Chapter 64: Naval Battle III

On the destroyer House at this time, Fang Lang was also constantly calculating the distance between the submarine and the Harry, and he didn't understand why the German submarine didn't turn! Instead, he went straight ahead to the Harry.

Could it be that this is the legendary two-way love? After all, he didn't know that the two depth charges he had just hit had damaged the submarine, and now the U441 was leaking and its speed was dropping terribly.

Fang Lang, who turned around and watched, the sailors on the Harry were panicked and prepared depth charges.

In the captain's room of the Harry, seeing Fang Lang on the port side of him, close to the direction of the fleet, Reinhardt smiled proudly, what if you found the enemy ship! In the end, it's not like you're going to be picked by yourself.

"Sir, the azimuth is 270, and the enemy seems to have stopped at a distance of two nautical miles."

The sonar soldier's report made Reinhardt stunned, what is the situation, didn't he say that he would go both ways! Why don't you go halfway through! Looks like you don't really love me! But you don't love me, it's okay, I love you.

"Keep an eye on the enemy ship at all times, and beware of him suddenly turning and fleeing. Attack freely after entering the attack range! ”

"Understand, attack freely when you get into the attack range."

At this time, on the German U441 submarine, which was kept at a depth of one hundred and fifty meters, a report from the first mate came:

"Sir, azimuth 090, two nautical miles away."

As an excellent captain of a German U-boat, Schrader has already changed his attack thinking, and since he doesn't have to die together, what he has to do now is to escape immediately!

"Immediately report on the current position of the destroyer in the rear."

"Bearing 116, three nautical miles."

Schredder couldn't help but curse in his heart, it seems that he has met a master, and now in this situation, if he wants to escape, he must hide under the transport fleet, with the help of the propeller sound of the freighter, to avoid pursuit.

However, this destroyer had already circled between itself and the transport fleet one step ahead, and it was at least eighteen nautical miles away from the transport fleet, and it was impossible not to be discovered by the other side at such a distance.

It seems that you need to make a little noise to provide cover for yourself. Thinking of this, Schrader immediately ordered:

"Release the decoy bomb."

"Understood, sir, the decoy bomb has been released."

The so-called decoy bomb is a kind of mechanical decoy invented by the German army, which is the size of a refrigerator and will float in the water like an effervescent tablet and spray outward, misleading the enemy to attack and taking the opportunity to abscond.

In German, it is called "Piren Woff", also known as the tablet dropper.

"Thirty on the right side, course 120, we withdraw."

"Understood, sir, course 120, right hand hand thirty."

As soon as the order was given, Schrader heard the sound of depth charges falling into the water like dumplings on the sea.

Hearing the sound of depth charges falling into the water, the corners of Schredder's mouth curled, knowing that the enemy ship above had been fooled, and he could quickly abscond with the sound of depth charges falling into the water and exploding. Ordered loudly:

"Hurry up and repair the No. 1 engine, the No. 2 engine is full of power, and move forward at full speed."

"It's sir, full speed ahead."

Reinhardt on the Harry couldn't contain his emotions at the moment, and began to laugh out loud;

"Haha.... The other German devils ran away and threw all the depth charges on his head for Lao Tzu, haha..... Lao Tzu's first kill is in hand. ”

Grab the binoculars and keep looking at the sea, hoping to spot oil stains on the bottom of the sea or a bigger explosion. Unfortunately, it backfired, and none of the lookout posts on the Harry found any signs of the enemy submarine being destroyed.

Reinhardt thought it was a depth charge that was not deep enough, and ordered:

"All bombs were dropped at the maximum depth."

All the crew immediately obeyed the order.

"Yes sir, depth charges are dropped at maximum depth."

The lively scene near the Harry on the sea in the distance, Fang Lang was aggrieved when he saw it, TMD is obviously Lao Tzu's dish, but he ran to your bowl by himself, where is Lao Tzu going to reason.

Fang Lang also stood on the side of the ship, using binoculars, carefully helping to observe whether there was any submarine damage on the sea, although the credit could not be put in his pocket, but how to say that this is also an enemy submarine, for the safety of the fleet, he also hopes that this U-boat can be destroyed.

But looking at it, Fang Lang felt that something was wrong, this Harry was so lively, there was no reason why it couldn't hit him! Unless he sinks straight to the bottom.

The more I looked at it, the more I felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly walked into the bridge and said to the sonar soldier:

"Is there anything unusual at the bottom of the sea?"

"Sir, the entire ocean floor is now filled with the sound of depth charges exploding, and the sonar is completely inoperable."

When Fang Lang heard this, he suddenly felt blessed in his soul and understood that something was wrong. I began to think about what I would do if I were the commander of the submarine, and gradually my eyes began to shine, as if I had figured out something, and directly ordered:

"Boatswain, the whole ship is first-class combat readiness, all weapons are in place."

With Fang Lang's order, the House, which was originally watching the bustle, was like a lit gunpowder, and it moved in an instant.

"War Center, immediately help me calculate the fastest path from the enemy's submarine position to the direction of the transport fleet, and in that direction, how long will our ship meet the enemy at two-thirds of the speed of the right full rudder."

Fang Lang connected the communication inside the ship and gave an order to the battle center.

"It's sir, let's start the math right away." De la Torre's answer rang out immediately.

Fang Lang ordered the bridge pilot again:

"Right full rudder, two-thirds speed."

"Yes, sir, two-thirds of the speed, full rudder right."

Soon the results came from the ship's internal communications.

"Long official direction 135, seven nautical miles away."

"Okay, receipt, great work."

Fang Lang put down the communicator, glanced at the Harry not far away, smiled and shook his head, not paying attention.

At this time, the lookout post on the Harry saw that the House began to turn to the convoy, and thought that the House was going to return to its escort position, and reported to Reinhardt:

"Sir, the House has turned in the direction of the transport fleet, the speed is not fast, it should be back to the battle position."

Reinhardt followed the report of his subordinates, turned his head to look in the direction of the House, and smiled contemptuously:

"Count this Brazilian monkey acquaintance, ignore him, let's kill the German rats down there first."

"Understood, sir."

Reinhardt, who was still blaming Fang Lang for wasting ammunition just now, didn't care at this time, the depth charge thrown from the depth charge launcher, and the entire sea surface was blown up by the Harry, and white spray kept surging. From time to time, there are marine fish, which float on the surface of the sea after being stunned by the powerful shock wave.

At this time, the communication channel of the House came with a communication request from the command ship Callahan:

"House, this is the Callaghan, if the ship is sure of the outcome of the battle, please try to save ammunition,"

Fang Lang was happy with the intercom, it seemed that Lieutenant Colonel Becky, who commanded the ship, heard that the bombing here was too lively, and thought that I was blowing up fish! The aristocratic lord of the Harry also didn't take the command ship too seriously, and it seems that he didn't notify the command ship at all, so he directly ordered to do it!

The command ship thought that the House was constantly dropping bombs, and listening to this movement, a total of sixty depth charges should have been wasted!

Sure enough, the aristocratic lord is rich, and he uses so many depth charges to blow up fish, but he is really a local tyrant. Could it be that he hadn't noticed anything unusual for so long? It's awesome to be able to become a captain so slowly.

"Command ship, this is the House, our ship is tracking the enemy U-boat, azimuth 135, five nautical miles. Now it's the Harry who drops the bomb. ”

Fang Lang's answer made Lieutenant Colonel Becky stunned, what do you mean, isn't it the attack you applied for? Why haven't you caught the enemy ship yet, but the Harry, and started attacking without reporting.

"House, this is the command ship, please explain the specific situation, so that the command ship can judge the enemy's situation."

"Receiving the command ship, our ship spotted the enemy situation in the direction of 036 on the left side of the transport fleet, went to check, and after dropping six depth charges, the enemy ship fled in the direction of Harry. Intercepted by the Harry, over. ”

"House, since the Harry has already begun to attack enemy ships, has your ship discovered a new enemy situation, and why is it pursuing enemy ships in the direction of 135?"

"Lieutenant Commander Becky, I'm Captain Fang Lang of the House, I suspect that the Harry is attacking the enemy ship's decoy shells, according to calculations, I suspect that the enemy ship is fleeing in the direction of 135, over."

After a while, Lieutenant Colonel Becky's voice came over the radio: "Major Fang, I am Lieutenant Colonel Becky, I agree with your judgment, please ensure that you successfully intercept the enemy U-boat, and do not let it rush into the transport fleet to attack." Complete. ”
