The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 772: Unexpected two

"Let the merchant ship stay in place!" The British captain ordered again. At this time, because of the Comet's obstruction, the British on the armored cruiser did not know the nature of the attack, nor whether it was launched by the merchant ship. So the British asked the other party to stop.

  However, at this time, Berger commanded the Sea Wolf to swiftly drive to the ambush area of ​​the U19 submarine, and he circled an arc. If the British want to catch up with their opponents as soon as possible, obviously they should go straight.

   "There is a submarine nearby, we must leave!" In order to prevent the opponent from firing, Berger sent a clear telegram.

"When sailing straight to 10 kilometers away, you must be within our line of sight, otherwise we will open fire!" The British on the Breslau are not stupid. The twin 9.2-inch main guns on the ship have a range of 10 kilometers. Above, after walking 10 kilometers, the submarine is almost out of the range of underwater ambush. But it is still within the range of his main gun, and as long as he can stare at the opponent, he can guarantee that the opponent cannot escape his palm!

The Seawolf walked in a curve, the British walked in a straight line, taking short cuts, and the fast-moving party would naturally catch up with the opponent easily, but invisibly, the distance between the Breslau and the two ambushing U-boats Was quickly pulled closer!

"Slow down, little guy, slow down!" The U19 submarine rushed towards its prey like a dormant cheetah. The output power of the battery pack reached its maximum, and the two propellers began to rotate rapidly. The speed was immediately from the normal 4 knots. Increased to 7 knots, but still slower for armored cruisers sailing at a speed of more than a dozen knots.

   "Let the opponent face, let's play the side!" Major Otto commanded, holding his nervous mood.

   Just when U19 was preparing to seize the position, U32 had launched an attack. The three torpedoes were ejected from the torpedo tube by compressed air. After the engine was started, exhaust gas was dispatched from the mine body, forming three tail lines with obvious tracks. In fact, the U32's attack state is not good. The distance is 1500 meters, which is a little far away, and the location is very bad. The Breslau has only a very small side projection.

Although the Brest was a little caught off guard this time, she still managed to avoid this round of lightning strikes. The two steering gears at the stern were hit to the maximum. Because of the huge inertia when turning, the entire warship tilted to a certain extent. Two torpedoes passed through the bow and stern respectively, while the third torpedo leaked from the bottom of the hull. It seems that the depth of this torpedo is somewhat problematic.

   "Our plan seems to have failed..." Major Berger looked at the armored cruiser Brest, which was moving at high speed in the distance, with a gloomy expression. In theory, there are two submarines that can ambush this armored cruiser, but in fact, because of the position problem, only one can launch an attack, and when the opponent's vigilance is greatly increased, the other submarine wants to get closer to 1. Within a kilometer, there is little chance of another lightning strike.

"Leave this sea area and accept inspection!" The British signaled again. Obviously, there was a German submarine in this sea area, but the British still did not intend to give up this goal. The British captain's instinct told him that this ship There seems to be a problem!

"We can't leave this sea area. Without the cover of a submarine, we can't beat this guy." It took less than fifty seconds for Berger to decide on the next plan. "The battleship slows down, the boiler chamber maintains pressure, and prepares Fight!" The only chance for Seawolf was lightning strikes, so he had to get closer to the opponent. Otherwise, the 9.2-inch naval gun is not something Seawolf can resist.

The twin 9.2-inch naval guns of the Brest have turned to the target. At the same time, the warship is also walking on the zigzag anti-submarine route at sea. The two sides are constantly approaching, and when it is close to 3000 meters, the Sea Wolf The 150MM gun hidden under the false deck suddenly fired, aiming at the Brest. At the same time, the smoke canister on the battleship began to emit puffs of thick smoke, and the battleship was quickly hidden in the smoke and sea fog when the visibility was rather sad.

At a distance of 3 kilometers, two shells landed on the Brest in the first round of attack. This is actually nothing to the armored cruiser. If it weren't for the fact that one shell killed the antenna, it would almost It has no effect.

"Damn it, kill them!" Brest moved like an angry tiger, but the captain was obviously also a veteran. Although the opponent was weak, he could accelerate quickly and release smoke. It's not a good crop. The Brest was downwind at this time, and thick smoke was coming, making the British feel a little uneasy.

   "We should retreat a bit." Following the captain's order, Brest began to retreat south, hoping to pull a distance. The British also deliberately avoided the area previously attacked by the U32 submarine, but accidentally entered the attack range of the U19 submarine! The British retreated slowly. He didn't know whether the Seawolf had gone or was still waiting for an opportunity in the smoke. The British didn't want to take risks or let the prey just run away. The result was Staying behind, let the assassins hidden in the ocean have a chance!

"800 meters, 2 o'clock direction, torpedo set depth 5 meters, 4 torpedo fan attacks!" Otto looked at the British armored cruiser in the middle of the cross in the periscope and decisively issued an attack command. At this time, the U19 submarine once again speeded up Increased to the limit~lightnovelpub.net~ Finally 4 torpedoes were shot at a distance of 600 to 800 meters!

  Then, the submarine began to dive quickly, and Major Otto began to calculate the time. At 10, 20, and 40 seconds, the submarine hydrophone received a violent vibration! "It's like the sound of water boiling in a pot. After the explosion came from the entire hydrophone, there was a burst of bubble explosions. We finally solved this difficult opponent." Otto recalled afterwards.

Two torpedoes hit the cunning hunter almost at the same time. The torpedo exploded into one piece. A huge 25-meter-long hole appeared on the waterline at the rear of the battle line. The energy produced by the simultaneous explosion of nearly 400KG of explosives was Water is difficult to release, and water is difficult to compress. Energy is continuously transmitted to the hull through the water flow. The high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor of several hundred degrees Celsius is like an invisible long sword, directly cutting the rear hull of this cruiser into the entire warship. !

  A large amount of seawater poured into the hull of the ship, and the Brest lifted the bow high almost instantly. Through the periscope, Major Otto could even see the various water creatures attached to the bottom of the front of the battleship! "We won, the crisis is resolved!" Principal Otto sighed and ordered the submarine to float. Now, the U19 submarine's battery has only about 20% of its power left.

  "Welcome to our first batch of prisoners of war." After the Seawolf salvaged some British prisoners of war, she immediately left the sea with three submarines, leaving the British North Sea Defense Line behind.
