The battleship HMS Royal Oak had more than a thousand sailors, and now, less than fifty of them are really left on board, and they are mainly responsible for operating anti-aircraft guns. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although it is now relying on smoke screens to cover, it is also necessary to prevent those planes that suddenly fly, so the anti-aircraft artillery on the warship is already in place.

The bombardment of the other side has lasted for half an hour, which is enough time for them to step on their warship, open the medicine box, shake the handle, and wait for the possible attack.

The warship did not have a fire, that was unnecessary, they were now equivalent to a fixed battery.

The warship did not have many anti-aircraft guns, only 2 MK.1 76 mm L/50 anti-aircraft guns, 4 3-pounder guns, and the anti-aircraft firepower was far from that of other battleships.

On an anti-aircraft gun, the gunners were nervously staring at the black smoke in the sky, and if a plane suddenly burst out of the black smoke, they would have to open fire without hesitation.

At such times, of course, they all pay attention to the sky above their heads, and no one pays attention to the sea.

This is common sense, the defense here is quite tight, and it is absolutely impossible for a German submarine to get in.

They didn't notice at all that three thousand meters away from the sea, the lens of a periscope that came out of it, and the snorkel behind the periscope, were still emitting faint blue smoke.

If it weren't for the current commotion outside, Prion wouldn't have been so bold, after all, the snorkel state is best used during the voyage, and when the enemy's warship is overhead, the use of batteries is the most appropriate.

But now, Prien was sure that the British, who had been blown up overhead, would not notice their submarine, and that keeping enough power would make his attacks more effective and faster.

If he had relied only on batteries, he would not have run to this corner in such a short time and found this battleship, and now, time is the result.

Prien stabilized his submarine and then gave the order.

"One second apart, launch!"

Launch! At the bow of the boat, four torpedo tubes released one torpedo at a time, and the propeller in the tail rotated, and the electric torpedo slid the seawater, accelerating the projectile to 30 knots, which was already their maximum speed.

"Forward one, right full rudder." Immediately after the four torpedoes came out of the water, Prion followed up with the order.

In the water, the submarine had to move in order to be able to turn, and now he needed to turn his submarine 180 degrees, aim the stern at the other side, and shoot a fifth torpedo at any time.

The submarine was in motion, and the periscope, all the time aiming at the target, at this time, Prien took a deep breath.

This battleship, it's your own! Be sure to sink it!

"Boom!"

A huge explosion was heard, and the first torpedo hit the target accurately!

As the captain of a submarine, you must be able to hit a moving target, and now, that stationary battleship is simply a training target, if you can't hit it, then simply retire and go home to pick up the child.

The first torpedo exploded at the bottom of the Royal Oak, and the shock attracted the attention of the sailors.

What's going on?

An anti-aircraft artilleryman looked back, and he heard the sound coming from that position in the engine room, could it be that there was a malfunction inside?

At this point, no one realized that they had been attacked.

If you want to attack them, you have to have planes first, but here, it has always been very quiet, since there are no planes, it may be that your own warship has a mechanical failure.

"Boom!" Then, a second explosion also appeared.

When the second explosion appeared, everyone was not calm, this was definitely not a mechanical failure, it was attacked!

An anti-aircraft gun lookout aimed his telescope at the sea in front of him, and soon he searched for a peculiar phenomenon on the sea, a puff of smoke, sticking out of a tube on the sea, and a small tube in front of it.

Periscope! , that's a submarine!

"Attention, we're under submarine attack!" The anti-aircraft lookout shouted loudly.

This is the only thing he can do, they don't have any anti-submarine means, and the warship has to move in order to drop depth charges.

"Boom!" A third sound followed.

On the shore, Major General Mailer froze.

The sound of a huge explosion also reached the shore, and he looked at his battleship Royal Oak, which trembled violently in the explosion, and the fire spread out from the battleship.

"Quick, save our battleship!" Rear Admiral Mailer immediately abandoned these bonfires, and his own warship had already been attacked!

Salvage the battleship!

The sailors on the shore rushed towards the battleship, and the warship was torpedoed, and it must have been damaged below, so they had to quickly close the watertight door to prevent their warship from entering too much and sinking.

Salvage, salvage!

There were only three explosions, and one torpedo failed.

Even careful maintenance could not guarantee that the torpedo would be 100% effective, and Prien looked at the battleship on the surface of the sea that was emitting smoke, and gave the order very unwillingly.

"Launch!"

In the stern, there's a torpedo! With his order, in the aft launch tube, the T2 torpedo was fired again!

How many torpedoes can a battleship hold? If it was three super torpedoes of hydrogen peroxide, it might be enough, but the three electric torpedoes that are flying over now are still not powerful enough, they just hurt each other!

In the periscope, Prion looks at his prey, and time is measured in seconds.

Hit the fly.

This torpedo did not bring any effect.

What to do? Looking at the battleship in the periscope that was emitting smoke, Prion gritted his teeth: "Forward one, full rudder on the right, head launch tube, reload torpedoes!" ”

It is said that if the submarine misses a blow, it is time to retreat, and now, the other side must have known its existence, although it cannot move, it may still pose a threat to the submarine.

However, Prion was not afraid of the threat, and he was involved with the battleship.

The submarine U-47, carrying 14 torpedoes at a time, now, he has launched 7 torpedoes, the stock is not much, after this new round, if he has not sunk the opponent, then he floats and shells the opponent with an 88-mm deck!

To be able to find such a big goal is definitely a big explosion of character, and now, if you don't sink it, how can you be willing?

Prien operated his submarine and once again made a beautiful 180-degree turn, and the torpedo tubes in the bow were aimed at the other side again.

Four pieces, one second apart, fire!
