Chapter 1417: Throw it into the sea
This voice, so familiar,
Torpedoes, this is definitely torpedoes!
It couldn't have been the sound of the ship hitting the rocks, it wasn't the explosion of the weapons inside the ship, it was definitely a torpedo.
What can launch a torpedo? It must be a submarine, the German submarine actually appeared in this sea area, in this extremely frozen, turbulent Arctic Ocean, the German submarine actually appeared!
It's really horrible!
Almost as soon as he made his judgment, he heard a series of explosions.
"Boom!" Another torpedo exploded, this torpedo hit an escort aircraft carrier in front of the Manila Bay, and in the violent explosion, the bottom of this aircraft carrier broke, and a large amount of seawater poured into it, and this aircraft carrier was sinking rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
So soon, is there more than one submarine coming?
"Attention, we have submarines nearby!" Ralph shouted, looking at the sea in the distance, it must be a few nautical miles to starboard on his side, there was a terrible German submarine!
The worst thing is that there are no escort ships on your side at all!
Historically, the U.S. fleet was cut off by the German submarine wolf pack tactics, and in response, the U.S. built a large number of escort ships, which eventually crushed the Germans' sea wolf pack.
But now it was different, the United States could not support Britain from the Atlantic, because Britain had already surrendered.
The United States intended to support the Soviet Union from the direction of Iceland, but unfortunately the German surface fleet was too strong, and in the case of not being able to confront it head-on, the Americans could only cut off this route, and the Soviets inspected the ships at sea under the banner of European unity, and although the Americans were angry, they could not do anything.
As a result, the Americans could only make a long detour and open an Arctic route, the harsh climatic conditions here were enough for them to have a headache, along the Soviet coast, and all of them were barren land, so there was no need to worry about the sneak attack of the Germans, and at this time, there was no need for escort ships at all.
Who would have thought that the submarine of the Germans would actually come here!
How the Germans appeared, it doesn't matter anymore, it's how to run away!
"Quick, push all the fighters into the sea for me, we have to speed up!" Ralph said.
Their decks are piled with fighters, even if one weighs only five tons, then there are hundreds of tons, and, most importantly, the deck is so full of fighters that their own carrier-based aircraft cannot take off!
The planes on the deck were all loaded on aircraft carriers after they came out of the manufacturing plant, and there was no fuel, lubricating oil, no weapons, and they were useless.
And the planes in the hangar below are maintained, they can be dispatched at any time, and they can also carry bombs, as long as the planes in the hangar can take off, then they can drive away the terrible submarine, even if it scares the other party away!
Pushing the fighters on the deck into the sea, hearing this order, Mitchell couldn't help but be surprised, these fighters, which cost a lot of money, and the aid to the Soviet Union in vain has already made their own flesh hurt, should they be thrown away like this?
"Don't throw it now, wait for us to be attacked?" Ralph's anxious words immediately made Mitchell understand that his situation was very critical.
"Boom!" Another escort aircraft carrier has been destroyed!
The other merchant ships were also in a hurry. Seeing that several of their ships had been hit, they were quite afraid.
For them, there are only a few minutes left in their lives, and even if they are rescued by other ships, they will have to suffer a serious illness, not to mention that now, there is no one to save them, and every ship is thinking about how to get out of this terrible sea and escape from the submarine!
"Quick, throw these planes away!" On deck, several crew members wore fur coats and fur hats, and only their faces were exposed, and in less than a minute, their faces were frozen hard, and they felt their noses frozen.
In their hands, they held axes, and they urgently brought up fire axes from below.
There was simply no time to untie those ropes, they could only chop it off with a fire axe in this simple and crude way!
A sailor picked up his axe and slashed at the rope, and with his chopping, the rope, which had already been frozen hard, broke at once.
He cut this rope in a few strokes, and then cut the others, and in a moment his body began to sweat, and his face was frozen with ice.
"Quick, quick, we're running out of time." There was constant shouting, and they were running fast on the deck, trying to cut all the ropes.
"Ahh
A sailor ran to the side of a plane and tried to cut the rope, but at this moment, suddenly, a strong wind blew, and his feet slipped and he actually slipped into the sea!
The edges of the wooden deck were frozen and smooth due to the seawater.
"Poof!" The sailor fell into the sea, and in an instant, the icy water entered his body, and he felt like there were countless needles all over his body.
As for other people, after entering this sea water, in less than a minute, his body stiffened, his consciousness was blurred, and the most terrible thing was that he was wearing a thick cotton coat, which was soaked in sea water, which would be quite heavy, pulling people and sinking into the sea water.
A few bubbles came out of his mouth, his eyelids were already unconscious, and he looked at the outside world with his last gaze, and there was incomparable nostalgia in his eyes.
No one went to pull him, and no one cared to pull him.
Finally, all the ropes were cut.
"Attention, all ship, left full rudder!"
At full speed, the left full rudder is quite exciting, and as the helmsman turns the servo, in an instant, the huge hull is tilted.
The deck was also tilted more than ten degrees, and the planes on the deck were thrown into the sea like big rocks at this time!
They don't seem to be reconciled, they don't want to go into the cold ocean, but they are all like dumplings, constantly sliding down, as if they want to grab something, but the surroundings are so smooth, they are like passengers who didn't grasp the handrail when the bus turned, and they were thrown for a moment.
If the Soviets saw it, they would definitely feel very distressed, after all, this was a support for the Soviets, and now, for the Americans, survival is the most important thing.
"Elevator, bring me the fighter jet up at once, ready to take off!" Ralph shouted.
Race against time to eject your carrier-based aircraft and drop bombs to blow it up before the Germans finish their next torpedo loading!
