tirpitz nodded, he also felt sorry for those elite submariners.
