"Notify the situation." Gisele asked the deputy captain aloud as soon as he got into the command module.

"Captain, the listening room report found that there was a ship coming to us directly in front of it. It was all a high-speed spiral award. It should be a battleship. Based on our current position and speed, I calculated it and we will definitely contact them." Katherine answered seriously with a route map: "Captain. Our current position is very passive."

Gisele took the route map and walked to the chart table of his command post. At this time, Xu Jun also drilled through the pressure cabin and entered the command cabin.

"Marshal has entered the command module." The captain of the sea yelled aside. All officers and soldiers in the command module nodded to Xu Jun.

"Everyone please continue their work." Xu Jun waved his hands to the officers and soldiers, instructing them to continue their duties, and then he walked to Giselle's side.

"How's the situation, Mr. Captain." Xu Jun asked Gisell's slightly frowning brow.

"It's not good. Now we are in the gap between the two restricted areas. On one side is the combat patrol area of ​​the Luftwaffe. If we enter, we may be found because we don't have enough electricity to keep diving for so long. And the other On one side is the Norwegian minefield. We entered to find death. I chose the most hidden route, a narrow blind zone. I can’t figure out how to meet the enemy here.” Gisele said suspiciously. .

"Have you confirmed that you are an enemy?"

"Yes, Marshal, there are not many warships patrolling the sea in the German Navy, at most large patrol boats or torpedo boats, and they will never choose this route to patrol."

"You mean this is a hidden route?" Xu Jun asked.

"Yes. Your Excellency Marshal. Now I want to raise the submarine to the depth of the periscope, use the periscope to determine the target type, and then consider the countermeasures later." Gisele respectfully said to Xu Jun.

"You are the captain, it's up to you. You don't need to ask for my opinion, I am still a layman in submarine warfare."

"You are too humble." Giselle nodded and turned to give the order: "The engine started to slow down, the half-car moved forward, and the submarine rose to the depth of the periscope. Mr. Catherine, ordered all to enter the combat position."

"Observe, Mr. Captain. The engine decelerates and advances at half speed. Starts to float, 30 meters. 25 meters. 20 meters. 15 meters. 12 meters. Stops floating, the elevator returns to its original position and remains stable. Captain! We have reached the periscope Depth." Catherine reported loudly.

"Raise the periscope and listen to the distance reported by the studio." Giselle then ordered.

"Observe. Mr. Captain. Raise the periscope." Catherine walked to a control panel on the wall and pressed a button.

"The periscope has risen, Mr. Captain." With the sound of an electric motor, the periscope slowly rose from the algae well in the middle of the command cabin, and the stainless steel sight shell shimmered.

"This is the listening room. The enemy fleet is ahead of us, bearing 012, speed 15 knots, direction 070." Wolfgen reported in the intercom.

"Okay, let's see what we met." Giselle turned the brim of his soft combat hat back and then leaned on the periscope's eyepiece to take a closer look.

"It's a small fleet." Giselle turned the override switch on the handle.

"A large battleship should be a cruiser. The four destroyers are still unable to distinguish the class, but from the appearance they should be British warships. The distance is 10,000 meters and the speed is about 15 knots. They are doing steering maneuvers. They should also Turning back, we are in trouble." Gisele said solemnly.

"They are doing maneuvering. We are too slow to get out of their course. They will find us. Captain, what should we do now." Catherine was recording the scale reading displayed on the periscope. Asked nervously.

"Calibrate the enemy's position and calculate the time of contact." Gisele ordered coldly.

"Observe, captain." The navigator on the side quickly marked the approximate location of the enemy on the chart, and then took out a slide rule and calculated it on a draft paper. Giselle turned the periscope in a circle and looked towards the back of the submarine.

"They also found the fleet, and the periscopes of u38 and u43 also rose."

"Captain, we will enter the effective attack distance in ten minutes, whether to attack." Catherine asked aside.

"We will enter the enemy's antisubmarine patrol circle in eighteen minutes. The captain." The captain of the ship also obtained the data.

Giselle did not answer them, he came to Xu Jun. "My marshal, we are now in a very big trouble. I'm very sorry for the route I chose to put you in danger."

Without waiting for Giselle to finish, Xu Jun smiled and interrupted Gisele's words.

"Captain Giselle, I know what you want to say. Can we not avoid the conflict with the other party now? Is it possible to take covert measures."

"Sorry, we are on the other side’s route now. At our current speed, it is impossible to get out of their detection range before the other side finds us. The depth of the sea here also exceeds our maximum diving depth, The concealed tactics on the bottom cannot be used." Giselle replied.

"Then fight with them." Xu Jun continued to say with a smile: "Since the battle cannot be avoided, then we should fight bravely. There is no other second way."

"But the general, they have four destroyers and one cruiser. Our chances of winning are not high and may be..."

"Captain Gisell, why have you suddenly become weak. Haha. Please don't worry about me. Since the enemy is already in front of us, no matter how strong he is, even if we will lose our lives for it, we should all Face him bravely. We are soldiers, and dying when fighting the enemy is the best destination for soldiers. Fight, my captain. If God is destined to die today, I will smile to face death. , Because I was dead on the battlefield, a German marshal should fall on the front line of the battle, not on the way to escape. So, my captain, rest assured to fight, maybe you can create Miracle, because I have not received the notice that God has called me, how could I die in the hands of those small warships. If I want to kill me, I have to pay a high price. It is impossible for the miser of a few boats to hurt me. To get rid of me, at least I need their entire navy, ha ha ha ha."

Xu Jun's words relieved the entire command cabin staff, and everyone's faces showed a smile of understanding. Yes, there is nothing else to worry about with this God's apostle. Lucky and miracles have always been with this virtuous God, and this time there will be no exception. Maybe it can really do miracles again.

"Hear the words of the marshal, we have to fight for the honor of the soldiers. Although I am not as great as the marshal, but there are still too few warships to kill my submarine, hahaha." Jun respectfully saluted a military salute, and then turned around with enthusiasm and called to the subordinates in the command cabin.

"Yeah, why should I be a battleship." Catherine also said jokingly.

"I want to use these small broken warships to deal with our u37. It's almost the same as dragging out their local fleet." The captain also raised his head from the chart and said with a smile.

"Okay, everyone is ready. We are going to surprise them." Giselle pounced on the periscope again to observe.

"They are about to start their next turn now. When they turn, they will have a straight line of about three thousand meters, which is enough for us."

"Captain Giselle, can you contact the other two submarines?" Xu Jun said suddenly.

"Ah, what, oh, yes, I can contact them with a light signal." Giselle was asked by Xu Jun, but he immediately responded and answered.

"Then send them a signal. I order that the entire fleet and the enemy start a war. Do not control their own operations during the battle. They can each attack according to their own judgment. This is a siege, zi lure, zi lure, I will personally award medals to the submarine with the highest record in this battle. Also, their torpedoes should have the same problem as us, you remember to remind them to turn off the magnetic fuze at the depth. Just send them to them, okay? ?"

"Surrounding? Haha, it will be a tough hunt, Your Excellency Marshal. You are right, if they follow us like this, then they will not be able to exert their full strength."

"Can they be sent to them?"

"Oh, of course. Obey, my marshal."

Giselle quickly turned the periscope and then pressed the signal light switch on the handle to pass Xu Jun's words to the other two submarines.

"Okay, they received it. U38 is leaving the current route. It is now putting away the periscope. Erich is really a cunning guy, I don’t know what he wants to do this time. U43 has also begun to turn. Well, now It was our turn to take action. Lieutenant Catherine, put away the periscope, we turned the rudder 30 degrees and advanced at full speed. I hope to occupy a good position. I ordered the first torpedo compartment to be prepared, and the first and second launch tubes were replaced with t1 torpedoes and torpedoes. Shift to high gear. What we are dealing with is that the warships are not the merchant ships that are crawling like that." Giselle ordered loudly.

"Observe, Captain." Catherine walked towards the periscope cāo longitudinal panel.

"Wait a minute." Xu Jun said a little embarrassedly on the side. "Can you show me what the enemy ship is like? To know that I have never observed the enemy ship with a periscope."

"Ah, my marshal, of course, why didn't you say it early. But you haven't seen much time, and if we get closer, we may be caught by the enemy's watchman's trail of the periscope." Giselle hurriedly Give way.

"Soon, I just want to see." Xu Jun quickly went to the periscope, he also learned Giselle wear a hat, put his eyes on the eyepiece and looked out.

"Marshal, the enemy is now in this position." Giselle turned the periscope to the British fleet.

"It's still far away, so you can magnify the lens several times." Xu Jun quickly learned to toggle the magnification conversion dial. The black smoked dots in the eyepieces suddenly turned into a majestic fleet before Xu Jun's eyes.

The two large destroyers were separated by a distance of one to two kilometers, one left and one right in the front. In the middle of the back was a huge battleship with a very high chord, painted in black and gray camouflage. There are tall one-legged cross masts at the front and back, and the mast wall is very high. The superstructure does not look at all streamlined. It has a large square ship bridge, with two huge main turrets on each side, three tall chimneys sitting in the middle of the battleship, and a huge one behind the chimney. Seaplane. There are also two destroyers behind the battleship, one left and one right. The little fleet was swaying forward on the sea.

Xu Jun left the periscope, and then Katherine pressed the vertical button to lower the periscope from the sea.

"What do you think. My marshal." Gisele asked.

"It's wonderful. I didn't recognize what level of battleship it was, but I knew it was qualified to be our prey, hahaha."

"Yes, my marshal, that's a London-class heavy cruiser. Looks like his painter should be Devonshire, a big 13,000 ton. Those destroyers are not good, aren't they? The s level is the v level, and they are all old-fashioned goods. It is no wonder that their most advanced tribal level was engraved by you at Dunkel, and now they can only send these things out." Picked up the phone in the cabin. "Wolfgen, if the other party turns, notify me immediately."

"Observe, Mr. Captain."

"Be sure to pay close attention to each other's movements."

"I see, Mr. Captain."

Giselle put down the microphone of the intercom and then ran to the chart table with a ruler to mark the attacking route on the chart.

"From the current reaction of the enemy, we can engage in a sneak attack. They did not open their active sonar, indicating that they have not found us yet. According to our current route, we can enter the launch site before them and ambush. If there is no accident, I believe we can kill the cruiser." Catherine said excitedly.

"No, the first thing we have to deal with is the destroyers. The heavy cruiser’s armor is about 111 millimeters. Although our torpedo can tear such thick armor, it needs three shots to sink her. The above hits will do. We have to shoot all the four torpedoes in the first torpedo compartment to achieve this effect. Then we will not have torpedoes to counter the counterattacks of those destroyers. The cruiser only needs to injure her. We can kill her slowly after we destroy the destroyer." The captain said on the side.

"No matter what the target is, I will only attack the one that was the easiest to attack at the time. The situation on the surface of the water is changing, and what plans are mentioned now is fantasy." Giselle prevented the discussion of the two subordinates in one sentence.

"Captain, the torpedo is ready. We are about to enter the attack position in three minutes."

"Good, how are the other two submarines."

"It's not clear, they all seem to have disappeared."

"Well, it seems that they have also found their attack position. My marshal, now we only have to wait patiently for the enemy to enter our muzzle." Gisele said to Xu Jun with a smile.

"Haha, I have patience. You have to remember the torpedo depth problem. Don't hit the bottom of the sea again." Xu Jun said with a smile: "Hopefully we can succeed, otherwise there will be hundreds of them in a few minutes." The deep-water bomb fell on our head."

"Relax, my marshal."

The u37 was moving towards the scheduled launch position at a maximum speed of 7 knots in 15 meters of water. She drew a beautiful arc on the chart. When she reached the launch position, she turned off the engine. The large ocean-going submarine slid forward a few hundred meters before stopping.

Now u37 is hovering just a few meters from the sea, waiting for her prey to arrive. She floats there silently, except for a few bubbling bubbles from the open torpedo launchers from time to time. . The sound of the engine of the rumbling battleship in the distance was already clearly arguable, and the rhythmic screams of the seawater when the warship was agitated at high speed hit the hard shell of the submarine.

Suddenly, a large group of high-pressure air bubbles were ejected from the torpedo launcher, and then two silver torpedoes successively left the launch tube. They paused in the seawater for a while, as if they were not used to the cold water. The temperature, followed by a scream of the propeller, two torpedoes swiftly moved forward, and began to scramble to cheer towards their goal. Before waiting for the first two shots to leave the submarine's field of vision, two more torpedoes were launched.

After launching all the first torpedoes, the u37 came back from the dead, and she began to slowly leave her current position. Two 1000-horsepower motors began to push the large submarine towards the next attack position.
