torpedo? Yes, torpedoes!

Who would have thought that a German submarine suddenly appeared here? Who would have thought that the other party had already fired a torpedo without knowing it? And do n’t you say that the submarine will not sneak attack when the speed is high enough? Isn't all this cheating?

In full doubt, the captain of the Soviet battleship did not even have time to issue an evasion order. The first officer who had participated in the First World War saw that the situation was not good, and quickly shouted: "Left full rudder! To avoid torpedoes! Keep moving at full speed! Zuoman rudder! Quick!"

As soon as the sailor holding the steering wheel heard this command, he slammed the steering wheel **** his left side. The whole steering wheel turned like a fan. Their battleship was named Soviet, if it was sunk ... good Well, even if it is injured, it is not good to explain to the people above.

The effect of turning at full speed is quite obvious for a ship running at full speed. However, the speed of the ship is fast, and it is impossible to exceed the cruising speed of the torpedo. The destroyers can not do this. Battleships with tens of thousands of tons of weight It is even more impossible to do it.

"Boom!" With a loud explosion, the entire Soviet Union shook violently. Obviously the first torpedo had hit the hull. Now everyone no longer feels lucky. They can only pray. Pray non-stop, pray that the battleship under your feet can withstand the test of this round of torpedo attack, even if it is seriously injured, but never sink.

The huge explosion ripped apart the battleship's heavy side armor, penetrated the compartment bulkhead inside, and twisted and deformed the keel structure inside. This is the most powerful crystallization of the human chemical industry. With the most violent power of nature, it is ruining the strongest and thickest fortress of the human smelting industry.

This time it was clear that the former had won. The huge explosion destroyed the structure of several cabins. Seawater was pouring into the hull in large quantities. The oil had leaked to the surrounding sea on a large scale. It looked like a blood stain. terrible.

Of course, all this is far from over. The huge explosion was not only one time. The second torpedo quickly hit another location of the battleship, which is closer to the rear of the hull, and is also the thickest position of the entire battleship. Unfortunately, it is too close to the place where the torpedo was just exploded, and the torsion of the internal structure caused by the torpedo just made the nearby cabins and the stressed structure fragile.

The second explosion made everyone desperate. This torpedo blasted the surrounding cabins directly into a gap. About a dozen cabins were completely destroyed at once. The influx of seawater was faster than before. And this explosion also has a more lethal effect. The speed of the entire Soviet battleship suddenly slowed down!

So the third and fourth torpedoes were not wasted, and all hit the Soviet propeller's tail propeller. This time it really took the Soviet Union's old life. Not only the two huge propellers on the starboard side were blown off, but the rudder was completely destroyed. The seawater poured into the tail of the hull, and soon It merged with the seawater entering the side.

So only two minutes later, the hull of the USSR began to rise up front and back, the red water line painted on the bottom of the bow hull was away from the sea, and the sharp bow was lifting off the water at an incredible angle .

Most of the damage control personnel inside the hull were swept away by the influent seawater. When the seawater rushed into the boiler room, the entire warship lost its power. The working efficiency of the water pump immediately dropped several times, and the tilt of the hull became more serious. It only took a total of 15 minutes from the hit of the Soviet Union to the final loss of control.

You have to sigh human means, they often take a long time to build a huge achievement, but sometimes it takes only a few seconds to destroy this achievement. The Soviet Union took three full years to complete from design to construction, but its sinking did not take half an hour from the start of water intake.

The elaborately designed anti-torpedo structure cannot withstand the destruction of four large-caliber torpedoes. The thick armor also failed to stop the high-explosive riots. This is the true meaning of war: no strong fortress can always resist the enemy's attack. The Great Wall is sometimes not the best choice.

The torpedo is responsible for destroying the armor and shaking the defense system of the battleship. The seawater takes care of the rest. They pour into the interior of the battleship, push the wall that has been twisted and deformed, through the gaps and holes, into the vents and the cracks in the doors, and then occupy one or more sites that were originally air . When they squeeze a lot of air out of the hull, the entire battleship will be overwhelmed, pulling more cabins into the water, and the cycle will continue in a vicious cycle until the entire ship sinks to the bottom of the sea.

The heavy armor that was laid to prevent damage was now a burdensome coat that could not be taken off. Hundreds and thousands of tons of solid steel plates pulled the battleship slowly and sinked. All human efforts seemed to become minimal at this time.

"Soviet! Soviet! You are leaning! Are you leaning! Need help?" On the bridge of a cruiser behind the USSR, the cruiser captain called the USSR with a radio.

A few minutes later, the Soviet Union sent the first telegram after it was hit. The content is also very simple: "I was hit by a torpedo, the damage failed, and all the members abandoned the ship!" And when this telegram was sent, The stern of the USSR has sunk into the sea, and the huge bow in front has been completely lifted out of the sea by huge leverage.

All this is somewhat similar to the sinking process of the Titanic, except that the Titanic first sunk the bow into the seabed, pressing the stern off the water. The Soviet battleship was the opposite. The stern was tilted high due to the influx of water.

"Destroyer! Search the entire sea! Catch the German submarine and sink it!" The captain of the cruiser immediately took command of the battlefield. After hesitating a little, he immediately issued a combat command. He didn't want to lose another warship because of rescue work, or to let go of the German submarine as the murderer when the Soviet Union had sunk.

"Explode on the starboard side of the USSR! The submarine is on our starboard side!" The Soviet destroyer's ship had a thick beard, and he had rich combat experience. Because he used to be an anti-submarine commander in World War I, and he has very skilled anti-submarine skills.

"Right full rudder! Advance at full speed! Prepare for a deep-water bomb!" He raised his binoculars and looked at where the opposing submarine might appear. There was a calm there, and nothing seemed to appear. But he was very certain in his heart that under the calm water, a submarine was accelerating and escaping in the opposite direction.

"Don't go back to the rudder! Deviate from some routes!" The destroyer's bearded commander pressed the steering wheel confidently, preventing the sailors on his ship from turning the steering wheel back. The destroyer deviated from its course, and then returned to the direction it was originally aiming for about a minute later.

Chasing a submarine straight? What's the difference with finding death? In case the opponent dog jumps the wall and fights back with a torpedo at the tail of the submarine, it is definitely a very difficult subject. He was careful to avoid evasion, so the submarine could not easily fire back by relying on the inaccurate sonar system.

Behind the destroyer, the Soviet cruiser had already drove to the vicinity of the USSR and began to put down the lifeboat to save people. There were densely packed Soviet sailors floating there, and they would freeze to death in the cold water shortly after waiting. The bow of the huge Soviet ship is almost in the sea. The powerful 381 mm caliber cannon is now standing on the sea like three chimneys.

"Captain, aren't we going to save people? Without us, the speed of saving people might be too late." The first officer looked back at his comrades in the water, his tone full of anxiety. You know, there are more than 1600 officers and soldiers on the USSR, even if half killed in battle, there are 800 people.

"There are other ships to save people! We are responsible for killing that German submarine!" Captain Bearded said stubbornly: "We can catch him now!"

"Can you catch it?" The first officer froze, then looked back at his captain in shock.

"It can't run far!" Said the bearded man confidently: "I want to sink it!"

The destroyer at his feet is the latest anti-submarine destroyer purchased from the United Kingdom. It was built in July 1937 and the ship age is very small. In fact, the negotiation for the purchase of this destroyer is still very tortuous, it is a small story.

This ship was originally one of a new destroyer designed and built by the British Navy. When it was completed and before the Navy accepted service, the Soviet Union deliberately leaked the "Soviet-German Treaty of Non-aggression". Had to free up his hands to prepare to deal with Germany who deceived them.

In order to thank the Soviets for their "good faith reminders", the British Navy sold this new destroyer to the Soviet Union. After all, the British Navy had not yet been challenged by the German high seas fleet. So the Soviet Union got this new destroyer "symbolizing the friendship between Britain and Soviet Union".

This destroyer is equipped with a relatively new type of sonar, which is regarded as a slightly professional anti-submarine destroyer in the Soviet Navy. So the Soviet navy sent the experienced bearded as the captain of this destroyer, and assigned this destroyer to the USSR as an **** ship.

Now, the official contest began. A destroyer stared at its prey, but this prey was not a cute seal, but a steel shark that could open its mouth at any time.
