Chapter 1525 Too Many Submarines (Plus 2)

Proximity fuzes can effectively increase the killing ability. Collision fuzes can only explode when they are in contact, while proximity fuzes can explode as long as they are close. In the air, they are killed by shrapnel. In seawater, the incompressible seawater is the explosive force. main route of transmission.

Vigilant was hit, black smoke billowed from its rear engine room, it had lost its power system, and at this time, it was still fighting.

At the bow, the gunners operate on the sloping and swaying deck from the positions of the two forward single-barreled 130mm B-13 2C guns.

"Boom!" There was gunpowder smoke at the muzzle, and a 130mm shell flew out of the muzzle and shot towards the position of the submarine in the distance.

The effective weapons against submarines are torpedoes and anti-submarine depth bombs, while ordinary naval artillery shells are not very lethal to submarines.

With a sharp whistle, the 130mm shell penetrated into the water. Miraculously, no ricochet occurred. The naval gun fired at the surface of the water, and a considerable number of ricochet occurred.

When it entered the water, the fiery warhead was instantly cooled by the sea water, and a layer of air bubbles appeared around it, as if a red-hot soldering iron was put into the water, but soon, it was cooled down.

The sea water blocks in front of it, and the resistance increases instantly. The rotating warhead does not give it any advantage. The surrounding sea water is driven by it, which increases its resistance. Therefore, after advancing for more than ten meters in the sea water, it churned. Get up and roll around without any control.

There are still dozens of meters away from the submarine, which is doomed to be in vain.

One after another, the advantage of the 130mm gun is that it has a fast rate of fire, the shells fall into the water, and lines with bubbles are drawn underwater. Soon this line has no regularity, and underwater Sliding randomly.

"Full speed, full right rudder."

"Full left rudder, stop."

"Attention, No. 2 launch tube, electric torpedo, fixed depth of 2 meters, let it go!" Moher continued to shout.

Those swirling shells, in his eyes, were just a struggle before death.

If you are hit, you can only say that you are unlucky. The other party is just blindly launching into this area of ​​​​their own side, and there is no quasi-head at all. If there is a threat, at least it must be a battleship with a caliber of 281 or more. Naval guns, firing high-explosive bombs, are equivalent to terrible depth charges when they enter the sea, and may also cause some damage to themselves.

Now, just like tickling, my periscope is 15 meters deep. After the shell falls into the water, the distance of 15 meters is enough to attenuate its energy, not to mention the depth. If the shell is vertical, it is almost the same, and all The shells are all angled, so that the distance is farther.

Because the opponent made a U-turn, causing his own launch position to lose its advantage, he had to move the submarine and circled to the opponent's side again. This time, a clear target appeared in his field of vision, which was so wonderful.

The second electric torpedo came out of the water, and it silently pounced on the target. This time it was a fixed target, and the loss of power made Vigilance impossible to maneuver at all. In the periscope, the target warship can be seen perfectly Suddenly a more violent explosion occurred from the middle!

The fire spread from the bottom, and the sailors on the Vigilant were still working hard at the last minute. They put out the fire, they wanted to save the warship, and at the same time, their guns were still firing.

"Fire and kill that damn submarine!"

The gunners were extremely angry. They watched the other side revolve around their sides and watched the other side reoccupy the firing position. Their turrets also rotated and kept aiming at each other, but it was in vain.

"Captain, our warship is going to sink." Boris listened to Isakov's words, his eyes lit up: "We will never give up our mission, we will live and die with the warship!"

His eyes looked at the sea behind him. At this time, all the cargo ships were also firing violently.

If the crew were still Americans, they would have surrendered long ago, and as was previously unwritten practice, the German submarines would allow them to drop the lifeboats, allow them to leave by boat, and then the German submarines would resurface and kill the cargo ships with their deck guns.

This is good for both sides, the crew will go back alive, and the submarine will reduce the torpedo consumption, but the winner is still the German submarine, because the cargo ship sunk.

And now they are Soviet sailors. For them, life is secondary, and the cargo on board is the main thing. It is related to whether the Soviet can hold on. They are defending the property of the Soviet.

So now, the Soviet sailors will not give up the fight.

Generally speaking, cargo ships cannot be armed, but this is in wartime. In order to protect themselves, the newly built Liberty ships have been equipped with 4-inch deck guns (100 mm) at the stern to deal with floating submarines, as well as various An anti-aircraft gun to deal with possible dive bombers.

This has become an armed cargo ship.

Chrissy's heart was extremely nervous.

There are not many people on the cargo ship, and everyone is a generalist. When there is no battle, they are lookouts, and when the battle comes, they immediately become gunners.

Christis has already arrived at the position of the tail gun. At this time, the cargo ship he is on is also running at full power. The coal-fired boiler emits a black column of smoke and shoots straight into the sky. The three-stage steam engine is rumbling. With a sound, the bearded captain has ordered the ship to turn the rudder to the right and accelerate towards the Kamchatka Peninsula.

At the same time, after receiving the news, the anti-submarine aircraft deployed on the Kamchatka Peninsula are also rushing to arrive. It only takes ten minutes to arrive here and expel the submarine.

No matter how brave the German submarines are, they can even besiege the escort ships, and they are always powerless to the planes. As long as the anti-submarine planes arrive and throw depth charges, they will definitely be able to kill them, or at least expel these damn submarines.

They had to hold out until the anti-submarine aircraft arrived.

Christis had no confidence, he had already foreseen the end.

The Germans had too many submarines. What he saw was only part of it. In this sea area, at least ten submarines were besieging them.

The target of the first wave of submarine strikes was the escorting ships. The ships that were originally escorted were anti-submarines, but now they were beaten horribly because there were too many submarines.

When the escort warships are killed, none of these cargo ships can escape!

Christis' eyes were fixed on the sea, most afraid of the bubbling torpedo that suddenly appeared. At the same time, the corner of his eye also swept the sinking Vigilance.

The sea has flooded the deck, but the gunners are still firing, but no submarine is interested in it anymore.

After killing the escort ships, it is a feast for the captains, eat the cargo ships!
