Chapter 1320 Throwing Depth Shots (Plus 1)
The closest to the Molotov is the Red Crimea. This is a light cruiser. It has been in service for more than 20 years. It is also barely able to keep up with the speed of the formation. Immediately slowed down.
At this point, from their direction, it was clear that the Molotov's hull was tilting due to flooding, while the sailors on board were trying their best to save the battleship. It seemed that the situation was not optimism.
The German submarine actually attacked its own fleet at night. How much luck does it take?
slow down!
In the engine room, the sailor turned off the valve of the steam engine. Just now, the sound from the pipeline made him worry that the pipeline might burst at any time.
"Boom!" At this moment, a huge roar suddenly came from the sailor's feet. He stared at his lower part in horror, and saw the turbulent sea water pouring in towards him.
Not good, our side was also attacked by torpedoes, and the bottom of the ship was blasted with a big hole!
"Quick, save our ship!" Without thinking, he was about to pick up something from his side to block the hole below, but then, the sea water rushed to him, and the sea water was pouring too fast!
Compared with battleships and heavy cruisers, the bottom of this light cruiser is thinner, and just after one hit, more sea water poured into the damaged bottom.
But there are even scarier ones.
In the turbulent sea water, the sailors were still trying their best to rescue them. When the sailors were trying their best to block the hole, their eyes, through the sea water, saw something white coming from below.
Second torpedo!
The second torpedo, which was launched a few seconds apart, actually swam along the position of the first torpedo to the place where the hole was blown up. This probability is so small that it can be ignored, but it was encountered by the Soviet sailors!
"Boom!" 400 kilograms of high-energy explosives exploded, and in an instant, a powerful stream of water rolled in, centered on the explosion, and spread in a spherical shape around it, and everything was squeezed wherever it went.
The moment the sailors were hit by the water polo, their bodies were flattened by the sea water, blood spit out from their mouths, and the corners of their eyes were covered in snow, staining the sea water around them red.
This second stream of water rushed into the engine room quickly, occupying the entire engine room almost instantly.
The boiler was turned off, the steam engine stopped, and the tail had begun to sink rapidly due to a large amount of water inflow.
The second cruiser was attacked by torpedoes again in the fleet!
"Attention, the submarine is just below us. In our formation, the formation spreads out, drops depth charges, and sets a depth of 20 meters!" When the second warship was attacked by torpedoes, Gorshkov immediately reacted.
God knows how the German submarines entered their formation. In short, the two warships inside the formation were bombed, and the periphery was indeed fine, indicating that the other party must be inside their own, and the torpedoes are not that smart.
Moreover, the other party's current sneak attack is so fast, indicating that they are very close to themselves, and quickly throw depth charges!
Due to the backwardness of underwater listening technology, Soviet ships had to use violence to solve the problem of submarines, which is anti-submarine depth bombs!
On one side of each battleship, on the throwing rails of depth charges, the sailors quickly prepared.
There is a knob on the bare depth charge, which adjusts the depth. Set the depth charge at a suitable depth to explode, and then throw a lot of them down to form a place of death, even if only one is ten meters away from the opponent's submarine. If it explodes in position, it can also sink the opponent's submarine! At 20 meters, it can also hurt the opponent.
In order to prevent depth charges from blowing up your own troops, it is necessary to ensure that each ship takes a different route, and they go side by side, which requires adjusting their queues.
It was a high-speed column just now, but now it needs to be adjusted to an anti-submarine horizontal team, which caused a panic in the fleet. Especially, although there is moonlight now, the visibility is not as good as during the day.
On the Red Ukraine, Captain Fesanovic looked at the lights on the other warships in front and shouted loudly: "Right rudder one, drop bombs!"
The hull began to turn, and then, he felt a huge black shadow appear on his side.
not good!
The battleship Voroshinov behind him was actually turning to the left, just to the right of his route. The two battleships were at risk of collision!
How to do?
Operating a warship at sea is no better than driving on land. The tonnage of warships is large, and it is quite difficult to change the state of motion.
"Full speed!" Feisanovic ordered.
It's too late to slow down, it's too slow, it's better to move forward at full speed, as long as you are faster than the other party, you can avoid a collision.
At the same time, after the speed is fast, he turns more agile.
Following his order, the steam turbine at the rear received the surging steam, rapidly pushing the steam engine, the propeller accelerated, and the entire hull began to accelerate.
Seeing this roaring and accelerating battleship, the captain of the Voroshinov couldn't help but cursed in his heart, God, what are you doing?
The Soviets are atheistic, but they do not prohibit the Orthodox Church. They also have their own beliefs. At this time, even God cannot tell them.
The battleship that was suddenly inserted in front of them was accelerating. It was no problem and could be avoided. However, when they were accelerating, why were they still throwing depth charges?
They dropped depth charges, right on the Voroshinov's path!
"Quick, full right rudder!" the captain shouted loudly. There was a lot of noise on the warship at this time, but he still seemed to hear the sound of the wind blowing from the sea, which was the thumping sound of a depth charge falling into the water.
With a fixed depth of 20 meters, everyone knows what it means. If it explodes on the bottom of their own ship, although it will not be sunk by the bomb, it will definitely be uncomfortable.
With the order of the right full rudder, the helmsman killed the steering wheel, and the huge 10,000-ton heavy cruiser began to tilt up, flapping the sea, and countless water splashes surging.
"Boom!" At this moment, there was a sound under the water.
The depth charge fell into the water very fast, almost a few seconds after it was dropped, it began to explode.
The explosion woke Fesanovic, who found that he had just been paying attention not to collide, but he had forgotten to give the order to suspend the throwing of depth charges!
The sailors are also quick, and in a short period of time, they have thrown a dozen of them!
"Stop throwing deep shots! Quick!" Fesanovic shouted.
"Boom, boom!" Underwater, explosions came one after another.
