Chapter 998

Oxygen is very expensive and tired, and its biggest feature is its fast speed.

In the torpedo attack, fast speed is of great significance, because in this era, the technology is still quite backward. It can still be far away, and most of the torpedoes are self-propelled.

The target is demarcated before the launch. It is completely according to the personal judgment of the submarine captain, according to the opponent's course and speed, and the launch must be advanced. In short, it is no different from launching a bullet.

If it is discovered by the target, the target will maneuver, for example, by immediately slowing down, it may allow the torpedo to swim in front of it, accelerate, and let the torpedo fall behind it, etc.

Therefore, the torpedo attacks in this era are all attacked from the side of the opponent's ship's side and the side of the channel.

In this way, the faster the torpedo travels, the less time is left for the opponent to react.

To deal with important targets, using oxygen torpedoes can reach a high speed of 50 knots, and to deal with ordinary targets, electric torpedoes are enough.

Especially now, in order to rescue the crew members who fell into the water, the target actually gave up his martial arts and stopped!

All kinds of maneuvers of a ship require speed. It can be said that only with speed can everything be achieved. In a static situation, if it wants to turn, it can only be done with the help of the tugboat.

And now, when he heard the two torpedo alarms, Captain Chloe realized that he had made a serious mistake. In the presence of enemy submarines, he did not search for the enemy submarine first, but instead Rescue the drowning people first!

This mistake is unforgivable, now is a state of war, and in a state of war, fighting the enemy is the primary goal!

When the sonar operator raised the alarm, Chloe had regretted it. At this time, he wanted to do his best to save his warship: "Abandon the rescue, speed up immediately, and move forward three!"

accelerate! The steam pressure in the boiler was still full. When the marines followed the orders, the steam turbine immediately started to rotate, driving the propeller at the rear, and it turned rapidly.

However, the propeller is easy to turn, and the speed of the boat is not so fast, it takes time!

"No!" On the sea, a drowning crew member who was struggling to swim towards the warship shouted loudly. The warship was rushing straight towards him, the bow of the ship split into waves, and it could split him into pieces at any time. two halves!

He was exhausted, watching the outline of the warship getting closer, he gave up his efforts, maybe, this is his destiny.

"Boom!" Just when he had closed his eyes, there was a huge explosion in front of him, and the warship suddenly shook, followed, and stopped.

The waves on the bow disappeared, and the warship began to slowly tilt to one side. At the last moment, the captain was still trying his best to save the warship.

Why use two torpedoes? That's because the opponent has locked all his movements, one is aimed at the static position, and the other is aimed at the front of his route, so that one will always hit!

For such a warship of more than 2,000 tons, as long as one hits it, it will hurt the bones.

Although the crew of the warship was struggling to save the ship, the ship was slowly tilting, tilting, and about to sink.

At this moment, the Aron Ward, which was slowly behind, finally arrived!

"Quick, search for that submarine first and kill it!" Chloe was furious, shouting to the Allen Ward just before the radio was about to stop working.

Kill it first!

The underwater world is silent and silent. Only those who can endure loneliness can become a qualified submariner.

Otto is such a person. In normal times, he doesn't say much, but every word he says is useful. For example, now, he has issued a new order: "Dive to a depth of 200 meters. , keep silent, sonar operators on high alert."

Two hundred meters deep! For the XXI submarine under his command, it is still easy to handle. After all, its design depth exceeds 240 meters, and Otto also knows that the American anti-submarine depth bombs do not exceed 150 meters. , because in this world, there has not been a submarine that can dive more than 200 meters.

Just now, he has destroyed two ships. For him, this is just a trivial record, just like eating and sleeping.

The diesel engine at the rear has not been started, and the entire submarine is quite silent. Every sailor walks cautiously, for fear of making any noise.

The sonar operator, on the other hand, was listening attentively.

"They're releasing anti-submarine depth bombs," the sonar operator reported.

A few dozen seconds later, a loud explosion passed through the sea water, and the crew members were still at ease.

"Explosion depth, fifty meters." The sonar operator continued to report.

Their explosion is still far from here! There was no fluctuation of the water flow on the hull, and it was conceivable that the above was just tossing around.

Yes, just messing around.

When surface ships search for underwater submarines, they mainly rely on sonar to determine the target orientation. Now, when no sound is heard, surface ships can only use stupid methods.

Put a depth bomb and explode at a certain depth in the sea water. If it can blow the opponent out, it is the best. If not, it is just a waste of some depth bombs. The cost of this kind of thing is very low.

At a depth of fifty meters, the Aron Ward placed a circle of deep rounds, and then waited for half an hour.

There was no oil pollution, nothing floated up, and it was quiet down there.

Set the depth to 100, continue to release!

On the second lap, the Allen Ward released a deep bomb again, this time adjusted to 100 meters, the sound of the explosion was very lively, but after waiting for another half an hour, nothing was found.

One hundred and fifty meters, release all the remaining deep bombs!

The sound of the explosion continued to appear, and the movement was very loud. Pieces of dead fish were constantly floating upward, but there was no underwater sound.

This shows what?

Is the submarine gone, or is it still waiting down there? The Allen Ward dared not make a judgment, after all, the tragedy of the Bagley was in sight, but it had no other way, because its anti-submarine depth bombs were used up!

The sky has gradually dimmed, and the Bagley is sinking into the sea. When it completely enters the water, those sailors will all fall into the water!

The Allen Ward, slowed down and began to release the lifeboats, did not dare to stop straight ahead, which would expose her to a horrific attack.

After some tossing, a few hours have passed.
