Slide 1299
Just as the future Japanese general and the future German submarine master are engaged in a long-term lingering, another submarine team also sneaked up. This is the only group tonight. Organized submarine chase. Under the cover of night, three German ocean-going submarines approached the Japanese transport fleet from the surface of the water. When approaching 2200 meters, the German submarine discovered that a Japanese destroyer was just blocking the submarine’s attack route... ...
"This situation is very sudden. The Japanese destroyer seemed to be hiding behind a certain transport ship. Then when we were about to launch an attack, this guy appeared. The situation was unexpected and it made me feel a little tricky." Captain Hexing, the German ace captain who commanded the "Fisherman" submarine team, said when recalling the situation at the time.
If they are other ace captains, they may choose to retreat temporarily and wait for the opportunity. After all, the number of Japanese destroyers is limited, and explosions have been heard from two places around the entire fleet, that is, at least two destroyers are on the move. At war with a submarine, this submarine is likely to go to support other battlefields when it realizes that it is "okay" here.
But it is a pity that this time I met Captain Hexing. This guy is known as the most fierce sea wolf in the German Navy. He likes to fight hard, and he especially likes to challenge destroyers and anti-submarine Q ships..... .. (This buddy is also a fierce man in history, killing 2 battleships and 2 cruisers...) This buddy's most NB record was to kill a destroyer in a confrontation... Of course, the artillery battle was never fought, but in the end the opponent was solved with a torpedo. And this submarine was finally abandoned. The reason why it was able to come back was because it encountered an American merchant ship...
In this buddy’s battle diary, Hexing commented on the battle like this, “Although he was forced to float up because of a malfunction in the battery pack, I have to say that this kind of fist-to-fight confrontation is really enjoyable. The fighting process is enough to fascinate any real warrior. Although this style of play is not worth promoting, I still want to try it if I have the opportunity."
This time it was obviously that he had the advantage. The first time he encountered the Japanese destroyer, Major Hexing quickly calculated each other's strengths and weaknesses. There were three submarines on his side, with 6 150MM artillery and 3 105MM artillery. On the opposite side, there are at most 4 120MM artillery pieces. He has a huge firepower advantage, and he can be reckless! True guys don’t hesitate, and if they have an advantage, they will be salted!
In addition, the outline of the submarine out of the water was originally small, and there was a dark night on my side. Because the fleet was unable to implement complete light control, it was guaranteed to sail at night, so there was light, and the slender figure of the opponent's destroyer was exposed. ..... Major Hexing felt that if he didn't do it this time, he would really regret it for a lifetime.
Of course, this is not a simple personal hobby. It is a passionate decision. For submarine operations, it is always better to use naval guns to attack merchant ships than torpedoes. After all, the number of torpedoes is small, and the reload cycle is too long. There are few destroyers in Japan, and there are many submarines on our side. The two fast battleships are indeed fierce, but it is estimated that they may not show up in this chaotic night battle. After all, God knows if there is a submarine right next to the Japanese battleship. Therefore, the possibility of them firing directly is very small, and because of the darkness and the blocking of the fleet, it is really not easy to attack a target as big as a submarine.
As a result, before the Japanese destroyer had reacted, the "fisherman" submarine squad that transmitted the signal by radio had already spread out like three hungry wolves toward the destroyer in the distance!
"It's been a long time since I felt like this, I can feel my blood is boiling!" A tall German sailor stood on the wet deck. It stands to reason that 1.95 meters tall is too big for a submarine soldier. But because Major Hexing thought that his submarine’s deck gun needed a more powerful human loader, he left it on the submarine.
After the three artillery groups neatly adjusted the artillery, the gunners opened the ammunition storehouse located under the deck gun, and brought out the artillery shells and the propellant packaged in copper. Everything is ready.
"1750 meters!" After the gunner reported the distance, the attack order was issued, and Major Hexing's U175 submarine fired its first shell!
The thick and long 150MML35 barrel retreated suddenly, and a huge fireball ejected from the muzzle. The distance between the two sides was not far, and the target was still 80 meters long... So much so that the shell hit the destroyer Chusuki in the first shot!
The destroyer did not have any armor, so this high-explosive bomb received its effect. The roaring shells successfully blew up half of the first snow chimney into the sky, and after the sudden shelling, the first snow of the first snow The reaction was not to fight back, but to try to dodge... Because in the minds of the Japanese, they never thought that submarines would engage in artillery battles with destroyers... Coupled with the **** massacre before nightfall, this Japanese destroyer thought it had encountered a German capital ship. The close-range artillery battle is equivalent to fighting a bayonet. If one party intends to go, then his result is mostly to be overtaken by the enemy and then easily stabbed to death!
In fact, this was indeed the case. From the moment the destroyer Chuxue had the idea of screaming, the result of the battle had already started. The other two submarines, U196 and U177, were not to be outdone ~ www.novelhall.com~ and quickly went into battle. Three shells hit the poor destroyer almost at the same time, easily tearing apart the fragile shell of the destroyer. 2 The shells almost hit the same position, smashing all the Japanese soldiers in half of the bridge into a piece of charred meat! The third round directly destroyed a 4.7-inch cannon.
The barrage fired alternately by the three warships quickly covered the target. Piles of artillery shells exploded on the warship and the surrounding sea, boiling the surrounding sea water. This period of time seems to be very long, but in fact Only a few minutes, and this time Chuxue finally realized that the opponent is not a capital ship, but a submarine! Because the artillery fired at a very close distance, the Japanese crew on the Hatsuki could already vaguely see the attacker. And if it’s a battleship, it’s obviously abnormal if the main gun has not been used for so long!
When Xue Xue had regained its courage to prepare for the battle, it was too late. Two 6-inch shells successfully entered the boiler chamber and directly killed the boiler in half! White high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor filled the cabin and spewed out from the breach. The flames of picric high-explosive bombs began to spread on the deck. How big is a destroyer? Simply washing the deck with high explosive bombs is deadly enough!
