Chapter 1525: Wolves bite (1/2)
The main way to deal with submarines is to find out in advance.
The submarine needs to attack from the side to be effective. Therefore, as long as you find the opponent and turn ninety degrees, you can make the opponent's submarine circle in a big circle. When the opponent re-occupies the launch position, then you will turn around.
This premise is to know that the submarine is there, in later generations, there are advanced sonar equipment, and in this era, it depends on human intuition.
Kritis's instinct once again saved the cargo ship, turned twice and avoided two torpedoes, which was enough for Moher to beat his chest, but their good luck stopped there.
”Hidden.” At the position of the tail gun, Kritis did not fire. His eyes were so sharp that he actually saw the track of the torpedo that was passing under the water.
The movement of an electric torpedo is very small, but its navigation still relies on a propeller. When the propeller stirs the sea, it will always bring some changes.
Hid it!
If he didn’t turn, he would definitely be hit by this torpedo. Kritis felt his back soaked, and when he turned his eyes to the nearby sea, he erected each one again. Hairs.
”Damn, our port side, there are submarines, captain, fast, full rudder left, oh no, full rudder right, oh no, speed up!”
He has no idea what to do.
If it is a warship, you can rush to the direction of the submarine with the rudder left full, but they are cargo ships, why are they rushing up? How do you fight bayonet with others?
Can't the left rudder be full, then the right rudder? This is also not possible. If the rudder is full right, the submarine just now will give him a good chance to launch the torpedo, so after hesitating twice, he finally said to accelerate.
This is useless, because just now the cargo ship was accelerating after turning, and now the acceleration does not change the sailing state at all, and the deceleration is not possible. There is no brake on the slow cargo ship, and the deceleration is only the propeller reversed. In this critical moment, inverting the propeller will not save them.
”Boom!” An electric torpedo easily made intimate contact with its sideboard, and then a huge explosion tore open the watertight compartment below, and sea water poured in turbulently.
German torpedoes can kill 10,000-ton-class warships with just one piece. Although merchant ships are also 10,000-ton-class ships, their construction standards are low and they cannot resist attack at all.
As the sea rushed in, everyone knew that the ship was about to sink.
They quickly dropped the lifebuoy, then jumped into the sea.
The same is true for Kritis. When he struggled to catch the swimming ring, Kritis panted and looked at everything around him.
Cargo ships were being besieged. Under the attack of German submarines, they had no room to fight back.
This was simply a unilateral slaughter. After the escorted ships were killed, the remaining cargo ships were slaughtered.
As the U-107 submarine that first discovered the fleet, of course it did my part.
”Launch!” Heisler shouted loudly. The torpedo came out of the water and headed towards the cargo ship that was speeding up to escape. Then, a violent explosion occurred at the bottom of the cargo ship and stopped.
The crew kept jumping from above, and the scene was in chaos, but unfortunately, their luck was very bad.
