Chapter 997 Atlantic Safari
"No. 1, No. 2 launch tubes, three seconds apart, let go!" At this time, at a position more than ten meters below the sea surface, a large German XXI submarine had launched its own attack.
Otto Kreizmer, unshaven, originally, he had ended his cruising in the Atlantic and was about to return to Germany. As a result, after receiving the order, he immediately ordered a change of direction and came towards the South Atlantic. On, I was in ambush for two days, and finally, I waited for my prey!
The order is very clear, the target must be sunk! There can be no accidents. Therefore, Otto did not use electric torpedoes, but the latest thermal-powered oxygen torpedoes. This advanced weapon developed from island technology is quite valuable. It is only used when dealing with important targets. able to use it!
The biggest feature of the oxygen torpedo is its high speed. This latest type of torpedo can reach a high speed of fifty knots! Although the bubbles produced by the burning will reveal its trajectory, there is no ship to avoid, especially the slow cargo ship in front!
"Right full rudder!" After discovering the bubbles on the sea, Captain Danny gave the order loudly, as if operating a warship before.
Unfortunately, he is not a warship, but a slow cargo ship!
At the rear of the cargo ship, the rudder surface has been fully unfolded, but the huge hull is turning slowly, and the speed is not enough!
Danny watched helplessly as the bubbles on the sea came toward his cargo ship in an absolute straight line, and then hit the side of the cargo ship!
"boom!"
"boom!"
Two explosions sounded on the side of the hull. The warhead of this torpedo is quite large. It is designed according to the standard that one can kill a 10,000-ton warship and two dry-sinking aircraft carriers.
And now, two torpedoes to kill a cargo ship, that's like killing a chicken with a knife.
The explosion of the first torpedo, the water flow that set off on the bottom of the ship, impacted the bottom of the ship, and instantly collapsed the entire bottom of the ship. In the creaking sound, the hull broke from the middle and became two front and rear sections!
And the second torpedo hit the back part, blowing the back into two sections again!
The hull in front, like a slammer, got under the sea almost instantly, while the back was lifted first, and the people on the boat jumped out in a panic.
The ship is sinking!
Otto is in the periscope, looking at his target, there is no possibility of saving, this is simply a piece of cake!
"Found two warships, heading here." At this moment, the sonar operator reported to him.
Under normal circumstances, Otto should have ordered a retreat, but now, he looked at the struggling crew on the sea, his face still grim: "Dive to fifty meters, turn off the engine, and keep silent."
The Aron Ward is an old ship from the First World War, with a displacement of only more than 1,000 tons. Over the years, it has become a bit old-fashioned.
Its main engine is accelerating, and black smoke is constantly coming out of the boiler, but the ship is still sailing slowly, and it is hardly suitable for this kind of escort mission.
On the other side of it, the Bagley, which was commissioned in 37 years, is much faster. This warship has a displacement of more than 2,000 tons. At the same time, the main engine is powerful. During the trial voyage, it ran out of 40 knots. Come with great speed.
Now, it immediately picked up speed, smoked black smoke, drove past the Allen Ward, and hurried towards the Kobe.
While starting, Captain Chloe was cursing, those high-ranking officials of the navy are simply shit!
Ask yourself to protect the cargo ship and keep a certain distance away. If something really happens, how can you catch up! Those people must have never piloted a warship before and thought it was as easy as riding a motorcycle? Just step on the gas pedal?
"Kobe, Kobe, please answer, please answer!" As they accelerated, the radio was calling, but there was nothing in the radio.
what happened? Has there been an accident?
Standing on the bridge, Chloe used his telescope to look at the sea in the distance, almost where the sea and the sky meet, and he finally found the target.
Kobe is gone! Did this most important freighter sink in an instant?
"Loading anti-submarine depth bombs, set the depth to fifty." Chloe shouted loudly.
Kobe Bryant encountered each other's submarines, and now, are those submarines still there? This made Chloe maintain a high level of vigilance. The German submariners have a first-class combat level. If they are not careful, they will be attacked by the Germans.
"The speed is too high and the noise is too loud to hear clearly." At this time, the sonar soldier on the other side of the bridge reported to Chloe.
Up to now, sonar is still a simple underwater listening device, and the ship will make noise when sailing, which hinders the operation of sonar, especially now, the Bagley has sprinted to forty knots in order to get to the scene quickly. high speed, the noise in this situation will overwhelm everything.
Chloe wanted to order to slow down, but then, he saw the laser swimming ring floating on the sea.
That's the crew diving!
In the sea, even if there is a swimming ring, it will not last long! A wave came over, a human head was still struggling, and there was no more!
Moreover, there are a few, who did not get the swimming ring, fluttering in the sea.
When looking at this through the telescope, Chloe finally made a serious mistake.
Save people first!
As the US military, with taxpayer money, it is to serve taxpayers.
Those who were swimming on the sea saw the warships here, and they were also swimming towards the warships!
"Slow down!" Soon after, Chloe gave the order.
The black smoke disappeared, the engines in the tail stopped working, and the speed of the warship was reduced.
Sailors are on deck, ready, ropes set aside, and when the overboard crews come, throw the ropes at them and pull up!
As the speed decreased, the sonarman could also hear the sound of the ocean, listening carefully to everything around him.
Time, little by little, the warship almost stopped sailing, floating on the sea, an exhausted crew member was pulled up from the sea, and he was wet.
"It's terrifying! It's terrifying!" he shouted loudly: "Our ship was blown into two pieces!"
At this moment, suddenly, the sonar operator frowned, and then he sounded the alarm: "Electric torpedoes, two, are shooting at us!"
