"Report the situation by all departments!"

In the bridge of the Wuchang Yu submarine, Captain Wang Haijun picked up the walkie-talkie and gave an order. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.infoβ•”β•—

"Radar room report: The enemy fleet is organized in six rows and ten columns, with a total of 64 large and medium-sized oil tankers, with a target azimuth of 185, a course of 070, and a speed of 12 knots!"

"Sonar report! There is no threat of submarines from other countries in the nearby waters! Intercepted the detection wave of the sonar array of the enemy fleet, and our side was not detected! ”

"Engine Room Report: Engine Room Normal! I have a speed of 16 knots and 2 chains! ”

"Torpedo bay reports: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 bow torpedo systems are normal!"

"Bridge report: Our formation is heading 070, and our ship is 4500 meters away from the ship's regiment! It is expected to be in range in seventeen minutes! ”

"Communication Report: Interception of a Level 3 encrypted telegraph from the German Navy, deciphering it!"

"Radio Tracking Report: Telecommunications are coming from 40 nautical miles to the southeast, and the telecommunications frequency is the exclusive radio frequency of the German Navy!"

The latest reports from various departments came from the bridge command room of the Wuchang Yu submarine, and Wang Haijun rubbed his chin lightly, looked at the radar display, and analyzed the attack tactics that would be adopted next.

"Expand the radar search range, I want to know how many German ** ships are escorting nearby!"

The radar crew increased the radar scanning power, and soon the screen showed three surface ships more than 40 nautical miles away.

"According to the reflection area, it is preliminarily judged that three surface ships, one cruiser and two destroyers, three ships are heading 270 and 28 knots, and they are approaching our side."

"Looks like the Germans are smelling it!"

First mate Chen Jun came to Wang Haijun's side and said, "The merchant fleet we attacked last night has been known to the Germans. So they stepped up patrols in this area. ”

"So what?" Wang Haijun snorted coldly. said: "With the anti-submarine capabilities of the German Navy, I don't think I can even catch our shadow!" It's better for them to come, I just want them to watch their own ships sink one by one by us. And they can't do anything about it! ”

Chen Jun suddenly laughed and said, "I love to hear this!" ”

Wang Haijun picked up the walkie-talkie again and ordered: "Attention of all departments, combat preparation!" ”

After the order is given. The Wuchang Yu submarine immediately entered combat speed, rapidly increasing from 16 knots to 20 knots.

At the same time, five other submarines of the same class also received orders from the lead ships, accelerated to combat speed, and launched attack formations.

The submarine forces of the Imperial Chinese Navy have many combat formations, no less than 100 types, and are the most complete types of submarine warfare methods in the world, and even a German submarine force that regards submarines as the main combat weapon is difficult to match, and many German submarine officers have chosen to study in the major submarine academies of the Imperial Chinese Navy. However, the skills of the cat will be taught by the Chinese Imperial Navy, so the German Navy only learned part of it, and in this way, it created the brilliant results of unlimited submarine warfare in World War I. But it also proves from the side that the Chinese Empire has great energy in submarine warfare.

Six Song-class submarines formed a nail rake formation. Quickly approached the rear of the German ship regiment at combat speed.

At this time, the use of torpedoes by the submarine fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy had already undergone epoch-making improvements. The representative MK40 red-headed torpedo belongs to the third generation of torpedoes, which implements mechanical inertial guidance technology. Different from the black-headed torpedoes used by other countries, the red-headed torpedoes used by the submarines of the Imperial Chinese Navy added acoustic wake and magnetic navigation technology, that is, a small sonar detection system and electromagnetic induction devices were installed on the warhead of the torpedo to detect the position of the enemy ship and guide the torpedo to accurately hit the enemy ship.

Since large surface ships are basically built of steel, and long-term navigation in the sea will cause the hull to generate a huge electromagnetic signal, the Chinese Empire's MK40 new red-headed torpedo is equipped with an electromagnetic induction device, which benefits from the great progress of the Chinese Empire in the electronic manufacturing process, so that the size of the electromagnetic sensor can be reduced and installed on the torpedo. The electromagnetic induction device on the MK40 torpedo is capable of sensing the electromagnetic signal emitted by the large surface ship itself within 400 meters, so that the mechanical inertial navigation equipment on the warhead will guide the torpedo to hit the target directly. β•”β•—

However, when the Imperial Chinese Navy was testing electromagnetic induction torpedoes, there was an accident in which it accidentally injured its own ships, because electromagnetic induction was affected by the earth's magnetic field, and the geographical magnetic field in some areas was very strong, especially when it was close to the north and south poles, which would cause electromagnetic induction failure.

To this end, the engineers of the Imperial Navy developed the acoustic tail response technology on this basis, that is, a small sonar detection device was installed on the torpedo warhead according to the characteristics of the huge wake generated by the propeller when the large ship was sailing. The device is capable of sensing the acoustic wake traces left by the passing ship within 1,000 meters, and pursues the ship in a serpentine manner all the way, and finally hits directly.

In general, the acoustic wake generated by the propellers of large surface ships is very long-lived and can easily be hit by mk40 torpedoes with acoustic wake tracking systems.

The Imperial Chinese Navy conducted more than 100 tests, using various surface ships for testing, especially against large ships of more than 10,000 tons, and the MK40 torpedo almost hit every 100 shots.

Of course, this is also related to the high-performance octane-fueled engine of the Mk40 torpedo. This new engine allows the MK40 torpedo to have a combat speed of up to 82 knots, and can be launched from a distance of 1,000 meters to catch up with ships with a speed of less than 15 knots, to be launched from a distance of 300 meters and to catch up with ships with a speed of less than 30 knots, and even to hit torpedo boats with a speed of more than 33 knots within 100 meters.

At 3:10 p.m., six Song-class submarines of the Chinese Empire caught up with the Keck group, which was slowly sailing.

Although there were advanced self-guided torpedoes, Wang Haijun did not attack directly from the rear of the ship group, but ordered six submarines to speed up to the front of the Keck ship group to carry out an interceptive attack, the purpose of which was to sink the oil tankers in front of the ship group first, and force the oil tankers behind to be forced to turn.

And here's the point, the German tankers are tens of thousands of tons big, and the slow speed makes them even slower when turning, and if you fire a torpedo at them, the torpedo will catch up with them faster and hit them.

This is the tactics of the Wang Navy. Chief Officer Chen Jun also expressed his support and approval.

"The target is within range!"

"Radar Locked!"

"Sonar locked!"

"The torpedo elements are set. Can be launched! ”

"Launch!"

Under the order of Wang Haijun, the Wuchang Yu submarine launched the first attack.

"Torpedo No. 1 launched!"

"Torpedo No. 1 fired!"

After receiving the reply, Wang Haijun immediately pressed the pocket watch in his hand. The entire interior of the submarine was suddenly silent. It's so quiet that everyone can hear the ticking of the hands of the pocket watch.

At the same time, the other five submarines also locked onto their prey and fired torpedoes. Their captains are the same as those of Wang Haijun. Holding a pocket watch in his hand and listening to the ticking sound.

On the water, torpedoes approached the tanker at high speed with a loud snort.

Although the Song-class submarines of the Imperial Chinese Navy have the reputation of being black holes in the ocean, and the sonar equipment of the Keck Ship Group cannot detect them, the MK40 torpedoes do not have this stealth capability. When the Wuchang Yu No. 1 torpedo was launched, its huge underwater noise was discovered by the sonar of the Keck Ship Group.

The sonar listeners of the Keck regiment immediately shouted: "It's a torpedo!" ”

The sonar listener shouted loudly, and everyone on the ship was immediately dumbfounded, and Captain Keck was nearby, and hurriedly ran over when he heard this.

"At 11 o'clock! A torpedo was found! ”

"Eleven o'clock? Isn't that right in front of the Sarkorondo? ”

Keck suddenly came back to his senses from surprise. Picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted, "Immediately full right rudder!" I'm Keck ()! ”

In desperation, Keck could only say the words backwards, but the most important thing was that he forgot the object of the order. β•”β•— He wanted to inform the tanker Sarcolondo next to him. Let them urgently circumvent the right full rudder. However, instead of going to the internal channel of the ship, he ordered it from the channel of the Stillman. As a result, the Sarcolondo failed to make a timely turn to avoid it, and Keck's Stillman was in an emergency right rudder.

His mistake caused the Sarcolondo to be torpedoed, and a huge explosion sounded like a thunderbolt from the sky, and Keck suddenly cried, knowing that the Sarcolondo was not lucky.

Keck and the others ran outside in one go, and they saw the monstrous fire and billowing smoke of the Sarcolondo. The huge bow of the Sarcolondo had been blown up, and the entire tanker was sinking headfirst rapidly, but the ship was loaded with barrels of crude oil, and inside the bottom bilge was a huge oil tank, which was quickly affected by the blast wave.

"Boom!"

A series of explosions came and went, and the oil tanker Sacorondo, which had just sunk halfway, suddenly exploded, and in an instant, the entire oil tanker was shrouded in fire, and the smoke was thick, engulfing the Sakorendo in the blink of an eye.

"Here comes the torpedo!"

"Two torpedoes!"

"It's four torpedoes!"

……

Before Keck could finish listening, a violent explosion rang out on the other side of Keke. Keck hurriedly turned around and looked over, only to see a mine explosion in the 19,000-ton Hansen tanker not far away.

Immediately after that, four more tankers were hit by torpedoes one after another, and there was a violent explosion, and they sank rapidly at the speed that was seen.

"Oh God, don't do this to me!"

Keck clutched at his hair so hard that he didn't feel the slightest pain because his heart was bleeding. Any tanker full of crude oil is very expensive, but what really makes Keck nervous is not the sinking of six tankers, he is worried that his ship group has entered the enemy's submarine ambush zone, his ship group is composed of more than sixty oil tankers, once lost, not only will he be finished, but also a heavy blow to Germany's strategic oil reserves.

"Immediately request the Navy (Germany) for help, we are being attacked by submarines of the damned Soviets!"

Keck didn't think much of it, he subconsciously thought that the Soviet submarine did it.

Six oil tankers were sunk at once, and the entire Keck ship group was in chaos. The sinking tanker released a large amount of crude oil, which was quickly ignited by the flames that flew around, and the sea in front of the ship suddenly burst into flames.

In order to evade the torpedo attack of the submarine, Keck ordered the boat regiment to quickly turn and accelerate to full speed. But the tanker's massive body steers slowly.

At this time, Wang Haijun also ordered the six submarines of his submarine squad to start hunting freely, and the ultimate goal was to wipe out the fleet of more than 60 oil tankers before the German Navy came to the rescue.

"Torpedo No. 2 launched!"

"Torpedo No. 3 launched!"

……

One torpedo after another was shot out from different angles and headed straight for the tanker.

"Torpedo is coming!"

"Left full rudder evasion!"

Keck stood in the captain's room in the bow, and through his telescope he could clearly see the torpedoes being fired at high speed in the sea ahead.

"Don't worry! Look at the direction of this torpedo. It won't hit us! ”

The captain said confidently. He had the impression that torpedoes always went in a straight line, so he could judge from experience that the torpedo on the opposite side would not be able to hit the Stillman.

Keck agrees. But he had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard one of the men in the bow say, "Strange! What kind of torpedo is this, how can it turn on its own? ”

Then. The crew member shouted: "Oh no! The torpedo turned a corner and came at us! ”

The Stillman had already made a full rudder turn, expecting to avoid the torpedo that was fired at her stern from the side, but unfortunately. The No. 3 torpedo launched by the Salmon submarine was not intended to directly hit the Stillman in the first place (the captain of the Salmon submarine was busy directing the submarine to approach the next German tanker and launch torpedoes, in fact, in order to sink a few more tankers to compete for credit), the torpedo fired went straight to the stern of the Stillman, and it was naturally a good thing to hit, and it didn't matter if it didn't hit, because the M40 torpedo would immediately lock on to the wake of the Stillman for pursuit and sink it. β•”β•—So the captain of the Salmon is not worried about the problem of not being hit, and more time is left for the next tanker, and getting more combat exploits is his goal.

That's because of that. The crew of the Stillman was dumbfounded. They had just celebrated dodging a torpedo, but the next moment the torpedo spun back. Trailing the wake of the Stillman, approaching at high speed.

"So that's going to happen?"

Not only was Keck as dumbfounded as the rest of the crew, but he was even more broken and motionless, while the rest of the crew were already running frantically to the sides of the ship, shouting for their lives, and jumping into the sea as fast as they could.

Suddenly, Keck felt a violent tremor under his feet, and he almost fell without standing still. In an instant, he came to his senses and knew that the Stillman had been torpedoed by an enemy.

At this moment, a huge explosion was heard, and a huge flame rose in front of his eyes. The flames soared thousands of meters high, and the high temperature wave swept him more than ten meters away at once, and his body was instantly cut in half when he hit the cable, and his flesh flew sideways.

Keck's life was passing fast, but he glared unwillingly until the flames consumed him completely.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

One after another, the tankers of the Keck regiment were torpedoed, and in a series of magnificent explosions, huge mushroom clouds rose into the sky, scorching the sky with blazing fire and thick smoke covering the sky, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

In less than ten minutes, more than 20 oil tankers had been sunk in the Keck group. The oil spilled covered the nearby sea and burned on the surface, making the sea look like a purgatory.

Other oil tankers scrambled to flee for their lives, and they couldn't care about the formation. However, they were very sad, and some of them had to accelerate so urgently that the propeller shaft suddenly could not adapt to the huge torque and broke, and stopped on the surface of the sea to be sunk. Some of them panicked, and under the thick smoke, they couldn't see the situation in front of them clearly, and as a result, they either crashed into the sunken ship, or hit the oil tankers of other colleagues, and the result can be imagined, either they sank or the other party sank.

Even if some oil tankers temporarily evaded the attack of submarines (there were too few submarines to take care of them), but the maximum speed was only fifteen or sixteen knots (the limit of oil tankers), and they watched the oil tankers behind them sink one after another, but they did not escape far, and sooner or later they would be caught up.

β€œsqd!” (European Standard Distress Signal)

β€œsos!” (Chinese Standard Distress Signal)

β€œsoe!” (Standard distress signal for the Americas)

There were even Germans who shouted "Help!" directly into the radio in Chinese. Because they know that the Imperial Chinese Navy is a global navy, almost all the world's oceans, seas, major rivers and lakes can see the shadow of the warships of the Imperial Chinese Navy, over the years, 80% of the international ships in distress have basically been rescued by asking the Imperial Chinese Navy for help, so it is reasonable for them to shout for help in Chinese.

"Captain! Intercept the Germans' distress signal! ”

The correspondent deliberately opened the communication, and the Germans cried out in stumbling Chinese inside, and the officers and men of the Chinese Empire inside the submarine immediately leaned forward and fell into laughter.

"That's it! Hurry up and shut it down! Wang Haijun smiled helplessly and scolded the communicator: "Be careful of being detected by the enemy's sonar!" ”

"Yes!" The communicator immediately ordered the radio to be turned off, but the crew members were still full of victorious smiles.

"Radar report: three German ** ships are rapidly approaching in our direction!"

"How far is it?"

"About 25 km!"

"It's coming fast!" Wang Haijun snorted. But not nervous.

The three German Navy warships were actually worried about an accident with Keck's tanker regiment. So I kept moving closer to it, but it was still a step too late. When the German ship received Keck's distress signal, the captain of the Vazmin, Colonel von Dorkle, hurriedly ordered to rush to the rescue. β•”β•—

When fifty kilometers away. Colonel Dockery saw a huge black mushroom cloud in the distance. He knew very well that it was a huge black mushroom cloud that could only be created after the explosion of an oil-laden oil tanker, and that there were more than one place, and a dozen huge columns of smoke were already clear on the surface that Keck's ship group had been ambushed by a group of submarines. His heart sank to the bottom.

"Tell me about you!"

"Come and save us!"

The Germans asked the distress callers on the tanker to provide information about the enemy's submarine, but the other party did not listen to anything at all, and shouted for help.

A huge explosion was heard on the radio, and the heart-rending cries for help made Dorik and other German naval officers and men feel uncomfortable for a while.

"How far is it?"

"Report, there are still 22 kilometers left!"

Doric immediately took out his binoculars and went to the bridge to look into the distance. I saw that the German oil tankers on the sea in the distance were billowing with thick smoke and were sinking, and the German crew members struggling in the sea could be vaguely seen.

"How so?"

Doric saw a large fleet of boats. Today, there are less than two dozen oil tankers left, and almost every few minutes, one or two tankers are sunk by mines.

Doric tried to spot a nearby submarine attacking the tanker. But what disappointed him was. There was no sign of a submarine on the surface. In his memory, when dealing with Soviet submarines. If this happens, Soviet submarines will basically surface and shoot Germans in the sea with rapid-fire guns and machine guns (the Soviets hated the Germans too much).

"Shoot at the target area now!"

Doric suddenly gave a puzzling order, and Chief of Staff Reed suddenly asked, "The caliber of our main guns cannot shoot accurately at this distance, and it will accidentally injure our ship and the people who have fallen overboard!" ”

Doric sighed and said, "I can't care about that much!" One more minute of delay would have sunk one more tanker and hundreds of crew members would have died. If we open fire, we may be able to scare away the enemy's submarines, and even if we accidentally damage our personnel, the losses will be small in comparison! ”

Reed nodded, understood what the captain meant, and immediately ordered the main gun to fire.

The maximum caliber of the Vazmin light cruiser is only 203 mm, and there are only four, plus the 105 mm high-level dual-purpose secondary gun and the 88-mm high-level dual-purpose rapid-fire gun, the total number of guns is only 20, and there are quite a few machine guns, but unfortunately they can't hit that far.

"Knock knock!"

The light cruiser Vazmin opened fire in a mournful manner, and the shells whistled and fired at the sea area where the ship group was located, but even the 203-mm main guns could not hit more than 20 kilometers away, and at most fell on the sea surface more than 10 kilometers away, stirring up several water columns.

The intention of the German army is obvious, that is, to tell the enemy submarine there that the German naval warship is coming, you should flee quickly!

Normally speaking, if it is a submarine of the Soviet Navy, after hearing the sound of the German Navy's naval guns, it will immediately turn around and evacuate, because the submarine of the Soviet Navy is not an opponent of the German Navy at all, and it is easy to be sunk by the German anti-submarine warfare ships.

During the year-and-a-half-long Soviet-German war, the Soviet submarine industry has been sunk by the German Navy's anti-submarine cruisers, anti-submarine destroyers and submarines, more than 300 submarines, the main reason is that the Soviet submarine technology is too backward, the speed is slow, the diving time is short, and the diving depth is shallow, even if the German Navy is not good at anti-submarine warfare, but it is more than enough to deal with Soviet submarines. Once the Soviet submarine encounters the German ** ship, it is difficult to escape for most of the time, and what awaits them is either captured or sunk.

But today Doric was unlucky, the submarine force opposite him was not the Soviet Navy, but the Chinese Imperial Navy, the earliest submarine fleet in the world. The grandfather of submarine warfare of the navies of various countries. With the most powerful and advanced Song-class submarines, they are not at all afraid of the anti-submarine of the German Navy.

"Keep attacking! Keep your attack intensifying! Let the German Navy see how we sank the ships of their country right under their noses! ”

Wang Haijun immediately ordered, and the six Song-class submarines were highly motivated. Continue the attack on the Keck Ship Regiment. At this time, there were less than 12 tankers left in the Keck group. The six submarines sank an oil tanker for almost every torpedo fired, but there were also cases where several torpedoes hit one tanker at the same time. After all, although the MK40 self-guided torpedo of the Chinese Empire has entered the ranks of the world's third-generation torpedoes, it is still an entry-level technical level, and the anti-jamming ability is still very weak.

Doric felt a little strange when he saw that the cannon fire did not work, but he continued to order the three battleships to fire at the area of the ship.

"Report the situation!"

"15 km away!"

"But no enemy submarines were detected!"

"Turn on the power to the maximum! Search for all sonar messages within a 20 km radius! ”

"It's maxed out!"

"What?"

Doric was stunned for a moment, could it be that what he saw with his eyes was fake? Definitely not! Is it possible that torpedoes are constantly popping up on the surface of the sea to attack nearby tankers, but the sonar does not detect enemy submarines?

Dorik's suspicions grew in his heart. But he knew that his sonar soldier was a good officer, and he believed that he was not lying.

"Can torpedoes detect it?"

"There were explosions everywhere, torpedoes were detected. But you can't lock the location! ”

As a result of the explosion of a large number of tankers in the ship group. Barrels of crude oil inside were constantly exploding in various sizes, and the MK40 self-guided torpedo was sailing on the water. The sound of explosions masked the trajectory of the torpedo.

"Keep probing!"

Doric's heart tugged, and the soldier's intuition told him that this time was dangerous, and the opponent did not seem to be Soviet. He seemed to have some suspicions, but he would not have jumped to conclusions without evidence.

"Ten kilometers away! No traces of enemy submarines were found! ”

"Damn it! Where to hide! ”

Doric was a little frizzy, and immediately ordered: "Target 240, 11,000 meters away, three rapid fire!" ”

Doric is very experienced, although he can't find the location of the enemy submarine, but he can guess the possible hiding place of the submarine, after all, the range of the torpedo is limited, according to his estimate, the submarine must be within a radius of 1,000 meters from the attacked tanker, and then according to the best attack position, there are only a few places suitable for the submarine to launch torpedoes.

The three German ** ships fired hundreds of shells of various types in an instant, and carried out saturation strikes in the 240 direction.

"Sonar Report: No anomalies found!"

Doric then ordered the main gun to fire in the direction of SCP-270, but the sonar soon reported that there were no unusual noise fluctuations there.

Then Doric chose five or six more places where the submarines might haunt and shelled, and the result was the same.

In the bridge of the Wuchangyu submarine in the 300 direction, Wang Haijun had already locked on the positions of the three warships of Doric's fleet through radar and sonar, as well as the area where Doric's shelling was learned.

"He has beaten him all over the best attack positions in submarine warfare, and it seems that this commander has a lot of tricks, and we have to pay attention to him."

Chen Jun nodded and said: "If it weren't for the self-guided torpedoes we used, we wouldn't have to stay in those so-called best attack positions, I'm afraid that even if the shell just didn't sink us, it would at least give us a great threat." ”

"yes!" Wang Haijun smiled and said: "The other party just wants to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, he may think that the reason why our submarine was not detected by his sonar is because of the hovering state." He's trying to force us to start the engine so that they can detect it by their sonar! Sure enough! ”

Chen Jun smiled: "It's a pity! His opponent is us, doomed to defeat! ”

Wang Haijun nodded and said, "To be on the safe side, we have to kill them!" ”

"Agreed!" Chen Jun also thinks the same way.

Therefore, Wang Haijun immediately issued an order to the other five submarines, ordering three of them to continue attacking the remaining seven or eight oil tankers, and the other two submarines to attack the two destroyers of the German Navy respectively, but Wang Haijun commanded the Wuchang Yu submarine to directly attack the light cruiser Vazmin.

Since the German destroyer DD453 was the first to rush into battle, it happened that there was an eel submarine not far from her. As a result, the German ship DD453 became the first victim.

"Targeted!"

"Torpedo No. 9 went into torpedo compartment No. 3! Ready to launch! Ready for launch! ”

"Torpedo No. 9 launched!"

"Launch torpedo No. 9!"

"Torpedo No. 9 fired!"

The submarine Eel was behind the German ship DD 453. When the Mk40 torpedo was launched. It was immediately detected by the sonar crews of the German ship.

"The torpedo is approaching quickly! In the rear of our ship! ”

"What? Protect the battleship! Right full rudder emergency evasion! ”

The captain of the 453 was very depressed, and he didn't even notice that he was followed by the tail. But there was something that made him even more depressed, and soon the sonar soldier shouted: "The torpedo is approaching at high speed. It's too late! ”

The captain suddenly shouted: "I am the captain, the whole ship is ready to prevent impact!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, a 21-inch red-headed torpedo hit the stern of the destroyer DD453. The huge explosion instantly shattered the stern of the destroyer, which was less than 1,300 tons. The violent explosion shock wave quickly spread to the whole ship, most of the German officers and soldiers in the front of the warship were shaken to the ground, and many people hit their heads and bled out, but even more unfortunately, the next moment a huge explosion shock wave swept in, the entire destroyer was torn apart, and everyone was instantly drowned in the flames of the explosion.

One second it was a beautiful destroyer, the next it was a volley of debris and the next was a half-section bow and two anchors in free fall in the air.

The destroyer DD453 was destroyed in an instant. The other destroyer and all the German officers and men on the cruiser Vazmin, where Doric was, were stunned.

Since the Second World War, there has not been a record of a German destroyer being sunk by a submarine. The sinking of destroyers, cruisers, battleships, aircraft carriers, etc., by submarines has always been the patent of German submarines, and now destroyers of the German Navy are easily sunk by enemy submarines. And it's super gorgeous and sinks with one blow. Not even a single round was fought, which was undoubtedly a hard slap in the face to the Germans. Let them feel the hot pain and humiliation.

"Sonar report!"

"No trace of enemy submarines was found!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Doric was almost about to hit someone, but as a German nobleman, he held back.

"It must be lurking there and not moving!"

Doric can still only rely on the traditional anti-submarine common sense to judge that the submarine must still be in the attack position just now, and only by hovering still can he avoid the detection of the German sonar, and he never thought that a submarine could avoid the detection of sonar. The incessant sound of explosions in the sea area made it difficult for German sonar crews to distinguish the ocean noise from the Song-class submarines, because the Song-class submarines were too close to the ocean noise, and it was difficult to detect the difference in the middle unless they were carefully screened by targeted and quiet ones.

Obviously, the sonar soldiers of the German Navy at this time did not have that awareness at all.

"Knock knock!"

The German ships opened heavy fire, and shells rained down on the waters near the newly destroyed destroyer DD453, but the sonar crews did not hear any unusual explosions except for the temporary release of water splashes on the sea.

The sonar shook his head, and Doric collapsed.

It's the first time I've encountered this kind of problem, so it's no wonder if I don't collapse!

"The torpedo is approaching quickly! 9 o'clock! ”

Doric hurriedly ordered: "Protect the battleship!" The left rudder is evaded at full speed, and the starboard side is protected against lightning and ready for battle! ”

The order was given, and the cruiser Vazmin made a quick left turn to evade, while the starboard guns and machine guns of all calibers opened heavy fire and fired wildly at a torpedo fired at the sea.

With a loud "boom", the torpedo was unexpectedly exploded by the cruiser's artillery, which made the German officers and men on the ship breathe a sigh of relief.

Doric laughed angrily, and the encounter with a strong opponent seemed to interest him as well.

Soon, he ordered the cruiser Vazmin to turn around, and the sonar hit the sea area where the torpedo had just been spotted.

Under the surface of the sea, Wang Haijun originally thought that firing a torpedo would be enough to sink the German cruiser, but he never expected that the other side would be able to blow up the torpedo with rapid-fire guns, and this probability was actually very low, and Wang Haijun had to admire the luck of the German officers and men.

Seeing that the German ship turned around and came back, Wang Haijun immediately guessed the next intention of the German ship, so he hurriedly ordered the Wuchang Yu submarine to urgently dive to 200 meters, and then detour to the rear of the German ship's side and float again.

"I heard a lot of bubbles! It's the enemy's submarine that is coming afloat, right behind us! ”

After being scolded by Doric many times, the sonar soldiers of the German ship finally got their mouth shut and discovered an unusual sound underwater.

Doric hurried to the stern of the ship, looked through the binoculars, and sure enough, he noticed an unusual increase in bubbles somewhere in his wake.

"Target 600 meters, depth 50 meters, launch!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Four sets of depth charge catapults in the stern of the cruiser Vazmin quickly fired dozens of depth charges into the marked position.

At this time, the Wuchang Yu was indeed floating, and Wang Haijun did not realize that a large number of bubbles floating on the submarine would be detected by the sonar soldiers of the German ship. He was already very careful, thinking that it would be very hidden to use the noise of the wake of the enemy ship to cover up the sound of bubbles floating in the rear of the German ship, but he was still discovered.

But he was lucky, he had dived 200 meters before, and just 100 meters after the ascent was reached, the German ship fired depth charges. However, the German ship thought that the underwater submarine was a submarine of the Soviets, so it only set the explosion depth according to the diving depth standard of the Soviet submarine, and as a result, the Wuchang Yu was spared.

"Boom!"

A series of large underwater explosions, the power of the Germans' depth charges was so great that even the Wuchang Fish, which was fifty meters below, felt the vibration and shaking of the submarine.

Wang Haijun immediately ordered to stop the ascent, quickly turned away from the danger zone, and recircled to the right side of the Vazmin, and slowly floated up as it moved.

At this time, the German destroyer DD287 was sunk, and the loud explosion muffled the noise of the Wuchang Fish floating. While the German officers and men on the Vazmin were dumbfounded as they watched the DD287 destroyer, which had been blown to pieces, the Wuchangyu submarine went around and floated to a depth of 20 meters, and then fired two torpedoes at the port side of the German ship.

"Torpedoes are approaching! At 7 o'clock! ”

"The second torpedo is near! At 7 o'clock! ”

Doric was already deeply hit at this time, after the two destroyers were sunk, he knew very well that he had become surrounded by the enemy, and at this time all the oil tankers on the other side had been sunk, and he had no point in staying, so he ordered an anti-torpedo battle while ordering a full-speed evacuation.

The German rapid-fire guns fired frantically at the incoming torpedoes, but this time they failed to hit the two torpedoes that came at high speed, but the Vazmin cruiser was fast, up to 31 knots, and Doric used his experience to quickly break away from the torpedoes.

However, at this moment, the German officers and men were dumbfounded, and saw two torpedoes turn around and chase the wake of the Vazmin.

"How so?"

Doric seemed to understand something, but the time given to him was too short to think about anything else, and immediately ordered the battleship to turn.

But no matter how the Vazmin turned, the two torpedoes followed closely and quickly approached. However, the main guns of the light cruiser Vazmin in the stern direction had a blind spot for firing, which did not work at a distance of one thousand meters.

"Boom! Boom! ”

Two 21-inch red-headed torpedoes eventually hit the Vazmin, and the huge explosion instantly blew the stern to pieces, causing the entire battleship to come to a halt.

Even if it was hit by two torpedoes, the Vazmin was not like the other two destroyers, which were blown to pieces by one torpedo. As a light cruiser, the Vazmin was placed there in tonnage, so that it would not be blown up and shattered all at once.

But the stern of the ship was gone, the sea water poured into it frantically, and the whole battleship sank rapidly, and Doric had to give the order to abandon the ship, but the ship sank too fast, and only more than forty people, including Doric, jumped into the sea to escape.

Doric originally wanted to be a prisoner, so that he could see who beat him so miserably, but unfortunately, Wang Haijun saw that he had completed the task, and out of secrecy, he didn't care whether the Germans lived or died, and led the team out of the sea and went to the next route to look for prey.
