In another corner of this poor sailor's sight, there is actually a periscope that is constantly watching the movements of the transport fleet here. At such a delicate moment, the German submarine finally showed all its killer moves and began to rain deadly torpedoes on the opponent who was unable to fight back.

Before he could run off into the distance, a torpedo hit the iron plate of the ship's side below the deck where he was standing.

The huge inertia caused the torpedo to hit the iron plate heavily, and then the vibration activated the torpedo fuse, igniting the explosives behind it, and in just a moment, the excitation action was completed, and the entire body of the torpedo was torn into countless invisible fragments by the terrible chemical energy.

Before the poor sailor and the men around him realized the next thought in their minds, the explosion and the flames, they devoured their bodies, and then the sea water, pushed away by the torpedo explosion, began to vibrate and tear repeatedly, twisting and destroying the ship's side.

The human body looked so humble and small in the face of such a violent force, and as the shock wave spread, these sailors close to the center of the explosion circle were pushed high into the air, and then because the force was too strong, they broke into several or dozens of pieces in the process of flying.

There is no need to notify other ships anymore, nor do you need to notify your own captain, because as long as you are not blind, you can see this brilliant firework, and as long as you are not deaf, you can hear this deafening sound.

Seawater poured into the interior of the ship, and it was impossible for a merchant ship without heavy armor to resist this terrible weapon, and the huge force that even a battleship could not resist destroyed the ship's supporting structure in an instant, and the distorting sound of steel could still be heard clearly even in the noise of a loud explosion.

The buoyancy of the two sections of the hit transport ship did not change for a short time, but in the middle, because of the large amount of water entering the cargo, the weight increased sharply, but the effect of buoyancy was lost, so with the sound of clicking, the damaged steel keel began to crack, and the huge steel bar was twisted into two sections by a stronger force.

As the keel deformed, the sturdy rivets on the surrounding iron plates were squeezed out like bullets, splashing everywhere inside the cabin, flying everywhere like bullets, piercing the chests or stomachs of the hapless sailors. Blood seeped into the sea, turning red and blinding.

In just a dozen seconds, the transport ship broke apart from the middle, and the stern and bow of the ship were raised high at both ends, leaving the sea with dripping seawater, and the bottom of the ship, which had been soaked in water for many years, was covered with marine creatures, and it looked far less smooth than other parts.

"Transport H19 has been sunk! Oh my God! That's on the left! There's an enemy submarine over there! There's an enemy submarine over there!" At the center, a crew member shouted with a telescope, his cry was full of despair, as if death was standing above his head.

In order to protect the safety of the entire fleet, and to better protect important and scarce materials, the large fleets that go to Iceland line up the ships in the fleet according to their importance: the outermost ships generally carry worthless food or cheap materials, and the inner part is the personnel and some weapons and equipment, and the most core parts of the ships are more dangerous, either oil or ammunition.

In the present situation, the formation of the whole fleet was already in disarray, and it was evident that the Germans had come prepared, and the situation seemed very unpleasant - it would be a very desperate thing to sit on a ship loaded with 10 tons of explosives and 30 tons of shells and munitions at this moment.

Sure enough, before the crew of the arms carrier could study how to improve their current situation, they saw that a transport ship in the core not far away had been hit by a leaking torpedo. In an instant, the exploding water column rose at least 20 stories high, and the explosion was accompanied by the heroic death of the oil tanker that carried the most fuel in the entire fleet.

This huge mass of fire, which resembled an ultimate explosion, sounded the horn of the collapse of the British, and some of the transports, which were on the edge and very well separated from the large forces, began to evade while leaving the fleet and fleeing in other directions. And the destroyers, which were supposed to protect the merchant ships, were now scrambling against the tricky German submarines.

The perimeter of the fleet was actually not very peaceful, and over time, the British destroyers had dropped a barrage of depth charges, making a series of dull noises in the depths of the ocean. The massive explosion repeatedly tugged at the seawater, eventually spreading the powerful tearing force over a considerable distance.

However, the exploding depth charges apparently did not have the effect they should, as the explosion site was too far away from the target they were intended to attack. The U-47 submarine had taken advantage of its excellent speed to shake off the British destroyer that was chasing it. After all, the sound of explosions in the distance affected the sonar detection of both sides, and the current combat environment was very harsh, which was conducive to the evasion of submarines.

If the British Royal Navy were to rank the German ships it hated, it would be the German submarines in first place. This damn weapon didn't seem to be in the minds of the British, it was nothing short of trampling on the invention of the British Empire.

When it comes to the battle of the English Channel, the British have always felt that the German Navy's aircraft carrier fleet is invincible, and they believe that if it were not for the German spies who happened to kill at a critical moment, then the final winner of that naval battle would have been the British Royal Navy. Therefore, even after losing sea supremacy, or air supremacy at sea, the British Navy is still full of confidence in victory.

The spirit of Nelson, which has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow for a hundred years, and the pride and strength that have been erected for a hundred years, cannot be affected by a small setback. The only thing that makes the British Royal Navy unforgettable is the shame of the loss of the homeland.

They even thought that the real threat to the British Royal Navy was none other than the German submarines, and the damned battleship "Marshal Raeder". As for aircraft carriers, as long as the United States supports the British aircraft carriers in place, it is not a big deal at all.

Unfortunately, since the appearance of the ghost in the North Atlantic, the British have begun to look up to their opponents. When one battleship after another sank under the German torpedoes, the British finally felt the uneasiness on their backs, and uneasiness began to permeate their hearts.

Now, something desperate has happened, the original only one Ghost has now become several, and the technical solutions that are ready to deal with the German Ghost submarine are still in the laboratory, and there is no possibility of mass production at all.

Some people have imagined using decoys and a large number of planes to preset an ambush position to take out the ghost, but so far there has been no record of planes spotting the ghost submarine, which is too coincidental to be summarized by luck.

According to the analysis of the technical department, the Germans have made technological progress in the miniaturization of radars, at least they can install radars on such submarines, so they can avoid all kinds of patrol aircraft in the sky.

A large number of spies operating in France have also taken blurry long-range photographs of this submarine, and from the analysis of the reference objects, this submarine has a larger tonnage, and has eliminated weapons such as anti-aircraft guns, so it has reduced some underwater noise, is more concealed and faster.

As for why this submarine can drive more than 15 knots underwater and can lurk underwater for a long time, this can only be summarized by conjecture and inference. The British and American naval technical departments believe that the submarine is likely to use an unknown power, and some clues judge that the ghost submarine is equipped with a very high-performance battery system.

Combined with the known ultra-high torpedo rate of fire of this submarine, the general outline of such a submarine is formed - this weapon is enough to be described as epoch-making, at least the British and American intelligence agencies have offered a sky-high price, and whoever can get the design drawings or part of the design drawings of this thing will be awarded 5 million US dollars.

As for why German torpedoes could attack oncoming ships head-on, this is a simple technical cover-up. The two German submarines, which were lying in ambush in front and silently waiting for the approach of the opposing fleet, changed the contact explosion fuse of the torpedo to a timed explosion through a simple calculation device on the submarine, and set the explosion time.

This simple computer is the latest product of the Turing working group, and although it does not meet the requirements of complex calculations in advance, it can do some simple fixed calculations, which are used on new submarines to help set such timing fuzes. The torpedo did not explode when it touched the enemy's hull, but exploded around the hull at the appointed time.

It is precisely because of this attack method that Prion arranged two submarines to block the way in front of the British transport fleet, and it is precisely because of the dense formation of ships on the other side that the hit probability of this delayed automatic detonation fuse is increased. The British would probably never have imagined that the Germans, using mathematically rather than technically, increased the pattern of their own torpedo attacks.

This is a technological victory, a deliberate weapon development, and a revolutionary subversion of outdated tactics and equipment. If we divide it from a technical point of view, the German submarines have already crossed the threshold of modern submarine design with half a foot, while the British escort ships and escort methods are still stuck at the end of the pitiful First World War.
