Chapter 1527 Wolves Bite

The main way to deal with submarines is to detect them in advance.

Submarines are only effective if they attack from the side. Therefore, as long as you find the opponent and turn 90 degrees, you can make the opponent's submarine go around in a big circle. When the opponent regains the launch position, you will turn around again.

This premise is to know where the submarine is, and in later generations, there will be advanced sonar equipment, but in this era, it depends on human intuition.

Christis' intuition saved the cargo ship again, turning twice and avoiding two torpedoes, enough for Moher to beat his chest, but their luck came to an end.

"Hidden." At the position of the tail gun, Christis did not fire, his eyes were extremely sharp, and he actually saw the trajectory of the torpedo that passed underwater.

The movement of the electric torpedo is very small, but its navigation still depends on the propeller. When the propeller stirs the sea water, it will always bring some changes.

Hide away!

If he hadn't turned, he would have been hit by this torpedo. Christis felt his back soaked wet, and when he turned his eyes to the nearby sea, he erected each one again. fine hair.

"Damn, our port side, and the submarine, captain, come on, full left rudder, oh no, full right rudder, oh no, speed up!"

He didn't know what to do anymore.

If it is a warship, you can rush up to the direction of the submarine with full left rudder, but they are cargo ships, why rush up? How to fight bayonet with others?

If the left rudder cannot be full, then the right full rudder? This is also not possible. If the right rudder is full, the submarine just now will give a good chance to launch torpedoes. Therefore, after hesitating for a while, he finally said to accelerate.

This is useless, because just after the cargo ship turned, it was already accelerating. Now acceleration does not change the state of sailing, nor does deceleration. There is no brake on the slow cargo ship, and deceleration is just the reverse of the propeller. Reversing the propellers could not save them in this emergency.

"Boom!" An electric torpedo easily made close contact with its broadside, and then a huge explosion ripped open the watertight compartment below, and the sea rushed in.

Only one German torpedo can kill a 10,000-ton warship, and although the merchant ship is also a 10,000-ton class, the construction standard of the merchant ship is low, and it is not resistant at all.

As the sea surged in, everyone knew that the ship was about to sink.

They quickly dropped the life buoy and jumped into the sea.

So did Critis, who gasped and looked around as he struggled to catch the swim ring.

Cargo ships are being besieged, and under the attack of German submarines, they have no room to fight back.

This is simply a one-sided slaughter. When the escorted ships are all killed, the remaining cargo ships have only the fate of being slaughtered.

As the first submarine U-107 to discover the fleet, it naturally does my part.

"Launch!" Heisler shouted loudly. The torpedo came out of the water and headed for the cargo ship that was speeding up to escape. Then, the bottom of the cargo ship exploded violently and stopped.

Crews kept jumping from above, the scene was chaotic, unfortunately, their luck was very bad.

"Boom!" A few seconds later, the cargo ship suddenly had an even more terrifying explosion. During the explosion, the entire cargo ship was suddenly blown apart from the middle and turned into pieces.

"Quick, drop the periscope!" Heisler shouted. As soon as his periscope was lowered, debris flew over the sea, and at the same time, the underwater vibrated violently.

What is this cargo ship transporting? This explosion is too elaborate, right?

With the exploding cargo ship as the center, the sea water radiates outward in a wavy ring, spreading in a circle, and the waves are actually five or six meters high!

The two nearby cargo ships were unfortunately hit, and the hulls were hit by the swirling debris, and then, with the shaking of the waves, the hulls were lifted up.

This is simply a depot-level explosion!

In the underwater submarine, the submariners also covered their ears, the sound was terrible.

When the explosion subsided, Heisler raised the periscope again, rolled up his sleeves and continued to work, murderously looking for the next target. On the sea, they were all their prey.

Kamchatka Peninsula.

This is a long peninsula in the Soviet Far East. It is bordered by the Sea of ​​Okhotsk to the west and the Pacific Ocean and the Bering Sea to the east. It is the second largest peninsula of the Soviet Union.

The crust here is unstable, volcanoes are active, earthquakes are frequent, and there are many hot springs and geysers. There are more than 160 volcanoes.

The climate is cold in winter and cool in summer. There are modern glaciers in the high mountains. The central and southern parts are the peninsula forest areas, where conifers dominated by larch, birch, aspen, etc. are widely distributed; the northern part is forest tundra and tundra. Forests cover 40% of the peninsula. There are various mineral deposits.

Therefore, it is not suitable for human habitation at all, it has always been sparsely populated, and most areas are undeveloped.

Now, in the southern part of the peninsula, Petropavlovsk, is the largest city here, the seat of the capital, and has a population of only tens of thousands. Usually, fishing and fish processing are the main industries. On the outskirts of the city, new Naval Air Forces of the Far Eastern Military District.

After receiving the news, they were extremely nervous. One after another SB-2 bombers, carrying anti-submarine depth bombs, hurriedly left the runway of the airport.

"Our cargo ships are being attacked by German submarines, and we must rescue them." Major Yevgeny said on the lead plane of the bomber, his heart was extremely anxious.

Although in the Far East, they also remembered the battle on the Western Front. The situation was quite unfavorable for the Soviets. If the Soviets did not have the blood transfusion from the United States, I am afraid that they would not be able to hold on.

From a geographical point of view, the United States and the Soviet Union are only separated by the Bering Strait. It seems that it is possible to travel by land. It is enough to take a ferry in the Bering Strait, but in fact, this is impossible at all.

Because the vast Far East region of the Soviet Union was deserted and uninhabited, there were no railways, the weather was cold, the forests were dense, and there were no roads at all. Sea freight is the lowest cost and most efficient mode of transportation.

They are tasked with protecting the sea lanes.

The SB-2 bombers flew quickly to the southern coast, but when they arrived there was nothing but a mess on the sea.

The entire fleet, under the bite of the German wolves, was in a state of tatters, and there was not a complete cargo ship left. On the sea, a human head was floating, as if telling something.

Why didn't you come earlier, the Germans have already run away. Damn, there are probably twenty German submarines.
