The sound, so familiar, immediately stunned Ralph.

Torpedo, this is definitely a torpedo!

It won't be the sound of the ship hitting the reef, nor the explosion of the weapons in the ship. It must be a torpedo.

What can launch a torpedo? That must be a submarine. German submarines have actually appeared in this sea area. German submarines have actually appeared in this freezing and surging Arctic Ocean!

It's really terrible!

Almost as soon as he made his judgment, he heard a series of explosions.

"Boom!" Another torpedo exploded. This torpedo just hit an escort aircraft carrier in front of Manila Bay. In the violent explosion, the bottom of the aircraft carrier broke, and a large amount of sea water poured in. The aircraft carrier sank rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

So soon, did more than one submarine come?

"Attention, there are submarines near us!" Ralph shouted. He looked at the sea in the distance. It must be a few nautical miles on his starboard side. There were terrible German submarines!

The worst thing is that our side has no escort ships at all!

In history, the American fleet was intercepted by the German submarine wolf pack tactics. For this, the United States built a large number of escort ships and finally crushed the German sea wolf pack.

But now it's different. The United States can't support Britain from the Atlantic because Britain has surrendered.

The United States intended to support the Soviet Union from Iceland, but unfortunately, the German surface fleet was too strong. When it could not compete head-on, the Americans had to cut off this route. The Soviets inspected ships at sea under the banner of European Union. Although the Americans were angry, they had no way.

Therefore, Americans can only go all the way to open up an Arctic route. The bad weather conditions here are enough to give them a headache. The route is along the coast of the Soviet Union, and it is barren land. They don't have to worry about the sneak attack of the Germans. At this time, they don't need escort ships at all.

Who would have thought that the German submarine came here!

It doesn't matter how the Germans appear. What matters is how to run away!

"Come on, push all the fighters into the sea. We have to speed up!" Ralph said.

Their decks are full of fighters, even if one weighs only five tons, there are hundreds of tons. Moreover, most importantly, the deck is full of fighters, so that their own carrier aircraft can't take off!

The planes on the deck are loaded with aircraft carriers after they come out of the manufacturing plant. There is no fuel, lubricating oil or weapons in the aircraft, which is useless at all.

The aircraft in the hangar below can be dispatched and loaded with bombs at any time after maintenance. As long as the aircraft in the hangar can take off, it can drive away the terrible submarine, even scare the other party away!

Push all the fighters on the deck into the sea. Mitchell was surprised when he heard this order. These fighters cost a lot. They gave aid to the Soviet Union in vain, which has hurt his own flesh. Should they be thrown away like this?

"Don't throw it now, waiting for us to be attacked?" Ralph's anxious words immediately made Mitchell understand that his situation was very critical.

"Boom!" Another escort carrier was destroyed!

Other merchant ships were in a hurry. Seeing that several ships on their side were hit, they were quite afraid.

After the ship was hit, the crew members could only jump into the cold sea. For them, their life had only a few minutes left. Even if they were rescued by other ships, they would have to suffer a serious illness, not to mention that now, no one came to save them. Every ship was thinking about how to leave this terrible sea area and escape the pursuit of submarines!

"Come on, throw away these planes!" On the deck, several crew members wore fur coats and hats and only showed their faces. In less than a minute, their faces were frozen hard and their noses were frozen.

In their hands, they were holding axes and urgently took up fire axes from below.

There is no time to untie those ropes. They can only cut it with a fire axe in this simple and rough way!

A sailor took up his axe and cut hard at the rope. With his cutting, the rope, which had been frozen hard, broke immediately.

He cut the rope a few times, and then cut the others. After a while, his body began to sweat, but his face was frozen with ice.

"Come on, come on, we don't have time." People kept shouting. They ran quickly on the deck, trying to cut off all the ropes.

"Ah..." suddenly came a scream.

A sailor ran to a nearby plane and wanted to cut the rope, but at this time, suddenly, a strong wind blew, his feet slipped, and he slipped into the sea!

On the edge of the wooden deck, due to the infiltration of sea water, it was frozen and quite smooth.

"Poop!" The sailor fell into the sea. In an instant, the cold sea water entered his body. He felt countless needles all over his body.

Only the old maozi who lives in cold areas all the year round dares to swim in the ice hole in winter. As for other people, after entering the sea water, his body is stiff and his consciousness is blurred in less than a minute. The most terrible thing is the thick cotton padded clothes he wears, which are soaked with sea water and will be quite heavy and pull people, Sink into the sea.

Several bubbles came out of his mouth, and his eyelids had lost consciousness. He looked at the outside world with his last eyes. There was incomparable nostalgia in his eyes.

No one went to pull him, and no one cared to pull him.

Finally, all the ropes were cut off.

"Attention, all ships, full left rudder!"

When sailing at full speed, the left full rudder is quite exciting. As the helmsman turns the steering gear, the huge ship body tilts in an instant.

The deck also tilted more than ten degrees, and the planes on the deck were thrown into the sea like big stones!

They seem unwilling to enter the cold ocean, but they all slide like dumplings. They seem to grasp something, but the surroundings are so smooth. They are like passengers who don't grasp their hands when the bus turns.

If the Soviets see it, they will be very distressed. After all, this is support for the Soviets. Now, for Americans, life is the most important thing.

"Lift, lift up the fighter immediately and get ready to take off!" Cried Ralph.

Race against time, before the Germans finish the next torpedo loading, eject their own shipborne aircraft, throw bombs and blow it up!
