Chapter four hundred and eighty-two (two)

The shells came like heavy rain, hitting the Germans, constantly splashing and splashing, but no shot hit!

Just like firing tank guns on land, it mainly relies on optical aiming, and it is quite particular to hit the target.

Take the tank player for example. If you haven't seen any chariot leader firing in the tank in a rush, it will definitely not hit. You have to stop and aim within 500 meters.

And now? It is at sea, the German in front of him, because his power system is damaged and he is slow to move, with a speed of only about 10 knots. In this case, the accurate shooting of the German fire is undoubtedly higher. Moreover, the German's main target is the warship that has already caught up with it and appears on its side.

This will facilitate the advantages of artillery and also facilitate aiming. You must know that the relative speed of navigation in the same direction is the lowest.

At the same time, on the other hand, in the development of sights, Germany's technology is advanced, their optical technology is extremely advanced, and the sights they manufacture are highly accurate.

The British side is not good. Almost all the big guys behind are rushing at full power. During this high-speed voyage, they still want to hit the German? Don’t joke, just the hull shaking left and right can make the shells empty!

So, Stanger was not worried that the other party could hit him.

In fact, in naval battles, it is very common to shoot each other. It is really lucky to shoot each other. It is a good idea to shoot hundreds of shells.

In this case, the Germans seemed to be protected by God. The first shot hit can be explained by luck. The second time, he actually hit one!

Moreover, all the shells on our side were wiped out.

On Queen Elizabeth, General Tovey's eyes were on fire, and he looked at the Germans, who were safe and sound in the first round of volleys on his side. His voice appeared loudly on the radio: "Scall, continue to volley!"

At this time, what are you waiting for? Keep firing and killing the other party!

No one noticed that on the sea, a small periscope was baptized by the waves.

The u-47 submarine, after launching the first hydrogen peroxide torpedo, maneuvered and reoccupied the attack position. In the periscope, Prien saw the big guy.

There are six torpedoes on u-47, including only one T11 torpedo, so there is no need to save any more. Facing a big guy, you have to shoot the torpedo out as soon as possible and get another result!

It’s too much to deal with merchant ships. Sometimes it’s solved by deck guns. However, it’s definitely necessary to attack with all your strength when dealing with such a big guy with tens of thousands of tons!

A t11 torpedo and three ordinary t2 torpedoes, as sea water poured into the torpedo tube, one by one, swam out of the tube and rushed towards the huge battleship.

Among them, the t11 torpedo was the fastest, and soon reached the highest speed of 48 knots, and rushed towards Queen Elizabeth!

During World War I, German submarines were already the most elite, and in World War II, German submarine forces will also play a greater role!

Technically, they have more advanced torpedoes that can tear the bottom of large warships!

The sea was still turbulent, and the t11 torpedo with a fixed depth of five meters was attacking the opponent.

If you look at it from the outside, it is very strange, just like the old Chinese saying, "The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind it."

The British naval formation was beating the Germans, while a German submarine, behind them, launched a sneak attack on them.

Bubbles appear at the tail, which is an inevitable disadvantage of thermally powered torpedoes. It is a heat engine inside, so exhaust is required. If in ordinary cases, these bubbles can easily expose the position of the torpedoes.

But it’s different now, because the waves are rolling on the sea surface and the waves are flying several meters high. In this case, the situation is five meters below the sea surface, and it is impossible to see at all!

The periscope was also constantly blocked by waves, Major Prien staring at him, trying to see if the target could be sunk by himself.

No, the other party is slowing down!

Prien's heart sank. Just now, the other party was chasing at high speed. He set the launching elements of his torpedo according to the opponent's speed, but now the other party has slowed down.

The new generation of torpedoes are still under development. The current torpedoes still do not have advanced guidance systems. Most of them are self-aero torpedoes. That is to say, when the torpedo is launched, they sail in a straight line, just like a pistol fires bullets. For this kind of attack, you must calculate the speed, direction, etc. of both sides in advance and conduct a precise collision.

But now, the other party slowed down!

The fastest t11 ​​torpedo swam away from the opponent's front. This precious torpedo did not achieve any results!

The second torpedo also swam away from the opponent's front, and both torpedoes were destroyed.

"Boom!" The third torpedo finally met the other party, and an explosion occurred at the head of the other party's ship.

The explosion stunned the British. At this time, the entire British fleet was slowing down to have higher accuracy to attack the Germans.

But now, Queen Elizabeth has been shot. The German gun was not aimed at it, which means that the other party has other attack methods!

"Keep the German submarine!" said Admiral Tovey.

He understood immediately that as the hull swayed, he knew that he had been torpedoed, but now, when his alarm was issued, he was still in a dilemma.

Anti-ships and anti-submarine are different. Now they are in an anti-ship column. If they want to switch to anti-submarine, they need to continue to reduce their speed and even conduct z-type routes to repeatedly release anti-submarine deep bombs. In this way, the German ship will flee.

It is obvious that the German submarines are here to rescue the Germans!

"Boom!" The second explosion followed the first sound, and the two torpedo explosions caused certain damage to Queen Elizabeth. However, as the damage tube progressed rapidly, the battleship could still hold on after carrying two torpedoes!

"Order Birmingham to withdraw from the pursuit formation, carry out anti-submarine operations, and find out the German submarines!" Admiral Tovey's order was quick: "The rest of the warships will fire volleys!"

The speed was fast just now, but it was knocked away. This time I slowed down and I must not let it go!

"Boom, boom!" With the high rate of fire, the German shooting began again. This time, it aimed at the cruiser Southampton.

Whoever rushes up will beat him up!
