With luck, a torpedo can destroy a cargo ship, but now, it's obviously an accident. The other party's reaction is too fast.

Generally speaking, when the cargo ship was attacked, the crew was absolutely panicked and abandoned the ship, but now, the other party can quickly damage the pipe and let the ship continue to float, indicating that the people above are not ordinary sailors!

This aroused major prien's interest. He must dry sink the cargo ship!

What's next? Continue to launch the second torpedo?

Of course not!

A T2 electric torpedo costs 25000 imperial marks, which is of course very expensive. You know, a BF109 is only 43000 imperial marks. Two torpedoes, you can build a plane.

Aircraft can be used continuously, but torpedoes are disposable. Using torpedoes for cargo ships is actually quite extravagant.

Just now, one has been used. Now, we can't waste the second one!

In addition to being valuable, the number of torpedoes carried is also limited. We must give full play to the power of these torpedoes!

So now, major prien won't waste any more.

"Drain the water tank and float up." Major prien shouted, "gunner ready."

Go up!

When a submarine is in the water, it is the result of the balance between gravity and buoyancy. If you fill the ballast tank with water and the gravity increases, it will sink. Now, if you want to surface, you need to use compressed air to discharge the seawater in the ballast tank.

With his order, the submarine soldiers opened the pipe. When the high-pressure air passed through the pipe, the whole pipe rang a buzzing sound, and then the submarine gradually emerged from under the sea.

Just as the Dragon came out of the water, the surface of the submarine kept flowing down. When the whole water tank was empty, the top of the submarine was completely exposed.

Youde, the submarine soldier, was the first to open the top hatch. In an instant, a cool sea breeze blew over. He took a deep breath. This feeling is great!

Even if the submarine has a vent pipe, the internal air of the submarine is still quite dirty. The smell of diesel oil almost never dissipates.

When the submarine has the opportunity to float, it is the greatest pleasure to come out and breathe.

It's just that Yod didn't come up to breathe. He has a more important task.

At this time, the submarine was shaking irregularly. In the shaking, the submarine soldier Youde ran towards the front of the deck.

There, there is an 88 mm naval gun.

Different from the sleek and streamlined submarines of later generations, the submarines of this era are still very primitive. From the appearance, they are more like a surface ship.

At the same time, its weapons, in addition to torpedoes, also have deck guns!

At the beginning of World War II, German submarines were not attacked by powerful allied anti submarine forces in the Atlantic, and most of them were single boat hunting.

Therefore, when German submarines met a single cargo ship of the allies, in order to save valuable torpedoes, they often floated to the surface and attacked the cargo ship with 88mm deck guns.

Even in the war, a German xxxc large submarine relied on a 105mm deck gun and launched an artillery battle on the sea with a US escort destroyer in the stormy night!

At that time, submarines sailed on the water most of the time, and deck guns were necessary.

At the same time, compared with the guns on other warships, the biggest difference of this kind of deck gun is anti rust treatment.

Seawater is salty. If there are no protective measures, it will rust soon.

The coating of gun bore and special paint can prevent rust, and the submarine needs to be repaired every time it returns, such as derusting the deck gun, replacing parts, etc.

At the same time, a cover is added to the front muzzle to cover the muzzle so that there will be no water in the muzzle.

Like now.

Youde, who hurried up, quickly took apart the cover of the deck gun, which was the first task.

In the history of the Atlantic submarine war, it is very common for submarines to go up and down. In a panic, there will be a blasting accident caused by the boat firing in a hurry and too late to take off the gun mask.

This first task is very important.

Behind him, two crew members ran together.

The middle crew will open the main lock cabinet under the control cabin. The shells are stored inside. This is a small watertight ammunition lock cabinet.

After unpacking, he quickly moved the shell out and handed it to the person next to him. The man moved the shell and could just plug it into the barrel.

"Loading completed!" He shouted.

Youde had now run back to the back of the gun position. He quickly shook the gun barrel of the high-low aircraft and 88 mm naval gun and turned it.

"Three hundred, straight ahead, put it!"

"Boom!" In the loud explosion, 88 mm shells flew to the cargo ship Navasota opposite.

Bruce stood in the bow, watching the submarine float out of the sea, watching the other party's crew come out and fire. At this time, he could do nothing but look.

This is a cargo ship.

Although there are weapons in the cargo ship's warehouse, these weapons are all in the warehouse. In a short time, they can't take them out of the warehouse.

Take out a few rifles at most. Is it useful? In this case, it must be a naval gun duel to be useful!

"God, what are they doing? We are civilian ships! " In the cockpit, the bearded captain, looking at the gunfire on the sea in the distance, could not help but curse loudly.

If the other party just launches torpedoes underwater, it can be denied afterwards. After all, no one has seen them. However, now they actually float out and use ship guns, which is lawless. Do they still pay attention to the Geneva Convention?

"Boom!" This shot accurately hit the middle of the cargo ship and burst a big hole in the side of the ship's side.

No one can save the freighter any more. After all, it's just a freighter. This shot let the sea water gurgle in! The capsizing of the ship is in sight.

"Boom!" The second gun!

Compared with valuable torpedoes, shells are much cheaper. Moreover, since they have been fired, of course, they can't end all at once!

The speed of manual loading is not slow. The second shell flew again after more than ten seconds!

"Boom!" The second shell landed next to the first shell. The second explosion directly tore the 10000 ton cargo ship into two halves!

The cargo ship Navasota broke from the middle, and the front and rear halves were frantically pouring into the sea. The ship was completely hopeless!
