On the rough sea, a small thing made a wave. The metal pipe slowly moved across the sea, revealing strangeness and danger.

Under the depth of a few meters, it seems that the surging feeling of the water surface has been lost. Although it still shakes here, it seems to be calmer.

A huge submarine was sailing silently here, squeezing away the fish, the light and shadow projected from the water reflected on the shell, and it looked mottled and vicissitudes.

Its bow is still as sharp as a sword, but its size is much larger. This submarine integrates the most advanced submarine technology in Germany, is the backbone of the German navy submarine force, and is also the world's top underwater killer.

It is equipped with this diesel snorkel technology that is not universally equipped in the world. It can charge the entire submarine at the periscope depth and maintain a high speed at this depth. Of course, it also has a wider hull, carrying more fuel and supplies, and heading to more distant places to ambush its prey.

In the periscope, the round field of view and the degree table portrayed on it are the tools to judge the distance and speed, although the original is quite accurate. At this moment, the German submarine captain is staring at his prey not far away, a huge prey.

"Keep heading! Slow down and stand by!" He placed his face on the periscope and commanded loudly: "The enemy ship! This is a British merchant ship! The British flag hangs on it! It can sink ... The bow 1, 2 and 2 The torpedo tubes are ready to be filled with water! Ready to launch! "

Inside the submarine, the captain ’s order was issued. Everyone was waiting quietly. They were like sharks waiting for opportunities. They were fierce and witty, not afraid of hardships, and calmed down.

"Aim at the target!" The captain's eyes were still attached to the sight, looking at his target intently, and when he felt fit, he gave the order.

"The torpedo is ready!" The torpedo operator replied.

"Boat torpedo tube No. 1 and 2, ready!" The captain continued.

"Torpedo 1, 2!" The torpedo operator responded.

"Fire!" The captain issued his attack order loudly.

"Fire!" The torpedo operator pressed the button to fire the torpedo.

"Boom!" Everyone in the boat heard the sound of the submarine launching a torpedo. With the submarine's trembling and the dull noise of the machinery, two torpedoes were ejected from the front of the submarine U-211 with bubbles. , Leaving their unique marks on the sea, rushing towards their targets quickly.

Unlike Prien's battleships that are stationary and parked, attacking opponents with torpedo weapons in actual combat is a trivial thing that will keep commanders busy for a while. Contrary to ordinary ideas, using torpedoes to attack another moving surface target on a moving platform like a submarine is a very complicated task.

This requires courage and patience, as well as simultaneous joint operations and some captain commanders who are born with shooting skills and talents that others never have. Most of the time, submarine officers and soldiers cooperate to complete a powerful attack that launches a torpedo.

When the sentry sentinel sees the ship on the distant horizon through a special super large telescope, they will immediately notify other officers and soldiers. If the captain decides to attack the prey that comes into their own range, they will immediately start to deal with many problems, such as Whether the ship is a friend or an enemy, a warship or a cargo ship, what is the draught?

Submarine officers will learn to distinguish the outlines of these ships, and they will carry a detailed manual with them from the hard-working spies of the National Defense Force spy agency. The manual has detailed records and marked the outline of the side, 45 degree and 60 degree heading angles of the heir. As long as the comparison is made, you can know many details of the other party.

Then it is a step further to determine the speed and direction of this distant ship, and calculate how to attack the ship with the distance and azimuth constantly changing. The position adjustment sometimes takes a few hours-direct shooting, just like Prian ’s style of play is the easiest, but this situation is actually the least common situation in combat.

This simple aiming at the bow target, then launching a torpedo, the torpedo reaches the target, a bang explodes, and then the target sinks into the seabed attack mode, it is almost impossible to appear in actual combat crossfire.

What often happens is that the submarine attacks in a vertical direction, or launches a torpedo while driving in the opposite direction, so the most common situation you encounter is to launch the torpedo at a specific angle, and then use the experience to make the torpedo Hit the target or let the target hit the torpedo.

The launch angle can be calculated very accurately and quickly, because there is a computer-like device on the submarine. This device is called a torpedo data calculator in the submarine. This mechanical calculator stores information similar to this: the position and speed of the submarine, the speed and distance of the target ship estimated by the captain, and the route. Then the machine will immediately calculate an angle based on these parameters and display it on the scale.

If the data is temporarily adjusted, this calculator will also change the corresponding angle answer, very accurate and fast. This result was immediately sent to the torpedo compartment, according to which the operator adjusted the corresponding data on the torpedo's direction indicator to set the torpedo's launch angle.

After this setting is completed, once the torpedo is launched, it will first drive a straight distance of less than ten yards, and then turn according to the special angle set by the direction indicator, and then adjust it to a straight line to rush towards the target-if the captain, calculator If the operation with the crew is accurate, and everyone has completed their work without any problems, this torpedo will hit its own target and completely destroy the ship in the distance.

The captain has estimated the parameters of the target, the calculator has also accurately calculated the angle, and the torpedo has been adjusted, so this attack has no possibility of failure. Soon, a huge explosion sound was heard in the distance The sonar soldier told the captain of the explosion he heard: "Sir! Our torpedo hit the target!"

Looking around for a week with the periscope, no other ship was found. The captain finally nodded and issued the next command: "The submarine floats! Let's go and see what ship was sunk!"

"Float! Pay attention to the course! Hold on! Hold on!" The first officer repeated the order in detail on the side.

Just two minutes later, the submarine rushed out of the water, revealing its slender posture. The hatch was opened, and a surplus of seawater spilled down, hitting the hat above the head of the person below, splashing a cold.

The German captain took off his hat, shook the water above him, and then buckled his hat on top of his head. Then he shook off his two fur coats and picked up the telescope to appreciate his masterpiece. The soldiers behind him cheered for victory.

In the distance, a British transport ship smoked billowing smoke. The whole ship was sinking slowly. On the deck of a German submarine, the huge and conspicuous billowing smoke could be seen with the naked eye. However, what I saw from the telescope was even more exciting. The British crew was madly jumping off the ship. It seemed that they knew their ship was hopeless.

Several British people were panicking the lifeboat on the boat, some were waiting anxiously, and their transport ship seemed to be breaking from the middle due to the influx and squeeze of sea water, and the fire spread on the deck like a world. hell.

"Prepare the camera! Start taking pictures!" The captain lowered his telescope and said to the first officer beside him: "Put the submarine up and grab a live mouth to ask what this is a ship to deliver. Do details. Records, do n’t be lazy! Move fast! "

"A few of you! Fill the Bofors anti-aircraft gun behind the control tower with ammunition!" The first officer nodded immediately, and then began to help the captain give orders. He shouted to the open door under his feet: "Send the rifle, we Capture the captive! "

Soon, the submarine drove to the position of the sunken ship. There were more than 20 British crew members in life jackets floating on the water. They watched with horror as the German submarine passed by them. The enemy above pointed at them with a rifle.

"Who is your head?" A German sailor asked in crappy English. All the British people soaked in the water subconsciously looked at an elderly man.

"Nothing else, we just want to ask, what is your ship transporting?" The German soldier continued to ask.

"Steel, so it sinks so fast." The British captain was pointed at the gun and told the truth without hesitation: "The steel purchased from the United States and some aluminum ingots. Don't shoot, I know I told you all. "

"Thank you." The German officer leaning on the command tower spoke a more authentic English, and then ordered the submarine away.

"Sir! Do we not carry out the necessary rescue of these shipwrecked seafarers in accordance with national laws? Doing this is a flagrant violation of international treaties and will be used by the United States and Britain to make big fuss." An officer watched more and more The British crew members floating far away on the undulating sea asked with a frown.

"Boy! The war has begun! We don't have time to be kind and don't have time to do charity, understand?" The captain sighed and said, "Go on! We started to dive in 3 minutes."

He couldn't help but be careful. This is an important channel in Britain. When there are many trade ships, there are hundreds of ships. Such an important route passing by countless ships, of course, cannot float up casually. When the destroyer saw it, it was over, but if it was seen by the merchant ship, the cooked duck flew, it was enough to make everyone depressed for a while.
