Chapter 1297 Escape from the tiger’s mouth 1
Use shallow fixed-depth bombs to force the submarine to dive, and then gradually increase the fixed depth to eventually crush the submarine to death. This is the strategy of anti-submarine warfare. Of course, if the submarine directly dives to a depth of nearly 100 meters, then as of now It is difficult to explode at a high level, but don’t forget that the battery and oxygen inside the submarine are limited, and anti-submarine warfare is sometimes calculated in hours. It depends on who consumes more energy than whom! A submarine does not know the situation on the surface when it is underwater. God knows whether there will be any destroyers on the surface before the battery is exhausted. This is a game, a psychological and tactical game!
As a result, the historical Wolf King and the Japanese Navy's admiral had their first battle in the depths of the ocean due to an unexpected combination of circumstances. Submarine VS destroyer is worth watching.
There were no hedgehog bombs or anti-submarine mortars in this era (this statement is not accurate). Some are just anti-submarine depth bombs. The kind that rolls down along the guide rail, or the kind that is pushed down manually... After arriving at the diving area of U190, Nagumo Chuichi also tried to find the submarine with a hydrophone. However, aquatic sound was not very reliable in the first battle. In addition, Dönitz deliberately set the speed of the submarine in advance. So the noise is very low. So, after hanging around for a while, Nan Yunzhong began to cover the scope of the main film.
Round depth bombs were thrown down along the guide rails one by one. After more than ten seconds, huge water columns rose into the sky in the path of the submarine! The violent explosion even made the Japanese naval officers and soldiers on the destroyer "First Frost" feel a little scary. Under the command of Nanyun, the destroyer Hatsushuang was like a seeder, throwing depth bombs into the sea one after another.
"Fuck! I'm bitten!" At this time, the German naval officers and soldiers inside the U190 submarine really experienced the feeling of terror. Although they dived early enough and the depth was relatively large, the Japanese were pretty lucky. Yes, some of the depth charges were detonated around the submarine U190!
The powerful shock wave generated after the explosion of nearly 100 kilograms of explosives continuously hit the shell of the submarine. The U190, which had dived to a depth of 40 meters, was under tremendous pressure. Under the violent collision, the strong shell emitted bursts of teeth-piercing noises. A sour twist. Some vulnerable parts, such as rivets, experienced moderate water seepage, and the damage control team, led by officers, began to plug the leaks. The only good news is that the battery pack is in pretty good condition and there is no leakage. You must know that this is an acid battery. Once it leaks, anyone without a gas mask will die!
Now Dönitz finally realized what it means to wander between life and death, what it means to live like a year. Except for the damage control team, everyone stayed inside. They didn't dare to move around casually, watching the flickering lights in the cabin. , listening to the vibrations coming from outside from time to time, coupled with the environment in the deep sea, this kind of pressure is enough to make people with average will collapse.
After a long period of time, maybe ten minutes, maybe an hour, without looking at the watch, and under tremendous mental pressure, almost everyone becomes numb to the concept of time.
Dönitz and others suddenly noticed that there was no sound coming from the side, and the small things that had rolled to the ground due to the vibration were almost still. The inside of the control tower was extremely quiet. After a while, the damage control team reported news , the leak has been plugged, and everyone is breathing a sigh of relief.
"It seems to be over?" After a moment, the voice from outside the boat gradually disappeared. When the battery was close to its limit, Dönitz nodded and motioned to come up and take a look at the situation.
The submarine's water tank began to drain, and the hull began to slowly rise. After approaching the depth of the periscope, Dönitz walked to the periscope and prepared to observe the surrounding situation. However, a glimmer of light made him feel fear from the bottom of his heart. ! The other party didn't leave! And there are enough light sources to control the sea surface! At this moment, Dönitz stopped raising the periscope and prepared to dive deep again!
The sea surface was shrouded in searchlights, and the light source penetrated the sea water, allowing the rising periscope to capture the bright light. It may be difficult for others to do this, but for a Germany that has been in low light for a long time and has remained vigilant enough For Sea Wolf, this light is enough to arouse his alertness! The other party did not leave, but was still searching the sea with searchlights! And the reaction he had gained from long-term battlefield experience made Dönitz make a decisive decision!
"We fell into a trap, and the other party didn't leave! They have been waiting for us on the sea!" Dönitz ordered loudly and desperately. However, this time, he was very unlucky. Although the submarine did not surface, and even the periscope did not emerge from the water at the end, the huge shadow of the submarine had reached a depth that could be observed. Nagumo Chuichi was pretty lucky, and he seized the fleeting opportunity. The destroyer Hatsushuang rushed over again and dropped a second wave of depth bombs!
This time, the Chushuang's bite was very accurate. The explosion of the depth charges had caused heavy damage to the submarine. Following a violent shaking, some parts of the submarine's shell finally collapsed, and a certain amount of seawater poured into the interior of the hull. Well, some valves were removed because they could not withstand the huge pressure! The continuous explosions are like the bells of doom, making people feel fearful, helpless, and desperate.
"Our battery pack was damaged and we must surface as soon as possible. The two people in the battery compartment have been killed by poison gas. They didn't have time to put on gas masks," the deputy said to Dönitz.
"What should we do?" Although he was trying his best to restrain the fear in his heart, the deputy's intermittent vibrato when he said these words had already revealed his state of mind at this time. The large beads of sweat and pale face also told Dönitz, This guy’s spirit has reached its limit!
"Put them and the debris into the torpedo tube and launch it." At this moment, Dönitz suppressed the fear in his heart and gave the order. If even he was confused at this moment, then there would really be no hope. saved! This was the last chance to make a move. If the Japanese could not be deceived, then even if the Japanese stopped attacking, their best result would be to float up when they could no longer hold on and then surrender. The premise is that the Japanese who were beaten crazy tonight are willing to accept the prisoners' words.
"Is this useful?" The deputy hesitated slightly. After all, using the corpses of his colleagues was a bit...
"We don't have a better choice, do we? My mission is to bring as many people home as possible!" Dönitz said.
