772 Unexpected 2

"Let the merchant ship stop in place!" The British captain ordered again. At this time, due to the blocking of Comet, the British on the armored cruiser did not know the attributes of the attack, nor did they know whether it was launched by the merchant ship. So the British asked the other party to stop.

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

"There are submarines nearby, we must leave!" In order to prevent the other party from firing, Beger sent a clear telegram.

"Sailing straight to 10 kilometers away, you must be within our sight, otherwise we will open fire!" The British on the Breslau were not stupid either. The twin 9.2-inch main gun on the ship had a range of more than 10 kilometers. After walking out of 10 kilometers, it almost had an ambush range of the submarine. However, it was still within the range of our main gun. As long as you can keep a close eye on the opponent, he could ensure that the opponent could not escape his palm!

The Sea Wolf was walking in a curve, the British were walking in a straight line and taking shortcuts. The fast side naturally could easily catch up with their opponents, but invisibly, the distance between the Breslau and the two ambushed U-boats was quickly narrowed!

"Slow down, little guy, slower!" The u19 submarine rushed towards its prey like a dormant cheetah. The output power of the battery pack reached the maximum. The two propellers began to rotate quickly, and the speed immediately increased from a normal 4 knots to 7 knots, but it was still a little slower for armored cruisers with a speed of more than a dozen knots.

"Let the other party face the front, we hit the side!" Major Otto ordered to suppress his nervous mood.

Just as u19 was about to seize the position, u32 had already launched an attack. Three torpedoes were exited from the torpedo tube with compressed air. After the engine was started, exhaust gas was sent out from the lightning body, forming three tail lines with obvious paths. In fact, the attack status of u32 was not good, with a distance of 1,500 meters, a bit far, and the position was very bad. The Breslau only had a very small side projection.

Although the Brest was caught off guard this time, it still successfully avoided the lightning strike. The two servos at the stern were hit to the maximum. Due to the huge inertia during steering, the entire warship had a certain degree of inclination. Two torpedoes were rowed through the bow and stern respectively, while the third torpedo leaked from the bottom of the hull. It seemed that the torpedo had some problems with the stability of the torpedo.

"Our plan seems to have failed..." Major Berger looked at the armored cruiser Brest, which was maneuvering at high speed in the distance. In theory, there are two submarines that can ambush the armored cruiser, but in fact, due to the position issue, only one can launch an attack. And when the opponent's vigilance increases greatly, the other submarine will not have a chance to launch a lightning strike again if it wants to get closer to within 1 kilometer.

"Leave this sea area and be inspected!" The British signaled again. It was obvious that 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 intuition told him that the ship seemed to have some problems!

"We cannot leave this sea area. Without the cover of submarines, we can't fight this guy." Berger took less than fifty seconds to decide the next plan, "The warship slows down, the boiler warehouse keeps pressure, and prepare for battle!" The only chance of the Sea Wolf is only lightning strike, so he must pull in the distance with his opponent. Otherwise, the 9.2-inch naval gun cannot be resisted by the Sea Wolf.

The head and tail of the Brest had turned to the target, and at the same time, the warship was also walking a zigzag anti-submarine route on the sea. Both sides were constantly approaching. When they were approaching 3,000 meters, the 150mm cannon hidden under the fake deck suddenly opened fire, aiming at the Brest. At the same time, the smoke tanks on the warship began to spray thick smoke. In the situation where the visibility was tragic, the warship quickly hid in the smoke and sea fog.

At a distance of 3 kilometers, two shells fell on the Brest in the first round of attack, which was nothing to the armored cruiser. If it weren't for one shell, it would have almost no effect.

"Damn it, kill them!" The Brest moved like an angry tiger, but the captain was obviously a veteran. Although the other party was weak, judging from the ability to accelerate quickly (maintain the steam pressure.) and release smoke, the other party was not a good person. The Brest was in a downwind at this time, and thick smoke rolled over, making the British feel a little uneasy.

"We should retreat a little." With the captain's order, Brest began to retreat south, hoping to get a distance. The British deliberately avoided the area where the U32 submarine was attacked, but unexpectedly entered the attack range of the U19 submarine! The British slowly retreated, and he was not sure whether the Sea Wolf left or was still waiting for an opportunity in the smoke. The British neither wanted to take risks nor let the prey run away like this. The result of this was to be staggering, giving the assassins hidden in the ocean a chance!

"800 meters, at 2 o'clock, the torpedo is set to a depth of 5 meters, and 4 torpedo fan-shaped attacks!" Otto looked at the British armored cruiser in the middle of the cross in the periscope and issued a decisive attack order. At this time, the U19 submarine once again increased its speed to the limit, and finally fired 4 torpedoes at a distance of 600 to 800 meters!

Then, the submarine began to dive rapidly, and Major Otto began to calculate the time. In 10 seconds, 20 seconds, and 40 seconds, the submarine's water hearing device received a violent vibration! "Just like the sound of boiling a pot, after the explosion came from the entire water hearing device, there were bursts of bubbles. We finally solved this difficult opponent." Otto recalled afterwards.

Two torpedo hit this cunning hunter almost at the same time. The holes generated by the torpedo exploded were connected into one piece. A huge hole of 25 meters appeared at the rear water line of the front line. The energy generated by the explosion of nearly 400kg of explosives at the same time was difficult to release in the water. The water was difficult to compress. The energy was continuously transmitted to the hull through the water flow. The high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor of hundreds of degrees Celsius was like an invisible sword, directly cutting the entire warship into the rear hull of the cruiser!

A large amount of sea water poured into the inside of the hull, and the Brest lifted the bow of the ship high in an instant. Through the periscope, Major Otto could even see various aquatic creatures attached to the bottom of the front of the warship! "We won, the crisis was lifted!" Major Otto sighed and ordered the submarine to float. Now, the battery of the U19 submarine is only about 20% of the battery.

"Welcome to our first batch of prisoners of war." After salvaging some British prisoners of war, the Sea Wolf immediately left the sea with three submarines, leaving the British North Sea defense line behind.
