Proximity fuzes will effectively increase the killing ability. Collision fuzes will explode only when they are in contact. Proximity fuzes can explode as long as they are close. In the air, they kill by shrapnel. In sea water, incompressible sea water is the main way to transmit the explosive force.

Vigilance was hit, its rear engine room emitted billowing black smoke, it had lost its power system, and at this time, it was still fighting.

At the bow, the Gunners were operating on the inclined and shaking deck on the gun position of the two single barrel 130mm b-132c naval guns in front.

"Boom!" At the muzzle, a smoke of gunpowder and a 130 mm shell flew out of the muzzle and fired at the position of the submarine in the distance.

The effective weapons against submarines are torpedoes and anti submarine deep bombs, while ordinary naval gun shells have little lethality to submarines.

With a sharp whistling, the 130mm shell went into the water. Miraculously, there was no bouncing. When the naval gun opened fire on the water, a considerable part of it would bouncing.

When it entered the water, the hot warhead was instantly cooled by the sea water, and a layer of bubbles appeared around it, just like putting a red soldering iron into the water, but soon, it was cooled.

The sea water blocked in front of it, and the resistance increased instantaneously. The rotating warhead did not bring it any advantage. The surrounding sea water was driven by it and increased its resistance. Therefore, after advancing more than ten meters in the sea water, it churned and rolled indiscriminately without any control.

It is doomed to be in vain to be tens of meters away from the submarine.

One after another, the advantage of 130 mm guns is that they have a fast firing speed and the shells fall into the water. They draw lines with bubbles under the water. Soon, this line has no regularity and slides indiscriminately under the water.

"Full speed, full rudder right."

"Full left rudder, stop."

"Attention, No. 2 launch tube, electric torpedo, fixed depth of 2m, release!" Moher continued.

Those flying shells, in his eyes, were just a struggle before death.

If you are hit, you can only say that you are unlucky. The other party just blindly launches into your own sea area, and there is no accuracy at all. If there is a threat, at least it must be the warship's gun with a caliber of more than 281, which launches high-explosive bombs. When entering the sea, it is equivalent to a terrible deep-water bomb, which may also cause some damage to yourself.

Now, just like tickling, my periscope is 15 meters deep. After the shell falls into the water, the distance of 15 meters is enough to attenuate its energy, not to mention the depth. If the shell is vertical, it is almost the same, and all shells are inclined, so the distance is farther.

Because the other party turned around, resulting in the loss of its own launch position, he had to move the submarine and circle the other party's side again. Now, the clear target appeared in his vision, which was so wonderful.

The second electric torpedo came out of the water. It quietly jumped at the target. This time it was a fixed target. The loss of power made it impossible for the vigilance to move at all. In the periscope, you can perfectly see that the target warship suddenly exploded more violently from the middle!

The fire spread from the bottom. The sailors on the vigilance were still working hard at the last minute. They put out the fire. They wanted to save the warship. At the same time, their guns were still shooting.

"Fire, kill that damn submarine!"

The Gunners were very angry. They watched the other side turn to their side, watched the other side reoccupy the launch position, and their turret rotated and kept staring at the other side, but in vain.

"Captain, our warship is sinking." Boris listened to Isakov's words and his eyes were angry: "we will never give up our mission. We will live or die together with the warship!"

His eyes looked at the sea behind him. At this time, all cargo ships were also firing fiercely.

If the crew were still Americans, they would have surrendered long ago. According to the unwritten practice before, the German submarine would allow them to put down their lifeboats and allow them to leave by ship. Then the German submarine would float up and kill these cargo ships with deck guns.

This is good for both sides. The crew will go back alive, and the submarine will reduce the consumption of torpedoes, but the winner is still the German submarine, because the cargo ship sank.

Now they have become Soviet sailors. For them, life is secondary, and the goods on board are the main. This is related to whether the Soviet can persist. They are defending the Soviet property.

So now, Soviet sailors will not give up fighting.

Generally speaking, cargo ships cannot be armed, but this is during the war. In order to protect themselves, the newly built free ship has been equipped with 4-inch deck guns (100 mm) at the stern to deal with floating submarines and various anti-aircraft guns to deal with possible dive bombers.

This has become an armed cargo ship.

Critis was very nervous.

There are not many people on the cargo ship. Everyone is versatile. When there is no battle, they are lookouts, and immediately become Gunners after the battle.

Critis had reached the position of the tail gun. At this time, the freighter he was in was also at full power. The black smoke column from the coal-fired boiler rushed into the sky. The three-stage steam engine was rumbling. The bearded captain had ordered the ship to fill the right rudder and accelerate to the direction of the Kamchatka Peninsula.

At the same time, after receiving the news, the anti submarine aircraft deployed on the Kamchatka Peninsula are also rushing here. It only takes more than ten minutes to get here and expel submarines.

No matter how brave the German submarines are, they can even surround and attack the escort ships, and there is nothing they can do about the aircraft. As long as the anti submarine aircraft arrives and throws deep-water bombs, they will be able to kill them, or at least expel these damn submarines.

They must hold on until the anti submarine aircraft arrives.

Critis had no confidence. He had a premonition of the end.

The Germans have too many submarines. What he sees is only a part. In this sea area, at least ten submarines are besieging them.

The targets of the submarine's first attack were those escorting ships. Originally, the escorting ships were only anti submarine, but now they have been beaten miserably, because there are too many submarines.

When the escort warships are killed, no one can escape these cargo ships!

Critis's eyes were fixed on the sea, and he was most afraid of the sudden bubbling torpedo. At the same time, the remaining light in the corner of his eyes also swept the sinking vigilance signal.

The sea had flooded the deck, but the Gunners were still firing, but no submarine was interested in it.

After killing the escort ship, it's a feast for the captains to eat the cargo ship!
