Five Hundred and Sixty-Three I Won

"The first depth charge! Drop it!" With a roar, the Soviet destroyer dropped the first depth charge that attacked a submarine today. After an hour of fighting, the Soviet destroyer felt for the first time that he was sure to sink his opponent, so he launched a fierce attack.

Just an hour earlier, the destroyer had turned with Prien's submarine and followed a course for another 2 minutes, only to suddenly lose track of the submarine. After a little calculation, the bearded captain guessed Prien's move - slow down slowly.

In fact, the speed of the opponent's submarine is decreasing after adjusting the course, and at this time the destroyer's sonar is deployed in front of the hull, that is to say, the rear of the destroyer is actually a sonar blind spot.

Using this principle, the German submarine cleverly hid in the sonar blind spot of the Soviet destroyer. This is also a trick learned from the British Navy. If the submarine warfare in the UK taught the British how to anti-submarine warfare, then as many British captains learned anti-submarine warfare, as many German submarine captains became masters of escape from the tiger's mouth ability. You come and go is the essence of war. No one stipulates that only one side can grow in war.

However, relying on the higher speed of the destroyer, the destroyer still regained the initiative. After half an hour around, just when Prien thought he had got rid of the entanglement of the Soviet destroyer, the bearded man once again brought his strong obsession with revenge. Killed and returned to the battlefield.

Prien was really tormented mad by this lingering guy. The last time he had this kind of experience was after the surprise attack on Scapa Flow, the British Navy's overwhelming search. But it was a terrifying process of being intercepted by dozens of ships. It was the first time in Prien's life that he was chased and killed by a destroyer.

So a new round of hunting kicked off again, and this time the process was much more thrilling and exciting than the last one, because when Beard brought his destroyer to find Prien again, his route was under control. Not that great.

Captain Prien on the submarine came up and gave Big Beard a very important gift: he fired two torpedoes from the torpedo tube at the tail, which directly disrupted Big Beard's pursuit. The destroyer was forced to dodge the oncoming torpedoes, again losing her target. This also proves Prien's mood from another aspect. Under normal circumstances, submarine commanders are unwilling to use precious torpedoes to get rid of opponents' anti-submarine attacks.

The poor Soviet destroyer had to predict the location of the submarine again, and once again grabbed Prien's tail. But this time Prien played zigzag sailing again, because Prien's submarine had risen to the depth of the periscope during the period, and the diesel engine was ignited to fully charge the battery. So this time Prien played a game of hide-and-seek with the bearded destroyer more boldly. The submarine picked a relatively safe sea area and descended to a depth of 70 meters. This depth is already very difficult for destroyers to detect and attack. Moreover, as the depth increases, the positioning of the submarine becomes more difficult.

But after an hour of wrangling,

The bearded captain didn't want to entangle any longer, he gave the order to attack, and the first depth charge was finally thrown into the water by the bomb launcher.

"The opponent is attacking! Depth charge! One!" The sonar soldier heard the abnormal sound of something entering the water, so he quickly reported the news he got: This sound is all too familiar, because this destroyer was built in the UK and is of the same model. The German submarine force escorting the destroyer almost all encountered it several times.

"Full right rudder, avoid this bomb! After the explosion, send the prepared gift to the Soviets, then shut down all systems, and wait for them to leave!" Prien decided to take out the killer weapon he had prepared for an hour. He asked the soldiers to remove a bunch of useless boards, life jackets and other equipment from the submarine, and then put them into the torpedo tubes.

What he has to do now is to cooperate with the explosion of the opponent's depth charges, launch these junks, and then let these things surface to the surface, creating the illusion that the submarine was hit and sunk. This trick can be said to be an acting skill at the level of an Oscar winner. Under normal circumstances, you can deceive your opponent and escape from Ascension—of course, this trick is also a last resort. No one will easily use such an extreme method of cheating to kill Deceive your opponent.

On the surface of the water, the bearded captain was also waiting. He found the flaw of the German submarine captain a few minutes ago.

"This German opponent is really cunning. If it weren't for our good luck, there is probably no way to sink this German submarine." The bearded captain stood on the bridge and said with emotion: "His only flaw is that he likes Full left rudder on the first turn maneuver! Subconscious habit, you're doomed today."

He was full of confidence in sinking his opponent, because he just discovered Prien's habit by accident when he saw the incoherent and somewhat messy marking points on the chart. For this reason, he deliberately confirmed it once, and found that his opponent did have such a small habit.

The dropped depth charges exploded in the pitch-black ocean, setting off a huge air bubble. This air bubble expanded violently in the seawater, and because of the explosion, the violent expansion violated the laws of nature. However, after only a moment, the surrounding sea water squeezed back due to the huge pressure, forming a huge tearing force that oscillated back and forth. If there is a submarine within the range of this explosion, even if it is only scratched a little bit, it will be broken and shattered by this huge tearing force, and it will become an underwater steel coffin.

"Launch!" Prien raised the corners of his mouth upwards slowly, feeling a little bit of pride in his heart—the flaw he intentionally exposed was finally discovered by the opponent, and with this attack, a huge explosion was produced. The shock of the opponent will greatly limit the sonar work of the opponent, and this is also the best time for him to escape from hunting.

Life jackets, boards, and other items were all pushed into the sea water by the high-pressure air, and because of the buoyancy, these items and some air bubbles began to float upward at a high speed. If the opponent sees these things, they will mistakenly think that the submarine has been sunk, and then take the initiative to leave. In order to increase the realism of the effect, a large barrel full of oil is also included in the pile of debris. This iron pass will not surface, but it will leak diesel to make the wreck scene look more realistic-an Oscar winner-level fake death, But it is by no means in vain.

So, the quiet waiting began, and everyone in the submarine waited motionless, waiting for the good news from the sonar soldiers. Time passed by every minute and every second, and no one knew whether the news of the enemy's departure would come from above their heads in the next second, or another deadly depth charge would drop.

The bearded captain stood on the deck at this time, looking at the damaged life jackets with obvious friction marks, as well as broken wood chips and boards. There are not many things that can surface on the submarine. The most direct evidence is of course the corpse, but in this case, the corpse often does not surface immediately, and there may be cases where there is no corpse.

"Wait and see!" The bearded man frowned and gave the order. The destroyer was cruising back and forth in the nearby waters, but refused to leave. It seems to be waiting for the German submarine to be impatient to show its feet, and it seems to be waiting for the evidence that can prove that it has sunk the opponent to surface.

The inside of the submarine was filled with the chaotic smell of French strong-scented perfume mixed with diesel oil. The submarine officers and soldiers who were used to the smell did not notice it. They just looked at their heads, waiting for their battleship to start again. That time when the engine sings.

On the deck of the destroyer, the sailors' skirts were blown by the cold sea breeze. They were also waiting, staring at the sea for fear that they might miss something important, expecting more direct evidence to appear there.

Seeing the oil stains getting bigger and bigger on the sea surface, the bearded captain also felt that the current situation was definitely because the opponent's submarine had been sunk by him. "I won! I sank them!" After he sighed, he ordered to return, so the destroyer circled around and began to head towards the route it came from. The speed was not fast, but it was not too slow.

"The speed is about 20 knots, and it is going away." The sonar soldier whispered what he heard to Prien. Prien nodded, ignoring the deep cheers behind him, and gave another order to the non-commissioned officer controlling the submarine's power: "Turn on the power plant, move forward at full speed, and turn the rudder to the left! Steady course!"

The submarine's battery started to work again, the engine motor made a rotating noise again, and the internal power began to recover. In addition to the emergency lights, part of the lighting was also turned on by the crew. It is no longer so dark here, as if everything has returned to the world from hell.

"Still left full rudder?" The helmsman looked at Prien and asked suspiciously. Just now, in order to deliberately sell this loophole, he performed the full-left operation several times. This time, he got rid of the enemy, so what is there to do with the full-left rudder?

Prien patted him on the shoulder and explained solemnly: "This opponent is not very easy to deal with. I don't know how long this method of cheating death can deceive him, so this time we have to be ready to fight at any time. A little carelessness!"

After finishing speaking, he clenched his fists confidently: Commander of the destroyer, I admit that you are really strong, but this time, no matter what, I escaped and ascended to heaven! Unfortunately, I won!
