Chapter 1419 Throwing It Into the Sea
This voice, so familiar, immediately stunned Ralph.
Torpedo, this is definitely a torpedo!
It wasn't the sound of the ship hitting the rocks, or the explosion of the weapon inside the ship, it was definitely a torpedo.
What can fire a torpedo? That must be a submarine. The German submarine actually appeared in this sea area. In this extremely frozen Arctic Ocean with monstrous waves, the German submarine actually appeared!
It's really scary!
Almost as soon as he made his judgment, he heard the sound of explosions one after another.
"Boom!" Another torpedo exploded. This torpedo just hit an escort aircraft carrier in front of the Manila Bay. With the violent explosion, the bottom of the aircraft carrier broke off, and a large amount of sea water poured in. The aircraft carrier is sinking rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
So fast, is there more than one submarine coming?
"Watch out, we have submarines near us!" shouted Ralph, looking out to sea in the distance. He must be a few nautical miles to starboard of his own, there are terrible German submarines!
The most terrible thing is that they have no escort ships at all!
Historically, the American fleet was intercepted by the German submarine wolf pack tactics, for which the United States built a large number of escort ships, which eventually smashed the German sea wolf pack.
But now it was different, the United States could not support Britain from the Atlantic because Britain had already surrendered.
The United States planned to provide support to the Soviet Union from Iceland, but unfortunately the German surface fleet was too strong, and the Americans could only cut off this route when they could not compete head-on. The ships were inspected, and the Americans were outraged, but there was little they could do.
As a result, the Americans can only go all the way around and open up an Arctic route. The harsh weather conditions here are enough to give them a headache. The route is all along the coast of the Soviet Union, and they are all barren, so there is no need to worry about the Germans. At this time, there is no need for an escorted ship at all.
Who would have thought that the German submarine actually came here!
It doesn't matter how the Germans appeared, what matters is how to get away!
"Quick, push all the fighter jets into the sea, we have to speed up!" Ralph said.
Their decks are full of fighter jets, even if one weighs only five tons, it is hundreds of tons, and, most importantly, the fighter jets on the deck are so full that their own carrier-based aircraft cannot take off!
The aircraft on the deck are all installed on the aircraft carrier from the manufacturing plant. There is no fuel, lubricating oil, no weapons in the aircraft, and it is useless at all.
And the planes in the hangar below have been maintained, they can be dispatched at any time, and they can also mount bombs. As long as the planes in the hangar can take off, they can drive away the terrifying submarine, even if it frightens the other party. Walk!
Push the fighter jets on the deck into the sea. Hearing this order, Mitchell couldn't help being surprised. These fighter jets cost a lot of money. The aid to the Soviet Union in vain has already caused his own pain. Do you want to give it like this? throw away?
"Don't throw it now, wait for us to be attacked?" Ralph's anxious words immediately made Mitchell understand that his own situation was very critical.
"Boom!" Another escort aircraft carrier was destroyed!
Other merchant ships followed suit. Seeing that several of their own ships were hit, they were quite frightened.
After the ship was hit, the crew members could only jump into the icy waters. For them, there were only a few minutes left in their lives. Even if they were rescued by other ships, they would suffer a serious illness. Not to mention that now, there is no one to save them at all, and every ship is thinking about how to leave this terrible sea area and escape the pursuit of submarines!
"Quick, throw these planes away!" On the deck, several crew members were wearing fur coats and hats, only showing their faces. In less than a minute, their faces were frozen hard and they felt snot. All were frozen.
In their hands, holding axe, the fire axe that was urgently brought up from below.
There was no time to untangle those ropes, they had to cut it down with a fire axe in this simple and crude way!
A sailor picked up his axe and slashed towards the rope, bang, bang, as he slashed, the rope, which was already frozen hard, broke immediately.
He chopped off this rope in a few strokes, and then chopped the others. After a while, his body began to sweat, but his face was frozen with ice.
"Quick, quick, we're running out of time," shouted incessantly as they ran fast across the deck, trying to cut all the ropes.
"Ah..." A scream came suddenly.
A sailor ran to the side of a plane and wanted to chop the rope, but at this moment, suddenly, a strong wind blew, his feet slipped, and he slipped into the sea!
On the edge of the wooden deck, due to the infiltration of seawater, it was frozen and quite smooth.
"Pfft!" The sailor fell into the sea water, and in an instant, the icy sea water entered his body, and he felt like there were countless needles sticking all over his body.
Only Lao Maozi, who lives in icy areas all year round, dares to swim in ice caves in winter. As for other people, after entering this kind of sea water, his body is stiff in less than a minute. Consciousness was blurred, and the most terrifying thing was the thick cotton-padded coat he was wearing, which was soaked in seawater, and would be quite heavy, pulling people and sinking into the seawater.
A few bubbles spewed out of his mouth, and his eyelids had lost consciousness. He looked at the outside world with his last eyes, and his eyes were filled with incomparable nostalgia.
No one was going to pull him, and no one was going to pull him.
Finally, all the ropes were cut.
"Attention, pay attention to the whole ship, the left rudder is full!"
When sailing at full speed, the full left rudder is quite exciting. As the helmsman turns the steering gear, the huge hull tilts in an instant.
The deck was also tilted by more than ten degrees, and the planes on the deck were thrown into the sea with a thud, as if they were big rocks!
They don't seem to be reconciled and don't want to enter the icy ocean, but they keep slipping down like dumplings, they seem to be grabbing something, but the surroundings are so smooth, they seem to be in Passengers who didn't grasp the handrail when the bus turned, were thrown.
If the Soviets see it, they will definitely feel very distressed. After all, this is to support the Soviets, and now, for Americans, survival is the most important thing.
"Elevator, immediately bring the fighter up to me, ready to take off!" Ralph shouted.
It's a race against time to eject your carrier aircraft and throw bombs on it before the Germans can finish their next torpedo reload!
