In another corner that the poor sailor couldn't see, there was actually a periscope that was watching the movement of the transport fleet. At such a subtle moment, the German submarine finally revealed all its killing moves and began to pour deadly torpedoes towards its opponents who had no chance to fight back.
The sailor who found himself on the port side also scolded the German submarine before he ran to the distance. A torpedo hit the iron plate on the side of the ship's deck below him.
The huge inertia caused the torpedo to hit the iron plate heavily, and then the shock stimulated the torpedo fuze, ignited the explosive behind, but in an instant, the excited action was completed, and the entire body of the torpedo was torn by terrible chemical energy Countless fragments that are invisible.
Without waiting for the poor sailor and those around him to realize the next thought in his mind, the exploding air waves and flames swallowed up their bodies, and then the sea water pushed away by the torpedo explosion began to vibrate repeatedly Tear, twist and destroy the ship's side.
In front of such a violent force, the human body looks so humble and small. As the shock wave spreads, these sailors near the center of the explosion are pushed high into the air, and then because of the strength is too strong, flying in this The process is interrupted into several or dozens of blocks.
There is no need to notify other ships or captains, because as long as they are not blind, they can see this gorgeous fireworks, and as long as they are not deaf, they can hear the deafening sound.
Seawater poured into the interior of the ship. A merchant ship without heavy armor could not resist this terrible weapon. The huge force that even the battleship could not resist destroyed the ship ’s supporting structure in an instant. The distortion of steel was even in The noise of the huge explosion can still be heard clearly.
The buoyancy of the two sections of the transport ship that was hit did not change in a short period of time, but in the middle, because of the large amount of water in the cargo, the weight increased sharply, but the effect of buoyancy was lost. The steel keel began to crack, and the huge, sturdy steel bar was twisted into two pieces by a more powerful force.
As the keel deformed, the strong rivets on the surrounding iron plate were squeezed out like bullets, splashing around in the cabin, flying like bullets, penetrating the chest or stomach of those unlucky sailors. There was blood infiltration in the sea water, and it became bright red and dazzling.
Just ten seconds later, the transport ship broke off from the middle, the stern and bow of both ends were raised high, and the dripping seawater was lifted off the sea surface, soaking on the bottom of the ship in the water all year round. It is full of creatures in the ocean and looks far less smooth than other parts.
"Transport ship h19 was sunk! My God! That's the left side! There are enemy submarines over there! There are enemy submarines over there!" At the core, a crew member shouted with a telescope, His shouts were filled with despair, as if death had stood above his head.
In order to protect the safety of the entire fleet, as well as to better protect important shortages, the large fleets going to Iceland all line up the ships in the fleet according to their importance: the outermost ships generally carry valuables. Food or cheap materials; further inside are people and some weapons and equipment; the core part of the ship is more dangerous to load, either oil or ammunition.
In this case, the formation of the entire fleet is already chaotic, and obviously the Germans are prepared, and the situation looks very bad-at this moment when this unlucky home arrives, if you sit again A ship loaded with 10 tons of explosives and 30 tons of artillery shells is obviously a very desperate thing.
Sure enough, before the crew of the arms transport ship studied how to improve his current situation, he saw that a transport ship in the core position was not far away and was hit by a torpedo. The water column that exploded in a flash rose at least as high as 20 floors. Accompanied by this explosion, there was a violent martyrdom that occurred in the tanker with the most oil in the entire fleet.
This huge fire that resembled the ultimate explosion blew the horn of the British collapse. Some of the transport ships that were on the edge and were very good to break away from the large forces began to evade while leaving the fleet and fled in other directions. The destroyers that were supposed to protect the merchant ships are now hurriedly dealing with the tough German submarines.
The outer perimeter of the fleet is actually not flat. Over time, the British destroyers have dropped a series of deep-water bombs and made a series of dull sounds deep in the ocean. The huge explosion repeatedly pulled the sea water, and finally let this powerful tearing force spread to a considerable distance.
However, these exploding deep-water bombs obviously did not have the effect they should have, because the location of the explosion is too far from the target they want to attack. The submarine u-47 has used its excellent speed to get rid of the British destroyer that chased it. After all, the sound of explosions in the distance affected the sonar detection of both sides. The current fighting environment is very harsh, which is conducive to the evasion of submarines.
If you let the Royal Navy rank a German ship that you hate, then the first non-German submarine. This kind of weapon felt that it should not appear in the minds of the British, this thing is simply trampling the invention of the British Empire.
To say that in the outrageous Battle of the English Channel, the British always felt that the German Navy ’s aircraft carrier fleet was invincible. They thought that if the German spy happened to kill at the critical moment, then the final winner of the naval battle must be the British Royal. navy. So even after losing the right to control the sea, or after losing the right to control the sea, the British navy is still full of confidence to win.
The Nelson spirit that has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow for a hundred years, and the arrogance and strength that have only been erected for a hundred years cannot be affected by a small setback. The only thing that impressed the British Royal Navy was the shame of the lost homeland.
They even think that the real threat to the British Royal Navy is only the German submarine, and the battleship "Marshal Redell". As for aircraft carriers, as long as the United States supports British aircraft carriers in place, it is not a big threat at all.
Unfortunately, since the ghost appeared in the North Atlantic, the British began to look squarely at their opponents. When one battleship after another sank under the torpedoes of the Germans, the British finally felt as if they were on their backs, and the uneasiness began to fill their hearts.
Now, desperate things have happened. The ghost that had only one ship has now become several ships. The technical solutions for the German ghost submarine are still in the laboratory, and there is no possibility of mass production.
Some people envisage using bait and a large number of aircraft to preset an ambush position to kill the ghost, but so far no aircraft has found the record of this ghost submarine, which is too coincident to be summed up with good luck.
The technical department analyzed that the Germans have made progress in the technology of radar miniaturization. At least the radar can be installed on such submarines, so they have avoided various sky patrol aircraft.
A large number of spies operating in France have also taken blurry long-distance photos of this submarine. From the picture, the reference object analysis shows that this submarine has a larger tonnage and cancels anti-aircraft guns and other weapons, thus reducing some underwater noise. More concealed and faster.
As for why this submarine can drive a speed of more than 15 knots underwater, and can be underwater for a long time, this can only be summarized by conjecture and inference. Britain and the United States Naval Technical Department believe that this submarine is likely to use an unknown power. Some clues indicate that this ghost submarine is equipped with a very high-performance battery system.
In addition to the ultra-high torpedo firing rate known for this submarine, it forms a rough outline of this submarine-this weapon is enough to describe it with epoch-making, at least the British and American intelligence agencies have set a high price, who can get it To the design drawings or some design drawings of this thing, the prize is 5 million US dollars.
As for why German torpedoes can directly attack oncoming ships, this is a simple technical blinding method. Two German submarines ambushed in front of the mute waiting for the other fleet to approach, through a simple calculation device on the submarine, changed the torpedo's touch explosion fuze to a timed explosion, and set the explosion time.
This simple computer is the latest product of the Turing Working Group. Although it does not meet the pre-complex calculation requirements, it can do some simple fixed calculations. It is just used on the new submarine to help set this timing fuze. The torpedo did not explode only when it touched the opposing ship's hull, but it exploded around the ship's hull when the specified time was reached.
Precisely because of this type of attack, Prian arranged two submarines to block the road in front of the British transport fleet. It was also because of the dense formation of the other's ships that increased the probability of hitting this delayed automatic explosion fuze. The British probably never imagined that the Germans used mathematical methods rather than technical means to increase their own torpedo attack patterns.
This was a technical victory, a deliberate weapon development, and a revolutionary subversion of backward tactics and equipment. If divided according to technical perspective, the German submarine has already stepped into the threshold of the modern submarine design, and the British ships and methods still stayed at the end of the poor World War I.
