Shells whistled and water jets danced, and 10 German torpedo boats sped across the undulating sea, their bow splashing onto the foredeck. On the gun position of the 88mm rapid-fire gun, the German sailors were firing 9kg high-explosive shells at the opponent without stopping: although the momentum was so insignificant compared to the overwhelming dense rain of bullets on the other side, and the accuracy of the high-speed march was also one in a hundred, but the indomitable determination of this assassin team was vividly demonstrated through this!

"Boom! Rumble! "Thunder roared, red light burst out, and the torpedo boat numbered G-196 was hit by two 102-mm shells in the blink of an eye. Captain Finn, who was nervously watching the distance of the enemy ship on the flybridge, saw a flash in his eyes, and then a sharp pain in his chest was like a tear: a palm-sized piece of shrapnel burst out of the back of his chest and was nailed to the steel plate behind him with a thud, and red blood continued to drip down from the tail blade.

The air waves were blazing, the flames were blazing, and the entire deck flybridge of the torpedo boat was illuminated red. Finn let out a heart-rending scream, fell to the ground involuntarily, and hurriedly bandaged his wounds in shock, but the blood gushing out like a fountain instantly dyed the white bandage blood red. A sailor rushed onto the flybridge, ready to report the loss to Finn, but when he saw the captain's shocking injuries, his heart felt like he had fallen into the precipice of the abyss!

"Power...... Has the powertrain been damaged? Feeling the sound of hurried footsteps beside him, Finn, who had suffered a fatal wound to his lungs, struggled to ask, red and white blood foaming from his mouth. The young sailor's throat was sour. Replied loudly, "Captain." The power remains intact. The British blew up our chimneys and bow guns. Eight brothers have died honorably! ”

Hearing the sailor's words, Finn's heart was relieved, and the intense dizziness in his brain from Yan Zòng's blood loss made him almost want to sleep forever; However, the strict order from the bottom of his heart suddenly woke him up, and the task order before leaving filled his heart. The British fleet is still slaughtering its own robes, and the 66 million hard-working, punctual, loyal and strict Germanic people are still surrounded by the hostility of the old bandits and villains. The enemy in front of them is the core of the pillar of the Anglo-Saxons who dare to declare war on the Germans: how can they go to the other world without fulfilling their mission to crush them?

Finn gritted his teeth. His legs struggled and trembled, and with all his strength, he finally stood up with the help of the soldiers beside him. A 343-mm high-explosive bomb exploded in the sea more than 30 meters in front of the side of the torpedo boat, and the waves crashed wildly into the hull of the G-196, as if to break the slender warship into two parts. In the midst of a tumultuous torrent, Finn roared in a hoarse voice that almost popped out of his teeth: "Torpedo boat left...... Turn a compass point to the left and prepare to attack the third in the opposing ship...... Ship

"Boom!" Shortly after the torpedo boat began to turn, several more 102-mm shells hit the bridge in succession, and in an instant the thunder shook wildly, and the waves of fire rushed and rushed: Finn felt only a wave of fiery air like a volcanic eruption rushing towards him. His body was violently pushed against the steel wall behind him, and his face was burning. The impact of the wound hurts into the bone marrow. With a sweet suffice in his throat, he forcibly swallowed the blood that poured into his mouth, and struggled to open his eyes. The air was filled with the smell of poisonous smoke and blood, and the deck was already a tragic scene of flames and corpses; The lifeboat was blown to pieces, and the steel plates that burst and curled the blades and twisted scrap metal filled the view. However, the speed of the torpedo boat did not decrease much, and it was still running at a speed of more than 30 knots.

4500 m ...... 4000 m ...... 3500 m ...... 3000 m ...... In the thunderous explosion of artillery fire, Finn turned a deaf ear, and his eyes were only firmly fixed on the target warship that was getting closer and closer to him. Until now, no German soldier had had the privilege of looking at the British battleship at such a close distance. It has a slender hull that is almost as slender as the German battle cruiser, and its iconic triangular mast stands out to Finn: the five twin turrets are all pointed at themselves, and no one doubts the overwhelming power of their roar. The hull of the British battleship was constantly spewing orange-red flames, thanks to the jungle-like water column around the G-196. Although he was able to launch a multi-ship fan torpedo attack at a distance of 3,000 meters, Finn was determined to risk losing his bones at any time. The success or failure of this torpedo attack has a direct bearing on the success or failure of the entire high seas fleet's sortie. Either rush close enough, or die in front of the other party's bullet rain!

As the distance continued to close, the accuracy of the secondary guns on the British battleships also improved rapidly; In an instant, the G-196 received two more shells, and the other torpedo boat was paralyzed on the surface. However, since the G-196 landed, not a single German torpedo boat flinched in the slightest. When the distance between the two sides was shortened to within 2,000 meters, Finn, who had been silent, finally shouted loudly: "Full rudder left, all torpedo salvo!" ”

This mid-air command drained Finn's entire body, his mind swirled, his eyes were dark, the blood from his mouth flowed out like a spring, and his whole body did not fall down thanks to the support of the sailors beside him. The torpedo boats at high speed then began to turn sharply, and the strong centrifugal force gave the German sailors the illusion that the battleship was going to roll on its side. The two twin 500-mm torpedo tubes on the middle deck had already been loaded and aimed at the target, and the moment the small torpedo boat turned to the firing angle, the four torpedoes suddenly jumped into the water like fish and rushed forward at an even faster speed of 37 knots. A white torpedo track soon appeared on the surface of the sea. In this plane, the German Navy used combat torpedo towers in the pre-dreadnought era, and this kind of thing not only covered people's eyes, but also contributed to the early leap forward in German naval torpedo technology.

Following the fiery G-196, six other German torpedo boats that had successfully broken through the blockade also fired torpedoes at this distance, and a large number of white waterlines appeared on the surface of the sea like a tapestry. The battleline of the British Grand Fleet, which had been imposing and majestic, collapsed like houses made of cards, and the bell of the emergency rudder rang in every corner of the battleship. At this time, it all depends on the skill and experience of the old helmsman or the captain himself. In addition to ensuring the avoidance of torpedoes, they also had to avoid collisions between friendly ships: if a dreadnought with a displacement of 20,000 tons or more had a close contact, the consequences of its flooding would definitely not be a joke!

On the collapsed and twisted flybridge, Finn gritted his teeth and watched intently at the speeding torpedo. With the sharp turn of the rudder of the British battleship, the rain of bullets covering the German torpedo boats suddenly thinned out a lot, but Finn did not feel the slightest relief from this, but was full of tension and anxiety. One torpedo has already been confirmed to be dodged by the British, and the second torpedo will hardly have a moment to explode. Now he could only pin his hopes on the last two torpedoes: with the 195kg Hexanite high explosives loaded with the G/7 torpedoes, only one shot was enough to inflict heavy damage on the British battleship!

At this moment, the good fortune of the G-196 torpedo boat also came to an end completely. A 305-mm high-explosive bomb crashed into the sea less than 15 meters away, and the shrapnel that struck like a storm instantly turned its side into a sieve, and the speed of the torpedo boat could no longer be maintained. Nearly twenty German sailors were swept to the ground by the rain of shrapnel, and blood soon soaked the deck surface. Naturally, the British battleship would not let go of this opportunity to beat the water dogs, and a barrage rushed in, the red light exploded in cascading, the waves of fire roared horizontally, and the slender and fragile body of the torpedo boat made a terrifying sound of steel plate breaking. The black vulture cross flag fluttered high, burning like a torch in the blue sky. Somehow, Finn's eyes were hot, and tears couldn't help but flow out. The German Navy, which fearlessly moved forward bravely in the rain of bullets and bullets, was no longer the weak force that once cowered in the yellow water near the shore; They have truly taken over the trident of Poseidon, the emperor of the sea, and have become the new masters of the vast ocean!

In the apocalyptic flames and smoke, Finn's lips, who had the last bit of strength, moved and silently counted the seconds of time; The large amount of blood gushing out of his chest had soaked his military uniform, but Finn, who knew that he was going to die, didn't care about it, just stared at the sea in the distance. Finally, a column of clouds and water tens of meters high suddenly rose in the middle of the British fleet, like a white dragon breaking through the sea and dancing into the sky; A satisfied smile twinked at the corner of Fin's lips, and then he slowly fell to his knees against the railing, and lay on the deck without moving.

"The G-196 and 11 other torpedo boats launched a torpedo attack on the British Grand Fleet with the help of a smoke screen, and by 11:45 a.m., it was confirmed that they had hit two enemy George V-class and one Bellerophon-class battleship. 8 torpedo boats of our side were gloriously sunk, long live the German Navy! ”

In the navigation room of the Frederick the Great, Ingnoll, with a goatee, stared blankly at the telegram in his hand, his mind was empty, and he did not come back to his senses for a long time. Only 3 of the 11 torpedo boats survived, what kind of terrible loss rate is this? Behind this telegram of just a few dozen words, how many lives and painstaking efforts of the officers and men of the torpedo boat unit were condensed? In order to ensure that the lightning strike can get a hit, they have already fought a qiē!

"I won't let your sacrifice go to waste." Ingnoll murmured, as if to himself, more like to the departed heroic spirit on the cusp of the clouds, "The time has come when Germany will dominate the oceans." (To be continued......)
