My Third Empire

At dawn, the sun had risen above the sea level in the east. The spectacular scene was unforgettable, and the brilliance of that moment was intoxicating. For a moment, Prien even felt that he was floating on the sea because he liked such a moment. I like the magnificence of only a ray of sunshine between heaven and earth.

But it's a pity that Prien would not be a submarine commander if he just wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery. He would be more likely to be a tanker sailor, leaning on the ship's side and peacefully watching everything that happened in front of him. . Now besides watching the sunrise on the sea, there are more important things waiting for him to accomplish.

Call the U-100 submarine and the U-99 submarine and ask them to go around the flank of this transport fleet. We will attract the attention of the escort destroyers in a while, and they will kill as many ships as possible in the fleet as soon as possible. .” Prien ordered to the first officer beside him.

The first officer nodded, and then went back to the inside of the submarine. Within a few minutes, the two submarines on the right wing of the wolf pack began to dive slowly, and the entire fleet was immediately surrounded by fighting breath. The romance of the sun rising above the sea just now disappeared in an instant.

Now, the time to watch the sunrise is over, and it's time to kill! Prien's expression turned cold, and he also entered the submarine. The last sergeant who followed into the submarine helped to close the hatch, and the whole iron The ladder immediately dimmed, leaving only a little faint light, illuminating the way into the command room.

The last telegram! Let the other two submarines prepare to catch the fish that slipped through the net! After Prien issued this order, he pulled the periscope tube from the top of his head. Opening the upper armrest, he flexibly turned the periscope, and finally aimed the periscope with the aiming reticle at the direction where the enemy would appear.

Just a few minutes ago, the radar on his submarine discovered this Allied fleet. Judging by its size, these discovered destroyers and transport ships belonged to a very large transport fleet, and such a huge fleet The transport fleet undoubtedly happened to be the attack target that Prien was trying to find.

According to the performance advantages of the new submarine, Prien designed a wonderful attack plan. His submarine first used the rate of fire to violently attack the opponent's fleet on one side, causing panic and confusion, and then began to move at high speed in the other direction. High-speed underwater navigation will give the opponent's sonar a more obvious signal to attract the opponent's attention.

When the destroyers of the Allied Forces leave their positions and begin to search for and expel Prien's submarines, the submarines on standby will open fire at close range, attacking the entire fleet, further destroying the formation of the transport fleet, and causing the other side to The destroyers had to move positions.

In the end, the two submarines ambushing on the other side opened fire again, severely damaging the entire fleet, and then everyone ran away happily, watching the British transport ships sink one after another at sea.

Target found! Right ahead of us.

An old destroyer, the speed is not fast! Prien said to the chief mate beside him: 11 degrees, correct the course of the submarine! Get ready for a torpedo attack! Equidistance is enough! Notify me immediately when the torpedo is ready!

The torpedo is ready! Not long after, this report came from the torpedo cabin, and the power system in the entire submarine command cabin began to restore power. Many instruments and equipment were lit up, and some beeping sounds were issued . The sonar operator concentrated his hands on his earphones, for fear of missing any strange sounds.

Get ready to launch a torpedo! The opponent is within range! Prien never took his eyes off the periscope. In his periscope, his submarine was already very close to the periphery of the fleet.

Fire! Following Prien's order, the u-47 submarine immediately showed its deadly power, air gushed out from the positions on both sides of the bow, and then one torpedo after another, just Along the predetermined trajectory, at the fastest speed, they rushed towards the unlucky enemies on their path.

There is an enemy situation! The German submarine is launching torpedoes! The sound is very close! The sonar officer of a British destroyer was taken aback suddenly, and then loudly reported to the officers around him.

Sound the battle alarm! Remind the flagship of the fleet to prepare for battle! Hearing the affirmative report from his subordinates, the officer immediately issued a battle order. After only a few seconds, the battle alarm echoed on the entire destroyer , The red light flickered back and forth in the corridor of the battleship.

Torpedo! Starboard! A torpedo is found on the starboard side! Adjust the course! Adjust the course! The soldier who had been staring at the sea with his binoculars was alerted by the battle alarm. line, grabbed the phone and started yelling frantically.

Relying on its high speed and relatively small tonnage, the destroyer began to turn in a hurry to avoid those terrifying killers. As the bow began to change its course, the destroyer was lucky to avoid those shots from the far corner. The cold arrow. But in front of it, the old-fashioned destroyer was not so lucky. With a loud noise, a torpedo accurately hit the battleship.

Damn it! It's an ambush! A4, a5! You two destroyers leave the fleet and kill this reckless guy! Before the destroyer commander who escorted here finished reading his combat order, he loaded a lot of evasive and untimely ships. In the fleet of transport ships, a ship made a huge explosion.

Prien fired 6 torpedoes in one volley, and then the fast loading equipment in the loading room helped the submarine load 6 torpedoes as quickly as possible, just as the opposing destroyer turned its bow and was about to come to him While in trouble, he seized the time to launch a terrible torpedo salvo.

Torpedo salvo! My God! Such a fast torpedo launch speed! It's not those old German submarines! It's that ghost! On the British destroyer, the sonar soldiers listened to the sound in the earphones and screamed loudly. .

Ordinary German submarines will choose to attack at night, because at that time, it is very conducive to the concealment and escape of the submarine. Taking advantage of the chaos caused by his own attack, he first laid down his hands and then escaped. This is the essence of the old wolf pack's tactics.

At the beginning, the British commander was obviously not flustered, because the attack during the day actually did not cause much harm to the entire transport fleet. Without the catalytic effect of fear at night, as long as the fleet is not in chaos, a little loss can be exchanged for The chance of sinking a German submarine is obviously a good deal.

And only rookies or blindly arrogant German submarine captains will attack during the day, which also shows that British destroyers with very rich anti-submarine experience can easily sink such a fool with a brain full of paste. Of course, there is an exception to everything.

Only one German U-boat preferred to attack during daylight hours, as it was easier and faster to aim. Another reason is that it is easier to confirm your own results when you launch an attack during the day. And this submarine is the nightmare of all British anti-submarine destroyers, and no one wants to mention this ghostly German submarine. Everyone called it a ghost, because no destroyer could catch a trace of it.

My God! Phantom? Are you sure? The sonar officer on the British destroyer widened his eyes and asked nervously. After getting the answer, he was relieved and felt that his luck was really too poor.

The idea of ​​bad luck is very easy to explain. There are at least 70 German submarines cruising in the North Atlantic Ocean. To be able to collide with that legendary submarine on such a vast sea, this luck is so bad that it can be described as against the sky. to the point.

The main reason for the relief is that according to past experience, this German ghost submarine only operates alone, and its appearance means that there should be no other German submarines nearby. As long as you get rid of this difficult ghost, the entire fleet will not be attacked by other German submarines in a short time.

But before he walked to the captain not far ahead and reported the analysis results of the sonar soldiers, a series of at least seven or eight explosions occurred directly in front of the entire transport fleet, and the speed of the entire fleet slowed down. Down, because of the leading ships, many of which were burning and sinking.

Front! Frontal submarine attack! Captain Buck called, and they found the ghost, right ahead! The voice of the noncommissioned officer in the telegraph room heard the sonar officer's ears, and he froze for a moment. An incredible thought popped up in my mind: Could it be that there are two ghosts?

Because of the explosions one after another, the speed of the entire fleet slowed down. They were arranged together, and the various transport ships that were advancing neatly became a mess. Then more explosions sounded, and more transport ships burst into huge flames. , The German torpedoes began to be faster, more accurate and more effective. The crowded fleet was like a huge target, and German submarines hardly needed to aim at it.

Sir! The sonar analysis shows that the German submarine on our side is the ghost! It is speeding up at a frighteningly fast speed. The sonar officer finally decided to tell his analysis so that his captain could do it. make a correct judgment.

There are ghosts on both sides? Didn't the Germans only have one such submarine? Can anyone tell me where the judgment went wrong? The captain of the British destroyer frowned and said in a mournful voice: Let The destroyers on the left wing hurry up and drive the opponent's submarines straight ahead, let them do whatever they want, and we're all done!
