Six Hundred and Twenty One Four Torpedoes
When the battleship Yamashiro came within range of the Prien submarine, it was still sailing in a straight line. So Prien gave the order to attack without even thinking about it. He leaned his eyes on the periscope and ordered his torpedo launcher to fire: "1, 2, 3, 4 bow torpedo compartments, salvo!"
"Gudong..." With the slight tremor of the submarine, the sea water poured into the torpedo launch chamber, and a dense bubble gushed out from the launch tube, and then the torpedoes were launched one by one out of the front end of the u-shaped submarine.
"Torpedo No. 1 is launched! Torpedo No. 2 is launched! Torpedo No. 3 is launched! Torpedo No. 4 is launched!" After the u-47 submarine fired all its bow torpedoes in one go, it knew that it would definitely hit a distant target .
Beginning in February 1938, British transport ships would change their speed and course while traveling to avoid possible submarine attacks. Before Prien came to Australia, it had been almost 7 months since he had encountered such a simple driving trajectory. He calmly launched his torpedo without even making proper adjustments. It was so simple that it made people feel Incredible.
The torpedo rushed towards its target at the corresponding water depth, and drew 4 white waves on the sea surface. These waves gradually disappeared on the sea surface, as if nothing had appeared here. Prien used a periscope to cover the distant battleship, waiting for the expected huge explosion, the huge water column that he was familiar with, the fire explosion accompanied by the splashing of steel plates, this is Prien's hymn.
The ocean contains the power to destroy the world. After the torpedo explodes, the repeated extrusion of sea water is used to distort the thickest steel and the most confident structure of human beings. This is the ultimate contest between the spear and the shield, and it is no longer a pale comparison on paper. , but a real result, a result that everyone has to worship.
This is a contest between men, this is the fairest decisive battle, with life as the bet and death as the verdict. The most qualified fighters survived on the cruelest battlefields and became a misty legend for thousands of years in the future; those who failed would have to pay for their carelessness, but they would never have any chance to regret it.
"Kudo-kun, the climate in Nanyang is really hot, what the hell." Above the huge and ugly bridge of the battleship Yamashiro, a Japanese soldier was yawning in the lookout post.
The weather in Nanyang in September is still very sultry. Although there is a cool sea breeze blowing on the face, you can still feel the heat wave rolling around. The Japanese navy's snow-white outfit doesn't look very avant-garde. It can be said that because the color is too single, it is even a bit ugly.
The two lookouts on combat readiness were wearing steel helmets because they were at their posts. They looked at the sea not far away, and they were listless because they were bored. A sleepy thing. So the two of them are now yawning and drowsy.
"Isn't it worse when it rains? The vision is not good,
You can't see anything from a distance, and if you miss something, you will be beaten and reprimanded by Cao Chang. "Another soldier looked helplessly at the distant sea, put down the binoculars in his hand, and said with a mournful expression: "I don't know what to eat for a while, and there will be nothing left when I go down late. How did I end up on such an unlucky shift..."
"Hey! Kudo-kun, look what kind of fish are those four swimming over, and they are swimming very fast!" The Japanese navy soldier who spoke first asked, pointing to the distance.
"You're asking the right person about this kind of thing, I'll show you... look... look... that's a torpedo!" Kudo was so frightened that his three souls lost their souls, and almost sat down on the metal floor, He grabbed the phone and yelled into it loudly: "Quick! Hurry up and turn full rudder! Hurry up!"
Another sailor with a shorter seniority was so frightened that he couldn't even speak. He could only lie on the edge of the lookout post, looking at the four white lines, with a strange sound in his throat, facing the enemy's counterattack for the first time. Well, this man who is devoted to His Majesty the Emperor is not much better than other recruits.
"Lookout post! What the hell are you doing? Is this the way you speak to the bridge officer? Are you trying to clean the deck?" The major who answered the phone frowned. He heard his chief Saemon complain a lot. After hours, no matter how good-tempered a person is, there will be a little bit of anger.
Kudo on the bridge was so frightened that his hands were shaking. He watched the torpedo in the distance gradually approaching, and his voice changed: "Sir, sir! Fish, fish, torpedo! Turn around! Quick!"
"Torpedo? What torpedo? Can you tell me clearly?" The major officer didn't react for a while, but suddenly he felt something was wrong, and looked at the sea in the distance through the glass in front of him. Then he saw four white waves rolling, which were very close to the battleship Yamashiro.
"Sir! Sir! There's a torpedo on the side! There's a torpedo approaching on the side!" The major was obviously much better than Kudo in the lookout post, so he fully explained what happened to the Yamashiro now.
Zaemon was obviously dissatisfied with someone interrupting his venting, but when he heard the torpedo coming, he was also taken aback. But he didn't dare to waste a second, he had to use the fastest speed to avoid the Yamashiro from being hit by torpedoes. So he hurriedly ordered his helmsman to take evasive action, his voice full of despair trembling: "Hurry up and full starboard! Avoid torpedoes! Quick!"
No one knew better than him that the Japanese battleship Yamashiro was a super steamed stuffed bun with thin skin, big stuffing and no folds. Once it was hit by a torpedo, the consequences would be unimaginable. Zaemon, who knows the structure of every part of this battleship well, knows that even if only one torpedo hits an important part of the Yamashiro, the battleship will explode like a ignited gasoline barrel.
At the same time, in Prien's periscope, the huge body of the Yamashiro began to turn bit by bit. Prien sneered, because he knew that according to the speed of the torpedo and the angle at which he fired it, the Japanese battleship was doomed. Now the steering is simply a dying struggle, and it has no effect.
"It's only now that I think about turning and fleeing? Isn't it a bit late?" The first officer took the periscope from Prien, and after a glance, he grinned and said, "We have developed this time, and another battleship, I think it will be difficult for anyone to break our record again."
"It's not just difficult, our captain is probably an unsurpassable battleship killer!" An officer who controls the valve stood aside, jokingly holding the valve. There was a burst of laughter at his words, and everyone knew that the honor belonged to the entire sub, to each and every one of them.
The u-47 submarine will become a legend today, a legend that cannot be surpassed by future generations. Prien will be forever recorded in the annals of history for sinking the largest number of battleships, and the u-47 submarine will become a legend that people talk about because of these admirable achievements.
"Hit!" After Prien took over his periscope again, he didn't take his eyes off the pair of eyepieces. When he saw a huge jet of water gushing out from the side of the battleship Yamashiro, he roared out the word excitedly, and there was a burst of ecstasy in the submarine.
"Long live!" "So handsome!" "Okay!" Everyone shouted, and the whole submarine was full of shouts. Prien didn't even dissuade his subordinates, he knew that at this time, everyone needed to express their joy no matter what. The german submarine force is a legend, and from today they will be a legend in the german submarine force, whenever someone mentions submarine warfare, Prien and his u-47 submarine will be remembered, just like mentioning France will talk about Napoleon, just like talking about the Third Reich, you have to talk about the head of state, Acador.
Zaemon was thrown to the ground by the violent shaking, and when he was struggling to get up, another huge shaking made his whole face hit the floor. Immediately afterwards, he felt hot liquid flowing from his face, he didn't care to wipe it off, and struggled to get up, but the third huge explosion made him lie back on the ground again.
This time he didn't have the energy to get up again, because the back and forth collision had already made him dizzy, and his face was covered with blood, and he was seriously injured. Facts have proved that he made the right choice not to continue struggling, because the fourth explosion followed, and the huge shock caused him who was lying flat on the ground to be thrown more than one meter high, and fell to the ground again .
"Woo!" The blood on his twisted face had flowed to his neck. It can be seen that the bridge of his nose has completely collapsed, and now his face is more ferocious than a devil, and although his eyes are lax, he is more terrifying than Asura. The final bump brought him a moan, faint but recognizable of his pain.
Beside him, the major who had just answered the phone was lying there, a compass placed on the chart table was stuck in his face, and had already taken his young life. The entire Cambridge was in a mess, and everyone was tormented by four consecutive huge shocks.
"Hakaya Road!" Zaemon let out a roar like a beast, he wanted to use his command sword as a crutch angrily, and struggled to sit up. Now that the four torpedoes have hit the battleship Yamashiro, he must continue to stick to his post and struggle desperately for the last chance of the Yamashiro.
But when he was struggling, a huge explosion from inside the hull broke out again, and the entire battleship was distorted and lifted by the huge force. Zaemon knew that the unprotected ammunition depot of this battleship was still exploded, he The last scene I didn't want to see was finally staged.
