The other side has left his shooting position. If shepke continues to maneuver now, he may continue to successfully seize the position. However, just four torpedoes have missed, and he has no hope.

Because he has other trumps in his hand.

With shepke's command, the propeller at the tail rotates at high speed again. Just waiting for the fighter here, the Stirling engine is still working at rated power, and the excess power is stored in the battery.

Now, the battery and stirling engine once again provide surging power for the submarine. As soon as it is said to move forward at full speed, the propeller at the tail immediately rotates at high speed, stirring the sea water, and the boat body begins to accelerate.

The soldiers in the torpedo cabin in front began to reload torpedoes in the accelerated submarine. This T4 torpedo uses electric propulsion, but there is no need to set various parameters such as fixed depth, just turn on the switch and activate the seeker.

Compared with other torpedoes, it has more sophisticated electronic equipment. At the same time, its torpedo head is made of a special material, which can pass through sound!

At this time, the Paris Commune in front of it was still sailing normally. It didn't realize that relying on the ocean current, it had escaped the attack of four torpedoes, and almost every torpedo could send it to the bottom of the sea.

The propeller at the tail rotates and stirs the sea, making a loud noise.

Launch!

As the torpedo detonator was opened again, the high-pressure air ejected the two torpedoes. The propeller at the tail of the torpedo began to rotate and superimposed the submarine's own speed to make it reach the speed of 30 knots. At this time, it was at least 2000 meters away from the target. Its head was facing the other side's propeller. The noise there was clearly transmitted to its head.

In the deflector at the head, a precise rubber film receiving device converts the sound into an electrical signal and transmits it to the control circuit immediately behind. The circuit controls the steering gear at the tail to turn and go in the direction with the greatest noise!

"The propeller stopped and remained silent." Shepke continued to give orders. This was the first actual battle of this kind of torpedo. He didn't know whether he could hit it, but he knew that this kind of torpedo was quite terrible.

In the past, torpedoes were direct torpedoes. In fact, it was no different from snipers hitting the enemy. It was only a well-designed encounter. Now, this kind of torpedo is different, because it can sail independently!

Similar to missiles, they can adjust their position at any time in motion, so as to hit the target more accurately. However, German missiles are still manually controlled, similar to aircraft models, and this torpedo is different. It is completely self guided.

This is the latest acoustic guided torpedo developed by German technicians for several years!

In history, Germany developed it in 43 years. In almost the same period, the United States also had similar torpedo projects. Now, with the continuous maturity of German electronic technology, especially the advantage of circuit miniaturization brought by transistors, this mature torpedo finally appeared.

However, this is also dangerous. If it does not find the target, according to the design, it will enter the autonomous search stage, and may turn around to attack the submarine that launched it.

Therefore, after launching the torpedo, the current U-100 immediately stopped moving to prevent being hit by mistake.

The torpedo is constantly receiving the noise signal in front. It is firmly locked on the target warship, getting closer and closer.

When it is still a few meters away from the target, it suddenly goes downstream and drills directly below the other party. This is the preset way. Contact explosion is better than close to the bottom explosion, and the impact of seawater is more powerful.

The electric signal then triggers the electric detonator.

"Boom!"

A huge explosion suddenly appeared, and the whole ship echoed such a sound, stimulating everyone's eardrums. At this time, the whole people on the Paris Commune did not realize that they had been attacked.

"No, there's something wrong with our boiler." At the moment of the explosion, Nikolay said loudly, "come on, damage the pipe. How's our boiler?"

Because there was a problem with the boiler when they set sail, they had been repairing it during the voyage. Just at that time, they tried to re ignite their boiler, but the explosion happened.

What a coincidence.

"Boom!" The second explosion came. With the explosion, the hull began to tilt slowly.

Nikolay didn't feel good until the second explosion. The sound didn't seem to come from the boiler behind, but from the bottom of the ship!

"The boiler room is reported to be safe and sound without damage."

It's not a boiler room. What's that? Naval gun shells? Torpedoes? Hit a mine or attacked?

"Report, there is a big hole at the bottom of the rear hull, and the water is entering rapidly!"

Hull bottom? Nikolay frowned. He had a premonition of bad.

It's OK for our battleship to carry several large-diameter naval gun shells, but we are absolutely afraid of damage from the bottom of the ship.

"Come on, save our warship!" Nikolay shouted, "report to the fleet, we have been attacked!"

Just after he said this, suddenly, the whole ship went dark.

The water inflow is too fast, the water has flooded into the engine room, and the generator has stopped power supply!

Two torpedoes, each with a 400 kg warhead charge, exploded at the bottom of the ship, opening a big hole in the bottom of the Paris Commune, and the sea water is pouring in.

At this moment, the Soviet sailors showed great courage, took a deep breath and dived into the bottom of the ship, but when they saw the size of the hole, they knew it was irreparable.

"Wow..." spit out a mouthful of sea water. The sailor drilled out and shouted to the people above: "no, it's too big. We can't stop it!"

The stern of the more than 20000 ton battleship quickly flooded, making the bow gradually cocked up. In the moonlight, the battleship is experiencing the last scene of its life.

"Great!" At this time, in the U-100 submarine, shepke quickly pressed the shutter and took this picture from the periscope. As evidence of his victory, he achieved the sinking of his first battleship!

"Shall we have another shot?" The vice captain asked him.

"No, we sail forward. The subsequent warships of the Soviets will arrive soon. We continue to ambush them on their route! Before dawn, we will achieve new results. " Shepke said, "right rudder three, full speed."

On the sea, the huge body of the battleship Paris Commune gradually tilted. Although it tried its best to rescue, the battleship still slid into the abyss step by step.

The most frustrating thing for them is that they didn't see their opponents until they completely sank, and even they didn't know how they sank.

On the bridge, the hand-operated generator transmitted electric current to the radio station. A radio wave was finally transmitted back before the Paris Commune sank.
