As the commander of the House, Fang Lang knew very well that the warship would face a real test in the next few days, so he also informed the crew to cancel the night drill, increase vigilance, and be ready to deal with the sudden attack of the German submarine at any time.

The first day was spent very peacefully, the crew were happy to reduce the drill by one, and the soldiers who did not have to work at night could finally sleep peacefully.

The next morning, just after the actual combat drill ended, Fang Lang was eating a hearty lunch in the lounge of the navigation bridge, when he heard the sonar soldier and said suspiciously:

"Sir, I heard a strange noise just now, but I'm not sure."

Fang Langteng stood up suddenly, followed the swaying hull, and strode into the sonar room:

"What do you hear?"

Seeing Fang Lang coming in, the sonar soldier was a little nervous, afraid that he was nervous and misreported the military situation. In a tone of voice that is not so uncertain:

"Sir, I'm not sure, the boat is fast, and I feel like a glass of water hitting the ground."

Fang Lang didn't know if it was the reason for his rebirth, his sixth sense became very keen, and when he heard the sonar soldier's report, the alarm bell sounded in his heart, and he immediately said to the cab:

"The boatswain sounded the combat alarm, notified the whole ship to be on alert, reduced the speed, the cruising speed was advanced, set the speed for twenty-two knots, note that this is not an exercise, this is not an exercise, the center of the situation, here is the bridge, I am Fang Lang, the sonar found a suspected German submarine, see if you can find an abnormality on your surface radar."

Soon you heard the voice of De la Torre on the communicator:

"Sir, the radar has not found anything abnormal for the time being!"

The driver reported loudly:

"The speed of the captain has dropped to twenty-two knots, and it has reached sonar speed."

Fang Lang confirmed to the sonar officer again:

"Can you determine the direction of the sound?"

When the sonar soldiers saw that the captain attached so much importance to it, whether it was true or not, they had to get serious. The most important thing is that he thinks he should have heard it right.

"Long official position 036, two nautical miles away."

After Fang Lang silently calculated in his heart, he spoke:

"Left rudder 30, go in a roundabout way."

A reply came from the cab:

"Understood! Left rudder 30, in a roundabout way. ”

Immediately after that, he began to feel that the warship began to turn, and Fang Lang came to the wheelhouse to pick up the wireless channel:

"Callaghan, this is the House, a suspected German submarine target has been found, azimuth 036, two nautical miles away, our ship will go to confirm, over."

Immediately after that, the radio received a reply:

"House, Callaghan received, suspected German submarine target, azimuth 036, two nautical miles away, attack allowed, pay attention to safety!"

Since the command ship allowed him to attack, then you are welcome, but even if the commander did not allow it, he would consider dropping two depth charges to test the water.

"House received!"

Although the sonar soldier was not sure about this target at first, Fang Lang's sixth sense told him that there were fish underwater, so he did not hesitate to order the whole ship to be on alert.

"Sonar, can you hear the propellers?"

The sonar soldier was very nervous at this time, because except for the previous abnormal noise, no abnormal noise was heard from behind.

"The sir's hydrophone effect is so weak that you can't hear the propellers. Could it be that I heard it wrong! ”

Seeing that the sonar soldier was a little unconfident, Fang Lang smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said:

"It's okay, right or wrong, let's try it! Be confident, I believe in you, and I don't blame you for being wrong. ”

Turning his head and pressing the ship's communicator again, he said:

"War Center, I'm Fang Lang, has the surface radar found any abnormalities?"

Soon the voice of De la Torre came from the communicator:

"Sir, there are no anomalies on the water."

Fang Lang walked out of the bridge, raised his binoculars and looked at the sea on the left side of the warship, and the signal soldier next to him handed over a coat, Fang Lang did not take it, but carefully observed the sea in front of him.

The weather temperature in the northern hemisphere in mid-April is only ten degrees, and today's sea breeze is at least level six, blowing a little cold on people's bodies, the waves are about four meters high, and the waves are turbulent, fortunately there is no rain in the sky, so the sight is quite good, but unfortunately the undulating waves make Fang Lang's eyes search nothing.

After looking at it for about two minutes, Fang Lang returned to the bridge and ordered:

"All lookout posts focused on searching one square nautical mile in front of the left, prepared for depth charges, and at medium depth. We'll see if we can force him out. ”

But just as Fang Lang finished giving the order, he heard the radioman hand over the communicator and say:

"Sir, Harry's communication request."

Fang Lang didn't think much about it, picked up the communicator and said:

"Harry, this is the House, please tell me if you receive it!"

Soon Fang Lang heard Reinhardt's voice coming from inside;

"House, I'm Reinhardt, the captain of the Harry, we have already searched and confirmed for you, there is no abnormality in the target area, please return to the team immediately and maintain the escort formation."

Fang Lang's heart had a thousand grass and mud horses galloping by, and a national scolding blurted out:

"Silly... Compare! ”

Fortunately, the other party does not understand the language arts, which have a history of 5,000 years. Asked suspiciously:

"House, I am Reinhardt, the commander of the left side of the escort fleet, I order you, abandon the search, return quickly, protect the transport fleet, please answer if you receive it."

Fang Langcai didn't bother to pay attention to him, picked up the communicator and said:

"What's the situation, it's time for battle, what's wrong with the communicator, it's all noise, call the mechanic to come and see."

After saying that, he hung up the communicator without paying attention, as if nothing had happened, and the officers and soldiers on the bridge looked at him, not knowing what was happening.

At this time, on the Harry, Reinhardt was at a loss, what was the situation, was there a radio problem? I can hear him! The adjutant next to him asked:

"Sir, what's wrong!"

Reinhardt also said with a questioning face:

"They said the radio was out of order, and they couldn't hear me, but it was okay just now?"

After thinking about it, the adjutant next to him said weakly:

"Sir, could the other party have said this on purpose?"

Hearing the adjutant's words, Reinhardt also reacted, jumped to his feet angrily, and cursed loudly:

"Damn yellow-skinned monkey, this Brazilian turtle, dare to ignore me, wait for me, and I will make you pay."

After saying that, he ordered loudly:

"Left full rudder, azimuth 035, let's lean over, this bastard, I must teach you a good lesson!"

Then Harry made a left turn and sped away.

What Reinhardt didn't know was that at this time, at a depth of 90 meters under the water of the House, a German submarine was keeping all hands silent. Everyone was holding their breath and not daring to make a sound.

Captain Schrader did not expect this warship to be so alert, as the captain of the submarine U441 of the German Navy's submarine force, he was experienced in a hundred battles, and he sank as many as five warships, and more than 20 transport ships.

Originally, this time he found a random place on the Atlantic route and tried his luck. Unexpectedly, I was so lucky that I was about to change my breath on the sea, when I saw a huge fleet of transport ships in the periscope.

Schredder knew he was rich! Immediately, in accordance with the wolf pack tactics of the German Navy, they began to dive, preparing to follow the big fish, and notify the wolves by radio to hunt in front of the fleet route.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, the entire fleet has passed more than half of their heads, and no one has noticed anything abnormal, as a result, because a soldier accidentally touched the water cup in the hands of his comrades behind him when he got up, and there was a "bang" sound.

No one dared to make any more moves. Because of this strange noise, one of the destroyers immediately began to turn, rapidly approaching directly above their heads.

Frightened all the crew, they didn't dare to move, for fear of making any noise again and attracting the attention of the other party, and they would be finished.

After all, the submarine is an assassin in the dark, and if the submarine is discovered by the destroyer, it will be a big trouble, not to mention whether it can be beaten, but the speed is a big difference. Not to mention fighting, you can't run.

However, the destroyer has already begun to circle above their heads, and now they can only gamble, after all, they are now in a state of silence, and it is better to be still.

Just as they were nervously waiting, the destroyer overhead suddenly heard the sound of "knock, knock, knock, knock" objects falling into the water, and Schredder's face changed drastically. yelled: "Depth charges, collision alerts, everyone be careful!" ”
