Chapter 739

While Ryan and others are joking with each other, others are experiencing severe tests. The main theme of war has nothing to do with warmth. On the contrary, its character is very close to that of the North Atlantic Ocean, merciless, cruel and extremely cold.

A transport ship from New York to Iceland was originally loaded with a large amount of fuel. If the fuel was delivered to the island, it would be enough for the main facilities on it to last for a long time.

However, it's a pity that this transport ship is now exploding. A fierce explosion takes place on the rough sea. The huge flames burst apart and billow on the sea. In a moment, it seems that the gorgeous heat can evaporate the sea water. Anything that can stop the fire from burning is eternal in this moment.

No one wants to stay in the middle of the burst flame, but the middle of the flame was still a huge ship on the sea a few seconds ago, so it is inevitable that there should be many people on it. Unfortunately, these people have disappeared now, and they were torn into dust at the beginning of the explosion.

In front of such tyrannical power, the death of these people can be said to be extremely merciful. They may have lost their bodies without being aware of the pain. However, it can be seen from this aspect that the destruction and creation of human beings caused by war is beyond anyone's imagination.

On the sea surface about 1500 meters away from the explosion, a submarine with very beautiful lines was floating up. The cold water flowed out from some of the submarine's outfalls, leaving a small white waterfall on the dark hull of the submarine. On the hull of the submarine, the number u-47 is a gray number which has been corroded by sea water.

Before the submarine came to the surface, someone had lifted the heavy waterproof and pressure resistant cabin door from inside, and the cold sea water dripped down on the brims of the people inside, crackling. The first soldier who got out of the submarine walked along the inner passage of the command tower to the side of the folded anti-aircraft gun.

He and the two soldiers behind him started to point the 40mm bofos antiaircraft gun at the sky, and out came a man with a white officer's hat. After he came out, he leaned against the armrest of the submarine's shell and looked at the explosion over there, his masterpiece.

Just a few minutes ago, he personally ordered to open fire and attacked the target of the explosion. When he ordered to open fire, he had no idea what was on the transport ship, maybe hundreds of workers, or just a ship of vegetables and rice. But now he can clearly judge that the ship was absolutely loaded with unimaginable oil.

"Hurry up and send a telegram to headquarters, saying that we sank a transport ship to Iceland with a lot of fuel on it." As he lit a cigarette in his mouth with a lighter, prion said vaguely to the deputy who climbed out of the ship to breathe.

The weather is so cold that if you want to come outside the submarine to breathe some fresh air, you have to put on a coat and a thick scarf. It's foggy to talk here, and the temperature is low enough to make people wrap all their clothes tightly.

No one wants to be sunk by the enemy in this kind of ghost weather, and then jump into the cold water to escape. To tell you the truth, in such a cold and harsh environment, falling into the water or sinking with his warship, just choose a way to die.

They either sink into the bottom of the sea with their ships, although they are subdued, but they are relatively fast, or they jump into the sea to escape. The way to die in this temperature is similar to those passengers on the Titanic who are soaking in the water. In more than ten minutes, at most half an hour, they may freeze to death in the cold sea.

Therefore, prien thinks that submarine officers and soldiers are better. Even if they are sunk, there can only be one way to die, which is very simple and does not need to waste their brains.

A "holiday officer" who finally got out of the submarine's cabin door handed a telegram to prion, who was smoking. Several German sailors, who were shivering by the cold wind at sea, were surrounded by each other, talking and laughing from time to time.

Since they came to this new submarine, it seems that all the threats do not exist. The deep-water bombs dropped by the other side's ships are not accurate. Moreover, they can easily get rid of the other side's entanglement with only a few maneuvers. Surrounded by the other destroyers and cruisers, prion led the u-47 submarine to come and go freely, sank a destroyer and three transport ships, and then left calmly.

He likes the feeling of playing with his opponents, just like an assassin with unique skills, who plays with his enemies with his agility. He disappeared in the dark corner, stabbed the most fatal blow, and then calmly left, leaving deep fear and despair for others who saw everything happen.

On the route between the United States and Iceland, a ghost submarine appeared. This submarine attacked the United States and British ships everywhere, but it was not afraid of the attack of deep-water bombs. Many British sailors said that this submarine did not exist. It was just a German submarine that had been sunk, constantly sinking the enemy to calm their grievances.

Even more bizarre, the spirits in the submarine vowed to sink all the visible ships, because they needed 1000 times as many souls to be buried with them. Rumors spread everywhere with their fastest speed, just like gossip.

Although experts from the U.S. and British navies were more accurate in their analysis, they believed that the Germans served a more advanced submarine and used newer technology to improve its underwater moving speed. On the other hand, the Intelligence Department of the Allied forces also confirmed this news. In the German submarine base in France, maintenance docks and covert bunkers were specially set up for this kind of submarine. Obviously, more often than not, a frightful submarine driven by the black devil will never sink can satisfy people's curiosity much more than a new German Navy submarine. Therefore, people are still more willing to believe the strange and disorderly statements than the ordinary answers given by the senior management. The reason is very simple. It's just that it's not wonderful enough. Prien took the telegram from Germany from the sailor's hand. He was too excited to speak after reading only two lines. It was hard to guess the content of the telegram from his excited appearance, so the chief officer could only restrain his curiosity and wait for prion to pass the telegram to him. He didn't wait long before he saw the message. The message was very simple, that is, four equally advanced submarines had crossed the eastern Atlantic Ocean and got close to the Icelandic waters. Together with prion's submarines, they would form a wolf pack to attack all the ships on the route between Iceland and the United States. The telegram also arranged the sea area of several submarine rounds, and drew up the signal to meet. If this meeting can be successfully completed, prion will have more and more advanced submarines in his hands. At that time, the threat of the whole wolf pack will be even more terrible, enough to make the British in the waters near Iceland depressed for a few days“ Call back now! Tell commander Donitz we've got the message! Go to the appointed sea area immediately. " Prynne raised the corner of his mouth and gave a very bright smile. Everyone who knows him well knows that whenever he shows this expression, there must be an enemy ship, as long as it's bad luck. On the sea in the distance, the fire is still burning. The poor ship has been torn into countless pieces by the blast wave in a few seconds after being hit. Now even the wreckage has disappeared, and the sharp bow has sunk into the bottomless abyss of the Atlantic Ocean. The dark smoke blocked everyone's sight, but it could not stop the transmission of radio waves. Soon, on the machine in front of the radar operator on duty inside the submarine, the alarm suddenly sounded: "woo... Woo..." "attention, all personnel! Attention, all! Enemy patrol aircraft approaching, return to submarine immediately! Two minutes later, the submarine begins to dive! Two minutes later, the submarine begins to dive! " Inside the submarine, the announcement came from the loudspeaker, and the sailors approaching the cabin door had already slid into the submarine along the iron ladder. The anti-aircraft guns over there are guarding the sailors. They have begun to fold up the useless anti-aircraft guns. Since they are equipped with air-to-air warning radar, how much use the anti-aircraft guns on submarines have become a matter of constant debate among Navy submarine commanders. Prynne's face, which was still smiling badly just now, turned into a bitter smile. After all, this is an area where enemies are concentrated. It seems that it's difficult to have a rest here. He got into the interior of the submarine, and behind him, the last mate to enter the submarine reached out and closed the heavy submarine door. In the rough sea, the seawater around the submarine began to flow into the submarine's water tank. As a large amount of seawater squeezed out the lighter air, the submarine quickly sank into the seawater at the speed visible to the naked eye. Only in a short time, the submarine's hull has disappeared, leaving only a command shell, still exposed on the water. Then the submarine command tower shell began to sink into the water with the submarine, and the white spray was churning around. Not long after, just a ship sailing on the sea, only the vent pipe and other limited long pipe, also exposed on the water. More than ten seconds later, the waves on the sea have returned to normal. It seems that there is nothing here, nothing.
