Chapter 1108

Perhaps the commanders of the Allied ships who have been fighting against the German submarines for a long time in the Atlantic Ocean have the most say in how powerful the German submarines are. They are scared by this kind of mysterious wolf pack tactics. The achievements of the German ace submarines, which are just like myths, are more than enough to explain why the British and American navies have turned pale about the German submarines.

These German submarine officers and men, who usually wear sloppy clothes and like to lean against the railings of the submarine command tower, have created a great myth of annihilating ten times or even dozens of times the enemy in the Atlantic Ocean.

It can be said that every German submarine can write a novel, in which there is absolutely no lack of legend and adventure, absolutely attractive enough. And the German sailors, who were silent in the cold sea, also used their actions to fulfill their vows of fighting for their motherland to the last second.

"Second alert! We may have been targeted by a huge German submarine battle group! son of a gun! It is impossible for German submarines to appear in this sea area. Our whereabouts must have been leaked. " Putting down his telescope, the commander of the transport fleet, code named Alpine dog, frowned and complained.

On his side, an adjutant comforted: "maybe it's just a returning German submarine. This kind of unexpected thing happens here every day. A lot of people claim to have encountered a German submarine, but it turns out that it was just a whale or something. "

"I hope you're right." The commander was obviously not as optimistic as his deputy: "let the convoy continue to closely monitor the nearby waters, don't let go of any clues! It's impossible for German submarines to follow us. Two destroyers will be transferred from the rear to the left wing to reinforce the defense there! "

"Yes! General The adjutant immediately saluted and carried out the order. He just comforted his officer. He was not blindly optimistic. Any carelessness would destroy the whole transport fleet. Those terrible German wolves would never give up their fat easily.

……

"In the waters near the North Atlantic, the u-136 submarine returning from the waters near Canada sent back a message. The captain claimed that a huge allied fleet had been found in the waters near 44, covered by many escort destroyers, and was speeding up near Iceland." A German naval staff officer sent a message to Admiral dennitz at the same time.

"Hell, will their presence on this route alert the British and Americans?" Donitz took the message and looked at it carefully. Then he whispered with his hands behind his back. The discovery of the Allied transport fleet in that area is absolutely proof that the cracked allied code is indeed valid. However, there are not many German submarines on that route. If two German submarines appear there in a short time, will the Allied generals have doubts?

"We didn't specify the route for the submarine troops to return. It's an accident!" Standing next to Donitz, the staff officer heard the general ask this question and quickly explained, "if you really feel uncertain, send a telegram to captain Prynne to give up the plan and withdraw?"

"It's not worth the loss! We didn't plan to attack this fleet on a large scale. If we let them arrive in Iceland without paying any price, wouldn't it be a dereliction of duty for me as a submarine commander? " After a second thought, Donitz immediately vetoed his original plan. Then, holding the message, he told the staff, "everything is still in accordance with the original plan. Now we give the initiative to the British to consider whether to change the password!"

In this moment, Donitz thought about several problems in his mind, and finally he felt that he should not give up this trial easily. After all, this is only a small-scale submarine attack. Strictly speaking, it can only be an accident. It is impossible for the British side to change its code just because its fleet was attacked by a German submarine. Donitz is quite sure of this.

As time goes by, the sky is getting dark. Dusk is the best time for German submarines to operate. At this time, the u-47 submarines under Prinn's command have just arrived near the route of the Allied escort fleet. Because of the precise intelligence, everything is just right. Prynne's submarines maintain the periscope depth, cruising on the way of the allied fleet, sharpening their swords and waiting for their prey.

"Find the target! I see the enemy The chief officer put his eyes on the periscope and suddenly cried out. Standing beside him, prion quickly took the periscope from the chief officer's hand and put his eyes on it.

From the periscope marked full scale, he saw the huge outlines of the ships in the afterglow of the setting sun. The speed of this fleet has been increased. Obviously, it is afraid of the attack of German submarines at night, so it has made some measures in advance.

Unfortunately, these measures are still effective against the old-fashioned German ocean going submarines. It's a bit of a joke against the latest German U-type submarines. With a smile, prion gave the order: "find the allied fleet! Bow six torpedoes ready to launch. "

"Course 48, speed 22! Repeat! Course 48, speed 22, torpedo calibration complete One command after another spread inside the submarine, and everyone began to get nervous. This huge submarine swam quietly in the water like a shark. It slowly adjusted its position, and then tried to keep its route on the side of the Allied convoy.

He chose a very particular position. At this moment, the U-shaped submarine is sailing in the front left of the allied fleet. It was the most heavily defended area of the allied fleet, but it took time for the torpedoes to cruise after launch. When they arrived, they just let go of these escort ships and penetrated into the transport fleet from their weak flanks. Magnetic torpedo is a kind of torpedo which has been used on a large scale after numerous experiments in Germany. It is not a kind of long-range active guidance torpedo, but it can make some route modification in short range to attack allied ships more effectively. Of course, this kind of torpedo is not omnipotent, so the German submarine will basically mix it with the collision torpedo. With the order, the German u-47 submarine was in the most suitable position and fired up eight torpedoes, six in the bow and two in the stern. These torpedoes immediately rushed to the allied fleet like runaway Mustangs. With the launch of these torpedoes, the u-47 submarine trembled slightly, and then began to sink at full speed. Early magnetic torpedoes were easy to target the submarine that was closest to their own side. In order to avoid this kind of accidental attack, when launching magnetic torpedoes, submarines should dive immediately to increase the distance between them. Of course, this is only a preventive measure, but all the submariners consciously implemented this regulation. Because no one wants to be sunk by their own torpedoes. Even if the probability is only one in a thousand, we still don't want to gamble our lives on this tiny probability“ Dive! Dive While holding the armrest beside him, the chief officer orders the helmsman and the sailors who control the water tank to move quickly. Prion is waiting for the good news in the shaking submarine. As long as the torpedo hits the target, the sonar soldiers will hear the wonderful noise Looking at the sinking sun behind them, all the sailors of the whole "Alpine dog" convoy were filled with uneasiness. They were frightened by the warning order in the daytime and were very worried that there would be more than a dozen German submarines attacking the fleet from all directions tonight. At this time, the sky is going to be dark, but it is not completely out of sight. This is the ideal time for German submarines to launch attacks. All eyes are wide open, hoping to find their enemies ahead of time, and most people are doomed not to find what they want“ There seems to be something approaching on the left wing. It's getting dark and I can't see clearly at all! " A left-wing lookout, holding a telescope, with the help of the last touch of the sunset, frowned and reported in a loud voice. In the cabin of the destroyer not far behind him, a soldier also raised his arm: "hear the noise! It's definitely a German submarine The captain of the British destroyer was scared to death when he heard the news. After all, what he was most afraid of happened. Those haunting German submarines are very cunning. Maybe even their anti submarine destroyers will fall into their hands. But fear is one thing, waiting to die is another, so the destroyer captain quickly gave the battle order: "ring the battle alarm! Avoid torpedoes Almost at the same time when he gave the battle order, the soldier on the lookout position finally saw clearly what was in the water. So he put down his telescope and began to shout: "torpedo! Torpedo approaching port At the front of the fleet, on the command ship of the whole "Alpine dog" transport fleet, the general's heart stopped immediately after hearing the warning of the port torpedo approaching. For a moment, he frowned. Before he could say anything, he heard the huge sound of the flank of the fleet, a transport ship full of steel bars and cement, being blown into two parts. Then, just a moment later, a transport ship was hit and exploded into a gorgeous fireworks. At this time of approaching darkness, the flame lit up the entire transport fleet and plunged everyone into complete despair. There was only a sigh left in everyone's heart: "it's all over! We've been found! " For mobile phone users, please visit http://
