Dazzled, he must have been dazzled. At this time, critis felt a panic inexplicably.

He couldn't give an alarm and let his side work in vain as he did yesterday. He felt that he must have read wrong and had an illusion.

So he shifted an angle again and observed the sea again. When he adjusted it clearly, the scene on the sea was exactly the same.

"Oh, shit, I still can't work. There's something wrong with my eyes." He roared helplessly, and almost just after he roared, suddenly, a sharp alarm sounded on the sea.

"Submarine, find the German submarine!"

On other cargo ships, watchmen also found anomalies on the sea. Unfortunately, it was too late.

It is very difficult to find the periscope on the sea by his eyes. Critis can find several because of his good luck and too many submarines nearby.

A full eight submarines have arrived here, and now they are in an attack formation on the starboard side of the fleet.

U-124 submarine.

Last night, they arrived at the scheduled sea area and found the sailing fleet, but Mohr did not order the attack.

The effect of attacking the fleet at night is not good. In fact, it is similar to other tank wars. When direct torpedoes are widely equipped, it completely depends on the captain's experience to obtain the results, estimate the speed of both sides, estimate the direction of the other side, and so on. In the dark, close observation is risky, and it's impossible to get far away.

Therefore, they can only wait until the day. Now, the u-124 enters its own attack position just after dawn. Its target is the first destroyer.

Yes, as long as the escort warships are eliminated first, they will be easier to start with those merchant ships. When there are more and more submarines under the water, they are no longer afraid of surface ships.

After all, they have the advantage of quantity. At the same time, the anti submarine ability of those surface ships is not high. They have no advanced sonar, only deep bombs and torpedoes. They are not afraid.

The first wave, destroy them!

"Launch tube 1, g7u torpedo, fixed depth of two meters, maximum speed." Cried moher.

This is the first time he has launched the most advanced hydrogen peroxide torpedo since he was a captain. This valuable torpedo has always been used against the most important targets.

Be sure to hit!

"Let go!" With his order, there was a sound of water in the submarine. With the help of high-pressure air, the torpedo left the torpedo launch tube and, like an arrow in the string, quickly flew to the speed of 46 knots and headed for the enemy warship one nautical mile away.

Just then, the Soviet alarm had just sounded.

Vigilance.

"We found a thermal torpedo coming from our port side!"

Thermal power torpedoes have to exhaust gas, which will form a series of terrible bubbles on the water surface, which is why they are easy to see. In contrast, electric torpedoes are pursued silently.

"Three ahead, full left rudder!" Cried Boris.

As the captain and the leader of the escort formation, Boris has a great responsibility. He only sleeps for a few hours every day and appears on the bridge just after dawn.

When he heard the alarm, he thought it was a false alarm as yesterday. As a result, the torpedo came directly!

Without thinking about it, he immediately ordered the left full rudder.

As an old maozi, we must have the courage to rush up and fight for bayonets.

If the torpedo comes from the left, he will rush to the left. On the one hand, the left full rudder can reduce the bullet area, so as to avoid being attacked, and can also quickly kill the target.

"Prepare to drop the deep bomb!" Holding the handle on one side and bearing the inertia of the left full rudder, he gave orders again.

Rush up and blow you up!

The main defense against direct torpedo is to find it in advance. As long as the torpedo launched by the other party can be found in advance, it is easy to avoid it. After all, the torpedo has a fixed trajectory like the bow and arrow.

However, if the torpedo is very fast, it is different. It will make the other party have no reaction time at all, such as now.

With a body of more than 2000 tons, vigilance has no difficulty in steering. At the same time, its engine power is quite large. When it is steering, its speed hardly decreases.

At this time, the lookout post was watching the bubbles on the sea nervously while holding the handrail tightly and keeping his body.

The speed of bubbles is too fast! It's almost instantaneous.

They can see that the bubble forms a line and flies towards their own side. When their own side turns, the line has pointed straight behind their own side.

If you didn't turn around, you were just cut off by the waist. Now, should you hide?

"Boom!" There was a loud noise underwater.

A column of water several meters high came out from under the water.

With the explosion, the body behind the destroyer seemed to be lifted from under the water. Everyone turned pale at this moment. It seemed that the destroyer would break at the next moment.

Proximity fuse, not impact fuse!

Ordinary torpedoes are impact fuzes. They will explode only after impact. However, some of them use proximity fuzes, which is simpler than the proximity fuze of shells. They can achieve the target by using magnetic detection.

This hydrogen peroxide torpedo is too valuable. In order to improve its hit rate, German technicians first used a composite fuse of collision and proximity on it.

It can be triggered within five meters( I haven't found much information. The proximity fuse of torpedo is not a high technology. It has been used since World War II. If you know much, please solve your doubts in the book review area.)

Now, although the rapidly turning vigilance signal avoided this terrible torpedo, it exploded because of the role of the proximity fuse. The lifted sea water violently impacted the hull and made a terrible squeaking sound. It seems that the hull will break at the next moment!

When the ship was balanced again, everyone was lucky for the rest of his life. Boris was still very firm and wanted to continue the pursuit, but he found that the mechanical sound in the engine room had disappeared.

"Engine room, pipe damage report." Cried Boris.

"The engine room is flooded, the engine room is flooded, and the boiler is flooded." The voice inside was anxious.

The God of luck did not care for them again. A few seconds later, there was a loud bang from the tail of the ship. The steam pressure in the boiler was too high and exploded!

Vigilance will lose all power. They can't sail any more.

"Naval gun, fire on me, fire at the sea." Boris continued to shout that the battle would not stop as long as it did not sink.
