The main way to deal with submarines is to find them in advance.

Submarines need to attack from the side to be effective. Therefore, as long as they find the other party and turn 90 degrees, they can make the other party's submarines circle in a big circle. When the other party reoccupies the launch position, they will turn again.

This premise is to know where the submarine is. In later generations, there are advanced sonar equipment. In this era, it depends on people's intuition.

Critis's intuition saved the cargo ship again, turned twice and avoided two torpedoes, which was enough for moher to beat his chest and feet, but their good luck was stopped.

"Hide." In the position of the tail gun, critis did not fire. His eyes were so sharp that he saw the trajectory of the torpedo passing downstream.

The motion of electric torpedo is very small, but its navigation still depends on the propeller. When the propeller stirs the sea water, it will always bring some changes.

Hide!

If he had not turned, he would have been hit by the torpedo. Critis felt his back was wet, and when he turned his eyes to the nearby sea, he raised every hair again.

"Damn it, our port side, and the submarine, Captain, come on, left full rudder, oh, no, right full rudder, oh, no, accelerate!"

He doesn't know what to do anymore.

If it's a warship, you can rush up to the submarine with a full rudder on the left, but they're cargo ships. Why rush up? How to fight bayonets with others?

If you can't fill the left rudder, then fill the right rudder? This will not work. If the right rudder is full, it will be given a good chance to launch torpedoes by the submarine just now. Therefore, he hesitated twice and finally said to accelerate.

This is useless, because just after the cargo ship turned, it was originally accelerating. Now accelerating does not change the navigation state at all, nor can deceleration. There is no brake on the slow cargo ship. Deceleration is just the reverse of the propeller. In this emergency, reversing the propeller can not save them.

"Boom!" An electric torpedo easily made intimate contact with its side, and then a huge explosion tore open the watertight compartment below, and the sea poured in.

German torpedoes can kill 10000 ton warships with only one. Although merchant ships are also 10000 ton, the construction standard of merchant ships is low and they are not resistant to attack at all.

As the sea surged in, everyone knew that the ship was about to sink.

They quickly threw down the lifebuoy and jumped into the sea.

So did critis. As he struggled to catch the swimming circle, critis gasped and looked at everything around him.

Cargo ships are being besieged and beaten. Under the attack of German submarines, they have no room to fight back.

This is simply a unilateral massacre. When the escort ships are killed, the remaining cargo ships will only be slaughtered.

As the first u-107 submarine to discover the fleet, it naturally does its duty.

"Launch!" Hessler shouted. The torpedo came out of the water and headed for the cargo ship speeding away. Then there was a violent explosion at the bottom of the cargo ship and stopped.

The crew kept jumping from above, and the scene was in chaos. Unfortunately, their luck was very bad.

"Boom!" A few seconds later, the cargo ship suddenly had a more terrible explosion. In the explosion, the whole cargo ship was suddenly blown apart from the middle and turned into pieces.

"Come on, lower the Periscope!" Cried Hessler. As soon as his periscope came down, fragments flew over the sea, and the water trembled violently.

What is this freighter carrying? This explosion is too exciting, isn't it?

Centered on the exploding cargo ship, the sea radiated outward in a wavy ring, spreading in circles. The waves were five or six meters high!

Unfortunately, two nearby cargo ships were caught and hit by flying debris. Then, with the shaking of the waves, they lifted the hull.

This is a magazine level explosion!

In the submarine under the water, the submarine soldiers also covered their ears. The sound was terrible.

When the explosion subsided, Hessler raised his periscope again, rolled up his sleeves and continued to work, murderously looking for the next target. They were all their prey on the sea.

Kamchatka Peninsula.

This is a long strip-shaped Peninsula, located in the Soviet Far East. It is adjacent to the Okhotsk Sea in the West and the Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea in the East. It is the second largest peninsula in the Soviet Union.

The earth's crust is unstable, volcanoes are active, earthquakes are frequent, and there are many hot springs and geysers. There are more than 160 volcanoes.

The climate is cold in winter and cool in summer. There are modern glaciers in the mountains. The central and southern part of the peninsula is a forest area, which is widely distributed with conifers, birches and poplars dominated by larch; In the north are forest tundra and tundra. Forests account for 40% of the peninsula. There are all kinds of minerals.

Therefore, it is not suitable for human habitation at all. It has always been sparsely populated and most areas are undeveloped.

At present, in the south of the peninsula, Petropavlovsk is the largest city here, the capital is located, and the population is only tens of thousands. It usually focuses on fishing and fish processing. In the suburbs, the naval aviation force of the Far East military region is newly built.

After receiving the news, they were extremely nervous. One by one, SB-2 bombers, carrying anti submarine deep bombs, hurried away from the runway of the airport.

"Our cargo ship is being attacked by German submarines. We must rescue them." On the long plane of the bomber, major Evgeni said, his heart very anxious.

Although in the Far East, they also remember the battle on the western front. The situation is quite unfavorable to the Soviet. I'm afraid the Soviet could not hold on without American blood transfusion.

Geographically, the United States and the Soviet Union are only separated by the Bering Strait. It seems that it is OK to take land. It is OK to take a boat ferry in the Bering Strait, but in fact, it is impossible.

Because the vast far east of the Soviet Union is uninhabited, and there is no railway. It is cold and dense, and there is no road at all. Sea transportation is the lowest cost and most efficient mode of transportation.

They are charged with the task of protecting sea passages.

The SB-2 bombers flew quickly to the southern coast, but when they arrived, there was only a mess on the sea.

The whole fleet, bitten by the German wolves, was in ruins, leaving no complete cargo ship. On the sea, heads floated one by one, as if telling something.

Why didn't you come earlier? The Germans have run away. Damn it, I'm afraid there are 20 German submarines.
