"Hurry up, increase the speed to 10 knots. We must leave here as soon as possible." Lieutenant Colonel Doenitz ordered, with excitement and nervousness on his face.
There is no doubt that their operation this time has been successful. The explosions heard before undoubtedly indicated that the torpedoes they launched had hit their targets. Regardless of whether the torpedoes launched in the second round hit the target, their results this time are already very good. If the six torpedoes launched in the second round can hit one or two targets again, this will allow them to obtain greater results.
However, for Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz and other crew members, the most important thing is how to safely escape from Scapa Flow and return to Germany. Otherwise, the angry British will definitely tear them to pieces.
U-037 submarine began to drive quickly towards the waterway of Scapa Flow, trying to escape here. After they hit many of the capital ships of the British Navy, they have already angered the British Navy. On the surface of the sea, searchlights were flickering everywhere, and destroyers one after another began to search for suspicious targets. If they stay any longer, I'm afraid they will be sunk before long. Therefore, you must escape as soon as possible to ensure your own safety.
At this moment in Scapa Flow, the officers and soldiers of the British Navy's Grand Fleet have gone crazy. The sudden sneak attack caused them heavy losses. This is a disgrace to every soldier in the Royal Navy. They all want to do their best to find out the German submarine and destroy it to wash away their shame. Of course, even if they sank the German submarine, they would not be able to make up for the loss. The cost of a capital ship is more than twenty times that of a submarine!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Suddenly, there was another explosion in Scapa Flow. The two battleships were hit again. This made the officers and soldiers of the Royal Navy stunned.
"My God! The Colossus and Neptune are hit."
"Damn it, isn't there more than one German U-boat in it?"
The battleship 'Giant' and the battleship 'Neptune' are both dreadnoughts, equipped with 305 mm main guns, and their armor is weaker than that of super dreadnoughts. The battleship 'Giant' ate two heavy torpedoes, and two large holes were blown out of the waterline armor, and it began to sink directly. Although the battleship "Neptune" was relatively lucky, it only ate one torpedo. However, its weak underwater armor still couldn't resist, and a big hole was torn open. Sea water is being poured into the hull of the battleship 'Neptune' frantically. Such an injury is already considered a serious injury.
John? General Jellicoe and David? Beatty Lieutenant General two, pale face. Originally, the Royal Navy was already at a disadvantage when facing the German Navy. Now, they have been attacked by German submarines in Scapa Flow, causing them heavy losses. In this case, the strength of the Royal Navy will be further weakened. When they face the German navy, their disadvantages will be even more obvious.
If it is said that the Royal Navy had a 20% chance of winning before, then now, they have almost no chance of winning.
It can almost be said that the Royal Navy is doomed to fail in future naval battles. Such a result is undoubtedly unacceptable to anyone. They lost the battle before it was fought. This made General John Jellicoe and Lieutenant General David Beatty very unwilling.
"Do our best to rescue the injured battleship! In addition, send more destroyers to search, and we must find the German submarine!" Admiral John Jellicoe said through gritted teeth.
Now he can only hope that those injured battleships are all slightly injured. If so, it won't be long before it can be repaired. If it is seriously injured, it will take more time. Obviously, the German Navy will never give them so much time.
Admiral John Jellicoe hated the German submarine that attacked them even more. If Lieutenant Colonel Doenitz and the others stood in front of him now, he would definitely kill them all without hesitation.
"Yes, General." Lieutenant General David Betty nodded. In his heart, he was also very negative. This time, the situation is undoubtedly worse! It has become more difficult for the Royal Navy to win future naval battles.
"Damn Germans, they are like mice, where are they hiding? Quickly, chase south. Depth charges are ready, blow those Germans out for me." The captain of a British destroyer ordered.
Soon, the depth charges are ready. These bucket-like depth charges were pushed into the sea by British naval soldiers.
"Boom! Boom!"
A dull explosion sound came from the bottom of the water, but what came up was nothing but a few dead fish.
The U-037 submarine of the German Navy, hiding underwater, trying to escape. Although their speed has increased to ten knots, compared to destroyers with a speed of more than thirty knots, their speed is still very slow.
"How long will it take us to escape Scapa Flow?" Lieutenant Colonel Doenitz asked.
"Sir, at the current speed, it will take at least another hour."
Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz couldn't help frowning tightly. For them, this hour is undoubtedly the most dangerous time.
The destroyers of the British Navy kept passing over their heads, so that they didn't even dare to raise their periscopes. Once discovered by the British Navy, it means certain death.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A dull explosion sounded, it was the depth charge of the British Navy exploding. The shock wave generated after the explosion shook the underwater submarine. The German submarine soldiers inside were all pale, for fear that the submarine would be hit.
"Crunch! Crunch!"
This is the sound made by the pressure hull of the submarine. The huge water pressure formed after the explosion of the depth charge is also a huge test for the hull of the submarine.
Fortunately, the performance of the latest U-200 submarine is very good, and it successfully withstood the huge water pressure, so that the submariners of the German Navy could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Next, the British Navy's pursuit of the U-037 submarine continued, but it was not successful. It was not until after dawn that the British Navy gave up the pursuit. Because they didn't know that the German submarine had successfully escaped.
Although the North Sea is not big, it is also very difficult to hunt down a submarine in the vast sea.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
