Chapter 1318: Throwing Deep Bullets (Plus 1)

The closest to Molotov is the Red Crimea, a light cruiser that has been in service for more than 20 years, and it can barely keep up with the speed of the formation, and now it says that it is going to switch to anti-submarine, and it suddenly slows down.

At this time, from their direction here, it was clearly possible to see that the hull of the Molotov was tilting due to the ingress of water, and at the same time the sailors on board were doing their last to save the battleship, and it seemed that the situation was not rosy.

How much luck did it take for the German submarines to sneak up on their own fleet at night?

Decelerate!

In the engine room, the sailor turned off the valve of the steam engine, and just now, the sound from inside the pipe made him worry that the pipeline was in danger of bursting at any time.

"Boom!" At this moment, a loud roar suddenly sounded at the sailor's feet, and he stared in horror at his lower part, only to see the raging sea water pouring in towards him.

Not good, my own side was also attacked by torpedoes, and the bottom of the ship was blown open a big hole!

"Quick, salvage our ship!" Without even thinking about it, he was about to pick up something from his side and plug the hole below, but then, the sea water was already pouring on him, and it was pouring too fast!

Compared to battleships, heavy cruisers, the bottom of this light cruiser was thinner, and just after one hit, more sea water gushed from the broken bottom.

But there's something even more terrifying.

In the turbulent water, the sailors were still trying their last best to save the water, and when the sailors were trying their best to plug the hole, their eyes, through the sea, saw that something white was coming from below.

The second torpedo!

The second torpedo, fired at intervals of a few seconds, actually swam along the position of the first torpedo to the place where the hole was blown up, this probability was simply negligible, but it was encountered by Soviet sailors!

"Boom!" 400 kilograms of high-energy explosives exploded, and in an instant, a powerful stream of water rolled in, with the explosion as the center, and spread spherically in all directions, and everywhere it went, everything was squeezed.

The moment the sailors were hit by this water balloon, their bodies were flattened by the sea, their mouths were spitting blood, and the corners of their eyes were covered with snow, staining the sea water around them red.

This second stream of water rushed into the engine room, occupying the entire engine room almost instantly.

The boiler was turned off, the steam engine stopped, and the tail had begun to sink rapidly because of the large amount of water ingressing.

The second cruiser, again in the fleet, was torpedoed!

"Attention, the submarine is just below us, in our formation, the formation spreads out, drops depth charges, and sets a depth of twenty meters!" When the second battleship was torpedoed, Gorshkov reacted immediately.

God knows how the Germans' submarines got into their formation, in short, the two warships inside the formation were bombed, and the periphery was indeed fine, indicating that the other side must be inside their own side, and the torpedoes are not so intelligent.

Moreover, the fact that the other party's sneak attack is so fast now shows that they are very close to themselves, so hurry up and throw depth charges!

Due to the backwardness of underwater listening technology, Soviet ships had to use violent means to solve the problem of submarines, which is anti-submarine depth bombs!

On the side of each battleship, on the depth charge throwing rails, the sailors quickly prepared.

On the slippery depth charge, there is a knob, which is to adjust the depth, set the depth charge to explode at the appropriate depth, and then throw a large number of them down, forming a place of death, even if only one explodes ten meters away from the opponent's submarine, that can also sink the opponent's submarine! At twenty meters, you can also hurt the opponent.

In order to prevent depth charges from hitting your own troops, you need to make sure that each ship takes a different route, and they go side by side, which requires adjusting their queues.

The column that had just been traveling at high speed was now going to be adjusted to an anti-submarine horizontal column, which caused a panic in the fleet, especially since although there was moonlight now, the visibility was not as good as during the day.

On the Red Ukraine, Captain Fesanovich looked at the lights on the other warships in front of him and shouted loudly: "Right rudder one, deep bomb drop!" ”

The hull of the ship began to turn, and then he felt a large black shadow appear on his side.

Not good!

The battleship Voroshinov behind him was actually turning to the left, just to the right of his route, and the two battleships were at risk of colliding!

What to do?

Operating a warship at sea is no more difficult than driving on land, and the tonnage of a warship is large, and it is quite difficult to change the state of motion.

"Full speed!" Fesanovich gave the order.

It's too late to slow down, it's too slow, it's better to go at full speed, as long as you are faster than the other party, then you can avoid a collision.

At the same time, when he is faster, he is more agile when he turns.

With his command, the steam turbine in the tail received the surging steam, and pushed the steam engine rapidly, the propeller accelerated, and the whole hull began to accelerate.

Seeing this roaring and speeding battleship, the captain of the Voroshinov couldn't help but curse in his heart, God, what are you going to do?

The Soviets were atheistic, but they did not prohibit the Orthodox Church, they also had their own beliefs, and even God could not tell them at this time.

The battleship that suddenly stuck in front of them was accelerating, and it was indeed no problem to avoid it, but why were they still dropping depth charges when they were accelerating?

They threw depth charges, right on the path of the Voroshinov!

"Quick, right full rudder!" The captain shouted loudly. There was a lot of noise on the warship, but he still seemed to hear the sound of the wind blowing on the sea, which was the popping sound of depth charges falling into the water.

At a depth of twenty meters, everyone knows what it means, and if it explodes at the bottom of their own boat, although it will not be blown up and sunk, it will definitely not be comfortable.

With the order of the right full rudder, the helmsman killed the rudder, and the hull of the huge 10,000-ton heavy cruiser began to tilt up, lapping the sea, and countless splashes of water surged.

"Boom!" At this moment, there was already a noise under the water.

The depth charge fell into the water at a very fast speed, and almost a few seconds after being dropped, it began to explode.

The sound of the explosion woke Fisanovich, who realized that he had just been so focused on not colliding that he had forgotten to give the order to stop dropping depth charges!

The sailors are also sharp, and in a short period of time, more than a dozen have been thrown!

"Stop throwing deep bombs! Fast! Fesanovich shouted.

"Boom, boom!" Underwater, explosions after explosions were heard.
