Imperial Overlord

: One hundred and five unlucky convoys

On the seemingly perpetually choppy waters of the North Atlantic, several tiny pipes juxtaposed in a straight line cut the waves.

This is a German U-boat that has entered a submerged state, and one of these metal pipes is a periscope, and the other is a diesel engine snorkel pipe behind the periscope.

As long as this is extended to the sea, the diesel engine in the submarine can work normally, the submarine can move forward at a higher speed, and it can also charge the battery.

Using this sailing state shows that the submarine has entered dangerous waters and may be discovered by British destroyers.

This snorkel moves slowly on the sea, revealing strange and dangerous. It's a hidden killer, and it's terrifying for its target.

A few meters deep underwater, the inside of the submarine seems to have lost the surging feeling of the water surface. Although it is still shaking, it seems to be much calmer.

Such a huge submarine is sailing silently underwater, and the dark hull reflects the light and shadow cast by the water surface, swaying back and forth like a ghost.

Its bow is still as sharp as a knife, and because there is no reference, it looks very large.

This submarine is a German-produced Type IX ocean-going submarine, which almost integrates Germany's most advanced submarine technology so far.

It is the backbone of the German Navy's submarine force and is now the world's top underwater killer.

The submarines have larger hulls, carry more fuel and supplies, and travel farther to ambush their prey.

In the periscope, the round field of view, and the degree table depicted on it is the tool used by the captain to judge the distance and angle of the enemy ship.

These scales, although not as advanced as modern submarine computers, are as accurate as ever with German precision instruments.

At this moment, the German submarine captain is staring at his prey not far away, a huge prey.

Going to the territory, it is not a single merchant ship's prey, but a huge British transport fleet.

This fleet is escorted by many destroyers, and there are also more high-value targets in the regiment.

Of course, this German submarine is not the only one responsible for attacking this fleet. In order to ensure the efficiency of the attack, at least 10 German submarines have been assembled in the nearby waters.

Such a large-scale attack was contacted in advance. For this operation, the German Navy dispatched all the submarines that could be dispatched, in order to give the British a ruthless attack.

The GH-67 transport fleet is the target that must be destroyed as much as possible this time. The captain of each submarine has the same order: sink as many GH-67 transport fleets as possible.

"Keep the course! Slow down and stand by!" He put his face on the periscope and commanded loudly: "The enemy ship is on a fixed course! Prepare to attack! ... The two torpedo tubes on the bow 1 and 2 are starting to fill with water! Listen to me. order! Prepare to launch!"

Similarly, choosing to attack at night, because the route and location are just right, the German Navy's submarines can choose their most favorable time to attack.

Inside the submarine, after hearing the command issued by the captain, everyone waited quietly. They were like deep-sea demons waiting to be slaughtered, staring closely at their prey, ready to deliver the most fatal blow at any time.

"Pay attention to the course..." The captain's eyes were still attached to the scope, looking at his target intently, and when he felt it was appropriate, he issued an order.

"Report! The torpedoes are ready!" replied the torpedo operator.

"Bow torpedo tubes No. 1, No. 2, ready!" the captain continued.

"Torpedo No. 1, No. 2, get ready!" The torpedo launcher pressed his hand on the switch and replied.

"Launch!" The captain gave his attack order loudly.

"Launch!" The torpedo operator pressed the switch corresponding to the torpedo tube in front of him.

"Bang!" Everyone in the boat heard the sound of the submarine launching torpedoes, along with the sudden vibration of the submarine and the dull noise from the machinery.

In the water, the tumbling bubbles made a sound similar to that of water being boiled, and two torpedoes ejected from the front of the submarine with the bubbles, leaving their unique traces on the sea surface and rushing towards their targets.

Contrary to common belief, using torpedoes on a moving platform like a submarine to attack another moving surface target is a very difficult task.

This requires the courage and patience of all involved in the entire submarine. They must adjust the torpedoes and find a suitable angle to launch these torpedoes to ensure that they hit the target they should hit.

Most of the time, submarine officers work together to complete a powerful torpedo attack. That's why submarine officers and men are so united and see honor as a collective credit.

The officers and soldiers of German submarines will repeatedly confirm the appearance characteristics of enemy warships during their internship.

Including side silhouettes of enemy ships, 45-degree silhouettes, 60-degree or even 90-degree silhouettes, they have to keep them in mind.

These silhouettes were collected by German spies in advance, very precious data. Using these data, we can easily distinguish the angle between the enemy ship and our own submarine, and infer the other party's heading information.

As long as they see a familiar figure, these German submarine officers and soldiers will immediately judge the draft depth of the other ship and other information.

Before the torpedo is launched, it needs to be corrected by the mechanical computer, adjust the angle and calculate the launch time.

These things are all done by a machine. As long as the corresponding numbers are input into the machine, a launch parameter can be obtained.

In fact, most of the torpedo attacks are launched when the two sides are at an angle to each other, and there are very few examples of direct fire on warships that are moored or in a straight line.

"Tubes 3 and 4! Torpedoes... launch!" As time passed, the captain gave the order to attack again.

At almost the same time, the two torpedoes were pushed out of the launch tube of the submarine bow again, and charged towards the distant target with an indomitable momentum.

"Load!" Under an order, in the torpedo compartment at the bow, the sailors of the German Navy began to shout slogans desperately, pushing the heavy torpedo to the standby launcher behind the torpedo tube.

The soldiers then unscrewed those huge circular torpedo refills, and there was still some remaining water in it, which dripped along the open hatch to the feet of the German sailors.

"One, two, three! Come on!" A German sergeant with his upper body cocked his hat diagonally, cheering for the soldiers beside him.

The muscles on his body tightened, and several people worked together to push the heavy torpedo into the black hole of the launch tube.

This kind of work, they have to repeat 4 times in a narrow space, to be able to fill all the 4 torpedo tubes.

The enemy's speed is fixed, and even the scale is large, and there is no need for precise aiming attacks, so this time the attack has almost zero chance of failure.

Soon, there was a huge explosion in the distance. The sonar soldier took off his headphones and told his captain of the explosion he heard: "Sir! Hit!"

On the sea, the sky that had darkened was illuminated by a huge explosion and fire, and the fire suddenly soared dozens of meters high, and the billowing smoke could be clearly seen through the periscope.

A huge explosion sounded once, and the GH-67 fleet was also overwhelmed by a series of huge explosions, just like the J-18 convoy encountered.

The attack of the German submarines unfolded from all directions, confounding the unknown fleet of British **** destroyers at once.

They couldn't tell which side was the real offensive direction of the German submarines, so they didn't dare to act rashly.

An explosion, for a fully loaded transport ship, means a fatal sinking.

In terms of scale, the GH-67 transport fleet is even larger than the J-18 transport fleet. Because of this, there are now significantly more ships being sunk.

"Torpedo!" With a heart-piercing scream, another transport ship on the water was hit by a torpedo on the side.

This transport ship is loaded with steel that is shipped to the UK for reprocessing, and it is special steel of excellent quality.

Now the cabin is flooded, and because of the too much load, the ship just rolled over on the sea.

Before the crew above could call for help, it rolled over, leaving only one bottom left on the water.

In the distance of this transport ship, another transport ship broke into two pieces, and sank so quickly that even the lifeboat didn't have time to put down one.

Farther away, two British transport ships that were smoking and burning were also sinking, and the people above were desperately calling for help.

Compared with other transport ships, these two ships are obviously transporting personnel. There are many people on them, and they are all shouting loudly~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The people shouting above are volunteer pilots from the United States. Came to Britain "voluntarily" to help Britain continue to insist on the British Air War.

It's a pity that they haven't received their own plane yet, and they have to take a cold shower in the Atlantic Ocean after a long or short flight in the sky with the German pilots.

"Think of a way! If we go on like this, we'll be finished!" The officer in charge of the GH-67 fleet on the destroyer wailed to the captain beside him.

"What can I do? The Germans know our transportation routes! This is obvious!" The destroyer captain replied in a depressed tone.

The matter of German spies is no longer a secret within the British navy, but if you hadn't experienced this kind of thing firsthand, people would still not believe in such things as spies.

However, now, how can people not believe this kind of thing about the GH-67 transport fleet?
