Chapter 1320： Siege at sea (1/2)

The fire illuminates the sea. The fuel of the destroyed destroyer spreads on the sea, forming a huge area of ​​fire. You can see the Soviet sailors on the battleship.

The ship is about to sink, they can't stay on the ship, but the sea around the ship is burning, if they want to jump off, it will be burned to death.

Unless you dive into the water immediately and swim across this area, after all, there are only a few who can swim so far.

A sailor jumped into the water and was immediately burned by the fire. His screams echoed on the surface of the sea, and his voice resounded on the surface of the Black Sea before dawn.

Damn German! Gorshkov's eyes burst into anger.

The destroyer that was hit belongs to the 7U class, which is an improved version of the Rage class.

In the design of the Rage class, it was influenced by the Italian destroyers. The large single chimney structure, the basic ship type of the long first building and the layout of the power plant were adopted, but the 130mm single-tube ship of the Leningrad class was used. Cannons, small anti-shields, and 2 back and forth knapsacks.

One of its most basic shape identification features is a large chimney, which shows that this class of ships does not adopt a unitary power mechanical arrangement. There are 3 boilers in the boiler room, and 2 steam turbines in the engine room behind.

However, this kind of power arrangement caused some problems in the early stage of service for this class of ships. There were serious vibrations in the engine room and the propeller blades were broken.

After that, Germany provided a solution, which was to switch to a diesel engine produced in Germany. After installation, it was found to be a great improvement over the prototype. This new modification is called a 7U-class destroyer.

In other words, it burns diesel.

If it is a previous heavy oil boiler, it cannot catch fire even if it is hit. Heavy oil is difficult to be ignited, but diesel is different. When it is ignited by a torpedo, the diesel will burn.

(Diesel can not be ignited directly, but it can be ignited when there are other ignitors.)

Now, the entire surface of the sea is shining brightly, the Soviet warships are burning, and every Soviet sailor has an angry fire in the eyes.

”Found the periscope of the opponent's submarine, starboard position, in front of the burning destroyer, about a kilometer away!” At this moment, with the light of the burning battleship, the watcher actually saw the periscope on the water!

As long as you see the periscope, you see the submarine. Who would have thought that the German submarine had left its search area so quickly and went outside to ambush itself?

”Outside our formation?” Gorshkov was taken aback. At this time, he finally reacted: ”All fleet, speed up, get out of this sea!”

Gorshkov stopped fighting, because he had guessed that there is definitely more than one German submarine in this sea area of ​​his side!

He doesn't want to fight anymore, he has no time, and if he continues to fight, his risk is still great. Because he only has depth charges.

During World War II, the only way was to use destroyers to anti-submarine. Several destroyers were dispatched to round up. After the target was discovered, depth bombs were continuously fired to destroy the opponent's submarine. This method is the only way, but it also faces certain risks.
